ELBEItl R. LULI.,LDL ELBERT H. AULL, - Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL, ) N EWBERRY. S. C. THURSDAY, JULY.::, 1 5b. The case of Rev. E. F. Flemmonh alias Yeldell who was arrested in Pennsylvania some ten days ago on the charge of having killed .James Black well in Edgefield in 1884, is creating so'me stir. Governor Richardson has made requisition on the Governor of Pennsylvania for ~ Yeldell, but the papers have not yet been honored by the Governor of Pennsylvania. The coloifd preachers have employed Con gressman Dalzell to look into the mat ter and are endeavoring to make it ap -pear that the arrest of Yeldell is for political reasons. An effort is being made to bring the mattEr before Presi dent Harrlsou and Attorney General Millir and have them interfere in Yeldell's behalf. We cannot see how the United States Government has any right to.interfere in the matter at all. The only question is whether the Governor of Pennsylvania will honor the requisition of Governor Richard son. If he does Yeldell will have to be brought to South Carolina; if he does not.he will.remain in Pennsylvania. Yeldell seems to admit that he was In the party that killed Blackwell. Why,did Yeldell change his name if he is such an innocent fellow. The statement is made that the row in which Blackwell was killed had no politics in it, but that he was killed in the discharge of his duty as an officer of the law in an eflbrt to arrest those who had violated the law. The+case as it now stands is an inter esting one and we await with interest the action of the authorities. REFERRED TO THE RAILROAD. Some time ago the railroad authori ties issued a circular stating that excur sion tickets would be sold during the summer on the Columbia and Green ville Railroad to the various summer resorts at a reduced price. Several parties have tried to buy such tickets at this place but no such tickets have yet been offered or put on sale at Nvewberry. Tickets have been put on sale at Green wood and possibly at other points in accordance with the circular. Parties desiring to go to Glenn Springs from S- .Greenwood can buy a ticket for the round trip to Spartanburg by way of Newberry and Alston for $4.5, while the regular fare from Newberry is $3.15, or $;.30 for the round trip, although we are forty miles nearer Glenn Springs than Greenwood. The people of New berry are anxious to know of the rail road why wi are thus treated. Is it because Greenwood has another road over which the trael could go. Then why should the anthorities ad vertise that Newberry should receive the benefits'of the reduced rates and put no tickets on sale here, and give the aigents no instructions to sell such tickets. - This matter should receive at tention from some one, and the rail should give the people of New berry some explanation for this course. AN IMPORTANT QUEsTION. -One of the important questions before. this country at this time, and that will -and does deserve serious consideration, is the prohibition question. One of the great troubles in thre dis cussion of the question is, that most of the advocates of prohibition igrill scarce permit one to differ from their methods and modes of dealing with the question without writing him.,down as opiposed to temperance, apd in favor of the free and intemperate use of whiskey. Be that as it may, and even facing the risk of being misunderstood and misin terpreted, we will essay to speak a word on the subject. We have recently read an editorial, on the phases of the liquor problem in' the New York Evening Post, and the conclusions reaehed coincide very near ly with our views of the problem. Let it be understood now that the- editor of this paper is opposed to the intemper Sate use of whiskey, and to drunkenness in all its forms, and we heartily wish the day would dawn soon when the efi'ets wvhich result from the use of whiskedy could be removed from the land. Drunkenness is a great evil. No one denies that fact. But why should there be such intemperate abuse of the man who sells the liqumor, and so much pity and sympathy for the man who habitually gets drunk and makes him self a nuisance to the community. WVhat we need in this matter -is a healthy public sentiment against drinking'and drunkenness, as well as against the business of selling it. Until we do, it is no use tr-ying to enforce temperance by putting prohibitory laws on our statute books, for unless there is a public sentiment which will demand their enforcement, they be come simply dead letters. In the article from the Post which is mentioned above, the wvriter met one man from Maine wvho spoke enthusias tically of the workinigs of the Maine law, and how njice it was to have a generation coming onl who hand never seebm the saloon. This same man sooni afte' wen on a trip to Europe, where lhe saw plenty of saloons, and where the wine glass wvas always present, and where winef was used as freely as thle Maine peoplle use tea, but to his surprise an intoxicated or dIrunken man was a rare sight. Another instance is mentioned whe ire a man had moved from a Maine town * to New York so as to rgform and get rid of the whiskey habit, wvhich he had admitted lhe could not do as long as he remained ini the prohibition town of Other instances muight be givenI to showv that this question is a many sided one. All good people desire the same end in this matter, but the question is, what is the bes.t miode to accomplish it? Intemperance is a great evil. We make no apology for the whiskey dealer, nor for the whiskey drinker, but of one thing we feel ahuost sure, that the in temperate methods of some p)rohlibitionl advocates will never accomplish the desiedresult. rie fonlowing we think statcs the prolei inide of Iehling wvin this Etue, tion.

Let us endeavor to educate pulii s:ntilnwlt up to that point, then1t y<t will i.e prepar--d to deal with the mod erate drinker. "tpon one p-liey all gooid people ear agree. and that is the organizing o public sentiment against drunkenness Too much energy has been wasted ii abusing the man who sells that of which men may get drunk, while tilerc has br<"ei too much inlulgence for the man who gets lrunik. The stronges agenwy in preveiting tn : from becoi in- drunkards during the last genera tion has not been the enactment of law to debar them front buying drink, buI the growing realization that they can not af;ord to become drunk-that il now means for the minister the forfeit" ure of his pulpit, for the lawyer the los of his clients, for the physician lth. dwindling of his practice, for the Con gressman the risk of his seat in tlh Capitol, for the business ian the shak ing of public confidence, for the labor ingi nm.n the danger of "losing hisjob.' A strik ing result of this development of sent ment was seen in the nietropoli= on the occasion of the recent centennia celebration, when, despite the man3 hundreds of saloons which were open the absence of intoxication among tht multitudes on the streets was st marked as to attract universal atteitior and comment, especially from those most familiar with the scenes of drunk enness on gala occasions, like the Fourth of July, in Portlatd and Ban gor, Maine. The chief aim of all gooe citizens in this matter should be t( make drunkenness constantly mor( and more odious, and thus less and less common; and this must alway: and everywhere he the work o: education and training in far greatei measure than that of law." A NEWBERRIAN IN LOUISIANA. A 1Pleasant Resort-Caught in a Squall-,l Visit to Iion. Jefferson Davis-A Sugar Plantation. [. peciai to The Herald and News.] THiBO1>ArX, LA., July 18.-I hav had a few weeks' experience in th< great Mississippi Valley-in many par tieulars.a very pleasing one, too. Jul1 Sth, at 7 a. m., in company with Rev W.Wimberly and -MeVoy, I left Donald sonville for the Sea shore Cam] Ground near Biloxi. Miss. Five o'cke, p. m.,!found us at the designated place This was my first visit to the sea. So ] went down to make mnyself familiar after a hurried glance I returnec to look after lodging bqt as soon a: the hour would permit we went dowt to the bathing house. Then I becamr familiar with "old ocean,"-her rest less wavelets flashed in the moon light each bearing its own light. The bath ing is as fine as one could wish. Reall the Sea-shore Camp Ground is all tha could be desired. The Gulf breeze i delightful and bracing and has th effect of driving away all the inosqitoes The place wasselected and p epared fo: an annual camp meeting and a summel resort for those who wish a quiet plaei to rest. When we arrived the meeting wa! in progress. The sermons were veri able. Noted preachers from Alabama Missississippi and Louisiana, were prEsent an-1 took part. Having lived in Nashville, Tenn. nearly two years, I naturally felt like Nashvillian, so learning that there war a number of persons present, fron Nashville, I hunted them up, anc found though 1 was in a strange plact there were some there who were 'nol strangers. It was determined that w< should make a- sea voyage. Havin1 failed to secure passage on the steamer we engaged with a small sail vessel. Our party consisted of twenty-one gen tlemien and ladies. The sailing wva smooth for about ani hour wvhen sud denly we were caught in a "squall.' We were huddled together in.the een ter of the boat and covered with piece of canvas. The tossing soon be gant to tell on some of the young ladies it was very ftnny for a while, but pres ently we began to feel a little uneasy it required a mighty effort to retairn dignified position. After having saile4 up and down for several hours we were landed on an island out in the "deep.' It was desolate-only an old fort anm a light house. These with the con tinuous- roaring of the waves were al the attract ion. After awhile, when eacl one had f ound some ii.tle memento we went on board, set our faces land ward, and sailed back under brisk wind. The white capped waves played around our vessel showing u the beauties, which had frightened some of the party in the morning. Om party was delighted and returned tc the landing singimg. A brave party-wi had weathered a storm.. On Thursday afternoon we concluded to call on Mr. Davis. None of om party-three young ladies, Misses Hardson, Holt and .Rothrock of Nash v111e-and three young ,men hac ever seent hint. But we went, your humble servant having been appoi nted to lead the party. We wvere received by Mr. Davis in his parlor. He talked pleasantly about conimon topics seemed to be in good health and spirits and movedI with a lighter step thari many m-en of fewer years. He bade each;good bye with a shake of the hand, saing some pleasant word to each. His home is on the gulf and is sur rounded with a live oak grove in whiell theanoss growvs profusely. As we left the man whose name is associated with htistory, and which will -fiMd place in mianty a song andl story yet unwritten, a feling of sadness stole upon us, that one who had received the honors of a people shoutld see thir fondest 'opes a failure. But thuts it Testerday morning I reached the Acadia Plantation, frontinig ont Bayou Lafourche which flows out of the Mis siipp)i River at Dotaldsonvllle. Thtis plantation is -one of the best in tlh parish. It is devoted largely to sugat growing.? Thu.sugar houses are amron. the finest in the state. I not iced fifteen large boilers enmployed, but to speak of thte e<iuipmenits for sugar making is mtore thant I amt prepared to de now. In riding over the plantation it is easy to see that the cultivated lands are too lowy to he dIrainled in the or inary way. There are a great num-~ ber of ditches e!utying into a large canal wiih separates the ctltivated lands front the swmp There is a big levee Onl the swvamnp side of this canal to keep the swamp water off' the fields. When it is raining large (en gines are kept ruin ninig night and day~ trowing~ the wvater out of the canal itto the swmp This. is the onily nieans by whlich tol save thte crop-s fromi In thle cultivattion of rice-nd a oo deal of r.ieeis cul:ivated here I the fields are suippliedl wit hi water f romt the bayou, the wvater being' thrown up by engines. Faintig is ai p)retty e cotly businetss, but it i. also a patyinig busintess. On tis.farit I ntotic that each sqJuad at' hands. is under the immtnediate super. iimon of an overseer. who rides rtgt xlongi wi th them, and the whole is under the general overseer. [ wvat.:hed te plowingr for a little while. Most of thec plows' were two horse plows, but s.omet were drawn by tour mules eae cx~(ultiv-attin. The laborers are geeraly ntegriie.s. but there are some whites usually foreigners. many of them can't speak English, which howy Lver is ntot much oaf a draxw back, for on this lace the French, Italian. Spanish Portugese antd German are all spoken. [t makes one feel as if he was really in a foreign land.
