RUN OVER AND HURT.
Mrs. Margaret Clarity Knocked Dow

Mrs. Margaret CLARITY Knocked Down
by e Recklessly Driven Rorse.
Mrs. Margaret Clarity, living at No. 1874
South Broad street, was knocked down and
run over by horse attached to buggy, IN
which were two white men just opposite
Shaffer's bakery on Jefferson street, about
8 o'clock last night. Mrs Clarity was badly
bruised about the body, besides receiving a
cash across the forehead above the
left eye. and another of the
left forearm and across both
wrists. She suffered a severe shock, being
an elderly lady. She was picked up and
carried into the bakery, where DR.. r. G.
Norton was called to her and dressed her
wounds, which, though not dangerous, are
painful.
Mrs. Clarity was crossing Jefferson street
diagonally from a fruit stand toward the
bakery when the horse came down on her.
She shouted at the meu in the buggy, but
they did not hear her and continued on their
reckless drive, going south after running
over her and without offering any as

POLITICS AND "sEcKEr WORK"

The Cotton Plant (Orangeburg, 5.
c. an Alliance journal, says:
The News and Courier evidently thought
il had q 'cnch' on the Alliance when it re-
published an alleged expose of our secret
work We dislike to spoil its fun; but truth
compels US to say that this Office had copies
of that expose sent in several weeks ago,
clipped by wide-awake Alliance men in re-
mote sections of the state, from the New
York Sun. The Alliance has been smiling
over the matter all this time, and now after
SO long i time, when our live" contempor-
airy publishes it as news, the Alliance is
smiling again.
The secret work" OF orders purely
benevolent or social may be objects Of
idle curiosity-but never of serious con-
Germ. The alleged expose OF Masonry
by Morgan was made at time when
the popular belief was that Masonry
was inimical TO the popular welfare.
And to-day people are-nothing Tor the
"secret work" of the Alliance as a
purely industrial and social order, but
when the Alliance goes into politics its
"secret work" becomes offensive. This
republic is governed by political par
ties and the people will never consent
that any oath-bound secret organiza-
shall govern the country. The secret
work of the Alliance belongs to itself
only as long as the Alliance work con-
Germs itself only, but when the Alliance
aspires as third party or as cohe-
sive factor in any party to dominate the
politics of the republic, the people will
resent such domination emanating from
''secret work" Daylight politics only
can control this country. The Alliance
cannot be both partisan and non-parti-
san, both political and non-po,itical.
As pon-partisan, non-political body
its "secret work" belongs to itself as
political organization the Alliance
cannot maintain a secret work and

Per Capita Circulation.
Atlanta Constitution.


The phrase per capita circulation is mis-
leading. 1t is very encouraging to see it
stated that we have in this country so many
dollars per head in circulation. but the
main point to be considered is the matter of
distribution.
As recent writer on this subject makes
plain, the problem for economists to study
is. first, the amount Of money in the coun-
try. and, second, its distribution. One
hundred dollars per capita means nothing
unless it is so distributed and employed as
to enable every worker to use it in earning
living.
Now our financial system Is so arranged
that banks, treasurerS OF corporations and
other citizens keep millions of dollars under
lock and key. This boarded money is held
for a reserve to answer some sudden and
unexpected demand. Anything that ham,
pers money! single gold standard, for in
stance-preveIts the adjustment of cur
rency to the demands of production and
business. When the government raises an
excessive revenue and holds it in the treas
ury the natural conditions Of trade are in
terfered with and the problem of distribu-
ton becomes more complicated.
The remedy, broadly stated, is to have
enough money to meet the legitimate wants
of business, and have revenue system un-
der which the government will draw from
the people through the medium Of taxation
only enough to answer the needs Of an eco
nomical administration. There can be no
hope of securing generally beneficial dis
irritation Of the currency until we get
started on this line.
In discussing the financial issues of the
day, the fact should always be borne IN
mind that the per capita circulation means
very little, unless the facilities of distribu-
ton keep pace with the business and pro-
gress of the country.

BRENNAN. WASHINGTON COUNTY, TEX,
Oct. 20.-This morning Joe Hall was ar
rested and incarcerated in the Austin
county jail, charged with an attempt at one
Of the most heinous offenses known to the
history of crimes, which he made Sunday
night.
Sunday last Mr.. Wilmington, a white
man residing near Kenny, left his home
with two of his children to go to Chapel
Hill, leaving seven-year-old boy and a
fourteen-year-oid girl at hons. He did not
return during the night Some time be-
tween midnight and day the girl heard
some one at her room door, and
was awakened just in time to see negro
her bed, screamed and called for
father as the negro grabbed her,
pretending he was at home, hoping to
frighten the brute away, which she did, at
the same time rushing toward trunk for
pistol. The negro was taken by surprise
and retreated TO the next room to see II the
father was really coming. Before he had

he passed the young lady's room window
she saw him and recognized him as Joe

as he ran by. Feeling herself
equal to cope with him now,
she threw open the front door and fred
at him as he came around the house and
again as he leaped the front garden
fence, which he fell down behind for
safely, and the fourth time is he ran
Off Alone the children spent the re-
mainder of the night and until the fathers
return next day. He listened to her story
and went to consult with neighbor as to
what he should do, his first inclina-
tion being to take shotgun and shoot
the scoundrel. His neighbor advised
him to send Sheriff Glenn and make
an investigation and have him arrested.
Sheriff Glenn went up and worked faith
fully to SECURE evidence corroborative OF the
girls story and succeeded, and this morn
ing locked him up The negro claimed that
he could prove he was at a negro ball at
Kinney all night by Jerry Wilson,
but he only proved his whereabouts
until midnight, and the girls testimony was
to the effect that the assault occurred be-
tween midnight and day. The affair has
been kept quiet until to-day to prevent q

INVITING DANGER,

Actually engaged in work on the
railroads in this country are 10000
men. and there are fully $1,000 600 peo-
ple-men, women and children-who
are directly and indirectly dependent
upon railroad service for a living.
There are more able-bodied men 10 the
service of railroads than the Confed-
crate states ever bad in the field at ons
time during their four years of war
and the greatest war the world had
ever seen up to that time.
What tremendous and irresistible
weight these men, nearly all of them
being legal voters, could bring to the
decision OF a political contest.
The Peoples party and the Farmers
Alliance, through the Ocals platform,
call for a government ownership and
control of the railroads IF existing
abuses are not removed" With gov
ernmental ownership and control
comes the appointment of the men who
will manage the roads and who will
work them. The party in power will
see that this vast army shall be of

cess as the postoffice force is to-day.

Who Pays This Tax?

The other day the establishment Of Ar
mour s. Co made an importation of tin
plate for use in the manufacture of cans
for meats. The duty of 2-l0 cents per
pound was paid, subject to a rebate if the
cans were exported. The cans. filed with
meats, will be exported no doubt, and 90 per
cent Of duty paid on the tin-plate will be
refunded. Tin-plate used in this countr..,
however, pays the tariff, and there is no re-
bate. In this way the American is taxed
for such provisions as he buys in cans,
while the foreigner. by express provision
of the Mckinley bill, gets his American
provisions in cans that bear no tax.
This is point that the Herald would
call to the attention of the various high
tax orators who are insinuating that the
tariff taxes are paid by foreigners They
do not say this in words, but that is the i'm
preston that they convey. Not dollar OF
the tariff tax is paid by foreigners. 1t is
all borne by the American consumers. In
the case of exported timed meats the Nc
Kinley law, keeping the tax Oh Americans,
expressly removes it for the benefit of for
eignerS.

So long as Texas sends to other
states all the money it receives in pay
ment of its agricultural products for
clothing, implements and bacon, just so
long will Texas be poor and complain
OF scarce money. A state that manu-
features its cotton, its wool, its iron and
its meats can keep its own money at
home and get that Of less fortunate peo-
pie. But manufacturing enterprises
must be located in towns with surplus
population and distributing facilities.
Every farmer and miner and livestock
raiser in Texas is directly interested
In the growth of Texas towns and in
the accumulation of capital in the
towns for factory building. The peo-
pie of the farm who fight the growth
Of towns simply fight themselves. The

LESS COTTON AND BETTER PRICES.
The many-times repeated suggestion
to the farmers of the South to limit the
production of cotton and raise the price
has had SO little effect that to speak OF
it again is like preaching to the wind;
but at the risk of laying itself open to
this charge, The GAZETTE is going to
quote from Latham, Alexander & Co. 3
cotton Annual what they have to say
to the Southern cotton planters:
''Unless the farmer resolves to invest
less of his capital in cotton and more
in breadstuffs; unless he resolves to
keep the limits of his acreage in cotton
more in conformity with the require
ments OF the times, he cannot reason
ably expect that amelioration in his
financial condition which the producer
of an article OF such universal consump-
! ton as cotton should enjoy. Unlike
other produce, its cultivation is limited
20 certain latitudes, and is incapable of
Being Indefinitely extended except in
the purlieus of these ATTITUDES. Com
petition is therefore confined amongst
Southern farmers themselves. who, be-
cause they are unable to consume ell
they raise, are dependent upon foreign
nations to buy their surplus, and if
such surplus more than supplies these
nations wants, the result is, the mar
kets of the world become overstocked
and the whole crop is depressed beyond
its intrinsic value, when it is no longer
a money crop.
"The European spinner prefers
American cotton when he can get it,
and is willing to pay premium to OBJ
tain it. II, on account of its scarcity
or relative DEAFNESS he uses other
growtbs, he does SO under compulsion.
To US, therefore, it seem that the
farmer has the shaping of his own des-
TIMES more in his own hands than one
would think he has. It behOoves him
to become student of the industrial
world, to extend the range of his vision
beyond the confines of his own planta-
ton, If he will do this, we do not doubt
that in the future he will become more
and more independent and share in a
greater degree the prosperity of the
most progressive section OF that country
which is to-day the wonder of the
world -
