ELBEIti IL ALLL, EDITOn. ELBERT H. AULL, Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL, i rpieos NEWBERRY. S. C. THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1891. THE DEBATE IN SECRET. President Stokes, of the Alliance, adheers to his decision that the discus sion of the sub-treasury demand, be tween Gov. Tillman and Mr. Terrell, shall be before the Alliance and that none but alliance members shall be allowed to hear it. We do not think that President Stokes has yet given any good and sat isfactory reason for this decision. The sub-treasury demand is a demand for national legislation, and it is an issue, the adoption or rejection of which, con cerns all the people of this country, and as the All!ance only desires the good of all the people, and does not want the sub-treasury plan if something better is offered, we can see no good and. valid reason for not allowing the fullest and freest discussion of this matter. Surely there can be given in this country the fullest discussion of all public questions, and let it be done in good spirit and temper with the sole purpose of arriv ing at the truth; whether this discus sion is between members of the alli ance or others should make no differ ence. The Alliance is a good order and was inaugurated and gone into by our farmers for the purpose of benefitting them, but a good order may sometimes advocate measures that others may not agree with, and in this free country there should be no effort to choke off the fullest discussion. The Augusta Chronicle in a recent issue, in speaking of the action of Presi dent Stokes in the matter of the pro posed debate between Governor Till man and Mr. Terrell, well says: "We confess to some alarm for the wel fare of our country and the rights and liberties of our people whe- free men are ordered to debate in secret, great question of public policy affecting the rights of all the people. "We confess to apprehension when men claiming to be Democrats, bind themselves together in oath-bound so cieties, and are orderi to deb:.e before the State Alliance, which sits with closed doors, great questicus of govern ment policy. We confess to a sense of humiliation, when the president of n State Alliance arbitrarily dictates to the governor of a proud state like South Carolina, when the governor feels it his duty to discuss a burning question with his people face to face, that he under stands a debate between the two Alli ancemen before the State Alliance is necessarily a private affair. This is not Democracy. This is despotism. "Some of the Alliance leaders and organs are not only abusive, but intol erant. Only a few days ago, we called attention to tbe denunciaiion of Gov ernor Tillmnan by the Georgia Farmes' Alliance, published at Atlanta, in which he was compared to Benedict Arnold and Judas Iscariot. "We very much mistake the spirit and justice of our whole people if they submit to this denunciation and dicta tion of an oath-bo,ur.d political society, with its secret meeting and signs and grips." .The Washington Light Infantry -of Charleston will unveil their new monu ment to the dead of the three compa - nies of the war, in Washington Square, Charleston, on Tuesday, 21st instant, at 5.30 p. m. The address will be deliv ered by Hon. C. H. Simonton, presi dent of the Washington Light Infan try Veterans Association. The Herald and News has received an appropriately printed invitation for the occasion. The National Economist has the fol lowing to say about the Alliance in South Carolina, and gives Governor Tillma~n, especially, to understand that he must fall in line or the procession will tramp right on over him. We would say to the Economist that we do dot believe there has been an effort to create the impression that there is division in the ranks. There has been difference of opinion amongst members of the Alliance in regard to the sub-treasury plan for instance, and many ardent Alliance members and intelligent farmers do not approve of the scheme, but according to some of the leaders they must not express or even hold such a view, or they will have to get out of the way or be run over. The Herald and News sincerely hopes that the people will soon get in such temper that this, as well as all other National and State questions, can be fully and freely discussed, and that all the people. will be given an eqjual showing. We like that principle of the Alliance platform, "Equal rights to all and special privileges to none." There is where The Herald and News stands, and will endeavor to occupy that ground to the end. But here is the warning sounded by the Economist: "The en'emies of the Order are labor ing to create the impression that there is a split and contention in the Alliance in South Carolina, but they are only wasting time and space. The coming meeting (f the State Alliance at Spar tanburg, July 22, will show the Order in that State a solid phalanx marching with a fixed determination to secure .reform, zsud if Gov. Tillman or any other person gets in its way he wvill be run over, whether a member or not." F'or the information of the Greenville News, The Herald andl News wvould state that the Newberry County Alli ance has not vet spoken on the sub treasury scheme. The C'ounty Alliance meets to-morrow. A sub-Alliance in this cou nty passed resolt tions endors ing Governor Tillmian and pledgivg ad here'nce to theIDemnocratic party. The total visible and invisible sup ~iy of cotton for the world to Septem ber 1st, 1l91, is estimated at 12,4(;2,0(' bales. The total consumption for the same period is 10,244,000 bales, which make the total supply of cotton estimna ted on band September 1st, 1S91, 2,21S, (N'0 bales. The supply on hand 1st September, 189,0, was 1,212pm' bales, This gives an apparent increase of 1,006,000 ba:es compared with Septemi her 1st, 1893J. The estimated Amieri can crop of 190~.-91 is 8, 7~>000) bales. Mrs. Jeff. Davis' decision in favor of Richmond will receive the approval of the Southier: people. No better place could have b.een chose& The Herald and News is glad to see Judge Kershaw looking so well. He has dispensed the business of the Court I at this tefm with his old time alacrity and promptness and to the satisfaction of all concerned. The- e is no more able jurist in this State than Judge Ker shaw and we hope he may be spared many years yet. c The Alliance has begun a campaign e in Georgia. The speakers are Jerry c Simpson, Gen. Weaverand Mrs. Lease. It is denied by the leaders in Georgia t that it is to be a third party campaign. s President Livingston of the Georgia Alliance says it is only in obedience to resolutions adopted at the Ocala Con vention. The Democratic party gained a great victory last year in the various con- 1 gressional elections. It will gain another next year unless we have too much third party talk. Every vote c gained in the South for the third party a is also a gain for the Republicans. The t South should be nothing but Demo cratic. t On the WinZ from Glenn's. t GREENWOOD, S.C., July 13, 1S91. t Dear old Herald and News: I thought t perhaps you would like a few dots s about Glenn Springs, and as I am train-bound, (our train being one hour late) I thought I would give you alittle of the latest news. The trip to Glenn's was a very pleas- L ant one, I left Ness berry at 9.07 o'clock t and arrived in Spartanburg about two oclock in the afternoon of the same day. Then Blowers takes you in hand, t and after a three hours shaking'up, you a go to the "Saratoga of the South. Newberry is well represented by Mr. a W. H. Wallace of the "Observer," Burr (Waterbury) Rikard and Henry f Kinard. "Bud" is trying to destroy the e crop of blackberries, and he seems to t prefer the "berries to love." Waterbury f is improving rapidly: has gained about seventy-five pounds in the last twenty years. Glenn's has quite a large crowd of ( visitors just now, although larger c crowds are expected next month. r We had three sermons on yesterday s -one by the resident Episcopal minis- t ter on "communion"; one by Rev. Dr. U Witherspoon on the "Sea and Sailors r and their Conversion," an -I Rev. Jno. 9 C. Seegers preached on "Prayer" at li the.hotel at night. 0 I would say to all who are afflicted c to go to Glenn's. What the water does c not cure, the boys you meet will im- s prove. "Windy" seemed to take the il cake. All the girls fell in love'with p him; lie seemed to "know" ti+en all. a But I must close, as I fear the waste c basket. c W. T. Hatton, G. E. Werber and v myself are here. Mr. Werber on his v way home from Washington, D. C., t and Mr. Hatton and myself from il Glenn's. We feel like exclaiming as c Richard III in Shakespeare, "A horse! s' a horse ! a kingdom for a horsA"-only n we would like a train to Newberry. b Yours truly, 0 B. B. H. a Something About Savings Banks. S' Perhaps few persons in this town or it county (N ewberry) have fully consid-,I ered the possible advantages accruing Ic to a community from having a well- c< managed savings bank in their midst. Of course, the stock.aolder hopes to o realize a fair dividend on his invest ment, and it is right that he should, in k as much as he places hiimself between p the depositor and all casualties possible g to arise, for in the event of failure, the p stockholder must lose every dollar of his investment before the depositor can n lose a penny. ti But it is in the interest of the deposi- P tor that its peculiar features contribute si most largely. First, by affording him Ti a safe and pa.1 ing investment for any t< and all sums, whether large or small, a: and relief against possible loss by fire, robbery, etc. Further it enables him a to command his reserve at any time d necessity should arise. Every prudent, thoughtful individ- a ual on whom rests the responsibility of re providing for themsel"es, or other de- tl pendants, endeavors to provide a sur- h plus which he will jealously guard. To h such the savings bank offers just the tl facility needed. * p: MRS. DAVIS'S DE:CIsION. t gi She Gives Virginia the Cace of Her llus- c trious Hiusban' Body. ~EW YoRK, Jul 1l.-Mrs. Davis, the widow of the late Jefferson Davis, who has been sojourning at the New York Hotel in this city for some timed past, in a letter forwarded to the citi.. ti zeus of Richmond to-day, states that, d4 after much deliberation, she has de- 01 cided to give Virginia the care of her husband's body. She briefly review he claims of the i various States to her husband's re- ci mains, and urges the fact that in the b fullness of fame he did not belong to any part of the country, but that in ? Richmond he received generous and tI unwavering support in the darkest I hour of the South's \ efeat. " She refers to her personal sac.rifice in P~ giving up the hope of d welling neara her husoand's resting place, and ex- W presses the hope that the States of the cE Confederacy will also relisquish their ct cherished plans for the sake of gratify- Ia ing the m.ajority of the veterans of the fa South who have urged Richmond ast the proper place for him who loved t~ them all and labored for their glory.

'resident Stokes and Lecturer Willettn Speak at Greenwood. Last Thursday was a big day for the uliance:of Abbeville County, at.Green rood. The occasion was to hear the ddress of National Lecturer \Villetts, f Kansas. Several hundred alliance men had ssembled to hear the addrts. Presi ent Stokes, of the State Alliance, was iso present and delivered an address. The two together occupied about four ours of time in the delivery of their peeches. Being anxious to hear these addresses went to Greenwood. President Stokes spoke first. The relcome to the city was extended in tting terms by Dr. Maxwell. Presi ent Stokes was introduced by Mr. 3lake, president of the County Aillance. Dr. Stokes said that he would rather ccupy the position of.president of the Iliance than.any other position, because he alliance was endeavoring to solve reat questions of political economy, ud to be tre head of such an organiza ion in South Carolina he consi<ered a reat honor. He said he wished to refute the idea hat the Alliance was endeavoring to hrottle free speech. He took the posi ion that when two Alliance men de ired to discuss a measure it must not e in public, but before the Alliance. f the opposition to the Alliance ranted to discuss a measure of the Al ance like the sub-treasury, he would ind the Alliance to furnish men to de ate it in public with non Alliance en. He maintained that this position ras not without precedent, for in na ional conventions of the Republican nd Democratic parties where princi les were discussed and platforms made dmission could only be obtained by ass tickets. A pass-word did not dif !r from a pass ticket. He said, how ver, that the Alliance did not desire cover up anything, but desired the illest possible discussion. * * President Stokes then took up the tcala platform and read its demands, omnenting on each briefly, until he eached the sub-treasury. He dwelt at )me length on it. He said it was not cue that the Alliance laid undue stress pon this demand, but it had been lost vigorously attacked and a good eneral always met the enemy where e made his attack. The idea and aim f this demand was to increase the cir ulating medium. How to get this in rease was the question. The gold and lver men say take our metal and coin into money. Good, but if it were ossible to utilize every ounce of gold nd silver it would rpt increase the cir ulating medium over one dollar per Ipita per annum and at this rate it -ould take forty years to get it up to hat was needed. The farmer says to 2e government take our staple, store in ware-houses and issue to us 80 per ent. of the value. "As far as I can se," said President Stokes, "there is o difference in principle in storing onds in the treasury and issuing notes a them and my storing my cotton in warehouse and having notes issued a it." President Stokes then took up the bjections to the sub-treasury, and an vered them. The first objection, that is unconstitutional, is without merit. the government has the right to ac ept gold and silver as a basis, w'hy not >tton ? It is no more paternalism to acceplt >tton as a basis than to accept bonds. The idea that the government can't >an money at two per cent. when it tys 4 per cent., is ridiculous. The >vernment does not borrow money, it rints it. Thi objection urged that this schemie may cause a loss to the government if iere is adecline in price was considered. resident Stokes said there was no pos bility of loss under any circumstances. his plan would eliminate the specula >r and reduce it to the law of supply 2d demand. Suppose a farmer deposits in the arehouse $100 worth of cotton and raws $80 and at the end of the year hen pay day conmes this cotton is only orth $40), and the farmer fails to deem his cotton. You say at once at the government has lost $40. It s done no such thing. What is to nder the government from buying at cotton in and holding it, until the ice advances, and that is what it will >. But suppose the govern ment wants sell out, and only realizes $40. The >vernment has lost nothiing in that e, because the other $40 was in circu tion and it stands upon the same basis Syour silver certificate issued since st July. * * * This in brief is the answer of Presi mt Stokes to the objections to the sub easury plan. I would like for Presi ~nt Stokes to explain what becomes the other $20) that the farmer could ve gotten f:>r bin cotton at the time placed it in the warehouse in the ustration used above. It is not in rculatmjn, and it looks as if it might >a clear loss to the farmer. Somehow I am not convinced that resident Stokes himself believes in e soundness of his own reasoning. have endeavored to give his argu et as fully as possible so that the ople could see it for themselves. If cording to his logic the government ould lose nothing when it only re ived $40 for $80 it had advanced be use it was in circulation, it would e nothing if it bad just given the rmer full value for his cotton and en returned his cotton to him also, for e money would be in circulation. Mr. Willetts, of Kansas, the National acturer of the Alliance was next intro ced. He is a pleasant talker, and terspersed his speech of three hours Eth anecdotes that amused thre crowd. have not the space for an abstract of s speech. He said it was a little re arkable that a Kansas jayhawker ould be addressing a South Carolina dience, but they had learned away in Kansas that the war was over d that the Alliance had made all en brothers. He said the Alliance s not a political organization, but s organized simuply to ad vance the terests of the farmers. But the farm Swant more money and less misery. e great opposition to- the farmers' mands comes from the money power. ie government has been moved from asington to Wall Street, New >rk. He urged the farmers to send roers to represent them in ngress. Thme reason of the depres n among the agriculturists was the liberate attempt of European Jews conquer America with the money wer. He denounced the national nking system and quoted from Mr. mase, the father of the system, to ow that he himself said it was the sancial mistake of his life. It has runk all values. The need of the sur was more money in circulation. he sub-treasury was urged as the aiedy for the ills of the farmers. It uld give a flexible currency and mey to move the crops. It will do ay with gambling in futures. We not insist on the details of the bill as w proposed but want the adoption o some bill the principles involved. * SIr. Willetts received attention and is frequently applauded. He said lie d been a Republican for twentS-six ars, and was now a member of the liance. 3reen wood is a growing town. There s also a stock show there on Thurs y and a match gaeof nbahnl betwenn Greenwood and Piedmont. The latter won. Riley's Hotel furnished dinner for quite a number of people, and a good dinner it was. The day was pleasantly spent. I am glad I went. E. H. A. TILLMAN VERSUS TALBEilT. The Governor Evidently Does not Intend to Give up Either the Alliance or the Party and Expects to Win Both. [Special to News and Courier.] EI)GFFIELD, July 1.-Thegathering of the Edgefield County Alliance to-day took the shape of protracted meeting and a love feast. It assembled at 11 a. in., and adjourned at 5.30 p. m. Mr. S. L. Reedy president, with Mr. S. B. Mays as secretary. ** * * * * Speeches were made by Pistrict Lec turer Gaston, Col. W. J. Talbert and Governor Tillman. Mr. Gaston's speech was on the fol lowing points: Punctual attendance, unity of action, education, abolition of national banks and free and unlimited coinage of silver. Col. Talbert spoke on the policy of the Alliance and followed the line generally of his speeches heretofore published. Governor Tillman also spoke on Alli ance principles and the course of the Alliance to insure its success as an or ganization. After the speeches several resolutions were offered, as follows: Resolved, That the endorsement of the sub-treasury schemehasa tendency to disrupt the Democratic party. This resolution was tabled. Resolved, That the Edgefield County Alliance adopt the Ocala platform, with the omission of the sub-treasury plank. The third and last resolution was offered by Mr. Williams, of Gray Town ship. It was. Resolved, That the Edgefield Alli ance do adopt the Ocala platform. This resolution was not pressed nor put to the house and was therefore not carried. Col. Talbert spoke for two hours and a half, and is said by his friends to have made the best speech of his series. He was very frequently applauded. Governor Tillman was very warmly received by his Edgefield friends, and his speech was characteristic, earnest,. forcible, and at times humorous. While he was speaking inside alarge crowd of friends from the country and tov,n out side were patiently awaiting the close of the meeting to call him out. He declined, however, to make another speech. It was expected before the meeting this morning that there would have been a conflict between Governor Till man and Col. Talbert. Outside of criticisms, however, which have repeately been referred to, the meeting was quiet and harmonious, the delegates in an excellent humor with themselves and everybody else at the close of the six hours' session. Those who oppose or are negative on the sub-treasury business say that they desire more enlightenment before they commit themselves to it, and the pro minent sub-treasury men say the pas sage of Williams' res'lution endorsing the Ocala platform was not necessary, as the St Louis platform had been en dorsed and that Alliance men by a great majority endorse it, whether for mally or not. The sub-treasury men at the meeting claim tbat, although no resolutions of instructions were passed, State D)ele gate Reedy is a sub-treasury man and also the district delegates. The fact is both sides in the meeting to-day claim a victory of peace. Those who differ with either side can read over thbe re cord. A MOTION THAT WAS TABLED. [Special to Sunday News.] COLUxmIA, July 11-In the report of the Alliance meeting at Edgefield in The News and Courier to-day the fol lowing resolution is left suspended in the air: Resolved, That the Edgefield County Alliance adopt the Ocala platform with the omission of the sub-treasury plank. This resolution was tabled. DR. SToK~ES ON THE ALLIANCE. [Secial to News and Courier.t COtLxMrIA, S. C., July 11.-P'residen t Stokes, of the State Aliiance, is in the I city to-night on his way to Orangeburg from Chesterfield, where he to-day ad dressed the last of the country meetings held in accordance with the arrangements made last spring. He said that the gathering at Chesterfield was large, and that he spoke in general terms on the Allianc. demands. Dr. Stokes has not at all changed his mind as to the Spartanburg meeting, which, he says will be in secret. He says that there is no reason to take the ground that Tillman and Terrell will not have an impartial jur.y. Only two of the counties, Richiand and Chesterfield, have instructed their delegates on the question to be decided; and there will probably be sixty or seventy delegates in attendance. As to the temper of those elected he does not think that there is one who is not open to convic tion, and who will not vote according a to that conviction when a decision is to, be reached. He does not think that delegates from counties in which re-c solutions favoring the sub-treasury ~ have been passed, but the delegates r not instructed would be bound to votet contrary to the impression madle upon them by the argument. Dr. Stokes expressed the view that the Spartan burg meeting will be the place where certain minor di flerences of opinion be tween the party leaders will be once for all reconciled, yet not by or through the Alliance, which will continue tov assume no leadership or dictation in State politics.t He said that to the minds of the un informed there was a breach between a prominent leadeis. He has just con-a luded his tour of many counties, but a be fails to) see evidences of a weakening t on the party lines of the election of a 1890. Speaking as one whbo took part init the Farmers' Movement, lie said that all that would be necessary to securea the Farmers' Movement in solid phlal auix again would be the hint or appear ance of an o)pposition ticket. He does not belie.ve that there is at this time, e nor is it likely that there will be, any ~ antagonisn between the Alliance man desiring self-government and his own government, and the Non-Alliance men belonging to what is known as the T Farmers' Movement. He believes that whenever the good of the party for whbich he with otbers fought so strenu ously is at stake, it will be an easy matter to harmonize whatever there ti may be of conflicting personal views on tI measures which are conceded to be for I; the general good by the principle of the u majority rule. F l a fine, speaking as a Farmers' Move-.e ment nian, Dr. Stokes does not believe that there is anything in the political i tmosphere whi2b has at all lessened a the weight or influence as a mass of the t Farmers' Aioveiment of 1890. As to the:c Alliance proper, it is working for what p it holds to be the material good of the Order, and that differences in thaty rganization will be settled without c rutside advice or infiuence. Dr. Stokes looks with confidence to the results of the Spartanburg meeting as being comi posed of imen of intelligence, capable of*4 understanding and digestin~g good argument, andl of reaching thereafter a decision based solely on the merits of L the case. L'OL. ROBERT A LDR[IH CONvERTED). [Special to Newvs and Courier.] fr COLCUMIA, July 1:1.-Reports areT coming in slowly, but interes'ingly, T rom theass eeting which was held 13 yesterday at Midway. Col. Robert Aldrich spoke there and, on good au thority it is stated that he "adopted" the sub-treasury without reservation. He came out strongly in favor of it and . was in turn. as was expected, heart'ly endorsed by Col. Talbert. Col. Talbert. when 's turn came to speak, said that he was delighted to note Col. Aldrich's change of sentiment and that if he. ('ol. Talbert, were not a Baptist lie would be in favor of raising an old time Methodist shout. Col. Talbert also said that if ('ol. Aldrich would, like Col. Tom Watson over in Georgia, sell his law library lie would be tempted to admit him into the Order. There was evidently another one of "then pro tracted love feasts" over in Midway. Col. Talbert desires to say that the report of the meeting at Edgefield as it was published in The News and Courier was correct. He thinks-it due that this should be said in view of the incorrect a.-counts of the meeting which were published in the Augusta Chronicle and elsewhere. He said that the report in The News and Courier showed that none of the resolutions offered was p-ssed, and that if there was any vic tory it was "a victory of pea,e," which was tL.e inference made by The News and Courier report. He holds, with his friends in Edgefield, that there was no need of the endorsement of the Ocala platform in that county for the reasons given on Saturday. PATCHIN( UP A PEACE. The interview with President Stokes, which was published to-day in The Sunday News, will be read with great interest by the Farmers' Movement and Alliance men in this State. He, of ourse, did not say, anything about "his" government, as it appears by an error of the types. Tl ctause should have been "Alliance man desiring self government and his own govern nient," not )r. Stokes' government. Col. Talbert, who read it to-day, said that he endorsed every word of it. He said in addition that he could only repeat what he said at Edgefield, that when the time care he would be ready t- kill the fatted calf and put the gold ring on Governor Tillnan's finger. There is some 'alk, which possibly hasgood foundation, that the Spartan burg meeting wIll not take any action on the sub-treasury, at least that it will not make any invidious decision between Governor Tillrnan and Terrell, that the speakers will speak for the ,nlightement of the meetin'. and that as in many of the counties the endorse ment of the platform of Ocala will add nothing to what Alliance men believe to be the majority Alliance sentiment in the State. There may be something in this from the latest c'eliverance of the more prominent public speakers that there shall be and must be peace tmiong the leaders of the old move ment. "THE ALLIANCE IS TIREI) OF DEMO CItATIC AI3IE ANI) INTOLERANCE." [Augusta Chronicle. J WASIINcTON, D. C., July 13.-Col. Polk, president of the National Alli ince, is in Washington, preparing for the Georgia campaign, to open at Anericus next week. In an interview to-day, lie vehemently denied the story that Kansas Alliancemen, who had ormally affiliated with the Republican party, were making preparations to re new their allegiance to that party. He Aharacterized the story as a lie out of :he whole .loth to bolster up the ]ecaying fortunes of the Western Re publicans, and to dishearten Southern Alliancemen wbo happen to be Demo-. ,rats. He denied that Macune had :raded off to the protectionists, and tated, without hesitation, that the utenti in o'' Western Alliancemen was o0 pnt a third party ticket in the field u '92, and that they would carry Kan as, Neb)raska, the two Dakotas, and >ther states. WILL THlE DOSE liE TAKEN? When pressed as to the program in :he South, he said jie would give it ;traight that the Allia'ce had stood mough ot the intolerance and abuse of .he Democratic leaders in tha t section, nd, unless there was an early let-up, he third party medicine would be >fiered to them. He claimed that the alliance in Kansas is stronger by 15, H)0 than before the Ocala convention, Ld in other Western 8tates the increase was equally as mark d1. There appears o be nogquestion about the intention >f thie alliance chief to feel the farm nig pulse in the Southern States as to he adlvisability of a third pary move nent. Co'. Polk did not say this, but the oncentration of their leaders in that ction just at this time seems to war alit such belief. HOT SHOT FORt MACUNE. 'resident Hail Makes a Vigorou,s Attack Upon the Alliance Leader. FonT WORTHr, TEXAS, July 1.-The >rincipal feature of the State alliance ;onvention this imorning was the peech of U. S. Hall, president of the lissouri Alliance. He charges that )r. Macune bad sold out for a money onsideration to the Protectionists, and ux furtherance of that bargain the :hird Party move was inaugurated in hie South to divert Democratic votes. le said that it was no disgrace for such dishonest man as Macune to get into he Allianice, but it would become a igrace if he w~as not turned out. 'resident Hall was loudly applauded. Last night Harry Tracy, Macuue's hief apostle in T1exas, gave an open hallenge for the debate on the sub reasury schemxe. H all accepted. The ebate occurs to-night, Tracy claims to ] ave unsavory facts about H all's career, ewly discovered, which he propose to arn loose to-night. The sub-treasuryites, of whom a ruad w;alked out of the Convention esterday are red hot. It is believed at the otut coime of the Convention till be a split of the State Alliance into ictions, one representing the Third 'arty and the other the Democratic rmng.t The Anti-sub-treasury State Conven on of the Farmers' Alliance to-day dopted the following resolution: "That we- denounce the sub-treasury. nd land loan schemes at govern mental wnership of railrads as a violation of e first p)riniciples of good government, Spaterinal in their character, as cen -aizing in their tendencies, and if _ acted into law they would create such horde of national ottice-bolders as 'ould fasten the clutches of the party ipower upon the throats of the people >strongly that the voices of honest, tizens would no longsr be heard in i control of Governnient affairs."

Free Fasses are no Uncommon Thing Among the Leaders of the Domi nant Element. [Special to the Charleston World.] OREENWOOD, July 11.-Your corres pondent has "caught on" to some valu able information that unearths consid erable of the free pass matter with regard to state officials. The following gentlemeu possess and ride on railroad passes, given pos;ibly "in exchange of courtesies." Lieutetnant-Governor E. B. Gary, No. 16. J. H. Walker, No. 17. J. E. Tindall, No. 4. Dr. Sampson Pope, No. 12. W. H. Ellerbe, No. 2. Col. J. Gary Watts, No. 111. Cole. L. Blease has one, but the num ber is unobtainab'e. John R. Harrison, representative front Greenville, and Dr. Fuller, repre sentative from Laurens, also have passes upon which they came here on the 9th to attend the geat Alliance meetng. These public officials have little idea that the people are watching these would-be small matters with so mnch interest. Although it is now midnight, and this matter has been an open secret for only a short time, seeds of discontent have been sown here in the Democratic ranks, and are taking root.

The statements were made authori tatively, and may be relied on as correct to the letter. The gentleman above referred to had accidentally come into possession of a railway conductor'. book, containing not only the numbers of all free passes, but the names of holders of the same, and he had pres ence of mind enough to jot down a few of them for future reference. New Advertisements. TIlE GARIIENT IITTER IS IIERE. Ladies, if you would be a comfort to yourself and family and a laudable money-saver,--seusible, independent -come and join our cutting class. This thing is a sensation just now. Your own people are cutting by our system, and claim to have better fits than can be obtained through dress makers. Our motto is: "Cut the garment to fit so you wont have to change it," and every garment that ha.s 7een cut, even by our inexperienced pupils, has had no change made on it, but fit beautifully at first. The class at Newberry must be fin ished in three weeks, and pupils will not be received after the 20th inst. So the sooner you decide to take the better it will be for you. There will be no other class taught in the county, but persons wishing to take who live in other towns or in the country should come in town right away. Such persons will receive special attention, and be finished in from three days to a week. Instructions will be given at the Crotwell hotel where we have a nice large airy room. Any one expecting to take instruc tions should write or call on E. 0. Black, Cr"'twell Hotel, New berry, S. C. Notice of Final Settle ment. I WILL MAKE A FINAL SET tlement on the estate of Ida E.
