Trouble in the Camp of the
Cotton Plant.
Colamb?a Register. '
Then; is trouble io raks of tbe Cot?
ton Plant, tbe organ of tbe Farmers
Alliance of South Carolina, and it
;>'.: eeems that the present editor and pub?
lisher, Mr. W. T. Crews, will have to
step down and ont, and lay aside bis
editorial pen as far as that paper is
eon cerned.
The correspondence between the
publishing committee of tbe Alliance
and Mr Crews, which is given below,
tells the story of the trouble, and
makes it necessary to add bot little else.
Mr ..Crews, it appears from the state?
ment annexed, has been indulging io
too nandi politice io the solamos of the
Cotton Plant and after being "called
down" he has disregarded the ad moni
. -tions. and persisted io writiog oo cer
tain lines contrary to his contract with
the Alliance committee. This com?
mittee tbioks that the Laurens* editor
?:'v hat given the farmers allopathic doses
of polities and homeopathic doses of
agriculture. They want this changed
so that they will get all agriculture and
no politics.
Speaking figuratively, Mr. Crews
has lately been jumping on some mem?
bers of tine publishing committee and
_ also on Senator McLaurin, in some of
his political articles, and as political or
factional editorials were io violation of
bk agreement with the Cotton Plant,
he has been served with notice to vacate
; the editorial chair.
The trouble bas been brewing for
some time, bot bas jost now reached
tho foeos point.

Jennings Seriously Hurt.
New York, June 28-Short Stop
Jennings of Baltimore, who was hit
on the head by a ball thrown by Pitch?
er Rusie, in the baseball game to?
day, is said to be suffering from con?
cussion of the brain. Doyle of Balti?
more, was at first base, and was play
lng off the base Rusie made a mo?
tion as though to throw the ball to
Clarke, New York's first baseman.
K?nning quickly, however, he faced
the batsman, Jennings, and delivered
a swift inshoot, which struck the
Baltimorean above the left ear. Jen?
nings turned completely around, then
sank to his knees. Players from both
sides rushed to his aid, and after
awhile he recovered sufficiently to
take his base He succeeded in tally?
ing a mn In the next inning he
went to his place at short stop and
played throughout the inning. Then
he was taken with nausea. A physi?
cian was called from the grand stand
and advised him to leave the .field.
He wanted to continue to play but
was forced to leave and went to the
? club house crying bitterly.
Young Woman Abducted.
i
Sive Was a Student at Due West
and Disappears.
I_
The following from the Charlotte
Observer tells of the abduction of a
young lady who was a student at
Due West :
A very distressing story comes
from Due West, S C. Miss Mc
Quieston of Arkansas was a pupil at
the Due West Female academy last
year When the term was drawing
to a close, her father wrote ' her to
meet him in Nashville, at such aud
such a hotel She left Due West
after commencement for Nashville
When she got there she found that
she was ahead of time, and that her
father had not arrived. She thought
she had made a mistake iu the hotel
and started ont to look for him at
other hotels. Not finding him she
returned to the hotel she first stop?
ped at. There a gentleman met ber
who told her that he had seen her
father at such and such a hotel, and
that if she would go with him he
would take her directly to her father.
That was the last seen or heard of
ber. \
Her father came 12 hours later, ex?
pecting of coarse to find his daaghter
awaiting him at the hotel. He was
told of her having been there, of her
hunt for him, and of her leaving the
hotel with a strange man.
The Observer's informant had
daughters at Due West college, who
knew Miss McQateston well. So far
nothing has been heard of her
Keeley Institute To Move
From Columbia.
About July first tbe Keeley Institute
will remove from Columbia to Green?
ville Tbe reason given by tbe man?
agement for this move is that the pro?
portion of white people is greater in
the upper part of the State, and it is
from elisa of people that the institute
expects its patients. To get io this
more thickly white populated section of
the State tbe management have decided
on a move. Greenville, as offering tbe
greatest advantages of any of tbe up?
country towns, bas therefore been se?
lected. The property of Dr. T. T.
Earle io that city h&.s already been
leased for a term of years.
Dr. L. G. Corbett, tbe physician ftn
charge, in speaking about the move
said that it could be made only with
regret. He, with others connected
witb the institute, bad found Columbia
a most pleasant city. Dr. Corbett j
came here in 1886 as assistant pbyst- j
ciao to the hospital for the insane, I
where he served sis years. Since then !
be has been with the institute.-The :
State.
Savannah cotton men have decided
to make application to the Georgia 1
railroad commission for a reduction
in freight rates on cotton. The
grounds for the application ate that
the ratee aie the same as they were
eight years ago, when cotton was
worth a third more than at present,
and that the production of cotton has
increased largely in that period. ?
No Reprimand for Watts.
Governor Refers Whole Mat?
ter to the Legislature
Governor Ellerbe yesterday acted
upon the finding and recommenda
lions of the court of inquiry by is?
suing the following order : - .
The report and recommendations,
together with the record of the pro?
ceedings of the court of inquiry,
consisting , 0/Brigadier General Jo?
seph L. Stoppelbein, Col J G. Ward
law and Capt. Henry T. Thompson,
appointed by general order from this
oflEce, bas been duly considered.
The report of the court of inquiry
and record of its proceedings will be
at the proper time transmitted to tbe
general assembly for such action as
that body may deem proper with re?
ference to tbe adjutant and inspector
general, who is in this State a con?
stitutional officer.
And it is ordered :
1. That Private Fjsbbume of the
richland Volunteers be discharged
from the military service of the
State.
2. That the captain of the Richland
Volunteers publish an order repri?
manding Private Dunning of said
company for leaving ranks without
permission.
3 The court of inquiry having
completed the duties assigned, it is
hereby dissolved
The commander-inchief desires to
express high appreciation of the
complete and careful ?canner in which
the court has performed its duty
Governor Ellerbe was asked his
reasons for approving of every recom?
mendation of the court save that of
reprimanding Genera! Watts. To
this he replied that while he approv?
ed the court's action in its entirety,
he did not thin* be should attempt to
reprimand General Watts as be was a
constitutional officer responsible only
to the electors. General Watts' duties
were defined by law and it was not
provided that should he prove dere
, lict to bis duties that he should be re
primanded by anyone other than the
people or by them through their repre?
sentatives
The governor felt that he would
have as much right to reprimand the
attorney general, secretary of state
or any other official as to reprimand
General Watts.
Governor Ellerbe did not express
himself just as above, but this is the
idea which he wished understood.
The actual cost of the court of in?
quiry was $327.65. The members of
the court received $4 per day with
$2 for board and mileage. Had tbe
officers insisted on being paid on just
what the law allows, General Stop?
pelbein would have received $15 per
day, Col. Wardlaw ?12, Judge Ad?
vocate General Mayfield $10, and
Captain Thompson $6 50. The steno?
graphers were paid $75, and 'with
other eXDense8 ran the cost" up to
?327.65.*-The State, Jnne 27.

A St. Louis Express Dashed
to Destruction.
Kansas City, Mo.? June 26.-Tbe
St Louis express on the Wabash
railway, which left here at 6.20 this
evening, plunged through a trestle
at Missouri City, Mo , at 5 minutes
of 7 o'clock, carrying down the en?
tire train with the exception of the
rear car-a pullman. The gorg
which was a few hours previous
practically empty, had become a rag?
ing torrent, because of a tremendous
downpour of rain and tbe structure
weakened
John Ennis, traveling salesman for
Beckman & McKnight, was in the
rear car of the tiain which was the
only one which escaped injury It
was likewise the only car in which
none of the passengers were injured
Mr Ennis bad an interview with a
farmer who had come from Missouri
City in the evening and was at the
place where the wreck occurred to
flag the train. The farmer claimed
to have waived a flag on the track,
but owing to the terrible storm, tbe
engineer was unable to see the sig
nal. Mr. Ennis said the wreck oc?
curred at 7.05 o'clock. The engine
passed over the trestle which broke
immediately afterwards and the ten?
der, together with the front or
through smoking car, was thrown
backwards into the gorge The
farmer with whom Mr. Ennis talked,
said that at 5 o'clock there was prac?
tically no water in the gorge, but at
the time of the wreck it was a rag?
ing torrent of 10 feet or more in
depth The farmer said the bridge
was clearly unsafe, which had im?
pelled him to staud in the storm in an
attempt to "ag the train.
There were no trainmen left unkill
ed on the side of the gorge on which
most of the cars were left, HO far as
Mr Ennis knows, he engineer and
firemen being on the other side The
pas.-^ngers were Irl;, to take inde
pendent action ls rescuing the vic
tims.
Mr _anis thc.ght a conservative
estimate of the number !;ii!(;t! would
be '20. ar.d that it was more likely
more than ?ess that number.

i_
j Have Bloody Fight Near
? ; Canea. The Whole Dis?
trict is Greatly Ex?
cited,
_
j Canea. Crete, June 27.-An armed
; force of 1,200 Musulmans made a
j sortie from Canea last night, crossed
i the military cordon and surprised the
' insurgents at Kanlikastelli, three
j hours distant. A desperate combat
ensued in which 13 Mussulmans were
killed and 12 wounded. The Chris
tian inhabitants of the district are
preparing to make reprisals by land
and sea.
Later advices show that many
Christians were killed, as well
as many Turks. in engage?
ments that preceded the principal
fighting at Kanlikastelli. The whole
district is greatly excited.
The trouble arose from the en?
croachments of Mussulman refugees,
who attempted to pasture their cattle
within the limits of the neutral zone.
Harris Will Hang
If Caught by Anderson's
Angry People.
_
j Special to The State.
j Anderson, Juce 28.-A bold and
dastardly attempt to criminally assault
a youDg lady of this city by a mulatto
fiend, J8 or 20 years old, bearing the
name of Chris Harris, was made this
morning in broad daylight about 9
o'clock
Very few know of the occurrence,
otherwise the excitement would be
intense. If caught it is believed be will
be summarily dealt with. The negro
bears a bad reputation and those who
knew of the affair, while keeping
quiet, hope by doiog so to throw Harris
off his guard and render capture cer?
tain, are terribly in earnest as to what
the punishment will be and the speed
with which it will be administered.
The sheriff and deputy, together with
the city police, are making every effort
to capture the fieod. Men have been
seot out on every train leaving the
city. The negro's bouse has been
watched and every part of the city
searched, but no clue to his where?
abouts has been found up to this time.
The home of the young lady is on
the outskirts of the city ; she and her
sister were alone. Tbe lady assaulted
went to tbe garden. The negro was
watching from the rear of the garden
and entering hastily be seized tbe lady
and attempted to throw ber down.but be
ing of fine physique, she resisted effect?
ually, screamed for help and tbe negro
fled.
The quiet of the city is but the fore?
boding of the storm which will break
in terrible fury when the fiend is cap?
tured and the affair made publie.

Wevler in Santiago.
Makes Conciliatory Address
to Citizens.
Habana, June 28.-Captain Gn
j eral VVeyler, af\er a stormy passage on
I a coasting steamer from Manzanillo,
arrived at Santiago de Cuba yester?
day afternoon The steamer was
met by a number of tugs having on
board the municipal authorities pro
vincial authorities and General Lin?
ares, the military commander of the
district. The port and shipping
were profusely decorated in honor of
the captain genera!, and be was
cheered by large numbers of people
who lined the routes from the whaif
to the cathedral and thence lo the
palace, in spite of the fact that rain
was falling heavily. At the palace,
the captain general received all the
local, civil and military authorities.
Addressing the local authorities
last evening in the palace of Santiago
de Coba, Captain Genera! Weyler
said he remembered with pleasure
that region where he had engaged in
a campaign during the previous war
in Cuba Continuing, he explained
that he was coming to pacify that
part of the island and that though be
was strongly desirous of peace, his
system of maki?g war was to be
rigorous toward the "rebels'7 who
refuse to accept the clemency of
Spain through him offered them. The
general added : "Notwithstanding
the examples in rigor set by other
colonial nations. I attend to the re
construction of the wealth of the
island. This was the purpose which
inspired my last decrees, and I pro?
pose to continue this policy,-aIthough
I have been compelled in some in?
stances to countenance destruction,
? owing to the fact that circumstances
j have made it necessary in some cases
? to destroy the resources of the
rebels."
The captain general then referred
to the sincerity of the Spanish gov?
ernment in its desire to introduce
j reforms in Cuba, concluding with the
j remark : "I come to bring peace or
i war. If the former is accepted we
j will then return to the law. But if
j the latter is desired, behind me come
j 40 battalions-of troops " ?

SOME DIFFICULTIES OF CHARITY
WORK.
A growing number of intelligent peo?
ple are dissatisfied with charitable
work. We are, they conclude, perpetuat?
ing injustice and excusing ourselves
on the plea of charity. There is doubt?
less truth in this criticism. Another ob?
jection is stated below:
The published report of the Charity
Organization society is the best proof of
the utter fallacy of their theory. Vfith
an income of $50,000, not a cent of
which is allowed by their constitution
to be spent on alms, they conducted
some 30,000 inquiries in 1895 and 5,000
in 1896. The cost was the same for the
latter year, though the number of in?
vestigations was fewer by half. Assum?
ing the above to be the minimum out?
lay necessary for the successful working
of their own system, we find that each
investigation will cost from $5 to $10
before any relief has been given. Now,
in a city like New York at least 100,
000 inquiries will have to be made each
year, which will entail a preliminary
outlay of from $500,000 to $1,000,000,
a foolish and extravagant waste of
money which no intelligent taxpayer
would knowingly tolerate.

THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS-SOME LES?
SONS THEREFROM.
The inauguration cf President. Mc?
Kinley is over and the promised begin?
ning time of prosperity is here. Person?
ally the president is a pure man whose
motives and sincerity no one can ques?
tion. His weak points are those for
which he is not personally responsible.
He is, in the minds cf the independents,
weak in mental penetration, logical
force and will power. Tbe fear that
even some of his wisest friends have is
that he will be overridden by some of
his strong willed advisers. We are'
aware that some of these fears were en?
tertained about Lincoln and Garfield,
and that during the administration of
the former he was accused of fluctua?
tion, and we are all painfully conscious
of how untrue these judgments were.
Every one is ready and willing for
prosperity to come in abundance and
quickly. No president ever had a greater
opportunity for a great work. Ko theo?
ry ever had a greater opportunity than
the gold standard has. But it must be
seriously remembered that both the Re?
publican party and the monometallistic
theory are on trial and will be held
strictly to account if they fail to accom?
plish what they have so sanguinely
promised.
The independent vote is larger than
ever, and is rapidly growing. This vote,
as much as it is criticised by party
leaders, holds the balance of power in
American politics and will continue to
do so as long as the government stands.
The influence of independency is
growing. The number of papers that
are becoming independent is steadily
growing and the rank and file of voters
are becoming every year more free from
party dominance. The last slection
demonstrated this. The party lash was
used much less than of yore. If coercion
was used by corportions, it was the co?
ercion of bread and butter and not that
of the party.
The independent vote, backed by a
large and growing sentiment among the
working men and farmers, makes cer?
tain demands. These are not partisan,
but made in the interests cf the com?
monwealth. It will not bc amiss to state
the more important of them:
First.-A sufficient tariff, whether
for revenue or protection, to keep a liv?
ing wage for the day laborer and to
protect the farmer.
Second.-^The simplification cf gov?
ernmental "vsprk so as to reduce taxation
or render more service to the people.
Third.-The repeal cf all class legis?
lation and the taking of the lobby away
from congress.
Fourth. - The remodeling of our
finance until two things are accomplish?
ed-^ (a) the entire control of our finances
by the government; (b) a stable and suffi?
cient currency for all of the demands of
business.
These are demands that are entirely
reasonable. They are nonpartisan. They
are in the "interests cf good government
and national progress.
We truly hope that President McKin?
ley sees the opportunity and that he
will be ? qual to the occasion and lead
the country out of its present condition.
We should all learn to love the inter?
ests of th 2 country above those of party.
We know that no party is as large as
the interests of the country and that the
interests of every party are bound up
with the success of the people. The pres?
ident's inaugural address is not quite so
promising as we would wish, but still
he gives a gleam of hope in that he ad?
mits the possibility of improvement in
our finances and the necessity in mak?
ing such improvements should the pres?
ent system prove inadequate.
No money system is final. The great
governments of the world have been
those that are adjustable. A live gov?
ernment changes and needs changing
methods. TJie assurance of proper ad?
justments to meet the growing demands
of business will bring confidence and
prevent panics in a large degree.

ALAS FOR T~E SALVATIONISTS!
When the rival branches of the Salva?
tion Army parade the streets for effect,
they are dangerously near adop'mg po?
litical methods. Many good and wise
people have looked upon the Army as a
most sincere movement in behalf of a
fallen and neglected class, and have
willingly overlooked its spectacular
ways and crude theology. If false am?
bitions at display of number and bunt?
ing are to be added to its crude ways
and cruder theories, many will turn
away in sorrow, if not disgust. Let the
Salvation Anny stick to its real work
that of lifting up the fallen.
