TE ANIG TIMS 3 M 30m1-rlig . C% LOUIS APPELT, Editor. Wednesday, March 20, 1895. Whatis the meaning of theColumbia State's endorsement of the "Forty"? Has it any signifieance? Is there a finegItalian hand in it? Dargan preach ingbrotherly love to the negroes,Gon. zales charging the State administa tion with defrauding the negroes out of their rights and offering to test the matter in the federal courts, andnow urging that his followers go in with the "Forty." Has Mr. Gonzales forgotten that the "Forty" are called together as members of an organization which he does not affili Ste with, and what ever action they may take shall be subject to the ap proval of the regular Democratic or ganization? The "Forty" have ex tended their invitation to Democrats not simply to white men and the past four years have- produced a small number of white men that are not Demaocrats and they should be self respecting enough to keep out of where they are not wanted. The "Forty" want- no conference with Popeites and Haskellites; they want to confer with Reformers and Con servative thathave in the past and wil in the future stand loyally by our State Democratie organization, and we hope that the P.ichland Dem ocrats will see to it that they are represented by a set of men who will be acceptable to Reformers and Con ervatives, from other parts of the State. The conference next Wednes day can accomplish a great deal of good and will do so, if no prevented by men who have always been a thorninthefdesh to both factions. If a askrellite or a Popeite whom the people hate gets into that confer ence undertakes to lead the oon Serence will be smashed to pieces just as would a china shop with a wild bull turmd loose into it. We do not think the Darlington W : peopl, did a wise thing in selecting Mayor W. F. Dargan to represent 2hem in the "Forty" conference. Mr. Dargan is regarded throughout the State as one of the most violent op ponents to the eform cause. The people him in the same political with Gonzales, Wood zd and other extremis and the presence of such menin that confer ence will revive feelings that are sought to be allayed. We can say for this county, should it decide to be represented in the conference; a dif ferent class ofmen will go. Since the Columbia State has taken up the cause of the "Forty" whether asked to do soor not, men have left it like taaleaving asinking ship. Our idea of the "Forty" was andis to try, it possible to unite the white people on .this constitutional~convention ques 'ion within the rules of the regularly organized Demnocratio party of the State. That they recognize the State executive committee of which Ro.JL.rby ischairman asthe head of the party and they will be true in their allegiance toit. Now if the "Forty" are going to affiliate with with Gonzales and men of his poli tical creed, why not invite Brayton, Melton, Moorman, John J. Dargan Pope? This paper endorsed the call of the "Forty" because it was anxious 'for an adjustment of the differences existing between Democrats, but we do not propose to recognize as Demo crats men who are so solitictous of the negroes welfare as to continue from day to day crying "fraud" in; matte of reitainof the colored' voters. The "ot" should not deal with men of the Cns ative faction1 whom the Conservatives themselves will not recognize' and we are satis fied that had the Conservatives con sidered Messrs. Gonzales, W. F. Dagnand John J. Dargan of the 'gh stamp, inmitations would have been extended to them to attend the Conservative conferences. They are not wanted by the Conservatives and the Reformers don't need them in their busines If the "Forty" con ference are to have a peace and unity meeting, somebody will have to be bucked and gagged or the thing will go up like a sky rocket.

Recollections of Potter's Rad. By aMT. UK, V. OOD. It was some hours before sunset that our yard and home was crowded with negro soldiers. They were boisterous and rude. They looked upon me in bed suspiciously. Some of them would peep in the door, thers more bold would stand in the door. while others would come up to the bed and look me full in the face, thratning us all. The hired servant, before a negro sergeant, who, with his sword dangling at his side, walked boldly over the house, had occasion to speak to me, calling me "Mass William." It fired him. He dew into a rage, and with a horrible oath he cursed her. "You call him Master?" "He is not Four master. You are as free as he is. Don't call him master." Matters were powing serious. The confusion and ex sitement seemed more than I could beAr. [needed the advic, and attention of a physician. Bemembering what had been old Mrs. hi. about applymng to the Gen iral for aguard, she suggested it to me. But there was no one to go but her. This ard us it was, to leave the house and .go brough the restlescrowdso egro0es across he street, she undertook, placing the babe beside me on the bed. bhe met a very ulaboately dressed oflier at the gate. He hold her he was not the Genera], but walked with her to the steps.'ad pointing o the palor door, said "he is there with he ladies of the house." There being no ther chair vacant in the room he' offered ber his, and heard what she said about our night, and the rudeness of the negroes, ko. He asked her to 'point out the house, which she did, and the ladies (&Irs. H. and aer mother), confirming her sament as :owho shewas, he seid a guard would at me be plaed atthepgte. We suppose it was done. We never felt their luse, at east we did not know how to use the aard, ifplaced at the gate. On her re ;urn she said to me in their hearing: It was very kind in the General to send a guard topec us." Then they left, but uthers soon returned. One of the servants ;hen informed us that they were breaking fto our store room. It was acress the gard near the well. 'this 'was a serious ifair; it was all we had, and the thought was suggested, perhaps Lieutenant Water nan can help us. ad the servant was gone >ut a moment when h' returned with her: e said "everything mu.? be brought into lhe house, into this room; and he intimat d that his family were Methodists, and hat he did not suppose I had anything to pre." .I told him that the greater part of ny salary had been paid in provisions, and hat itwas ncessary tosave what we had. Ee would not insist on ging en with the servants, but would not lite to Mrs. hi. going with him, but she would go. There iad been brought into the room a bag of ice andsome meat, andperhaps a jar of ad, when my wife came in, end, in tears, auid her face upon the bed beside me. Sh. was completely brioken down. I could tot imagine what had caused these sobs ad tears; and while she was telling me, deutennt Waterman came in and saw ir distress. He expressed great regret at what he had said, and protested that there was not any purpose to give us any more rouble than was upon us. But that since hey had gotten into town, they had had ,ommunication with Sumter, and we must tot ask bow they had this. But this in oimation had changed General Potter's ~urpose. we had intended to rest here 0-morrow, but we will move on to Sum er to-morrow, and the entire fogee will be n the road at early dawn. Thinking you mght to know the worst, I have told Mrs. I. that our information is that General rant has General Lece in such a position hat he cannot escape He'll be forced to urrender. It is this that has distressed er; far be itfromnle to injure the feel g of one of the daughters of south Caro ina or Virginia. I hold them in the uigest esteem, and think them the greatest omen In this broad land." I told him 'that with all due respect to his kindness o us, kindness which we never forget, I id not believe one word he had said. I ould not be made to believe it." He re >lied that "he admired my spirit, but hat what he had told me would in a short ime be confirmed, and that our cause was ot. This was alarming intelligence. I as not prepared for this. But alas, so rue. While this was going on, he was aled away by many voices in the yard. ,on our house was filled with soldiers; hey had lighted torches in their hand. When I saw the light (it was growing dark) ny concIusion was, they are here to Sre the mouse. The servant went again in haste or our protector Lieutenant Waterman. e was at his tent, aud in a trice was in he house. I heard his voice, and some me say, "Is that you, Lieuitenant?" Then is reply: "Y!ou need not search the mouse any., further. I have been over it. Ietinre with your men as quietly as poss ble. Hle is quite sick, as you see." Be hen came to my bedside, and in his kind at manner told me not to be alarmed; it ra only "the Provost Guard under orders, >ut he had gone; tuey were looking for Irearms, and ammunition. He said that his sudden change in the marching or ers had given him much to do." He emed to feel for us sincerely, and re ciarked to Mrs. hi. that I ought to have ome coffee, perhaps tea would be better; hat in their stores they had no tea, and bat he had failed to find the sommnissary ragon containing coffee or he would have arought me some. He found me very eeble, and we were all in great trouble; nd more ao because he said he hardly ourht he could drop in again as there ras much upon his hands. T was nw -anrc ha .e au f,.iend; that hia did not believe I had deceived the army by shooting down their man and then taking a back street and going to bed. I tried to thank him for his kindness. (I had asked him in his fir t visit is he was a married man. He looked confused, and with a blush upon his cheeks said: "I am too young to be married." My heart was full. Then Mrs. K stood before him with a large ham in her hands. (It had been given us on our salary by our friend Dr. S. P. Oliver, near St. Mark's church.) and she too tried to thank him for his kindness and with choking utterances asked him to accept the ham; it was all we had to give him. He bowed and took it in both hands and said: "I can't consent to take this from you, though I fully appreciate your kindness. From appearences. Mrs. M., you'll need this meat before I will. Our commissary stores are ample;" and he laid laid it down upon the hearth beside the bag of rice. on't remember that we shook his hand in parting. If we did not it was because he hastened away seeing our emotion; the distress we were in and my extreme feebleness. He did not want to witness it any longer. An hour or so afterward when I thought it all over I had many regrets, and they increased for over twenty years, that I had not asked him his address. Sumter, S. C.

Hector D. Lane, commissioner of agriculture of Alabama and president of the Ameri can Cotton Growers Protective assotis tion addresses today a communication to the cotton growers of the mouth in which he warns them against what he calls the stragette movement being made by cotton manipulators to delude them into the suicidal act of planting again a large crop of cotton. He says that uneasiness has been felt In Liverpool for some time ebacerning a probably decreased acreage and had this menace not existed cottpn would have been even lower than it has been, and now as the end of the season Is at hand and the staple issubstantially out of the hands of the farmer, these gen tlemen who have represented the "bear" element so many months while cotton was moving in large volumes, now re sort to this ruse of running values up simply as a device to Induce farmers to plant more eotton than intended. - He warns the farmers that the rise in eotton of the last few days Is ficti clous and that it is the product of a spiraev to systematically rob the producer of his legitimate gains. "let the People Bewar Continuing he says: "Let the peo pie beware. It is a bait to catch those who will bite. There is no legitimate reason shown for this sudden rise in ootton values. The production has ex eeeded the most sanguine expectatipas; Russia kiss placed a virtually prohibi tave duty on American ooftoui, so we an no longer sell her 500,000 bales." He says that those who are actnally engaged in the work of producing cot ton are not earning twelve cents a day for their labor the year round "and what Is to be the fate of this man when his cotton goes down one or one and a half cents thisfall?" Nor is it at all Improbable when we recog nize the conditlon that confront us for I invite consideration of the fact that we had a most phenominal season for plcking our crop this last season and i classiLeation was higher than ever known. Hardly any grading les than low ndddllng, which averaged less than live cents." "I invoke," he concludes "the most earnest attention of cotton growers to this nefarious scheme and address you this letter as the caveat that you may not be deluded by this wolf in sheer's clothing, or in other words, this 'bear' in 'bull's' clothing."

Naw Yoa, March 19.-The follow l4g statement was Oven out yesterday: Astor House, New York, March 18. l805.-To h Press of New York City-The defacto gov brer of Alabama, Colonel Oates. has made publio through the presso certain statements regarding the Snanoial condition of Alabama, hich we, in justice to a common sense of hon *sty, feel It a duty to refate. The Inference me woul have fran his Interviews Is which Me states that the =edit of Alabama is so good. ould be that the state is In a peaceful and prospeeous eogdition. this not being the case. The facts are that under the preceding ad ninistration the government of Alabama be Hme In suah straits that the thou defacto lovernor, Thomas G. Jones, recommended that he taxes be raised to meet the existing de5 Asenay. He alsd, without authority of law, borrowed money to prevent a crisis. Since Dolone Oates wa seated defacto governOr by soldiers, with forty rounds of cartridges ikled around their waists, his counted-in nAministration has found it .necessary to not xly raise the tax rate but also to povide a 3ew and unjust revenue law to attempt to save &he state from Impending bankruptcy. It such conditions make the good credit of a nste, then It may exist for Alabama, but busi eess men will deem It otherwise, especially rhen a great majority of the people of Ala *aea de not aow recegnise Colonel Oates as he legally esoted governor of the state.
