ELBERT IL AULL, EDITOB. ELBERT H. AUIL, Proprietors. WN P. HOUSEAL, ro 'EWBERRY, S. C, WEMESDY, 1ICH a, 1S90. OUR POSITION. The Herald and News occupies, we presume, an anomalous position in South Carolina politics. We are not with that faction known as Straight outs; we are not in accord with the "thirteen" that have called a March convention; we are opposed to Tillman and his administration. Then the question is: Where are we? The Her ald and News claims to be Democratic. There are, possibly, four wings of the democracy in this State at this time. The fourth wing may be small, but it is here all the same. The Herald and News is opposed to Tillman, and has been all the time, but it cannot con scientiously co-operate with any of the opposition that has been up to this time outlined. We may be wrong, but we do not think so. We like consis tency, but not simply for consistency's sake. If a n'an finds he has made a mistake, it is manly to acknowledge it. But at the same time we do not ap prove of that course which simply flops about in order to be on the popu lar side. We find in an interview from Col. Jno. C. Haskell, an anti-Tillman man, a position taken similar to that of The Herald and News. He opposes the Straightouts; he opposes Tillman, and he opposes the proposed March con vention. Will Col. -Haskell please tell us where we stand and to what faction we belong? We have been consistently opposed to Gov. Tillman and have on various occasions given the reasons for the faith that is in us, but at all times we have endeavcreI to treat him justly and fairly. W, will submit gracefully to I he wi.l of a majority of our fellow De uocrats. All the methods thus far put forth to defeat him, in our judg ment have only strengthened him with the masses. The Herald and News will continue to pursue the even tenor of its way, giving jur tice to all men and advo cating those things that it conceives to be fair and just and right. Mr. Larry Gantt, late of Georgia, has lately been engaged as editor of the Columbia Register. He has commenced his work. We publish elsewhere a pretty full sketch of Whitmires, one of tbe new towns of our county. It has a good lo cation and is destined soon to be a much mnore imnortant trade-centre than it is even now. Col. Jno. C. Haskell, of Columbia, in an interview on the political situation, says of our townsman, Associate Jus tice Pope: "I believe that the conductj of the courts in enjoining the illegal' course of this young man (the Comp troller) will have a very happy effect; and nothing will have a better eff'ect than the fact that Associate Justice Pope has justified tbe confidence of his friends, who opposed him politically, in his personal integrity and desire to maintain the dignity of the law." ME. CHAPrELL'S REPLY. He Gives the Names of Five White Men Working Under a Negro Overseer. Tothe Editor of The Herald and News: I have a few words for the "non-office-seeker," and but few, as I consider the writer so insignificant that I had almost concluded not to answer his piece at all; but for fear that he may think himself a hero, I have concluded to congratulate him on his "red-hot Tillmanism." I was in great symnathy with the "non offlee-seeker" in 1890, for when the good people of Helena refused to admit him in their club, I at once went to work, and after great exertion got him in our club, but since I find what kind of material he is made out of I can but congratulate Helena for not wanting him, as they wanted men in the true sense of the word. The only charge that he can bring against me is that I was beaten for chief of police and county auditor. That is flimsy indeed. I had rather suff'er defeat however, than hold office under Tillmnan's administration. Well, I will not say more abov e you, "non-office-seeker," bewiuse any man whbo is too big a coward to sign his name to what he writes is not worth noticing. THE "MESSRS. SMITH, OF THE OB SERVER." But before I close I w.ish to say to the Messrs. Smith, of the Observer, that while you did muster up courage enough to sign your names, you did not have sense enough to write tbe article, and after picking your fluent writer, with all his skill and brains, he, too, fell upon the flimsy cliarge that I was beaten for auditor, which,I presume, according to his belief, sank me so deep that it took me until now to bubble up again and aspire for the chief's position. WVell, if it is a dis grace to be beaten, I suppose that Gov. Hampton has passed into oblivion, and many other good men. But, dear reader, all this tirade about being laeaten, for either chief or auditor, does not disprove the fact that five white men are still under a negro over seer. Their names are: N. J. Stuck, Charlie Tidwell, James S. Adams, Geo. P. Hill and myself, and I have been told that there are two or three others, who live in Helena. It has been said by some that I ought to have gone be fore the board and not have publicly exposed the commissioners. WVell, let's see if I did not. Saleday in January I went to Mr. Jenkins Smith, in front of the court house, and told him that we had a negro overseer on our road, and there were white men there I would like to have appointed, on account of my being opposed to working the pub lic road under a negro boss. Mr. Smith's reply was: "That is not my section of road, but I will see to it at once that the change is made." I waited pa tiently until we were again ordered out, and feeling that Mr. Smith had disregarded my request and still em barrassed us with the negro, is why I thought it right and proper for the public to know what kind of sweet scented commissioners we have.' I say boldly that Mr. Smith dare not deny that conversation in January, and as to the five respectable white men whose names I have given I leave it to the public to decide. - J. H. CH APPELL. Sprin6,ed, Feb. 29, 1892. TILLMAN' TALKS TO THE FARMERS. The Overproduction of Cotton Discussed and its Evils Pointed Out-Remedies Suggested-Resolutions Adopted by the Meeting. Governor Tillman has come and gone. He has advised the farmers what to do, and in the main his advice was good. The Herald and News has given the same advice time and again, but possibly coming from Governor Till man, it will do more good. It still re mains a fact, however, that until the farmers first make their farms self-sus taining by raising their own supplies at home they can never make money rais ing cotton. Governor Tillman came to New berry on Friday and was the guest of Dr. S. Pope during his stay here. There was no display or demonstra tion on the part of our people over his arrival nor very much enthusiasm at the meeting on Saturday. It is a fact, however, that he will have a majority of those who were present when elec tion day comes around. This was not a political meeting. The best of attention was given the Governor during the delivery of his speech. There were about ,ix hundred per sons present. The Governor was not looking well and did not speak with his accustomed vim and vivacity. The speaking was held in the opera house. On the stage sat President Sligh of the County Alliance, District Lecturer J. L. Keitt, County Lecturer S. Pope, Messrs. J. S. Hair and W. E. Laie-the committee to invite speak ers-Hon. R. T. C. Hunter, Rev. W. C. Schaeffer and about a half a dozen newspaper men. The meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. W. C. Schaefl'er. President Sligh, of the County Al liance, presided over the meeting and introduced the speaker. He explained the object of the meeting and spoke of the various conventions that had been held by the farmers of the cotton-grow ing States to discuss the same question. It was a pleasure to him to preside over this large meeting and to intro duce- the distinguished speaker, a man very well known to you all and throughout other States; the best advertised man in the State; a farmer to speak to farmers. The very fact that he is here shows that he takes an interest in you and has an appreciation of the people over whom he has the honor to exerc&se the functions of Chief Magistrate. [Applause and hurrah for Tillman.] THE GOVERNOR'S SPEECH. Governor Tillman said that he was just out of a sick bed; that yesterday he had ventured out for the first time in ten days, and but for the fact that be did not want the people to come here and be disappointed he would not be present. "I am always glad to re spond to the call of the citizens of any county, and confer with them on any subject affecting the public welfare. I am here to discuss the agricultural outlook and kindred subjects. It is a broad question. Agriculture is the basis of all wealth, the foundation on which society rests. I am also told that I am not expected to touch on politics. The subject is a very dry one, althugh of far more ::mportance than any other. It affects every household. We have a superabundance of advice and good counsel. Shakespeare says 'I can easier tell twenty men what were good to be done than to be one to follow my own teachings.' We are confronted by a condition that is gloomy indeed; never, at h.e'st since 186, has it been more so. I have heard it said in the forties a similar condition existed, so far as the price of cotton is concerned. But then every well regu lated farm was self-sustaining. They had nothing to buy except some lux uries, shoes for the family, etc. .We have reversed the conditions then exist ing, and in a large measure look to one crop to buy almost everything we are compelled to have. The present con dition of over-production of cotton was foreseen by me several years ago, and predicted in a public speech at Ben nettsville seven years ago, when I un dertook to bring about a change so far as discussion could do it. DRIVEN TO THE CULTURE OF COTTON. "We have almost driven our people to the culture of cotton alone. How? One of the greatest engines to bring about this condition u as the enactment of the lien law, which placed credit on the future crop, even before it was planted. It placed the honest and the dishonest, the intelligeat and the igno rent man on the same basis. It placed the raising of the crop in tbe hands of those who make profit out of it by speculating in the product. Our rents look for so much cot:on, and the liens look for so much, and as a consequence our people were forced to raise it. OUR LEGISLATION RESPONSIBLE. "Our legislation is largely responsi ble for our condition. The effort to make that with which to buy every thing else, especially where the negro was dominant. brought about a de mand for a stock law. We concluded that we couldn't make any money out of stock, and why keep up the fences? I am a strong advocate of the law and* believe it to be a blessing if properly used, but after the law was enacted the effort to raise stock c ased. Thereafter we turned our attention more to cotton and the blessing was turned into a curse. We need a summer pasture. We can produce bacon and beef as cheap here as in the West. I have raised hogs myself and kept strict ac count, and they did not cost me as much as the Western bacon, but there are other ills. We spend for guano alone, in this State, $3,000,000 annual ly. The making of home manure has become a forgotten art. We kill grass nine months in the year and then turn around and buy Northern hay. CLEMSoN COLLEGE. "Foreseeing this condition, we have endeavored to put on foot Clemson Col lege, where our young men can be taught the importance of a diversified industry; but what are we to do now while we are waiting for Clemson to start? It is a very simple case. The only road we can now follow with safe ty s to produce less cotton and matke our farms self-sustaining. Speculatin and1 depression in the money mia-ket have in some degree caused the low price, but we have produced more cot ton than the world will consume. But you say wve are in debt and cannot get money except on. of cotton. Can you pay debts when you pay more for rais ing cotton than you get for it? If there is not a radical change starvation is in evitable. That is the long and shot t of it and the whole of it. RAIsE YOU'R OwN RATIONS. This condition is produced by two things. Too much time is wasted in idling and hunting game and running rabbits. We must work six days in the week. Too much tie is lost that should be devoted to mnaking manure anl improvements. There must be more industry, and you must raise your rations at home and make cotton the surplus. THE LOW PRICE OF COTTON. "As to the financial question there are two causes for the low price of cot ton. One was the demonetization of silver, sas the other the conduct of our nationiIfairs in the interest of Wall street. We are to-day being used as bewers of wood and drawers of water to make a. few men rieber. We area lagly responsible for this state of afrairs. We should practice economy. I have point:- out what we should do at home, but what about the other? This is a big country. Vast interests are involved; diversified and conflict iug interests. The agricultural inter est, by reason of a lack of organization, and on account of ignorance, is being systematically robbed through the taritt in the the interest of Wall street. THE ALLIANCE TO THE RESCUE. "The Alliance sprang into the arena like a giant, and spread over the State like fire through a sedge 1ield. If it does not go too far and ask uireaa-ou able things; if it does not demand a pa ternal government, as some camn it does; if it does not demand centraliza tion, as some claim it does; ii its de mands are not unreasonable, and there is the danger, great and lasting eue fits will follow. I am afraid, however, that this bow of promise will depari. If we are reasonalie and subsidize the newspapers with the truth, is we do not get all we ask we will at least. got something. We must not quarrtel about the means but we most get there. THE CONDITION IN WASHINGTON. "Look at the coudit!on of affairs i Washington. The Democrats with large majority are split into faction There comes in your divers- .,l inter ests. What suits the Denior.s of Massachusetts does not suit the i crats of South Carolina. SHALL THERE BE A SPLIT? "Whether there shall be a split from the old parties or not I canuot say; but certainly the trend of things is in that direction. Until it does happen, we, who are to-day confronted by the Re publican^ with their force bill and ne gro domination, have have got to stand by the Democratic party of the North east, who have helped us to prevent these things. There should be and can be no just. antagonism between the farmers and any other class. Unless the farmers are prosperous every other interest must suffer. There may be a dispute as to how we are to reach certain points, but for God's sake don't let us quarrel about reaching that point." NO THIRD PARTY FOR US. Speaking about the St. Louis Con vention and the Third Party he said that he did not believe we would have any Third Party in South Caroliua yet; but he did not know what might conie. Self-interest might force us to go with the Northwest; but until that time did come we had to stand together forGod, for home and for native land. The governor spoke for thirty-five minutes. Only once during the deliv ery of his speech was he interrupted by applause. His speech was well re ceived. MR. SLIGII'S RESOL'TIONS. President Sligh presented some reso lutions on the cotton acreage question. Resolved, That in mass meeting as sembled, on the 27th day of February, 1892, we, the citizens of the eastern portions of townships Nos. 9 and 1b, of Newberry County, do adopt the follow ing views and principles, b"lieving that if they were properly carried out they would prove an effective remedy for the conditions of those evils which have brought upon our Southland such widespread disaster and financial ;uin. 1. The acreage of cotton should be re duced not so much with a view of de creasing the crop that higher prices might be obtained, for we do not be lieve that the very low price of cotton at the present time can be accounted for on the ground of overproduction, but more with a view of giving the cotton farmer more time, more land, more labor, more fertilizers and better attention to the raising of the cereals adopted to our soil, realizing as we do that grain, with the roughness that it brings with it, means more and better live stock, more and better manure, better land, more meat, more milk and butter, more poultry and eggs. All of which are needed on the farm and which cannot be purchased by the farmer with low cotton without being met by financia-l ruin. 2. Rentals of land and credits ex teneCd should not be based exclusively upon cotton. By such a course hun dreds of thousands of bales of cotton are raised by thousands of farmers, who, instead of producing any~ thing like a suiliciency of farmi products ne cessary for man and beast, produce lit Ie else than cotton. Such a systemn oi not only ruinous and detrimental to the interests of this class of farmers, but its different effec'ts are feit, as a general thing, by all other farmers and citizens of this country. The most effective way of reducing the acreage of cotton would be to change this system. 3. The times and the condition of the country demand the practice of econo my on the part of every farmer to en able bimi to pay his debts to bring hia? to that miuch desired position ii life when he ean pay cash as he goes. t.has enablng him to buy cheaper. to hold and control to a measure his cotton crop and other products of the farm, keeping him out of the hands of specu lators and doing away with the neces sity of borrowving mioney at a high rate of interest, or, what is still worse, of obtaining credit on a mortgage for food products that should be raised on his own farm. If the price of cotton ever did justify this, the Southern cotton grower, in borrowing or obtaining credit at a higher rate of mnterest to enable him to make cotton, certainly that time has pas.sed and it now should be apparent to all that the farmer can not stand for any length of time a high rate of in terest or a dear credit. 4. A judicious use of commercial fertilizers coninectedl with a judi ious purchasing of the same is, a question that has no niegative to it, but there can be no suchi purchas ing of comimercial fertinzers when the farmer neglee:ts the nia ding of stabile and barn yard1 manure, the growing up on the soil and turning under of veget able matter with judicious systemi of farming and the proper care of his 3. Money is scarce and tight, and labor is poorly rewarded. Under~ exist ug conditions few if anuy can buy and pay for a farm out of the net earnings of the same, and those farmiers not very greatly in debt miust ecor;omize as5 thy hiav never before dIone to enabie them to pay their debts. Now we know that there is a cause for all this, and we firmly believe that it does not al together comec fronm mismaniagemient on the part of the farmetrs, but that the financial systeim and policy of our Giovernmenit are greatly at tault and have largely coutributed ini bringing .n this couutry the pi esen:t deplorable condition of aflairs.I Therefore, as ci!izens and farm ers, while we behe~ve it to be our imperative duty to pra'ice, teach and encoiurage :. reduction in the areage in cotton, tihe raising more largely of the ceroms, the imoproving of our ive stock and farms and homes, the rigid practicing of economy andl the doing of a ny and all o; her timn.e conneted with our farmers andi farm~ work in order to bring to our conuntry a more p)rosp:erous condition of arfidrs, that we at the same time as citizens, responsible from eitizenship and loving our country and homes and firesides as we do, feel it just as incumbeut upon us to teach and use our influence ini correcting all other evils detrimental to our interests, and especially that which we believe to be a ruinotus finan ecl system of the Governmecnt ini t;ie best wvay that can be shownm to us anid to do itall with a patriotic view and~ desire of bringing prosperity antd hap piness to every man, woman and( child, vey city, town and rural home throughout our beautiful Sunny S'outhb, and causing this grand Southern land, this God-given heritage of ours, the land of the brave and the home of the free, to blossom as the rose and to be filled with a teeming, smiling, hiappy and prosperous population. CoL. KEITT'S PLAN.j Col1 mEnlsn S. Keitt, who was in the audience, rose to speak or. the resolu tions. He said be recollected the time of '45, when cotton was at its lowest s price, and that he could go even farther back than that time spoken of by our di-tinguished Governor. He did not believe we had yet reached the bottom. ie did not propose to give them any couns.e1, bu t he proposed t. go on as in years past. ani raise everything lie e cold oil the farm, tmakiing cott.ot hi s surplus crop, aiul those farle rs pursu ing a -imilar policy ctujd make aoey' s at live cents, Hie had' no doiubt tht a not only 4)ur financiai systel but that that of the whole world was wro; There hadi been progress in everythii else, but our finaneial syre:u was the i allie aS in the days" raa. e Abrah:1u(bu:rht thle 1:11rial cudo hi- belve!' -art he h 1: i') w:h 4.i' : hr.ekits of e d.
