in the firm ut a cost of more than il
quarter of million dollars to me. at
the end OF weeks contest the suit
ended in Mr. Hands favor, and bis
interest in our firm was thus saved from
confscation. AS South Carolina was
not comfortable home for one suspec-
ted of Union sentiments, Mr.. Hand
decided to leave the South, never to re-
turn,
HOW MIR. WILLIAMS SAVED HIs PRO-
pERTY.
Before leaving, however, he contided
all of his interests in the South to me,
to be held and managed as my own,
and in case Of further attempts at con-
hscation to be regarded as my iudivi-
dual property. The real estate was all
in my name. The interests thus contid-
ed to me had the same care, and were
managed as my own. / am gratitied to
know that of Mr. Hands fortune Of
more than two million dollars one
million that l saved for him has been
returned to the South, to be held as a
perpetual fund to educate the colored
people.
'I did hope to get from Mr.. Hand i
subscription for our new hotel Of half Il
million dollars. He wrote me that he
was now too old and infrm to engage
in new enterprises.'

Another Letter to Mr.. ". a. Hill.
NEwBERRY, S. c.
October d 1883.

NEWBEREf, >. !.
October "A, 1883.
Mr., ". A. Hill, Dear Sir:-Our OBJ
iect is not controversy but information.
We regret that your reply is not salts
factory, since it does not CIV, the M
formation which we seek. Inc only
object Of our communication was 10
ascertain whether you referred TO any
of the undersigned as ''lrresponslbie
vouchers"
We learn from your letter that you
are not the author of the resolutions,
but YOU fail to tell us who is or II you
did not know him to tell Us who placed
them in your hands. We desire to
know the author. He applies the term
IRRESPONSIBLE to all who vouched LOT
negroes voting at the late primary eltc-
ton and we take the position that he Is
the only one who can tell what he
meant by the Objectionable language
used, unless you, after Knowing VINO
the vouchers are, mean to apply tue
term to some or all of them. 1tyou uo,
saw so; if YOU refer to all say SO, but II
only to some ofthenl, state which ones.
You frankly state that you dld not
know at the time who the vouchers
were or anything of the truthfulness OF
the charge against them. Conslderable
time has since elapsed, you have hao
opportunity to investigate the ma'ter
and are now probably ready to make the
decision whether there isany foundation
in fact for the charge. Hence this second
letter of inquiry to obtain the lnloriha-
ton which YOU have and when may
enable us to learn from the eauthor.hl MN
self to whom he referred, and what ne
meant by the words 'lrresponslole
vouchers" We know you can give US
the desired information in part, to
wit: Who placed the resolutions IN
YOUR hand? We also know that "equal
and exact justice" to all men as Well as
YOUR ''integrity, truthfulness. and hon
esty of purpose" demands OF you Sn
uneuuivocal answer.
We are unwilling to believe that you
will eyade our question, or that you
will knowingly do injustice to any OF
Your fellow-citizens, much less your
| friends. We cannot believe that you
will deliberately refuse to lnlpart tc
YOUR friends under so grave ana Nlise
charge Information Whlch lusIlce ~
Yourself as we'll as to them calls inlpera
lively upon you to disclose. If tine au;
thor be one of those ''reputable and
trustworthy citizens referred to in youl
| letter he certainly has TOO much man,
hood and love of justice to hide behind
YOU after you have disclalmed any
| knowledge of the truthfulncss OF the
charge made. ,o
Now, in conclusion, we wish to re-
mind you that we are called IN tnt
resolutions irresponsible vouchers
and it is to this particular charge tha'
we are attempting to direct your at
tention. We have nothing to 90 WITH
the other charges, as none other car
refer to US. Trusting that you VIII no.
hesitate to comply with our most reas
| oo,Lla raIuaSt we are.

allegiance between Great Britain and
theJnited States, because of the treaty
of naturalization of May IL, 1870. 1t
also calls attention to, the section of the
revised statutes which imposes penal
ties on .Americanseitizens who carry on
intercourse or correspondence with any
foreign government or officers OH any
subject in controversy, and suggests
that the general investigate
this case.
It then concludes by calling atten-
ton to the fact that by direction of the
President the Secretary Of State in
formed the British government OF It's
minister's conduct, and that therefore
all comities have been settled, and 1t
now remains that his government will
not have any further intercourse with
Mr.. West. The fact is suggested that
ministers are not allowed to remain III
countries ifthe government thereof has
objections.

present at the time, that I was not un-

I was thoroughly competent to make the
examination. Since you have taken
the trouble to publish SO much as you
did last week, l hope you will do as
much the present week and publish
what DR.. Kibler testified in reply. DR..

A STRONG REMINDER.
Congressman Cothran Gives Some 0ooo
Advice to the Voters of His District.

70 the Democratic voters or the
Third Congressional District: ,
Owing to the protracted session OF
CONGRESS I was unable to visit you
during the recent campaign for State
and county officers, as was my purpose
and desire to do.
We are now almost upon the eve OF
the Presidential election-the result OF
which is of more vital interest to the
South than any other section OF the
Union. If Harrison and Morton
should be elected and the Republicans
secure control of the next House OF
Renresentatives, every Democratic
Conoress,nan from South Carolina who
has anv opposition would be unseated,
Notwithstanding the fact that they
would hold the certificate OF election.
The Republicans assume that every
nepro voter in the State is a Repuoll,
con and the census Of 1850 furnishes all
warrant thev require for giving every
contested seat to the Repuolicah con-
testantS.
It is certain that in some of the miu-
die. and all of the lower counties OF tne
State, the Republicans have registered
elmost to man, and an active polltl-
caI still hunt is now going on there.
DO not conclude from the fact that sucn
| is NOT the case with US, that there IS no
need for activity on your part, and so
stay away from the polls next Tues.
day. You cannot afford in matter OF
so great importance to take any risks
vhatever. Your heaviest possible vote
WOW. he raouired. along with that OF
the upper counties of the State, to OH
set the possible majority OF the lower
country.
The exercise of your right of suffrage
is both a privilege and duty, and the
neglect Of it, where disaster comes from
defeat. is nothing short Of crime.
The members Of Congress from South
Carolina are often twitted with the
mearreness of the votes by which they
are elected, from 1000 to 5000 votes
usually, whilst the number of votes IN
each Congressional district is not far
short of 10000, including both races. .,
It is due to your Representatives, II
in YOUR Judgment they deserve 1T, tc
have the Endorsement at the polls OF
every Democratic voter in their re-
spective districts.
Turn out then, my fellow-eitizens'
turn out en- nasse on next 1uesaay,
and exercise the right and privilege
and sacred duty of freemen.
"The price Of liberty IS eterhal 'lsi'
lance.n ,.u

citizen, j.: .. Soin no 300

THE ELECTION.

The general election is only ie"
sdavs off. The result Of the balloting OF
the people of this great country on next
Tuesday will determine who is to oe
President ofthis country for the next
four years. Everybody nearly is calcu-
lating and guessing at the result. 1t Is
very difficult thing to approximate
with any degree of certainty. The de-
cision Of most persons is made up ana
biased by party affiliations or personal
desires. Democratic newspapers ana
voters predict the election OF Cleveland
With equal confidence do Republican
newspapers and voters count on the sue
cess of Harrison. We publish this week
the views of an independent newspaper
The opinion of this journal is that New
York is not especially a doubtful State
and that It is possible for either candl-
date to be elected without the electoral
vote CT this State, although it IS prob
able that the successful candidate will
have New York. If the Democrats
carry New York, We believe they are
sure of victory. Without 1t we greatly
doubt their ability to elect their noml-
nees. It is said that President CleVe-
land feels quite sure of carrying New
York
The duty of South Carolina voters IS
to 60 to the polls and cast their ballots
and give their State to the Democrats
by an overwhelming majority. 1T IS
said the Republicans intend TO vote all
they can in this State, and failure on
the part of Democrats to turn out
might endanger the safety of the party
in this State. We believe our people
will turn out and vote. The county
ticket and the State ticket are safe, for
there will be no opposition with US.
We admire one thing in this CAM
paign, and that is the diguIfied conduct
ofPresident Cleveland throughout. He
has gone about his busi css as if moth
ingwere going on in which he was in
terested. You never could have known
from his actions that he was candi-
date. He is willing to trust the people
and will gracefully submit to their de-
cision, whateverit may be. He isa man
and will go down to history~>as one
araong the greatest of Presidents.

Earthquake Felt in Massachusetts.

New BEDFORD, October 29.-This
city was visited by two well-defned
earthquake shocks last night. At the
Weld street police station the shocks
were felt at ll.25, and were preceded
by rumbling sound, and three dis
tinct oscillations were felt, followed by
trelnulous movements. Policemen and
others who were on the street say that
the movement was preceded by two re-
ports not unlike those of a heavy gun
or thunder, and then came distinct
movement of the ground. The shocks
were distinctly felt across the Acusnet
in Fair Haven.

Especial to Columbia Register. I

ASDERsoN, October 25.-The cases of
ofthe State against Mrs. Mollie Keese-
two for forgery and two for arson-were

to-day. The defense stated that us Il
material witness in one of the forgery
cases was absent, they could not go to

The Solicitor then stated that, as ac-
coriing to his theory the arson case
grew out Of the forgery, and as it had
been continued, he would ask the Court
tocontinue them also. Major Murray
and Mr.. T. NJ. Mordeeai, counsel for
the defense, earnestly requested the
Court to hear the arson case; but after
short deliberation his Honor continued
all Of the cases tothe next term ofcourt.

answer to Your T0rmer communication
would have been satisfactory. | regret
that it was not. I had hoped for the
sake of peace, and the good of the
Democratic party, that this thing was
done with. But in justice to myself, |
feel it my duty, as the Godfather OF
those resolutions, to shirk no RESPONSE
bility, attaching to them. And [ am
now determined to sift this matter to
the bottom. The people Of Newberry
County shall know if there is any vir-
tue in those resolutions. If it is true,
that any of you did vouch for Rcpubli-
can negroes as Democrats / am the
man who says that such voucher is
an irresponsible voucher" would
not knowingly misrepresent or do all
injustice to anyone. But the truth will
triumph. The truth must come. Those
resolutions must stand or fall, on their
truthfulness or untruthfulness. If un-
true, am not the man to, charge any
of you gentlemen with being "irrespon-
sible vouchers" If untrue, I am not
the man to bolster up misrepresenta-
ton and injustice against my friends

less than a man to comply with your

gentlemen that this will be satisfactory
for the present, l remain yours respect
