LANQSTON, j Pbopbibtobs, THTJB8DAY, NOV. 19, 1?91. terms : ONE YEAR.?. |1 50 SIX MONTHS-. 75 -Democratic success in New York, Iowa aad Massachusetts practically settles the j presidential question for the Democracy next year.. McKinley's success'in Ohio in a measure shelves Blaine and McKin? ley, as the Republican party cannot make a fight on the McKinley theory of protec ~ ?ou with McKinley. Neither can it make the campaign with Blaine and re? ciprocity. Its one hope is Harrison. The Australian ballot, provided for in Mississippi's new constitution, was tried for tho first time in the recent election, and was found to be all that its advocates claimed. There was nothing for the healers or bummers to do. Their occu? pation in Mississippi is gone, and with it went the noise and confusion heretofore - Incident to elections in that State. The 'State went overwhelmingly Democratic, /which secures the return to the United States Senate of Senators George and Walthall, both able and reliable .men. - The Alliance did not make the semblance ' of a fight, having been badly downed in the Democratic legislative primaries. The Executive Committee of the South . Carolina Press Association met in Colu m - ? bia on the 11th inst. The following sub? jects were arranged for discussion at the meeting of the Association, whioh will be " held in Anderson in May next: Country journalism, Col. T. B. Crews, of the Lau renav?le Herald; foreign advertisements, H. B. Anil, Newbsrry Herald and Ne wa; ' how to conduc, a newspaper controversy, H. M. Ayer, of the Florence Times; the relation of country newspapers to the v dailias, J. C. Hemphill, of the News and Courier; modern mechanical inventions . and improvement in the daily newspaper office, John F. Reynolds, of the Columbia /State';' the country editor as a journalist and printer, Hugh Wilson, of the Abbe '?: ville Press and Ban ner. That was a broad and patriotic stand taken by the Convention, called by Gov. TiTillman, on last Thursday, to consider ?% th?- propriety ? and wisdom of having South Carolina creditably represented at )he mammoth World's Fair in Chicago in 1?93.' Many of South. Carolina's dis? tinguished sons were present, and as might have been expected, they were so? licitous in having- their State's resources exhibited at the Fair on a scale that will -; do honor to our State and people. Gov. TUlm&n was made chairman of the meet? ing, and said in the course of his re? marks to the Convention: "Ifeel satisfied - that every intelligent thinking man who I give, the matter a moment's thought /must^alize that South Carolina cannot : -afford taleWipJhis golden opportunity of endeavoring to attract to ns that /which we need more than anything else, ?V? good class of white immigrants." On motion of Senator Butler, the Chairman appointed a committee of five to memo rialize the Leghdacure of the State to ' ; make a proper representation of the State ? at the Fair and to raise a supplemental /fond for the object in view. AlsOj that the - Oomralttee ask the Legislature to ap? point a World's Fair Commission, to con? sist oi' one member from each Congres? sional District and two members from the "?'?State/at large, which shall be charged with the superintendence of the farther details of the proposed representation. Senator Butler, J. A. Enslow, of Charles? ton, W; M? Rogers, of Greenville, and Cols. E. M. Ruoker and D. K. Norris, of! Andeirson, were appointed to act on the Committee. Besides tbefund which it is, hoped the Legislature will appropriate Xot this, representation, a -popular sub? scription will be Btarted, to-which Boards of Trade, Societies arid individuals will L huasked to subscribe, and we feel sure so - patrio tic a purpose will meet with a gen erous response from the citizens in every ? section of the State. Over twenty Coun? ties were represented at the Convention. ? Anderson was represented by Cols. D. K..Norris and E. M. Rucker and Messrs. :: W. A. Neal. and J.. P. Smith. It is the -?eaxze&l hope ot this paper that South Carolina may stand abreast of any State . 'at the World's Fair in '93. ? BIG LOS? IN A HABD YEAR After the battle is fought and victory won or lost, it is always interesting to \ determine at what cost to the opponents the struggle was made. Governor Till man has grappled with the "Coosaw oc? topus," as he declared in his campaign he -would rto? has come off victor, andhbw .it.i? of interest! to; the taxpapers of the - State to learn what the Governor has made or lost them' by the encounter. Phosphate Inspector Jones has made his annual report, and from it the Green - 'ville News gathers. the information we desire, comparing the royalties on rock '. received by the State for tho year ending '^Ssptember, 1891,.with the year ending September, 1890. -In the year ending September, 1890, the Coosaw Company mined 107,258.52 tons of rook, representing the same num? ber, of dollars in royalties, which was paid into the State treasury. In the year ending September, 1891, the same Com? pany mined only 42,144.66 tons, work . having been stopped by the litigation in ?y.vplyed'in throttling the "octopus." The difference between;$107,258.52 and $42, ?; 04.68 Represents the difference between r iho State's income from this company for ^ithe.two years??65;113,86. The total de? ' crease from the previous year in royalties from all other companies is $2,999.52, 'making a grand total of $68,113.23 de - crease of royalties since Governor Till raan commenced action against the Coo? saw Company. Of course the rock Is still under the river and. may be dug at some future day, ? but the fact remains that there is $68,113. 38 less in.the State treasury from royal >tiee now than last year, and that over 1700 ^ bales of cotton, at $40 a bale, would be needed to make good this difference. The . year 1891 finds taxes harder to pay than for many a year before. ~ Since the Coosaw Company has been displaced, some of the smaller Companies have decreased their output, thereby hoping to force up the price of fertilizers. Should tbey-succeed, of course tho con? sumers will have to pay the increased price. Now that the* State has recovered the : Coosaw territory, suppose some Company "ahpuld agree to pay a royalty of ?2 a ton 'formerly the royalty was $1 a ton?and ?ld work the old. Coosaw territory. bmpany pay the extra dollar Royalty out of its profits, or would it increase' the price of the rock, by that amount, thereby forcing the consumers to 'ihe.increased royalty ? ' btless the Coosaw Company had a thing under its old lease, but the had a good thing, too, for this Corn paid her over ?100,000 in royalties jbr the year ending September, 1890. Did. Goveprfor Tillman act wisely in forcing t)re fight ? We are willing for ?very man to judge for himself, with the above before him. oung.lady of Memphis, Tonn., say on "the model husband." ;ht her a prize of 920 and a in the shape of a rich and oang banker, of Minneapolis* j may now look for more essays q subject, The Southern Harvester Cotton Picker, Atlanta Constitution, Nov. 7. Yestorday was.au unusually interesting day at the exposition. There were many things to attract the peoplo and interest thTn. Probably that which drew the lar? gest crowd daring the whole day was tho exhibition given by the Southern Har? vester Company of their cotton picker in a field in the northern part of tho exposi? tion grounds. Tho~crowd that gathered about the machine just prior to the timo when the exhibition was to be given was large, and in it there were mauy mechan? ical experts and cotton growers irom dif? ferent parts of the South. Tho exhibition was given on a rough piece of ground, very unfavorable for a successful: test. However, the cotton picking was done so perfectly that every? body was surprised and were loud in their praise of what promises to bring about a revolution in the cotton industry, not only in the Southern States of Ameri? ca, but throughout the civilized world. The best evidence that the picker is asuc cess is the practical demonstration before your eyes of picking the cotton and depos? iting it in bags. When you see it with your eyes, as was done yesterday, you must believe it whether you want to or not. The best way to explain what tho pick? er can do is to let experts tell it. Mr. Diamond, one of the most competent mechanical experts in New England, af? ter seeing the exhibition yesterday, said: "I am satisfied that the picker is a suc? cess. I know it will pick the cotton, be? cause I have seen it do so more than half a dozen times. Improvements have been made in it, and each change has rendered the machine nearer perfect. There are only two or three defects of a minor char? acter and they can be easily remedied. It is granted by all, I believe, that the ma? chine picks the cotton, and that is the problem to be solved?the saving of it is a very easy thing. Yes it is a success and a erbat big success at that." .The testimony of Mr. Diamond de servos careful consideration for the reason that he has studied cotton picking for several months and is familiar with the Slan of many of the machines coming efore the public, prior to this one. Mr. W. S. Van Winkle, whom the Constitution interviewed some weeks ago relative to the success of the Southern Harvester cotton picker, witnessed the exhibition yesterday. He endorsed tho plan and says: "From the first time I saw the Southern Harvester cotton picker, I was convincod that it was a success. I do not mean to say that the machine did its work per? fectly the first time I saw it, but that the plan and design was one which when perfected would do the work for which it was intended. Several improvements have been made in it the past month, and the exhibition given to-day at the exposi? tion, shows that the picker is practically a success, and will pick the cotton. It is true, as explained by President Blum, that not more than one-fourth of the wire brushes were suitable for action in to? day's exhibition. ' This trouble can easily be overcome. Tn fact, as many brushes as may be'ne,-.ed can be conveniently, placed on the machine, thus enabling it to pick the thickest cotton with perfect ease. The brushes as now placed have bat one motion, bat if given four differ? ent motions, which can be easily done,, every boll can be taken from the stalk. Some of the cotton I saw after beiDg pick? ed fell on the ground, bat if the underly? ing platform is extended about two feet and a meshed wire screen is pat in the rear, all the cotton can be saved. I have great hopes of the future of the picker, and by another season it will be so per? fected as to be ready for the market. At least that is our intention." Mr. Van Winkle, as everybody knows, is a mechanical expert, and his judgment in the matter is worth probably as much as that of any other man's in the United States. Mr. L. R. Turner, ot Sing Sing, N. Y., who is also familiar, with every part of mechanics, is stopping with Mr. Van Winkle, superintending the construction of some cotton machinery for a few New England mills. He also saw the exhibi? tion at the exposition grounds, and said: . "The principle upon which the South? ern Harvester cotton picker is built is a perfect one, and I rejoiced to find that one bad at last come to the front promising rich results. The test to-day shows not a perfect machine, but one, with a few slight improvements, that will do the work required. The great difficulty heretofore has been to devise a plan that will successfully take the cotton from the boll. That has been accomplished in this machine, as proven by to-day's exhibi? tion, and the picker, as I anaerstand it, has a great future. Next year, when all of its defects will have been remedied, doubtless thousands of the machines will be sold, and a large per cent, of the cotton will be.picked by them. The opinions of these gentlemen speak for themselves, and, as the parties are acknowledged experts in the mechanical line, it is presumed they know what they are saying. The farmers and cotton growers all over the South are anxiously waiting for these machines, and it is thought that next year their ? hopes and dreams may be realized, and 1 where only 100 pounds of cotton is pick? ed to-day by one man, 5,000 can be gath , ered with the use of the picker. It is to be regretted that President Blum did not compete for the gold medal at the exposi? tion. He says, however, that he was not here for the purpose of showing off his machine, but of testing it and letting the people see just what be had and what he will be able to furnish them next year. Mr. D. M. Bell, a merchant and large cotton grower of Pat ill o, Ga., saw tho machine work and thinks it will eventually solve the labor problem in the South. "It is a sncces," said he, "and I rejoice to carry the news to my brother farmers. Why, it picks the cotton so nicely, and there is bo little trash in it." Senator Irby Talks. Laurens, S. C, Nov. 12.?I had a talk with Senator J. L. M. Irby this morning and he talked vary freely of the many subjects that are interesting our people now. When asked who he thought the Democrats would nominate for President next year Senator Irby said: "There is not one of the Democratic candidates more objectionable to the Far? mers' Alliance than Cleveland on account of bis views on the silver question, and I. am confident that he will be nominated, and when be is I believe the alliancemon of South Carolina will fall in tu line and support him almost to a man. There may be a few like Keitt who will not vote for him, bntthey will never amount to mach. "The Farmers' Alliancemen of this State are Democrats and they may be re? lied upon to vote forthe Democratic nom nee, if it is the devil. "Tbey believe in the oub-treasury and will do all they can to have it embodied in the platform of the National Democracy, but if it is not that will not affect their support of the nominees." When asked by a bystander, an enthu? siastic Tillmanite, whether those who supported Haskell last year would be al? lowed to vote in the primaries next year, Senator Irby said that being Chairman of the State Executive Committee he must decline to express an opinion on that question "at this time." He said that those who voted for Haskell last year were "disorganized Democrats," and at the next meeting of the Executive Com? mittee, which he would call about Janua? ry 1st, they would decide whether such "disorganized Democrats" were included in the definition "all known Democrats" laid down by the constitution of the Democratic party of South Carolina. Senator Irby said when asked about the outlook in State politics next year, that Tillman had made an excellent governor and was entitled to a re-election and that it did not appear that he would havo any trouble in getting it. Referring back to the celebrated "March Convention," Senator Irby said it was absolutely essential to Tillman's election and that Tillman would never havo made the race without that nomina? tion, for, if he had, it would have justi? fied all those accusations that ho only "wanted office." Senator Irby said most emphatically that ho did not believo that the farmers of South Carolina endorsed in tho least the talk of bolting and third party so free? ly indulged in by Polk .:nd Keitl.?Cor? respondence Oreenviile Neivs. ? In Russian-Turkestan, on the right bank of the Amoa Daria, in some rocky j hills near the Bokbaran town of Karki, a number of large caves have been ex? plored, which were found to lead to an underground town built apparently be? fore the Christian era. Effigies and in? scriptions have been found, and also de? signs upon gold and silver monoy which lead to the belief that the town dates back to some two centuries before the birth of Christ. There are a number of streets and squares surrounded by houses two and three stories high. Urns, vases, cooking pots, and other utensils have been found in great abundance. The symmetry of tho streets and squares, and the beauty of the baked clay and metal utensils attest the fact that thepeople had reached an advanced stage of civilization. It is supposed the town was concealed in the enrtb to give the population a refuge from the incursions of savages and rob ricking Cotton by Machinery. Augusta, November 12.?The Mason cotton harvester, which has been anxious? ly looked for here for several days, arriv? ed here to-day and was oxhibited in ope? ration in a held of cotton in tho Exposi? tion grounds this afternoon, in the'pres? ence of a large crowd of interested spec? tators. The machine gathered ab tho rato of 300 pounds an hour, or 3,000 pounds for an ordinary working day. The bushes have been killed by frost and the cotton has been open in the bolls about two months, but despite those drawbacks the cotton which was picked was ginned without being passed through a cleaner, and pro? duced, a good, clean sample. Mr. Patrick Walsh, the President of the Exposition and tho editor of the Augusta Chronicle, was present during tho trial of the machinery and said: "I consider it a m'-st wonderful machine. It picks tho cotton under most adverse circumstances without injuring the plants and unripo bolls and it gathers enough to mako it an implement of great value." The machine will be exhibited again to-morrow and will probably remain horo until the Exposition closes. Smallpox in Georgia, Washington, November 15.?surgeon General Wyman, of the marine hospital service to-day received a letter from the Governor of Georgia calling attention to an epidemic of smallpox at Harris Neck, Libetty Count3r, Ga., and requesting that the marine hoRpital service take charge of the epidemic, as thero is no organized board of health in that county, and Har? ris Neck is remote from the county seat or any town. Tho country thero is popu? lated chiefly by negroes. The surgeon general has sent telegraph? ic orders to the surgeon in charge of the Quarantine station at Blackbeard Island, fteen miles from Harris Neck, to visit tho infected district and begin measures at once to stamp out the disease. A large number of vaccine point) has bcon forwarded. Fuller particulars are ex? pected as soon as the surgeon has roached the infected locality and thoroughly ex? amined into the cause and extent of the disease. ?
