We all know that every man has the
right to use and enjoy bis property
just as he chooses, provided, in doing
so, he does not injure his neighbor
in the use and enjoyment of his prop
erty. For instance, I have the right
to dam a stream and make pond on
my own land; but who would say I
had the right to food my neighbor's
field or house, by backing water on
him9 IF that were law could drown
him out every time he made me mad.
It may be lawful, but not in accor-
dance with common sense, for me to
do so. It seems then to US the only
question is, dees the soater backed up
against the causeaoay By the railroad do
the damage? If it does the railroad
should be made to build more cul-
verts; if it does not the railroad is
not at fault.

Florence county is having a dis
gustingly dirty primary canvass. The
first campaign meeting was held last
Saturday week ago at Hinson. At
ter the candidates who had declared
themselves as candidates had spoken,
L. S. Bigham took the stand and
made a speech an hour and half
long. He made pretty heavy charges
against Clerk of Court 2. T. Kershaw
and Sheriff E. ". johnson. Kershaw
promptly hurled the lie in Bigham's
teeth. Bigham insisted he was tell,
ing the truth, and Kershaw insisted
that he was lying, and SO the meeting
ended. If such is. kept up the mo-
notonousness of the campaign may be
relieved by little pistol practice.

product and other regulations of trade:
Again, who can tell that the planters would
have been allowed the present rate of ten
cents for jute bagging with the cotton bag
ging competition out of the way? Twenty
i've per cent added to the present price OF
lutte would put jute at twelve and half cents
instead of ten, which would wipe out the
whole difference between cotton and jute COW

the farmers have formed their Alliance, and
if they had not moved in this matter they
would have had to pay in all possibly 10

The organization which this jute fight in
spires IS above all valuation. The sentl-
ment involved is no idle thing. 1t is what
every great ruler in the world has recognized
as an essential factor in human government
and as that which to certain extent is un-
conquerable. To raise the cry ofno jute, is
to call the roll of the Southern farmers and
array them for the first time as one body on
the line of self-defense and self-protectlon.

cents to the bale between jute and cotton

IHEALLlANcE ARGUMENT.

The Farmers Are Engaged in Righteous
Cause, with q Bright Prospect Of
Success.
The Farmers Alliance argument against
the use of jute, from one point of view, is
not sound; from another it is sound to the
bottom. As mere matter Of money at
present prices, loss of 6fty-one cents to
the bale of cotton is admitted on the face of
things.
The offset of the home consumption OF q
hundred and fifty thousand bales of raw
cotton which is put up against the four mil
lion dollars greater cost of cotton cloth bag
ging as compared with jute bagging, from
one point Of view is specious.
BOTH SIDES OF THE QUESTION.
Admitting that taking this one hundred
and fifty thousand bales out of the worlds
present consumption will raise the price OF
cotton by quarter of cent, the same
thing could be done by growing that much
less cotton. And with that area converted
into some other production. the pecuniary
results reached would be better.
At the average rate OF production it would
take 400, 900 acres to produce this one hun
dred and fifty thousand bales of cotton.
Putting such an area say in corn, with the
average production of fourteen bushels to
the acre for the ten Cotton States, we see
5, 900, 900 bushels of corn as the product,
which at the average farm price given by
the United States Department Report OF
56.7 cents per bushel shows over s., OOO, 600
in corn. quarter of q cent on the largest
crop yet reported would reach some Sc, ,OOO,-
600, and not ten million as assumed by the
Alliance. This three million dollars OF corn
made, carried to the enhanced price Of the
cotton crop, would show over sl1 ,OO0,O00
which carried to the amount saved by using
iute would show sl5,00U,0O0, which the
farmers would havein pocket against 81, O00.-
600 after deducting the greater cost of using
the cotton bagging, which shows a loss OF
Sl1 900 900 to the farmers in hard money.
But from another point OF view the position
of the Alliance is strong and unansweable.

is not only good morals but good political
economy. Our farmers will find in the end
that they cannot hold the plough and keep
shop at the same time It is none the less
absolutely necessary that they should see to
it that they are not eaten up, body and but
tons, by the cost of advances, and take such
steps as they shall find necessary to protect
them from extortionsl rates in the advances
needed.
Looking the matter all over, we do not
expect to see the Alliance interfere harmful
ly with the general trade of the South. AS
soon as the farmers begin to get their own,
it will be impossible to keep this money
from freely going into trade for the thousand
and one comforts and Injuries which the
families of the farmers will want as soon as
a comparative prosperity shall be felt in our
great farming class. And that will mean
better business all round for everybody and
cheaper money.
We are convinced that the farmers are on
the right line, and if they keep politics ont
of their association that they will prove n
a power in the land which will be blessing
to the over-reached and down -trodden South.
There may be some mistakes made, but IN
the end things will work for the good Of all,
with the mean ambitions of the meaner men
pushed to the wall. Columbia Register.

opc.S,zn ON BUSINESS PRINCIPLES.

Jute is but one of the burdens the farm
e,s have borne unnecessarily. Should the
farmers organize on strictly business pERs
cinles and not attempt too mapyssdIngs at
once, they must reach substantial success in
the end.
In the matter 81 advances the farmers
have suffered .96el exac.ions, which has not
only kept Heir noses to the gr!ndstone, but
has hampered trade in the South and stayed
the nroGrzss Of ttis Section Of the Union In
many directions. The seven thousand mil
lion dollars of cotton made since the war
has been spirited away from the farmers
and LARGELY from the South, so that this vast
production. which would have once and
under other auspices proved steady tide OF
cold to the South, tending to the develop
Tent of all our rich resources, has oeen
terned in other channels, and the South has
tobep for capital when she should have
been Independent of the world to-day for
her building money. 1t IS low estimate to
say That at least ten per cent. has been taken
out or. our cotton product since the war
which Should have remained with the farm
ers at fair and Just rates for advances made
them. We thus see over twelve millions OF
bales or some seven hundred million dollars
gone out Of oul ~ orking capital which ohould
have remained herein some business shape
The reports of the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington have warmly animad-
yerted on this matter, urging with perfect
truth that the cotton producers OF this coun-
try have had to bear burden which no
business on earth could successfully carry.
That the planters have stood the pressure
so long shows the wonderful resources OF
our section and the grit of our planting class
as well.
If in dealing with this matter the Alliance
should interfere with the general trade OF
the South it could not be esteemed other
wise than great misfortune.

NEW YORK, August 20.-Peter Jackson,

at Mike Shines circus, Fourth avenue and
Fourteenth street, for four round friendly
bout. "ParsOn" Davies, JacksOn's bscker,
stated that there would be no slugging, as
Inspector Williams was present
Looked at from fighters standpoint,
the match was farce. Jackson hit his
man when and where he pleased, and
Fallon seemed utterly incompetent to stop
the cOlored mans blows. Ia the first round
he struck out few times for his man, but
came no nearer landing than if he struck
for the Bartholdi Statue. Fallonis third
clsss fighter, and has no more reason to
stand against the Australian than the
belfast Spider" has against John L. Sui
livan.
Jackson has a tremendous reach and has
science coupled with it. FallOn hiss
short reach and very little science. In the
second, third and fourth round he coca
sionslly touched his man, but the blows
lacked force, for the simple reason that
Jackson could always manage to get away
from him and send in heavy neck blow
in return.
Davies leaves for England tomorrow on
the City of Rome with Jackson, his train
er, and Fallon and his wife. He is not
entirely pleased with Fallon's work, but
is Of the opinion that after Jackson has
used him for punching beg a couple of
weeks, he will improve enough to make
decent showing before an English audi
ence.
FallOn is a man who has made much of
a reputation secured by besting DOminick

BALTIMORE, Md, August 2O.-SpOrting
circles were exercised last night over ru-
mors that Kilrain, the pugilist, had left
town, snd that his bond of 81 600 would
be forfeited. He was not a. home, but
his friends say that he has no intention Of
evading the law, inasmuch as he knows
that even should he be convicted and SEN
fenced he would never serve days time
in Mississippi prison.
Jake understands the situation exact
ly,n said Detective Cbids this evening,
land will accompany me to Mississippi to-
morrow. He will not wait until Thurs
day when mis- case comes up on a writ OF
babeas corpus. I have had long talk
with him, and he knows that neither he
nor Sullivan will ever serve es much as one
month in prison. The same mode OF pro
ceduGe a3 that practiced in Sullivsn's case
will be followed in Kilrain's. An appeal
will be taken, and by the time the case
comes up for action it will be practically
abandoned. Governor Lowry is not 50
much after Sullivan and Kilrain az he Is
after the railroad people, but ne cannot
get at ths accessories without first showing
up the principals. You mark what 1 tell
you, Jake will 20 with me, and he can be
