LAURENS, 8. C, Sept. 24, 1896. ~? Last Monday's Fight. The big battle over tho name of the new county carved out of the sacred soil of Edgefield was fought out on Saturday tho 14th of Septomber. Tho name was recorded "Butler1' with tho Hon. O. D. Tillman, brother of Benja min, as Godfathor. Benjamin had ob tained loavo of absoncc and it was dur ing his furlough that tho infanta was christened. While tho cats are away the mice willl play. Monday tho lUth Benjamin returned to his desk and pro ceeded at once to kick up a mighty rumpus, claiming that a porsonal in jury and insult had boon put upon him by the convention, reformers and con servatives, in baptizing tho county. Ho '??oi the floor and flourished tho party whip with a vongeanco, hectoring tho whole lay out, thrashing all around and about, putting his stripes indiscrim inately, finally dropping from the high tragic* to the lachrymoso and shedding tears of anguish upon tho altar of Re form. Ho bitterly crlod aloud that no body had rebuked his brothor Gcorgo, who had said in his speech that ho prayed God that the Stato might have as successor to General Butler his equal, but he doubtod if sho should bo so fortunate. In tho teeth of this, to . jrame a county "Butler" was an outrage to Benjamin. There was rout, riot and confusion worse confounded, the President of the convention, legging fore and aft for tho Edgofiold Senator, ^han thero was a mighty stampede to tho rihgmaster'by reformors and a fow conservatives and its namo became Saluda. Xjongrossman Wilson and Senator Irby rfrght manfully resented the irate gentleman's disposition to ?tyhip thorn into the pack. Irby stood to his vote and gave to Tillman in his teeth that tho namo Butler would sur vive when that of Tillman would bo In oblivion. The whole thing would bo ridiculous were it not disgraceful,?in this, that men sent to represent a decent consti tuency, who had solemnly performed an aot of important organic legislation but two days before, at the lash and bidding of a spoilt whimperer were driven like poor curs to rescind their aotion. Oh, the pity that the names of tho repentant reformors and frightened mugwumps who changed their votes, must bo recorded in tho day's journal and bo a permanent rocord of their oringing servility. That there is no way to ro-writo or obliterate th'o re cord, that must come to tho eyes and ears of their children. Conservatives had little to do with the wrangle, to their groat credit.? Somo of those so classed, alarmed at tho noiso and rattle, changed their votes, but truly rated they are only half-broods. # * * Drainngo Law* The grand jury at tho instance of many persons recommended that all 8troamft. be cleared of obstruction with in th'^Lia/jUys and that owners failing be thaMMaicted. If tho county Super visor falls to indict, then tho Grand Jury will procood against this officer by indiotmont. Recognizing tho diffi culties surrounding tho Supervisor,who desires to do his duty thoy recommend ed that the court order an inspector to his assistance, to survey tho streams and procure ovidonce against tho par tlos in default. Hero is tho difficulty? the court could not order an inspector employod as there is no provission in the law for it. Tho people must tostify in court as in othor cases of violating the law, if they oxpoct redress. Lot those interested, and tho majority of the people are, apply to the Legisla ture to authorlzo tho Supervisor to om ploy an inspector at an oxponso not to exceed a specified sum and the law can be carried out. In tho meamwhile the Judgo cannot order a dollar paid ex cept as provldod by law. Tho Legisla ture convones soon and our pooplo whoso health and flolds are affected . should soo our Roprcsentativos and make known their wishes. Tho law has but ono log to stand on now and a crutch. A mend it at once. *** Irby County. Our Laurons compatriots havo caught tho opidomic and want a new county carved out of Laurons, ombracing -^Hunter, Jacks and part of Scufilctown and Cross Hill Townships. Clinton is to be tho Court IIouso, a laudablo am bition. Wo will only tako occasion to say that tho hundred court houso9 in London Town don't mako up that busi ness centor and ono in a thousand of tho inhabitants can't locato wherotho Lord Chief Justice makes his rulings. When ' a town gets to bo a town indeed the court house is usually the smallest con cern in it. Wo want our county solid as it is?it is small and woll bounded and con von ic.nl. loth- people. Lot tho noblo pooplo of Clinton build thoir cot ton mill and other industries grow in magnitude and wo will rejoico in thoir growth and dovelopmcnt. No objections to the namo. ? * * ? Htlll Apologising. In the interesting whitewashing do bate of last Thursday, In tho Conven tion Senator Tillman savagoly attacked tho meek and lowly Consoryativos who hold seats in that body. Ho was called to order for unparliamentary languago by Talbert, who held the gavel. Tho Senator mado tho necessary apologle* after ho had sufficiently, "displaced the mirth (and) broko tho good moetlng, frith most admired dlsdrdor." Tho poor condemned conservatives sub mitted written apologies for thoir neg ative votes on tho Patterson resolves. They are as mild mannerod a gang as ?ver souttlod ship or cut a throat. Long fasting has an offeot on tho spirit of heroes and desperadoes alike. buktng the "State" Newspaper. When the liberty of the Press Is gono all other liberty is dead. The State was right in printing its vlow of Gov. Evans' ruling on the Saluda ques tion. The resolutions passed by tho convention are mere sound and fury and do not vindicate President Evans. The evidenco is in and tho facts are out. The verdict will bo made up by a bigger 'x>dy than the little convention, and Governor?President Evans must at last abide that verdict. The State's voico and the voices of a multitude of witnesses will ring out The State, too, must bo its own judge of tho proprlotios. ? ** Convention Proceedings. A petition from tho county commis sioners of Laurens County was pre sented by Mr. Irby, praying tho Con vention to enact such a clause in tho Constitution as shall require all trial justices to sentence potty offenders convicted by thorn to tho chain gangs in tho vnrious counties. And that all teams, horses, mules and wagons bo mado Ilablo to road duty. This Is matter for pure legislation and ought not to encumber the. consti tution. Put such matters In the consti tution and they will troublous should a change bo desired. *** Delogato Henry. In our last Issue It will havo boon noted that Delogato H. L. Honry had not boon placed upon any of tho com mittees of tho convention. The Presi dent of tho convention has appointed Mr. Honry to tho Important commit too of Rights of Suffrage and that of County Government. * * * Gag Law. Wo aro surprised to lind Mr. Aldritch of Barnwoll, advocating gagging tho Press. However, thcro aro so many things done and said in this world that for comfort and convcnloncy ought to bo supprossod and hushed up, we should not bo surprised perhap?. * ** Lot nobody bo so simple or unsophis catod as to conjecture that the rumpus over tho llttlo incident of changing the namo of a now county will produco a division among tho Reform Leaders.? Thoro is llttlo in a namo, "Aroseby any other name, would smell as sweet." Tho leaders will shako hands and kiss ovor tho bloodless chasm. Booty and beauty are both from Immemorial rec ognized causes of war. The age of chivalry is gono; old Homer occupied tho field with tho fair and fickle Helena, and faithful Ponolopo; Shakcspraro ex hausted the thomo with tho vo)motions and irrcsistablo Cleopatra: and the he rocs of the futuro must bo embalmed as tho mon of might who looked after and kept closo to tho "stuff-" At Atlanta, on Wednesday President Clovoland was kept waiting until after six o'clock, before he was allowed to touch tho button at Gray Gables and sot tho wheels "going round." Tho militia woro slow to move and moved slowly. Wo had thought that they were abolished by "Georgia Scenes." Again thoy had a half dozen long wind ed speeches. This Is anothor terrible In tl id ion that Southerners must always submit to and imposo upon others. It is torriblo to contemplate. #** Wo havo forebornc to make extended comment on tho multitude of measures introduced in tho convention and pro posed for parts of tho organic law.? When the reports of committees are up for discussion tho real work of the con vention is on. Tho mass of tho matter is proper subject for legislation and not for tho organic law. Things aro tak ing shape now and tho waste basket is being rapidly filled. ?*# In sentencing tho parties convicted of retailing last wook Judge Barle said that liquor selling was a bad businoss for thoso logally authorized to sell ; a businoss that ho did not admire Ho did not fail to say also that those who bought from tho Illicit sollors were as bad as tho sollors: Frank L. Stanton's Dedicatory Odo at tho opening of tho great Southern exposition places him alongside of Ton nyson dead, and c.'owns him beyond cavil as tho Poot Lauorateof this land. North, South. East and West. # # * Wo dislike to uso harsh cpithots.? As a rule they are useless to magnify or minify naked faets. TillmatVs attack upon M. C. Butlor, a private citizen, in tho Constitutional Convention, wo will not doscond to charactoriso In torms. Genoral Butler's published expressions as to tho ineldontmoro than sulllclcntly moots tho case. G, P. Smith, Supervisor of Registra tion for this county, has been appointed Clerk of Senator Irby's committee," "Declaration of Rights" in tho con stitutional convention. Tho groat big exposition opened at Atlanta on Wcdnosday last. Thoso Atlantoso doservo succoss. We trust it may bo a glorous dawn of a new ora of prosperity for our grand Pouthorn scotlon. *% Thoro are too many signs of peace in tho Convention to suit Sonator Till man. Now that Wilson, Irby & Co., and tho Conservatives, manifost pacific symptons tho Junior Sonator pulls his hair. Dologato Bnist. ofTorod a resolution that all delegates bo requested to fllo their autographs with tho Secretary of Statoand moved Immediato consldora tlon. It wont nom. con. like*hot oakoa. Tho State, has displayed great enogy and ontorprifio by its full and aocurato reports of tho Convention proceedings, and tho county Pross is largely in doptcd to it. ?*? Tho boss whipper-in of tho Conven tion handles his Instrument with 6tich skill that his followors never fail to dance to the music. What's What. You must first settle the facts; then the environment, then the emergency; and thus tho intent. The celebrated comparison Instanced by a North Caro lina Judge concerning of a barnyard rooster is to the point. If any layman is curious about this case he can see us at our leisure as the story is too long for insertion hero. #?* Maj. Barker,of Charleston, urgod the only sensible view; that tho convention had no right to force a voto on tho question. ? * ? Delogato Wharton's proposition for a $3.00 por diem for Legislators will probably bo oinbodlod in tho constitu tion. Captain Shell and the Baptist Minis try. To tho EJitor of The Greenville New?. In an editorial in to day's papel J'O'l refer to the rumor that the Hon. G. W. Shell was contemplating entering the Baptist ministry and indulge in some remarks that are no mere creditable to you than they are complimentary to Captain Shell. As the rumor, if I mis take not, first gained publicity through your columns, you will pleaso do Cap tain Shell and his friends the favor to print the following note from the pastor of the church of which ho is a member, written several weeks past in roply to a letter ol inquiry as >to tho correctness of tho report. Ho says: "Captain Sboll contemplated nothing of tho kind that I am awaro of. Tho re port gained publicity through his politi cal enemies with the hopo of ruining his religious as well as political influence.? The whole thing began from his con ducting a prayer meeting last Monday night. I was compelled to be away from tho meeting thnt night, and the church unanimously requested Brother Shell to conduct it and he consented to do so. Mr. Shell has been einen his return from Congress a promp* attendant upon the sorviccs of hie church, and he hai not only lib3rally contributed to tho oausns that have made claim upon his church, but he has modcBtly contributed all that he could of his influence and thought to the Sunday school and other services of tho Lord's house. Besides, this, he lives a consistent Christian life and has the charity to speak kindly and in no CU9y severely of those who have dono all in their power to ruin him. His present course of active, consecrated service to his Master would naturally I suppose, lead those who know nothing of the piouiplings of a. devoted Christian li'o to say that ho was going into tho minis* try.

The most remarkable Water on the Market to-day which is Shown by its Analysis and Testimonials o!" the Most Noted Physicians of the Country. Read what a prominent merchant of Columbia, S. C, has to say for Harris Lithia Water. "I had long been affected with kidney troubles. I had tried all the mineral waters from Saratoga to Porter Springs. 1 had tried the Western waters and all others that I could hear of, and I have no hesi tancy in saying that none have benefited me even approximately as much as the Harris Lithia Water. I was using the Buffalo Lithia Water when I heard of this. I do not expect to use the Buffalo Water again. "When I went to Harris Lithia Springs? I had to be assisted out of my chair. After remaining two weeks I could get about as'good as anybody. It acted on me like a charm?quickly and effectively. This water is now being largely sold in Columbia, and I think every person who has tried it will agreo with me in the helief that it is the most re markable water in the country. From a simple interest in Buffering hu manity, I would like very much to see it given a trial. 0. A. BALDWIN, Columb Harris Lithia Water Co., Harris Springs, S. C. Abiibvillb, N.

Harris: \ We have been Belling the Harris Lithia Water for some m find it a ready seller; those who have tried it are loud in its praiscV doctors here regard it superior to either the Buffalo or LondonV Waters.
