ELBEiT H. AULL. E :. ELBERT H. AULL, Pro prie trs WM. P. HOUSEALL, NE WBE R RY. S. C. WEM ESDh1, APUL 6, 182. "WE FOOLS OF TlE SOUTH." The above is the title of an editorial in the Greenville News of Saturday. The article is so replete with truth, and expresses our views so fully, that we insert it here and ask our people to read it, ponder it, and then grapple with the situation like men. free from prejudice. There is great need for statesmanship, patriotism and unselfish devotion-for a leader or leaders pos sessing these qualities. Looking at the present political con ditions in the South and remembering that the same kind of thing now going on has gone on at intervals among all people in all ages, we may well wonder that the human race has made so much progress, that so much good has come from so much bad. Here we are in the South hying at each other's throats on free silver and anti free silver, sub-treasury and anti sub-treasury. In Alabama Kolb and Jones are fighting desperately. In Loui siana it is McEnery and Foster. In North Carolina, Georgia and Texas the third party has been thoroughly and fully organized. What fools we are. Demagogues are stirring strife and working harder to make class issues than they would work for the salvation of their own souls. The South needs of all things capital to develop and build up her resources and such confidence in the stability and character of her State governments as will invite capital and immigration. Yet no effort is spared to create prejudice against capital and its representative-. Every energy is being devoted to divide us in hostile classes to force one part of the white people into a position where they will have to choosu betweon practical disfranchise ment and .aauouiug their party. Every effort to heal these breaches, to bring about compromises while it is yet time, to get our people together, is met with showers of abuse and derision. The men who attempt it are pointed out as public enemies. And.tbe shadow of the force bill is hanging over us all the time. If a republican congress and president are elected next fall the force bill will come and the negro masses in southern States will be backed by federal bayo nets. Take ScutU ;r' ,a, for instance. A nice position we are in now to meet the force bill and a determined radical effort! In 1876 we won because we were all together. Rich and poor, country and town, rode and worked together. The people turned out as one man and off ered their lives and gave their votes. The rich poured out money to make the fight with. The lawyers were ready to defend men accused of political off ences, to represent the case of the white people in the courts without fee or pro mise. What shape would we be in now? We are being taught to hate and dis trust each other. Revenges are being planted in our hearts. Unless there is a change for the better, trouble, if it comes, will find us powerless. Not only are we unable to do anything to in crease the prosperity of our State and h ten erprogress, but we are practi ca -lT e pess to prevent her from slip ping back into the clutches of the radi cals. Two years ago we could tell the repub licans to pass their force bill if they choose; that it would accomplish noth ing against a solid, united white race. We can not say so now. Perhaps it will come out all right. People have struggled through dangers as threatening, through trouble as thick, and have continued to go for ward. On the other hand, peoples who t.ersisted in folly and blindness and fol lowing false leaders have decayed to destruction. In every part of the South every man who really loves his country and people and who can see beyond a little office or a temporary gain or the gratifi cation of his hatreds or prejudices should give h is every effort to preparing the people for the trial that may be just ahead. Never has there been a more urgent deman<d for wisdom and patriotism than there is now. Demagogues'and cranks and agitators ought to be suppressed by the strong' force of public sentiment. The people of all opinions, positions and classes - ought to come together with mutual concessions and fair compromises that we may be ready to present a solid front when the assault comes. The Italian Government wants in demnity for the Italians lynched at New Orleans before taking any part in the Chicago World's Fair. The legislature of Iowa has appropri ated $1253,000 for the State exhibit in the Chicago World's Fair. Newv Orleans had two fires last Sun day which caused a less of nearly $3,000O,000t. Thirty thousand bales of cotton w;ere burned. T.he organs must be badly scared of the ticket of the peace and harmony convention, and exceedingly hard up for argument, judging fromi the tirade of abuse and villification indulged in. Every issue is fall of this sort of stuff. We trust the people are in position this year not to be carried awayv on the wave of prejudiee an~d passion, but that they will demanmd somethin~g more substantir-!, and that each side must stand or fall on its merits alone. Caipt. V. E. 31eBee has been made General Manager of the Central of Georgia. Hie is a irst class railroad man and well deserves and merits this promotion. The Herald an~d News extendls its congratulations. L.aurens township, the ho me of Irby and Shell, is anti-Til!mnau. Great Scot i Senator Irby and his private secretary had sc-arcely reached WVash ington. It will b~ ne-ce-.ary for him to return home again very son April let is not all fols' dzmy~. Bis mare-k, the German ex-Chanclior cele bratedi his T7th birthday last Friday. The Greenville News thinks that eight or ten thousand men constantly employed for an indefinite period of time nmight teach the Columbia Reg ister something of Sotuth Carolhna pol ities. Just let the Register pursue its pres ent course and continue its perversion of the facts and you keep your temper and talk sense to the people and give all sides a fair and impartial showing and the Register wvill see the error of its way by and by. All things come com to him who labors and waits. Saturday is the day for all Demo cratic Clubs to meet, to reorganize and also to send delegates to the County Convention. No other day will do, ac cording to the new rules adopted. Every member has to sign the club roll. This is imperative also. Each club is entitled to a member of the County Executive Committee. We publish this week the call for several clubs to meet, and would have been glad to publish them all iT the notices had been sent. The Herald and News would appre ciate it if all the secretaries or some member would send us immediately the list of delegates, any resolutions or other action taken by the clubs at the meetings to be held on Saturday. Supporters of the peace and unity nominees everywhere should keep in mind that so far as they are concerned this campaign is to be a decent one. Let o:hers tear around and throw dirt and make nasty appeals to unworthy prejudices as much as they like. We are appealing to the people-the vot ing, thinking, respectable peple. They have an instinctive understnding of the proprieties and an insti:ictive re sentment of blackguardism and can be trusted to resent the insults to their Crom nn sense and intelligence being sent broadcast from Columbia.--Green ville Sews. The Herald and News has decided long ago to pursue the even tenor of its way, and tell the truth as it sees it, and not to rip and ter around about anything. We shall tell the people what we think is.right and proper, and give our opponents a fair hearing. If the people desire again to ride the wave of abuse and misrepresentation we shall warn them against any such course, and endeavor to point out to them the right way, by common sense and reason, but if they choose not to pursue that way we are not going to rip around about it in the least. The Herald and News will have discharged its duty as an honest journal, and we have hopes that the people will not continue to be blinded by prejudice and driven along by abuse and led by cranks. We believe they will listen to reason and that they will measure men this year by proper st andard. Col. Keitt on Fiat Monay. To the Editor of The Herald and News: All money is fiat money because all money is a creation of law. Fiat comes from the latin word fco, fini, factus, sum-which means to make-decreed by sovereignty. Gold and silver are commodities of great intrinsic value. They are not money un til they are coined. In 1783 the States were acknowledged and declared sepa rately by Great Britain t: be free, sover eign and independent. In 1789, by the adoption and ratification of the United States Constitution, the several States compacted their sovereignty into the peo ple of three-fourths of the States, where it now resides and by whom it is exer cised. Being a recognized government in the galaxy of nations it was necessary to have our unit of money. Congress having the sole right under the Consti tution of the United States "t coin money and regulate the value thereof," enacted a law 2nd of Ap~il, 1792, making as our unit of money a certain number of grains of pure silver, and its ratio a cer tain number of grains of pure gold, giv ing to both the same rights of coinage and the same debt-paying power. The silver dollar contained 371.1 grains of pure silver, and its ratio the gold dollar contained 242 grains of pure gold. The ratio was fixed at 15 to 1. By Act of June, 1831, the ratio between gold and silver was changed to 16 ':o 1. The silver dollar as unit of money remained the same 371 grains of pure silver, while the gold dollar was reduced from 241 grains of pure gold to 23 20-]00 of that metal. In 1837 it was discovered that the silver dollar had been undervalued in the ad justment ~of the medals in 1834, and the amount of pure gold in the gold dollar was increased to 23 22-100 grains. This was done by making the silver dollar nine-tenths fine, the same as the gold dol lar, without changing the weights; 371 ) grains of pure silver has constituted our silver dollar since the first issue in 1792. while the amount of pure gold in the gold dollar has been twice changed. This is conclusive that the silver dollar is or r unit of money and the gold dollar the ratio, the jugglery of the money kings to the contrary notwithstanding. Up to thelate war gold and silver do! lars alone were recognized as money; pa per dollars were only promises to pay gold or silver dollars. Ne:essity educated us and we'moved forward. The General Government creatad money. Hecr right to do so was tested. The Supreme Court of the United states, the final arbiter in the affairs of the States, declared that Congress, the legislature of the sovereign power, can coin anything into money. TVhis is in full accord with the opinions of the ablest thinkers and writers on polit ical economy in the world, from Ari-totle down to Jolhn Stuart Mill. The value of money does not depend on the material, but on its legal tender qualities given to it by law. It it is necessary for the quan tity of gold or silver in a gold or silver dollar to be worth a dollar it would sim ply be a commodity, and in trade an commerce we would simply be exchian. ing one commodity to get a third com modity-a round-about way of barter. The paper do!!ar has advantages over the gold and silver dollar. 'The metal coins lose by attrition. When taken to the Treasurv or banks they are weighed, and the loss is sustained by the holder. There is no loss by mutilation or abrasion of paper money. It is taken at the Treas urv- dollar for dollar, face value, as issued. Thlis is a great advantage paper has over specie, in addition to its greater con venence. The legal tenders of the United States. based on the faith and credit of the na tion, are the best money in the world. They now command a premium in Lon don and Paris, the great commercial cen tres of the world, over gold and silver coins. The only trouble is. there are not enough of them in circulation among us. It is our own fault. This is the people's governmen't. They are the orig;n and source of all power. There should be a diree': primary from Governor down to c 'roner, allowing every qulied citizen to vote who desires to do so, on c-ondition he submits to the result and votes the ticket at the general elec tion. We will then have a government of the pecople. by the people and for the people. Let us put men in eflece, from Presi dent to coroner, who will carry out our demands, and we can then have the gov ernment issue money according to the needs of, business. Trust no man who has deceived us. Require every man who is a candidate to speak out plainly and let us know where he stands. lt will not be amiss to require them to state in writing their positions. Let us make no mistake. The times demand the high est manhood. No penalty is too severe to be intlicted upon any man who de ceves us. Riespectfully, EnnisoN S. EITT. THE s. TT ; iNs 'fr". T .COl).1 CA E Upi lu of th.- st upreme:u Court of the Uniwi ?tatc atlr,ing the Jud;;ument if the Cireuitl Court. WAsI1NUTtN, April 4.-The Su premue Court of the United State: to day atsiraied the judgnent of the Cir cuit Court of the Lnited States for the district of South Carolina ii favor of the State of South Carolina inl its .,uit against the Coosaw Milling Coinpany. This is a cas( of geat importance to the State, and ivolves its right to con trol the phosphate beds in Coosav River, which are exceedingly valuable. The Coosaw Mining Company claimed that in 1,76 the Legislature of South Carolina made a contract conferring on it a perpetual grant to the exc!u. ive iuing of the phosphate rock and phosphate deposi; iii Coosav 1iver. The State contended that by its net the Legislature had granted the Coosaw Company exclusive rights for only a limited period, namely, until the expi ration of twenty-one years fixed in 1870, when the Company was given the right (but not the exclusive right) to wine phosphate. This period ex pired in 18J1. The Court to-day, in an opinion by Justice Harlan, holds that the Act of 1S76 did not give the Coosaw Company a perpetual and exclusive grall, liut merely an exclusive grant for mue :it ance of the twenty-one years covered by the original contract of 170.

Some who were not particularly or specialy ilnterested in the chotol, wanted a high sehiol. It did well for a while, but gradtally deelined. Of late there have been four or five exception iallV good young lady teachers who have had the school but for a season each. Why is this? Is it for the want of unity or co-operation? To the earn est, conscientious, pains-taking instruc ror, teaching is by no means coliupara ble to a pleasant walk over a bed of roses. The self-denying tear-her, who seeks the moral and spiritual as well as the intellectual good of the children, should have the unstinted sympathy and support of trustees, parents and guardian- alike in horni. training and in the :niaintenance of school discipline. The young ladies who have had charge of the Helena School were very worthy successors of each other and their work was meritorious. We -do hope hat the all-imniportant and imi:niorral work o' careftul culture amiong the dear childlren rmay not be (lelayed or hindered hut hel ned b'. usd all. SANs Som(. How is This for a Straw?

Doctors Failed to Relieve. Speedily Cured by Cuticura Remedies. Tn the summer of 18S8, a sore came on the flesby part of my right leg, not far from the shin bone. It continued"to increase in size, and eventually formed a large ulcer three inches long by two wide. I em ployed a regular physician, but he gave me no relief. It was very painful, and eventnally part of the f!esh t., the bone dropped out. After suffering with it for six months I was induced to try the CUTrrcur.a REatEDIEs. At this time I was completely help Icess, unable to walk without crutches, and suf fered greatly. in about a week the sore began to show signs of Improvement, and eventually was completely her.led. Another sore then broke out on my instep, hut the same treatment soon cured that. I was lndebted solely to the CUTIcCLnA REMEmiES for my restoration to~health. My leg is now as well as it ev.-r was, and since then I have not been trou. bied with sores. 1). F. MERRITT, Ellisville, Miss. We herehy -ertify that we are acquainted with the adore,.ill i.
