more of the Bible, even as a body of

Indeed, he has been at some pains to
point out that the ethics of ihe Bible
is false and bad in many respects; that j
it sanctions slavery and polygamy, and i
other things that are immoral in them- j
selves. His rejection of the Bible as ;

as complete as that of Herbert Spen- j

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher thus
speaks of President Cleveland and his
course in the administration of the

The Tammany braves are not satisfied
with the treatment they have received
from the Administration, and
wear vengeance unless they arc given

says:
Ha<*h Graut, Tammany's defeated
candidate for the New York mayoralty,
is here at the head of a delegation of
brave?, bent on one more effort to induce
Mr. Cleveland to do something
for those who worked for him in the
campaign in the metropolis, They
propose that Mr. Cleveland shall call
the leaders of the various Democratic
j factions in New York together, and
1 see if some basis cannot he agreed on
j for the settlement of the question of
I the distribution of New York city
patronage. They talk very plainly.
They declare that Mr. Cleveland has
the future of the Sfate and of the Democratic
party in his hands, and that
they are waiting to see what he will
do." ?They hope he will make au effort
j to unite the factions, but they fear that
he may continue to snub Tammany, as
he has been doing, and they make no
[ secret of the fact that if he refuses to
give them any recognition whatever,
they shall not hesitate to take a suitable
revenge.
The Newberry Observer says, in
connection with the State Convention
of 1884, that there "was an understanding",
that there should be a clean
sweep of the incumbent State officers
in 1886. The trouble about the Convention
in 1884 was that, as to the
nomination? "or State officers, the body
acted without any "understanding" at
all. The action was, as we believe, in
clear opposition to the will of the
Democratic party?not as to the persons
nominated* but as to the time of
action. The manner of nomination?
the whole ticket by one acclamationwas
unjust to the nominees, as it was
improper on every ground.. The nominees
themselves must surely have had
nothing to do with the manner of their
nomination. However this may be,
shonld they or any of them offer before
the next Convention, they should
have the benefit of a judgment on their
merits, without reference to the pecu
liar mode of their nomination in 1882.
Whether there is to be a "clean sweep"
remains to be seeu. We hardly think
there will be. South Carolina folks
are not much on a clean sweep of this
kind anyhow; and they are by no
means as ranch distressed abont things
in general as some of the papers would
make appear.
The editor of the Brockton, Mass.,
Uaglc, a Republican paper, has been
spending some time in Florida, and
writes to his paper thns:
It mfcht as well be added that the
average New Englander, if living in
Florida, would not be governed by the
blacks of that locality; for alone, in
my opinion, they are no more capable
of acting as intelligent rulers than arc
the children of a primary school in
New England. And I ^av this as a
Radical Republican. The ballot as yet
in Florida has not, in my opinion,
benefited the negro.
Within the past few years there has
been a marked flange of sentiment in
the North on the subject of negro
suffrage, and if it were left to the decision
of that section there is not the
slightest doubt that negro suffrage
would be abolished altogether, or be so
re&iriuieu M tu siuiuuuL tu ju^nuai
abolition. fto set of men were ever
more disappointed in their calculations
than the Republican originators of the
negro suffrage scheme were. They
calculated upon it as the sure means
of bringing the South over to and
keeping her in the Republican party,
and for a brief period, through the
disfranchisement of white men aud the
aid of Federal bayonets, it succeeded,
but in the end it failed, and instead of
being a means of crippling and holding
the South in subjection it became the
means of strengthening her power.
This is where the shoe pinches now,
and this is why the average Republican
is no longer an enthusiast upon
the subject of negro suffrage.
Our Short Term Convicts.
The question how the Jabor of oar
criminals who have been sentenced to
serve short terms either hj our county
iails or the State penitentiary can be
atilized, is one of growing importance,
and one which deserves the, c&refal
consideration and attention -of the lawabiding
citizens of the State. "We are
thrown daily in contact with a class of
/.
people whose moral sense has irot been '
cultivated sufficiently to look with
contempt and disgrace upon criminals.
It is a fact, conclusively proved, that it j
is impossible to rid society of crime
altogether. Then since this is true;
the question becomes one of vital importance
io the taxpayers of the State
in what way can we utilize the labor
of convict? who are guilty of minor j
3 - j
offences and consequently sentenced to
short terms in either our jails or peni- j
tentiaries? Under our present law
trial justices are empowered to impuse j
a sentence not exceeding thirty days '
in the county jail in cases of minor |
violations of the law. When we con-1
sider the number of these criminals j
sent to our jail by the different justices !
of the connty, to be fed by the taxpay- j
ers of the connty, while they live iu j
idleness, the important question arises i
cannot we ntilize their labor for the
benefit of the county? Certainly,
when they are kept at an expense to \
the connty, the taxpayers are entitled j
to their labor. A plan can be adopted, j
we thiuk, which will better serve the j
ends of punishment and at the same |
time be beneficial iu improving our i
connty. It is one similar to ones
adopted by.other States, and as. far as
we have been able to learn works satisfactorily,
so we give it for the deliberate
consideration and attention of
the taxpayers of the county. Suppose,
for an illustration, we take a
case?a white man is sentenced to the
jail for the term of thirty days. While
in iail hie hnarrl vvili msf t,hf> tnvnflv
"tw "m" "vvv L'"J
ers thirty cents per day, which would
amount in thirty days, the time the
sentence expires, to^nine dollars. For
this the county receives nothing in
return. The convict is simply held in
confinement, and, in our judgment,
does not feel disgraced when turned
out, and as a matter of fact he has
suffered no punishment. The county
has simply lost nine dollars and the
man is no better than when he was
nrst placed in confinement, wouiuu
not be a benefit, then, if he could be
compelled to earn by labor at least
enough to pay for his work. Some
one has said that you can judge of the
civilization of a people by observing
the condition of the roads. Every
one will agree with U5 when we say
that it is to the interest of every one
that the roads be kept in good repair.
Why not then compel our criminal?,
while serving sentences, to improve
our roads and our streets? It will not
only be a punishment to them, but the
county would save 111 the long run
money by the plan. But can we not
go further? We learn that the superintendent
of the penitentiary has said
that convicts who are sent to the penitentiary
for a less term than one year
are an expense to the State. This
s.1 qcc r\f r*r\n 1/1 bonf of
VAUOO VI Ok llilillUiO VVU1U t/V/ V M>w
home and utilized in the same way,
and an expense saved to the State. It
does seem to us that any fair-minded
man who will give the subject careful
consideration mnst come to the conclusion
that there is room for reform (if
it may be so styled) in the utilization
of the labor of short term convicts.
We would like to hear the subject
discussed, as it appears to us that
something of the kind is necessary,
and we will be glad to hear from any
one on the subject.
THE WHITE OAK ACADEMY.
Messrs. Editors: This flourishing

with a public entertainment of a most
interesting character on Friday, Jane
19f and it will perhaps interest the
readers of The News and Herald to
have a short sketch of the exercises.
The entertainment took place in a
grove of magnificent oaks, whose thick
foliage furnished much-needed protection
from the burning rays of the
noonday sun. The first feature of the
occasion was the contest for a handsome
silver medal, to be awarded the
best speaker.
As the first speaker, Mr. Jas. Boulware
was presented and rendered with
credit to himself an extract from
one of Senator Kill's Congressional
speeches on reconstruction.
Mr. J. A. Heffner, the next speaker,
citKa
ilaCl l/UUovll 1U1 (Jib JL HC J1U1II5
of Time," and with the gestures, graces
and well-trained voice of a polished
orator, thrilled his audience with the
rendition of this most beautiful composition.
II. G. Huey deserves praise for the
way iu which he spoke his piece, "The
South Once More in the Union." '
R. H. Lucas delivered an eulogy on
"Georgia" that would have caused the
breasts of our "goober-grabbing"
brothers across the Savannah to swell
with pride had they heard it.
J. C. Patrick, fifth speaker, had
chosen a selection well calculated to
pat ms powers to a severe test, ana ms
rendition of that most difficult selection,
"The Black Horse and his Rider,"
goes to prove that he had not overrated
his ability.
M. M. Ross won well-merited applause
by his good delivery of one of
JF110. W. Daniel's patriotic compositions,
"The South is Risinsr Up."
M. M. White, the last speaker, had
chosen the old familiar selection, "Sparticus
to the Gladiators," and so well
did he deliver this stirring address that
we almost imagined ourselves a gladiator,
and only realized that we were
not in the gladiatorial business in time
to save our umbrella from comiug in
contact with one of the grave and sober
judges who was weighing the merits of
the different speakers.
Thf? hnirrl nf inderps?fi-piipral .Tnhri
Bratton, Rev. Mr. Mills, and Messrs.
Chas. A. Douglass, \V. L. McDonald,
M. B. McMaster and J. K. Alston?
after mature deliberation, decided that
the medal should be given to Mr. J. A.
Heffner as the best speaker. This
announcement called forth a hearty
round of applause from the audience,
proviug that the decision of the judges
was endorsed by the audience.
Mr. J. C. Patrick was selected for j
special honorable mention, and it is |
not improper'to remark that this is but j
giving him his due. He is deserving I
of highest commendation for the way I
in which he acquitted himself.
The Principal, Mr. J. S. Brice, next ;
introduced Mr. "W. L. McDonald, who j
had consented to deliver the prizes, j
In au eloquent speech he gave words !
of praise to those who had so dis- j
phswpd t.hpir dnfcv ftp ffi win hrsnn;\ihlA i
positions for themselves, and with j
words of encouragement to those who |
had failed in winning position he en-!
deavored to fire the hearts with a
desire for destinctious in the future.

tailed the decisions were not final, and
there would be other opportunities of
redeeming themselves. lie then proceeded
to present the prizes.
Miss Janette Patrick, who not having
misspelled a word since last October,
was awarded the prize on orthography.
Mr. Walter Vinson was awarded the
prize for the best Latin scholar. As
Mr. Vinson was absent attending the
examination for admission to Davidson
College, the prize was turned over to
his father.
Miss Lillian Vinson won the second
prize in Latin.
Air. ai. -vi. >v nice won me prize as
the best essayist. Mr. White also won
a special prize, given by Mr. E. B.
Ragsdale, to any pupil who wonld
translate and correct a difficult Latin
senteuco containing au error.
Mr. J. A. liefl'ner was then presented
with (he handsome medal, given to
the best speaker.
This closed the portion of the exercises
in which the pupils were actors.
The Principal then introduced Mr.
Chas. A. Douglass, who had been invited
to deliver an address to the pupils.
Mr. Douglass expressed his satisfaction
in responding to a call from constituents
who in his hour of need had
responded with such unanimity to his
appeal. He congratulated the Principal
of the academy and the parents of
the scholars upon the display which
had been made. He proceeded then to
point'out the great importance of
giving encouragement to ilie uistrics
schools. He divided bis address under
three heads?the duty of of parents to
themselves, the duty to the children
and the duty to the State. Every
parent should desire to have his child
occupj a more advanced position in
the world than he (the parent) occupied.
This could oulv be done by
allowing the child to utilize the culture
of the parent as a foundation upon
which to build. The world to day is
governed by men of thought and
brains, and education was the instrument
with whicii they work it is a
sacred duty, therefore, to place this
instrument in the hands of their children.
In medieval times he who was
strong of arm, keen of eye and quick
of fence was the leader; this was the
nhvsical aire:1 this nineteenth centurv
is the intellectual age of the world,
when brain power has supplanted
muscular, and success can only be
attained by the man who has all the
resources of a broad and liberal education
at iiis command.. This education
it was the parent's duty to give.
Anglo-Saxon supremacy could only be
maintained by intellectual superiority.
England's power was due entirely to
her educational and intellectual training,
and a nation's wealth could be
measured by the intelligence of its
citizens. The children of-to-day were
the citizens to whose hands the destinies
of the State were to be entrusted
in the future. Parents should see that
this holy charge was not placed in
ignorant hands.
Mr. Douglass then closed by introducing
as the next speaker Dr. John
Boyd, "whose Ciceronian efforts in
the last political campaign had won for
himself such an enviable name as an
orator."
Dr. Boyd, in an earnest, thoughtful
appeal for co-operation and help for
the public school system now in force,
added new laurels to those already
iunii ntul which lip wftftrs so oracefnllv.
Alter Dr. Boyd had finished, we
were invited to a table groaning under
the weight of dainty delicacies and
substantial viands, which attested the
abilities of the housekeepers of the
White Oak section, and entitles thenf
to a place in the front rank of culinary
artists.
Your correspondent, after several
years of experience, had about concluded
that it was impossible to go to
any corner of Fairfield county where
the dismal cry of "hard times" would
not be heard. White Oak is an exception,
and from the cheerful taces of the
farmers and well cultivated crops and
well kept stock one sees in tliis section
he is apt to conclude that hard times
are unknown in this region. If all
sections were populated with such
go-ahead, progressive farmers and
public-spirited citizens, Fairfield, instead
of being "a good county to move
from," would be the garden spot of the
r uue.
Such a scholastic exhibition proves
that all that is needed to make our
public school system a success is the
co-operation -of all cilizens, whether
parents or not. Such a school is a
credit to any neighborhood, and the
young Principal who has made it such
a success deserves all praise and honor.
The trustees have wisely decided to
retain Mr. J. S. Brice as -Principal,
and next fall the White Oak Academy
will be opened under his management,
and the wish is father to the thought
when we predict success to the Academy
in the future. a. t.

AYER'S PILIS.
A large proportion of tie diseases which
cause human suffering result frou derangement
of the stomach, bowels, and liver.
Ayee's Cathaktic Pills act directly npon
these organs, and are especially designed to
cure the diseases caused by their derangement,
including Constipation, Indigestion,
Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery,
and a host of other ailments, for all of
which they are a safe, sore, prompt, and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these
Pills by eminent physicians in regular practice,
shows unmistakably the estimation in
which they are held by the medical profession.
These Pills are compounded of vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
calomel or any other injurious ingredient.
A Sufferer from Headache writes:
"Avek's Pills are invaluable to me^and
are my constant companion. 1 nave oeeu
a severe sufferer from Headaclie, and your
Pills are the only thing I could look to
for relief. One dose will quickly move my
bowels and free my head from pain. They
are the most effective and the easiest physic
I have ever found. It is a pleasure to me to
speak in their praise, and I always do so
when occasion offers.
\V. L. Page, of "W. L. Page & Bro."
Franklin St., Richmond, Va., J use 3,2882. .
"I hare used AVer's Pills in nnmberI
less instances as recommended by you, and
have never known them to fail to accomplish
the desired result. We constantly keep them
on hand at our home, and prize them as a
pleasant, safe, and reliable family medicine.
FOR DYSPEPSIA they are invaluable.
J. T. Hayes."

past I Lave been subject to constipation,
irom which, in spite of the use of medi[
cines of various kinds, I suffered increasing
inconvenience, until some months ago I
! began taking Ayee's Pills. They have
entirely corrected the costive habit, and
have vastly improved my general health."
Ayer's Cathartic Pills correct irregularities
of tbe bowels, stimulate the appetite
and digestion, and by their prompt and
thorough action give tone and vigor to the
whole physical economy.
