ELBERT H AULL, EDITO. ILBERT HL A t Proprietors. NEWBERRY. S. C. THURSDAY, OCTOBER1 22, 191. THAT GREENWOOD SPEECH. We publish elsewhere, with pleasure, the explanation of the Cotton Plant of Dr. Stokes' G reenwood speech, head line and all, just as it appeared in the last issue of the Cotton Plant. We re gret that we (iid not see the explana tion as published in the Cotton Plant of August 12, but about that tine the editor was absent, and if we ever saw it we do not recall it. The explanation, as we see it, leaves the argument just 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 10. 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 eliwi 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 $4. It has done no such thing. What is to hinder the government from buying that cot ton in and holding it until the price advances, and that is what it will do. ' W-/pose the government wants to - sel out and only realizes $40. The government has lost nothing in that case, because tbe other S44i was in cir culation and it stands upon the same basis as your r eerifieate issued since last July." Then we asked Dr. Stokes how about the other $20 that the farmer could have received for the cottou when he deposited it in the warehouse and dre~w $80. If Dr. Stokes will examine the fi!es cf the Cotton Plant he will find, in an issue after the publication of our report of his Greenwood speech, that it stated that our repor-t was a fair and correct report, but 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 S40 for $S0 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 ci-culation? Did it get in circu Iation in the same way as the $40 in the illustration used by Dr. Stokes? Are not the treasury notes issued by1 the government redeemable in coin?. We do not mean the gold and silver certificates. Is not the government re quired to keep one hundred million dollars in gold to redeem these 346,000, 000 of 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,I and pass as money instead of taxing t.he people to raise the money and were given to the people that the govern ment owed and in payment of its ex- e penses. True, the $80 would be a note t ~ oft twould;notbe before such notes would be useless To say that the outstanding $40 no loss to the government becaun was on the same basis as green bae; no argument. To carry out the s line of argument, there would be as much reason to say that the gov, ment could give to every man who $100 worth of cotton $80 and let.] keep his cotton too, because it wc have as good basis behind it as greenbacks, and then the man y had the $100 worth of cotton would lose the other $20 that he might h received for his cotton, in the case s posed, when he placed it in the wi house. Then, too, there would be in circulation instead of $40. But then we admit that we not understand this great scheme finance, and have been induced to this much ini justification of what I been formerly said. We have or been seeking light all the time. .The Atlanta Journal publishes interview with G;ov. Campbell, Dem cratic candidate for Governor in Ohi on the situation in that State. I says the all absorbing issue in the pre ent campaign is the tariff.' The R publican candidate, Maj. McKinle author of the McKinley bill, is trvirl to draw attention to silver, but M Campbell is holding him down to tb tarif. W,hen asked what part the sul treasury plan wouid have on the cam paign, Gov. Campbell repiied to th reporter: "WAell, sir, you are the first mani: have ever heard mention the subtreas ury plan in Ohio. The peop)le hert know nothing whatever about it. I wil give you a fine p)resent if vou will inc one man in Ohio who, will mnentior the subtreasury plan as an i.ssue in the caahign~i. ,We are miaking the fighti on thle tariff, and on this transcendant issue we will win the battle." That must be a great p)lace to spend a while in. No subtreasury plan dis cussed or tidked about: Just think of it. The Abbevifl-e Press and Banner of last week had about 29 columns of ad vertisements. Most of themi were from the merchants of A bbeville ar.d Green wood. The business men of Abbeville appreciate the value of advertising, and patronmze and support their home paper. Somec of the business men of New berry never advertise at all. It is very queer. If the papers in Newberrv 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 things live Jin Augusta. W "NOOT ENCeA o & 7 STATE %AIR A--k-. Governor Tillman, Secretary of Stat Tindall and Mr. J. E. Wannamaker o the Board of Trustees of Clemson Col lege, have issued a leeter to the farmer of S)uth Carolina nrging them to at tend and furnish sample crops and en couimge the Augusta Exposition as , means of benefit ing themselves and advertising the State and its resources That is all right and proper, and we hope to see South Carolina well repre sented at the Augusta Exposition, bul we would like to see also our own State Fztr at Columbia a howling success. We have no idea these gentlemen meant in any way to slight our State Fai, or to discourage our farmers from attending or sending exhibits thereto by calling special attention to Augusta in the circular letter. At the same time, however, if they desired to have the rt sources of the State brought to the at tention of the public and properly ad verised, they might also have directed the attention of the farmers thereto, if it was thought necessary to give special stres,s to Augusta. Possibly it was thought that our farmers would think enough of their own fair to take their own exhibits 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 largeand varied as they should, and that the at tendance will be good. We feel that Col. Holloway and those associated with him will spare no pains to make the Fair a great suc cess. The Newberry Herald and News seenis not to appreciate its correspon (ent "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 paper and he knows we are his friend. He further knows that Lbe "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 1,H." had another commu nication in The Herald and News last week, and. that we called editorial at tentioa to it and advised our readers to read it? The Cotton Plant is at perfect liberty to copy any of "H.'s" articles Lhat it desires. We will give it that permission. ComImodore Duncan Nathaniel In grahani d!.ed in Charleston on Friday, 16th instant. He was born in 1802, md at the age of 10 years was a mid hipmite. He fought through the war )f 1812 as a midshipman. He served n the Mexican war as a commander, Lnd at the outbreak of the late war he esigned. In March, 1861, he entered he Confederate navy, and was assigned o Pensacola and then to Charleston, vhere he distinguished himself hy >reaking up the blockade. He was old and fearless as an officer. One of he most notable evente in the navy ras his resicue and release of Koszta, a Laturalized~ American citizen, from the kustran ship of war Huzzar in June, 853, in the Mediterranean. He had ved very quietly at his birthplace, 'harleston, since 1865. The News and Courier copies a litorial from the Omaha JymfT.'he gi > ul m nttl in onesent -rrithis: "The way to bui long Omaha, is to give Omaha people patronage." It needs no further was ment. There is a big truth in e i simple sentence. It is a sermor s islecureall in one. The people of ~me berry can make the application just themselves. "The way to built ern- Omaha, is to give Omaha people, had patronage."

The Cash Property sold to Minnesota Capitalists. [Special to the State.) ('HERA w, S. C., Oct. 15.--The Cash property, which lies about six miles from Cheraw, has been sold to Minne sota parties. Trhere is about 6,000 or 7,000 acres of land in the tract, a part of which contains a lot of tine timber of dift'erent kinds. The company which has bought the property intends soon to erect a large saw mill, with a capa city of 25,000 or 30,000 feet of lum ber a day. Your correspondent cannot learn yet the price paid for the land, but there is a rumor that as much as $75, 0010 was paid.

John F. Ficken Nominated for Mayor of Charleston-His -Majority A bout Two H undred. [Special to the State.] CHARLESTON, S. C., Oct. 21.-The Reformers have won. Col. J. F. Ficken has been nominated for Mayor by the Demoeratic primary electio%, defeating Mayor Bryan, the candidate of the Regulars. The election was quite and peaceable. The police force, although admirably organized and distributed, were the idlest set of men in town. Oilv in Ward 9 did the slightest trouble occur. There was, at the Mall,a slight disturb ance, due to whiskey and over-entbu 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. The Reformers have elected twelve aldermen at large and five 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 M:ij. 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. rn 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 no 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 in the I 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 t circulation, and we have asked him . again, and as yet have received no reply." t These are remarkable statements in deed. We corrected The Herald and P News in the first issue of The Coiton 1 Plant after its question was asked. But d togo no further bacK than Au--ust 15th C we said under the caption "Claims to 9 be Fair" thefollowing: "The trouble lies in his (rhe Her- d ald's) statement of it and not in w bat t Dr. Stokes said. He does not state all 0 that Dr. Stokes said. The statement N made at Greenwood was, that in the t ,ase supposed the government had not 13 lost the $40 outstanding. It was in ::irculation.

[The State, 17th.] Governor Tillinan's in the Citadel no)W. That is, he intends to work a "re fortu" it the institution's management. He yesterday stated that complaints had been lodged in his ofilee from cer tain parties in the .State that there had been irregularities in the awarding of the beneficiary cadetships, or, in other words, the law had not strictly been complied with. These complai~nts are to the etleet that there are young men in the academy enjoying the benetici ary scholarships whose parents are able to pay the tuition. Governor Tillman requests the an nouncement made that parents having sons in the academy on beneliciary I sebolarships will be given a ebauce to submit proof of their inability to pay, and iuforms them that they can send such proof to him at once. he will examine it and submit it to the board of v;sitors at their next meeting, when all cases will receive decisive action. Future developmente are awaited with iuterest. Lecturer heitt at Anderson. The People's Advocate gives the fol lowing report of Lecturer KEitt's ad dress before the Anderson County Alli ance at its recent meeting: District Lecturer Jos. L. Keitt being present was accorded the floor and pro- t Leeded to address the Alliance, more especially on the question of finance. He said that all civilized countries had some system of finance and that ours was embodied in the national banking 5ystenm, which had so conp.etely placed the control of the currency of the -ountry in the hands of a certain class n hat the amount of the wealth of the 1 ountry held by the agricultural and a aboiring classes had steadily decreased F "or the last three dceades and that luring the last decade it had decreased 'rom 36 per cent. in 1880 to 23 per cent. u 1801. That agreat deal of this wealth 3 vas of an invisiole nature and the re- . ut was that those who produced the D vealth and owned only :'3 per cent. if w t paid about S0 per cent of the taxes L hat were collected. That of the $1,000, 00,000 spent by the recent Congress he farmers and laborers paid about 800,000.000. This was an inequality fi .nd injustice that we were seeking re- tI ief from, and instead of the present I icious and unrighteous system we had st roposed another and a different sys- th em by which the governiment would to ake the control of the currency from he bankers and furnish it directly to he people based upon the products of be soil. That this was true Jefferson- ta in Democracy as exemplified in the at eachings of Jefferson, Calhoun and tt ackson, under wh,ose leadership the fai arty had always fought the idea of ational banks as unconstitutional and angerous to liberty, and that Mr. alhoun had constantly held that the o overnment should not extend its vr redit to the banks but to the people cO irectly without an intermediary, and Et mat tnis was the underly'i- principle (3 the sut>-treasury plan. '. remarks H 'ere continued at some length along 1is line and were listened to attentive- i and approvingly by the delegates.
