THE MONEY REFUNDED.
The Gold Brick Swindler Goes Free-The
Attorney-General's Decision.
1Aiken RecOrder.1


BY the consent Of the Attorney
General, upon the payment of all costs
and expenses to the State and county
incurred in the eXtradition and iui-
prisonment Of the defendant, William
Harper, alias H. S. Hall, and also the
payment to Messrs. Weathersbee, Ken
nedy & Easterling Of the $1,000 obtain
ed from them under false pretenses, he
was discharged, it being agreed that he
was never again to enter the State of
South Carolina, upon the condition if
he did he would be rearrested upon the
same charge. The matter being simply
a misdemeanor, the State being saved
from loss, and the money being repaid,
it is very clear that the consent Of the
Attorney-General is the proper thing.
We congratulate Messrs. Weathersbee,
Kennedy & Easterling on their success
and the success of their attorneys in
getting their money, and we are salts
fed that if man ever goes about Will
liston again and says ''gold BRICK" he
will be shot outright. 1t is settled
fact that the money has been paid over
and that Harper is gone, and so endeth
the chapter. We have 1t second
handed that the money paid over by
the friends of Harper amounted to
S. 200. Harper was taken in irons on
the AS train to Augusta Monday after
noon, and the money was paid over
there and is roW IN the Bank Of Aiken.

NO FINE FEATHERs FOR THEM.
Alliance Congressman will Shun Fashion
able Society.

WASHINGTON, March 8.-The Farm
ers' Alliance Congressman are not
going into society. Representative
Jerry Simpson, being asked to-day
how the Alliance men will act towards
the fashionable society Of Washington,
replied:
This is matter on which there is a
decided opinion. The Farmers Alli-
ance members are simple, honest folk,
and their Representatives in Congress,
[ can assure you, are not going to put
on any fine feathers and ape the man
ners Of the rich. We shall return, as
far as possible, to che primitive order Of
things. You must not get the impress
sion, however, that we are an uncouth
lot of people, who delight to parade
poverty, as has been so often been rep
resented by our opponents. We shall
dress respectfully and decently, but
will not run to the extreme of dress
suits, diamonds, etc. Neither, on the
other hand, are we likely to appear at
a Presidents reception in a flannel
shirt and hobnail shoes.
"You can publish the fact as widely
as you wish that the representatives of
the Farmers Alliance in Congress do
not propose to be led away into any
social dissipation. We expect to live
comfortably but unostentatiously, and
will not allow any frivolous society
claims to interfere with our duty to the
country and to our constituents. We
do not take much stock in public din
ners, receptions, etc. Those of an
official character we shall probably at
tend, and it would not be surprising if
we should attend in ordinary dress, as
very few if any of US possess what
society seems to require-a dress suit.

PALMER ELECTED SENATOR.
Cost, Fifty Days, Time, One Hundred and
Fifty-four Ballots and Some S15o,ooo.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, March l1.-At
1921. the one hundred and fifty
fourth ballot, John NJ. Palmer was
elected United States Senator. Cockrell
voted for him. Evaus was the only Re
publican who voted. Taubeneck, +. M.
B. A., also refused to answer to his
name.
At 1890 the Republican absentees an
swered to their call, and proceeded to
vote for Lindley.
Great excitement prevailed. a MEM
Der on the Republican side wanted to
''do up" some of his colleagues. The
one hundred and fifty-fourth ballot re-
suited as follows: Palmer 103, Lindley
100, Streeter l. Taubeneck voted for
Streeter.
At 1910 Palmer was declared elected,
amid intense excitement.
The fight over the senatorship lasted
fifty days, and has cost the State $780,
600.
GEN. PALMER WAS THE BEST CANDI-
DATE IN THE CONTEST.
WASHING TON, March l2.-President
Polk of the National Alliance, declined
this morning to express his views on
the election in Illinois of Gen. Palmer
to the Senate, and the position of the
three Aliancemen in the recent contest
in Illinois, further than to say that it
appeared to him to have fight be-
tween the Republican and Democratic
parties, rather than contest between
those two parties and tie Alliance.
The Alliance, he thought, had fought
manful!y for principles, and though
they had not been victorious in send
ing a Farmers Alliance man to the
Senate, he believed that Gen. Palmer's
election would generally be regarded
with more favor than that of any other
candidate.
President Polk said further that he
knew of no promises being made by
Gen. Palmer as to his policy in the
Senate on any questions whatever.

Luther reformed the Church from

has come when we must reform the

the best moral force in the country,
and we won by them in Kansas. The
way to get these reforms is to send men

to encourage vice, since the evil and
the good are to receive equal measure
Of praise and glory.
We de not know why it is that wo-
men are held less strictly accountable
for what they say than are men, unless
it be that they are more in subsection
to social customs that require a certain
amount Of insincerity from them.
There are certain number Of polite
phrases current in the social world that
all use, whether they mean them OF
not, unless they are willing to be
thought ridiculously prudish for OBJ
jecting to speak what is untrue. Now,
most women are desperately afraid OF
committing solecism, or OF being
laughed at, and so they go on repeat
ing, parrot-like, the remarks that 20
liteness requires them to make about
being delighted, charmed, glad or sorry,
even though their feelings are just to
the reverse of their words. If they
think at all of the untruths they are
telling, they console themselves by the
reflection that no one attaches any real
value to these phrases. They will bid
servant say they are not at home to
an unwelcome visitor, and yet be un-
welcome visitor, and yet be unreason'
ably angry if that same servant tells
them falsehood about household af-
fairs. It is sometimes argued that
"Not at home" is conventional way
of saying 1t is inconvenient to see one;
but probably the domestic is not capa-
BILE of making these fine distinctions,
and he thinks that since you have or
dered him to tell a lie on bis own ac-
count if occasion serve.
Each of US has in his mind, unless
be has been very unfortunate in life,
the memory of some women he has
known from whose lips he never heard
the slightest prevarication, and we are
sure it is to this type his ideal woman
belongs. They might be thought old
fashioned in these times for not telling
social untruths; but it was very sweet
old fashion, that Of always speaking
the truth, and we hope that in 1.-THE

soon come when it will again be "the

BEAUFORT, March ia very i'm
portant transfer of real estate vas made
here yesterday, and. if it turns out as
has been predicted, it will add much to
the prosperity of this section. A tract
of land containing three hundred and
fifty acres, owned by S. w. Rowland,
fronting upon Battery Creek, was sold
through Mr.. James N. Crofut for Sl0,-
600 to Messrs Fayden & Hunt, of Bos-
ton, Mass. The purchasers are largely
interested in extensive cotton manu-
featuring plants in the New England
States, and they propose to remove the
machinery of one Of their mills down
here and erect a large and suitable
house to receive it on the property pur-
chased.
The total amount of capital to be
invested by these gentlemen will be
s2O0,000 The work of constructing the
necessary plant will be commenced
shortly. In reply to question from
the News and Courier reporter, the
representative Of the firm stated that
they intended to utilize local labor,
which would be much cheaper than
imported labor.
1t is rumored that other real estate
transfers equally as important as the
above will be shortly consumated,
which viii! open the eyes of those in
tereSted in the prosperity Of this Sec
ton.

it is known that members Of the lega.

bis recall will be asked by the Imperial

THE EVER-READY SELF-COCKER.
Theodore Allen Wounded by stray Shot
Fired in Hampton Row.
fSoecial to News and Courier. I

Especial to News and Courier.]
HAMPTON, S. c., March 14.-After
the inspection by Gen. Farley yester-
day ball Was held in the graded school
building. About o'clock p. ~. diff
Guilty arose on the street near the school
house between Charley Harrison, lad,
and young man named Abe Ruth,
son of Ex-Sherif A. NJ. Ruth. Harri-
sons brother took Charley's place, and
in the fight that ensued punished Ruth
severely, at least so say eye-witnesses.
Friends of both parties interfered and
separated them.
A few minutes after the fight ended
the parties left in different directions.
Three, some say four, shots were fired
in quick succession, evidently from
selfacting pistol, all shot by the same
party. A young man named Theodore
Allen, who had just left the ball room
and had no connection with the diff
Guilty, was shot, unintentionally, of
course.
The ball entered the right breast
about one or one and half inches to
the right of the nipple. The physicians
have been unable to locate the ball or
to form any. idea of its direction.
Young Allen was carried to DR.. S. F.
Rays office, where he was attended by
Drs. Ray and J. B. Harvey. This
morning DR.. Folk, of Brunson, was
called in. The physicians think the
wound is an exceedingly dangerous
one, but not necessarily fatal. Young
Allen is now at Mauldin's Hotel. His
mother and stepfather are with him.
Allen is perfectly conscious and, though
suffering instensely, talks calmly about
the unfortunate affair. He says that
Abe Ruth shot him.

Interesting Facts About the Phosphate
Premiums.

Recently the Columbia Phosphate
company made very liberal offer of
several premiums to be competed for by
the farmers of the State at the next
State fair. The following communica-
ton received by Col. Thos. w. Hollo-
way, secretary of the State Agricultural
and Mechanical Society, with his reply
thereto, was given for publication, as
the information, as the information
contained in the letter will be of inter-
est to all the farming class:
FORT MoTTE, S. c., March 7, 1891.
DEAR SIR:-In competing for the
prize Offered by the Columbia Phos-
phate company, are competitors allow
ed to use any other grade Of fertilizer
than those regularly manufactured by
the company? I would like to have a
special fertilizer prepared by the COM
pany if such is allowable.
Let me hear from you at once.
Respectfully,

REPLY.

PoMARIA, Newberry county, S. c.,
March 9, 1891.
DEAR SIR am in receipt of your
postal as to the requirements of the
committee of this society in the use of
the Columbia Phosphate company's
fertilizer to be used in competition for
the premiums offered by that company.
I quote the rule bearing on the case:
"For the largest yield of cotton upon
one acre of land manured with ferti-
lizer manufactured and sold by the
Columbia Phosphate company, s2N.OO.
Same requirement as to second largest
yields, I beg to call your attention to
section 5 of the rules:
Zach competitor shall make to the
secretary of the society written state
ment under oath, setting forth in detail
the character and the quality of the
land cultivated; the name or variety of
seed planted; the brand of fertilizer; the
amount applied and mode of applica-
ton; the system of cultivation and
manner of harvest; the gross yield of
seed cotton and the total cost of the
crop. "This statement shall be filed
with the secretary cf the society Ga or
before a da5e to be hereafter fixed,
notice of which will be given to each
competitor by the secretary"
No specified grade of the goods is
given, but 1 take it that either one of
the brands made by the company
should be used in competition, as all
competitions should be on the same
footing in the use ofthe published grade
of the goods manufactured by the Co.
lumbia Phosphate company. ga fertl-
Iizer manufactured and sold by the
Columbia Phosphate Co.," might be
construed as to the use of any fertilizer
manufactured by that company, but at
the same time the rule says "manu-
featured and sold by the company" 1t
appears that land soldn would refer to
the brands of goods advertised for sale
by that company, showing a certain
analysis Of the fertilizers manufactured
by the Columbia Phosphate company.
Yours very truly,
THOS. w. HOLLOWAY, Sec.
The phosphate company announces
that the premiums are offered for the
best yield made with any of their fertil-
izers whatever, entirely without refer
ence to the brand.
