ELBERT H. AULL, EDrrO1. EALL, Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL, N E WBERRY. S. C, THt RSDAY, J UN E L>8,'18S8. THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET. .'FOR PRE-;IDENT: GROVER CLEVELAND, OF NEW YORK. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT: ALLEN G. THURMAN, OF 01110. JUDGE COTHRAN NOMINATE). Judge J. S. Cothran was nominated on last Thursday at Seneca without op position, as a candi.date for (':ngr!ss from this district. A large minority of the delegates favored a primary elec tion, and, in fact, if full delegations had attended from all the ce'nties in the district, the primary plan would have been adopted. We do not believe Judge Cothran would have had any opposi tion in any event, and inasmuch as the primary plan was adopted two years ago, we see no special reason why it siould not have been the plan this time. Judge Cothran could have lost nothing by it this year, and it might have been better for him in the future. We hope the Judge will come down any -way before the campaign is over, and tell us about Washington and na tiunal politics. The Union Times nominates Hon. John C. Sheppard for Governor. The Bonds and most of those charged with them in the famous "corpse trust" cases in Charleston have pleaded guilty of fraud and forgery. The committee to notify President Clevehnd of his nomination performed that duty on Tuesday. The President responded accepting the nomination. In the death of Mr. Joseph Caldwell, another one of the old landmarks of Newberry County has been removed. He will be missed in his section and wherever known. He was one of the delegates from Newberry County to the Secession Convention, held in Charles ton on December 17th, 1810, and was one of the signers of the articles of secession. The other delegates to this memorable convention from Newberry were Col. Sim Fair, Mr. Robert Moorman and - Mr, John P. Kinard. .3 r. Kinard is the only one whj is now living of Newber ry 's representatives. "A New England physician declares that the tobacco in cigarettes is im pregnated with opiumi. Th rapr this the father who neglects the use of the paddle when he finds his boy - smoking a cigaret te will be in a manner responsible for the results." We give this information for the ben etit of our byvs who are addicted to the habit, and also for the benefit of their fathers. If the fathers were to follow . the advice here given, however, we suspect the paddle business would soon be a paying ir dustrv. We mean to the manufacturer of paddles. Cigarette smoking is a growing evil with the American boy. Fred Douglass seems to have nmade the speech in the Reptublican convention, at least in the estimation of the conven t-ion. It wvas a regular bloody shirt harrangue. From the reception~ given D)ouglass' speech it would appear that the campaign this year will be waged on that line. Douglass is a negro with a white wvo man for a wife. He was in the South last winter lecturing and was treated with great courtesy and respect by all * parties .wherever he wvent. Now he -will do all he can to misrepresent us. * It is ever thus. The contest this year promises to be a bitter and hard fought one. .The Re publicans will make a last desperate effort to win, for defeat again this year will cause the Grand Old Party to wane. * A township club in Laurens County has passed the following resolution: "That we heartily endorse Capt B. R. Tilman for Governor of this State, and urge him to become a candidate for said office, believing that he wvould be r Governor of the whole people, and thatf he would not favor class legislation, nor recommend useless appropriations of the people's money." The Laurens farmers seem to have * great admiration for Capt. Trillman. A blind man by the name of Flem ming was tried for bigamy in A tlanta a few days ago and convicted with a recomnmendatton to mercy by the jury. The Judge who tried the case gave the ' bigamist the fullest extent of the law, which was four years in the peniten tiary. He had married a young girl in Illinois with whom he lived only two days. Conmi ng to Atlanta, he married, after a brief courtship, a charming 1 young lassie of that city. The Judge who tried FHemming expressed regret t because the law did not plermit him to impose a heavier sentence. ( THF CHIEF ATTRACTION. G;reeniville expects to have a big time this year in July. A regular gala week on a grand scale. The 31ilitary enl-jI campmnent and the meeting of the State 1 Press Association are some of the at tractions. We hope to be able to visit our mountain city on this occasion.e We think it would be a good idea for d the New berry Rifies to stir themiselves~ up andl attend this encampment. We a have plenty of good material in'this U comnpany,and they could do themseves 1 anid their county credit on this oceat - sion and have a good time throwvn in, ifn they wvould just make up their maind v t) at tend. 1 The Grxenville News says one of the chief attractions of the week will beo Editor Holmes. of the Barnwell People. Editor Hohnes wvill deliver the annual address before the Press Association. The News says: "One of the chief attractions for Gala Week here will be Editor Holmes, of the Barnwell People. He will be at curiosity to our folks in this region and all of thenm should come to see and hear him. He is as brilliant and erratie asjn the fireworks, as gorgeous as the big Ih open air ball, as complicated as the evo- n unica reiti a- t e Ce-u:t of an amateur ^ane of ball--a live, talented. free white nmt of -ound and disposing uind and nemutory and the age of dis :retiont, with no "pecial griefs to sour him, who opposes railroads. inunigra tion and primary elections. has no use for Uncle George Tillman and mighty Little for free schools, believes in big p!antations and is skeptical of the up :ountry boom. Editor Holmes, as will be seen, com bines in himself all the elements of our ,ala Week and is furthermore a de iightful acqcuainttance who will be liked jr evervbody anl invited to come 1-rain, notwithstanding his remarkable lualiticationrs.' ihe W.oien Suffra.gi-t advocates do .ot like the Republiean platform either. [t has no plank in it allowing or advo -ating the right of women at the ballot. Miss Susan B. Authony and Mrs. Isa beila Beecher Hooker have issued an address setting forth certain facts for tite consideration of the R epubiican party. 'Thiey claiu the Republican party owes its existence to wemuen. And women have been protesting againrst not being permitted to vote .since the foundation of the government. The womrcent have still failed toget a woman's rights plank in the platform. The plat form is silent on this subject this year. It will be a long time beforewomen are allowed the right of the ballot in this country. SECOND TERM PRESIDENTS. We publish elsewhere in this issue tn interesting article on Presidents who have received a renomination fox .1 second term The record shows that "ten Presidents have been renominated for office, and of these only three were lefeated, the unlucky ones being the two Adams' and Martin Van Buren. 'T he record now shows that there have been eleven Presidents renominated, and there will be no change in the number defeated." We do not believe there will be any -hange, but that one more name will be added to the list of the successful mes who have received a renomina tion, and that name will be Grovei Cleveland, "the man of destiny." THE REPURLICAN CONVENTION. The Republican Convention which niet in Chicago on last Tuesday a week ago finished its work on Monday night of this week by the nomination >f Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, for President on the eighth ballot and Levi P. Morton of New York for Viee-Pres ident. Blaine seemed very much in the way. In fact the Convention seemed to be at sea and was in marked ,ontrast to the Democratic Convention held a short time before at St. Louis. We publish a brief sketch of the Repub lican nominees. The platform was adopted and the main issue in the cant paign this year will likely be the fight on the- question of tarif'fobr revenue as advocated by the Republicans. Harrison's record on the Chinese juestion it is said will not suit the Pa ~ific slope and may lose his p)arty sev ~ral States there, inasniuch as M1r. Thur nan is acceptable to these States. We hope it will be a campaign free 'rom personal abuse and slander and rougMt squarely on principles. We be ieve Mir. Cleveland is stronger with ;he people to-day than he was four rears ago. IT WOULD ADORN OTHER PLACES. Speaking of his treat ment of political >pponents, Allen G. Th urman, (Vice P~resident in 1889) said: "I have always sept a civil tongue in may head and -ecogiz7e the right of everybody to :hink for himself." Su.j a sentiment idorning the big hall in which the re publicans are discussing t he nmerits of a Denmocratic Administration would be )owerfu lly appropriate.--New York EIerald. It wouldl adlorn a great many >ther places and be p)owerfully appro >riate. It is a great thing to keep a :ivil tongue in one's head and yet it is a hing some peop)le sem unable to do0. ['his sentinient wvould do to observe in >ther things than in the treatment of >olitical opponents. To keep a civil ongue in your head in the every day Ltfairs of life would not be had doctrine. It will not he bad sentiment to ob erve this rule of the grand old Roman n the smaller political contests in ounty p)olitics. A fair, square and p)leasanit contest, vithout had feeling, recognizing the ight of every man to think and speak or himself, without assigning im >roper miotives to any. Not only in >olities, but in business eo'itests and ompetitions it is well to keep a civil ongue in one's head. Eilaine on Thurman. 31r. Jamies G. Blaine, in his "Twenty (ears in Congress'' wrote very comp)li uentary of MIr. Allen G . Thurman, the )emocratie candidate for Vice Presi lent. He says of him: His rank -in thle Senate was estaldished romi the day lie took his sent, and was ever lowered dluring the period of his ervices. He was an admiraly discip ied dlebater, was fair in his method f statement, logical in his argument, tonest in his conclusions. Heu. had no riek in dliscussioni, 1no catch p)hrases to eeur'e attention, but wasalways direct nd manly. His miindl was not pre eeupiied and engrossed with p)olitical onitests oir with atltirs of state. He ad nat ural and cultivated tastes out ide of thnose fiels.

G. W. Holland, of New berry. u u [Special to the News and Courier.] t COLUMBIA, Ju ne 2.5.-The baccalau reate sermon to the graduating class of t the South Carolina University was preached last night at the College A chapel by the Rev. G. W. Holland, of b Newberry College. The sermon w as an excellent and impressive one in every r respect. Mr. Holland chose as his text S the 13th chapter of the Book of Acts, C 36th verse. "For David, after he had b served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers and saw corruption." The service we owe to God was the point upon which Mr. Holland laid special emphasis. He said: "Great ness has now for its aim self-sacrifice, and that the true essential of a servant o is that he perform his work with a pur- st pose and be in harmony~ with the Lord. A The beginning of Paul's career was p when he gave way to his5 own prefer- T1 ences and asked God, "What wilt X Thou?" st Mr. Holland tol the young gentle- o: menCf that they nmust hold themlselves i hi readiness for the call to Goa's service. fc We may not know what His will may fi be when starting out in life, but He te will soon make His will known. He I said: "Learning is second only to re- A ligion as a moral trainer. Among the ir duties devolving upon you, young gen- C tlemen, as educated men, you should a< commend the liberal arts. You should be sure and set the exaniples of truth tI and honesty in all your dealings. The sI responsibility is more upon you as ed- a1 ucated young mIen, for you will b)e tI lookell up to as authlority and as leaders p wherever you may live. And, abovc b all, consecrate your hearts to your God 9. and leave the world better than you A found it." s A fter the sermon the choir sung "All v hail the power of Jesus." The chapel r wvas crowded to its utmost capacity. g b A TAYMANY MAN'S ESTIMATE. f ci ~--- k He Says 1;1'veland will Carry New York by h 1lO,oooo Majority. -- a3 A Washington Star reporter wa yes b terdav introduced to Mr. Benjamin P. n Fairchild, of New York city, father-in- S law of Representative Stahlnecker. He it is 74 years of age, and has been a mnem- nI ber of Tammany for fifty years. Speak- v ing of the political outlook in New g York, lie said : "Mvy mark is 100,000 majority in the tc State&for Cleveland. People may think le that is wild, but I have been actively i engaged inl the politics of the State for es mxore than half a century, and I believe I can come as near as any man telling how an election will go. I am willing to risk any amount up to $50,000 on my judgment. The people of New;York are p)leased with the ticket and with the ei piatformi, and they wvill vote the ticket se like shleep following each other For Gov- h: ernor we wvill nominiate David B. Hill, n the most popular DJemocrat no0w in theo State, and we wvill elect him with a ei h urrah, too." o Mir. Fairchild said that lie felt luke- in warm toward President Cleveland until d< hle read tihe speech delivered by Sena- to tor Hoar sonme time ago attacking tile D President. "I believed," he said, "up hi to that timle that the President hadn't to truned out the RepublIcans, but whenp I read Hoar's speech, showing nlearly oc( all the Republican postmasters had been o tuirned out, and that in other depart- in mlenlts the changes had been made to br1 ani equal extent, I warmed up to the e' President, aind I tell you that speech be made thousands of votes for Cleveland he ini New York. so Mr. Fairchild took a party of Dem- sh ocrats to the St. Louis Convention, and t, it was saidl in his presence that Thur- fai mlanl was too old for the nonminiation ; he w] threw hack his coat and asked: "Am hli I too 01(1?

[Special to the (reenville News.] t A \ I 1HSOs , .1 une :i.-The niost inter- yS ting and exciting erininal case that al is perhaps ever happened here com- n< enced this afternoon in the prelimin v hearing before .Just ice Quattlebaum ( the State against Mrs. Mollie Keese, h; iarred with arson. in For sonie months past Anderson has n ftered from the work of sonie incen- bi ary, and at last suspicion got started an unexpected direction. This has PI liliuated in the arrest of Mrs. Keese, ty ho keeps quite a large hoarding house h( id who heretofore has borne a good putation. There are several indictments against ni "r. The first taken up was for the tl irnin_ of M1r. Seel's stable the morn- n g of the 21st of May. Maj. E. B Mur y appeared for the defence and Messrs P rown and1 'ribble for the State. ti Geor-e W.

Evidence el as introduced showing that tracks p; ere seen leading from the defendant's w )use to the site of the burning. A shoe as introduced in testimony said to be ie shoe of -Mrs. Keese. One witness stifled that Mrs. Keese brought her ie shoes and gave her a gold ring and ne clothes and told her to claim the ioes as belonging to herself. The whole proceedings were notice )le for the bitter manner in which the ;torneys fought each other at every ep. At 8:30 p. in. the court adjourned ?v cer until Monday morning.

KEESE ATTEMPTS SUICIDE. h ANDERSON, June 2.-This morning ti t daylight Mrs. Mollie Keese left her 01 ouse and was soon thereafter seen by I colored man going in the direction of C ocky River. ,he was not confined to p ii, but by the courtesy of the prose- 'a Iting attorneys was allowed to re lain at her home. Her brother, Mr. p ochran, and a constable started after l; er as soon as her flight was discovered. ft he was found something over a mile fc at of town in a very sad condition, her a othes being wet and muddy. Differ- si ice of opinion is expressed as to wheth r she intended to try to escape or was tl seking to commit suicide. A consider- si ble number of our citizens believe her ti > be insane. h Owing to her exhausted condition m hen brought back to the city she was to nable to attend court, and Justice v uattlebaum very kindly continued i ie case, subject to his call. h The trial of Gustav Frank for at- I rmpting to bribe witnesses for the de- a rnse in the case of the State against o [rs.

Adams Commits Suicide. CoLUMBIA, June 23.-At half-past 7 clock this evening Sergt Higbee was anding at the corner of Lady and y ssembly streets, when he heard three C istol shots fired in rapid succession. i he shots proceeded from the- house of C [r. J. Q. Adams, who lived on Lady s reet, three doors from Assembly. The 0 icer immediately proceeded to the ~ ouse. Lying upon the back porch he n mund MIr. J. Q. Adams. Blood was d awing from two wounds in his left b imple and a thirty-two calibre Smith a d esson revolver lay at his side. Mr. ti dams was unconscious. He was moved s1 ito a sitting room and a doctor, C. P .Johnson, colored, who lived just ~ :ross the street, was summoned. C Johnson stated there was no hope for s ie wounded miani. An examination o iowed that one of the balls had glanced I -oundl the skull anid was lodged in ie centre of the forehead; the other s anetrated the skull, and was probably ried in the brain. A dams lived until t 10 p. mn. when lie breathed his last. ~ fter his death thc miost heartrending u ene was witnessed by those in the c inity. The sisters and other female latives of the dead mian gave way to ief and their sh rieks and cries could aheard for a block. The side-walk in ont of the house was blocked by a r irious crowd. It is not definitelyr nowni what caused MIr. Adams to take is life. He was a young man about 28 a aars of age, and had been a freight id passenger conductor on the Colunm- E a and Greenville Railroad, but a t conthi or two ago he lost his place.. abseuently lie opened a barber shop the C'ongaree Hotel, but there wa no oney in it. Adams is also said to haven ~ry unhappy family relations, and it is nerally understood that this, together ~ ith his financial troubles, caused him take his life. He left, however, no tter or wordl to explain his act. Ini any respects lie was considered an tinmable young man.. Co. OchiHtree Teils a Bandanna Story'. t [New York Tribune.'1 Col. Thomas Ochiltree is seen at the y itrance of the Hoofman House with a spiciously red handkerchief in his a ids, which lie vigorously protests is se > a "bandannar." He tells this story: mhen Thurman was in the Senate am i of his fellowv-memibers was Henry se .Davis, of West Virginia, the father- gi -law of S. B. Elkins. An important ai bate came on in which Thurman (ok a leading part. In the nmidlst of it C avis went to sleep with his head on ir s arm on his dlesk. Thurman stopped N blow his nose, and it is one of his p rsonal peculiarities that on such p~ casions he literally wakes the dead. ec a this occasion he awoke Davis, who at early life was a Baltimore and Ohio M akemian, and who, as he opened his 'es caught sight of Thurman's red p1 ndanina waving in the air. In his ph f-dazed condition he coupled the jw und and the bandanna into a railroad ai ~nal, and grabbing his desk he at- jo mpted to twist it around like an old- mn ~hioned brake before lhe remembered 5. ere he was, aiid began to laugh at w: s delusion." si< , e lo Poor and Proud.
