ELBERT H. ALL, ' Proprietors. :. P. H UUSEAL, 1 'IIUBSDAY JULY :;1, 1' i). WE MCST WORK TOGETHER. Let u- talk bu iness occasionally and take a l:ttle rest from polities. We talk about gcttiig totgether politically. That is right and sensible talk. We Aiul( get together from a buiness stan(lpoiit, too. I f there was colCen Iiato 11 of etort to build up the busi itss of our coillnliiities,and our county we would get along better. We should be less suspicious of each other. We should be le-s enviots. What is a ienelit to our comliiinity or our town or our county will help us. There hould be no coniliet of interest be tween the town and the country. What helps one will benefit the other. A prosperous, a growing and a live town in ally section of ttiitry is an ini ieaton 1hat the "ountry is prosper ilg. IfI we should live in the country we should be proud to see the town that is near us grow and prosper. And on the other hand, if we live in the town we should in every way possible help build up the country around us. We must work together. There should be no antagonisl between town and country, for they are mutually depend ent on one another and mutually ben eficial the one to the other. The man who tries by word or deed to create an antagonism between the two is an enemy to both, and is an in jury to the coinmunity in which he lives, whether it be in the town or the country. Some do it for popularity. But you had better watch such a man, whoever he is or wherever he lives. He is the friend A' none. We are all akin, and we should work tog-ther. An exchange aptly and truly says: "No coun ty caln prosper unless there is a close union of all classes on mat ters which make t bem all akin. Man ufacturing enterpries, for instance, are something that mz:ust benefit all classes in the county. It is a good thing in whatever light you Inay view it for all classes to meet together occasional ly-even if they onily take a good 'Zhaw' of tobacco togtl her. It is a-bad thing to suspect eaci other. The mind of man is not made for 'suepi eion'ssanctuiary.' It looks to us soietim nes that the tendency of our people in their ideas, and the legislation they are demand ing is all towards a great centralized government. It looks towards wiping out State lines and doing away with local self-govermlent and towards the building up a great paternal govern ment at Washington. The Blair Edu cationlal bili was legislation looking that way, but it failed. There are t wo measuires before Con gress now that tend that way-the Lodge election bill and the sub-treas ury bill-are both looking towards a centralized government. And strange to say the Southern peo ple, or many of those of them who have always been among our most conservative citizens, no.y claim to be amiong the strongest suipporters of the latter. We are inclined to think, howvever, that both these measures will nmeet the fate of the Blair educational bill. WVe publish this week full proceed ings of the State Alliance he7d atGreen ville last week, together with the annual address of President E. T. Stack house. The new president, D)r. J. W.Stokes, is from Orangeburg and is the editor of the Cotton Plant. The next meeting will be held in Spartanburg. The State exchange will likely be moved to Columbia as most of the al liance men wish the exchange to be more centrally located. The alliance in the state seems to be ini a flourishing condition andl growing rapidly. (Captaini Tilman is sai.l to have pledged himself to go before the August Convention and niake a plea for a State p)rima:ry. But lie is not a delegate to that conventioni, and suppose he wvas to make a plea before the convention, could it not be understood with the delegates that they were to voteagainst the p)rimary. At Manning the Augusta Chronicle says that lie "touched very lightiy on thec primwary system. He ad mnitted that h~e was for it. but he im p'essed the minds of his supporters that twey had better not adopt it. See the p >int. He favors the primary, but says to his supporters that they better not adopt it as they have the thing solid in conlvenltion, and it would be bad politics to) g.ve that aIway and take chanlces at the ballot-box. It would nlot be politics to do it. i n A bbeville County tile farmners and the A\llianices have taken off tile boy. toit they had placed on the Abbeville Press and Danner. This is a sensible action). They have concluded it wa best not to try to sto p freedom of speech and of the press, nor to t.ind their mienbers not to take, or to sub .cribe for aniy paper, but leave them free to (d0 as they please in this matter.

FACTS VS FANCY The Herald and News has been to .-'uie trouble during the past few days 1 to ascertain the number of liens given < in this county for advances on the s crops and the amount of the same. We have also ascertained from the 1 officers of the Newberry National : Bank the amount of their loans and dis- t counts to the farmers of the countv. t lhese figures may be of interest to the : farmers of this county at this time, es- a pecially so as the politicians and office < seekers are talking of repealing the i lien law, and are busily engaged abus ing national banks and endeavoring to c instil in the minds of the farmers that t both these institutions are the worst of t enemies to our farmers. These argu ments are the fancies of those who make them, without any intention, ] possibly, to deal in idealities that can not be realized, but at the same time making war on two institutions that are largely used by the farmers of this c )unty, and without which, no doubt, they would find it inconvenient to se cure the necessary means to make 1 their crops, unless these men would ofTer theni a substitute that is better. The sub-treasury bill does not meet E the case, as under it the government 1 does not propose to loan money until : the farmer has the produce to put in i the warehouse, and when he has this 1 he can get the money for it without t the warehouse or sub-treasury either. To abolish the lien law, according to Capt. Tillman, would be to take awayi from the small farmer his only basis of credit, and force him to work for the landowner for wages or part of the crop, and thus tend to build up a landed aristocracy, the worst and most oppressive we could possibly conceive. But what are the facts and figures in the case. We have endeavored to get the number and total amount of the liens indexed in the Clerk's office up to date for advances. According to the figures thus obtained there are 1,8:11 of these liens and the total amount is $193,75i.95. This makes the average about $100 each. The largest lien in dexed was for about $1,200, and the great majority is for small amounts. The total amount of loans to farmers by the Newberry National Bank is in round numbers $250,000 to date this year, and to all other persons, $200.0O. Which shows that the farmers patron ize the Newberry Bank more largely thanall other citizens. This makes in round numbers $4.50, 000 advanced to the farmers of this county by the use of these two sources before the crop is made. We have not the figures of the pri vate bank at Prosperity, but we would suppose that at a low estimate they loan to farmers $20,000 or $25,000 to help them make the crop. Now, how the sub-treasury is to take the places of these two is beyond our comprehension, and we admit that we are unable to see how it will help the cotton farmer at all. Under the sub-treasury bill the gov ernment proposes to loan the farmer money to the amount of S0 per cent. of the value of his cotton, deposited in the government warehouse, at one per cent. But when the farmer has his cotton he does not need to borrow money from any source because his cott on is money. The remedy wanted is some plan by which the farmer can get cheap money t> help him make his crop, or bet ter still, some plan by wvhich he can make his crop withcut borrowing money or getting supplies fromu any source to make the crop. We just put out these facts and figures for the consideration of our farmer friends and trust they will give them some study. The total cotton crop of Newberry County will not exceed 253,000 bales, and a high estimate for it is one million dollars, and fully two-thirds of it is spent before it is made. The remedy most needed is some plan by which this can be reversed, and then the farm ers can hold the cotton to suit their convenience. THE COUNrY CAMPAIGN. Thle State Campaign is virtually closed. The County Campaign opens on Saturday, as arranged by the County Executive Committee and runs through the greater part of August. We trust this county canvass may be conducted in a friendly and manly manner and that the voters will be untrammelled by any caucus nominations or sugges tions or any iron clad oath to support any mau or set of men. Let every free white Democrat assert his manhood and vote for the best men for the va rious county offices to be filled, and not permit any half dozen or more men fix up any ticket for him to swallow whether he wants to or not. The Herald and News has no ticket fixed up, but we hope to see good and efficient officers chosen. Then let our voters see to it that good and capable men are eiected. The decision of this matter is in the hands of the people and to their verdict all of us must submit. Then every man] should see to it that he does his duty ~ faithfully and well. Let every man be true to himself,: his country and his God and all will will end well. These are wonderous times we are living in now. The country seems to 1 be producing a full erop) of demagogues and half-rate politicians, and little, time-serving statesmen. But things will all come right by and by. Lieutenant Governor, W. L. Mlau! din, of Greenville. is anniountoed as a candidate for (Congress from his Dis trict.. 1 The Charleston World wvaxes warmi over the statement that Capt. W. A.1 Courtenav will be selected as the can didate on the Tillnman ticket for State Treasurer, with a view of having his financial influence' and ability in fund ing the State debt, and pronounces the rumor a 31unchausen story.t ~We believe The Herald and News wa the first paper to publish the ru mor. We have only to say that our information came fromr one of the most devotedI admirers Capt. Tillmnan has, LLd( one who is way u p in the inner roun(-ils of that' Iac:ti'on. It. may be a .unhau*u sto,ry., but it came mighty ~. rai~h.. THE ONE UOX LAW. The Count y Executive' (oiinmtittee Ias departed froin the f6rmtwr mele of 011(1ntdig our primary c'iei n i, in everal very important particulars. here is to be only one box and one >allot for all the offices to be filled, and swe interpret the rule it takes in the 'omgressional candidate also. I f not, to provision is IIiadee fi r that eIe 'tion .t all. No ballot is to be counted for ny candidate unless a candidate for very oflice is voted for. For instance, fa voter puts in his ballot and in some ray fails to puton the ticket three ntanles f those who have been nominated for ounty Cornmissioners, and has all of he others tilled out properly, still that rote is thrown away and not counted. Then each candidate is required to )ay the secretary of the Executive olmittee one dollar to pay for tickets, mid if he fails to pay this dollar no -otes are to be counted for him. This s done in the interest of economy we "resumtle. We cannot see the advanta:vs of hese changes. It seems to is ehere are nany objections to this one box law. t will be observed that there will be tbout eleven names to write on each icket, and no doubt, there will he what night he termed ticket writers at each >ox who will endeavor to till up the ickets to suit themselves, but we trust here is enough manhood left in every nan to fill up his own ticket, and that e will not omit to put the right nanes n the right places so as to have his rote counted. The rules are published elsewhere in 'ull. Read then for yourselves. Some of the committee seem to think ;bat there is to be a separate box for the ongressional election. If so no ar -angement is made for it. The ('on ressionalConvention adopted the same -ules as governed in 18S6, and the ounty Chairman of each county was ,nstructed to have them published. There can be no question that there )ught to be a separate box for the (on ;ressional election. It is not fair to any >f the candidates to have them voted or on the same ticket with the county )tihcers, and possibly that is not the neaning of the rule adopted, but it is ,o construed by many. We suppose the County Chairman ill send in for publication the rules to ;overn the congressional election if the rules adopted for the county officers do aot apply in that case. The Shining Truth.

Resolced, Th~lat the nominee of the Democratic party for Congress in this, he 3d Congressional DJistrict, for this mtd each subsequent campaign be se eted by a primary election, and that he candidate receiving a majority of he entire Democratic vote cast shall 2e the nominee of that p)arty. The~ following is the report of the :ommittee to fix rules to govern the rimary whbich was adopted : The committee to whom was re erred the matter of preparing rules ~overning the p,rimnary election for the election of a candidate for Congress 'or this the 3d Congressional District beg eave to report that after a full conside ation of the matter they find that it is ut of their plower, with the limited ,me at their disposal, and with the 'acilities afforded them to prepare such 'ules and in lieu thereof would respect ully recommend the adopt ion of tihe ules which prevailed in the primary dection for Congressmian for this Dis ret in 1886. .It was made the duty of the Con ;ressional Executive Committeeman rom each county in the D)istrict, to urnish t he county papers of his cou nty' ith a copy of the:.e rules for putblica .ion. Mr. WN. T.

Ve lhave not learned the result of the anfeww-e, but presumie ilno definite n'f~rstant'I rm~' W:c- :i rri ved at w ilat )o Tilman and i- Lieutenant, Seek It seelti:": n_ever to have ,ccurrel to the iass of Tillman's followers that lie and his immediate corps of assistants are only using the people for their own personal advancement-for their own selfish purposes. The mass of the people are unquestionably seeking the public welfare, partly through the lift ing of burtlens which they think bear to( heavily upon themselves, partly through the establishment of public measures which they believe will give all of us a more wise and equal gov ernment than we have hitherto en joved. I therefore give the people at large credit for entirely honorable and proper motives. It is their right to protect themselves ; it is their duty to further public Interests, consequent lv, they deserve praise for every honest eflort t~o compass these two objets. But in their anxiety about these things they have allowed themselves to be captured by vague, intangible suirestions of benefits to themselves and to the State in general, have al lowed themselves to be charmled by 'words without knowledge'' ; have allowed themselves to be excited by the 1o st unfair appeals to their prejudices; have allowed themselves to be bound to the suport of mOe I who intend to use theta ierely as the nicans of riding into distinguished and money-paying oflices. They ought to have learned by this time what these men are work in- for. I believe they will finally awake to a Comprehensionl of the situ ation. The danger is that they will awake too late, and that like the vislou which showed King Priam the confla gration of his empire, their senses will disclose to them their errors when all hope of remedy is past. I know that our people have had a poor opportunity to investigate the situatiol,. For years a band of blatant denagogues, with Tillnan at their head, have been crying to them that they were robbed and persecuted, and there was no counter argument made. I know that unfavorable seasons have shortened their crops; that inefficient labor has prevented them from reaping the harvests they ought to have had; that an outrageous tariff'has compelled them to pay nearly twice as much as they ought to have paid for nianufac tured articles; that every crop has been produced at great expense, at great risk, and with infinite care and worry. I also know that the pending political campaign, instead of bringing before the people a clear, rational, fair discus sion of practical questions, has involved them in a perfect cyclone of wvrath, personal abuse, windy platitudes, ap peal to envy wicked prejudice, all clothed in words "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing," so far as their interests are concerned. But perhaps 1 will he pointed to Till man's platform, as many call it-the platform of the March Convention, gotten up by G. W. Shell and his com mittee. How many iteins in this plat form have been really discussed in the campaign? Not one! Tillman has abused the railroad commissioners as much as he dared; and he has grumbled and insinuated considerably against t he department of agriculture. But lie has never pretended to show hiow we are to improve either thing. He has raved about aristocracy and oli,rarciy; but there is nothing in the platform about those two things. He has complained of undue representation of the lower counties in the Legislature: but there is nothing in the plattrm about that. He may have claimed in his speeches a re-apportionmuent of thle State coinvenl tio)n; but I aii not aware of it. And, by the wamy, how would that high tein any man's burthens? All the other nmtters, both of his platform and of public interest, he ignores. He says nothing of the Clemson College (no doubt because he knows it is secure); lie says nothing of a conistit utionial coni vention; he says nothing of the man agenment of the phosphate interests of the State; he says nothing practical about reducing salaries or reducing the number of otliees, although giv ing us very plainly to understand that he is niot willing for the goverinor's salary to lie lowered about thme management either of the rail road commission or the agricultu ral dlepartmwent. In fine, lie has gone back to the fanatical howlings of the Shell manifesto. because lhe counts upon01 carrying the peole through ex eitemenit andi class p-ejudice, and not upon the strength of implrovemuenits which he has to suggest in our laws or custoins. But Mr. Tillmian dilates at great length upon aristocracy and( rinugs. He wishes the people to tielieve that they have been ini t he hands of tyran ts and robbers, for lie imagines t hat they will thus be induced to take up a new set of men, to wit, himself and his travellIiing company and his henchmen. And right there lie discloses his whole dle sign. It is a light of those out (of oflie against those who are in oflice. IR is a fight to place Tillman and his associ ates in the oflices which another set has held. J putt the question to myi fellow-citizens of Newberry County, anid 1 1)0t it ini all seriousness-do you know a single prominent nian in the Tillmian party who is not an office seeker? I(1(o not mean by this to ques tion the disinterestedness of zealous workers in the Tpillnman cause; for, uin fortunately, the leaders have excited a great many honest, patriotic, pure, un selfish men to work for them. .But do you kniow even one leaider in this move Inent-one man in close intimacy with Tillman-of whom you can undertake to say that he is iiot seek ing an office. either with TIill man, or through Till man, or before the people, or through the next Legislature? Look around onu:and answer. Tilman makes constaint and hitter complaint of what lie calls "poitical leprosy,'' amid lie definues the disorder to be greed for otile. In view ot the fum rious rush for oltice miade by him and his chosen sat elites and noonmers, it would seem that his crowd have cautt the diseOse, and h ave a very bad case of it. .1. F. ..
