C. Thursday. September 14. : 18943 (CONGRESS could repe.l the ten per cent tax on Stite banks in a very few days, end its affect would b- felt in less than two weeks. WE should be glad if some one of the banks in the State Ehould make a fight on the constitutionality of the right of Congress to impose a tax of ten per cent on State Banks. It is true that the question was brought before the Unitea States Supreme Court in 186G, bat this was just after the war and at a time w henu the - Supre me Court was componed princi pally of ien who were followcrs of the school of Loose Consh uction. lie comp'ex of the court is omiewhat different now, aid as the %n-tiu10ftion ality a-f the law has been doubted by nmany eninent lawyers, and cven when it was upbeld it was by a di vided court, it i8 possible that the decision in Yeazle Bank vs. Fenno would be overruled. This decision was quite a departure from first princi ples. It would be a 2ood thing for the country if we should return to first principles in many respects. A WORD FROM MR. JEFFARES. Mr. Editer: Some time last spring I i' ote an ai cle for your paper and spoke in commendable terms of ex Senator Wade Hampton, ia cor 'tec~ion with the Railroad Commissioner's office. Not long thereafter some one wrote a communication from th'is sec tion headed Fragmnts ?'om Feaste': lie and signed "S'ck Til1lmar;'e,"; and also postscripted his first article by saying, "B trrab for Hampton !" That's all r'aht. I can say the same, and still remain a Icyal Tillmanite. At that tinme I was afraid somre of your many ieader~s would be impressed with the idea that I wrote the article above mentioned. Being prompted by a patrioile motive io put myself aright before the public, I wrote a card in which I stated that I wes not the author of the letter signed "Sick TIll manite." In your last weekly issue t'1ere is ano'.her commenication headed and signed as above muentioned, and postscrip'ed "Bob Jefibares did not write this." Now, I will say tlis much by way of inquiry. I wou'd like to know whetler or not in h's fi-'st or last tem munication he inter ded *o slur me in any way for speakirg in enlogistic. ter~ms of Hampton, or did ho seek to put me in tbe attitude of one who has proven recreant to the Tillmaa faction.< If he did he has fallen far: short of his expecta: ions, for no one in this corn munity for one moment atiributd the authorship of that sick Tillmanite < le~ter to myself. IE that was his in- < tention, I will say tl's much in reply. 1 He says himself that oar financial troubles might be atitribtuted t.o a lack I of confidence. Yes, in place of seek ing~ to misrepresent me, he might haveC apnropriately ererted I s influenr I and intellectual faculties to restore that so much needed confidence. I am - not a sick Tillmanite whenever I fail to be a follower of Gov. Tillman.. I shall adher e to the principles of 1 economy enunc'ated in the platform I u'non which T~I'man was elected. 1 That man has a perfect right to write I a piece and sign it as he pleases. He wvrtes as if he was a Tillmanite and signed as if he was not. Hew incon- I sistent's3 the composition'-and signa ture of his recent letter. Will won ders never cease! I belong to the Al liance, but I cannot suggest the dis- 'l pensation of Congress and the substi tution of the Alliance therefor. We b have our representatives in that e august ]egislative assembly who are I to~iay voic'og the sentiments of the c Allianice. They are men who are not S afraid to contend for the rights of the great mass of Ameiican workmen who are working day in and day out, yea!l year in and year out, and who receive as compeusation a mere pittance not sufficent to support their families who it are dearer to them than gold itself- a Do these men think all that is lacking n is confidence? No! No! Go to them C in their wretched condition an:1 they E will tell you that they have got conti- CI dence in any man's ability to pay them te when he has a suffcient amount of al money with which to properly conduct his bus'ness. Yes, I say we have men in Congress who have been making speeches on the nancial problem, -the deliverance bi of whichwould have been received by of the c:apitalists with the greatest cen- ' sure five years ago. They are men of ci ability who have led lives hitherto ci exemplary and remarkable for their tI. simplicay; but they have .kunched gi forth into the arena of public discus- f sion to contend for the rights of the honest people of this country. They" will not tell you that all that is neces sary to bring about prosperity is to re store confidence among the people. What a misapplication of that great word confidence. It sounds like some of th entene Tom Jteed used in Highest of all in Leavening Pow ABSOUA nakin his recent speech in Congress. Can ite that this dissatisfied friend of ours is going to turn his back on the reform moveient and take up the dilatory tacties of obstruction that Ir. R1eid so often uses to obstruct legislation? I hopenot. Letforward, narch, be our battle crv until we get relief from our p: esent finlancial troubles. Now, Mr. Editor, it occurs to ie that the signatures and postscripts of these lelte: s that I have mentioned ws intended to slur me, or either to ast an insinuatiion at ie inl soeic way. If he did intend such, 1, in a cou:-teous nanner, demand his in' mue to his next ariele so that I may know to whom I al to reply ; and it lie (Pd not mealn such lie can signify the saire by re aining neutral concerning what I aim writingf about. PerhapsaImr mistaken about the construction of his letter; if so I apologize for writing as I have written. I have no desirc to inflict a wound on any man's feelings without a just provocation; neither do I want any one to p'ace me in a false attitude. ROnT. It. JEFFARES. Feasterv.lle, S. C., September 8. 1IDGXEWAY GOSSlP. IDGEWAY, S. C., Sept. 12.-Since my last, the only matter of interest (which is certainly a matter of the reatest interest and importance to our town and State) is, the determi nation oin the pact of our1 Citizens to have a ir:t elass school here. On WedrnesdIay ni::t a tueeting was held ad, O the mauter !reelv and lully di us-ed. Thiere w re, we uinderstan, b re ap plica::, or tie positioni of nincital and two for ::seistant, re ulti-g in he elcection of Mr. I. A. Meares as principal and Miss Ruth Simpson, (a daughter of the late J. A. Simpson, who was a resident ot our town,) as assistant. A subscription list was opened and some two hundred and thirty odd dollars subscribed. Of course there are others who were not at the ineting whose subscriptions will add considerably to the amount subscribed at the meeting. Now, as the ball is set in motion, we hope the trustees will keep it moving-that the school district Will e enlarged and a special tax levied, vhich, together with the amrount of ubcriptions anid the public fund, ill enable Ridge way to boast of a first class school, which will run some nine or teni :nonths. With this as urancc, families will move in, trade e increased, the valtie of property nhanced, and the risi:-g generaiioni repared to discharge the duties which, ooner or later, must n.ecessarily deC olve upon thein. The writer, with many others, haid the pleasure of listening to anr ad iable kcciure Sunday night on the 1:-imp~rtant subject of fmale e luca (io. As4 was" wen la by Lin e Iiev dr.
