In answer TO the formal protest
Of The Cotton Plants printing
committee, its editor, Mr. Crews,
asserts that some of the committee
are not above suspicion. He
makes many charges against
Messrs Ellerbe, McLaurin, Neal
and Editors koester and Gonzales.
According to Mr. Crews, these
men have entered into conspiracy
against Tillman.
He claims that a political alliance
has been entered into by the
present State administration with
that faction of the conservatives
known as silverities and led by
Editor Gonzales for tbs purpose
OF controlling the politics of the
State. Col Neal, he says, assured
him that Gonzales and his silver
followers had joined causes with
the reformers and would do battle
for "our side" in the next State
campaign. This was a week or
two before Senator Earle's death.
From this time, he says, he was
convinced that McLaurin's groom
ers and the State administration
were in collusion with Gonzales.

MEASUREMENTS.
His Opinion of Cotton Plants
Editor ForcibIv Expressed. .-
Alleged Combination
Dealt With

l)calt w Ith
Col Neal has given out the fol
lowing statement in reply to that
Mr. Crews published in the Cotton
Plant:
read with much surprise an
editorial from the Cotton Plant
which appears this morning. In
this editorial Mr. Crews makes
many statements in reference to
the publishing committee Of the
Cotton Plant. Mr. Crews him
self admits that much Of the in
formation, which he has seen fit
to give to the public, was private
ly and confdentially received. If
his statements be true he is un-
worthy of the respect and conf
dence of the good people of South
Carolina for he has betrayed the
confidence, which among honor
able gentlemen destroys the force
of whatever he may say. How
ever, MIR Editor, there is scarcely
one statement made by Mr. crews
which is not partly or wholly un-
true.
He states that |, as chairman of
the committee, offered him fftv
dollars Il month and his board at
the Grand Central Hotel if he
would move the Cotton Plant TO
Columbia. This statement is alb
solutcly y incorrect. The commit
tee 5 contract with Mr. Crews pro
vides that VIC were to have given
him eighty dollars to assist in
moving the material, etc, from
Spartanburg to LaurcM~ and 9TH
cr-wise get the paper started.
This was all we agreed to pay un
der the contract covering the
year 1897.
The committee paid Mr. Crews
one hundred and thirteen CSll3. =
OOD in Il very short time after the
paper was removed to Laurcns.
Learning from Mr. Crews that we
should have to continue to advance
money to him from time to time,
we were forced to look around to
make some other arrangements.
Accordingly we suggested the
proEriety of removing the Cotton
Plant to Columbia, which PROPOSE .
ton Mr. Crews readily consented
to. We did have a conference
with Mr. Rooster and endeavored
to make an arrangement with him
for Mr. Crews, but could not per-
suade Mr. Rooster to agree to take
the paper with Mr. Crews. Mr.
Crews agreed to work on the Re
cord and Cotton Plant, set type,
or do any other work for $50 q
month. ! insisted that Mr. Crews
should demand $50 a month and
his board, but he argued that he
would he glad to get $50 to start
with. This is the nearest position
to buy out Mr. Crews and his in
fluence that was made to him by
the committee.
In reference to consulting MI
McLaurin, which Mr. Crews states
was necessary before Mr. Koester
would agree to any proposition,
Mr. Rooster did consult Mr. w I
Martin, who owns the Record
Plant, and Mr. Martin advised
againft talking the Cotton Plant
as a business proposition. With

In the early days Of New England
almost everybody of dignity performed

custom of stealing the bride after the

and releasing her only when the bride
groom bought supper for them.
They had good things to eat, though,
if two people did have to eat off the

England way to cook eels was to stuff
them with nutmeg and cloves, stick
them with cloves, cook in wine, place
on chatting dish and garnish with lem
