To the Editor of The Herald and
News:-Allow me few lines in reply
to the garrulous letter of your editorial
correspondent in last weeks issue.
Were an applicant for the New
berry postoffice, should be so openly,
and would not question the right Of the
papers to give the fact as much publici-
ty as they might see fit. But as l am
not an applicant, Notwithstanding the
oft-repeated solicitations ofmany Of our
b-st citizens to bccome such, I do not
see why my name should be hawked
before the public in connection there
with.
If Mr.. w. w. Russell has made
use of my name in that connection II
has been without my knowledge or
consent. l do not know Mr.. Russell
personally at all, and we have had no
communication whatever on the sub
let. But I have no idea that be will
have gone further than, perhaps, to
mention my name IS that of a we'll
known and respectable Republican at
Newberry belonging to the Caucasian
race, Collector Smalls and Henry Ken
nedy to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Nv only desire in this matt n Is that
Newbcrry should be able to retain and,
if not, to obtain a capable and satisfac-
tory postmaster, and nothing else
would prompt me to bccome an appli-
cant for the position.

IN ALLIANCE UNIFORM.
Only a Few Bales Co.:on Covered Cotton
Received thus Far, and those not
Satisfactory.
News and Courier.

Several bales of cotton came into the
city yesterday clad in regulation Alli-
ance uniform, cotton bagging. Only a
verv few bales in cotton have come in
as yet, and the bagging does not come
up to the standard Of the samples sent
to the Exchanges last year. The strand
of which it is woven is much smaller
and will not stand 50 much rough hand
ling.
The fsrmerS n several sections Of the
State are complaining that they cannot
yet it in sufficient quantities to keep up
with the demand. The consequence is
that they are compelled to use jute
where they would otherwise boycott
that article entirely. In many OF the
counties they have exhausted all that
their agents can get just now, and there
seems to be all element of doubt In
volved as to whether they can get any
more at all during this season. Only a
few mills are making it, although il is
expected that next ear the majority
of the mills in the South will be pre-
pared to furnish as much as might be
called for. The demand this season
was somewhat Of a surprise, and no
provision had been made to manufac-
ture the new article.
4 great many calculations have been
made and published as to the losses the
farmers will sustain by the use of cotton
bagging, but these do not seem to effect
the demand at all; the farmers seem
willing to lose something rather than
patronize the Jute Trust.
The alleged circulars Of the National
Alliance, advising the farmers to hold
on to their cotton during September,
do not seem to he having any effect, as
the crop is beginning to come in quite
rapidly. After the 1st of Septem Der all
cotton is classed as new crop, and from
present indications it does not seem
that any Of it is being held back, The
railroads are fearing nothing OF the
kind, and are making all their arrange,
nents to handle great quantity OF
cotton this fall. AS was announced IN
The News and Courier last week, they
are overhauling their rolling stock, and
will be ready for the rush as soon as it
comes.

THE LAND QUESTION.

We, in the United States, with our
vast domain, our millions Of acres Of
publlc lands, and our sparse popula-
ton, are in the habit of thinking that
the land question will never be ofprac-
tical Importance here, or ifso, that at
any rate it will not press for solution
for several generations to come.
But the article on our first page, from
the New York Herald, contains some
startling facts and figures, which may
we'll cause uneasiness.
We are astounded when we come to
investigate the matter, at the rapidly
with which our public lands are being
placed beyond the reach of actual
settlers seeking homesteads, and at the
alarming tendency of small holdings to
be absorbed by the larger.
TO the land monopoly, Henry
George, and others who have given the
subject study, attribute all the socia
evils of the age, and to a proper solu-
ton of the land question, they look to
usher in the social millennium when
poverty, suffering and no crime shall
longer exist. Henry George thinks
that the abolition of private property
in land is the proper solution of the
question, and as step in this direction
he proposes to concentrate all taxation
upon land values.
A writer in the National Review
saws that his scheme has been tried in
Russia on a gigantic scale and has
proved a failure. twenty-five years
ago. when the Russian serfs were
emancipated, a certain proportion OF
land was allotted to each one, and every
few years redistribution takes place,
so that every man has chance at the
land. Under this communal system it
is found that one-third of the rural
population have become paupers, and
this class is continually increasing.
But the very facts and figures given
in this article in the National Review
show that the communal system is a
very partial thing. Two-thirds of the
land is still held by large proprietors,
and moreover, the present class among
whom the communal system is in
operation are burdened with all the
taxation.
Whatever may be the cause, there
can certainly be no doubt that our so
cial and economic adjustments are out
| of gear. All over this country we have
seen in the last twenty-five years co
lossal fortunes built up, vast areas o1
land passing into the hands of a few
| men, while pauperism, and its ineVl
table attendant, crime, have increased
to an alarming extent.
We of the-South have our hands fulI
with the race problem, but this sinks
into insignifcance, in the face OF the
conflict which is inevitable throughout
the civilized world between labor ano

A BASE BALL TRAGEDY.
Serious aud Fatal Injury Of an Umpire by "A
Son of Congressman Dargan.
1SDecial TO the Sunday News. |


CHARLOTTE, August ls.-News is
received here of a very sad affair in
Darlington, $. G., Yesterday. A base
ball team from Wadesboro, this State,
Yesterday went over to Darlington to
play q game with the team of that
town. Wadesboro carried with them
VIM. Marshall, son of Capt. James T.
Marshall, of Wadesboro, to umpire the
game.
During the playing of the first game
Umpire Marshall made 4 decision that
did not give satisfaction to the Darling
ton team. Hot words were passed, and
suddenly young Leon Dargan, son Of
Congressman Darsln, OF South Caro-
lima, rushed up with heavy bat in his
hand and struck Umpire Marshall a
fearful blow across the head, knocking
him insensible tothe ground.
At this juncture it seemed that
general and serious riot would begin,
but cool heads prevailed and the sad
affair ended. Young Marshall was
taken to Wadesboro OF the first train,
but during the trip did not recover his
reason. He is a very popular young
man at home and held the position OF
teller i'm the bank at Wadesboro.
Young Dargan was arrested yester-
day, but as Marshalrs wound did not
then appear SO serious, he was released
on five handred dollars bail. Aspeclal
telegram tonight from Wadesboro to
your correspondents says that MarshalPs
physicians now regard his condition
very critical, and have but little hope
for his recovery.
DEATH OF THE BASE BALL UMPIRE
Especial to News and Courier.l
CHARLOTTE, Sept. SIN spite of the
very best medical aid, William Mar
shall died last night at his nome IN
Wadesboro, the victim of a blow infict-
ed by base ball bat in the hands of a
young son of Congressman Geo. w.
Dargan, at Darlington last Friday. His
funeral was conducted at Wadesooro
to-day. 1t is learned that the friends
of Marshall will see to it that Dargan
is vigorously prosecuted, at the same
time the defence will employ the very
best talent in the country.
