central committee for $1,000! Not

And the annual interest on this cast debt
THREE HUNDRED AND NINETY-sEvEN
MILLION DOLLARs!!
Does Mr.. Walker call this prosperitus
A nd yet this was the result of twenty.
eight years Of nigh tariff.
And the figures given do not include
the chattel mortgage debt, or the un.
secured debts of individuals, the
store-bills, tailor's bills, machine
bills, ETC., etc. Nor does it include
the vast national debt; or the debts
of states, counties, townships. cities:
nor the debts of railroads, mills, fac.
tories. mines, ETC., represented by
bonds and stock.
We consider it very doubtful if the
whole property of the United States
could have been sold in 1890 for
enough to pay the debts Of the people.
No wonder the awful crash came in
1893.
But,-our readers will ask,-if you
are antagoniZing Mr.. Walker and his
high-tariff, then you must favor a low
tariff
AS Rudyard Kipling would say:
'"That'S another story"
Our position is,-that the American
people will thrive under any tariff
high or low-J they only hare an obund-
ant money supply. And they will be
impoverished under any tariff-high
or low-if the currency is not sutfic-
lent for the needs of trade and COM
merce.
A German philosopher, of an en-
curing turn of mind, the other day,
filled a bath-tub with de-fertilized
water;-that is, water which had
been subjected to such intense heat
that every form of germ life in it was
destroyed. And then the philosopher
stripped himself and took a bath,
and scrubbed and washed himself
thoroughly. And then he took drop
of that water and put it under a
microscope, and counted the number
of microbes in it; and he multiplied
the number so obtained by as many
times as there were drops of water in
that bath-tub; and he found that his
bath had relieved him Of four hun
dred and twenty billions of bacilli OF
all kinds, sorts and patterns, that had
been settled on his person, as thick az
money-lenders in Wall street.
Now what is the moral of all this?
AS long as the philosopher was in
abundant health the power of resist
ance, inherent in all living creatures,
kept the germs in check; but if his
liver got out Of order, or his intes-
tines did not do their duty, the YER
min took possession of him, just as
the Plutocrats have taken possession
Of this government; and eczema or
some other skin-disease followed, as
offensive as the banker dominate
which now afflicts this nation.
And when these $4,000 statesm en-
come along, and try to turn public at
tention from the real causes OF our
miseries, by bowling tariff" we beg
leave to knock their pretty theorizing
endways by an appeal to facts.
The tariff is a secondary matter
The curse Of this country has been
the domination Of rich men, who
can give IS 900, at lick, taken out of
saw logs, (bought cheap! to swell a
corruption fund, to control public
opinion and cheat the people into the
abyss of ruin they are now waIlowing
in.
That's the whole story. And that
is why the success of the Peoples Par
ty is necessary to the salvation Of the
nation

Farmers Moving South.

The movement of the North
western farmers to the South has
already taken tangible shape. Mr..
D. N. Wheeler, of Pender, Neb.,
has spent some weeks in Alabama
and other Southern States at the
instance of a number of Nebraska
farmers who have grown tired of
the protracted winters of Nebras-
ka and are preparing to move to
the South. Mr.. Wheeler has just
returned home and made a favora-
BILE report, and as soon as spring
opens the farmers will begin to
move southwark. On February 1
nearly 300 Illinois farmers started
on prospecting tour through the
South.
Fifty families left Chicago on
February 6 for Arkansas on a spe-
cial train bearing the inscription: {:
"Farewell to Drouths, Billiards.,
fCrop Failures, Doctors Bills and
Mortgages" They were fleeing
from the billiards., the long win
ters, the expensive fuel and the
draughts upon vitality of the
Northwest. A number of Iowa

Views of the Y. Nj. G. A. Work.

The public Y. M. C. A. meeting
in the Presbyterian church on
Sunday night last, was one of the
best ever yet held. The subject
for the evening was ''Views of the
Y. M. G. A. Work" Mr.. J. l..
Minis made the opening prayer.
Mr.. II. Cantelou delivered beau
tiful address on Chow Christian
worker Views the Work" MIR. s.
McGowan Simkins then gave his
views as q new member, which
was indeed treatt to all who heard
his magnificent remarks. Rev.
Mr.. Baldwin and Rev. DR.. Gwalt-
ney spoke very earnestly OH how
they viewed the works as Pastors,
and also how they srmpathized
and would always support the
work. Secretary John Lake, read
a very sweet letter written bv a
noble Christian lady on 'How a
Lady Views The work.
The music for this occasion was
grand, Mrs. R. H. Minis as '.rgan-
list. Miss Eliza Minis and Miss
Florence Adams performed ex-
quisitely on the violins, while
Mr.. George Mims's sweet clarionet
added much to the occasion. The
singing was beautiful and was led
by Miss Belle Minis, whose sweet
voice is always enjoyed by an
Edgefeld audience. Miss Marie
Abney also lent the charm Of her
voice to this occasion.
These public meetings are held
once a month in the different
churches every fourth Sunday
night, to which the entire commu-
nifty is invited. The next me IT.
ing will be held at the Baptist
church.

An Edgefield Boy, an Opera

Urges Our People tobe Up !.
and Doing.

Mr.. EDITOR: AS I am too un'
well to-day to attend to my duties
in the Mill I will drop you a few
lines in the hope that 1 may slim.
ulate old Edgefeld to get on board
at once and build a factory; moi
that I know a great deal about
factories, or how to build them
but because I do know this much
at any rate, that they are great
developers of a country, give work
and money to large numbers ot
people and scatter plenty, if not
luxury,
"O'er smiling land"
Pelzer IS delightful place,
made so by it's factory beyond any
question. Here we have one of
the largest cotton mills in the
South, six hundred thousand
dollar factory, and another one in
process of construction with equal
if not greater capital, the direct re-
suit of the first one. But for the
first mill we would never have
had the second. This second mill
is to be run by electricity. Why
will not Edgefeld build a cotton
mill? 1t is not a question of wheth-
er it will pay or not but it is a
matter of necessity. If Edgefeld
people sit still and other towns DO
not, and they do not, then Edge
field will soon lag superfuous on
the stage of action and some of
her little neighbors will get the
coon and 60.
Thirty-fve years ago a PROPOSE
ton was made to bring the G. G.
& A. R., through Edgefeld if a few
thousand dollars in bonds could
be secured to aid the construc-
tion. Her people declined the
overtrres, with thanks. The re-
suit I72s that half dozen small
towns were built up in Edgefeld
County all ofwhich drain Edge
field town; and the great South
ern Railway which might have
been a benefit to Edgefeld "pass-
ed by on the other side," TO her
actual detriment. But enough Of
this. Old Edgefeld will not long
er slumber and sleep. The time
to awake arouse or be forever in
the soup has come and her sons,
conspicuous everywhere and fore
most in every place, will not fail
to harken to the call to get a bu-
siness, financial, commercial move
on her. Let the tocsin sound
aloud and let every mothers son of
you chip in his thousands his
hundreds his tens and even his
fves for a cotton mill.
Did it ever occur 20 you, Mr..
Editor, 10 ask why it is that cotton
mills and kindred industries are
so much more desirable to a COM
munity than many other enter
prizes.
Well, in the first place, to ope-
rate a cotton factory you have to
import. bring in, a population
to do the work and this popula-
tior, men, women, and children, is
supported, clothed fed and housed
by the mill. Second the money 10

land. Two hundred families will
shortly remove from one section OF
the Northwest to Florida. Some
Ohio peach growers are putting
out 100000 pevch trees in Geor-
gla. They propose to duplicate
Peachtree street, Atlanta.
1t is estimated by the New Or
leans papers that nearly 10000
settlers from the Northwest have
recently moved into southwesI
Louisiana. Car loads of immi-
grants with goods, stock, etc., are
arriving at Crowley, La, every day

in the South is unprecedented.

do all this with comes from the
sales of the factory products; but
these sales are not made in the
immediate community but are
made abroad, all over cr' alton
from
"Greenland's icy mountains to Afric's
golden sand"
1t may then be laid down as a
maxim of political economy that
that industry is best for any com
munity which reaches out farth-
est for its business and with the
longest arms for its sales and
profits, and then pours out these
ingathered skekels in the laps of
home people.
This thing is what cotton mills
do; they bring back every dollar
from sales made abroad to
spend at home, except only the
profits, and the profits are often
after few years reinvested in an
other cotton plant of the same
kind.

We Get Together.

At meeting of sundry citizens
OF Edgefeld County ON last Sat
urday, held pursuant to call and
notice published in these columns
for the past two weeks, Or. W. ii.
Zimmerman was called to the
chair, and 5. B. Mays and W. d.
Ready were made secretaries. The
purpose of the meeting having
been stated, the following resolu-
tions, offered by Capt. P. B. Wa
tiers, were adopted:
Whereas, it is Of supreme i'm
portance that the Democracy Of
South Carolina in adopting a new
constitution for the government OF
the State, shall be actuated by the
desire to maintain and perpetuate
white supremacy-which can be
accomplished only on the basis OF
white unity, so as to subserve the
common interests, and promote
the general welfare of all the peo-
pie alike.
And whereas. in order to accom-
plish these purposes successfully
it is necessary to eliminate fac
tional prejudice and preference
from the body polite, and inaugu-
rate the spirit of mutual forbear-
ance among the differing factions
aof the Democracy OF the State.
Therefore be it
Resozoe0, That in the selection
of delegates to the Constitutional
Convention fitness alone for the
important work to be done should
be considered; and that men of
prudence, patriotism, and high
character should be chosen as del
egates without reference to their
past political affiliations beyond
the fact that it is essential that
they shall be faithful to the prin-
ciples and purposes of the De-
mocracy of our fathers.
End. That we are in full SYM
pathy with the purpose of the
gentlemen who have invited con-
ference of Democrats in the city
of Columbia on the 9th inst. and
will elect six representatives from
this county to said conference.
In accordance with the above
resolutions the following gentle
men, three reformers and three
conservatives 1--WE used to call 'em
antis) were elected to represent
Edgefeld County in the confer
ence to be held in Columbia on
Friday of this week:
w. H. Timmerman,J. C. Sheppard,
j. B. Suddath, Fl. II. Townes,
n. G. Evans, S. MEG. Simkins.
We have no comments to make
on the meeting except to say that
although not large it was fairly
representative of the sentiment
of the county, and might be de-
dominated a political love feast
between the two factions in Edge
field.
