Q'6estions within the party Ind de-
veloped a spirit Of fbitt ttefaess between
the faction and that, too. before the
organization of tho Alliance -such as
would be hurtful to If not absolutely
destructive of Alliance unity. This
being true, would it not be far safer
and better to form clubs for or against
the movement" in which to discuss
and advance their ideas of true Dem
ocratic policy? I would not advise
this course in the study and discus
sion of new questions, but / do earn
estly advise the abandonment of such
action by the Alliance on these aues-
tons for the reason stated, and
have been pleased to see that Cap
tain Tillman has advised the same
course, because of his appreciation of
the danger to oTr organization. So,
too, has your State Lecturer, Bro.
Elder. So again, let me advise the
of such action by the
Alliance. If our people desire to give
organized expression to their views
on these questions, let them organize
for thatpurpose, where none need be
present who are notm sympathy with
their views and purposes. In most
of our Alliances there is more or less
division of opinion ON these questions
that had caused irritation
of feeling before our order was organ
lied. So, again, let me advise against
such action, not becausr it is uncon-
but because it is danger
Gus to the unity and success of the
Alliance.

The Choctaw Indians used to set up
poles with crosses on them for the
convenience of the owls, which are
famous crawfish hunters, and thus
their little crops were fairly protect
ed; but owls are too scarce to be en-
ployed on large plantations, and the
planters are therefore dcbarred from
this means of protection. The craw-
fish question is serious ono to them,
however ludicrous it may appear to

Dear Sir: l see from the News and
Courier you propose to be in Ander
son on the 18th, and propose to ask
| the people to hear you in vindication
OF your course in this campaign and
to hear what you shall have to saw of
MIR. Tlllman to his face. Now 7
write to say to you, i'm behalf of the
good people of Anderson, that If
Noa, rs-eso- or unIs people, then we would
be glad to hear you; but, if not, then
the press is open for you to explain
your position, and if there is a differ
ence between yourself and Mr.. Till
man, you know where to find him.
The course you propose cannot re-
suit in any good to yourself or to tho
Democracy of this county, and it
might be the means of row and
bloodshed in our midst. 1 therefore
insist that you desist from the course
proposed, and notify you now that I
shall do my utmost to prevent any
thing that shall be calculated to pro
duce discOrd among us. Yours re-
spcctfully, A. G.. Latimer

Mr.. A. G. Latimer, Bolton, S. c.
Dear Sir: Your favor OF the 22d

ed that plain, honest speech in refu-
tatiou of slanderous charges, made
in my absence before people to
whom L am little known, without the
least pertinency to the question un-
der discussion, would so offend s'good
people as to bring on ''row" which
might result in "bloodshed." / am
unwilling to believe the good people
OF Anderson so backward in eiviliza-
ton, SO devoid of the instincts and
principles of justice, so out of the
way Of the ends of true Democracy,
as to refuse to hear both sides of all
political controversies with calm dig
nifty, and to accord grossly and
gratnltously revllod citizen word in
his own defence. But confess,
frankly, that your declaration, coup
led With the marvellous display OF
gravity with winch the assembly at
your recent meeting Witnessed the
manmsllness on the stage when a
grown-up person was calling for some
one TO LOOK him IN the. eye and as

Elli6 ,n the seyenth South Caro-
sliila distrl6t was submitted to tn.
House Committee on Elections this
morning. The report is somewha,
sensational in that at the very begin
hing it declares that the entire South
: (jarolina registration nnd election
lnws ale unconstitutional The baI
sls for this declaration as stated in
the report Is that the State law i'm,
poses o number of restrictions upon
8 the exercise OF. the right of suffrage
which are In conflict with the State
institution, The Constitution de-
kiyes "a person of tho rights of su4f
only upon CONVICTION for n,,r.
: 10 Wefc entitled to register in
1881 and neglected to do so, also
those who moved into the State and
neglected to register at the first reg
.istratiOn and on those who sold their
registration certificates for u valua-
BILE consideration. The report says
thata number of negroes have been
compelled by poverty while waiting
the maturity of the cotton crop to-
negotiate their certificates to traders
who Immediately send them to politi-
cal headquarters with the result that
the negroes arc permanently dis
franchised. After laying down this
proposition the report proceeds to
discuss the legal aspects of the cleo
Mon from the usual standpoint and
recites the fact that in certain pre-
cncts what amounted to an edue,,-
tional test (and therefore an illegal
test) was imposed by lettering the
ballot boxes, which We're separate in
the case of each office, and that voters
were deceived by AN intentional shift
ing OF boxes, SO that the judges of
election were able to throw out all
05iiots cast in the wrong boxes. There
wns also, says the report, evidence
of ballot box stuffing, Summing up,
1T is found that, taking the position
most favorable to the sitting member,
the contestant, Miller, had a majority
OF 767, while, if tire law was strictly
followed, bis majority will reach
l,448. Wilson, of Missouri, will pre-
pare the minority report.

vacrsnation - Pattern

Oshkosh \ ortnweStGrn: The board
of Milwaukee is having severe tussel
with the question of compulsory VAGINA
ton in the public schools. There is a
partisan shade to the problem which
makes It's determination exceedingly
embarrassing The people Of the
state IF II isconSin have only recently
Declared against compulsory education
rs e species Of paternalism- They
have said by their ballots that the
state ilas no right to protect itself
against ignorance by compelling par
ents te send their children to school to
learn 70 read and write the language
81 the country. This is held to be an
Invasion of the private rights OF the
parent-a gross piece OF governmental
paternalism. Now the question in
Milwaukee is whether the state has Il
right to protect itself against small
pox epidemic by compulsory vaccina
ton Of those children who do attend
school The board Of education has
just postponed action FOX another
meeting Bowling to the popular YER
diet of the people last November, The
y ortilweStern is willing TO concede,
for the sake of compliance with the
popular Will. that the state has no
right to enforce compulsory vacclna-
ton According to the cdict it would
be 4 gross piece of paternalism, On
the principle settled on Nov. 1, the
state has 70 right To protect itself.
Logically, if the state shall not pro
.ect i,sef against the spread Of igner-
aiice il must not protect itself against
the spread OF small poN. The Mil
waEkec school board, i'll its great Gi-
lemma, might secure Z special dispens-
alton from Boss koernGr. endorsed by
toy. Peck. and properly attested by
G-ahe BOuck, suspending the verdict
against paterualism long enough to

but without the grant Of some such
indulgence from the political popes

manufactures from ) TO 10 Per cent.
THIS did not affect the market value,
because it led to 10 eurtailmcnt in the
supply. When. Years afterrard, the
rate was reduced 10 ) per cent again,
the market was not affected. Here
clearly was a case in which, as my
tirm found to its cost. the importer
and not the consumer paid the duty.
To Americans our system, whereby

What y;cUStaciscs Fell.

There is great deal of character in
the moustac.ie. rs the form of the
upper lip and the regions about it has
largely to do with the feelings, pride,
self-reliance, manliness, vanity and
other qualities that give selfcontrol,
the mouStachc is connected with the
expression of those qualities or the
reverse.
When the moustache is ragged, and,
as it were, flying hither and thither,
there is lack of proper selfcontrol.
Y hen it is straight and orderly the re-
verse is the case, other things, of
course taken into account.
If there is & tendency to curl at the
outer ends Of the moustache there is q
tendency to ambition, vanity, and
display When the cull turns upward
there is ssniality combined wltha love
of appreciation; when the inclination
is downward there is more sedate
turn of mind, not accompanied with
gloom.
1t is worthy OF remark that good
natured men will. i'll playing with the
moustache, invariably give it an up
ward inclination, whereas cross

1..dents Of the past week which have

CANNON FIRING HEARD.
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., Dec Il
Some of Taylor's scouts just return
ed from White river say .hey heard
cannon firing toward the Cheyenne.
Gen. Carr has a heavy battery at the
mouth Of Battle creek on the river.
It would seem, however, that Gen.
Miles does not place much reliance on
this report according to the follow wing
dispatch.
RAPID CITY, s. D., Dec l7.-Gen.
Miles arrived here this morning and
assumed charge. He is in communi-
cation with Gen. Carr by couriers.
He knows nothing of the reported
engagement ut DAILY ranch, the report
seeming to be untrue. Gen. Carr is
encamped at the junction Of the Rapid
and Cheyenne rivers OF the west Dor
der of the latter reservation, forty
miles east Of this place, with three
battalions of the Sixth cavalry, over
four hundred men. Tie Indians in
the vicinity, in small th;cving bands
have been stealing horses from the
ranchmen.
It is more than likely that the little
brush took place, also that more Will
follow. The situation really begins TO
look quite serious.
