ELBERT H. AULL, EDITOR. EIBERT H. AULL, I Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL, i ZE JBERRY. S. C, THURSDAY, JANUARY 1, 1891. ANOTHER MILE STONE. Another mile stone in the journey of the world has been reached. To-day is the beginuing of the new year. We do not intend to moralize on the fieet ness of timie or anything of that kind, but it is well, occasionally, to review the past, and by a study of our short comings be mvre watchful of the pres ent and avoid the mistakes of the past. The past year has been a remarkable ne in many respects, and we trust that it is, as some claim, the dawn of an era of prosperity and greater devel opment of our State in all that goes to make up a happy, a contented and a prosperous people. The Herald and News closes up a quarter of a century of its existence. During that time it has passed through several changes and many vicissitudes, but it has always endeavored to hold up that which was right, and has worked Lnd labored for the material prosperity and the moral advancement of the people of this community. It may have erred, and no doubt it has, but it was an error of the judgment and not of the heart. It has been under the present management now near four years. During that time we have endeavored to stand for truth and justice. We have labored unceasingly for the- interests of our town and county as we saw them, speaking the truth as we conceived it. This we shall con tinue to do. We begin the new year with the first day. This is a time of resolutions and new resolves, but the best thing to do is to perform the duties of life faithfully and well as they present themselves, wheth er those duties be small or great. -No man can do more; none can expect more. You can be a hero, though your lot be -ast in the humblest walks of life. The past year has been a successful one in many respects. Our farmers have made good crops, and are in a good condition to begin another. Our town is moving forward. The graded IM~1 have been put in successful op eration; a new railroad has been com pleted to our town; a cotton seed oil mill and fertilizer company has been established and is in operation, and a number of new dwellings have been erected in our midst, but there is still room for more achievements. Then let us look to the future and act well in the present, for the past year has gone into history and it cannot be changed or undone, for all it contains "-is now secure and fast ; Not the gods can shake the past ; Flies to the adamtan iine door, Bolted down forever miore. None can re-enter there, Insert a leaf or forge a name;, To bind or unblud, add what lacked, Alter or mend eternal fact. The peetyear is to be what is known as an "otl year in politics," and The Herald and News is sincerely proud of it. We had enough politics in South Carolina the past year to be entitled to two "off years.'" We trust that the people can devote themselves for one twelve month to the improve ment of their material and moral re sources. We congratulate them upon this opportunity. Thos. E. Miller has served notice on Col. Elliott that he will contest his seat in Congress from the Seventh District. Miller was the Republican candidate and Elliott the Democratic candidate. There wa a contest before the State board and it was decided that Eliiott w...as legally elected and the certificate wsgiven to him. THE REMEDY. Every year we hear the cry of hard times and the scarcity of money, and no one realizes more painfully the fact of the latter than the country editor. The absence of money wvill generally make hard times. There is no doubt that the lowv price of cotton even with the good crops the past year has been a great hardship on the farmer. But still there is not such a great scarcity of money after ali. A great many rem edies have been suggested, amongst which are the sub-treasury scheme, the free coinage of silver and so on. We have one wvhich is plain and does not involve any great constitutional questions and .t is this: If every ~<man who has a dollar and owes some body t hat amount would just go along and pay it. and the fellow to whom it i paidl wouIld pay somebody else that he owes, why that dollar could travel around a good deal even in one day, and it would not be long before it Swould do. $1ina worth of work. T1o il lustrate, and we use it simply as an il lustra ion. If every subscriber to pa pes published in this ottice would pay us an average of &1.50 it wvould remove the cry of hard timies, for the time be ing at leas;, ev9en from the editorial sanctum of a country editor. But the trouble is whenever there is a little *stringency in theL money market every fellow who has a d:,llar holds the faster to it. This plan is the simplest that ye know of and we believe that if it wver honestly and faithfully tried that it would p.rove effectual. Wmn. E. Gldtoe "the grand old man,' nas paiSsed his S:st bii-thday, and is still halde and hearty in body and mid.u The bill providing for a reduction of salares was, during th1e closing hours of the Legislativ.e session, postponed to the next sess10io. Of course there wvill be plenty of can didates for the vacancy on the Supreme Bench, and it is none of our business who gets it, but it seems to us that the proper thing to do wouldt be to pro mote one of the present associate jus tices to the Supreme Bench and then elect a circuit .Judge Associate Justice. Judge Wallace would be a good selec - ion. Hie would adorn the Supreme bench, being learned in the law and having e?perience in its administra tion and execution. PRESSLEY BOLAR RUFF, X. D. The death of Dr. P. B. Ruff, on Sun day last, removes from our midst another of the old landmarks of New berry. He was one of the oldest, if not the oldest, citizen in the county. He was born on the 25th of December, 1801, and died on Sunday, December 28, 1890. He was a native of this county and spent nearly his whole life here. Dr. Ruff was in mauy respects a most remarkable man, and deserves more than a passing notice. In his youth he was considered the sickly member of the family and yet he outlived all the rest. Out of seven brothers, five lived beyond the allotted age of three-score years and ten, and three were past four-score years when the summons came. Dr. Ruff was twice married. His first wife died in 1850, and his second about three years ago. He buried all of his seven chil dren and only one grandchild. Mrs. E. H. Aull, and three great-grandchildren survive him. He began the practice of medicine in Newberry County in 1832, having grad uated from the South Carolina Medical College, Charleston, on the 21st March of that year, and for more than half a century was actively engaged in the practice of his profession. He enjoyed a large and lucrative practice and was considered among the best physicians of his day. A half century spent in minister ing to the suffering and in alleviating pain, is more than most men can claim for their work on earth. Who can estimate the good that an honest, faith ful and benevolent physician can ac complish in a life devoted to his pro fession. To minister to the suffering in the sanctity of the sick room, how very near the sacredness of that higher ministry of pastoral care, when the imperial traits of the true physician are manifest! Such a life was that of Dr. P. B. Ruff. But it has ended, as all things earthly, and he has been gath ered to his fathers. For the past three years, since the death of his wife, his life has necessa rily been lonely, and he was only wait ing for the summons. His funeral service was held in the Methodist church on Tuesday morn ing, after which his body was laid to rest in the family burying ground at the old cemetery along with the other members of his family. It looks as if the third party scheme was about to die for the present. The West can't get the co-operation of the South. Our present conditions are such that we cannot have but two par ties. BOYS AND BUSINESS. On the above topic the Atlanta Con stitution has the following very timely comments: "The Chicago Herald has asked.sev eral of the most successful business men in Chicago what qualifications they deem best to fit boys for commerce and trade. Without an exception the answers are to the effect that boys wanted in business must have a good English education. They must be quick at figures, write a good hand, and express themselves fluently and correctly with their tongues and pens. Nothing is said about what is called higher education. The inference is that it is not wanted. The youth who is chock full of culture is, nine times out of ten, a very useless fellow when he has to start at the bottom of the ladder. He is under the impression that he is entitled to a place at the top, and wants to get there without the trouble of climbing. It is a bad thing for a boy to:be edu cated into the belief that he knows it al!. WYhen he starts in the world with simply an ordinary common school education he is willing to. learn some thing more. Xe feels that he must serve before he can command, follow before he can lead, be bossed before he can boss others. There is hope for such a boy, but very little for one who imagines the educational mill has turn ed him out fully equipped and prepared for leadership. The boy who has not been made the slave of books will learn to use them during his business career, but the youngster who is the victim of culture will find it a hard matter to become a business-like, practical worker in the great bee hive of the world. A healthy country lad, who has mas tered the three R's will stand a better hance of rising in a large business bouse than a graduate who is able to grumble at hard work in five lan guages." The boy or young man who is quick t figures, can write a good hand and an express himself fluently and cor rectly with his tongue and pen is very well equipped indeed for the business walks of life. At the same time we do not think that all this is any argument against higher education as it is termed. The young man who has received the dvantages of a higher, or collegiate ducation should possess in so much igher degree the above necessary ualifications for a business career. It s very bad indeed for a young man, as heConstitution says,to be educated into he belief that he knows it all and that here is no more for him to learn. But our experience and observation is that only those who get a mere smattering f education, so to speak, are those who think they know it all. The most learned of men are generally the most umble and always unassuming, and always the most willing to learn more. It is very true that the greatest of com anders are those who have first learned to obey orders and no one can ope to rise to a position which will ommand attention and admiration nless he first learns to obey. In other words the man who expects to be great ust learn to perform the little duties that lie in the pathway of every day ife as they present themselves. The work of life only begins after the educa tion has been completed and only by the proper use of it can it be of any value to its possessor. The graduate who grumbles at hard work in five or more languages is not balanced. He is lacking in something. But all this is o argument against education or even higher education. We acknowledge from Senator Butler copy of his speech on the force bill. President Harrison has appointed Judge Henry B. Brown, of Michigan, as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States to succeed Associate IJustice Miller, deceased. 'he appointment has been eonfirmed y the Senate. The appointment is. saidto be agood one. Judge Brown is f course a Republican. a-. THE CHIEF JUSTICESHIP. The death of Chief Justice Simpson of the Supreme Court seems to have complicated matters a little, and the lawyers who have been giving opinions seem to differ, as lawyers will. No opinion has yet been published or given by Attorney-General Pope who is the legal adviser of the Governor, neither has there beei any intermation of Gov. Tillman as to what course he will pur sue in regard to the vacancy. There are only two things that the Governor can do. One is to call an extra session of the Legislature for the purpose of electing a successor to Judge Simpson, and the other is to let the vacancy re main until the meeting of the Legisla ture next November. It seems to be very clear that the vacancy connot be filled by executive appointment for the for the constitution provides that the executive can only appoint when the vacancy is for a period less than one year. To call an extra session of the Legislature would cost the State $10,000 or $15,000. We do not believe there is such urgency for the filling of this vacancy as to incur the trouble and ex pense of an extra session. The consti tution provides that two of the court shall constitute a quorum and only the concurrence of two is necessary to ren der a judgment. If it should happen that they did not concur the case would have to go over we presume. One ar gument in favor of having a Chief Jus tice at once is that the business of the .court now is already very much crowded and the work keeps three Judges right busy. But as to the legality of the court with the Chief Justice dead, it is the opinion of very able lawyers that there is no question about it. The best thing to do is to let the mat ter go over to the regular assembling of the Legislature. AN EDITOR REMEMBERED. It is always pleasant to know that one's labors are appreciated. We often think we make a great mistake not to let those who labor among us and foz our good, know that we appreciate what they are doing. A kind word fitly spoken is often a great encourage ment to greater achievement, and it costs so little, and is so often withheld when it could be sincerely and honestly spoken. The editor of the Greenville News, who was in Columbia during the sit ting of the Legislature, wrote some ad mirable articles for his paper, and was particularly strong and eloquent in his advocacy of the re-election of Hamp ton. On his return home, the ladies of Greenville, in appreciation of this advocacy presented him with a hand some office chair and a beautiful gold pen. This was very nice in these ladies and we feel sure Editor Williams duly appreciates it. We congratulate him on the reception of this token of es teem and appreciation on the part of his home folks. He richly deserves it. HIs REASONS. Governor Tillman in his veto mes sage of the railroad bill assigns two rea sons for the veto. First, one of the planks in the platform of the March Conven tion recommends that these officers be elected by the people, and on this plat form he was elected and still stands. Second, the bill as it stands permite the railroads to appeal to the courts from the decisions of the commission ers, and in so doing places the jurisdic tion in the hands of one man. The bill was passed by 9,n overwhelm ing majority in both houses. The Senate refused to sustain the veto by a vote of 25 to 5. In the House the mem bers seemed to be inclined to do the bidding of the Governor and the veto was sustained by a vote of 80 to 7. Some interesting articles are pub lished this week on the first page of The Herald and News. It will not be out of season any time during the year to heed Bill Arp's good words for the orphans and do a kind act for them. .. . ..

[Special to News and Courier.] UoN, December 29.-In reading the manifesto of the Third Party con ference, published in the News and Courier a few days ago, the writer no ticed the name of J. D. Norris, repre senting South Carolina, signed to it, and he was spoken of as a recent can didate for Congressional honors. This happens to be some other Norris, and in order that the readers of the News and Courier may know who J. D. Nor ris is this letter is written. J. D. Norris is a negro school teacher and noted Republican of this county. He was a member of the colored Alli ance some time ago, and is still a mem her if I am not mistaken. Norris has fgured for a number of years in this county as an irresponsible person, and if the other signers of the call for the Third Party are as poor specimens as Norris is, no fear need be felt that a new party will be organized. But may be the coming year will be another "record-breaking" year, and perhaps Norris will amount to something after REFUNDING THE DEBT. New York Financial Magnates Look Upon the Scheme With Favor. [Special to the Greenville Daily News.j COLUMBIA, Dec. 29.-Attorney Gen eral Pope announced to-day tbathe had reeived official information from finan cial magnates in New York to the effect that the appplication of the State to refund its debt would be received with great favor. Death of One df Barnwell County's Legis lators, LSpecial to the World.1 WILLISTON, Dec. 30.-Dr. S. S. Owens, of Elko, a member of the legis lature, died of paralysis at 4 a. m. to lay. He returned from Columbia last Wednesday and was taken seriously ill atnrday_ DEATH OF THE CHIEF JSTICE. 'he Hon. W. D. Simpson Breathes his Last After a Brief Illness-Heart Failure the Cause of Death-a Brief Sketch of his Career. [Special to News and Courier.] COLUMBIA, December 2.-Judge William D. Simpson, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of South Carolina, died of heart failure at his home in Sumter street at 7 o'clock this morning. The announcement of his death sent a thrill of astonishment and sorrow throughout the city and the State as well. Last Friday morning the Judge was at his post in the Supreme Court, ap parently in perfect good health for one of his age. On Monday he com lained slightly of indigestion, and Wednesday morning was so unwell that he re mained in bed. He did not improve, but was not considered dangerously ill till yesterday afternoon. Drs. B. W. Taylor and A. N. Talley were called in, and then for the first time the family learned that the end was near. Gradually his pulse began to sink and at 1 o'clock this morning the phy sicians knew there was no hope. All through the night the sick man was perfectly conscious until without a struggle or a sigh the breath left his body, and the brave soldier, the loving husband, the devoted father, the un flinching patriot, was no more. All of the family except Mrs. S. J. Simpson, of Spartan burg, are in the city. Judge Simpson leaves a wife and seven children: Mrs. J. N. Wright, of Laurens; Mrs. N. J. Holmes, of Lau rens; Mrs. S. 3. Simpson, ef Spartan burg; Henry Young Simpson, of the Laurens Bar; William D. Simpson, Jr., and Earnest A. Simpson, of the Colum bia Bar, and Prof. John W. Simpson, of the South Carolina University. Ever since the morning telegrams of condolence have been coming in from the Associate Judges, the Circuit Judges, the mayor of Laurens, the Bars of different counties, and hundreds of sympathizing friends all over the State. The flags over the State House have been placed at half-mast and the Court House is draped in deepest mourning. The remains were carried to Laurens on the 5 o'clock train this evening, and will be interred in the cemetery at that place at half-past 2 o'clock to-morrow .afternoon. William Dunlap Simpson was born in Laurens County, S. C., October 27, 1823, being the son of Dr. J. W. Simp son. He was educated at the South Carolina College, graduated with Law rence M. Keitt and C. D. Melton, in the class of 1844. He went to the Har vard Law School, but left after the first session on account of ill her.1th. Returning home he commenced the practice of law in his native County of Laurens. About this time he was married to Miss Jane E. Young, daugh ter of Henry Young, a distinguished citizen of Laurens. Re was several times a member of the General Assembly before the war, once occupying the position of State Senator from Laurens. When South Carolina seceded from the Union, he promptly entered the army, and was present at the siege of Fort Sumter. As an aide to Gen. Bonham he was in the first battle of Manassas, after which - he went home and was elected major of the 14th South Carolina regi ment, of which he afterwards became lieutenant colonel. He went to Vir ginia with his regiment, which was at tached to Gregg's brigade, and was en gaged in both the actions at Bull Run, the Seven Days' fight, Cold Harbor, Frazier's Farm, Malvern Hill, Harper's Ferry, Antietam, or Sharpsburg, and other engagements, but though con tinuously on active duty and never missing a battle, he was never wounded. In the latter part of 1863 Gen. Boa ham, who then represented the Lau rens district in the Confederate Con gress, was elected Governor and Mr. Simpson was chosen to fill the vacancy thus created. He was subsequently re-elected to that body, and remained until the end of the war. He then went with his broken fortunes to his ruined home and recommenced the practice of his profession. In 1868 he was a delegate to the National Democratic Convention at New York, which nominated Seymour and Blair. The same year he was nom inated for Congress by the Democrats of the 4th district of South Carolina, defeating his Republican comF:etitor, the Hon. A. S. Wallace, by a majority of 4,800 votes. Notwithstanding he was duly com missioned by Governor Scott, Republi can, the House refused Mr. Sim son his seat, on the ground that be was dis qualified under the 14th constitutional amendment, and admitted WVallace. In 1876 Mr. Simpson was nomiaated without his presence or knowledge for Lieutenant Governor on the tickct with Wade Hampton and accompanied Hampton on his magnificently success ful campaign, visiting each of the thirty-two counties in the State and makigg several speeches in each coun His election as Lieutenant Governor made him President of the State Senate, which place he filled during the troub bus times when Governor Chamberlain attempted to hold over into Hampton's term. Hampton and Simpson were re elected in 1878. On ii ampton's election to the United States Senate Mr. Sinmp son became Governor of South Caroli na, having previously acted as such uring the period of Governor Hamp ton's disability from illness. His term >f office expired in November, 1880. He was elected Chief Justice of the Supreme Court while still in the Gu bernatorial office, but did not assume the former position till August, 18S80. udge Simpson's present term of office would have expired in Jnly, 1892. It was in his social and domestic re lations that Chief Justice Simpson was most fully appreciated, and his whole eartedness, his geniality and mnagne tismn of character bound him to his tried friends by hooks of steel. The :onstant association with his brother WVistar-of nearly the same age, was wonderful. They prepared for college in the same class, they occupied the same dormitory at Princeton for the full course of four years, they read law in the same office in Laurens, practiced together in the same office till some of their children were grown and lived in houses facing one another on the same street. The affliction which befell J. Wistar Simpson, this brother, of a slight stroke of paralysis, from necessity brought about a dissolution. They had both told the writer that during these many years of common stock living they had never had a settlement and probably would not have till the times of the restitution of all things. None :an mourn him as his brother can, but each of his long-tried friends feels that is deat h is very like a family bereave ment.
