Will the Cotton Plant tell US in
short, clear, succinct and plain state
ment of Just how the sub-treasury is to
be benefit to the far r. We have
neve. been able to see he's the scheme
would benefit the farmer. A good
many of the farmers of Newberry have
stored their cotton in Alliance ware
houses and by so doing, have lost from
six to ten dollars bale, exclusive OF
the cost Of storage. If the Cotton
Plant will favor The Herald and News
with such answer to our inquiry as in
dicated we will be greatly obliged.
Don't give us any 'glltterlng generall-
ties,' but deal in plain language. 1T IS
incumbent on those who press this
measure to show affirma lively where
it will benefit the people and also that
it is constitutional. The burden OF
proof is on the advocates of the meas
ure. 1t is no argument at all to say TO
those who DO not advocate the measure
that they are obtuse, or narrow or per-
verse"
Now if the Cotton Plant has ever an
swered the inquiry and given the state
ment desired we hsye~fsfted to see it.
The Herald and News has been want
ssffflg Information and we made the in
quiry in good faith. We DO not pre-
attend to any gret amount of learning on
the financial questions that are being
discussed and hence we went to the
Cotton Plant for plain and simple
statement of how this measure was to
benefit the farmer IN its practical oper-
ations. For answer to that we have
been waiting.
Certainly the people of this country
are not going to take abuse for argu-
ment. The editors and newspapers
and men who are being abused as enc
mics to the farmers are about as ptri-
otto and unselfish, to say the least, as
their maligners. Surely it is not sup
posed that great economic question
can be settled by abusing those who
question its wisdom. Surely we have

State when a man or newspaper can
not question the wisdom of measure
that affects the whole people without
being howled down by every cross
roads stump speaker as an enemy to
the farmer and tool Of the monopc-
list.
The Herald and News is willing and
ready and anxious to advocate any
measure that will benefit the farmers
and the matter of class legislation does
not stand in the way. But the ques-
with US is, will it benefit the farmer.
The trouble is, however, that nearly
all these big orators are hunting soft
places for themselves and they have
taken advantage of circumstances and
are trying to ride into office by abus-
ing other people because they think it
is popular.
If the plan has merit let it be pressed
for adoption on its merits and the peo-
pie vii. e them.

MIR SIIGU AT SAKDIS.

We publish elsewhere this week q
report of the speech Of Mr.. Sigh at
Sardis, in Laurens County, a short
time ego. 1t is on the same line with
the arguments Of other advocates of
the sub-treasnry plan.
1t would seem from the report Of the
speech that the Newberry editors
accomplished at least one thing. They
have beenl enabled to furnish amuse-
mcnt for Mr.. Sigh. We have not
heard or read Of a speech delivered on
Mr.. Slighs side of the question in some
time that there is not some fling at
the editors. If there is one class of
people that receive less and expect less
and get more voluntary abuse than the
editors, we would like to know who
they are.
Mr.. Sigh says the Newberry editors
''always cry out against a man when
the farmers put him up" And the
reason he assigns is that these editors
want ''to boss the job themselves.
They want the high places and the fat
of the land.'
AS far as this editor is concerned,
Mr.. Sligh's premise is not borne out by
the facts and his conclusion is far from
the truth. We have never undertaken
to boss any job nor have we opposed
any man because the farmers put him
up. But. as true journalist we have
endeavoredto expresscur views Of pub
lie men and public measures in fair
and straightforward way, and this we
have done without regard to whether
it was popular or unpopular, as we con-
ceived it to be our duty, and we have
always granted the same privilege to
any other citizen. Some Of the time
latterly we have not agreed with Mr..
Sigh on some things and that may
be the cause of Mr.. Sligh's amuse-
ment. When the people in theirsove-
reign capacity decide these public
questions and upon these public men,
we always submit gracefully to that
decision.
We would like for Mr.. Sigh to point
out when and where these Newberry
editors have ever tried to get the "hlgh
places and the fat of the land' for
their labor.
We do not believe any editor, while
such, in Newberry County has ever
asked for office at the hands of the
people. Certainly neither Of the now
Newberry editors has ever asked for or
received any "high place. or office of
any kind. This editor has the con-
sciousness of having done his duty as
he conceived it as editor, without fear
or favor, and that he intends to con-
tinue to do. We try to be fair; We try
to be Just. We may make mistakes. No
doubt we have. 1t is nice to have the
popular approval, but the man who
rides on the popular wave and follows
the current for oopularity's sake will
strike the rocks il the end, for popular
applause is very uncertain.
Mr.. Sigh should be more specific.
He should not he carried so iar away
with his amusement at the Newberry
editors rs to draw conclusions that do
them injustice. We would like to
direct Mr.. Sligh>s attention to the
words ofthe preacher at his church last
Sunday and ask that before he under
take to condemn in general, he put
his words through the seive as sug-
gested in the sermon, as it just? Is It
necessary? Is it kind "'

Letter from Virginia.

The garden spot of Virginia is said to
be in the Shenandoah Valley. There
may be some truth in the statement
but do not think the whole truth. No
doubt there is a charm over this beauti-
full stretch of country extending over
POO miles because Stonewall jackson
and his Foot Cavalry used to make
such hurried marches through it. And
maybe too there is some Indian ro-
nance connected with it. Again the
great natural curiosities ofour country,
the Natural Bridge and Luray Caves
are both within this valley. All these
with others go to make this Il lovely
valley, but The palm must not be
yielded uncontested. For l think in
Botetourt County there are SOME scenes
hardly surpassed by the Alps. True
there are no snow peaks To lend en-
chantment to. tho "; :, but instead of
these fields of i.- ,re find well titled
farms yielding an abundant crop of
wheat, corn or oats. Lopsley's Run on
the top of the Allegheney Mountains is
one of the most beautiful spots l have
ever beheld. Looking East from the
pike, stretching out before you for 20 or
60 miles with the grim Blue Ridge ris-
ing up grand!y as Il back ground one is
almost carried away with the prospect.
SubIimely grand indeed. No one need
travel to Europe to behold the granduer
of nature. Here in the mountains of
Virginia, his eye can behold scenes
both wild, wierd and picturesque. If
the swiss boy with his Alpine horn
could be brought here, and as the scene
slowly and majestically sinks away: be-
hind the western horizon, he pealing
from each peak the good night of those
people, we would have Switzerland in
our midst.
We have no Matterhorn with its dan
gerous ice fed and foe, but near by on
the renowned peaks Of Ot,er where
snow has fallen us late or early as June
18th. These peaks are eXcelled by but
one point in height III the South, Look
out Nountail. The peaks are fast be-
coming point interest 10 tourists.
The productiveness OF the soil in this
county (Botetourt) cannot be gainsaid
because the people are exceedingly
thrifty and quite Il number have conf
potency. Life with them Is what they
make 1t and they understand it the
best Of any re pie with whom have
come in contact.
That butter, and it might justly be
called the prince of Lutter, apple butter
finds its highest state of perfection,
and no meal is complete without it.
Those who have not yet tasted this
food have missed, in this life a great
deal. In Southwest Virginia, Rotetourt
County takes the lead as a fruit pack
ing county. Last year 10 less than %%3
packeries were in operation. Tomatoes,
corn beans, peaches and apples are the
chief articles packed. This year the
apple crop is enormously heavy. Mil
lions of bushels have gone to waste be-
cause of no market, and The canrerics
could not take them. Botetourt County
as 4 summer resort has but few if any
superiors. f.. II. X.

- orda- ~ the, Coosaw litigation was
"a :, +ba United States court to-day 90
Judge 1leeNHaaiorButIer did say,which
ne did not, what his language is con-
strued to mean by those who are op-
posed to him, what has that to do with
the merits of the sub-treasury or Of the
joint discussion between himself and
DR.. Stokes?
Why this great effort to divert the
minds of the people from the merits of
the discussion and endeavor thus to
prejudice them against General Butler?
Why this personal attack upon Senator
Butler? Is this point the only flaw
that can be found in the argument OF
Senator Butler? Why quibble over
words when every sensible man knows
that Senator Butler never said and
never intended to say that 10000
farmers in this State are thieves and
scoundrels?
To a man on the fence it looks very
much like all admission that Senator
Butler got the best of the Prosperity
discussion. There is no use to mince
words about it. DR.. Stokes is not a
match for Senator Butler in joint pub
lie discussion. He is very clever man
and We like him personally very much,
but We do dislike very much to see
such perversion made OF what o man
ssSs as has been done in this ease and
for tie pGspcssss, Of ipjuring faithful
public servant and to make the people
lose confidence in him.

The Cotton Plant has not yet told US
whether DR.. Stokes really believes the
argument or statement made by him
in his Greenwood speech, to the effect
that there was no possible chance for
the government to lose any money
even if it did not receive but so for $50
advanced on cotton, because the other
$40 was in circulation. And then what
about the other S20 that the farmer
could have received when tic cotton

\ Big Cut in the Wages of Cotton rickers.

New ORLEANS, August 22.-The
proposition to meet the decreased price
of cotton by paying less for the picking,
suggested few days ago at meeting
of plantersat Memphis, is we'll received
here: Similar meetings have bean held
in Mississippi and Louisiana and the
Memphis plan agreed on, proposing,
however, reduction from IS to 10 cents
a hundred pounds, instead of the 30
cents proposed at Memphis. The plant-
ers have pledged themselves not to pay
more than 70 cents. The reduction will
be vigorously opposed and resented by
the pickers, and the chances are Of a
big strike on this question.

Missouri will have third party. That

President Hall represented the con
servative element of the Alliance, which
opposed the third party and the Ocala

cal element Of the Alliance which
tavors the third party movement and
the subtreasury scheme.

growing vine, serambling over trees
and fences, with dark green and album
dant foliage. The clustered berries,
which are bright yellow outwardly, are
round and smooth at first, then the
shell opens in three pieces and turns
back, showing the scarlet seeds; and
now, brighter than before, they light
up the stumps, fences and the scraggy
trees along the roadside for nearly all
of the winter. Not many woody vines
