DR.. Macune and Mr.. Latimer.

To the Editor of The Herald and
News: | am delighted at Mr.: Latl,
mer's reply to my criticism OF ms ana
Mr.. AS attempted defense OF Dr: Ma
cune, published in the Cotton Plant.
It is a virtual admission by one OF the
whitewashing committee of just what
I was seeking, i. e., that Macune Was
guilty by bis own confession OF accept
ING from Calhoun a free pass over the
Richmond Terminal railway system,
and also loan of s. ,000, aud after re-
ceiving these personal faVors, OF sup
porting Calhoun with might and main
for the United States Senate.
already knew that Mr.. A. had per-
sonally admitted Macune's guilt, and
deplored it as blenish on his charac'
ter while defending him publicly az a
"Christian geutleman.'
AS to Mr.. Latimers defense of DR..
Macune's action, need say nothing.
may safely leave that to your lntelll-
gent readers, alliancemen as well as
others, who have spark of independ-
ence of thought left" l would only
call attention to what a difference 1t
makes whose OK is gored, and now Mr..
Latimer defends in DR.. Macune what
the Alliance so severely condemns in
others. For less grave ottenses on the
same line, one vice-president of tie
United States and several eminent
congressman were consigned to well
merited oblivion. The acceptance OF
similar favors by public officials we
were taught only last year by our re-
form leaders in South Carollna-among
whom Mr.. Latimer was Conspicuous
was tanning" "pamboozling," de
bauching," "bribery." But it is singu-
lar what change has come over them
since they are in possession of the Of
fees, so much SO that MIR. Latimer
even comes out in its defense.
But to sum up in brief We have Dr.
Macune, the Grand Mogul of the Alll-
ance, receiving important pecunlary
favors from Pat Calhoun, the paid at
torney of Jay Gould, the "brlghtest
lower in the garden of monopoly" at
the South, and then using all bis ef-
orts as the head of the Alliance, to send
Calhoun to the United States Senate.
Is such man worthy the confidence
of our farmers? That is the question
for intelligent men to consider.
In conclusion, allow me to Gail MT.
Latimer's attention to an article on
Macune just published in the Nash
Vile American, which states the case
still stronger against him. Nhlte-
washing will wear Oft. C1F1s.

OUR TEACHERS HAVE ARRIVED

in this place. The class is increasing rap
idly and the classroom will be open for
business on Iarge scale soon.
ANY person contemplating taking IN
structions should make up their minds as
soon as possible, as We expect to finish the
place soon.
Miss Perry. one of orr most accom-
plished teachers, will have charge of the
classroom, ind the knowledge derived
from her instructions in cutting and put
ting together garments, doing all kinds
of drapery, gathering and plating are
surpassed by none.
Any lady can see that if you know how
TO do the work you won't have any worry
of rebasting or changing, they can also
see that where the rebasting and chang
ing is done away with there is cloth saved.
Before yo'1 say you are perfect IN cut
ting. and don't need to take instruction,
see how long it takes you to cut and fit
a dress, and how much cloth you use.
You can see from the testimonials be-
low what those who have taken and used
our system thinks about it. Every one
whose namo will appear below had used
the cutter .or from two to four months
when they ,ta7o us their names.

Mr.. E. o. Black,
Dear Sir:
I have tested your cutter thoroughly,
and most heartily recommend 1t to all,
especially 3he mothers and working ladies
of the lanl I honestly wouldn't take
fifty dollars for the knowledge obtained
through your teachers, and only wish l
b., taken sooner. So many here regret
now that they didn't take, and wish 1t
was in M power to aid you in getting
this splenlid system we'll established in
nv dear old county town, for we don't
know how much of a blessing it is until
we learn it's principles End merits. You
didn't ecommend it to me near as highly
as I've found it, and all who have taken
here are delighted and can't recommend
it too highly. l don't know what I can
say to recommend it to the friends OF my
old county town more than you can, for
T know you are the right man in the right
place, and if they would be wise and inde-
pendent they would decide now and not
delay. :. have honestly saved enough this
season ty the help of the Garment Cutter
to pay for it.
Mrs. OPLANDo SHEPPARD.
Mrs. p. L. Wright, of Johnston, says:
Il have taken instruction in the National
Garment Cutter and found it to be as
recommended I wouldn't part with it
for fifty dollars.
Mrs. Cox, of Johnston, says: 1--WE been
using MY cutter about four months and
wouldn't take any price for it,
Mrs. Harrison, of Johnston. says: I've
used ny cutter for ladies, gentlemen and
children and consider myself second to
no dressmaker. I wouldn't part with my
cutter Tor ten times its cost
We could give hundreds of testimonials,
but for the want of space We have cut
these short.
Ladies, be careful that you don't do
yourself and your family an injustice in
deciding this important question.
There is nothing that wears about our
outfit, so lady can use it until she gets
tired of it and turns it over to her child.
We teach each one to cut from a maga-
zine, no it never gets old style.

done injustice to the citadel boys, and
