reused the opinion inhis reply that if

e outlook for the Democracy of the
e country is bright, and success is
ering over the Democratic banners,
pito the attempt now being made by
w ambitious zealots to draw strength
m the ranks of the Democratic party
give life to a useless and dangerous
party. _
The Editor of tho Abbeville Press and
Banner thinks that tbe membership of
? the Alliance is overestimated, and ho
;: thinks he knows tho reason why its
: membership does not increase rapidly
^ and indefinitely. He says that Dr.
j Stokes claims that there aro 40,000 Alli
; ! ancemen in South Carolina, and 4,000,000
j membtvrs In the United States, while
j President Polk says there are 3,000,000
3 in tho United States. The Press arid Ban
' ner then reasons thus: Abbeville County
fnrnishes 600 members, and that County
ia supposed to have as many as any other
County in the State. Take the number
of Counties?54?and multiply by 600 and
the; total number of Alliancemen in the
Its to would bo 20,400, or about one-half
i what Dr. Stokes claims. Take this as
averagTState membership, and grant
that the organization exists in thirty
lies, there would then be a grand total
612,000 Alliancemen in the United
States, or only about one-sixth as many
vmTQtt*. Stokes, and about one-fifth as
jinauy as President Polk, claims for the
border. The reason assigned why the
organization doesn't grow immensely is
'that office-seekers and politicians have in
\a large measure taken charge of it, and
[hencethousands of members, who don't
fpropose to furnish cats-paws for the po
rHtically ambitious members, have quit
[ the order in disgust. There are numbers
of men who would become members of
thV Alliance if it was a non-political
1-bcdy, or if they thought the Democratic
party not put in jeopardy thereby,
BUTLER AND WATSON.
Senator Butler and Congressman-elect
Watson, of the 10th District, Georgia,
discussed'the sub-treasury bill at Bates
buxg on Wednesday of last week, and
incidentally the politics of the Hon. Tom !
Watson.
; Mr. Watson endorsed the sub-treasury
plan, and reproached Senator Bu .lev for
. discussing the bill, and not the plan at the
recent Prosperity meeting. Senator
Butler asked where he would find the
plan if it was not embraced in the bill.
He said he "would be under tho profound
est obligations to him (Watson) if he
would only tell me what that plan is.
I have not heard it, and he spoke for an
.txour and a half by the watch."
[' AboqVthe same line of controversy,
mid' con, that has been reported in
! columns already was followed, mi
speaker developed anything new
discussion of the bill, unless it was
the novel statement by Mr. Watson that
:JagoT6r?r>4 silver were articles of a vari?
able value tbey should not be taken as a
'forcect measure^of the value of other
bungs, but that labor should he made the
unit of value. He did not develop this
idea sufficiently to make it plain how
much labor or whoso labor would be ta
kon as a standard of measure.
Senator Butler favored the abolition of
national banks and tho establishment of
State banks to prevent a scarcity of mon
! ey in circulation.
It seems that the Cotton Plant, of which
Dr. J. W. Stokes is editor, reported that
Senator Butler mado a statement at Pros?
perity from which it drew the inference
that the Senator had accused forty thou?
sand (tho membership of the Alliance, so
claimed) South Carolinians of being
"thieves and scoundrels." In referonco
to this Senator Butler said, "I have stood
by tho sido of too many of tho good peo?
ple of this State when their souls and
courage were tried, to say here or at
Prosperity, or anywhere, that there were
forty thousand farmers in South Carolina
who were thieves and scoundrels, and I
brand the author of it as a liar."
Tom Watson, who has a fow admirers
in this county, is possessed of a consid?
erable fund of anecdotes which constitute
a large portion of his speeches, which aro
more conspicuous for their words and
wit than wisdom. As he is commonly
reported to bo in favor of the third party,
Senator Butler took him to task on tho
subject, asking him this question, "If the
Ocala platform is submitted to the Na?
tional Democratic Convention, and it is
rejected, will you stand by tho National
Convention?" Thi3 brought forth tho
equivocal answer, "Sufficient for tho day
is the eyil thereof."
The National Democratic Convection is
the higlest authority on Democracy in
the country, and he who is not ready to
! swear allegiance to its platform is not a
Democrat. Wats?n was elected to Con?
gress as a Democrat, and if his utterance
means anything it means he may or may
not be a traitor to his party. There is no
room in South Carolina for Tom Watson
and his third party ideas.
I A Business Trip Capped off "With a Little
Pleasure.
Editors Intelligencer : The rich and
Soor meet together"?that i3 the way they
o at Grant's Park in Atlanta on Sunday.
I went out to this pleasant ground last
Sunday and it is well worth the dime you
have to pav to ride there and back on the
"Dummy." The Park is beautifully laid
off in drives and walks, and in addition
to that they have a fine collection of ani?
mals, such as bear, deer, lions, camels,
and one elephant, besides many other
9maller animals and fowls,
i If we never went away from home we
would soon be so ignorant people would
take us for "green horns." I thought we I
had a little of everything in the world
here, but if you will go out and look
around a little you wIU find that we
haven't got anything much except the
best country to live in in the world.
Atlanta is a growing city?in fact, it is
growing too muob, for I see hundreds of
people there that ought to be in the coun?
try on the farm, where they could make a
living for themselves and help to support
the balance of the world; but they won't
do it, they had rather stay in town and
live on half rations (which I have no
doubt a great many of them do) than to be
out in the aountry where they would be
free.
Oar next stop was five hours in Borne.
This is a beautiful city, situated in the
fork of two rivers, one of which is navi?
gable several miles above Borne. They
have some very handsome and magnifi?
cent buildings in Rome, but they have a
hotel whore you can get the least to eat for
the most money of any place I ever e top?
ped at. Yon get ten cents worth of some?
thing to eat and sixty-five cents wor.h of
finery tc look at, all for seventy-five oonts.
Next we go to Trion Factory, on the
Chattoogtt River, directly on the C. R. <fc
C. B. E. This is only a factory town, but
it is one of business and bustle. They
run some 23,000 spindles and about 600
looms, I hink, ana make sheetings, shirt?
ings, drills and cotton rope. These mills
are located in a beautiful valley, we-t of
Taylor's ridge, and have for their Presi?
dent Mr. A. 8. Hamilton, of Rome, who
is as clever a business man as y>u might
wish to meet, and are run by our clever
and genial friend, Mr. Z. T. MoKinney,
late assistant Superintendent of Piedmont.
Under hia superintendencv the Trion
Mills are making a most superior quality
of goods, as well as a handsome profit for
his employers
. Through the courtesy of Mr. McKinney
we took a pleasure trip from this place to
Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain.
In company with him we left Trion at 5
o'clock, and arrived in Chattanooga about
dark Tuesday, 8th inst. We talk about
our little corn patches making corn, but
our corn hells bore are no more .ban
roasting ear patches along side of the corn
fields of North Georgia and around Chat?
tanooga, Tenn. We spend the night in
the city and had the pleasure of seeing the
cyclorama?a painting of the battle of At?
lanta?which is one of the greatest works
of art that it has ever been our good for?
tune to look at. Just think of an oil paint?
ing which took five tons of paint (ten
thousand pounds) to paint it, and several
thousand square feet of canvass to paint it
on, and yon will have some idea wbat
this painting is. Any old soldier will
readily recognize the different scenes here
depicted on this canvas, which looks as
natural as life and death itself.
Next morning we p;et on the electric car
for Lookout Mountain, for 1 am anxious
to see the place where I bad once been
during the struggle for Southern fndepen
dence. At the foot of the mountain we
mount the car on the incline railway,
which takes us to the Lookout Hotel on
the mountain. I tell yon this is riding up
hill, for we go nearly straight from the
foot of the mountain to the top, aud if the
rope that draws the car up was to break it
is uncertain when and where you would
stop. In going up we go by the house we
once went by going on picket. All of the
Jenkins brigade boys ':now this bouse
where tbey had the rock basin in the yard
for a spring, the water coming through
pipes from near the' top of the mountain
to it. When we get through looking
down on Chattanooga and the Tennessee
river winding through the valley below,
we continue our journey around the
mountain on the narrow-guage railroad to
Sunset Bock and Natural Bridge. Then
we embark on the broad-guage road for
the valley. This road runs twioe around
the mountain in making the descent. On
arriving in the valley I now want to see
our old campground. I tell my friend
Zaok I know that must be the place, for
there is the big wbito oak trees we got
acorns from when rations were short. I
know Dick Scott, John Whitt and all of
the old Company D, Hampton Legion
boys, remember these white oak trees. I
then go to the spring and get a drink of
water, and teU Zack it has been twenty
eight years since I drank at this spring.
You have no idea how my memory run
back to tho old war days. Here I bid
farewell to my old comrades to go borne
on furlough* aud it was forever to some of
them. There was Dray ton Bennett, John
Mauldin, Colbert Mattieon, Tom Loving,
Thos. J. DIckson, John Warren, Berry
Williams, Duff Bogers and several more
of tb ? Wave boys that I never saw again.
Some of them were killed at Will's Val
| ley, some at Campbell's Station, some at
Knoxville and some at Dandridge?all
before I got back to the Regiment at Mor
ristown. These were certainly sad recol?
lections to m?- There is the aamo old
house where Cob (afterwards Gen.) Gary
had bis headquarters, by t no tent in the
yard. So to get away from these scenes
of our war history we turn our backs on
them and mount the electric car for the
city. If any of my old comrades want to
see some acorns from the big tree at the
spring just come up and I will show them
to you.
Chattanooga is a live, pushing, business
city of about 60,000 inhabitants, which has
spread out until it reaches all over the
Lookout Mountain fronting the river. We
now bid adieu to our friend Zack and
start for home, after spending two days
and nights most pleasantly with him and
his genial wife and family.
Corn again?I thought I saw corn on
the C. B. & C. Boad, but it was nothing
to what they haye along the W. & A.
Road. No wonder ijill Arp brags on
Georgia, for he lives right in tho heart of
the State, so to speak. Now, William,
you ?rja making plenty of corn, and I.
hope you an4 tfce Alliance won't make us ?
pay so much for it tn&ibfi? 7<ear as you did
this year.
Mr. Editor, w?eu you get time to /lake !
another pleasure trip, ?Q&t go to Asne-1
ville, go to Chattanooga stuj Lookout
Mountain and you will not regret it. Go
to the Wallace Hotel for your bed, and to
the Ohio Eesiaurant, No. 18 West Ninth
Street, A. Barkel, Proprietor, and I as?
sure you that you will get the most to eat
for twenty-five cents that yo# ever saw
before. I reckon he is a yankee, but he
has been there long enough to become a
good Southern man, and I suppose a
Democrat. Anyhow, ho is a good, clever
man. W. F. L.

AN INTERESTING LETTER FROM AU?
GUSTA, OA.
Augusta, September 10, 1891.
Editors Intelligencer: Of course
all Carolina is interested iu the doings
and happenings of Augusta. I therefore
make no apology for inflicting on your
readers an every-day news letter from
this piace. Our interests are mutual and
so closely allied aro the two States that
whatever is of benefit to one, carries with
it a corresponding benefit to the other,
and vice versa, whatever works an injury
to one, is mighty apt to bruise tho corns
of the other.
Since that older day when our fathers
met and bartered hero on the banks of
tho Savannah, or through the period
when tho annual fall trips was taken by
wagon from Anderson to the cotton fac?
tory at Augusta, up to the time when
steel rails bound the two places moro
closely together, when tho A. & K. and
the Savannah Valley Roads wero com?
pleted, tho peoplo of Anderson and Au?
gusta have boon firm friends and staunch
allies, and the big banquet givcu in tho
I Planter's Hotel soveral years ago, bore
testimony to the sincerity of tho newly
cemented friendship which had been the
moro firmly bound by iron rails and
cross ties. Thero are many who still re?
member that evening, when tho entire
Savannah Valley united with us and
spent a timo of jollification and practical
interchange of business ideas, and the
feast of reason and the flow of soul of that
occasion is even now a source of pleasant
remembrance to us all.
a more enduring tie.
Augusta now invites her Carolina
cousins to the formation of a more
enduring tie, and to an occasion which
will frnctify more material advantages,
and moral and financial development,
than could a dozen banquets, be they
ever so pleasant and replete iu joy. I
allude to the coming November Exposi?
tion which we are going to hold here, of
which South Carolina is an integral part,
and to which your State is most cordially
invited, that you may participate in the
pleasures, partake of the instructions
and share in the profits of tho greatest,
most varied and by long odds, most I
complete thing of tho kind yet convened
in the South. And right hero I would
suggest, that a most delightful ard profit?
able manner of attending an Exposition,
is in a body, as a County. Let Auderson
gather her beautiful resources together,
get specimens of the farm, the loom, the
mines and the forests, and come to us with
a magnificent County Exhibit, which will
cause the outside world to open their
eyes in amazement. Advices assure us
that the largest display of machinery and
other industrial features will be brought
from the North, East and West, which
has ever been collected under cover.
Necessarily an immenso crowd of people
from those sections will be on hand in
their own interests and for sigh t seeing.
It will therefore be the chance of a life
time to advertise your marvellous possi?
bilities to this great concourse. By a
County Exhibit, you place before them
an object lesson which they cannot forget*
and in illustration of your argument,
you give them tangible facts to go on,
and not fine spun sophistical theories to
dream about. You place in their hands
a specimen from tho farm, and say not
only "we can do this," but you nay, "we
do do it, and here is the evidence that we
do." You place under their eyo a sam?
ple from the quarry, the phosphate bed
or the forest and tell them not only that
"our country can furnish these things,"
you tell them that it "does furnish them,
and here the}' are." What a magnificent
opportunity for Anderson to show a curi?
ous world those magnificent actualities."
carolina day.
Thanksgiving Day has been sei; apart as
peculiarly Carolina Day, and your Gover?
nor, with his brilliant staff and tho joint
legislature, which does not sit on that
day, will attend the Exposition in a body.
The world jamous Fusileers and other
noted Carolina Military organizations will
be hero to take part in tho pageant of
soldiery, the-competitive drill and tho
sham battle. The Augusta grounds are
peculiarly adapted to this class of exer?
cise, being large, spacious and of a gentle
level, beautifully surrounded with stands
and spaces for spectators. Lieutenant
Sotherlu, of the U. S. A,, who won such
encomiums, and made so many friends
at the Georgia military encampment at
Chickamauga, will be one of the Judges,
and everything on this line promises to
be of exceptional elegance and eclat.
some of the exhibits.
I hare had the privilege of peeping over
Manager Henry's shoulder and have
caught a glimpse of some of the notable
features which will make the Exposition
of 1391 a most memorable one, and seri?
ously speaking it will be a gorgeous, va?
ried and most complete display. The
system of Corliss engines, three in num?
ber, aggregating 450 horso power, will be
the finest in the world, and will operate
every piece of the multifarious of me?
chanical contrivauce in Machinery Hall.
This machinery will consist of almost
every device which the human mind is
capable of inventing for the use of mau
In the manufacturing and industrial pur?
suits of tho age. One of these will be a
complete shoe factory in operation,
which the Goodyear Company, of Boston
enters. This aggregation of mechanisms
consist of a number of machines for the
soveral parts of the shoe, such as cutter,
binder, counter maker, machines for the
soles, heels, rubbers, tips, buttons, but?
ton holes, lace stringers, and so on, em?
bracing every part of foot-wear and all of
them operated at once and in perfect con?
cert. You give your measure, the leather
is put into the machines, and lo! while
you wait, it rolls out at the other end, a
finished shoe ready to be woru. This
machine makes every grade of shoe, from
the common every day brogan to "my
lady's" Cinderilla-like whito kid ball
slippers. It is a marvellous arrangement
and of itself is worth the time and money
of a visit to the Exposition.
cotton harvester.
Probably the most important piece of
mechanism to the people of South Caro?
lina, and in fact to all the Cotton States,
is tho Cotton Harvester, or machine for
picking cotton. This is a wonderful la?
bor saving concern, and as I see the cot-/
ton pickers aro beginning to tako to
"strikes" and that sort of thing, will
prove of incalculable service in tho fu?
ture. Manager Henry has a splendid
patch of soveral acres at the grounds on
which to give this Harvester a practical

peculiar utility js tho lire hoso and appa?
ratus, with which thp entire building will
bo tilled up. The Horticultural Exhibits
will bo grand. Mr. Berckman, the well
known horticulturist, who has probably
done more for the South in this lino than
all other men combined, will have a su?

HOW TO MAKE YOUR
sides hau longe
NEVER try to wear a Shoe too ntnall, or that is not the shape of the foot.
Never let your Shoe get hard or dry.
Don't let it run down at the heel or tide.
A Shoe repaired in time will retain its shape and comfort, and it is true
economy.
Never put wet Shoes by the fire to dry, but dry them gradually and carefully.
Never dry a wet Shoe without first applying some oil and grease.
Don't allow a thick crust of blacking on your Shoes. Wash it off occasionally
and apply a little castor oil; you can polish it over in an hour or two.
We now have a complete line of the Celebrated Hamilton & Brcwn Shoe Co's.
goods in stock, and it is a duty you owe to yourself to give these goods a trial.
Our Ladies' ?2.60 Dongola and Goat Button Shoe?made on Opera, Half Ope?
ra, and Common Sense lasts?we believe stands without a rival.
Our Gents' $2.50 Calf, Button, Ball's and Congress?mado on London i,nd
French toed lasts?will simply astonish you, to see how the Shoe could be gotten op
for that money.
We have the Largest and Most Complete Line of Shoes
in the State,
And considering the CLOSE PRICES at which we buy, and SMALL MARGIN
at which we sell, we can safely say you will lose 15 to 25 per cent in buying else?
where.
Very respectfully,
R, S. HILL; Manager,
S.o. 10 S. Main Street.
