LL ,'... i . A LL, Eiri:. E LBRT H AU L,Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL, NEWBERRY. S. C. THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1889. We publish this week a short edito --rial from the News anl Courier in which it is said that a refinery for working the crude cotton seed oil is wanted in this State. That is what The Herald and News claimed and advo cated several weeks ago, when the sub ject of building a mill at this place was discussed. We were informed that all the refineries in this country were either owned or controlled by the trusts, and it seemed to us rather, queer that these other mills and smaller mills that were not in the trust, and others: that do not want to enter the trust, did not unite and build a refinery of their own and then they conld be independent of the trusts. That is what we want, and the time to build it is now, before all the mills that have been built were either built by it or are now controlled by it. Then let these other mills that are out of the trust go to work and build a refinery of their own in South CarolIna. If not 9 they have either to be swallowed by the trust or pay a royalty to have the oil re fined. And in order to make it market able it must berefined. While on this'subject we would like I to ask, what has become of the effort to I build a mill in Newberry -? Are our I people afraid of the trusts, or do they tiiink we do not need any money in vested in such manufacturing enter- I prises cotton seed oil mills; or do they think it best for the farmers. and i the town to let the cotton seed be shippcd away and the meal shipped back to us for fertilizer. These things, the men who have the money in the I to'wn and county, should think of. The 2 cotton seed oil business is growing. It 1 is a paying business. The farmers are c going to continue to sell their seed to I the mills and buy the meal for fertilizer. i In fact, it is considered one of the best f fertilizers we have.. A mill here that t would consume the seed of the county ( seems to us would be a profitable enter- I pris', and we believe the money to s build it could be easily raised if any a body with money would lead off in the s effort. a THAT ROAD CONGRESS. The Columbia Register claims to have advocated the holding of a road ' congress some years ago, but does not care who is the originator of the move ment, just so the congress is held. The i Charleston World started the last agiti. tion of this subject in the State. But it makes little difference who began it. 12 What we want is the time and place to I be fixed for holding the congress, and ~ setion taken. Some improvement in our public roads is greatly needed, and a the people will hail with delight any r steps that will benefit and improve the public roads.~ Let some one suggest where the congress will be held, and -wheiwand. how many delegates from each county, and how they shall be elected. If any change in the road law or sys temn of wvorkirig ihe roads is to be pre sented to the Legislature it is time the plans were maturing so that our legis lators could be studying the suggestions a and be prepared to discuss them and " offerother suggestions and improve- ' ments. We want to see some plan in- b augurated by which the convicts could . be put to work on our public roads. They work in phosphate mines and onD farms, and on railroads, and why not ~ on public roads? If only one road in a each county could be put in good condi- 0 tioni each year, it would be a long stride ~ forward. But to the congress. We would sug gest Greenville as a good place to holdt this congress, and some time in August " as a good time. b A RELIC OF BARBARISM. People who stop to nonsider the ac tions as men must sometimes ask them- d selves whether we are fully civilized or y not, even with all our boasted civiliza- a tion. When men meet in a pen, as it were, and pound themselves up for money, and when hundreds of people fock to see the operation, and when s the daily newspapers are filled with ac counts of the fighting, and when a hungry public waits in eager expectan- y cy to hear the final results of the fight, N even to the minutest details, one almost feels that there is still a relic of barbar- g ism left among us. The fight between Kilrain and Sullivan in a little town in L Mississippi on Monday has attracted national attention. The Governors of three States attempted to prevent the a fight. The people wanted it. The newspapers were full of it. The fight L came. Sullivan won the belt, having g, knocked Kilrain out on the seventy- n; i fth.round. We suppose thousands of dollars were bet all over the land on 1 this contest of men with their brute force. The whole business is demoral- g izing, and it does look like the thing could have been prevented if there had L. been a healthy public sentiment against The News and Courier copies the fol lowing from the Philadelphia Times onE the subject, which is very timely just at this time:E "The only entirely satisfactory result E of any modern prize tight, viewed fromD the standard of public morals, was one D fought some years ago in New Jersey, - when one was killed in the fight and Se the other died in prison; but such beneficent results are irare" "Prize-lighting is simply unmixMd Al brutality, and the laws of every State J should not only prohibit such brutal by exhibitions under severe penalties, but they should make it a highly penal* offence for any man to contract or to traini for such a tight. It is a mere ple mockery of suppressing prize fights tai when S~ullivan can openly train in New Ar York for such a contest, wvith his con tract published to the world and theC stakes publicly held by a known custo- Ca d ian While human brutes can be pub- Be icly trained for publicly contracted battles in New York or Pennsylvania, O it is simply the cant of the Pharisee toO codemni Louisiana for permitting the Af tight on her soil. Every State that fai: alows public contracts, public stakes and public training - for prize fights within its bordersis responsible for this bui blt ,rtaliwty upon our civilization."

P1.AQUEtI Nl:, La., July -, IS9. - If you are not too busy, I will ad lrcss you from beyond the Mississippi River; from where the aged cyprus, kissed by a thousand gulf breezes, now tries to veil itsiagewith the gray moss which drops' low from the topmost branches ; from where molasses grow Lnd where sugar is as plentiful as sand ; rom where the orange and banana ,row together as common trees; from he home of the Creole who has from lays of old betn the subject of song and to1j. Last Tuesday morning I bad adieu to: Wesley Hall, my home for the past two rears. As I walked down its magnificent itair way I felt a little sad, I took one Look at the stately building, the scene >f so many pleasant events, the home of so many warm friends. I stepped into ,he carriage drove away,turning to take 6look as I left the main building. In few minutes the South bound train arried me into a strange section. The il)s and valleys never shown to better idvantage. An hour's ride b-ought us A the historic field of Franklin. There m the heights .v i r_:u ains of the )ld fort, here below the open field 1 vhere many who wore the "grey" laid own their lives. And then just be rond the river on the hill is the old ;omb around which hangs a mystery. [t is known to be associated with love md death, for a young man sleeps here, and for many years there was me chief mourner-a lady. A few hours brought us to the Ten lessee River, then for hours more we ugged a long up the bill and moun ains toward-Birmingham. The whole ange of country seems a wilderness-no ,ultivat^d fields The entire wealth is mnder the surface. Coal and iron .are Lbundant. Birmingham could not be i een for the smoke. The little I saw was ron, iron, iron. When we awoke in the morning we vere just rnuning into Bay St. Louis, vith the Gulf full in view Our train ushed down to the water and skimmed ,long its surface for hundreds of yards. J t looked is if we were going to sea on ur train. By and by we struck terra ut there was very little firma about it; n short it was boggy frOm that point on, t DrItwo hours. The rain was falling very Lard when we reached the city of New )rleans. I was in the city about thirty a iours, saw the principal buiidings and c treets. But above all I was astonished a t the tonges I heard. -French, Spanish ith a mixture of German, seemed iore frequent than English. Another f tive thing was the lottery ticket et rs. It seemed as if every'corner a a ad'its man, and the show windows t rere lined with them. And not a few p ery fine buildings were pointed out as 0 )ttery houses, buildings erected with a rize money. Just now the city is all astir about 11 Lie big fight, which will shortly take lace. I was not so favorably im ressed by the appearance of the city- i > low--too much mud and water. p Where I am now is much more agree- ' ble-but the musquitoes. There is no st for the weary. J. M.

The following conimittee was ap >ointed to see what arrangements can e made for fertilizers for another year : F Banks, J A Sligh, w B Boinest. The following preamble and resolu ions were adopted : In view of the action of the various ub and County Alliances in opposition o jute and in favor of cotton bagging, e it resolved 1. That this County Alliance endorse nd sustain the action so taken and .dopt cotton bagging for the present rop, and that we at once proceed to seertain the amount which will be teeded for sub-Alliances and authorize ,ur trade houses to send in their order o the company authorized to manu icture said bagging. 2. That as our efforts are in favor of 11 farmers out of, as well as in our )rder, that we secure as far as we can heir co-operation in this endeavor to nnish or destroy a Trust which has ppressed us to the extent of its power, nd would still oppress ii' possible. 3. That we will not regard as friend y to our interests any merchant wvho landles Jute Baggin.g, except so far as he amount of Cotton Bagging manu ictured may fall short of supplying emand, as it is plainly to the general ferest of our mountry to use our own roduct to prepare our crops for market rhen practicable, thus keeping in our aidst a large amount of money which rould otherwise go out ; and, further, s we believe it to oe a selfish and nar aw policy to put any obstacle in the ray of our complete success. 4. That we now set on foot some an by which Alliance men may p:o ure fertilizers for crops of 1890 on the est possible ternis, so that if satisfacto y tams cannot be secured then that re firmly resolve as a ur'it not to use ommercial fertilizers at all, and that re refuse to receive fertiliners unless ut up in cotton sacks. 5. That if the manufacture of cott n aed oil is a commendable industry' and bere is so much money in it as to mse the almost spontaneous upspring ig of little oil milUs in every village nd hamlet of the country, that we, de farmers and producers of the sca(1 aould take advantage of the opportu ity offered us of taking this great yuthern industry, as it is called, into ur own bands, and reaping the profits ecruing therefroum, and to this end re suggest to the State Alliance, and irough the State Alliance to the Na onal Alliance, that steps be taken >wards the assumption of full control f this entire business.

To Editor of The Herald and News: There is a "trite" saying among m:Ien of "Snowed under in July." It fitly illus trates the condition or the Ant i-Whit mire faction in the l'osttti-e ti-lit Truly they have come to naught. Henry Kennedy, the ll:annibal of the Republican party in this county. rathere'd his clans from the (iutlying posts; and as prophecied by the lress soue tiae sine "there was ntausic in the .air." A big demonstration was proposed by the Anti-Wiitnmireites, when they expected to have a bras-, band froni somewhere in the rural dis trict, discoursing such natural airs as "Rockum Jubelee," "Johnnie get your hair cut," &c., decoying the colored brother to the woods, where under the subtle influence of barbecued beef and grunters they expected to get his en dorsenient for the opposing candidate. But the colored brother is not so easily deluded as a few years ago. They put their extremities (a good size No. 10 o. the avarage) down on the whole con cern, and followed their Moses to an other rendezvous, where it is said, at least eleven or twelve hundred gathered, and listened to speeches from several divines, rounding up with F. L. Hicks, who came from Washington for the purpose; then with repeated calls for Kennedy who finished up with a unanimous endorsement of Whitniire. The most ingenious part was the circulation of certificates of en dorsemnent which were signed to the number of eight hundred and seventy tive on the ground. Judging froni r p pearance, all would have done so, hu for the rain.

THE PREAMIBLES AND RESOLUTIONs. We the Republicans of Newberry County in mass meeting assent bled, do hereby unanimously declare the sub joined Preamble and Resolutions to ex press the will and wish of the party iii this county: WHEREAS, There are a few dIisaffect ed men in the town of Newberry, styling themselves "a factioi of the Republican party," who, by falsehood, deceit, cunning and trickery, are tryiig to defeat the expressed wish of the majority; that wish having been again and again expressed by letters anti petitions and lastly by a mass meeti't; held at the Court House in New berry on Tuesday, the :25th, ult., and WHEREAS, That wish has again been tried to be defeated by the same "fue tion" in a manner so cunningly de vised as to entrap the unwary and thereby unconsciously make i,hei de feat themselves. But "He who tenipe:s the winds to the shorn lamb," h: brought their counsels to naught, and scattered their deep laid schenmes, "where the woodbine twinnetli;" and WHEREAS, It has been asserted to the administration, that there are nun bers of white men who would be and are secretly to-day in the ranks of the a Repubiican party, if assurance is given them of recognition by the appointing I power. The strictest search has failed I to produce one. The mass meeting of the 25 ult., has failed to unearth one. This mammoth meeting of to-day faled I to discover one. Where are they ? A commission duly signed by the Pres dent of these United States is the only lever that will be efficacious in prloduei ing one from the arctic climes -of castet prejudice into the warm sunshine of < party affiliation with the negro, for there is not a white man living to-day 4 in the country who has artiliat"d withI the party except since the election, and then only at night, in the wvoods or in sonme obscure p)lace; andt WHEREAs, WVe hope to end this "fac tional" tight that has assumed such an unseemly attitude that we rear the ad- I ministration is at a loss to know who is the proper person to appoint, to satisfy 1 the community and patrons, as well as 1 the true anid tried members of the party. Therefore be it resolved: 1. That we most respectfully urge his: Excellency President Harrison to con tinue the app)ointment of Charles WV. Whitmire to the position of Postmaster at this place, as being emrinently fit for the positioni and a representative of the party in this county and whom we be lieve will till it with crei'tt to himself and honor tohis rrce.' z2. That we condemn the so-cailed Chappell and Daniel "taction"' a5 un worthy of belief, and opposedl to the best interests of the party and race. That we know them to I'e "backed up)" by the advic'e and money ofn those otice-seekers to defeat the wish and will of the Republican majority. 3. That we earnestly and sincerely believe that the appointment of ('has. W. Wflitmire will giveluniversal sati.' faction, be very generally ae eptable,e and naturally serve to heal the now discordant element. 4. That a copy of these preambles and resolutions be immiediately for warded to the President andh Po-stmias ter General, praying them to set at rest the anxiety nowv felt in tIhis tmat-I ter-.

The wills ahendy n :stablislied ground about 511,010 tons leSt o year, and it is estiniated that the score hi )f sna . mills which have been c'hurL 're(d thisyear, and many of which w:'l lie ready for work by the time the grow ing cotton crop Is gathered, wil: con-1l umie at least 51),000 tons more. ri The average crop of seedI in So ;th 3arolina is es ilmat.d at 215,030 long e :ons, and the greater part of the crop o will be handled before very long by the tc local mills. The refineries in the No.h- 3 ?rn States, we take for granted, in the ibsence of information t-> the contrary, re controlled by the Trust. If so, they vill play into the hands of the Trust uills, of course, and can either keep he product of the local mills out of nlarket altogether, or compel them ti cel the crude oil on tern's favorable ta a ble Trust.

Bourke, of the 3d cavalry, and Prof. Painter, of Boston, representing the Indian Rights Association, have re turned from a trip through the South, undertaken at the instance of the In dian Rights Association for the purpose of selecting a site fora future home for Chief Geronino and his band of Apa ches, and they are now engaged upon their report to the war department. These Indians are at present confined in very cramped qluart.,rs at Mount Vernon barracks, Ala. and it is the wish of the Indian Rights Association to provid. them with a tract of land con tainiug about 10,000 acres. Capt. Bourke .nd Prof. Painter have found such a tract in the Indian reservation in Swani County, N. C., which is at pre sent occupied by about 2,000 Cherokees. The Cherokees are willing to sell, and the citizens of that locality are anxious to have the Indians come, as they be lieve it will increr -e the market for their products. Geronilno is delighted with the prospect of removal,- but is disappointed at not getting back to Arizona. The Government, however, will not allow h im to go west of the Mississippi again, notwithstanding his protestations that he wants to be a gcod Indian. Capt. Bourke and Prof. Painter will recommend the removal of the band, and as soon as the removal is authorized by the secretary of war the Indian Rights Association will buy the land for them.
