The Winnsboro Nelcs and Herald Of
June 7th contains the following from Mr..
Mitchell, the Chairman Of the Executive
Committee Of thu State Alliance, which
explains itself:
WOODWARD, s. e., June 4, lS94.-Office
OF Chairman Executive Committee State
sAlliance-To tho Editor Of the NeVs and
Herald: I notice communication in
your paper of HAY 80, from Mr.. E. G.
Palmer, of Ridgeway. in which he calls
upon me to state yes or no as to whether
the Alliance, as body. is bound By the
demands about which questioned the
Governor. In reply, I would say, no
one is required to surrender his individ-
uality when no joins the Alliance. The
obligation taken when becoming D1em-
ber of the Alliance says that it will not
conflict with the freedom of any mans
political OF religious views, hence I would
say g nan may be member Of the Alli-
.ance and refuse to support the demands.

The coal miners strike continues, with
prospect OF settlement as far off as ever.
Starting in Pennsylvania when demand
for increase of wages was refused. it has
spread all over the country, the miners OF
other States striking out of sympathy"
The result promises to be disastrous. not
only to themselves, bat to tue business
Interests of the whole country. They
have already been guilty Of high-handed
acts, murder, arson, and destruction OF
property, such as should place them out
side the pale of the law, and subject to
heavy penalties. The time has come for
the national government to interfere and
put stop to tho outrages. If the State
governments are unable or unwilling to
do SO. The people have rights in this
matter, which the horde OF alien miners
should be taught to respect. at the point
,of,the bayonet if necessary.

lie had approached one way and left an
other Whenever he had found another
track ahead of him he had stepped in it.
He had gone on roots and rocks when
ever it was possible. When he had
crossed clearings or soft ground he had
walked on his toes so Us to leave no
mark of his heels. For all that the men
on his trail followed him more than five
miles, through woods, across aud along
roads, over abandoned plantations,
around Hog Back mountain, across the
adwaters of the Saluda and into the
South Pacolet section. There the same
track which had been picked out at
Mr.. PluIney's was found leading to
within few yards of Van Burwelrs
house.
Van Burwell was found at homo and
was asked where his son Ben was.
"He isn't here" was the cautious and
characteristic answer, "but he can be
Iound if any body has any business with
him."
Suspicion is very strong against the
Burwells and it is increased by Mr..
Plumley's statement that they were the
only people outside his own family who
knew he had the money and how he
kept it. A warrant against Ben Bur-
we'll was sworn out before Squire Dill,
who lives about six miles from Plumley.
and was to have been executed Thursday
evening.
Mark Durham, who lives near Hog
Back, came down yesterday and brought
the news here, confirming statement of
the affair received by the Greenville
Ne,Us by telegraph from Tryon, N. c.,
yesterday morning. Mr.. Durham says
the Plurnleys and the people generally OF
that section are much wrought up over
the crime, the barbarity and cruelty of
the deliberate attempt to assassinate
helpless old woman having sent thrill
of horror and rage through the country.
If Mrs. Plumley dies and good case is
made against any man it is doubtful If
that man will ever get out of the noun
tains on his way to jail.
GREENvILLE, June 9.-Ben Burwell,
charged with robbing and shooting Mrs.
William .Plumley on Thursday, was ar
rested yesterday and lodged in the
Greenville Jail. The stolen money was
recovered, but Burwell insists that he did
not shoot Mrs. Plumley. There is the
strongest evidence that he is the guilty
party. StroEg hopes are entertained that
Mrs. Plumley will recover. BurWell is
half witted fellow.

A gooseberry farmer on the eastern
shore of Maryland recently shipped to
Baltimore ZOO pounds Of green goose
berries and sold them at four and a half
cents pound. He expects to gather
more than 600 bushels Of gooseberries
from six acres. The gooseherry is one OF
the fruits that sell better green than ripe,
Green gooseberry sauce is esteemed an
admirable ompaniment to meats in
the land where the gooseherry grows, and
green gooseberry pie, though less beauti-
full than cranberry tart, is an admirable
product.
- Probably the largest leatherhead sea
turtle ever seen in Baltimore was sent to
the Maryland Academy of Sciences last
Wednesday. The turtle weighed between
eight hundred and a thousand pounds /;
was seven feet long, six feet wide and
two feet thick. The head was two feet
in circumference, and man could get
his head in the turtles mouth. Its fms
were as long as mans arm and foot
wide. 1t was caught in j. A. Marion 8
fish net at Harborton, Accomac County.
Va, and it had to be raised out of
the net and on shore with block and
tackle.

THE PAINT BUSINESS F.!

w E have been in it some time, and
whilst, as we predicted in the beginning,
we havn't done 1t all, or even nearly all,
We have done enough to learn a good deal
about it, and have our Paint scattered on
good many houses in the Town and
County.
Our effort has bsea to furnish the best
material at the minimum price. In this
we confidently believe we have succeeded
That we sell the best material can be ea-
silly established by reference to those who
have used our stuf-not better than any
body else sells, but as good as anybody
sells at a.ny price.
On our Ready Mixed Paint we give our
personal guarantee, not only that it will
give perfect satisfaction In every particu-
lar, but also that it is as good and pure as
any sold in this or any other market at
any price To man who believes our
guarantee good we shall be pleased to sell
otherwise we don't want bis business.
On Lead and Oil OF course we can only
guarantee that they are strictly pure, and
will stand any test. Whether they give
satisfaction or not depends on whether
they are properly mixed and applied.
We shouldn't like our friends to think
that because we have been giving especial
attention to the Paint business lately our
interest in other lines has diminished. We
still manufacture "Choleracide." and our
Patent Mediciae shelves are always full.
We still have little Millet Seed, q few
Bean Seed and q lot Of Fishing Tackle.

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.
Work OF tho Democratic Executive ,,om-
mittee.
Special to Nescs and Courier.

COLUMBIA, June THE Democratic
State Executive Committee at its session
tonight adopted resolution permitting
any voter who would take the pledge to
participate in the approaching primary.
This was intended to remove all restric'
tions from those who voted for Weaver
electors, and who are now willing to
pledge support to the Democratic party.
The committee accepted schedule for
campaign meetings to open in YorkVille
on Tuesday, June 10, and close at Ander-
son on August Z. The meeting was very
one-sided, and the few Conservatives
we're arranged in front of Chairman
Irby's desk and had but little to say;
Things went along quite smoothly, and
the only ripple of excitement was upon
the question of allowing the Weaverites
who had taken the pledge to como BACK
into the fold. -,
The first matter to come up was wheth-
er the newspaper representatives were TO
be allowed in the meeting. Through the
kind interest Of Senator Finley they
landed on top and were soon at work.
The first puzzle was about the campaign
meetincs. Mr.. J. Walter Gray wanted
committee Of five to arrange the meetings
and made gallant fight for his scheme.
just as his idea was getting hold on tne
meeting Senator Finley unfolded his
little schedule and read out that campaign
meetings shall be held In this order:

is concerned did not do 30 and would
not have condoned it."
Mr.. Montgomery, of Marion, favored
the Aettles resolution.
Upon motion Mr, Nettles's resolution
was passed, and no question will be
asked as to whether the electors voted for
Weaver electors.
In response to an inquiry from DR..
Pope Chairman Irby ruled that any club
with less than twenty-five members was
not entitled to represen tatiop and was
consequently as good as disbanded, but
would have the same representation as
they had il 1902. Mr.. Douglass moved
that the rules of the last primary be re-
adopted. This was done without objec-
tion. The committeeman wanted the
rules read for their edidcation.
Mr.. MiXson wanted all candidates to
Mr.. Millett, of Sumter, offered the fol-
lowing resolution:
Iuasmuch is we feel that, as the Exec
utiye Com mittee Of the Democratic party
in South Carolina, we are not only tie
active force in formulating and carrying
out the plan and principles of our party,
but are charged with the duty OF pre-
serving perfect adherence to the party,
be 1t
RESOLVED, That we feel it our duty to
instruct each county chairman to have
the following question asked directly
through the press and at every campaign
meeting to all candidates for State and
national Office, "Will you support and
do you endorse the principles of the party
as enunciated in the platform OF the
Democratic party adopted at chicsgo at
the last National Convention of the
party 2" ~
MI. Neal moved to table the resolution.
Mr.. Evans asked what is the use TO
adopt such resolution when members
of Congress are constantly violating their
pledges.
The resolution was laid upon the table
without debate.
The committee was attended in person
or by proxy by all of the members OF the
Executive Committee with the exception
of one from Berkeley County.

The Pomalks Of Rhodope.

Who on earth, or what on earth, are
the Pomaks? is the question which will
suggest itself to most Of those who
glance at the heading of this article.
The Pomaks are Bulgarophone Moham-
medan Bulgarians that is to say, they
are Bulgarians who have adopted the
creed of Islam, but retained their own
language. With their native speech
they have preserved certain usages and
customs Of their own race, thus afford
ing to the ethnologist an admirable field
for speculation as to the extent to which
q change of religion, unaccompanied
by other influences, can modify the in
grained characteristics of nation.
There are Polnaks in many parts of
Bulgaria, but the Pomak territory par
excellence lies in the widest, remotest
region of the Balkan peninsula, in the
heart of Rhodope, terra incognita to
the European traveller, and known only
by report to the neighboring races; in
ancient days the haunt of the frenzied
Bacchantes,
OF that wild rout that tore the Thracian bard
In Rhodope, when woods and rocks had ears
To rapture, till the savage clamor drowned
Both harp and voice
and In later times the inaccessible re-
treat Of fierce, fanatical mountaineers,
who scorned for centuries the rule Of
Turk and Christian alike, and bravely
resisted every effort to bring them into
subjection. It was only quite recently
that Bulgarian force succeeded in oc-
cupying the remoter portion Of the
Pomak territory assigned seven years
ago by the convention of Top Khane to
Eastern Roumelia. Fortnightly Re-
view.
