XL WBEERR, S. C. NEDIES Y. RUST 2, 1893. The editor has just returned from a business trip to North Carolina and we find that in the past few days the rains have been pretty general, but before that they were partial. In some places the crops are fine and in other places they seemed to have suffered very much. We find the same cry over there of "hard times" and the scarcity of money that is to be heard here at homue. If it is the fault of our national legisla tien it is to be hoped that the Congress which convenes next week will do something for the relief of the people. But we think it will be a mistake to look too much to legislation for relief. Much of our outside space is taken up this week with the Farley-Irby Tillman quarrel. No doubt many of our readers have seen it but some have not and then we want to keep a record of it. It should be a matter of regret to all law-abiding and peace loving citizens, to see prominent officials en gaging in such wrangles. The Herald and News does not propose to pass judgment on the merits of the contro very, but we do say that the whole thing is an ugly piece of business, and no true Carolinian can feel proud of any man who has been placed in posi tions of honor and trust who will en gage in such mud slinging. If Mr. Tillman's letter be true it would seem that there has been some ugly work going on in Washington among some of our citizens who were sent there to attend to business for our people. There may be more developments and maybe by and by our people will get at thetruth. Maybe after awhile they will find out what sort of leaders they have been following. The whole thing is to be very much deplored. Congress i. caiied together in extra session. It will convene Dext Tuesday. it is to be hoped that it will devote itself to business and do what is best for the country. The members should not be too much concerned about lay ing foundatiwzs for re-elections, but should apply themselves to the mat ters of legislation in bar.d. The-financial question is the one im portant one that will need their atten tion. Just what is the best to be done we will not -pretend to say, but if any relief can come from Congress we hope it will be speedily forthcoming. It seems to be a pitty that Col. D. K. Norris can't get an office. He appears to want one very much. That is n"eh ing unusual, however, for nearly every man yo *reet wants an offce. We had thoup.~ ue would be elected Presi dent of the State Alliance, for we thought it was understood that he was G~ov.~Tillman's choice. But then he should console himself with the fact that he is a trustee of Clemson College, and it was only a few years ago when as good authority as Gov. Tllman himself declared that to be a trustee of an agricultural college was honor enough for him. The meting at Greenwood last Sat urday seems not to have been so largely attended as was expected. Gov. Till man was not there, and neither did he attend the State Alliance meeting. In fact he seems to be keeping exceedingly quiet just now. No doubt he has his * hands about full to keep up with the Dispensary. Senator W. D. Evans. of Marlboro, was elected president of the State Al liance. Does that mean he is tObethe Alliance candidate for Governor* The Herald and News has always consid ered Mr. Evans a very good man. We do not expect, however, to see him en dorse the Third party platform, still holding on to the Democratic organi zation. We like to see a man be a man and alwau tell us just where he is at. The Herald and News desires to say that if any of its readers desire to give expression to their views on any sub ject, we will gladly publish it. It does not matter whether you agree with us or niot. Discussion of any subject, if done in the proper spirit, will do good. All we ask is that you express your views in courteous and respectful lan guage and that you be not personal or abusive. We have had entirely too much of that sort already for the pub lic good. It is not elevating or in-~ structive in any sense of the terms. BIS FATE sEALED. George S. Turner, the Wealthy Spartan burg Murderer, Refused a New Trial. [Special to News and Courier.i COLUMBIA, July 2.-In the Su preme Court to-day there ended a re muarkable c.se so far as the Courts are concerned. The last decree has gone forth and Geo. S. Turner, the wealthy Spartanburg man whbo foully murdered his brother-in-law, Ed. Finger, sonie years ago, after seducing Finger's sis ter, must die at the end of the rope, and that soon, unles-, perchance, Ex eeutive clemency should intervene to save him from a felon's death. All his riches and the employmzent of the very best legal talent could avail him noth ing save the delaying of t be execution of the death sentence. In no case have such herculean ef forts been made to save a man's life. It seems that there were some who in tended to sue Turner for $3,000 dama ges for the seduction of Miss Finger. If he is hanged the action dies with him and no one will get a cent. Hence some wished his life saved, and did all they could to accomplish that end. Ohly the G;overnor's pardon can avail now. Tuzr Ler is said to be worthb $100,000'.*** 11IS DEATH SENTENCE. LSpec~ial to News and Courier.1 SPARTANEURG, July 2;.--eorge S. Turner was sentenced to-day to be hanged the first day of Septenmber. He was carried to t he Courth suse in a close carriage and immediately arraigned be fore Judge Wallace, who proniounced the sentence in the fewest words possi ble. Turner looked somewhat pale, but did not seem to be especially moved. P. C. Zylstra, aged seventy-theee years, committed suicide in Charleston vfn July 3th by drowning. A THE ALLIANCE IN COUNMIL. W. D. Evans Is Elected President. and J. I. Keitt Vice Fresident-Extraordinary ResolUUons, which Show which Way the Wind Blows-Avow ed Third Party Men Share the Honors of Office. :condensed from the News and Courier.1 WALHALLA, July 27.-There is a pretty little graveyard within fifty feet of the place of the sixth annual meet ing of the Farmer's Alliance. This is perhaps suggestive that before the Alliance men again see Walhalla there will be a burial ground filled with political corpses. Certainly to-day's actions anticipat - such results. Either the Alliauce wants its burial suit or it hopes to see one procured for the Na tional Democracy in South Carolina. The South Carolina Alliance has east the die and plainly says it intends to "force" its demands as an issue in the political campaign. There is to be no dodging. Loyalty to every Alliance demand is required for Alliance sup port, be that woat it may. The News and Courier has been something of a prophet as to Mr. Evan's election to the presidency of the Alliance. When time was called W. D. Evans was the only real candidate in the field, and the Administration-Bowden candidate, D. K. Norris, was not presented and Don aldson declined to run. He and his friends are happy over his vindication and the defeat of any suggested candi dates. W. D. EVANS ELECTED PRESIDENT. At the night session the principal business was the election of officers, which was started about 11 o'clcck. During the day it seemed pretty well settled that Norris would not be no minated, and his friends had reason to believe he would be defeated and did not care to arouse any antagonism. To Col. Norris's credit it must be said that be has nothing to do with the matter. Vice President W. D. Evans was nominated in a fine speech. Don aldson's name was presented, when he made a brief and dignified statement that be bad to emphatically decline to allow his name to beconsidered. Evans walz tben elected. Joseph L. Keitt, of Newberry, was elected vice president and J. W. R id, of Spartanburg, and F. P. Taylor, of Chesterfield, secretary and treasurer respectively. Evan's selection is about the best that could have been made for the Alliance. He is an independent man and is not bound up by pledges. Governor Tillman's friends perhaps get little satisfaction out of the election. Ever since the memorable railroad commissioners bill, Tillman and Evans h . not been especially devoted. Col. Evans, while a Reformer, is not a cost tail swinger. neither has be had any one else to do his thinking. Col. Keitt's election was perhaps a sop to the Third Party element. Resolutions thanking the authorities of Clemson Cotlege and the citizens of Walhalla for courtesies extended were passed. After debate at the night session the Alliance lectur ers were taken out from State officers and put under t'-e control of the State officers. Several were elected and will be called for by counties as wanted. The Alliance set about with the determination of getting through with its work as soon as possible. At 10 o'clock the body wsq called to order and remained continuously in session until 1 o'clock, and then took only an hour's recess for dinner, and went back in tbe afternoon to tackle the silver question and tell the good peo. ple of the country how to inject a finan cial elixir into the nation; why Cleve land was "one of the robbers," and all about running a great nation. 0f course everyb>ody knows that the Alli ance is a secret organization and that its proceedings are sacredly guarded. A press committee has been appointed, but nothing much is given out by it. After the morning seMion the commit tee graciously sad: "We did nothing except a great deal of routine work." But there are ways known to the aver age reporter of getting what he wants. So everything except that which is labelled "official" is guess work, but the correctness even of that is worth wagernng on. WHOLESALE SALARY REDUCTIONS. The most important question con sidered this morning was salary reduc tions. The treasury of the Order is weak, the membership steadily de creasing, and the necessity of money reform and retrenchment in its manage. ment is acknowledged. The Alliance has had competent officers, but to-day, after a hard 8ght, the secretary's salary was cut from $800 to $300, and the president's from $300 to $l50! It is said that Mr. Norris led the fight against such a reduction and my information is that Burn, of Darlington, "jumped" on him in vigorous style for having taken such a stand. The committee on the president's message submitted complimentary resolutions on his ad. dress. * C * * * C THE EXCHANGE DID A GOOD BUSINESS Among the members there is some talk about President Donaldson's .le liverances, and especially as to that part where he said his respects to the demagogues in polij:icn. T be reading of reports of committees consumed a considerable time; among the most interesting was that of the State Alli ance Exchange. The report indicates, so far as can be learned, that tbe buRi ness of the Exchange for the past eleven months has been very good, aggregat. ing about $170,000 to $180,000. A little over half of this is for fertilizers. The business is strictly cash or for thbe best commercial paper. The committee on resolutions found plenty of work on its bands, as Senator Keitt's resolution oc silver, banks, etc, was lengthy. Its consideration took place at the after noon sesion.. F.ON ALDSON'S SIMION PURE DE3MOCR ACY During the day there was a decided turn ing towards Donaldson for some reason, and I have heard not a few delegates say that he could be re-elected, His friends claim that he has fully twenty-five of the delegates. It went so far that friends waited on Donald son to secure his consent to allow thE use of his name. Dooaldson declined to run on the ground that while in sympathy with the Alliance and itt purjgse lhe was not hostile to Cleve land or the Democracy, and with these convictions be could not be at the head of the body in South Carolina as at present operated. Moreover the Alli. anece organization was opposed tc Cleveland and the Administration, wbieb action he c-ould not e.id"r-e. H e has every reason to feel satit'fied with the talk of delegates. THE AFTERN(oN SESSION. At 2 o'clock the Convention reas sembled and continued working~ on its mazes of giddy "whereases" until dark. ibere was a brief adjournment, and a! 9 o'c'lock the delegates retua ned with t1. avowed purposeof finishing up all the work to-night, if it took ten more hours. There was but little chance tc see the press committee ano the only t bintz given out was Keitt's resolution, which is destined to become celebrated in the political history 'of the State. Brit people want a general ideaof wha1 was done. To begin with, a resolutiori restricting the v-oting power to elected detegates and the president in case ofta tie was passed. Up t3 this time various standing committeemen, doorkeepers, chaplain, lecturers, treasurer and all have beer allowed to vote. Spartanburg and larger counties complained and the voting~ power was restricted to thirty six, thbe number of the delegates and the president. The financial conditiot of trhe Order has occasioned muet worry of mind to the Alliance dee eates, and the executive committee, ii is understood, recommended that the services of the seven Alliance lecturern be dispensed with. There was a strong at~d hard fight on this line for a lout time, and the question was finally tponed until the evening session. Te general opinion is that the lecture system will be abandoned. The main action of the Convention has been the adoption of an Alliance programme for the next election in the shape of Col. Keitt's resolution. In a word, the Alliance wants the whole hog oi none, and intends to force all candidates seek ing the Alliance support to epdorse and defend the Ocala platform. Dis cussion on this resolution branched off into a general discussion of Alliance principles, particularly tbe silver ques Lion. THE DEMAGOGUE BURN. Cleveland received a "large and en thusiastie" portion of the blame, The hurrah of Burn, of Darlirgton, was not more than a tirade against Cleve land and "modern" Democracy. He said that Democrats in league with Republicans, and led by Grover Cleve land. were runing the farmer. Then he called Cleveland the Czar at Washing ington, and that Cleveland bad made a million dollars in a recent speculation, which money was robbed from the people of the South. Then he talked about Wall street and the Farmers' Movement and States rights and Till man, and wound up by attributing the whole responsibility to Grover Cleve land and other robbei.. The delegates seemed very free to talk, perhaps jok ingly, about Lecturer Burn's talk, and suggested that he repeat it. This was the only mention made of Tillman during the day. The discussion ranged from the first Coinage Act of the last century down to these exciting times. Perhaps one purpose of the range of these discussions was to let brother Alliance men know how much they know about financial matters. But the following resolutions of Col. Keitt will show what claim Alliance candidates have to pose as Democratic candidates: KET'S ECHOES FROM OCALA. Whereas, the legislative demando of the Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Union represent the highest develor ment in the evolution of our Order and is the essence of'reform d,m .nded by the people in their effort to overcome pluto cratic domination and restore good government; and whereas, the only reasonable hope for relief to the farmers and laborers of our country resides in their uncompromising loyalty in sup port of these a emands ; therefore, be it resolved, 1st. That the Farmers' Alliance of South Carolina do hereby solemnly ledge its faith to the brethren of the Jnited States that our unqualified support shall be given to secure the enactment of these demands. 2d. For the purpose of faithfully car rying into effect the above resolution this body hereby notifies the Congress men from this State elected by the Alliance influence, that this Order ex pects them to oppose the repeal of the .herman Silver Act, unless the repeal ing bill embodies a substitute giving free and unlimited coinage of silver upon the basis of 16 to 1. And also they are expected to oppose the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on State banks. 3d. In order to further protect our demands and force them as an issue in the political campaigns the executive committee of this body is hereby in structed to submit the latest legis!a Live demands of the National Farmeis' Alliance and industrial Union to each candidate for a State office and request a written answer without ambiguity or equivocation upon the following ques tions: First. "Will you discuss the Alliance demands in the coming campaign, particularly those relating to the finance of the country, and defend them against the enemies of our Order?" Second. "Will you pledge loyalty to the demands of the National Far mers' Alliance and Industrial Union above loyalty to party caucus and vote ainst any and all candidates who dcine to commit themselves to this extent?" 4th. That the executive committees of the District Alliances and County Alliances are hereby instructed to carry into effect Resolution 3 with respect to all candidates- for office within their respective jurisdictions. 5th. That the executive committee of this Alliance shall have printed the above questions and answers thereto and have copies transmitted to every subordinate Alliance in the State and the District and County AllianceQ are advised and urged to adopt the same course. 10. That a copy of these resolutions be sent out by the secretary of each Alliance in the State. These resolutions were introduced by Joseph L. KeiLt, who is recognized as one of the leading Third Party men in the State. They were favorably re ported by the committee on resolutions, consisting of Keitt, chairman, T. 8. Browning, of Berkeley, W. D. Evans, of Marlboro, Representatives Mitchell, of Fairfield, and Galloway, of Fairfield. The only changes in thbe resolutions from thbe original copy is in Section 2, which is changed from "Unless the re pealing bill embodies a substitute for free and unlimited coinage of silver," so as to read after amended: "Unless the repealing bill embodies a substitute giving free and unlimited coinage of silver upon the basisof sixteen to one." As far as can b.e learned there was no opposition of conseuence to the re solutions. 1In the lan.gua'ge of the comt mittee~ there was "coansiderable routine business of no interes't to the public transaete'd." nhe elietion of otticers was uuade the, *.p'eial ~order for 10 o'clock. THE ALLIA NCI's TRtItTETt) DoNAjD soN. President Do<makli-o's frien ds could have asked for 1,o foart her satisfaction than the follo.wing resolution, which was unaniuousl1y adopted by a rising vote: Resol red by the South Carolina State Alliance in council assembled at Wal hallIa, S. C., That we appreciate the ser vices of Brother M. L. Donaldson as president oif this Alliance. WVe appreciate him for his wisdom in council, for his faithfulness to truth, for his energy in action and for his fidel-. ity to his bretbren. While we no longer have the benefit of his leadership we confidently expect valiant service from hinm in p,ressing forward to victory with the hosts of the Alliance, and we beg to assure him of our confidence in hinm as a brother battling for the final success of every true reform. That we reaffirm our entire confi deuce in his integrity and faithfulness in the performnce of every public trust reposed in him and wish for him a long and successiul career. SToKES ELECTED STATE LECTUSER. In the special elect ions J. Win.8Stokes was elected State lecturer, J. W. Bow den delegate to National Alliance and J. WN. JefTreys alternate. HOW TH E VoTE STOOD. The vote for pre.sident was as fol lowi': Evanus 32. Stokes 12, Donald son 4. The Allianee adjourned at 1 o'clock after a hard, thougbhbarmonious and continuous meeting, to meet nIext year at Aiken. A number of Alliancemen who have been attending the meeting at WValhalla stopped over in the city Saturday and were talking freely among themselves as to :he general result. One of them said that the meeting was entirely harmonious, and that t he election of the Hon. WN. D. Ev.ans as president was not intended as a "set down" on Governor Tillman at all, as his been freely reported. He said that Mr. Evans himself would support Gov ernor Tillman, just like all Alliance men and Reformers would do as long as he kept ir. touch with the movement. He said that there was no talk among the members about downing "boss rule." As long as Governor Tillman or any other leader stuca to the Alli ance demands he would be supported by the members of that order. "AND I SLAPPED HIM OVER." [rby's Story of His Attack Upon Shell He Denies the Hepowt That He At tempted or Even Desired to Use Bis Knife on the Congressman. LAURENS, S. C., July 25.-To the Editor of The State: I would not have bought it necessary to make any state uent in reference to the difficulty be ween Congressman Shell and mysel: it Col. Shaw's last week, but for the act that I see in to-day's paper that he ias misrepresented the facts: To begin with: I believe, as well as nany other people in Laurens, that Farley's article was either prepared al shell's house or read over to him b Farley at Shell's house, with his en lorsemeut, a few nights before its pub lication. The piece made reference t< 3hell's friendship for me and my in ,ratitude to him. I drove up to Shaw's imarting under the injuries that Shel 3ad done me. Shaw came out and told ie that Shell was in the parlor, our neeting at Shaw's being purely acci lental. I got out, went into the parlor md asked him if he had anything t< lo with the publication of Farley's iece. He excitedly replied: "Noth ug, except that it was read over to me )y Farley at my house." I said, "Dic rou endorse it?" aed be said, "I did, a )art of it." I naturally thought that ie endorsed that part which charged hat he had found me to be a frozer riper, and I slapped him over. W. F 'unningham caught me, and I made jo further effort to punish Shell, be !ause I saw he was very much fright med and made no effort to resent the Aow. As far as the knife is concerned, I did 3ave one in my hand, as I have babitu ily, a small penknife, which has onl. >ne blade-the large one-on accouni )f the small one having been broken ut. There was not the slightest in ention, provocation or reason for the ise of the knife during the affair, and s a matter of fact, it was not used oi attempted to be used. This is the truth of the whol matter Right or wrong, I did it. It may be mproper for members of the Unitec states Senate to resent insults, but we tre all human and liable to err. J. L. M. IRBY. REPRESENTATIVE SHELL'S STATE MENT. LAURENS, S. C., July 2G.-I did not ;ee Colonel Shaw's statement concern ing the altercation between Senatot frby and myself at his house on the 13th inst. until aft3r its appearance it your issue yesterday. Colonel Shaw widently misapprehended the situa ion if he supposed I had any connec tion with the intimation that he was in any manner guilty of arranging foi tay indignity or insult to me, much less to have me assassinated. Shaw knows me too well and would not in. ntionaliy charge me with making exaggerated statements, much less t< -harge innocent people with suc wicked intentions, and I don't inten hat any such opinion shall obtain ia the minds of the people if it can be ivoided; and whilst I repeat acd reit rate his entire innocence, I will "dare' to ask a generous public to keep in ind the extraordinary conduct of the junior senator of South Carolina in a ;entleman's parior and whilst in th zrasp of a disinterested party, with a Irawn "small pocket knife with bul ne small blade" in his hand, and le1 he public judge for themselves wha' was his intention. I have already made a statemen oncerning the difficulty between Sen tor Irby and myself at Colonel Shaw'! ad I will dismiss it by referring t< te following card and further state cent oft0. C. Cunningham. Very respectfully, G. W. ShELL. Having heretofore made a statemen in reference to the difficulty bet.weet Senator Irby and Captain Shell a Colonel Shaw's residence, 11 will fur ther add that I was at Colonel Shaw'i n the 13th inst. with my family whet Captain Shell arrived there. Wai resent in the parlor when Senato: rby entered it, heard what was sait between them and fully agree witi Laptain Shell's statement of the afl'air Colonel Irby had a long blade< knife in the same hand with which hi struck at Captain Shell, but not at thi instant of the striking. I told him no to cut Captain Shell with that knife which he would have done if he had no been prevented, and furthermore; added at the time if he had cut Cap tain Shell with the knife I would havy killed ham. Colonel Shaw was abeen it the time and did not see what oc urred, and when acquainted with thi aircumstances expressed deep regret L'olonel Shiaw is my personal frien( e is also Cap.tain Shell. 0. C.

[From the Boston Heraid.] The South appears to be standing the financial strain much better than the West, and Southern capitalists are much gratified at the record of that section. They hold that the distrust of the West aroused among investors will result greatiy to the advantage of the South, whose stability shows so well by contrast. A New York ne%-s naper recently contained the startling aeadline, "Twelve -lore Institutions go Down in the West and South." As eleven of these institutions proved to be in the West and only one in the South the Manufacturers' Becord of Baltimore found the statement sug gestive of buying two cigars for a quar ter-20 cents for one and 5 for the other.

If my house should burn to the ground, its value would be re turned to me, for I keep my house fully insured. But if fire never comes (and I hope it 1.ever will), the insurance company will not pay me a single cent, and the premiums I have paid from year to year will always be an expense -a wise expense, which I cheer fully incur, but, nevertheless, an erpense. MY LUFE PREMIUM IS AN IN VESTMENT. *In life assurance it is different. Every life policy which is kept in force must necessaiily mature sooner or later; for, although a building may never burn, .death is sure to come in time to every man. Hence, every premium which I pay to the Equitable Life Assurance Society on my policy is a payment on account of an in vest meid, and not in any sense an item of expense.
