ELUERT H1. AUL,E rn ELBERT H. AULL. i P,. s W-1.NIP. HOUSEAL, 5^ NEWBERRY. S. C, THIURSDAY, SEPTEIBER 3, 1S91. 'TOTE FAIR, GENTLEMEN,TOTE FAIR The Herald and News would like to ask the Cotton Plant, and others who are making a great ado over what they claim Senator Butler said in his Pros perity debate, if they claim that as an argument in favor of the sub-treasury plau? Suppose SenatorButer did say,which he did not, what his language is con strued to mean by those who are op rosed to him, what has that to do '. ith the merits of the sub-treasury or of the joint discussion between himself and Dr. Stokes? Why this great eflort to divert the minds of the people from the merits of the discussion and endeavor thus to prejudice them against General Butler? Why this personal attack upon Senator Butler? Is this point the only flaw that can be found in the argument of Senator Butler? Why quibble over words when every sensible man knows that Senator Butler never said and never intended to say that 40,00 farmers in this State are thieves and scoundrels? To a man on the fence it looks very much like an admission that Senator Butler got the best of the Prosperity discussion. There is no use to mince words about it. Dr. Stokes is not a match for Senator Butler in joint pub lic discussion. He is a very clever man and we like him personally very much, but we do dislike very Much to see such perversion made of what a man says as has been done in this case and for the purpose of injuring a faithful public servant and to make the people lose confidence in him. MIR. SLIGU A*T SARDIS. We publish elsewhere this week a report of the speech of -Mr. Sligh at Sardis, in Laurens County, a short time ago. It is on the same line with the arguments of other advocates of the sub-treasnry plan. It would seem from the report of the speech that the Newberry editors accomplished at least one thing. They have beeni enabled to furnish amuse ment for Mr. Sligh. We have not heard or read of a speech delivered on Mr. Slig s side of the question in some time that there is not some fling at the editors. If there is one class of people that receive less and expect less and get more voluntary abuse than the * editors, we would like to know who tbey are. MIr. Sligh says the Newberry editors '"always cry out against a man when the farmers put him up." And the reason he assigns is that these editors want ":to boss the job themselves. They want the high places and the fat of the land." - srr~si- editor is concerned, MIr. Sligh's premise is not borne out by the facts and his conclusion is far from the truth. We have never undertaken to boss any job nor have we opposed any man because the farmers put him up. But as a true journalist we have endeavored to express our views of pub lic men and public measures in a fair and straight-forward way, and this we have done without regard to whether it was popular or unpopular, as we con ceived it to be our duty, and wve have always granted the same privilege to any other citizen. Some of the time latterly we have not agreed with MIr. Sligh on some things and that may be the cause of 3Mr. Sligh's amuse ment. When the people in their sove reign capacity decide these public qjuestions and upon these public men, we always submit grracefully to that decision. We would like for MIr. Sligh to point entt when andl where these Newberry editors have ever tried to get the "high places and the fat of the land" for their labor. We do not believe any editor, while such, in Newberry County has ever asked for ofiee at the hands of the people. Certainly neither of the now Newbery editors has ever asked for or received any "high place" or office of any kind. This editor has the con sciousness of having done his duty as he conceived it as editor, without fear or favor, and that he intends to con tinue to do. We try to be fair: we try to be just. WVe may make mistakes. No doubt we have. It is nice to have the popular approval, but the man who rides on the popular wvave and follows the current for popularity's sake will strike the rocks in the end, for popular applause is very uncertain. 3Mr. S:igh should be more specifie. He shiould not be carried so fur away with his amusement at the Newberry editors as to draw conclusions that (do them injustice. We would like to direct Mr. Siigh's attention to the words of the preacher at h is church last Sunday and ask that before he under t tke to condemn in general, h:e put his words through the seive as sug gested in the sermon, "Is it just ? Is it necessary ? Is it kind ? The Cotton P'lant has not yet told us whether Dr. Stokes really believes the argument or statement ma:de by him in his Greenw;oo~d speech, to the efThct that there was a o possible chance for the government ta lose any- money even if it did not receive but $ !' for $SI) adtvancd on eettoni, because the other $40 was in circulation. And then what about the othe:r $&' that the farmer could have received when the* cotton wa~s placed in the wvarehouse. For sonme cause, we presume there is a cause, we do noat any longer receive the Ciharlestonm World on our exchangte list. The H erald and News likes to be on speaking terms with all its cotem poraries, and still we suppose we can manage to get along without the World, but just how the World :s to manage without the Herald and News, we have not been able yet, exactly to see Stil we wish itluk '-t0V WILL IT j,ENEFIr TUE 1~ndert the above<(j:e'tionI Te e a:I News published a short editorial in its issue of June 11. Since that time every issue of the Cotton Plant that we have seen contains a boastful challenge, as it were, to The Herald and News to a discussion of the sub-treasury plan. In order to remind the Cotton Plant of what we wanted we quote again the editorial paragraph in question, which it will be seen was a comment upon a criticism of the Cotton Plant: "It is a pitiful exhibition of obtuse ness or perverseness to hold that the sub-treasurv demand is a demand merely for the benefit of the farmer. It is infinitely broader in its scope. It aims to establish a flexible currency that will relieve every class from the ill-eflect of alternating 'tight' and 'flush' terms in money eirles."-Cot ton Plant. "Will the Cotton Plant tell us in a short, clear, succinct and plain state men t of just how the sub-treasury is to be a benefit to the farmer. We have never been able to see how the scheme would benefit the farmer. A good many of the farmers of Newberry have stored their cotton in Alliance ware houses and by so doing, have lost from six to ten dollars a bate, exclusive of the cost of storage. If the Cotton Plant will favor The Herald and News with such answer to our inquiry as in dicated we will be greatly obliged. Don't give us any 'glittering generali ties,' but deal in plaiu language. It is incumbent on those who press this measure to show affirma'ively where it will benefit the people and also that it is constitutional. The burden of proof is on the advocates of the ineas ure. It is.no argument at all to say to those who do not advocate the measure that they are obtuse, or narrow or per verse. Now if the Cotton Plant has ever an swered the inquiry and given the state ment desired we have failed to see it. The Herald and News has been want ing information and we made the in quiry in good faith. We do not pre atend to any gret amount of learning on the financial questions that are being discussed nud hence we went to the Cotton Plant for a plain and simple statement of how this measure was to benefit the farmer in its practical oper ations. For answer to that we have been waiting. Certainly the people of this country are not going to take abuse for argu ment. The editors and newspapers and men who are being abused as ene mies to the farmers are about as ptri otic and unselfish, to say the least, as their maligners. Surely it is not sup posed that a great economic question can be settled by abusing those who question its wisdom. Surely we have not come to that state of affairs in this State when a man or a newspaper can not question the wisdom of a measure that aflects the whole people without being howled down by every cross roads stump speaker as an enemy to the farmer and a tool of the monopc list. The Herald and News is willing and ready and anxious to advocate any measure that will benefit the farmers and the matter of class legislation does not stand in the way. But the ques with us is, will it benefit the farmer. The trouble is, however, that nearly all these big orators are hunting soft places for themselves and they have taken advantage of circumstances and are trying to ride into office by abus ing other people because they think it is popular. If the plan has merit let it be pressed for adoption on its merits and the peo pe will see themi. Who will be supervisor of registra tion for Newberry County ? Mr. Sligh says the Newberry editors want to run the machine. There is one thing.the farmers ought to learn. Every man or newspaper that criticizes and does not agree to every proposition proposed by some of the so-cailed leaders, is not an enemy to the farmer nir to the Alliance. The controversy between Dr. Stokes and Senator Butler is getting very lively and interesting, but we do not see any argument for or against the sub-treasury in any of this controversy and no good to come of it. It is nar rowed down now to a personal ques tion betwveen Dr. Stokes and Senator Butler. It is a pity about President Harrison and Mir. Blaine. Both seem to want to run for president. Mrr. Hlarri son really seems worried about it and Mr. Blaine is still in bad heahh, but not too sick to annoy MIr. Harrison. We are glad to see that our local co temporary is now in favor of a can nery for Newberry. The Herald and Newvs has spoken of the establishment of such a plant on several occasions, and time and again, but nothing was done. But now that our local cotemiporary is in terested in the matter possibly the plant will be established. It ought to have been done long ago. Labor D)ay will be celebrated in Co lubia next Mfonday. There will be several speeches, a grand paradle and a good time generally. The Georgia Legislature has refused to accept as a free gift a home for (is abled Confederate soldiers. This is strange action indeed. We have truly come upon strange times when wve are unilling to care for those who needI our care and who once risked their all for their country. The excuse was that it might cost the State a small ap propriation each year t'o keep it up. This is reform and economy run mad. But this is a strange year, and a record breaking year. We are truly sorry for the Georgia Legislature. Fx-Alliance Lecturer Talbert seems to give a good gleal of his attention in hi speeches to the newsp)apers and we are sorry to observe that the newspa ers are~disposed to give a good deal of ttentiori to~ himi. HIe does not impress :s as knowing very mnuch, but he ap parently understands the art and value of advertising and enjoys posing as a martyr and victim of persecution. That is quite a strong play to miake this year. The newspapers should seek larger game to use their surplus amnmu nmtioni on.-G reenville News. That is the view The Herald and News has taken of it. WVe may be long to the "fiee" crowd, but wvhen we bark we wvant to have more than a shadow upon which to waste our HE IS CERTAINLY HEE.

The negro is certainly here, and un L6s we stop some of the fool ihness that some of the leaders are cndeavor ing to carry out we will li:; out lie is here to our sorrow and it will be too late to apply the remedy. Tie South has no need of a third party, and the mian who preaches such a doetrine here is our deadliest foe. But we (o not believe that the people are going to be led astray by false teachers. 'Mr. T. J. Drew is associated with Mr. W. D. Wood in the conduct of the Darlingtou Herald. We wish the Heridd success under their nurn:ig ment. Will some one who knows and who is not seeking office and who is unpreju diced, please tell us what is the amount of the circulating medium, and if .t is not as large now as it has ever been. One man says it is -ut $. per capita, and another that it is S24. The Herald and News would like to know what the correct figures are. We direct attention to the article published on the first page written by Prof. R. Means Davis. it a calm and dispassionate review of the Ocala plat form. The defects and objections to the demands of this platform are set forth in good tone and temper and whether you agree with him or not it will repay a careful perusal. The ad vantages may outweigh the disadvant ages, but it is well for us to look at both sides of a question. Especially one that means so much as the adop tion of the demands of the Ocala plat form. The people are thinking fnr themselves now and in order to reach proper and just conclusiots should view all subjects of public import from both sides, and it should be done in a cool, calm and deliberate manner, and not from the standpoint of passion or prejudice. If Dr. Macune realy accepted the "courtesies" he is alleged to have ac cepted at the hands of Pat Calhoun, lie is a disgrace to the Order he is leading. -Sumter Freeman. We agree with our contemporary. But the question is. did lie accept these "courtesies?" Will our neighbor, the Cotton Plant, give us a little light on the subject, please.-Enterprise and Alliance Monitor. But that is the question over which the Cotton Plant and Mr. Latimer have wasted a good deal of ink and space and so far as we have observed have neither aflirmned nor denied. Mir. Hall says he did. The defenders of Mr. MIacnine do not say whether he did or did not accept the courtesies. These certainly do not seem to be "piping times.of peace." It is. a great pity that public men cannot discuss public questions without fighting and quarrelling. But apparently there is very little farbearance or tolerance of difference of opinion. In MIississippi, MicAllister, late presi dent of the State Alliance, and MIa cune, editor of the National Economist, have gotten to blows and from the re ports it would seemi that Dr. Macune was pretty badly used up. In North Carofina a fight betwe -' President Polk, of the National Alliance, and MIessrs. Ashe & Jarnigan, of the Raleigh paper, seems imminent. in Georgia Gov. Northen and President Livingston, of the State Alliance, are waging warfare against each other. All these good Alliance brothers are fighting each other for opinioni's sake. DifTerence of views on the sub-treasury has been the "bone of contention" in nearly every case. Well it is a big question, but might cannot make right, and it c nnot properly be settled by muscle, and now that the Alliance is waging an inter necine war on the question we do not expect that much good will come of the sehene exe,:pt its failure. In the meantime we are simply a looker 01]. A NEW PORT LtOYAL sCHEME. English CapitaUists Revive Peter Pap!n'e Dream -Tihe iIchmnond Termrinal Sy,.tem Interested.

C., August "I .-Senator Butler is at the Battery Park to-night, on his way to M1ighiatds, With his fAnily. Talking wit, the Editor of Tlie State to-night, lie said that he had written letl tvr four or iive d-tys a-go to .J. Wil liami Stokes a-d to Stll's Alliauce, but had not seen ,theI in print. As: ed about purport, the : enator gave the following as a rough outline of what he had written: To Stokes he had ir-t presented a Irief statement of the facts of t ie Pros perity me-ting. He Butler) had been mnvited ther. Lks and his friend. had arranged the terms of the debate, and the Setiator had acceded to them. The Senator then took The State's !-tenographie report of the speeches, stating it to be absolutely correct, and showed that, according to it, Stokes had done him grave injustice, which he re quested int to correct in The State so hat its readers, who had been in formed of his editorial, might see his reply. "I note," he said, "that you predi cate your ediorial upon the report in the 'News and Courier. I'hi., report was not a stenographic report and did not purport to be such, buL it i. jt amen able to the construction you put upon it. The issue is between ourself and myself, and I will beobliged it you will give tue your individual recollection of what I said. You replied to mie in a half hour, anld if I said what you charged me with saying, why did you not rebuke tin( in your presetnee-you, who claim to he the special champion of the farmers*'' To Snell's Alliance, Orangeburg Countv, the president of which is a relative or connection of Stokes, Sen tor Butler wrote in substance as follows, his letter being aidd(ressed to the presi dent: ".A friend has handed mc a copy of a paper containiug your resolutions, as follows: [Resolutions quoted.] I wvill be obliged to you if you will furnish we the source of the information upon whlch you predicate these resolutions. I have never stigmatized the farniers of South Cirolina as thieves and scoun drels. I suppose you mean to intimate, by your language, that I will hear from you again, to intimidate mie front the full and fair expression of my opinions upon public questions, referring, I pre sunme, to niyel< Ction to the United States Senate. You must indeed have a very poor opinion of ne if you suppose for one nioment that I ant to be di verted from the path of duty, as I see it, by any such threats. I may not live to see the election of my suvcessor, but if I should, I shall abide the consequ ences with reasonable complacency. There are some things dearer to me than holding oflice-among them are my own self-respect and freedom of conscience. I would not surrender these forall the offmes the State could bestow upon me. The people of South Carolina sent me to the Senate, and when they retire me, I si. make no complaint. But one thing .. ,ertain: I do not intend to permit p Ii ial bush whackers and guerrilas to get between me and the people, if I can hell) it. "An early reply will very much oblige yours, etc." Senator Butler, as will be understood from the foregoing letters, is very much in earnest. He has not seen his letters in print yet, and they are not of the character which eitherStokes or Snell's Alliance would like to ptublish without pressure. Senator Butler tells me to-night that at the Batesburg meeting on the 9th of September he wili formally announce himself asa candidate for re-election to the United States Senate, and will say that iie will sacrifice his election before he will abate one jot or tittle of his con scientious opposition to the sub-treasury scheme and other devices of the men threatening him. The Senator is in the fight, and the hottest of it, front this time forward, and wvill meet his op)po neuts upon -every stump in South Lettf r from Virginia. The gardeni spot of Virginia is saidi to be i tue Shenandoah Valley. There may be sonie truthi in the statement buit I do not think the whole truth. No doubt there is a charm over this beautLi ful stretch of country extending over 204) miles because Stonewall Jackson and his Foot Cavalry used to make such hurried marches through it. A nd maybe too there is some Indian ro mance connected with it. Again the great natural curiosities of our counitry, the Natuial Bridge and Luray Caves are both within this valley. All these with others go to make this a lovely valley, but the palm must not be yielded uncontested. For I think in Botetourt County there are somlescenles hardly surpassed by the Alps. True there are no sntow peaks to lend en chantment to the view, but instead of these fields of ice we find well tilled farms yielding ant ab'mndant crop of wheat, corn or oats. Lotsley's R~un on the top of the Allegheney Mlountains is one of the most beautiful spots .1 have ever beheld. Looking East from the pike, stretching out before you for 2(u or 30 miles with the grim Blue Ridge ris ing up) grandly as a back ground one is abntost carried awvay with the prosp)ect. Sublimely grand indeedl. Noone need travel to E urope to) behold the grand uer of1 nature. Here in the ntountains of Virginia, his eye can behold scenes both wild, wierd mand picturesque. If the swiss boy with his Alpine horn could be. brought here, and as the scene slowly and mtajestically sinks away be hin(t the western horizon, he pealing fromi each peak the good night of those people, we would have Switzerland in our idst. We have no Mlat terborn with its dan gerous ice fie;d and floe, but near by on the renownea peaks of GtLer where snow has fallen as late or early as Juite 12th. These peaks are excelled by but one p)oiut ini height in the Sonuthi, Look out 1outnt-ii. The p)eaks are fast be corning a point intterest to tourists. Thte proutietiveness of the soil in this county (Botetourt) cannot be gatinsaid because the people are exceeditngly thrifty and guiteca number have a can petency. Life with thema is what they iake it and they understand it the best of any pe .pie with whom J have cmtte in contact. That btitter, anid it might justly be calledt the prince of butter, apple t)utter finds its highest state of p)erfei)tn, and no meal is coiiplete without lt. Those who have not yet tastedl this food have missed, in this life a great deal. In Southwest Virginia, Botetourt County takes the lead as a fruit paLck ig county. Last year lit less thtani 3 packeries were ini ol.erationI. Tomtoest)(, corn beans. pieaches and apiples are tihe chief articles p,acked. TIhis year lhe apple crop is entormotisly heavy.

K Til E COUNTY TEACIlES. A I tit eretii Intiiute int IProre. at Neu - herry This,4 Week-Well Attentied by th Te:wiier. of the County. The Newberry Comillv Teache.r' inl stitute met 'onday morning at the Acadernv building utider most javor able auspices. Thir!y teachers were en tolled. The director, Mr. Itobt. M,)rri Sol, ipened tie Intistitute by placing upon the b-lackbf).rd the followingsug gestions,,vz. Atteltive. 'unlpathIe,:(. f rul. Loe:sttl A fter comme tin on the~ above, Lhe first subject of the p'r .11oura.me, opening school, was taken up by _Mr. Iorrison. This subject being of1 great importance was thoroughly discus-ed with the fact that to begin right is a great stride to wards succes:-; and that to begin right. it is necessary to be -Vt matic; and to attain this Vl the Chiltren Should be formled, marched in, and seated by sig nals. That classes should be called up and dismissed in like manner. The second qUetion, "Questions," being now in order was taken up by Mr. Morrison ilwho sugges.ed that in a recitation of thirty minutes, ten min tites be given to preliminary questions, that is to a review of preceding lt-ssotts and to facts leading up to the lesson of the day, then lifteen minutes to stimu lative or instruWtive queitioas that bear on the dIay's lesson, and five minutes to examination <lum'-tions, such <questions as will indicate to the teacher the el1i ciency of his work. He also su.gestsd that vague or un answerable <testionvs be not asked. The Institute no'1 had the honor to welcome otie amottg the foretost lady teachers of the state, Miss Annie Bon han, of Columbita. It beiht now near the closing hour the I tstitute ad journed till W. o'clock Tuesday torn in g. On Tuesday morning we were pleased to note an increase in the num.-ber of teachers, the roll reaching 27. This morning we have oui hand a most excellent corps of Institute work ers, to wit, Mr. Morrisoni, Mis, lon ham, Dr. .Joynes, antl Mr. Welch, of Cleison College. Every one sueitd full of enthutsiasm aud entered heartily into tile work. The only drawback was, that the time allowed was too short for the excellent talks tnade by the workers.. The first sUbject Oil tihe progrAmime, primary work, was assigned to Mis. Bonham. In her own inimitable way. she im premsed it upon her hearers, that read ilg was the study of llost ipllrtance for litt!e children; that a combined ietho:,I was most satisfactory; that familiar words should first be taught. that a 1ist should be kept for review and to be able to tell when a word was new; that we should show the object, then give the name; that by printilng the name under tile written natme the transition from script to print was easy. Later in Lhe day as a continuation of primary work, Miss Bonan showed that the child learned new words by memiory and by phoneticanalogy; that the child should be taught to read in an intelligent manner from the very first, that at least four reading lessons per day should be given, ani these not over ten minutes in duration. The second subject, arithmetic, was as signed to Mr. Welch. Mr. Welch began with the Least Common 31ultiple and Greatest Comn man)f Divisor andl presented the subjects iu a terse and lucid manner which cap tured the assembled teachers and visi tors. Unfortunately tile time was all too short to get thlrotugh the subject, but we look forward with great pleas tire to its continuance to-morrow. Mr. Welch also begatn a most inter esting lecture on penmtanship, showing that every curve and right time used in thbe formation of a letter was derived froin the ellipse. The subject of Higher English, En glish grammar, was assigned to Dr. Joyntes. He held his audience in deep est attention during his talks, and the bell rang far too soon. The lecture was exemplified beauti fully by drawinig on the blackboard. Amuong other things he said that En gish granmmar wvas not indispenlsable; that groUnld work was most iuportant, anid tihe very best teachers should be piut inl chargve of p)rimary work. T he mcost important study was reading. Teach to read withl the intellect and soul; not only with the eye-enter into the subject matter and feelings of the at]thor. Dr. Joynes also empljhasized the fact that spelling was most deplorably nleg lected by the youth of the present day. Later as a continuation Dr. .Joynes said that English grammar did nlot teach us how to speak and write En glish correctly. It was on]y a guide; We learn to speak by speakinig, and learn to write by writing. That gramt mar is a disciplinary study. En:iglish grammnar is diilicult to teach, because. st it is our mother tonlgue, 2nd be cause it is non-grammatical. Tihe sen tence is thle unit of expressionl in EnI glish, tile word in Latin. lin Latn tile endinig or uniform tells all about the word. Ini English wve multst knowi tile sentenlce to get the meaning. All this tL e doctor proved in a most sat isfactory matnner. We could have listened much longer with great pleasure and profit. Thle subject of hi:-tory, assignled to Mr. Morrison wvas ably presented. He wrote down 25 suggestions on the board, which suggestions plainly indlica ted the course to t>e pursued inl teachitng historyV. Historical study was dlivided ito three classes represented by three circles, iiner circle representing inbdi vidual history, the second circle, nla tional; the third eirele, philosophical history. HeI stressedi the use of relics it coflnecti')>n with tile event under discussion in order to give itncreased in teest; during tile talk hle used very apt historical incidlents to emph)lasize his ~em arks.
