A nl what is to Vbe gained by these wc iiasures, he ha- failed to show. Ilie has raised a great cry against the I)epartrnen t of Agriculture, and has 1111ininated nt:u y things to its discredit, but he has failed to show any dlis h'onr-stV or nlisrnanagenlemet on the part of the P,oard or of the (onnli. sioner. Ile has Shown but one thing that lie is ignorant of the inanner in which that department has been con duteled. Yet lie has the temerity to iemtanI of the people tit they shall uncl-nin that lepartrmcelt :uid all coU i eted with it, siruply 'ecause he does not utder.tanul its op...aious. And Ihis blind devotion to his pre judic"es lie d, iantds, though it carries with it the ch:rge of reckless unfaithfulness, if not intentional dishonesty, on the part of miien who have for years been rocog nized as amiong the most honorable and fait hfl of our citizens. But why shouil we have a revolution, if all the charges were true? 'I'he Agricultural )epart ment. was established in the interest of the farmers of the State, upon their denand, and under regulations framed by the leading llen inl that vocation. I it has proved ineflicient let it be abolished; or if it can he Inade more useful by a transfer of its duties to other hands, let that be done. But are these questions to be settled by stump speeches? Can any man master the question upon any array of figures which could be made in an oral argu mient? The closest reading of the many columns of printed matter which have been laid before us in the newspapers fails to make the case clear; and it is utterly unreasonable to expect a crowd to learn the details from Mr. Tillman's harangues. A legislative investigation which shall exhibit the full account is the only method by which we can cx peet to be informed. It isamazing that in a "campaig' of education" any can didate should have the effrontery to ask the people to back him in an attack upon a department of the government and upon men of unblemished reputa tion, simply because that candidate does not see how the department has been mianaged, or why it has been managed as it has. The other tangible matter is the re apportionmlent of representation in the House of Itepresen:tatiyes. This, by the way, is not one of the demands of the March Convention. The platform of that convention, so far as re-appor tionient is concerned, relates only to the State Democratic Convention, not to the State Legis!ature. It is rather curious that the platform which Ir. 'illnan wrote and carried to Columbia in his pocket should have no mention of the question in connection with which he now makes his loudest talk and ejects his rankest personal abuse. Buti there is no dispute, in this se( tion of the State, in regard to the re apportionment contended for by Mr. Tillman. It will not affect Newberry ('ounlty; for every scherre proposed leaves us with exactly the representa tion which we have had for years. As a measure for the up-country it has now, as it has always had, the approval of our people. I, for one, have been dlisapp>int'd in the failure of the eflorts for re-apportionmienlt; and L, for one, amn not (disposed to condone the action of otur former representatives, who re fused to join iln the re-apportioinent nmeasures p)rop)osod in the Legislature simiply because of the expenseC involved inl it.~ I think that small expense did not justify Legislators in refusing to carry out the imiperative requiremlent of the conistitution. Yet [ do not charge those gentlemen with perjury, nor wvith any wilful failure of duty. I acquit Dr. Pope, Mr. Sligh, and all others who opposed the enumeration, of any dishonesty or want of regard for the oath of office taken by themi. I can readily see the consideration which affected their minds. But how is Mr. Tillman to be justified in his argument?. IHe says that the failure to vote for the re-appoitionimen t constituted actual perjury. He goes on to say that lhe par'dons those of the offenders whbo vio lated their oaths in order to save a little money. Who gave hirni tihe right to pardIon crime or sin? And why does le undertake to pardon? I presuml1e, because though he thinks they have sinned much, they have loved much that is, they have loved Trillmanli much. This looks as if Mr. Tillman were not only posing as a Mloses, but arrogating to himself the authority of the Savior. And when this apostle of virtue goes out of his way to insiinuate against an honored member of our judiciary cor ruption in his office, or the dlanger of corrupt practices by him in that otlice, and this against a mian who has no opportunity to meet hiim before the people, the incorrigible venom and mialice of the man is made clear to all who are able to see. And this is tihe campaign so far. No word is said by MIr. Ti Illman in favor of Clemson College-probably because he knows it to be safe. No showing is made of the manner in which taxes may be reduced. No law is prop)osed by ivhichl mlen's liberties are to be pro tected, or by which thleir property is to be secured. No mleaLsure is prop)osed by which our burthens shall be lighted or otur welfare advanced. Nothing is suggested wvhich can at all help the people of Newvberry. Nothing tangi ile is offereCd except the re-aplpor'tionl menit, inl whiich all of our1 people agree, and which any man from Newberry would feel bound to vote for in the Leg islature. There is on113 this re-ap)por tionenlt advocated by MIr. Tillmuan, coupled with the ab)use of the so-called aristocraiev and abuse of some of the men who v->ted against re-apportion-. met. W\hat sort of a savior of the people is this? I shall write you niext week on the subject oif the so-('alledl aristocrac'y. .June 17th, 1890i.

I LE-xisurox, .June 1g.- -Wheii court opened this niorning, from the size of the audience ini attendance, no one would have suppolsedl that it was the day fixed for the trial of the much dis cussed lynching case. Very soon, how ever, after the assembling of the court, it was manifested that a trial of more than comnmon place importance was to take place. Besides a well filled house of the white citizens (of the County, a contingenicy (of the best ladies of the village graced the occasion with their presence. Miss Rosa Cannon and Mr. Caughmian's wife were anmong those who were present1. Messrs. Caughman andl Taylor were brought into court and to(lt the doek. Neither one of them gave any evidlence of braggadocio, nor did1 they appear to1 be timid (or nervous, but w ith a mnanly, respectable and coin mandling deimeainor anhswered1 to the charge contained in the inid ictmnent, of being the principal aind accessory in the lviiehing of Willie Leaphai:rt on the 5th of Mlay. They pleaded iiot guiity, oIf course. Solicitor Nelson prepafred1 a statemeint of what M1r. J. Wilson Gibbes, a mate rial witness who was abisent, would swear to if present, and announced that the State would be readly to proceed with the trial if counsel for the defen dants would aillow it to be introduced; if niot, lhe would have to ask for a con tinuance. A fter a short consuiltat 1011 amiong the five attorneys wiho wecre representing the prisone(rs, they agreed to admit it rat her than i ha;'e thle case cou tinuned. At the request of the Solicitor all the jurors weire placed upoiin lieir volir dire, and it wa~s developed that several of them were disqualiiedl on account of havinzg expressed1 an opiniioin or enter tai ned such pronioun cedl vie ws as would. prevent them fromi reiidering a fair and impartial verduict accordiing to the' law and the evidence. The paiiel was exhausted after nine jurors had been accepted by thle dCefen dants, andi a new venire oIf fifteen was drawn, lbut it was not necessary to serve them'n all w~ ith "i'summnonls papers" as at leaist 1:alf a dloz.en of those thus drawni were about thle (Court iHouse. As they wer'e brouhtilt ill they wvere pre sented to the prisoners. It took twvo hours and a half to comiplete the jury, which wais tinially nuide up of the fol lowing membui Iers: ( arrol I Bookman, foreman, WVill i:nn Hi. H endriix, J1. C. ierrick, \'. S. N.

The hist n:nned juror was the fore mani of the (Coroner's juryW which held thi.'iqouest over the (lead body oif Willie Leapar., and which would not charge Cagmnan or Taylor w ithi having taken inv'part ini the lynching.

Miss Sallie Pugh has returned from the Winthrop Training School in Co lunbia, from which institute she is now a graduate. Misses Kittie and Mary Luther have returned from Ashville Female College.

Counts, of Lau rens, took meals at Pros>erity Hotel yesterday. The town election for intendant came off very quietly yesterday. Mr. J. M. Wheeler was elected without any op posing vote. Rev. J. B. Traywick was called from the commencement exercises of Colum bia Female College by telegraph to at tend the last sad rites of Miss Angeline Boozer, whose remains were deposited in St. Luke's Cemetery yesterday. If so many candidates throughout the county and State do not quit get ting on the Tillman wagon the whole machine will smash up, and then neither Tillman nor his passengers will be calm and serene. Col. A. H. Wheeler, president of the old Prosperity Democratic club has is. sued a call for the re-organization of this club on Friday evening next at r o'clock at the office of Justice Hair. This old club will not be pledged to any isni whatever, but will be pledged to good old time, tried and true Demo cracy, which once saved the State in worse times than now. When a man, an aged man, a true man, a patriotic man, an honorable man and grand old soldier of a hundred gory battlefields, receives such treat nent as Gen. Bratton received at New berry and other places in this cam paign, it is time for men to stop and think, and many of us have stopped to think. Whither are we drifting? The heaviest rain accompained with hail, in many days fell here yesterday, (Tuesday) about 3 o'clock. The rain fell in blinding sheets,while the hail was keeping time to the rainfall. The rain we learn was confined to a small area, but here the land is fearfully washed, and much injury is done the groving crops, by being washed entirely out in places, and in others by being covered up. The hail has battered the cotton badly but we think it will recover from the effects and no serious damage will follow. Theseason of commencements is now fully upon the country and is bearing fruit bountifully. While other cities. towns, villages and haumilets have been and are enjoying these literary repasts, Prosperity has had a full share, of wvhich she eagerly and heartily par took. The occasion of the closing ex erises of Prosperity High School is one to be pleasantly remembered for a long time. The exercises included Thurs day and Friday nights last, and were opened with prayer by Rev. J. B. Tray wick. The programme was successfully carried out, as was evinced by the~ fre quent mierited applause of the large audience. The music wvas of a high character and was furnished by the Prosperity String Band, consisting of Messrs. S. B. Lathan, Esq., M. C. Mor ris, L. M. Mathews, F. E. Schumpert and WV. R. Maffett. On Friday evening a large concourse of people assembled quite early and long before time for the exercises to be gin the Academy building was filled to overflowing, the ladies occupying nearly all of the available space. The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. T. 0. Keister, after which the female portion of the school executed the fan-drill. The difficult evolutiops of this drill were executed with a promptness and precision that would have done credit to a company of wvell drilled regular soldiers. The exercises of the evening consisted of dialogues, recitations, extracts, and original speeches by Bobbie L. Whites, and Euston N. Kibler. TVhese speeches were well prepared, wvell delivered, and showed much care and research ini their prearation. High compliments were pid both of these young gentlemen for their successful efforts. The pupils having finished their part of the pro gramne Pr<.f. Browne in a few appro priate remarks, introduced M. F. Anisel, Esq., of G reen ville, as the speaker of the evening. After complimenting Prof. 1irowne upon the success of his pupil.-, the speaker launched out in his theme, "potnties of the boys and girls of to-day."Ie portrayed the progress of the sciences and arts for the past fifty years, and argued that there was no reason why greater strides should not be made within the next fifty years. The opportunities and responsibilities were for the little boys and girls of to ay. Mr. Ansel is a fluent speaker, nd at times eloquent. He had the losest attention of his audience. Ow ing to the lateness of the hour when e began, Mr. Ansel necessarily left nsaid very much he intended saying. At the close of Mr. Ansel's speech Prof. Browne formally closed Pros perity High School for th~e scholastic year, and every body went home feel ing happy and serene, to dream of ice ream and cake and soda water and milk shakes and many other etceteras.

VKir LT T TE KAnT..e T~7T 5 T i ' THREE C'S' It's All Right !-A Damaging Rumor Oniy a Game of Bluff. LColumbia Register 17th.] Mr. David Risley of Georgetown was in the city yesterday and apparently filled the repertor of a contemporary brim full and running over with infor niation. It was stated that he had entered suit against the Massachusetts and Southern Construction Company of Boston, Mass., the company which built the Three C's Railroad, the suit being to compel compliance with an alleged agreement or the return of the franchise and other property of the railroad the transfer of which is alleged to have been secured fraudulently. The complaint in the suit charges Col. R. A. .Johnson, General Manager of the railroad, and the representative of the Construction Company, E. Howard, with fraud, and Mr. Howard, Chas. Whittier. Edwin D. Metfal.and Hiram Blaisdell with falsely swearing that ,r >00 had been paid in cash in the construction, whereas it is alleged, nothing whatever had been paid in. The suit, it is said, is brought in the courts of Massachusetts. It is also alleged that the Three C.'s road is now in a precarious condition financially. The following dispatch publishedlin a I Charleston paper three days ago shows that the alleged news is some what stale and not altogether accu rate: BOSTON, June 1.--The Supreme Court has denied the application of David Risley of Georgetown, S. C., to be allowed to increase the amount in a suit he had brought against the Massa 'chusetts and Southern Construction Company. Risley sued to recover $100,000 dam ages for alleged loss of prospective pro fits on a certain contract, upon which the defendant company denies any accountability. Risley applied to the court for leave to increase his demand to $1,250,000. After several days con- I sideration the court dismis3ed the mo tion as sensational. - Major J. F. Hart, of Yorkville, the counsel for the road, was seen yesterday in the train, and pronounced the re port circulated against the solvency of the road, etc., mistaken and mislead ing. DENIAL OF THE STORIES. [Spec7al to the Greenville News.] CHARLESTON, S. C., June 17.-The story of the troubles of the Charleston, Cincinnati & Chicago Rail Road which reached here to-day is disbelieved by those who are interested in the enter prise. W. F. Marshall, the soliciting agent of the road, said in an interview I to-day that he had just come from ; Blacksburg, the headquarters of the road, and while there had seen Mr. Albin, the solicitor, and Mr. Bently, the vice-president, and that neither of them had mentioned thesubject. The road had just received about twenty car loads of rails, fish plate, etc., to be used in its completion from Ruther fordton to Marion, N. C., and a large force of hands is now at work near Union and Hickory Grove, N. C., and another at Newberry, S. C. The general impression here is that the story of the road's mismanagement and legal com plications is a bluff. Nominations. For Congress-Third District. WC.
