THE LUNATIC ASYLUM.

= " = T -
We are in receipt Of the 6sth an
nual report of the South Carolina Lu-
natic Asylum for the fiscal year 1922.
The superintendent, DR.. James w.
Babcock, makes in this report an ex-
cellent showing for the institution
since his incumbency. But Edgefeld
people will be specially interested in
knowing how Mr.. J. w. Bunch, stew
ard, has acquitted himself. We quote
from the report:
Special attention, is called to the
Steward'sreport of the results from
the farm. Besides an abundant supply
of vegetables for the patients tables,
there was an excellent yield OF oats
and corn. Some portions of the farm
have made four full crops in rotation
during the season. The estimated
market value of the puoducts from the
farm for the year is $40, ,63S,9S, and the
cost for labor, &C., was $7,397.S7, thus
giving a profit of $13,337.51 or $7S.45
net per acre for the .170 acres under
cultivation.
These figures are sufficient to satisfy
any one that Gov. Tillman made q
most judicious selection when he ap-
pointed. Mr.J. w. Bunch steward OF
the Asylum, and they speak, trumpet
tongued, in praise of both the Gov
ernor and the steward.

How DOCTORS DISAGREE

There's a wide difference OF
opinion between Democratic news
papers, as to whether an extra
session of Congress should ne
called by President-elect Cleye-
land. Our neighbor across the
Savannah river, the Augusta
Chronicle, is almost violently OPP
posed to such extra session; the
Columbia State, on the other
hand, isequally strenuous in Its
advocacy of an early assembling
ofCongress. The News and cou-
rier is astride the fence. We
have no hesitancy in saying that
the News and Courier will get down
Oh the same side as the Augusta
Chronicle i'll short time, SO soon
as it finds out that Cleveland is
opposed to an extra session, as it
will in a few days.

Split in The Alliance.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 1S.-The
knot in the Farmers Alliance
eliminated in a bolt this morning,
and those opposed to the peoples
party captured the body, held a
caucus and concluded to form
new association, embodying the
doctrines Of the alliance, buthold-
ing aloof from politics. The
Taubeneck crowd having captured
the con ference, many delegates
refused to attend the executive
session. At 9 o'clock they got to-
gether and effected a temporary
organization, and began to shape
matters for the issuance of 8
manifesto.a
Doctor McCune made the fol-
lowing statement: 4 withdrew
from the convention hall becuase
the national committee of the
peoples party have come here and
are attempting to secure control of
the alliance. They have used foul
means and have gone 80 far as to
make up a slate of officers. Con-
sidering that these men were in
control of the convention and had
determined to cary out their meas
ures contrary to all alliance tradi-
tions and principles I withdrew
from the hall and shall remain
out as long as such methods are
being used to divert the purpose
of the alliance. The delegates who
left the hall felt the same as I did
about the matter"

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

The returns show that the
socialist vote in New York and
New Jersey is this year more than
double its total of four years ago.
In Kansas one of two avowed
socialists will probable be ssnt to
the United States senate The two
men are not foreigners or illiterate
laborers. One of them is a scholar,
another a properous business man.
I'm England socialism becomes
stronger every year.. gaining not
only in numbers but in character,
force and purpose. Iu every part
of Europe the forces of anarchy,
socialism and communism become
constantly stronger, bolder and
more troublesome. In this country.
the instinct of socialism asserts
itself everywhere in vague unrest
and classification with present
conditions.
There is cause for it all. Condi-
tions can not be healthy or settled
when a few men have more money
than they can spend and thousands
of men willing to work can not
find the work to to do to earn bread
for their stomachs and clothes for
their backs. We can not believe
the Almighty intends that this
world which He has made and peo-
pie should remain in such a
condition. It will not do to say
that if He did not intend it it
would not be 80. That is the
fatalist theory that "what is right"
It would have stopped every reform
and advance in the worlds history.
Great changes are coming. They
are as inevitabls as the rising of
the Isun after the darkness of
night.
Wise and honest men will not
clsse their eyes or try to forget
these things. They will grapple
seriously with the enormous
problems now before the human
race and consider earnestly the
many conflicting. theories and
methods of solution. They will
give time and thought and effort
to having the inevitable changes
brought step be step and safely
and surely instead of by a mad
rush which will sweep away all
barriers and carry the world as
far INTO wrong at one extreme as
it now is at another.-Greenville
News.
True as preaching, but when
Tillmanism came one of the signs
of the times, an advance breeze,
as it were, one of the ''steps" to
inevitable change" and intended
to prevent the "mad rush which
will sweeps away all BARRIERS" the
editor of the News got right in the
middle of the road and had to be
run over and thrown over the
sssnce before he would bow to his
own theory and see things as
other see them. Friend Williams
is q Tillmanite in the abstract,
but in the concrete he wou'5pan.

DEACON CR1NBE.
Gen. Weaver's Address.

DEs MONIES, Ia, Nov. 16.-Gen-
eral Weaver to-day issued an ad-
dress in which he congratulates
his followers on the splendid
showing made by the third party
and sounds note of warning as
to what vicious legislation may
be expected from the party lin
ascendency. The address says:
"Unaided by money our grand
young party has made an envia-
BILE record and achieved surprising
success and polls. We are but a
little, behind the Republican party
in the number of States carried.
Not being formed on sectlonaIlines
our party in single campaign
has gained a large and influential
followin gin every State in the
South. The country is to be con-
graduated upon the fact that the
leaders of one of the heretofore
great parties have been abandoned
and overthrown by the people and
their organization we'll nigh
annihilated.
The accession of the other party
to power is the result of violent
reaction and not, l am suIe, of the
deliberate judgment of the Ameri-
can people. The new administra.
tion will ignore the three great,
contentious of modern times, relat-
to land, money and transportation,
and will not attempt to solve either.
The urgent demands OF the peo-
pie for the free coinage of silver is
to be disdainfully ignored, and
one of the most valuable results
of the late civil war, that of a
uniform legal tender currency
issued by the government, is to
be sacrificed and abandoned, and
serious attempts made to force the
people to return to the fraudulent
system of State bank issues.
"Our party has not made it's
advent too soon: Its mission is to
restore to our government its
original and only legitimate func-
tion, and 1 sincerely trust that
work, organization education may
now be, pushed with energy
throughout all the States. The
field is ours and we must occupy
it without delay.

TIE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

I6E 0GF OblIAOAN I3ANl1s .
The Republican party, which
from 1860 to the present had al
ways been q party with an
abundance ofissues, an issue ready
for every emergency, has fallen
into the trough of the political
sea SO to speak, and is absolutely
without q rudder-not a single
issue upon which to make another
campaign, ueless is shall re-
habilitate itself in Democratic
clothes, and out Herod herod in
screaming for a tariff for revenue
only. Harper's Weekly, a repub-
lican paper up to a few years past,
has the following to say of the
prospects Of that party:
The. crushing defeat it has
suffered hasthrown- the republican
party into a singularly precarious
situation. The issues that sprang
from the civil war are disposed Of
and irretrievably gone. The high
tariff issue, upon which it staked
its credit as well as it's fortunes,
has brought disaster upon it
which renders a new fight on the
same lines hopeless. On that issue
victory cannot be won with
argument, and-to the honor OF
the American people be it said
the recent election has conclusively
shown that victory cannot, in the
long run, be purchased with money
The principle underlying the
;:force BILL" too, has been
effectually eliminated from ou'
political struggles. Thus the
Republican party stands to-day
t in American politics without q
positive programme, without
living policy. 1t may still pro.
claim it's views and formulate its
demands with regard to such sub.
iects as the currency and the re-
form Of the civil service, but on
these points its declarations will
not differ from those of tn" her'o.
cratic party. 1t has evidently l"''
the confidence of majority of tht
American people, and sfor some
time to come it's promises will be
diacredited by the memory OF lts
performances. 1t has lost its high
position in the political life Of
this republic.
= r.
1t has yielded that place to the
new Democracy as represented by
Nh. Cleveland, which, re-enforced
as it is by the m.tured reform SEN
timent as well as the young INTEL
igence of the country, is now to be
regarded as being charged with
the work of the time. The Republl.
can party sinks down to the leyel

&c. We demand a graduated

I'D. That our national legislation
shall be SO framed in future as not
to build up one industry at the
expense of another.
"E. We believe that the money
Of the country SHOULD be kept as
much as possible in the hands OF
the people and hence We demand
that all national and StateTevenue
shall be limited to the necessary
expenses of the government
economically and honestly ad-
ministered.
"F. We demand that postal say,
ings banks be established by the
government for the cafe repe st. Of
the earnings of the people and fail
exchanges. ;,
aL.nd-The land, including all
natural resources of wealth, is the
heritage of all the people and
should not be monopolized fol
speculative purposes, and alien
ownerships of land should be pro,
Inhibited.
"All lands now held by rail roads
and othcr corporations in excess
of their actual needs and lands
now owed by aliens should now be
reclaimed by the government and
sold for actual settlers only.
"Transportation-. Transportation
being means of the exchange ano
