A PUBLIC DEBATE.

5. VIM. Stokes, President of the
State Alliance, has challenged Senator
NJ. C. Butler to q joint and public de-
bate of the Sub-treasury at Prosperity
on next Wednesday, July 90, and
Senator Bu,e- has accepted the chal-
lenge and viii meet President Stokes.
There should be large attendance
of farmers, both members Of the Alli-
ance and those who are not members.
Let everybody go and with the deter
mination to hear this question dis
cussed. Let both sides and both
speakers be given respectful and
attentive hearing. If the sub-treasury
scheme is good thing and will be jes
rtf hepsfit qya to or nseals i enacseainto
fiaW, We want to be convinced Of it,
and then let the law be passed. If it
is not good hing,and would not inure
to the good of the people, why the
people ought to know, and turn their
attention to something else. Both sides
ought to be heard. The people ought
to want to hear the scheme discussed
intelligently. The opportunity will be
given at Prosperity next Wednesday.
A subject Of the magnitude of the
plan proposed by the sub-treasury
should have the freest and fullest dis
cussion and it should be in such spirit
to arrive at the truth.

POWERS OF MUNICIPAL COURTS.
A New and Interesting Question Before
Judge kershaw.

The case before the town council, to
which reference was made in The
Herald and News last week has
taken a new turn. James +. C0ur-
sew was fined Sl25 in two cases, for
violating a town ordinance, or impris-
onment thirty days in each case. He
declined to pay the fine, and was put
ia custody. In the meantime his at
torneys served notice Of appeal, and
offered to give bail for the appearance
of Coursey.
The council refused to accept bond,
exceptthe payment Of the fine, pending
an appeal.
The case was brought before Judge
Kershaw last Friday by haJeas corpus.
The question to be decided was W neither
the right of appeal from the Judgment
of the town council was allowed under
law. If it was, the defendant was en-
titled to bail.
Judge Kershaw decided that defend
ant was entitled to bail. In doing so
he said: This decision is made upon
the ground that an appeal does lie from
Judgment from the town council of
Newberry, and that the party is en-
titled to bail pending such appeal"
The case will go to the Supreme
Court for final jurisdiction.

There pressing need in South Carroll
ma at this time for statesman. A man
who has the ability, the manhood, the
patriotism, the unselfish devotion to
the State, and the honesty Of purpose
to throw himself into breath and point
out the right and lead the people. We
are satisfied that the majority want to
do right, and will Go the right if they
can see it. They feel that there is
something radically wrong, but just
what has not yet been clearly defined.
In their eagerness to right things, a
large portion of our people unfortu-
nately have been led to extremes by a
lot of demagogues who have taken ad-
vantage of the general unrest, and they
are beginning to see it. Now for a
statesman!

to have his attention called to it before
he was aware of the fact. He had been
the victim Of practical joker:

A PLAN PROPOSED.

A prominent merchant and banker
of this county has suggested e plan
that will probably be OF benefit to the
farmers of the South. It is worth
thinking about, and will probably be
brought to the attention of the State
Alliance at it's meeting at Spartauburg
this week.
He proposes that the cotton farmers
of the South appoint day some time
about the first Of August, and that
every one of them on that day
20 in their fields and plow up every
fourth row of cotton. This scheme
will reduce the production one-fourth.
That will be about two million and
over bales of cotton. In the figures
published in The Herald and News
last week the surplus cotton esti-
mated on hand the first of September
next is about two million bales. This
plan is practicable, if taken hold of by
the farmers through the alliance, for
they are well organized, and it could
be done in one day throughout the cot
ton growing States in the South. Its
effect on the spectators in Wall Street,
that much abused place, would be
greater than any legislation. They
have already based their calculations
on the present acreage. If in one day
one-fourth of that was cut off it takes
no argument and not much stretch OF
the imagination to guess the result.
Their basis of calculation would be
gone, cotton would then be reduced to
the law of supply and demand, and
it will beat reducing the acreage. The
price would be increased and there
: efoTrI;sld, all things considered, be no
.s5ss to the farmer. To be effective,
unowever, it would have to be done in
concert and in one day, just as the
railroads throughout the country were
all changed to the standard gauge in
one day. What do our farmers think
of the scheme?

The farmers ought to learn one thing,
and they will before long. 1t is this,
that those who do not agree to all the
demands of the alliance as contained in
the Ocala platform are not enemies

understood the better it will be for all
concerned.

In Democratic government it is the
right of a majority Of the people to rule.
A good definition Of Democracy is the
rule of the people or the government Of
the people. This is true. But this
majority rule should be a majority Of
all the people and not the majority ofa
part of the people. Then, too, the mi
nority has rights which should be
exspected. The majority should not
override these rights either.

This line is far superior to any hav
offered in any of my sales in the past
and it beats the record of any house in
the city for great values in new spring
clothing. l am determined TO eed rid
of this stock if such offers as I am max
ing will move them. Those who have
taken advantage of the last two sales
eau testify to the genuinenass of these
offers. There is no bait to catch or de-
lude the public in these sales. This is
a genuine sale. Hundreds have seen
this stock and know the value of the
suits offered and they will testify to the
former prices, showing you the great
reduction made in this sale.
Remember there never was better
opportunity to secure suit of spring
clothes than at this sale.
Also remember that these suits are
not broken lots, but regular run of
sizes, just as carry in stock.
Bear in mind, this sale is strictly for
cash, and suits must be paid for before
leaving the store.
