ELBERT IL AULL. E r:Tro. ELBERT IL AULL , Proprietors. WM F. H0uSy S A NE WBER RY. S. C. THURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, l- r THE BATESBrUG DEBATE. I attended the much talked of de bate that took place at Batesburg last' Wednesday between Senator Butler: and Congressman Watson. On the first page we publish this week a full report of the speeches. I i,.nt a special from there last week and I regret ex ceedingly that it had so many errors in it. Some of the sentences had bo connection. The fault was not that of the debate and I don't think it was mine. The boys say the chirography of the operator was such that they could not make it out. Be that as it may, the errors were there, and I only make this explanation in justice to the debaters. No synopsis of the speeches need be given by me in this connection as it is published in full elsewhere. Batesburg is a charming little vil lage. I reached there early in the I morning and everything was as quiet t as Newberry on a dull day. The speakers and their escorts arrived the night before. But the town gave no evidence of the big debate that was to I take place. The crowd was not there, and when the horn called the clans to gether at half-past eleven o'clock, I do . not think the crowd all told exceeded I 700 or 800, to state the fact. Every body seemed to be in good humor, and so far as I could observe the best of feeling prevailed during the entire day. The audience was attentive and both speakers got plenty of applause. Col. Thomas E. Watson is Congress man-elect from the tenth Georgia dis trict in which is the city of Augusta. His home is at Thompson, and he is a lawyer by profession, although recently after having lost most of his lawlibrary by fire, he sold the remainder and has given up the practice. He is said to be well-fixed in this world's goods, hav ing large farming interests. He is a young man just ;36 years old; small of stature, I would say weighing not more than 130 pounds. He wears no beard, but has :a p!enteous supply of dark hair which he wears combed straight down over his forehead like "bangs." He hasa bright eye. is quick at repartee, and whenever a question is put to hin -he turns it to his advant age. He is one of the best stump speakers I have heard in a long time. He knows how to get next to, down into, around and under a crowd as suc cessfully as any man I have ever heard. His anecdotes were at least new in South Carolina. They may be old in Georgia, but they were different from those used by all the other speakers I a have heard on that side of the ques tion. There is no doubt he made a good impression on his audience. Whether there was any argument in what he said or not is another ques- d tion. There is nothing particularly t striking in the personal appearance of Col. Watson, and yet he would attractI your attention. His face and expres sion has the appearance of a student. Everybody knows Senator Butler. His personal appearance was in strik ing contrast to that of Col. Watson. He treated his Georgia opponent with the strictest courtesy, and enjoyed as much as any one else, his humor and wit and flights of eloquence, for at times Col. Watson became eloquent. Col. Watson chose to open and reply, and no limit seems to have been placedr on the time each should occupy. Co]. Watson spoke altogether something more than three hours while Senator Butler occupied only a little more thanb one hour. Most of the audience heldt out faithfully to the end. * I listened attentively to both of the a speeches of Col. Watson. I heard all y he said. I did not hear all of Senator d Butler's speech. A nd to be candid, I E do not think either one discussed thet sub-treasury plan very extensively, att ]east. The burden of Col. Watson's bi s;>eech, as I understood it, was that the I government loaned the national banks 01 money at one per cent.; therefore the n4 banks ought to be abolished, because they constitute a favored class, and the. government ought to loan money -direct to the people at two per cent., on ai land and nonperishable farm products. ~ This, howvever, as Dr. Stokes would P1 say, "is merely a deduction by logical ai process' from his language. w * * I have heard President Polk. of the a: National Alliance; I have heard Lec turer Willetts, of Kansas; President de Stokes, of the State Alliance, and Col. W Tomn Watson, of Georgia, and yet so at far as I have been able to see none have at shown just how this great financial scheme is to be of practical benefit to the farmer in its practical operations. tr I may be obtuse-the scheme may be CC beyonid my comprehension-but I r know I am not perverse for I have tried to see the relief in it that seems to be desired, but I have not yet been I able to discerne it.A Col. Watson got ofl somex tine rhetoric and pictured the condition of the poor farmer in words that would arouse sympathy from the hardest of hearts. That is all mighty tine, but st ill it is no b argument in favor of the plan. He th talked about the high rate of interest, ca and that it the government could nc lend money to the banks at one per s cent. oni its debt, why not let the farm- ar ers have it at two per cent. on land and products of laud. That is all very pleasant to the fellow who wants to p borrow, and I belong to that class, but ist yet that does not prove how this great th financial plan will benefit the great mass of our people. He told us about how impossible it was for a man to sell Ot a horse for $:200) when there was only tio $100 to buy him with. That is all very we true, but if I have no horse to sell how sa can I get the $100 even. an< The more I have heard of this scheme jthe the more I am convinced of its imprac- hai I admit frank.v that I don't k bow ;,t what is needed. but I believe if we -rt less of our money away from home >r corn, and bacon. and mules, and ors, and a lot of other things that -e ought to raise at home, that every ody would be better off. But this is off the question. Senator Butler offered the same emedies he did at Prosperity. I re -eal of the ten per cent. tax on State anks of issue; a reduction of the tariff; conomy in the administration of the overnment; and plant only ten acres r the muh. I don't know just how his State bank business would work. t would not cost so much to try it. teduction of the tariff and economy in be administration of the government re both sound. Ten acres of cotton to he mule won't do. In place of that I vould say raise your own supplies at ome and just as much cottou as you an in addition. Col. Watson was elected as a T Pemo rat to represent the tenth Georgia dis rict in Congress. He says he is in avor of the Ocala platform from the >ottom up. If that platform is not dopted by the Democratic party he loes uot say what he will do, but added hat he was for the Ocala platform. 7he "deduction" I made by "logical >rocess" from what he said, was that if he Ocala platform was not alopted by he Democratic party, then he was for hat party that would adopt the Ocala 'latform, be it Republican or third >artv. Yet he said he was a Democrat nd maintained that the Ocala plat orm was good democratic doctrine. rhis declaration was only faintly ap >lauded. Yet when tLe hand primary ras taken a large majority of those -oting favored the Ocala platform and he sub-treasury. Ido not think, how ver, that there were exceeding 150 Lands that went up. Possibly 20). There is one thing that can be said >r this debate. Every body was in a ood humor and the two contestants ought their battle in a nanly and riendly way. This is what I would ike to see done in the newspapers and very where. There is no ase of bitter Less or personal animosity. But this nodern science of "deduc;iou by logi al process'' sometimes twists a man's anguage so as to make him say things hat he never dreamed of. * * President Stokes was not present. 'ossibly it was just as well that he was lot. ** I left Batesburg the night of the peaking and returned to Columbia. * * * Rev. J. A. Sligh and Col. Tom Hol )way, of Newberry, were both present. am glad I heard Col. Wat-on. E. H. A. The Cotton Plant can take its own ood time to give The Herald and iews that plain 'tatement in repard ) the sub-treasury, and also about that rgumient of Dr. Stokes in his Green rood speech. We know that Editor tokes' time is very much occupied 3st now. The Herald and News never ermits itself to become excited, and oes not care to encroach upon the .me of the Cotton Plant. We hope, owever, that too much of that brilliant ght will not be turned on our darkened ind all at once. Lecturer Keitt says in a card pub shed in the last Cotton Plant that 'he Herald and News "by means of eadlines falsely stated "that he had de ared himself a third party man, and 2en asks that his card published in he Herald and News be published. V'e are glad to know that Lecturer eitt is not a third party man, but as >the false headlines we have only to ~mark, as Dr. Stokes would say, "they 'ere merely a deduction by logical rocess" from his speech at Fellerd' irbecue. We hope this is satisfactory >Mr. Keitt. Gov. Tillman in his labor day speech ;Columbia last week says that "if >u disrupt the Democratic party Pan >ra's box of evil will be turned loose. verybody knows that it will mean te ruin at the State." That is very ue, but it looks to us that eff'ort is ing made to that end. There is too ;tle forbearance and tolerance of >inion amongst our people. We fear >good can come of it all. The Herald and News has been try g for more than a week to find some gument, in (Col. Watson's speech of ree hours, in favor of the sub-treasury an, but the more we try to dissect and alyze what he said the less able are e to find anything there showing >w this subtreasury plan would prove good law. But, then, possibly this is "merely a 'duction by logical process" from bat he said. There was wit, humor id, at times, eloquence in his speech, id we like to hear him talk. The anti-Third party and anti-sub rasury portion of the alliance has a nvention in St. Louis this week. It et on Tuesday. From the papers yes rday it was not as large or harmoni s as was expected by its friends. Ex -esident U. S. Hall, of the Missouri liance seems to be engineering it. anly of the Alliance men think the.y ght to remain in the order and not ~r a new Alliance. Mr. J. S. Fassett has been nominated -the Republicans of New York as eir candidate for governor. The indi ions are that the Democrats will minmate Roswell P. Flower as their ondard bearer. Things and politics~ Ssomewhat mixed-even in New >rk. Jov. Tillman's home Alliance has ssed resolutions endorsing his ad mini ration and pledging its adherence to Democratic party. ['he Herald and News thinks the server hit the key-note of the situa n in a very thoughtful editorial last ek. As long as we continue to buy much corn, bacon and other things, I raise nothing but cotton to pay for in, our farmers are going to have -d times and no legislation can cure 0ail LET THE PEOI'LE CHOOSE Pre-ilent Polk, of the National Alii ance, is accredited in an interview from Xansa. a-s deciaring for a third party, and says that it will sweep every Southern State in r Some seem to think that the interview is not genuine. We hope it is not. But sorne things point so strongly that way that the time is coming, if it is not already bere, when the people should know where at least the leaders stand onl this 'lues tion. He says that they will take care of the negro vote-that a good many of the col-red people are already in the Alliance. We suppose it would be pr>.Ier to conclude from that declaration that he expects the colored vot-- to go with the thiA party. Preideut Polk will see when the third party comes where the negro vote will go. Gov. Tillman says that if we disrupt the Democratic party that it will not only mean ruin to the State-speaking of South Carolina but it will meana return of the carpet bag rule. President Polk says "the negro domination cry won't prevent a break of the solid Dermocracy." A break of the solid Democracy in the South will mean the election of a Re publican president and a perpetuation of that rule against which all this cry has been made, and from which has emanated the unjust legislation of which we have been complaining. It will mean a defeat of the Democratic party- the party of the people. But then th:y say that President Polk wants to be President of the United States. We heard that at Spartanburg-that Mr. Terrell had iu timated as much-but we did not think his ambition in that direction would take him so far as to try to de feat the Democracy, the only party through whose success the relief de sired can be secured. We do not think the people of this section want any third party. We do not think so, but then we may be mis .aken. We do not think there is need for it, nor room for it here. But then it is a question the people must decide. Whether they will sacrifice Democracy or will follow the lead of Mr. Polk. We do not think the white people of this State will divide to (ollow any such lead, but then we may be mis taken. These are strauge times. It would be suicidal for us to divide. But theu, as the Greenville News says, "let the people choose which they will serve and make their answer known. Let them say whether they will allow themselves to be fooled, con trolled and led by President Polk, who wants to be president of the United States, to going into this new party, or whether they will stand by and with the Democratic party-the party of freedom, of honesty and economy, of local self-government-the party that believes in, loves and fosters American manhood." 'A REMEDY" PROPOsED. The leaders of the subtreasury discus sion say they want that or "something better." The A bbeville Press and Ban ner off'ers as the remedy, or something better, the following observations. They may interest some of our readers, and we give them as information. The Press and Banner might have added to the list that the general government pay the South for its slaves: "Trhe only 'something better' that we can think of just now would be to require Congress to pay off the pensions in Confederate money. Let the old Confederates be authorized to sell to the Government their old bills. and in case any are lost let the Government reissue any amount that the t>eople of the Southern States may make oath that they or their relativea had lost. By requiring the Government to give us greenbacks for our Confederate money we would be set up again, with out dioing any harm to any body. As we took the Confederate money for actual service the Federal soldiers should not object to taking their pen sions in it. If the suggestion to pay off the Union soldiers in Confederate money doesn't bring enough money to the country, then reauire Congress to pension Alliance lecturers and super annuated leaders of the 'noble Order' who want office and can't get it.. WVe are quite sure this ex pedient would dis tribute some money in the South." "Those who live by office are more solicitous of votes than they are of the public welfare." It would be a good idea if the people could be m de to realize the truth of the above sentence. It is true, and sad it is. TO FIGHT DEMOCRACY. Chairman Barnes Says Congressman WVat son Winl Go to Ohio. [Atlauta Constitution.] CINerNNATI, September 12.-Tom Watson, elected as a Democratic coiu ressman from Georgia, is coining to Ohio as a Third party orator. His companion will be C. C. Post, of Douglasville, formerly of Chicago. Such is the news gained from a trip to Tiffin yesterday, where I had an in erview with the chairman of the People's party committee. Mr. Barnes lives at Tfittin, and is the ditor of a labor paper called the Plow and Hammer, and up to last year was a Republican. Since the opening of the People's party campaign Mir. Barnes has had so much work that he has had to hire a large force of clerks to aniswer the great correspondence ,hich comes to his oilice by every mail. 31r. Barnes declared that the new arty would elect members of the Leg sature in sixteen counties, sure. Of ourse, fifteen are Republican and one Democratic. In twenty-eight counties he Democrats will endorse the people's icket, and in ten Democratic counties the Republicans will follow suit. The arty has a complete organization in even ty-six of the eighty-eigh t counties in the State. The State commit tee will end Jerry Simpson aud Mrs. Lease to the unorganized counties and turn them oose there. w ATSON A ND P'oST. All the prominent Alliance speakers n the country, both North and South, ~vill be here to help the People's party. -He said that Georgia was dloing hand omely for the new party. IIe had re eived a letter wvhich assured him tat that State would contribute 1,000 to the campaign fund. Congress an Watson and C. ('. Post have romised to come and speak for the Tird party. The People's party in ennsylvania has already raised a fund t help their brethren in Ohio. Massa husetts will send $,500, and there will e contributions from Kansas, Nebr as a, Minnesota, Missouri, and other tates. It is astonishing how rapidly the feble and debilitated gain strength and igor when taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla. or what is called "broken-down con titutions," nothing else has proved so fective as this powerful but perfectly afe medicine. PRESIDENT POLK INTERVIEWED. lie Declare for the Thirdl Party-South ern Farsmers Advised to Desert the Dezuocracy --ome Interesti ng URead ing for southern Alliance Men. [Special to the News and Courier.] 1oPEKA, KANSAS, September I::. President Polk, of the Sational Alli ance, has made three adde.,ses in Kan sas. President Polk's opening has been devoted principally to himself. After giving his boyioo history, he reaches the war period. He states that he did not go into the rebellion from choice. He upheld the Union until the wave of secession swept over the South. when he did as many others dio who were forced to shoulder their muskets. He had beeu oftired command of a corn pany, but refused it, as acceptance would have been construed into en dor-ewent of the cause whose arms he carried. He afterwards accepted the otfice he held because by doing so he could indirectly aid tho.,e who were fixbting for the prervation of the Union and in a degree, mitigate the sufiferings of those, who, like himself, had been forced to bear armzs against their country. WVhile not speaking directly about the coUteiplaLed strike of the cottoi: pickers in the South, he Said: "I'he uppre"sed agrieuitural laborers should anf shall demand the right of naming tbeconipensatieu for then .:ervices, and until these demauds are acceded to let every field in the laud contain only the rotted products, North or South. You here, he said, are fortunate in being your own lahorr but the pluto crats of other St... must be com pelled to acknowledge the God-given rights of laborers, whether they be white or black. Some of our bre bren have already wade their demands and they will be granted, or entire regions will contain ouly fanilies ruined by their own greed." In an iuterview to day Col. Polk stated that the Alliance movement was gaining thousands of converts throughout the South daily, and the great mass of farmers, planters and laboring m,n had deserted the Dem ocratic party and were standing square ly on the Ocala platform. "I believe," he said, "the 'I hird Party will sweep every state in the South in 1592. The old uo,ses down there have tried to bulldoze and force the people to take their Democratic medicine, but with out resrit. Withiu the past six months I could have had any oltice in the gift of the Democratic party, but I would not sell my principles for pottage." Polk uttered these words with feel ing and declared eternal warfare on both old parties. The bloody shirt he said will be wrapped around the old sectional agitators and they will be buried too deep for resurrection. Will the Alliance conference at Washington in February declare for a Third Party? I cannot say, but there will be a rhird Party. It might have been prevented four months ago, but now it is too late. Our people in the South have been abused and sneered at by the Democratic bosses and Democratic press, and we will stand it no longer. The negro domination cry wont pre vent a break of t'be solid Democracy. We will take care of the negro, and see that they are allowed to vote. They are largely in this movement and will be an important factor in the cam paign next y:ar. How about the pension question? The Alliance has nothing to say against the pensioning of soldiers who fought. We accepted the result as final and acquiesced. We shall never raise our voice against tbe legitimate pension of Union soldiers. It is the result of warfare, and we can shake hands with our Northern brothers who wore the blue, and feel that they are receiving only justice from a Government whom they helped to preserve. The pending question was about party platforms. Polk said the People's Party would, in his opinion, carry every Southern State next year. Tihe Alliance was for the O'.ala demands and would have nothing less. HE PRO.MISES TO BREAK TilE SOLID SOCTH. [Special to News and Courier.1 ToPEKA, Kan., Sept. .15.- President Polk, of the Farmers' Alliance, ad dresed the 7th district meeting to-day at Wichita. He devoted an hour to the pension question and other matters foreign to the Ocala demands. lHe de clared that there was not an honorable Confederate soldier who ever coin plained because Union soldiers were pensioned and demanded that one5 be named who was opposed to the same. In a con versation to-day with L. F. Yont, a prominent Third Party leader, of Kans:as, he .said to your correspon dent: "We are going to burst the solid South, the negroes are going with us, and the next national met eting of the Alliance will declare for a free vote and a fair count in the South, and President Polk will first recommend it in his message.'' He hesitated a iioment and said that "he ought not tosay that, but he had heard that Polk had determined to dlo this.'' Polk has promised the Third Party leaders in Kansas that he will break the solid Souib, and they demand that he proceed to do it if the Ex-Republi ans and Ex-D)emocrats in Kansas are to be held in the mew party.
