The present proprieo have had charge of the HERALD AND N EWS just ve year to-day. On the 9th of last March they brought out their first pa per. It has been to them a year of hard work, but amidst .his toil they have had much to enc,Lage and to stitnu late them to renewed efrts. With no capital but the little brains and nus Res we possesed, it was with so misgiving that we undertook the work. But the people of Newberrs have been kind to us. Our business in all dlepart ments has grown and we are adding new subscriber.: every week. There is I room for more names on our list, how ever, and those who are not subscribers should rose no time in having their one ea tes placed on the list. We celebrate this, our first ainiver sary, by presenting the HERA.LD AND) NEws this week in an entirely new dress. We hope at an early day in the future to naike other inmprovements in the paper. Being naturally ntiodest, we do not often speak of ourse_ves, and have no prkises to make, only to say that if hard work and close attention can give the people of Newberry a good nwspa per we propose they shall have it in the Hi:iving ANt NEWS.

The New York Herald says: "The tendency of our pension legislation business is a mania," and there is much truth in the assertion. The pension agents and lobbyists at Washington exhibit iore interest in the matter thaa the real soldiers, for whom the pensions are ostensibly intended. If the old soldiers really needed the money we presume there would be very few, even in the South, Who would raise an.v ol)jection to giving them even a hun dred million. The Herald states that in 1871 the country was paving, in pensions, about $34,l00,(H0 a year. In seven years it had fallen ott to 27,(NO, 0(K) annually. These payments were rushed up under H;yes' administration until, in 1881, the pay roll for pensions was $50,000,000. In 1S85 it was $U5,000, 000. In 188 it is estimated that it will take $8,000,0(N) to pay for pensions, and possibly, with other legislation in tended to be got through, it will take a round $100,000,000 appropriation. The Herald concludes: "If the soldiers really needed an annual hundred million, the country would pay it. In 1873, however, when there were far more soldiers alive than at present, General C --t, assuredly a sympathetic authority as to their wants, believed that $27,0(M),1p) i year as pensions was enough. Mr. Hayes, however, in a monment of culpable weakness, open,_d the sluices and the flood runs. 'he pension lobby is one of the strongest in Washington. Pension lawyers and pension agents revel in a new industry. They clamor for the breaking down of every hearer between theni and the Treasury. Clubs which call themselves 'Grand Armies' frame bills and demand more money. The tone of these demands is truculent and offensive. Whoever says a word against all the money an army post requires is a traitor, and, as experience shows in such matters, the mere sight of money inspires a rage for more. It i- a mania, acute and growing, and full of danger to the finances of the country." And thus it is that the money goes. The politicians and presidential aspirants are afraid to oppose anything, for fear they will lose the army vote. That was a ringing and telling speech of Senator Vest in the Senate the other day on this question. The large sur plus in the Treasury is an injury to the country. It induces too many to be seeking help from the Federal Govern ment. A smaller surplus will reduce the number of aplilicati6ns for aid from the Federal Government, in the shape pensions, education, and so on. Judge Norton has decided that the Act of the Legislature, authorizing a Township to make a subscription to railroads is unconstitutional. The full text of his decision is published on the first page of this pap)er. Article 2, section 20), to. -whichi refer ence is had in the (decision is as follows: "Every Act or Resolution having the force of law, shall relate to but one sub ject, and that shall be expressed in the title." Article 9, section 8, reads as follows : "The corporate authorities of Counties, Townships, School IDistricts, C'ities, Towns and Villages, may be vested with power to assess and collect taxes for corporate p)urposes; such taxes to be uniform in respect to persons and property within the jurisdiction of the body imposing the same. And the General Assembly shall require that all the property, except that heretofore exempted within the limits of munici pal corporations, shall be taxed for the payment of debts cont racd under authority of law." It will be seen from this section of the Constitution that the same reasoning by which Judge Norton reached the conclusion that voting subscription to railroads was not within the meaning of the corporate puipjoses of a Town ship.would apply to a County. We do not believe Judlge Norton's decision will hold. This case comes up in A bbeville, andl is made by citizens of Ninety-Six Town ship, who were opposedl to being taxed for the railroad. The case will, of course be carried to the Supreme C'ourt for a final adjudication. rlThere is difference of op)inioni anmong good law vers as to the correctness of Judge Nor ton's decision. Until lhe is reversedl, however, his decision is the law of the case. It is stated in the: p)apers that twvo men were tried recently in the city of Phi ladelph ia for mi urdler. They were bakers, and sonme of their customers had died from poisoning, the poison being in the coloring usedl in the cakes. One w.as given six months imprison mnent and the other nine. The defense was that they were ignorant of thme poison in the coloring used. We men tioni this simly to show the importance of having stringent laws against thme adulteration of -food. This wvas a very light p)unishiment. The public has no way of discovering the adulterated and po isonous food, but those who prepare it should know what they are furnishing their custo mers. and if they kill any, ignorane should be no excuse or defense. No dIoubht a quantity of our food is adlulter ated, and while it may not kill outright, yet it is injurious to health, and helps to shorten life,. We should have strin gent laws oni this sub~ject, and when the adulteration is disco,vered,. the guilty should be made suItfer for the wrong imiposedl on the p)ublic. A tariff bill has beenm introduced in ('ongress by M1r. MIills, which is in tended as a conmproimise measure. It makes considIerable reduction on nmny of the ncetssaries of life. It is said another bill will beC introduced the p)resenmt week, by M1r. Randall. of Pen nt sylvania-one which he himself says lie has spent t wo years of labor and study in preparing. Tlhe baill is opening. We call atten tion to the cardl in this issue of the HIon. S. Pope. He announces his intention t. be a candl(idate for the State Senate. H~xersawacfl active and zealous mmeof the Legislature for four years. Thei~ oies, however, belong to the people, and they must say who shall represent them.

Amongst those inl attelnlance we notiec the name of F. L. Hix, from Newherrv. h'llis fleeting was held very quietly. h'lley fixed the date of their State (ovleltion, to Ie hel in Columbia MIay 1. T'hey'\ say hey do not propose to run a State ticket, but will simiply make the fight on the National: and ('o'igressional elections. '1'!ese fellows work very quietly. 'T'he Delin:ocrat" should keep awake and watch. Charleston is raising .oney for the purpose of erecting a You1ng Men's Christian Asso'-iation buildin'r in that city. It is to be ho1ped th.it the build ing movement will be revived in New berry, and a suitable building erected at this place. We have the men here who are willing to contribute to such an enterprise, and we have also a lot of promising young men who need just such an institution. For the Associa tion to be successful there must be a place for the young men to go that is both confortable and pleasant and at tractive. Such a place can only be had by putting up a building adapted to the uses for which the work of the Associa tion desires it. No bet t 'r investment can be made by our busine:s men and the fathers of this community than that which looks to the protection and care of the young men among us. Upon them soon must fall the duties and responsilbilities both of the aflitirs of church and State. All that is needed is for the right men to take the lead in this matter and it will be accomplished. For the Herald and News. A Card. To Tn i: I)mlocRiArI(' oTI:Rs OF N:w BERtHY CoUNTY: A year ago I said that I would retire from political life at the close of my Legislative term, 1 fully intended to do so; fri ends, however, fronm diff'erent see tions of the county have insisted that I shall not retire, and I have therefore concluded to be a candidate for the of tice of Senator at the next primary lee tion. My views upon the difTerent ques tiolls now agitating the minds of the people, are fully understood. 'Iy course for the past f.ur years in the lower House of the Legislature is before you. I recognize the fact that the officers be long to the people and that the office holder is their servant. Should you elect me, I shall serve you to the best of my ability. Respectfully, etc., SAMPSON PoPE. Newberry, S. C., March 7, 18SS. Solicitor of the Seventh Circuit. [Edgefield Chronicle.] It is announed( that Maj. David Rt. D)uncan, of Spartanburg, has expressed his intention to dleclinec res.lectionm to the office of Solicitor of the Seventh Circuit-Newberry, Laurens, Spartan burg and Union. Among others, Mr. 0. L. Schumpert, of the Newberry bar, is mentioned as a probable candidate for the place soon to be made vacant. We migrht say problable and prominent, for Mr. Sehumpert has every gift anod r commendation to make him not only prominent in the race, but successful. As an attorney he hats devoted his studly and practice in a very great dlegree to the criminal law, wherein he is q1uick aind readly at every possible point learned, keen, sagacius. And( wh en to these qualities are added the wvell known fairness and benevolence of Mr. Sch um pert's character, who shall say that any man can lie found to till this place more honorabily or more vigorously, for the State of South Carolina, than 0. L. Schumpert, of' Newberry? We are out side the circuit to lbe sure; and if it lie not our duty, it certainily is our heart felt lelasture to second( the canidac(ty of our hioniored and( high toned neighbor across the Saluda. More Comiblnes. [New York H erald.] This time it is a mutton and lamb trust. TIhe test im ony taken yesterday ando prinitedl elsewhere shows that it is the same old( fiend in a new disguise. Tro-daly it is oil or plate glatss or enve lopes, andl later on it is the p)oor man's imultton soup) or Irish stew. No miatter what it is, the object is to pool1 enough capiital to get the niarket by the throat and( then to squeeze the dollars out of it.

The Board fixes the price, and the farmer, poor fellow, is comupelled to subnmit. Then, when a dealer wants to buy of this Board, the first <question is, Does he be long to the comibine? Is he in the ring? If lie is, all right, andl he canl haive whatever he wanits at the price the Boiardl wants hint to pay.

They think he has done nuch for his party in the South. A MURDER CASE IN EDGEFI ELI). Fo ur Negroes on Trial for Klling a Fifth.

ALnANY, March 6.-The general aws conmittee of the Senate,which has >een taking testimony in New York ind elsewhere recently, on the subject >f "trusts" of various kinds, made its re )ort to-day. The report says: "However difterent the influences vhich gave rise to these combinations nay be, the main purpose of the man gement and the effect upon the public he same, to wit, aggregation of capital, >ower of controlling the manufacture and output of various necessary commo lities, the acquisition or destruction of onipetitive properties, all leading to he final and conclusive purposes of an iihilating competition, and enabling :ombinations to fix the price at whieh hey would purchase raw material from he producer, and at which they would ell the refined product to the consumer. [n any event the public at each end of he industry, prodiucer and consumer, s, and is intended to be in a certain ense, at the mercy of the syndicate, ,ombination or trust." The report also recommends new leg slation, and that the attorney general yroceed against violators of the law. Debate on the Pension Bill. W~asIINGTON, March 6.-The Senate it 2 p. m. took up) the pension bill, the luestion still being on the amiendnment >f Wilson to insert the words "from the nfirmities of age." After brief speeches >y Berry, Manderson, Sherman, Teller Lnd Beck, Ingalls, the presiding officer, aing called Platt to the chair, pro -eeded to address the Senate, the galler es being crowded to their full capacity. He said that considerations of deco -um amnd propriety (perhamps excessive Ld over-strained) had deterred him rom participation thus far in the lebates of the~ Senate. He had, there ore, been surprised one day last week in returnlig to the chamber after a >rief absence, to learn that the Senator romn Missouri, (Vest), had referred to lII in terms not compllimlentary, in a elebate in which he had taken iio part, ntimiating that the people of the Dis riet of Columbia were incapable of lisinterested patriotism, and that the -eterans of the Republie were a mob01 of ordid plunderers. As to himself he would say that the omination and election of Grover :leveland had made the nlomninationi of .ny Amierican citizen to the Presidencey espeetable. There was no man so igno ant or mean that he might iiot aspire o the nomlinationt of the Presidency by he Democratic party. (Laughter and .pplause.) He did not know where the Senator rom Missouri had got thle figures from chinch he stated that but 8,000 of Lee's niny had surrendered at Apponmattox. nsteadI of8,000) men with muskets wvho vere in the final erash and collision of var there had been 73,911 mten. The ~enator's miathtematies were giddy. htere was but one parallel to be foundI o the extraordinary inaccuracy of that tatemlent, and that was sonic Senato r'sI tatement that of the 2,30,000. soldiers if the Union army miore than one half Ladl alplied for pensions. Such speeches s those of the Senmators fronm Missouri nd Kentucky wer~e intended to catch1 he Confederate vote and they wvouldi atch it. It was not the quetstion oif cost. Thme 'oouth dhid not love the Uion~i army , teither did thme Democratic party. Ingalls spoke an hour and a haif. mieckburn took the floor and replied to mgalls in at speech as incisive and -aIling ais his own, anmd was as frequent v app)lauded. .Jt was agnreed by unani tous consent, that the pensiomn bill hould be taken up to-morrow~ as un Lnished businiess, that debate upon it hould be under tile five minute rule, nd that a vote upon the pendinig mnendmnent and bill should be taken efore the close of co-morrow'sssin spreckies to fight the Trust, special to the Baltimore American,] PHILADlELPHIA, March 4.-Claus preckles the Millionaire sugar king of Lie Pacific slope and thme Sandwich Is onds, arrivedl here hast evening. He amies to establish a big sugar refinery the east,and to fight the gigantic su atr trust. He p)roi >oses to erect his nlew :finery either in New York, Philadel hia or Baltimore, whichever cit of ers the best adivantages. Mr. Sprecek , 1a talk with the Amerieen correspond: ut spoke favorably of Baltimore as a ood site, but said lie had n iot yet set ed upon either city.

Said aPhilatdeqlia buinemss manm to av: "If Baltinmore wats' this refinery Le'll hav e to beat Pla~'delphia." "So long as I liv e, said Mr. Spreck 's last night, "I w ill nev er go into any :rust.'
