ELBERT EL AULL, EDITOR. :ELBERT H. AULL, ,ropiietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL, ie NEWBERRY. S. C, THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1889. In his foreign appointments Pres dent Harrispn has been very mindfi of the editors. The following show how they have been remembered: Mr. Whitelaw Reid, of the Nei York Tribune, Minister to France, Mi John C. New, of the Indianapoli -' Journal, as Consul General at Londor Mr. Thorndyke Rice, of the Nort: + American Review, as Minister to Si Petersburg, Mr. John Hicks of th Oshkosh Northwestern, Minister t Peru, and Mr. Murat Holstead of th incinnati Commercial Gazette, Mini; ter to Berlin. The Greenville News of recent dat spoke what it termed some plain word to Greenville. There is much trnth~i; what our cotemporary says. and it i well said, and it might be well fo Newberry to ponder the truths thereii contained, hence we desire to giv o~min'nce to the article. Afte . speaking of what- some other town have done the article says: "Everybody is standing back waitin; for somebody else to move. Every not and then a few energetic men star something and go to work, and the; ind cold water dashed into their face at every corner until they are chille ito paralysis. "That kind of thing will not do. I we are to build a city here and keep i moving we must move. Talk will no doanything and neither will mone; locked in the banks and waiting fo six per cent. bonds at par, or eight pe cent. mortgages on real estate. 1Neithe will we accomplish- any results b abusing rich men because they do nc rush forward to assume every burde or waiting for Northern capital t come in and do our work for us. "We need to pull together and wor together, high and low, rich and poo: to encourage the home manufacture we have, to do what we can to brin others here by personal effort, libern -treatment and giving what financh &; aid we can. "No-town can stand still. We mus move one way or the other. If we d notgo forward we will surEy begin t go backward, and when we do begi that, there will be a falling in ref estate and rents which will make t sick. The torpor of self-satisfaction as bad as the torpor of despair. Tb men who said a few years ago "Greer ville is done" did no more harm tha the men do who say now "Greenvil] is all right" while doing nothing I keep her all right. "We have room and need here for dozen smaller manufacturing ente prises, every one of which could be of S g".anized and put to work with a tot capital,of $.50,000. They would ad probably $150,000 a year to the trade< the city and a thousand good people I the population. ."We ought to start some of them we propose to keep up with the pr< eeesion." The Seniate has refused to confiri the appoint'ment of Mr. Halstead. XX cannot say that we have any specia admiration for Mr. Halstead, but if h ~'nomination is rejected because he mai himself personally unpleasant to sonr Senators it seemns to us a small reaso tor-his~rejection.

(; - Di Harrison to Take Care of the Carolina at Independents. th -- Pi [Special to the pews and Courier.1 in GREENvILLE, March 29.-It appears nl that open war upon the alleged Inde- in pendent party in .this State is to be b waged by the straightout Republicans in on the line of Canary Miller's recent A] trumpet call to arms. M. H. Bryce, the d somewhat conspicuous Oconee County a Republican, reached here to-day on his way from Washington, and issued a sei call for a mass meeting of straightout a Republicans, to be heid at Walhalla, on ca , Monday; for the purpose of denouncing T s the so-called Independents and appeal- T ing to President Harrison not to recog- an nize thera in the distribution of Federal 4 pap in the State. en Bryce gives out a statement that g President Harrison intimated but a day s or two ago to a party of South Carolina , Republicans whom he was hearing on z the subject of State appointments that vI' he proposed to take care of the Inde- sh pendents in the distribution of places in In South Carolina. It seems that the Bryce, a,, ? Brayton and Tolbert crowd have taken ti< e fright at this and are seeking to bring E condemnation upon the Independents. lF A PARTIAL CONFIRMATION OF THE H GREENVILLE STORY. w] 3 WASHINGTON, March 29.-C.
