^3pca!t, my brother, " said Guatemoc. Then I spoke. "Most noble Cuitlahua, and you, lords and princes, you honor me by asking my counsel, and it is this, in few words and brief: You waste your strength by hurling your armies contin? ually against stone walls and the weapons of Teales. So you shall not prevail against them.. Your devices must be changed if you would-win victory. The Spaniards are like other men. They are no gods, as the ignorant imagine, and the creatures upon which they ride are not demons, hut beasts of burden, such as are used for many purposes in the land where I was ' born. "The Spaniards are men, I say, and do not men hunger and thirst? Cannot men bc worn out by want of sleep and be killed in many ways? Are not these Teules already weary to the death? This, then, is my word of comfort to you: Cease to attack the Spaniards and invest their camp so closely that no food can reach them and their allies, the Tlascalans. If this is done, within 10 days from now either they will surrender, or they will strive to break their way back to the coast. But to do thia, first they must win out of the city, and if dikes are cut through the causeways that will be no easy matter. Then when they strive to escape,' cumbered with the gold they covet and came here to seek, then, I say, will be the hour to attack them and to de? stroy them utterly." I ceased, and a murmur of applause went round the council. "It seems that we came to a wise judg- I ment when ?we determined to spare this man's life," said Cuitlahua, "for all that he tells us is true, and I would that we had followed this policy from the first; Now, lords, I give my voice for acting as our brother points the way. What say you?" "We say with you that our brother's words are good," answered Guatemoc presently, "and now let us follow them to the end." Then, after some further talk, the coun? cil broke up, and I sought my chamber, well nigh blind with weariness and crush? ed by the weight of all-that I had suffered on that eventful day. The dawn was fiar ing in the eastern sky, and by its glimmer I found my path down the empty corridors till at length reame to the curtains of my sleeping place. I drew them and passed through. There, far up the room, the faint light gleaming on her snowy dress, her raven hair and ornaments of gold, stood Otomie, my bride I went toward her, and as I came she glided to meet me with outstretched arma -She glided to meet mc with outstretched arms. Presently they were about my neck, and her kiss was upon my brow. "Now all is done, my love and lord," -she whispered, "and come good or ill, or botl\ we are ono until death, for such " vows as ours cannot be broken." "All is done indeed, Otomie, and our oaths are lifelong, though other oaths have been broken that they might be sworn," -I answered. Thus then I, Thomas Wingfield, was wed to Otomie, princess of the Otomie, ! Montezuma's daughter. ITO BE CONTINUED.] Earle and Youmans on the Political Situation. The following letters were brought j out by requests from the editor of the Columbia Register : Editor Register : The Butler eon- ? ferences, as reported, are supposed to indicate that having been defeated at tiie recent primary elections, the j General will now organize an Inde- j pendent movement, in order that he j may have another chance to be re? turned to the Senate. Such a move meat would be "conceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity " \ Sorely there must be some mi?take ; hr the published reports for it is hard j to believe that Senator Butler and j his friends, many of whom have j proved their manhood, courage and j patriotism, in war and in pence, would enter upon a venture so j fraught with evil to the State. ! Senator Hampton in 1878 declared that "au Independent was worse than a Radical " The conditions which inspired this forcible expr?s- j sion remain unchanged, so let the word be again passed down the line, ! "an Independent is worse than al Radical.1' An Independent movement against ! the organized Democracy could j succeed only by forming a coalition ! with the black Republicans, and this i would eventually result in their restoration to power Shall white j men be ruled by negroes? Shall: the State be again dominated by ignorance and vice '( Shall we have negro judges presiding over oar courts '* Shall South Carolinains be again subjected to the insults, suffer-1 ing and humiliation experienced by j them in the dark days of Radical- j ism t If not, then rise up in your ! might and put down a movement | which to gain a temporary advantage would open Pandora's box and flood the State with evils which will be fastened not only upon you, but also : upon your children. I The duty of the hour compels j every Democrat, whether Tillmanite or anti-Tillmanite, to fight now on common ground to sustain white supremacy. Jos. H. EARLE, j COL YOUMANS IN FAVOR OF INDEPEXD ENTISM Editor Register : Your communi cation of the first inst, teceived this afternoon and in accordance with your request I reply immediately. In this communication addressed to me you say : "Knowing you to be a staunch and uncompromising foe of aught that tends to disturb white supremacy, and that your words carry weight and influence, I ask that yon write The Register a letter giv? ing your views upon the new Inde? pendent movement about to be started and outlining the duty of the hour. Hoping for an early re? ply, I arc,'" &c. As to "white unity," that was dis turbed four years ago, when Gover? nor Tillman, conceiving himself to be the only man with the nerve and the brains and the ability to ai ray the corr mon people against the aristocracy, for the accomplishment of his own selfish purposes, spread discord and division among the white people by inaugurating what he chose to term a family quarrel in the State. As to "white supremacy," it should be remembered that whilst uegro domination in the recon? structed States bas been one of the most marked features of the policy of the Republican party that the Northern Democracy, through all of the political vicissitudes of the last quarter of a century, has been the unfaltering friend of the South. It was due to its persistent demands that white supremacy was restored in '76 and '77 to South Carolina and Louisiana and its aid was freely given to defeat the force bill and to repeal the election laws. On the other hand all of the new political organi zatiens which have sprung up like Jonah's gourd, and will wilt about as soon, have generally acted with the .Republican party against the interest of the South. The Green- , backers, many of whom were elected in part by denouncing Democrats, whom they were trying to defeat as , not sufficiently Democratic, when elected were fouud voting with the Republicans in the interests of al! < measures, dragooning thc South in favor of negro domination. The Populists ?nd third parly iles are no exception to this rule ; they 1 went over bag and bagging into the j camp of our enemies during the consideration of the House bill to reduce the tax burdens of the tariff and placed themselves under the leadership of the gentleman from - Maine, Mr. Reed, and Mr. Boutelle - to prevent the Democrats from even i considering a bill designed to lift the burden of tariff taxation from the ! ? farmers of the South. They joined ;1 the Republicans in a body and voted j : almost solidly against the repeal of j1 the 10 percent, tax ou State banks, ? a measnre which if it had been j enacted into law would have given ? < great financial relief to the South j These new departures, whenever j they have taken place in the South, have nearly always resulted in an appeal to the negro and a termination within the Republican ranks,-Witness Mahone, McLane, Tom Watson and j R. F. Kolo. The originator and autocrat of your political faction, lor he dicated to it not only as to measures but men, has admitted that he was half Populist in the canvass of '92 ; that he is now like McLane a Greenbacker, and has served notice on the voters of the State of his early expectation j to desert the Democratic party. I think thia "new Independent move- ? ment about to be started" by Gover- j nor Tillman and those pledged to sup port him should be met by an immediate j reorganization of the Democratic j party in the State and that the "duty j of the hour" is for every Democrat i who has any manhood or political! principle or owns any property that binds him to the State or inter- j ests him in its welfare to aid this re- j formation with all of h?6 might. As to placing a Democratic ticket j tn the field at this late day I stand | confirmed in my opposition to it, were j it not for the bloody lawlessness j of the present administration and the promise of its continuance by the legatee-a policy of outrage and ! bloodshed which if persisted in seems to me inevitably bound to precipitate the State into all the horrors of civil war. It cannot be reasonably presumed that freemen will forever tamely submit to having their private premises ransacked and their private packages torn open and scattered j by the pimps, underthugs and pluguglies of any set of nondescript petty tyrauts or even allow B. R Tillman to blow open their iron safes and break down their doors. How? ever, upon this question I am wil? ling to be governed by the combined wisdom of those with whom I have i been politically associated. L. W. YOUMAXS. Fairfax, S. C., Sept. 3, 1894. The Winchester Repeating Arms j Company, of Springfield, Mass., has completed and shipped to the Chinese j Government one million rounds of j ammunition. Cartridges were of 45 70 calibre, and were sent by rail to the , Pacific coast John and Jasper Atkinson, who killed John Camp, near Winnsboro, S. ! C., will hang on September 21. Thc | governor refuses to interfere. This i will bc the first case on record in South j Carolina where men who were recom? mended to the mercy of the court by the jury, viii be hanged. The Boll Worm In Newberry. NEWBERRY, September 4-The Arkansas boll worm is destroying the ! cotton crop in all parts of this county, j Reports received to day show that in several sections the worm is more j destructive than others, and is play- ! ing havoc on the farms of D. P. j Bouknight and J. H. Chappell tn the | vicinity of Newberry. In the cotton | in the Beth Eden section aud in fact every part of the county where the | cotton stalk has grown luxuriant the ! worm is flourishing-, and is secure where the sun cannot penetrate the thick foliage. On the farms named the destine- j tion from present indications will be almost total. There are farms, how? ever, which, if scant growth counts for anything, will be saved from the depredations of the boll worm. H. H Evans, of Newberry, is in the race for Congress i ti the od dis? trict. He so declared himself last week, and is sticking to it. He says lie means to make the race lively. Mr. Evans is at present trial justice of Newberry and Deadfall Towuship, baying won in the primary two years ago. - --- Darlington Must Pay. Judge Simonton peut down yester? day from Flat Rock an opinion and I order for judgment in the Atlantic | Trust Company, of New York, vs the j town of Darlington, S C. The ver? dict is for the pl an tiff'in the sum oft $6,873 60 and costs. The bonds to which the coupons sued on in this case belongs were executed for the purpose of complet ting and equipping a railroad from Sumter via Darlington to Bennetts ville, there to meet a northern con? nection. This rail toad has been built, equipped and is in operation. The northern connection has been effected. The bonds were delivered. The single question of law in the case was: Are these bonds valid obligations of the town of Darling? ton ? The defence claimed that the ! town had no authority under the j Constitution to issue the bonds. It was argued that the amount of bonds, $73,000, exceeded 8 per cent of the taxable property of Darlington. This was not proven and the Court found for plaintiff as stated above. News and Courier Sept. 6. ???? %. - A special to the Chronicle from Port Royal, S. C., says: The ?teamer Karnoo Delarrioaga cleared from Port Royal for Liverpool with 2,800 bales of oew cotton, 10.000 sacks of flour and 100 tons of lumber and logs. This ? ship came here from Tampa with 3,000 tons of phosphate rock for Liverpool, 1 aud in addition to the above meotioued cargo has taken on 350 toos of coal for , bunker purposes, and will sail direct to Liverpool without having to stop for coal at Norfolk. A promioeot gentleman of Co? lumbia has beeu writing some * 'general impressions" for the Journal relative to the city government. He observes among other things, "that little pickaninnys are imprisoned for playing craps ir bile the poker and faro I rooms ruo without concealment ; that the druokard goes to the city guard boase, while the drunkard maker does a thriving business auder the very eyes of j council, and pays not even a general j merchandise license.'' That such ? things exist in the city of Colombia and j in many of the towns io Sooth Carolina, ! no one, wbo keeps posted, will doubt; ! bot where is the justice io such a state j of affairs ?
