Arrival Of lieu Terrell Ami

N ?ws ami Cniuier.
1 'oi l m in a, September 24 ? Spc- '
cial: The advent of Ilea Terrell, the j
Alliance apostle, and others of the
same stamp int- this State means ! j
much in a po'iW rM sense. The lea- j
ders are for the present keeping the ^
matter somewhat quiet, and it is j
evidently theii intention to try and
spring a mine on the farmers. The
announced purpose of the mission of
Mr. Terrell is to arouse the Alliance 1 (
spun in mis ouue. i no leaders i '
have ut last conic to recognize the
faci that the Alliance fuelling in
South Carolina is very dormant.
They are saying that the Alliance
sentiment is still here, ami that .
when the elections come that this
fact will he shown.
It is now the intention to have the ,
farmers, who they think ought to j
join the Order, to become active and, ,
what is more, contributing members .
af the Alliance. The present purpose
as an lion need is to arouse the Alliance
feeling in the State, and in '
that way increase the membership,
which is now, hy the way, painfully
small. It is said that an effort is
being made to get other prominent ^
Alliance men to come to the State at
the same time; among them President
Loucks. In a word, Hie intention
is to make a bold stroke at this
time ami if possible arouse the <
Alliance spir t to the highest pitch.
From what can be learned Prcsi t
dent Kvans lias not very much to do \
wit h this "booming" idea. < )ne of <
the men in the counsels of the Alh- l
am o and Keform party was asked 1
about the political significance of u
the visit of Mr. Terrell and others, ?
and whether it was a mere cover to t
starting up a Third Party movement
in this State. 11e said: i
"Whether it will result in a split t
in the Democratic party remains to \
be seen. It is very evident that there
are two very different factions and t
with very different views in this t
Sta'o, and there is no power; so far t
as I can see, that can keep them g
together." f
"Then there is to he a Third Party c
in this State?" U
"1 can't tell who will make the a
split. Both sides, I expect, will try j?
and keep the name of the Demo- t
ciucy. i 111? >vuik is tu 111y miiia a y
part of the plan to get a closer alii- c
unce between the States of the (
South and West, and so something
in that line will be done at the Con t
volition that is to meet in St. Louis i
next month. The West has really t
never had any affection for high c
tariff, hut has always believed that
with free coinage they could stand it,
hut they now see that the Kast is
wedded to a high tariff and the use '
of as little silver as possible as
money; so you see there is every rea- e
son foi the South to combine with i
the West for its own protection." t
"'What part do you think Cover* t
nor Tillman will take in the propos- cJ
ed combination? 1
"lie will be very high up in the i
counsels of the new movement. He c
recognizes as much, or more than t
any one else, ino necessity lor just I
such a combination. If he iias any r
aspirations higher than those of c
being a United States Senator, lie s
must recognize the fact that tho only s
way he can achieve any success is by j
a combination of the South and t
West in some big political move- j
nient. This is perhaps the best time c
to begin just such a movement, and a
if it is going to bo successful I think
the next eduction is the lime." t
"What effect do you think such a 1
movement would have on State poli I
tics?" n
"I do not think it will make much ?
difference so far as State politics are o
concerned. I am, however of the t.
opinion that those who go into the <]
ne<v scheme in national politics will I
take the same position in State poli- a
tics, and by that 1 mean that they t
will have to stand together. It is r
not going to he nominally a Third I
Tarty, for the use of the name
Dttinoernov will he contir lied, rl
There may be two wings of the 1
Democratic party, and tho new fac- g
tion is going to he as much against e
Cleveland and his policy as can very j
well bo imagined. t
"The Anti-Cleveland Democracy
campaign will begin about tho 1st of y
October and it will be an interesting
fact to note who indentifles himself
with the new party and then to
watch the future movements of that g
particular individual in tho political
arena. The Alliance is starting its s
national campaign very early and
evidently wants to get in all the I
work that it can before the State v
campaign opens." * I

Our Coat Of Arms.
'oluinbia State.
Historical facts are wanted con
rerning the origin and meaning of
he coat of arms of the State of
south Carolina. Coventor Tillman
tas looked up the matter a little and
le confesses that he cannot find out
my thing accurate about it. No one
ibout tiie JStjito Capitol knows anyhing
definite on llio subject either.
There are several designs of what
s alleged to be the real coat of arms,
nit the Governor does not know
vhich is the correct one.
Ho has been thinking for some
imo of getting some one to look up
bo history of the coat of arms. Yeserday
his desire to obtain it was
;tiniulatod by the receipt of a letter
torn Mrs. Mary Cecil Cantwill,
diairman of the board of lany managers
of the World's Fair, asking for
itch a history, and sketch of the
hate flag. She wants the in formaion
for use in getting up a book
vhieli will contain histories of the
mat of arms of each State in the
nion.
Governor Tillman has written to
he professors of history in the leadng
colleges of the State asking them
o collect such historical data as they
an and forward it it to him.

UNDER PCRFECfcONTROLMaj.
Hannibal Spar hawk was one
of the largo and heavy men of our
town, lie was a born hero and a
warrior. His spirit was martial and
comtnonding.
IIe stood six feet two inches in his!
stockings and turned the beam of uj
truo and trusted Fairbanks at two
hundred and ton pounds avoirdupois.
He was the acknowledged leader
of his party in our town and his party
was in the ascendant.
The major was not quarrelsome,
hut he was opinionated and unyiold
ing. He was too big a man to quarrel
and too conscious of his own
powers to yield a point in anything.
Maj. Sparhawk had lived a bachelor
to the ago of forty. At length,
however, the erotic dart touched his (
heart, and he offered to take a wife
and make her mistress of the wife's ,
appropriate departmental his, house.
Sylvia Aspen was a small, delicate
woman, pretty and accomplished.
For several years she had taught
the primary department of our common
school, and the suDorintendiner I
* "
committee was forced toacknowle*
that by no other teacher had the
scholars ever been bo thoroughly
governed.
She had seen thirty years of life I
and for reasons best known to herself
she had rofused all offers of marriage.
And now Maj. Hannibal Spar hawk
offered her his hand and his heart.
"Miss Aspen," ho said, in his blunt
dictatorial way, "you have known ine j
long enough and well enough to know
something of the home I can provide.
If you take me you will take a rough
blunt man who must be his own
master through life.
"I have my own peculiar views of
the true marriage relation. The man
is the head of the household. I can
love and provide and protect; but I
must be master. As 1 nfn 1 offer

myself. You will not be deceived." j
Sylvia smiled 0110 of her sweat,!
electric smiles, and, with her small
white hand resting confidingly upon I
the major's arm, she told him she had
accepted tho situation,
ou me sure?" ho queried.
"I am sure of ihis," she saiil, look
ing up into his face with caudal for- j
vor, "[ lovo you well enough to mar
i v you, and or for domestic govern!
ment the result must be as the result
is the world over the weak must depend
upon the strong.'
Hannibal Sparhawk kissed the little
woman unu assured her that he
would never be tryannicat or unjust
and the day for the wedding was
fixed.
People wondered, when it was pub
lished, that Sylvia Aspen was to be
come the wife of Maj. Sparkhawk. i
"She will bo a slave and a drudge!"
was ?he general opinion.
"You don't know what you are doing,"
said a friend, who had known
the major long and well. "Hannibal
Sparhawk will wear and fret the life
out of \ou. lie litis the officers of
his regiment at his house as often
us once a week; and when they come
they nniKO a night of it. It's dreadful
the way they carry on; and the
punch and tho wine that is drank
and the tobacco that is smoked is beyond
account. You don't think lie
will give up these things, do you?"
In due time?early in autumn
Hannibal Sparhawk utul Sylvia Aspen
became man and wife.
Tho major had planned to have the
wedding a grand affair?to have his
military friends present in full pan j
oply, with a lull bum! of music and
appropriate fixings, but Sylvia persuaded
him not. She said but little,

sweetest smile imagmablo, "suppose
I could show you that the' greatest
possible amount of comfort and joy
you can find will come from pleasing |

"Eh?M
She kissed him and then ran away.
Already Maj. Hannibal Sparhawk
felt a nipping at his car, as though
something was biting it.
Day J and weeks passed and the
officers of the grand old regiment
were not invited to the proposed re
union at the major's.
It was whispered that his wife
would not allow it, and yet when t(,e
officers individually had occasion to |
call at the major's residence Sylvia
treated them so kindly and so considerately
and bestowed upan them so
much careful attention as friends of
her husband that they went away j
loud in her praise.
It was on a pleasant evening of

circle connected with our religious
society met at the major's house.
Late in the evening a knot of gentle
men wore seated ir. the grout or'el
of the hack parlor, while at the center
tahle near by were a few of the
ladies at work.
In the oriel the conversation turned
upon national affairs. Deacon ltich
advanced an idea in opposition to the
cherished political opinions of his
host. The major was fired in a mo
moot.
' [ will tell you. sir!" he exclaimed
smiting his huge list upon his knee,
"the political sentiments which?"
Mark!
It was the tapping of a knitting
needle upon the arm of Sylvia's chair
The major looked up and mot the
glance of his wife, lie coughed and
stammered, and then smiled as he
said:
"We won't enter into a political
discussion in the presence of ladies.
At another time, deacon, I will give
you my opinion upon the matter."
On thoir way homo Deacon litch
and Squire Lewis walked together.
"Well, deacon, what do you think
now about poor little Sylvia's daring
to say her soul's hor own in the presence
of her husband?"
"I am amazed," confessed the deacon.
"Why, bless me! she rules him
with a rod of iron."
"And yet/' suggested Lewis, "ho
seems happy and contented."
"Aye and there's the wonder. 1
can't comprehend it can you?"
"I think 1 can. There is one way,
and one way only, in which a small,

we ilv woman can entirely subjugate

husband. The major is not governed
against his ivill in fact, his wife
does not directly govern him at all.
She leads him to govern himself."
Other people wondered as Deacon
11ich wondered, for it was nparent to
all that the doughty man of war and
muster nail become a model hushntul.
Tho only man, perhaps, who did
not wonder was the major himself,
lie was content with the prize he
had gained. Once a friend uskod
him if he was not governed by his
wife.
".No, sir!" was his emphatic reply.
"But you do her bidding, never

but it is known that it presented a
graphic condition of the political
situation In (Jeorgia and the South

expediency of a public utterance

his recent message as to tho proper
policy to be pursued by Congress
upon questions affecting tho stringency
of the times and the needs of
tho people.
It is understood that in Ins letter,

The president's r< ply to that letter
was received this evening and is as

WASHING i'GN,
Sept. 2ot h, 1 893.
Hon. \V. J. Northen.
Dear Sir: I hardly know how to
reply to your letter of the l.Mli instant.
It seems to mo that T am
quite plainly on record concerning
the financial question. My letter
accepting the nomination to the
Presidency, when read in eoimoetion
with the message latel sent to ('on*
n t /
^ress in extraordinary session,!
appears to mo to bo very explicit.
I want; a currency that is stable
and safe in the hands of our people.
I will not knowingly ho implicated i
in a condition that will justly make
ine, in the least, degree, answerable i
to any laborer or farmer in the
in the United States for a shrinkage '
in the purchasing power of the dollar
lie has received for .1 full doll.iv'<
worth of the product of his toil. !
not only want our currency to bo of
such a character that all kinds of
loliars will be of cjual purchasing
power at home, but 1 want it to be
jf such a character as will demon |
strate a broader wisdom and good '
faith, thus placing upon a firm foun
dation our credit among the nations i
of the earth.
I want our financial conditions I
and the laws relating to our currency
so safe and reassuring that those who
have money will spend and invest it ,
in bttsiii3ss and new enterprises
instead of hoarding it. Von cannot
cure fright by calling tt foolish ami;
unreasonable and you cannot prevent
the frightened man from hoardinghis
money.
I want good, sound and stable
money, and a condition of confidence j
that will keep it in use. Within the
limits of what I have written, I am a ,
friend of silver, but I believe its
proper place in our currency can
only be fixed by a readjustment of
our currency legislation and the inauguration
of a consistent and con
prehensivo financial scheme. I think
that such a thing can only be entered
upon profitably and hopefully af '
tor tin; repeal of tho law, which is
charged with all our financial woes.
In the present state of the public
mind, this law cannot be built upon,
nor patched in such way as to re
lieve tho situation.
I am, therefore, opposed to the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
by this country alono and independently,
and 1 am in favor of tho immediate
and unconditional repeal of
the so called Sherman law.
I Confess I am astonished by the
opposition to the Senate to such
prompt action i s would relieve the
present unfortunate situation.
My daily prayer is that the delay
occasion by such opposition may not j
bo the cause of plunging the country
into deeper depression than it has
yet known, and that the Democratic
party may not be justly held responsible
for such a catastrophe.
Yours very truly,
G gov tit: ('i,k vI'i. a n i).
