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.

('HERA w, S. C., Oct. 15.--The Cash

VICTORY FOR THE REFORMERS.
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

than must be said about 346 million of

District Lecturer Jos. L. Keitt being

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
