Sometime ago the Easley Messenger was sold to the People's Publishing Company and the paper was moved to Pickens Court House an'l called the People's Journal. Easley finds she can't get along without a newspaper, so the Easley Democrat has been issued with Maj. D. F. Bradley as edi tor. He is an experienced newspaper man and will make the Democrat a live and good newspaper. Rev. Sam Jones got in a fight with the Mayor of Palestine, Texas, last week, and his brother Charlie Jones was tried at Cartersville, Ga., for kill ing a negro several months ago. Both came out of their difficulties without any fatality, except that they were born to "get there." Gov. Tillman, who has been con fined to his room with a severe attack of the "grippe," has so far recovered as to be able to go to his office.

Unti Febraary 18 Only Fifteen per Cent. Penalty will Attach to Taxes not [Special to News and Courier.] COLUMBTA, Feb. 6.-An opinion of importance to all the tax payers in the tstes riled to-night by Chief Clerk Norton in the ottice of the comptroller general, who asked the judgment of A ssistaut Attorney General Townsend iu the premises. The importance of the opinion will be estimated when it is understood that a great effort is now bei og made to collect delinquent taxes. The following is the document: "To the Hou. W. H. Elerbe, comp troller general-Sir: In your communi ation of this date addressed to the attorney general, you say: "The legislature of 1889 fixed the time for the collection of the taxes for the fiscal year 1889-lhl from the 15th of Decemt>er, 1S901, to the 2nd of January, 1i91 fo r collection, with 15 per cent. enaltyv. The legislature of 1890 extend ed te etimie for the collection of taxes for the riscal year 1889-90O to the 1st of February, 1891, without penalty. What efect does the act of 1890 have on that of 1889 as to the eighteen days allowed for the collection of taxes with 15 per eet, penalty? Does the act of 1890 ex tend this time to the 18thi of February, "In answver to this inquiry I have the honor to say to you that while the Ac o t1) extends the time for the colection of taxes without penally to th sto February, 1891, it does not expressly, or in my opinion, impliedly repeal thle penalty clause to which vou alude in the Act of 1889. Therefore, construing the two Acts together, con ch:de that atter the 1st of February, 191, there was still a period of eighteen days allowed for the collection of taxes with the penalty of 15 per cent. added before lands could be treated as delin qucnt for non-payment of taxes there "D. A. T~AwNSExN, "Asistant Attorney General." Mr. Norton accordingly has prepared the following circular signed by Comup troler General Ellerbe. "County treasurers will collect the taxes for~the fiscal year 1889-90 until he 1ftee day of February, 1891, with heifenper cent penalty added, and then proceed to issue executions as requ,red.b lawt againsi al1 delinnns. FROM THE WEST. A Descendant of the Scotch-Itish Settlers of Newberry Has a Pleasant Word for the State. POMARIA, February 7, 1891. To the Editor of the Herald and News :-I enclose a letter from Mr. D. C. Kyle, Washington, Iowa, which I will thank you to publish in your paper. During the month of December past I received a letter from Mr. Kyle, ad dressed to the Secretary of our Society, asking for certain information respect ing the resources of our State. I knew of no better way to comply with his re quest than by asking Col. Butler, then Commissioner of Agriculture of the State, to send to Mr. Kyle a copy of the "Hand-book" of 726 pages, prepared with great care and published by the late Board of Agriculture. This book and some subsequent pub lications were sent to Mr. Kyle, as well as the last publication of 160 pages of the "Transactions" of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society. After the receipt of these publications Mr. Kyle replied in acknowledgement in the letter enclosed. I am the more pleased to present this letter through our county papers, from the fact that Mr. Kyle's mother is a native of our county, whose relatives may have lost sight of this relative at least in the far West. It occurs to me that with some effort on the part of the State otficials, as well as by personal endeavor, much good might be accomplished in turning the tide of immigration westward to our sunny clime, and induce those who are already in the West to leave a vigorous climate and come southward, where farming is more remunerative to the agriculturist if properly pur sued, with industry and economy prac ticed. I started out merely to enclose the letter, but I find myself occupying too much space. Yours very truly, THOS. W. HOLLOWAY. - THE LETrER. WASHINGTON, IoWA, Jan. 10, '91. Mr. Thos. V. Holloway, Sec. Agr. Society, Pomaria, Newberry Co., S. C.: Dear Sir:-Your esteemed favor of 31st December received, also three printed public documents as per re quest, for which I am very much obliged, as you have exceeded my r4 quest. I have read some in the large one descriptive of the conditiou and resources of South Carolina with a great deal of interest. It seems to have been prepared with a great deal of care, and is pretty full and exhaustive on the subject. I do not know when I have seen a sketch of any other State so well pre pared as this one at hand. You people down there have much greater matters to settle and work out, socially and politically, than we have up here, where our populations are more homogenous; but you are doing well, and we all wish you success in your efforts, unless it may be some of our meaner sort of politicians who, for their political aims, desire to report strife in the Southern States. But they are few, and from the late political avalanche appear to be growing beauti fully less. It seems now that the Democratic party is the only national party, unless the agricultural movement shallassume national proportional size and impor tance. Anything for me but the sec tionalism of the present Republican party, which is also purely local in its economic legislation. I thank you for forwarding my letter to Mr. E. P. Chalmers, of Newberry C. H. Perhaps I may hear from him. If so, I can easily identify myself with the tribe of Scotch-Irish Chalmerses, who came over from Ireland about 1796, and settled in Newberry District, S. C. I had three full cousins, Sims, Edward and James Chalmers, in the Confederate service, sons of Thomas Chalmers, my mother's brother. I believe they now reside at Holly Springs, Miss. With many thanks for your kind ness and indulgence, I remain at your service, very truly, D. C. KYLE. T HAT CLAIM OF $36s,000. Attorney General Pope Has Gone to Newl York to see About It. [Special to News and Courier.) CoLD3IBIA, February 9.-At the last session of the Legislature ajoint resolu tion was passed authorizing the Attor ney General to investigate the claims of E. B. Wesley and the Bank of North America against this State in Blue Ridge scrip controversy. The claim is for about $368,000, which a great many people thought had been settled by law long ago. Upon the adjournment of the Legislature Mr. Philbrook, representi ng the claimants, came here and had a conference with the Attorney General and Governor Tillman, at which they promised a thor-ough investigation of the claims and a report to the Legisla ture on the merits of the case. Under the resolution Attorney Gene ral Pope has assumed charge of the inquiry and will go to New York to morrow night to begin the proceedings. Mr. Pope has already written the claim ants a letter in which he defines his position and lays down the lines on which the investigation is to proceed. The Attorney Gen&ral said to-night that he would hear all the testimony that could be offered in New York, that he would employ there a stenographer and make a full report of that side of the case before his return. He will then complete the report by taking testi mony and collecting all documents in this State bearing on the claims. Mr. Pope says that he will insist on having a clear statement from the claimants of the motive they had in their original investment in these securities. THE REFORMERS AT WORK. A Convention of the Third Party Alliance Politicians to be Held in Cincinnati on May 19. TOPEKA, Kas, February 7.-W. F'. Rightmeyer, whbo was chosen secretary of the National Citizens' Industrial Alliance, has issued a call for a national conference of reformers, to meet in Cincinnati on May 19, 1891, to adopt a platform and make such arrange uents for the conflict of 189i2 as the conference may deem fitting. Representation is limited to the national and State olli cers of each Alliance, assembly and association, ten delegates from each county or district organization of suc-h bodies and editors and business mnta gers of each reform paper beloning- to the Reform Press Association. TI'his call is in direct opposition to the wishes of J. D. H-olden, of Emiporia, president of the National Citizens' Alliance, formed at Ocala, Fla. The call for thbe convention to organ ize the Trhird Party combines all of the alleged reform movements now before the people. There is a disposition to ignore President! Holden altogether. The Kansas contingent of the Citizens' Alliances do not recognize Holden as president of the organization, although the Ocala Convention elected hinm to that position. Groom, 84; Bride, 97.

He is the same man who was in a ,erious cutting allray at Spartanburg sonic time ago, in wiich a mau named Pateet was cut all to pieces. Major Williams was the son-ia-law of Judge H udson, and was a well-knuown member of the Greenville Bar. He had represented this county in the Logisla ture, and was proinivent iu military circles. He was a Royal Arch Mason and a Knight of Pythias. The tragedy wae an awful shock to the community, and thousands of the (lead man's friends all over the State will receive the news with sadness. The coroner's inquest was held to day, and the verdict of the jury was that the murder was feloni ous. F. MI. Sininous was arrested to night as an accessory after h he fact. lie is charged with aiding the murderer to escape, but denies the charge. He will probably furnish bond. S::ETCII OF MAJOR WILLIA MS.

He attended school here and was also a student at the military schools at Yorkville and Charlotte, N. C. lie afterward studied Jaw with the late James P. Moore and attended the Co lumbia Law School at Washington. He was admitted to the bar when very young and began the practice of his profession here, being unusually sue cessful for a young man. His military training made hun prominent in military circles and tie commanded the Butler Guards at the Yorkville centennial and was for a long time first lieutenant of the company. He was captain of theGreenville U cards for a time. In public life he had a promising future before him.

Chief of Police Kennedy, though rel atives of M1ajor Williams, has ollered a reward of $20{ for the delivery to him of J. B. Williams. A description of Williams accompanies the rewVardl.

Williams, have offered a reward of 8600 for the arrest of tlhe murderer, and Governor Tillmian has been requiested to offer as large a re ward as possible. Thle two rewar'ds will probably aggregate $800 or 8,00, and it is believed will result in the capture of the fugtive, who is su pposed to be hiding in the North Carolina mountains. The funeral services of Major Wil liams were held in Washington Street Presbyterian Church to-day, and were attended by a large concourse of frienads. The remains were interred im Christ Church Cemetery. w. w. P'. IS IT A HIT AT THE THID[ P'ARTY. Cleveland Caations the Ohio Dcmocracy Against Following False Lighmts and Unsafe P'aths.
