Lecturer keitt at Anderson.

The Peoples Advocate gives the fol-
lowing report of Lecturer keitt's ad-
dress before the Anderson County Alli-
ance at its recent meeting:
District Lecturer JOS. l.. Keitt being
present was accorded the floor and pro-
ceeded to address the Alliance, more
especially on the question of finance.
He said that all civilized countries had
some system Of finance and that ours
was embodied in the national banking
system, which had SO completely placed
the control Of the currency of the
country in the hands of a certain class
that the amount of the wealth of the
country held by the agricultural and
laboriug classes had steudily decreased
for the last three decades and that
during the last decade it had decreased
from IS per cent. in 1850 to % per cent.
in 1890. That great deal Of this wealth
was of an invisible nature and the re-
suit was that those who produced the
wealth and owned only % per cent. Of
it paid about SO per cent of the taxes
that were collected. That Of the 81 ,000,-
100000 spent by the recent Congress
the farmers and laborers paid about
SS00,000: 900. This was an inequality
and Injustice that we were seeking re-
lief from, and instead of the present
vicious and unrighteous system wehad
proposed another and different sys-
tenn by which the government would
take the control of the currency from
the bankers and furnish it directly to
the people based upon the products of
the soil. That this was true Jefferson
ian Democracy as exempIified in the
teachings of Jefferson, Calhoun and
Jackson, under whose leadership the
party had always fought the idea of
national banks as unconstitutional! and
dangerous to liberty, and that Mr..
Calhoun had constantly held that the
government should not extend its
credit to the banks but to the people
directly without an Intermediary, and
that this was the underlying prime: pie
of the suo-treasury plan. His remarks
were continued at some length along
this line and were listened to attentive
ly and approvingly by the delegates.

VICTORY FOR THE REFORMERS.
John f. Ficken Nominated for Mayor OF
Ma aJority About Two
Hundred.
Especial to the State.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Oct. N.-The
Reformers have won.
Col. J. +. Ficken has been nominated
for Mayor by the Democratic primary
election, defeating Mayor Bryan, the
candidate of the Regulars.
The election was quite and peaceaole.
The police force, although admirably
organized and distributed, were the
idlest set Of men in town. Only IN
Ward 8 did the slightest trouble occur.
There was, at the Mall, a slight disturb
ance, due to whiskey and ov"f-"nthu-
siam for the one or the other candi-
dates, but it amounted to very little.
Ficken's majority in eleven wards is
127. Ward is still doubtful at l.3O a.
N.
The Reformers have elected twelve
aldermen at large and five from the
wards.
There is talk of q lost ballot box in
ward +. The election commissioner
adjourned from the city hall to the pre-
cinct headquarters in ward (about
midnight,) and at 2 a. m. the result in
ward has not beet declared.
1t is fact, however, that Maj. Flcken
is nominated.
The aldermen's ticket is scratched
from toz.
DR.. Thompson was defeated for
school commissioner; DIR. Eedder was
elected.
Mr.. Theo. D. Jerver, Jr., has been
elected chairman of the executive COM
mittee over Maj. Boyle, unless Ward I
materially alters results.
At2a. m. Maj. Baker and Gen. HUI
guenin were seen together. Maj. Bar
ker said: ave cannot declare the re-
suits in Ward / to-uight. There are
complications which may not be ad-
iusted before Tomorrow" The COM
plications referred to are understood to
be between the managers in Ward
Four. The nature ofthe difficulty is not
known.
There will, however, be no changing
of results. The Reformers have, be-
yond a doubt, something like 200 ma
iority.

WHY NOT ENcoURAG OUR OWN
STATE FAIR AExo.

Governor Tillman, Secretary State
Tindall and Mr.. J. Z. Wannamaker of
the Board of Trustees of Clemson Col
lege, have issued leeter to the farmers
of South Carolina nrging them to at
tend and furnish sample crops and en-
courage the Augusta Exposition as a
means of benefit ing themselves and
advertising the State and its resources.
That is all right and proper, and we
hope TO see South Carolina we'll repre-
sented at the Augusta Exposition, but
we would like to see also our own State
Fair at Columbia a bowling success.
We have no idea these gentlemen
meant in any way to slight our State
Fair or to discourage our farmers from
attending or sending exhibits thereto
by calling special attention to Augusta
in the circular letter. At the same time,
however, if they desired to have the re-
sources of the State brought to the at
tention of the public and properly ad-
vertised, they might also have directed
the attention of the farmers thereto, fit
was thought necessary to give special
stress to Augusta.
Possibly it was thought that our
farmers would think enough Of their
own fair to take their own exhibits
there without having their attention
specially called to it.
At any rate every one should feel a
personal interest in our State Fair, and
we hope that exhibits will be large and
varied as they should, and that the at
tendance will be good.
We feel that Col. Holloway and
those associated with him will spare no
pains to make the Fair a great sue
cess.

The News and Courier copies an
editorial from the Omaha Bee on "HoW
to build up Omaha" and substitutes
Charleston for Omaha. The gist OF
the whole thing is told in one sentence,
and it is this: 1.-The way to build up
Omaha, is to give Omaha people your
patronage" It needs no further com
ment. There is a big truth in this
simple sentence. 1t is q sermon and
lecture all in one. The people of New

themselves. 1.-THE way to build uI
Omaha, is to give Omaha people your

The government rain makers were
so successful at San Diego, Texas, with
their experiments last week that they
have become heroes in the eyes of the
ranchmen. They got rain last Sun
day at a cost Of $500 for explosives,
and the ranchmen declare the rain to
be worth fifty million dollars to them.
Melbourne, the Australian rain maker,
has also been so successful, it is claimed,
in Kansas, that fellow in California
says he has stolen his patent.

The Abbeville Press and Banner of
last week had about 90 columns of ad-
vertisements. Most of them were from
the merchants of Abbeville and Green
wood. The business men of Abbevilie
appreciate the value of advertising,
and patronize and support their home
paper. Some of the business men OF
Newberry never advertise at all. 1t is
very queer. If the papers in Newberry
could get half % columns the hearts of
the editors would be made glad and
the merchants would reap the profits.

ATCHIsoN's PAMPHLET REPORT.

Monday Dec. 14-p. m.
The pamphlet report of the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe Railroad has just been placed in the
hands of the public. 1t contains 129 pages of
matter. and presents the operations of the sys-
TEN and its auxiliary companies in the most ex-
haustive detail. The management appreciates the
benefit that it's own credit derives from q COM
plete exposition of it's affairs, and in this report
owners and investors will find no point of interest
untouched.
The gross earnings of the Atchison system, on
an average operated mileage Of iii miles for
the year ended June 80 were $33, 663;;716 t$4,734
per mile, an increase of S2,659,359 1878 per
mile over the previous year. This result was OBJ
tanned Notwithstanding the poor crops of 1890.
The mileage has been practically unchanged since
September 1888, so that the gain in earnings
represents developing territory The
freight traffic yielded S23,329, $40 an increase of
Sl,596,496 over the previous year. Eastbound
tonnage decreased 1861 tons, rejecting the
crop failure, while westbound tonnage increased
225,202 tons, the result of permanent growth.
The commodity movement shows a gain in coal.
manufactures, etc, that offsets the decline in
products of agriculture. The average rate of
freight was .265 cents per ton per mile, against
1928 cents in the preceding year. The gross
earnings from passengers was $7,24S,694, an
increase of S63s, $50, and the rate per passenger
per mile was 1857 cents, against 2.234 cents
in the previous year. The total net earnings were
$9,620,546 CS1,3o3 per mile, a decrease of
S463,424 (S65 IA per mile from the year ended
June 80 1890. This was mainly due to extensive
repairs to the rolling stock. BY the large addi-
lions made TO equipment in the latter part of the
fiscal year just closed the management expects
this year to reduce the percentage of operating
expenses. There was $717,450 in new steel rails
and new ties charged to operating expenses. The
expenditures for permanent improvements
amounted TO $2,552,150. The equipment secured
through the operations Of new equipment trust
included eighty-Seven locomotives and 2,27l cars
of various kinds
The report calls attention to the improved
results OF the operation Of the Colorado Midland
since November /, 1890, and points out the value
of the acquisition. The following table Of the

WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.
The stock market opened without promise, but
before the day ended a sharp change occurred In
fIe speculatiVe temper. The early dealings were
dull and prices generally suffered fractional losses
London houses were not conspicuous In the
trading although the strength of the foreign eX-
changes would seem 10 indicate q continued move
preferred ranked among, the active shares, ana
while il recovered from GO 5-S TO 81 5-S IN the
late general rally it's last price was under satuT-
davis close The turning point in the market was
the announcement that the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific directors had declared quarterly
dividend of per cent--double the amount which
was Maid for each of the two preceding quarters
Rock Island secured the leadership in point of
activity and ii advanced from 50 7-sas4 3-s
to Sc SIS. The effect of the announcement was
two-fold il served 10 direct attention TO the
favorable prospects lying ahead OF the Granger
roads and IL dissipated q vague speculative rear
which has recently turned toward the ROCK Island
and the supposed attitude OF some OF lts managers
As the Rock Island directors did not hesitate TO cut
the dividend in two when earnings were poor; the
Street fairly assumes that the quarters DUST
hess warrants the present rate and on That OASIS
il is safe 10 rely upon considerable increase
in the profits for the coming quarter.
The market easily responded TO the hrst lndica-
tion OF a renewed demand. Net gains OF about
Der cent were made by Burlington and Quincy
and AtchisOn, while ST. Paul rose ] per cent ron
