Intelligencer. Published every Wednesday. J. F. CLINKSCALKS, ? EMTORS AX? C. C. LANGSTON, S I'KO'I'KIKTOKS. TERMS ?' ONE YEAR, - - - . SIX MONTHS. - - - WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13, 1900. Senator I ?avid Hcmictt Hill, like (jen. Hoaxy Ppnxy Aguinaldo, i>i-is*ists in retaining t li irs mortal coil. Like our own immortal G. Walt Whitman, he "nint ?lcad vit." Will McKinley benevolently ?i.?simi late one ot the slices ol' Chinese terri tory around winch tin- hungry powers arc snarling? It would bc ti Hiting punishment for tin- blond-thirsty.and fanatical Hoxels. The Republicans couldn't meet the test. The armor plate combine \\ hipped them into lin* at the last moment, and the fat-frying lor their campaign was simultaneously inaugurated. Thal ar mor plant was loo good a I liing for the politic ilannasand I'enroses. l! (?reenville ('?ninty is willing to stand thc expense of trying elimin?is wanted in this County, the taxpayers here will not raise un) kick. We would be only too well pleased if our good neighbors would relieve ns <?! a larger share of Ibis class of expensive luxuries. - . ? That >. 100,000 contribution nf ship builder Crumps lo the Wi Republican campaign fund lia? caused many colicky developments in Hw internal Republican organism. As a conse quence the relations between tin* muni ficent: donor and the Republican mana gers who failed to deliver a satisfac tory ?'quivalent may lie regarded as somewhat cramped. As the time draws near for the as sembling of tin' National Democratic Convention, all the indications point to the relegation of tho currency issue to a position of subordination. This being thc case, there are now the brightest piospects for Democratic success at tho polls next November the party has ever had since its Organiza tion by Jefferson. The only unfavora ble feature about it is the tremendous Democratic majority promised in Con gress, which, wo fear, will tend to top heavy nud unwieldy helplessness. The revelations as to the ice trust in New York city in which Augustus Yan Wyck, late Democratic candidate for Governor ona vigorous anti-trust plat form, was found to he a larg?' stock holder, should excite no more surprise thnn tho sudden change of front to tho contrary position by the Republicans' in Congress. They aro the known ex ponents of trust doctrines and their ready defenders. What can we say of I heir constancy now when we hear them railing in lutter denunciation against all kinds of trust?, little and big, good, bad and indillerent! No, no, YnnYV) ck is not the only peach. Our good friend, the tireen ville Mountaineer, does us the kindness to call our attention to a very stupid blunder which crept into our columns last week in reference to the opposi tion to a resolution introduced in tho convention of Confederate Veterans expressing fraternity to the soldiers who fought for the Union, lt was not Col. Rurgwynn who opposed (ho reso lution but Col. Sheppard, of Virginia, he being supported by n North Caro linian, Col. Garrett)', who was a mem ber of the committee on resolutions. lt gives us great pleasure to make the correction, and tho Mountaineer has our thanks for giving us the facts. Editor John Rrisbeu Walker, of the Cosmopolitan Magazine, a close, per sonal and political friend and adviser ol' Wm. J. Ilryau, has written thc latter a strong open letter in which he urges the abandonment of the financial ques tion as an issue in this campaign. He argues well that the hope of the coun try lies in the Democratic party, and that the man who, by bad judgment and extreme political opinions, makes Democratic success impossible "may be responsible for the downfall of the republic." The introduction of the currency question must endanger the success of the fight against the real vital issue-imperialism, trust rule and militarism. Such a pronounced ex pression can he botter valued when it is remembered that Mr. Walker has been ono of tho foremost agitators of the rcmonitization of silver in thu United States, and it was he who wrote and secured the adoption of the clause indorsing tho Chicago platform at the Buffalo Convention in 1890. X The farmers and kindred interests of thc South are moving uta rapid gait in the organization of Southern Cotton Growers. To thc Georgia Cotton Planters' Protective Association is due probably more of thc credit for the or gnnizntion up to the present day than to any other source. The president of thc Association, Hon. C. ll. Jordan, has taken a keen interest in perfecting a thorough organization of cotton ?ro~crs, gi.! .icia ami bankers, and has met with unexpected support from all classes. Tho Georgia Rankers Asso ciation will co-operate bcariily with the Cotton Growers and will perfect the plans at its meeting this month. The banks aro ready to advance, liber ally on cotton stored in warehouses, thuB enabling tho planter to control his crop ns long ns he sees fit. The storage charges, including insurance, will be reduced one-half from tho rates now prevailing, so that thc carrying charges, including insurance, will be com pavatively light. The present in /ten t ion ot the parties who will erect 'these warehouses is to lend money on stored cotton nt six .per cent, pei* nn uuiii. With low money rates ami cheap carrying charges, thc Induce ments offered thc colton grower t<> or ganize in time to reap the benefits from this crop aro amply great t<? warrant the most earnest activity. An associa tion for South Carolina should ho formed immediately, and inasmuch as the matter has been brought to the attention of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society, we would com mend the suggestion ol' the Secretary, Col. Holloway, that the Cotton Grow ers meet al Greenwood with the Wheat (irowers this summer. Such an or ganization can then be perfected by caril County in the State seeing full representation is had then; at the thu?-. This i> a question not of selfish but of patriotic moment in which every fanner, laborer, ginner, banker arni merchant should feel a special inter est, and to which every energy should be bent to make effective a perfect or ganization. Now that candidates b>i the Legisla ture are budding oui throughout the County, there an-many issues which the people wish t<> be raised, and be fore committing themselves to any candidate It i> just to them that those candidates make known without tiny equivocation their position on those questions. The progressive spirit of to-day linds no compromise with that old sentimentality which prompts the voter to east hi> ballot for .lohn Doe because Doe is a good neighbor or an all-round good fellow. What the peo ple want in their legislative halls is brain [and backbone. Milk and mush may be more popular with certain classes, but the prosperity and future development of the State in general and this County in particular depends to a very large extent upon the class of men who represent us in our law-mak ing assembly. The occasion demands the presence ?d' keen foresight and forceful argumentation, that which is fearless regardless of a political future, and which views with scorn and con tempt the changing, shifting vagaries of tho irresponsible demagogue. Tho people want a clean, clear-cut declara tion of purpose upon the all important liquor'question, and they now put each candidate on notice that be will be held responsible for a faithful dis charge of his pledges if he is elected. They want no half-hearted support of the cause of prohibition of an avowed prohibition candidate whom they have elected. They want nn expression of principles and a declaration of inten tions from each candidate on tho ques tion of removing altogether or other wise modifying the linc feature of the penal code by constitutional amend ment. This will subject violators of th?; law either to complete penal servi tude, or partial penal servitude and line. Tho law which permits its viola tors to bribe justice with n trilling money consideration has long since outgrown its usefulness ami is repug nant, to t lu' spirit of a law-abiding peo ple to li nauseating degree, lt is on this defect of our law that the bonds of shivery aro declared to bang upon the freedom of scores of helpless citi zens in our Cornily to-day who, under terror of public disgrace, have allowed their liberty to" be sold to take up a worse than a bondsman's chains. There aro many abuses along this line that the people demand shall be reme died 'at once. They want a definite pledge on the question of good ronds, permanent highways, and they want for this purpose a general appropria tion, liurying hundreds of dollars annually in red clay is decidedly out of-date. Every ginner in the State should be licensed, and he should be required at tho end of every month to return to thc Clerk of Court a detailed sworn statement of the number of bales of cotton ginned by him. Such state ment should give a full and complete record of each .bale ot cotton-tho name of owner and other persons in terested, marks and numbers branded on bale., weight, and such other facts ns will aid in more perfectly identify ing each bale wherever found. Legis lative candidates aro expected to take a position on this question, ns it is a reform that is coming, and tho man who blocks the progress of its rapidly rolling wheels must suffer tho crush that inevitably awaits him. Tho peo ple demand n vigorous and effective anti-trust law designed after laws which have stood the test of constitu tionality in other Stntes. They want an inspector of illuminating oils-not simply n man to lill a position and draw a salary, but au inspector that will inspect. They demand a bettor and broader interpretation of the rela tions existing between landlord and laborer, defining a laborer as under legal contract having received supplies for a crop from a landlord. They want a first -class bomb-proof drainage law. Tin y want a reduction of thc privilege tax on fertilizers. Thcso issues aro all well understood by tho masses and need no elaboration on our pnrt. Those gentlemen who offer for tho Legisla ture mo expected to discuss these issues when they go before tho people, who will in turn do their part when tho time for action comes.
