BEN TERRELL S VISIT.
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-
