If the Democrats had been aS suCceaSful

have been reversed, on account Of b human
trait that failure knlts closer than sue

and register OF deeds, Democrats, told
me personally that they would Join thu
Alliance if they were eligible. They
were then hoping to be nominated by the
Peoples party, and StevenSs candidate
for treasurer, republican, was q year ago
very doubtful where he would fall. The

II iS very possible to be too poor 10
practice economy. For instance, at this
time Of the year people who have money
are filing their cellars with coal; they
are buying II for about 8 OK 10 cents per
buShel and are putting in enough 70 last
all winter. But people who have no
money and no cellars to put coal into are.
not putting In any coal. Consequently,
when cold weather comes on they viii
buy coal by the bushel and pay perhaps
as high as 25 cents for t. OF course,
they could ecOnomlze by buying coal
while Il ID cheap, but they are poor and
tcanaot afford the luxury OF such eCOnc-
my. MOneyed people call this shiftless
ness, but could they do any better with
out their money! With money to use
at the right time money can be saved,
but the mOneyed people alone are able
TO save It, while the moneyless enes must
lose It. Lifting Issues.

Eating the Same Old Chestnut The Trick Of
Deceiving the Poor Soldier Exposed.
To the Editor Of The ADVOCATE.
On September % q letter from W. s.
Matthews, 129 East State street. COlum-
bus, Ohio, as secretary Of the Ohio Re
publican state executive committee, IN
formed me that such committee, having
caused letter from Colonel LeonidAs F.
Livingston, Of Georgia (prlntsd In thS
gWestern Veteran on SepSSE y, Nv SIs
Kansas Republican committee) 10 be
reprinted In the Ohio State Journal for
the purpose of securing the soldiers
vote, its authenticity had been denied by
the Peoples party, and that as his com
mittee would send copy of the letters,
az q campaign document, to all the sol
diers in the west It desired the original
letter, with authority to use the same In
the interests of the Republican party.
My reply, that as the letter, thought to
be holograph, was among my papers
in New York City. l would go for It
upon receiving $40 to pay expenses,
brought his response with that sum, Mr..
Matthews letter adding: I'VE are anxious
to receive this letter at the very earliest
moment, and you will therefore accomo-
date US by being as expeditions as pos
sible."
This undue urgency aroused my
suspicious that having obtained the
letter from this city, we subjected 1t to q
careful inspection, comparing it with
other letters written TO me by Colonel
LivingtOn, from his home at Cora, New
ton county, Georgia, and with the hand
writing Of other letters written TO me by
General John B. Gordon, by M. L.
Burks, former secretary Of the GeOrgis
Alliance; by Mr.. Davidson, formerly OF
the Southern Alliance Farmer, and by
others, with the result that the writing
Of the alleged Livingston letter did not
closely resemble his hand writing, nor
that Of either Of those other gentlemen,
although its authenticity had never be-
fore been suspected by me.
It Ia my impression that the press re-
porters upon the stage of the opera
house, where the letter was handed to
them to be copied, after it had been read
by me In the course Of my speech to the
soldiers on January "a, 1891, at Topeka,

SeRt from Washington on January 12, By
Hon. John j. IRgGIIs, under my agree
ment to proceed 10 Kansas and work for
the promotion of his election TO the Sem
ate. The letter had never before been
given out, nor had any copy of it been
seen by me, until Mr.. Matthew'S letter Of
the 28th Of September, above referred TO.
80 that my recollection Of It's hand writ
ing and contents was not clear.
Now, as Colonel L. F. Livingston, pres
ident Of the Georgia Alliance, having
himself declared that he neither wrote
nor authorized any such letter, Il did not
seem proper for me, after the discovery
Of the above facts, TO send the letter to
Mr.. Matthews, nor TO authorize its publl-
cation by the Ohio Republican commit
zee, as campaign document 10 secure
bCIlEsiS vote ANA destroy the FatGiaAss'
Alliances, which are "nCt fora day, but
for all time" ,"-oR oil Of which Mr.. Mat
thews, having been fully notified, now,
under date Of October 10, 1891, sends me
a athree- page typewriter communication,
the concluding sentence reading as fol-
lows:
/ shall use the Livingston letter, as pub
liShed in the Western Veteran, and quote
your letter to me for my authority as to It's
genuiness. Yours truly,
w. s. MATTHEW'S, Secretary q.
Having thus fairly submitted 10 the
Peoples party the material facts as to
this affair, let me ask who can prevent
politicians from perverting truth, from
distOrting facts and spreading falsehood
through their &llies Of the associated
press, 30 rapidly and widely that truth
can never overtake 1t?
Let US, therefore, discard the false and
deceptive pretenses and promises of the
leaders and bosses Of both the old parties
who are hired with Wall street money to
do the bidding Of the Shylocks and Of
the railway spectators, jobberS and rob
bers to allure the sons Of toll TO slavery
and pauperism.
Vote for the candidates Of the Peoples
party. tn platform, although needing q

beware Of the good faith Of any Farm

ling 10 unite their forces In aid Of the

Beware, too, Of the lnsidIous assaults
Of the money power. Its willy tools may
induce alliances TO select leaders all

THE THIRD PARTY APPEAL.
1t Looks Very Much Like the Prod duction of
Spiritualistic Crank.

CINCINNATI, July 23.-Robert Schil-
ling has made pnblic the address of the
national executive committee Of the
Peoples Party to the citizens of the
United States. 1t occupies four closely
printed small octave pages, and sets
out with a general statement of griev-
ances, which occupies about one-fourth
of the document. In this statement
are such phrases as the following:
1.-The Declaration of Independence
from the arrogance of British politicians
must be supplemented by the declara-
ton Of independence from the fright
full power of concentrated wealth.
1--WE consider violence in settling
disputes as unworthy of civilized
nation, and for this reason we have
organized the Party of the People to
overthrow tyrants who have robbed
and are continuing to rob of that to
which they have no moral right"
The document then goes on with a
specification of evils in matters of land,
labor and money and in conclusion
suggests q remedy. The concluding
paragraph appeals in the name of the
liberty, for which the fathers Of the
Republic pledged their lives, for the
aid of every honest man in this strug-
gle by joining the Party of the People.

PRoPRIETY IN BATHING SUITS.
It is Enforced with An Iron Hand by
Policemen at Ocean Grove,
New York SUM-

AsBURY PARK, July 21.-A police
man stood at Lilligore's pavilion in
Ocean Grove this afternoon and re-
fused to allow persons who had nothing
over their bathing suits to approach
the water.
"Go home and get a coat or shawl
on" he said, cor I'll arrest you and
lock you up"
Not only women in perfectly proper
bathing suits, but little boys and girls
were sent back to their homes for wraps
Some of the women asked to be allowed
to take their baths, saying that they
would bring wraps next time. In
every instance the officer refused thei1
requests.
During the day men posted signs
which said:
GAIL the police have rigid orders to
enforce the following: Be it enacted by
the board of trustees of the Ocean
Grove Camp Meeting Association that
bathing in a nude state or in improper
or indecent bathing apparel, or passing
through the streets or avenues to OF

Here Lies

Epitaphy is demoralizing kind Of
taffy. it appears on the tombstone,
and eulogizes the dead almost to the
very stars. The usual method OF begin
ming is: "Here lies" Very suggestive,
for the lies are frequently quite aston
ishing-almost enough so to both
amuse and amaze the dead Of whom
they are written. A truthful epitaph
in many instances, would be: Here

THE WILLIAMS MURDER TRIAL.
The Testimony in the Greenvllle Court
was Very Strong Against the Slayer
Of Major W. A. Williams.
Especial to News and Courier.

SpSclal 10 N GWS anu COUTlSI.
GREENvILLE, July 21.-James B
Williams, the slayer of Major W. A
Williams, is on trial in the Court o
! General Sessions for murder, and the
trial is attracting widespread interest
The Court House has been thronged al
day. The State is represented by Soil
citor Ansel and Ex- Congressman Goth
ran, and the defendant by Gen. Leroy
F. Youmans and Perry & Hayward
and Alvin H. Dean, of this city.
The defendants plea is self-defence.
Last February the prisoner shot Major
Williams through the heart in this city
over a game Of cards. Major Williams,
or "Dixie" Williams, as he was known,
was prominent member of the Green
VILE Bar, and was brave and gener-
Gus man. The onl.- eyewitness was
William Mott, negro porter, and he
swore to day that the prisoner shot
Major Williams after having caused the
latter to throw down his knife by say
ing he was unarmed. Motifs testimony
could not be shaken.
A sensation was caused by the testi-
mony of T. M. Simmons, the man who
helped Williams to escape from here the
night of the shooting. He told what
the defendant said to him, and the
story corroborates Motifs. Williams
said to Simmons: II have had many a
game cock to die in the pit that Ihated
to see die worse than Dixie Williams. !"
The case will take up tomorrow and
maybe longer.
NO COUNTING on A JURY.
Especial to News and Courier
GREENvILLE, July 23.-To-day was
the third and last day Of the trial Of
J. B. Williams for the killing of Major
W. A. Williams. The evidence was all
concluded yesterday and three speeches
were made. Three more speeches were
made to-day. Col. w. H. Perry and
Col. Leroy F. Youmans made speeches
for the defence and Ex-Congressman
Cothran closed for the State. The
arguments OF Col. Youmans for the de-
fence and Col. Cothran for the State
were grand efforts.
The case was given to the jury at 5
o'clock this afternoon and the Jury is
still out. The. court room has been
crowded almost to suffocation all day
and the interest in the case is intense.
VERDICT OF AcoUITTAL.
LATER.-The jury, at 1880 o'clock
tonight, came out of their room with
verdict of not guilty. There was no de-
monstration ofapproval or disapproval,
as Judge Witherspoon had given notice
he would severely punish any disturb
ance.

A STRANGE PHENOMENA.
Many Rabid Foxes Are Running In the
Woods at Ten Milo Hil1-The Negro
Population Is in a State Of Panic.

CHARLESTON, S. c., July 2l.-Last
fall, the country around Pineoppolis, a
suburb of this city, was demoralized by
reports of ravages of mad foxes.
Startling news was received to-day
to the effect that the disease had spread
through the country, and it has become
dangerous to travel thr"ugh the woods.
A planter from Ten Mile Hill reports
that the woods in that section are full
of mad foxes, and that serious state
of things exists there. The negro popu-
lation, which is very dense around the
phosphate mines, is in an utter state
of panic. Many persons have been at
tackled by mad foxes within the past
few days, and thus far thirteen persons
have been seriously bitten.
To-day, a negro named William Fra
ser mad desperate encounter with one
of the animals. The fox rushed at him,
and a lively fight ensued, the man
being unarmed. The mans clothes were
torn into shre6s, but he finally sue
ceeded in beating the beast off without
suffering any serious damage.
Two of the mad foxes have been
thus far killed, but the entire popula-
ton is now up in arms, and an effort
uill he made to clear the animals
out.
None of the persons bitten by the
foxes have as yet showed any symptoms
of b ydrophobia.
The theory is advanced that the dis
ease is caused by the drouth. That sec.
ton of the country was formerly low
and swampy, but it is said that since
the earthquake of 1886 the water basins
in the forests have become dry, the
rain water seeming to pass into the
bowels of the earth almost as soon as
it falls.

Liberty Hail members DeueVeQ "nal
they said in their resolutions. To shut
their mouths will not change theil
minds. If they are the kind of men
We take them to be; if they are jealous
of their liberty and rights as citizens,
as they ought to be, and as most of the
farmers of South Carolina have always
shown themselves to be, they will re-
sign from the Alliance rather than re-
main in it on such terms. Nothing
the Order can do for them, or give to
them, can be worth the loss of their
independence and manhood.
It was unwise on the part of the
leaders Of the Newberry Alliance to
make this issue, moreover, on other
grounds. There is considerable differ
ence Of opinion on the sub-treasury
scheme, tits stated, among the Alliance
men, even in Newberry County. The
scheme is plainly and rapidly losing
supporters elsewhere, as it comes to be
better understood. There is no reason
whatever to believe that it can be car
ried into effect. Many of the farmers
in Texas, where the scheme originated,
have declared against it. The Alliance
in Mississippi has practically discarded
it. The farmers Of the Northern and
Eastern States are either opposed to it.
The Liberty Hall Alliance men are
either opposed to it or Indifferent to it.
The Liberty Hall Alliance men are
backed by majority Of the farmers of
the country on this question, and they
have simply taken the position which
the whole Alliance will take a few
months or weeks later. To ask them
toretreat in these circumstances, on the
plea that they need Education" and
Enlightenment" speaks very badly
for the enlightenment Of their leaders
and worse for their capacity TO act as
true leaders.
The Liberty Hall men should hold
their ground and refuse to be ''muz-
zled." The welfare of the Alliance de-
pends on the thinking men in its
ranks, not on the politicians who have
obtained control and direction Of its
affairs, and some Of whom appear to
have lost all discretion in the exercise
of the powers with which they have
been invested, or which they have as
sumed. The farmers Of South Carolina
and Georgia and other Southern
States cannot afford to be driven hither
and thither blindfold at the will off
few men, whoever they may be, or
however we'll meaning they may be.
The sober and rejecting men among
their own number must decide the
questions which are before them and
in which their interests are SO nearly
involved. Mistakes at this time will be
felt for years and years to come.
It is better to ':go slow" and go sure
than to 60 wrong in haste and have to
retrace tomorrow the steps taken yes
terday. The Liberty Hall farmers are
right and wise in thinking for them
selves and acting for the nselves like
men, and the sooner their example
is followed by all the other Alliance
men in the State and in the country
the better it will be for them and for
the Order to which they belong.
