C.: WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 1i9S SluM-Keeper siepperd a Lariyr. Shepperd, the Columbia slum keeper, who was sentenced by Judge Townsend to the penitentiary for violating an order of the court, was treated the same way as every other prisoner in tha- institution-his hair was clipped and he was put in stripes. The NNews and Courier and other whisky advocates are terribly worked up; they think it is an outrage that a man sent to the penitentiary for violating the whisky law should have the same treatment as other pris oners. We suppose the anti-dispen saryites would have a man sent to the penitentiary for violating the dis pensary law, taken out every after noon for a carriage ride and be fur nished with all the latest periodicals, magazines, newspapers and works of art ; that the pfison authorities should place a few fellow-con victs at his disposal to wait upon him, and furnish him with various other luxuries. Anti-dispensary newspapers like the News and Courier, the Columbia State and their little yelpers through out the State, are raising a big racket over this man Shepperd, and who is he ! He is a notorious law-breaker, and at the time of his arrest was running a dirty dive, slum, hell-hole, where the vilest of the vile- both male and female, regardless of color congregated nightly, and from that reeking pest-hole a great portion of the debauchery, house-breaking, sand-bagging, pickpocketing and other crimes which fill up the court dockets of Columbia eminated; then for newspapers pretending to be working for the upbuilding of a moral sentiment, to hold up their hands in holy horror and defend such a creature-for political pur poses-because this father of crime is incarcerated in the penitentiary, is a sin and a shame. We will venture the assertion that not one of the editors who now pre tend to be so indignant because Shepperd was put in the peniten tiary by our State courts, but who clapped their hands with joy when the State constables were locked up by the United States courts, would be seen coming out of Shepperd's place of business for half their incomes, and we doubt if any of these editors would speak to the Shepperd if they met him on the street; yet they WILL denounce, for politics sake, the State's officers for attempting to rid a decent com-' munity of a pest which, if not re moved, will do untold damage. We do not know whether the high est courts will sustain the law under which Judge Townsend sentenced Shepperd ; but, as long as the statute is not declared unconstitutional, the State courts will sentence those con victed before them to the State peni tentiary, and the authorities at the State prison will show no discrim ination. Once a man is within the walls of the penitentiary as a con vict he is a convict, whether sent there for riot, theft or selling whisky, and if a man does not want to go there he must not violate the law. The News and Courier has more grounds for raising a rumpus in the McAllister case than in the Shepperd ase ; but, while the McAllister case should be a stench in the nostrils of all decent people, that newspaper silently lets it alone because it has no factional significance, and the morals of the community is not what it is after right now. More can be accomplished toward wiping out factional feeling in this county by the Conservatives going out to vote than all the conventions and peace conferences put together. Now, let every white man go out next Tuesday and cast his vote. The Columbia State says that the Sumter Herald is a Reform news paper and the Register puts in the Conservative column. Neither are right and both are wrong ; the Sum ter Herald belongs to neither faction, but occupies a high seat on the po litical fence. Those of our readers who have fiends that do not take the paper should inform them of the primary to be held next Tuesday and see that they turn out to vote. A white man can vote in any club in the county, whether his name appears on the club roll or not. .The. editor of the Columbia State is fighting hard to induce people to stay away front the Democratie ..priary, but his efforts will be in vahi. The wVhiite meni in Richland and throughout the State can not be persuaded from their duty by those who have been whipped and disap pointed at every stage of the polit ieal game. The Columbia State is such a Jonah that even the Colored Ministerial Union had to break loose Both Sides Should be Heard. It will be remembered that last week we sent out a supplement sheet on one side of which was literature advocating what the Wall street ii nanciers call "Sound Money" doc trine. We plainly stated that we were sending out these sheets be cause they were advocating the "other side" and that we would give our readers an opportunity of seeing both sides. We want our readers to be educated on the financial questions because the money problem will be the main issue in the next campaign. If those advocating a single gold standard are right and their doctrine is the right one for the people to embrace, we would be doing a grave injustice were we to keep it from our readers simply because we do not see that way. This narrow-minded spirit of only showing up the bright side of our own views will not properly educate the people, and in our humble opin ion we can have more influence with the thinking public when we make our argument after showing both sides of the controversy. When a question is being discussed and only one side is heard an intelligent opin ion cannot be formed, because the case is not fully stated. The Columbia Register of yester day erpresses regrets that we should send out "gold-bug poison." Fortu nately we have breadth of mind suf ficient to be willing to hear and read both sides of the financial question, and while we favor free silver and believe the hope of the country lies in the national legislature enacting some law by which life may again be breathed into our financial system, which now lies mangled and bleeding, yet we feel that the question is a dif ficult one and open to reason. If the "gold-bugs" have right and justice on their. side their reasoning should take root and grow, and on the other hand if the friends of silver cannot get up sufficient argu ment to sustain their side it should fall as meritlesb. The Register and the TIEs differ in that the former is only willing to show up its own side, while the latter is willing to show both sides and at the same time be able to take a de cided position for one or the other. When the proposition from the "New York Sound Money Committee" came to us we were inclined to reject it, but when we considered the im portance of the question at issue, we came to the conclusion that our in fluence would be more effective when we placed both sides in the hands of our readers. The "gold-bug" literature will be followed by "free silver at a ratio of 16 to 1," and the one containing the most convincing argument will have its effect with the people. Until con vinced to the contrary, the TIMES is for free coinage of silver at a ratio of 1 to 1, be-lieving it is the country's hope. Conservatives Lose an Opportunity. The delegates to the Constitutional convention from Clarendon will be four Reformers; not that the Re formers refused to divide, but be cause the Conservatives would not put forward a candidate. It is a known fact that the Re formers throughout the county were anxious to vote for one Conservative, and it is possible that two could have been elected, but they would not give the people an opportunity to vote for them. Our Conservative friends can not now complain, and, as they would not take advantage of the oppor tunity offered them, they should go to the polls on the 80th instant and vote anyway. This they will do if they are sincere in wanting to see the people together again. The fact of their not having men of their faction to vote for, but turning out and casting their votes in the pri mary will display a spirit that will be bound to have a good effect in the future.. Conservatives, the matter of hav ing peace in the future is in your hands, and if you show by your con dut that you want strife allayed, the Reformers will be affected by the spirit, and an era of peace will set in. On the other hand, if you sulk and stay away from the polls, it will have the effect of widening the breach now existing, and in the next cam paign the people will be further apart than ever. Whoever is nominated in the coming primary will be elected, even should they have opposition. There is no doubt about that, and we can safely say that as far as the Con servatives in this county are con erned, no opposition will come from them. Sumter Reformers' Bad Breaik. The Sumter Reformers rejected the division proposition made to them by the Conservatives, and by doing so made a grave mistake. In that county the vote between the two factions is very close at best, and the faction heretofore having the ma jority offered, for the sake of peace, a division of delegates. This shou-ld have been accepted in the same spirit that prompted the offer. Unfortunately for Sumter's Re formers they have poor advisors, and the consequence is that Sumter is lost to the Reform faction by bad leadership. Now that the Reformers in Sumter' have declined the compromise we ex pet two tickets to be in the field in the general election unless the Con servatives go into the Democratic primary and nominate their men, whicn they can do without any trouble whatever, because many Re formers- who disapprove of the action of their own faction--will vote in the primary for good men from the Con servative faction rather than support hot-headed men of their own fac We had hoped that the Reformers would accept the compromise offer of the Conservatives so as to prevent ontention and strife in our neigh boring county, and thereby have the Reform faction of Sumter repre sented in the convention ; but, as it is, the Reformers will not be repre sented, and do not deserve to be as a puni:mnt for+hehinflly and r1eedri Every white mian should go to the polls next Tuesday and vote. We note with a great deal of )leas tire that Col. M. B. McSweeney of Hapiuton has consented to becoine a andidate for the Constitutional con vention. Col. McSweenev is a true Reformer and broad and conserva tive in his views. He will he a work ing miember o& the convention, and will be a credit to the people who have honored hiin. With such ien in the Constitutional convention the white people of Sorith Carolina are safe and the negroes need have no fears. BISHOP AND DIMPLE, LUCILLE AND JOE Have a Gav Tiie in the Mountains of North Carolina. Editor Manning Times -We left Spar tanburg about iid-day last Ticsday and reached Asheville in about sevefn hours' ride. Lucille. Bishop. Joe and Dimple were wild with ex-itement as the grand masses of trees and earth loomed up on either si!e of the railroad track shortly after leaving Spartanburg. Outbursts of surprise. first from one and then the other of them. c ine with every breath. I had warned them to keep their beads inside the windows. but Joe ventured to peep down into a deep ravine we were crossing, and -e!led out, "Oh, I see a billy goat and a playhouse." Out went every head, and mine, too. It was a cow with a bell on and a mountain but with the family seated on the piazza. It was so far below us that everything ap peared in "lilliputian" style. We got a glimpse of Saluda as we passed. I was there in '82. The familiar scenes brought recollections of happy girl hood--free from care and responsibility, no cloud had ever darkened the sunshine of the heart. In one brief decade how many sad and crushing sorrows have en tered in the retros.ect. From girlhood, "Backward, turn backward, oh time, in thy flight, iake me a child again, just for one night." The natural scenery throughout the en tire route was beautifully grand. On reaching the city we were transferred to the electric cars, and were carried about a mile up into theftity. Asheville is situated in the very bosom of the mountains, 18 miles west of the Blue Ridge. The French Broad and the Swannanoa rivers meander on either side of the city. No pictare nor description could do justice to this lovely site. The architecture is varied and beautiful, and the painter has excelled himself in the embellishments. We all were up early Wednesday morii ing, as I bad promised the children to carry them up on Lookout mountain. We took the electric (ar ani rode up the mountain as far as it coi'ld carry us, and then began our "up hill" plod. When we reached the summit Bishop asked, "Where is the mountain we were climbing ?" We found it much harder to descend ; each in turn had a tumble over the rocks and bushes. After viewing every public building and point of interest in the city we drove ont to Vanderbilt's Biltmore. It is five uiles out. The grand scenery presented one beautiful panorama after another. The wheat was being cut and shocked in the fields. The deep and vivid greens of the mountain sides contrasted beautifully with the yellow harvest. The sides and tops of the 'mountains are cultivated, Some of the rows curve like half moons, and it seems impossible for a horse to circle around in a field among so many rocks. The Vanderbilt estate contains nearly 10,000 acres, besides his hunting park covers 81,000. We obtained a pass per mitting us to ride over his estate. There are about twelve miles of brick-paved and macademized roads, Our patss was coumn tersigned af three different places during the drive ; this is necessary on account or imposters, who have stolen so many of the growing flowers and evergreens. The palace will be completed in October. It is built of marble style of the French Renaissance, 375 feet long arid 150 feet wide. Busts and statues are placed in every nook and corner. Bishop says he would be arraid to walk about that house at night. The gardens within the granite wall are handsomely arranged. The nat ural advantages have added so much to the artificial decoration of tke landscape gardener. Granite stair-cases up and dowvn grass covered hillsides ; artificial lakes bordered with green shrubbery and- tiowerse of every hue; electric spray fountains playing on all sides cover acres and acres. The uros pective shows a beautiful picture, and sur passed any grandeur I had ever seen. I saw for the first time in my life show windows on the proniinent thoroughfares illed with kegs and bottles of whiskey and wine with labels of fauncy lettering. The drug-store windows are regular cou servatories, some of th-em having playing water fountains in them. WVe saw a num ber of ordinary water coolers sitting out in front of the bakeries. Bishop, with his usual curiosity, proceeded to qJuenchi his thirst from (Ince of theam, thinking, as I did, that it wvas wvater. I passed on, Bishop stopped, fiiled his glass and drank it down.
