Asking Leading Questions.

RALEIGH, N. c., November 25:-Secre-
tary Barnes, of the State Farmers Alli-
ance, has raised great stir and caused
one of the sensations of the season by
sending an irregular letter to office hold
ers. This says that the alliance has
adopted a resolution as follows: "That
the State Secretary be instructed to write
a letter to each of the Senators, Repro,en-
tatiyes, State officers, Judges of Supreme
and Superior Courts, and Solicitors,
making inquiry if he has used railroad
pass since the election. Ifno reply is re-
ceived, the secretary shall send a regis
tered letter making the Same inquiry, and
then, if no reply IS received, he shall
have the letter published and kept in
some of the reform papers. He says that
in obedience to that resolution he asks an
answer as to whether the pass has been
used since the election, and Barnes is re-
ceiving some scorching letters, the writers
of which tell him in plain language that
they consider that the alliance has no
right TO make such inquiry, but that the
resolution and his letter are gratuitously
impertinent. Some of the office holders
will publish their letters, as they do not
thinl; he reform press will publish thom
in l!.Iyarbled form.

Keitt on Irby.
ENoREE PLASTATIoS, S. c.,
November q, 1891.

To tic Editor of the GrccnviIc Ne,cs !:
ty to God and our country and the mag
nitude of the responsibility that rests
upon US The manhood Of the State will
have to be up and doing if our Christian
civilization and homes are redeemed and
saved from the barb2rism of the vile.
All right thinking men should unite in
the good work.
Tie Grcenville Nevs, of the 18th inst,
has just reached me. From it learn
that the notorious Irby, who for nearly
one year has been at his old trade, hiding
out, has crawled out of his hole and
prates. lie is represented to have used
the following language:
".The farmers alliancemen of the State
are Democrats, and they may be relied
upon to vote for the Democratic nominee,
if it is the DEVIL" "There may he few
like Keitt who will not vote for him, but
this will not amount to much" Because
alliancemen in the chaos and confusion
that reigned supreme last year were de-
ceived and in some instances voted for
tho servants Of the devil these vile crea-
lures now think they can deceive them
again and influence them to vote for their
god, the devil himself with his horns,
STlQ lIOuS duu Ai1O 9o oSoAoA o'
That Irby belongs, soul, mind and body
to the devil and has served him faithfully
all his days is we'll known.
It was waste of words for him to de-
clare that he worships at thu shrine of the
dovil and gives him his full support. II
this creature has any shame, if he has as
much virtue in him as Judas Iscariot had
he will 20 and hang himself and save the
State from further disgrace.
The writer is sure he is without an ele-
ment Of virtue. When he goes to Wash
ington he will be shunned by the virtu-
GUS and upright rs leper. People of in
tegrity can have nothing to do with such
character. His published interviews
show he would have the world believe
allianceman in South Carolina are as low
as he is-worshippers of the devil. OFF,
cial position cannot elevate an unworthy
man, t,lt scurvy fellow drags the posi-
ton down to his low level. South Caroli-
ma is in total eclipse Let the curtain
drop. Respectfully,
ELLISON S. KEITT.

A GreenViIIe Failure.

GREENv1LLE, S. c., November H.-
Dacus g. Jordan, one Of the largest mer-
camille establishments of this city, made
an assignment tonight to j. c. Rogers
their bookkeeper, for the benefit of their
creditors. The assignment is without
preference, except that those creditors
who accept it's terms are to be paid first.
The firm has been in financial trouble
for some time and the efforts to compro.
mise with its creditors at 50 cents on the
dollar cash, or IS cents by waiting until
next fall, failed, some of the creditors re-
fusing to accept those terms. Suits were
then begun, resulting in the assignment
The liabilities are 1000; actual and
nominal assets about the same. The
largest creditors are 81. r. Clafin d Co..
New York, S4,S00, Hurst, Purnell g. Co.,
Baltimore, 5000; Myer, Rhinehardt q
Co., Baltimore S1,70O; Armstrong, Gator
d Co., Baltimore, $1,000.
The firm has done large time busi-
ness, and about Sll, 900 is owing them.
The establishment was known as the
"Alliance Store," because the Alliance
had selected it as the place to do its
t.ading. The firm had offered the ALI
ance Better terms than any other. A
meeting of creditors will be held Friday,
December 4.

thing, into the understanding of which

The Secret Of Success,

To Tic Editor Of the Ncws a'd Courier. ::
bers I will give my experience in raising
the ribbon sugarcane in the Piedmont
section at Cokesbury, in Abbeville Coun,
ty. This year planted on the 10th OF
April, which was late for ribbon cane, a
plot of ground eighteen feet by. ninety
feet long, the twerty eighth part ofan acre
and l gathered and made twelve gallons
of good syrup, besides what [ sold, eat,
aud what was stolen from the patch.
That is at the rate Of 33G gallons per
acre.
My experiment will show the farmers
in the up-countrv tina! tho ribbon cane
can be raised successfully in the Pied
mont section of the State. 1t is much
botter when made than sorghum and will
yield more. Then, too, you can make
sugar from it with very Little trouble:
One quarter Of an acre we'll fertilized
will make all the sugar and syrup one
family would need. That is much better
than raising cotton at six and seven cents
per pound to buy it. Let US raise our
own supplies at homo and we will pros-
per. B. G.. HART.

Jerry Rusk on Fine Cotton.

WASHINGTON, November 9.-"Uncle
Jerry" Rusk, the picturesque and affable
Secretary Of Agriculture, endorses the
views contained in recent editorial IN
the Ne,cs and Courier to the effect that
Egyptian cotton imported here should be
made to pay q duty. The discussion
arose from statement made in these dis
patches by Congressman Elliott, whose
attention had been directed to the matter
by various editorials on the subject in the
Ne,os and Courier, indicating his purpose
to introduce in the coming Congress q
bill or resolution providing for the impo-
sition of duty upon foreign raised cot
ton, which now comes in duty free, in di-
rect competition with the cotton grown in
South Carolina and adjacent States. The
New England manufacturers, who are
benefited from the free importation OF
Egyptian cotton, through their protection
organs took issue with Col. Elliott and
those who believe with him that unjust
discrimination is being exercised under
the existing tariff law to the disadvantage
of Southern cotton-growers.
A copy of the Ne,cs and Courier, OF
November 9, was submitted to Secretary
Rusk by your representative, and his
attention was specially directed to the ar
ticle therein on Sumatra tobacco and
Egyptian cotton. Being subsequently
asked for an expression of his views in
reference to the subject discussed in this
article, the Secretary replied very frank
ly, as follows: eyes, have read that ar
ticle with great deal of interest, and
fully concur in the suggestion that the
imports of foreign cotton, In the face OF
The great increase Of such imports during
the past year, should be subjected to an
adequate duty. The experience Of the
wool grower has shown that he has been
greatly aided by judicious tariff on raw
wool, and it has also been shown, notably
in the case of one of the coarse or carpet
wools, that an inadequate duty was serl-
ously preiudicial to his interests. The
fact presented by one of the papers quoted
in the article in question, regarding the
advance in prices OF tobacco grown in
New England, as result of the advance
in the tariff on foreign tobacco, prove
conc.usively the advantage to the tobacco
grower of such protection, and am for
the application of similar protection to
the cotton-grower, where it Is needed. 1
am a Protectionist, and advocate protec-
tive tariff on the lines indicated by one
of its chief advocates, namely, the pro-
lection of cur American homes, the home
of the farm laborer as much as tho home
of the mill operatives. The greatest good
of the greatest number is good American
doctrine, and it must not be forgotten
that there are at least three times as many
people in the United States laborlng in
the fields for the production of raw ma
terial as there are at work in the mills
and factories producing manufactured ar"
ticles'

Slowly Dying from LockjaW.

AUBURN, n. Y, Novemb ber CIVIL
liam Pangburn, {. resident Of Savannah,
Wayne County, and travelling salesman
for the Osbourne Company. Of this city,
is reported dying from lockjaw, resulting
from most singular cause. Although
he is 60 years of age, two weeks ago a
large tooth made its appearance in his
jaw, cutting through the gum at the e5-
treme end Of the jaw, back of his wisdom
tooth, on the left side. The cutting Of the
tooth was attended by the most Intense
pain, and when1t had forced itselfthrough
the gum, Pangburn's face began to swell.
The pain continuing Pangburn went to q
dentist, who made vain effort to extract
the tooth. These efforts aggravated the
pain and soreness.
Pangburn's faco continued swelling,
and it now measures moro than a foot
across. The tooth continues growing,
and Pangburn cannot open his jaws,
which arc tightly pressed together. All
the nourlshment he receives is what ho
succeeds in slipping between his teeth.
His sufferings are terrible, and unless ne
can soon be relieved in some way. his
physician says, it does not seem possible
that his life can be saved.

falls very farshort of attaining to the

sImak such q document coming from the
Chief Executive of the commonwealth of
South Carolina. Itcontains much abuse
Of men better than hinself-men

{ tacks former officials by Tillman's favor

ssslish TINT fact by hemeaning others where
their opinions come in conflict with his

lace at least in this instance the paper
4 isa positively aiscreditable to any man
holding the exalted position of Governor
Rf South Carolina.
I'M his eager desire to make it appear
that under; his administration the treasu-
~ OF the State is in more healthful
( condition on October 81, 1891, than it was
,sass October 81, 1890, under the last admin
iaastration, fhs message claims difference
of SS7 7,523. .06 in favor Of the year ending
October 81, 1891, whereas ex-Treasurer
. McIver points out the fact that the Gov
ssernor has made mistake of nearly s4O,-
600 in his figures, and that all that can be
Justly claimed in favor Of the fiscal year
ending October 81, 1891, is sI7, ,Oo2.4 and,
therefore, Tillman has been under the
necessity of admitting the mistake.
We think his suggestions as to change
Sin County government will be found i'm
practicable, and would be more costly to
the Taxpayers than the present system.
The message is not such a document as
was expected at this time. It's tendency
5is to keep alive the animosities created by
4 last years campaign. Instead Of COM
prob ensiye report of the condition Of the
State anJlts institutions, it is turned into
an alignment to justify tho ill-advised
ehafges and statements made in heated
campaign, and channel through which
to lash those who have fallen under the
ban of bis displeasure.
The Governor could have prepared a
message that would have suited his most
extreme supporters, and at the same time
proven conciliatory to those unfriendly
to him. he uuwisely chose to widen the
breach between himself and his oppo-
nents.
