Senator Butler, of South

Senator NJ. G. Butler is making
a gallant AMI manly fight in South
Carolina against popular error.
No one who knows the senior sem
ator from South Carolina can eX-
pect anything else. Nc man
of the calibre and fibre of Gen. But
Ter could take any position than
n in active opposition to the SUBJ
treasury. He has worked up the
people very thoroughly. He is a
brilliant and dashing debatcr. AS
a rough and ready talker he has no
equal. Gen. Butler makes a fine
and impressive speech md in run
ming debate is entirely at home.
The appearance OF such q man on
the stump is a matter of encour-
agement to the people. 1t shows
that statesmen Of character and
courage are arraying themselves
against this dangerous and delu-
sive scheme. 1t shows that with
out regard to popularity. an error
may be assailcd and punctured,
even I'm the home Of its partisans.
Gen. Butler is giving this sub
treasury fallacy some telling ticks.

A Shooting ARRAY.

A serious affray occurred OIL the night
of tho 9Th Of August near Piedmont
church, colored, in the Southeastern
part of tho county. 1t seems that bad
blood had been brewing for some time,
resulting I'm an ambuscade by one party
on the night named. A negro named
Thornton Nance was killed and several
wounded, o or less seriously. Nine
men are now in jail implicated in the
trouble. 1t was altogether an affair of
negroes. Pistols, shot guns and razo-s
were the implements of warfare. The

of his good preaching. He is get
ting old but is in no wise weak in
his doctrine. Bro. Ballenger was
with us last Tuesday night and
preached from one of the best texts
we know of, "Weighed in the bal
ance and found wanting" His
discourse was plain and practical
and very touching. Thou shalt
love the Lord with all thy heart,
soul, mind and strength and thy
neighbor as thy self. There were
very few if any that could be
weighed with this weight. He
showed us that not loving our
neighbor as ourselves we would be
found wanting, and to be found
wanting was to drink damnation
to ouf immortal souls. God forbid
that any should be weighed and
found wanting.

Alliance Men Aggressive.

WAsHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. ga
private letter received here to-day
from a leading Georgia alliance
man states that four of the five al
lance members elected from that
State to the next Congress will re-
fuse to support Judge Crisp for the
s~peakership unless he s~atisfac-
t0rily defines his position as to the
Ocala platform.
At the November elections the
Georgia alliance men defeated five
of the congressional incumbents.
They claimed that they could have
captured all ten districts of the
State If they had had three weeks
more.
Their five congressmen-elect,
Livingstone, Watson, Moses, Winn
and Everett, are dycd-in-the-wool
alliance men, although Everett
has signiied his intention to vote
for Judge Crisp as against the cam
didates already in the field. If MI.
Hatch, of Missouri, happens to see
his way clear to accept the alli-
ance nomination for the chair, 1t is
thought likely that Everett would
not hesitate TO abandon Judge
Crisp and cast his vote for Hatch.
The detection from Judge Crisp
in his own home delegation has
somewhat weakened him as a can
didate. Nevertheless he is very
strong, and his friends believe is
oven leading now.
Judge Crispsis a Democrat and a
Democratic candidate for speaker.
His friends say that he will be
elected as u Democrat or not at all.
The significant thing about this
declaration from Georgia is the
notice given that the different can
didates for speaker are to be cate
chised as to their views ON the
Ocala platform and that the alli-
ance members Of the house will
vote for no man for speaker who is
not in agreement with them on
that subject.
That seems to augur that the al
lance Will put up a candidate of
its own for speaker. Neither Crisp,
Mills, McMillin nor Springer in
dorses the Ocala platform.
