irby Ij'd Ils -. ; I i I.lsword "
Senator John L. M.1 rby is out in
the newspaplers with a long inter
view, which may be summed up to
mean a declaration of war against
those who do not come out right now
and say they will support him for re
election to the United States senate.
Ostensibly he is opposed to the re
port of the "suffrage committee," of
which Senator Tiliman is chairman,
but takes this occasion to a deliver a
long political harangue to make
known what he conceives to be a
plan to disfranchise thousands of
white men. The senator simply says
he is "agin" it, and makes no sug
gestions to guide the committee in
formuiating a better plan. -
Senator Irby means war, for he
says that "he has drawn his sword
and thrown the scabbard away." At
the same time he attacks the Re
form leaders and he professes true
loyalty to the Reform faction. There
is no doubt that the distinguished
senator has a host of friends, for he
deserves them, but he had better go
and hunt up his thrown-awsy scab
bard or his sword might get rusty.
The people are not going to stand
any foolishness from Mr. Irby no
more than they did from others, and
if he persists in spoiling for a fight,
he may get a contract which will be
more than he can handle well.
As far as we can see Senator Irby
--has taken up an idea that Governor
Evans will oppose him, and that
Senator Tillman will aid the Gov
ernor. What grounds there is for
-this idea we do not know, but we do
know that Governor Evans or any.
one else has a right to aspire to the
high honor, and if they are stronger
with the people than Senator Irby,
it is their good fortune.
We well remember when it was
being rumored that Hon. John L.
McLaurin was a candidate to suc
ceed Mr. Irby that gentleman in one
of hig speeches showed fight, "drew
his sword and threw the scabbard
away," and boasted that he "always
-wore a suit of clothes two seasons."
His friend, Mr. Gantt, in the Head
light kept up a weekly grind on Mr.
McLaurin trying to injure the man,
and at the same time was making all
that is great and good out of Mr.
Evans. The Headlight's general has
partially withdrawn his forces from
McLaurin, and is now courting a
conflict with others. Just how it
will all end is mere conjecture, but
we do not think we are far out of it
when we say that Senator Irby
should wash his linen elsewhere than
in the convention, and if he persists
in raising a rumpus in the Reform
camp he will be summarily bounced.
The Reformers do not want anyone
to draw a sword on them, and when
they see a man so unappreciative as to
throw away a nice scabbard that
was presented to him by them, they
will look upon him as ungrateful
-and will find somebody who can
appreciate such a good thing.
It does seem really strange that as
soon as a politician begins to feel
his strength failing him he at once
makes for Tillman's scalp, and he
always gets left.
A western exchange wants to know
how any farmer can conscien.tiously
vote for any political party whose
whole tendency of legislation is to
uce prices of all products of the
farm, ke gold sole master of the
situation ; m,. ny farmer, who has
-watched the trend orts-.markets
for the past few years, can co liiin~
to vote to enrich the already rich
and further reduce the products of
labor, is one of those things that
borders close on the marvelous.
An exchange says that the great
game of freeze-out being played by
Wall street on the money question is
still going on. N{ot satisfied with de
stroying our silver, they have now
-started a movement to corner the
greenbacks and thus force the gov
ernent to retire them. Two banks
already have more than one-third of
the entire amount in their posses
sion. Surely we are in the hands of
the gold lords of Wall, who are try
ing to sap the very life out of the
nation and bring the people to a
level with the serfs of the old world.
How long will the people stand it ?
We reproduce the following from
the Washington D. C., Silver Knight:
And Abraham was very rich in
cattle, in silver and in gold."-13
Genesis, second verse. This is the
first mention of money in the bible.
It will be noticed that silver is men
tioned before gold. The next place
where money is mentioned in the
bible is in the 23d chapter, 16th verse
of Genesis, which reads as follows :
"And' Abraham hearkened unto
Ephram and Abraham weighed to
Ephram the silver which he had
named in the audience of the sons of
Hieth, four hundred shekels of silver
carrent money with the merchant."
It will be seen that during Abra
ham's time silver was the current
money mn use.
In our last issue we advocated the
passage of the Ellerbe resolution
i. e., to have the convention make
the necessary levies and appropria
tions to run the government and
then do away with one session of the
Legislature. We have 'given this
matter serious thought, and the more
we think of it the more are we con
vinced of the wisdom of such a
course. The omission of a session of
the Legislature this winter will not
inconvenience the people near so
much as the levy of an additional
50,000 tax. The people are now in
such a financial condition that the
saving of money to them is greatly
appreciated, but if to do away with
this session of the Legislature will do
an injustice to any partictular public
int-rest we would not advocate it.
The onlv interest interfered with
that we Can see bV the conivention
taking 4ueh a step would be
to cut the members of the
Legislature out of a few weeks of
lung pract'ce.
The Ellerbe resolution, if adopted,
will not only make the necessary tax
levies and appropriations, which will
answer the purpose, but it will cut a
small amount off from each taxpay
er's tax receipt. We therefore favor
the resolution if its purpose can be
carried out without embarrassment
to the State government.
COURT.
The October term of the general
sessions opened here last Monday,
with Hon. R. C. Watts as presiding
judge.
As soon as the court was organized
the judge presented his commission,
which was duly filed and recorded
by the clerk.
This being the last term of the
court for this year no special charge
was delivered to the grand jury.
The solicitor handed out the bills
of indictment, and in a short time
the court was ready for work.
True bills were found in the fol
lowing cases:
Ladsen Lawson, Solomon McDuffle
and Will Richardson, housebreak
ing and burglary; two different
cases.
William Thomas, larceny of lve
stock.
Solomon Hatfield, burglary and
larceny.
Julius Thomas, larceny of live
stock.
Ben F. Fleming, Harvey L. B.
Hodge, Henry Reddin and Monroe
Peters, murder.
Welborn Deas, Gus Deas, William
Dickson and Powell Dyson, house
breaking and larceny.
Elias Lee Sims, disposing of prop
erty under lien.
Michael J. Blackwell, assault and
battery with intent to kill.
Pinckney Pearson, assault and
battery with intent to kill.
The solicitor nol prossed the fol
lowing cases:
Lou Collins, assault and battery of
a high and agrvated nature.
EdIward e~kwell and Hattie
White, adultery.
Palme Ard and Susan Hicks,'adul
tery.
TRIALS.
William Thomas, guilty; eighteen
months in the chain gang, or same
term in the penitentiary.
Ladsen Lawson, guilty; same sen
tence.
Solomon Hatfield, guilty; three
months in chain gang or same term
in the penitentiary.
Pinckney Pearson, guilty; six
months in chain gang and $50 fine.
Julius Thomas, not guilty.
Henry White, not guilty.
Elias Lee Sims, not guilty.
GRAND JURY REPORT.
To His Honor R. C. Watts, Presiding
Judge:
The grand jury, having passed o'i all
claims placed in their hands, and having
disposed of such business as has been
brought to their attention, submit this
their presentment:
We have examined, through committees,
the books of trial justices, and found them
correct and kept in a neat condition and
all moneys accounted for. They report
the morals of the' people in their juris
diction good, very little liquor sold unlaw
fully, and a great improvement in the ob
servance of the law.
We have examined the books of the
treasurer, auditor, school commissioner,
aheriff and clerk of the court in a cursory
manner, not thinking it necessary to go
into a minute examination, as the State
officers will do in a short time in the pre
sence of the foreman. We found them, as
far as we are capable of judging, in good
condition, well kept, and all moneys prop.
erly accounted for.
We have inspected the dispensary and
found everything in a neat and orderly
condition, the law rigidly enforced except
in one particular-the name of the buyer
Is not always recorded, and we r ecommend
that this feature be more strictly enforced.
From information from different sources
we consider it a model dispensary.
The report of the county commissioners
has been handed us as the law requires.
The supervisor thinks that a good deal of
money has been saved the county in the
different expenditures, and we wish to
congratulate the present board on their
economy and management.
We find in the commissioner's office,
nithe following amounts :
188788. 2w-.........$ 70.47
188889...................... 27.41
1890-9.......... .......... 30.
1891 92..................... 369 83
89293.....................1;20.97
189394......................2079.99
Total.. .................1507.1()
We recommend that the Legislature pass
a law that will enable the county to bor
row the money and p~ay the back indebt
edness, and run the cou..ty on a cash basis
in the future.
We desire to return thanks to his Honor
ad the solicitor and county officials for
courtesies shown. Respectfully,
J. HI. McCouarz Foreman.
