ELBLEI:T IL. AT'LL. Ixr~ ELBERT H. A ,E rn ELBERT H. AULL, r Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL.) : EW BERiY. S. C, THUSRDAY, MARCH 1i). THE SUL"ILUS. Before the present administration got cbarge of atrairs the surplus in the Uniite.l states Trea.ury was a thing that caused considerable alarm. It is no longer a matter of grave concern, in fact it is beginning to b but a myth or a thing that was. It is stated that the ailpro)riations that the Republica-:s have now mapped out will consume the entire surplus. Sone are even opposing an appropria tion to the world's fair of 192 on the ground that $1,;00,000 will be Icces sary to meet the extraor-dinary ex penses: "1N) millions tust be appro priated for dependent pensions; :20 n:illions a year for rivers and harbors, the same amiount for public buildings, as much more for a navy, and a like sum for coast lefenses. 1i millions a year for a postai telegraph, 10 millions a year !fr education, not to mention steamnship subsidies," and so it go-s, and the surplus is expected to be gone. The Atlanta Constittution quotes from the Springiield Republiean on this subject which says: 'The Renublican party 'is committed by its platform, Presidt it's message, cabinet reports and recommendations, and bills already framed by leaders, to sclhemes involving the spending of from iH2,000p,1N to 3:),(Ku),i00 above the present cost of running the govern ment: and it is also committed to plans to extinguish the surplus, on which these schemes are based, by a reduction of the revenues. It is manifestly im possible to meet an expense of ), (00),000 with a surplus of $lu0,n00,000; it is still more impossitle to meet such an expense with no surplus. As a mat ter of fact, and we speak advisedly, there has never existed a man or party which could itake either zero or II0),00),(KK) equal to S'4'l,INMN,Nlir or :;(I,-x000. The Republicans think they can solve that problem, and Mr. Norse follows up to the point of be lieving that zero can be made to equal $:2 0lpt,0, but not a dollar more. The country awaits the result with interest-and it wili keep a sharp eye on the principal.' THE DIFFE 'ENCE. The writer spent the part of a day last week in the gro; wing little city of Sumter. The time we had there was limited and we did not have an oppor tunity to see muc-h of the city. We had the pleasure however of meeting two former Newberrians, the Rev. E. Tr. Hodges. tile pastor of the Methodist ehurch at that place, and his sister, Miss Helen Hodges. They are well pleased with Sumter, and the city seemls to agree with theml. It was only about a year ago thaft - Newberry was discussing the advisa . b:lity and thle practicability of putting inl an electric light plant for the light ing of our streets and dwellings. About the same time the matter of an electric light plant for Sumter wvas being dis .The difference in regard to .this en terprise is that Sumter is lighted by electricity, has her plant built and in fitle trim, and every one is delighted. Newberry has alnost forgotten that such a thing was ever talked here. The little talk that wye had. in New berry abouit electrie lights was though t to be "much ado about nothing," and so the matter ended and still stanlds, and the old kerosene lamp post still .. makes our strets gloomy. Sumter is ge tting to be quite a rail roadl centre also. It is a very pretty little city. We regret that we did not have muore time tospenld there. An effort was malde on Monday to lynch Tulrner, who killed a man namled Finger, in Spartanburg last week. Turner was in jail at Spartanhurg and the efTort to lynch him was mIade in broad daylight. It was onIly about a year ago that Turner killed an inotien sive Gecrn,l was tried and acquitted. Trhere seemIs to be neced of a remedy of seie kind for the wholesoie taking of human life in South Carolina, btt tile remedy is not to be found ill lynch ing nlor by the mob taking tlhe law in its own hands and endeavoring ta, mete out juistice.

This will be sad news to a host of friends throughout the State. He breathed his lazt yesterday morning at half-past eleven o'clock. From the first of his illness serious fears were en tertained by his friends as to the re Sult. For the past ten days he has gradually grown worse and when the end caime, it was not unexpected. Death, though, is always sad. Christian H. Suber was the son of Solomon Suber, and was born near Pomaaria in New berry County (then )istrict) on the day of September, 11SS, and died at his home in New ierry on the 12th day of March, 1S90. from a stroke of paralysis which he re ceived on the 2:,rd day of February, 1"'iu. The house in which he was born still stands and is occupied by Mr. Wi. Berly at Pomnaria. After study at Lexington C. II. and Laurens C. H., and in his native Dis trict, he entered the south Carolina College in 1845 and graduated in 1848. He was admitted to the Bar in De ceniber, 1850, and forming a partner ship with Silas Johnstone, Esq.,'began the practice of law at Newberry C. H., where, with the exception of the neriod of the war, he continued to practiee his profession until his death. He was elected to the State Legisla ture in 158 and served in that body for five consecutive ternis. He again served in the House of Representatives for the term of 1,78-9. After the election of Silas Johnstone, Esq.. to the office of ('omnmui sioner in Equity in 1S5.i, Major Suber formed a partnership in the practice of law with Gen. A. C. Garlington, under the firm name of Garlingtotn & Suber. Soon after Gen. Uarlington's removal to At lanta, in 1869, he formed a partnership with J. F. J. Caldwell, Esq., under the firm name of Suber & Caldwell, which continued until his death. He was Major-Quartermaster in the Confederate service, part of the time in th, army of Northern Virginia, and part of the time at Charleston. He was never married. These in brief are the main facts in the public life of Maj. C. H. Suber. He on many occasions represented his county in State ('oventions, and in 184 was delegate at large to the Nation al Democratic Convention which nomi nated Cleveland and Hendrix. Maj. Suber was a brainy man, and if he had had the ambition, could have occupied almost any position in the gift of his State. He was a genial frieid and con pauion, and had many friends wher ever he was known. As a lawyer he was a sound counselor and always enjoyed a lucrative prac tiee. He was an able and eloquent advocate, and stood high in the ranks of his profession in the State. But his life's work is done. He has "passed over thieriver"' into "the quiet haven of us all." THE EDGEFIELD) GRtAND JURY. The grand jury of Edgefield 'County in their presentment last week do some plain talking. We publish in another column a portion of this presentmnit. been four mistrials and one conviction and in that case the Supreme Court granted a niew trial. Jones has nowv been in jail nearly five years, and it does look like it was getting time that something should be done. If he is innocent lie should he given his liberty and if he is guilty he should he puln ished. In the matter of the escape of prison ers from the Edgefleld iail the grand jury makes several specific charges of negligence on the part of the sheritt'. The preseutment is a strong one and it looks as if the grand jury had at tempted to discharge their duty fearlessly. The sherift'may he able to prove that le is not to blame. He is a popular man in his county and has always been considered an etficient officer. Many of the members of the grand jury who miake this presentment are his personal friends. The Newberry l'ostmnastership. To the Editor of Thle Herald and New?,: Learning that certain notices hav-e appeared in the papers during my ab sence to the effect that 1 was "looking after the appointment of a postmaster" at Newberry, I would ask space to cor rect such an idea. To look after the Newberry postoflice was no pairt of the object of myv visit to WVashingtoni. I have thus far kept out of the unseemly scramble for that positilon, andl expect to continue to do so. But being on the ground, and thle Washington corres pondnt of one of the Charleston pa pers having stated that the Postmaster eieral had giv.en out that Mr. M or mua would not be commnis?ioned, I thought it migmht be0 advisable for mae to ee Mr. WVanamnaker in case this statmenC~t wecre true. After one or t wo failures to find hini in I succeeded in getting an interview. 1 began by assuring him that I had not come to ask or suggest anything. But that being a Repubican from Newberry, a 'aee that had seemed to give him some~ rable in the select ion of ai postmaster, and as the papers had stated that the just in was not vet definitely set tied. I thought lie ight like to see me. I dd nt mention anyv name. He answered that tihe paplers wvere misinfrmed, that the question was deinitely settled so fair as his dep'art mn'i was concerned pending thec de cision of our courts: that if Mr. Moor man were acqmuitted he would not con ider it proper for the government to punish hinm af:er the court had decided tht he had done no wrong: but that f lie were condemined, of course he would not be conunissioned. HeI then ery cordially thanked me for callingr. and otur interviewv ended. not lastinrg over three to ive minutes. I think. So the good people of Newvberry nmav a well make up their minds, nokn.i ro1c'os. that the qutestion of their post masterhip' is definitely decided. B. 0. D)UNeAN. Knaid Must sn zi Trial for Murder.

' The Court proceeded to brusinesat I once this morning, without any loiter- t iug. The defeue: put up Jaties E - wvard G.regory, who tes-tinied inat r Schultz bad his hand on his hip pocket when Moorman shot hin. a At this point a question arose Le- f tween Mr. J ohnstone and the solicitor as to some point maiide by the forier with the intention to contradiet a wit ness, already examined. .judge Izlar I ordered Stenographer Law to read the testimony of the witness. which con .sumited a great deal of time. During the reading Mrs. Moorimian the wile of the prisoner, walked into the Court room, accompain:ed by her three little children. The little ones gathered quietly around their father, who was sitting near the fire, reached up and kissed him. The wife and mother took her seat beside her hu' band. The question of the contradiction of a former witness having been settled in favor of the State, the examination of the witness was resumed, "Yes. Schultz put out his left hand said wit' i ness "at the time lie put his .hand oil his hip pocket. By the solicitor : "When I first saw the pistol it was in Moornmans hand, t and was at the time that Sehultz t dropped his hand by his side and then I Moorman put his pistol down. Then i Schultz put his hand ;ou his hip and M oornan stepped back one step and fired. There was nothing in Scbultz's band, so far as I know. Could have seen it if tiere had been." By Mr. Johntstone: "I mean to say that I didn't see anything in Schultz's hand." R. A. Whitlock was next put on the t stand by the defeuce. "I live at Joles yille, but was in Fishdani on the day of the trouble," said the witness, "and while there saw the difficulty between Schultz and Moormnai. I didn't know them before. 1 was standing near by and heard Schultz say: 'Shoot, shoot: vou say you'll shoot ' The smaller man, Moorniau, said: "Don't put your hands ) on ie-don't touch inc.' Schultz put out his left hand, whiile his right went t back. Schultz was a large iian-maybe seventv-five or one hundred pounds heavier than Moorman. Scliultz's man ner was angry. I couldn't see how Moornian looked, and his back was to By the solicitor: "No, there was noiling in Schultz's hand, but Moor- I man had his pistol in his hand." By MIr. Johnstone: "M1r. M1oorman had an overcoat on his left arm, his grip sack in his left hand. I could not i hearall that passed between them." By the solicitor: "Very few seconds elapsed between the time aMr.;.Ioortnan cursed Schultz and the time he tired. Mr. Schultz hand went back as soon as Moorman cursed him the last time." R. A. Hancock was next examined for the defence. "I knew Lee Schultz. He vas a large man; weighed about 200 pounds, and was much stouter and I larger than MIoorman. I had a conuver sation with Schultz the Saturday pre eding his death about the trial he was to have with MIr. 31oormnan. Schultz said MIoorman had employed J. ('. Wallace to scandalize his camp, and ift he did he (Schiultzi would wash his 1 mouth." The next witness examined was the prisoner, Robert MIoorman. "I lived in New berry, and have livedl there nearly all my life. I spent the first years of 1 my life in town; have farmed since in at Fishdaruon business and saw him, and got to' be time-keeper for him on the railroad. He said he would board me and give me twenty dollars a month. Then he said he wvould giv'e mec twenty I dollars niore to attend to the office I work. I staid with him from the 20th 1 of August until about the 10th of i October. 1 had to go to see my wife, who was very sick with fever. I told MIr. Schultz I would have to leave and t go to see my wife. This was about the 1st of October. He and M1r. Wilson c got sick and I staid to accommodate C hitm for six or eight days. I told him t then I would have to go home, and C asked him for a settlement. When It started to go I could not find Schultz, who had gone off wvith all the com-l missary nimney. I borrowed the moneyI (two dollars) and went home on the< train. .I left all mny clothes in the care C of Schult z to wait until I caine back.t The clothles were under the bed in the I. orice 'vhere Schultz and I slept. After 3 I could leave myv wife I went hack to C the campi to miake a settlement. Schultz1 said I was too late, as he di(t not send I the account to Jones to get the mloLey. He paid a little. on the account he owed i me. I had left my mule with him; he ii hiredl it. and he paid me the lire of the I mule. This was myv thir id trip, amid still f he could not pay me, so he said. He t wantectime to rake pay for seventeen 5 days' work of my mule, when it had T worked twenty 'days. I waited and C waited for a settleinent and could n't I get it. My clothes had been taken aiway ~ ad .1 put in a claim for thiemi and " Schultz refused to pay' for them. '1 Schultz said M. B.

I told Schultz 1 wo.uld sue u hiir-for the whole bill with the clot lies t claim inicludied. lHe s.aid if I did he 0 would kill rue. I replied that I wvould 1. be at t he killing."

Turner and Finger are st said to have had several quarrels over this matter, in one of which shotguns o played a part, and which was settled only with difficulty. r Finger was a brother of Turner's tr wife, the alleged victim of his seduction being his sister-in-law. ai Public sentiment appears to' be eI against Turner in the present case. '1Turner was triedl somec months ago ~ for the murder of Julius 31etzkie, an b inoffensive and friendless German b laborer, and was convicted of man- tc slaughter. Appealing to the Supreme ei Court, lie procuted a new trial and was h then acquitted. In that case feeling ran high against Turner, and the peo- h ple generally are not now satisfied with its result. Finger was about 1 years old and 01 unmarried. p: TRIED To LYNl'I TURNER. [Special to the Greenville New.] U SARTANRURG, S. C., March 10.-To- g1 day a crowd came into town to lynch Ueo. S. Turner. There was much ex- tc citement. A throng gathered in Jail 1j Street, near the public square, and the c situation looked serious. Sheriff Ni chols and his deputies, John Vernon L and Eber Brutoni, with 3Messrs. Andrew w E. Moore and Ed. I). Gentry were in tl the jail with arms and ammunition n determined to resist violence, and the sherilgave out that some one would 0 be hurt if the mob entered the jail and bi that at last he would plane Turner in al the cell and arm him and let him fight al for his life. The lynichers were badly a organized. They had been slow in o' getting to work and nothing had been sc done. A bout one o'clock a team draw ing the canmnon which is kept at thet' encampment grounds was driveti into i Jail Street andc p)ointed at the jail with el a rush and a hurrah. Then the miost tr creditable action of the day wvas taken. ai Mayor Heninman and four policemen , with drawvn pistols advanced into the Pi mioh just at the titme wvhen the posse in the jail had their rifles poin ting through e' the windowvs and coverin" Jail Street. a ? icr rrmyur -rrrotiuau -t trie'un carrage, spoke a few determiined words and the et cannon was cap)tured aind with the aid et of sonie citizena. wvhite and black, it ct was rolled into the jaii yard and spiked- h with a ten penny nail which W.L M. .Jones drove into the touch hole. This " disconcerted the lyt:hers. There was fc sonie boisterous talk and flourishing of pistois, but only Benj. WV. Ewbanks was arrested anid pilacedI in the cala- le boose. T1he arrest wvas made by police- if man (Canmp. Ew bank and( two others 'w had brought the cannion into town. The excitetment lasted some time longer andi( there wvere rumors of large crowds e~ on the outskirts, but at this hour, five is o'clock, the war seems to be ended, vi but the jail will be guarded to-night. tl: Our sheriff and his deputies atid our city police are as fearless and fine a set L of 'men as ever canl be found. John hI Nichols during a battle in the late war m went out of the C'onfcderate entrench nents exposinig hmefto a fire from oth armies to give water to a woumnded vankee so)ldier'. T1he timely action of d Mayor H-en neman today alone saved i bloodshed. 'To policemient Johnt H-ill, .Johin Miller, Frank ( anp and .Jesse n Croak, high praise is due. it.

The theme of the morning's discourse as "Gathering Fragments," - from e notable command of our Lord, after e miraculous feeding of the multi de, that the fragments be gathered that nothing be lost. Very important spiritual truths were duced from this natural, practical id economic utterance of the Master, hose creative power bad been so wou- I rfully manifested, and which mnight st as easily have multiplied food for a illion as well as for a few thousand ople. The imperative necessity of utilizing redeeming the little fragments of ne-the moments, which make up e hours, the days and seasons, per ips, that pass silently by and often iheeded, with no noble work accomi ished, was happily illustrated. One pure, sweet thought a day-one utle, generous and disinterested act; ie page written or read, make three indred and sixty-five during the brief terval of a year. But the sequence is at one worthy act incites another, id the mind unfolds and expands in mmetry, strength and grace; it is ained and disciplined; thought is usecutive and work systematic, and Le connectio'.i between the two are )t broken by hindering delays. The idle mind, with unoccupid mo ents-how fraught with lisaster, ten! Without the wholesome restraint id self-denial and order that come of scipline. it must feed upon itself and ffer that dissipation of thought which ten imperils if it does not destroy. 1 Those who "gather up the frag ents" of time and money, etc., in the T ue spirit, are the thrifty and frugal, low id likewise the benevolent ones of gue rth. of 188 But there are those who have the , vered threads of shattered hopes and cox -oken hearts. These can be brought 5 to the compassionate One who has is -cry gift of health and healing. "Earth 5 to is no sorrow that heaven cannot 8 to aL"2 tc At the close of the service he spoke T the fragmentary sermons he had Ne -eached, but hoped that the little frag- T ent of some truth might be gathered Ne to the spiritual blessing of the con- T We egation. one At the afternoon service, in a felici- T us introduction, somewhat colloquial, Chi r. Williams said he hoped to catch nu! me of the inspiration of the beautiful ord's Day evening, whose soft light as receding. Should he be asked the 3 ,eme of his sermon he would say it edy as "The Measurement of the Cross.' par Pri b the height and the depth, the am -eadth and the width of its glory hea id its grandeur. It is the symbol of was I holy religion. Those who have sa -ercome and are triumphant know i mething of the height of its saving for wer and the breadth of its protec- - yn, whilst those whose hearts are sur argel with grief or wounded for ansgression, can learn of the depth )d meaning of its forgiveness, its sym ithy and its solace. When he bade adieu, perhaps for- (;lu er, to the little church whose rector- pai deared by many tender ties, andin .me far away to the South on his va tion, the cross upon the church gave m a restful feeling, for here he felt ere both wvelcome and communion r him. Mr. Williams also d elivered several stures appropriate to the rite of con- to -mation. They were "The Gate," ens 'ho Challenge," "Within the Gate," id "The Blessing." They were happy positions of vine truth. Baptism the gate to th -Church. He who in- 5 tes and chalkt ges the credence of I ose who would .nter, is the ascenided \ ard, who is at the mercy-seat withi a 'art of love and sympathy that he ight both hear and answer the sup- - iant's prayer. In his lecture on confirmation the vont sneaker cited Scriptural author r for the rite as well as the testimo rof non-Episcopal writers. The lec res evinced careful research on the N .rt of trhe gifted young divine, and ' N re delivered in a gracefnl spirit of v tholicity. Rev. Mr. Williams came to New rry to spend a few weeks' leisure with L friend and college class-mate, Mr. rtow B. Ramage. It was a pleasing eident that his sojourn here should es ve been during the season of Lent. leak a left lnst Monday for his home in miu ston. Mass. He will on next Sunday tur] se charge of a church to which he pa been called near that city, rati Ihe visit of Mr. Williams to New- mit rry was a very lelasant one.
