The Boston Advertiser having refer
red to South Carolina as the 'sleast pro-
gressive of the Southern States" the
Manufacturers Record volunteers the
following manly defense of the State:
s'The Advertiser, as usual when it refers
to Southern matters, displays either ig-
norance or a purpose to misrepresent.
South Carolina is far from being non
progressive. It is rapidly pushing to
the front, especially in the manufacture
of cotton goods, and South Carolina
mills are going to be the iveliest COM
petitors that New England mills will
have to meet. In 1886 South Carolina
had IA cotton mills, with 81, ,334 spindles
and 1676 looms, while it now has A mills
with All, ,730 spindles and 10,6S7 looms.
Next to Georgia it leads the South in
the number of spindleS, and as to the
quality of the goods produced, it was
only few months ago that the Boston
Commercial Bulletin stated that the
Clifton Mills of South Carolina were
producing such fine goods that they
were being initiated by several New En-
GLAND mills"

Dear Sir: YClr favor of the Sth
inst, has been received, and answer de-
layed by my absence from home. AS |
have already assured you that the State
Executive Committee did not vote up
on the question of primary at the
meeting held May Sth, the reply you
make is quite unsatisfactory. You
have based an attack upon the Execu-
tive Committee on information that is
totally incorrect, and your statement
in reference to what n. 6. &. said the
next morning in the News and Courier
is equally wide of the mark. he refer
red to the Executive Committee as be-
ing 13 against and one for Tillman, but
this is very different from refusing
'to give us a State primary" as you
allege was done. I will be very glad to
know whether you propose to make the
correction. and in case you decline to
do so, will print this correspondence
in Justice to the Executive Committee.
Yours Respectfully,
JAMES A. HOYT.

mittee.

Dear Sir: Your letter of the 14th
was received, and in reply have this
to say: Mr.. Gonzales obtained infor-
nation from some member of your
committee upon which he based his
letters of the 9th and 10th of May to
the News and Courier. / have been un-
able to get a copy of that of the 10th,
TIE one of the 9Th being short on &C
count of the lateness of the hour of ad-
joUrnment of your committee. lie
stated, if I recollect correctly, that the
question of a primary was acted on,
and further stated that the committee
stood 13 against Tillman to l for him.
If l recollect properly this last state
ment was italicized and in figures.
Your committee met again on the 25th
of June. Our convention met on the
28th of June. During all of this time
that elapsed between May Sth and June
25th no correction of Mr.. G.'S statement
was made by your committee, nor was
any action taken upon it at your meet
ing of June 25th. You allowed it to
stand that 13 Of the IA members pre-
sent were against Mr.. Tillman, and it
was only after the publication of our
proceedings had on the 2Sth of June
that we hear of any denial. We had a
right to infer from that statement that
vote calling a convention for prl-
mary had been taken, and that it stood
l3 against and for. You say that no
cote was taken; you say that no action
was taken on the primary. 1t is not
possible, then, that an outside agree
meat was had on the question, and de-
cided so as to avoid the question COM
ing up in the meeting. If you will give
me the names of one or more of the Is
who favored convention for primary
outside or inside OF the meeting on the
9Th of May, I will cheerfully correct to
that extent.
You 90 so far in your first letter to
me as to say, "The Executive Com
mittee has never voted upon the ques-
ton of a primary at ALL and that, too,
after they had called a convention for
that purpose to meet on August 18th.
am not a member of your committee
and do not of course know how you de-
eide matters coming before you, but |
do know you decided to call and did
call convention By some means known
to yourselves to meet on August 18th
to take into consideration a primary.
These are not days for quibbling or
hair splitting. l am willing that the
public shall decide whether or not l
have misrepresented your committee.

respondence from beginning to end

to that effect. 1t may be mentioned
that Captain Courtenay was attentive
to Captain Tillman during his sojourn

Dear Sir-In the proceedings OF the
Democratic County Convention OF
Newberry County, find the following
statement in the preamble and resolu-
tions introduced by you said EXecu-
tive Committee did meet, and by vote
of thirteen to one, did refuse to give us
Il State primary" AS this refers dir
ectly to the meeting of the State Exc
cutive Committee, held May Sth, 1890,
l respectfully ask that you will furn-
ish me with your authority for making
the statement. 1t is matter Of simple
Justice to the Executive Committee
that an unqualified statement, purport-
ing to give its precise action at def
mite time, shall rest upon good author
ity, or else that the statement be re-
tracted, if unsupported by such author
ity. Let me assure you that no such
action was taken, and that your infor-
nation is entirely incorrect. The Exc
cutive Committee has never voted up
on the question of State primary at
all. hope you will recognize the i'm
portance and propriety of correcting
SO gross ali error, which does a fragrant
injustice to gentlemen occupying a re-
sponsible position in the Democratic
party of this State. On other points
we may differ widely, but there can be
no difference OF opinion as to the OBJ
vious course on your part to rectify
this matter, which has obtained the
sanction OF a County Convention
through your instrumentality.
Very truly yours,

naturally so, over the result of the

THAT the times change and we
change with them was never more
pertinently illustrated than in the
treatment the lottery companies are
receiving at the hands of the churches.
Nothing is more generally denounced
as dishonest and demoralizing than
the lottery scheme, and yet less than
one hundred years ago it was frequent
ly called into requisition as means of
raising church revenues. The legis-
latures Of New York and New Jersey
were on more than one occasion pc
titioned by the churches, Presbyteri-
an and Dutch Reformed, to grant
them permission to raise money for
minister's salary and church cree
ton by chartered lottery schemes,
and today the legislature that rants
a lottery franchise is guilty of all vii
lainy. What the standard of morality
is it would be hard to determine. An

CORN is cheap, cheaper almost than
ever before, and there is one good
reason for it, there's more corn in the
country than the country needs and
the price is correspondingly depress-
ed. Some day the fact will dawn up
on the political economist that it is
not tariff but demand that regulates
the price of breadstuffs, and as the
productive possibilities of the farming
world Outrun the consumption pos
sibilities of the eating world prices
must rule low. The remedy consists
in running short or holding up on
food production and employing all
surplus labor in manufacturing
so as to have as many non-food
producing people as possible with
money to expend as food con-
sumers.
