_ t ;ELBERI' II. AULLL. Proprietors. WM. P. H0USEAL. 0 NEWBERRY. S. C. THUR: )AY MAY 1, 1890. THE SUB TREAS'RY BILL. The bill now before Congress known v as the sub-treasury bill is attracting 1 some attention at this time. Judge d Cothran has published a Aetter to his s constituents explaining the features of ( the bill and giving his reasons for not c favoring the scheme. We will publish f: this letter in our next issue. V We oelieve that the Farmers' Alli- v anee of New berry has passed a resolu- ( tion endorsing the scheme. We have r not read the bill carefully. but from i what we know of its provisions we t cannot see where it will benefit the far- N mer of the South, even if it were to be- i come a law, then besides that there is c great doubt whether it is constitutional. I judge Cothran thinks the bill uncon- t stitutional. t There are two bills before Congress, r one in the Senate and one in the t House, looking to the same end. Judge Cothran says: "The bills pro- t vide for the storage in warehouses of a all kinds of farm products which are t suitable for storage and shipment, and E not of an immediate perishable nature. ] These warehouses are to be built all c over the country at an estimated ex- c pense, to be borne by the Government, of somethinglike $50,0O'Y 0. Upon the products so stored certificates shall be issued by the Government, and to the amount of SO per cent. of the value of the articles so stored the Government I shall lend to the holders of these certi- ] ficates or receipts money at the rate of t I per cent. per annum." These seem to be the main features of tbe bill, and the idea of borrowing i money at 1 per cent. has no doubt f taken possession of some of the advo- < cates of the measure without stopping 1 to think much more on the question. i It would be making out of the < Government a banking institution. 1 Millions of dollars would be spent in building warehouses. Salaried officers < would have to be employed by the 1 Government. As Judge Cothran says, common sense. sound reason, and good 1 judgment, are just as necessary in the management of the affairs of govern ment as they are in conducting a farm, a store, or a bank. The Government has a debt in round numbers of 1,400 million dollars, upon which it is paying an interest of from : to 4 per cent. per onnum. What sort of business sense would it be called 1 that would borrow money at 3 and 4 per cent., and then lend it at 1 per] cent. The farnurs of the country are the main stay and support of the Govern ment, and when they come to think of I this matter seriously we do not see how] they can favor it. At the same time we would be pleased to have some of these who favor the bill to give their reasons therefor. WVe would be glad to 1 in full in next week's Herald and1 News. "USE AND) ABUSE OF THE BOYCOTT." 'We publish elsewhere under this I heading a timely, conservative and sensible article f.tom the Greenville News. This is a time we need to have conservative men, reasonable men, to speak out and show the folly of ex-1 treme measures. We need more toler ation with the opinion of one another honestly and sincerely formed and ex-t pressed. "What honest man would respect or tolerate a man who would fear to say what he thinks right, and say and teach what he believes is I wrong to put or keep a few dollars in his pocket?"s The action of certain Alliances in boycotting the newspapers that do not ( agree with their way of thinking is an effort to prevent free speech, or to pun-t ish it or both, as the Greenville News e suggests.t "United we stand, divided we fall." We need to pull together while we can, t. decide what differences we havei with mutual toleration, good humor, ~ and respect, and to work heartily to-C gether for the general good. Toleration 5 of differences of opinion is absolutely necessary in every civilized and free a community. Anything else is barbar isnm and tyranny." We are glad to know that the notice t we received from those eight members E of thbe St. Paul's Alliance to stop their paper was not the official action of the ~ Alliance, but wvas simply tbe action of ' the individuals themselves in their in dividual capacity. An effort to pass I such a resolution by the Alliance, we C are reliably informed, was tabled. 'We f are glad of this, because we are glad to r know that the spirit of liberty and fair play prevailed ini this Alliance. TH E STRENGTH OF THE ALLIANCE. The Alliance in South C'arolina has C growvn to be a v'ery strong organization, a andl is still growing. We take the fol 1l>wing tigaures from the (Cotton Plant, t which shows the mnembership of the a Alliance in this State as shown by the reports to thec State Secretary for the - quarter end in g Decemuber :;1st. 1589: t No. maile. n:emi--rs over : yeatrs old. .935 s unider..--.-......... 536 I We publiish this week the full pro esedim:ts of the Woodward-Jones-Sinms F'armers' Convention held in Columbia a last week. T wenty-three counties were represented. T'hey issued an address which is also published. We cannot see the use or the nteed of their Conven' tion and: it will not amount to much. ('ol. I-:tgene B. Gary, of Abbeville. is a caudidate for Attorney General, and hi~loes to get in on the Trillman ticket. The Abbeville Medium comes out in an editorial in the last issue strongly enIdorsingt his candlidacy. Th'ie New York World says that Mr. I Cleveland did not say. the rough thingst about 2'Ir. Dana that its reporter put in his mouth in an imterview either real or suposed. Captain Shell, Cenairr'iai of the Till iai Campaign l .iiuiittee, was in ;reenville last week and stated that he ad called a meeting of his committee be held in (oluibia on M ay 2nd, to rrange plans for Mr. Tillman's cam aign. lie thought the second place n the ticket would likely go unfilled. The March Convention-Its Necessity. To the Editor of The Herald and ews:-The Convention of Farmer-4 hich met in Columbia in March last, iet for the purpose of selecting a can idate for Governor, whose name iould be presented to the Democratic onvention for that position. This xurse was necessitated because of the ct that it was apparent that unless it as settled beforehand that there ould be a number of names before the onvention, and in that way the far iers would divide their strength, and erhaps be defeated, when, if united, be contrary would be the result. It is ell that this course was adopted, for is apparent froni the fuss niade by utsiders, that by so doing the farmers ave scored a victory, and the opposi ion feels that the day is lost to them inless they can put something in aotion to dissatisfy the farmers with he action taken. It is really and truly the old fight of he University against the Agricultural .nd Mechanical College-the latter was hought to be dead when it was appar ntly defeated at the session of the Aegislature of 1887, its friends had been lefeated at that session "horse, foot and tragoons," and the University men vere jubilant, but on the death of Mr. lemson there was a change, and the upposed corpse was resurrected and as given new life, but there is a hance to defeat the college yet, or at east to strip it of its strength. If a egislature should be elected opposed o it this will be done, or even v'ith a egislature favorable to it if a Governor hould be elected opposed to it lie night veto any appropriation made or its support. Then, farmers, watch losely, and do not allow yourselves to ie used to defeat your own chosen nterests. Iu. Mr. Tillman you have me who is tried and true, one devoted o your interests. He is a successful armer, he is true to all of your inter rsts, lie has the courage of his convic ions, he is a tried and true Democrat f the '76 type, and he is an honest nan. Let not your enemies divide tour ranks by bringing distrust be ;ween you and him, for just so surely ts you do your cause and your interests ill suffer thereby. SEv ENTV-SIX. Tillman Democratic Club Formed at Prosperi ty. A meeting of citizens was called at he Farmers' Alliance Warehouise on aturday evening at 5 o'clock for the >urpose of organizing a Democratic lub favoring the MIarch (onvention und the election of B. R. Tillman Gov rnor. The meeting was called to order y W. D. Hardy, who nominated S. B. iathami, Esq., as'chairmnan, pro tem., ~nd Prof. E. J. Browne as temiporary ecretary. The secretary then proceeded to en ohl the names of persons who were in ympathy with the movement, and iames of 34 persons were enrolled-in luding some by proxy-representing 'ownships 9 and 10. On motion of W. D. Hardy the tem >orary officers were made permanent >fficers. MIr. W. D. Hardy then offered the ollowing preamble and resolutions: WHEREAs, certain newspapers in his State have asserted tbat the farm rs were opposed to the holding of the ~Iarch Convention, and have de ou nced the advocates of that conven ion as Independents. Therefore, be it Resolved, That wve approve the hold ng of the MIarch Convention and en [orse its action. 2. That we pledge ourselves to w ork or the nomination of Capt. B. R. Till nan for Governor.* 3. That the conduct of the Univer ity students towards the convention va's disgraceful and shows a want of iscipline on the part of the authorities f the University. 4. That we respectfully suggest to he Executive Committee of the Farm rs' Association that future conven ions be held in some other 'place than olunmbia. 5. That we denounce the charge that re are Independents as a slander; and, a our opinion, the charge is made to efeat the measures d reform we are ontending for, and to seep in office a et of men who are not in sympathy ith the masses. 6. That the action of Governor Rich rdson, in refusing to exhibit to the ommittee of citizens from Lexington 'ounty the records on file in his office, San unwvarrantable assumption of an bority, and deserves the censure of very good citizen. The resolutions were considered sep rately. The first and second passed ithout a dissenting voice. The third, owever, elicited a warm discussion, )r. Wyche and Pro!. Browne strongly posing it. Mfr. F. V. Capers then of ~red an amendlment, which makes the esolution (third) read thus: "That the conduct of the university tudents wvas disgraceful and we conl emin the faculty for passing over the iatter so lightly." The amendment met with the same pposition, but wvas finially passed as mended. Resolution fourth met wvith opposi on, but was favored by the miajority iid )assed. N.umber * passed without debate. Cumber 6; brought some gentlemien to eir feet, but by the timely advice and lggestion of MIajor D)e Walt, and S. IB. 2atham, Esgs., MIr. Hardy withld rewv b ent ire resolution. At this stage 3Maj. D)eWalt was lected p)resident, and .John B. Fellers reasurer of the club. A committee, consistng of the presi enit, vice-pres5idenIt andl secretary, was ppointed to draft a set of rules and by its for the goveanmient of thbe club, nd to report at the next meeting. The meeting then adjourned, to meect gain at the samie place on Saturday efore the 4thi Stunday in M1ay, unless rlier called by the president. Prosperity, A pril 26, 1890.

We find in several 1ew"paitrr r. ports of the action of -ub Alliance by which it is declared in etleet that certxin newspapers naled have lroved themselves hostile to the puirlo-c t the Farmers' Asso-iatiotn andI the n iniination of Mr. Tillian, the- n(1t,'r of those sub Alli.:n,ej pht"- " t ho ni selves to cease from takin, tho-( ww papers and to take a:n read ~tiwr which inure nearly e xpres their sIai nients.

Mr. I'owderly, Grandt Master Wtrk inai of the Knights of LIabor. said (nwe that the bovett is too tine a towl to I( trusted to utiskilled hands. le inight have said with truta that it is toi dangerous to be used freely anl that its use is justihied only in rate, trgeint and deadly emergelncies. It is a da:ily weapon. Its use is like muans!:intdui r which the law perniits whein it in abso lutely necessary for self-defence, but wisely and justly forbids and ptunishes t in any other circumstance. In 1ic79 when the people of this State were making a desperate lght for their lives and property and the safety and] honor of their families they used ihe boycott etii:etively and twell, atd h:ad the right to do it. On occasions in I re land when it was a conflict of life and death and the people were defending their humble homes and the food for their children's mtouthts the boycott ha:s been used with the approval of all the civilized world. In this State now, however, there i a contest between opposing eletents of one great party. There is no question of life or death or welfare or injury in volved. Every sane mian knows that whether Tillian or some other I)eno crat is made Governor the publie peace will be maintained, law and order will prevail and we will all be left to inake our livings and prosper as Awe can nt security and quietness. In lthes( cir cuustances there is no reason or excuse for the use of the boycott. What is the object of resolutions such as those we have referred to, I.ed by the sub Alliances?. They are intended to irevent or pun ih, or both. They c:m have no other purpose, although we doubt if one tnitan -in a dozen of those who vote for theit considers the meaning of his vote and the action it helps to produce. They are to prevent the editors I against whom they are directed froni expressing their honest sentitientls if tbose sentinients are against those held by the sub Alliances. Yet what honest man would respect or tolerate a miat who would fear to say what he thinks right and say and teach what lie be lieves is wrong to put or keep a few dollars in his pocket' Men are to be punished, for what? For speaking their sentiments aind thoughts like honest and manly nien, using their rights as free Aitericaa citizens and doing their duty as repre sentatives of a free press. If I lie avowed p)urpose of these sub Alliar.ces shottid be generally accepted and all other sub Alliances and citizens should follow their exampljle these niewspapern ineni would be starved out. The bread wonuldt be taken fronm therni and their wives and childlren and they would be set away, forced to go somewhere else to earn~ their livings. They wvoulud lie punished1 as the glorious men were pun)iished w~ho it) old times were seint into exile, thrust front their hoites aind into stranige counatries because cow ardice did not stifle the irs.turdy voices pg te,iconsciences iitove i thetnt love of peace. That is the kind oif thing it is pro posedl to establish in this free counitry and this freedom loving State (of Soutih Carolina in this year of grace 1890i . We n ust all be forced to thinuk alike. Men charged with the highest putblic duties and the most sacredt respontsibil.i ties mniust Cringe andio dodge and swal low their honest beliefs and adopt the beliefs of somebody else oit pain of being boycotted by sub-Alliances, pun ised, starvedl and driven away! We bappen to know a ruan who has made large wealth by hard anid honest work and the use of his brains aind who has so used what hte has as to iake it a benefit to every commrunity wvithi which lie was connected aind a blessing to scores and hundreds of the pooir. Hie has never unduly pushed a dlebtir, he has worked hard antd earntestly to pro mote the public wvelfare, his piocket ha:s been wide open to help every good wvork, e has helped hundreds to tide over. bad times and gaitn prosp'erity and there is not a spot oin his life. Yet lie cause he differed from certain oIf his fellowv citizens in a purely business matter concerning his private ahlairs a forr'al attempt was niadle to bioiyeitt him and there was a deliberatte efirt to break down his business aind destroy hiltn.

TIH Ei 311ISSSIPPI FLOOD. rent Torrent- of Wvater Break Through thel- 31i.ieiupi River Levees and Spread Itain Over Fertile Fieldp. r.:w (ni..:, April '.-The meitnl -I1m'mo trat's Bayon Sara special :V: \esterday nlorning an early tait was made fram thecrevasses up lie river. The day was a beautiful me, and the trip, though somewhat trduotis at times, has been much less o thanti was expected, and the trip has ieent far tromt an unpleasant one. llere are no less then ten crevasses in 'oin1t Coulee levee front, but there are wo that conldetely overshadow the tliers in magnitude and importance. he other eight seeml hardly worth ,tentioning, though each, wl*n seen .y itself, makes a very striking picture. Starting fron Bayou Sara, the first revasse on the opposite side of the river is about a mile below the town > the Taylor place. It broke early Monday m'orning. It is a very mode rate-sized levee, and the break is some 2n1 teet wide. The next is a smaller teak on the Taylor place about a half mile up the river. About 4r) yards Curtler up the river is another break on ihe Pecan place. 'T'hen comes a long retch of unbroken leeves, but about six miles further up the river is the 1'aniy lichie crevasse, which is of a Iore formidable character thanthose elow it. 1lere the volume of water is u me six feet deep and over 400 feet wile. The current is very swift and =els a ro:lrintg, ragged-looking cataract lhr ugh the break, tearing through the ,rove of Pecan and live oaks that ;tadl just behind the levee. The back water spreads out in a vast lake that louches the swamps and meets the .tchafalaya overflow. There are many houses and cabins standing in the path If the llood, but as yet few if any have been washed away. Ilow far the water from this break has been instrumental in flooding the ountry it is impossible to determine, for as tllumed that even had the low levee been held the water from the upper lreak w,uld have been here by this time, and the flooding of these plantat ions has only been a question of a few days at the furthest. As it is, the whole river fromlt the point below Tay or's to old River, if not now under water, will be so soon. A great deal of K(tock has bee'n taken out, but much more must be removed or lost in a very short t:me. Ahbout three miles up the river frotm the l"a;ine Rtiche crevassee comes a smil l bik on the Stonewall place ireva554e about six or seven feet deep :hun (ne hiund(red and iifty feet wide. 7i1organza/2 proper is about five miles t ill further up the river, but it is not the Irganz-i break that caused the panie when MIr. Glynne telegraphed that 31lorga nz/a had gone. That break was iln what is known as the new Tensas land'ing levee system and is a mile further up the river than the great crevasse of Pointe Coupee. The revasse at this new Morganza is about 5.:t i feet w ide, carrying inland over over 150o,fl00 cubic feet of water per seond. This upper break, which was the first o the lig onies, is about seven hundrea feet wide and fourteen feet deepi. This b-eak is right in the path of the great oranza crevasse that has now be 'oe a feature of the State history, and atture, betwveen it and the bank of the iver', distinctly shows the path of the destruc'tive 11lood at that time. Tim ber (in t he Bat ture wvas destroyed or wept awvay, and in the years interven ig the growth of young trees in its :banel has been light and scattering. he vast volume of wvater wears the break ini a smooth, shining torrent that swells in the centre as if gathering fore for its mad plunge. There is hardly ipiple to break its howling, eddying urif ace, but just as it swveeps into the reak curves on eaeh side into huge reakers, wvhic'h have chafed the crumb ig edges of the levee even after it has nade its first wild leap on its errand of levastationi. Beyond the barriers it plunges into wihd and lonesome looking waves." omELIEt i F on 'rTII FLooD SUFFERERS.

Several Men Arrested for Shooting at a House. rSpecial to Charleston Wor'd.1 PEAK, Lexington, Co., April 23. Adam Meetze, constable for Jacob Dreher, was here to-day and arrested John S. Summer, John A. Sunmer, William A. Pundriek, Jackson Stoude mire and Sidney Stoudenire, charged by L. 0. George with tiring at his ten ant's house and doing other damage on his preliises yesterday morning at o'clock. Mr. George claims to have recognized the voices of those in the crowd which made the attack on Jim Williams, his tenant. W. A. Brundrick lives near to L. O. George, and more than a week ago the taps were taken oft Mr. Bundrick's wagon which had been left all night in the field, and he accused Mr. George of taking them off. This has caused a bad feeling between them. Jim Wil lianis says the satisfaction demanded by the crowd was that Mr. George re turn the taps to Bundrick's wagon. WATCHING THE DEMOCRATS.

It is said that 152 delegates have al ready been elected, and that the ob ject of the meeting is to put out a full State ticket. Is Alken's Treasurer Short? [Augusta News.] AIKEN, S. C., April 24.-It has been known for a week or two that Treas urer Murray of Aiken County was short in his cash. The grand jury found two weeks ago that something was wrong. The County Auditor was put upon the case, and to-day it is devel oped that the Treasurer is at least $17,000 short after deductions for salary and other things have been made. Mr. Murray has turned over everything to his bondsmen, who will make the loss good. It is not known what became of the money in the treasury. Death of Dr. Beaty. UNION, S. C., April 20.-Dr. H. S.

An Earthquake in San Francisco. - SAN FRANCISCo. April 24.-One of the most severe shocks of earthquake experienced here for a long time was felt in this city and neighboring locali ties a little after half-past three o'clock this morning. Buildings were shaken perceptibly and persons were aroused from their sleep. Plastering fell from walls in places, but no serious damage has yet been reported. A dispatch from Mayfield says that the shock was very severe there. The railroad bridge was rendered impassa ble, as the piers, sixty feat high, settled a few inches, and the rails spread about a foot. The ground in places settled six to twelve inches. Tfhe earthquake was general in this section of the State. The shock was very sharp in this city, but no serious damiage was done. The walls of a few houses, including the United States appraisers' building, in which the Federal Courts are held, were cracked and there was considerable alarm felt by persons who were aroused from sleep. The most serious damage was re bridge was thrown two feet out of line and the approach to it damaged. Gas mains were -disturbed at Gilroy, and many chimneys were thrown dowvn in the neighborhood of Watsonville. In some localities as many as a dozen dis tinct shocks were felt.
