LBERHT . AULL, EnIoR. ELBERT H. AULL, t Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL, WBE R RY. 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 beginning of the new year. We do not intend to moralize on the fleet ness of time or anything of that kind, but it is well, occasionally, to review the past, and by a study of our short comings be more watchful of the pres ent and avoid the mistakes of the past. The past year has been a remarkable one in niany 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 and labored for the material prosperity and the moral advancement of the people of this commumity. 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 expeet more. You can be a hero, though your lot be 2ast 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 schools 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 POo secure and fast ; Not the gods can .shake the past ; yu othe naaman& ine door, None can re-ent er the:e, Insert a leaf or forge a name; To bind or unbind, add what lacked, Alter or mend eternal fact." The present year is to be what is known as an "'off year in politics," and The Herald and News is sincerely proud of it. We had enough politics in South Carolina th'e past year to be entitled to twvo "off years." We trust that the people can devote themselves for one twelve month to the improve mnent 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 was a contest before the State board and it was decided that Eliiott was legally elected and the certificate was given to him. THE REMEDY. Every year wve hear the cry of hard times and the scarcity of money, and no one realizes more painfully the fact of the lat ter than the country editor. The absence of money will generally -make hard times. There is no doubt that the low 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 all. 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 which is plain and does not involve any great constitutional questions antd it is this: If every man who has a dollar and owes some bodly that amount would just go along and pay it. and the fellow to whom it is paid would pay somebody else that] he owes, why that dollar could travel1 around a good deal even in one day,1 and it would not be 1o:2 before it would do sl worth of work. Toil lustrate, and we use it simply as an il lust rat ion. If e.very subscriber to pa pers published in this oflice would pay us an as erage of S .50) it would remove Me cry of hard timaes, for the time be ing a-. last, even from the editorial sanectu-a of a country editor. But the trouble is whenever there is a little stringencyv ini the mloney market every fellow whio has a dollar holds the faster to it. This piani is the simplest that we know of and we believe that if it were hion..tly and faithfully tried that it wouhi frove etetul Wia. E.

Ruff, on Sun day last, removes from our midst C another of the old landmarks of New- c berry. He was one of the oldest, if not I the oldest, citizen in the county. He s was born on the25th of December, 1801, C and died on Sunday, December28, 1890. 1 He was a native of this county and I spent nearly his whole life here. Dr. Rufl was in many respects a most remarkable man, and deserves E more than a passing notice. In his youth he was considered the < sickly member of the family and yet C he outlived all the rest. Out of seven ( brothers, five lived beyond theallotted 2 age of three-score years and ten, and three were past four-score years when t the summons came. Dr. Ruff was 1 twice married. His first wife died in I 1850, and his second about three years I 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 i 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- I ing to the suffering and in alleviating 1 pain, is more than most men can claim < for their work on earth. Who can estimate the good that an honest, faith- I 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, a 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 wr-s only wait ing for the summons. H:, 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 expes 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 he1 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 wants1 to get there without the trouble of climbing. It is abad thing for aboy to'be edu cated into the belief that he knows it all. When he starts in the world with simply an ordinary common school education he is willing to learn some thing more. Xe feel that he must I 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- I ed him out fully equipped and prepared for leadership. The bywho has not been made the slave of boks will learn to use them t during his business career, but theC youngster who is the victim of culture, will find it a hard matter to become a business-like, practical worker in the1 reat bee hive of the world.t A healthy country lad, who has mas-i tered the three R's will stand a better hbance of rising in a large business ouse than a graduate who is able to ;rumble at hard work in five Ian-C ~uages." The boy or young man who is quick it figures, can write a good hand and an express himself fluently and cor ectly with his tongue and pen is very well equipped indeed for the business 1 walks of life. At the same time we do iot think that all this is any argument igainst higher education as it is termed. 1 l'he young man who has received the dvantages of a higher, or collegiate ~ducation should possess in so much 2igher degree the above necessary lualificatins for a business career. It s5 very bad indeed for a young man, as :heConstitution says,to be educated into he belief that he knows it all and thatt :here is no more for him to learn. But f ur experience and observation is that mLy those who get a mere smattering >f education, so to speak, are those who :hink they know it all. The most< earned of men are generally the most umble and always unassuming, and lways the most willing to learn more. [t is very true that the greatest of com manders are those who have first earned to obey orders and no one can ope to rise to a position which will command attention and admiration unless he first learns to obey. In other words the man who expects to be great must learn to perform the little duties that lie in the pathway of every day I 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 no argument against education or even higher education. We acknowledge from Seniator Butler a copy of his speech on the force bill. President Harrison has appointed Judge Henry B. Brown, of Michigan, s Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States to succeed Associate !Justice Miller, deceased. The appointment has been confirmed by the Senate. The appointment is aid to beagood one. Judge Brown is fanen a Republican. THE CHIEF JUSTICESHIP. The death of Chief Justice Simpsoi f the Supreme Court seems to hav( omplicated matters a little, and th( awyers who have been giving opinioni eem to differ, as lawyers will. NC pinion has yet been published or giver y Attorney-General Pope who is th( egal adviser of the Governor, neithei tas there been any intermation of Gov Nilman as to what course he will pur ue in regard to the vacancy. Ther re only two things that the Governoi an do. One is to call an extra sessior f the Legislature for the purpose o: lecting a successor to Judge Simpson nd the other is to let the vacancy re nain until the meeting.of the Legisla ure next November. It seems to b4 rery c:ear that the vacancy connot b illed by executive appointment for tb 'or the constitution provides that th4 ,xecutive can only appoint when tho racancy is for a period less than on rear. To call an extra session of thi egislature would cost the State $10,00 >r $15,000. We do not believe there i! uch urgency for the filling of thi racancy as to incur the trouble and ex >ense of an extra. session. The consti ution provides that two of the cour hall constitute a quorum and only thi oncurrence of two is necessary to ren ler a judgment. If it should happei hat they did not concur the case woul iae to go over we presume. One ar ument in favor of having a Chief Jus ce at once is that the business of thi ourt now is already very much crowdet nd the work keeps three Judges righ usy. But as to the legality of th -ourt with the Chief Justice dead, it i ;he opinion of very able lawyers tha here is no question about it. The best thing to do is to let the mat er go over to the regular assemblin, )f the Legislature. AN EDITOR REMEMBERED. It is always pleasant to know tha )ne's labors are appreciated. We oftei hink we make a great mistake not t< et those who labor among us and fo ur good, know that we appreciat what they are doing. A kind wor tly spoken is often a great encouragE nent to greater achievement, and i :osts so little, and is so often withhel< when it could be sincerely and honestl: spoken. The editor of the Greenville New. who was in Columbia during the sit ing of the Legislature, wrote some ad nirable articles for his paper, and wa particularly strnng and eloquent in hi dvocacy of the re-election of Hamp .on. On his return home, the ladies o 3reenville, in appreciation of thi Ldvocacy presented him with a hand iome office chair and a beautiful gol >)en. This was very nice in these ladie mnd we feel sure Editor Williams duli Lppreciates it. We congratulate hin n the reception of this token of es eem and appreciation on the part o s home folks. He richly deserves it HIS REAsONS. Governor Tillman in his veto mes sage of the railroad bill assigns two rea os for the veto. First, one of the plank n the platform of the March Conven ion recommends that these officers b< iected by the people, and on this plat 'orm he was elected and still stands second, the bill as it stands permit he railroads to appeal to the court rom the decisions of the commission rs, and in so doing places the jurisdic ,ion in the hands of one man. The bill was passed by an overwhelml ng majority in both houses. Thb senate refused to sustain the veto by rote of 25 to 5. In the House the mem >ers seemed to be inclined to do thi >idding o:f the Governor and the vet< vas sustained by a vote of 80 to 7.

Simpson Breathe,4 his Last After a Brief Illness-Heart Failure the Cause of Death-a Brief Sketch of his Career. t [Special to News and Courier.] J COLUMBIA, December 26.-Judge William D. Simpson, Chief Justice of I the Supreme Court of South Carolina, I 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. r Last Friday morning the Judge was at his post in the Supreme Court, a. parently in perfect good health for one of his age. On Monday he complaifed < slightly of indigestion, and Wednesday t 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 5 through the night the sick man was i s perfectly conscious until without a i struggle or a sigh the breath left his I body, and the brave soldier, the loving husband, the devoted father, the un t flinching patriot, was no more. All of the family except Mrs. S. J. Simpson, of Spartanburg, are in the city. Judge Simpson leaves a wife and seven chftdren: Mrs. J. N. Wright, of Laurens; Mrs. N. J. Holmes, of Lau - reus; Mrs. S. J. Simpson, cf Spartan - burg; Henry Young Simpson, of the Laurens Bar; William D. Simpson, Jr., , and Earnest A. Simpson, of the Colum I bia Bar, and Prof. John W. Simpson, b of the South Carolina University. Ever since the morning telegrams of condolence have been coming in from the Associate Judges, the Circuit t 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 t place at half-past 2 o'clock to-morrow i afternoon. D William Dunlap Simpson was born in Laurens County, S. C., October 27, 1823, being the son of Dr. J. W. Simp e son. He was educated at the South I 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 I session on account of ill health. r 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, di ugh - ter of Henry Young, a distiuguished - citizen of Laurens. 8 Me was several times a member of the General Assembly before the var, once occupying the position .of State - Senator from Laurens. When South f 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 I 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 I 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. Bon 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 Sof the 4th district of South Carolina, defeating his Republican competitor, the Hon. A. S. Wallace, by a n'ajority Sof 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 he was dis qualified under the 14th constitutional amendment, and admitted Wallace. In 1876 Mr. Simpson was nominated without his presence or knowledge for Lieutenant Governor on the tickct with W Xade Hampton and accomnanied Hampton on his magnificently success- - 1ful campaign, visiting each of the -thirty-two counties in the State and making several speeches in each coun His election as Lieutenant Governor made him President of the State Senate, which place he filled during the troub os times when Governor Chamberlainl attempted to hold over into Hampton's term. Hampton and Simpson were re elected in 1878. On b ampton's election to the United States Senate Mr. Simp son became Governor of South Caroli na, having previously acted as such durincw the period of Governor Hamp ton's disability from illness. His term of 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, 1880. Judge 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 heartedness, his geniality and mnagne tism of character bound him to his tried friends by hooks of steel. The constant association with his brother Wistar-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 bad a settlement andi probably would not have till the times, of the restitution of all things. None can mourn him as his brother can, but each of his long-tried friends feels that his death is ver'y like a family bereave mnen.
