NEWBERRY, S. C,
TtIURSDAY, SEPT. 22, 1887.
It'looks as if the centennial year
is going to pass without any obser
vance by the people of Newberry.
The political cauldron in this
County will begin to boil early in
the new year, from present indica.
tions. From what we can learn it is
beginning to "simmer" already.
Nothing like making it lively for the
boys.
The celebration of the centennial
of the adoption of the federal con
stitution took place in Philadelphia
last week. All of the Governors of
the original thirteen States were
present with their staffs. It was a
grand affair well befitting the occa
sion.
One hundred years of American
history marks wonderful progress in
every department of art and science.
It is well occasionally to review the
past and contemplate our history.
A personal difficulty recently oc
curred at Manning between Editor
Dinkins of the Times and Editor
Witherspoon of the Enterprise. Mr.
Dinkins struck Mr. Witherspoon
with a cane but the belligerent ed
itors were soon separated. The diffi
culty grew out of a controversy in
the two papers over the management
of the county finances. Money will
make even editors fight though it be
other peoples' money.
Col. Fred Grant has been nomi
nated by the Republicans of New
York for Secretary of State. The
Democratic newspapers say that the
Republicans hope to elect him on
his father's reputation. This is very
cruel to young Grant. He should
show them that he has merit of his
own and that hie means to stand
on it. We do not believe that the
fact that he is his father's son will
either help or retard him very much
in securing the prize.
We see it stated that the world's
suppjy of wheat is sufficiently large
to keep the price down and insure
cheap bread-stuff. The available
supply in the United States is esti
mated at 500,000,000 bushels. Says
a cotemporary:
"This insures plenty for home con
sumption and for export, if necessa
b-, ut the price is so low that very
at e e ~~~~e a farmer
after paying the expenses of trans
portation to a market.
Taking the situation altogether.
with a big corn crop in the South this
year and cheap flour, the prospect for
the Southern farmer is much better
than that of the Western producer,
who can only raise one crop which,
by reason of its great abundance, he
is compelled to sell at a low price.
If our Southern farmers could only
be induced to raise their food sup.
plies at home, the South in ten years
would be the most prosperous part of
the United States. .No matter how
cheap wheat and. meat can be bought
in the WVest, it is true economy to
make our own food supplies."
- This is very true and we believe
our farmers are convinced that it is
better for them to raise their own ra
tions at home than to buy them from
the West, it matters not how cheap
they may be, and,as far as practicable
they are practicing this rule. The
corn crop the present year is very
good and we believe the acreage is
considerably larger than usual.
We take it that the condition of
the farmers another year will be
much better than it has been for some
time past. The cotton this year is
going to turn out very fair, although
not as large as was at one time ex
pected. The farmers who bought on
liens, are paying up very well as a
rule, but are spending but little mon
ey. If the farmer can become pros
j.erous all business in our section
will revive.
The Augusta Chronicle urges the
education of women as important to
fit them for the trades, and to make
them better qualified for the duties
of life and the necessities in many
cases of earning a livelibood. It
says:
"Tife time for the practical educa
tion of women has come. It is as
*much the duty of the State to train
women in the trades, the arts and
the sciences as it is to train men.
Thaeir capabilities to exact from the
world a living have been practically
demonstrated and their right to de
mand of our government technical
'aid industrial education that they
may be the better prepared to as
sume responsibilities and discharge
duties in life, is just."
There can be little doubt that our
women and girls should be educated,
as wcll as our boys. Even if it is
not necessary for them to enter the
trades to earn a living, their educa
tion is important, for the mothers of
ence over the training of their sons.
The impressions and instructions of
car
the boys in the home circle have a co
great deal to do with the future life
and usefulness of the boys, who are
C,
growing up. quit
By all means our girls should be sevE
educated. Ho

Aeeuued of Drawing on the
Bank when he had no Money.
Special to Newos and Courier.
SUMTER, September 19.-Quite a rip
ple of excitement was caused here this
morning by a fight between Col. R. M.
Wallace, president of the defunct Sum
ter National Bank, and Mr. P. G. Bow
man. It seems that in examining the
bank papers the receiver found among
other vouchers drafts amounting to over
$.,000, which h:.d been drawn by Mr.
Bowman on the bank last year. Col.
Wallice mentioned this fact to a gentle
man in tewil and added that Mr. Bow
man had no money in the bank when
the drafts were drawn.
Mr. Bowman heard of the remark and
meetiitg Col. Wallace on Main street, in
front of the Courthou,e thi. morning,
asked him about it. Col. Wallace re
plied that he had said it, whereupon
Mr. Bowman said that he did have mo
ney in the bank when he made the
drafts and told Col. Wallace that he was
a liar, adding that he thought Wallace
was as deep in the bank robbery as Bart
lett. Wallace gave Bowman the lie, and
the latter immediately struck him across
the head and shoulders twice with a light
bamboo cane which he, carried in his
hand. Col. Wallace caught the cane
out of Mr. Bawman's hand, when Bow
man drew his pistol. Several bystanders
then rushed up and parted the combat
ants. Poth n ere arrested but were re
leased after being summoned before the
Police Court in the morning, when all
the facts and circotnst.dnwes of the case
will receive an offivial investigation.
At the time the drafts referred to were
1 drawn Mr. Bowman had money in the
bank amounting to about $4,000, about
$600 being hi.4 own, and about $3.340 be
longing to two clients, for whom he had
collected from the Wilmington, Colum
bia and Augusta Railroad Company on
judgments obtained against that com
pany. Col. Wallace says that there was.
no deposit credited to Mr. Bowman on
the book" when the drafrs were made.
There is a report on the streets that
Receiver Phillips has discovered an error

NEW YONK, September 19.-The Rev.
Dr. McGlynn made an address before
the New York Association of Met hodist
Preachers, th!s morning, which lasted
an hour and a half, and w:as listened to
by 500 ministers an.1 others. McGlynn
referred to his excommunication -for
preaching the Chri -ianity I was brought
up in," and after referring to the pecu
liar position in which lie found him:elf
in f.Lcing a body so distinctively repre
sentative of the Protestant religion, he
presented Henry George's land theories
and defended them as representing the
cause of humanity.
When the speaker had conclu-led, a
gentleman offered a resolution of th:mks
to Dr. McGlynn for his "able, eloquent
and instructive address," and n ishing
him God-speed in his effort to diffuse
the doctrine of "the fatherhood of God
and the brotherhood of mat." This
created great confusion, and after a tur
bulent scene, which one clergyman cha
racterized as resembl:ng a he::r garden,
the resolution was amendedl by a clause
that allowed menmbers to reserve the
right of individual opinion concerninug
land theories, and wvas adopted.

The Sumter Street Fight.
Special to News and Courier.
SUMTER, Sept. 20.-At the Mayor's
Court this mortning two charge~s were
brought against Mr. P. G. Bowman, as
the outcome of his assault on Col. R. M.
Wallace yesterday. The ilrst wvas a
charge of fighting and disorderly con
duct on the streets. Mr. Bowman
pleaded guilty to this count andl was
lined twenty-five-dollars.
The s'cond charge was for e-arry;ing
a concealed weapon. Mr. Bowman
pleaded not guilty, and quite a number
of witnesses were examined. The charge,
however, was not sustained, and the
case was dismissed.
Mr. Bowman made a protest against
the fine for disorderly conduct, on the
ground that it was excessive. The
Court refused to reduc~e it, however, on
the groundl that it desired to put a stop
to difficulties between gentlem,en of
high standing on the street, and if a low
tiue wvele imposed it would have no ef
fect. Mr. R. D. Lec was presenit as
counsel for Col. Wallace, but no charges
were preferred against that gentleman.

at all strange, and surely no harm for
Lester to change his opinion if he saw
