It has been discovered that the Georgia
iOode provides that a candidate for Presi?
dential elector shall have a majority vote
i a condition of el action. It is necessary,
for the Georgia Democrats to
?oll a larger vote than the Republicans,
iolistaand ProMbitionists combined,
id there is no reason to doubt that they
do this easily. Neither Harrison
Thor Weaver will have a single elector

J Key. J. W. Crofton, a prominent colored
g?fo&e, of .Memphis, Term., publishes a
?caxd announcing he will vote for Cleve
id and take the stump for the Demo?
te ticket. His reasons are that he is
?t the Force bill and McKinley
[tariff, and also that Harrison has not oar
out a single promise that he made
fto the negroes. He says he found hun?
dreds of negroes in Tennessee, Georgia
| and Alabama who will vote forCleve
md.
It is said that Mrs. Lease, the erstwhile
I Third Party female orator from Kansas,
abandoned her pard, Gen. Weaver,
id come out for Harrison for president,
id-advises the Third Party to vote for
[ aim. This is not surprising.; she has
always/been for tho Republican Party
and Harrison and came South with the
f Third Party mask .on for no other pur?
pose than to try to break up the "Solid
jjSouth" in the interest of Harrison and
|;his robber gang.
Tuesday of next week, November 8, is
Itho general election day. Every msn
who voted in the Democratio primary
?should, as a matter of good faith, vote for
"the Cleveland electors and every other
'Democratic nominee, scratching no name
or substituting none. A vote for the
Democratio nominees is a vote for the
^Deuiocratic party. The matter has now
'gbno higher than personal considerations.
It Is a vote for or against the Democratic
? party. Vote the straight ticket.
Conversions of prominent Republicans
to Democracy are so numerous nowadays
"as scarcely to call for comment, but the
reason assiguod by Judge John P. Rea,
.ex-Commander in Chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic, for his change of
{ faith makes his case exceptionally inter?
esting. He declares that his conversion
Is due primarily to Mr. Cleveland's Pen?
sion vetoes. After an exhaustive exami?
nation of these vetoes, Judge Rea says he
was unable to find a single one that was
[rnot based upon principles of right and
^nstice^_. _ _
We suppose Weaver will get some
?Spies in this Connty next Tuesday?not
! many, surely. Can those who may cast
their votes for him tell what he repre?
sents that reasonably promises any good
pf?r our people? Does he favor a reform
'the iniquitous and oppressive tariff
j Does he disapprove of the indis
t?te distribution of the $143,000,000
uually among the pension leeches of |
North? Is he not in sympathy with
?ae spirit of the Force Bill?"black heels
OTuwhite necks?" Does the tyrannical
and thievish commander of Pnlaskl, and
his kind, deserve anything from the true
Southerner but polite indifference and
manly contempt? But why argue the
matter? Good Democrats don't need
I any logic to get them to vote forClovo
I land. Those who aro going to vote for
Weaver won't liiten to reason. Then
error la one of the head rather than of |
the heart. But they could know and do
pthlffight if they were not blinded by
their folly. The scales will some day
fall from their eyes.

As a good reason why Mr. W. W. Rus?
sell should not receive any Democratic
votes for Congress, w3 have complied
with bis request to publish his address
the voters of tho Third District. He
not the nominee of his own party, and
the Democrats of the District will vote
t Mr. A. C. Latimer, their nominee,
ere, then, will the votes come from
Mr. Russell expects to receive ? As
candidacy cannot amonnt to any
g there is no need to review his ad?
dress and point out its fallacies. We will
put &-Republican Senator on the stand
against him on the force bill question,
^and let the matter rest there. Republi?
can Postmaster Russell says the force
-bill is a "scarecrow," etc. The Republi?
can Senator in question said of it: "It is
t^4|tt most infamous measure that ever
crossed the threshold of the Senate." And
thf Senator was right
Capt. J. C. ?kribling says in tbe
columns of the Intelligencer that he
had just bought two ?10 suits of wool
clothes for his boys, and then figures as
follows: The two Bnits that come to ?20,
consumed of cotton 42 cents, wool ?2.12,
mnking ?2.54 raw material produced by
tho farmer. After deducting the usual
profits by our home merchants (no point
of objection here) there is. at least ?11.46
of tho ?17.46 that goes to tho New Eng?
bind manufacturer and jobber as tariff.
This ?11.46 was driven out of this State
by worthless high tariff cur dogs that aro
owned by Republican negroes and fed
by the Democratic white men. These
dogs drive this trade into the hands of
tho New England protectionists." We
suppose the Captain's figures are just
about right. A tariff tax of 50 or 100 per
cent, is common on many of tbe most
essential comforts of life. If wo can't
reduce the tariff taxes, the next best
thing to do is to try to got some of the
high protection. That can be done by
growing wool, on which the tariff tax is
85 per cent, ad valorem. "Sheep vs.
Dogs" is a question that will not down,
and it is a good question for constituents
to talk to legislators about, and a good
question for legislators to think about.
Any law looking to the encouragement
of the sheep industry will certainly be a
measure pro bono publica. Col. Watts
and Capt, Stribling cannot agitate this
matter too much.
? ? i
For Our Legislators.
I havo just bought two ten dollar suite
of wool clothes for my boys and "take my
pen in hand" to figure out the thing to
see who got all the money.
The two suits that come to $20.00 con?
sumed of cotton 42 cents, wool ?2.12,
making $2.54 raw material produced by
the farmer. After deducting the usual
profits by our home merchants (no point
of objection hero) there is at least $11.46
of the ?17-46 that goes to the New England
mannfactnrer and jobber as tariff. This
?11.46 was driven out of this State by
worthless high tariff cur dogs that are
owned by Republican negroes and fed by
the Democratic white men. These dogs
drive this trade into the hands of the New
England protectionists. How this thing
works is about so: A few years back, be?
fore the dogs and negroes got so thick, I
kept from ten to near two hundred head
of sheep and exobanged wool with the
woolen mills in our State, or near by fac?
tories, for jeans and cashmere oloth and
had these suits made at home. This gave
employment to more of our white boys
and girls in the factories; the tailor in
town cut the suit and some industrious
and needy white woman made this clc th?
ing, and took the money she got for this
work and gave it to the merchant at home
for something that she could not m ike
at home.
I can now count eight of my near neigh?
bors that used to keep from ten to thirty
head of sheep each and had wool to either
exchange for oloth or work up at home
and fine mutton to eat at home and to
sell, that are now, like myself, have not
one sheep to their names, in fact the bad
dogs have driven the unprotected and de?
fenceless sheep out of the country. I have
some children that never saw a sheep in
their lives, and there are thousands more
children in the State who are in the same
condition, for the dog nuisance is about
the same from one end of the State to the
other.
Now, come all ye tariff reform Legisla?
tors, and let us commence and fight the
New England protectionist, with protec?
tion for South Carolina by passing a law
to protect our poultry, partridges, aheap,
and improve our dog j, give more profita?
ble employment to our poor white chil?
dren in factories and to our industrious
white women. Enact a law of this charac?
ter and we. can keep at home $17.46 of
every ?20.00 in this line and divide the
thing among ourselves.
J. C. Stribling.
Candidate Russell's Address to tbe To
ters.
Anderson, C. H., S. C, 1882.
To the Voters of the Third Congressional
District: As a candidate seeking your
suffrage for a ceat in the 53rd Congress, I
desire to define my position on those po?
litical issnes of the day which are of
grand interest to all parties. Had I en?
tered the canvass sooner I would have
been glad to have discussed them in de
tail before yon, bnt now can make only
a brief statement of my views on the
subjects. Three of the leading questions
which are agitating the public mind
throughout the whole nation to-day are
the tariff, free coinage of silver, and the
so-called, force bill.
I am in favor of homo markets and
plenty of them, as the best and simplest
way of settling the mnoh vexed Question
of how to increase the circulating me?
dium to meet the requirements of trade.
Wo should not be paying freights both
ways on our own productions by ship?
ping raw materials, and importing the
manufactured artioles. We have the ma?
terial, tho climate, the labor?let us util?
ize them.
The silver dollar with 67 cents of sil?
ver in it meets all the demands of our
own country and her people. By having
tho Government stamp upon it, it passes
current and buys as much as a gold or a
paper dollar. But when it comes to trad?
ing with foreign countries it can only
pass as 67 cents worth of silver.- There?
fore we cannot have free and unlimited
coinage of silver again until all or a
large majority of the countries with
which we trade shall have agreed upon
what shall constitute a silver as well as a
gold dollar, thus establishing a standard
silver dollar for the world.
To offset our share of the revenue to
the general Government, given in pen?
sions, etc., I would work inoeasantly for
heavy appropriations for our rivers and
harbors, ana I would insist that the cot?
ton tax money no refnnded to our State
tobe applied to pensions of disabled
Confederate soldiers.
Of all the scarecrows that have ever
been held out to the Southern voter the
Force Bill is the greatest. Every bill that
was ever enacted oy any legislative body
in a measure is a force bill, because if
necessary, the power of the State can be
invoked to enforce the same. That troops
are to be, or can be used at the polls gen?
erally, is simply absurd, to say the least
of it. To prove the folly of such an idea
let all sensible men remember that the
United States army consists of 25,000
I men, 8,000 of whom are sailors. This
leaves 17,000 to distribute at the polls.
Supposing there are 100,000 polling pre?
cincts in the United States?of these it is
estimated that in the thirteen Sonthern
States there are about 20,000 precincts.
Thus you see we could not, even if de?
sired, have an average of one man at
each of the precincts. Tho sum and sub?
stance of the awful bill is, simply, that
the signature of a representative of tbe
United States as well as that of the Gov?
ernor shall be attached to the certificate
of election given to Congressmen. This
is right, because they are national legis?
lators, and, in all other transactions (be?
tween the State and the general govern?
ment the officials of both are required to
sign the documents.
These are in brief the views that I hold,
and if entrusted with your interests at
the national capital the people of the
Third District will never havo cause to
complain of my actions. I am a native
of this county, all my dead for genera?
tions are buried in her soil, all that is sa?
cred and dear to me is here?then why
should I be recreant to a single trnst ?
Respectfully,
W. W, Russell.
Whiskey on the Brain.
A writer in the St. Louis Globe-Demo?
crat tells the following grim story:
"I was present at the autopsy of a noted
old 'rounder' of my town a few weeks
ago," said John A. Holliday, ol Troy, if.
Y., at the Lindell, "and I was startled
and shocked at what I saw. The dead
man was about 50 years old, and had
been tbe town drunkard for forty years.
Tbe doctors bad surmised that when they
cut his head open a pronounced smell of
alcohol would issue from the skull. I
thought It only only one of those grim
sort of jokes the Aescnlapians indulged
in sometimea when they are carving a
fellow man to mincemeat in the interest
of science. But 1 soon learned that it
was no joke, for when the surgeons cut
off the man's skull tho odor of alcohol
that filled tbe room was strong enough
to siel n one. Then one of the Burgeons
struck a match and held it close to the
brain. Immediately a blue flame en?
veloped tbe entire portion of the cerebral
organ exposed, and the quivering flesh
frizzed as if on a gridiron. That experi?
ment and disclosuie set me to very seri?
ous thinking about tbe error of my ways.
7. am no temperance lecturer nor pro?
hibition politician but I must respectfully
and firmly decline your invitation to
take something. I don't want'my brain
to float around in a sea of alcohol, as did
that of tho poor old town drunkard of
Troy. There is no telling how many
other men's brains will reveal tho samo
condition if an autopsy is hold upon
them."
Tbc Election Upon Us.
From the Columbia Register, October 30.
Nine days from to-day the people of
theso United States will elect a Preaident
and South Carolina will olect almost ev?
ery officer from Coroner to Governor.
Notwithstanding this fact there is a lack
of enthusiasm?almost a lack of interest
in Columbia. The politicians are liberal
with their estimates but show little de?
sire to place money on the result.
Senator Irby reached tho city yester?
day afternoon. He was seen by a repor?
ter and asked t-i give an expression of his
views upon the political condition of the
State.
"I think," he said, "that South Caro?
lina will go overwhelmingly for Cleve?
land. I have written the Democratic
county chairmen, and received replies
from every county except York, Chester
and Greenville. With the single excep?
tion of Sumter, where the county chair?
man says tho Republicans will get a ma?
jority for their Presidential electoral and
Congressional candidate, tbe reports are
all the same and indicate Democratic su?
premacy."
"What do you think will be the vote
polled by tho third party?"
"Well, we have 102,000 white voters in
the State. In the late Democratic pri?
mary election 88,000 voted. The third
party may account for the remaining
16,000 voters. Even this, however, I do
not admit. I really do not believe there
will be 6,000 third party votes cast in tho
State. Tho only reports I have received
that indicate any vote for that party is in
Pickens, Ocqnee and a part of Anderson.
In the other counties thoy do not include
one out of twenty voters. In Aiken the
county chairman says that if thero is any
third party supporters in tho county he
has not heard of tbem."
"Will any of the farmers who voted in
the recent primaries vote for Weaver ?"
"No. It is an insult for any one to say so.
They know that the oath binds them as
much to sustain the national as the State
nominees.
"Since 18761 have never known farm?
ers to prove disloyal to the party. They
were openly indignant at the town peo?
ple voting against Till man for Haskoll in
1890. Surely now they would not com?
mit a greater crime by foreswearing
themselves and 'ronigging' on the Dem?
ocratic nominoes. The leader of the
third party in this State honestly ab?
stained from voting because be intended
voting for General Weaver. He no.v
would not be so unfair as to ask a man
who did participate in tho primary to
vote for the third party nominees.
. "The friends of Governor Tillman who
have stood by him in two elections could
not afford to vote for a third party can?
didate in this election because it would
justify the bolt against the regu?
lar Democracy in 1890 in favor
of Judge Haskell. Tbe men who sus?
tained Has kell in 1890 were un?
der no oath to vote the Democratic tick?
et.'"
The Senator was informed that the
Statt had inquired very anxiously on
several occasions what disposition
he had made of the party funds.
"When I was elected State chairman,"
he said, "there was about ?2,000 in the
treasury. There is now nearly ?3.000,
and sixteen counties are yet to hear
from. In addition to this," be said with
a twinkle in his eye, "I have whipped an
Independent State ticket, and am now
prepared to olean up the Republican and
third parties."
Senator Irby will remain in Columbia
until Tuesday.
He will open regular headquarters
hers for the party on election day, to
look after the interest of the party.
A reporter called upon Republican
State ChairmanW ebster in his office in
in the postoffice building. Mr. Webster
hasjuBt returned from the North where
he interviewed the leaders and canvassed
the Bitnation.
"How is the election going ?" he was
asked.
"There is in my mind," he replied,
"not the slightest doubt Of Harrison's
election. Thero is going to be a sweep?
ing Republican victory all over the coun?
try on November 6, I have some doubt
of New York, but am far from conced?
ing it to the Democrats. We have Indi?
ana overwhelmingly; we will carry Con?
necticut ; Rhode Island will go with us
and we will carry West Virginia. The
West is solid, and the "doubtful" New
England States are all in our column.
The Democrats will carry North Caro?
lina, and neither tbe Third and Re?
publican parties have any show there."
"How about South Carolina ?"
. Mr.' Webster said that they were mak?
ing a quiet contest. He saw no hopes for
a material vote for the Third Party. He
said the "local differences in the Republi?
can party in this State bad all been heal?
ed and that the reformers had como into
the fold and henceforth could constitute
no separate faotion."
"Is the statement, published in a local
paper, that the Republican party has
made overtures to the third party true ?"
he was asked.
"No," he replied. "It is utterly with?
out truth. Neither I nor any Republi?
can in a position to make such a propo?
sition have ever mentioned the matter.
In fact, it has never occurred to ns. It i 3
not only untrue, but impossible and
impracticable. The tickets have all been
sent out, and even did we desire to make
any such proposition any reasonable
man can readily see that it would
be impossible to carry it out in ten
days.
"Such a combination would injure tho
Republican and Third parties alike, and
neither could aiford to make any such
trade. You can rest assured that both
parties will fight their own battles."
Mr. Bowden was not in tho city yester?
day, and could not be seen. Ho would
undoubtedly deny the report.
Senator Irby says that ho considers
such a combination impracticable.
All the tickets of tho Democratic. Re?
publican and Third Parties have been
sent'to the various Counties. They are
almost entirely similar, and contain no
distinctive marks other than tho names
of the candidates.
About a month ago Senator Irby sub?
mitted the matter to Attorney General
McLaurin and asked that official to adopt
a legal ticket. He decided that the form
should be the words, "Presidential Elec-'
tors," followed by the names of the can?
didates.
Senator Irby had the Democratic tick?
ets printed according to these instruc?
tions, and the Third and Republican
parties evidently "caught on" to the de?
cision and acted thereby, The Demo?
cratic and Third party tickets have the
I words, "Presidential Electors" -.n italics,
j exactly similar, and tho Republican
J ticket have them in type very little heav
1 ier.
Senator Irby aays that he does not
think there will be any material dan?
ger of confusion from this similarity.
Don't Be In a Hurry to Sell,
New YorKj October 29.?Riordan &
Co. in their circular to-day say : "The
developments of the week have been
distinctly favorable to higher values for
cotton. Tbe killing frost on the 26th
instant was certainly more severe and
general throughout the cotton belt than
any October frost in recent years; and
although opinions diner widely as to the
degree of damage done, those who con?
sider it trifling do so only because they
believe the crop to be already made,
nearly picked and wofully short. Every?
thing that wo hear from the South tends
to confirm the expectation of a short
crop, and many, who until recently have
laughed at tbe complaint, are now taking
a more serious view of the situation.
"The receipts continue to lag behind
those of last year. The visible supply
has been further reduced, the amount of
cotton that has come in sight since Sep?
tember 1 being already nearly a million
bales loss than during the same period of
1891. Unless there should be a vory
decided increase in the movement, the
present crop can hardly be much if any
over 7,000,000 bales. Why, it may be
oskod, under such circumstances does
tho market bait? It. is because spinners
are still incredulous about any serious
shortage in the yield, wbilo speculators
are all on the long side, nobody caring
to be Bhort of cotton. But every advance
brings out sellers who want to realize
profits, and so, until there shall be fur?
ther developments about tbo crop, tho
market drags,
"Liverpool to-day was lower. Some
attribute this to tho Financial Chronicle's
figures of the week's receipts, which, on
account of Friday, the 21st lust,. having
been a holiday, included eight days.
Other cables reported that the slump was
caused by an alleged estimato by Neill,
of New Orloans, of the season's yield at
8,000,000 bales. But telegrams from New
Orleans say that Neill denies having
made any suoh estimate. Whatever in?
fluenced Liverpool her weakness caused
many longs here to sell out.
"January sold soon after the opening
at 6.18, iallied to 8.23 and closed quiet at
8.21 bid. After tbe close the feeling was
moro confident aud tho trading was at
somewhat higher prices. Until more
shall be definitely known about the crop
prospect thero may be no matorial ad
vauco, but wo cannot share the opinion
of thoso who think that tho short crop
accounts are simply a huge aggregation
of falsehoods, aud unless such is tho case
it seems certain that soonor or lator we
must havo higher prices."
Traitors in tbe Cnmp.
Columbia, October 28.?Here's a pret?
ty howdy-do! A Tbird Party loader,
who does not care to have his identity
disclosed, but whose name can easily bo
guessed, is authority for the statement
that the Republicans have bcon making
frequent and urgent overtures for an
Alliance between the Tbird Party and
Republican forcos. Tho Republicans, so
it was said, are not at all anxious for any
considerable recognition and would, per?
haps, bo content with the mere right to
say to tho world that thoy htid succeeded
in allying themselves with fifty white
men who at one time voted the Demo?
cratic ticket.
The leaders of the People's Party, how?
ever, say that tho3r will not entertain any
proposition or suggestion from tho Re?
publicans and that they have no intontlon
of making any such clangorous union.
The Republicans, it is alleged, have
promised that they will give a handsome
vote to the Weaver ticket in case they are
shown any recognition. Tho leaders
decline to give any correspondence or
names in the matter, and of course their
statements have, for thopresont at least,
to be taken on faith. State Chairman
Webster, of the Republican party, who
is perhaps tho only Republican in this
section who can speak with any degree
of authority, was not in tho city to-day
to be questioned about the matter.
The Third Party loaders, while they
have no hope of carrying the State, are
ar. work advertising their movements for
future use. The Spartanburg Herald
yesterday said:
"Quite a number of representative far?
mers from various portions of the County
(Spartanburg) wero soon yesterday. Thoy
all say thoy have a.sprinkling of Third
Partyism in their neighborhood. The
fact is, there are not less than six respec?
table, but misguided men, now devoting
their whole timo to propagating tbe
Weaver heresies and Inciting voters to
cut clear of the Democratic ship. Those
men are county-raised, and have hith?
erto been good substantial Democrats.
They are riding day and night, and it is
said the following they get in certain sec?
tions is surprising."
In Lexington tho managers S3y the
movement is strong; in Greenville very
strong. Tho chiof vote for Weaver, thoy
say, will bo polled in Oconee, York,
Chester, Pickens, Spartanburg, Union
and other Piedmont Counties. There
can bo no doubt that tho moving spirits
are at work and they are figuring things
in this way: Cleveland will carry the
State. The vote will be very small, say
between 60,000 and 75,000. Tbe Third
Partyites will get between 13.000 and
15,000 votes. There will bo a great many
stay-at-homes of those who will not sup?
port Cleveland and are not yet sufficiently
advanced in their Third Partyism to
desert the Democratio party at this junc?
ture. Altogether the Third Partyites ex?
pect to make the most of any possible
indifference on the part of tho Democrats,
and claim that it is the result of latent
Third Party feeling.
One of the Third Party tickets was
handed me this evening. It is printed
on plain white paper and is worded sim
61 r- Presidential electors: Joseph L.
loitt, J. Waddell Bowden, Phillip I.
Bawl. William H. Duncan, Whit A.
Hamilton, Robert B. Ligon, William W.
McElwee, Julius J. Lane, Burkitt H.
Taylor,
Unfortunately for the Democracy tbe
Democratic electors are not all men who
aro known and there is great possibility
of error in voting, especially if some
Third Partyite should be so unscrupu?
lous as to substitute innocent looking
Third Party tickets for Democratio tick?
ets at the polls. Who knows but that
this simplicity and absence of marks to
identify the Third Party ticket have not
been arranged for this very purpose ? It
would certainly be well to examine all
tickets at the polls. The Third Partyites
have all to gain and nothing to lose in
their fight this year and will make as
good a showing as possible.
Gen. Wade Hampton, Carolina's moat
gallant and patriotic son, was in the city
to-day for a few hours. While on Law
range he met with a perfect ovation, and
for fully half an hour his carriage was
halted by Columbians, who wished to
shake hands with the "Hero of 1876." It
was a very pretty picture, this old soldier
and leader receiving the best wishes and
cheering words of his follow citizens
Gen. Hampton had but little to say. He
seemed in the very best of spirits and
was apparently enjoying good health.
Gen. Hampton has just returned from
Washington, where he met quite a num?
ber of his old Democratic friends. He
has been talking freely with them about
tbe national Kitnation and is very much
encouraged by the outlook for tho Democ?
racy. I tried to get Gen. Hampton to
talk about the situation as viewed by his
experienced eye. He said that he was
not going to do any talking, but remark?
ed : "I have an abiding faith in Cleve?
land and am quite confident of his elecr
tion. I also expect our State to give
Cleveland a splendid majority, and if she
does not it will be a very great surprise
to me." The Democrats, ho said, were
in splendid fighting trim in the North
and West, and are very much encouraged
by recent political occurrences.
Gen. Hampton will probably be here
until after tho election and will cast his
ballot here.
Iuternal Revenue Collector Webster,
who has just returned to tho city from
the North, of course thinks that the indi?
cations are that Harrison will be re-elect?
ed. He, however, admitB that the situa?
tion worries him at times, and he is not
so certain as to the final result. He is, of
course, too sensible a politician to imag?
ine that there is a ghost of a chance for
the Republican electors in this State.
As at present constituted he has but
little faith in tho efl'ect of tho Third Party
on the Democracy and thinks that every?
thing will have to jog along merrily until
there is somo moro serious disintegra?
tion of the National Democracy than that
occasioned by tho Tbird Party under its
present weak-kneed organization.
Mr. Webster has in some way gotten
tho idea in his head that the Republicans
are sure to carry West Virginia and Con?
necticut. Ho is notso certain about New
York, but altogether claims that the Re?
publicans are going to remain in office,

A War Incident Recalled.
The publication of the letter of Arch.
H. Rowand jr., of Pittsburg, to the Odd
Fellow's Lodge of this city, created much
interest. In consequence of its publica?
tion a war incident has been recalled in
a letter to Mr, Rowand, and the letter is
published in the Pittsburg Leader. The
following is the article and the letter:

who died last November, in his younger
days, in the early forties, was a promi?

time was sent by his son, Arcb, as a

O. P., of Greenville, S. C. A publication
being made in the papers of that place
brought forth the following letter:

questions about people in Grejnville.
with whom I was at the time very well
acquainted, and after somo time I asked
my questioner's name, and I undarstood
his reply to bo, 'Archy Rowand.' 'Archy'
asked the guard to turn me, tho prisoner,
over to him, and I was treated to a good
breakfast, the first for a week.
"Although nearly thirty years have
elapsed since tbut time, a foeling of grat?

A Tariff Cathcchlsm,
The following questions and answers
were found among tho papers of tho late
George Otis, of Rosello, N. J.:
Q. "What is tho rnennang of the word
tariff?
A. It is so called becauso hundreds of
years ago sea pirates at Tariffa, Spain,
forced every passing vessel to pay for the
privilege of going into and from the
Mediterranean Sea.
Q. "What is tho moauing now?
A. A certain sum forced from tho poo
ple by hind pirates.
Q. Why say taken by force ?
A. Because the Republican Congress
says to tho pcoplo: "Stand and deliver."
Q. Stand dollvor to whom ?
A. To certain favored manufacturing
interests.
Q. Where in the Constitution is Con?
gress empowered to pass a law to compel
tho few to support the many, tuo poor to
contributo to tho rich ?
A. In no part of it.
Q. Then where did it fiud the power ?
A. In tho Bible.
Q. Give the book, chapter and verse.
A. Matthew, 13th chapter, 12th verse:
"For whomsoever hath, to him shall bo
given, and ho Bhall havo moro abund
anco; but whosoever bath net, from him
shall bo taken even that which he hath."
Q. Is such a law republican in the
sense of being democratic?a government
in which the people rule ?
A. No. It is aristocratic.
Q. What do you mean by aristooratio ?
A. A government wherein a few rob
tho many ; where tho many work to help
support the privileged few.
Q. Explain how the Tariff law estab?
lishes an aristocracy in u democratio
government.
A. Congress says to the poor, because
this or that man is rich and produces
iron or cotton or woolen goods, you shall
pay him so much money for so many
pounds or yards, or go naked and work
without tools.
Q. What reason does Congress give for
Buch a tyrannical law ?
A. Congress says the law is a differen?
tiation or industrial function, which
means that industry is tho function of
the poor and tho difforcnoo goes to the
rich.
Q. Is that the only reason Congress
gives?
A. No. It says the tariff is intended
to foster infant industries at home.
Q. Are tho iron, cotton and wool in?
dustries infant?
A. No; they are a hundred years old.

poor and of the poor from getting rich.
Q. What is the difference between the
tenants in Ireland and tbe farmers in
America ?
A. None. In both oases the tax gath?
erer lives in the East and the sheriff Is
after both.
Q. Is there any other similarity be?
tween tho Irish tenants and the American
farmers ?
A. Yes, the tenants are too poor to stay
and the farmers too poor to leave.
Q. Ib that the only benefit Republican
protection confers upon the poor ?
A. No. It improves their morals;
keeps them from having useless desires.
Q. How does protection produce Buch
results ?
A. The poor have to work so hard to
support the rich they have no time for
mischief. Having no surplus money
with which to travel they see nothing
new, and desires are kept dormant.
That brings content.
A Maniac In a Pulpit*
Springfield, Mass., Oct. 23.?Charles
M. Emmerns, a gunsmith in the national
armory and a monomaniac on religion,
broke into Olivet Congregational Church
last night, provisioned the pulpit for a
week, and armed with a revolver and
fantastically draped and veiled in black,
held the whole congregation at bay from
9 a. m. until ? p. m.
The Police Department was summoned
to the scene, but did not dare to arrest
him, and the intruder held tbe pulpit in
solitary majesty until ho finally drowsed
off and was captured after a short strug?
gle.
The strange occupant of the pulpit was
first discovered by the janitor, Mr. Dick?
inson, who took the weird figure to be
the old Nick himself, and was flying
from the scene with his hair on end whon
he heard the intruder say, "I am Alpha
and Omega." Then he knew it was not
Beelzebub, but only Eminons.
He started to put him out, but was re?
pelled by the sudden production of a
revolver. Tho police were summoned,
and marched in boldly till they were
within fifteen feet of the pulpit, when
Emmons told them to go, nnc they re?
treated in haste. An attempt was made
to attack him from the rear, when ho
fired two shots through the floor, and
the officers retreated again.
Various expedients wore deyiaed. The
firemen wanted to turn the hose on him,
and one sharpshooter offered to maim
him. Others proposed to smoke him out.
It was finally decided, however, to lay
regular siege to the ohurch and starve
him out. About 2 o'clock he got bo
eleepy that he could not keep bis eyes
open, and officers Hayn es, Atkins, and
Mr. Vesey seized and disarmed him.
Emmons had been crazy for at least
Jour years. After the death of his wife
he created a sensation by lying in her
grave and refusing to get out. He has a
mania for getting into pulpits, and was
tried for lunacy a year ago, after a similar
break, in which he did not, however, use
arms.
Last week ho went to Trinity church
before the services, entered the pulpit
and took his shoes off, and had to be
ojected by force. He has also a mania
lor reading the Bible at prayer meetings,
so that he has had to bo put out several
times.
He had in the pulpit when arrested
two pistols, two night lamps, a bag of
crackers and cookies, two pouuds of
gunpowder, a large supply of rod fire,
rockets, and Roman candles, a breech
block of a rifle for a candle stick, two
wooden troughs with which to shoot
rockets, a bottle of alcohol, a can of kero?
sene, a tin funnel, five tins of prepared
chicken and turkey, a pail of water, and
a tin cup.
He was well supplied with ammuni?
tion, and. after firing five shots, ho care?
lessly reloaded his weapon from a long
row of cartridges in the pulpit. He was
wrapped in a yellow rug taken from the
altar chairs and had his head shrouded in
a black veil.
At loast 1,000 people stood in the streets
from 9 till 2 o'clock waiting to see him
put out.

A New State Debt Scheme.
The publio debt matter is exciting
most unusual interest just now, and there
is a probability that an attempt will be
made to accomplish something alleged
to be even better than the refundment of
the 6 per cent, bonds at 4 per cent., which
in itself, as often pointed out before, will
result in a great saving to tbe people of
the State in the payment of interest.
A soheme is being considerably talked
of among some of tho Administration
men which, if tho arguments used in its
lavor are sound, will result in something
better than the refundment.
Of course the matter is so far only
vaguely discussed, but several of the
financiers of the Administration have
been seen about it, and they all talk in
its favor. The plan was once discussed
before, but nothing ever oame of it.
As explained by those familiar with
tbe finances of the State, it is that the
State, through its Legislature, lease tho
phosphate beds to parties of wealth for a
long term of years, the lessees to take up
the entire State debt and liquidate it,
relieving the State of its debt and doing
away with the taxation for the purpose
of meeting the annual interest.
A man who is perhaps as woll acquaint?
ed and as intimately connected with tho
finances of the State as any one, says that
a lease of forty years, to reliable parties,
if they could be found, on proper terms,
would be the best thing that tbo State
could do. He Bays that it would be a
most advantageous move, even if the
beds wore only leased for the securing
of the payment of the interest. The levy,
he Bays, is now two mills on all assossed
property in the State to meet this inter?
est, and the payment of that much would
greatly relieve the people, while the State
would have ample funds to run the gov?
ernment. If the debt could be refunded
at 4 per cent., and then such a move bo
made, it would be all the. more advanta?
geous. He said that it would not hurt
the State to part with the beds for ten
millions, or even oight million;'.
One of the most prominent members
of the Legislature, who is most intimate
with the finances of the State, was also
queried on the subfect. He seems to
think that if the scheme is practicable, it
would be the best thing that could be
done for the interests of the people. He
seems to think that the matter will reach
the Legislature in one form or another,
but cannot foretell what action would
follow in case it did.
It is ascertained on very good authority
that Governor Tillman since his return
to the city, has received an offer for the
refundment of the bonds, which he failed
to get while in New York, and is now
considering it. The parties making the
offer and its terms are known to certain
outside parties, but it is impossible to
five any other facts at this time.?Cohim

The Governor and the Goat.
San Aktowia, Tex., Oct. 31.?A dis?
patch from Sequin states that Ex-Gover?
nor John Ireland has been prevented
from entering the State campaign in be?
half of Hogg, on account of the injuries
which he recently received from a vicious
billygoat. The bearded animal was kept
in a pasture adjoining the Governor's
home. A few mornings ago, Mr. Ireland
was crossing the pasture in his usual
style, when the billygoat struck him
with force from behind. The Texas
statesman was knocked down and re?
peatedly struck by the goat. He made
vain endeavors to svard off the blows
with his feet but was not successful in
doing so. He was rescued by neighbors
and taken home, where he has remained
ever since.

? Nathan W. Gregory, trial justice,
died at his home near Saluda Old Town
on Thursday night, the 20th instant. He
bad been in bad health for some time.
He was about 60 year old. He leaves a
wife, but no children. Mr. Gregory had
come to the conclusion some time before
that his death would occur about the
time It did occur. On Saturday, the 15th,
he sent to Newberry for a coffin to be
buried In. Tho persons he Bent by deci?
ded after reaching Newberry not to get
it that day. On the following Wednes?
day, the 19th, he sent again, and this time
the coffin was carried to him. When it
reached his home Wednesday night he
got into it to Bee if it suited him, and after
trying it declared it was "all right except
the pillow was not quite high enough."
The next night he died. His body was
placed in his coffin and carried over to
Edgefield county and buried.?Newberry

? Paris has practically decided that the
big thing with which she will amuse the
world at the exhibition of 1900 will bo the
greatest of all telescopes. The idea was
suggested some time ago, but was aban?
doned on account of the difficulties in?
volved. Bat this is to be a reflecting
telescope, which is easier to make, there
being only one great concave mirror just
under ten feet in diameter to fashion,
instead of the polishing of four surfaces
involved in making two lenses. Practi?
cal telescope makers have undertaken to
make the groat spy-glass, which will have
a tnbe more than a hundred feet long
and as large as the Yendome column. It
will cost at least $500,000, and it is expec?
ted to bring the moon near enough to see
objects no larger than the towers of the
