Senator Irby tbon branched out and
discussed straddtois and fence-riders.
Ho said ho freely ooneoded tho right
of any ono toopposo him, but ho did
not want any two-faced business. " A
Htraddlor," ho explained, " is a weak
man, who has not talent enough to do
fend his enuso, and therefore resorts
to double-dealing and hypoorlay. A
man of brains has othor weapons, and
you will always find him taking a do
oided and {firm stand on all publlo
matters."
After dinner, Bitting bohlnd tho
Senator's line team, wo started out on
a ride through the woatoiu portion of
I Laurens County, taking tboold Green
vtlle road. This is a beautiful ?ecllon.
While tho land is tbln, it lies well,
and with the uuo of manure, produces
lino crops. Farmers are well up with
their work, and small grain far ad
vanced over Spartauburg County. We
saw five acres in cotton to one in corn.
, Thoro are numbers of beautiful farm
housos in this section und every few
' miles is thrifty railway villages. Wo
passed through Barksdalo, Gray Court,
Owings and Fountain inn, besides
taking in Mr. Chris. Owings, who is
one of tho most successful planters In
that county. We took supper with
Mr. Owings. v/ho Is a staunch friend to
Senator Irby. Mr. Owlugs has a pen
of six Chester hogs for next year's
killing, and which will now average
225 pounds each. He says ho will
mako thorn go to 500 or GOO pounds by
next winter. Mr. Owings raises a
yellow corn and ho says for stock feed
ing eight cars contains as much nutri
ment as ton oars of the whito variety
and it is loss susceptible to drought.
Wo met several friends at Mr. Owings'
and spent a delightful evening.
Aftou BUpper wo hitched up our team
and started for Fountain Inn, to spend
tho night with Mr. John W. Kellott.
Fountain Inn is ono of tho most pros
perous towns in Laurens County. It
is about the size of Woodruff, and buys
4,000 bales of cotton a year. And
speaking of cotton, wo saw in front of
many farm houses great piles of bales.
During our tri]) wo must havo passed
at least 500 bales yet in hands of fat ra
ers.
Mr. Kellott Is ono of tho most hospi
table of men, and we met a warm wel
come. He has a beautiful homo and
delightful family. His eldest daggh
ter is a first-class artist, and has or
namented tho houso with handsomo
paintings and portraits of tho family.
Kollett showed us a patch of two and
a half acres, on which ho last year
raised 2,500 pounds of lint cotton, and
says he intends to bring it up to three
hales per acre. This shows what the
land around there will do with tho use
of fertilizers and scientific culture.
The good people of Owings uro re
joicing over tho fact of at last having
a post office given them, and which
has been named "Kapley," as there
was another Owings in Laurens Coun
ty, and it would havo confused mails.
Owings has three stores, a chureh and
school, and until this office wus estab
lished her people had to send a long
mile into the country to Powers for
their mail.
During our ride we traveled forty
miles, going ono road and returning
by another, if that section is an in
dex to the political sentiment of Lau
rens County, it is a waste of time to
try and defeat Senator Irby at home. ,
We stopped at a number of houses,
talked with the people, and thoy all (
report tlio country as a unit for Irby.
Tho people havo named their babies
for him, and every man or lady ho
passed on the road would halt him and
have some kind word'tosay. Wo never
saw such unanimity and enthusiasm for
a candidate And parties tell us that
the other sections of Laurens aro juBt
as strong for Irby as this. So those
who are predicting that Senator Irby
will bo turned down by his own people
know not what thoy aro talking about.
If thoy will go into tho county, and
talk with tho farmers, thoy will find 1
that-J. L. M. Irby Is firmly anchored 1
in their hearts. '
And another thing wo noticed : '?
While the people are all strong advo- 1
cates of silver, every man wo mw ro- '
pudiated the idea of going into any
Independent party. They believe that 1
the silver delegates will control tho 1
Cnicago convention, and have no idea
of following tho Populists.
Wo met Col. Crews, editor of the
Luuronvillo IJcrald. He tells us that
tho new paper to be started by his son ]
will be printed on tho Herald press.
Doth Col. Shaw and Sheriff McCravy
deny having any stock in "Tho Silver 1
Democrat." In fact, a friend of ShorilT !
McCravy's told Senator Irby that ho
(McCravy) says it was a falso report
that ho was fighting him. So it will '
be scon that tho opposition to Senator I
Irby in Laurens is largely imaginary,
and the work of outside parties. <
Congressman Wilson is strong over '
Laurens, and tho manner in which be 1
handled Boutolle has made him many
new friends, lie will have no opposi- 1
tion for re-election. It was reported
that. Mr. Patton, of Columbia, would !
oppose Mr. Wilson, but it would oo 1
folly for PattOD to mako the race. We 1
heard in Spartauburg that thero was 1
ill feeling between Senator Irby and
Congressman Wilson, and wo asked
the Senator if thero was any grounds
for such a report. Ho replied that
there wns not, so far as ho knew ; that
just before he left Washington Mr.
Wilson and himself had a talk, and
parted on kind terms. He also said
there was no truth in tho story that
'1'iil man and himself did not speak as
thoy passed "Why," ho remarked,
"Senator Tlllman frequently comes
over to my seat, ond we talk together.
Of course our rotations aro not as close
as they onco woro, but we always
speak when wo meet, and frooly dis
cuss any measure relating to tho good
of our State. I tell you I am not mak
ing war on any ono. I intend to dis
charge my duty by my people, and
think and act. for myself. I am no
coat-tail swinger. Tho peoplo elected
mo to tho Senato, and they are tho
only masters I own."
Senator irhy's enemies havo put out
the report that ho has been absent I
from nearly every roll call. To answer I
this story, he refers to tho proceed- j
Ir.gs of Congress. Senator Irby says
that as soon as tho committeo meeting
is over he will return to Washington,
lie thinks Congress will adjourn in
May, as all important business has
been transacted which could bo hoped
for at tliis session, and only tho appro
priation bills aro now in tho way. Son
ator Irby *ays ho will mako a cam
paign of tho State next summor, and
moot the peoplo face to face and give
an account of his stewardship.
Tlio Headlight is not an organ for
Sonator Irby or any other man. This
paper is froo and untrammeled, but
will keop tho peoplo posted. If Sena
tor Irby was guilty of voproheot-iblo
conduct, wo would donoun^o him as
soon as any ono. Personally ho is our
friend ; but tho editor of this papor
wears no man's collar. Wo went to
Laurens not for the purpose of boom
ing Senator irby, but to study the po
litical situation in person, and then
tell our readers the facts. This wo
I havo done.

LET ALL DEMOCRATS STAND FIRM,
Tin; MAJORITY SHOULD RULE
ALWAYS.
Wo Owe the Party Much.and Must
Stand Ity It to the Knd? Division
Means an Appeal to tho Negro.
Senetor It. B. Watson, of Edgoficld,
who has always boon a warm frioud
and strong admirer of Senator B. B.
Tillman, has written tho following
letter of admonition und counsel to tho
pcoplo of tho Stato:
Editor Beglstor: I have never writ
ten an article for publication. I feel
that it would bo criminal to bo silent
now whon tho very existence of tho
Democratic party in South Carolina is
threatened. I am a Democrat und I
intend to bo ono to tho ond of tho
chapter. I allied mysolf to tho Be
form p-trty becauso It was Democratic.
When occasion"dcomed to demand it,
I hit somo hards licks for Boform. I
shall feol it my duty to strike with all
my might all oncmies of the party
whoever they may bo. Lot all those
who do not bclievo in majority rulo
leavo tho party and form suoti ulliunces
as they choose. But lot all Democrats
stand firm. I shall stick to tho party
of my fathers, and if sho goes down !
will go with hor. Lotus all Gght for
our rights in tho party.
Scn-ttor Tillman has mado u great
mlstako in advising our people to
leavo tho party. Wo owo her much
and wo must staud by hor to tho end.
Must wo leavo tho only party that has
helped us In the past if wo cannot oou
trol it in every particular to-day P It is
of tho utmost importanco that our
whitd people stand firmly together.
If Senator Till man's advice is followed
thoro will bo a permanent division of
our white people and ultimately an ap
peal to tho negro. It is a crime to
bring about such a condition.
Senator Tillman says " our ono ovor
poworing and overmastering issuo in
Stato :iIIairs has been white suprema
cy, and this under tho conditions ex
isting before the new Constitution was
adopted mado revolt against tho white
majority nothing less than a crime."
And, I say, it is no less a crime to-day.
Ho may call us "'cowards and syco
phants and treacherous leaders uow
masquerading as Democrats," but we
will light for the good old party against
all hor enemies?tho only party in
which our rights are assured.
The Biedmnnt Ueadlight says truly 1
"The word Democrat" in the South
means more than any political move
ment. It means tho rule of tho white
majority!
In conclusion let mo say again to <
every true Democrat in South Caro
lina, staud firm. Bu true to the party
of your fathers. Fight all her enemies.
B. B. WATSON.
Bidge Spring, S. C, March 31.
BILL ARP IS TALKING SQUARE.
United Slates Senators Should bo
Chosen by the People?Tho Old
Idea and tho Now.
Those times remind mo very much
of tho times when I sold goods nearly
fifty years ago, when cotton was 0 or 7 1
conts a pound and bacon about tho 1
same its cotton; chickens were 124 ets.,
oggs 5 cents a dozen and sweet pota
toes 25 cents a bushel; sugar and coffee ;
wore twelve pounds to tho dollar. We
railed these few years hard times and 1
the negroes felt tho pressure too and
improvised a song with a chorus of
"Hard Times Como Again No More." '
But gradually there camo on a change ;
for tho better and prices of everything
advanced just as cotton advanced.
That is why cotton was called king. I
It seemed to regulate everything. And
30 wo thought these hard timos would
soon pass, but thoy show no sign.
Nearly everything has come down to
hard time prices and the consumers
could live cheap enough if they could
[jet anything to do. There is tho rub.
The Irishman who camo over here
complained that chickens were 2 shil
lings apieco and said ho could get one
Over in Ireland for a sixpence. "Well,
why dident you stay over thoro and
buy them?" said tho market man.
"Faith and begorra, J couldont get the
sixpence," ho replied. That is the
consumers' fix now. Tho necessaries
i)f life are cheap enough. The farriers
and producers complain that they are
too cheap. They want, somo kind of a
tariff that will make everything that
they havo to buy as cheap as dirt and
raise the price of what they havo to
soil. An Irishman heard a Dutch
butcher say that tho way to make
money "vao to puy sheep (cheap) and
bcII deer (dear)." Bo dident under
stand how that could bo done and asked
a Scotchman, who ruminated over it,
and said it waste buy mutton and soli
it for venison. But wo can't do that.
Our young men who aro every year
swarming to tho front aro ready und
willing to work, but they canvt got
work to do. No wonder thoy leave,
their homes and go West or to Mexico
and Brazil. I was ruminating about
advising some of them to tro to Central
America and raise colToo. There must
bo money in that business. For years
and yours 1 sold coffee at twolvo pounds
to tho dollar and I don't understand
why it advanced to double the old price
and for years has maintained it. 1. was
reading about tho island of Jamaica
and found that for thirty years tho pro
duet averaged 25,000,000 pounds a year,
but when in 1843 Bnglanu emancipated
her slaves there the production d roppee1
in ton years' time down to 3.000,00?
pounds. In fact, everything dropped
away down except rum ami that still
holds its own.
I wish that I was a groat statesman
nnd could see through all this tangled
up business llko tho X rays penetrate
dark and biddon things and bring them
to tho light. I remember whon tho
great national question boforo tho peo
ple was whether tho govornmont should
mnko Internal improvements or not.
Tho Whigs said it should and tho Dem
ocrats said no and the Democrats car
ried it. At tho next olection tho par
ties changed sides and a system of
Intornal improvements began. Appro
Enations woro mado for rivers and
arbors and custom houses and post
OfSooa and this policy has been estab
Ushed and gets wider and blggor as
the years roll on. Then again there
was tho great question about doclaring
war with Moxico and lutor on about
annexing Toxas and the presidential
elections turnod on thoso i u>-. Now
wo havo got tho tariff and the currency
and party lines are vory much unset
tled. But as tho preacher said : "Even
this will pass away." Georgia is to be
the forum of tho groat discussion and
the people aro to bo tho judges. 1 am
glad that it will bo over soon. Let tho
oeoplo hear and then make oholoo. It
is no new thing; it Is old and the peo
ple have been roading about it for three
yours and almost everybody Is roady
for the vote. I like this way of the
people having a voice in the choice of
a senator. Why not? What Is tho
difference between a senator and a
representative V Tho old-time theory
was that the senators reprontod the
States and tho representatives the
people. A hundrod years ago there
was something in that, hut thoro is
nothing now. In my opinion tho people
should elect the senators just liko they
do the governor and all other officers.
And the noxt host thing would bo to
abolish tho Senate. It was iotouded
to be an aesorably of old men?counsel
lors in wisdom, and who would protect
tho rights of States, and a small Stato
had as much povrer as a largo ono. But
that is a thing of tho past. States
rights have gono into u stato of inrfne
uous doHOuotudo and money has more
to do with a senator's fitness" than ago
or wisd jm. Thero is no good reason
why Khodo Isluud should have as much
power as Texas or Pennsylvania. If
population should settlo it thou New
York should havo forty-eight senators.
If territory should suttlo it thou Toxas
should havo 2,000 in proportion to
Rhode Island's two. But wo don't need
such u body at all. Quo house Is enough
and thoro is no good roason In eighty
four men in tlio Sunato overriding .'100
in tho House. Tho constitution re
quires a si nut or to bo thirty years
old ; ho should bo sixty. Then he
would havo moro seuso and less am
bition.
Well, I never voted for a senator In
my lifo and many a ono has been fili
bustered through tho legislature that
I would not havo voted for and tho
peoplo would not havo chosen. A
shrowd, ambitious man can play "par
lex vous" with 200 men, but bo ean't
do It with 200,000?so lot us all vote
this timo.
And now lot the great battlo for the
next president como on. This is un age
ol surprises and tho Democracy is not
dead, nor its great principles aoundon
od. 1 wouldn't bet on its success, but
we were not very sunguino tho last
time. Tho Populists will be in the
fight pretty strong and there is no toll
ing which way tho cat is going to jump.
Both parties aro bidding for thoir vote
and some wiso men predict that there
will be no election by tho peopio ; but
McKinley and his Southern friends are
sanguine and jubilant. Ono of them
made a speech in our town and said,
with uplifted hand, "that Charley Mc
Kiuley would swoop tho deck of tho
old ship of Stato liko Napoleon Bona
parte swept the field at tho battlo of
Waterloo." And all tho colored breth
ren shouted, amen. But if wo have to
take Republican, I believe 1 hud rather
risk McKinley than any of them. He
has novor abused tho South malicious
ly, or malignantly, and that is my test
of a Northern man.
BILL Am?.
THH OIIBKAIjTAK OF CUBA.
The Seat ol' Uoveriimeiit of t he Cuhnii
Kepuhlie is Said to ho Iinprc^
nnhlo.
Cubitas, pronounced Koobctas, with
tho accont on tho second syllable,
although almost unknown to the out
sido world, is, for many reasons, ono
of the most important and most inter
esting localities on the. island of Cuba.
First, because it has been chosen for
tho seat of government of the Cuban
republic, Second, because nature has
made it not only one of the most
beautiful places on tho face of tho
globe, but at. the same timo it is ab
solutely impregnable from the assault
of any ordinary force which could be
brought to bear against it.
Tho Sierra do Cubitas is in fact
another Gibraltar, rising almost ab
ruptly from tho beautiful rolling plains
uf Jamaguey. Although spoken of as
the mountains'of Cubitas,jlt is really an
elevated plateau, rising to an altitude
of perhaps 701) feet and forming tho
arc of a circle, with its concave sido
facing the Atlantic ocean, or rather
that arm of the ocean known to uav
gators as the Old Bahama Channel.
This plateau, or table land, has a
length from east to west of about 18
miles, its width vary from one to
three miles. Tho view in any direc
tion is magnificent. Beautiful rolling
prairies, dotted with unarming groves
of cocoanut and royal palmes, sweep
away from tho base of tho Cubitas.
Twenty miles to the north can be seen
the dark blues of the sea.
To the southward lies that interest
ing relic of the 16th century, the city
of Puerto Principe, with its Spanish
garrison of 10,001) soldiers. But they
never dream of molesting tho seat of
the Cuban government, although dis
tant only a day's march. The Spanish
commanders know too well that an at
tack on Cubitas would bring them
nothing but death and disaster. The
place is defended today by less than
l,0(iu insurgents, belonging to tho de
partment of General Carillo. but oven
if deprived of arms and ammunition
thoy could successfully defend this nat
ural fortress with looso rocks picked
from the ground.
The approaches from the plain below
gradually terminate in narrow defiles,
which turn and twist, rise and fall,
until riders of tlio nimble and sure
footed Cuban ponies are compelled t:i
dismount, and in single file lead their
animals to tho top. A thousand points
of advantago could bo found where
rocks, hurled down tlio precipitous
sides, would anniiiilato any enemy
sent against tlte place.
Nor could tho defenders ho starved
out. This beautiful and fertile plateau
is now under perfect cultivation. Here
are raised sweet potatoes, peas, beans,
sussnya, from which excellent, bread is
made, and fruit grows in abundance.
Tlio table land of Cubitas is a veritable
military garden, in which President
CisnorOS takes a very pardonable
pride. In fact, the majority of tho in
surgents who garrison tho place spend
most of their timo tilling the soil and
gathering the crops. When this duty
becomes irksomo and a soldier longs
for active servlco In tho field, he is ex
changed for somo poor fellow who,
after weeks of hard riding, is glad of
a littlo rest. Cubitas, with its superb
climato ovcmln summer is an excellent
fdaco in which to recovor from irritat
ng wounds and ovor-fatlgiie.
From tho top of this plateau Presi
dent OisnerOS and Iiis cabinet adminis
ter tlio laws of the new republic.
Couriers mounted on lleot Camaguey
horses, whoso ancestors came over
from Arabia, como and go every hour
of the day and night. In this way the
govrnmont is made aware of every
movement anticipated or oxocuted by
tho various gonorals in command, and
orders aro'transmitted to them with
precision and dispatch.
?Uwlght L. Moo ly is a practical
man, and in tho educational institu
tions which he conducts, whilo tho
Knglish Bibio is the principal text
hook, there is a largo practical oloment
in tho instruction given. In tho Train
ing Scool, the sixth year of which has
just ended, tho studunt is taught not
only how to explain tho Bible to the
woman she is visiting, but how to help
hor make hor home tidy1, proparo
dainty dishes for a sick cllild or hus
band, und mako clothing fpr herself
and family. It Is a sign of progress In
tho right direction, says the/Mow York
Tribune, that in Chrlstioii work of
this kind people aro reminded that
i h<?-.y havo bodies as well al souls, and
a life hero as well as one hereafter.

Philadelphia, and gave to a reporter
for tho ?Press his views on tho in
dustrial and political situation in this
State, as follows:
"Tho State dispensary, of which so
much has been said and writtou," said
Mr. Evans to " The Press " representa
tive, " is now comprised of a board of
control. It numbers live mon, elected
by tho State Legislature, and thoy aro
uot otllceholdors. These men do all
o the financiering and buy all tho
liquor. In addition to this, they ex
amine and audit all of tho accounts.
Tho results produced by this system
are of tho boBt. Heretofore tho matter
was in tho hands of one man and the
system did not seem to prosper. Not
withstanding that things have been
turned upside down in South Carollua
during the past three or four years,
the State has not beon us prosperous
siuco the war as it is to-day. Wo
have three now factories in Columbia,
where ducking and other cotton goods
are made. All of theso cotton mills
aro largo and prosperous. Another
cotton mill, now In course of comple
tion, will ho started soon, and'a 10,000
horse-power electric plant will drive
tho machinery when it is completed.
The old paper mill, between Aiken
and Augusta, is undergoing a change
into a bleachcry, which, when ready
for work, will bo the only bleaching
mill in tho State or in the South.
Heretofore wo had to go North to got
our goods bleached.
"Wo are also extending our rail
road facilities. The no weft road is
tho Greenwood, Anderson and West
ern, which will reach the seaboard on
the one hand and tap the vast coal
Held of Tennessee on tho other. This
road, instead of parallelling some
other road, will cross a number of
roads and open up a section of rich
country that never before has been
reached by a railroad. Sixty miles of
this lino have already been graded
and ironed and tho remaining dis
tance will soon bo put in running
order.
"Then there are our phosphate
fields. My brother, the Governor, has
just returned from an extended visit
to the phosphate holds of Florida, i
Much to his surprise he finds that we i
have in our midst much better ma
terial, easier to mine and not so full of
grit as is the Florida phosphate. Be
sides, we can produco cheaper phosp
hate than can Florida. Our cotton
mills arc paying large dividends. Tho i
itichland mill, atColumbia.will declare i
a dividend of from 12 to 18 per cent. |
A cotton seed oil mill last year paid a
dividend of 40 percent. Spartanburg, |
tho Lowell of South Carolina, has a i
number of mills and they aro all mnk- <
ing money. All of them aro doubling t
their capacity and the future output I
must be very great. Still there ie <
room for more mills, and Massachusetts ,
people are coming nearly every day ;
into the State looking for investments ;
in cotton mills. I
" In spite of the financial depression i
we are, as you see, doing fairly well in ;
South Carolina. Within ten years tho
Dispensaries of South Carolina will 1
pay our State debt of $5,000,000. With- ?
in the past eighteen months tho system 1
has put Into the State treasury $250,' |
000. Tuen there is quite an extensive 1
tea plantation at buimnervillo that '
promises much for the future revenues <
of the State." t
" Has Tillman dono you good or 1
harm ?'' !,
" Tillman opened for tho first time ,
to tho people of tho State tho possi- .
hilities that lay before them. lie
created an era of indust rial develop
ment such as was never known before. .
No public man since the war has done
the State as much good as Ben Till
man. Whichever way you view Till
man dispassionately you must admit
that ho is no common man. Why, ,
think of it ! A few years ago he was a
small fanner and Illiterate in a eer
tain sense, for he only had the most '
meager education in the schools.
He lived in a little four-roomed hut at (
Edgciiuld, without a sign of a ceiling.
His library was in the rafters of his
house, for there he kept the fow hooks
that he possessed. The stables when;
ho kept his cows were much better
than the house he lived in, and he ran
a kind of a small dairy farm. He read
law after he was elected Governor, 1
and when as a member of tho recent
constitutional convention some of the
legal lights tripped in their authori
ties, Tillman was right aftern them."
"There is talk that Tillman will
bolt tho Democratic ticket if a gold
plank is inserted in the Democratic
platform this year."
" Mark my word, ho will not bolt.
There will bo no bolting the ticket.
The Democrats of South Carolina will
stand by the candidate. What we don't
like we will try to alter later on."
"Will Irby succeed himself in the
United States Senate?"
" Not if my brother can prevent it.
He will bo a candidate for the seat
himself and expects to win. Ho was
only 30 years Oi age when ho ran for
Governor and is only 111 now."

THE VIEWS OF A GREAT MAN,
The Silver Question Stated in Plain
I > >ii Ii;-.ii;??'.<? by Alex. 11. Stephen*'.
Tho following letter from Alexander
H. Stophons, written January 20, 1882,
states the silver question in plain lan
guage and tells the whole story in a
few words. It was written prior to
tho first election of Mr. Clevoland, and
when all Democrats were supposod to
bo unanimous in condemning th crime
of 187U, for which tho Republicans
were responsible originally. No matter
what one believes now as to the silver
question this lotter from the great com
moner of Goorgia will prove Interesting
and'profitable reading :
Washington, D. C, Jan. 20, 1882.
, Mr. H. Di Barrows, Los Angles, Cal.
My dear Sir:?Your lettor of tho
14th instant with enclosed slips was
received this evening. Tho subject is
ono of tho gravest that now occupies
tho attontlon of Congress and tho
thinking men throughout tho Uoited
States. Tho reason that silver bullion
has beon depreciated since IXl'A in this
country is that Congross In February,
18711, struck silver from tho lists of
money in tho United States. Tho
moment that this act of Congress was
passed gold was made tho only stan
dard of valuos In this country. That
was a great error and was attended
with infinite mischief in tho United
States.
In 1792 Mr. Hamilton and the pa
trlotlo statesman of that day recogniz
ed In our oolnago tho blmotallie sys
tem oi money; that is, he and they
recognized silver as money as well as
gold at tho ratio of about sixteen parts
of Bilvor as equivalent to ono of gold,
l/nder this regulation and coinage wo
were prosperous in 1873. When silver
was deprived of its dobt-paying power
us an equivalent to gold at tbo ratio
Btated, silver in the markots of the
world was at a premium over gold.
It is useless to go into reasons why this
ohaogo was adopted in our system or by
what unseen bunds it was elTocted. The
true policy of this country Is to return to
tho systom of our fathers. If tho gov
ernment should now, as it ought to,
rotrace its steps and provide for the
freo coinage of silver us, it does of
gold and make 412 1-2 grains of stan
dard silver equivalent to 25 8-10 grains
of gold then silver would immediately
return to its original dignity in tho
markots of tho world in purchasing
and debt-payiug power. This it* tho
real function of money* and in this
country this equality in this fuuetion
at tho ratio stated should bo main
tained.
The debts and bonds of tbo United
States provides for payment io gold or
silver coin at tbo thon standard value ;
it was a great wrong to tho taxpayers
on whom rests the payment of the.
public dobts to strike silver from tho
list of money as was done in 1873. It
was that blow which changed the
valup of the property of tbo Unitod
States. More than half of tho money
of tbo world at that time consisted of
si'vor. Tbo whole amount in tho world
in 1873 was estimated at $8,000.000,000.
of these $4.500,000 wero silver and
$3,500,000,000 wero gold in round num
bors. The ruinous consequences which
attended this bad act of administration
were seen in the failures of mercantile
bouses and business men amounting to
more than half the public debt of the
United States within tho last nine
years. Now, 1 tun for tho freo coinage
of silver bullion just as of gold. Gold
and silver should bo put upon a perfect
equality as of yore in tho ratio of 10
1. This would not only add to the
value of real estate and all sorts of
property in the United States, but it
would greatly encourage aud stimulate
the mining of silver in this country.
In my view all the gold and silver
should bo coined alike. Tho coin
should be kept in the vaults of the
Treasury and certificates given in all
cases whero certificates are preferred.
These coin certificates should be the
currency of the country, it would be
tho best in tho world. In this age we
do not wish to burden with the weight
of either gold or silver in ordinary
business transactions extending to dis
tant places in the country, but we do
want a paper currency whieh is ro
deemahlo at the will of the holder in
coin dollar for dollar. Bank bills
which aro so common in use aro only
promises to pay in coin and are often
issued in amounts of two and some
times to three for one of tho coin in
the vaults: but under the plac advo
cated by me the certificates would in i
no case represent anything but dollar
for dollar.
I haven't time to say more to you
now. 1 will barely add that the pres
ent depreciation of silver bullion and i
af tbo silver standard dollar arises
solely from the degradation of silver
by the act of Congress in 1873. Let
Congress declare, as it ought to. that
112 1-2 grains of standard silver is and
mall be equivalent to 25 8-10 grains of
jold In its purchasing and debt-paying
power, and instantly silver will be on (
i par, if not above par, compared with
jold.
To increase the quality of silver in (
the preset t del liar 112 1-2 grains up to
l^u grains, to make it equivalent to .
;ho present current value of 25 8-10 ,
'rains of gold would hi; u great vrone
to tho laboring masses in the Union \
whoso taxes have to meet the publh
lebt; the holders of tiie public debt .
it the time they received tho bonds 1
received them under the express
stipulation that they wen: to bo paid ,
In United States coin, gold or silver,

that is wanting to make gold and silver <
2qual, to mako 412 1-2 grains of silver

-ilver back on the list Of moneys of t he j
United States as it was In 1873 I have ,
latoly made a report to tho ?OU80 <l
Ropresoutatlvcs upon our coinage, in
which I urge not only the restoration ,
of silver to its debt-paying power-, but
ulso tho adoption of metric coinage
Applicable alike to gold and silver. 1

THE NEW DISPENSARY BOARD,
The Organization Effected Wit hoot
Any Tronble--No Changes in the
Dispensary Officials
Special to the News and Courier.
It is somewhat of a coincidence that
the famous Baines bill should go into
elToot almost at tho samo time as tho
new order of things with tho South
Carolina dispensary law. In Now
York the chief subject of conversation
is tho effect the Raines bill will havo
on business and politics. There the
Idoa seems to be to centralize the con
trol of tho liquor business, so that
what they call the " Blatt machine "
may havo control of matters. In South
Carolina, instead of having the Gover
nor to run the whole business, a hoard
of live is now to have general ohurgo
of tho liquor business. The change In
South Carolina is :i mere Incident in
the operation of the dispensary law.
while in Now York the talk is thai
the approval of tho Baines bill has
killed tho hopes of Governor Morton
for the Presidential nomination, and
that he could not carry the State for
anything. In Now York State it is
said that as a result of tho business of
the Baines bill a Democratic State
ticket is sure to be elected. The change
of alTairs in South Carolina will have
but little, if any, effect on the Stat".
Government.
Every ono in Now York was on tho
tiptoe of expectation on tho eve of the
chango in Now York, whon tho freo
lunches and front door screens had to
go under tho provisions of tbo bill,
whilo with tho new order of things in
South Carolina the change oame about
as naturally as the most COmtnon-plaOQ
law goes into operation.
With the exception of those im
mediately Interested in tho offices and
tbo sales of goods to tho dispensary,
few took any interest in what was
going on in the bourn meeting. They
want to seo tho results of the change.
Under the provisions of the Aot
under which tho board is operating
there aro five members, and the terms
of office vary from one to fiv>> years, ??<>
as to keep tome of tho members on the
board while changes of the others may
bo mado oaeb year by the General
Assembly. As the members of the
now board wero oleoted without, llxing
their terms it was in order to draw
lots for tho periods for which oaoii of
tho mombors should servo.
Tho result was : W. A. Nicholson,
ono ytar; T. M. Allan, two veas; J. T.
Douthit, threo years; Col. WUVo Jones,
four years, and* Loon J. WjUidm*, live
years. Col. Jones, tho local mombor
of tho bourd, was elected chairman of
tho body and a better selection could
not possibly have been mude. The
board after talking over mutters for
some tlmo wont into the election of the
btuff officers to can y out tho work of
tho board and re-elected all of thi
present attaches, only changing tho
names of tho places to conform tu the
new law. The appointees were : Clerk
of the board and bookkeeper of tho
board, Seth W. Scruggs, bookkeeper
to tho commissioner, R. K. Blakeney :
assisteut bookkoppcr, Chas. Lyuch ;
Huperintondcnt, John T. Gastou ; clerk
in charge of the constabulary, W*< W.
Harris ; shipping clerk, D. A. U. Out/..
Of course, the board had nothing to do
with tho commissioner as his term of
olllce continues a year longer.
The new board held afternoon and
night sessions, but not much was givin
out for publication. The board seems
to bo hard working and getting along
very harmoniously. At the afternoon
sessiou a series of rules were adopted
for the government of the dispensary
and these will likely bo given out as
soon as they are prepared for the press
and printed. At tho night session the
purchase of liquor was considered by
the board. There were about eighteen
representatives of liquor houses on
hand and it was thought better to re
ceive written offers from each of the
houses represented than to hear them
and so the board took up the offers,
but no linal action was taken.
THK NEW BOARD OF t'ONTHOh.
The Dispensary Law is I'm Into
Operation I!mier the Changed Aus
pices.
The new and amended dispensary
law went into operation on the 1st of
April, and the Columbia Register
tells of tho threatened complications
which were happily ended after all :
It is not often nowadays that tho
olliee seeks the man, and especially is
tliis assertion true of offices in South
Carolina, where tho office generally
goes to the man who seeks it most per
sistently and vigorously. An election
at the last session of th<- General As
sembly furbishes an exception to this
rule in South Carolina. When the
Legislature elected a hoard of control
under the new dlsponsary law, there
were a number of candidates for posi
tions of that board, but a majority of
its members wore elected without any
effort on their part, and one, Mr. W.
A. Nicholson, of Uni?n, was elected
without his having been asked if he
would consent to SOrvo. Several days
ago it was rumored around Columbia
that Mr. Nicholson, on account of the
pressure of iiis banking business and
for other reasons, was averse to ac
cepting his election and serving on the
hoard. Had he rofusbed to serve, mat
ters would have been much complicat
ed and it was even feared that the law
itself would have been invalidated, as
it provides that tho entire board shall
meet and organi/.e and take, charge of
the dispensary business, of course, if
:>no of tho members refused to serve,
it would he a physical impossibility
for the entire hoard to meet and com
ply with the provisions of tho new dis
pensary act. Nor could Governor
fOvans have HI led Ike vacancy by ap
pointment) for tho act does not give
ihe Governor power to (ill vacancies
irisingon the board from any cause
whatever. Under the constitution he
baa general powers of appointment in
?ortain cases, but a vacancy on the
board of control could not by any pos
sibility be regarded as one of those
jases. in this omorgoncy Govornor
Kvans promptly opened uommunicti
ion- with Mi*. Nicholson aud went to
Union to confer with him. Mr. Niobol
?on is an exceedingly patriotic, man,
who always considers the good of the
State in proform a: to his own privat'
jomfort, and when the Govornor ex
plained to him what Would bo the
iffeot and possible danger of his do
mination to servo, he promptly agroed
Mat, no matter how ludispo.-cd to
servo, nor how much he would lie in
jonvencod by serving, ho would acoepi
he place, for I.lie pi" sen!. This patch
>tic dcoisioi) by Mi'. Nicholson re
?uu'es all danger to the, now dispen
sary law and it will go intoctfcct with
mt' any hitch.
There was a I'utnoi' to the eil -et thai
Mr. T. M. Allen, of York County, who
was elected muoh in the same manuor
us was Mr. Nicholson, was also in
nlincd to docllue to accept his eloclton.
This rumor could not he confirmed and
little crcdenco was placed in It at the
Siate House. Almost undoubtedly, if
he has any such inclination, when the
effect of it is presented to him as it
was presented to Mr. Nicholson, he
will imitate his example and servo tho
Stall-, even at inconvenience to himself.
The new dispensary law is infinitely
superior to the old one, and it will bo
a thousand pities if any sue* hitch
should prevent its going into opera
tion.
? An attempt was made on Thursday
nignt to wreck the capitol building at
Jackson, Mi-.-. At. 10 o'clock that
night whiloCol. J. L.l'owor, Seorotary
of State, was.ongagcd in his office at
the captol, he heard a noise- outside.
Going to tho window he saw several
men digging at tho walls. His appear
twice frightened away the men and an
investigation showed that two pieces
of StOno about two feet square had hoc 11
romoved from the wall. Had tho work
gone on a litte. lonJfOl' a section of tho
wall aho.it four by twenty feet would
have falicn, thus wrecking the. whole

How Parent* Can Help Teachers an?!
iteiieltt Tlieir Children.
Tho boy ma familiar object as he pre
sents himself tot ho fostering euro of the
teacher, on a Mouday moruing, about
tho tirstfof Septombor, bliortly after
his sixth birthday. With what au in
quiring gaze does ho look up into bia
teacher's face on that memorable ?rat
day of school. Ho has a proud air of
solf-assuranee. His face is round and
rosy, and, as this is au extra occasion,
for the present, clean. Astheassayer
analyzes a bit of ore to determine tho
relation of the familiar elements, so
tho teacher brings the hoy under hor
focal range and determines whether or
not his education has truly bogun.
Whether she will have to battle
against habits wrongly formed, or
nourish the embryonic character al
ready developed In the Ur?t school a
child attends?home. Somebody has
said "the best part of education ia
that which money cannot purchase."
It is providi d by the child's first teach
ers -parents ; and is only made com
pulsory by. its author -Oed. This
school always keep-, and never changes
teachers but for one cause -death. It
has no holidays. Sunday is an Illumi
nation of all tho othor day*. Its lo*^ .
sons are practical and fuudam< rital,^*
destined to outlast life Itself in that
thoy relate not only to the hotly but
the soul a* w< 11. Th s school a (fords
the same opportunities o tlie po >r as
to the rich. All may form habits and
establish principles here for the forma
tion of a oharuotor Influenced only by
tho higher alms and purposes in life,
and fortified ugaibst the discourage
monta of present misfortunes or evil
Influences. Society, tlio church and
state receive the Impress of the first
school lift;.
There oughtto lie complete harmony
between home and school, creating a
mutual helpfulness. But, alas, bow
often one intereferes with the true
mission of tho other. Home furnishes
had hoys and girls to disturb and do*
stroy the highest function of the school,
and tho latter often half doe- the work
it is pledged to do. Thus in the es
tranged relation society Millers a loss
that cannot be estimated.
Ohedionco at home tends to obe
dience in school, and home and school
become mutually helpful as they re
quire and cultivate obedience. U the
pupil does not receive a reverence for
the tOPOher from the paternal lips,
but instead is made to appear an ob
ject of suspicion, an antagonistic feel
ing will bo imbued gn ally tfl the dis
advantage of the pupil and the. teach
er's work. On the other har.il. pupils
vho receive no higher conception of
home by an attendance at school, no
lessons that magnify the missions of
parents and filial duties of children, do
not become UiOI'3 obedient sons and
daughters in consequence of their at
tendance at school.
A friend gives the following, which
serves to illustrate the point: "In my
