accounting for individual opinions
and your opinion in this matter, I an
grad tu fceheve, is hot. and as I wil
show'ought not to be, the opinion o
intelligent alliance men generally.
In the first place yon start ont 01
s Use premises and discover the fae
yon that axe ignorant on the first prin
ciples of the alliance, in that you mi:

Attempt todiscriu. .ate or distinga isl
the one from the other, and just sucl
confusion of terms and misleading
statements, as yon indulge in, a
to the purposes, principles and a iud
of the alliance, ie doing more barra t<
the order, in the honest attempt!
that are being made; through it to bet
ter the condition of the farmer, than
perhaps, anything else. Whether in
teutroualor not, such strenuous et
Jbrts on the pert of newspapers- tc
direct and control the alliance in poli
tics make them, though profess?e
friends, the worst enemies the farme3
has
Too say the o*?y thing the alli
asee ie interested in is my en dorse
went of Mr. Cleveland. Do yoa
suppose yon can thus lead alliance
men who read^our paper to believe
that it is of no interest tc- t&ern whee
.he President of the United States is
told that the Resident of the South
Carolina Farmers' alliance is not ?t tc
hold "office ? Most of the members
of the alliance are 2i years old and
will be apt to make up their own minds
as to that.
Sow what about your apparent
ignorance of the first principien o?
the alliance t If you will turn to
page'S of the ritual yon will find
that when a candidate is presented
fot mern be rsl lip the president repeats
these words " to bira: ' 'Before you
proceed it will be necessary that you
tak? on yourself a solemn obligation,
which, 1 assure you, will not conflict
with the freedom of your political or
religions views. . With this assurance
are you willing to proceed V1 In
the face iof these words, with
which every member is familiar, you
presume upon the ignorance or poli?
tical prejudice which you evidently
. suppose to exist in the alliance in un?
dertaking to arraign me for exercising
roy freedom, se a citizen, in politics
Suppose, Mr. Cleveland- has not en?
dorsed theOcala platform Did anyone
of the other candidates for the Presi?
dency do so, except Weaver I Three
f??mnt delegates to Chicago voted for
Ilill. Has l?e ever given the remotest
intimation that he favored the Ocala
platform ? If not, why not arraign
Governor Tillman, Senator Irby and
B. F. Perry for voting for a man so
"at variance viii* alliance demands f '
Thirteen of ont delegates to Chicago
voted for Boise. Have you .ever
heard that bc favored a single
plank in the Ocala platform? lt not,
why have you not cited these
thirteen men to trial for not sup?
porting the candidate who was
m accord with the Ocala demands,
namely, Weaver? If you think the
words of the ritual which I have
footed are of no force or effect, and
thai the alliance linds men's con?
sciences, why don't you come out
squaiely and say so and admit that
jon think the alliance ought no lon?
ger stand aa the only pore aud una
dui termed farmers organization for
their distinctive protection and bene
fit-become a political party-a free
pmnibus ?>r the transportation of
demagogues and political dead beats
into office ?
In your effort to play upon the
supposed prejudices and credulity of
the people you lay great stress on
certain instructions-of the May con?
vention and would make-believe that
everybody kuew just how every dele?
gate wo?W act and vote when they
got to Chicago. It was found, how?
ever, that the delegation worked and
voted for three different candidates
and yet J, who was not a delegate
and could no* vote, and -was not
instructed tn any way, you hold up to
gaze, and have the people believe !
was the only man who violated trusts 1
Sjud deceived the people.
With such facts before them, is it
supposed that tbe alliance or the peo
pJe^vill fail to see the organized poli?
tical persecution that is now being
directed against me ?
1 have, from the beginning.believed
ed t{?t Mr. Cleveland stood nearer
to our vkiws Mian any other demo?
cratic candidate mentioned for the
presidency, and I gv;e the rearons
lor that belief to the public as early as
18?M, a copy of which 1 enclose awl
trust that you, having so severely j
criticised me, will republish as a mat?
ter of justice. I have 110 apology to
make to you br anybody else for my
course in politics or in ti*e alliance,
but when the farmers' alliance is
fogged io and its principles invaded [
and perverted for politicalpurpose il i
feel that I would be recreant to the
trusts reposed in me as its heat! if I j
failed to defend t&oae principles, j
? havettied wherever i have gone,*
in the st?*e to impress al&aoi&e toen i
with the fundamental doctrine of the j?
a-H?anee, that it is ?on owtisau in f
politics and that its membership ts
entirely free, so far as the alliance jj
i? concerned, in political or religious j
views \ have great respect for my ?
brethren who have honest convictions j
and the courage of those convictions ?
iii politics, whether they agree r?ith
my "views, or not. but cannot say as-j
much for those who denounce alli j
ance men as holding "with those Wail !
street gold kings" when they them- ?
selves bc^et of voting the same party
ticket. If yon ask who is meant, 1 ?
geply, f-thctt s^rt the mar?." Von j
denounce alliance men who believe j
jin the people's varty, wbjch "those j
Wall street gold kings/' sud then
with another ft p, of your political
wings you waru with a long crow

eratic party, whom you boast <

Yo? even- sought for and di
lighted in the privilege of bea
ing upon your own person th
electoral voie of South Carolina t
Washington to be counted for a ma
"whose success" you siy "mean

Is this* not a fair specimen of whs
yon call "idiotic inconsistency ?
Methuselah was the oldes: man an
Moses was the meekest man, then
fore David slew Goliah, is about th
style of logic that you employ whe
dealing with the subject of the all

Allow me to suggest that ther

Cards From Rev Mr. Watsoi
and Senator W. D. Evans.
E??kor Register i In reporting m
speech of the 24th- instant at Florence
your reporter has gi ceo his conclusion
for my statements. I did net inentioi
the name of Senator Evans, nor did
say "my Senator." After calling th
attention of the audience to the fact tba
there had recently beea a conference "a
Colombia, ostensibly considering rail
road cases, I said a Senator had inform
ed me t&at the conference discussed th
advisability of calling an extra sessioi
of the Legislature to amend the dispeo
sary bill so as to take away the restric
dons favorable to prohibitionists node
tho freehold clause, and put it in th
power of the govern meat to establtsl
dispensaries at any place. With equa
reason your reporter might have appliet
my remarks to any Senator.
Later, I told your reporter that m^
informant bad given me full liberty ti
to use my information without his name
which I ?id without breach of coofi
dence. Respectfully,
E 0. WATSON.
Bennetts ville, S. C., May 29, '93.
Editor Register: ls a report of Mr
E. 0. Watson's speech at Florenee ot
the 24th ins?aut, your reporter sayt
that he .{Mr. Watso?) stated that I hac
informed him that the conference hele
io Columbia a ?hort time ago was
"ostensibly for the purpose of abrogat?
ing the charters of tbe railroads, but ii
fact for the purpose ef discussing thi
advisability of calling an extra sesssion
of the Legislature to take away from the
freeholders of each county the right ol
saying whether or not they would have
dispensaries, and give the Governor the
right to put as many as he pleased in
each county in tbs State." Mr. Wat?
son did not get s?ch information from
me. I would have taken cotice of this
matter sooner, but I ha7e been ?ery
busy on the plantation and did not send
to the postof?be until Saturday evening,
and consequently did not seo The
Register until that time.

Whiskey by Express.
Columbia Cor News and Courier; It
is setui-ofSeially announced that the
Southern Express Company after the
Ut of July will accept packages con?
taining liquor for delivery in this State,
in all cases where the consignment is
shipped outside cf tbe State, aud cornes
auder the class of i?tsr-S:&;* freist.
It ?3 staled that the question has been
referred to the counsel of thc Southern
and other express companies, and that
they have rendered au opinion to the ef?
fect that all shipments of liquor above
half a pint was *'a legitimate article of
merchandise.*1* The State- itself they
hold legitimizes the outness and bas
gone iuto it for revenue, and that par?
ties outside of the Stata cannot, be
denied thc right of doing business in
the.State. It is stated tha; the express
companies expect to handle tue whiskey
that may be offered them t opeu and
above board,*' and packages will be
taken io opeo demijohns or jag*. At
this rate it is probable that one of the
nrst suits to test tbe constitutionality of
the law will be through the express
companies. As has already been inti?
mated in this correspondence, some of
tba railroad authorities have already
decided to haodle all freights offered
them, without inquiring as to the coo
tents. The first suits under whi h it is
said that the dispensary law will be
made to crumble will be those brought
by non-resident? in the Federal Courts.
Interesting times are promised, and
the State will have to devise ways and
means to carry on its prolonged legal
battle, as the last legal contingent
/und is ?aid to be a thing of (he some?
what distant past.
Common Sense Health Talk.
Bad drinking water is a source of
siekuess and the cause of unnumbered
deaths. You may reject this as false
but it remains as true.
The surest way to disease and death
is by the way of foul air and poisoned
water.
No man dies of cholera unless he
drinks "tu <>r inhales the germs that im?
plant the disease. If a man could live
without eating and drinking he could
spend weeks io the worst ward of a
cholera in fcc-ed hospital and never lake
the awful disease.
Cholera ts coaling to this country So j
a 1 the Northern physicians of emineace
say-so all the sanitary experts believe.
Qiaranttue cannot keep it. out. it can j
retard its Riming no doubt, but it. can
not keep the feil destroyer away.

This is timely. Let the authorities
study this. Clean streets. Very good.
But what about clean back lots ? Are
all the back lots clean.
Put your lot in order. Clean up,

water you swallow. Even boil the
water you wash with. Be very careful

Favors an Income Tax.
President Cleveland has expressed
himself as being in favor-of an income
tax, and thc declaration is meeting with
general approval from Democratic Con?
gressmen now in Washington. Mr.
Catchings, of Mississippi, a leading
Democrat on the committee cn rules in
the last Congress, has this to say io
reply to an injury as to his standing on
the subject : "Everything seems to
indicate the passage by the next Con?
gress of a bill imposing an income tax
and the repeal ef the tax on State
banks-. Both measures will command
strong support among Southern mem?
bers. We need a larger circulatiug
medium all over the country, but par?
ticularly in the South, and as to an in?
come tax that is one of the fairest
methods of raising revenue.*'
Congressman Thomas L. Johnson, of
the Cleveland, 0. district, is enthusias?
tic in favor of the President's proposi?
tion. When asked regarding the Presi?
dent's polioy he said : "This programme
indicates that the repeal of the Sherman
law is to be brought about by a conces?
sion to the people who want more
money.
"To meet the deficit in our revere:
two plans are generally proposed. O^e
reimposing the tax on sugar, eoffee and
tea; the other an income tax. We
should rejoice that the administration
fovors the latter. As between the pro?
position of additional taxes drawn from
the poorer people who pay 90 per cent,
of our customs taxes a plan that will
levy a tax exclusively on the rich, which
the income tax will certainly do, there
eau be but one answer. Let the peo?
ple who reap the greatest benefit from
the government be charged with the
largest part of the expense The col?
lection of ao incooae tax is fraught with
many difficulties, ft certainly puts a
premium on fraud, but is this not true
of tariff taxes and of taxes of personal
property ?"
. Leading Democrats here, replying to
Republican criticism about the propo?
sition to settle the money question be?
fore that of the tariff, say that thc policy
is eminently wise. Mr. McMillan, of
Tennessee, has expressed this sentiment
in a very forcible and comprehensive j
way. "The tariff fight has been won,"
he said. "The position of the Demo?
cratic party on the tariff is well under?
stood, and the country by an over?
whelming majority has voted that we
shall revise the tariff in the interest of
the people. We shall do that promptly
and according to the promises. But
meanwhile the money problem is press?
ing and must be met, and there are
divisions of opinion in the party as to
how the question should be settled.
We ma<t get together, and the sooner
the better. The question cannot be
postponed^ Nothing is more necessary,
therefore, than this early call to arms
in the interest pf party harmony. All
sorts of opinions wili be developed and
out of this exchange of views will spring
a compromiso that will surely take
with the party aud tho people, and
enable os to pass OD easily and con?
fidently opt only to the tariff, but to
the other Questions awaiting Solution/* ?

Do you wish a mower, and if so, do you wanta horse killer? If you ,<?o
The Walter A. Wood Mower
Ts Dot what YOU want. This is the lightest draft, lightest weight and most dora?
ble mower made, beside being the ONLY STEEL MACHINE on the market.
Be not deceived by talk. This is a cheap article and is in many eases
the only stock in trade of some concerns. Don't waste your money
on a horse-killing mower, and one that requires a machine shop behind
it, when the same money will boy a first class machine. Forty years
on the market, and the fir*t mower ever built.
