KNIGHTS OF HONOR--From a re ebt paper we learn that this order is now only six years old, but from an humble beginning has made remarka ble progress. It has now in the coun try 1,901 lodges with 66,000 active members. Within the six years of its existence the order has distributed and paid in benefits from its widows' and orphans' fund $20,61,930.61, and its average annual distribution and payments amount to $100,000. The Knights of Honor is a grand, organ ized, systematic charity, with its members chiefly from the middle classes of society. It as also of great advantage by elevating its members socially and morally, and is most ben eficial in its relief of suffering and prevention of poverty, and is there fore a benefit to the whole community even outside of its organization. Its stability and soundness have been thoroughly tested, and the pledges of its members can be relied on, as has been amply proved. The Knights of Honor's system is much more econ omical and reliable than the estab lished systems of life insurance. The Knights paid in the yellow fever season of 1878, $5,00,000 in benefits without difficulty.-Palnetto Yeoman.

Professor David Duncan has given his classical library to Wofford College, and this is no ordinary gift. For many years he has been accumulating this library until it numbers nearly 1200 volumes. Many of the books are rare, and there is one of the num ber that cost over a hundred dollars. The learned classical scholar, Dr. Toy, Faid this was the finest classical library he had ever seen in the pos sesion of a private individual, and he had seen many in Europe and America. It is difficult to estimate the value of this gift in money, bu t it is perhaps between five and eight thousand dollars. The Professor has the hearty thanks of every friend of the College for this valuable gift. [Carolina Spartan.

To hear some people talk one would think, if he did not know to the contrary, that this Council had been incompetent, inefficient and unmind - ful of its duties. The fact is, we have seldom, if ever, had a better Council; one more energetic and public-spirited; one that did more for the improvement of the streets and the town generally, as far as their duties extended. There has been (so we have been informed and believe, though we haven't seen it) a good deal of gambling carried on in town within the past year or two; but we do not undertake to say whether any blame attaches to the Council on this account, or whether they have made the proper efforts to suppress the evil. Their knowledge of this evil, we presume, was only such as the community at large had, viz., rumor. If any par ty had been carried before the Council charged with gambling he would have been held to trial; or if information on oath had been made to the Council that certain parties were engaged in gam'-ng in town we have no doubt .e Council would have had them ar rested and tried. There is one fact connected with this matter of gam bling that deserves to be noticed. There are two Trial Justices in town, who have the authority and the power to punish this offense, and whose duty it is to enforce the laws against it just as much as it is the duty of the Council. We do not know that they have done any thing in this direction ; yet both these officers have been prominent in the party contending for "peace, morality and reform"-one of them presided at the Wednesday's meet ing, and the other took an active and conspicuous part in its pro ceedings. We do not say that they have been remiss in the perform ance of their duties in this matter of gambling. They would no doubt say that proper' information has not been made before them. Couldn't they have got the information if they had made an earnest effort?i They may say that the offense has not been committed "in their view;" but couldn't they ove gone where it was going on and seen it if they had desired to do so!? And could not some of those citizens who have been so loud in their complaints against the Council for not sup pressing this evil have given the Trial Justices sufficient information to proceed upon ? If they did not possess that information what right had they to make the complaint ? If they did have it and failed to use it for the suppression of the evil complained of, are they themselves blameless ? What we want is less talk and more action. It is the duty of the Council, the Trial Justices and the citizens of the town to see that this evil and curse is eradicated from our midst. If these all do their duty it can be destroyed, root and branch. But talk won't do it ; prompt and decisive measures by those in authority, aided by those citizens who desire to see the town peaceable and moral, will. Let it be done. Ire,land's Appeal. Messrs. Parnell and Dillon, mem bers from~ Ireland of the British Parliament, landed in New York a few days ago, and met with a most enthusiastic welcome. Mr. Parnell has spoken to immense crowds in Newv York City and elsewhere since his arrival. His objects are, 1st, to obtain contributions for the thous ands of suffering Irishmen, and, 2nd]y, to arouse the sympathy of this country in favor of the Irish renters, who, under the oppressive burdens placed upon them by land lords, are little better off than slaves or serfs. Congressman Aiken, from this, +h~~ fh;~-R 1;QfriPt will have ih~ ~n The Columbia Canal. The contract between the State and Messrs. Thompson & Nigle, con'raetors. concerning he ('(um Lia Canal has been conclded. and the contractors have gone to woik to secure the necessary capital stock by subscriptions. They are no, )t capitalists themselves, hut say they have no doubt of obtaining all that is needed. Their plan is io get citizens of this State to take stock to nearly half the amount re quired and then to go North for the balance. The work has been laid out to employ a capital stock of S1,25t,000. The Canal is to be 200 feet wide and to give 15 000 horse power, 1,500 of which is :o be the property of the State. The State furnishes to the contractors 250 convicts, whom the contractors are required to feed and the State to clothe and guard. All the land that is necessary for the erection of I factories and other buildings has been secured, and it is proposed to erect a factory of 26,000 spindles. The city of Columbia has guaran teed the contractors from any dam ages from right of way, backwater, &c. It is expected to begin work soon ; the terms of the contract re quire the work to be completed in three years. In this arrangement the State has the prospect of gaining largely, with little or no danger of loss. If the contractors fail the State's loss will be little more than the loss of the convict labor furnished ; and if they succeed the whole State will be benefitted, though Columbia will be the greatest gainer. Messrs. Thompson & Nagle come from Rhode Island and are highly re. commended by capitallts, princi pally manufacturers, of their section of the country. Pressing Hospitality. Gen. Gran4 no doubt felt a su l preme disgust at the flankeyis1n that he witnessed on his iscent trip through the South. It would have been more becoming the dignity and self respect of South Cirolin. ians to have let him pursue his journey in peace. There was no oc casion for any display of hospi tality. He was not making a tour tirouigh the States; he was no~t even paying a visit to the South, but was only passing through on his way to Cuba :so that there was no occasion for ovations or hospi tality or attentions of any kind, even had Grant been a fit subject for such marks of respect. If these at tempts of a few South Carolinians to thrust their attentions upon Grant were sincere they have shown themselves more than hmuman in their readiness to forgive, or mor-e submissive to wrongs and insults than is compati ble with a high minded and spirited people. If they were not sincere then their conduct was hypocritical; and it was without excuse, for- they went out of the way to display it. What any South erni man, or any thinking man, can find ini Grant to admirec is more than we can see. As a soldier he was fortunate but not great, as a Pr-esidient his adl ministration was a disgrace to the American Republic. He is now seeking the office again, without one qualification that would recom mend him to that position, and it would be an unhappy day for this country should he ever be re elect ed. The South would stultify it self in attempting to honor Grant. A niother Legislative lunuder. "An Act to amend Section 74, Title 5, Chapter- 122, part 3, of the General Statutes relating to claim and delivery of per-sonal pr-operty," says that said Section 74, &c., be amended in the fourteenth line of sub divisionl 5 of said section by in serting the word "summons" after the words "withi a copy of the un dertaking. The intention, no doubt, was to insert the words "with a copy of the undertaking' after the word "sammons". The amend men t is i mpossih!)e and ther-e fore does not amount to anything. It is not a matter of much concern; but perhap)s it is an evidence of "hasty legislation". A (orrectionu. In saving last week that the In tendant postpone?d the- p)ublic meet ing to nominate a Town Council without consulting with any of the Council except one member, we la bored under a mistake. He oon 'sulted with Wardens Christian and Speers, as will be seen by his com munication in this issue ; and they with himself, form a majority. This orection is dune the Tnten In the State o' Maine. In Maine the Democrats are in the majority. They can elect their State ticket. but have hitherto fail ed to get a majority in the Legisla ture. The late election in the State was very hotly contested : the Dem ocrats and Greenbackers joined forces, but the Republicans claimed the victory. Gov. Garcelon, Demo crat, and his Conncil, acting as canvassers, threw out several pre cincts and gave certificates of elec tion to fusionists. This created a big excitement in the State: the Republicans charged Garcelon with being a traitor, with corruption, fraud, etc. Trouble was anticipated, and the Governor ordered the militia to be in readiness for any emergency. Arms and ammunition were collected at Augusta, the Cap ital. The Legislature met the 7th. The Senate and the House were organized by the fusionists, only one Republican, Eugene Hale, tak ing part in the proceedings of the House, and he only for the purpose of i aising "points of order." Three fusionists refused to take part in the organization of the House. Their party claims that they had been "seen", and the following affi davits seem to bear out the charge that the Republicans had resorted to bribery : AUGUSTA, ME, Jauuary 5. I, Thomas B. Swann, in presence of lion. Solon Chase and Hon. E. H. (ove, make the following statement: I have this day been approached by an agent of the Republicau party to resign as representative for money. I am going to take money to-maorrow and thus show to the people the fraud and corruption of the Republican par ty. I except to have another par ty also take money for the same pur pose. Tios. B. SWANN. This is a true copy of a paper I now hold, and which copy was made and signed near midnight January 5 and 6, by Thos. B. Swann in presence of Solon B. Chase and myself. E. II. Gov-E. witness. The Argus says : "I was inforrmed that one thousand dollars had beo offered by one of the agents of the Re publican party to a representative of the Maine Legislature to resign his position, and did not ask whether he belonged to the Greenback or D)emo cratic party. Thereupon I consulted with tihe members of the Greenback part)' and informed themi that. would have it hinted to said agent that my resignation could be effected with money, and if I was offered $1,000 I would take it and should then ex pose their plans to defeat the will of tile people by bribery. At 1.O00 A. M., on the 6th, I wet the agent at the courthouse, signed the resigna tion and papers, and received one thousand dollars. Said agent inform ed me that he had got three or four men to remain away from the IIouse and prevent a quorum." A similar affidavit is signed by Moses IIarriman, of Kennebunk, wit h the following additionol attest: AUGUSTA, ME., January 6, 1880. We certify that Moses Harriman, of Kennebunk, exhibited to us this af ternoon a package of money and re quested us to count it. W e did so, and it wade $1,000, which he said he received as set forth in his affidavit. E. II. GOrE, R. M. SPRINGER. Talk of an Extra Sessidon. We have already mentioned the mistake in the Act to raise supplies. The enrolling clerk inserted 42 mills for State Tax in the bill, in stead of 4. as it passed the Legis lature, and it was ratified with tile mistake in it. The general impres sion seems to be that it would be better' to let the mistake stand and to collect the extra quarter of a mill than to call an extra session to rem edy the mnistake-the extra session would likely cost more than the quarter of a mill tax, or 82L5,000. The Governor had the matter under consideration several days, and de cided, to let the matter stand. But there ar others who take a differ ent view of the subject, and think that if parties should fail or r-efuse to pay the taxes assessed under the Act as it stands it might lead to expensive and troublesome litiga tion. C. H. Moise, Auditor of Sum ter County, is in Columbia for the purpose of enjoining the Comptrol ler-General from instructing Coun ty Auditors to place on the tax du plicates the 44 mills State tax. A iMuchl lIespited Negro. Jef' David, the negro who was condemned to be hung a year or two ago for the murder of the Firanklins in Abbeville County, has received a respite to the 17th of September. This is the sixth or seventh respite he has had; the first was received wvhile he was on the gallows with the rope round his neck. There has been always grave doubts in the mind of the Governor, as well as the public, as to his guilt-the evidence was all circumstantial. H{e will never be hanged, but will pr-obably have his sentence commuted to life impris Who Bolted? A Reply to Siccus. M[ i:ssnus. 1IlITo I S:-A c'o1Il - nientionr fromn "Siceus", headedi "'Two Tickets," which appeared in the last is'ue of the Newberrv HJe,l, reqiuires some notice from me. I merely desire to c-orrc,t the inaccuracies of the writer's state ments; I have no comments to make on the spirit which dictated his article, nor as to the taste and refinement with which that spirit is manifested. These are the facts: At a meet ing of the Town Couucil held on the lth day of December last, an arrreement was had to call a pub lic meeting on the 31st of Dec., for the purpose of nominating an In tendant and four Wardens. No ordinance was passed, no resolu tion adopted. A mere informal agreement was had, and the Clerk was directed to have the notice published: On Monday, the 29th Dec., I was informed that several influential citizens, whom the com munity had frequently honored with their confidenee, and to whom many of our citizens were wont to look to express their sentiments on such occasions, would be com pelled to be absent on urgent pro fessional business. I thought it, on that account, advisable to have the meeting postponed. I saw Warden Speers on Monday after noon ; he agreed with me; on Mon day night he informed Warden Christian of the postponement, and the latter fully concurred in our action. They certify as follows: NEWBERRY, Jan'y 7, 1880. At the request of Intendant J. P. Pool, I submit the following state ment, to-wit: That I was consult ed by Mr. Pool, as Intendant. in reference to a postponement of Citizens' Meeting to Jan'y 3rd, inst., which had been called to convene Wednesday, Dec. 31st. I gave my concurrence to said' change of meeting from Dec. 31st to Jan'y :3rd, inst. L.'M. SPEERS, Warden, Ward No. 1. This is to certify that I was -in formed on Monday evening, 29th December, 1879, of the postpone ment of the Citizens' Meeting called originally for 31st Dec.,1879, till the :3rd day of January, 1880, and that I concurred as to the ad visability of said postponement. E. HI. CHRISTIAN, Warden of Ward No. 2. 7th January, 1880. Still "Siccus" says that I re voked the meeting withont con slting the Wardens. Besides, it has on former occasions been left to the discretion of the Intendant to have the day of meeting changed, and no objection has ever been made to such action. Fur thermore, the first call made was signed by me as -Intendant. The notice of the postponement was given in the same way. The sec ond notice emanated on the face of it from the same authority as the first. How so many people could assemble and declare them selves the regularly constituted Convention is a mnystery to me. What becomes of the rights of those citizens who, in the firm be lief that the meeting was regularly and legally. postponed-even if such had not been the case-did not attend the meeting on Wednes day ? Were they to be deprived of their rights in the nomination ? Could the statement of one coun cilman make the people there as sembed a Nominating Convention? A motion to postpone, I am in formed, wvas almost hooted down. "Siccus" says: "Had the Intend ant a right to postpone a meet ing called by the Town Council ? The majority of the Wardens who by the bye were in the meet ing-thouaght niot." Now, the fact is, there were three councilmen present, one of whom-Warden Speers-bad agreed with Warden Christian and myself to a post ponement, and, therefore, the ma jority of the Council did not "so think." What harm could have resulted iin the p)ostponement ? Who is injured ? Why not have given all the p)eople, even if they were misled, an opportunity to ex pess themselves ? The people as sembled on Wednesday could ev idently not constitute themselves a nominating mneeti ug under the customs and1 usages of nominating bodies. The Saturday meeting was therefore, the only regularly constituted body. A few words on the virtue, mor alitv and intelligence question. A vote of thanks was rendered the present Conneil for their services by the Wedniesday meecting. Yet, "Sieens" thinks that the Wednes da- ticket should be supported because nominated in tl'e interest of the streets praying aloud and thanking the Lord that they were not like other people. It has beel rcepomrted that they were all killed at the lestrlltion cli .erusaltem, t but [ am satisfied that a good I many of them escaped. and that not a few strag gied over here and o settled within the corporato limits t of Newberry. I would not be at all surprised if "Sieus" were not some kin to one or two of those stray pilgrins. We all want refon. and there is no question that it is needed ; we only differ as to the proper method of bringing it about. The only question-however Vou may dis guise it-is "License" or "No Li cense," and, incident to it, /hi; or lor, taxe. The refusal to grant licenses, I sincerely believe, will not increase the morality, nor se cure the peace and good order of this town. The Maine Liquor I Law, either in State or cominunity, ( has proved a failure. Many old citizens of this place say that it has proved a failure here. It may not be amiss to speak of the financial bearing of the ques tion. Liquor license yields this town twenty- two hundred dollars out of fifty-five hundred dollars' revenue. Yet this aggregate a mount is hardly sufficient to keep up the necessary improvements. The consequence of "No License" will be that the Council be compelled to tax to the extent of their power; street duty will be increased to the extent of the law ; real estate owners and merchants will feel the consequence. Other wise streets and sidewalks will be neglected, persons and property left unprotected for want of an ad equate police force, and necessary means to preserve the health of the town could not be supplied. But enough. J. P. POOL, Intendant. Newberry, S. C., Jan. 7th, 1880. [\\ritten cpeciaiy for the HERALD.] Battle of" Life. IMEssRs. EDITORs: The writer re sponds 'con amnore' to your request that he should give your paper some notice of our last Thespian perform ance at the Prytauum, on Thursda9y night last. The play taken from Diekeus' Christmas story of the lhat te of Life, was dramatized by one of our Club, who is also our Stage Mana ger. The play is riot only chaste but beautiful The enuuejation of the amateurs on this occasion was perep tibly better thaui on former occasions. Capt. A. P. Pifer, who rather led in this special excellence, was very dis tinet. Others might also be praised specially for this, and none were below par in this respect. The ladies' cos tumnes wer e rich and beautiful, notably the six handsome dresses of Miss Rlay Foote, as also Miss Kate Moses. The ball dress of Miss Jenie Carpenter was extremely handsome. Mr's. Crags, (Miss Al ma W\erber), was beconmingly dressed in a dark grenadine with a large gold flower in thc pattern. Miss Ella Motte deserves all praise for the suitable style of her homely costume in the part of Cletpeney Newcome, in which she was so disguised as to be scarcely recognizable to her most inti mate friends. Mademoiselle Nathalie D'Aubigne, as Sister Martha Jeddler, the rather antiquated spinster whose years had softened into a mild benevo lence after some domestic trials, was very becomingly attired not as a fancy old maid, but as a retired elderly lady' with full white cap and apron over a dark dress, which with the aid of gold spectacles disguised her somiewhamt. The part of Dr. Jeddler was admirably sustained by Capt. A. P. Pifer, whose mild irony upon the vanity, the folly and emptiness of life ran through hi-s charater- or conversation. Nessrs. Sithecy and Crags, the partners in law, were well per'sonated by Mr. S. B. Fowles and Mr-. 0. L. Sebumipert. The scene between these two lawyers ad their respec-tive wives, who were mtuall: jealous of the office and the pa-tners as absorbing all the time and attention of their repetive husbands was paricularly spicy. The scenes between 1Brittain and Clemency were vey racy and amusing, especially the weeping scene. Brittain (D)r. E. C. 1 Jones), gave some extra and unex pected touches to his comic character. What shall I say of' Alfred Hleathfield (Mr. .Jeff .Brown). and of Michael Warden (Mr. Willie Ewart), the lov ers in the piece. The former was all that was sweet and lovely arid gracef'ul as the ladies nmight say, and the latter all that was handsome, mysterious and interesting. The three last acts of the play were well rendered] an re eived with increased aclmain by the auiencetiour.s&c. thAuine ois MATER. X M rfhie risiatr ircnerdtion ou~zht to be FOR T1I1: IIEnA.LD.
