come and ear him The financial condition
Of the country is deplorable. Not only hun
dreds and thousands, but millions of people
are out of employment, and begging without

daily bread. Factories are closed, business
paralyzed, and the producer made to sell his
products below the cost of production, with
the inevitable result in the loss Of his home
stead, and this condition is obtained 10 the
midst of peace and plenty. The grauaries of
the West are bursting with grain, yet the
people are starving There is surplus of
cotton, yet the people cannot get clothing
Money piled up in the banks yet the people
are penniless; millions revelling in luxury
and tramps by the wayside pe.ishng. The
Alliance claims 10 have in its demands rem
edy for these evils. Come and hear Mr.. Tatum
explain them, 80 that peace and plenty may
smile upon our land, bloody revolution be
averted, and our people become the most
happy and contentei on earth

The Treasurer's Report.

At a meeting Of the County Commissioners
held yesterday, the matter of the cost of pub
lication of the County Treasurer's report was
discussed. The 6fty dollars which Mr..
Knight agreed to pay the County Banner OF
Bishopville were paid to Mr.. H. L. Darr, the
proprietor. As to the Herazd's bill, Mr.
knight having objected to the calling in OF
any local printer to estimate what amount OF
space the printing should have occupied, the
matter was referred to the Nsws and Courier
for an opinion. Our readers are aware that
the Fireman and this paper estimated the
amount of "stufing" at lao inches. 1t will
be interesting to see how near to the correct
estimate we came 1t will probably be seve-
raj days before the opinion of the Nescs ana
Courier is received.

Charley villeneuve Dead.

The community WAS greatly shocked on
Sunday to bear Of the sudden death OF
Charlie Villepeuve by the accidental discharge
of pistol, the night before. He and Willie
Bultman were on their way to Hagood to get
Mr.. Crawford Sanders to go with the baseball
club to Georgetown on Monday. Wheo
about twelve miles out by the old Jack Bowen
place, near Stateburg, now owned by Mr..
Jas. S. Pinckney, he proceeded TO 6l his pipe,
preparatory to taking a smoke. the pisto!
lying on his lap. In getting out his tobacco,
the pistol was jostled out of his lap, and the
hammer striking the floor of the buggy, was
discharged, the ball striking him io the left
side, and ranging upward, penetrated his
heart, inflicting a mortal wound He ex-
claimed to his companion that he was shot,
and never spoke again. He was removed TO
the piazza of house near by, and died in a
very few minutes. Willie Bultman got DR..
W. E. Sparkman as speedily as possible, bu,
Charlie WAS dead before the doctor arrived on
the scene Bultman then came on to Sumter
aud broke the awful news to the family. The
remains were brought here on Sunday, and
tina, afternoon the funeral services were held
at the family residence on Main Street, by the
Rev. W. w Mood, and on Monday, by the
early train, the body was taken 10 Cberaw
and buried by the side of his fathers, where
he had expressed q desire that they should
rest.
This sudden and distressing occurrence was
one Of the most shocking aesidents that ever
happened in this city, and the sympathies OF
all were deeply enlisted for the widowed
mother of the dead boy to an unusual degree,
as well as for the other members Of his
family He;had worked his way up to the
place Of conductor on the c. S. + N. railroad,
having won the marked esteem and confidence
OF his employers. He was deservedly popu.
lar, in the best sense of that term, and his life
gave promise of great usefulness and saccess.
He will be much missed by q large circle of
friends, but especially by bis mother to whom
he was a source of great comfort.
He was insured for $4,000. He was %
