Tho Executive Committee of tbo State
Democracy, of which J. L. M. Irby is
Chairman, met in Columbia on Tuesday
night of last week.
The complection of this Commitee is
strongly "reform,-' and there has been
some speculation as to what action the
body would adopt in reference to the
"break" made by the "strayed outs,"
who, it will bo remembered, voted for
Judge Haskell year before last in prefer?
ence to Capt. Tillman.
Tho first hours of the meeting were
uneventful, but when the timo came to
detormino tho party standing of tue
Judge Haskell party there occurred con?
siderable speech-making, .exhibiting va?
rious sentiments and feelings, as rccon
ciliatory and unfriendly, harmonious and
bitter.
Resolutions that all "white Democrats"
might be received into tho Democratic
fold, who would take an oath that "he is
a Democrat and will support the nomi?
nees of tho Democratic party," and "re?
quiring all candidates to abide by the
Democratic primaries," were passed, with
tho following amendment:
"It is the sense of this Committee that
in the interest of peaco and a united De?
mocracy no Democrat shall be excluded
from participation in said primary be?
cause of differences during tho last, elec?
tion."
The resolutions and amendment are
said to have been dictated by Chairman
Irby. The amendment seems to have
been the point on which greaf ^st opposi?
tion arose, Col. John C. Haskell declar?
ing that "it simply means, when boiled
down, that these men ["straight-outs"]
are not to be punished for their wrong?
doings, if there were any such."
The action of tho Committee in re?
quiring the taking of the oath above was
not unreasonable. We conmss we do not
fancy the idea of having a test oath forced
on a man before he.can become a Demo?
crat, for the very foundation of freedom
lies in a man's untrammeled right to
vote or not to vote a3 he pleases or as
conscience dictates, and wo are not sur?
prised that when this right is interfered
with there should develop opposition to
it. Howover, tbo majority of the Com?
mittee were supporters of Tillman, whom
they believed, we suppose, was the regu?
lar Democratic nominee. They thought
Judge Haskell and his supporters were
bolters from the regular ticket, and
hence to provide against such action in
the future they have prescribed the oath
above. The chances are the Haskellitus
would have acted as did the Tillmanites
under like conditions.
The unwisdom of requiring this oath
will be apparent in a year or two, and
before long the Executive Committee
will revoke that clause. It is important
now that the white people of the State
get together again and stay together.
The Greenville News is not "quixotic"
when it warns of the dangers of a split
among the whites and consequent negro
supremacy. Under the system of Demo?
cratic primaries that will prevail for the
coming election it need cot be dangerous
nor humiliating for all white Democrats
to take tho oath as prescribed, which
must he taken by TiMmanites as well, as
by Haskellites.
The action of the Committee was wise
in their opinion, no doubt, and it is the
part of wisdom that all white men who
des;re to prevent a split in the Demo?
cratic party submit to the actio of the
Committee. Within tho party let all
fights be made and all differences settled,
and let us remain a united people in a
"solid South."
Senator Daniel B. Hill, of New York,
presented himself at the bar of the U. S.
Senate on Thursday of last week and was
sjivorn in as a member of that body. Mr.
?Hill enjoys .the distinction of having
been Governor of New York;and a Sena?
tor from Now York at the same time.
Hill is a brainy man, and we are not sur?
prised that he has Presidential aspira?
tions.

Memphis, Tenn., January 9.?The con?
vention of cotton growers after a recess
last evening listened to tbo following
report from the committeo on resolu?
tions :
"First?We recommend that this Con?
vention do proceed to organize a perma?
nent organization to bo known as "The
Cotton Growers' and Merchants' Associa?
tion."
"Second?Wo recommend that said
organization shall consist of ono presi?
dent, a treasurer and ono vice-president
from each of the twelve cotton-growing
States.
"Third?We recommend that there be
local organizations of said Cotton Grow?
ers' and Merchants' Association, organiz?
ed in over}* State, County and town in the
cotton growing region, a'nd that said local
organizations shall where possible and
practicable, co-operate with any farmers'
organization now in existence.
"Fourth?Wo recommend that the acre?
age planted in cotton for tho year 1s92 be
twenty per cent, less than that planted in
1891.
"Fifth?Wo further recommend that
each and every farmor or plantrr within
said cotton growing States do plant more
diversified crops and especially take ex?
traordinary precautions to tho end that
they shall produco an abundance of corn,
peas, hay, oats and such other necessaries
for his own and his family's supplies and
we here appeal personally and individual?
ly that each and every person favoring
this movement do send his aid and influ?
ence to further this end.
"Sixth?In view of tho fact that the
mercantile interest of the South is large?
ly hold responsible, whether rightfully or
not, for the planting of cotton verging
upon the exclusion of other products, it
is suggested and hopefully urged upon
them to contribute by their advice and in
other substantial ways to bringing about
this coveted reform in our farming meth?
ods.
"Seventh?We recommend that a com?
mittee of five be appointed by the presi?
dent, Whoso duty it shall be to draft such
a Constitution and by-laws as are neces?
sary to carry into effect the objects of this
organization.
'?Eighth-We recommend thateach mem?
ber and delegate to this Convention usb
their united efforts to carry into effect
these resolutions and that thoy urgo their
people at home to strive for the general
good, carrying out the spirit and purpose
of the same.
"Ninth?We further recommend that
tbe address delivered by Col. d. G. God?
win be received and endorsed by this as?
sociation and that the same bo published
with the proceedings."
As soon as tho reading of the resolutions
had been finished a half dozen gentlemen
rose to their feet and pandemonium
reigned. After a vigorous use of the ga?
vel, however, the Chairman recognized
Mr. Lane, of Mississippi, who moyed that
the resolutions be adopted. The motion
prevailed, after which the resolutions
wore taken up for discussion seriatim.
After a long discussion, participated in by
ail the leading spirits of tho convention,
on section four of the resolutions, they
were finally adopted.
At 11.30 o'clock the convention adjourn?
ed sine die, and proceeded in a body to
the office of the Memphis Appeal-Ava?

tained.
Two Hundred Men Killed.
McAllister, Indian Territory,
Jan.. 8.?An appalling disaster occurred
at 5 o'clock last evening, at mine No. 11,
owned by the Osage Coal and Mining
company, at Krebs, 4J miles east of here,
in wnich 200 men were killed and many
mor j wounded. At the time of the ex?
plosion there were 830 men In tbe shaft,
most of whom were waiting for the cage
to take them out. The foot of the shaft
is one mass of dead bodies. Eighty-five
men came out by an old entry and forty
two were saved by the shaft, most of
whom are more or less burned or bruis?
ed.
The day men had just changed off and
reached the surface, when a puff of
smoke was seen to issue from tbe mouth
oftheshaft. Immediately after this a
terrific report followed, which could be
heard for some distance in the surround*
ing country. The men who were around
the mouth of tho shaft knew instinctively
what it meant, and at once sounded an
alarm.
A throng soon gathered, but there was
nothing they could do to rescue the un?
fortunates.
The mouth of tho pit is surrounded by
a crowd of men, women and children,
nearly all of whom have relatives in the
mine. Their grief is pitiable, and their
6rayers and cries are agonizing as they
eseechthe rescuing party to increase
their efforts to save their loved ones.
It is believed that tho explosion was
caused by firing a shot when tho mine
was partially filled with gas.
A dispatch dated 9 o'clock this morn?
ing, says that 143 miners had been res?
cued. The men were greatly exhausted,
and some-of them were unconscious,, but
revived soon after roaching fresh, air.
A later dispatch received at the office
of the Osage Mining company in St.
Louis, says that a hastily constructed
cage had been placed in operation, and
the work of rescuing tho entombed
miners is being expedited as rapidly as
circumstances will permit. The crowd
about the mouth of the pit has increased
to over 1,000 people. As most of the
miners are Swedes, Norwegians and
Italians, the mine officials have great
difficulty in preserving order and keep?
ing them at such a distance as will allow
the men to run the cage without interrup?
tion.

The Mason Cotlon Harvester,
The following certificate- which has been
given the Mason Cotton Harvester Com?
pany by the Hon. Patrick Walsh, Presi?
dent of the Augusta Exposition, is a
gratifying endorsement of the practical
usefulness of their machine for picking
cotton, which will be manufactured and
placed on tho market during the coming
season;
AugustA, Ga., December 10,1S0J.
Tho Mason Cotton Harvesting Machine
was operated in a field of cotton in tho
Augusta Exposition grounds November
12 and 13, 18$?1, and I am informed gath?
ered tho cotton from tho stalks at the rate
of 300 pounds an hour, or 3,000 pounds
per working day often hours. Tho cotton
harvested was fairly free from trash, was
ginned without cleaning, and produced
lint which was classed as middling cotton.
Whilo tho machine does not gather, at
one passage, all tho open cotton, it leaves
the plants and unopen bolls uninjured.
The essential feature of tho machine is
contained in the picking fingers, which
are so construct: d that they discriminate
between tne open cotton and tbo unopen
bolls and foliago of the plant, thus afford?
ing the opportunity of gathering the cot?
ton by machinery from the time it first
opens to the end of the season.
Tho machine as at present constructed
is not beyond improvement, but its dis?
criminating principle is both ingenious
and practical, and its capacity for work is
sufficient to render it a valuable auxillia
ry to the slow and oxponsivo process of
hand-picking.

White Women Slaves.
Seattle, Wash., January G.?The in?
vestigations, which have shown the exis?
tence of slavery among the Japanese in
Victoria, have been followed with similar
results in this city. Yesterday the first
decisive step was taken to stop the im?
portation of Japanese women for immor?
al purposes. The United States authori?
ties learned that a man named Ithaki bad
gone to Yokohama about seven months
ago and purchased three Japaneso wo?
men of their parents for ?90 each. Ho
brought thom to this country, saying that
one was his wife and that the other two
were sisters. Thov w-ero used as tho ba?
sest slaves.
The facts were extorted partly from tbo
women and partly from the owner and
yesterday Ithaki was arrested. Tho Jap?
anese Consul has requested tho aid of the
Ministerial Association here in breaking
up the system of slavery. Tho Christian?
ized Japanese in Seattle say that all their
countrymen who como to the United
States as laborers are held in subjection
by a powerful secret society which, play?
ing on their superstitions, compels them
to pay tribute.
About 150 Japanese women in Seattle
have been sold outright by their parents
and brought over here by their purcha?
sers. These Japanese women live in the
part of Seattle known as White Chapel,
which everybody coming from the North?
ern Pacific Depot or the steamboat land
ing passes._
His Horse Recognized Him.
Atlanta, Ga , Jan. 8.?Mr. A. R. Hill,
a leading lawyer of Danville, 111., is in the
city on a peculiar mission. He came to
recover an old lamily horse that was
6tolen from him on December 21, 1890,
and which he has followed over one thou?
sand miles. The thief that stole the horse
carried it to Indianapolis and sold it to
some horse dealers. They sold it to some
Atlanta stock dealers who shipped it to
this city, A gentloman from Mr. Hill's
home who was visiting in the city saw the
horse and recognized it, and at once noti?
fied the owner.
Mr. Hill came to sec about the much be?
loved animal. On his arrival he was in?
formed that his iiorse was in the stables of
Hill & Walker, and that he would haye to
grove beyond a doubt tho identity of it
efore he could hove it. Wir'n some other
gentlemen Mr. Hall proceeded to the sta?
bles. When he walked into ihe stall tbe
horse neighed and pranced, and when
Mr. Hill held out hia bund the horse
licked it with seemingly as much passion
as ever one peraon kissed another.
The gentlemen presont were astounded
at the instant recognition of the master by
the faithful old family horse after a full
year's absence. The gentleman who bad
possession of tbe horee told Mr. Hill to
take it, remarking: "You need not iden?
tify tbe horse; ho has identified you. I
would bate to be a murderer and own that
horse. I might run up on him some day
and could never conceal my identity."
The horse will be shipped to Danville to?
day and Mr. Hill will follow him.
A lied-Handed Warning,
The following, dated from this city and
bearing tho stamp of "special corresoon
dence," appears in a copy of the Now
York Voice, tbe leading temperance pa?
per of the country. The copy was sent
to the governor's office, and pointing to it
is the warning forefinger of a large hand,
put on with red ink.
"The Straigbtout Democrats opposed
prohibition to a man in the recent fight
over the Childs biil in this State, while
the Tillman Democrats favored it in a
mild form, as proposed in the Timmer
man (Senate) bill. Governor Tillman
was evidently afraid to allow his admin?
istration to commit itself on the question,
and while he was said to have suggested
and commended tho Timmerman Bill,
bo is evidently pleased that nothing was
done.
"The great question now is whether
prohibition will enter politics another
year. Secretary of State Tindal, who is
known as a shrewd, far-seeing man, and
who is, as well, a prominent member of
the Alliance, expressed tho opinion the
other day that it would. It is stated that
Mr. L. D. Childs, the father of prohibition
in thisStato, will become a candidate for
Governor in the next campaign. Ho
wants the nomination of the reform, or
"Tillman" Democrats, and wants prohi?
bition incorporated in tho platform."?

An Imperial Temperance Beforiner,
The hill now pending in the German
parliament for thu repression of intempe?
rance will revive public interest in the sub?
ject throughout Europe and America.
This measure is of no common, plebian
oripin. The Emperor William is its author
and its champion. After studying the evil
effects of drunkenness in his empire, lie
has resolved, with the consent of his law?
makers, to imprison all habitual drunkards
until they are cured, and to make public
houses liable for damages when they sell
liquor to drunken men.
It is possible that the bill may not be?
come a law. The point is made that it is
impossible to justly classify drunkards,
separating the occasional from the fre?
quent, and the frequent from the habitual,
and the beery boozers from the brandy
drunkards. Still, the defeat of tho bill, or
its unsatisfactory results as a law, will not
wholly check the cause of temperance re?
form in Germany. Tho very fact that the
Emperor is known to favor extreme renio
dies for tho liquor evil will inilncnco pub?
lic opinion in lavor of temperance, and
public opinion is the supreme human law
everywhere.
But it does not follow that the Emperor
is a genuine reformer who deserves the en?
dorsement of Christian pulpits and good
people. He is determined to make his
people temperate for the same reason that
influenced Mohammed when he required
his followers to be total abstainers. Like
the prophet, William is the embodiment of
the military spirit. He knows that drunk?
enness unfits men for soldiership, and he
wants them to be soldiers or nothing.
This is why he is working so zealously for
temperance. He is not trying to make
better men, but bettor soldiers?stalwart,
disciplined fellows, who will kill or be
killed when he gives the order.
So much for his motive. It Is not a
good one, but it is in his power to set an
example that will be largely followed by
men in high places. That is the best part
of the whole business. When Emperors
and nobles favor temperance society will
favor it, and the masses will follow on the
same line. So, it is probable that some
good will come out of this crude attempt
at reform after oil.?Atlanta Constitution.
The Doctrine of Future Punishment.
One of the striking characteristics of the
liberal tendencies oftha times, in relig?
ion, is tho very general disposition, not
only to ignore, but to deny and repudi?
ate) tho idea of future punishment. It is
said that tho Scr\>tural doctrine of fu?
ture punishment is contrary to the jus?
tice of God. The advocates of this viow
have formed to themselves a certain view
of the character and attributes of God,
and they do not hesitate to declare that
the idea of future punishment is contrary
to that character; they say that God
could not and would not mako people in
order to damn them. That certainly is
not the doctrine, the Calvanistic confes?
sion of faith of our Presbyterian friends
to the contrary notwithstanding. The
doctrine is simply that God has made us
free agents and mado our happiness or
misery to depend upon our conduct,
Life and death are set before us ; if we
choose life we shall be happy; if we
choose death wo shall be unhappy?mis?
erable?and it will be our own fault.
The only real and difficult question in
this caso is, has God made us free agents
and placed our happiness or misery in
our own hands? But this question is
answered by our own consciousness. We
know that wo aro free agents, and we
know without the testimony of revela?
tion, that our Maker has placed within
us a monitor that indicates that some ac?
tions aro right and others wrong. And
we know from experience that when we
do right wo are happy; when wo do
wrong we are unhappy?miserable?ac?
cording to the degree of guilt incurred.
Wo know that when we violate our con?
scientious convictions wo do it deliber?
ately, and that wo might have done oth?
erwise. Now romorso is itself a kind of
hell, and wo bring it upon ourselves,
and there cannot bo any injustice in it
on the part of God. But it is said tho
idea of hell is contrary to the goodness
I and mercy of God. It is impossible to
suppose that so good and merciful a
Being would inllict such fearful punish?
ment upon his creatures. But this mer?
ciful Being has mado us capable ofsuf
j feting, and as a matter of fact we do suf
I fer, intensely, In this world; and we
suffer the consequences of our wicked
actions. Bishop Butler's argument from
analogy is unanswerable. The Christian
doctrine of future punishment for the in?
corrigibly wicked is in perfecr. accordance
with the dealings of Providence as mani?
fested in tho constitution and course of
nature. If it be said that the Christian
idea of punishment is disproportionod to
the sin wo see tho same apparent dispro?
portion in this world. In fact God has
I so constituted us that, sometimes, from
some slight indiscretion, some apparent?
ly small aberration from tho path of
duty, a whole life of wretchedness and
misery is entailed upon tho unhappy
victim. Wo have hells on earth, and the
same reasoning that would do away with
future punishment would, if consistent?
ly carried out, do away with the misery
and wretchednoss which constitute tho
hells of this world. But these hells exist,
exist by the permission of Almighiy
God; aud although this argument; from
analogy may not prove the fact offuturo
punishment, it is a full and conclusive
answer to the objection against tho idea
of futuro punishment founded on the
goodness and mercy of God.?Catkolic
Review.

Hatch, of Missouri, is noted as a sports?
man. He makes long and frequent hunt?

stories.
