ELBERT H. AULL, EDITOn. ELBERT H. AULL, Prprietos W3. P. HOUSEAL,P NEWBERRY, S. C. "HURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1891. THAT GREENWOOD SPEECH. We publish elsewhere, with pleasure, the explanation of the Cotton Plant of Dr. Stokes' Greenwood speech, head line and all, just as it appeared in the last issue of the Cotton Plant. We re gret that we did not see the explana tion as published in the Cotton Plant of August 12, but about tbat time the editor was absent, and if we ever saw it we do not recall it. The explanation, as we see it, leaves the argumeu Lust as we reported it, so for as its merits go. We give below what we reported Dr. Stokes as saying at Greenwood. It is taken from our issue of July 16. We ask the reader to compare it with what the Cotton Plant says he said and see if the two are not the same: "The objection urged that this scheme may cause loss to the government if there is a decline in price was con sidered. President Stokes said there was no possibility of loss under any circumstances. This plan would elimi nate the speculator and reduce it to the law of supply and demand. "Suppose a farmer deposits in the warehouse $100 worth of cotton and draws $80 and at the end of the year when pay day comes this cotton is only worth $40, and the farmer fails to redeem his cotton. You say at once the government has lost $40. It has done no such thing. What is to hinder the government from bu., ing that cot ton in and holding it until the price advances, and that is what it will do. But suppose the government wants to sell out and only realizes $40. The go.vernmeit has lost nothing in that case, because the other $40 was in cir culation and it stands upon the same basis as your s.Avr cerufleate issued since last July." Then we asked Dr. Stokes how about the other $20 that the ffrrner could have received for the cotte. when he deposited it in the warehouse and drew $80. If Dr. Stokes will examine the files of the Cotton Plant he will find, in an issue after the publication of our report of his Greenwood speech, that it staLed that our report was a fair and correct report,-bft that we charged him with mAking an argument that he did not believe himself. We did not intend to make any charges against him in our report, but we did not see how he could make it out that the government would lose nothing if it received only $40 for $80 advanced on cotton. Now be says it is on a par with greenbacks. Well, now, will the Cotton Plant tell us how this 346,000,000 of greenbacks got in circulation? Did it get in circu lation in the same way as the $40 in the illustration used by Dr. Stokes? Are not the~treasury notes issued by the government redeemable in coin? We do not mean the god and silver certificates. Is not the government re quired to keep one hundred million dollars in gold to redeem these 346,000, 000 'f greenbacks?. These 346,000,000 of greenbacks are simply the notes of the government, issued in payment of its debts incurred by the war, which pass as legal tender, and pass as money instead of taxing the people to raise the money and were given to the people that the govern - metit owed and in payment of its ex penses. True, the $80) would be a note of the government, but what business sense would there be in giving a note for $80 for which the government only received $40. It would not be ]ong before such notes would be useless. -To say that the outstanding $40 was no loss to the government because it was on the same basis as greenbacks is no argument. To carry out the same line of argument, there would be just as much reason to say that the govern ment could give to every man who had $100 worth of cotton $80 and let him keep his cotton too, because it would have as good basis behind it as the greenbacks, andi then the man who had the $100 worth of cotton would not lose the other $20 that he might have received for his cotton, in the case sup posed, when he placed. it in the ware house. Then. too, there would be $80 in circuhation instead of $40. But then we admit that we do not und - wd this great scheme of finauic id have been ind.uced to say this miuch in justification of what has been formerly said. We have only been seeking light all the time. The Atlanta Journal publishes an interview with Gov. Campbell, Demo cratic candidate for Governor in Ohio, on the situation in that State. Hc says the all absorbing issue in the pres ent campaign is the tariff. The Re 'publican candidate, MIaj. MfcKinley, author of the McKinley bill, is trying to draw attention to silver, but 3Mr. Campbell is holding him down to the tariff. When asked what part the sub treasury plan wouid have on the cam paign, Gov. Campbell replied to the reporter: "Well, sir, you are the first man I have ever heard mention the subtreas ury plan in Ohio. The people here know nothing whatever about it. I will give you a fine present if you will find one man in Ohio who will mention the subtreasury plan as an issue in the campi~aign. We are making the fight on the taritT, and on this transcendant issue we will win the battle." That must be a great place to spend a while in. No subtreasury plan dis cussed or talked about! Just think of it! The Abbeville Press and Banner of last week had about 29 columns of ad vertisements. MIost of them were from the merchants of Abbevilie and Green wood. The business men of Abbeville appreciate the value of advertising, and patronize and support their home paper. Some of the business men of Newberry never advertise at all. It is very queer. If the papers in Newberry could get half 29 columns the hearts of the editors would be made glad and the merchants would reap the profits. The Reformers in the cities are on the popular wave. They have won in Charleston and are making thbings live ly in Augusta. WHY NOT ENCOURAG OUR OW STATE FAIR AL Governor Tillman, Secretar at Tindall and Mr. J. E. Wannamaker oi the Board of Trustees of Clemson Col lege, have issued a leeter to the farmer. of South Carolina nrging them to at tend and turnish sample crops and en courage the Augusta Exposition as V means of benefit ing themselves anc advertising the State and its resources. That is all right and proper, and W( hope to see South Carclina well repre sented at the Augusta Exosition, bul we would like to see also our own State Fair at Columbia a howling success. We have no idea these gentlemeE meant in any way to slight our State Fair or to discourage our iarmers from attending or sending exi.ibits tberetc by calling special attention to Augusta in the circular letter. At the same time, however, if they desired to have the re sources of the State brought to the at tention of the public and properly ad vertised, they might also have directed the attention of the farmers thereto, if it was thought necessary to give specia] stress to Augusta. Possibly it was thought that out farm..ers would think enough of theii own fair to take their own exhibitE there without having their attention specially called to it. At any rate every one should feel a personal interest in our State Fair, and we hope that exhibits will be large and varied as they should, and that the at tendance will be good. We feel that Col. Holloway and those associated with him will spare nc pains to make the Fair a great suc cess. The Newberry Herald and News seems not to appreciate its correspou dent "H." The Cotton Plant will give "H." a welcome to its columns.-Cot ton Plant. Oh! no, Mr. Cotton Plant. "H." is a good friend of the editor of this papez and he knows we are his friend. He further knows that the "latch-string hangs on the outside" whenever he wants admission to the columns of The Herald And News or desires to visit the home of the editor. The Cot ton Plant cannot proselyte "H." in any such manner as this. By the way, did the Cotton Plant notice that "H." had another commu nication in The Herald and News last week, and that we called editorial at tention to it and advised our readers to read it? The Cotton Plant is at perfect libertyIto copy any of "H.'s" articles that it desires. We will give it that permission. Commodore Duncan Nathaniel In graham died in Charleston on Friday, 16th instant. He was born in 1802, and at the age of 10 years was a mid shipmite. He fought through the war of 1812 as a midshipman. He served in the Mexican war as a commander, and at the outbreak of the late war he resigned. In March, 1861, he entered tbe Confederate navy, and was assigned to Pensacola and then to Charleston, where he distinguished himself by breaking up~ the blockade. He was bold and fearless as an officer. One of the most notable events in the navy was t's:rescue and release of Koszta, a naturalized American citizen, from the Austrian ship of war Huzzar in June, 1853, in th~e Mediterranean. He had lived very quietly at his birthplace, Charleston, since 1865. The News and Courier copies an editorial from the Omaha Bee on "How to build up Omaha" and substitutes Charleston for Omaha. The gist of the whole thing is told in one sentence, and it is this: "The way to build up Omaha, is to give Omaha people your patronage." It needs no further com ment. There is a big truth in this simple sentence. It is a sermon and lecture all in one. The people of New berry can make the application for themselves. "The way to build up Omaha, is to give Omaha people your patronage." Remember that. At a recent meeting of the York County Alliance two very important and practical questions were consid ered. One was a reduction in the aver age of cotton and the other the im provement of the public roads. These are things which concern the members of the alliance. More practical work would be of great benefit to the Alli ance. The government rain makers were so successful at San Diego, Texas, with their experiments last week that they have become heroes in.the eyes of the ranchmen. They got a rain last Sun day at a cost af $2,500 for explosives, and the ranchmen declare the rain to be worth fifty million dollars to them. Melbourne, the Australian rain maker, has also been so succesful, it is claImed, in Kansas, that a fellow in California says he has stolen his patent. When a man finds fault with all re ligious, social and political organiza tions and wishes to construct society anew, he ought to be haltered out in a rail pen far away from every one else. -Orangeburg Enterprise and Alliance Monitor. True, but in this day and time we fear that you would need several rail pens, or the old fashion ones would have to be enlarged. The New York A ssociated Press has split by the withdrawal of the Sun and the Tribune. Col. Elliott F. Shepard, of .he Mail and Express, and several o1 his associates got control of the com pany, and the two papers didn't relish him. The two papers will form a for midable rival. The Cash Property Sold to MIinnesota CapitalUsts. [Special to the State.] CHERA w, S. C., Oct. 15.-The Cash property, which lies about six mile from Cheraw, has been sold to Minne sota parties. There is about 6,000 oi 7,000 acres of land in the tract, a part of which contains a lot of fine timbei of different kinds. The company wvhich has bought the property intends soon to erect a large saw m Ill, with a capa city of 25,000 or 30,000 feet of lumber a day. Your correspondent cannot learn yet the price paid for the land, but there is a rumor that as much as $75g 000 was paid. Mr. Ferguson, one of the parties intorested in the business, expects to live in Cheraw, and says that his'company wIll doubtless interest itself in developing the town of Che VICTORY FOR THE REFORMERS. John F. Ficken Nominated for Mayor of N r1eton-H1% Ms#ority AboutTwo HIundred. [Special to the State.] C:HARLSToN, S. C., Oct. 21---The Reformers have won. coL. J. F. Ficken has been nOlinated for Mayor by the )eiocratic primary election, defeating Mayor Bryan, the candidate of the Rtegulars. The election was <iuite and pi-aceable. The police force, although admirably organized and distributed, were the idlest set of men in town. Only in Ward 9 did the slightest trouble occur. There was, at the Mall,aslight disturb. ance, due to whiskey and ov-.--nthu siam for the one or the other candi dates, but it amounted to very little. Ficken's majority in eleven wards is 127. Ward 4 is still doubtful at 1.30 a. M. The Reformers have elected twelve aldermeu at large and live from the wards. There is talk of a lost ballot box in ward 4. The election commissioner adjourned from the city hall to the pre cinct headquarters in ward 4 (about midnight,) and at 2 a. m. the result in ward has not beet declared. It is a fact, however, that Mnj. Ficken is nominated. The aldermen's ticket is scratched from a to z. Dr. Thompson was defeated for school commissioner; Dr. Vedder was elected. Mr. Theo. D. Jerver, Jr., has been elected chairman of the executive com mittee over Maj. Boyle, unless Ward 4 materiallly alters results. At 2 a. m. Maj. Baker and Gen. Hu guenin were seen together. Maj. Bar ker said: "We cannot declare the re sults in Ward 4 to-night. There are complications which may not be ad justed berore to-morrow." The com plications referred to are understood to be between the managers in Ward Four. The nature of the difficulty is not known. There will, however, be no changing of results. The Reformers have, be yond a doubt, something like 200 ma jority. That Greenwood Speech. LCotton Plant.] The Herald and News (Newberry) referring to our illustration at Green wood uses this language in its issue of October 1st: "If an explanation of Dr. Stokes' Greenwood speech has ever been made we have never seen it." Again in another editorial iii the same issue, it says: "Then we asked him if he really be lieved that the government would lose nothing because the money was still in circulation, and we have asked him again, and as yet have received no reply." These are remarkable statements in deed. We corrected The Herald and News in the first issue of The Cotton Plant after its question was asked. But togo no further bacK than August I-5th we said under the caption "Caims to be Fair" the following: "The trouble lies in his (The Her ald's) statement of it and not in what Dr. Stokes said. He does not state all that Dr. Stokes said. The statement made at Greenwood was, that in the case supposed the government had not lost the $40 outstanding. It was in circulation. The worst that could be said about it was that it would have no basis behind it; but that was no worse than must be said about 346 million of Greenbacks which have- nothing but the government behind them. He further admitted that this might not be a desirable result, among those who believe in money that is based alone on some valuable entity, but the question of loss to the government was settled by the argument in the negative-un less the 346 million Greenbacks repre sent a loss to the government. If this is not a true statement will The Herald and News kindly point out wherein it fails of truth or accuracy? We assure him before hand that we will not charge him with either insincerity or trifling, however inconclusive his argu ment may be." Again in our issue of September 12th under the caption "Some Ignorance" occurs the following: "His (Darlington Herald) statement in regard to storing $100 worth ot cot ton, drawing $80 and afterward the cotton being sold for $60-The trouble with this is not in what Dr. Stokes said, but in what heis reported to have said. He said the $20 was still in circula tion; and the worst that could be said for it was that it had no basis behind it; but thas was no worse than must be said for 346 million greenbacks, which, have no basis either. If our cotempor ary holds that there is actual or possi ble loss to the government in the circu lation of the greenbacks, then is his fear of loss in the case of sub-treasury notes well founded. To hold such a view would be sheer ignorance of political economy as well as history-but the ignorance is not on Dr, Stoke's side. Does The Herald and News read The Cotton Plant when it answers a ques tion of The Herald and News? Did it read this? Some allusions, even in its issue of Oct. 1st, imply that it did; but we prefer to think that it did Dot in order to escape the uncharit able conclusion that it has deliberately misconstrued and suppressed our plain statements in reply to its question. A WALK OVER. The Democratic Candidate Elected Mayor of Spartanburg. [Special to the State.] SPAiRT ANBC RG, Oct. 19.-The contest is over, and the Democracyl is trium phant. Col. Joseph Walker, the Demo cratic nominee,idefeated Mr. Chase, the independent candidate for mayor, by a majority of 1,46 votes. This majority is much greater than was expected. Mr. Chase received 438 votes and Col. Walker' 584. Most of the negroes voted for Mr. Chase, and it is said that be received but 30 white votes. The whites voted in a body for Col. Walker.'Besides this, he got about 80 negro vote4. It is es timated that fully 200 white men did not vote. The total vote wvas 1,042, twenty-two votes being scratched for Mayor. BAD FOR BEAUFORT. The Town Treasurer a Defaulter for (Aer $5,000 and the Town in Debt Over 420,000. [Special to the News and Courier.) BEAU FORT, October 20.-A mass meeting os the citizens of Beaufort was held yesterday evening at 4 o'clock to receive the report of the committee ap pointed to investigate the town finan ces. The total amount of the bonded debt of the town is reported at $9,900. The total amount of the hjoating debt is $15,072.65. The total deficit in the accounts of Taylor, the defaulting ex treasurer, is $.5,432.33. The amount due merchants on orders for pay en dorsed by Taylor $1,361.99. A com mittee of five was appointed to inves tigate as -to where the responsibility for the deficit lies, as the treasurer was not under bond as required by law. A Challenge for Sam Jones. WILSIINGToN, N. C., Oct. 17.-Rev. Dr. F. WV. E. I'eschau, the Lutheran minister of this city, has challenged to a public debate the Rev.

Lecturer Kcitt at Andergon. The People's Advocate gives the fol lowing report of Lecturer Keitt's ad dress before the Anderson County A lli ance at its recent meeting: District Lecturer Jos. L. Keitt being present was accorded the floor and pro ceeded to address the Alliance, more especially on the question of finance. He said that all civilized countries had some system of linance and that ours was embodied in the national banking system, which had so completely placed the control of the currency of the country in the hands of a certain class that the amount of the wealth of the country held by the agricultural and laboring classes had steadily decreased for the last three decades and that during the last decade it had decreased from 36 per cent. in 1880 to 23-per cent. in 181o. That agreat deal of this wealth was of an invisible iature and the re sult was that those who produced the wealth and owned only 23 per cent. of it paid about 80 per cent of the taxes t hat were collected. That of the $1,000, 000,000 spent by the recent Congress the farmers and laborers paid about $SOO,000.000. This was an inequality and injustice that we were seeking re lief from, and instead of the present vicious and unrighteous system we had proposed another and a different sys tem by which the government would take the control of the currency from the bankers and furnish it directly to the people based upon the products of the soil. That this was true Jefferson ian Democracy as exemplified in the teachings of Jefferson, Calhoun and Jackson, under whose leadership the party had 9iways fought the idea of national banks as unconstitutiona! and dangerous to liberty, and that Mr. Calhoun had constantly held that the government should not extend its credit to the banks but to the people directly without an intermediary, and that twis was the underlying princ'ple of the sub-treasury plan. His remarks were continued at some length along this line and were listened to attentive ly and approvingly by the delegates. TO RAISE THE PRICE OF COTTON. Important Management Inauguratcd by the Greenville Alliance. [Special to News and Courier.] GREENVILLE, Oct. 19.-The Green ville County Farmers' Alliance met in special session to-day for the purpose of taking some action on the vexed ques tion with them, of the buying and sell ing of cotton. They passed the follow ing resolution, wvhich is intended to a far-reaching effect to raise the price of cotton: "Whereas, cotton is our cash product and producers are forced to take for it prices below the cost of production, not only the farmers, but the merchants who furnished them supplies on time must sustain the loss. Trhe profits on cotton are divided bet ween the specu lators and manufacturers: "WYe, the Greenville Farmers' Alli ance, do ad vise our farmers to refuse to sell :heir cotton at thbe present prices, and to at once ware house so much cot ton as will satisfy their creditors, and borrow froni the banks or individuals on ware house receipts and hold their cotton for better prices. "That the action of our meeting be published throughout the Cotton States, and we ask the farmers to at once, through State and County Alli ances, act in accordiance therewith. "That Sub-Alliances are hereby re quested to call meeiugs at once to act on these resolutions." The Alliance of thbis county proposes to accomplish the purpose of the reso lution by concentrating the cotton brought to this market in the Alliance warehouse for the purpose of having it graded into lots, "'so that each grade can be sold at its true market value." The warehouse will store cotton fif teen days free of charge to buyer and seller a;ike, enabling the seller to hold his cotton for better prices and the buyer to get large lots for shipment. After the fifteen days' free storage is out the cost of storage and insurance will not exceed 2.5 cents for the first month, and 20 cents for subsequent months. A committee of the Alliance says: --It is now generally conceded that the present crop is far short of that of last year and of much finer quality, yet the prices are below the cost of p)ro duction. It therefore must be appar ent to all that there is everything to gain and nothinlg to lose by holding. Some of the Greenville banks have agreed to advance liberally on ware ouse receipts." A resolution was also passed asking every true Alliance man not to sell his cotton until he takes it to the ware house. The Alliance pr~oposes to hire a gradler of cotton or grade it them selves by "types" from New York. Trhe cotton buyers here are defied, and if the plan of the Alliance is carried out they must buy Alliance cotton at the wrehouse and have it weighed by Alliance wveighers. It is not likely tbat they will consen't to be instructed by the'Alliance where to weigh the cotton they buy without sonie lively kicking. A WVARNING TO WOMEN. Nerly One H undred Delegates to a Female Convention Poisoned. BRADFORD, PA., October 16.--Nearly one hundred delegates to the Women's Christian Temperance Union State Convention ivere poisoned this after noon by something they ate or drank at dinner in Armiory Hall tendered to the delegates by the McKean Country organization. Shortly after the afternoon se'sion was called to order a large number of delegates felt violently ill, and in half an hour at least seventy live were lying limp in their seats or on the floor, all vomiting and extremely sick. 3Medi al aid was sumrmoned and every phy s-.in the city had a dozen or miore patients on his hands. Mrs. Ganoe and Mrs. Owens, both of Phillipsburg, Centre County, Miss Pearl, Mrs. Adla Cable, reporter of the Era, and Miss Davis, all of Bradford, and Mrs. W. H. Halevey, of Pittston, reporter of the Scranton Truth, were among the mo'st serious cases. All were taken to the residences of citizens where they were being enter taned. Mrs. Halevey and Mrs. Bable are the only really serious cases. All the other sufferers refase to give their THE LAW IN LAUIENS. Isaac Kinard, Colored, Hanged for the Murder of hi, Landlord, Mr. Leinuel G. Oxner. [Special to News and Courier.] LAURENS, ititober 1.-The awful scene in the cor.yard of the jail as Isaac Kinard was ushered into eternity is only a prelude to that to be enacted when the -leven negroes pay the penalty for te murder of Nanee. At 11 o'clock Kinard was seen in his cell and appeared to be very cool, and cared little to talk. He said he slept well last night and was ready for the work of to-day. As they took himn from his cell he made only one request, and that was that he be allowed to tell his fellow-prisoners good-bye. This was granted and with a broad grin he shook their hands and they cried "Go, meet us in glory, Ike," "Be sure," and then as he proceeded down the stairs tile prisoners, who had been singing hynns to him all the morning, began "Praise God from whom all blessings flow." At II o'clock he was placed on the scaflold, and had no re<quest to make but that a pair of socks and a testa ment he had in his pocket be given to the colored preacher. The block then dropped, and after hanging twenty-fi 'e minutes Kinard was pronounced dead by Drs. Dial, Aiken and Anderson. Ike Kinard was hanged for the mur der of his landlord, Lemuel G. Oxuer, which occurred on June 13 last. He was sentenced on the 4th of October to be hanged to-day. His attorneys en deavored to get a respite, but the Gov ernor refused. Yesterday he expressed himself to Deputy Winters 4s being very sorry that he killed Mr. Oxner; that be was the best man he had ever worked for, and he wished Oxner had killed him instead of him killing Ox ner. His appearance, however, showed no signs of emotion. A RESPITE FOR THE ELEVEN. A respite has been given to the eleven negroes sentenced to be hanged next Friday until the Supreme Court can act on the motion for a new trial. FIRST RANGING FOR .IOREXlHiAN HALF A CENTURY.
