The iHeraldi. THOS. F. GRENEKER, W. H. WALLACE, ED'RS. NEWBERRY. S. C. WEDNESDAY, AUG. 20, 1879. A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. The Herald is in the highest respect a Fam ily Newspaper, devoted to the material in terets of the people of this County -and the 8tate. It circulates extensively, and as an Advertisin mcdium offers unrivalled ad vantages. or Terms, see first page. The Mormons. Once in a while the govelr-aent awakes to the iniquities of Mor monism, and for a little while re minds one of the old lady in her periodical "spazzuros." In 1862 Congress passed a rigid law pro viding severe punishment for those who shorld have more 'C:ves than one, whether they belonged to the Latter Day Saints or otherwise. For seventeen years this law lay dor nant in the statute books, and the Mormon men went on marrying as many women as they chose. A few months ago the "spazzom" return ed, in a modified form; Re3.aolds, a Mormon elder, was convicted of bigamy, or polygamy, and sentenced to the penitentiary. He appealed, and kept on appealing +ll he got to the U. S. Supreme Court which confirmed the conieti.on. Rey nolds was, nominally, sent to the penitentiary, where he enjoys near ly as much liberty and as maly converiences as he ever diO his wives being peiirtted to -'sit him whenever so inclined. His pr-i ishment is a sham. George Q. Cannon, Congressman from Utah, ,a )knion elder, has vAtten and .Vublished a pamphlet ciit;ci2'ng the decision of the highest Cor-t of the coti'try, declarng it not law, and ad'ising his people to c's regard it-and Cannon is not in jail for contempt. The Mormons are rapidly increasing in nr'nabers ; they have their etrissaies in- all parts of the world, who are inducing immigration. Only a few weeks ago two Mormon elders were tra versing the Northern part of Geor gia, boldly preaching their hellish doctrines, poring into the ears of women and girls the beauties of Utah and the Mormon religion. They were creating wide-spread dissatisfaction; families were being broken up. Some of the ci+'zens rightfully determined to put a stop to these proceedings ; they met the two elders, and proposed to give them a "dressing-off' as a lesson to them. While they were tonder . arrest one of the elders, named Standing, grasped a pistol in the hands of one of the crowd, and was immediately shot down. And it was called "A brutal outrage and murder." For several weeks Mor mon proselytes have been practicing their arts with success in the Coun ties of Clay and Cherokee, North Carolina. The people could stand it no longer, and have given them thirty days to arrange their affairs and leave or take the consequences. One of the elders writes to the Gov ernor complaiining of "their abridge ment of their religious liberty." The North Carolinians and Geor gians are treating them right. They deserve no more quarter than liber tines and seducers, and if the gov ernment will not suppress them the people should. The last manifestation of the "spazzum" broke out in the "White House" a few days ago. The Cabi net at Washington agreed on a let -ter, the 8th instant, to be sent to the different European govern ments, protesting against the con duct of these governments in allow ing their subjects to emigrate to the United States as Mormons. This is a piece of nonsense. It is not the business of foreign govern ments to know the "religion" of their subjects, nor to know in what capacity they emigrate, nor to pre vent their emigrating. But it is the business of this government to suppress polygamy, and it could easily do so if the attempt were made in earnest. [The Burricane is the title of a neatly printed and well filled little paper, devoted to Fun, Frolic and Fancy, the first number of which is on our table. It is published in Charleston, and is edited by Miss Eva E. Britton, a sprightly young lady of the tender age of 12. We invite Miss Eva to send in her- let ter for membership to the Press Association, and promise her the The Farmers in Council. The joint summer session of the State Grange and the State Agri cultural Society convened in Ches ter the 12th instant. The attend ance was very good. Hon. B. F. Crayton, of Anderson, President of the State Agrievltural Society, and Hon. J. N. Lipscomb, Master of the State Grange, presided jointly. Addresses of welcome were deliver ed by representatives of the tova, which were responded to by the presidents. Hon. A. P. Butler, of Aiken, 2ish Cow-nissioner, read an essay on Fish Culture, and Comp troller-General Johnson Hagood one on stock-raising. Both gentle men had subjects % ith which they are practically familiar, and their essays were both interesting and instructive. After the reading of each essay a general discussion by the delegates followed. A resolution was adopted to me morialize the Legislature to offer a reward of $10,000 for the invention of a machine that will spin yarn from seed cotton. The second day Hon. J. N. Lips comb, of Newberry, delivered an address on the uses and purposes of the Grange. Dr. Lartigae, of Aiken, read an essay on grape cul ture; ex-Chancellor Johnson, of Marion, one on fruit culture, and D. P. Duncan, of Upion, one on grasses. The third day Hon. B. F. Cray ton, of Anderson, delivered an ad dress setting forth the puiposes and advantages of the Annual State Fair. The meeting was a very pleasant one, and :l undoubtedly result in much good to the farmers and con sequently to the whole Stat,. Stewart's Body is a-marching On. The body of the late A. T. Stsw art, the late millionaire merchant of New York, which was stolen sev eral months ago from the family vat'1.t, has not yet been recovered. Parties in possession of the body have made a proposition to return it on the payment of $250,000, and no questions asked. The parties are in Canada, and have established the genuineness of their offer by sending to New York the silver plate and handles of the casket in which the body was bu':ied. The magnifi cent mausoleum on Long Island for1 the reception of the body is nearly completed. It is said that Judge Hilton and Mrs. Stewart refuse to comply with the terms of the body snatchers.. The New York World still insists that the body has been recovered by the family paying $50,000. Stewart's body has become as famous in story, if not in song, as that of the late John Brown, de ceased.* The Yellow Fever.

C., Sept. 13, 1-179. An interview has at last been achieved with Mr. Tilden. It was not a regular "interview," for the newspaper man got his report from a member of Congress who had talked with President T. But it has much of the vigor of the great New Yorker, and is evidently genuine if not entire ly accurate. Mr. Tilden speaks confi deutly of the future of the country, believing that we are just entering upon a long era of prosperity. Ile believes the Democrats will win in 1880. le ardently desires the suc cess of Ewing in Ohio, though he does not agree with all his financial ideas. A report is current in Republican circles here that Senator Ilamlin is desirous of imitating the Old Wiune bago Chief of Pennsylvania, by select ing his own son to succeed him in the Senate. This programme of the wily old Senator, if carried out, would of course be exceedingly pleasing to the Hamlin family, but it happens that the Deuiocrats and Greenbackers of Maine propose to have a hand in the election of a Senator from that State which will spoil the nice arrangement of the Penobseot Chief. If intelligent nien of the Democratic and Greenback parties of that State may be relied on they expect, together, to carry both branches of the Legislature. They have united in every County on the local tickets, and can win 4f they choose. And they seem determined to do it. The Texas Pacific Railroad Compi fly have authorized the issue of bonds for $24,000,000 for the completion o1f the road, a distance of over l,20 miles. This may indicate a datern,'i nation to build this important road without aid from the Government, or ine nanagers umy take this step with the idea that earnestness on their part will help thoem to secure the enveted Government recoguition. It is most likely that Col. Scott, the real head of the enterprise, has found, duringr his long stay abroad, that the bonds can be disposed of at reasonable rates with ont any Government guarantee. and that we shall soon see the road in ac tive process of construction. DE I. AYER'S CHIERRY PEcToRAL-the world's great remedy for Colds, Coughs and Consumption. Impudence and Ingratitude. A certain Philadelphia Advertis ing Agency sent us, a few days since, an advertisement of a College in one of our adjoining counties, to be inserted one month and offered us the liberal (?) sum of "$1, less 25 per cent.," which of course would leave us 75 cents net, really worth $5.00. How these Northern Agencies get hold of such advertisements (for this is not the first of such propositions) we are at a loss to know, and can only conjectore that >ur kind friends (?) at the head of neighboring institutions suppose they can get their advertising (lone cheaper thro;ugh Northei n Agen ies,though the work is to be done at home. This is not only impudence in said "friends and neighbors" but downright ingratitude. The Prin ipals of said institutions rarely fail to remember tlieir neighboring Edi tors when a Commencement is ap roaching, and when they have "an ax to grind." On such occasions Editors of the neighboring news apers are always "expected," or at east invited. The courtous heads of Faculties would of course prefer that the Editor attend in pro.pria ersona, for if present, "large as ife," he will be expected to give a glowing account of his trip, the po ite attentions of the entire Faculty, c., but above all the "gratifying and perfect success of the occasion." The Editor says his say--what in luence his paper commands is ex rted- and he is quietly laid aside mtil "wanted" again for a similar urpose. When patronage is to be ~iven out, however, he is forgotten ~r altogether ignored, and adver isements are sent to Northern ~harpers, whom these polite Facul ies never saw and only know hrough business circulars, but they eceive the patronage of these self ame, "Home Institutions" which ~he "convenient" little inkslinger is spected to "puff" and foster. It 3s all right, as a general rule, to go here one can drive the best bar -ain, but it should never be for otten on which sido the "bread is uttered," nor they that ap)ply the inctuons substance. FOR THE HERALD. The Cotiimon Schlool SyMem of South Carolina. No. 4. Our fourth reason for believing that the State should maintain and develop her present Common Free School Sys. temu was, "That these common coun try schools cannot and will not be sup ported by the people ; and the same, therefore, must be supported by the State." This we regard as alone sufficient to decide the question. If the people were able, as prior to the late war, to educate their children, it. might be less cen,urable in these cormion firee school demolishers t, pour out on ev cry possible occasion their insurrec tionary harangues to the detriment of the Common Free School System ; but they are not ; and, therefore, those harangues are either short-sighted, or dishonest, or both. The difference between our condition prior to the late war and that now, is about as great as that between an eagle and a tortoise. To contend, then, for an observance now of what was practiced prior to the recent war, and that too by means alone of those circumstances that have been totally changed by the war, is certainly just as absurd as was the fabled request of the tortoise to be taught to fly; and an obstinate effort in that direction will doubtless be at tended with an equally disastrous re sult. Of the 700,000 inhabitants of South Carolina prior to the recent war, perhaps upwards of 350,000 were slaves, whose sinewy arms were busy fror.; the morning's rosy dawn to the dewy shades of evening in battling for the ease and the educational facili ties of the other portion of the popu lation. Besides this, South Carolina teemed with the collected wealth of upwards of a hundred years of unsur passed prosperity ; and, in iddition still to this, the whole world was finan cially "in easy circumstances." Now we have not those 350,000 sin%wy arms to relieve our children; our wealth is gone "glimmering through the dreams of things that were ;" and the whole world is groaning under the merciless bondage of utter penury. Consequently, the vast majority of our people that could once easily pay from fifty to five thousand dollars per annum for the educational benefit of their children can now conscientiously pay out nothing, comparatively speak ing, except for food and clothing. Thousands of our white population will, therefore, come short of an edu cation, unless some provision be made for the same by State enactment. And as this is true with regard to the whites, how can it be otherwise than true with regard to those 350,000 ne groes whom the fortunes of war have irrevocably made citizens ? But a haughty smile of scornful contempt distorts the proboscis of many at the remotest suggestion of their contribu ting anything-even a widow's two miserable mites-towards the educa tional benefit of the colored people. What then ? Are these people to be deprived of their constitutional right of suffrage ? or enslaved again ? or expatriated ? or exterminated ? or ed ucated ? or shall our battered ship of State continue forever rocking and reeling on the restless billows of an ocean of ignorance ? These are the questions that present themselves to us. If we have answered them in fa vor of an education, it is simply be cause we considered that the only sen sible answer that could be given. But there is another phase of this subject that could be presented ; and it is,this. We would rather that we and every friend of ours should sleep in endless death, than that the broad lines of demarkation made by nature herself between the two races should ever be to any extent obliterated ; but we favor the idea of preserving those lines of demarkation, not by that pres ent custom of traducing, vil lifying, and degrading the negro hour by hour under almost, if not quite, every agri cultural roof from the "seaboard to, the mountains"; but by that only fficient method of withdrawing our< inds from the morbid contemplation f these degrading subjects, which de rade our3elves, and fixing them for- I ver on those high, broad, enlightened, enerous, and refining principles which ill elevate our race. When we take his view and practice it, we wilJ, to ur own,.advantage and honor at home a nd abroad, rise above all passion, arrowness, partisanship, prejudice, ( rror, and hatred ; know nothing but ur own and our country's honor; and ~ay, in the name of God, humanity, s ad reason, that it is now at length a i<rh time such scornful smiles and s iarow minded baseness should loose Ihi eoosfnsfo ot heivnoous fae g will thn Swtout~ aroleins. orelvten, whutevr i nyrdtrecnti oethingwhatr i r aticaly enze smething that11 days of servitude was indeed sowetbing like that of the faithful do which knew no joy save in the smile of its living master, and which, when that smile was forever hidden by the shades of death), lay Moaring in solitude to the midnight winds until relieved by a death of hunger. Their sinewy arms secured for us and our children both wealth and educatiotial facilities before the war. To them, in a ineas ure, we entrusted our helpless ones, when 'The God of Battles stamped his foot, And nations felt the shock." Many of them were willing to go forth and to fall beside their youthful mas ters "on the field (if battle" ; and when the sulphurous clouds of war had roll ed away and left them freemen, they childlike would have turned to their former masters, bound to them as they were by a thousand ties of mutual confidence, and kindred labor and kindred suffering. That we turned away in bitterness from them, despis ing their horny hands of friendship and that ignorance and baseness which we ourselves in part occasioned, and abandoned their 'ignorant and suscep tible minds to the eager teachings of a lawless band of political plunderers must be attributed to nothing else than to that same wilful blindness and obstinate perversity which are still so prevalent amongst our people. But still they are of service 'though partially arrayed against us; for the South is, and will continue to be, an agricultural region. Consequently, her hopes for future prosperity will reside less in her "---- dandy-despots, yea, Those jeweled masses of millinery, Those oiled and curled Assyrian Bulls That smell of musk and of insolence," than in her. rugged, sun-burnt labor ers. Now, no one can deny that with all his faults the negro is our best la borer. He is more capable, more cheerful, more conversant with our modes of farming, more humble, more tractable, and generally more humane, and patient under censure than any other laborer we have ever tried. At the same time, he will live in any sort of a house, diet uncomplainingly on the coarsest fare, wear "old clothes", walk to church, and in various other ways adapt himself to the poverty stricken condition of our Southern agriculture since the war. At the same time, lie is not at all responsible for his transmission hither from the shores of Africa into bond age here ; nor for his ignorance and all its own legitimato evils, an educa tion with its restraining, purifying in fluences having been denied him by the barbarous code of slavery ; nor for his recent emancipation; nor yet for much of that present want of politi cal and industrial co-operation and harmony which are now so materially retarding the recuperation of every kind of Southern industry. Why, then, should we continue foolishly to prate about, and dwell upon, these matters to his injury and persecution ? Why not give him a tithe at least of the chance we would be compelled to grant a German, Irish, or any other laborer ? None of these foreigners have ever benefited us without a satis factory "quid pro quo" at once ; and all were against us in the recent war. The negro, on the other hand, material contributed to the unsurpassed pros perity of Southern industry; stood "shoulder to shoulder" with us in the recent war; and asks nothing to-day from us but our common charity to wards those faults we imposed upon him by his state of slavery, until lie can, by picking up the crumbs as it were that fall from our educational table, eradicate those faults and pre-1 pare himself by means of an education to discharge all his duties towards us as a humble laborer, with more fideli ty, more intelligence, more sympathy, more satisfaction, and more advantagei to his employer. With these remarks, we dismiss this offensive portion ofi the subject, asking nothing but a calm i outemplation of the facts, and the simple reflection that if it is right and ] beneficial to villify the negro, it should I not be wrong and hurtful to speakt what little good we can in his favor. t NRs~.

The Race Path Road. MEssRS. EDITORS : What is the reason the public highway froti Dr. Cannon's Ferry, on Saluda River, to Nwberry, has not been tut and )peu ld for public travel ? The road has been ordered anid Special Commission ers appointed to lay it out by the County Commissioners nore than a year ago, and the rond is not yet touched. There must be a screw loose somewhere. In 1876, an article appeared in the Proyressive Age, (Newberry,) to this cffect : That an application would be wade at the next Legislature to cut and open a public highway from a point on the Augusta road beyond Richardsonvi lie, in Edge 5eld County, direct, via Cannon's Ferry, to Newberry C. 11., S. C., to be called the Race Path Road But it being ascertained that the same ob ject could be accomplished by the County Commissioners of Edgefield and Newberry Counties, it was adop ted in both Counties. But, Messrs. Editors, I suppose the same reasons existed in Newberry for not opening the Race Path Road as exist in Edge field. On the 15th of April, 1878, the County Commissioners of Edge field passed the order to cut and open a public highway commencing at Pe terson's branch on the Augusta road, between Richardsonville and Allen's, to Cannon's Ferry, to be called the Race Path toad, and~a Special Com mission was appointed to superintend the laying out of said road, and a docu ment prepared by the Board of County Commissioners of Edgefield County, setting forth what they had done in regard to establishing the said road, to the Board of County Commission ers of Newberry County. The Board of County Commissioners of Newberry immediately passed the order to cut and open the road direct from Can non's Ferry to Newberry. But the road has not been opened, and, as I said before, I suppose the same reasons exist in Newberry as in Edgefield for not opening the Race Path road. When the County Commissioners pass. ed the order to open the road they thought it would be prudent and wise to postpone the opening of the road until the crop was laid by, and by that time these same County Commission ers had become candidates for re-elec tion. A few little whiners, yelpers and barkers in human shape, appeared before these candidates with their au gust presence and proclaimed to them, if you attempt to open this road we will vote against you and will ever be a thorn in your flesh. At these de clarations the candidates wilted, with ered and crouched, and that has been the last heard of the opening of the Race Path road by the County Com missioners. So much, Messrs. Edi tors, for electing Commissioners. Let the State rise up as one mighty man, and discard this abominable recon struction Radical road law from our statutes, and institute in its place a law like that which was in force in ante belium days when we had good roads and low taxes. Messrs. Editors, please allow me to call your attention for a moment to a host of County Commissioners through the State of South Carolina who are sucking at the big teat of the State. Messrs. Edit ors, there are a plenty of good men throughout our country, and men of great merit, and men full of patriot ism, who would act as Commissioners without fee or reward if they were ap pointed by our Legislature. Your| orrespondent well recollects he acted as Chairman of a Free School Board >f Commissioners for many years in intebellum days, and never received a ed for his services, and could do so igain if appointed by the Legislature, Should the County Commissioners :ontinue to neglect their sworn duty intil the Courts convene this matter will be turned over to a higher tribu al, a tribunal which has never failed o relieve the weak and the oppressed ~rom the overbearing strong ; I mean he Grand Jury of each County. I must bring this 'communication o a close for I have spun it out long r than I expected when I commenced t, but the great interest I take in it s my excuse. In conclusion let mc |ay another word in regard to this 1ace Path road as a feeder to the pros erous town of Newberry. It is bought by some of the knowing-ones hat if this road were opened direct rom Cannon's Ferry to Newberry, nuch of the trade that goes to John ton's, Batesburg, Leesville, and even orosperity, would find its way t<rNew ierry. In my next I shall say something f the advantages of Rail Roads to and om Newberry as feeders to that slace. AN EDGEFIELD MAN. Clary's Mineral Spriogs, Edgefield founty, S. C.
