7LBERT H. AULL, . WM. Y. HOUSEAL. S "rIV l:=SI)AV' J1'I.V 'HRE t:dIs NO L>ANuI;I ouAAr N TION There i., a good deal of tali , ('i. Tillmlau, in his speeche , and by hi. friends, of an effort b-ing made to a massinate him. This sort of talk i all xoen.le. No body is going to assaainate Capt. Til man. If that is all that is to keep b1:t from being Governor he is sure of the prize. His friends are afraid of a coa bat of ballots. If there was a State primary it might be demontrated that he would be slaughtered by ba[lot-, but as for his receiving bodily injury in the way of assassination, we () not ilieve a word of it. Capt. Tillman has said a great iiany very hard things about honorable and upright mnen, but then when these mren call hirni to explain he will apolo gize and that will end natters hono(ra bly. For instance, according to the Augus ta Chronicle, he refers to some of the members of the conference that was held at Colunbia a 1t:w days ago, as "pimps, satellites, bootlicks and flunk ies of the ring." Now lie does not mention any narnes, and we submilt that such language is unworthy of a man who aspires- to the exalted po i tion of (;overnor of South Carolina. There is not a gentlemwiatn in Newberry who would not feel ofenided to be're ferred to in any such language, t'I ie would be rightly olinideul. We doubt very imuch if ('apt. Till man would use that language to any man who was in that conference, if he were face to face with hitt. If lie did it would very likely he re e:ted. I f he would not then he hoiwuld nit u-(- it on the stump in a c.ltva s forvan( Wv or of South Carolina. We suspect that ait. Tillunain'sceU science is ueg tii. r 't:ui: h 1: !"r saying such harsh things of genltlemen. Now why should ie peak of the men in that conference in ,I v uch (tleIsive style. Did they not have a right to meet and consult toget hcr'i There is no justification for such ugly epithets and Capt. Tillman should not use them. Such language is calculated to stir up bad feeling and all tlistalk'about assassination tends to engender bitter ness aed to keep the people excited and stirred, yet the supporters of Mr. Till man will tell the people very vocifer ously that the anti-Tilirrani men are responsible for all the excitement and bad feeling of this campaign, and that Mr. Tillmnan and his supporters never abuse any body or say hard things. The Herald and News never indulges in abuse and does not believe in it. Now in this matter let us have fair play. There is too mtuch abuse all around. Too many hard things are being said. There will be regret for all this by and by. What do the friends of (Capt. Tillumn think of the language above referred to. Such language ean do no good, and would by far be better left unsaid. We do not think this campaign has been much of a campaign of education. It has rather beeni a camopaigni of abuse. We hope that Capt. Tillmiark and( his friends will stop talking about assassi nation for we d.o not believe anyvbody is going to assassinate him. We know very little about the SubJ treasury bill or about nationial banks, and we do not mind admitting the fa~ct, but we think that the comparison by the speakers at Pomaria, on Saturday, of the two, was a little misleading. Un dier the Sub-treasury Bill it is proposed to',loan to the farmer s9 per cent, of the v:due of his cotton, or othier produee, stored in the governimenit warehouse-, for one ye-ar at one per cenit. The national banks amre requiredl by law to invest a certain amounut of their capital stock in governrnent haonds in order to get their charter, and to dlepos it these in the treasury to secure theiir own notes. Of course the gov-ernmient pays interest on these bonds the same as to aniy other bondholder, foir it is virtually the banks loaning the gov ernment mioney. If. a baiik has $1l10, nn0* in government bonds it is permhiit ted to issue its own ntotes ais a circulat ingimediumi to the amiounlt of 90 ,1,0. On this 4Jl, 10) the hank is req ui red to pay a tax of one percent. per aniimin for the privilege-, but as we- see it the~ bank is not paylIog aeoe per cent.: interest for mon01ey loaned, b ut as- a tax on its own notes, fo,r whieb it hais uie p)osited govei-nmnit b onds to s< hulr t hie holders of these notes. We may be wironig, hut we are fre to admit that we (10 not see the sinilarily, or hiow it eani be said that the gover-t riient loarls naitionial hailks III !ney.

It wa o)ly a m1ointh1 ago that he was ani):Jg u-, looking hearty and well, and that we he-ard him deliver a riost elo quent ami adnirable address on the nec)s.ity of true moral nan'ood. :v . E. Beriv was born in New berry ('ounty, near Pomaria, on Janu ary 1', JS4, iaking hiru :'0 years, - niorths and :: days old at his death. lie was educated at Newberry Col lete, graduating in the class of ],-79. lie then3 read medicine with his father, who was a physician, and en tered the South Carolina Medical Col lege in the fall of 1'sSr, from which in stitution he graduated with di-tinction. He practiced medicine only for about a y ear, when lie began the study of the ology in the seminary at .ialern, Va., and afterwards at Philadelphia, from which irn-titutiont he graduated in 1%. lie accepted a call to the charge in Lexington County that lie was serving _t the time of his death. lie was bu-ied at the church known a- "Blue Chu 'el," in Lexington Coun ty, on Sunda. afternoon, in the pres ence of a large and sorrowing congre gation. The funeral services were par ticipated in by ltev'ds J. A. Sligh, J. B. Fox, J. i. Wyse, W. L. Darr, J. G. (raichen and D. Etird. These in brief are the main facts con neeted with his life work. The writer's first intirnate acquaintance with Dr. Bcrly began in the fall of 1S .when we entered the Sophionnore (lass of New berry College, )r. Berly then being a reniiher of the .J unior Class. A friend ship began then which lasted until his cleat I, and which grew stronger and dearer as the years rolled by. His ieath is to us a personal loss. We al ways felt that in Lini we had a true friend. Hfis loss to the ('hureh is great. He was a useful nan, performing faith fully and well all the duties of life as they presented themselves. Ie was an eloquent, strong and ef fective preacher. l1e was modest, gen tle and retiring, yet of strong and pos itive eonvictions, and with the nai hood to maintain theun. He was a true and faithful friend to his alnna mater, Newherry College. He carried along with him all the work of the Church. But he is gone from among us. No more shall we look in his manly face and hear his eloquent words. It is a mysterious dealing of an All-wise prov ideince that we cannot unde~rstanrd now, but "lHe doeth all things well" Cut down in young mnanhood,and what seems to human vision, at the very threshold of a useful life, and with the promise of many years of service to his State and his Church before him, makes it to us a~ pecutliarly sad dispen sation. We shall miiss him: his friends ev erywhere shall miss himn; but he has gone, and all is well with him now! And as we drop a tear to his mnemiory, we shall think of the grandeur of his life and the nobility of his character. Rtead what Anerunm arid Tillmni have to say of each other, published on the first page of The He[rald and News this wveek. As it stands now it is a qjuestion of veracity between the two, but there may be further evidence adduced and we better get the beginning. We publish this week threaddres-s, is sued by the committee applointed by the conference held in Columbia a few days ago, to tine Denmocracy of South Carolina. It is nmoderate in tone and spirit, and is well worthy y-our careful reding. It seemis to us that the County Ex ecutive Committee ought to appoint a camp~aign for the coun ty and have some order about the matter. That is if we are to have a general primary election for thne legislative catndidates and oth ers. We suppose somiethinig will he done at the meeting (of the Executive Comn miittee to-miorrow. Tihe timie for hold inig thle primary election ha:s not yet beenl fixedl. Duriring the last week several coun tie- have held coniventionis.

Ifind the following statemten't in the preanble and resotlu tions introduced by you: "Said Lxecu tive 'orninittce did lileet. and bv a vott of thirteen to one. lid refu-e to giVe .u a State priniary." A.s th is refers directly to the mcetinig of the -tate Ex. (or.. held May 8th, l';:+. I respec:tfully ask that vou will furnisli re with your au thority for iaking the staternent. It is a matter of siriple justice to the Ex rn. that an ungualili,"d statetnentrt, purporting to give its ttreeise actioni at a detiaite tinie, shall re.t uipont good authority, or else that the statenetit he retraeted, if unsupported by such au thority. L t me a-sur yc'u t hat no { Such action was taken, anl Il:s,I your infornatiou is entirely incrr.::. The Executive Cotlmiittee has never voted upon the question of a State priraryII at all. I hope you will recognize the importance and propriety of correcting so gross an error, which does a flagrant injutice to gcntleniel occupying a re spon-ible position in the Demiocratic party of this State. On other points we may ditier widely, but there can be no difference of opinion as to the obvious course ol your part to rectify this matter, which has obtained the sanctionl of a ('ounty ('onvention througli Vour instrumientality. Very Truly Yours, .1Aa)IE: A. HOYT, ('hin'n St. )c1r. Ex. ('n. \Nv :wER1'.1, .(.'., J.lmy Sth, I b,W. Dear Sir: The resolution referred to the refusal of the Contnittee in May ,a iay or two after the Ridgeway speech; to call a Convention looking to the question of a prirmary being sub Initted to it. AIy recollection when I drew it, was, and is now, that N. G. G. in his letter pullished the next morn inlg in the N. and C., stated that the E:xecutive Contnittee stood 1:1 to I and stated, I think, "that it was no secret." if you have the paper you enan, by cx aml1ining it, see whether or not I was wrolg. I have not a copy of it. Vory I tespr"etfully, SA \ri'sONI P. <;1i:-:Nvi Lr:. S. ('., J uly I1, 1 =t:i. Dr. Sampson Pope, Newberry, S. C. 1)(ar Sir: Your favor of the .,th1 inst. h.s been received, aid- an ' cr delayed by my absence from horne. As I have already assured you that the State Executive Committee did not vote upon the qtestion of a prirnary at the meeting held May sth, the reply you make is quite unsati.factory. Yuu have based an attack upon the Executive CoM littec on information that is totally incorrect, and your statement in re ference to .what N. G. G. said the next morning in the News and Courier is equally wide of the mark. He referred to the Executive Committee as being 13 against and one for Tillman, but this is very different from refuring "to give us a State priniary," as you allege wa.s done. I will be glad to know whether you pJropose to mrake thne cor rection, and in case you decline to do so I will print this corresponidencee in justirce to the Executive Comimiittee. Y~ours Respectfully, JAMEs5 A. l{OYT, (hair. State Ex Comn. N EW.:wnstuY, S. C., .J uly 16, 1800). Decar Sir: Your letter of the 14th was~ received, andI in rep)ly I have this to say:3Mr.G(onzales obtai ned informration from sonme meumber oif .y our Conaniittee upon which lie based his letters of the th ando luth of Slay to the News and Courier. I have been unable to get a a copy of that of the 10th, the one of the 9th being short on account of the lateness of the the hour of adjournmuent of yotur Commrittee. He stated, if I re collect correctly, that the question of a primiary was actedl uponi, and further stated that the (Conuniittee stood 13~ against Tillmian to 1 for him. If I re collect p)roperly this last statemet was italicized and in figures. Your Comn mzittee niet again on the 25th of June. Our Convention met on the :'8th of June. During all of this time that elapsed between 3May 8th and Junie 25th no correctoon ofM3r. Gi's statement was umade by your Conmnittee, iior was any action taken upon it at .your meet ing of .Jun e 25th. Yout allowed it to stand that 1:; of the 14 mnernbers pre sent were against Mr. TIillmanu, and it was only after the publication of our proceedings had on the 28th of June that we hear of any denial. 'We had a right to infer from that statement that a vote on calling a convention for pri mary had been taken, atnd that it stood 1:3 against and( 1 for. You say that.no vote was taken; you say that no action was taken on the piia~ry. Is it not possible, then, that an outside agree ment was had oni the qutestion, and decided so as to avoid the qutestioni coning up in the meeting. If you will give mie the names of onec or more of the I:; who favoredi a convention for priniary outside or inside of the rueetinug on the 8th of Mlay, I will cheerfully correct to that extent. Your go so far ini your fi rst letter to mie as to say, "The Exdbutive Comn mit tee has never voted upon thle ques tioni of a p)rimatry at all,"' anid that, too, after they had called a convention for that purpose to mieet oni August 1:lth.

A (hi 1f dtindceent to the writer to tnake the trip, as was no doubt the ea;e with others, was to see the new country betu cell Prosperity and ('olui bia opened up by the new road. C'u fort urtately for the general appearance of the coutitry, a prolonged arouth has been prevailing, and is not yet broken, nearly all th : way from Prosperity to ('olurnbia, so that the crops are far frorn promising. Crops have suffered soie about Newberry, but nothing in comparison. Much of the early corn is ruined beyond redenption. cotton is very snmiall and late corn and peas suf ferel badly. But the miost important industry altng the road for the present is getting out lutbil,er, and front indica tions at all the .tations, I fear the term "p;i,, troo/."' will, ere long, come into "inn()uous desuetude.''

The mrelons were shiipped to accredited agents ini all of tIre large Northern cities to be sold wholesale at auction. The p)lanl did not suit the dealers itn this city, and theiy formed a cou nter-combi nation. Accordingly when the first Georgia melonis were put up for sale there was only one bid, a wickedly low one, for the entire lot, and the melons had to gt at that. Then tire ptirchiaser di vited uip tire shipmeni'it with his fellow cosnrators, arid they charged full prices to the smrall (dealers and the pub li, thereby umakiing immense p)rofits.
