The result of the balloting the people of this great country on ne: Tuesday will determine who is to I President of this country for the ne: four years. Everybody nearly is cale lating and guessing at the result. It a very difficult thing to approxinla with any degree of certainty. The d cision of most persons is made up a! biased by party at4iliations or person desires. Democratic newspapers ai voters predict the election of Clevelan With equal confidence do Republic newspapers and voters count on the su cess of Harrison.

If the Deniocr carry New York, we believe they a sure of victory. Without it we great doubt their ability to elect their non nees.

The corn crop of this country is ver short and it is therefore important t the farmers to plant the crop wic will take its place soonest. Trhis in ou judgment is barley. 1st, It will furnis] the earliest spring food. 2nd, It ripen before oats, and weighing necarly twvie as much, is much superior to t hat grainl 3rd. It produce(s more bushels to th acre than any other grain. Land tha will make 20 b.ushels of cornr will nmak, double that amount ini bariev. On th Pacific coast, notably in California,i is fed to horses in ireim ~nee to corn It is chopped for feedingr: one peek u this graiu being a full (days feed pe horse, and a liberal supply. We do no umean by this that farmers should sov' this grain to the exclusion of oats an<~ wheat or the planiting of cornfl, but w< need diversity of erops. We need 11 sow liberally of all small grin. It is: great satisfaction to a farmner to havy barns and cribs full and plenty of brea< stutfs on hand.

To the Democratic voters of the e Third Congressional District : Owing to the protracted session of rt Congress I was unable to visit you e during the recent campaign for State d and county officers, as was my purpose h and desire to do. We are now almost upon the eve of - the Presidential election-the result of which is of more vital interest to the South than any other section of the Union. If Harrison and Morton should be elected and the Republicans 1 secure control of the next House of )f Representatives, every Democratic -t Congressmnan from South Carolina who has any opposition would be unseated, notwithstanding the fact that they :t would hold the certificate of election. t- The Republicans assume that every is negro voter in the State is a Republh ts can, and the census of ISSO furnishes all warrant they require for giving every e contested seat to the Republican con d testauts. 1 It is certain that in some of the mid dIe and all of the lower counties of the State, the Republicans have registered a. rlmost to a man, and an active politi tn cal still hunt is now going on there c- Do not conclude from the fact that such is not the case with us, that there is nc need for activity on your part, and sc r. stay away from the polls next Tues w day. You cannot afford in a matter of t so great importance to take any risk: whatever. Your heaviest possible vot( - may be required, along with that o1 al the upper counties of the State, to off b- set the possible majority of the lowe ill country. The exercise of your right of suffrage ts is both a privilege and duty, and the re neglect of it, where disaster comes froir ly defeat, is nothing short of a crime. The members of Congress from Sout Carolina are often twitted with the meagreness of the votes by which the3 w are elected, from 4,000 to 6,00) vote. usually, whilst the number of votes it is each Congressional district is not fai short of 30,000, including both races. ts It is due to your Representatives, i tS in your judgment they deserve it, t< is have the indorsement at the polls o 1 every Democratic voter in their re spective districts. )n Turn out then, my fellow-citizens ut turn out en masse on next Tuesday tv and exercise the right and privileg and sacred duty of freemen. le "The price of liberty is eternal vigi ty lance." yr Respectfully your friend and fellow citizen, J.

[Special to Columbia Register.] AN I)EasoN, October 2.5.--The cases of of the State against Mrs. Mollie Keese t o for forgery and two for arson-were alled in the Court of General Sessions to-day. The dlefense stated that as a material witness ini one of the forgery *ass was absent, they could not go to tria; so the Judge cont inued the case. The Solicitor then stated that, as ae cordingV to his theory the arson case gre out of the forgery, and as it had been continued. he would ask the Court tocontnue- them also. Major Murray and Mr. T.

October 24, 16. Mr. W. A. Hill, Dear Sir:-Our ob ject is not controversy but information. We regret that your reply is not satis- r factory, since it does not give the in- e formation which we seek. The only t object of our communication was to 1 ascertain whether you referred to any of the undersigned as "irresponsible vouchers." We learn from your letter that you c are not the author of the resolutions, but you fail to tell us who is or if you s did not know him to tell us who p laced c them in your hands. We desire to know the author. He applies the term 1 irresponsible to all who vouched for I negroes voting at the late primary elee- a tion and we take the position that lie is e the only one who can tell what he I meant by the objectionable language used, unless you, after knowing who e the vouchers are, mean to apply the t term to some or all of themn. If you do, i say so; if you refer to all say so, but if I only to some of then, state which onies. You frankly state that you (id not t know at the time who the vouchers were or anything of the truthfulness of I the charge against them. Considerable I time has since elapsed, you have had t opportunity to investigate the matter and are now probably ready to make the t decision whether there is any founda tion in fact for the charge. Hlence this secon d letter of inquiry to obtain the informa- t tion which you have and which may enable us to learn from theauthor.hinn self to whorl he referred, and what he I meant by the words "irresponsible I vouchers." We know you can give us 4 the desired information in part, to wit: Who placed the resolutions in your hand? We also know that "equal < and exact justice" to all men as well as t your "integrity, truthfulness. and hon- 1 esty of purpose" demands of you iii unequivocal answer. We are unwilling to believe that you will evade our question, or that you will knowingly do injustice to any of vaur fellow-citizens, niuch less your friends. We cannot believe that you 1 will deliberately refuse to impart to 1 your friends under so grave and false a charge information which justice to yourself as well as to them calls inipera tively upon you to disclose. If the atu thor be one of those "reputable and trustworthy citizens referred to in your letter he certainly has too rmuch nan hood and love of justice to hide behind you after you have disclaimed any knowledge of the truthfulness of the charge made. Now, in conclusion, we wish to re mind you that we are called im the resolutions "irresponsible vouchers" and it is to this particular charge that we are attempting to direct your at tention. We have nothing to do with the other charges, as none other can refer to us. Trusting that you will not hesitate to comply with our most reas onable request, we are, Yours respectfully, T. E.

I had hoped for the sake of peace, and the good of tile Democratic party, that this thing was done with. But in justice to myself, I 1feel it my ;duty, as the God-father of those resolutions, to shirk no responsi biity, attaching to them. And I am now determined to sift this matter to the bottom. The people of Newberry County shall know if there is any vir tue in~those resolutions. If it is true, that any of you did vouch for Republi can negroes as Democrats I arn the mall who says thlat such a voucher is an "irresponsible voucher." I would not knowingly misrepresent or do an injustice to anyone. But the truth wvill triumph. The truth must come. Those resolutions must stand or fall, on their Itruthfulness or untruth fulness. If un true, I am not the mian to- charge any of yogentlemlen with being "?rrespon sible vouchers." If untrue, I am not the man to bolster up miisrepresenta tionl and inljustice against moy friends and fellow-citizens. But I should feel less than a man to comply with your "most reasonlable request." Hoping gentlemten that this wvill be satisfactory for the present, I remainl yours respect fully. W. A. Hiu. EIGHT MILLIONS. The Price Paid for Control of thie Georgia1 Central. NEw YoRK, Oetob'er 28.--The first paynti for tile Georgia company stock was mlade to-dlay by the oticials of the Rlichmiond Terminal comIpanly. I The commnittee hlas not vet completed arrageents for the transfer. but will probably do so to-mlorrowy. The G;eor gia comlpanly was organized by a syn dicate headed by H. B.

The t llowing is their full text: Io (osNo, CAL., Septebil er 4, 1888. 'o the British Minister, Washington, ti ). C.-Sir: The gravity of the politi- p al situation here and the duties of those oters who are of English birth, but till consider England the mother land a otstitute the apology 1 hereby offer for atruding for information. Mr. Cleve and's message to Congress on the ishery question justly excites our alarm id compels us to seek further knowl- < (ge before finally casting our votes for of il as we had intended to do. Many nielishi citizens have for years refrain d frein being naturalized, as they hought no good would accrue from the et; but Mr. Cleveland's administration ias been so favorable and friendly to vard England, so kind in not enforcing lie retalitory act passed by Congress, so ound on the free trade question and so tostile to the dynamite school of Ire- e and that by the hundreds- yes, by the g housands-they have become natur- c lized for the express purpose of helping l oelect hii over again, The one above tl 111 of American politicians they con- ti ider their own and their country's best sl riend. I am one of these unfortunates ti vith a right to vote for President in tl s ovemuber. I am unable to understand t 'r whom I shall east my ballot, when U )tt one month ago I was sure Mr. ;leveland was the man. If Cleveland s vas pursuing a new policy toward Can tla temporarily only, and for the sake f, >f outaining popularity and continua ion of his otlice four years more, but in- r ends to cease his policy when his re- y lection is secured in November, and - gain favor England's interest, then I j lhould have no further doubts, but go I orward anl vote for him. I know of | .o one better able to direct me, sir, and 12 [ most respectfully ask your advice in 3 he matter. I will further add that the t wo men, Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Har- ! -isonl, are very evenly matched, and a few votes niay elect either one. Mr. H-arrison is a high tarifl man, a believer a m the Amnerican side of all questions, a md undoubtedly an enemy to British y uterests generally. This State is equal- t iv divided between the parties, and a e aere handful of our naturalized cotut- t Lrvmen can turn it either way. When it is remembered that a small State (Col- 5 )rado) lefeated Mr. Tilden in 1876 and iected Hayes, the Republican the in- t portalce of California is at once appar nttoall. t As you are at the fountain head of e knowledge on the question, and know j whether M r. Cleveland's present policy . is temporary only, and whether he will, y is soon as lie secures another term of t four years in the Presidency, suspend it c for one of friendship arid free trade, I : apply to you urivately and confiden tiallv for information, which shall, in y turn, be treated as entirely secret. Such information would put me at rest muy self, and, if favorable to Mr. Cleveland, nable me, on my own responsibility, to assure many of our countrymen that they would do England a service by voting fer Cleveland and against the depublican system of tariff. As I before observad, we know not what to do, but look for more light on a mysterious sub- t ject, which the sooner it comes will t better serve the Englishmnan in easting< their votes. Yours very respectfully, -.1 'cri.: MiNlsTrEn's REPLY. JPrivate.1 1 Si u: I anm ini receipt off your letter of the 4th instant, and beg to say that I fully appreciate the difficulty in which you find yourself in casting your vote. You are probably awvare that aay poli tical party which openly favored the mother country at the present moment fat. The party, howvever, is, I believe,1 still desirous of maintaining friendly relations with Great Britain, and is1 still as desirous of settling all questions - with Canada which have been unfortu nately reopenedl since the rejection of 1 the treaty by a Republican majority in the Senate andl by the President's message, to which you allude. All alloances must, therefore, be made for the political situation as regards the I presiential election thus created. It is,, however, imp)ossible to predict the rourse which President Cleveland may pursue in the mmatter of retaliation should lie be elected, but there is every reasoni to believe that, while' upholding lhe position lie has taken, he wvili ~ maifest a spirit of conciliation in dea ling with the question involved in his message.

[News and Courier, October 27.1 The publication in The News an jourier yesterday of a telegram froi Cew Haven, Connecticut, stating thi )aniel Hand, of Savannah railroa arne, had given $1,000,000 of his harn arned wealth to trustees to be devote o the education of colored childreu i he South, revives interest in a fina *ial romance that made sonme stiri tay, 1887. It revives pleasant recz etions of the late wvar. In tile di atch mention is-made of the conne ions of Mr. George W. Williams, tI lillionaire banker of Charleston, wit ir. Hand. A reporter called on M Vlliamis yesterday and, calling hisa ention to the dispatch in question sked hinm what he knew of the Han equest. Mr. Wiliams was too busy to tal ention to give a illionof'domars he education of the colored people he South. He approved the noble b 1est, but wished him to leave it as M eabody had done, for the education he children of the South, irrespecti' f race, religion or color. "What about Mr. Hand's flight froi harleston and leaving with you as hi onfidential clerk $130,000'."' ask the r orter. "I don't care to speak of that," sai hr. Williams, "it may revive the 'R nance of Finance' again." WHERE MR. WILLI A MS sTARTED. "Is it true that you were the coni lential clerk of Mr. Hand at the be inn ing of the late wvar ?" "No, it is not true. J will mierely sa hat just fifty years ago I landed in Ar ;usta, Ga., a boy of 19 years of age, fror ryNacoochee home, and was emiploye y Mr. Hand as clerk in hlis establisl aent at asalary ol $50per annumi. A' he age of 21 1 became a full partner< ir. Hand, and remained in businer a Augusta until 1852. I removed thn 'ear to Charleston, arid established th ouse of Geo. W.

In the mneanttime e war raged in all its fury. Eacl ction passed tile Sequestration Act 'indinig that Mr. Hand's interest ould be confiscated I requested hi nmediate return to Charleston. Fail gto get through the lines at Baltimror< Washington, Mr. Hand took th< Jesterni route. On arriving at Ne' reans he wvas arrested as a spy. e telegraphed my partner, Mr, HI .H olingsworth, an d Governor Moort >uching for Mr. Hand's integritv. "I keep most of rmy business letter id dispatches, arid on looking ove: y books I find the following, which iexplain themselves." ARRESTED FOR A SPY. Mr. Williams thereupon produced t b4 lowing dispatches, all of tile date o: oveber 14, 1861: H. P. H-ollingsworth, care John E vde & Co., New Orleans: Will -o.j ease enloy able counIsel for I1r. and, and see that he has every comi rt and p)rotectioni. I have telegraphed avernor Moore. Geo. WV.

I think we n establish that he is not a Lincoln v. Geo. W. Williamls. MR. IIAND) IN LIBBY PRISON . M. Hand, Mr. Williamisevplained, is a brother of Daniel Hand. Con iuing, hie said: 'I tially succeeded in getting Mr. md out of prison in New Orleanis. but was ordered, under guard, to Rich >.d, Va., then the seat of the Con lerate Goiternenrt. WXhile passing rough Augusta, Ga., his old home, mayor, who was his friend, had to id Mr. Hand to jail to keep hini out the hands of a mo10..

YING TO CONFISCATE IUls PROPETTY. 'In the mieantimea vigorous suitwars menced in Charleston to sequaes te Mr. Hand's interest in the firm of arge W. Williams &;Co. I had subse mliereturned Mr. Hand' interest in the firm at a cost of more tha- a quarter of a million dollars to me. At the end of a week's contest the suit ended in Mr. Hand's favor, and his interest in our firm was thus saved from confiscation. As South C'arolina wa+s not a comfortable home for one suspec ted of Union sentiments, Mr. Hand decided to leave the South, never to re turn, HOW .\it. W11.LI.1- SAvED 11Is PRO IwrY. Before leaving, however, lie con fided all of his inter,sts in the South to me, to be held and managed as my own, and in case of further attempts at con fiscation to be regarded as my indivi dual property. The real estate was all in my name. The interests thus confid ed to inc had the same care, and were managed as my own. I ai gratified to know that of Mr. Hand's fortune of more than two million dollars one million that I saved for him has been returned to the South, to be held as a perpetual fund to educate the colored people. "I did hope to get from Mr. Hand a subscription for ou-r new hotel of half a million dollars. He wrote me that he was now too old and infirm to engage in new enterprises."
