President Stokes Anawers the Attack of Col. Keitt. To the Editor of the News and Courier: I have just read in your issue of January 3 the ill timed, not to say ill-tempered, an tele of Col. Ellison S. Keitt aneot the Senatorial contest in which he was in tere?'ed as a candidate, "not in a common ;.crepiance of that word," as he himself puts it. Your comments thereon are eminently Pertinent, entirely fair, size up the situa !i.iu fairly well,, and donbtle3s give ntter to the undercurrent of conviction pi :.ing through the minds of all think? ing men at all acquainted with the facts r in '.he case. At the same time, as you I 'roirriate,- some expression is proper and ' r y.p cted from methough, as you justly u-ioHtk, no good can possibly result to I the Order or to the public Bervice by this [ pirbti? parade of a purely family affair. I feel sure, therefore, that yotTwi? not rduse to a reply the facilities of y?ar widely-read journal that have already becu accorded the untimely attack. As a whole the article in question is unique. Analysis shows it to contain a modicum of argumentation, considerably more of declamation and innuendoes, and a column of animus. With its argu? ment I shall deal principally ; with its animus only incidentally, secondarily. Its declamation I have neither time nor patieuce to discuss. It is strangely familiar, and oft repeated story. Divested ot its declamation and innu? endo, Col. Keitt's propositions are four, and to the discussion of these proposi? tions I shall strive to bring absolute fair? ness, but at the same time entire frank ness and rigid logic. If the application of these tests to aspersions upon the characters of hiu brethren?aspersions as unworthy as unwarranted?results in apparent harshness on my part, such harshness must be attributed to the inexorable conditions of the case as made up by him, and not to any unfra ternal feeling on my part. The constitu? tion of our Order forbids, as I understand it, my indulging before the public through the press in animadversions upon ! a member of the Order. Provision is made within the Order itself for the adjudication of all differences between members. I shall endeavor,- therefore, to confine myself to his propositions :? 1. Col. Keitt holds that an Alliance man, who is a member of Congress, com I mits perjury "if he is in any degree influ? enced by party caucus." In justification of his charge he quotes an agreement signed by committees of the National Alliance and of the Knights of Labor, which agreement, he intimates, every Alliance is sworn to obey. In view of his ne plus ultra manner on this point one can scarcely help wondering w' >-:her Col. Keitt has ever read the express ner? vation precedent to the pledge taken by every applicant for initiation and upon which the pledge is conditioned. There are not a few men in the Order as true, as honest and (if it be not treason to say it) as intelligent and statesmanlike as Col. Keitt, who think that the agreement quoted by him, in so far as it relates to party caucus, "conflicts with the freedom of their political views." This question has never been adjudicated, and in cases of conflict of opinion, especially among brethren and equals, a commeudable modesty would suggest the suppression of intemperate charges. 2. His second proposition, as well as the third, is a corollary of the first, and stands or falls with it. The imputation of perjury to Senator Irby, therefore, is not justified in the premises. Senator Irby, whose record as an Alliance man, it seems to me, will suffer no disparage? ment by comparison even with Col. Keitt's, proposes to work for the Alliance demands through the Democratic party. Col. Keitt's political conscience is not offended by the parly caucus clause; Irby'e is?that is the whole of it. In our judgment the shameful insinuations aud offensive epithets aimed by indirection against his brother Alliance man by Col. Keil t are wholly unworthy and inexcusa? ble upon any conceivable principles either of public utility or of Alliance I polity. But Senator Irby is abundantly able to take care of himself, even if if were probable that th?- g?fn*r:il pub :o, to whom Col. Keitt has appealed thj$j case i of distinctly Allimcc jurisdiction, would not make just discrimination betw? o ;be merit6 and the spirit of the two u i -. 3. His third proposition foil >va by implication from the second, and falld to the ground with it. but the Colonel must not evade the logic which he has invok? ed. If Senator Irby is guilty of perjury, a3 charged by Col. Keitt under the terms of the agreement quoted, then is -every Alliance member of the General Assem? bly involved in the same condemnation, Col. Keitt being judge, jury and prose? cuting attorney in the ca=e?except those who voted for Col. Keitt. Now, since not even his supporters voted for him on the last several ballots, all are perjurers by reason of their failure to vote for Col. Keitt. This conclusion is unavoidable, because the agreement quoted reads: "We will support for office only such men as can be depended upon to enac! these principles into statute law uninfluenced by party caucus." This, Col. Keitt says, every member of the Alliance is sworn to obey. Very well?Col. Keitt was the only candidate member of the Alliance who considered that freedom from party caucus influence was not in ''conflict with his political view.." But on the last few ballots all the Alliance members of the General Asstmbly failed to vote for Col. Keitt, aud under his construction they all stand perjured by reaaou of that fail? ure. This is a grave charge preferred against venerable Senators McGil 1 aud Rcdfearo, sgainst honest Dr. Strait, Joseph L. Keitt, and all the other Alli? ance members of the Senate and House. On behalf of these men, whose honesty and intelligence, and may I add their statesmanship, is certainly equal to Col. Keitt's, I repudiate utterly the imputa? tion. Me may be, aud I believe he is, a brilliant man and a loyal member of the Order; but that all the loyalty, honesty or even statesmanship in the Order resides in him will be grudgingly admitted by a large majority. 4. As to myself. Col. Keitt says "all was lost by the treason of one man, Sena? tor Stokes." It would be interesting to know what the ''all" was that Col. Keitt nays was lost. We presume he wrote from the standpoint of an Alliance man, and how the Alliance could losea'tything in the election of Col. Irby, an honored ind trusted olllcer of the Order, pledged to ils demands and a tireless worker for 'Tfe can?'e, an lTrift'eif Utftfef? HVnatHr. jfmto my apprehension. In the absence of an itemized account of loss we are driven to inference or else the method of exclusion. It could not be the loss of Hampton he deplored, because Hampton was a caucus man as a matter of course. It could not be Donaldson whose loss he deplores, for his (Donaldson's) political views did not admit of freedom from caucus influence. (History, by the way, furnishes no in? stances of nobler bearing during the fight and defeat than that of Donaldson and Hampton.) Then where and what is the Iobs ? Col. Keitt was the only candidate (in an uncommon sense) who was not elected. The Colonel seems a good deal exas? perated because I called in, as he says, I the Alliance caucus-, and he proceeds to Btate what transpired in tke-former Alli? ance eaucus. He must excuse me from dis? cussing publicly what transpired* behind the closed-'doors of an Alliance meeting. The pledge-at initiation expressly forbids this. But, assuming that the brother's premises are correct, let us see how his conclusions follow. He' says that the i Alliance had a majority in the General ; Assembly and could have elected i(s mern. Efe says, further, that the atten? dance upon1 the Alliance caucus was about forty. It rectrired eighty-one to elect a Senator on joint b&Mot. He can? not certify that even all those forty mem? bers present, as he says, at the jftlKance caucus weft unpledged or agreed1 with him as to th 3 j^arty canens clause ; and yet he asserts witft'S?t qualification that the Alliance could have elected its man independent of the Refb?m members, who were in full sympathy with the Alliance, had stood shoulder with us, and had in many instances come tc the Legisfatnre on Alliance issues, but who were ineligible to membership. For my part, even if it had been possible to elect a Senator within ourselves, which I deny |iunder existing circumstances, wit?: Alli ! ance demands absolutely secure in the hands of Irby, Donaldson or Keitt?the only men who were to come before that general cauenfe1 as Reformers?I was opposed to excluding from participation men just as true to 00/ principles end honest, though they were ineligible to membership. Col. Keitt lays much store by the fact that some Alliance men conld not gain access to the Reform caucus, but he fails to state that those Alliance men could not go into a caucus of Reformers because they wert pledged to Hampton. But I did not act wholly upon my own [judgment in calling the Alliance caucus. All the Alliance men candidates were consulted either in person or through their representatives, and I thought I had their concurrence in doing so. The only objection I heard was raised after I had notified the general Reform1 caucus of our intention to meet with1 them. Col. Keitt says I "sold out the Al'&aace for the shadow of being Governor of She State four years hence," I deny the charge in toto and cite him to his proofs. I take it that my denial is worth fully as much as his assertion that he was at no time a candidate in a common acceptance of that word, and so Bome proof will be necessary on this part. And what does he submit in the nature of proof? A quotation from the World's Columbia notes, in which it was stated incidentally that I was being "carefully groomed for the Governorship in 1894," only this and nothing more. These are the terms of the trade he ?ays The childlike simplicity of this con? ception is possible only in a miod accus? tomed to uncommon attitudes. Certainly one of us common minds would not be content with a shadow. That sort of trading, I presume is a peculiarity of uncommon minds. Hero is his argument. He says the World published that shad? ow ; afterward I led off into a general Reform caucus, therefore the shadow was the cause of my leading off?post hoc propter hoc. This is "logical conclusion" with a vengeance. It is the logic of sub? limated puerility. No rational mind wUi accept this as proof. He says there was a trade. This necessitates a purchaser as well as a seller. Let him name the other party to the trade, or else stand before the public to wbich be has appealed, rather than to the Order he is aworn to obey, as having spoken against a brother without a cause. He should know I was not in the city when the World report was written, and bad not been for a week. Let him call up the man to whom or from whom came any proposition concerning myself and the Governorship. Let him call witness 63 within or without the Stale. He has the World behind him. He has had a good deal to say about loyalty to the Order; aboutcrime against the Order by the election of Irby, an honored member of the Order, to the Senate. In my humble judgment, loyal? ty to the Order means loyalty to its cardinal principles?brotherly love, chari? ty ; crime against the Order is insepara? ble from disregard of these principles That quality of a man, as well as of an Allianceman, is highest which takes a brother by the band and says to him, "Go, sin no more." Between this quality and that which thank God "I am not as other men," there is the whole diameter of existence. J. W>r. Stokes, Pres. S. C. State Farmers' Alliance. Orangeburg, January 5, 1891. ? An oyster canning factory has been established at Charleston. Mr. George Ruitt, of Troup County, Gh., is mentioned by the papers of that State as a model farmer. Recently he took to market from a two-mule farm of eighty acres tbe one hundredth bale of cotton raised this year, besides a large quantity of corn and potatoes. ? Charles Guillemot, of New York, inherited $80,000 fifteen years ago. ?.S soon as he got his money be went on a big spree, from which he has just emerg? ed without a cent. He has braced up enough to briug suit for another fortune of iWS.OOO to which he is entitled. It is to be hoped that he will not have long to wait for his money. It is hard, indeed, when a fellow has to spend a dry Christ? mas when he has been in soak fifteen years. ? The gambling-house of Charles Voss, at Wichita, Kan., was invaded Wednesday night by Mrs. Oscar Dacey, whose husband had lost $660 there. She demanded the money back. Voss oaid he would put her out, and started Inward her. She drew a pistol, fired at Vosb's head, cutting off a lock of hair. He fell to the floor and persisted in yelling that he had been murdered, but she coolly told him she had not brought blood, but would if she did not get tbe money. He returned the money.

There was nothing in the old da)'s io the seventies which demanded reparation bo quickly and so definitely as an insult. For a man to accept an insult without demauding or taking redress was to bring upon himself tbe scorn of the entire com? munity. Aud yet I accepted the worst kind of an insult oace.and even to this day f blush when I fornk rrf the circum? stances "I was in Hugo at the time, and was playing billiards when1 a man came io and hegau to make a disturbance.

I thought he was going to shoot me then and there, but he cbose not to do this from some whim. "I'm going to slap your face, Metcalfe, he said, so that you can tell people about it. Turn year cheek around here." "I looked way down the barrel of that six-shooter so far that it seemed to me that I could see a bullet in its chamber. I set my teeth against the ioBult. I knew I was deadly pale. " 'Turn it,' he said. 'One two-' and I turned my cheek. I do not feel the blow, but the flame, which scorched it afterward was like a furnace fire. 'Now', he wid, with a laugh give, tbe other one.' Again he counted?'two-, and I presented my/ other cheek for a slap. "If ever I wanted to* kill a man it was that feilow, but I had no show at all. I remember the sickening feeling which passed over me at the thought that he might insist upon- breaking my nose. Eevolver or no revolver, I do not believe I could have stood that. But I took the insult, not from him, but from a six shooter. A man can't argue against a revolver. But for months and months I longed to meet that man on even terms. I never saw him again ."?Natkville American. Which 19 the Mother. Which is the mother of the chick?the |ihen that lays the egg or the hen that ihatches it? This is a Question just de I cided by Justice McMahon, of Parkville, a stnoll but interesting suburb oS Brook? lyn. U is tbe first case of the kind known to1 have been brought into court, and by reason of its unique importance tbe trial has occupied much of the time of the presiding justice. The facts are that Farmer McCaughn and Farmer Gormley are next door neighbors, and their henneries adjoin each other. McCaughn owns choice game birds, but fowls belonging to his neighbor are of the ordinary farmyard standard. It was testified to that one of Farmer Mc Caughn's hens scrambled over the fence, and indiscreetly, if not wickedly aud feloniously, did lay two eggs, at divers times, on Farmer Gormley's premises. Tbe triumphant note which heralded this material achievement did not sug? gest to Farmer Gormley the propriety of picking up the eggs and delivering them into the possession of the owner of tbe hen. On the contrary, he promptly put them under a sitting hen owned by him? self, and in due course of time they were batched. So soon as their feathers and little red combs began to grow Farmer McCanghn observed that these dubious chickens were full blooded game birds, like those of his own hennery and he made a demand for them. Farmer Gormley de? nied the claim of ownership with empha? sis and disdain. Tivan Farmer Mc? Caughn summoned his chicken-raising neighbor before the court for trial and issue was joined. The Question was not between hen and hen, nut between far? mer and farmer, or, rather, it was a question as to whose hem wa-f ho mother of the chickens. Now ordinary common sense would suggest that as the hatching of chickens is a mere mechanical process, chiefly dependent upon caloric, as science has demonstrated most thoroughly, it is not characteristic, or necessarily even suggestive of motherhood. The sitting hen is unquestionably an efficient incu? bator, and so, too, would be a rooster, if | you could get him to sit long enough; but who would presume to Bay that a rooster could become a mother, even if he should hatch a dozen broods ? Jus? tice McMahon has decided that Farmer Gormley must surrender the two chick? ens to Farmer McCaughn, or pay to him the full amount of their value. But is not Farmer Gormley entitled to pay for the labor and services of his hen in hatching the eggs ? The decision ot the justice is righteous as to the main point at issue, but he seems to have overlooked the fundamental propriety of a counter claim. We advise Farmer Gormley to appeal._ m ON^ ENJOYS Both the method and results -when Syrup of Figs is taken; it is pleasant and refreshing to the taste, and acts gently yet promptly on the Kidneys, Liver and Bowels, cleanses the sys? tem effectually, dispels colds, head? aches and fevers and cures habitual constipation.
