ELBET H. AU3LL, Enrro9. EET H. UI4sE, Proprietors. SWM. P. HOUt A T NEWBERRY, S. C. EDIESD.1P, SEPTEBR 14,189?. WE DO ,'T UNDERSTAND. The Cotton Plant has a good deal to say about the platform adopted at the May convention. There was no plat form adopted and it wiuld have been contrary to the constitution of the party to-haveadopted one. Some resolutions were adopted and a resolution was also adopted pledging support to the Nation a! Democracy. The State convention which meets next week should not adopt a platform in conflict with the national platform when it touches on national questions. The Cotton Plant talks about and urges the Alliancemen delegat,Ls to re ; ist any change in the platform already adopted. Those resolutions, whichthe Cotton Plant calls the platform, were nothing but the Ocala demands and they are now embraced in the Third party platform. If our State conven tion makes that its platform, will it be a Democratic platform or aThird party platform? Will we be Democrats or Third partyites? Won't somebody please tell us? If the Third party plat form is the same as the Democratic platform, where was the use and sense of a Third party? If it is not the same, can a Democratic convention endorse it and still be Democratic? How can the State convention endor.e Cleve land and at thesame time adopt a plat form antagonistic to the one on which Cleveland is making his fight? How can the Cotton Plant, that has all the time been for "measures" and not "men", advocate the election of Cleve land and at the same time fight the measures for which Cleveland stands? We confess, Dr. Stokes, that to us, you have woven a tangled web. Won't you please unravel it and explain to us the consistency of your position? You are for Cleveland, the Dendocratis nominee, yet you are against the Democratic platform. You are for "measures" not "men".- We confess to some confusion on this point. You'say "our State platform stands now, pledged to all the reforms of the Alliance, there is no excuse for a Third party. Chr _ the platform, and there might be a. possible ground for a Third party." That is, the State platform, as you call it, is the Third party plat form. Adopt it; and of course there is no need for a Third party. But how can you support Cleveland when he is on another platform? We confess we ~-do not co::.preh'nd, but wre suppose we shal eebyand by and we hope all things will work out right in the end. Our esteemed friend and fellow citi zen, the Rev. Jefferson A. Siigh, dele A- gate to the State convention and nomi nee for the Senate, seems to be in hard ,,c luck, even amidst his recent victories. That is to say his name ham. has again, on two occasions, been omitted from the published list of delegates to the State convention. When The Rerald Sand Newrs acccidently omitted his name, a great hue and cry was raised against the editor personally for such 7 omission. All sorts of charges and in sinuations were made from the stump about us, so we were told. We were made the burden of half a dozen or more-speeches by some of the stumpers. Well, now here comes the News and Courier and the Register and both are guilty of the same sin of omission. We respectfully call the Rev. Mr. Sligh's attention to this matter, and ask him why he has not turned loose his volley Sinvective against these two editors. Of course there is nothing now that could be gained by doing so, but then there is as r- -h reason to abuse them as it was to abuse us. -- We warn these esteemed contem "Zporaries'not to do so any more. The Register is taking up a good deal of space in urging the people to stand by the primary. TliMPis little use of S that. Who has even intimated that Iie was.not going to stand by the pri - mary. ~The minority so far as we have been able to see and hear has not even raised a murmur, but on the contrary has accepted the result very gracefully. The only talk of a new party has been from Mr. Bov:den and his Third party Z' followers, if be has any, and he was a ~. supporter of Mr. Tilman. Maybe he has some following, but it would be a very strange thing indeed for the ma jority to bolt and go in a Third party. Will the Register tell us if it feels any fear on that line? THE BEPUBLICANS5. State Chairman E. A. Webster of the '1epublican party bias. issued a call for a State convention to meet in Columbia 'on Tssday, the 29th day September, at 12 o'clock mn., for the purpose of nominating Presidential electors, elect ing a new State Executive Committee and transacting such other business as the interests of the party may require." -N ~ County conventions are ordered to be called to send delegates to the State convention and congeessional conven tions and elect chairmen. Newberry County will have three delegates in the State convention and five in the congressional convention. ~othing definite seems ye1t decided upon in regard to naming a State ticket. Some of them seem to favor Sputting out a State tieket while others are indifferent. There 'will be no use to put out a State ticket and we hard]y believe the Republicans will put out a ticket except 2for.Presidential electors. The State Convention meets in Co lumbia next Wednesday. The Shep S pard ticket 'will have 56 of 320 deie 'i.gates. -We notice that some of our exchauges are now giving attention to the subject of better public roads. It is a very im portant subject and one that should re eive attention. We need better roads. They would be of more practical bene fit to our farmers than all the politics -e have had the entire year. * --'-~"~-:.~ -~.--.'*. :-:.Z--... A PRESSNG -EED. There has possibly never been a time in the history of this country when there was a more pressing need for true manhood, than at the present. There is great unrest everywhere and in everything. There is a great temptation to ambi tious young men to fall in with the current and drift with the stream in order to gain place and position and temporary honor and applause. The danger is they will do this regardless as to whether it is right or not, and in fact, in many cases, no doubt doing so without considering at a. the great moral question of right or wroug. The principal idea seems to be to gain place and preferment. The:e is a crying need in this day for manhood-for moral courage to do and to say the right whether it be popular or not. A learned writer has given the fol low! ng which is apropos here: "Thepages of history are filled with the records of contrasted moral courage and cowardice. I think of no instance more instructive than that of Charles Sum ner and Lord Bacon. During the exeit ing contest that for weeks agitated th-Lgsaueadcomnt fMsa Legislature and community of Massa chusetts pending the election of a suc cessor to Mr. Webster, ballot after bal lot seemed to offer no hope of a decision or even progress. From time to time committees waited upon Mr. Sumner, urging him verbally to modify his v'ews upon the tariff, or to relax a little the vigor of. his statements- about the slavery question. Charles Sumner was of the stuff that heroes are made of. He told these committees, one and all, that he should abate none of his convictions; if he were elected to the Senate of the United States he would be elected utter ly unpledged. He said he would not step across the room to change a single vote in his favor. "Contrast with this conduct, which an honest life never tarnished, the sad confession of England's illustyious Lord Chancellor. Accused of bribery, the scholar, philosopher and statesman at first protested his innocence, but at last, either- in th cowardice of conscious guilt, or of tear of the court, said to the House of L:,rds: I do plainly and in genuously confess that I am guilty of corruntion and renounce my defence. I beseech your lordships, be merciful to a broken reed.' The Lord Chancel lor had tr r ned his massive intellect; he had negli .ed his conscience. When the awful hour of test came he fell, hu miliated and broken-hearted. Oh, young friends! there are wrecks of for mer men of honor and renown scattered all up and down our own country, sim ply because they lacked, in the hour of trial, the courage of a disciplined con scienea. Be not ye followers of their unwolthy examples! 'Be thou strong, therefore, and show thyself a man."' Our young men, and our older men, too, for that matt--, need to show themselves men. We sometimes feel that statesman sl in this day is nothing but a traffic for'office and the spoils of office. There has been too much demand for "measures and not men." But The Herald and News has great confidence and an abiding faith in the good common sense of the- people of this country and we believe all things will come out right in the end. We believe that Grover Cleveland is one of the brightest examples in this country to-day of true manhood-a manhood that has the courage of its convictions. He has the backbone to say and to do what he believes to be right, without counting the conse quences. Rev. Sam Jones says his backbone is as big as a post. And we believe the people of this country are going to elevate him to the highest office within their gift. Give us more true manhood and less drifting with the current-more inde pendence of thought and action and less servile following-more moral courage to say and to do what is right, according to on enlightened conscience, whether it be popular or not. ACKNOWLEDGES ITS FORMER ERROR. Our esteemed contemlorary, the Co lumbia -Register, tells us that Gov. Tillman and his administration is en tirely friendly to capital and corpo rations. Anything to the contrary was simply circulated for campaign effect. This is refreshing. Before the election the Register constantly reminded us that the issue was one between the people and the corporations, and time and again spoke of Mr. Sheppard as a bank president and Mr. Orr as a fac tory president, in such manner as to leave the impi-ession that that was suf ficient reason why these gentlemen should not receive the votes of the peo ple, and should be defeated. The same thing was done in this county. But then that was only for campaign effect. Well, we are glad to know that there is to be no unjust warfare waged against capital or corporations,'for we certainly need more factories and enterprises of all kinds in South Carolina to develop and build up our material interests. The Regi ter further says: There not a railroad, cotton fac tory or bank in our State that needs fear any infringement on their char tered rights. No legislation will be en acted to work them injury. All the people and their Governor demand is that they obey the laws of our State, do not seek to trample the political rights and liberty of their employees under foot, and help us build up and develop our State. Ther:e should be no strife between the people and capital, for each has a mutual dependence, one upon the other. There is a broad and mnviting field open in our State to investors, and our administration will extend a hearty welcome, and guarantee protection to their interests. There has been no effort, so far as we have been able to learn, on the part of corporations to violatc the law. The Herald and News has said time and again that there should be "no strife between the people and capital. for each has a mutual dependence, one upon the other," but during the cam paign the "Reform" speakers and the Register constantly told the people that it was a fight between the people and capital. We are truly glad that the "Reform" speakers and the Register were all wrong and mistaken in what they then said, and that they now see and realize1 that fact, and that we are:all new to go to work as a united people and try to repair the injury done by such talk, and to build up our material prosperity. It is really refreshing that the Regis ter has seen and realized, and now ac knowledges, the error of its former teachings. Better late than never, we suppose. It is heart-rending to read of the! fearful ravages of 'the cholera. It WHO? NAE SOM3E OF THEM. You don't bear any of the Tillman tes talking about helping out the rhird party. All the talk comes from he Antis who are going about insiunu tting that the organized Democracy will sell out to that crowd. There is not one word of truth in it. The Antis bave been telling so many stories since 1890 ihat it is hard for them to stop iuddenly. The Tillmanites propose to, whip out the Third party and all other )pponents.-Abbeville Medium. Will our esteemed cotemporary be kind enough to name some of those Antis who are talking about selling out to the Third party? The Herald and News has not heard of any. In fact we have been glad to see with what good grace the Antis accepted the situ ation. The only prominent man who has taken any part in the Third party agitation is one Mr. J. W. Bowden, who was not an Anti, though we be lieve he did not vote at all. You should not make any such charges without the proof. And you should specify, esteemed cotemporary. The Herald and News was an Anti, but we are now for the nbnince, but we don't like to see such talk as this from the Medium. That is not the way to unify and solidify the party. Mr. E. Brooks Sligh, of Chester, a recent convert to Republicanism says he will oppose Dr. Strait as Congress man from the Sixth District. He says he feels sure be will win. We hardly think so. Gov. Tillman now admits that he did use the language attributed to him in regard to the "factory class", only he used it in a modified form. He did not remember the modification when at Newberry, and "as it was in the newspapers, of course it wasn't so," but then since the campaign is over and the dust has somewhat been settled, the Governor's recollection is better. The Herald and News is glad the Gov ernor has cleared up the "campaign slander," only he might have done so before the campaign was over. . The Herald and News does not be lieve in prize fights and hence we have not given any of the details of the big prize fight in New Orleans last wee< between John L. Sullivan and James J. Corbett. Sullivan was knocked out in twenty one r.ounds and Corbett is now the champion of the world, and is the gainer financially of nearly or quite $100,CD3. These sorts of sports do not elevate the-morals of the people. WIT H CLOSED D' ' ~ Mr. Lat"mer Addresses a Meeting at Abbe vule, But Only a Special Few are Ad mitted. [Special to the News and Courier.) ABBEVILLE, September 10.-Asbury C. Latimer, the Democratic nominee for Congre3s from the 3d district spoke here to-day before a meeting of the County Alliance. Several hundred members of the Alliance werepresent. Latimer made a spcach on national issues. After he had been speaking for perhaps fifteen minutes a note was handed to John H. Morrah, the pre sidirg officer, who halted Latimner in the flow of his eloquence and re que2ted all present who were not in sympathy with the demands of the Reform movement t: leave the hall. A number of gentlemen left the hall, when the door was locked and bolted. The note upon which President Morrah is presumed to have acted was conuveyed to him by Charles Bow en, who said to a Reporter of The News and Courier that the note was written by WV. Christie Benet. - It is not known what Latimer said after the hall was vacated by the un reconstructed part of the audience, who were driven out of the meeting,.but up to the time they left- he made a fairly good speech. It is said that he afterwards made some unnecessary comments on. local political issues. A good many men think that, as Lati mer is running as a Democrat, he should have nothing to hide from the Democrats, and that the conduct of the Alliance to-day is not calcu lated to restore the era of harmony and good feeling. WHERE HE SrANDS. A. C. Latimner Den.es any Third Party Taint But Will Abide no Caucus Against the Ocala Demand.-Which His Constituents En dorse. LFrom the Columbia Register.1 I see some of the papers of the State continue to charge me with* being a third party man, and these charges are copied from our papers, until to-day I am held up before the nation in a false position. Now who is responsible for it? Never by word or act have.I given ground for an honest person to place such a charge upon me. On the con trary, I said through the press I had always been a Democrat, and that we had no need of a third party in South Carolina. I stand there ta-day. I have been nominated by Democrats in the Third District in the Democratic primary. I shall act with the Demo cratic party if permitted to represent this District in Congress on all ques tions which have not been decided by a majority of -my constituency. I will not abide any caucus against the Ocala demands, which have been adopted by the counties of this District as the Democratic State platform of my State. I request that the press of Lhe State copy this. A. C. LATIMER. Belton ,S. C., Sept. 8. NEW YORK IS sAFE. The Next President Satisfied with the Con dition of the Democratic Organization. BuzzARtD's B'AY, MASS., Sept. 10. Grover Cleveland arrived here this morning from New York and imme diately went to work on his accumu lated correspondence. To a reporter of the Associated Press he said: "I regard it as absolutely certain that the material is at hand in the State of New York to secure its electoral vote for the Democracy. Of course this can not be done without faithful work and harmonious, organized eftorts, but the Democrats of the State are acculsto,med to hard fighting, and it would bestrange if in this crisis of our struggle for party principles there should be any faltering or lukewarmness. There is certainly no indication of anything in our party councils or management except loyal effort and hearty zeal. These things afford at>undant grounds for my confi dence and satisfaction." Mrs. Felton Will Stump. [Atlanta Journai.1 CRAwFoR.DSVILLE, G A., Sept. 3. Dr. Felton will stump this district for Seab Wright. Mrs. Felton will do the same t bing. When M rs. Felt on takes the stump it will be the first Georgia woman that has attempted the feat of A CBOLERAIC ZEBELLIGN. The Orders of the .Governor of New York Defied-The People of the South Bay District Refuse to Allow the Land ing of Quarantined Passengers on Fire Island. NEW YoRK:, September 12.-Tht danger of the invasion of cholera hai for the moment sunk into the bact ground, and to-day the question upper most in the mind of the public has beer is the State in possession of Fire Island or is the command of the situation stil held by the rioting Baymen, woo re fuse to permit the State to take its own Events have followed so swift upoi one another's heels that it is hard tc understand the situation from the dis jointed reports received. Meanwhil< the Normannia's passengers, and to i degree other quarantined passengers are being tossed from place to place an< apparently destined, like the crew o the Flying Dutchman, to sail on for ever. The gravity of the situation ha brought Governor Fowler to the scene and the vigorous and decisive way it wbich he is proceeding bids fair t< right matters and bring order out o the present tangle. In brief the event of the day have been the assembling o an armed force of Baymen who have prevented landings at Fire Island is.uance of injunction to restrain th< State authorities from land ing quaran tined passengers at Fire Island, an< the last report, which was that th, boat Cepheus, with passengers -fron the Normannia aboard, was at Fire Island, held at bay by an aimed mol who had successfully opposed two at tempts to land. So far as the choler; itself is concerned there is nothing new THE FIGHT AT FIRE ISLAND. FIRE ISLAND, N. Y., Sept. 12.-A 3.45 p. .m., the Cepheus reached th dock, which was densely crowded wit Islip citizens armed with shotgunm clubs, etc., who prevented the line fron the boat being attached. The captaii backed out, turned around again an< attempted to land. In this he was un successful, although a man aboari shouted they. had Governor Flower' order to land. Tnis afternoon the Ce pheus lying at anchor. The crowi knew of the injunction issued. There have been exciting scenes her this afternoon and up to the presen hour, owing to demonstrations by fron 3C0 to 400 Baymen and others, led b: Supervisor W. B. Young and ex-Supel visor John H. Vail, of Isliptown, wb took possession of the docks, and armed with shotguns, oars and othe weapons, twice resisted attempts mad4 to land passengers from the Cepheus The Cepheus is anchored about tw< hundreu feet from the dock. As the Cepheus ran alongside th dock the first time a hundred voice shouted: "You cannot land here; g, back to New York." Others shoute< threats of throwing the men overboar< if they stepped from the vessel. The hawser that was thrown to a post wa immediately thrown back. Five pc licemen on the Cepbus climbed th gunwale and motioned as though t draw revolvers, but went no furthel C. T. Wall, whom Governor Flowe authorized to take charge of the hote here, asked the mob to listen to hin and then said: "I represent the State of New York and am authorized to land here an< assume charge." The crowd shouted "Show us your authority!" He there upon produced the paper which he be gan to read, but could not make hin self heard. Many passengers, mostl; men, appealed to the crowd to let ther land, but the answers that came wer derisive shouts. Lawyer Reid and Su pervisor Younig informed those aboar< the steamboat that Justice Barnari had granted an injunction restrainin, them from landing. WVall asked to se the injunction, but as the documen had not yet arrived it could not be pre duced. They stated, however, thati was on the way. The Cepheus again ran alongside tb dock, but a solid line of determine< Baymen repelled the attempt to lanc Wall again asserted his authority, bu when he stated that his authority wa from Dr. Jenkins the crowd jeered ani Superviser Young shouted: "We don recognize Dr. Jenkins or Governo Flower's authority here." LOTTIE COLLINS, THE BOoM-DA-AY SINGER, who was on the Normannia, stood i thefirst row of passengers that line the decks of the Cepheus, put out bot hands and cried "Shame, shame, yoi who call yourselves Americans,shame! and as the steamer again backed fror the dock the English actress kissed hE hand and smiled. After the Cepheu had anchored a boat was lowered ani P. T. WVall and Capt. Tripple wer rowed in it to the dock, but were no allowed to step ashore.. .Wall said b~ desired to confer with a committei but was not allowed to land. He fia ly read his authority from Dr. Jenkin: Supervisor Young replied: "I do nc recognize Dr. Jenkins. This is not th port of New York, and I do not propos to allow any passengers from infecte ships to land in the town of Islip. "But we have not a sick person o board; everybody is well; and I appes to you in behalf of A merican wome and children to allow these people 1 land," said Wall. "We think of our own women an' children first, and intend to - prote< them at all hazards," replied tb supervisor. While this conversation was goin on Dr. Voight, who is at the hots to attend the passengers, appeare on - deck and began teiling WVall b had charge there, when several Bay men cro,wded around him shouting "Throw him into the water!" "Drow him!" and would''have probably car ried out these threats but for the ri porters. The boat returned to th Cepheus, where the 'dejected passet ges' spirits were being kept up by band of musid, the band playing "Sth Spangled Banner," "God Save th Queen" and "Yankee Doodle." Th boat came off again, however, an Wall asked to have provisions set aboard the Cepheus. Some in tb crowd shouted: "All right, let thea have all the provisions they want, but a greater number answered: "N< no! Give them nothing. Let them g back to New York." Dr. Voight has just stated that he informed that Governor Fowler ha telegraphed Sheriff Darlington, of Su folk County, to come here with dept ties and keep the State property clef of intruders and protect the Cepheus passengers in landing. Many threal were made of burning or cutting dow the dock if the passengers begun t land, and a number of men procure axes with which to cut away suficiei of the dock near the hotel to prevet prsons reaching the latter. At 4.55 Lawyer Eugene Fiste!,< Babylon, counsel to the Islip board< health, reached here with a copy< the injunction granted by Tustice Ba: nard. His arrival was greeted wit prolonged cheers from the crowd c the dock. Everything is in readiness in th hotel for the care of 570 passengers o the Cepheus whenever they are landei A carload of provisions has just arrive from New York. The people her have been made insane by their exe cise of power. Ever since nightfa they have displayed a degree of cruelt well-nigh inconceivable. After theCepheus had come to anch< two police officers rowed to the Ian< ing and asked that a letter be takeni Dr. Voight. The mob refused to a low the letter to be brought ashor and drove the police off with threat As it was growing dark a small bo; came from the direction of the steamne It was rowed by two policemen andi the! stern stood a gray-haired ma Robert M. Thompson. Thompson asked to be heard on behalf' of 200 women and children on the steam er, who were suffering from hunger, ex posure and exhaustion. After some minutes of insulting retorts by the mob he was allowed to speak. He said that the meu on the steamer did not ask to land. The young women would remain if necessary, but the old women, some of them grandmothers, and the children, suffering not for comforts but for decent care, should be allowed to land. They would be returned to the steamer after a night's rest and one meal. Attorney Williard P. Reid an swered that if the captain of the steamer would come ashore the people to whom he spoke would consider the request. Thompson returned to the steamer, and then Senator McPherson was rowed from the steamer. "Citizens," said the Senator at last, "the captain declines to come ashore. If you will give me your injunction papers I give you my % ord of honor I will give them to him and he will ac cept them as legally served." "Bring your captain ashore as you .promised," said Attorney Reid. "You appear to hesitate over some legal quibble and your hesitation means unspeakable sufferings, probably death, to women and children," said the Sen f ator. The crowd remained silent. "If we can bring him ashore will you agree to let the suflering, innocent help less people land?" "They cannot land!" yelled the mob. The Senator turned his face to the mob, and, in an impressive voice, said: t "I appeal to you, men, in the name of God, not to be longer led into heartless cruelty by this attorney, but to give your consent that these women and children be taken from this boat where they have nothing to eat, no place to sleep, where t he common decencies of t life cannot be longer observed, where a the surroundings are foul from sea i sickness. Before you answer think what will be done. Rmeruber your i own wives and children. Be manly; i do not bring everlatintg disgrace on I your names; be me:." - But the crowd stood there sullen and I silent vbiile the lawyer said: "They 3 cannot laud: if we let them we wil . give away our case." i "They cannot land," re-echoed the mob and applauded Attorney Reid a when be declined to permit food and t blankets to be sent aboard unless the i captain came ashore. When the boat was rowed back to - the steamer the newspaper men went to every one of the Islip health board who was present and begged that this r horrible crime be not cornmtted. A I meeting of the board was held at 8 30, when a resolution was passed that if Dr. Voight would go with Lawyer Reid to the steamer and see that the e injunction papers were served, the s board would allow food and blankets to be taken aboard. Dr. Voight was 1 was made to promise that if this was I allowed no attempt would be made to land passengers, and it was then per mitted. Dr. Jenkias will come to Babylon e and Fire Island to-night. ) GETTING USED TO THE CHOLERA.

[Special to News and Courier.) a A UGUSTA, September 12.-Congress j man Thomas E. Watson got into a a fight this afternoon in coming to a Augusta to meet Major Black in joint Sdebate to-night. It happened on the i Georgia train, which was crowded with r hundreds of people, mostly Dlemocr ats, s who came to the city to hear the dis I cussion. Mr. Frank Jordan, of Han e cock County, who is an Allianceman t andi a Democrat, was the g.entleman e that got into the fracas withi Watson. , Mr. Jordan in walking through the i isles of the car in which Watson was i. seated, was cheering for Black, and re 't marked that Watson was sent to Con e gress by the Democrats, and that he e went back on his party and was a d traitor. Some say Mr. Jordan said " Watson sold out to the Republican a party. 1 Mr. Jordan had passed Watson when a he made use of the words, but the o Congressman lheard him and called Jordan a liar and at the same time j struck him in the back of the head. t Jordan did not see Watson, and as he e turned to see who had struck him Watson peeled Mr. Jordan another g blow, blackening his right eye. Jor dj dan made for Watson, but his friends, d who were largely in the majority, in e terfered and prevented him from strik -ing Watson. The fight created con :siderable excitement, and pistols were 'a drawn by many on the car, but no -firearms were used.
