the apology. I do not alone demand
it. With me are the honor of Spain
and the honor of the Spanish army,
which represents the country, and
whose highest dignity inheres in his
august majesty, the king.
"Therefore, not as a favor, but as an
act of justice which your majesty cannot

your government to ask the satisfaction
that is so necessary to the houor

W111THER ARE WE DKIFThMt?
Prominent Citizen** of Newberry Turn Out
to Be Robbers.
The Columbia State, of yesterday,
contains the following startling special
dispatch from Pomaria, Newberry
county:
"The bottom has been knocked" out
of Pomaria, and the war iu Cuba is
placed iu the background for the time
being. It is well known that the most
daring robberies, wanton burning of
buildings have been going ou here for
several years and little attention seems
to have been given it, as all thought it
was a baud of "home raised Jesse
James," and none cared to strike for
fear of being struck back. So bold
and daring bad this become that good
white men saw parties drive in the
place, iu the bright moonlight or early
dawn, rob and leave without even reporting
the matter or names, however
well were the parties known, for fear
of bodily injury or secret hurt.
First, E. R. Hipps's store was burned
; robbed first, it was thought. Then
the railroad depot was forcibly entered,
and wagon loads taken, then Selzler &
Co.'s store robbed of several huudred
dollars' worth.
Then again the Southern railroad.
At this time detectives came, secured
a large lot of the stolen property ; but
by a pernicious practice and methods
of the railroad, "better compromise
and get money thau to punish the culprit,"
the matter was hushed, although
some of the "best citizens," or so supposed,
were implicated.
Then came the burning of Colonel
Holloway's ginhouse and other buildings.
Then the la3t, by which it is hoped
the parties are trapped and broken up,
was that two weeks ago. D. Hipp's
large store of plantation supplies was
robbed. Mr. Hipp lay apparently
quiet; but a detective, in the guise of
a "picture enlarger," came upon the
scene. He found a wagon load and
two buggy loads of the stolen goods iu
the house of Mr. A. F. Riser, a former
clerk; also in the barn 40 kegs of
blasting powder belonging to the railroad.
This was in a house near the 1
railroad built for that purpose. The
house was burned, aud, it was sup- I
posed, the powder, too, until its finding.
Mr. Riser lived with his father, '
a most estimable citizen and a strict
church member; a well-to-do farmer.
Goods of a small nature were found in
other bouses of men of good repute.
So far, the authorities have arrested
A. F. Riser and brother, a Mr. Bickley
aud several Negroes, one the renowned
"blind tiger" and "dispensary
enemy," Yillius Baker. There is
no particle of doubt that there are a
large number interested, and what is
so astonishing, so much so as to border
on disbelief, is that some of the
most well-to-do farmers, men of families
and strict church members, some
even of wealth, are thought to be im
plicated and should any one "peach"
on his pals, then, in that case, I can
only say "the end is not yet." The
question the good people are asking
each other is: "Whither are we drifting,"
when some of our best men are
turning robbers and firebugs.
Newberry, March 3.?Jas. A. Riser
and his three sons, Albert F., Joe and
Willie, and John Bickley, white, and
Willis and William Baker, colored,
were arrested today at Pomaria, this
couuty, charged with robbing the store
of D. Hipp, at Pomaria.
The case was worked up by Detective
Holloway and the stolen goods
were found in possession of all. Riser
and his sons stand well in the county.
In default of $650 bond they were
committed to jail for trial next week.
WAS DR. BIV1N0S INSANE?
Probable Cautte of That Horrible Spartanburg
Tragedy.
All Spantanburg is shocked at the
horrible tragedy in which Dr. Biviugs
killed Mr. Trimmier last Tuesday, aud
people elsewhere who know the men,
are greatly interested. The Spartanburg
Herald of Thursday has the following
:
"Last evening the reporter, in company
with a friend, called on Mrs. Bivings
at her residence about 7 o'clock,
aud iu as delicate a manner as possible
requested the privilege of conversing
with her for a few minutes relative to
the sad tragedy in which her husbaud
? i 1 - - n i dl.
naa so recenny ngureu. oue was
found very sad indeed and almost
heartbroken. However, the good woman
was kind enough make the following
statement:
"I knew Mr. Trimtnier. He and my
husband were great friends. I have
not seen him (Trimmier) siuce three
days before Christmas, when I was in
his store in company with my own little
girl and three little daughters of
my next door neighbor looking at
Christmas goods.
"There is no gentleman in town who
has always been more polite to me
thau Mr. Trimmier, although I had
ouly a speaking acquaintance with
him. My dear husband was, and is
now, suffering from, as the physicians
say, mental aberration, though I did
not fully realize his condition until the
day before this unfortunate affair occurred.
He has always been as kind
and affectionate as a husband could
possibly be, and no word of reproach
ever fell from his lips agaiust me. He
is known all over the county as one of
the most kind-hearted men of the city.
No one ever asked a favor of him that
he did not graut if it was in his power.
When parties have been confined
in jail, he has gone unasked and bailed
them out. No beggar ever left his
door hungry. It would have been
impossible for my husband to have
done a wrong to any one if he had not
been demented, much less to his bosom
friend.
"These words were spoken calmly,
but the deep breathing of the good
lady and the occasional sobbing showed
how terribly she was suffering."
PROHIBITIONISTS TU ORGANIZE.
Slate Convention Will lie Held In Columliia
on April 14.
Columbia Register, March 2.
The Register's prediction tlmt a convention
would be called to nominate
a state ticket on the prohibition platform
has come true rather sooner than
expected. The following call has been
sent to the prohibition sympathizers in
all parts of the state. Should the
proper men be nominated, prohibition
will pl?y a very grave part in the future
politics of this state :
Columbia, S. C., February 25,1898.
The State Central Prohibition committee
having determined to call a convention
of the Prohibitionists of the state to
meet in Columbia, April 14, 1898, have
authorized their executive committee to
issue such call, and the said committee
hereby publishes the call and the regulations
which will be observed in selecting
delegates to represent the several counties
of the state in said convention.
1. The convention will assemble at 8 p.
tn. on the 14th day of April next, in the
hall of the house of representatives in 1
Columbia.
2. The chairman of the respective county
committees will call meetings or conventions
of the Prohibitionists of their
county who favor the enaction of laws restricting
the sale of alcoholic liquors in
this state to medicinal, scientific, mechanical
and sacramental purposes only, 1
and the nomination by the convention of
the state ticket who will support such leg- ,
islation, to be placed before the voters for
their choice at the next Democratic primary
elections, and subject to the result .

3. At such county meeting or convention,
the number of delegates selected in
the manner determined by the body,
shall be not less than the number of rep- (
resentatives from the county in the genoral
assembly; but may be a greater
number if so determined by said county I
meeting or convention. j
4. That said county meeting or convention
shall be called to meet not later than 1
the 4th day of April next, and if from
any cause it should be found impractica- i
ble to assemble such meeting, then the j
county executive committee are authorized
to appoint said delegates and certify 1
their appointment to the secretary of the '
state executive committee. (

MERE-MENTION. 1
The board of inquiry that is investi- '
gating the Maine disaster, transferred its
sittings to Key West on Sunday. A !
big benefit was given in the Metropolitan 1
Opera house, New York, last Sunday, for '
the families of the sailors who were kill- i
ed in the Maine disaster. The net receipts
amounted to ?10,000. The battleship
Kentucky is to be launched at
Newport News on March 24. The '
Madrid correspondent of the London
Times says that wheat is unprecedentally '
high throughout Spain and that bread 1
riots are of appalling frequency in many j
of the provinces. Kentuckians are 1
calling for the organization of a regiment '
with a view to increasing it to a division, <
and tendering the command to General '
Fitzbugh Lee. A report to the effect
that Secretary Gage is negotiating for a <
loan of $100,000,000 is denied. First re- <
ports of this kind are always denied. <
Notwithstanding the fact that the gold in ,
the treasury is some $60,000,000 in excess |
of the usual reserve, during the past few ,
weeks gold importers have brought over (
several million. Port Townsend, |
Washington, is. being fortified. French |
newspapers are calling upon European (
statesmen to intervene lor the purpose of
preventing war between the United
States and Spain. The Spaniards of '
Havana are preparing for a big jubilation 1
on the arrival of the Vizcaya, which is
now expected every day. Key West, 1
Fla., is about 80 miles from Cuba.
Looks Like Divorce.?The state I
supreme court, on Tuesday, rendered a '
decision that is novel, and which is on !
an entirely new question. In the case :
of Smith vs. Smith, from Chesterfield
county, there were four questions submitted.
The two of importance and
novelty are :
1st. Does the right exist in this state
to grant suit money and alimony pendente
lite ?
The court decides that such right
dopu mwl can bp nmvidpd for
v J I"
2d. Can such an order be granted
at chambers ? The court decides that
it can.
Messrs. Mclver and Pollock represented
Mrs. Caroline Smith, and
Messrs. Stevenson and Kennedy represented
Mr. George W. Smith.
The opinion is written by Associate
Justice Gary, and is concurred in by
the entire court?Associate Justice
Pope concurring in the result.
The court auuouuces that the questions
submitted are new aud novel,
and a rather long decision is rendered
upon the four questious involved.?
News and Courier.
WAR NEWS. \
Nothing Sensational In the Maine Situa- '
tlon.
I
The lull of seusational develop- j
meets indicated in The Enquirer of j
Wednesday, continues uninterrupted j
up to the hour of going to press. (
The cable dispatches to the Associa- ,
ted Press indicate that the Ssauish papers
are boiling over with cheap blus- ,
ter of the kind that would create the j
impression that Spain is spoiling for a ,
fight. But to this no importance is ,
attached. r
As yet there is nothing from the g
court of inquiry, which is still pursu- j
ing its investigations. The papers of f
yesterday reported that owing to some c
hitch in its plans, the court did not go ^
back to Havana last Tuesday as it in- (
tended ; but is still at Key West. If (
it has to wait on the divers to get t
through with their work, its reports u
will be delayed almost indefinitely. r
The feeling is expressed in some of ^
the more sensational paper, that no (
matter what may be the result of the t
investigations in Havunu harbor, the (
event of war will depeud entirely upon j
the desire of the money interests ^
north. If this interest consider war y
will not pay, then the issue will be j
evaded ; but if it considers that war (
will prove profitable, then there will c
be given the signal for bloodshed. As j
to whether this is a matter of fact or ^
only an appeal to the lower feelings
aud prejudices of the people, each in- '
dividual will have to draw his own
conclusions, for neither side of the
matter can be established by facts.
The feeling that there will be no ^
war seems to be growing stronger. 1

Congressional Investigation. 6
The senate committee on postmas- n
ters and postroads, on last Wednesday, 1
tuthorized a favorable report on Sena- ^
'V Mason's joint resolution for an in- j1
vestigation of the recent killing of the
colored postmaster at Lake City, S. C.
The resolution as reported is as follows:
"Whereas, It is asserted that
the United States postmaster at Lake
City, S. C., has been murdered and bis
wife and children shot, his home burned
and the United States mail and c
property therein destroyed ; therefore,
Resolved, That a joint committee,
consisting of six members of congress, (
three from the senate and three from j.
the house, be appointed to investigate c
the alleged crime and report the facts c
to congress, together with their re
commendations, and that they have '
authority to administer oaths, to send \
for persons and papers and to employ
a stenographer to be paid out of the a
contingent funds of the two houses of i
congress, and the power to act through f
a sub-committee." r
Murder In Spartanburg.
Thomas J. Trimmier, proprietor of
a bookstore and printing office in Spartanburg,
was shot and killed in his
office last Tuesday afternoon at 2.50
o'clock by Dr. Sidney Bivings. So far
as the public knew they had been A
intimate friends. According to the l
testimony at the inquest Bivings walk- S
ed into the store, locked the front door, e
went to the door of the office where a
Trimmier was standing with a custom- \
sr at his desk. Biviugs bad a pistol in *
each hand. He said: "You have in- ^
mlted my wife," and began firing at 1
ouce. Two balls entered Trimmier's
body on the left side and he died iinmediately.
Campbell Trimmier, a son
of the deceased, started toward his q
father, and Bivings shot him in the
hand. Bivings then went on the a
street and surrendered to a police- c
man, asking to he taken to jail at
once. Que bullet took effect in Trim- mier's
head and the other in his heart.
Either would have proved fatal. Trim- ntier
was about 45 years of age, and
leaves a widow and five children, fc
Bivings is a dentist, but gave up the v
practice of his profession some time j
back and of late has been drinking a ,j
threat deal of whisky.

Immediately after the murder of i

that would commit such an awful
crime. Cowards, too. Cowards

the postmaster, but innocent women 1
and children. I will not say more. I J
just felt I wished as a citizen to express
my horror at this awful crime,

bring those guilty to justice. I wish J
to give one $100 reward for the arrest c

at least six of them. I trust you will, J

Watson is widely known in the

lime. A few davs aco. in a communi
ration to The News and Courier from
Saluda, the correspondent referred tc
Colonel Watson as "the old mau elo[ueutbut
the printer, through misake,
and the proofreader through inidvertence,
allowed the sentence tc
ead "the old man elephant," and
lown the sweeping stretch of time
Colonel Watson will be known as "the

Courier has explained editorially, sayng
that the error was unintentional,
>ut the incident will advertise Colonel
.Vatson as he has not been advertised
>efore. If he should ever be elevated
o position of great honor, the sobripiet
will win him national comment,
U any rate Colonel Watson has reason

LEADS to prosperity. You can do no
more sensible thing than to PAINT
l your house. It will prevent decay and
waste while you are directing your efforts
in accumulating other property. It is
useless to gather snow and leave it exposed
to the sunsbiue. The deterioration
; in an unpainted house is very great, and
those who would protect their property
from the ravages of the elements, must
PAINT IT. In the selection of your
paint, I would advise the use of MASUKY'S
RAILROAD PAINT. It is not
only the best but it is the cheapest.
- IT WON'T SCALE.
IT WON'T CRACK!
IT WON'T PEEL OFF.
There are thousands of paints that are
inferior to MASURY'S; but not one sut
perior. When you paint your buildings,
use the best. I have had years of experience
and it teaches me that MASURY'S

I CAN'T GO YET.
Owing to the fact that I have
Droinised to meet a number of
ny customers at a specified time
:o receipt for money due on last
,'ear's account, it is impossble
or me to be present at the grand
ally looking to the cessation
>f rowdyism in Cuba, for as the
>ld maxim contends for "busiless
before pleasure," and since
t is not well to break a business
mgagment for every trivial mater
that presents itself to our fan:y,
we assure our friends that
ve are patiently waiting their
joining, and their early rush will
De a potent signal to our going
:o the front.
Stand to your promises boys,
:ome quick and pay your accounts,
and don't stand as a barier
between me and my country
ind thus prevent me from being
me among the first to the front.

vait until you had gotten your

vill do it; but the responsibility
>f keeping this soldier out of the

FRAUD RESISTED.
[REPRESENT FIVE of the leading
FIRE insurance companies doing harness
in the United States, whose combined
capital aggregates 829,825,636.00, and
onie of whom have been successfully in
nisiness for more than 100 years, and
iho pay all HONEST CLAIMS immeliately
upon proof of loss; but will reist
the payment of DISHONEST and
'RAUDULENT CLAIMS to THE
jAST DITCH, a fact which no one apireciates
more than the honest insurer,
o whose patronage my agency is largely
ndebted for its growing business. We
lon't pay "small amounts" when we
re convinced that they are unjust, to
iUILE a confiding public into rushing to
ur agency for their insurance against loss
iy fire ; but we pay all HONEST claims,
vhether "large or small," because we
lave agreed to do it and it is our business
o pay, and pay promptly. If all individlals
are honest, and there are no, such
hingsas misrepresentation or arson, then
re are bound to admit that insurance
ompanies are also honest, for all of them
re composed of Individuals. They
>nly want to insure throe-fourths of the
alue of the property, exclusive of the
alue of the lot and well. When you
rant trustworthy and reliable insurance,
ee me. All claims honestly adjusted aud
iromptly paid.
