-seceITeG $40. II would not be Ions
before such notes would be useless.
To say that the outstanding $40 wa:
no loss to the government because i,
was on the same basis as greenbacks is
no argument. To carry out the same
line OF argument, there would be lust
as much reason to say that the govern
ment could give to every man who had
slOo worth of cotton $50 and let him
keep his cotton too, because it would
nave as good basis behind it as the
greenoacks, and then the man who
had the 500 worth Of cotton would not
lose the other $50 that he might have
received for his cotton, in the case sup
posed, when he placed it in the ware
mouse. Then, too, there would be $50
IN circulation instead of $40.
But then We admit that we do
not understand this great scheme of
finance, and have been induced to saw
this much id justification of what has
been formerly said. We have ONLY |
been seeking light all the time.

John F. Ficken Nominated for Mayor of
Charleston-His Majority About Two
Hundred.
Especial to the State.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Oct. 2l.-The
Reformers have won.
Col. J. F. Ficken has been nominated
for Mayor by the Democratic primary
election, defeating Mayor Bryan, the
candidate of the Regulars.
The election was quite and peaceaole.
The police force, although admirably
organized and distributed, were the
idlest set of men in town. Only in
Ward did the slightest trouble occur.
There was, at the Mall, a slight disturb
ance, due to whiskey and over-enthu-
siam for the one or the other candi-
dates, but it amounted to very little.
Ficken's majority in eleven wards is
127. Ward is still doubtful at 30 a.
m.
The Reformers have elected twelve
aldermen at large and five from the
wards.
There is talk of a lost ballot box in
ward t. The election commissioner
adjourned from the city hall to the pre-
cinct headquarters in ward + (about
midnight and at a. m. the result in
ward has not beet declared.
1t is fact, however, that Maj. Ficken
is nominated.
The aldermen's ticket is scratched
from toz.
Dr.. Thompson was defeated for
school commissioner; DR.. Vedder was
elected.
Mr.. Theo. D. Jerver, Jr., has been
elected chairman of the executive COM
mittee over Maj. Boyle, unless Ward
matprialllv alters results
At 2 a. m: Maj. Baker and Gen. HUI
guenin were seen together. Maj. Bar
ker said: "We cannot declare the re-
suits in Ward / tonight. There are
which may no be ad-
justed before tomorrow" The COM
plications referred to are understood to
be between the managers in Ward |
Four. The nature of the difficulty is not |
known.
There will, however, be no changing
Of results. The Reformers have, be-
yond doubt, something like POO ma
ority.

Inc Abbeville Press and Banner OF
last week had about 90 columns of ad-
Eertlsements. Most Of them were from
the merchants of Abbeville and Green
wood. The business men Of AbbevilIe
appreciate the value Of advertisipp
and patronize and support their home
paper. Some Of the business men Of
NeWoerry never advertise at all. It is
very queer. If the papers in Newberrv
could get half % columns the hearts Of
the editors would be made glad and
Inc merchants would reap the profits.

SPARTANBCRG, Oct. 19.-The contest
is over, and the Democracy is trium-
phant. Col. Joseph Walker, the Demo-
cratic nominee, defeated Mr.. Chase, the
independent candidate for mayor, by a
majority of l46 votes. This majority is
much greater than was expected. Mr..
Chase received 43S votes and Col.
Walker 5S4.
Most of the negroes voted for Mr..
Chase, and it is said that he received
but 30 white votes. The whites voted
in body for Col. Walker. Besides this,
ne got about 30 negro votes. It is es-
tlmated that fully 200 white men did
not vote. The total vote was l,042,
twenty-five votes being scratched for
Mayor.

At recent meeting of the York
County Alliance two very important
and practical questions were consid-
cred. One was reduction in the aver
age OF cotton and the other the i'm
provement of the public roads. These
are things which concern the members
OF the alliance. More practical work
would be of great benefit to the ALI
ance.

THAT GREENWOOD SPEECH.

We publish elsewhere, with pleasure
the explanation Of the Cotton Plant Of
DR.. Stokes Greenwood speech, head
line and all, just as it appeared in the
last issue Of the Cotton Plant. We re-
gret that We did not see the explana-
tion as published in the Cotton Plant
of August u, but about that time the
editor was absent, and if we ever saw it
we do not recall 1t.
The explanation, as we see it, leaves
the argument just as we reported it, SO
for as its merits go. We give below
what we reported DR.. Stokes as saying
at Greenwood. 1t is taken from our
issue of July 16. We ask the reader
to compare it with what the Cotton
Plant. says be said and see if the two
are not the same:
1.-THE objection urged that this scheme
may cause loss to the government if
there is decline in price was con-
sidered. President Stokes said there
was no possibility of loss under any
circumstances. This plan would elimi-
nate the speculator and reduce it to the
law of supply and demand.
Suppose farmer deposits in the
warehouse 500 worth of cotton and
draws $50 and at the end of the year
when pay day comes this cotton is
only worth $40, and the farmer fails to
redeem his cotton. You say at once
the government has lost $40. 1t has
done no such thing. What is to hinder
the government from buying that cot
ton in and holding it until the price
advances, and that is what it will do.
EJ'stn5pOse the government wants to
sell out and only realizes $40. The
government has lost nothing in that
case, because the other $40 was in cir
culatlon and it stands upon the same
basis as your silver certificate issued
since last July"
Then We asked DR.. Stokes how about |
the other $50 that the farmer could |
have received for the cottou when he
deposited it in the warehouse and |
drew $50.
If DR.. Stokes will examine the files !
CT the Cotton Plant he will find, in an
issue after the publication of our report
of his Greenwood speech, that it stated
that our report was fair and correct |
report, but that we charged him with
making an argument that he did not
believe himself We did not intend to
make any charges against him in our
report, but we did not see how he
could make it out that the government
would lose nothing if it received only
$40 for $50 advanced on cotton. Now be
says it is on par with greenbacks.
Well, now, will the Cotton Plant tell
US how this 346, 100000 Of greenbacks
got in ci-culationo Did it get in circu-
lation in the same way as the $40 in
the Illustration used by DR.. Stokes?
Are not the treasury notes issued by
the government redeema5le in coin?
We do not mean the gold and silver
certificates. Is not the government re-
quired to keep one hundred million
dollars in gold to redeem these SAG, 6,000,-
600 Of greenbacks?
These 346,0O0,COO Of grsenbacks are
simply the notes of the government,
issued in payment of its debts incurred q,
BY the war, which pass as legal tender,
md pass as money instead of taxing
he people to raise the money and were
given to the people that the govern
nent owed and in payment of its ex-
oenses. True, the $50 would be a note

THE NEXT SPEAKERSHIP.

The candidates for the speakership Of
the next congress have been reduced to
two southern men and two western men.
Crisp, Mills, Bynum and Springer are
the four candidates still in the field,
and, although Crisp and Mills are very
close, Crisp is said to be a little ahead.
lnasmuch as few days back, among
the reelected members, Crisp had more
than three votes to Mills one, nearly the
reverse must now be the case, and it is
therefore within the range of probabi.i-
ties that Bynum or Springer may be
selected if the fight between the sup
porters of Crisp and bill becomes too
warm. These two distinguished Demo-
Gratis now appear to have about an equal
chance, and possibly the vote which
now supports Bynum or Springer may
decide the contest fer Crisp or Mills, or
possibly for Bynum or Springer. Mean
while, the race is getting sufficiently
close to become extremely interesting;
at least to the interested.

which was passed in solitary places
watching for hours the ways of birds,
had formed set Of opinions, in which
he was absolutely immovable. He was,
for instance, in his politics, Democrat
of the oldest and strictest sect, without
variableness or shadow Of turning, but
his utter Inconsistencies of his own par
tisanship was not the least charm of his
unique character. He was always in
sisting, greatly to the amusement OF his
Republican friends, that he was thor
oughly ''non-partisan;" that he was even
mugwump. He was not believer
in religious sense; man OF spotless
and exemplary life, such as ne thought
all men might and should lead, WITHOUT
an inward monitor" or voice speak
ing from on high.
In the still WAYS of nature In which he
walked he must have learned great
deal. The earth and the waters told him
all their secrets. He had curious love
about birds that we never saw
recorded in any book, and which we
never heard from any other natural
ist. The last days of his life were de-
voted to his great book the History OF
the Birds of Kansas" 700 pages, the most
beautiful book ever printed IN Kansas.
His Iabors On this book were in6uite. He
said more than once that it would be his
monument and that he wanted no other.
The work bore heavily upon; he seemed
to think mis- life bound up with 1t. and
spoke of death as near. He lived to
have the first bound copies placed in his
hands and then died as one who ceases
upon the midnight without pain.
His great collection becomes the
property of the state of Kansas. Surely
it will be preserved for its great value,
and more in memory of one brave and
tender and true. NOBLE L. PRENTIs.

SURVIVING GENERALS.

Of the old Union commanders there
are still living Generals Rosecrans and
Buell., of the Army of the Cumberland;
Gen. Schofeld, Army Of Ohio; Gen.
Butler, Army of the James; Gen. Pope,
Army of Virginia; Gen. John S. Parke,
Army of the Potomac; Gen. Banks, Army
of the Gulf; Gen. Howard, Army of the
Tennessee, and Gen. Slocum, Army Of
Georgia. Among the corps commanders
yet alive are Generals Doubleday, New
ton. Sickles, Keys, Stanley, Fitz John
Porter, w. r. Franklin, Wright, Gibbon,
Carl Schurz, McClernand, John NJ
Palmer, Dodge, w. f. Smith, McCook,
Crittenden, j. D. Cox, Alfred Pleasan-
ton, Wilson, Averill, E. N. McCook,
and Sigel
OF the Confederate generals still living
are Joe E. Johnston, Beauregard, G. w.
Smith, S. B. Buckner, Longstreet, Nc
Laws, Early, Wheeler, Forest, Hamp-
ton, A. f. Stuart, Martin and Anderson.
According TO this list death seems to
have made greater havoc among the
Confederate than among the Union gen
erals, though the disparity in the num-
5ers of survivors on the two sides is per-
haps not much out of proportion to the
aggregate numbers during the struggle.
The two armies were organized on
different bases, the Confederates, as a
rule, having larger bodies of men in their
commands.

WAS 1T PREMONITION.

Judge James Humphrey, member of
the Kansas state board of railway COM
missioners, and the late Col. n. S. Gos5
were particularly close friends and sus-
tanned a very intimate relation for many
years. A short time after Gen. Sher-
mans funeral at the dinner table in
company with Judge Humphrey and
Mr.. Greene, Col. Goss fell to talking of
the funeral, and then speaking of him
self. said: Gan ! wish when l am dead
Is that some good friend will stand be-
side my grave and say that | have led
an honest life, and have not been with
out good deeds or lasting friendships,
for no man of whom that can be said in
truth has lived in vain" Judge Hum
phrey was moved with extreme feeling
and grasping each others hands while
tears stood in their eyes, the judge re-
piled: Il love you as a brother, and
you have been my true, kind friend, and
if l should survive you l shall stand by
the side of your cold body and say that
your life has been noble, sacrificing
one, and that you have not only not
lived in vain but the world has been
better for your existence.
