The editor of the Spartanburg Her ald, Mr. W-. 31. Jones, has gone on an extended European tour. ^ol. tobt. (. Ingersoll delivered :a eulogy over Itoseoe Conkling in Albany OnL the eveling of May 9, to an audiencce We hope to see the State Coinvention do the graceful thing for N'w berry to day and send her son, Mr. J. K. P. (oggans, as a delegate from this dis t rict to National Convention)1. The sentiiient ill South Carolina seemls to he unanimous for the renoi ination and re-election of Ir. Cleve land, and we suspect he will be renoI inated by acelamtation and without o ppsition. But the second Imi:ml on the ticket has not been naned. M. H. Stevenson has taken chargre of the Aiken Recorder as editor and business manager, for the proprietress, \lrs. C. E. it. Drayton. W e welcome him into the ranks and wish the paper under his mIanagemlent continued sue cess and prosperity. Mr. M. W. Fuller, the newly ap pointed Chief Justice, and Ir. J. G. Blaine are said to have labored together as reporters for rival newspapers in their youth in the State of Maine. Their careers since hiave been rather differenht. Col. George Johnstone makes a good presiding officer. He handled the con v ention on Saturday with skill and ability, and dispatched the business with grace and dignity. Two hundred and twenty-two men make a riglht good size convention. The withdrawal of the Hon. S. Pope from the race for the Senate, published to-day, will be a surp)rise :mid source of regret to his many friends. He mlade an active, energetic and watchful memi ber of tihe Legislature, in which capac ity hie served the people of Newbe'rry County acceptably for four years. We publish this week the call for the Prohibit ion State Convent ion. We -are assured by Prof. L. B. Haynes and other active movers in the cause, that there is no-desire nor intention to form a third party, and that this con ventionl has no political meaning. It is simply in the interest of p)rohibIitionl. The call was signed by over five hun *dred names in U e State. The new p)rofessors of the South Car - olina2. College,. unlder the rearrangemient a ndienlhargem en t of the college, hlave been elected by the board of truste-. We publish this week the list with a short sketch (If each.

COUNTY CHAIRMAN. The newly elected chairman of the executive committee, and by virtue of his office, Cotntyv chairman, and head of the Democratic party in Newberry County, Col. W. H. Hunt, Jr., is a young lawyer of ability, ani earnest worker, anId we havec nlo doubt will make a good County chairman.

I'n(ler the above heading our local cotemllporary, The 01 server, has the following to say of The IIerald and News: "Our esteenetieu oteup(rary,Ti'e ler ad and News, has hitherto opposed a seliarate a rrieultural college on the gr'ounl of expense. But since _lr. Clemsotn's bequest it favors such a ol lege. It says, because we are an agri eultural people, our tastes should be educated and cultivated in that diree tion -tchen this cuan bJ dOnr tithot ad diional cost.' It believes in educating tile trner, ;f it costs nothing. It ap pears to us that, because we are an agricultural people, the farmer should be ecluated no matter what it costs especially as lie pays the greater part of the taxes. The State is amuply able to provide for and sustain a separate agri cultural college, either with or without the Clemson bequest: and should do so. What does $75,000 or $100,000 aiontnt to anyway in the life of a State? But we'are glad of anytlhing that will bring converts into the agricultural fold; and that is really the best thing r about the ('lenson bequest." t The Herald and News has only very t li tle to say in reply to this. We hope that all who read this comment also i read what The Herald and News did v say. This is a very shrewd piece of t r argument on the part of our cotenpo- g rarv to create the impression that The t Herald and News only wanted the for- t mner educated if it cost nothing. a This conclusion ;s not true and can- a not be legitimately drawn from any thing said by The Herald and News. t, We have opposed the establishment of an agricultural college because we thought the same money that it would s requi:e for this purpose could be more judiciously spent and do more good and reach more farmers if expended in e making more perfect our common c schools. In this way more of the chil dlrel could he reached; and we claimed that if the State wasable to spend more money in education and wanted to do it so as to benefit the greatest number, s it would be better to give it to the com- t muon schools, and make them mor t efficient. And besides. an agricultural college would be an experiment with a us, and ant expensive one, and with the constant cry for low taxes, we thought it would not be wise to :nake the ex periment. The Herald and News has niever denied that an agricultural col lege would do good. It is edlucation a and every time you establish an educa tional institutioncyou take a step for ward in the inmprovemuent of the people, y but the question with us has been the t wisdlom of thte State, spending the mo.ney necessary to establish and main tain such an institution, instead, if it ( must b)e spent in edlucation, of helping out the common schools ai id in this 3 way reachingall the children,both boys and girls.s So muichO ior thle p)ositiont mnainttiniied by The Herald and News heretofore. We would like to see everybod edctd And we say now,as wve have r said bef('re, if the people want>an Agri- t cultural College :nid are willing to pay for it with or without the Clemnson be qJuest why let them have it. t With the Clemson heqiuest wve cani con sistentlyv advocate thie expneri mentI beingmadeofanAgriultural College because tile objection we urged to the s State making the experiment, which was the wisdom of spending that much moniey in an experiment, is removed in an eiept ing thle Clemson bequest. a $75,000 i or $00,000 miay not amo(unlt to I r much in the life of a state, but there is a constanti cry for low taxes, and withi S75,(000 or$ 10,000 atppropriationis ann u- T ally,thiere canniilot be mumach redu.ctioni Of ' a tatxationi. .1f outr cotemiporary is sat isfied with our conversion We are. 1uig Price for a Tre'e.
