E&LBERIT I AULL, E~DITOR. ELBERT IL AULL, Prop W3LP. HOUS- At NEWBERRY. S. C. TM.URSDAY, OCTOBEI" 1, 191. LET THE ISSUE BE r,AIRLY JOINED. There seems to be in this State now three factions in the Democratic party. Those in the Alliance who want the Ocala platform and its demands, other who oppose these demands and still be long to the Alliance, and may be termed the Tillman men. Still another sect, who oppose the demands of the Ocala platform and still oppose Till taan, and may be called the anti-Till man men. All oflhese Mlong to the Democratic arty, or claim to be Derocrats. Now the question is how to get all these factions together. It is true this is an off year in poli:ics, but in as much as so much politics has already been ta'ked, and we see this division among our people, we had as well start in time to get them together. It seems to us that every boiv who goes into the Demoeratie priinaries ought to be bound by the results ol those frimaries. Every man in these primaries ought to be free to expresS his individual preference without re gard to any outside influence. Let us have a fair, square issue and let the minority submit to the will of the ma jority. To illustrate, we do not think the majority in the Alliance ought to bind the hinority in that body to be obe dient to and follow what the majority of that faction may say or think is not meeting the issue . in the Democrati * And the sa'ue to apply to the other fac tions. Let the issue be fairly joined and let evcr- :.::: g i the DemoeratiC primaries uniamineled by any out side organization or affiliation, and if majority decide that they want tc make the Ocala platform the platform of the Democracy, why let us submit. If a majority decide against it, as WE think they will, why let the minority likewise submit, but in any event let u have a fair, square fight like men. The white people in South Carolin must stiek togetiier. There is no use fighting each other. We all want tc see our State prosper and we all have a common interest. Then let us fight this thing out like men without slander and abuse. OUT OF WHOLE CLOTU. Under the beadline "Is it true?" The Newberrv Herald and News prints an anonymous correspondence, no-date, no-where, in which occurs the follow ing: "'I was in~ Walhalla a few days ago, and had a conversation with one of the directors of the Oconee News. The rdirector told me that J. Win. Stokes, of the Cotton Plant. refused to ex change with the Oconee News, because the Oconee News was an Alliance paper sad had taken some subscribers fromn the Cotton Plant." As a matter of fact, if we have ever refused to exchange with the Oconee News, we do not know it. We do know that we ordered it upon our list of exchanges. We get the News occa sionly, and supposed the Cotton Plant was going to the News office. We do not know that the News has taken any of our subscribers; but if it has, we cheerfully say that we don't know any paner we would rather benefit by our los~s. Whenever any of our subscribers in Pickens conclude to leave us, we will regret to part with them, of course; but trust they will always take some ____ oth.er true Alliance paper. But suppose wve had rated the News as a rival (which we certainly did not) what commion sense relation would our refusal to exchange with a rival bear to fairmindedness. We are not suprnsed the originator of so verdant an idea should write from no-where, no date, and be ashamed to sign his name. We trust The Herald and News will illustrate the fairness it preaches so well to us and answer the question it asked in that headline.-Cotton Plant. Certainly, with pleasure, headline and all. Remember now that the headline to this article is that of the Cotton Plant and not of The Herald and News. We will do more, too, and say to the Cotton Plant, tha: the writer of the squib in qutestion lives some where, and is not ashamed to sign his name and that he is ready to substanti ate what he said, to wit: that a director of the Oconee News Co. gave him the information. His name is Warren G. Peterson. His post office addres is Belmont, S. C., Newberry County. He lives some ten or twelve miles west of Newberry, and is a farmer. Further, he is an honest, upright and truthful citizen, means what he says and says what he means, and is not ashamed to sign his name to any statement he nmay make. We do not know whether he belongs to the Alliance or not. * But the truth of the statement in question is between the director of the Oconee News andi the Cotton Plant. Mr. Peterson got his information as he said from a director of the News Pub lishing Co. That director is M1r. John S. Floyd, ef Oconee County, a member of the Alliance, a strong adlvocate of the Alliance demands. The Herald News does not know his post oflice ad dress, but supposes the Cotton Plaut does, as he is a subscriber to that p)ubll cation, and in order to get clippings fro:u it for the News he has to cut them from his paper. and he gave 3Mr. Peter son the information that the Cotton Plant would not exchange. This was about the lBth of Auaust. The editor of The H erald and News has not seen Mr. Peterson in some time and obtained the above information at the time he handed us the quib, as we thought possibly thiere was somec mi take. * Is the Cottou Plant satisfied with this illustration of fairnes'? It's all wool and a vard wi:de. We would like to sugge.: that the Cotton Plant keep cool. There is no use getting excitedl. The correspon dents of The Herald and Nev.s are real, live, living beings, who live somewhere, and write at sonme time andi are not ashamed of what they write. The Herald and Newvs not only p)reaches fairness, but it practices it. Congressman J1. J1. Henoill has just returned from a European trip. He says it broadens one's views and increases one's patriotismi to visit ai foreign country. -~ -~-~K LET US HAVE IT. The Herald- and News desires to sa, in reply to the strictures of the Cottoi Plant, that it has always been an e3 ceedingly modest newspaper; that i never promised to discuss the subtrea ury plan with the Cotton Plant; ths it does not assume to know a great des about the great financial questions, bu that it believes it knows as much a some people who are discussing thes questions. The extent of our promi to discuss this subtreasury plan *was i: asking the Cotton Plant to give us plain statement as to how this greo scheme, if enacted into law, woul benefit the farmer in its practical oper ations. If that statement has eve been given we have failed to see i! We do remember that the'Cotton Plar on one occasion submitted some que, tions. That was not what we aske for and it was not what we expecte of the Cotton Plant. If an explana tion of Dr. Stokes' Greenwood speec has ever been made we have neve seen it. Further, if that statement is givei we will publish it of course, and with out headlines at all, if the Cotton Plan prefers. It is a rule of this offic4 that when an article is criticized i the editorial columns to givethe artie' in full, so that the reader may decid for himself. That is fair is it not? Doe the Cotton Plant do the same? Tb Cotton Plant has frequently criticize The Herald and News, but if it ha ever given more than an extract c what The Herald and News hn sai we have failed to see it. But then tb Cotton Plaut does not "claim to b fair." We would not have asked fo the plain statement ijwe had nc intended .to Th&i'it. We will als u our opinion of the statemen1 We have been wanting informatio: and asked for the statement in goQ .ith. Let it come and we promis you to publish it without prejudicih headlines. HE CERTAINLY SAID IT. We see from the Cheraw ReportE that the Sumter Freeman's candi opinion is that Dr. Eokes never uttere the words attributed to him about ther being no loss to the government eve if the man who put cotton in the wart house did not redeem it and the goN er-ment only received $40 for the Se advanced, because the other $40 woul be in circulation. The Freeman ma not believe it, because the utterauc was reported by what the Freeman i pleased to term a "hostile press," bu all the same, Dr. Stokes said it in hi speech at Greenwood. The editor c The Herald and News was present an heard it and so reported it in our nex issue, and remarked upon the argumen that in our opinion Dr. Stokes did nc believe it himself. Dr. Stokes, in th Cotton Plant, afterwards said, that ou report of that meeting was fair, excep that we charged him with sayin; things that he did not believe himsell Then we asked him if he really be lieved that the government would los nothing because the money was in ci] culation, and we have asked him agair and as yet have received no reply. Di Stokes certainly made the statemen and we do not believe that he will den; Dr. Stokes on that occasion, as w' understood it, discussed the plan a outlined in the bill that they say nov is dead, and answered the objection that had been urged against it. We would like to ask Mir. Wolfe, thi associate editor of the Cotton Plant what he calls.his recent article in th< State. Is it an argument on the finan cial question, sub-treasury, land loai schemne,or the Ocala platform orall comn bined. Or yet further, is it merely:a tirade of personal abuse with a long lis of ugly epithets and inelegant diction and are these by "deduction by logica process" to take the place of solid ar gumen t. We have nothing to do witi Mr. Wolfe's quarrel with Mr. Duncar and the News and Courier, only wi have been frequedtly told by the Cot ton Plant and the leaders of the Alli ance that all the abuse, personal and otherwise, came from what some o: them please to term the oppositior press and those who oppose the de mands, and we are told this has beer offered in place of argument. This if the reason we inquire what Mr. Wolf4 calls his production in the State. W4 only want information. "H" furnishes us another articlh this week. It is y>etry this time. That is we presume it is. It has thal appearance. This one is still more mysterious. We confess to our ina bility to understand it. You may read it for yourself. This week "H" talks about the 'ty COOnl of the bailivick." We presume that is more poetic Last week it was the "bailiwick o: inutilitarian repose." There is too much "bailiwick" aboul all this thing for the comprehensior of The Herald and News. It may hav4 soime reference to the sub'-treasury plan or the Ocala platform. Or still it maj have some reference to The Heralh and News, but we are unable to sa' just what is meant. We presume il wil! be best to say that it is a soliloqua in blank verse on headlines. It is getting pretty thick and slightl3 complicated. The Alliance leader: want subtreasury, land loans and flood, of money.' The prohibition issue if eprung on us iu this State. Kansa! conmes to the front with a newv allianct formed for thbe purpose of securing fo. women the right to vote and the wives of all the leaders-of the other alliance there are in it. The Peoples party i: already on deck wvith its demands foi an eight hour day and an increasec Dension list. Now let the Second Ad v-entists, Trheosophists, Spiri tualists Nihiilists and bloomers have a showin1 and we can get up by inext year agranc flexible plattormi and sweep the coun trv.-Greenville News. This would make a very broad, and not only flexible, but elastic platform and might sweep the country, but Thb Herald and News would like to knov where it would sweep it to. We p)ublish elsewhere this week ai article explaining the question of "frei coinage" of silver. He hope this wil be interesting to our readers. It give the facts and figures in connectiom "THE WHANG DOODLE MOURNS." i Such is the headline used by The i New berry Herald and News to an ae count of some Alliance meetings, that were addressed by Dr. Pope, Col. Keitt t and Lecturer Jefferies. - As Col. Watson said, "Now how 'lo t you like that, sonny?" that is to sav, you Alliance people of Newberry. Cotton Plant. t The headline was simply a quotation s from what was said in the account of e the meeting, and quotation marks were e placed around it to show that it was a 2 quotation. The headline was intended ' to convey an idea of what the article t contained. The article was written by a farmer and a member of the Alli ance. The Herald and News was not r present at the speaking. We have no excuse or apology for using the head t line in the sense in which it was used by us. We only refer to it here and quote the Cotton Plant to show the baseness and the littleness of the Cotton Plant in making the insinuations con 2 tained in the quotation above. It is r an effort to injure The Herald and News in the estimation of the good people of Newb(rry County. Honor able journalism ought to be pitched t upon a higher plane. ABOUT HEADLINES. e A great deal has been said lately e about headlines. The Herald and News desires to state here that it does e not write its editorial opinions in head lines. In writing headlines our idea has always been to try to indicate by them what is contained in the article and not to express an opinirn.. Th e opinions of this paper may always be e foumtn-thiieditorial columns. Some times we have used an expression con r tained in the article and whenever that has been done quotation marks have always been used. If headlines are not for the purpose of letting you know what the article contains we would like to know what use they subserve. Mr. Talbert says to the News and Courier, that he intends to remain with the Democratic party and fight r within the ranks for the Ocala plat form, and if he is beaten to still reniain and submit. We think that is fair, if e M%r. Talbert will agree to give us a 2 square deal and a fair fight. The News and Courier says if the Democratic party adopts the Ocala platform, it will not support it. This to The Herald and News sounds like bolting the party unless it carries its e point. The Herald and News may be s mistaken, but our idea is that if we go into the fight we must be bound by the result or be considered a bolter. Any man or newspaper has a right if he or it prefers to maintain an independent t attitude, but if we go into the fight t good faith requires us to submit even if we are beaten. r The question is constantly being t asked, and it is pertinent, if the Alli ;ance does not control the party what will it do. - We would like to ask another ques e tion, and it is equally pertinent, if the Alliance does control the party what , will the other fellows do? Let us have .this thing fairly settled and meet thd t issue squarely. The Georgia Legislature did right in not taking up its time with the Ocala Splatform and subtreasury. The place to discuss that measure is in Congress. All thbe legislation it demands is of a National character and if any of the measures or demands are adopted at all, they must come through Congress. The Georgia Legislature composed of a majority of Alliancemen has refused' to pass a resolution endorsing the Ocala Platform. Everything will come out right in the end. Bill Arp discusses tbe sub-treasury plan and some other interesting sub jects wvith much "joke." It is an in teresting article. Read it. Mrs. B. F. Perry, wife of the late ex Governor Persy, died at her home in Greenville last Thursday, in the 73ld -year of her age. Mr. Jas. G. Blaine says hie cannot take part in the Ohio canmpaigu, but hopes that McKinley will win. SHOT DOWN BY A NEGRO. Mayor Henner,nan, of Spartanburg, Meets Death at a Black Brute's Handls. SPARTANBURG, S. C., Sept. 28-T'i little city was the scene of a fearful tragedy at 6 o'clock Sunday evening. J. A. Hen neman, mayor, was shot down without a moment's warning, and the brutal murderer is now in jail in momentary expectancy of being lynched. A burly negro by the name of John Williams was making a disturbance at home with his wife. Cries of all sorts were heard coming from that direction when Mayor H-enneman we'nt to the house to find out the cause. He arrested Willams, and was trying to prevent his escape until the pdice camne to his assist ance. Williams succeeded in pushing Hen neman out the door, and while he was falling, shot him in the back, kill ing him instantly. To say the town is excited does not begin to express it. Groups of excited men gathered all over the city, talking of this fearful outrage. Last night the jail was surrounded by a howling mob that needs only a leader to procure the The jail to-night is so well guarded that the mob could not get at the nie gro, but threats of lynching ale still being made. Mayor Hennemian is the same man who sometime ago prevented a mob from lynching Murderer Turner, an in fluential farmer, who killed his brother in-law. Mayor Henneman, on this occasion, mounted a cannon which the mob had placed near the jail, and with a pistol in his hand, shouted tbat he would kill the first person who approached the jail. By his coolness lhe saved the murderer. ITHE CHARLESTON MAYORALTY. Maj. John F. Ficken the Candidate or the Reformers.

He asked for time to consider the matter, and was again waited upon to-day by a sub committee of his former visitors. Maj.

What is 3eant by Free Coinage of Siver. To the Editor of The Herald and News: You ask me to define just what isjmeant by the "free coinage of silver." I will endeavor to do so as clearly and briefly as I can. It means that the owners of silver bullion shall he allowed to take it in any quantity they may possess to the mints and have it coined into money at the rate of 371 grains of silver to the dollar. The advocates of free coinage say this is what was done from 1792, when the coinage act was passed, to 187:3, when the coinage of the silver dollar was suspended-not silver de monetized as is so often asserted. Why should this not continue? They also say this is what. is still done as to gold. Why not as to silver also? I would re ply to these questions briefly as fol lows: A very important change has taken place as to silver since 1873 ; but none as to gold. A full 100 cents worth of gold is still put into the gold dollar, as prior to 1S73, so that the minting it ands nothing whatever to its value. The coinage of gold is therefore only a certificate so to speak of the intrinsic value of gold in the coin, and that is as it should be. Prior to 1873 it was the same w&ith silver. Up to that time 3711 grains of silver was worth fully 160 cent.;; sometimes slightly more. But. no)w the case is qu-ite different. The present bullion value of the 371j kgrains of silver contained in a silver dollar is only about 78 cents. Why this change in silver? Here are a few of the chief reasons : 1. The annual product of silver has more than doubled since 1873--S8,S00, 0(0 in 1873 and $168,000,000 in 1890. 2. As a consequence silver has de preciated in value over 25 per cent. 3. European nations have discon tinued its coinage as a ful! legal-tender money. 4. The exchanges of the world are settled everywhere in gold, or, if ex changes with silver using countries, in silver at its gold value. - - The fact then that silver has so de preciated in value, and has conseQuent ly been abandoned as thestandard and of value by the leading cominercial na tious, would seen to be an all suffi cient reason against its free and un limited coinage in the United States. If we must have free coinage, at least let enough silver be put ia a dollar to make a full dollar as is the ease with gold. Then there would at least be no fraud or dishonesty in the transaction. I may mention that under free coin age from 1792 to 1873, a period of over 80 years, only a little over 8,000,00) silver dollars were coined. This cer tainly did not look as if our "daddies" were so eager for the "buzzrad" dollar. But under the s'-called "Bland-act" of IS78, requiring the coinage of not less than 2,000,000 silver dollars per month, the government purchased sil ver at its market value for the enormous sum of 138,19,2(j1, and coined it into 277,246,880 silver dollars; thus realizing a net profit of about $67,000,000. Here then we discover the secret of all this outcry for free coinage. It is on ac count of this net profit of $67,000,000 in twelve years. Under free coinage all this profit -- uld have gone, not to the govern. .-that is to the people-but into the pockets of the comparatively few "silver barons" of the Rocky Mountains; the Senators Stewart and Jones, of that Mining Camp, Nevada, Teller and Wolcott, of Colorado, etc. No wonder they cry loud and long for "free coinage." They are already millionaires from the enormous profits in their business. Butstill not content, they would have the Government that is the people-pay them 2.5 per cent. over the market value for their silver. Let Congress grant "free coin age," but require a full dollar's worth of silver shall be put in a dollar, as was done prior to 1873, and we will see how quickly these sanme men will lose all interest in it. It is not "free coinage" they want, but the 25 per cent. pre mium on the market value of their merchan dise. In July, 1890, the "Bland Act" w,as substituted by another, which provides that the Government shall purchase 4,500,000 ounces silver per month, or .54,000,000 ounces in a year, on which it wvill issue about $60,000,000 Treasury Notes. Thus is providled for the consumption of more than the en tire products of the American Silver mines. But still the "silver barons" are not content because the profit from the difference between the market value and the coining value of the sil ver goes to the Government and not to them. I hope with the above to have made :lear not only what "free coinage'' mens, but also a few of the objectious to it. Cinvis. LOOKING 1 THE MIt LENNIUIM.

C., Sept. 25.-Th( most death-dealing sentence in th( legal annals of this state except in case. of insurrection, was passed at Lauren! to-day, ten negro men being sentenced to be hanged for th murder of anothei negro. CONSPIRACY AND YURDER. The charge was conspiracy and mur. der. Some months ago Jim Young Monroe Young, Henderson Young Allen Young, John Atkinson, Lig( Akinson, John Adams, Perry Adams and Jack Williams, all colored, havin some cause of quarrel against Thorntol Nance, also colored, arranged a plan t< take his life and carried it out success fully. At this term of Laurens cour1 they were all convicted. NEW TRIAL REFUSED. A motion was made for a new trial but it was refused, and Judge Hudsor sentenced the whole ten to be hange( Oct. 23, next. At thesame term of court IkeKinard colored, was convicted of the murder o: Lemuel G. Oxner, a white man, and was sentenced to be hanged on Oct. P; thus making eleven negroes sentence( to death at these bloody assizes. PARALLEL CASE AT ABBEVILLE IN 1873 LSpecial to State.] GREENVILLE, Sept. :6.-The state ment that never in the criminal bis tory of the State was there ever suet a wholesale conviction for murder as ii Laurens on Friday, when ten negroet were convicted and sentenced to bt hanged, is erroneous. A parallel cas( was broulit to the attention of Th( State correspondent to-day by ex-Judg( T. H. Cooke, who was for five years or the bench in this State. In 1873, whil( Judge Cooke was holding court in Abbeville, twelve negroes were con victed for the murder of a young whit( man named Allen, whose home was near Lowndesville. Mr. Blythe, of this city, was the solici or and the negroes were defended by Samuel McGowan, now associate justice or the SupremE Court. Two of the negroes were used as State's witnesses, and on Suaday morning the jury returned a verdict convicting the ten men of murder. They were sentenced to be hanged, along with several others who had been convicted at the same court. Three of the ten negroes were afterward hung and the others were sent to the peniten tiary. Railroad Changes. [Spe.ial to News and Courier.] COLMIA, September 29.-There i6 something going on now in Richmond and Danville circles here which is of great interest to Columbians. Super intendent J. A. Dodson will leave the city to-morrow morning for Atlanta, where he will confer with the authori ties there, but the result, of course, cannot be anticipated. One of the three matters to be considered is the tutting on an early train from Colum )ia for points North, the train to leave biere say about 8 A. M. The people of Anderson, it is under stood, are moving specially in the mat ter. It is urged that such a train will be needed during Fair week at least, and perhaps it may be arranged to have an early train south to Columbia for that period. It is also in the wind that an early train from Charleston to meet the outgoing early train from Co lumubia (if it be made permanent) will be a necessity. Superintendent Dod son was asked if he could give the de tails of the arrangements desired by the people north of Columbia, but he said that nothing worth publishing could be obtained until after the con ference. The movement as stated, however, is correct. Ivers & Pond Pianos. These pianos are of the highest grade.
