AT THE MERCY OF THE TRUST.
The Jute Manufacturers have the Farmers
by the Throat-No Help for Them.
Especial to Register.


Just now the Cotton Bagging Trust
is most fruitful theme of conversation
on Change. Itmay be as we'll for the
readers of the Register who make cot
ton to understand the situation. Some
farmers in their just indignation
against this most outrageous imposi-
ton are resorting to all sorts of devices
to do withoutjute bagging. There is,
however, no help for them except in
Congress. They are obliged to use jute
bagging or withhold their cotton from
market. Of course, those who can sell
their cotton to the local factories can
bale it as they please, but cotton which
is sent to any seaport must be baled IN
jute bagging.
A case in point occurred here to-day.
Eight bales of cotton baled in what is
known as gunny bags were rejected by
the shippers as understandable. The
man who shipped them will have to
pay for their rebaling here, and so will
every other farmer who ships his cot
ton to a port not baled in jute bagging.
If any factor writes to farmer to send
his cotton along in any kind of cover
ing, the farmer, if he is wise, will not
do it. In order to be shipped, cotton
must be baled in jute bagging, and the
farmer need not be told that he has got
to pay for the bagging, whether he
knows it or not.
The lutte manufacturers have the
farmers by the throat and there is no
help for him. The talk about pine
straw bagging is purely ephemeral. A
verv good article Of the kind is manu-
factured at Wilmington, but one fac
tory can hardly supply material enough
for a county, let alone thirteen States.
The farmers only hope is in Congress.
IfCongress would come to their help
quickly by placing jute bagging on the
free list, there might be some hope OF
relief; but in order to afford any relief
the action must be prompt and quick.
There does not seem to be any proba-
bility of it, however.
This is the situation plainly stated,
and it would be as well for farmers to
stare it in the face. It is pretty hard
lines that the whole agricultural COM
munity of the South should be at the
mercy of combination composed of a
dozen manufacturers, but it is one OF
the inevitable results of the protective
tariff. The squeeze, it will be remem-
bered, was not thought of until jute
was put on the free list in the Mills bill.
That frightened the manufacturers.
They saw in it the possibility of new
factories springing up and of bagging
going down in price, and then they
combined. The only remedy is to ad-
NIT jute bagging free, and until this is
done the farmers will have to submit
to the squeeze unless they can afford to
hold their cotton.

ashamed of; especially as these votes,
coming from among the very best peo-
ple of the county, were given without
resorting to fraud, without being car
ried by corrupt practices, without being
influenced by the use Of whiskey,
money or the employment of any un-
fair means.
I shall ever be proud fthis large and
honest vote given to me in the way

forced, but honestly and fairly given to
ne. l shall also be proud Of the good
behavior of my friends shown on every

not. The exact meaning of the Con-
vention is not clear in the resolution
The Executive Committee appointed a
meeting in each Congressional District,
and Gov. Richardson has spoken at
each appointment. Col. B: ". Ed
wards, who seems to be partly candi-
date, We believe spoke at two Of these
appointments. Capt. B. r. Tillman,
who says he is not candidate, spoke
at several, if not all, ,ofthe appointments.
We do not believe that provision neces-
sarily binds the Convention to-day to
Richardson, yet what was the sense of
putting him or any other candidate to
the trouble of making this canvass and
then select man from the field. The
sentiment against Gov. Richardson's
nomination seems to bein the majority
in Newberry County, judging from the
Convention on Saturday. We hear in
our own county no fault to find with
Gov. Richardson or anything against
him.
They seem to desire change and a
strong nti-Richardson delegation has
been sent to the State Convention. We
have believed all along and still believe
that Gov. Richardson will be renomi-
mated in Columbia to-day, along with
the whole of the present State ticket.
Several counties, however, have sent
anti-Richardson delegations and it is
hard TO tell what strength they will de-
velop.

SALUDA n. c.. August 29.-The
TRANQUILITY Of Saluda was greatly dis
turbed last night when it became
known that a party of sight-seers had
failed to put. in an appearance. The
missing persons We're Mrs. Firth, Miss
Firth, Miss McCartey and Platt
Cowan, the last mere lad.
They left Saluda yesterday morning
for Pot Shoals, a wild and almost inac'
cessible point. Having no guide, they
lost their way and wandered about
until nightfall, when they proceeded to
make bash shelter, their tools being
two small pocket knives. A rain be-
gan about l. o'clock, which made the
latter part of the night very disagreed
bic.
\ search was instituted Immediately
on hearing the news, and until SO CLOCK
this morning the mountains were
secured for miles around the place
where they were last seen.
A fresh party started out this morn
ing. your correspondent among them,
and when we reached the point where
they had been last seen yesterday, we
heard to our relief that the party ahead
of us had been partially successful,
having found the ladies but not the
boy. He had left them this morning
and crossing the river had wandered
deeper into the mountains.
The search was continued with many
forebodings, as the ladies said his voice
had given out, 50 that he was unable to
answer halloes. He pursued his way,
going farther from Saluda every step,
and at noon reached q house eight
miles away, after traversing the rough
est country around here. Here he made
his first meal for thirty-siX hours.

\ Card from d.. S. Pope.

10 the Editor of The Herald and
News: My attention has been called to
a letter from Newberry in the Co.
lumbia Register of the 18th instant
in which the writer has seen fit
to misrepresent ME. l distinctly
stated to the convention that l had
been nominated in some of the papers
of the State for the office Of Lieuten-
ant Governor, but that IICds not q can
diddte. The writer Of the letter aCds
present and heard my declaration TO
that effect.
/ was opposed to the nomination of
Governor Richardson two years ago,
and but for the sickness OF my brother
would have been present in the con-
vention, and would haze cast my vote
against him. l said nothing i'll that
'.violent speech" derogatory to Gov.
Richardson either as Governor or as
citizen, but I did insist and do now in
sist that there are hundreds of men in
this State just as competent and as de-
serving as he is, and | mentioned the
names Of several Of them.
| desire to state here, once fOrall, that
I was not invited to any caucus nor
was present at any caucus before or
after the meeting Of the convention;
that / acted in the convention upon
my own motion; that after the second
call of the ayes and nays | went over
to Mr.. Scott and told him that the fight
was won, and that he had better get up
a ticket for delegates. \ ticket was
prepared accordingly and my name
was placed at the head of it without
consulting me, except that | suggested
the name of DR.. Carlisle, and when he
declined Mai. DeWalt was substituted.
The defeated resolutions were intro
duced by Col. Miller, Sigh man in
the senatorial race. Mine were adopted,
and + was a Pope man. Three Of the
delegates elected voted for Pope; five
for Sigh. 1t was a fair fight and hon
estly won.
The truth is and cannot be denied,
Newberry County is anti-Richardson.
This is a government Of the people.
The offices belong to them, and not to
any particular man or set OF men.
II I am correctly informed as to the
writer of the article in the Register, he
has received many acts Of kindness ut
my hands, not necessary to mention,
and this is the way he 'repays them.
Misrepresentation is not the weapon of
a gentleman, and no f;,ir-minded man
will sustain one who nisrepresents,
even if he is on his own side. 1T has
been my misfortune often to have been
misrepresented, but have survived it
all and am satisfied that I have the re-
spect and confidence of the people Of
my county.
Those who are so ready to impute
evil motives to others, themselves have
wicked, bad hearts and are constantly
seeing in their minds eye trightful
things in others.
Respectfully,
The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1888-09-06
A HINT TO THE AIKEN CONVENTION
The Unique Way in Which a Deadlock Was
Broken in Missouri.

ST. LoUs, August 30.-The represen-
tatives of the voters of the Seventh
Missouri Congressional District decided
the claims of two candidates for Con-
gress in unique but not popular way
last night. The District is known
throughout the State as the Deadlock
District. There is always fight among
the Democrats aud always a "dead-
lock-" The usual thing happened this
wear. There were four candidates for
the place now filled by Mr.. Hutton. r.
H. Norton of Troy and Judge Robin
son of Franklin were the strongest in
the Convention, but neither had enough
votes to secure the prize. One hundred
ballots were taken Tuesday and We'd
nesday. Then Nat. Dryden, a friend of
Norton, and Sol. Hughlett, represent
ing Robinson, decided on plan to kill
the deadlock. Accompanied by the two
candidates, they repaired to room in
the hotel at Warrington. Each candi-
date put up $1,000 in the hands of a
stakeholder. A silver dollar was pro-
duced. Dryden tipped it in the air and
Hughlett took the $1,000 and Dryden
ruSQeu uO"u Vic Sll!lS dilu OlNSlSO lhS
Chairman to call the Convention to
order. 1t was called forthwith, and
Robinson turned his votes over to Nor
ton and nominated him.
The stories about the money differ.
Some claim that when the agreement
was made to "hip' for the nomination
there was a supplementary agreement
that t;,e winner should pay the eXpen-
ses of the losers preliminary campaign,
estimated tobe 81 900. Another version
is that the 1000 put up by each side
was in the nature of a forfeit to abide
by the decision of the toss up, and to
turn overdelegates enough to nominate,
and third version is that each side put
ups 900 to make pot between which
and the nomination the winner of the
toss up was to take his choice. Some of
the near friends of Norton and Robin
son deny that there was any cash fea-
ture about the affair. Among Norton's
Immediate friends there was great rejoi-
cling over the result. Among the other
delegates. as the facts came out, there
developed feeling that the convention
had put before the voters man heavily
handicapped by a nomination thus
won.

Killed on the Track.

BRADLEY's, S. c., August 30.-This
morning, about s O'Clock, Mr.. r. N.
White, an old and respected citizen of
This section, while walking down the
railroad Oh his way to church, was
thrown from the track by the morning
passenger train, and so badly injured
that he died in about three hours. It
seems singular that the accident should
have occurred, for Mr.. White, though
in his seventy-siXth year, was not hard
of hearing. But at this point in the
road, which is about three miles above
Brad!eys. there is a curved cut, out of
which Mr.. White was just coming.
The train, coming behind him, down
grade and at full speed, was within one
hundred and twenty-five yards of him
before he could be seen. The engineer
at once blew the whistle and reversed
his engine, but it was too late. In a
moment more E1r. White was caught
upon the pilot, and after being carried
about seventy-fve feet, was thrown to
one side OF the track and badly crushed
by the fall.

Not a Waterloo for the Trust.
Augusta Chronicle.

4 bale of cotton packed between
boards and adorned with such devices
painted on the boards as ''Keep your
bagging; we don't need it, down
with the trust" and "Let's beat the
robber ring" attracted great deal of
attention on cotton row yesterday.
The bale was sent by Mr.. J. IT. Norris,
of Waterloo, S. c., and consigned to
Messrs. P. & G. 7. Sibley.
Mr.. Sibley was offered / of a cent
per pound above the market price, less
the weight of the boards, but he re-
fused it.
The plan of packing the cotton in
boards will not work for great many
reasons. In the first place, it can only
be sold to the factories, as the exporters
WON'T touch it. 1t is hard to handle
exceedingly so-and it is thought if it
were compressed the wood could never
be separated from the cotton.

THE STATE CONVENTION.

The State Convention meets inColum-

son is the only candidate for the place
who has declared his candidacy. The
last State Convention passed a resolu-
ton, which we believe is now part Of
the Constitution of the Democratic
party, which was to the effect that can
didates for the position of Governor
and Lieutenant-Governor would be eX-
pected to address the people Of theState,
defining their position on the issues Of

COLUMBIA, Sept. l.-At 10 o'clock

THE SECOND PRIMARY.

The second primary election will be
held in this county next Tuesday. Its
important that there should be full
vote polled at this time so as to get the
will of the majority. Two of the most
important offices in the county yet re-
main to be filled. The County Com
missioners have the checking out Of
the funds and the treasurer is the custo-
diar of the same.
But there is another race to be run
and another candidate to be voted for
at this time which makes it doubly in
cumbent upon all the voters turning
out. County pride should bring every
Democratic voter in the County to the
polls next Tuesday. The nomination
of Solicitor of this Judicial Circuit
has been referred to the primary, and
Newberry has candidate in that race
Col. Osborne L. Schumpert. He was
gallant soldier in the war though but
a boy. For twenty years he has done
noble service for the democracy, work
ing with untiring energy and signal
ability in whatever position he was
placed. He is a true and tried son Of
Newberry. An able advocate, learned
in the law, he would make Solicitor
of whom all New berry would be justly
proud. Then let us, every man, turn
out and cast q vote for O. l.. Schum-
pert for Solicitor If we ever expect to
have anything outside our county we
must pail together. and now is one
time we should do it. There are three
other counties in this Circuit, Laurens,
Spartanburg and Union. Laurens has
candidate, S"'rtanburg has two can
dldates, and Unions candidate, Col.
David johnson, jr., has withdrawn
from the race. Col. Schumpert will
carry nearly all of Union, iaiT vote in
,Laurens and Spartanburg, and with
solid vote in his own county, his
chances are good for the nomination.
We hope our people will take interest
enough in this election to turn out,and
have county pride enough, if nothing
more, to vote for their own home man,
especially when he is the peer,if not the
superior, Of any candidate in the race,
so far as fitness and ability go. This
much is said without disparagenent Of
the claims Of any other of the candi-
dates in the race. They are all good
men so far as we know. R. {. Watts, of
Laurens, H. L. Farley and Stanyarne
