MRS. DAyIS'S DECISION.
She Gives Virginia the Care of Her Illus
trious Husbands Body.

New YORK, July 1l.-Mrs. Davis,
the widow of the late Jefferson Davis,
who has been sojourning at the New
York Hotel in this city for some time
past, in a letter forwarded to the cltl-
zens of Richmond to-day, states tNat,
after much deliberation, she has de-
cided to give Virginia the care OF her
husbands body.
She briefly reviews the claims OF the
various States to her husbands re-
mains, and urges the fact that in the
fullness of fame he did not belong -
any part of the country, but that IN
Richmond he received generous and
unwavering support in the darkest
hour of the South's Cefeat.
She refers to her personal sacrifice III
giving up the hope of dwelling near
her husbands resting place, and ex-
presses the hope that the States of the
Confederacy will also reliAquish their
cherished plans for the sake of crafty
ing the majority of the veterans OF the
South Who have urged Richmond as
the prcner place for him who loved
them al and labored for their glory.

Something Abo ut Savings Banks.

Perhaps few parsons in this town OF
county (Newberry) have fully consid'
cred the possible advantages accruing
to a community from having we'll
managed savings bank in their midst.
OF course, the stockholder hopes to
realize fair dividend on his invest
ment, and it is right that he should, in
as much as he places himself between
the depositor and all casualties possible
to arise, for in the eveptof failure, the
stockholder must lose every dollar OF
DISBURSEMENT before the depositor can
lose apenny.
But it is in the interest of the deposi-
tor that its peculiar features contribute
most largely. First, by affording him
safe and pay ing investment Tor any
and all sums, whether large or small,
and relief against possible loss by fire,
robbery, etc. Further it enables him
to command his reserve at any time
necessity should arise.
Every prudent, thoughtful individ.
ual on whom rests the responsibility of
providing for themselves, or other de-
pendants, endeavors to provide a SUR
plus which he will jealousy guard. 10
such the savings bank offers just the
facility needed.

The National Economist has the fol-

The National Economist has the fol-
lowing to say about the Alliance in
South Carolina, and gives Governor
Tillman, especially, to understand that
be must fall ia line or the procession
will tramp right on over him.
We would say to the Economist that
we do dot believe there has been an
effort to create the impression that
there is division il tue. ranks. There
has been difference Of opinion amongst
members of the Alliance in regard to
the sub-treasury plan for instance, and
many ardent Alliance members and
intelligent farmers do not approve Of
the scheme, but according to some Of
the leaders they must not express or
even hold such view, or they will have
to get out of the way or be run over.
The Herald and News sincerely
hopes that the people will soon get in
such temper that this, as we'll as all
other National and State questions, can
be fully and freely discussed, and that
all the people will be given an equal
showing. We like that principle Of the
Alliance platform, Equal rights to,all
aud special privileges to none" There
is where The Herald and News stands,
and will endeavor to occupy that
ground to the end.
But here is the warning sounded by.
the Economist:
''The enemies of the Order are labor
ing to create the impression that there
is split and contention in the Alliance
in South Carolina, but they are. only
wasting time and space. The coming
meeting Of the State Alliance at Spar
tanburg, July p, will show the Order
in that State solid phalanX marching
with a fixed determination to secure
reform, and if Gov. Tillman or any
other person gets in its way he will be
run over, whether a member or not"

Dear old Herald and News: thought
perhaps you would like few dots
about Glenn Springs, and as 1 am

late) I thought would give you little
Of the latest news.
The trip to Glenn's was very pleas

seventy-five pounds in the last twenty

visitors just now, although larger

TIE DEBATE IN SECRET.

President Stokes, Of the Alli~Ice,
adheers to his decision that the discus
sion of the sub-treasury demand, be-
tween Gov. Tillman and Mr.. Terrell,
shall be before the Alliance and that
none but alliance members shall be
allowed to hear it.
We do not think that President
Stokes has yet given any good and sat-
isfactory reason for this decision. The
sub-treasury demand is a demand for
national legislation, and it is an issue,
the adoption or rejection Of which, con-
Germs all the people Of this country, and
as the Alliance only desires the good of
all the people, and does not want the
sub-treasury plan if something better
is offered, we can see no good and valid
reason for not allowing the fullest and
freest discussion Of this matter. Surely
there can be given in this country the
fullest discussion of all public questions,
and let it be done in good spirit and
temper with the sole purpose of arriv-
ing at the truth; whether this discus
sion is between members of the alli-
ance or others should make no differ
ence.
The Alliance is good order and was
inaugurated and gone into by our
farmers for the purpose of beneftting
them, but good order may sometimes
advocate measures that others may not
agree with, and in this free country
there should be no effort to choke off
the fullest discussion.
The Augusta Chronicle in a recent
issue, in speaking of the action of Presi-
dent Stokes in the matter of the pro-
posed debate between Governor Till
man and Mr.. Terrell. we'll says:
"Weconfess to some alarm for the well
fare of our country and the rights and
liberties of our people when free men
are ordered to debate in secret, great
question of public policy affecting the
rights of all the people.
'We confess to apprehension when
men claiming to be Democrats, bind
themselves together in oath-bound So
cieties, and are ordered to debate before
. the State Alliance, which sits with
closed doors, great questions of govern
ment policy. We confess to a sense of
humiliation, when the president Of a
State Alliance arbitrarily dictates to the
governor of proud state like South
Carolina, when the governor feels it his
duty to discuss burning question with.
his people face to face, that he under
stands a debate between the two ALI
ancemen before the State Alliance is
necessarily private affair. This is not
Democracy. This is despotism.
-''Some of the Alliance leaders and
organs are not only abusive, but intol-
Grant. Only few days ago, ';e called
attention to the denunciaiion Of Gov
ernor Tillman by the Georgia Farrnes'
Alliance, published at Atlanta, in
which he was compared to Benedict
Arnold and Judas Iscariot.
1--WE very much mistake the spirit
and justice of our whole people if they
submit to this denunciation and dicta-
ton of an oath-bound political society,
with its secret meeting and signs and

HOT SHOT FOR MACUNE.
President Hall Makes a Vigorous Attacl
Upon the Alliance Leader.

Prcsid lent Hall Makes Vigorous Attack
Upon the Alliance Leader.
FORT WORTH, TEXAS, July 1.-THE
principal feature of the State Alliance
Convention this morning was the
speech of U. S. Hall, president Of the
Missouri Alliance. He charges that
DR.. Macune had sold out for a mouey
consideration to the Protectionists, and
in furtherance Of that bargain the
Third Party move was inaugurated in
the South to divert Democratic votes.
He said that it was no disgrace forsuch
dishonest man AS Macune to get into
the Alliance, but it would become a
disgrace if be was not turned out.
President Hall was loudly applauded.
Last night Harry Tracy, Macune's
chief apostle in Texas. gave an open
challenge for the debate or the sub
treasury scheme. Hall accepted. The
debate occurs tonight, Tracy claims to
have unsavory facts about Halls career,
newly discovered, which he propose to
turn loose tonight.
The sub-treasuryites, of whom a
squad walked out Of the Convention
yesterday are red hot. 1t is believed
that the out come Of the Convention
will be a split of the State Alliance into
factions, one representing the Third
Party and the other the Democratic
wing.
The Anti-sub-treasury State Conven-
ton Of the Farmers Alliance to-day
adopted the following resolution:
That We denounce the sub-.reasury
and land loan schemes at tgoveiumental
ownership of railrads as violation of
the first principles of good government,
as paternal in their character, as cen
tralizing in their tendencies, and if
enacted iuto law they would create such
a horde Of national Office holders as
would fasten the clutches Of the party
in power upon the throats CT the people
so strongly that the voices of honest,
citizens would no longsr De heard IN
the control of Government affairs"
