TBERT H. AULL, EDITOR. .LBEBT IL AUL .Proprietors. NEWBERRY. S. C, THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1889. he people of South Carolina have - oreason to have the temperance ques a injected into politics. It is a anorai question and not a political one. bas been fortunately taken out of i o]ties by the. laws of the State. As Tae laws stands, license to sell spritu a, vinous or malt liquors, is confined incorporated cities, towns and -4 ages, and the citizens of those places here licenses are granted have pre -bed rules for voting for or against and can consequently free them elves from it if they desire to do so ' i*hout injecting the Question as some ~ desire to :do, into the political cam . The divine injuction is, "Be .ye temperate in all things." Some tim ago a paper in this State )m~ght a serious charge against Gen e Pryor, a former Brigadier General t e Confederate army-a charge cal eulated to destroy the fair name and a of a most honorable and accom . pUisbed gentleman; nay more, a charge geaiculated not only to affect himwhilst -l ivng but one that would affect his descendants for all time. This has been refuted, we are glad to say, but unfortunately there will be those upon 4all occasions who will seek to use it 'sgainst hinr, for once character is be ;"smirched it can never be entirely re s_tored. *Hence the importance of never giving utterance either in pri ' vate or public to words wontonly or wilfully calculated to destroy character. Good name is everything-it is some tSing that money even cannot pur chase. Shakespeare expresses the im portance and value of it, beautifully and strongly. when he says : "Good name in man and woman d:ar, my lord, ?s the immediate jewel of iheir souls. Who sLeals my purse sieals t-ash; 'tis some m thing, unthing; z was i.ne, 'tis his, and has been slaves to thousands:. Ent he that filches froi me my good name Robs me of that which not enrcieeshim, And makes me poor indeed." It is a settled fact that so-far as the white man in South Carolina is con cerned that he must act with the Demo cratic party, for it is the party of decen --cy, of good government and for the gepetuation of the Anglo-Saxon race. 'It is the white man's party. But be ' cause such is the case and because there is but one party for the decent white man, is no reason why he should be led by unprincipled demagogues to swallow anything and everything that may be uttered by. these so-called leaders whose stock in trade is personal abuse of those .who do not choose to follow them blindly, and who when everycrig else fails to arouse public opinion in their favor resort to speeches calculated to arouse the prejudices and passions of the people--the role of the ~Z.agogue. --w There is a way for every good citizen -to thitik and act for himself within the party and that is through the primary. This with us can be made to take the place of another party and yet not take us away from Democracy. In fact it is -true Democracy, it is the will of the pezple. Any public question can in this way be discussed, the people in Sformed so as to vote intelligibly, and no harm will be done, for it will be '-understood that the majority primary vote will settle the question; the pre sumption being that the minority will acquiesce to the will of the majority. This is the safety valve to prevent dis rntegrai,ion .and the sooner that it is ~'adopted the better will it be for the. people and the Democratic party. Brayton and Tom Miller are opposing ~'the appointment of Smalls as collector ~"CBeaufort. Small's commission had been made out, but the tide has-turned Sagainst him. The American always "gets there."

We take the liberty of making the following extract from a private letter aeceived by us from a young lady friend --who recently left New berry for Florida, by the way of Charleston, where she enjoyed a very pleasant week. H erNew berry friends will be pleased to learn that she reached her destination in safety and received a hearty welcome: ** ** So far, I am very much pleased with my new home. I find it much cooler than I expected. We never lack a balmy breeze here, and the mornings and nights are quite cool. I am told that this is the case all dur ing the summer. There was a splendid rainfall yesterday, which just came in tin-e ta prevent a shortage in the pota to crop. Peas are still plentiful and beinog shipped daily to the Northern markets. Potatoes will soon be ready to ship; in fact, some are matured enough now for shipment. I am en joying the new vegetables very much. -also the bitter sweet oranges, which I find that I like better than the sweet. -They make a delightful lemonade, or, I should say, orangeade. The only ob Kjection so far that I have to Floi'da is the black dust which mems to grind itefinto everythinhg and gives a dingy haebeen engaged for two years; so I *will remain in Florida for at least that * ength of time, if not longer. -Gideon Lee's Bargain. C[Special to Greenville Daily News.] CHAR~LESTON, S. C., April 17.-The rerence was held to-day in th4 Clem son will case before United States Coin -n''ssioner J. E. Hagood of the United States Circuit Court. A maes of docu mentary evidence was subs ~ted. The only oral evidence submitted was that -of Mr. Pat Calhoun who testified that there was an agreement and under. -standing between himself and Gideon Lee, the father of Miss Lee, who is con t.. .ting the Clemson will, that if they should succeed in winning the suit and r-cover the Fort Hi!. property be-: queathed 4' the State, the place was to: -be sold to the witness, Pat Calhoun, at a reasonable figure. The reference was then adjourned to Abbeville. TheI counsel on both sides have agreed to argue the case before Chief Justice .Ful RAILROAD WORK BEGINS. The Columbia, Newberry and Laurens ' Railroad to ba Completed by May 1st, 1890. [Special to The News and Courier.] 3 COLUMMIA, April 19.-The News and ouirier Bureau has frequently been nade therepository of secrets afiecting n ,he business future of Columbia, but ione of them have been so hard to keep s that which is now divulged by au hority. It is a great pleasure to announce the onsummation of an important enter rise, the good news of which has been ;uppressed for weeks. Some time ago it P vas mentioned in this correspondence d hat the Congaree Construction Com- n )any, a corporation chartered by the u .egislature several years ago, had effect- f d a preliminary organization. Later t was shown that the company had e een fully wrganized by the election ofe illiam H. Lyles, of Columbia, as presi lent; W. G. Childs, of Columbia, as V secretary and treasurer; and Col. John a r. Sloan, Jr. of Columbia, as Solicitor; v Lnd the following board of directors: Dr. Jas. Woodrow, W. A. Clark, Col. ohn T. Sloan, Jr., W. G. Childs, W. E. Lyles, Capt. C. J. Iredell of Colum )ia, and H. C. Moseley of Prosperit.y. t Nothing could be said at that time of be purpose of the company, as it was c working out its objects quietly. b Now come the results: Within the ast fortnight twenty prominent busi iess men of Columbia Newberry and e Prospe:ity have subscribed to. the stock 5,0C3 each, giving the company a cash apital of $100,003. With this money f ;he corporation will complete the Co umbia, Newberry and Laurens Rail- t .ad from Columbia to Newberry. S'egotiations with the railroad compa iy, which have been in progress for some time, were concluded to day, t LVessrs. H. C. Moseley, president of the b *ailroad, and Mr. W. H.. Lyles, presi- e lent of the Construction Company, t igning a contract by which the latter :ompany is to complete the road to gewberry by May 1, 1830. Bids for the grading, bridge building, steel rail, r 3rossties and rolling s,ock will be at 1 )nce advertised for, and the line will . ertainly be built, in first-class style, by a the time specified. - A start will be made as soon as bids a aan be obtained and contracts awarded. ( rhe terms of the contract have not been made public, but the assurance is given that they are such as will be en arely satisfactory to both of the con tracting parties as well as to the people ( :long the line. s The road has been surveyed from , Columbia to Newberey and the route decided on, except as to the passage to the north or south of Little Mountain t in Lexington County. The estimated t cost of building is $12,00 a mile. The grading has been completed from Co- f lumbia to a point twenty miles distant. i The entire distance to Newberry is 42 miles. As the readers of News and Courier will remember, this road was projected I to give the people of the rich Dutch Fork of Lexington an outlet, and to s advance the transportation interests of Columbia, Prosperity and Newberry. 1 The grading was in progress and the piers of the bridge over Broad River at i Columbia had been cempleted when a the township bond decision of the Su preme Court arrested all work, the stock having been mainly subsc.ibed by. the townships along the line. Under the last decision of the Court the bonds issued will doubtless hold good, aud i will offer additional resources to the enterprise.. One of the chief reasons prompting the arrangement which ha's been made is the fact that under it the road will be owned by th6. people for whose bene-' fit it was , begun. The Construct'ont Company is controlled in Columbia and u Lhe line will be kept independent of all the complications of the big systems. At the same tim3 it will do threet things of value to this city and to the pepe who contributed to build it. Ite will connect at Newberry with thec Three ('s on its line between Blacks burg and Augusta. It will give thei Atlantic Coast Line and the South Carolina Railway an outlet to the up country independent of the Richmond and Danville, and it will give the Gieor-c gia, Carolina and Northerr (the John Robinson system) a line to Columbia I when that road shall extend across the ( State. The local traffic will be very large and nobody doubts that the road will be self-supporting. The Piedmont Land and Improve ment Company, another Columbia en terprise, has saw mills at work on the line, and owns large tracts of land, and the building of the road will make it] prosper greatly. Altogether the arrangement of to-day is agreat thing for Columbia. 1 Here is quick work: The contrast for< the completion of the road was only I signed this morning, and to-morrow 1 morning The News and Courier will contain an advertisement for bids to furnish trestling for a section of the, road. This trestling is to be put on the mile of road within the city limits, in order to enable the line to be promipily 1 finished to the bridge and put in condi tion to haul material for that struc ture. YELLOW FEVER IN FLORIDA. The Existence of the Dread Disease at Sazn ford Officily Reported. - - . f WAsHiNGTON, April 23.-Surgeon Gneral Hamilton of the Marine Hos pital Service was informed to-day by the president of the Board of Health f Sanford, Fla., that a case of yellow fever existed in that city. Dr. Hamil ton says that every precaution has been taken to prevent the spread of the disease, and no danger is apprehended. ?HE MAYOR OF SAVANNA H OFFICIALLYt NOTIFIED. [SpeciaI to the Charleston World.)] SAVANNAH, April 23.--Mayor Swartz received a telegram from Sanford, Fla., this afternoon stating that a death from yellow fever had occurred at that place. The name that was signed to the telegram was that of Dr. Daniel, of the State bor..rd of health. It is need less to mention that the news spread through the city with the customary swiftness of such iuteiligence, and has ! reated a great deal of discussion as to probabilities. HE PLAYS A LONE HAND. SoiLtary Robber With a Revolver Cleans Out an Express Offie-. GALLATIN, Mo., April 22.--One of s the boldest railroad robberies ever per petrated by a single robber in Missouri I occurred at Pattonsburg, on the WVa- ' bash road, Friday night, and has just t eaked out. About nine o'clock Fridayt night one masked burglar entered the t station at Pattonsburg. He covered the agent, the one person in the station, with a pistol, .and demanded the key, which he received. He then made the gent occupy a given position and pro- t aeded to plunder. He cleaned the 1 ffice out of everything valuable, secur- I ing money estimated at from $6,000 to I 510,000. The booty was one express I ackage of $3,000, a letter addressed to I he Pattonsburg bank containing $1,000 -i mnd a number of express packages. He s lso took all the express, freight and c cket funds and robbed the agent of :is own money and valuables. The -obber then backed out of the station, nounted a horse and rode away. . The Lgent on Saturday notified Superinten tent McGee, of the Wabash & Western. ti Kfr. McGee communicated with detec- a ves in St. Louis and a search for the I obber was started which has been e iithout success. / --------------..5~:. .

That's How it Strikes Some Republicans in South Carolina. [Special to the World.] COLUMBIA, April 22.-Hon E. M. Brayton, chairman of the Republican State Executive Committee, returned from Washington yesterday, where be has been for a number of weeks past. During his stay at the capital he had an audience with President Harrison and interested himself considerably in the various appointments which will probably be made in South Carolina by the new administration at an early day. Mr. Brayton was seen this morning by aWorld reporter, and in the course of the conversation expressed himself as anything but pleased with the gen eral result of his visit, and was not favorably impressed with President Harrison and his policy. "Is there any ground," asked the re porter, "for the impression which has gone abroad that the President intends to ignore the old line Republicans in the South, and try to organize a new party on new lines?" "Sir," was the reply, "there is every ground for it. During my whole visit, I was impressed with the fact that the administration was not a friendly one to the Southern Republicans, and we cannot understand it. The Indepen dents, who have been in Washington hard at work for some time, have evi dentlyshad some influence with the President. We go there and find our selves kept at arm's length, and we can see no reason for it. As you know there have been no changes made in the offices in the South, and we have no idea when the appointments will be made." "How do the applications seem to be received at the departments?" "Rather coldly, and the colored ap plicants do not seem to stand much of a chance. The President told an A la bama delegation which called upon him on Saturday, that the appoint ment of colored men seemed to inflame the prejudices of the Southern people, and while he expected to have to dis appoint several hundred office-seekers, one feature of hisadministration would be to see that the colored people in the South got their just rights. He seenis to have his own ideas about the situt tion in the South, and especially about the independent movement, and does not care to hear anything further about it, or any arguments contrary to his present views. It is very evident, I think, that he wants to put the party on an entirely new basis in the South. In Alabama, South Carolina, and Vi' ginia, there seems to be a new move ment, and he is waiting its develop nWent. The movement seems stronger in Alabama than elsewhere, as the new party there represents largely men of wealth, recognized standing and intel ligence. But in South Carolina it is different. In Virginia the division is between Wise and Mahone, and the President seems to favor the former, and if this is the case Mahone certainly will not stand it." MAHONE SUMMONED. RICHMOND, Va., April 23.-It is learned here to-day that President Harrison has asked ex-Senator Ma hone, of Virginia, to appoint some day next week on which tney may discu. the political affairs of this State. The president wants to understand, it is said, something or the plan of organi zation of the party in the State, whose chairman is Mahone, and hence the desire for mutual understanding. ' The democrats 'are afraid the presi dent will be poisoned by Mahone's methods of antagonism to Bourbonism. Then they fear all bold men like Ma hone and ex-Attorney General Blair, who so well understand and have so fully shown to the w-orld how far be yond the line of common justice in politics the deservedly beaten party can go. Republican aspirants for office in Virginia are getting rather restive, but hope for a moving of the waters about the 1st of May. DEATH OF HENRY G. PEARSON. Postmaster of New York, on the Thirteenth .Anniversary of His Wedding. NEW YoRK, April 20-Postmaster Henry G. Pearson died at 4:20 this morning. Ex-postmaster General Thomas L. James brought the news of Mr. Pear son's death to th2e postoffice early this morning, and then entered upon the duties of his son-in-law, pursuanut to the action recently taken by Mr. Pear son's bondsmen delegAting the powers of the office to him. His first act wvas to send a telegram to Postmaster Geni eral Wanamaker apprising hlm of the death of Mr. Pearson. At the bedside of the deceased were Mrs. and Miss James, Mrs. Chulback, Charles D. Freeman, of Henry Clews & Co., and Thomas L. James. Mr. Pearson's death was from henmor rhage caused by cancer of the stomach. He had been in a comatose state from n1 o'clock yesterday morning until he died. He was 45 years of age. His death occurred on the thirteenth anni versary of his wedding. He leaves a widow, but no children. Celebration of Easter. The celebration of the queen of festi vals for 1889 is past. Who greeted his brother with a kiss and wyitn the words "Christ is risen," and received the Christian response "He is risen indeed?" This was a custom with Christians long ago, when they decorated their churches with large wax candles, and is still a custom in the Greek church. Quite a number of curious celebrations pre valed among different nationalities. It is a habit in some of the countries of England for the gentlemen to parade the streets unmiolested and thecr a -h lady he rmet to lift her veil and kiss he1'. The opposite sex practiced the rcdiculous habit of kissing the men the ne:xt day. The Irish believed in the legend of the sun's dancing on Easter morning. This belief was abolished in England by the writings of Sir Thomas B -owne. Our childrin now enjoy an old custom of coloring eggs and testing their strength. After Christ there was quite a diver sity of opinions as to the time that Easter should be celebrated. About the middle of the second century, Poly carp, one of the early Christian fathers, and Pope Anicetus consulted in Rome and adopted the present mode of cele brati ng Easter. Later, however, other notions prevailed, and not until the beginnIng of the fourth century wa the perplexing question settled by tige whole church at the council at ice, at the instance of Constantine. The time adopted by the Christian Church is the Sabbath aft2r the fourth moon aft'r Christmas. Easter can never come bc fore March 22, nor as late as April 25.. L. M1 ormons Whipped and Expelned. Sr. Lou s, April 19.--Five Mormon missionaries were severely whipped, tarred and feathered and driven from Dale county, Ala., last Monda~y night.

They have gone to Henry county, but if they attempt to hold meetings there they will again be whipped. Their followers in Dale county talk of aveng ing the whipping, but if they attempt it bloodshed will follow. Carolina at the Centennial.

Far better is it to adapt one's -self to the change of clinmate by systematic elhanges of latitude, in which grad ual approaches rather than sudden encounters shall be the rule. To me.et these requirements, the Pied mont Air-Linte is most happily situated. When the sun shines too brightly and the languor of the warm (lays of spring begin to tell u pon a delicate constitution and suggests a more invigorating temn peratuire, this great Line off'ers the beautiful section of Western North Carolina, through which it passes, with a splendid climate, noble scenery, fine hotels, and most excellent transporta tion facilities. To answer just these needs of the sojourner at the more Southern points, Ash ville, Hot Springs, H ickory, and other points in this fa mous '-Land of the Sky." invite the tourist or invalid to test their attrac tions and finish a winter's sojourn under bright skies, amid the noblest mountain scenery east of the"Rockies," breathing a pure, life-giving and life renewing air, surrounded by the crea ture comforts of well-kept hotels and tranported under conditions of high est refinement of railway travel.

The Civil Service Commission. [New York Herald, 18th.] Ser'ator Wade Hampton still has hopes that Governor Thompson, of South Carolina, will be made the democratic member of the Civil Service Commission. He called on the Presi dent to-day and when he came out he seemed to be pleased. The President told him that he had not had time as yet to come to any conclusion in the matter. The Senator said he did not. see how Governor Thompson could fail to get the appointment, he was in dorsed practically by the whole Senate. The friends of ex-Congressman Merri man, of New York, are still very confi dent and several other democratic candidates have filed papers, but are not allowing much to be said for them in public. The republicans do not seem to hanker after the vacant place which belongs to them. COLORED CHARLESTONIANS ENDORSE GOVERNOR THOMPSON. CHARLESTON, S. C., April 23.

This was owing largely to the fact, howeve, : that the' farmers could not afford to leave their farms during so busy a season. There is no Ooubt that it woulcl have .een well for every teacher and school rustee in the county to have been pres ent. But only a few, a very few, of these were on hand to hear the excellent speech of the Superintendent. The drift of the address was as to the duties of the School Commissioner and Board of Trustees. Colonel Rice bc lieves that that the prosperity of the schools depends to a large extent upon the earnestness, activity and round judgment of the School Commissioner. He believes that that this officer should untiring in his work during the school term; that he should spend a great part of his time in the field, visiting the various schools of the county, advising the teachers as to the b::ot method of instruction, and arousing the trustees upon the importance of their work. He says that some School Commis sioners do not do their duty, but are content to draw their salaries and let the schools take care of themselves. He thinks that Trustees also can do a great deal of good by paying more attention to their schools than they have in the past. The Superintendent takes a hopeful view of education in South Carolina. He feels that progress is being made, although there is fron some parties strong opposition to the common school system. This opposition arises from the fact that the system is 'not under stood. When its true mission shall. have been known there will be no tne op posed to this the grandest system for universal education the world has ever seen. In many portions of the county bet ter school buildings are sadly nceded. The school term runs through the winter months, when the severest weather is experienced. If the schools were to be opened during the summer. months, then a poor school house could be better endured. This is not the case, however. In order for a teacher to do successful work, in order that the children may make steady and~ satisfactory progress, a warm, comfortable school room is necessary. Every school house schould, be heated by a stove unless the rooms are well ceiled, because a chimney does not meet the demand. It should be a part of the work of Commissioner and Trustees to have better school rooms.. In a great many -instances, we are glad to say, the build ings are very good at present, but in many others they are not. Many of the schools of the county have already closed. Some have closed to open again during the month of July, when the summer term will begin. It is true the summer months are very warm, often uncomfortably so, but it suits the people in some sections to have a summer term, and it is right to yield to their wishes. There is no doubt that there willebe an institute held here this summer. The very best talent that can be gotten will be here to conduct the institute. The time-latter part of June-is not for distant, and every white teacher in the county should make preparations to be present. The next association will be held at Newberry on the 3d Saturday in May. Programme for the meeting will be found in the next issue of the papers. .N~OTES FROM EXCELSIOR. The thermometer is "stuck up"' anxd will likely remain so jintil fall. Mr. James D).

We are informed that the-down pas senger train on WVednesday came very near killing a .little child belonging to Mr. Milas Koon, who lives near the Koon trestle, just six miles below Pros perity. We understand the child was playing along the road when the train rounded a curve pushing the child from the track, being slightly though,.not seriously injured. Parents liviig near the railroad should be very careful and keep their children out of danger. Sunday night we attended a public meeting of the Y. M. C. A. held in Grace Church. The meeting was con ducting by Mr. A. H. Kohn, and two interestihg addresses was delivered by Prof. J. R. ISdwards, of Prosperity High School, and Mr. A. G.

We are glad to learn that there is such an interest manifested in these associa tions almost the entire world over. Let the good work continue.
