Can't stand an Open Debate.

1t seems that Senator Buffers speech at
Prosperity has had such effect in exposing
the pawn shop humbug, That the advocates OF
the measure are greatly non -plussed.
At Spartanburg the debate was secret, and
before delegates who dared not do anything
else than that for which they were sent to do.
Before an assembly of men composed Of Of
flce-seekers at the hands OF the Alliance there
was no room for argument, and no chance 10
change a single vote among people who
would deny the minority even the right to
think for themselves.
The difference between the auditors at Pros
perity and Spartanburg was simply this:
At Spartanburg they were otfice-holders or
office-seekers.
At Prosperity they were free and independ-
ent citizens, who exercised their heaven-born
right to do their own thinking.

New Corn...Splendid CrOps..Few Fish
1.-The Danger to Which the Kan

DOVER, S. G., August 4, 1891.
We have had splendid rains In this section
OF the county, and crops are looking well.
The corn crops especially are good. If the
corn on the bottom lands is not ruined by an
overflow. the yield will he larger than was
ever known.
The man who has gone TO Kansas to make
IL rain, had better be careful. Suppose, for
instance, he should start the rain and not
know how TO stop 1t.
The capitalists, and the Western corn
raisers cannot starve us out this year. AL
ready we are grinding new corn at Martins
mill. Mr.. John NJ. Martin brought the first
new corn to the mill on August lst. He has
thirty acres planted.
Fish are scarce now In the river. But this
TACT need not prevent fishermen from coming
Mr.. ]. A. Ellis can supply all deficiencies In
the line OF fish. He has them In cans.
Merchants should order corn, and not meal,
so as tO give the country miller u chance.
The farmers are talking OF reducing the cot
ton crop next year TO onc-hulf.
DIR. Benson believes that hogs and cattle
should have salt every day.
Mr.. Lark Nickles and Mr.. Calhoun went

A Case Of Bad Digestion.

John w. Stokes labors to show in the Ches
ter Bulletin that the taxation under Radical
rule was nearly as light and easier TO pay
than the taxation under Democratic rule
He produces tax receipts as proof Of his asser
tIon. In the receipts under Democratic rule
he includes as one item the railroad tax ts2;
and S20 which the land owners and white
people voluntarily voted upon themselves
and for which neither Radicals nor Demo
Gratis, nor the Legislature is responsible.
From his argument we take it that Mr.
Stokes is pleased with neither the Democratic
nor the Radical party.
From the erroneousness OF his figures we
are led to believe that he aspires to be an AL.
lance leader.
