to excuse him he voted against "Salu-

With some unimportant verbal
amendments the ordinance was then
declared duly passed.
OTHER PROCEEDINGS.
There were several new ordinances
none of them of special interest, ex-
cept the following:
By Robt. Smalls: To regulate the
right of suffrage. This ordinance pro-
poses universal suffrage outright.
By Mr.. Gamble, of Williamsburg,
offered an ordinance for the same pur-
pose. It is the Mississippi plan, ="
with some changes.
By DR.. Zimmerman: To pension
Confederate veterans.
By Mr.. Parler: To give women the
right to vote.
By Mr.. Sloan: Requiring the Legis-
lature to let the public printing out to
lowest bidder.

The Advance in Cotton,

The cotton market has continued to
advance steadily, and middling cotton
is now at 74 cents in this market, while
contracts are at s cents and above.
There has, therefore, been an advance
of fully, SIS per bale from the lowest
prices of the past season. "Will this
price hold is now the question that
every one interested in cotton is ask
ing himself" says the New Orleans
Picayune. The greatest number OF
people in the cotton trade appear at
the moment to believe prices to 60
even higher. There is not the least
doubt that the crop is a very late one,
nor is there now much question that
there has been a very considerable de-
crease in the yield, even if the crop
does MOI turn out as small as 1000, 600
bales, which is the figure that many
sanguine people have pinned their
faith to. The present prices are un-
questionably satisfactory to the cotton
growers, and it may be assumed that
were the crop less backward they would
now be shipping freely. The fact that,
in spite of the high prices, receipts
should remain light is strong CON
frmation of the crop shortage which
has been predicted. It will take a
great amount of arguing to get over
that fact. Judging by past experience,
the planters will rush their crop to
market freely enough to take advan-
tage of presentprices as soon as scotton
becomes more plentiful in the interior,
and it is possible, and even probable,
that free marketing, if even but for
brief period, will cause a temporary
reaction. It should be remembered,
however, that planters are more inde-
pendent this season than usual hence
any appreciable break in prices would
soon check up receipts. The produc-
ers seem determined to get full value
for this crop, and, while they will
likely enough be willing to sell freely
with prices in the neighborhood OF
8 cents they are pretty sure to hold
back whenever the market drops ma
terially below that figure. From all
present indications; the season of 1895.
96 is likely to prove a producers and
not spinner's year, as far as profits
are concerned. Turn about is certain
ly fair play.

A Distinctive Silver Movement.

CHICAGO, Sept. 10 The resolutions
formulated by the executive commit
tee of the National Silver Committee
are as follows:
Resolved by the executive COM
mittee of the National Silver Com
mittee, That the American Bi metal
lie League and the National Bi-metal-
lie Union be requested to join with
this organization in calling a confer
ence on the third Tuesday of Decem-
Der, 1895, at Chicago. to take action
in formulating a plan for holding a
national convention to nominate can
didates for President and Vice Presi-
dent of the United States upon a plat
form with the sole plank providing for
the restoration of silver to its con-
stitutional place in the currency of
our country, without awaiting the
action of any other nation on earth.
"Resolyed, That all persons who at
tend said conference shall have rre-
viously declared their intention, in
writing, of placing the views of free
coinage of silver Independently by the
United States above all party allegi-
ance.
"Resolved, further, That the object
of such conference shall be to inaugu-
rate distinctive silver movement for
the campaign of 1896 before it is too
late for effective action, to the end
that all believers in free, coinage may
unite for that campaign for the solu-
ton of this great question, and be LETT
free to readjust the political relations
after this question is settled.
Resolved, further, That if said
American Bi-metallic League and Ma
tional Bi-metallic Union shall fail to
join in said call by Novembere1, 1895,
then the president of this organization
shall issue said call in behalf of this
organization.
"Resolved, further, That the ques-
ton of representation at said confer
ence and the method of selecting dele
gates shall be settled by conference
Of the presidents of the three organlza-
ton herein mentioned, and each or,
ganization shall be entitled to equal
representation.
ELECTIONS will take place this year
in eleven States, one-quarter OF the
whole number and but few are really
important. The States voting are Iowa,
Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massa-
chusetts, Mississippi, Nebraska, New
York, N ew Jersey, Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania. A Governor will be returned
in Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massa,
chusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey and
Ohio, and four Of the seven now have
Democratic Governors. Besides these
Utah will abandon the Territorial
stage and become a State, choosing a
full set of officers. The interesting
contests are in Kentucky, Maryland,
New Jersey and Ohio.

ton into which it had sunk. Memory
brings to mind two incidents of that
memorable campaign and cannot re-
frain from relating them as they will
feelingly illustrate the temper and
character and service of the two men.
AN INCIDENT OF rs.
Those of you who are old enough
will remember that after the famous
joint debate with @ Chamberlain at Edge
field Court House on the 18th of Au-
gust, in which that dirty carpetbagger
had been so badly worsted, the troops
were sent to Edgefeld and a pretext
was sought to declare martial law.
The Radical managers felt that the
wave of liberty was sweeping them out
to the sea and that something must be
done to stem the tide.
Notice was sent out to the negroes
in EdgefeId of mass meeting to be
held, at which Chamberlain would
again attempt to speak under the pro-
lection of the troops, and naturally a
large number of colored people were
on hand on the day appointed. Gen.
Gary, who was county chairman, had
organized Edgefeld more Thoroughly
than has ever been known in the his
tory of any people. Every man in it
able to ride horse belonged to some
compay, with regularly elected officers,
and many of those companies had
armed themselves with improved wea-
pons. And such was the state of feel
ing that Gary could at any time mobi.
lie and concentrate thousand red
shirts in ten hours. Chamberlain,
however, did not come. He was too
cowardly to risk it. Thespeakers who
ventured into the lions den, for Edge
field was as much in a state of revolu-
ton as Paris was in 1889, were two or
three of the minor State officers, includ-
ing Jillson, Nagle and the fat mulatto
Smalls. Gary had seat out orders for
a large number of red shirts to be on

Mr.. Tillman went on to say some.
thing about an hereditary prejudice
that existed between one of the bygone
Buffers and Mr.. Watson's grand,
father.
Mr.. Talbert raised a point of order
that this was carrying things beyond
bounds.
The chairman sustained the point.
Mr.. Tillman stated that Mr.. Watson
had attacked in the same manner.
The chairman said that was out OF
order. Mr.. Tillman demanded to
know why the president didn't stop
him then.
Mr.. wATsoN's STATEMENT.
Mr.. Watson then got the floor. He
said he desired to state to Col. Tillman
that what he had said was based on
information given him. He went on
to make an explanation and concluded
by saying: 81 desire here and now to
retract it." He was cheered. Mr.. Till
man said: II accept the gentleman's s
disclaimer" and he was cheered also.
Senator Tillman closed the debate,
replying to the previous speakers, and
emphasizing his previous points.
THE VOTE.
Mr.. Wilson's motion to indefinitely
postpone was then defeated by vote
of "a nays to SO yeas.

ton to substitute "Saluda" for But
Ter" as the name of the new county

had been sent to Edgeheld by Grant.
The other had on the grey coat of the
Confederate brigadier and military
boots. It was the crucial test of nerve.
South Cardinals desting hung in the
balance and Gary saved her. The
"Bald Eagle" Strengthened up, his eyes
cleaning, and clear and shrill, for his
voice always rang like a silver bell,
he exclaimed. "By God, sir, I'll not do
it. will keep the compact I made
with you this morning, that the whites
and negroes should vote at separate
boxes and if you think your blue coats
can make way for these negroes to
vote again, try it."
There had been the stiffness of death
while these two confronted each other,
but when that voice rang out the
whites caught up the yell of defiance
and for minutes spandemonium reigned.
Ruger quietly turned on his heels and
went back to his quarters. The ne
groes skunk away like dissolving mist
and in less time than Ihave taken to
tell it not one of them was to be seen.
THE HAMBURG AFFAIR.
Allusion has been made to Buffers
service at Hamburg. I was at Ham
burg and know that those services
were great. But the people were ready
to act without his leadership and you
all remember the despicable and cow
ardly stab he aimed at me last sum-
mer with reference to that riot. For
all his services to the State he has been
amply rewarded and had he possessed
a scintilla of genuine patriotism he
would have died before he entered
upon the role which he played since
August 1894.
We are asked to name county af-
ter this traitor. Will you disgrace
yourselves by giving his name to this
county2 But the clouds will roll by,
we are told, and when reason shall re
gain her away, the prejudice, as my
colleague terms it, against this man,
will pass away. Mr.. President, there
is no prejudice. 1t is a sense of righte-
Gus indignation and wounded senti-
ment which called down the wrath of
this people on Buffers head He has
attempted to stab the State through
Judge Goff by overthrowing our elec-
ton machinery and this is his unpar-
donable sin.

ssNIan With the Branded Hand"

The person who became famous in the
annals Of America as ''The Man With
the Branded Hand was a Captain jon
athan Walker. He was born at Ear
wick, Mass, in 1899, and died at Lake
Harbor, Mich, on April 20, 1878. On
June 23, 1914, he attempted to steal
seven slaves from the coast Of Florida,
the intention being to take them to Mas
sau, in the British island Of New Provi-
dence. When only a short distance out,
he was overtaken and captured by the
sloop Catherine and taken back to Key
West. At that place he was kept in jail
until he could be removed to Pensacola,
where new trial was given. He was
sentenced to prison and chained by a
chain and ring bolt. He was kept for
some time imprisoned in that manner,
or until the time arrived to carry out a
further sentence, which read as follows:
Zone hour in the pillory, pelted with
understandable eggs; one year in prison
for each slave stolen; 5000 in money foc
each slave, and all costs, and to be
branded upon the right hand with the
letters S. s.. (slave stealer) by red
hot branding IRON"

tested by the fact that it has only been

Japan Ahead of China.

Japan, in spite of her mistakes, stands
for light and civilization. Her institu-
lions are enlightened. Her laws, drawn
by European jurists, are equal to the
best we know, and they are justly adj
ministered. Her punishments are hui
name. Her scientific and sociological
ideas are our own. China stands for
darkness and savagery. Her science is
ludicrons superstition; her law is bar
barous; her punishments are awful; her
politics are corruption; her ideals are
isolation and stagnation.
In thousands of Yamens throughout
China men are tortured every day, hung,
up by the thumbs, forced to kneel upon
chains, beaten with heavy bamboos.
their ankles cracked, their limbs broken.
Every week men are publicly crucified
and hacked to death by the Thousand
cuts" How is anybody to desire the ex7
tension of the sway Of the latter rather
than that of the former without avow-
ing himself partisan of savagery?-
