BILL’S POLITICAL.
IT IS SPOILED BY HIS EFFORT
TO STRADDLE.
Marion Butler Says the Report That
the Populist Had Demanded
Sewall’s Withdrawal Was
Without Foundation.
(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
Washington, D. C., Sept. 25, 189G.
—Senator Hill’s attempt to carry
silver on one shoulder and gold on
the other, in the New York guberna
torial campaign, is the most talked
about political event of the week. It
pleased the republicans very much
and it has unquestionably added to
the certainty they feel of carrying
> T "w York. It has deeply offended
both wings of the dembcittcic party
and the populists, and the opin
ion has been freely expressed by ex
perienced politicians that it will
spoil whatever political future Senator
Hill may have had.
The populists are" rather pleased at
the action of the Democratic National
Committee in closing the Washington
branch of its headquarters, which
hud been established for the purpose
of disseminating Bryan literature
among the newspapers, and concen
trating the work at Chicago. They
corfkider it a recognition of their con
tention, which they have stuck to
from the first, that the battle has got
to be won or lost In the middle
western states. The democrats only
say that the change was made be
cause it was found to be more con
venient to have the matter prepared
In Chicago; owing to their plates
being all made in that city, but
It appears to bo well understood as
an abandonment of the silver cam
paign in the east, so far as the Demo
cratic National Committee is con
cerned.
There are people who doubt : ho
wisdom of the Bryan managers in
^making such conspicucous use Bi ,-
larck’s letter to Cov. Culterbertson,
ITexus, expressing the opinion that
fdependent bimetallism will be if
good thing for the United States.
They say that most people who are
posted on the money question know
that Bismarck was responsible for
the demonetization of silver in Ger
many and the placing of that country
upon a gold basis, and that the gold
men will soon make that fact known
to all the voters in this country, and
that it will be certain to arouse
doubts of Bismarck’s sincerity by
showing that the advises us to do
what ho would not allow Germany to
do.
Chairman Butler, of the Populist
National Committee, says the report
that the populisms had made a formal
demand for the withdrawal of Sewall
in Wf.tson’s favor has no foundation.
He said further: “We are doing all
we can to unite the silver forces, and
would be glad to have then! unite
upon Mr. atson for Vice President,
but wo have not presented the mat
ter as a demand.”
“You pays your money and you
takes you choice.” Senator Elkins,
of West Virginia, staged in the most
positive terms wh lo he was in Wash
ington this week t\iat this state was
certain for McKinley by a majority
of not less than 12,(00, while Judge
Brannon,- of tho satio state, whose
opportunities for obaining political
Information ought v ,o be just as
good as those of Senaor Elkins, was
equally positive in assirting that the
state would bo carried ly Bryan.
It is claimed by the Secretary of
the Demmocratic Congnssionul Com
mittee that the checks ck'awn to the
order of Mr. Hayes, General Secre
tary-Treasurer of the vnights of
Labor, which have come very near
to causing a sonsationd scandal,
were drawn for legitimate purposes—
in paying for printing done for the
committe by tho K. of L ‘prinking
office in Washington. Ho jays there
wore two checks, one for .fl,000, and
one for - $800, and that ho has no
knowledge of any other payments'
to officials of the K. of L * by the
democratic committee.
North Carolina is not pul in the
McKinley column to any marked ex
tent since the news of tho fusion be
tween the democrats and populists of
the state reached Washington. Sena
tor Butler is credited with having
brought about this fusion, which
Seemed an improbability a few days
ago.
One of the most unique suits ever
brought in Washington is that of a
well known firm of Michigan seeds
men brought against tho Secretary
of Agriculture to prevent his enter
ing Into contracts for the purchase
of seeds for free distribution, under
tho acts of congress providing there
for. In askijig the courts to step in
and stop tho Secretary of Agriculture
from buying seed for free distribution
the counsel for th? Michigan linn of
ledsman say it would injure the
^ js of thoir client* for the gov-
.to give away seeds and claim
[ill bo a violation of tho con
stitution of the United States. Tho
free distribution of seeds by the gov
ernment is not a new thing by any
means, but this is the first time that
its right to do it has ever been ques
tioned.
Secret a r.y Edgerton, of the Populist
National Committee, lias shown that
the McKinley men haven’t a mo
nopoly of electing a President on
paper, by making public a table
which makes Bryan’s election as cer
tain as the table of Congressman
Grosvenor made the election of Mc
Kinley. Meanwhile both sides con
tinue to strive to make converts
among the voters.

Though Shoals, S. C., Sept. 28.—
My Aunt Miny is k good old woman
whose heart is ever overflowing jvith
tho milk of human kindnes and all
who need it are welcome to a cup
ful. Ucccnt!” when a nearly ex
tinct well (not a thousand miles trom
here) was being worked over Aunt
Miny inquired of the workman how
the work was progressing when he
replied “that he had blowed up the
vein.” “My goodness” said she, and
went and told Uncle John. Now
Uncle John being a Baptist, wanted
a good supply of water, and was
greatly troubled and said tho case
was hopeless unless they found
another well. Aunt Mirny further
called another neighbor woman and
confided to her her fears but consoled
herself with the consolation that if
they had ruined that one they could
dig another. Such is life. AVo are
always looking for tho worst and the
most of our troubles are about things
that never will or cannot possibly
happen. It is the unexpected that
always happens and my good old
aunt, dear old soul as she is, was
troubled over something that was
quite unnecessary.
Uncle Samuel is quite a curiosity
in his way. Ho runs an elevator and
got tired of furnishing tho boys in

urn ccriair., wi!' "over he hurt by tax
ation in any county unless they will
return their property at something
like its true value. I am no glutton
for a new county myself, but I don’t
like to see such thin excuses put for

to have it and who it will benefit. I
shall vote for it, anyway.

Fctitions are going the rounds this

Cowi’ENS, S. C., Sept, 2(5, 189(5.—
Having seen nothing lately in your
columns irom our little town. I will
give your readers a few points.
Notwithstanding the cry of hard
times and scarcity of money, our
town is showing some signs of pros
perity.
S. B. Wilkins has just completed
an elegant two story brick store which
is occupied by Garrison it Wilkins
with a nice line of general merchan
dise.
T. L. Bryant & Co. will open up a
stock of goods the first of next week
in the store lately vacated by R. R.
Brown and B. E. Wilkins has pur
chased the corner lot occupied by
John Smith, and moved the wooden
building off the corner, and will soon
have a large two story brick store In
its place which he will occupy this
winter.
The new buildings are quite an
improvement in appearance and con
venience.
The health of our town is pretty
good. Have had some cases of inter-t
mittent and some chills and fever on
the factory hill, but nothing serious.
The continued dry weather is caus
ing a scarcity of water and giving the
well diggers plenty to do. It has
also caused a failure in the turnip
crop. Farmers‘say their cotton is
all open and the crop about one-half. 1> You say.
Corn is short some but not so much.
Mr. Ed. Waters, who is building a
residence near here, had the misfor
tune to lose his plank kiln and G,000

HE TALKS “HOSS” SENSE FOR
ONE TIME.
He is Ten Times More LiaLle to be a
Fool Than a Wise Man But
He Argues Substantial
Facts This Time.
(Correspondence of Tho Ledger.)
Hit's a strange thing to me why
thinkin’ men can’t all see alike in
view of their interest along the same
line of thought. Take the new coun
ty for instance. Of course I am ten
times more liable to be a fool than a
wise man, since there are only about
.one-tenth of the male population of
today that you can call downright
wise men, but I’m goin’ to tell you
in my feeble way just how I look at
this here new county business.
Some men are new countyites and
some are anti-new countyites. In
plainer chat, some are in favor of a
new county an’ some are against it.
Now I jist wish you could explain to
me why this is. Ef it’s a benefit to
one it seems to me like it would ben
efit all, an’ ef it’s an injury to one
it’s an injury to all.
. I am for the new county. I done
made up my mind to that effect
“NO PLACE LIKE HOME.’
After a
fust
county—an’ I’ll
heard of
tell you
the
fer
good at-
an
long ago—when I
new
why
Ten years ago today, when money
was plenty and to spare, and cotton
ten cents, the farmer would go to the
woods an’ chop and sweat till he got
a load of wood chopped, then he
would load it up an’ drive by the
house an’ Nancy June would bring
out a basket of butter, basket of eggs
an’ about a dozen half-grown chick
ens an’put them on the wagon an’
off Bill would put to Gaffney—a few
ole wooden stores an’ about the same
number of dwellin’ houses an’ the
balance ole fields. He would sell his
two-horse load of wood for forty or
fifty cents, maby, an’ maby take it
b^ck home or throw it off an’ leave
it, an’ sell bis eggs at seven or eight
cents per dozen, an’ his butter at 8^
cents, an’ pay . about twice the
amount he has to pay now for the
same goods. Now you get 75 or 80
cents for a two-horse load of wood,
10 an’ 15 cents for eggs an’ 12$ to 20
cents for butter. “Well,” you say,
“no wonder, Gaffney is a bigger place
now than it was then, that’s the rea
son.” How much bigger would it he
ten years from today if we could
secure for it a new county an’ make
it the seat? And how much more
could we get for our wood an’ coun
try produce? I recollect of having
to pay one round silver dollar for
eight cordwood sticks in Charlotte,
an’ wood never sells for less than
three dollars a cord there, notwith
standing the good, level graded mac
adamized' roads, an’ I believe I’m
safe in sayin’ that ef you’ll take the
trouble to haul a cord of wood to
Spartanburg that you can get a dol
lar and seventy-live cents or two dol
lars for it. Tho bigger the population
the bigger the price you can com
mand fer your country produce.
The country js dependent on tho
town and the town on the country.
The consumers of a town are bound
to have country produce, while the
country people are bound to have
sugar, coffey, dry goods and sich
like. Help your market town to grow
and It will help you to thrive. You
see, one helps the other an’ visa
versa.
“We will haf to keep up
four sets of county officers instead of
three, an’ that will necessitate a
higher tax, an’—an’ we ain’t able to
stand no it.” Now let me say that
you have tho wrong opinion or me
one about that, an’ I’ll tell you for
,fhy. ’Bout all the officers git paid
by commission—a certain per cent,
of what they do. It will be four sets
of officers doin’ what three are doin’
now, an’ those who are working for
salaries won’t expect so much pay,
an’ those who are working for com
missions won’t git so much. It will
be three men’s wages divided out to
four. One man said to me in defense
of this argument: “I’d ruther have
only a few hogs an’ keep ’em fat as
to have a drove an’ them all too poor
to eat.” I says, says I, “I had too
ef it was me bad ’em to eat, but J
had druther have four men workin’
fer me than three ef they didn’t eat
no more than three, an’ would work
for the same that three had bin
workin’ fer.”
One man said to me l says he, “I
don’t see how you would be benefitted
any, even ef they do get the new
county. You ain’t got no real estate
in town.” “No,” says I, “ner in the
country, nother, so ferns that is con-<
cerned, but wherein it will benefit me
is^vAry plain fer mo to see. The town
will get bigger and work will in
crease. Good people, all sich rotten
arguments as this puts me in the
mind of a spiled aig in the gable end
of an incubrator—very anstumacha-
ble.”

Why Lord bless your soul, Colonel,
we would not move an inch from the

as near you as ever and you wouldn’t
loose a thing but a few dollars a year
in taxes and probably a few subscrip
tions and a little legal advestising for

generous enough to sacrifice a little
