The Nicaraguan government has
seized the property of the Maritime
Canal company. Under its concession
the canal company was to complete its
work within ten years. The ten years
expired two years ago, and it is stated
that the seizure has been made at the
instance of another syndicate which
proposes to carry operations to COM
pletion. The contract of the Maritime
Canal company with the Nicaraguan
government, provides for an extension
of time in the event of forceful inter.

ing the numerous unsuccessful efforts
to unite the farmers so that the cotton
acreage might be reduced and prices
thus increased, another attempt to form
kind of trust is to be made. Mr.. ].
G. Wilburn, president of the Cotton
Growers association, has issued a call
to the farmers to organize in every
county and send delegates to state
convention to be held sometime in Sep
tember. The object is to provide
means whereby cotton can be held and
marketed in such quantities as will
keep the price up. The plan contem-
plates having the cooperation of banks
go that warehouses may be established,
and loans made on cotton until it is
finally marketed. This is the general
outline of the plan ; but there are var
ious minor details. Some Georgia far
mers have formed such an association,
and it is proposed to adopt their plan
in this state.

THE TIRzAH ENCAMPMENT.

In point of attendance, the Tirzab
encampment was not equal to that Of
last wear. There was also some dis.
appointment in the matter of speak
ing.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
failed to fulfill his appointment on
Thursday. Mr.. w. N. Elder, who
presided, said he did not know why.
Congressman A. c. Latimer and
Railroad Commissioner j. G. Wilborn
spoke during the morning, and Con
gresham Finley, DIR. Strait, I. F
Mellow, Esq, and W. G. Hough, Esq,
spoke in the afternoon.
The speech of Congressman Latimer
was probably the most sensational Of
the day, especially the latter part of it.
He devoted perhaps an hour to the
discussion of imperialism and militia
rism, and then addressed himself to
Senator McLaurin, who was, of course,
absent, in the interest of DR.. Strait.
Mr.. Latimer said he knew two years
ago that DR.. Straits charges of Re-
publicanism against McLaurin were
correct, and that he can furnish proof,
which, however, he claimed was un'
necessary for the reason that time had
already vindicated the doctors posi-.
ton. Mr.. Latimer went on to say
that perhaps he would be candidate
two years from now for the United
States senate against McLaurin. II

at the whole proceeding.

We do not like to hear Senator Till.
man claiming that be has no interest in
this campaign beyond a patriotic de-
sire to advise the people what is best for
them to do, for we do not believe any
thing of the kind. The senator contra
diets himself when he refers to the dis
pensary as "his baby" In this he is
eminently correct. The dispensary is
certainly his baby, and as the result of
a political career of Is years, it is the
only political baby that he can claim
as his very own. The people of the
state seem to be in grave doubt as to
whether this baby should be allowed
to live, and when the senator asks
"What kind of father would l be
to stand by and watch another man
spank my baby ?" he explains his en-
tire interests in the matter. 10 view
of the great promises the senator made
in the past, and in view of his charges
of mediocrity against others, it is not
difficult to understand his anxiety for
the health of this, his only political
child. Instead of being on the stump
only as disinterested patriot, his per-
sonal interests are greater than are
those of all the balance of the people
of the state combined. We shall think
more of the senator if he will face is
sues squarely and tell the whole una
dulterated truth.

MONUMENT TO THE CATAwBAs.

MONUMENT TO THE CATAWBAS.
hThe Fort Mill correspondent of the
Columbia State gives the following ac-
count of the unveiling of the Catawba
Indian monument at that place last
Tuesday
For the fourth time in the history of
Fort Mill, the citizens have assembled
for the purpose of unveiling monu-
ment. The first to the Confederate
Soldier, on December 22d, 1891 ; the
second, to the Women of the South,
on the 21st day of May, 1895, when
Colonel J. P. Thomas, of Columbia,
delivered a scholarly address the
third, to the Faithful Slaves of the
South, unveiled on the 21st day of May,
1895, when Colonel Polk Miller de-
livered characteristic address. To-
day, ia the presence of a large crowd,
consisting of a number of Indians and
many citizens of surrounding commu-
nifty, the monument to the Indians was
!!open for inspection. And Ben Harris,
IA son of John Harris, one of the bray
est members of the Twelfth South
Carolina, delivered the speech. This
speech was written by himself, and is
d specimen of what an Indian can do.
| The Indians we're given a fine din
ner and deported themselves well.
The exercises opened with prayer at
II o'clock. The Introductory speech,
giving a history and reason for the
monument, was delivered by the Rev.
J. H. Thornwell. Ben Harris, son of
Confederate veteran, then spoke. He
said love was the greatest thing in the
world illustrated the love of God in
creation and providence. While other
things fail love lasts until the millen-
MUM. Mortals attain much in life by
love. Paul says completion only be-
yond where ear not hear nor eye not
see. Love makes the Indian a friend
of the white man. The Catawbas
never took part against him, but help
ed him in life, in all wars-in the Rev.
olution and they sent 20 braves to
the Confederate war.
"Love prompted White and spratt
to build monument to the Confeder-
ate Indians. Much thank them good
men. Indian love them. If white
man had done Indian justice like White
and Spratt good many of them would
have been educated and able to make
good speech
"He declined to speak at first, but
wanted to express thanks for monu-
ment. Was glad Indian is now get.
ting education. Fifty years from now,
|if wanted, Catawba he make good
speech as white man. Much thank to
people for love shown us. My fore
fathers show love by fighting and give
life; I show love try to make speech.
All Indians grateful. Long remember
this day."
Billy Harris spoke as follows:
"Thauk ladies for much big trouble
done been take to give Indians good
dinner. Catawbas never fight against
white man but once since creation
never fight no more against him. Wish
to thank everybody for all kindness.

hing over $4,000, a part of which is

thing over $4,000, part of which is
secured by mortgage on the Sutro
mill buildings, and part of which is
unsecured. Upon analysis of the sit
uation, Mr.. Ashe calculated that bank
ruptcy or receivership proceedings
would mean the stoppage of the mill
and the ultimate sacrifice of the prop
erty at less than half of its actual
value, while with continued operation
there was reasonable certainty of an
income sufficient to ultimately pay the
debt, and these conditions were made
the basis of bis proposed plan of oper.
tions.
In brief, the proposition of Messrs.
Asbe and Grimes is this: "Let all the
creditors, secured and unsecured alike,
agree to stay of their claims and
turn the property over to us. Well
leave it in the name of McClain, and
will operate it without compensation
for ourselves, and turn over the profits
to the creditors in annual payments,
with interest at the rate of 6 per cent.
We will expect to keep the property
seven years, if so long time be neces-
sary, receiving salaries not exceeding
81, 200 for both of US, after four years.
If it should develop that the mill can
not be operated at profit, will have
the right to hand it back to creditors
forthwith, and if there should develop
in the meantime any arrangement
whereby the debt can be liquidated
more quickly, we shall not stand in the
way. We will furnish all the working
capital that may be necessary, and we
will allow a committee of creditors
free access to the business at all times"
Several of the large creditors north,
whose claims are amply secured, have
agreed to this arrangement without
the least hesitation, and If there are
no legal complications in the way,
there is every reason to believe that
the bank claim will also be included in
the arrangement. There are some
heavy local creditors who still have
the matter under advisement, and who
will accept unless some new develop
ment should make it appear that their
claim can be better secured through
some still more satisfactory plan.
The advantages of the Ashe- Grimes
proposition to all concerned is clear.
Ifit should develop that the mill can
not earn profit under such manage:
ment, then the creditors will not be
any worse off than they are now. If,
on the other hand, it should develop
that good profits can be earned, and
neither Mr.. Ashe or Mr.. Grimes has
the slightest doubt, it will be only
a short time before the entire debt
of the mill can be covered by good
bankable papers, giving all the credi-
tors all of their money in cash long
before the seven years named in the
proposition.

BREAD vs., STONE.

BREAD vs.. STONE.
Senator Tillman's speech in York
Vile last Saturday was quite enter
tanning upon the wholes but when the
senator sought to explain the origin
ofthe dispensary he appeared at dis
advantage.
In connection with his own record
as q Democrat, who believes in sub.
mission to the will of the majority,
Col. Hoyt's charge as to the establish
ment of the dispensary in direct op-
position to the expressed will of the
people, was hard shot. In his at
tempt to explain, it must be confessed
that Senator Tillman foundered con-
siderably.
"Why," says the senator, chow
could I establish the dispensary. 1
did not do it. The legislature did it,"
Then he went on to confess, with
boasting pride: II persuaded 'em."
The senator is not to be blamed much
for that. Theoretically the legislature
did it; but it was only theoretically.
He knows that, and had he not vir-
tually admitted the fact, his first state
ment would have been cowardly. But
his justification does not justify. 81
did it to keep you from making jack
asses of yourselves" This is not good
Democracy. 1t is not democracy at
all. 1t is Imperialism. The majority
has right to do what it pleases, and
Senator Tillman nor no other man has
the right to prevent, for any purpose
whatever. Colonel Hoyt, as chair
man of the Democratic executive com.
mittee, may have thought the people
were making jackasses of themselves
in electing Tillman; but whether he
thought this or not, he certainly did
not approve. However he did not
seek to stand in the way of the ex-
pressed will Of the people and that is
why he surrendered the state chair
manship to the Reform party.
But back to Senator Tillman. "a
majority of the people of the state
never voted for prohibition. There was
only $4,000 against $4,000 with some
thirty odd thousand not voting at ALL"
The figures are correct; but the con-
clusion is too thin. Senator Tillman
himself would not endorse it except as
hook winking campaign talk. From
no standpoint is it honest. Every
man who participated in the election
had the option of voting on prohibi-
ton if he chose, and those who neg
lected to vote acquiesced in leaving
the question to the people who were
interested. The majority for prohi-
bition, therefore, is as binding as if
every voter in the state had cast his
ballot that way.
So it cannot be claimed that the
people of the state have ever endorsed
the dispensary. They have not. The
charge that Senator Tillman gave a
stone when asked for bread is true !;
and it is also true that according to
the record, Senator Tillman's loyalty
to the will of the majority is not nearly
as great as is that of Colonel Hoyt.
