COL BoNHAM's REPLY.

COLUMBIA, s. G., January "a, '91.
Governor b. r. IFHnaan, C5ossns-
6ia, s. C.--S1R: Your communica-.
ton of the Oath of January is at
hand, in which you say "the shortage
in your accounts as Adjutant and
Inspector General having been made
good, and the State suffered no loss
by your act, you are. at liberty to
leave the State if you SO desire"
Permit me say that my indebted
ness to the State having been can
.celled 7 am at liberty to go swhereso.
ever ! please Without your permis-
sion. Your efforts to make my move
ments dependent upon your will is a
piece of impertinenoe which your
official position protects you in offer
ing. You know full we'll that if I
leave the State at all it is only to
attend the meeting at Cincinnati of
the insurance company with which I
am connected, which absence from
the State is for a few days only. I
Respectfully,
49,. ..-....s.. NJ. l.. BoNHAM.s a
Gov. Tillman was seer by the
2World representative To-day, uud lie
expressed himself as much surprised
at this letter as he had not written
this letter to Gen. Bonham Of his own
volition. He said that Col. Alfred
AldrichEhad exhibited telegram call
ing for Gen. Bonham to go to Gin
oinnati, and Attorneys General Pope
Immediately suggested the proprioty
of writing some such letter, showing
that Gen. Bonham was not under
surveillance, and he inferred that
Col. Aldrich who was acting for Gen.
Bonham, wished the letter written.
The publicity of Gen. Bonham's
reply comes from Gen. Bonham, the
Governor not receiving the letter
until to-day. The Governor thinks
that his courtesy and consideration
have been wasted. 1t is we'll known
that the sheriff had Gen. Bonham
under surveillance ever since the
Governor was aware of the matter,
and as soon as the Governor received
the certificate of deposit for the
amount Of the shortage he t~elegraphed
Sheriff Rowan to- Withdraw the ur-
s%yeiiiance.

A Farmer Governor.

If Farmer Tillman Isl fair speoi-
man of what the Alliance can do in
the way of making a Governor,
lot it proceed to make some more.
Two years ago the new Executive
was plain Ben of the pillow handles,
and now is his Excellenoy the Cover
of South Carolina--and a first
class one, to judge from the tone of
his inaugural. :.
First and foremost he said lynch
law must cease if he had to remove
every sheriff in the state. Next the
laws delay must stop. There must
be n fair speedy trial, and that
ended it. Professional jurymen and
drunken justices must go.
Then he took up education. The
State military school should be wiped
out and its appropriation used for a
girls school which should eschew oil
paintings and the "ologies" and teach
useful things--tclegraphy, phonogra-
ply, bookkeeping, Housekeeping,
chemistry and practice f cookery,
etc,-and to "supply q long-felt and
rresaingg want"
"Tax-dodgers," corporate and
others, must be brought up with q
! . I-
round turn 80 az Tighten the load by
making each n carry his fair share.
Lastly, there must be o new con.
stitutien." The one framed by ttcar.
pet bag vampires and baser native
traitors" had harassod tho State for
twenty years and for twenty years
sown discord between two races who
could and should live together In
peace.
With a four-ffths majority behind
him the farmer Governor win work
prosperous wonders FOR South Garo-
lima if let alone.--New York World.

/ A Kansas Sheriff Prevented from
/ Selling Mortgaged Lands.

WICHITA, KAN, January 1O.-A
body of farmers Alliance men to-
day resisted Sheriff Dobson, of
Harper County, in an attempt to sell
farms The officer and the attorney
for the Johnston Loan and Trust
Company, Of Arkansas City, had
orders of sale on property against
which I the mortgages aggregated
$4,000, and when they. attempted to
dispose of the farms they were sur
rounded by q band ct Alliance mem
bere, who ordered ths9a to 5asiat.
Paying no attention 30 them the
sheriff proceeded withjiihis business,
but before he could get q bid he was
jostled from his point of vantage and
threatened with further personal
violence if he did not leave. Being
unprepared for such an emergency
he went. This is the second case of a
similar character and proves very
clearly that the Alliance is organized
to resist all process of law which will
take the ffaaTrnors' lands, hoping that
the farmer Legislature will at once
pass o stay law. In taking Of the
matter this evening ian Alliance
loader upheld the lawlcsas actions, and
said the organization was prepared
to follow the came eohrge through

Some logs were burning short distance back OF

from this source. as there was no wind, and, De-
sides. il was evident from the volumes OF smoke
that broke forth through the windows and gave
the first warning that the fire originated from
within. II is probable that the kitchen stove
was in some way the cause OF IL, as the .aze
first broke out through the kitchen root. As
soon as the neighbors discovered that the house
was on fire they rushed in and dragged out as
much OF the furniture as possible, out nothing
OF any value was saved.
The house was not quite finished, but was lar
enough along so the family could occupy II,
ana they moved in about three weeks ago. The
building cost about 81 600 and was insured Tor
$500 with Is. l. Gezzam. who also had risk

furniture was insured for more than II was
worth, as the policy was made out 70 cover

neighbors until such time i building can be
secured and furnished.

AGREEMENT OF PRODUCE MEN.
Wholesale Men Agree Not to Interfere
With Retailers.

Nearly all the produce, jobbing and commits
sion houses in the city were represented at the
meeting OF the Produce Exchange held yester-
day afternoon in the Office of the Northwest
Fruit Company. Vice President Joseph Green
presided. The principal business transacted
was the adoption of the agreement between the
exchange and the Retail Grocers' Association
whereby the members OF the exchange agree TO
stop selling TO other than dealers at less than
extreme retail prices and TO charge extra for de-
livery; the grocers in turn agreeing to stand by
the members OF the exchange in their business
transactions. This practically does away with
the necessity for the small jobbeis keeping
teams OF their own, as the grocers will DO their
own carting, and the only other drayage IS to
and from boats and freight houses, which can
be done much cheaper by regular expressmen.
The question OF drayage charges was there
fore considered, SIS also the question of
wharfage, and both subjects were referred 10
committee, with instructions to make inquiry
and report at the next meeting. 1t is the gen.
ersl opinion OF the j0bbers that the rates of
wharfage are too high, and the committee will
make an effort TO secure q general reduction to
70 cents per ton.
