The South Carolina Alliance seems about
to follow the example of ether State Alliances
?od go bodily \t?h> the Third Party. This is
v.-faat the order should do, if it accepts the
-political- 'flbctrines preached by its leaders.
As hotfeBt men they cannot call themselves
it?aflefrats, while professing the Third Party
creed.
ifany of Senator Irby 's--professed admirers
were "'miratiug mightily," as the negro said,
?ver the cool, dispassionate, deliberate nature
ef the Senator's reply to Farley's pbillipic :
but the judgment of Capt. J. H. Tillman, wno
seemed ta be the corner stone of I-rb v's defense
must chill- t-?eir enthusiasm. TilHmao says
"tebj "aas acted the "defcberate scoundrel."
Gov. Tillman is experimenting on convicts
to discover the intoxicating properties of Mon?
terey, says lae Cdknribix Journal. If the
'sopa-lar "bitters" prove to be more of a
beverage than a medicine, the convicts will
lave the unexpected privilege of getting
drunk ; if Monterey is very medicinal the
convicts may be made ill, but that is a matter
of small moment when the profits of the dis?
pensary is the main consideration.
IThe .drought in Europe has rained the hay
<e?qp, aaa hay is now setting for $30 to $40
$>er lon. Hay is being shipped from New
?ork, and the prospect is that a great quan?
tity will be shipped daring the next ten
months. The moral to be drawn from this
is, th at.-those farmers who ?ba ve been in the
-habit of baying western hay had better make
?heir own this year, fox hay is going to be
.worth money.
- Jost at present we are more interested ia
?the crop, prospects than in ?che blackguard*
sows.of the "refawm" leaders. In the crops
Ve bave a direct interest, for upon them the
prosperity of the country defends, and with
ifr^?ur "own well being; in these rows our
anticipations are realized, fer such greedi?
ness after o See and: the pickings therefrom

?CHveners from, the public carcass against each
-other.
The arrest ot the ex-barkeepers of Charles?
ton on the charge of selling . intoxicating
liquors is in perfect accord wit h tbe spirit of
the Dispensary Law, which is sumptuary and
tyrannical. This paper asea not sympathize
with violators of even an unjust '.aw.,' but
bow any decent and self-respecting man can
Bphofd the manner in which the attempt is
being made to enforce the Dispensary Law is
beyond os. Ifmenareto ce arrested, their
bouses invaded and their property seized, ail
on ?be oath of paid spies, the extent of whose
reward depends anon the number of arrests
made, then ve had better cease talking about
liberty &u? personal rigbys, even-handed
justice and trial by J>;ry.

TILLMAN FOR PRESIDENT.
Gov Tillman is mentioned as a possibh
Third Party candidate for President. W<
heartily second ibe suggestion, and believe h<
is eminen'?y fitted for a Third Party candi
da*;. This belief is based upon, the following
reasons :
L Thc sub-treasury U paternalistic in con
?option HAd"?*efc??; so <s the dispensary, ano
since Groaernor Tillman advocated and ha
succeeded iv. partiaily establishing the dispon
gary, be is qualified by experience to aiteaip

Third Party, and this demand beia^ base?
Upon thedesir&of iboincnwduala to lids .?.
less than cost, and ilr.o->, under the govern

could cot be satisfied, the tax payers bein?

Tillman is-the man of the momeo?, for be ca:

istic to Popularism, they may be hauled up
before the inquisition, on the affidavit of one
of his two dollar.a-day skulkers, and per?
petually enjoined from voting or otherwise
discharging the rights of crtsenship. In this
way Populism could be perpetuated, which
would "be all right, so long as it was all
right," to adopt a phrase from cur diversly
epitbetic Senator Irby.
4. Gov. Tillman once-said on the stump
that-we quote from memory-''there are
some people who think that the men who rode
with Lee and Jackson should be continued' in
office, but I am not-one of those." This would
be* the best sort of stuff to capture the bomb
proof Yankee patriots of the Populist h?rth
west.
There are other reasons^ of course, that
might be urged" in his behalf, but there is
no necessity to go further.
It is well koowa that Governor Till?

form, rough-hewn and full of all sort of
splinters as it was, two years ago, and in
that space the A-liiaoce leaTen has had time to

SOUTHESK COTTON MILLS.
Intelligent oortbern men who have inves?
tigated the cotton mill business in the South,
are at a loss to understand why Southern
capitalists hesitate to iuvest in the business.
It has been we. said that, if as matrera- stand
to-day, New England and the Sooth were
starting oot in the indutfry of cotton manu?
facturing, the Sooth would soon be so far in
the lead that New England would not be in
the race. New England has been in the busi?
ness for three quarters of a century and bas
grown rich from the profits, vet with the ad?
vantages of experience and abundant capital
on the ?rue of New England, the South, with
its comparatively few mills, has already
driven New England from the market on cer?
tain lines of goods. The industry in the
South is is its infancy, and has had to over?
come the obstacles of inexperience and ticiited
means, as well as the most persistent and
active competition of the New England mills,
whose theory and practice it is to crush out
competition. That the Southern mills have
lived and grown and prospered, as ?rule, is
? proof that this section has advantages that
faffor the in?ostry to so great a degree as to
I render the competition of the older manufac?
turers almost impotent.
The Graoiteville mill is an example of what
has been accomplished by well-managed
Southern mills. The last yearly report shows
that the company's earnings were $107,020.21.
A 10 per cent, dividend was declared on the .
$S00,G00 capital, and $42,000 set aside as re?
serve, to be expended, or as having been ex?
pended, chit fly for new machinery, a::d ?6,000
{br other improvements. The GraniievilSe
company owns the Venc?ase mill. The latter
has been built lately, at a total cost of $261,- I
500, every dollar of tJae money having been
earned by the parent mill. The. total surplus
of the mills March 31. 189$, was $684.034, or
J nearly $100,000 more than both mills cost,
s Other South Carolina mills have mace;
- much larger profits, we are informed, bat the
; figures are not now at hand3 and the above
example is sufficient.
During the year 1321-52 the South Caro
] lina mills consumed ?9,821,480 worth of cot?
ton, which, in finished material, was worth
$27,235,520. The difference in value between
the raw cotton and the ?uished material, re
?Msseuts the dividends on the capital invested
?nd the wages of the operatives ; all cf which
is added to the wealth of the Slate, for here?
tofore this sum has been sent to New England'
to pay dividends to mill owners and wages to
j operatives. Mr. W. C. Lovering, President
of Whittington mills, Tauninn, Mass, lakes
the most optimistic view, from a Southern
j Btand point, of the advantages ?he South
i offers lo the cotton manufacturing in du's* ry
j that we have seen. He spent several months
J in the South st?"3* ng tbs business, a::d
? subsequently y/rete a letter to the chairman
of the Labor Committee of the Massachusetts
legislature. Ts? letter was intended as
j a warning against . toe reduction of
I tba hours of labor in the New England fac
I tories from 58 to 54 hours per week. The let
! ter was reproduced in. the Jfanirfacturer'js
JUscord, as sj. warning io the South not to neg?
lect ihe advantages that natur*: had give? her
The following arj?extracts from the letter as
it appeared tn the Maiwfaclurcr & Record :
**Tbje cotton manufacturing industries cf
Massachusetts and New England are on the
eve of suffering from a serious and determined
competition that ia the near future Lids ikir
to be overwhelming. This competition is no
longer a myth not idie talk. Already North?
ern and English capitalists are prospecting
for the most desirable locations for the estab?
lishment of cotton m?h? in the Soothern States
and near the cotton fields. Beine obliged to
spend a few wee* ? in the South I have takeo
occasion to inform myself upon the subject of
cotton manufacturing in the Southern Stales,
and I confess that I am very gravely impressed
j with the fact that it wili not he many years
j before the Sforlhern spindles will be silenced
i and driven out by .Southern spindles.
"So well convinced am I of this that 1

'.'ro. v Reporter Thc Supreme Court iu
the Chester case practically rlecidc-d that the
Evans law was constitutional, and it is not
likely that the "learned'' Circuit Judge's
opinion will cause t5e higher court to reverse
its decision.
QfaSi?tiurg Enterprise: It is common opinion
that Judge Hudson has been marked for defeat,
should he be presented as a candidate for re?
election, and the opinion has been expressed
that therein lies the motive for a decision that
strikes down one o7 the pet schemes of the
governing element. While we concede that
there are but few men who are not subject
to the influence of fear, favor, and affection, it
?3 our opinion that these things would move
Judge J. IT. Hudson as little a's any mao it is
our privilege to know. He has an enviable
reputation as ah able, just and upright judge,
and as a man who under the-mest trying cir?
cumstances has ever had the courage to ex?
press and the ability to maintain, the convic?
tions of His niind, and no erie who knows the
man will doubt for one moment that his de?
cision against the Dispensary Act, is the
honest, sober judgment of an able jurist
and learned constitutional lawyer. But thc
question that concerns us most and it is one
that concerns every citizeo of the State is :
Doe3 Judge Hudson, by this decision, lay
himselFliable to be disciplined by the Legis?
lature when therelection of Judges again tran?
spires? Is the unspotted'ermine of the judi?
ciary to be dragged in the mud and mire of
politics?
Greenville Mountaineer : Judge Hudson, in
deciding against the dispensary law, has
doubtless sealed his doom as a j-udicral officer,
and will pay the penalty for such decision by
being relegated to the rear wt . the time for
electing circuit jud..es shalt arrive. He proves
by this act that his judgments are reached
by reasoning, and not from any personal or
political bias, and his course is all the more
significant when it is -known that the reform
newspapers are demanding his removal on
other grounds. We will Icok for a fresh
onslaught upon him, and it is not at all likely
that he will be given credit tor conscientious
motives and scrupulous regard for his oath of
office. As we have favored the dispensary
law, and still believe that the Supreme Court
will continue to sustain it, so we eau view the
conduct of Judge Hudson with- true impar?
tially, and admire him for the fearlessness
with which he discharges a public duty, al
waysunmiudful of the consequences to himself
as an individual. ?t would be an exhibition
of fairness and decency on the part of the Leg?
islature to re elect him next winter on account
of his efficiency and integrity as aa officer,
but in the.^-e times of extreme partisanship
and factional bitterness, such a result cannot j
be expected, and his career asa circuit judge
will likely terminate with his present term
of cilice. South C-roJina has never enjoyed
the services ot' a truer sen or abler j'irist
than Judge Hudson, albeit he has made
serious mistakes occasionally, as popular
opinion would seem to dictate.,
THE FIRST ARRESTS.
The Tyrants Iron Hee? Upen the
N-ec&s of Citizens of Charleston.
CHARLESTON, July 15.-Special to the
State-Tillman turned loose the dogs of
war early this morning and has raised
as nice a rumpus as has been seen
in Charleston for a good ninny gen?
erations. From new until the ides of
November, 1894, there will be lively times in
Charleston. The battle was begun at 7
o'clock this morniug aud has been raging,
with the thermoneter up to 100, with more or
j '.ess fierceness all day, and the end is not
yet.
The first victim of the dispensary law is a
vrry humble lillian citizen named Vinceut
JjJhico, who kept a posada in .Market street,
which was much frequented by hundreds of
Italian laborers who come here every j ear to
work in the phosphate mines. To fhese he
furnished chianti-, . macceroni spaghetti, ver
\ iuiceili, parmesan cheete and other deliea
1 tassen from his native country.
lt was shortly after 7 o'clock in the morn?
ing when six huge and ungainh countrymen,
j cf the one gailus and woothat stripe which
.Governor Tillman affects, with huge revolv?
ers strapped around tlieir waists, appeared ii;
front ol Ctiico's possada.
Their names (which will go down into
South Carolina's history as prominent figures
in this the strangest war ever started in the
bellicose little PalmettoSiate) areTheodore G.
Gaillard, wno is the chief of Tillman's liquor
constabulary, J. C Elliott, William Swan,
W. P. Jolly, J. M. Heap and Mayne Pepper.
The iast zanied is a city man ; the others
are from di??'eient parts of the State.
They wete armed with a warrant for Chico's
arrest issued by a trial justice, and a paper
called ac injunction issued by Circuit Judge
Iziar, which latter gives them the power to j
seise and confiscate everything on vhepremiscs
which they proceeded to du. Wagons weie
brought up and loaded with Chico's deh
! caiassen.
j The constables proceeded to search the j
! {>ren:??.e,3, ano eveo enicrcd the oedroota of
j Chico's wife, who was sick in bed in their '
j search for contraband goods. In reply to the I
remonatrarce of C-ico agninst thia proceed- !
ing, they said, with oaths, that they'wouid j
take everything iu the house except his wife
aod children. The goods were hurried off to
the sheriff 3 office ; nut iubstquentlj, under
the advice, it is thought, of ths Assistant At?
torney General of the State, who ison the
scene directing the raid?, a uutnoer cf boxes
of maccaront and spaghrui were returned to
the house of which the raiders still had posses?
sion.
In the meantime, crowds or citizens had
gathered around the scene of hostilities, and
things began to lock squally for the raiders.
The air WAS filied v\ith denunciations, and
threats of lynching were heard on all sides.
A lieutenant and squad of policeman soon
came up. Gaillard, the chief of the raiders,
ordered the .lieutenant in a peremptory man?
ner, to e'ear the mob. The police were evi
^ dentiy in sympathy with the crowd, and the
j lieutenant replied very tartly that he knew
his business ?md would conduct it in his owe
way.
j iu a few moments several photographers ar
? rived on thesceue with their kodaks,and wi re
J nt once vociferously urged to photograph the
I Spies They succeeded iu taking several snap
j shots of tbe constabulary, and th;-se will be*
I distributed broadcast through the city in a
j few hours
j in the meantime, Chico had been taken to
j tbs- trial jus-ice's office, where he was followed
by a dozen prominent business men, who
I oifrred bail at any amount. A preliminary
j hearing w;:3 entered upon and Chico was
bailed. Bis goods are stirl in possession of
j the sheriff and his premises in custody of the
! constabulary.
j This ts oniy the first of some forty or fifty
j cases which have been prepared '.o Le executed
i ;n Charleston. The constabulary claim thai
i under the law they can. upon inlormation and
! bein-: enter .tny promises, and upon finding a
I bottle cf whisket caa confiscate ??ie contents
of the en tin: establish taunt, without au) fur
j ll.er process? of law
j Tbs excitement and indignation here is
intense and pervades all cities of ti.-.: coui
i inanity.
Th- sver.e in the trmt jnsiices office during i
; the examination WA* dramatic. Angry n>-n
j rushed up lo gel a icol; .A the 8p;e?, and Icfi
denouncing thsiu and breathing threats
' vengeance. During the examination, Pepper,
! one of th:- constables, lugged out his :<-v<..v- r j
[ and threatened to snoot the defendant, who

Tbc Walter A. Wood ??direr
Is not what you wani. This is the lightest draft, lightest weight and mos? dura?
ble mower mitde, beside being the ONLY STPJEL MACHINE on the market.
Be not deceived by talk. This is a cheap arr?ele and is in many cases
the only stock in trade cf 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 buy a ?-rst class machine. Forty years
on the market, and the first mower ever bailt.
