Mr.. Horr opened with brief state
nent of his pasition. He said:
Judges and Gentlemen: 1t is agreed
between Mr.. Harvey and myself that
previous to entering upon the general
discussion, each of US shall make a brief
statement defining in general way
the position he proposes to occupy in
this debate.
The question which we are about to
discuss is one that is not only receiving
very great attention among the people
Of the United States, but it is one that
is also receiving some attention from
the nations Of the old world. The
question involves the kind of money
that shall be used by the people of the
United States and has to do with laws
which will affect the great business in-
terests of this nation. The question of
finance is very complicated one and
there are some features Of it about
which the ablest lhen of the world
have been differing for years.
Foundation of the Discussion.
The foundation of the discussion
upon which we are about to enter is
small book published by Mr.. Harvey,
my opponent, and entitled 'Coin's
Financial School"
Thereal aim and object OF that book
is to convince the people of the United
States that this government should
alone enter upon the free and unlimited
coinage of silver upon the old ratio of

SOME INCOME ETAx FIGURES.
Collectors Surprised 5T tho Large Returns
From Western Cities

From Western Cities.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-An analysis
o: the income tax returns indicates that
St. Louis and Chicago may pay more
into the treasury than New York City.
An official of the internal revenue bu-
reau says:
The returns now at hand show marked d.
visions in prosperity and the Capitalization Of
wealth. The American farmer IS poor. What
is known as the "old South makes the most
scant returns.
From Maryland to Louisiana the work Of the
income tax collector will be very light. 1t Is
from the west that the surprise OF the income
tax returns come.
The east, it Is said will not pay even half
the tax. In nearly every instance, the west
ern states have over-reached the estimate
which the commissioner placed upon them.
For instance, it was thought that the state Of
Texas would contribute revenue amounting to
about 100000
But Texas promises to pay more than $780,
600. Western cities like St. Louis and Chicago
make splendid showing Of prosperity, and
states like Iowa. Illinois, Missouri, Texas and
California bring up the returns from the pros
porous west amazingly.
From ST. Louis alone comes more than
$500 900, and the returns from the rest OF the
state run this up to about $4,000. While
Ohio is not generally looked upon as differing
in character from Indiana and Kentucky, yet
Cincinnati and it's many manufacturing towns
place 1t far ahead in the returns received as
compared with the other states mentioned.

4 Friends Tribute.

April 23rd, 1885.
Editor The Manning Times:-This
morning on my way down street l
was grieved to hear of the death OF
my lifelong friend, Joseph Sprott,
Sr., and determined that l would
write you something about his life Is
coming directly under my observa-
tion. First thought about my de-
parted friend was, where has he
gone? l turned to my Bible and |
find these words, II Samuel, 22nd
chapter, 1926 verses: He brought
me forth also into large place: He
delivered me, because He delighted in
me. The Lord rewarded me according
to my righteousness: according to
the cleanliness of my hands hath he
recompensed me, for have kept the
ways of the Lord, and have not wick
edly departed from my God, for all
his judgments ,cere before me: and
as for His statutes, did not depart
from them, | was also upright before
Him, and have kept myself from
mine iniquity, therefore the Lord
hath recompensed me according to
my righteousness, according to my

In my early boy-hood days my
fathers farm and his adjoined each
other, and they were friends. In the
year 1861 when our country was call
ing for hec sons to go to the front, l
well remember the smiling face of my
friend in urging us on, and when we
were about to leave home. we had
the grasp of his hand and GOD
bless you, boys. l will see that your
families do not suffer while you are
away" This made such an impress
sion on our minds, knowing that he
meant what he said. When we cot
to the city of Charleston, I, as orderly
sergeant, drew the company in line
under the railroad shed, and there it
was proposed that we should adopt
the name "Sprott Guards in honor
to our friend, Joseph Sprott. The
next day said that we
had taken the name Of "Spratt
Guards in honor of Col. Spratt, Of
Charleston, but next day the correc-
ton was made so that every one
might know who we intended to
honor. Many a one can testify that
he carried that promise out and COZ
tinued through long and useful life
to assist not only the Sprott Guards
and their families. but every one who
came within his reach. At our last
reunion (and he was always there
many of my comrades know how
generous he was in relieving one OF
our number who was then passing
under the rod and soon to pass over
the river to rest under the shade Of
the trees. l could continue to write
about him, but will leave it to others
who are better able than I am to tell
Of his life. l shall always thank God
for the life of his servant, Joseph
Sprott, and try and profit by his pre-
cept and example, so that l, too,
shall be ready when summoned to
meet Him, and shall, with my dear,
departed friend, praise the Lamb for

Precipitates Tragedy.
BAMBERG, S. c., April a2.-There was
a romantic love affair up in the factory
village yesterday afternoon in which
the old lady wat not outwitted as is SO
often the case Sol Goodwin was en-
gagged to marry Miss Ella Jones, a pref
ty young blonde of fourteen years. The
old folks objected and they were to
elope yesterday afternoon. Sol went
for his girl who true to her word left
her home to run away with him. The
girls mother was too alert for the
couple, however, and rushing out in
the street just in the nick Of time
seized Ella and had hand-to-hand tus-
sic with Goodwin who persistantly re-
fused to leave and did not until the old
lady stepped back and drawing out a
ss calibre revolver and placing it to
Goodwin's head demanded the young
man to leave the premises under pen
atty OF having a hole bored through
his brain, which he reluctantly but
wisely did The affair attracted a
large crowd who witnessed the anus
ing but almost tragic fight.

Joseph Sprott, Sr., has Joined the
Throne

Died, yesterday at his home in
Jordan, in the eighty-third year of his
age, Mr.. Joseph Sprott, ST.. Mr..
Sprott was man who merited the love
and respect of not only the commu-
nifty in which he lived, but the large
number of acquaintainces throughout
the State. He took deep interest
in the welfare of his neighbors and
many one has been the beneficiary
of his charity. His home was always
open to his friends, his hospitality
was proverbisl and he dispensed
charity with lsvished hand. He
lived a life that is worthy of imita-
ton by his fellow man. Mr.. Sprott
was a deep thinker and his Judge
ment on matters of business and
politics was sought after. He was
one of the twelve commissioners to
locate the county seat for this county,
and is the last member of the sub
committee OF the three who selected
Manning as the site. He never
would accept Office with profit, but
often served his people in public
position where no pay was attached.
When the war broke out Mr.. Sprott
was in bad health and not able to go,
but his remaining home was blessing
to the wives of and children of the
soldiers. He supplied the wants OF
the soldiers families and furnished
bountifully to the men at the front.
Mr.. Joseph Sprott, Sr., was truly a
patriot, gentleman and a man OF
piety. He was consistent member
OF the Methodist church nearly all his
life, and although having lived to a
ripe old age and havinglhad the graft
6cation of seeing his children grow
up and become staunch and worthy
citizens, his death has removed a
land mark that will be sadly missed.
The funeral took place to day at
Jordan church. Rev. James Nc
Dowell, an old friend of the deceased,
conducted the service. The funeral
was largely attended, and quite
number from Manning laid a side
their business to go to pay their last
respects to this noble gentleman.

Story Of Coiored Suffering in Palnetto's
Sea Islands sternly and RigidIy Des!ei.
CHARLESTON, s. c., April 19.-Several
days ago letter written by Mrs. R. c.
Mather, principal Of the Mather Indus
trial school for colored youths, was
published in the New York Evening
Post and New York Tribune represent
ing that the colored people on the
South Carolina sea island were suffer
ing greatly for the lack OF food and
clothing. They were represented in
starving condition and most urgent
appeal was made to the charita bly, dis
posed Northern people for assistance.
The matter was referred to Colonel T.
G. White, correspondent for the News
and Courier for investigation. Colonel
White writes:
cannot. under the circumstances allow
these statements and appeals for help to go
unchallanged and must say that any further
attempt to extort more charity from the big
hearted people who may be open to such ap-
peals would be an imposition upon their bener-
olence. as no unusual distress exists.
True 1t Is that the past winter was an ex-
ison to the winter that preceded it, when even
the Red Cross. who received tons and
tons OF clothing for distribution, must
have thought it unnecessary to distribute
but very small portion Of the goods they re-
ceired among the benefciaries for whom they
we're intended. and that by far the greater
bulk OF warm and more comfortable clothing
was, after being sorted replaced and reshipped
to their farm and establishment in Michigan.
am quite positive that there Is not and can
not be any starvation or undue suffering among
them attributable to the remote effect Of the
August cyclone, the traces Of which are now
almost obliterated. guarantee that there is
far less destitution and suffering in the genial
climate OF this section, either for want Of food
or deficiency OF clothing, than can be found in
the frigid north and northwest among the
working classes.
To be sure there is great depression in al
branches OF labor and employment here as
elsewhere, but the wonderful sources OF this
mild and genial climate and generous and pro-
life soil Is proof against>any such extravagant
statements Of squalor, starvation and want as
is attempted to be depicted by these writer's,
who having been responded to in their appeals.
can now have nothing but selfish and merce-
nary consideration to prompt them in holding
on the teat that afforded so much of the milk Of
human kindness, the quality OF which being
strained would bring cream to the top, but
