C, Aug. 1.1891. ; ^f iThe ajcumttlation of low grade cotton - ; has overstocked the markets of the world,1 ^'Mdlbiff^surplus will probably have to be' v-^sacrificed at extremely low prices. On i ^' ithe other hand; the supply of good cotton is quite limited, and there is always a 1 ^ market for the better grades. It is there ? fore a, matter of the .utmost importance t&ta 0aT:friendB, the planters, that extra? ordinary care be taken in handling the V next crop. The greatest precaution '/ .should bo taken to pick the cotton only |?<whehlit is perfectly dry, avoiding stained ^^'aandy cotton, which should be most ^caiflftdly kept separate from the better ^ qualities. Then exercise care in setting ^the^giri saws,- so as to avoid cutting the - staple, and when packed, see that no ^?gin' falls, inferior cotton, sand nor water ;>.wfeipermitted in the baling. ThlB prepa? ration will insure a ready sale at the best current prices, while the neglect of these ::; precautions will probably cause a loss of I i ^ from five dollars to ten dollars per bale , to the.farmer, upon every bale he pro '^dticea.,' Hitherto many of our planters could afford to take the easier course and gin good, bad and indifferent cotton to? gether, but as the indications point to ruinous prices for medium and inferior d&rades next season, it behooves every ^cpttpa. "producer to exercise the utmoBt ? ; iSare in preparing his crop for market. ?%f?We trust that our friends to whom this -'4etter is addressed, will appreciate our : :motive in offering this advice for their ^benefit, and that they will circulate it among their neighbors. >r ;. Alexajtdee Speunt & Son. ?-;- ? ; THE FBOSPEBTTT DEBATE. - Prof; Stokes and Senator Butler dis? cussed some of the Alliance demands at \ Prosperity last week. The sub-treasury ^3311 was the subject that received most ' attention. President Stokes'argument in rjfavor of the bill lacked precision, and {^was,: therefore, unsatisfactory either to o: iriends or. opponents. In fact, Mr. Stokes ^either fails to make the most of the sub ^^asury, or his Bide does not admit of ? plain facts and sound logic. He would - prefer, argumentum ad hominem to straightforward discussion of the merits of j fm?A?i. ?'?T? President Stokes, like other sub-treas r nry men, now begs the question, saying it is the plan and not the bill he is so warmly attached to. Bat it is not every : eye that can see the distinction drawn. '$?t President Stokes is beginning to find out the iniquitous and dangerous charac? ter of the sub-treasury bill he Bhould as : /-alst in throwing it overboard, and get back into a position where his Democracy X1? not liable to criticism. Wri: Senator Butler , spoke againBt the bill <Wthree leading grounds, its unconstitu? tionally, its lack of Democratic c?aj^b Wttfc and the discrimination it would give riae to. The Senator's points were well taken, and all accounts say he carried the andience with him. ' As to some of the obnoxious elements of the bill, let us quote a paragraph or two from Senator Butler's speech:. Senator Butler then read sections 2,3, 4 and 5 of the bill, and said, with refer? ence to the last section, that it gave the manager the right to grade and classify the amount and quality of the product ,* that he (the manager) is the final arbiter. What chance, said the Senator, has the poor man?or, for that matter, what chance would a rich man have?if he should excite the enmity or animosity of this'lordly manager? He could grade your cotton and corn down to nothing; could give it auch a qualify as would pre? vent it from being sold, if you should make him mad; Where would you be then, with your warehouse receipt in your pocket? As to the warehouse receipt, I can take that receipt, and by writing my name across it I can pass it to somebody else, who can pass it to somebody else, and the first thing.you know away it has gone. A voice?Hit him again! .Section 6 was then discussed as to the payment, etc. How paid ? Not in treas? ury notes, ?s my friend has suggested in his discussion of flexible currency, but in lawful money of the United States. Talk to me about flexible currency. What sea? son of the year do we want money most? Why, it is in the spring and summer, but according to the provisions of this bill, the money goes back to the treasurer of the United States, and is destroyed at the very time we need it. ~ . .The manager is made the solo judge as to the rejection of unmerchantable pro? duct. If he should happen to take some dislike to me, I carry my cotton there to get a merchantable order, and he says, "Not merchantable," and declines to re? ceive it. I am not quite that much of a baby to get to a point where I have to go to a Bepnblican manager and let him pass judgment on my business. When I do this 1 want some friend to send me to the lunatic asylum. '."Another paragragh on national banks will be interesting : Question by some one in the crowd Bo not the national banks get money from the government at 1 per cent ? Senator Butler?That is a mistake.. They do not. I am opposed to national; banks, but not for the reason that per? haps you would assign. The national banks were the outgrowth of the war, to aid in putting down the "rebellion." They were established about '62 or '63. a Senator Butler then gave a history of the national, banking system, and said that a man could not be considered less a patriot if he owned bank stock. I do not oppose the national banks because they are thieves or contract the currency and extend it to suit speculators, because they do not do this. .Tea put your m on ? ey in national banks as you would in cotton or mules, for the money that yon can make out of it The Senator demolished, the sub-treas? ury plan, and had the satisfaction of knowing,that he was carrying Alliance men, with him, though they are all sup? posed to have bended so absolutely to the will of the leaders that they dare not be opponents of the measure. The Senator said the Ocala. platform was generally good democracy, excepting the sub treasury and the governmental control of railroads demands, neither of which his conscience nor his judgment would allow him to endorse. As the Greenville News says, there is not. a section of the sub-treasury bill that cannot be knocked, higher than Gilderoy'a kite?which has never yet come down?when the effort is made by an ordinarily well-informed and intelli? gent man. *_ . THE CLEMSON COLLEGE FACULTY. The Board of Trustees of Clemson College met last week and completed the organization of the faculty, with the ex? ception of two chairs, that of Biology and Botany and of Geology and Mineralogy. The Faculty proper, it seems, will be composed of fifteen members, when com? pleted. - It is likely that the College will secure the services of a military instructor, even if the Citadel Academy has to give up the U. S, officer heretofore stationed there. It will be remembered that the Agri? cultural Department has been moved to Clemson, and that its corps of officers will also be instructors fn the College. The following chairs were filled by the Trustees last week: English?C. M. Furman, Greenville; assistant, T. F. Harrison, Anderson. ^Physics, C. W. Welch, Newberry. History?W. S. Morrison, Greenville. . Agriculture and Horticulture?J. S. Newman, of. the Agricultural and Me? chanical College of Alabama; assistant, "J. F. C. Dupre. Mechanics?A. Y. Zane, United States Naval Academy. Instructor in Drawing?Wm. Welch, Newberry. Mathematics?President Strode ; asso? ciate, J. G. Clinkscales, of the Columbia Female College; assistant, J. W. Penin, Abbeville. Assistant Professor of Chemistry?B. M. Brackett, a Charlestonian, now of the Missouri Agricultural College. Assistant Professor of Agriculture?W. IC. Welburn, of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Mississippi. It can hardly fail to be- apparent to every one that Clemson College is going to be nearly as top-heavy as was the South Carolina University. The equilibrium can only be saved by a large attendance of pupils, which at present seems will be the case. It is said that 618 applications have already been made by boys desiring to attend. Should that number go, tbe Faculty will have to be increased. So far Abbeville has the greatest num? ber of applicants, with Orangebnrg a close second. Abbeville has 61, Orange burg 60, Edgefield 42, Greenville 26, Anderson 39. Barn well 34, etc. The College may consider itself fortun? ate if 50 per cent, of the applications materialize. There is an impression somewhat prevalent that a boy can go to Clemson and make his expenses by work? ing on the farms, perhaps even clear something. Should any one entertain j such an idea a little practical experience will remove the mist from his eyes. I Were such a happy delusion possible, Clemson College could hardly be made large enough to accommodate the young men that would flock there. We fear that a sore disappointment is awaiting many a one because of this notion. ! While a great hurrah is being made about the State's Institutions, which are backed by the State treasury, and about what they will do for the poor boy, the private denominational Colleges move quietly along and educate more boys than all the State Institutions put to? gether. And we doubt if there are not more poor boys, who do not pay a cent of their own expenses, educated in these colleges in one year than in the State Colleges in two. Has the State ever had, or will it ever have, a College that is not almost purely a rich man's College ? Arkansas City, Kas., Aug 2.?A re? port reached here from the Cherokee country that near the Neosho river peo? ple are gored to death by Texas cattle. A woman and two little girls were first j attacked and literally torn to pieces. A j cowboy, who attempted to save them, was thrown from his horse and instantly I killed. 1 Ten Acres to tue Jffnle. The Alliance members of the Legis? lature, over a hundred in number, met in the capitol the other night to consider the cotton situation, and the following resolutions offered by Hon. A. H. Smith, the representative from Greene county, were adopted: Whereas, Cotton is the money crop of the larger portion of Georgia; and Whereas, This fact has led to a con? stant extension of the cotton belt and an increase, annually, in the acreage given to cotton and in the number of bales produced; and Whereas, This large and increasing crop,, coupled with circumstances and combinations over which the producer has practically no control, has resulted in prices that are both unremunerative and discouragingj and Whereas, Our best interests demand that we should attempt at least to find, in onr own management, a remedy for this end; therefore, be it Besolved, By members of this confer? ence of senators and representatives, who are alliancemen, that, in our judgment, the first step to be taken in furtherance of relief is a great rednction in the acreage to be planted in cotton in 1892? this reduction to be made in each and all of the cotton-growing States. Besolved, further, That a committee of five from this conference be appointed by the chairman, at his leisure, to bring this important matter to the attention of the State alliance, at the session to be held in this city next month, to the end that said body, speaking for the alliance* men of Georgia, shall declare in favor of the reduction of the cotton area as herein recommended, and take all steps neces? sary to secnre. the co-operation of our brethren in the cotton States and to make sure the object of this movement as out? lined in the foregoing preamble and res? olutions. : Mr. Smith, in talking about the matter, put it this way: ? "I don't care how much money comes down here, if we go on planting cotton this way we will continue poor. When the alliance members of the legislature met, I asked all who. planted all cotton, bough t their corn ana had a dollar in their pockets to stand-up. I also asked those who raised their supplies, made cotton a surplus crop, and had no money to rise. Four or five gave their expe? riences, and said that they raised their provisions, made cotton a surplus crop and had money to lend. One man said he sold his corn this year for a dollar a bushel, spot cash. Now, what does this mean? It means that when we plant all cotton and buy corn, we increase the supply of cotton, thereby depressing the price and increase the demand for corn, thereby increasing the price. We bear the price of cotton that we Bell, and bull the price of corn which we buy. That sort of manage-: ment will make everybody poor. Let the so nth em States, through all the alii-, ances, adopt the policy of planting ten acres to the mule, and the price of cot? ton next year will be 12* cents. Noth? ing on earth can prevent it. It is the profit in the transaction that should be looked at. It is better to make five bales to the mule and own it than to make ten bales to the mule and owe eleven at the end of the year. This year it cost the farmers 3 cents a pound more to make cotton than they will get, and the great cost is due to the high price of provisions they are buying.?Atlanta Constitution CKDLES AND CASUALTIES. Lynchbubg, Va., July 30.?L. H. Harris, of North Danville, Va., an en? gineer on the Bichmond and Danville. Railroad, committed suicide here to-day by swallowing an ounce of laudanum. He was found about 5 o'clock this after? noon in an unconscious condition, lying under a railroad bridge just above the city. He was taken to the police station, where he died at 11 o'clock to-night. He left a memorandum, stating that bad treatment on the part of his wife caused the rash deed. ? Selwood, Fla? July 31.?A. C. Jones, a section foreman on the Florida Central and Peninsula Railroad, was shot and killed last night by Miss Myra Fancher, who is only sixteen years of age. For about a year Jones had paid attention to Miss Fancher, and it was generally un? derstood that they were engaged to be married. Two months .ago, however, he discarded her and married another. Last night Miss Fancher laid in wait for him on the street, and when he approach* ed she blew out bis brains with a bullet from a revolver. She was arrested, but public sympathy is entirely on her side. Jones had ruined her under promise of marriage. Pbospebity, July 29.?A serious cut? ting scrape occurred here to-day at the Alliance barbecue and picnic. An old fend existing between James Hunter and some of the Morrises was re-kindled. Mr. James Hunter was struck on the head with a club, inflicting a painful but not seriouB wound. Mr. George Morris was badly cut in the face and neck. His injuries are reported to be very danger? ous, and may prove fatal. Mr. H. M. Singly rushed in to settle the difficulty, and was accidentally cat in the throat. Mr. Singly's wound is very serious. Mr. Julius Epting was cut on the back of his right hand while attempting to stop the fuss; Others received minor inju? ries. Birmingham, Ala., July 31.?Requi? sition papers were granted today by Gov? ernor Jones for D.B. Whilden, who has been arrested at Portland, Oregon, at the request of the New York Mutual Life Insurance Company. Whilden, who has $40,000 on his life, disappeared in March, 1890, and was supposed to have been drowned in the Tennessee River. The Insurance Companies resisted the claim and put detectives at work on the case. Whilden was heard of at Tacomc on Ju? ly 17, and detectives were sent there, and on July 24 he was arrested at Portland. Five insurance companies are interested, and suits against four of them for $30,000 of the $40,000, brought by Whilden's wife, are now pending in the Birmingham Courts. Unless he is released before the requisition papers arrive, Whilden will be brought back to Birmingham. Augusta, Ga., Augast 1.?A wreck, in which an engineer and fireman were kill? ed, occurred at midnight last night at Rideeville, on the South Carolina rail? road. The fast mail, which left Colum? bia for Charleston, ran into the- way freight, which bad not cleared the main line. Engineer Henry Brissenden and Fireman W. B. Brown, seeing the dan? ger they were running into, jumped from the cab while the engine was running at full speed. Engineer Brissenden had his neck broken, his leg mangled, and was cut in the stomach. He died instant? ly, Fireman Brown also had his neck broken from the jump. There was an? other fireman in the cab, Mr. Webb Johnson. Johnson did not leap, but re mained in the cab until the engine struck a switch, and turned over on its side. He escaped with a broken leg. Birmingham, Ala., July 31.?Fifty kegs of powder in the Alabama Great Southern depot exploded about midnight last night, completely wrecking the build? ing and demolishing a number of oars on adjacent side tracks. Fire was noticed in the building before the powder explo? ded, but there was scarcely time to give the alarm before the explosion occurred. The Depot was almost entirely consumed with its contents. The latter are valued at $80,000 and the other Iobscb will foot up about the same amount. Only one man was in the building and he was thrown out of bed by the explosion. A few minutes before the explosion a watchman had been over the building and found it all right. Glass was shat? tered in all the windows around the neighborhood for four or five blocks, and houses trembled for a mile around. It is believed that two men Been loafing around the building early in the night set the building on fire. Osbo?n, Ga., July 29.?While 200 people were assembled at Lower High tower Church, near here, in Towns Coun? ty, on last Sunday, a stroke of lightning fell near the Church, and glancing from the ground where it first struck, proceed ed to play havoc with the congregation. Two or three currents seemed to enter the Church, and in an instant threw ev? erything into confusion. Benches were upset, and the floor'was covered with people, variously affected by the stroke. Some were knocked senseless, while oth? ers had their clothes and Bhoes torn from their body. Many were burned and streaks and marks were left on their bodies where the current touched them. Nearly every one in the congregation has marks where the lightning touched. Ex State Senator J. W. Foster waB knocked senseless, and on recovering found marks down hiB legs and on his body. He did not know what had struck him. Many of the congregation found holeB burned in their clothes, some of the garments looking as if a load of shot had been' through them. Strange to Bay, no one. was killed, though many were rendered temporarily unconscious. A horse, which was standing on the opposite side of the Church from where the lightning first struck, was killed outright, The Assault on Rev. Sam Jones ?Houston, Tex., July 30.?This city was never bo shaken up as it was to-day over the cowardly assault made upon Rev. Sam P. Jones last night. When Mr, Jones ascended the stand at the Hatching park pavilion, he had be? fore him a large audience, most of whom were ladies. When he had reached the middle of his address the lights were suddenly extinguished. Eggs flew in all directions, striking the shrieking ladies as well as the speaker. The scene which followed beggars description, When quiet was restored, Mr. Jones resumed and finished his lecture. The feud which thus developed owes its origin to a previous visit of Mr. Jones, when he denounced the lawless element. These toughs'promised to make it warm for the preacher whenever he should re? turn, with the result stated. John Raessley, Qus Santer and several others engaged in the liquor business have been arrested. They will be pun? ished to the extent of the law. A Boneless Child. Athens, CU., July 31.?The Athena Banner has a curious story to tell in this morning's issue concerning a child that is eleven years old and hasn't a bone in its body. It says: "There is in the State'of Georgia to? day a child eleven years old but very little larger than when it was born; and without a bone in its entire body. >? "A citizen of Athens tells us this, and he is a gentleman of undoubted veracity. The names of the parents and the place where they reside are not given, as they are sensitive upon the subject. "This curious freak of nature is sug? gested at present by a story going the rounds of the press concerning a woman' in New York gradually becoming ossified. She noticed the ends of her fingers be? come stiffened, and one day knocked one of her fingers againBt a table and broke off the end joint. It was a solid bone and very brittle. Her nose and feet are now turning to bone. "On the other hand, here is a human being without a bone in its body. If the former ia a curiosity, what must be this latter? "The child in question was bom with? out any bones in its body, and has lived until now it is eleven years old. It has never grown to any appreciable size, and although eleven years old, is not much larger than it was when born. It has never talked,-and consequently takes no notice of its surroundings. "Necessarily it is a hard thing to keep it alive, but its parents are very devoted to it, and some one stays by it constantly to feed it on milk and water. It is necessary to give it milk or water almost every fifteen minutes. "Strange to say, the mother is more devoted to it than any of her other children, and says Bhe would rather give any of them up than this one. If this child were to die, she says, it would land her in the asylum. "For years and years she has Bat by its bedside and her mind has been eo con? stantly upon it that she would go crazy if it were taken from her. "The child gives no evidence of ever growing any larger than it is now. "This is vouched for as the truth, and the gentleman who told this knows the name of the parents and where they live." . _ The Way of the World. We were lately under the wide spread? ing roof tree of our beloved friends, Mr. and Mrs. C, 0. Fuller, of Longmires, where peace and plenty, refinement and generosity, loving kindness and hospital? ity, flow down like an everlasting riyer. The mansion was filled with happy guests, most of them young and gay ana bright, Among them, is handsome Leslie An? drews, of Kirksey's. He has the truest and most reliable bass voice we know of, and loves to sing. It is Boon after breakfast. The young people, chattering like a flock of Brazilian parrots, gather on the long piazza just without the parlor door. Within the parlor, the Chronicle sits at the piano, and, with handsome Leslie Andrews, sings all the most beau? tiful and pathetic of the Gospel Hymnt. The splendid ? bass and the good piano make up for the somewhat cracked treble of the Chronicle, and the music is good? full of sympathy and feeling. But throughout it all, the Brazilian parrots chatter and scream and laugh. And now we try a little trick. Suddenly we strike up that immortal and irrepressible old jig: "Hell Broke Loose in Georgia." And in two seconds the Brazilian parrots flock in and surround the piano. Two of them light on our weary shoulders and flap .their green wings. All of them dance; if not with their feet, at least with their eyes and souls.' "Hell Broke Loobc in Georgia," had silenced and drawn the parrots where the GoBpel Hymns had no effect. This, of course, is inborn moral depravity.?Edgefield Chronicle. ? "Do you know," said a well known Ex-Confederate officer to a New York Sun reporter, "that the Confederate Government was the only Government In the world that really enforced pro? hibition ? During the war the Govern? ment prohibited the manufacture of liquor in Virginia. It was here that the army was, and the same prohibition ex? tended to the other Southern States. This law was made because the Govern? ment wanted all the grain to feed the people. The further result was that the Confederate army was the soberest army that the world ever had. The lit? fie liquor that could be had was only ob? tained upon the prescription of a surgeon. The first three barrels of liquor for med? icinal purposes were Bent under guard through West Virginia and consigned to a leading Burgeon. They were carted over the mountains, and several days were occupied in the trip. At their des? tination the barrels were found to be emp? ty. At first this was a mystery, but an examination showed that a gimlet hole had been bored in each cask, the liquor drawn out, and the hole neatly plugged. The whole battalion sent along as guards for this liquor had in this way swallowed it all gradually, and, though a big row was raised, it was impossible to fix the offence on any one." ? A cable special says: "A marvelous and horrible accident happened recently at a private house in Paris. The host had invited a number of friends to luncheon. A great Danish boar hound was In the room, according to oustom. A guest hap? pened to drop hiB napkin, and while stooping to pick it up the dog with a spring seized his throat and killed him, There waB a terrible struggle to pull the beast off, but without avail.
