"Officer" Stone, "individual" Mc. Nally and "kidnapped Blackwood are still receiving the attention of the Governors and Attorney Generals of Georgia and South Carolina. Solicitor Orr has said he would not be a candidate for re-election for Solicitor of the Eighth Circuit, and already there are a dozen candidates. The election is nearly two years off yet., Nothing like being in time. The employees of the Walker, Evans & Cogsweli Company have our thanks for an invitation to at tend the basket picnic to be given them by their employers, in Midland Park, on Saturday, May 14, 1887. We return thanks to the commit tee .for an invitation to attend the unveiling ceremonies of the monu ment which has been erected at hop n,.k"sville, Ky., to the unknown Con federate dead. The ceremonies take place on May 19, 1887. We are in receipt of a memorial sketch of Miss Elizabeth McQuerns, by Mrs. M. A. Lindsay, in a neat pamphlet form, price 25 cents. It is prepared for the special benefit -f her former pupils, many of whom are in this county. After the expenses of publication are paid, the balance goes to the erection of a monument to Miss McQuerns at Due West. For a copy address J. B. Bonner, Due West, S. C. There can be little doubt that Mr Rush ought to have paid the Ault -man-Taylor Company for the engine purchased of them and- used by him. but whether his wife could pledge her property for the debt, was thE Court. And the Supreme Court holds that under our law regulating the separate estate of the wife, she cannot bind her separate estate for' the debts of her husban.d, -The State Farmers' Alliance Cot ton Congress has been in session at Waco, Texas, during the past week. The object of their meeting was to arrange to engage in manufacturing wagons, argicultural implements, cot ton presses and oil mill machinery. They will get a charter from the Leg islature. and take up other branches of industry. Our farmers should manufacture more and buy less, and that less not on credit, if they ever expect to become rich and pros perous. Jefferson Davis has written a re view of General Wolseley's life of General Lee. Mr. Davis takes exZ ception to many of the English Gen eral's statements, and while not find ing fault with the superlative opinion of Gen. Lee's military ability ex pressed in the book, he shows very plainly that he considers Gen. Wol seley's criticisms of other Southern leaders unjust and unwarrantable. -.- The review is wrttten in a very caus tic style, and contains interesting -matter in the way of inside estimates of the relative value of the services of Confederate leaders. Mr. Edward McCrady, .Jr., of Charleston, thinks the number of Su preme Court Judges should be in creased from three to four. We think this would be a wise move. We be lieve that after each term of the court, when the cases heard are divided up each j'ustice has about on an ave.rage of one opinion a day to write until the next sitting of the court. This is too much work. How would it do to let the circuit judges sit with the Su preme Court, one, two or '.hree, at each term and alternate, and increase the Supreme Court in this way ? This seems to us to be the best way of increasing the court, and the most economical. Our moneyed men should go to work and build a cotton seed oil mill. They are paying institutions. Then Newberry should have a wood working factory, to make wagons, plow stocks, and all those things. These things give employment to intelligent and skilled labor, and would help more than anything else to build up our town. We desire to see it a manufacturing town and then we would fcel that it was on the sure road to permanent success. Then -Newberry should have a thorough system of graded public schools. These wouild surely follow the other industries mentioned and advocated - by the HERtALD AND NEWS. All these things we need and we -must hwa them too. School Commiss;on-r Sale-info i s#at there are in. the .Eanty 52 sciools su porgi in part bytie pdi hiag d-and o.these;forty are kept open foEfrom eight to ten sionths of tie;car. 'The:average salary of the teachers is about $350. The public fund is supplemented by tuition charges and the schools generally are working nicely. The public school runs only for about three months in the year, but, as will be observed, nearly all the schools in this county run for the full scholas tic year a :d the teachers are well paid and the public .is satisfied. It makes little difference, so far as this county is concerned, whether the pub. lic schools run for three or six months. The contract with the teacher is made apart from the public fund any way, and it is only used to help the patrons of the school pay the teach ers, and it is only so much for each school and whatever it iL.lls short in paying the teacher for the year has to be made up by the patrons, and it makes little difference to them whether it reaches over one, two, three. four or even six months. THEC N.&L.R.R. Engineer Charles Ellis, Jr., of the C. N. & L. R. R., has finished the prelimuinry survey of this road and submitted his report from which we make a few extracts. He says the road has been located for a distance of nineteen miles from Columbia through Lexington to a point near Chapin's mill. The road from that point to Pros perity is being located. This point of the road will be fed from the three townships which comprise what is known as the Fork of Lexington, and from Congaree and Hollow Creek Townships in Lexington County, and Nos. 9 and 10 Townships in New berry County. These townships have about twenty thousand inhabi tants, with more than 75,000 acres of land in cultivation, upon which large quantities of commercial fertilizers are needed. They produce from 15,000 to 20,000 bales of cotton, and wheat, oats and corn in proportion. The report speaks of the fine tim ber along the line from which no tur pentine has been cut. Of the inhab itants it says : The inhabitants of this section are generally of Dutch descent and are industrious and frugal, and it is rare to see a really poor man among them. There are but few neo-roes-the farms being generally small. The owner and his family . the.ir own ' Ths ars d ring from $8to C SM h e Three times the pres- ' -t Dumber of inhabitants could eadily be supported here, and there 1 s no section of the State more ealthy.--.-.-.-.-.-Tirty-four. iles from Columbia we reach the own of Prosperity, which has seven undred it,habitants. Leaving Prosperity the line -runs hrough a very fertile section tos ewberry C. H., which has a popu-e ation of three thousand. Cotton re eipts at this point are from fifteen o twenty thousand bales. Yearly I sales of merchandise about one mil ion dollars. There is a cotton millc ere running ten thousand spindles, ad three hundred and twenty looms. From Newberry the road will run hroug,h Nos. -2 and 3 townships into Jnion County and thence to Glenn prings. Engineer Ellis says that the cg ton alone, tributary to his road be ween Newberry and Spartanburg, will-be some 30.000 bales. The re port further says: I feel safe in stating that the coun try tributary to our line will support the roadi and pay a<-dividend on first 1 ost from the beginning, and each 1 year would develop a large increase. he section through which our line runs produces some forty thousand bales of cot,ton alone, and uses from eight to ten thousand tons of coin mercial fertilizers. Our local travel would be as good s any in the State, and from the fact of our line running through a high ridge country most of the way, with attractive surroundings, it is not nreasonable to cqunt on a full share f the travel to and from the moun tains. Running as the line does mostly n the ridges between the main water ourses. -the road bed will be a dry >ne and easily maintained. The soil is generally sand or gravel.] The estimated cost of the road, ready for business, at the present, price for such work, is $11,000 per, mile, and Mr. Ellis thinks it possible that it will be much less. Along the line of the road great interest has been manifested by the peojle. As an indication of this the townships interested have subscribed in bonds to the am.ount of $145,000, besides some $27,000 subscribed by individuals. With the subscription of Columbia Township (40,000) there would be a grand total of $212.000. Newberry will be asked to vote a subscription of $10,000 or $15,000 in orzler to senr the ror'l to this place. Petitions will be circulated in a few days to secure the signatures of the regisite number of property holders that the County Commissioners may order an election. President Moseley is very hopeful for the early success and completion of his road. Nevrberry cannot afford to let the road be built, as we said some time ago, without its touching this point, and the road can ill afford to leave Ne.wberry off the line. It will be mutually beneficial and the Iexpense should be shared. The amount asked of Newberry is small. President Moseley says if he does not build the road he will be able to return the money subscribed. That is fair. General Buckner has been nomi nated by the Democrats for Governor or Knuckr. l1ALL <IA'NrFACTORIES. One of the' great needs of tle South, and, in tact.- the greatest need, is for more si l manufacturing in stitutions. We have all the natural advantages for small ind ustries. Fine timber and plenty of it, is to be found along the swamps and rivers of many parts of South Carolina. We heard only the other, day where a man in this county had a contract with a western house to ship it timb-r in the rough suitable for wagons and plow stocks and such things, and hi is now engaged in cutting this timber and shipping it in the rough to be manufactured and sent back to us-in fact this same gentleman, we were informed, had just bought a car load of plow stocks manufactured in a different State. If these ianufacturing institutions can make money by having the tim ber shipped from us to them, why should there not be money in a fac tory right at the place where the timber grows. It does seem strange that we so long neglected to build more factories, and not alone cotton factories. If we ever expect to be. come a rich and prosperous people we must build more manufactories, and not depend entirely on cotton for our wealth. We do not believe that cotton growing should be aban doned, but we should build more fac tories and give employment to morE of our people. There is to be found in this coun ty fine timber suitable for wagon and buggies and plow stocks. Wh3 not have a factory and work it up and instead of having these article: shipped here, make them here an thus give employment to our peopl and help build up our section. Thousands of bushels of cottor seed are- shipped from this counti every year. Cotton seed oil mill are profitable institutions. Why no build a mill h^_re and keep the;see< and the profits from'the mill at home It cannot be aiswered that we hav not the money, for we believe there i plenty of money to be had for suci enterprises, if we could only get som enterprising citizens to take hold o these things and work them up. We must have these things to giv our own people employment, keel our money at home, and make ou own section prosperous. We hav one of thein t III, but we must diversify our in ustries, if we expect to keep apace it'3 the progress of other sections. MHE RIGHITS OF 3MARRIED) WO The recent decision of the Supreme ~ourt of South Carolina relative to he rights of married women is being ariously discussed, and in some in. tances we think very unwisely dis ussed. It is now the law of the tate, and severe criticisms of the Su reme Court cannot alter it, and in ted of mending the matter, if these riticisms do anything at all, they re calculated to create a disrespect or the1law and the powers that be, nd do more to incite to mob law han anything else. The Supreme ourt is not responsibfe for the law. 'his tribunal has nothing to do with naking the law. The only business f the Court is to interpret the law, Lnd when this is'done if it does not uit us we should not indulge in se ere strictures and unjust criticisms f the court, b)ut we should attempt o understand what the law is and ry to instil a respect for it, and if ve think it a bad law, advocate its epeal by the Legislature, the law naking power. It is right amusing, owever, to note with what show of earning some of our country cousins ~riticise this decision of the Supreme ourt and labor to show how little aw, the Supreme Court Judges know. Vhether they know little or much aw their decisions make up the law f the State and it should be our busi ess to inculcate a respect for these icisions, and thereby instil a respect for law, and in this way morc than any other keep down mob law and lawlessness. Able lawyers will no doubt differ n this question as is shown by a ivision of opinion in the court itself, but they will have respect for the pinion of the court which is the It can do no good t-> compare the ability of judges in criticising this decision, and such criticisms are un fair, unjui, andi can accomplish no possible good. Then why indulge in them. Better by far, try to find out what the law is, in the light of the de cision, and if it is a bad law or does not suit you try to get it repealed and have the legislature enact a bet ter law, or one that suits you. Powderly Denounced. CmecAGo, May 9.-The DJII es publishes the text of a long circular, said to have been sent out to all prominent Knights of Labor and Secretaries of~ Assemblies in California, Oregon, Colorada, Ne braska. Illinios, Michigan and Mis souri by lo,cal Assemblv 8,133 of Portland, Oregon. The circular de nounces General Master Workman Powderly for his rejoicing over the result of the Chicago municipal elec tion, and embodies resolutions passed by the Assembly demanding thai Powderly be deposed from office. The Daily Netws says that the Knights are on the eve of a great revolt, and the circular is the result of a con certed move by which, if the Assem bly is suspended, a general withdrawa from the order will follow. - . '-* KTOWNS JARRED INTO RUINS. Hundreds of Persons Killed by the I Earthquake. G cYA-:s, MEx.. May 8.-The earthquake of the third instant was accompanied by a volcanic eruption at Batrispe, which destroyed Mocte zuma, killing 150 persons and igni ting the woods in the vicinity. T'wenty-seven persons were also killed at Oputu by falling buildings. Many persons were injured at Grenada and Gusahar, which towr:s were almost completely destroyed. \EXICO STIII)ED UtP. CITY oF MEXICO, VIA GALVESTON. May s.-The government to-day re ceived its first information regarding the disastrous earthquake on the 3d instant at Batrispe, in the district of Moctezuma, Sonora. by which 150 persons lost their lives. The ear hr quake occurred at 5.30 p. in. At the same time volcanic eruptions began in the neighboring mountains, light ing up the summits for a long dis tance. The same afternoon earth quake shocks were felt throughout the State. The prediction is made here by local scientists th.t Mexico is about to undergo a general seismic convulsion, and recent records of earthquake shocks show that there is widespread volcanic activity from one end of Mexico to the other. Volca nic outbreaks are occurring near the Guatemalian border, as well as in the State of Sonora. TIIE GOOD OF TIIE QUAKES. TUcsox, AnizoNA, May 8-An other violent earthquake is reported in San Jose Mountains, forty miles south of Fort Iluachvo, in Sonora. General Forsyth has sent an explora. tion party to investigate. The party, just returned from the Santa Catalina Mountains, report that the canons are full of water which were bfought to the surface by the earthquake. This is a great boon for that region, as there are thousands of acres of good farming lands at the base of these mountains which only needed water to make them valuable. An other good effect of the earthquake is the opening of two large gold veins, which were discovered in the Santa t Catalina Mountains at a point where I the whole side of the mountain slid . down. Several prospecting parties have left to locate claims. 8 FCRTIIER DETAILS OF THE SEISMIC DIS TURBANCES IN MEXICO. SAN FRANcIsCo, May 10.-A spe .cial to the Call from Guaymas Mex f ico, dated yesterday, says: The shocks continue at Urs. Many e buildings have been cracked and ren dered unsafe. Nobody has been P hurt, but the inhabitants are leaving r as fast as possible. A large slice of e a mountain near town fell down with z.4+ b* 0 crash The friction of the .. . ;na-the rocks igi-ted the woods, caus.. belief that a volcano had broken .out. At the Delicias Santa Elena Mine the earthquake caused a great panic. The whole hill feel down, scattering rocks among 150 persons, but fortu nately nobody was hurt. Districts beyond telegraphic comn munication -have not yet been heard from. The authorities are waiting the arrival of couriers. A sp)ecial to the Call from Tucson, Arizona, dated yesterday, says: R1. J. Kerr has returned from a trip to Tres Alamos, in the San -Pedro Valley. He reports the earthquake fissure to be not less than twenty-five miles long. It extends from a short dis tance below Benson to fifteen miles, below Tres Alamnos. At the surface the fissure varies in width from six to eighteen inches. On one side the earth has sunk several inches. At places along the crack water burst forth but afterwards ceased flowing. The cra:k in many places is ,still open to a depth of several feet. From Empire ranch, seventy miles south of here, a fissure is also re ported. Reliable information states that when the earth opened water and mud were thrown to a great height. One spring in that vicinity went dry and two others doubka their volume of water, but on the cessation of the disturbance the dry spring com menced flowing and in the other two water diminished to its former state. The Young Russians Intent on Killing the Cz~ar. ST. PETERsBURG, May 3,-One of the persons who have just b.,een con victed of plotting against the Czar is a student named Oulianoff the son of a high Russian oflicial. During the trial lie displayed the highest in telligence, and maintained the most dignified bearing. Entering into a minute scientific dispute with Feodo roff the renowned chemist, he com pelled the latter to acknowledge that the prisoner was in the right and he himself in the wrong. DID NoT FEAR DEATII. At the final sitting Oulianoff made a brilliant speech. Hie declared that neither he nor his comparions feared death. Hie could imagine nothing more sublime than to die in an en deavor to deliver the unfortunate Russian people. Ilundreds of young men would imitate him till the Czar would be compelled to change his despotic system. PERSoNNEL OF TIlE PIISoNERS$. 'Tie prisoners with one excepltionl, are all intelligent, gentlemnanly and of good families. One said he intend ed to murder the Czar with a revol -er, hut afterwards thiought the bombs would be better. Five Negro Boys Killed at a shot. WILMNGTON, N. C.. May 5.-This morning six negro boys, from 13 to 17 years old, were at the wharf of the Wilmington Compress. preparmng to go across Cape Fear River to shoot rice birds. One, named Grant Best, had borrowed a double-barrel gun from a negro man, which. lie says. had no caps on the tubes, and he did not know it was loaded. While in the act of blowing out one of the tubes the hammer fell and one barrel was discharged, killing instantly Ed. Smith and B. Fillyaw, and Ben Conoly, F. B. Netles and Ed. Fillyaw were also shot and died soon after. Another boy named George Best was wounded in both arms, but it is likelyh-e will recover. Grant Best surrendered himself immediately -after the shooting, and claims it was accidental, which is grenerally believ I ed, as one of the wounded bays is his rothr.. Sout:ern Intearity. . U.nder the a' ove heading we print w on our fir,t page this week a dispatch w from New Haven. A correspondent fr in Aniusta Chronicle of 'May 9th.

Mr. Williams D went to Charleston and established a branch house under the firm of Hand, Williams & Wilcox, which continued for several years. when the business was divided, Mr. Williams retaining the Charleston business with r. Hland as special partner and capital ist, Mr. \Vilcox taking the Augusta business. This continued until the beginning of the civil war, n.t w.ich time llr. Hand was living in New York city temporarily. Upon. su; gestion o' Mr. Williams he ceiri through the lines (belore they wcre closed) and remained in the South 1 during the coutest. Various attempt, si were made to confiscate his property, and he was proceeded against per sonally as an alien enemy, all of which failed-Mr. Williams during these trials standing firmly by his old patron and partner. At the close of the war Mr. Hand being now an elderly man and wholly retired from all rctine business went back to his old home in Guilford, Ct., where he has since lived. In the meantime Mr. Willir.ms, as .a Southern man, -had gone along with the Charleston o buiness throughout the war, and ei associated several junior partners with him, Mr. Hand still leaving all of his capital in the business entirely in Mr. Williams' control. Some ten years since Mr. Williams went per sonally to Guilford and made his statement of account, showing a large fi indebtedness to Mr. Hand for original b capital and its increase by accumulat- g ed profits and interest, and funded the entire amount in his own obliga ' tion for some half million of dollars, without.security. payaqie practically _ at his option at 5 per cent. interest R annually. Not long after this Mr. Williams' time of misfortune catne, by reason of some enormous cotton o speculations of his New York partner which threatened to involve him in ctter ruin. At this juncture Mr. Hand stood by his- friend, not only refraining from pressing his own superior claims or seeking any security for them, but still leaving a his entire capital with Mr. Wiliams to enable him to weather the storir. In this Mr. W. succeeded after some very rough weather, and has since ten tully revaid M a _ ummulated indebtedness and inter. st, (as I infer from the tenor of theN lispath referred to), this being robably about all the actual in ormation your corresponctent got -om Judge Morris, guessing, at Lhe ] 'est and making up a sort of sensa ional paragraph about the whole am ransaction, which, in effect, is much am ess conclusive an instance of strict$3 :ommercial probity, good faith and 9 nutual confidence and truth than we be simple facts, of which this brief iarrative is a very meagre outline.

I do this that people who go on year after year paying out large sums of money to incompetent physi cians and receive no cure, or even reliet, or end in filling a premature grave, as was near lylmy case may be induced to make trial of the wonderful CCTICURA REMEDI::S. At the age of three months a rash made Its appearance on my face. A physician was called, he said teething was the canse. he pre scribed some coo.ing medicine, but the sores spread to my ears and head. Another M. D. was called. He professed to know all about the case, called It "King's Evil," and pre scribed gunpowder, brimstone, and lard mixed into a salve, but the disease continued. They could not do anything with it Another prescribed borax water and flour; another, linseed poultices. None of them did me any good at all, but made mIe worse. The disease continued unabated; it spread to my arms and legs. till I wss laid up entirely, and from continual sitting on the floor on a pillow my limbs contracted so that I lost all control of them, and was utterly helpless. 3ly mother would have to lift tne out and into bed. I could get around-the house on my hands amd feet, but I could not get -ry clothes on at all. and had to wear a sort or dressing gown. My hair had all matted down or falien oir, and my head, face, and cars were one scab. and 1 had to have a towel on my heat all the time in the summer to keep the flies off. My parents consulted a prominent physician and surgeon here inChicago (the other physicians before mentionad were or Dundas and 1am ilton, Canada), he sa d he could do nothing ror me, that the chances were that I would grow out of it, or that it would strike inward ly and kill me in 'ime. He wanted to cut, the Sinews or my legs so that i could walk, butI would not let him, for it I did get better Iwould have no control of them. The disease continued in this manner until I was seventeen years old, and one day In January, 1S79, in the Chicago Tribune, I read an account of your medicines. They de scribed my case so exactly that I thought, as a last resort, to give them a trial. When I first applied the CUTICCRA, I was w and ble m scratching myself, but when i applied 'it I went mmediately. something. I hatd not dione o ears, the effect was so soothing. .6 SPRING OPENING~ Of my immense stock of Spring ClotIh ing for men', youths and boys. The magnitude of my stock has never before een equaled.

I have tax\ed my best eforts in securing this class of goods from the best manufacturers int order to comp)ete with custom work, and to sell you these goods at one-half their I price. Many who have h-ad their clothes made have been patronizing the Empo rium of Fashion. "Whly?" Because theyi get as tiue a suit, and will lit ats well, and better trimmed, and equally as well made, and at a considerable less lost. The most important feature is that they can keep trying on until they can get a satisfactory fit and run no risk, as they usually do wheni having them mnade to; order. HATs.
