WILL THE ALLIANCE BOSS THE DE-
NOCRACY?
Call for a Conference OF Ailiancemen who
are Delegates to the State Conven-
ton How the Delegates
are Divided.
1The News and Courier.

COLUMBIA, May Git might seem a
little strange, but it would perhaps De
an appropriate question to ask whether
the convention On 18th instant IS TO De
one ofdemocrats or alliancemen; Wheth-
er the Democrats as alllancemen are
Going to run the the convention, or the
alliance men as democrats are going to
have charge of matters? Is the demo-
cracy of the convention to be secondary
to alliance ideas, and is an alliance or
democratic platform to be adopted?
In the Cotton Plant Of tomorrow
the following call will be published.
"All alliance men who are delegates
to the State democratic convention,
which meets in Columbia, May Is, are
requested to meet at Agricultural nall
on the 18th, at o'clock p. M, tor the
purpose of holding conference.
~. WIN. STOKES.
"Delepate from Orangeburg County"
No one can accurately anticipate the
action of this conference, but there IS
no reason to believe that it will be
other than a caucus, at which, besides
agreeing upon a platform, the delegates
to be elected, the officers and every
thing else will be decided upon. Man
aging Editor Bowden was seen by me
today, and be said that so far as he
knew the conference had been called
to sprotect the Interest Of the alliance
in national politics." He did not care
to speculate on the official work that
would be undertaken by the confer
ence. .,
The alliance men will be in very
considerable majority in the May con-
vention, and can do practically what
they want as alliancemen, without re-
gard to the other delegates
Mr.. Bowden, who has been studying
up the question and complexion OF the
delegates, assisted in making up the
following tabulated statement, giving
the division of alliance men and non,
alliance men, the preference OF all
doubts being to the alliance:

The Alliance leaders, who met at Biz
mingham the other day for consulta-
ton refused to endorse the Third party
and issued ar address to their brethren.
The address together with the proceed
ings is published this week.
We ask our friends to give the pro-
ceedings careful reading. THERE'S one
paragraph to which we desire to direct
attention. The STEW localities" men
toned are very numerous in these parts
and if the Office "seeks the man" the
man is very sure to get right in the
vay so that the Office will not have
much trouble in finding the mantle
only difficulty being to choose between
the great many who are getting in the
way.

The town council at 'ts meeting last
Thursday night appointed committee
to get up some facts and figures in re-
gard to the cost and saving to the town
of system Of water works. The Her
aid and News hopes this committee
will prosecute the inquiry with all
promptness and thorougnness, and we
are satisfied it can he demonstrated
where it will not only be a great con-
venience to the people of Newberry,
but also an actual saving to them to
havea thorough system of water works.
Newberry needs to get move on
her if she expects to keep pace With
the other live towns of the State.

The News and Courier published 4
few days ago reports from all the coun-
ties in the State on the reduction OF
the cotton acreage. The reports show
that there has been a general reduc-
tion of acreage in the whole State OF
about 25 per cent.
If this has been general throughout
the Cotton Belt it will be worth some
thing, but if the reduction is confined
to South Carolina, it will not amount
to anything much in reducing the pro-
duction.
The thing needed in South Carolina
is not so much reduction in acreage
rs that every farm shall oe seIt-sEs-
tanning outside Of the cotton crop. ii
to produce thi state of affairs reduc-
ton in acreage was necessary, why
then, by ali means, we should have 4
reduction of acreage.
The thing above every other, for every
farmer in South Carolina, is to raise his
own ''hog and hominy" and then just
as much cotton as he can.

THE PRELIMINARY PRIMARY.

In this day of ring smashing 1t IS
little strange that efforts should be
made by these same smashers to form
bigger rings, but such is the case. We
are to have a general primary in the
Democratic party for the nomination
of public officials, but the leaders are
not satisfied to submit'their chances to
the people along with other people, but
want to have a little compact of their
own and bind their friends to combine
for their own success.
Two caucuses have already been held
by the leaders to fix things up for the
dear people, and, at the last one, 1t
was decided to order a club primary OF
their faction and bind this minority to
support the choice of this primary. The
caucus worked for the convention and
it worked beautifully. Whether the
people will continue to be led around
by the leaders is for the people them
selves to say.
The Herald and News does not be-
lieve they will submit to dictation in
one set of men any more than they
will in another, and as we have gen.
eral primary in which each man can
exercise his right and privilege to vote
for the best men for the offices as his
Judgment may dictate, we believe the
people will exercise this and spurn any
efforts to bind them before hand. Other
wise what is the use of general prirn-
airy?
Let each candidate come cut for the
office he desires and submit his case to
the verdict OF all the Democratic voters
in the general primary. This other
scheme is gotten up in the interest OF a
few men who want the Offices and are
afraid to risk their chances to all the
Democratic voters in a free, fair, open
and manly fight. We believe the peo-
pie are competent to judge Of the fit
ness~>of the candidates without any
such proposed dictation, and that they
will demand and exercise that right.
The two clubs that were to have met
last Saturday we understand failed to
have quorum present.

Ordering = state Vessel.
TThe State, 9th.1

After completing his business IN the
national capital, Governor TlIlman
went to New York, where be, spent
some days. He went there tor the
purpose Of examining vessels with the
view of ordering a new coastWlse Ves-
sci for the use Of the Phosphate Inspec..

the Phosphate Commission. 1t has
been lately discovered that the vesSel
at present owned by The State is totally
unfit for service required of her, beng
dangerous ghen ont in a rough sea,
and some time ago the vessel was sent
North. The Governor held eonsulfa-
tions with several boat builders ID

the vessels, but 50 far has rot ordered

While in New York, and after the
completion of the transaction or MS
business, Governor Tiliman spent some
time in seeing the Metropolis, aud be
has much to say of the many things lie
saw in the city Of cities.
He stated yesterday afternoon lasl ss
he had seen none of the home papers
while away, and consequently ly did not
know much about politics just now.
He declines to talk on the prospects LOT

QUESTION OF LAW,

Governor Tillman appointed Ira b.
Jones, Esq, TO sit on til" supreme
Court in certain cases in which Justice
Pope was disqualified BY reason
of having been counsel in them.
Mr.. Jones is member Of the Leglsla-
ture. The attorneys in tae cases, Mes
srs. Caldwell, Culbreath & Sale. raised
the point that Mr.. Jones was disquall-
fed under Article /, Section 26, of the
Constitution. AS soon as the matter
was called to the attention OF Mr.
Jones he said the point was well taken,
and addressed letter to the Governor
asking that his appointment b. revok-
ea. Mr.. Jones' letter is published IN
this issue. The Herald and News
thinks Mr.. Jones took the proper view
of the matter, and we commend him
for the course be took. No doubt the
provision of the Constitution was over
looked by Governor Tillman when the
appointment was made. The law is
as clear, it seems to US, as language can
make it. The attorneys attached no
blame to any one in the matter, but as
the rights of their clients were involv-
ed it was their duty to use every pre-
caution to have legal and valid YER
dict or opinion.
But it seems nothing can be done
now, but an effort is made to make po-
litical capital out of it.
Lieutenant-Governor Gary was also
appointed to sit in place of Justice NC
Gowan for q similar reason IN some
Abbevilie case. He seems anxious to
occupy the bench, and will not act
with the same becoming grace and
modesty as did Mr.. Jones, but proposes
to force the issue. He first gets an
opinion from Attocney-General Nc
Lsurin. This is in his favor. 1t is
published also. The Register has writ
ten two long editorials in vindication
ard, we presume, substantiation ex-
tenuation, and explanation of the
opinion. ". do not propose to
argue the point further than to
saw that the reasoning of General
McLaurin is, to our mind, entirely
wrong, as we believe the Supreme
Court will hold when the question
comes up. The Article of the Constl-
tuition in question reads as follows:
"In the government of this Common
wealth the Legislative, Executive and
Judicial powers of the Government
shall be forever separate and distinct
from each other, and no person or per-
sons exercising the functions Of one OF
said departments shall assume or dis
charge the duties of any other"
We regret that Mr.. Gary is going to
force the matter as far as he is, because
there is nothing to be gained by it. 1t
is question of law, and we see moth
ing Mr.. Gary can gain by pushing the
matter. When we carry politics into
our courts and on the bench, the liber-
ties of our people will be getting in
danger.

RATHER STRANGE.

On another page may be found an
article from the Cotton Plant written
by Mr.. Jos. /. Keitt, lecturer o! the
Alliance for the third district.
He is rather severe on both the old
parties, and particularly the Demo-
cratic party. Among other things he
saws: "In 1T patriotism is dead-beyond
resurrection. Party success and boocle
is its motto" That is pretty severe for
one to say about the party to which ne
belongs.
Mr.. Keitt is the Democratic State
Senator from Newberry County, ana
was President of the Democratic Coun-
ty Convention held at Newberry only
about ten days ago, and was elected a
delegate to the Democratic State Con-
yention to be held in Columbia on the
18th Of this month.
It does seem a little strange to The
Herald and News that man would
continue to belong to party sin which
patriotism was dead beyond resurrec-
tion", and which had for its motto
"party success and DOODLE" unless ne
expected to get the ''boodle,' and then
it IS not often that one is found who IS
so honest as to admit that "boodle"
was the object in view.
But then Mr.. Keitt claims that he IS
only speaking of the national Demo
cratic party. Grant that, yet the COZ
yertion to which he is delegate IS
called for the purpose of sending dele
gates to the convention OF this national
Democratic party. II is all very strange
to The Herald aud News.
The county convention of which Mr..
Keitt was president passed the follow
ing resolutions:
Resolved, By the Democracy Of New
berry County, in convention assemoie
That we hereby reiterate and declare
our faith in the Democratic party.
Resolved, further, That the De'noc-
racy of Newberry County, in conven-
tion assembled, do hereby pledge to
abide the result of the primary election
and to support the Democratic noml-
nees-National, State and County.
There was no protest against these
resolutions so far as we have heard.
Mr.. Keitt was present and in the chair
and he never opened his mouth in op-
position so far as we have been ln-
formed.
He must have assented to a declara-
ton of faith in the Democratic party
".Nationol, State and County"
There must be something wrong
about all this. Surely Mr.. Keitt would
not pledge his faith in and willingness
to support party that he believed to
be dead to patriotism" aud only after
"boodle," and be willing to take part
in convention to send delegates to 8
rational convention.
There is something very strange
about all this. If Mr.. Keitt holds and
believes what is written in the Cotton
Plant he certainly should not, in JUS
tice to himself, take part in the State
Convention to which be has been
elected delegate.

and his tail up, the hunter shot, missed
the bird, but shot the dogs tail OF; the
dog turned around, picked up his tall
in his mouth and brought it to his
