H-. AU LL, EDITOR. ERT H.A Proprietors. . .EHOUSEAL,4 NEWBERRY. S. C, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 26, 18S9 THAT "BOYCOTT" AND "NEWSPAPER TRUST." The Press and Reporter, a newspaper published at Prosperity in this county, has been frothing and foaming all the fall at the Master and Probate Judge because they did not see fit to do their advertising in its columns. Heretofore we have not thought it our duty to pay any attention to the vile stuff it was about these officers, but the' tirade in las -eek's issue -f that sheet, on Judge Fellers, 1 which the news papers of Newberry are brought in, makes it incumbent *upon us to take brief notice of it. In the issue of the Press and Repor ter of last week Judge Fellers makes a plain and dignified statement of his reasons for awarding the advertising of his office as he does. In connection with this the editor of the Press and Reporter makes reply in a column of vile stuff in which -he talks about a "newspaper trust," "want of back bone," "political influence" and all that sort, and even threatens Judge Fellers with the ballots of the people to force him to give his advertising to that newspaper. In the first place we remark that the Press and Reporter, or any other paper published in Newberry, has no right to demand of a public officer any explanation why that officer does not give it his advertising. And as a matter of right it has no more claim upon the advertising of a public officer than it has of any individual. A public officer awards the advertising of his office just as an individual does, and that which can be had for the least money is not always the cheapest article. The Press and Reporter and the - newspapers of Newberry are private " enterprises and why should the people be called upon to force a public officer to give the advertising patronage of his office to any private enterprise in order that the profits from such advertising may put money into the pockets of an individual. There is neither rhyme nor reason in it. He must act on the same :principle as an individual and give his advertising to such paper or papers as -give it the greatest pub licity for the outlay of money. If be can make such arrangement with one or both the newspapers at Newberry he has a right to do it. If the paper at Prosperity can meet the -requirements of the case the officer has a right t~o contract for his advertising with it. But for i. newspaper pub ihed either in Prosperity or New be-ryto-alanta matter of right thie advertising of either ,the Probate Judge or Master is utter nonsense.f As to the "boye'ott" Ik- which the 'editor speaks as having been placed upon him and his paper we have only to remark what a- gentleman from the country suggested to us the other day in speaking of this matter, and we hope the editor will realize the truth of the of the remark. It was that if a boycott *had been placed upon the editor of the Press and Reporter it was placed there many years ago, and that by nature herself when she was distributing brains. As a matter of fact there is no boy cott placed upon the Press and Repor ter by the Master and Probate Judge nor by the newspapers of' Newberry. No more than by any individuals who give their advertising to the papers at Newberry and do not give it to the Press and Reporter. The people do not pay the money for the advertising done by the:Probale Judge and Master. It comes out of private individuals, and if the parties interested, and who pay for the advertising are satisfied, nobody else has any right to complain.. While Judge Fellers does not rieed any defense at our hands, yet we can not help remarking that the attack upon him personally is uncalled for, mean and malicious. As to pluck andibackbone Judge Fel 1 'rs has more in his little finger than the editor of the Press and Reporter has in his whole person if it were all backbone and pluck. He has been proven in times that tried men arnd showed what stuff they were made of, and he has never shirked, or stood back when duty and his country called. He * wears upon his person now an empty sleeve and the people amongst whom be has moved and lived all his life know what stuff he is made of, and un less we are decieved in the people of Newberry County the base and ground less assertions of the Press and Repor ter can never shake the confidence and esteem in which he is held, by the peo ple of his native county, to the service of whom he has given the best years of his life. Who is the editor of thbe Press and Reporter any how that he should make such an assault on a man likeJake Fellers? WVhat claim has he upon the people of Newberry?: What has he (lone for thenm that he should presume to ask t hem to use the ballot box to put mren in otliee who will help his private busines4? We say it bege and we will s'iy it anywhere, that if Newberry C.>unty ever hadl a faithful, conscien tious, and upright public officer, one wvho tried to perform his duties with partiality to nione and justice to all, that man is Jacob B. Fellers. This much is saiid in regard to Judge Fellers wvithout his knowledge or consent. The very thing that the Press and Reporter condemns now he says would be right if the advertising were given it, and the newspapers at Newberry would have no right to "kick." Why then is the Press and Reporter kicking so vigoronsly? NOW as to that newspaper trust at Newberry. There is no newspaper trist here, anid never has been, and when the Press and Reporter says there is it is ant assertion which is, as a mat ter of fact, without f.oundation. The I arrangements the paper s have 1 ere for the oadv'rtising of the M:.ser and I Probate Judge were in existence long before the Press and reporter was started, and when the editor of the H Press and Reporter was-where? We dont know. It was simply a business r transaction. We told the officers we ic would do their advertising for a certain I amount. They accepted the proposi- h tion. That is all there is in it. As we said before, that which is offered for the least money is not always the a cheapest. But the editor intimates P that he has a biggGr circulation in the county than either of the newspapers i at Newberry. That statement we be- v lieve is untrue. A large proportion of I the people of this county have never seen his paper. s As a matter of fact there is a gene- p rous rivalry and lively competition be- P tween the newspapers at Newberry, h but we are not controlled by sordid h and selfish motives and petty jealousies. p Then the farmers are appealed to to U break this trust because there is "po- T litical influence" at the back of the t newspapers at Newberry. There are p many people, politicians and editors at 1 this time who are trying to pose as the r a friends of the farmer, and who are try- a ing to get on the farmer's wagon, and I that is your scheme, is it? The farm- " ers are not such fools as to be gulled by every upstart who comes along and s tries to hop on their wagon, and whenr you say there is political influence back g of the newspapers at Newberry, mean ing some faction or party within the l Democratic ranks, so far as you refer to this paper, you say what is a mali- t cious falsehood, and you know it to be one when you say it. The editor of j this paper has made it a point to keep from these columns anything that e would show partiality to any candi date or faction within the Democratic :s party. Our aim has been to keep har- u mony within the ranks, and on a former occasion we said in these columns: "The influence of this paper shall never be given to further the purposes c of any party within the party while it r is under the present management, but we shall ever strive to stand on high U ground;awarding to each man his rights and keeping an eye single to the ? best interests of the whole people. Whenever we become so blinded by par- o tisanship as not to be able to do this 0 we shall retire from journalism." - Can the editor of the Press and Re porter say truthfully that he has done the same thing? Ah, but he says L "perhaps" this is true. Yes, and "per haps" he has a purpose in such flings. t The whole motive of all this tirade is to make the people of one section of this county array themselves against another section and to try to make the farmers believe there is a great big court house ring that they must crush, and in doing it they must crush out the papers at Newberry and support the Press and Reporter. More than that. It is an unfair and contemptible effort to injure our private business and the newspaper that we have werkedi hard to build up. By insinuating that the "trust" is something like the "jute trust" it is sought to take from us the patronage and support of the farmers,i who have heard much recently of trusts. We have no objection to com petition, and we want The Herald and News to stand on its merits. But such competition as attempts to insinuate I itself into public favor in a manner as 1 is attempted by the Press and Reporter in this instance is on a plane very low indeed, and much lower than we ever hope to descend. Only a small man, a very little man, who has not the inter ests of the county at heart, is capable C of such action. DEATH OF HENRY WV. GRADY. News reached New berry on Monday f of the death of Henry W. Grady, editor C of the Atlanta Constitution, at his home in Atlanta that morning. s He came home from Boston only a r few days ago where he delivered a most eloquent address, and was taken sick r immediately, which sickness resulted ' as above stated. The talented editor, the eloquent t orator, the noble citizen, lies silent int death. His pen silent-his voice forever hushed! His death is a great calamity to I the South, and to the whole country. It has not been a year since the gifted Dawson passed over the river, and now c the eloquent and talented Grady has I g)ne to join the innumerable host. HeC was yet a young man just entering, c you might say, a career that promised s all that earthly ambition could hope L for or desire. Two of the brainiest, editors in the South within a twelve months have passed into the realms of t the great beyond. Truly the dealings of Providence are li mysterious and beyond human ken. o) But "He doeth all things well." Ii A brainy, eloquent and talented man has fallen, and we drop a tear to his ~ memory. b His own words-the tender and touching words he applied to the gifted i Dawson we can now truthfully apply v~ to his own noble spirit: "Farewell, a thou golden-hearted'gentleman!" t b CHRISTM!As. p The Christmas tide is upon us-.t Many happy children will go to bed on o Christmas eve to dream of Santa Claus a and the many niice things lhe will bring i them during the night, and it is right h that it should be so. In many homes, p however, there is a vacant chair. A a happy heart that was there last year ( to enjoy the good things will be miissed in that family this Christmas tide. The great world mxoves on and.all is - forgotten, but the family or the father and mother, around whose hearth the t absent one is no,t, never forgets the one whose place is not filled and there is t' u dness there. But with faith in hi m whose birth is cornmemnorated on tis ):casion, they can look to the future ti and the happy meeting in the by and I( b beyond the river. Christmas should be a time of joy for a it commemorates an event which is the p: sentre of all history. The coming into the world of the Son of God and tihe Saviour of ment. Those who lived be-p oe his comning looked forward to it as ii: he event of the future. Those who tl iave lived since look back to it as the 0 etre of all history. in Let us enjoy the festivities as becom- cc The Boycott Explained. rom the Press nd Reporter, ISt1h.] F. V. (apers, Esq., Editor of the re's and Reporter, Prosperity, S. C.: ear Sir.-I have never participated a Newspaper con troversy, nor do propose to do so now. But since you ave seen proper to use the columns of te paper of which you are the Editor, your issue of y oV. 27th, for the pur >se of making soime very grave charges rainst mne, I think it nothing but roper that I, injustice to myselt, tould through the sate ehannel make nie statentent by way of explanation h reference to the advertisements of "hich you coiplain. You (do not seem to understanu why give my legal-adA ertiseimheuts to the ewspapers pubi}ahied at the county tat. I thought you knew, and had roposed that all three of tne papers ublished them and divide the one rice betweeut them, which the papers ere declined to do. (,lf course they ad a right to deciine if they saw prc er to do so.) In the 1ir.. lace I nderstand the intention of the law to e that these advertisemeits should be iven as much publicity in the coun i possible without unneccessary ex ense. Acting under this conviction I ave given them to these papers, for the -ason that both papers will publis ud charge but the one price anid hot It re circulated all over t he eO my. If were to give them to you i.no, t ould subject the estates under pro ess of settlement in the Probate Court, additional expense which I cannot ae the necessity for, and which I do ot think would be right. Ifi were to ive themn to you instead of these they rould only be published in one paper, nd that paper having very little circu tion in the upper half of the county. If these papers will not take you into heir arrangelent and divide with you, hat is a matter between you and them, nd not one to he making wa'- on pub officers about. Of course tie more papers these ad ertisemnients are in without additional xpense the better 1 would like it. As to your charges of partiality and elfishness, I would haveyou distinctly nderstand that I claim to move upon higher plane than to allow myself to e actuated by any such sordid motives i discharging tho duties 'if a public tfice in which the whole people of the ounty are interested. It has ever been iv earnest endeavor since i have been toflice to discharge its duties faith ally, fairly and impartially to the very est of my ability. If I were to yield to the promptings f iiy own personal feeltngs it would e more natural that I should show artiality to the people of that seetion f the county, where I havespent most f the best days of my life, with whomt have been intiimateiy associated fron ny earliest childhood, among whom I tave always had so many true and de 'oted friends who never failed to do e a kindness when opportunity flered. I would feel that I was guilty f the basest ingratitiude ifi did not at all imes remember them with the very rarmest feelings of friendship and ratitude for the many kindnesses they tave done mue. As to the insinuation that I would .ttetpt to force the farmers into sub cribiug for pavers that iey d o not 'ant is equally absurd. Born and aised as I was on a farm myself, and taving the most of my lif either been etually engaged in agricultural pur uits or had an interest in them, it od very naturally be presumed that would have a fellow-feeling for the armer, and wvould be pleased to.see his aterest advanced in any legitunate I certainly think that you had to raw very largely on your imiagmiationl o reach the conclusioni that I had any~ aclination) to put any obstacle in the ~av of the advancemien.t of the mnterest f 'the farmers, and I might add, or .n othier class of good citizens.. I hope this little explanaJ~tioni will be atisfactory to you and that you wvill tot in the future allow that fertile na~ginationi of yours to dlemoralize 'our better judgment. .1. B. FEL.ER~S. Neberry, S. C., Dec. Uth, 1889J. HE BOYCOTT AND NEWSP~APER TR EST. OUNTY OFFICERs WITUT THE NE CESSARY BACKBONE To CONTROL SHIE P'ATRONAGE (IF THEIR We are pleased and suripr'ised at the regoig attemipt to explain the boy tt. Pleased that the Judge has re ponded to the Press and Reporter's ivitationi to make an explaniation, and urprised that one holding the.respon ble position of Judge of Probate d id ot write a stronger article. The Judge's troductory remnarks-"I have never rtcpated in a newspaper contra ersy"-iindicate that he felt inade uate for the task before him ; hence Lie apology in advance. Doubtless Lie Judge finds comifor~t in the fact Liat he is not the only mian wvho has tade a poor out whein on the -ong side of a controver.,y. It apears to us that the Press and eporter's article of Noavember 27th as made the .Judge somewhat sensi ye, but he must remember that the :s of public oflicers are opened to -ticisn. Criticism is helpful to wise en, for they can ap)preciate just criti s, and are possessed of sufficient >rage to profit by it to the extent of >riecting their mistakes. The acts of ih men show that they mtove upon a ighi plain, and in judging men their sts are much better criterions to go by ian their words of self praise. We claim that the Judge's own ar cle substantiates the grave charges the Press anid Reporter. He con sses that he gives the two papers p)ub shed at the county seat the patronage is oflice, and endeavors to excuse inself for so doing. His excuses are uiliating indeed, for ini theni lhe vir tlly acknowledges that lie is at the eev f the Newspaper Trust formed y thie newspapers at the county seat r the pupose of conttrollinog the.coun Sprinting, and the confession re als te fact that want of backbone is here the fault rests. If the Master d1(1Probate Judge had the pluck to kee the patronage of their ottices from ee Newspaper Trust for awvhile, it 'ohld soon weatken. iTue their would som oncrisk to run. Perhaps their is r)ical influencee back of the News per Trust at thme cotuty seat. But ee Trust shoumld bie puit -down. and the ieers ought niot to hesitate in taking stand. The Jute Trust, with all of trog p;ro)p, couhld not withlstand ee united ethbrts of the farmetrs. Its itry andt fate shows what lhe pea ee an and wvill do whein they feel that I InjuLst ice is beingt perpectr'ated. Thle te iitlng of 1(ti much power in certain rtioms will no.t bie tolerated by the There is ino good reason why the idde(if Probate andl Master of New .rr County should allow the necws tprs at thle counity seat to contro d e.patronge (of their offices~. The Press and Reporter (lid not care eter into a controversy, and( dhe :e to avoil suich if possible. IThe rote .J udge andl Master were visited, cite propo(sino lOlwas macde to th'm tat the pat ronlage of their otlices he vdd between ihe thr,~*i payers. The ewwspaper TIrust as the Judlge admits hts comuntiication: declinedt to sub it to any snieh arraingement. The ops sitioi was a fair (one, and as the dge eof Probate and Master failed to stin the Press and Reporter ini its :tio, the only recourse left was to blcly criticise the (officers for allow g themselves to tbe controlled by N ewpaper Trust. If the oficeers' jett to thc publicity of the matter c have themiselves to blame. Refer g to the Newspaper TIrust at the unt seat, the Judge says : "If the ip~rs will n'~t t..ke you ;Xl[liJ<x Is OP-_E2lTI TG - - _<TOYS +(ady, Iut ~~GIVE HIM A CALL int(, their arrangeruent and divide wil yeu, that is a iuatter between you ar theni, awl not one to iiake war c public otticers about." No, sir; the Press and Reporter w not allow you to shift your responsit lity in any such rianner. You we ekcted Probate Judge, and not tl Newspaper Trust. You are the prop one to control the patronage of yol oflice. The Press and Reporter is i lo''king to the Newspaper Trust. It J(.nkiiig to 1you. Nw, J udge, what you say abo your feelings for the people of this se tion of county, the time when y< followed the plow, &c. &c., is nigh pretty and touching talk, but unle your acts convince old friends and a qiuaintances that the forming of new ti has not caused you to forget your fii love, there is great danger of attacks absent-mindedness on their part at time when you would like for then remernber you. We cannot speak positively, bl have reason to believe-unless the Try has a very small circulation in the ci according to population-that the Pre and Reporter has a larger circulati< in the country than either one of t] papers published in the city of Nei berry. It is natural to suppose th the two papers fo-ming the Trust, te veiy great extent, circulate in the sar sections of country. If one paper at t] county seat and one at Prosperity w selected for advertising purposes, th4 that part of the law requiring adve tisements to be "given as much publi ity in the county as possible" wou be complied with. Of course, such a tion would require the officers to slig' one of the papers published at tl county seat. Has it ever occurred to the Proba Judge and Master that the Ncewspap Trust would have to publish the a vertisenents free just like the Pre and Reporter has to do now, if it d not accept such terms for the same they might make? If the ProbateJudl and Master would take the control the advertising patronage of their of c-s out of possession of the Newspap Trust, as it is their duty to do, a. offer it to the three papers, the Pre and Reporter would only claim its p: for a third and let the other go back the estates. Would'nt this solve tl problem? The advertisements wou receive as much publicity as befoi and the cost would be two-thirds lo than what it had been previously. T1 Trust would have no right to kick, it refused to take what was otlered it. We are sorry, Judge, that the Pr( and Reporter's article of Novemb 27th so badly 'rattled" you that y< mistook soiid facts for the productio of a ''fertile intaginat ion.'' Under t circumstances we will have to excu you. THE LEGIsLATURE. The Legislature adjo)urned on Tu day morning to let the mernbers homne in time for their Christmas di ner. Trhe Clemson college bill w passed by some amendments in t Senate; and so far as Legislstive ena< nient. goes we have an agricultural c< lege. The bill, as it passed, we w publish in full next week.

I nstead of the proceeds of the se and lease of delinquent lands by t Sinking F'und Commiission, the sum $15,000 is appropriated for the purp of the building and maintenance of t college. Ten thousand dollars is appropriat fromn the money arising from the pri lege-tax on fertilizers for the year er ing Oct. 31, 1889, and $15,000 from t same source (luring the year endii Oct. 31, 1890.
