SIX REASONS.

Mr.. Z. S. Hall, president of the
Farmers Alliance of Missouri, is out
spoken in his opposition to the sub
treasury. A number OF other promi-
nent alliancemen agree with Mr.. Hall.
Among them are Governor Northern,
of Georgia, and Governor Tillman, of
South Carolina. Mr.. Hall gives six
reasons why he opposes the measure.
They seem to US to be good reasons
clearly stated. He is quoted as saying:
al am uncompromisingly opposed
to this scheme, for tie following
reasons: First, it is in violation of the
constitution of the United States;
secondly, it is suhversive OF, and direct
ly opposed to, the constitution, princi-
piles any demands OF our own order;
thirdly, it is unjnst and inequitable;
fourthly, it is very extravagant; filthy,
it would bring financial ruin to the
farmers of our country and to all other
classes Of business; siXthly, it will
have, and is now having, the effect Of
drawing the minds of farmers aD
other laborers of our country from t..e
greatest curse of the age, class legisla-
ton, and, if adopted, will commit US
to that principle which will fasten
these curses upon US for all time.'"

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ACLASS
w in cutting and fitting garments
now in Newberry, and any one who is
deficient in this art should not let the
opportunity pass without notice.
Why educate ou" children in the lit
erary branches and leglect this most
important, yet at the same time least
generally understood of all the dcmes-
tic arts?
We admit that this is the most I'M
portant part of a chi!d's education, and
that it will make any one indeperden
who desires to follow tailoring or dress
making. If we are rich to-day, we may
be poor tomorrow, and many lady
has supported herself and children by
sewing.
We will teach any one, from child
of twelve to lady of fifty years old, to
compete with the best dress makers.
Just coming from Edgefield, We will
give you a testimonial signed by few
of our large class in that place.
We the undersigned ladies anG gen.
tfemen of Edgefeld have taken instruc-
tions in the use of the National Gar
ment Cutter, and cheerfully recon-
mend it to all as being perfect, mas
much as by its lse we can cut any gar
ment worn by either sex at auv age
with perfect fits in the latest styles
without rebasting or reftting in every
case.
It is so simple that any one of aver
age intelligence can learn it in from
three days to one week.

If the Government Can Make Money Why
Tax the People?

Col. Bob Ingersoll in recent utter
ance gave expression to some thoughts
that may interest some OF our farmer
friends and others who are discussing
the sub treasury scheme. the money
question, and other kindred subjects.
Here is what he says:
81 do not blame the farmers for try
ing to better their condiTff65h G'ney
:, nave -5.t -cr5.ftr,itiff1y had hard time and
they feel that they have been oppressed
by the bankers; railroads, merchants,
and patent medicine makers, to say
nothing Of ministers and lawyers.
Everything seems 70 be against them.
They have to fight frosts and floods
and droughts and all sorts Of worms
and bugs and spectators and cyclones,
and all the birds of the air. Every
body and everything takes toll from
the farmers. No wonder that they
want to do something. do not think
the planks in the Cincinnati platform
can he fastened together and held in
place. The farmers ought to know
that the resolutions passed by political
conventions raise neither corn nor
wheat, neither can they affect prices.
I do not believe that the Government
can make money by law any more
than it can make good crops by law.
The Government can't support the
people. The people have got to sup
port the Government. The Govern
ment is a perpetual paun>r. I ask this
one question-if the Government can
make money why should it collect
taxes? Why not make what it needs
and stop bothering the people? Still,
I am glad the farmers are discussing
these questions. They will find out
what the Government can and can
not do.n

THAT SECRET CONFERENCE.

Newspaper reporters were very much
puzzled in Columbia last week over a
secret meeting held in that city of the
reform leaders. Nothing was given
out for publication and the reporters
failed to "get on" to anything. One of
them sent out the report that one of
the things considered was the establish
ment of daily newspaper in Columbia.
That would be hard on the Register If
true, for the Register has been lending
it's power to the administration. But
The Herald and News does not believe
that the Register has any need OF
alarm.
That conference had graver matters
to consider than the necessity of estab-
fishing an cut and out organ.
There IS need for the forces to get to-
gether and unite their efforts to do
something with which to go before the
people in the campaign of 1892. The
great octopus" will still be in court.
The banks and the railroads will likely
60 into court. There is division IN the
ranks on the sub-treasury scheme. 1t
is necessary to talk these matters over
and unite forces. The Herald and
News, of course, knows nothing def
mite about this meeting, and does not
pretend to speak er cathedra, but the
administration does not need a news
paper above all things. There are
other things that it needs more, and
these it will seek first.

HOW WILL IT BENEFIT THE FARMER:

Il is pitifuI exhibition Of obtuseness
or narrowneSs or perversenesS to hold
that the sub-treasury demand is de-
mand merely for the benefit of the
farmer. 1t is infinitely broader in its
scope. 1t aims 10 establish a flexible
currency that will relieve every class
from the ill-etfect of alternating tight"
and flush" terms in money circles
Cotton Plant.
Will the Cotton Plant tell Us in a
short, clear, succinct and plain state
ment Just how the slb-treasury is to be
q benefit to the farmer. We have never
been able to see how the scheme would
benefit the farmer. 4 good many of
the farmers of Ner'berry have stored
their cotton in alliance warehouses and
by so doing, have lost from six to ten
dollars 4 bale, exclusive of the cost of
storage. Ifthe Cotton Plant will favor
The Herald and News with such an
swer to our inquiry as indicated we
will be greatly obliged. Don't give Us
any "glittering generalities, but deal
in plain language. 1t is incumbent on
those who press this measure to show
where it will benefit the
people and also that it is constitutional.
The burden Of proof is on the advocates
cf the measure. 1t is no argument at
all to say to those who do not advocate
the measure that they are obtGse, or
narrow or perverse. l

ruE pESrTESTIaRY LATTER.

The Herald and News thinks that
the alleged maltreatment of convicts,
as charged by the citizens of Sumter,
was of sufficient importance to receive
investigation. Superintendent Taibert
invited that the einvertigation be made.
To take the eviden ,e of the guards and
employees of the penitentiary and dis
miss the matter does not show up we'll
for the directors. If the charges OF
cruelty were worth noticing at all, they
should have been thoroughly investi-
gated.
The charge is serious one, and with
the evidence before Us we are inclined
to believe there is truth in the state
ment.
Since the above was written, the cor
respondence and statements in regard
to this matter have attained proper
tions beyondIthe capacity Of this news
paper to deal with in detail. If we had
known it was going to be so volum-
inous, we would have been tempted to
let the matter almost alone.
The Herald and News publishes an
abstract of the statement of the Sum-
ter correspondence Of The State and
the denials of the superintendent OF
the penitentiary and his guards. The
Sumter correspondent comes back with
three columns in corroboration of his
first statement, and gives as authority
for his statement one Mr.. c. E: Wheel
er, guard in charge of the convicts,
and one of the men who had denied
aud pronounced false the statements
published from Sumter. It looks to
us that this Mr.. Wheeler is in rather
close place, having stated one thing to
the Sumter correspondent and denying
the facts of the statement to Mr.. Tai
bert.
The denial of Mr.. Talbert does not
appear to US to be satisfactory. He
endeavors to cast slurs upon the former
management, but does not deny the
charges of the Sumter correspondent
that the convicts were filthy, barefoot;
poorly fed andcIe5thed. He puts it on
the gre>end of economy. They may
not thave been brutally treated, but
&ey were forced to 60 without food
for thirty hours. For less cause than
this other investigations have been
ordered. 1t would be well to investi.
gate this case. For the superintendent
to declare that everybody is telling
what is not true is moi satisfac-
tory, because we consider the Sumter
correspondent as worthy of belief as
tthe Sup:ntendent, and if anything,
more so in this case, because be was
present and wrote about what he saw
The whole thing, however, does not
amount to anything more than an
effort on the part of the management
to be more economical than the former
in the affairs Of the penitentiary and
in doing SO had let the convicts go in
filth and rags, barefooted and without
sufficient food. We do not believe the
people care to have such economy eXer-
cised in the treatment Of convicts even
if they have to be taxed to make up
the deficiency caused by the loss from
Coosaw, and therefore we favored a
full investigation.

THE THIRD PARTY.

The Herald and News believes there
is more danger of the third party
scheme gainiusa foothold in the South
than some seem to think. 1t would he
very foolish for the white people III the
South to divide and form a new party.
But the battie-cry now is, measures,
not men," and the effort is being
adroitly made to wean the people from
the Democratic party by advocating
certain measures that are not Demo-
cratic, and to make the farmers believe
that their salvation IS in the adoption
of these "measures.n The result will
be that in order to get these measures
the voters must vote for men and with
that party, who are pledged to the sup
port Of these measures.
The Alliance claims to be non-parti-
san, but as an organization it is pledged
to certain measures, and every alliance
man is bound to stand by these princi-
pies, and if they are not embraced IN
the platform Of the Democratic party,
the alternative is left either to 90 out OF
the Democratic party or the Alliance.
For instance, We understand that Lee
turer Terrell says he will not discuss
the sub-treasury scheme as to the effect
it will have upon, or its relation to, the
Democratic party. Why? Because the
Alliance is non-partisan, and he is not
interested in the success of any party,
but in the success of the demands of
the Alliance, whether they are obtained
through the Democratic, Republican,
or third party.
In South Carolina the great bulk OF
the members of the Alliance are Demo-
Gratis. Some of the demands Of the
Alliance are all right, and they may be
all good and beneficial to some sections,
but the Democrats of South Carolina
should not permit themselves to be lead
astray too easily and readily, and cause
a division in their ranks. In some Sec
tions the white people can afford to
divide, but what would be the effect IN
lITudtn Carolina? The question carrie:
its own answer.
The Alliance should not be too ready
to brand as enemies, and partisan
press, those newspapers that do no
agree with the wild schemes of some
of the would-be leaders amongst them
Heaven knows that The Herald and
News would not oppose anythingwhich
it believed would be benefit to oul
farmers. All classes desire the farmer;
to succeed.
Read what President Polk of the
National Alliance has to say on thi:
subject of the Alliance ard the thiro
party. 1t is published in another
column.

LAUGHTER THAT MAY KILL.
A Young Man Swallows His False Teeth In
Fit of Merriment

HARTFORD, Conn. June 3.-Iester-
day Daniel F. Cronin, aged twenty
two years, sitting in the telephone Of
flee in conversation with the chief op-
orator, Joseph Rohan, was so much
amused by a joke made by his COM
panion that he leaned back in his chair
and, throwing his head back, INDUCED
in hearty laughter. As he did so a
small plate with two false teeth fell
from its position in the upper jaw and
slipped down his throat. He made
several attempts to raise it, but With
out success.
DR.. o. c.. Smith made an eXamina-
ton, but could find no trace Of the
missing teeth. Last night Cronin was
Oh duty as usual. He said that he felt
a lump in his side, and that his heart
palpitated more than it should. Med
ical men OF this city are of the opinion
that Cronin's death is only a question
of time

The Laurens Herald was hard up 70

The Laurens Herald was hard up for
something to say in reply to our little
paragraph Of two weeks ago. The
Herald speaks Of that paragraph as
"A(u)ll Bosh,' and characterizes it
thus because "Brother Aul Of the
Newberry Herald and News writes
thus" speaking of the paragraph in
question. Well, really, it is funny.
Panning is one of the lowest orders Of
wit, and punning on names can be re-
sorted to where argument is absent.
Try some other scheme, Brother Crews.
Punning on our name has gotten to be
so old that it does not even make US
laugh any more. We are still Of the
same opinion. You ought to have
been in Columbia to view the beautiful
arch from Laurens, and we trust and
hope that by and by you will be able
to see something else besides puns and
politics.

''The world owes its progress and
wealth to those who give thought, time
and money to new industries. Those
who hold back and hunt for easy places
for themselves and perfectly safe places
for capital, are not the great benefactors
of mankind nor the great openers of
ways to wealth." How true these
words. They are pictures Of gold in
apples of silver. And yet how scarce
such men are in some places that
we have read about. And yet how
little appreciated in their lives are
those who manifest this spirit of enter
prise and progress. Sometimes we
conclude this queer world and is COM
posed of many people.

sores came and remained TIL I procured the

the soap and salve without Il blood medicine,
but they did not 10 so well as when AL were

were for the purchase money or for
