Toryism Io its current issue, the Cotton Plant, Alliance-Populist organ, declaims ?8 follows: V**Ajlfctfe over cue hundred years ago. a whee the colonies were fighting for the liberty of a free people in ? rebellion against "taxation" without representa? tion" and the^csnnicai rale of Eng land, there ?ere those among the "best" people of the province of Caro who were stub boru royalists until the last and fought to rivet the collar of slavery more Sr m ly about their necks and perpetuate the rule of hereditary 'masters "ID the fight of today, which is for industrial liberty and agatust the pay? ing of golden tribute to England's power, we see the same body of Tories and Royalists banded together aud go? ing to any length ra their bister fight against the welfare of their country and prosperity and industrial independ? ence of their fellow citizens. ( ..This spirit of Toryism fe evidenced more to the pu o lie eye by the lines on which certain newspapers in this State are conducted than in any other way &and Courier and The State, the country weeklies that are blindly following their lead, furnish a striking illustration s of this truth Those papers have never yet entered thc field of honest investigation to ascer? tain the true condition of our people or the justice of measures proposed for their betterment. They Lave never yet given a column to the honest dis? cussion of economic questions, backing their position by well ascertained facts, where they have give hundreds to the discussion of personalities that should be humiliating to the writer. They care nothing for the welfare of the country, holding it in a very subordinate position to partisan success. In fact they are filling completely the part of paid attorneys to corporate interests and die money monopolists." The charge that the anti-Populist pre? M South Carolina have never entered the Beld of honest investigation to ascertain the true condition of our people or the justice of measures pro? posed for their benefit," nor "given a column to the honest discussion of economic questions,*' is so self-evidently unrrne that it requires no disproof. It is peculiarly false as to The State, which bas given hundreds of columns to economic discussion and bas yet failed to answer the challenge of any decent paper for controversy upon financial matters These papers know as much of the condition of our people as the \ Cotton Plant, and they know infinitely better what is for their advantage But these charges are common, ev ery-day slanders, and we do not quote the Cotton Plant for the mere purpose of answering them What excities our interest is thc cool assertion of the identity of the Tories of the Revolution with the anti-T?fmstt, anti-Oca?a Demo? crats of today. If there ever was a canse before 1861, iirwhicb those whom thc Cotton Plant sneeringly refers to as the "best people" were united, it was the cause of independence in the Revolution Almost every leader of note was an aristocrat The Rur edges, Pmekoeys Marions, S um te rs. Lau Tenses, Moultrie*, were of the cavalier stock on the coast, as the Hamptons. Taylors, Woodwards and others were to the interior, and they were first in the fight for liberty. They defied King George as their descendants defy King Tillman. Thc Cotton Plant should study his? tory It will find that the localities which were the hot-beds of Toryism daring the Revolution became the hot? beds of Greenbackism io 2880 and of Tillmahism in 1890. It will find, also, upon consulting William Gilmore Simms' history of the State, that the element which, in the middle and up? country, became Tory during Revolu? tion was the element which, ten years before, constituted, the horse thief and outlaw element ; while the Regulators of 1765, who fought and whipped them, became toe Revolutionists of 1776. The descendants of the men who wanted a master in 1776 have found one te suit them in 1893 Those who rebel against a despot now have it in their blood to resist tyranny. It is a very reckless and unpopular thing, we know, to say a word io these <* timm for the "best people" of any age, bat The State is willing to bear what? ever odium may attach to & vindication of South Carolina' 8 patriots, past and present.-Thc Sute. Under Kalb's Leadership. BIRMUIGHAM, ALA, October 22 - There appears to be no chance now for Alabama to be spared a fierce political campaign during the next twelve months. The populiste or "Kolb men," as they are called io this State, have undoubt? edly made inroads on the ranks of the organised Democracy. The populists in Alabama call themselves "Jeffersonian Democrats" and disclaim that they are Populists. They thiok that the sturdy farmers of Alabama cannot be persuad? ed to forsake the Democratic party and so they claim that theirs is the true Democratic party and that the "organ? ised" are the nabobs of the party and oppress the farmers and workingmen. Reuben Kolb is the leader aud Nestor of the Jeffersonians, and to bim che followers of the faith look ap as the children of Israeli did to Moses. Four years ago Kolb offered for the Gover? norship of Alabama at the hands of the Democratic party He was defeated io the convention by the present Gover? nor, Thomas G. Jooes. Kolb was by far the most popular of the five candidates for the honor, and hence they combined against him, thereby nominatiog Jooes by some forty major? ity. Kolb elaimed that great injustice was done him. and that he was being perse coted by . the politicians because he was the farmers' aud workmen's friend. He worked on the sympathies of the farmer? during the next two years, and got most of them to rally around his standard when in 1892 he again offered for the Governorship, this time as a Jeffersonian Democrat. He ran before the people against Joses, and after the hottest political contest ever known in Alabean Jones was declared elected. Kolb promptly claimed that be had been robbed at the polls, and says that he knows positively that be received 40,000 white majority in that election During this campaign the Jeffersonian Democracy was organized and became a power. The business men of the State have offered to mach opposition recently to there being another campaign in this State daring the next year that strong efforts have beeo made to reconcile the ..organized'* and the .'Jeffersonians " ? large majority of the latter party, it seems, voted for Weaver for Presi? dent Recently the Jeffersonians' executive committee tierit a communication io the exeutive committee of the organized Democracy containing in brief this proposition, to-wit. that they would come back into the Democratic fold provided they would be taken back in a body, each member to be honorably re? ceived as though he had never erred nor strayed, regardless of the fact whether he voted for Weaver or for Clevelaud. This was prour.ptly declined by the* I executive committee of the organized j Democracy in session at Montgomery a few days ago, their reply beiug that they iacked authority to deal with tbe Jeffersonian Democracy in an organized capacity ; that thc position assumed was not one of friendliness and their plau of consolidation would produce - bitterer strife in the party lines The reply concludes as follows : 'This commiittee, recognizing that all who voted for Clevelaud and Stevenson in 1892 are Democrat?, and entitled to ail privileges of members of the party, is willing to invite, ami docs invite, every man who was a con? sistent Democrat aud supporter of De mocratic principles prior to the election of 1892, but who voted against the nominees of the Democratic party iu the November election, to renew his allegi? ance to the party, and contribute by his vote and iufiueuce to the support of the nominees of the organized Democracy of this State. But this committee cau not treat with you or accept a proposi? tion f om your committee iu its organized capacity, the effeet of which would not only lead to a more bitter and acri? monious contest and perpetuate thc unfortunate condition of affairs produced by designing leaders and misguided followers, but would virtually he a practical surrender of the trust imposed upon us as the representatives of the Democracy of Alabama, and the I abandonment of the principles and the time bouored customs of the party." Many good Democrats on both sides were anxious that this combination should go through, as it is an easy mat? ter to out vote the Republicans in this State, and consolidation meant an easy victory and no State campaign Many censure the executive committee for not receiving the fallen brothers, but the majority of thc *'organized" heartily endorse the committee's action. Kolb is already in the field, and is fighting hard. He says be will be Governor next election, and they shall not count him out Hs says he bas the majority of the Probate Judges in the State on his side this time, and he will see that he gets justice. His opponents arc just as confident and just as determined and the fight will be a hot one ?s Alabama will be the first State to hold an election, it is understood I hat the Republicans, the Jeffersonian Democrats, and every other creed and party will combine against the Democrats, asa precedent to thc other States.-Washington Post. Born on a Train. CHARLESTON, S. C. October 25. ?Gray Buffalo Robe, an Indian squaw, connected with Pawnee Bill's historic wild west show, gave birth to a papoose this morning on the train The child was named Carolina in honor of Miss May Lillie. Pawnee Bill's wife, and the state of her birth. The mother rode in a race ten hours after thc child was born The mother is Telling Star's wife and a daughter of Sitting Bull. Three turbine water wheels, costing $?00.000, have been built in Philadel? phia for the purpose of utilizing Niagara falls for industrial purposes Judge CulbersoD, who was one of thc strongest opponents of the repeal bill in thc House and who was chair? man of the eil ver caucus of that body, has just returned to Washington from Texas, and reports that the people of that State are with Senator Mills and the Administration for repeal, while Sen? ator Hansbrough has sent word from North Dakota that the people of his State demand repeal, and admits that he made a mistake in opposing it. Thc Comptroller-General has decided, as a matter of equity, to recommend to the Legislature to have refunded to the whiskey meu one-half of the money, which they were required by County j Treasurers to pay for the County and State license for the whole year. By the dispensary law their places of busi ness were closed on the first of July All the dealers in Anderson were re? quired to pay the amount charged for the year, and under this recommenda? tion will be entitled to a refund of $50 each. The published reports of sales of tobacco in Darlington last week show that one farmer sold 950 pounds for $308 ; that the net average on another lot was $56 per hundred pounds; and that a number of lots were sold at prices ranging from 25 cents to 65 cents per pound. These rates, it is further reported, "are not fancy prices giv_n at a break, or for a special occasion," but indicate the market for regular sales, which amount? ed to nearly 35,000 pouuds. for five days last week. The Darlington farmers have established the new crop in their county, and find it profitable. Other farmers in thc State might do well to follow their lead, and see if they cannot engage in better business tbau growing cheap cottou for fun or for the benefit of the world at large. News and Courier. It is much too early to be forecast? ing the results of thc campaign next summer, or to predict the outcome of fhe inevitable struggle between Butler and Tillman for the United States Sen? ate, but we venture to assert that the prevalent fad of a third candidate will never amount to anything, if Butler and Tiiltnhn live to cross swords with each other so to speak. Every member of the Legislature will be aligned during the campaign, and there will be very few candidates for legislative honors who will advocate a third candidate before the people It will be either Butler or Tillman with nearly all of them, and Edgefieid will maintain its monopoly of the race for Governor. Why not turn I the public interest as it did last year in over thc campaign exclusively to Edge field, and have all ihe campaig meet? ings restricted to it? territoiy, with the understanding that, whoever gets Edge field will walk off with the prize? (t would save a lot of ttouble for the bal? ance of the State-Greenville Moun- | taineer. Tbe Soja Bean. After two years' careful altenti to tbe growth and feeding value the soja bean, we have come to 1 conclusion that it will prove a gn acquisition tu the Southern farm In addition to our personal expe euee, we have the testimony of Pr Massey, of the North Oaroli Experiment station, than whom tlx is no better authority on such subjei in the South. I lia ve fed an aver? of twelve head of cattle and six hon upon soja heans from the 15th of Ji up to thc present time and maintain them :ti good condition The stall with their half grown pods, bei run through a fodder cutter It has several advantages over a other of the legumes, including t cowpea. for the South, subject as ti section ?is to great heat and prolong droughts In the first place, it w stand a drought belter than any pla I have ever seen In fact, a droug tiiat will destroy a corn and cowp crop, does not in the least appear chock ils luxuriant growth or I settling of its root. In the sec?? place, the weight of the crop p acre is at least sixty per cont great than cowpeas. In the third plac the cost of harvesting, when tais tor the grain, is almost nothing compared with the cowpea, which v all know cost* one half their value gather In comparing this plant wi the cowpea, we must remember th the soja bean also belongs to tl legume family, and is a go< icnovalor of the ?oil It will gio as well upon poor laud as any of tl pea family ; and on ordinarily got soils, or on poor land with a litt phosphate, will produce more ai lieber green food than any plant know of. I have, for the two past season sten it cut up and pul into the si with corn, and it turin out a mo excellent quality of ensilage. Pr fessor George?b?, of f.he Kaus: Experiment station, wh_> has bec testing it for several years, says tli grain, when ground, is the richei vegetable food .known, being a richi food even than cotton seed mea!, au when first beginning to feed sloe with it, too much should not be gi vet The soja beau may be planted an time from the 1st of May to the lot of J une, either between the hills i corn, dropping five or six beaus in th hill, or what is better, alone, as th soja bean is a gross feeder, and i case of a drought, will take awa much of the moisture of the soii froi the corn. If planted alone, the rows may b three feet apart and five or six bean dropped iu the drill, fifteen t eighteen inches apart. The plant stand erect like cotton and grows t a height of from three to riv?' feel Being of a bushy growth, and haviu< no vine, it does not interfere with th cultivation of the corn as cowpeas dc If raised for hay, it should be cu when the blooms first begin to mak their appearance, and cured as yo would clover hay, and in this eas should be sown more thickly tba stated above, say one bean every tw inches in the drill, lt may be use? as green food for horses, cattle an< hogs, which eat it greedily at au time from the first appearance of th flowers until frost. When raised for the grain it shouI< be allowed to stand until the leave all drop, which they will do at frost and the p uls become perfectly dry The stalks should then be cut nea the ground, and this is better done 01 a cloudy day, so that none may b< lost from shattering. They shouh then be hauled to the barn, or som? place where you can have a tigh floor, where they may be easilj threshed by taking each stalk by tin butt aud striking them on the floor The beaus fly out leaving the pod: adhering to the stalk, with no ci -an ing of the grain to be done It is a beautiful grain, mucli resembling in shape the English pea; and if any of you should grow them, you would likely bc tempted lo try some of them for dinner, but you would not be likely to hanker after a second mess, as they are too rich and oily to suit the palate of most people. While I may seem to be rather posi? tive in my statements in regard to the value of this crop, yet I feel justified in saying all I have, and more, too, as I have fed and put in the silo thirty acres of this beau the past season, and am deeply impressed with its great value to the South.-York ville En quiter. - II- mmm - Tarheel Boys and Girls. We find the following malicious slan? der in the Edgefieid Farmer, a Sou'h Carolina newspaper and eopy it simply to show the young ladies and gents of this part of .* tar heel dom" how grossly they have been misrepresented ; "When a timid young Tarheel wishes to express himself to his girl he takes a piece of fat pine, trims it in thc shape of a capital I. and passes it to his girl. That means I pine for thee. If abe rejects him she strikes a match and sets the splinter on fire. This means I make light of your pining If she li' ;s him she bauds him a lightwood knot, which means pine not. When the boy "oes to leave he gently puts his arm around the girl, kisses her, and puts some soft pitch on the end of her uose, which mean ta(r) ta(r) till we meet again."-Wilmington Messenger. - ?-mum*- -<B^ A Kaunas editor announces sarcasti cally that he wants to buy a bag of flour, a pair of shoes and a hat. and is ready to receive the lowest bids for satne He say that's the way thc merchants do him when they want $2 worth of job printing Thc cheap money < xperiment has has a fair trial in the Argentine Republic. A year ago that country had a larger per capita circulation than any other country in the world, but the circula? tion would not circulate, and the minister of finance, in a statement to thc Argentine Congress, announced that "provision will be made in the budget of ordinary expenditure for burning annually currency to thc amount of no les* than six millions, which may be increased to twelve millions. It is also proposed to destroy b - fire one hundred and fifty millions of o\ per cent bonds no? in possession of the Government " Titi.* is a new way of "cornering the currency," but it promises to be quite successful The idea of burning up from six to twelve million dollars a year is enough to make the cold chills run down the backs of the inflationists in the United States. -News and Courier The State's Tax Returns, Near Four Millions Increase in Assess? ment. Special to ihe News and Courier. COLUMBIA, October 2(5.-The re? turns have all been received at the Comptroller General's office, aud the annual report will soon be issued. The authorities are very well satisfied with the report, which wiil show the total assessed valu*; of all property io the State to be $170.767,955 This is considered to be very good when it is remembered that there has been a re? duction of ?1,700,000 iu the railroad assessment, and the bank returns have been put on "rock bottom.'' Last tear's assessment was $1(58,871 227, and this included the high bauk assessments which were subsequently abated by the Comptroller General. FOUR MILLIONS INCREASE. It is said that the returns for the present fiscal year really show an io crease in the assessed value of pioperty of about four m i i lions of dollars The officials are very much pleaded with the returns an i additionally so because they thiuk that there will be a minimum of litigation The Pott Royal and Augusta. Port ll ?yal and Wt-stern Carolina, Charleston, Sumter and Northern roads have all gotten substan? tial reductions in their assessments The Atlantic Coast Line system has gotten healthy concession?, aud it is thou "lit that with the new assessments about the only roads that will contest ihe present assessment will be those of the Richmond and Danville and South Carolina system*. PROBABLY A VAIN HOrE If thc South Carbina Road is soon sold il is thought by the State that the tax matter will be iakeu out of the C ?uris The Comptroller thinks that this .year's assessments, while liberal, ought to be satisfactory to all parties. From the general tone of things it would appear that there is not going to be auy effort made to increase the bank or other corporation assessments, as was tried iu bygone years nOW CHARLESTON STANDS It will be interesting to see how well Charleston County, which is threatened with "black districts" and "metropoli tiad police," aud such other nightmares, holds ber own. Her quota of taxable property is $20 613 973, and it is mos ly in the very best class of property for tax collections. TUE DISTRIBUTION OF ASSESSMENTS.
