THOS. F. GRENEKER, EDiTORS. W. H. WALLACE, NEWBERRY. S. C. WEDNES1DAY, DEC. 15, 1880. A PAPEE FOR THE PEOPLE. The Herald is in the highest respect a Fam Ily Newspaper, devoted to the material in terests of the people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively, and as an Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad vantages. For Terms, see first page. Baves' Last Message. President Hayes sent in his Mes sage to Congress the 6th. It is a very voluminous document, and treats of a variety of subjects- He devotes considerable attention to the matter of the late election, and charges the Southern States with all sorts of fraud and corruption by which, he says, they "defeated the exercise of the right preservative of all rights, the right of suffrage, which the Constitution expressly confers upon our enfranchised citi zens". In speaking on this subject, he says: "I trust the House of Representatives and the Senate, which have the right to judge of the elections, returns and qualifica tions of their own members, will see to it that every case of violation of the letter or spirit of the Fif teenth Amendment is thoroughly investigated, and that no benefit from such violation shall accrue to any person or party." Which means that he advises the House, which will be Republican after the 4th of March, to seat the Republican con testants from the Southern States. He goes on to say: "It will be the duty of the Executive, with suffi cient appropriations for the pur pose, to prosecute unsparingly all who have been engaged in depriv ing citizens of the rights guaran teed to them by the Constitution." In regard to popular education, he recommends that Congress sup plement the local educational funds in the States by devoting public lands to this purpose, or by appro priations if necessary. He devotes a large space to his pet hobby and sham-"civil service reform"-and recommends that ap pointments be made by means of competitive examinations, and :he recommends an appropriation of $25,000 annually for meeting the expenses of a Commission to make the examinations. He goes for the wicked Mormons, and urges Congress to devise some more effective means of suppress ing polygamy. He recommends either that the Territory of Utah be reorganized, or that a law be passed depriving those who prac tice polygamy of the right to vote, hold office, or sit on juries. He recommends that Gen. Grant be appointed by Congress "Captain General of the Army, with suitable provisions relating to compensa tion, &c" A great deal of space is taken up 'witha remarks about our foreign re lations and other matters of little or no interest to the general reader. Lynehed. Mrs. Kennedy, wife of Mr. Thos. Kennedy, of Clarendon County, was murdered in her yard during the absence from home of her hus band Sunday, the 5th instant- Mr. Kennedy went Sunday morning to get his mother to stay with his wife while he should go to Charleston the next day. Returning in the af ternoon, he found his wife lying dead in the yard,- with her skll broken and crushed by some sharp instr-ument. His house had been plundered, trunks rifled and several articles of value stolen. Mrs. Ken nedy had been married only a year, and was soon to become a mother. The whole community was arous ed by the news of the brutal mur der, search was instituted, and the crime was fixed upon three negroes, two men and a woman. They were captured and hanged to the nearest tree, whbites and blacks participa ting in the execution. The Greenville & Laurens RI. R. The incorporators of the road between Greenville and Laurens met in Greenville the '7th instant. The engineer reported that the road could be graded, including bridges and trest:es, for $145,000. The County Commissioners of the two Counties of Laurens and Greenville will in a short time submit to the voters of the respective Counties the question of taxation for the purpose of building the road. Win. Donald shot and killed Wm. Agnew with a pistol near Donalds ville, Abbeville County, the night of the 4tb instnnt The Pen1te-:aarY Is giving our Legislators con siderable trouble. It is an ex tremely perplexing question to de cide what to do with the convicts. That they ought to be made to work, and. as far as possible, pay the expenses of their own crimes, no one doubts. But in what way shall they be worked? The best way, undoubtedly, is in building railroads, digging phosphates, and in other enterprises of a quasi pub lic character. The trouble so far about this is, that many of those who hire the convicts for such pur poses have treated them so badly. A. year ago we had the horrors of the Greenwood & Augusta R. R. This year we hearogrievous com plaints from the Edgefield & Tren ton R. R. Several months ago complaints were made that the con victs working at one of the phos phate works were being cruelly treated. With such experience constantly recurring it is no won der that a bill has been introduced in the Legislature to prohibit the further hiring out of convicts. We don't think the bill will pass; but its introduction shows the necessity of more stringent regulations con cerning the treatment of convicts, and the enforcement of the law against parties who maltreat them. A company,~ or a corporation,' hire, for instance, one hundred convicts for twelve 'months; their object is to get all the work possible out of them during that ime. It ought to be so arranged that convicts hired out should be visited at intervals by an officer of th3 Penitentiary, and the first act of unnecessary cruelty on the part of the contractors should forfeit their contract and subject them to a penalty. Convicts should be em ployed on these works of a public character as long as such work can be found for them; and should not be put in competition with skilled mechanics until it becomes abso lutely necessary for the purpose of keeping them from idleness. With proper regulations cruelty can be prevented. * It is no maudlin sentimentality that demands that the convicts shall receive kindly treatment: both hu manity and economy require it. They are human beings, and should be treated as such; besides this, if they do not receive proper treat ment they become totally wrecked and worthiess as laborers and a dead expense to the State. The editor of the Baltimore American on a recent visit to Char leston wrote to his paper very free ly his opinions of that city. While praising its natural beauties and advantages he styles it a city with out progress. He attributes her lack of progress and her slow growth to selfishness, and says, "Charleston has always lived for herself, and herself only." He says that for a Charlestonian the sun rises in the Cooper and sets in the Ashley. The whole up-counutry of the State has entertained this opinion for a long time; but the Charleston people have always attributed the expression of such opinions to jeal ousy, or sectionalism, or some other bad motive. Now that a disinter ested outsider expresses the same views so forcibly and pointedly as the Baltimore American editor has done, we hope it may have its due effect in awakening the Charleston ians to more liberal views. We desire, in common with the whole up-country, to see our chief commercial city prosperous ; but we want it to be on a fair basis of mutual patronage and benefit. Dr. D. S. Pope, Assistant Suir geon of the Penitentiary, having visited the convicts on the Edge field & Trenton .R. R., reports that he found sixteen convicts employed on the road ; one was employed as a cook and seemed to be in good health; three wer'e sick in the hos pital ; twelve were at work, of whom five bore marks of very severe whip pings. All had symptoms of scur vy, and with two exceptions were not able to do the work required of them. The Piedmont & Arlington Life Insurance Company, with head quarters at Richmond, Va., has failed. This Comnpany formerly had an agent at Newberry. and sev eral persons in this County hold the policies of this Company. The extent of the failure is not known yet. The meeting of the State Grange last week in Charleston was one of the best ever held. The reports of the officers showed that the mem bership was largely in excess of last year ; that the Grange is in a good working condition, and that the membership is fully alive to the Legislative Matters The Legislature is moving along smoothly and satisfactorily. They expect to get through with the work before the Christmas holidays. Among the important measures in troduced has been a bill to encour age immigration, by exempting im irmrnts from taxation for fire years, except from the two mills school tax; the bill also provides that the Agricultural Department shall use its powers to induce im nlgration. A bill will be passed preventing the carrying of concealed deadly weapons. The questicn of a Constitutional Convention or Constitutional A mendments has been referred to a committee from both houses who will sit during the recess and re port at the next session what changes are needed in the Consti tution, and whether a Convention is adv'sable. The bill providing for the regis tration ol all voters in the State, and several other bills relating to the election laws, have been refer red to a similar committee under the same provisions. It is impossible to give anything like an intelligent account of the proceedings from week to week. When the Legislature adjourns we will publish any laws of general in terest that shall have been passed during the session. The Popular Vote for Pregi dent. Notwithstanding Garfield beat Hancock very badly in the Electo ral vote the popular vote was pret ty close-only 3,401 in favor of Garfield. The votes for President were : Garfield ................ 4,439,415 Hancock ............... 4,436,014 Weaver ................ 305,729 Dow................... 9,644 Scattering.............. 1,793 In 1876 Tilden's popular vote was over a quarter of a willion more than Hayes'. Hayes, in his Message, goes in for the old flag and an appropria tion. In addition to the necessary and the usual expenses of govern ment he recommends appropria tions for the purpose of enabling him to prosecute the Southern Democrats for violations of the election laws, an appropriation $25,000 'annually-to meet the ex penses of a Commission to be ap pointed by the President to examine applicants for appointment to the civil service, and for numerous other purposes. We learn from the Greenville News that fifty-eight persons left one section of Anderson County a week or ten days ago for Texas. The Reward of Thrift. In le-ss than three months Mr. R B. Hayes will return to Fremont, Ohio, to look after the sheep which his uncle left him. Hie goes back a richer man than he camne. Four years in thc White House have given Mr. Hayes $200,000 in salary alone. The salary belongs to nother man. No matter; it has gone into his poncket. Besides this, he has had the Whitc House contin gent fund at his disposal, to say noth ing of the extra appropriations voted for the Executive Mausion. These extra appropriations have been fre quent and large, thanks to the watch fulness of the faithful Rogers. Most of them have been applied directly to the maintenance of the Hayes house hold. They have amounted to at least $15,000 a year, available for do mestic expenses, and in addition to the salary proper. Mr. Hayes has saved at least three quarters of his salary. One hundred and fifty th ousand dollars will go back with him to Ohio. That sunm will buy agood many sheep, if he decides to devote the remiainder of his life to growing wool. ' It is right that Mr. Hayes' repu tation for thrift should be acknow ledged and uniderstood before he passes out~ of sight. l'uople care very little now about what Mr. Hayes says or does. In a few mnths they will cease to care at all. But it is fair to say that he is thme first person ever in habiting the White House who has coverted the opportunities of the place into a system of money getting and saving. The small trickery anid mean parsi mony used to further this main object of Mr. Hayes' ambition would seem incredible, if the facts were not noto rious Determined to make thme most of his four years in office, he lias kept a tight clutch on every dollar that was not absolutely needed for the support of his family. The ordinary hospital ity of the White House has been grudgingly dispensed ; the extraordi ary occasions have been dispensed with altogether. To conceal niggardly practices, and for no other reason, a sham temperance crusade was begun. Mr. Hayes' professed total abstinence principles comnmanded respect only before it was discovered that they were professed simply to save the cost of wine. Let Mr. Hayes have all the enjoy-i ment that can possibly be derived from a fortune acquired as his hasi Foa TIE HBRALD. WHITMIRE'S, Nov. 30, 1880. "They smilingly fulfil Their Maker's will, All meekly bending 'neath the tempests weight; By pride unyisited, Though richly raimented, As is a Monarch in his robes of state." Autumn, sweet "Sabbath of the year", reluctantly retires as rude old Winter with her rough breath tosses ber gay liveried subjects to and fro, iventually destroying the rich coloring 3f their babiliments, substituting the russet livery characteristic of his reign; then wearied of sporting with them, he rudely consigns them to the lap of Earth, throwing over them his bright and imi.aculate mantle as a winding sheet. Such is Life! We enjoy its Spring time to the utmost, make merry, clothe ourselves in gay worldly trappings, nearing the bound ary of the other World in a kind of passive enjoyment of the present regardless of the future-uutil the icy hand of Death is laid on us, stilling the pulsations of life and laying us low ; but with this advantage over the inanimate creation, that the Jewel is taken from the frail Casket and wafted to the Immortal Sphere, there, as a child of God, to bloom in resplen dent an- unfailing glory where cha-ges of seasons are unknown. The farmers have been looking sad. They complained of so much rain, and the cotton appropriating too much water-not that it won't sell for more, but too wet to gather and prepare for market. As the rain makes it heavier and therefore sell to a better advan tage, that certainly ought to be the ray of consolation among the thick clouds of depression. I heard of a good old preacher, "ouce on a time", praying for rain. He prayed the Lord not to send a "trash mover", buta regular "drizzly, drouzzly" that would last about a week ; although, he said, he didn't intend to dictate. I think the old man must have been praying again, as that is the style in which our recent rains have fallen. I noticed one particular farmer experimenting with some cotton bolls before the fire; watching with intense interest to see if coming in contact with heat would open them, and no sooner had they cracked open, than a beawing smile illuminated his features-a genuine one; the more to be appreciated as "dry grins" have been the rage during the rainy season. Our neighborhood is kind and hos pitable ; and some of the localities abound in "legendary lore." There's an ancestral home a few miles distant, on the ,Enoree and "in the long ago" it was occupied by a quaint old couple. The gentleman was a rspectable and infuential physician, and his "gude wife" said to be of the witch persua. tion ; that being so, I would think her instrumental in supplying her husband with patients. I remember hearing it said of. an ancient dame that the witches of her day, would appoint a place of rendezvous at |which they would meet, after mounting their victims, and run races. This old lady said she was of the victims on a certain moonlight night, but that her rider being a "stewed witch," she outstripped the party, ran away, threw her rider, made for home, and awoke t.e next morning to find her face and hands terribly scratched by briars, and that a witch had been her "tire woman," from the many mysterious plaits found 'in her hair. But the Doctor's wife being large and ungain ly in size, no such good luck could have awaited her victims as pertain ing to speed and freedom ; and I think she would have done remarkable well, to have struck a "fox trot" on a good level road. This is a great ph. for 'possums. They are found up the -um Stump" in broad, open day light. A little boy caught one in his rabbit gum and with an animated countenance displayed it to our astonished gaze; but the poor victim's countenance was con siderably "spoilled," as he enacted the role of "playing 'possum." Those found of 'possum hunting and keenly alive to the inconvenience of the night season,-falling into gullies, losing their lights, and last but not least treeing "Spooks," would do well to call around. Politics is enjoying a refreshing nap, after being so long and aninma tingly discussed; and we hope that Garfield will prove all that was expect ed of Hancock; yet at all events, with Hamptom as our champion and friend. whose very name thrills the hearts of thousands of our Southern people, we till trust that "Rome will be Rome once more," and that the goddess of peace and prosperity, will smile t>landly an our dear little ill used State, crown. ing her with the Olive branch, never again to pale at rude grasp of war. Sucess to "Chicora." CLARA LOUISE. Foa TEE HERALD. From Smoky Town. If the Editor of the HERALD does not know how much the Smoky Town itizens appreciate his paper, let him nter their homes some Wednesday evening, and he will be thoroughly :onvinced that no visitor is more hos pitably treated than the HERALD. We ire some distance from the postoffice, nd the mail comes too late Tuesday o reach us, so we must wait a day onger. Of course only one can read he paper at a time, and you will find ~his one reading aloud, to edify the ther members of the family Such a ~icture did we behold last night, as we ~ntered a neighboring ho me. just after ark. The mother vas sitting by the ~ater, in the corner, reading, and a ~oodly group of children, like "olive lats," were around quietly listening. le really enjoyed the sight, and it re ,alled to mind the hours when our own ittle ones would say, "Ma, please read bout little Samuel and Joseph." Cose, to us, were hours of pleasure, >ut "like the snowfall on the river," hey are ''gone forever," and we feed n the priceless thought that "Many who are dear to our hearts Ar .. ,wac and watng for ne " in that celestial land, where sorrow and tears are unknown. The incidents of our Town have been rather varied. We have had a wedding, which was peculiarly pleas ant, inasmuch as the old-folks (that is the married people) were "bidden to the feast." Mr. Pat Sheely was mar ried to Miss Mary Sheely. at the resi dence of Miss Nancy Derrick, and Rev. Efiid % the officiating minister. Mr. Sheely wa, froor Lexington. We heard a gentleman saying that StDoky Town had to give all her girls to Edgefilid and Lexington. It seemed to be quite a m,atter to him, as some of his sous are just growing into gallant young men We anauot describe the wedding better than .to say it was a very large, civil crowd, and the dinner was abundant and well prepared We thought of your allusions to Aunt Betsy's cooking i6 connection with it. There was not a negro to be seen, the table being served by polite and attentive gentle. men. We heard some one say, after all had eaten, there was enough cooked for another wedding. We saw a dirt oven in -full bluom" that day, and all who have lived in Dutch Fork know what savory roasts it makes. Alto. gether we enjoyed the -occasion very much, though the weather was so cold. A sad accident happened Monday Mr. William Long's son, Willie, aged sixteen, took his gun to the field for the purpose of killing larks, which are so destructive to grain. He had left the gun on the opposite side of the fence to him. Seeing a hawk, he started to get the gun to shoot. As be lifted it up the hammer was struck by a knot just when the muzzle was in range with his right afi. The whole contents of the gun entered his arm, between the wrist and elbow, where they still remain. Strange to say, no bone was broken, but lie has a fearful wound and is suffering much Dr. Langford is treating him, and says he will be up in a few days. Christmas days are almost here, and Willie was one of our lively, pleasant boys ; but we console ourselves that the wound "is far from the heart," when it might have killed him instantly. As these are the days for church repairs, the Baptists are seeing to theirs. If all the members would work in proportion to one little, ruddy faced boy, named Brady Long, aged seven years, the work would soon be done and paid for. He raised $3.10 in cash, and says that more was prom. ised to him, but they did not pay him. Poor child, has his experience not commenced soon ? In spite though of all this, by God's blessing he will one day make a mewber of whom Bethel will be proud. Tell "Squeers" and "Ichabod Crane" we have wondered and wondered if we know them or have ever seen them. We don't remember hearing them at the meetings. If they really exist, tell thew if they did but know how hard some people (if they were "only women") had worked to attend that Inistitute, and how much they hoped for its success, they would bot speak so harshly. "Tribute to whom tribute is due." We have been out of the corps of teachers for one year, but enter again in January, and if the Institute is created, or resurrected which is it ?.-please say, we again wish it well, and hope to hear from it. J. A. L. T. HI. Irwin, of Ute Creek, Colfax, Co. New Me.xico, says: My wife has been cured of a cough of thirty ye:u-s' standing by wearing an "Only Lung Pad."-&ec Ado. Twenity Years a sufferer. Da. RI. V. PIERCE : .Dear Sir-Twenty years ago I was shipwrecked on the Atlan:iu Ocean, and the cold and exposure caused a large abscess to form on, each leg, which kept continually discharging. After spending hundreds of dollars, with no benefit, I was persuaded to try your Golden Medical Discovery, and now in less than three months after taking the first bottle, I am thankful to say I am completely cured, and for the first time in ten years can put my left heel to the ground.
