WEDIESDIY, MY 17 189. E. LBRT H. AULL, EDIToL IET1BERT H. AULL, ( Proprietors. WM.P. HOUSEAL, NEWBERRY, S. C, WATER. The little town of Yorkville voted $16,000 of town bonds the other day to establish a system of water works for the town. It was a wise step, but it has only been a short time since the town had a bitter experience in the shape of a big fire. The town has a population of only about 1,600 people. There were only seven votes against the tax. Wonder what the people of New berry would say to a proposition to establish water works here? They are needed, but we opine that if there were an immediate prospect of voting any more tax some people would get the nightmare. Some people, no doubt, expect to carry some of their little dol lar with them to the other world. This town needs a stirring up and a good shaking, so as to get the scales from the eyes. ' We have a good fire department now, but it would be helpless at a fire without water. True, if we can always -manage to have the fires near one of the holes we have in the ground, and it happens to .haye plenty of water in it, the de partment may be able to do good ser vice; but it is impossible to regulate these things. We can't tell where the fire is going to be, nor when it will come., We need to go to work and establish a good system of water works for the town. The Herald and News would be glad to have expressions of opinion on this subject. Let us hear from the kickers as well as frow those who want to be on the side of progress. The Herald and News was the first to agitate the question of Graded Schools for Newberry several years before they were established. At first it fell flat, and some people hooted at the idea. 'After awhile they came. The Herald and News was forgotten and given no credit for its efforts, but we were satisfi-A to see that the work was accompi.ued, even though we were counted out. The men who bear the heat and'brunt of the battle are seldom counted for much after the smoke of the battle has cleared away and everybody is in the flush of vic tory. But The Herald and News wants to see the town keep pace with the march of progress; but we cannot be more than we make ourselves. If old fogies and grumblers and kick ers and back ideas are to rule the baili wick, we had better find it out-and the sooner the better. If we are to keep pace with the rest of mankind and move forward, we had better start -and the sooner the better. A town the size of Newberry, and with the commercial advantages and ~---hecapital of one of the best counties in the State, should long ago have had some of the modern conveniences and improvements. We cannot now recall another town in the State, of the size and importance of Newberry, that is without water works and a system of electric lights. The Herald and News has labored, and labored hard, for Newberry; and in many respects it has been a labor of love, and, we might almost say, of love's labor lost. But on this subject of water we will be glad to hear from the kickers. Let's settle them first, and then we will be in shape to do something and move forward. There is talk of the reformers putting up Gov. Tillman next year as the can didate for Governor for a third term andin this respect, too, breaking the record. Well, there is no serious objectien to that. In fact it seems to us that 4he present administration will have to have several terms yet to carry out the reform ideas"of the reform movement. The two teris, which will close next year will have been spent mostly in litigation with no results of any benefit to the people. And it should be understood if Gov. Tillman is re-elected for a third term that he must not take advantage of his position to have himself elected United States Senator, but he must remain at his post in the executive chair to carry out and put into active operation for the benefit of the people the reform ideas, whatever they are, or may be. It may be that his services will be needed for a fourth,' or even a fifth term. When we get a good thing we ought to hold fast to it. This is a seri ous and an important matter and should not be trified with. There' are no others among the reformers who want office, and it would be a difficult matter to get a man who could carry forward to a successful termination these zetform ideas. The Utopia people are going to vote an additional tax for school purposes. That is right. We need more schools, or rather longer terms for the present schools. "Education is thbe hope of our country." The common schools are the ones that need the money. We want and need these within reach (f all the chil dren. Ot-ber scol districts will soon fol low. The County Executive Committee is called to mueet at New berry on Satur day the 3rd day of June, to devise some means for holding the primai-y for the - nomination of a Senator to succeed the Hon. J. A. Sligh, resigned. 'hat is the same day that the caucus meets, but that will not interfere with the work of the committee. The call is published in another col umn. We were of the opinion that Mr. Blease had changed his residence, but possibly he has not, and in either event, we suppose, he can call the com mnittee together: The remains of President Jefferson Davis will be removed from New Or leans and interred in Richmond, Va., the last of this month. 4~*.-~* .:-'~.-. - - - - - TOWN ROPERTY A D .TATE TAXA TION. The opinion of Mr. Buchanan, in regard to the taxation of town property for State purposes, does not affect New berry, for the town has been paying on its property for a great many years, and in fact, we presume ever since it owned any property. The opinion seems to us to be correct and has been the law for a long time. Newberry pays on about $10,000 worth of property which includes the person alty and the opera house building. Under the statutes the market house and fire department is exempt from taxation. If the-opera house was used exclusively for public purposes and without charge it would not be subject to taxation. This property is liable to taxation under the laws of the State and should be on the tax books ao long as the laws stand as they are. Lieut.-Governor Gary has ordered an election for Senator from this county on Tuesday, July 18. This is the date for the election which will be merely a matter of form. The primary is the thing around which the interest will centre. The date and arrangements for that will be in the hands of the Exec utive Committee. Our ,Cunty Chairman has become a citizen of Anderson. Whose business it will be call to the committee together we do not know, but suppose they will be able to get together some way and the arrangements can be made for the nomination of a candidate. It is only two months now until the election, and it is getting time that arrange ments were being made for the pri mary. The Supreme Court of the United States has rendered a decision on the act of Congress providing for the ex clusion of the Chinese in which it is held that the act is constitutional. So the Chinese must stay away from us. LYNCHINGS. Lynchings are becoming quite fre quent. It is strange that these people will go on committing this same crime when they must know that it means sure and speedy death. The lynching of Peterson in Barnwell was followed by lynchings in Williamsburg, Lau rens and Kershaw. The negroes have been holding meet ings and passing resolutions looking to the suppression of lynch law. Lynch law is never justifiable, but for certain crimes it is as sure to follow as the perpetrator is captured, and he usually is. It seems to be the unwrit ten law and is so everywhere. Let *hite and black all remember this, for this unwritten law is no respector of persons. The Greenville News has a bit of good advice to the colored people on this subject, and we append it here: Teach your people that the rope awaits any man guilty of one crime outrage or ettempted outrage. That is unwritten law, better observed than the written. Your condition is in your hands and it must depend on yourselves to better it. Any well behaved, industrious colored man can make his way, even to independent wealth. This advice followed and there will be a stop to lynch law. The speedy hanging of any man is just as sure to follow the commission of the crime for which these negroes have been lynched as night follows day, and the colored people should remember that it is no respector of persons. The white man, or the red man, or the black man who commits the crime for which these negroes were hung will meet the same fate, and his color has nothing to do with it.. The county campaign will not open until after the 3d of June, and will then be short and sweet. Until that time the reformers will not know for whom they will be permitted to vote. Everything in this day of political lib erty and freedom has to be decided by the caueus which is generally run and managed by the leaders. It is virtually saying that the people are incompetent to cast their votes as they should and that matter has to be decided by the caucus. But then it is all right and proper for you know it is reform. It is just as well, however, and possi bly better to have a short campaign. The editor of the Herald and News is still on the sick list and while up most of the time is not able to attend to his duties as he should. He hopes to be himself again soon. The Supreme Court has not yet de eded the whiskey cases that were brought before it from Chester. The report to that effeet in the News and Courier on Monday was a mistake. The official plums continue to drop from Washington, but none seem to fall in the apron of South Carolina. W,e do not seem to hold the strings just exactly right. The State Supreme Court has deci dd again that our new issue of State bonds are good and valid. That ought to settle the question, and we hope' will. It is just such a decision as was ex pected. The town of Aiken is establishinig a system of water works. They hav'e dug an artesian well. New berry wll have to wake up. A t one time we were the third town in the State. The Herald and News would not like to say where we will be it we do not soon begin to move. It is revenue plain and simple that the friends of the dispensary law are looking after. The moral question does not enter. Prohibitionists who favor this law should never more talk about the evils of the whiskey traffic and the beauties of prohibition. The business men of Columbia have realized the importance of getting to gether and working for the general good. They have called a meeting to take in consideration the advancement of the city and surrounding country. In concentration of effort there is power. No man can live altogether to himself, and any town, in which you cannot get concentrated effort for the general good, is bound to lag behind in this age of progress. GOVERNOR TILLMXAN AND SOLT (;TOR to JE1VEY. . In the correspondence between Gov. r Tillman and Solicitor Jervey, in regard to the prosecution of the Denmark lynchers, nothing has been done. It looks like an effort to play at a very serious matter. Governor Till- a man hardly expected Solicitor Jervey t to bring the prosecution, but saw, as he 0 thought, an opportunity to get even I e with him for his speech at the Colum- t bia mass meeting. t He cited, as a precedent for his ac C tion, the order of Gov. Jeter in order- f ing Solicitor Cothran to go to Edgefield to assist Solicitor Bonham in a case in r which the defendants were relatives of C Mr. Bonham. That precedent, it seems to us, is in r favor of Mr. Jervey's view of the law. I Mr. Jervey says he ir willing to go to Barnwell and assist the solicitor of the circuit, or take ebarge*of the prosecu- ] tion, provided the resident solicitor I will institute proceedings, but he does not think it would be lawful for him to go over there and start the cases from the beginning. r In the Edgefield case, cited by the a Governor, Solicitor Bonham drew the a indictments and- summoned the wit nesses and then turned the ,case over t to Solicitor Cothran. If the Governor is serious a6out this matter let him have Solicitor Bellinger draw the indictments and have the case star'ed, and if it turns out that some of his relatives are defendants he can turn the case over to Mr. Jervey, as was done S in the Edgefield cases. t This is too serious a matter to trifle S with even though it furnish the Gov ernor an opportunity to show his abil- . ity at sarcasm. t Prosecutions would amount to noth- 3 ing and would be a useless expense and i trouble, but if the Governor wants the s matter investigated, the way is clear. The Columbia Carnival begins to-day. ( It is a pleasant season to visit the Cap- c ital city. I NOT EXEMPT. p 0 t Cities and Towns Have to Pay Taxes on a Certain Classes of Their Prope,ty. e n []The State, 4th. I t The Assistant Attorney-General has just rendered a decision which is des tined to overthrow all the systems of taxation wherein the personal property of cities and incorporated towns and r villages is concerned. Heretofore it has been the custom practiced throughout I the State to consider all such property 1 exempt from taxation, and has never t been placed upon the State tax books. Under the decision referred to, however, e all such property will hereafter be charged upan the tax books just as in the case of personal property of any t individual. Such a move will mean a great deal t to such cities as Charleston, Greenville V and Col,imbia, and, in fact, all of the . towns of the State. The cities quoted ~ each have a very large amount of per sonal property, especially Columbia and Charleston, and the collection of taxes e thereon falling, of it does, unexpected- t ly, will seriously affect their finances. g From what- can be ascertained the ~ Comptroller-General intends to have all this class of property in the State put upon the books. The following letter has caused the t decision to be rendered: ANDERSON, S. C., April 18, 1893. I Gen W. H. Ellerbe, Columbia, S. C: r -Dear Sir-The city of Anderson has ') some stock, wagons, carts and other i personal property amounting to some s $1,000. is t.he property not liable to 2 taxation? The city council claim that tt is not liable, and I think it is. Please I answer at once and favor, Your obedi- 3 ent servant, G. N. C. BOLEMAN, A. A. C. The letter was referred to the Attor ney-General's office, and here is the ~ opinion rendered yesterday: t CoLUMBIA, S. C., May 13, 1892. ~ Hon. W. H. Ellerbe, Comptroller-Gen- ~ eral of South Carolina. Dear Sir:-Your reference of Mr. G. ~ N. C. Bollman's letter received, in ~ which is brought up the question of the liability to State taxation of "certain stek, wagons, carts and other personal ~ property of the city of Anderson." It , is contended that insamuch as such ~ property belongs to a municipal cor poration it is not liable. Such property c would only be exempt under an ex- t pressed or an implied exemption by ,~ virtue of its governmental functions ~ being a part of government, it is not . contended that it is exempted by any t expressed provision but by imnplica tion. This rule is not inconsistent with t an expressed provision, requiring all real and personal property shall be sub- C ject to tax .tion!, except certain subjects ~ therein en,umerated, in which said enumeration is specified1 affirm-.tively , the property exemnpted and among ,. those eLumera4ted does~ not appear the subjects claimed to *e exemwpt, although I the genera! e~x-mptionI of certain named municipal proper i's the~reiun specified, do appeanr. 1, I .is con;nection1 the well l:uown rule of' co:,rtIto&, that the t express menCiti of one.sries ofenblject.s t is tantamount to a iirect exclusin of all others and e.quivaLenlt to the inser tion of its opposite, draws increased ~ strength and support from the direct and positive injunction that "all real and personal property" shajl be taxed et.

CnicAGo, May 12.-On and after May 21 the World's Fair grounds will be t open every Sunday. Tlhis desision was reached at a meeting of the directors of the Esposition this afternoon. Presi Higginbotham had called upon Ed win Walker. who is chairman of the com mittee on lt.rislation, to submit an opinion whether or not the Exposition can be op,en on Sunday in spite of the. restriction placed upon this feature by 1 Congress when the appropriation of 2 $2,.500,000O was granted. 2 Mr. Walker presented his official and I legal interpretation before the directors, ( which is to the effect that the law passed by Congress stipulating that thbe Exposition should be closed on Sunday ( applies only to the building containing - exhiitsk Mr. Walker's construction of I the Act further says that the buildings< erected for other uses, the grounds, tbe idway plaisance, with its varied hu- 2 man panorama and things pertaining thereto, may be thrown open to public inspection. A fter considerable discussion a reso lution was proposed to open the gates every Sunday on and after May 21, and to close the main buildings containing the exhibits. The resolution was car- 1 red by a vote of 22 to '7. Of the seven< who voted nay, six were in favor of opening the Fair in every department, and the seventh was opposed to open ing the gates under any consideration. Thus, upon the technicality named,~ the Columbian Fair will be to all in tents and purposes open, leaving the' public to visit throughout the grounds, to ride on the electric launches, to en- I joy the novelty of the Venetian gondo las, to patronize any of the booths, th va4edA attrnacins of th hainene and have a good finie generally. The rice of admission on Sunday will be educed to 25 cents. THE FAIR GATES CLOSED. [Special to New York Press.1 CHIcAGo, May 14.-Forty thousand s eople went down to the World's Fair irounds to-day, but they did not gain dn;ission. From 10 a. m. until 5 p. m. here was an almost continuous stream f wanderers passing down Stony Is md avenue and along the whole west rn extent of the Fair Grounds. Then P bere was a line of buggies, carriages, c( illy-ho coaches and other rigs, which ontained people who desired to have glimpse of the Fair buildings over the _ mnce. Buffalo Bill's Show near the grounds saped a rich harvest. Every seat was ccupied and it is estimated that the lace contains accommodation for18,000 s eo.ple. Prince Roland Bonaparte and a umber of friends drove down to the air but stopped at the show. Thou- e inds turned from the Fair gates to the fake" shows and merry go rounds and P btained a: little Irecreation that way. ;very falir flourished while the Fair Lnguished. TROUBLE AT THE GATES. At the gates there was considerable iore trouble than on the previous unday with those who claimed the ight to enter. The order forbidding dmission to exhibitors and workmen fter 1 o'clock had been made public so se Lte that many of these people were not N ware of it, and in consequence arrived C, yo late. o1 THE SOUTHERN BAPTISTS. roceedings of the Great Conventia in Nashville. NASHVILLE, Tean., May 12-The outhern Baptist Convention met in bis city this morning. Several thou ind people are in attendance repre- 1 Inting fifteen States.

The most 8 ncouraging reports came from Mary- Ij d, Alabama, Georgia and Texas. n other States fear that this contribu- $ ion would interfere with the regular ntribution accounts for the compara- o1 ively small amounts collected. In this rork the committee desired to express S eartfelt thanks to the Woman's Mis- . ionary Societies and denominational o, apers for valuable assistance rendered. H n order that the collection of the ntire sum, $250,000, may be completed, u be committee suggests that the time r contribution be extended to Febru ry, 1894. THE HOME MISSION WORK.
