Appeal from Preliminary Hearing.
In a case before Trial Justice Hair a
motion was made by defendant to
transfer the case to another Trial Jus

the defendant appealed. It was only
a preliminary examination. The case

He held that such a case was not ap
pealable.

On TueJay afternoon in company

out to his farm on Bush River, about

in good condition and looking tolerably
well. Corn has suff'ered very mucb
from the dry weather, and although
4 there was a good rain on Monday morn

will not be what it would have been
with good seasons.
The cotton is looking well and with

there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all
its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's
C'atarrh Cure is the only positive cure
niow' known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease
requires a constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the disease,

building up the constitution anld assist
ing nature in doing its work. The

AN ALLIANCE PICNIC.
A Large Gathering at Pomaria-Several
S1w,elee-Good Dinner-The Sub
Tre.,vury 11in Endor.ed.
On last Saturday morning the editor
of The Herald and News boarded the
Laurens train for Pomaria, to attend,
by invitation of friends in that section,
a pienie to lie given by the Sub-Alli
ances of that portion of the county on
that day. There were several others
on board from New berry. At Pros
peri ty we were joined by a dozen or
more ladies and gentlemen bound for
the same place.
The picnic and speaking were in the
beautiful shady grove on the branch
near the station. A good stand had
been erected for the speakers and seats
were arranged on one side, most of
which were filled with ladies. It was
one of the largest gatherings we have
seen at any public meeting ever held
in this county, unless it was the picnic
held at Little Mountain two years ago.
The crowd was estimated at from
1,000 to 2,3>00. If we had not decided
never again to estimate a crowd we
would say there were about 1,000 per
sons present. Any how, there was a
large crowd present for a picnic and
there were a large number of ladies
out. The picnic was under the auspices
of the Sub-Alliances of that section.
Whether there was a union of two or
more we are not informed. We noticed
on the stand the presidents of two
Messrs. Summer and Riser.
The Alliance part of the speaking
was presided over by Jos. L. Keitt, the
President of the County Alliance. He
opened the meeting by speaking of the
good of the organization and what it
was going to do to remove the depres
sion in agriculture, and introduced as
the first speaker E. T. Stackhouse, of
Marion, the President of the State Alli
ance.
Col. Stackhouse's voice is not very
strong and from where we had to stand
we could not hear very much of his
speech. He read it from manuscript
and occupied about an hour in its de
livery. The burden of his effort was
taken up in a discussion of the Sub
Treasury bill. He spoke of the objec
tions that had been urged against the
bill and wanted the farmers not to vote
for any man for Congress who was not
in favor of it, and who would not
pledge himself to supportit. Heargued
that if it were a law it would enable
the farmers to hold their cotton and
thus do away with middle men and
speculators and sell direct to the fac
tories and thus get more for their cot
ton. He thought the bill was consti- 1
tutional and could be classed and
passed under the general welfare clause.
Rev. J. A. Sligh was next introduced
and made a forcible speech. He spoke 1
of the necessity of the farmers organ
izing and working together. Only by
organization could they command and
demand respect and recognition, for if
they were organized they would be a 1
power and their influence would be
felt and appreciated. As for the taxes
the farmers paid it all, either directly
or indirectly, and they should have a i
voice in the government. What would
benefit them would benefit all classes I
and professions. He also spoke of the
Sub-Treasury bill and favored it. He
said the bill was constitutional. If not
then all national banks were estab
lished under an Act that was not con
stitutional. He was not in favor of
class legislation and he did not think
the Sub-Treasury bill class legislation,
for if it benefitted the farmers it would1
benefit all other professions, for as the
farmers prospered all others prospered.
At the conclusion of Mr. Sllgh's
speech an intermission was taken of
one hour and a half for dinner. It was
a picnic dinner and to have viewed the
crowd one would have naturally con
cluded that there would not be enough ]
to feed them, but there was an abun-i
dance for all and plenty left. We had
several invitations to dinner and eati
with Maj. A. J. Gibson, P. M. Derrick,
Miss Addie Caldwell, Dr. 0. E. Hentz
and others, and we do not know that
we ever enjoyed a picnic dinner niore.1
Hon. WV. J. Talbert, Lecturer of thei
State Alliance, came on the up passen
ger train and after the dinner recess was
over he was introduced and spoke for
two hours. He spoke of the Alliance
and the work it was doing for the farm
ers and the importance of their joining
and working together in the Alliance
for their mutual benefit. He took oc
casion to say that any farmer who
would not join the Alliance had the
kiss of Judas on his lips and ought to
have the mark of Cain on his head.
He was not after arraying class against
class but the farmers ought to organize]
and stick together. The Alliance had<
to go into politics to a certain extent
to secure the reforms the farmers need<
and legislation that would benefit their
vocation. They were princepally after
national legislation and were in na
tional politics and he had tried to keep
from discussing State politics. Thei
farmers should look after the selection
:>f Congressmen who were pledged to
support such legislation as they wanted. <
He said all the Southern Congressmen]
had held a caucus when the Sub-Treas
ury bill came up to determine whether
tbey would support it, and a majority
had decided they would not, and very
soon after the country was flooded
with letters giving virtually the samei
reasons why they w ould not favor it
and intimated that somebody's money1
was behind the caucus that in some
way influenced to position of these
Congressmen. All the Congressmen
fronm South Carolina opposed thei
scheme, and he explained when he
said Tillnman, that he had reference to
Geo. D. Tillman and not to Benjamin1
R.Tillman. Helsaid that in the National
Congress there were only fourteen
farmers, one in the Senate and thirteen
in the House, yet the farmers were
largely in the majority in the country.
He thought however that the farmers
were getting their eyes opened and1
that they intend in the future to have
their rights. He also spoke of the Sub
Treasury scheme and told the farmers
they ought to favor it because it had
been decided that it was for their bene
lit, and he hoped they would endorse it
when he finished his speech. Mr.Talbert
is a good:and effective speaker and had
the attention of his audience. He in
terspersed his speech with several tell
ing anecdotes which amused the
crowd.
A t the conclusion of his speech Jos.
L. Keitt read a resolution endorsing
the Sub-Treasury bill and asked all
those who favored it to hold up their
hands. Quite a number of hands went
up. He then asked those who opposed
it to hold up their hands. None went
up, and the endorsement was an
nounced to be unanimous.
The Alliance meeting was then closed
andl Mr. Keitt turned over the meeting
to Mr. J. L. Hughey and several other
speeches were made.
Mr. Hughey introduced Col. D. K.
Norris, candidate for Congress, as the
first speaker. He only spoke a few
minutes. saying that he had intended
to discuss the Sub-Treasury bill but
that the ground had been so thoroghly
coveredl he wvould not make his speech.
Hie announced his candidacy for Con
gress and his endorsement of the Sub
Treasury.
Dr. S. Pope was the next speaker. He
(iscussed the March Convention, re
trenchment and reform and showed
wvhere, in his opinion, much could be
done to save money to the people-the
amount of taxation. State, county and
miuniclipal and the number.of bales of
cotton it took to pay it. He spoke of
Tilbnian's high character as a man, his
ability as a speaker and his success in
t he canvas, and expressed a fear that
lie wvould be assassinated, but said that
if lhe wvas his death would be avenged..
Hie p)aid a compliment to Gens. B rat
tont and Earle,tA. C. anid John C. Has-.
kell, and thought that all the abuse1
came fronm the other side, and said
t hat muchn of the abuse of ril11mn, was
a strike at the Alliance. He said ht
had heretofore opposed the Citadel
but always thought the education ther
better fitted a young man for life unde
our changed condition than at the
Tniversity, and from now hencefortil
be favored the Citadel, and hoped t h
people would instruct their legislator
from this county to vote for the presen
appropriation to the Citadel. l1
favored reducing the appropriation t<
the University to $2,0pN) per annun
and a reduction of the number of pro
fessors to s or 10, and thus make th
University what it was before the wa!
-a grand institution. He favored th(
Sub-Treasury bill to protect the pro
ducer against the speculator, the trust:
and the syndicates. He thought thal
much of the depression was due to
lack of circulating medium to meet the
demands of trade, and as the govern
ment had taken upon itself, by passing
the National Banking Act, to furnish
the money of the country thatit should
issue fifteen hundred millions of do!
lars and lend it to the landholder and
house holder upon mortgage for a terim
of five years at least at one per cent.
per annum. That it furnished the
National Banks a currency at one per
cent. and bonds to build the Pacific
Railroad and if it could do this, it was
its duty under the changed circun
stances of the country to do ihe ot her
also. Under the general welfare eluuse
of the constitution it could do anytlhing
for the general welfare of the people.
Before the war the States could,regu
late this matter through their Srate
and Private Bauks but these had been
swept away by the National Bank Act
which put a penalty of 10 per cent.
upon every State or Private Bank bill
paid out over a bank's counter for each
time paid out.
At the conclusion of l)r. Pope's
speech we had to leave to make the
Laurens train coming to Newbery and
we regret therefore that we cannot
give any synopsis, however ineomplete,
)f the other speeches. We understand
that speclees were made by Col. E. S.
Keitt, and C. L. Blease and .J no. W.
Scott, the two last named being candi
dates for the Legislature. Our synop
sis of the speeches is of necessity
eagreand from memory, but we have
)ndeavored to be fair and impartial.
yhe day passed off pleasantly and
very one seemed to have had a good
time.
The Newberry Band went down and
Eurnished the music for the occasion.
UORE MONEY AND THE WAY To (ET IT.
Dr. Pope has another scheme for in
:reasing the currency of the country
which was not mentioned in his speech
but which he has given us in conversa
tion, and it is this, and he favors its
idoption:
It is for the government to limit the
expense of the general government not
to exceed three hundred and seventy
Ive millions per annum. Stop the in
ternal revenue and the customs collec
tions for four years and issue legal ten
ler notes each year for four years to
the extent of the expenses of the gov
srnment and pay the money issued out
,n this way. This is the only other
way that he sees for the increase of the
irculating medium of the country to a
ealthy standard, which he regards as
fty dollars per capita.
Baptist Sunday-School Convention.
The third annual meeting of the
Baptist Sunday-school Convention of
Kewberry County was held at Mt. Zion

of Mt. Tabor, Union County, and JIis
F:nie Werts, of Silver street, :. .
DE \TH..
Mrs. Jane t'halmers of this county,
widow of the lateT. B. Chalmer., died
at her home on Thursday 19th instant
after a long illness.
Mr. Pat Hargrove died in No.
Township on 19th inst., at the resi
dence of Mr. Ivey M. Suber.
News has reached Newberry of the
death of Col. Whittield Walker, a bro
ther of Mr. Silas Walker, of Township
7, and at one time a resident of New
berry. He died at Jacksonville, Fla.,
and was about seventy two years of age.
He was a member of the Legisla.ure
from Newberry in 155, having been
elected to fill the unexpired term of
Col. James M. Crosson. He was the first
to raise a company during the war,
which went froi Newberry County.
After the war he went to Alabama, and
after remaining there for some years
he went to Florida in 1874. He was an
honest. upright man, and under Cleve
land's administration he was appointed
Collector of Internal Revenue for Flo
rida, and held it with great credit to
himself.
Mr. I. M. Smith Declines.
To the Editor of The Herald and
News: I see through your paper that
some friends have suggested me as one
of the members from this county of our
next House of Representatives. Please
allow me to return my most sincere
acknowledgements of the kindness in
dicated, and at the same time to de
cline the honor thus tendered me.
Business of a private nature ren<lers it
imp:ossible for me to spare the time,
necessary to a canvass, from my busi
ness and my home, :id I am satisfied
that the interests of the public will be
safe in the hands of others that I leave,
by this withdrawal, in the field.
Most respectfully,
I. M. SIrrrH.

NOTES FROM EXCELSIOR.
Our farmers have finished laying by
and are now enjoying a rest. Crops are
suffering considerably for the want of
rain.
A pleasant time is anticipated at the
barbecue to be furnished in Ridgeroad
section on the :;Ist' by Messrs. I;obb
and Wilson. A full turn out of candi
dates is expected to be present.
This community was well represented
at the Pomaria mass meeting on Satir
day. The attendance was large and
all present seemed to enjoy the day
spent together. The writer- returned
home at 5. p. n. feeling that we had
spent a pleasant day at Poniaria.
On Tuesday 22d the day of the an
nual meeting of the stock holders of
the Columbia Newberry and Laurens
Railroad, we, through the kindness of
Capt. H. C Moseley, of Prosperity, in
handing us a free ticket, had the:pleas
ure of visiting Columbia by the new
line. We were much delighted with
the country in which the road passes
and we believe the day is not far di -
tant when its opposers will say that
South Carolina has been benefited by
the new road. This was our first ride
on the road and we returned to Pros
perity feeling that we had spent a
pleasant day in the city and enjoyed
a delightful ride over the Columbia,
Newberry and Laurens Railroad.
Notes from No. 6.
Newberry w-as well reprepresented at
the Baptist Sunday-school Convention
at Mt. Zion on the 18th and 19th, and
added much to the success of the meet
ing.
The protracted meeting at Mit. Zion
church will commence on the first
Sunday in August. Don't know as yet
who will assist Bro. Langston in the
meeting.
Slim showers of rain last week, but
cotton is still suffering for rain. Corn
is going to make a very short crop.
Quite a number of our people are
being bound over to the Spartanburg
court in the Senn case.
The Tillman caucus met in the Fork
last Saturday and cast their votes for
the Legislature. The Tillmanites will
meet at Trinity on Wednesday, 23d, to
cast their votes for the Legislature. It
is reported that No. 6 has three candi
dates for legislative honors, viz, I. M1.
Smith, WN. G. Abrams and S. E. Senn.
Ilam unable to say anything positive
as to the truth of the report. The idea
seems to be to put in men in favor of
the Sub-treasury bill and to beat Wade
Hampton for the U. S. Senate.
Be careful, boys, and dofi't break
down too much of the Democratic wall.
