The announcoment that Ben Terrell, of Texan, the Alliance leader, will shortly come to South Carolina on a lecturing tour has given rise to much speculation as to the object of his visit. It is alleged that he will come hero for the purpose of rehabilitating the Alliance which has been steadily losing strength for the last year or so to the great concern of the lead ers. There is a strong feeling, however, that this is only the ostensible reason. Terrell is an avowed Third-partyite, or Pop ulist, and it is thought by many that his real object is to more thoroughly organise that party in this State. Significance is given this idea by the fact that it is current not only among Stralghtouts, but among Al- liancemen. Wo have heard prominent members of the or der hint at this os the object of the Texan's visit. If this be the case the work will probably be done secretly under the cover of the Alliance and it is not difficult for us to believe that this is what Terrell is up to. There is little or no difference between the Alliance doctrines and the Populist plat form and a man can easily slip from one to the other without realising that he has made any change of base whatever. We shall be very glad if Ter rell will succeed, in organizing the Third party in South Caro lina. It will be the boat thing possible for the Democracy of tfmi State. We shall then know who are our enemies and we will form our {flans of battle ac cordingly. There are many people in South Carolina who are at heart Populists but are masquerading as Democrat They should have left the party long ago and Democracy can not too soon be rid of them. We hooe that Terrell will pursuade them to show their true colors, for an open foe is preferable to a covert one. We have nothing to say against these men going into the Third party; it is their priv ilego as free American citizens to do as tney please and if they wish to leave Democracy it Is not only their right but their duty to do so. The only thing we ask is that they fly their true colors, so that we may know “where they are at.” When once the lines are strictly- drawn, all true Democrats will rally to the standard of the par ty, which is still good enough for thousands upon thousands of loyal South Carolinians. HIGHER TAXES NEXT YEAR The County Commissioners met yesterday and fixed their estimate for the tax necessary for county ordinary expenses for next year. They find it ad visable to ask the Legislature fora levy of mills and, as this does not include the levy of i mill for the jail debt which will be paid up when this year's taxes are collected, the increase in the tax wanted for next year exceods the present rate by U mills. It is stated that this in crease in the estimate is due mainly to the probable loss of revenue to the county on ac count of the new liquor law and somewhat to the fact that the expenses for the better working of the public roads and for the Maintaining of the poor house (because of the increased num her of inmates) will be larger. The State levy is higher this year than last and will proba bly be still higher next year; so with the county levy raised on account of the new liquor law we will be forced to believe that Tillman has completely forgot ten that he ever promised to re- QENERAL NEWS. Ilsmi of Intorotl From AHOvor Th« WorlS. Nine men were killed in a rail road wreck in Texas on Tues day of last week. Fiends wrecked a train in Mississippi on Thursday and three persons were killed and eight injured.
