Suppose You- Own Case.
TGreenville News.

You, man, who are reading this, sup
pose the sub-treasury and the land loan
scheme was in operation to-day. How
would you go about getting a dollar?
Have you any cotton or wheat? Sup
pose you borrowed eighty per cent. of
it present price on it? Wouldn't you be
twenty per cent. behind where you al
ready are? You can sell either of them
in Greenville on sight and getaone hun.
dred cents on the dollar of their full
market price.
Do you own land already mortgaged?
Suppose you borrowed money from the
government on it? Wouldn't you have
to turn it right over to the man you
have already borrowed from to give the
government clear title?
Suppose you have neither cotton nor
land? You could not get dollar from
the government even if the treasury
vaults were packed with silver and pa
per currency.
Character and credit are capital now.
Under the proposed system how would
they he worth a rap? Now the man
who owns some property and who has
the reputation of paying his debts can
generally borrow money on his own
name or with good endorsement.
With the sub-treasury and land loan in
operation he could not get dollar un-
less he deposited or mortgaged. Private
money lenders would be driven out OF
business because they could not COM
pete with one and two per cent. rates.
When you talk of the land loan and
sub-treasury think of your own situa-
ton, and then take your neighbors one
by one and say how any OF you would
be helped.

A GIGANTIC SWINDLE.
Officers of Building and Loan Association
Arrested.

CHICAGO, August 10.-Alfred Down
ing, president, and n. H. Tolman,
vice-president of the National Capital
Savings Building and Loan Associa-
ton Of North America, were arrested
to-day by the Postofice Inspector
Stewart, charged with using the mails
for fraudulent purposes.
It is charged that the men who have
been conducting this association have
swindled thousands of people from
every State in the Union and taken
from 100000 to 100000 and given no
thing in return. The victims hail from
Maine to California and are numbered
among the rich and poor alike.
From the facts already in the posses
sion of the authorities, the scheme will
parallel that Of the great Fund W."
swindle which was broken up about
FIVE years ago. There are still two men
at liberty, they having disappeared
several weeks ago. These two men, it
is believed, got away with most of the
funds.
Downing and Tollman were held in
$1,000 bonds each by Commissioner
Hoyne. Both had lawyers on hand
and Tollman was quickly bailed out.
Downing was unable to secure bonds
men and spent the time in the custody
of the deputy marshal. One Of the at
torneys for the men says there was no
doubt that the concern was rotten to
the core but he, believed that Downing
and Tollman were simply the victims
Of others guilt.

BETTER PRICES FOR GOOD COTTON
From Five to Ten Dollars More Per Bale
Made by Careful Picking and
Ginning.

WILMINGTON, n. c., August L.
Alexander Sprunt & Son, cotton export
ers, have issued the following circular,
which is important to cotton planters.
1.-The accumulation of low grade cot
ton has overstocked the markets of the
world, and this surplus will probably
have to be sacrificed at extremely low
prices. On the other hand, the supply
of good cotton is quite limited, and
there is always market for the better
grades. 1t is therefore q matter of the
utmost importance to our friends the
planters, that extraordinary care be
taken in handling the next crop. The
greatest precaution should be taken to
pick the cotton only when it is perfect
ly dry, avoiding stained and sandy
cotton, which should be most carefully
kept separate from the better qualities.
Then exercise care in setting the gin
saws, SO as to avoid cutting the staple
and when packed, see that no gin falls,
inferior cotton, sand or water is per-
mitted in the bailing. This preparation
will insure ready sale at the best
current prices, while the neglect of
these precautions will probably cause
loss of from five to ten dollars per bale
to the farmer upon every bale be pro-
duces.
"Hitherto many of our planters could
afford to take the easier course and gin
good, bad and Indifferent cotton to-
gether, but as the indications point to
ruinous prices for medium and inferior
grades next season, it behooves every
cotton producer to exercise the utmost
care in preparing his crop for market.
1--WE trust that our friends to whom
this letter is addressed will appreciate
our motive in offering this advice for
their benefit, and that they will circu-
late it among their neighbors."

LET THE DISCUSSION GO ON.

We confess that we do not admire
ne IfFgnce plan Of ofendorsing ascheme,
and then going before the country with
the announcement that discussion IS
now in order. But let discussion go on.
Ifit is conducted in the proper splrl1'
and with the desire to reach the truth,
good must result. Already the good
result of the free discussion IN the
newspapers of the sub-treasury scheme
is beginning to be felt.
The leaders themselves are not so
much welded to the plan. Livingstone,
of Georgia, proposes modification OF
it, and even President Stokes IN his
speech at Prosperity, said: 1.-THE ALI
ance does not claim that it Will nave
the sub-treasury ware house or nothing
We say if that is not sound If that Is
not the best, why give US something
better. We will take it, and thank the
I,or6.n Col. E. S. Keitt also, has an
other plan to propose, which if not diff
ferent from the sub-treasury scheme,
certainly modifes it very materially
It is acknowledged both by Alliance
men and non-Alliance men that some
thing is the matter; that money! unu-
sually "tight"; that there is wrong
somewhere in the finances Of the coun-
try.
While we donotand cannot accept the
sub-treasury plan as solution OF the
difficulty, we are rot opposed to 1t be-
cause it is an Alliance demand. we
are with the Alliance in most its de-
mands, and have been, and further
more we believe there is too much con-
servatism and good sense in the order
to carry it irretrievably into any thing
wild or revolutionary.
We hope and believe that good Will
finally sesult from the widespread dis
cussion of financial questions which
has largely been brought about by the
Alliance.
More thought and investigation IS
being turned upon the true relations OF
the government to the finances and
commercial prosperity of the country
than ever before in the history of the
United States, and sooner or later the
right solution will be reached.
Therefore we say, let discussion OF
these questions 60 on between Alliance
men and non-Alliace men in a spirit
Of mutual forbearance, and with an
honest desire to reach tie truth, and no
one need fear that the final outcome
will not be for the good Of all.

THE RICHMOND. TERMINAL.
Serious Charges Brought Against the
Management-TheA Answer of the
Company.

NEW YORK, August S.-An ATTACK
on the Richmond Terminal system to-
day made charges against the company
as follows: That the three divisions otthe
system, Richmond and Danville, Geor
eia Central aud East Tennessee, viii
Show for the year ended July 80, 1891, 6
deficit of SIT ,O0G, while the debt on three
roads increased in same time SIG, $4,000
that the Richmond and Danville in the
year earned u per cent. and yet paid 8
dividend of 10 per cent, making the
deficit on this line 81 ,026, $50; that the
Georgia, Central barely earned Interest
on its bonds, and that the East Tennes-
see earned only sos, $40 above charges
John II. Inman, president of the Ter
minal Company, was not IN town TO,
day. Other officials of the road called
attention to the following statement to
offset the charges:
That an issue Of Danville and West
ern bonds had been counted at 81 ,O0O,-
900, when only $500, 600 were in exist
ence; that an apparent Increase OF S35,:
600 in Richmond and Danville general
mortgage sizes had heen reported,
whereas tt Sc bonds bad been issued
20 take the place Of matured first rnortg-
age sizes; that it had been the policy OF
the Richmond and Danville to make
liberal advances to leased lines, as for
instance one of $780, 900 to the Virginia
Midland, and one of 81, ,l00,O 600 to the
Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line, both
of which had since been repaid; that
$4,000 had been expended for the
Georgia Pacific in building new shops;
that the increase of bonded indebted
ness had carried with ita corresponding
increase in the company's property
which had not been taken into account,
the additional property being the Sa-
vannah and Atlantic, Covington and
Macon, Chattanooga, Rome and Co.

nah and Western, and an extension of
the Mobile and. Girard. Under the

WHAT PRESIDENT INNAN SAYS.
NEW YORK, August 10.-President
Inman, of the Richmond Terminal
Company, to-day made the following
statement in reply to the charges that
the company's system had declared the
dividends in periods when the opera
tions of the roads showed deficits in
meeting fixed charges:
'sIn reference to the statements that
have recently been made in regard to
the financial condition of the Richmond
Terminal Company and of the several
divisions Of the properly, I have to say
that there is no portion of the system,
which consists of the Richmond and
Danville, Georgia Central and East
Tennessee, which is not earning its
fixed charges. When the detailed re,
ports now in preparation are completed
and given to the public it will be seen
that the statements which have been
made are misleading, and that the
Richmond Terminal Company and its
separate divisions are entirely solvent.
Each of these companies owns security
of unquestionable value largely in ex.
cess Of its outstanding Indebtedness"

A GREAT PROJECT.
Property of a New Railroad Mortgaged for
Nine Million Dollars.
Especial to Columbia Register.

Especial to Columbia Register.
CHARLESTON, S. C., August 5.-The
biggest railroad deal of the century has
Just developed here. A. B. Morton,
Vice President of the Cincinnati and
Cape Fear Railroad, who was here last
week, had recorded in Berkeley County
a mortgage for nine million dollars on
the property of that road. The project
is to run road from Norfolk to Charles
ton East of the Atlantic Coast Line,
entering the city on bridge across Coop
er River, crossing Ashley River and
going down to Savannah. The railroad
now has line built from Norfolk to
Southport, n. C., and is engaged in
constructing a line from Southport to
Conway, S. C. From there the road
will be extended via Georgetown down
to Charleston. The company has pur-
chased the franchise of the Mt. Pleas
ant and Little River Railroad with all
the necessary land grants. The new
road will, it is said, give the shortest
route North and West now in exist
ence. The fees for recording the mort
gage amounted to $40.

STOKES AS EDITOR AND STOKES AS
DEBATER.

We were at the Prosperity meeting
and heard both President Stokes and
Senator Butler. We were pleased with
President Stokes fairness and courtesy
in conducting the discussion. Nothing
was said by either fthsse two speakers
which could be considered harsh or
discourteous. But in the last issue OF
the Cotton Plant, Editor Stokes is
neither fair nor courteous in his hand
ling of Senator Buffers speech. The
following extract is particularly outra-
geous.
At Prosperity Senator Butler divided
all men into three classes. Two OF
these classes are honest including him
self. The Hthird one" he said, VINO
borrows at any price and never 1ntenos
to nav it back. This last class IS the cn1e
qUEo ayG7,tS to borrow at 2 per cent: (ltal-
les ours). From the News and Cou-
rier's report This IS a remarhaole @
statement from the Senator. The man
'.who borrows at any price ana never
intends to pay it back" is thief ana a
scoundrel. According to the senator
therefore 40, 900 Alliance man IN South
Carolina, and a good many non-Aih-
ance men, who would like to borrow
money at 2 per cent, are thieves ana
seoundrels. How do you like that,
farmers ofSouth Carolina? 1t is an In
famous charge; but since it comes from
a United States Senator, Of course II
viii keep our mouths shut-till the
next election.
In the above extract Editor Stokes
attempts, by course of deduction to
convert a statement which was under
stood by all present, to contain no nlng
at the Alliance into an infamous charge
that 10000 Alliance menin South Caro-
lima are thieves and scoundrels. L 90
not believe that there was single AL
lance man, or non-Allianceman on the
ground who put or could put this con-
struction upon what the Senator
said. Itappears by the report OF the
Press and Reporter, which Editor
Stokes reproduces in his own paper,
that the expression was cheered. Ger
tainly it is strange that this should
have been the case, in crowd COM
posed for the most part Of Alliance
men, if the crowd thought that it con-
tained an infamous charge against Al
lance men. No, Editor Stokes very
well knows that Senator Butler in
tended nothing of the hid, and only
the ingenuity of Editor Sto <cs has been
able to. discover it,

NO THIRD TICKET IN LOUISIANA.

New ORLEANS, August 5.-1tiS now

ance in session at Lafayette will not IA
vor the third party movement or put
an Alliance ticket in the field for the
State election. 4 minority favors this,
but the President of the order and two
thirds ofthe delegates believe in acting
inside the Democratic party. 1t is
probable, however, that the Alliance
will formally suggest the name of its
President, Capt. T. S. Adams, for
Governor, subject TO the approval OF
the Democratic State Convention.
The movement for third party was
by the State Alliance lecturer, Guice,
and supported by the delegates from
the northwestern parishes. The farmers

its charter, but refused to approve the
strong resolutions adopted by some of
the Alliances declaring for revolution.

A BOLD BANK ROBBER.
A Desperate vita a Pistol in Either Hand
Terroizes the Town, Shoots the CASH
Ter and Several Bystandcrs.

LIMA, Ohio, August S.-Shortly after
the EXCHANGE Bank at Columbus
Grove opened this morning, stranger
entered the hardware store which ad-
Joined the bank and asked for two re-
volvers. After loadisg them he pointed
them at the proprietor's head, telling
him to take bis pay out of that. He
then entered the bank. The cashier,
IT. J. Maple, had just opened the bank,
of which of which his father is proprie-
tor and laid out about $1,000 near the
cashiers xind The intlpderipme-
diately began shooting; the cashier was
struck twice, once in the arm and once
in the right side. AS he fell to the, floor,
an old farmer, William Vandebark,
aged sixty, entered the door. The rob-
Der turned and shot him through and
through. The old man fell dead in his
tracks. A third man sat in the lobby
of the bank paralyZed with fear. He
was not molested. The desperate then
grabbed S1,5OO in greenbacks, showed
them in the pocket of his sack coat and
darted out the door, shouting: "I'm
second Jesse James," Quite crowd
had been attracted by the sound OF the
shots but there was scattering when
the wild-eyed murderer appeared on
the street having gun in either hand
and shooting indiscriminately. One OF
the bystanders. Henry Buck, was
struck down by bullet. The fel-
low ran to the outskirts Of the
town and disappeared in a big corn
field. The desperate is described
as being short and heavy set with
a full face and small black NOUS
tache. He wore a black alpaca cap,
black sack coat, blue pants with white
stripes and no vest. He appeared to
be about 80 or IS years old. A posse
was quickly organized and started in
pursuit. Another posse started from
West Cairo and others rapidly organ
lied. 1t is thought the wounds of
Maple and Buck are not necessarily
fatal. Vandebark who was killed was
q PROSPEROUS farmer III Union Town
ship. He leaves a large family. Big
rewards are offered for the capture of
the villain. Columbus Grove is a town
of 1000 inhabits.n Us, twelve miles north
of Lima.
LIMA, Ohio, August S.-Later.-At
II o'clock tonight, the Columbus
Grove Bank rcbber was still at large,
and the chase has been abandoned un-
til daylight. Almost everybody in the
northern part of Allen County have
been out all day looking for the des--
perado. He is alone and on foot, and
trace of him has been obtained at
different points. A dozen corn fields
and woods were surrounded, and when
capture was thought certain, the rogue,
like will-of-the-wisp, made his escape.
1t is not thought be can get away.
The farmer who was shot is still alive
but cannot recover, as the ball passed
his back into his stomach.
Cashier Maple will recover. The au-
thorities of Columbus Grove will offer |
a liberal reward for the capture of the
robber. He was seen in Grove the
lay before the robbery and claimed to
be silk hat mender.

SENATOR GEORGE ALL RIGHT.
The Story of His Defeat Declared to ce
without Foundation.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, August IA
special from Canton, Miss, says: The
report that Senator George is defeated
in the primaries is utterly without
foundation. He failed to carry his
county (CarrolD yesterday, which was
entirely due to large Alliance majo-
rity. The vote stands to-day: George
66; Barksdale %. 1t requires 80 to elect,
and George is certain to get 10 instru-
cted votes. Even Barksdale's friends
concede Georges election, and their
only hope now is to elect Barksdale as
WalthalIs successor, which they cam
not possibly do. It is not believed that
the report Of Senator Georges defeat
originated in this State.

Colonel Keitt and the Peoples Party.
LGlenn Springs Letter to Aiken Jour-
nal and Review

LGlenn Springs Letter to Aiken Jour-
nal and Review
Col. Ellison S. Keitt, of Newberry, is
spending few days here. He is a
prominent allianceman, and last year
was candidate before the legislature
fer fer tie the SSenate He was
defeated, and afterwards accused Presi-
dent Stokes of selling out the alliance
in the senatorial fight for the shadow of
being governor in 1892. Colonel Keitt
says he is no longer member of the
Democratic party; that he had worked
for it. in the past, but would work for
it no more. He thinks the peoples
party, at the conference to be held next
February, should put out presiden-
tial ticket to be voted for at the next
general election. He thinks that the
ticket should have good man from the
South and one from the West on it.
The colonel has pet scheme for the
solving of the financial problem. 1t is
entirely original with him, and should
he be selected as he "good man from
the South" Oh the peoples party
ticket, and ge> elec+,i, be will have the
opportunity OF putting his scheme into
practical operation.
