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.

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

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

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."

THE TROUBLE AT PEAK.
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.

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.
