ELBERT IL AULL, EDITOF- 11,t ELBERT H. AULL, IProprietors. h W F.P. HOUSEAIL, C at NEWBERRY, S- C. W T THURSDAY, MARCH ', 1891. b THE ALLIANCE AN1) THE PRESS. South Carolina, we are proud to say, ti stands foremost to-day among the Alli ance States of the Union; it has taken g the right arm of Kansas and is moving forward to a consummation of the grand designs of the irder.A c h The great success the Alliance has D met with in this State has aroused ti the politicians aad they are seeking to find a means io break down our noble at order.I The means they have adopted seems w to be a subsidized or controlled press- b1 controlled by those who oppose the tj Alliance and its good work. There are already several papers in C this State under such control or in such E sympathy.-Cotton Plant. ti We are glad to chronicle the success : of the Alliance in this State or that of c< any organization that will benefit the a farmers. But all this talk about there d being a "subsidized or controlled press" d in South Carolina in opposition to the Alliance and its good work is the merest claptrap and buncombe. We b do not believe any such stuff and it is .5 a very serious charge and the Cotton r Plant ought to name the "several pa pers under such control or in such sympathy." We receive at this office nearly every i paper published in South Carolina and s we read them rather closely and have r been unable to detect any evidence a which indicates that they have been d subsidized. Several of them have Alli ance columns, and all, so far as we have c observed, are always ready and willing t to publish any Alliance news I :nfor- t mation that the Alliance or any of its members may desire published. The Cotton Plant should specify which "the t several"papers,are and adduce the proof that they are "subsidized" and are try ing to break down the Alliance, or re tract its broad and sweeping charge. Most of the editors of the State are men of at least ordinary intelligence, and have opinions on public questions, and, as is their right, exercise the priv ilege of expressing these opinions. Not every one who makes the biggest profession of friendship always proves the truest friend. No editor in South Carolina who had no broader views than personal interest, would oppose what he conceived to be the best inter ests of the farmers, nor would he try to break down any noble order of theirs. It would be suicidal for him to do so. What is a politician any way; and whg are "the politicians" referred Lo; and how have they adopted means to "subsidize" or "control" the press? If "the politicians" who get into the Alli 'ance, and from the Alliance into office don't oreak down the Alliance, it will stand the test. The press of South Carolina has never tried to break downt the Alliance nor in any other way tried to injure the farmers. The Alliance is in a great deal more danger from the Alliance politicians than it is from the 1 press. We have received the prospectus of a new paper to be published in the in-r terest of temperance at Chester, S. C.,I and to be called Public Opinion; Bob Jaggers, editor and proprietor, at $1 a year. It will be published every two ~* eks, and will appear on or before the 4foiTril. The prospectus says: "Public Opinion will he Democratic, but not partisan. Will bow to no political Baal. Will think as it pleases,. and, without fear, say what it thinks."t The Phosphate Commission have taken formal possession of the pbos phate territory heretofore worked byt the Coosaw Mining Company. It promises to be a lively fight as the Coosaw people claim they have a con tract with the State for this territory.r The Coosaw company is one of the a largest companies in the State engagedt in the digging ',f phosphate rock. Last year they mined about 107,000 tons and paid i~ 'he treasury of tihe State 1 abouL ,00 as royalty. Thiey stopped work las~ Saturday and thus threw out of employment about 500 hands, and of c corse the royalty they have been pay ing the State will stop until they begin work again. They have a lot of money invested in their plant and the outlook now is for a lot of litigation. WVe trust thbe matter wvill all be settled C amicably and for the best interests of s the State. Although the State cannot afford to be unjust to the company. ~ Large interests are involved an both 'I sides. Ex-Senator H. WN. Blair, of New n Hampshire, has been appointed min ister to China. We presume that willt end the Blair education bill. He may ti arouse an interest in education in the ti celestial kinigdom. The success of the Graded Schools d and the prospect of soon1 having a sys te of water works and electric lights in New berry has givenl prop)erty q1uite as a bom. Without these three evidences v: of "enterprise and progress" already. ssured and in p.rospective property would not have sold half so well. The Lexington grand jury wants the Legislature to pass a law reuamritngh Edgefield County to pay the e~xpenses p of the Jones trial. Lexinigtonl must ta xpect to have Jones on hand for a t long tmle. Tillman, Shell and Irby in Washing- a' ton together! Now look out for an other manifesto which will shake the w republic to its foundation.-G reenville wv ews. H It is too soon yet. The manifesto es will come by amI by, but it is rather tIa early yet, and may be, the centre of l,l motive powver wvill be so far away that ca most of the force will be spent before So it reaches us. Let us rest in peace un ti it %Ofce. m Gen. Wade Hampton will deliver an a atress on memorial day in Augusta, tIT April . Great preparations are being lir made and the grand and nloble Caro- ht linian will be given quite an ovation a by Georgians and Carolinians alike on fo THE THREE C's. Hon. D. H. Chamberlain, now the ceiver of the South Carolina railroad, is recently been appointed receiver of e Three Cs. The appointment is con :ered a good one. Mr. Chamberlain is managed the affairs of the South trolina railroad with signal ability, id he can work the two roads together ith advantage to both probably. bere are now about 177 miles of road ;ilt and in operation belonging to the bree C's. As we understand it, 'Mr. bamberlain has the power to cea'.inue te construction as well as to . perate It seems to us that it would be -eatly to his advantage to finish the ction of road from Edgefield to lacksburg, known as the Augusta ivision. It is graded nearly the en re length and in addition there are out $273,000 or $300,000 subscribed in wnship bonds on this division that ould become payable if the road were iilt. The cost of completing this sec on would not be great and the South arolina road now has trains between dgefield and Augusta and if the sec on of road from Blacksburg to Edge eld were built the same rolling stock muld be utilized in operating it. We re interested in the building of this ivision and we believe it would psy to 0 it. The 51st Congress has passed into istory. Its work is ended. In the 2nd the Democrats will have the 2ajority in one branch of it. An exchange asks this question: What is it that reminds you of wink 2g at a girl in the dark?" The an wer given is very pertinent and cor ect. It is, "Doing business without dvertising-you know what you are oing but the girl does not." This sug estion is thrown out to some mer hants who may see it and have goods o sell, but who have never thought of he value of judicious advertising. It is said now that the cotton crop his past year will not excetd eight illion bales. Even that makes It the irgest crop yet harvested. The Attorney-General has rendered is decision in regard to fees of sheriffs n nua bona executions. He says that io appropriation has been made by ,hich sheriffs can get these fees, and ie advises them to file their claims vith the Comptroller-General who vill have to apply to the next Legisla ure asking funds to pay the same. The Three C's is now in the hands of receiver and there will be no more sixty days" promise as to commencing vork on the Augusta Division. THE :HOSPHATE WAR. ,he Commission Take Possession of the Coosaw Territory--The Company to Ap peal to the ~Uited States Court for an IDjunction. secial to the Register.] CHARLESTON, March 2.-The war be ween the State and the Coosaw Phos >hate Company was inaugurated to la, when the Phosphate Commission rs, who went down to Beaufort yes erday, embarked in a tug chartered by he Stat o, and with Governor Tillman n board went down to Coosaw and ook possession of the territory to which he Coosaw company claim exclusive iht. Possession was taken by each nember of the Commission dropping a ead line overboard and sounding the ottom. The Coosaw company has hut down its machinery and is now die with its 1,000 or more employees. It is understood that in case any per on or company attempts to move rock n their territory the company will ap ly to the United States Court for an njunction, as the river now is a navi able stream and under the jurisdiction f the United States. It is understood hat it is going to be a war of freeze out. he Coosaw company will not mine ny rock itself and the United States ourt will be invoked to prevent any iody else from mining phosphate in he disputed territory. The Coosaw company last year hipped 100,00 tons of rock to Europe, .nd if the litigation is prolonged this nuch rock will be withdrawn from the narket. The land phosphate miners re jubilant and already talk of raising he price of land rock to $9 a ton. The itigation also is e'xpected to boom the ecently discovered Florida phosphates. o process has yet been issued by the nited States Court here. TOWNSH IP BONDS. ave Creek Township, Lancaster County, Bonds Are Invalidated. [Special t Augusta Chronicle.1 CHARLEs'1:, S. C., Feb. 2S.-The nited States court to-day decided the uit of the Massachusetts and Southern onstruction Company vs. the Town liip of Cave Creek, Lancaster County. The bill was brought to enforce the elivery of $19,000 bonds of the town hip, issued in aid of the Thbree C's road. 'he refusal to issue the bonds was based n the ground that the amount was in cess of the 8 per cent. constitutional mit affixed to the indebtedness of mu icipalities. It was submitted on proof at 8 per cent. of the assessed valua on of the taxable property in the >wnship is $18,570, or $430O less thani ie debt incurred. The court dismissed' se suit on that ground, taking the val at:on of 18SS, the date of the act of 2e Legislature creating the debt. Trhe >urt rules: "The act having created a ebt obnoxious in amount to the pro isions of the constitution, the whole eht is invalid, arid it is not competent r the court to dec!a:-e so much valid scomes within the constitutional pro This throws out $19.000l of the bonds sued in aid of the Three C's road. IBen Tinmzan in Washhingtonz. [New York Times.] overno'r Tillman, of Scuth Carolina, s been enjoying the privilege of occu ring a seat in the Hlouse of Represen tives, which is a privilege common the governors of States. He is a >ung-ooking man, with smooth face id dark, grimy complexion. He is ther tall andl slender, and somewhat vkward in his movements. His hands are rough and marked ith the scars of toil, and the brawny rists are not decorated with cufls. e has a heavy chin and a mouth 'r line of which dlenotes firmness, e expression being set and not broken any time by a smile. There is a an kiness about his countenance, used by the absence of an eye. The eket of his left eye is empty. He ars only a slight resemblance to his 'other, Representative Tillm]an. The an was a stranger to the members of e House, as well as to the public. He does not appear old enough to be governor, and he does not look like e governor of a State like South Caro m. He seems more like a son of the istling and hardy West. His conver tion is not fluent, but the lack of that mality seems to come flrom acontempt r talk and not from a lack of capabil .
