ELBERT H. AULL, EL.rru::. ELBERT H. AULL, (Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSLAL, NEWTBERRY. S. C, THURSDAY, MAIRCH 12, 1 91. WHY NOT A CANNI\G FACTOnY. Why could not Newberry have a canning factory. The establishment of such a factory would be "enterprise and progress." We do not mean for the k town or the county to vote a tax to build the factory, but it would be a :_ good thing for both if some of our busi ness men who have the means would thus invest it. And we see no reason why it could not be made to pay a nice profit on the investment. Such an enterprise would help the 4 town in many ways. It would give employment to more people, and ? would help the business of the town by putting in circulation more money here. Then it would give our friends in the country a ready and convenient mar ket for their tomatoes, peaches, black berries, apples and so forth, and if they r- could turn these things into money they would be surprised to find how much they are now wasting. We heard the other day of one farmer who last year had made for himself about 500 three pound cans and we I have no doubt but that he put up that much fruit and what he did not want for his own family he turned into money.1 It is said that it does not take much capital to put up a canning factory and we believe it would pay. It is worth investigating. Will not some body who has a little money to invest make the start and the capital would soon be raised. The war is truly on with the State of South Carolina and the Coosaw people. An injunction has been secured by Coosaw in the L uited States court. ? In about ten days the argument will be heard on motion to dissolve it. The w hole business is likely to remain in the courts for a year or two at least. N. The State will lose a good big revenue ~ in the shape of royalty besides the ex ' penses of paying attorney fees and other ineidentals. It may be all right and the S.ate may profit by the whole business, but so far we have failed to see just how it is coming about. We presume Gov. Tillman and the phos phate commission know what they are : doing. There is one thing, however, that we have never exactly understood, : and that is why the State wants to in terfere with the Coosaw Company and stop it from digging rock. All the State wants is the royalty promptly Spaid, and we do not see what dih'erence -it makes whether this royalty is paid by the Coosaw Company or some other. If tbe royalty is too low, why let the State raise the price. The record shows that the Coosaw Company has always paid the royalty promptly and pays a hrg amout. That is what the State --wants. We-trust it will all come out right in -the end and that the State will not be the loser, and we hope that Gov. Till man will be able to justify his course. The Greenville News says "there is no getting around the fact that South ern Democratic State treasurers have made a bad record." Defalcations have occurred in Louisiana, Alabama, Mary *land and Arkansas. The News thinks -the trouble comes from the long con tinuance in power of one political -party, thereby producing stagnation, -and no doubt there is much truth in this. But the one who succeeds an other in such an office even of the same political party ought to see to it that *the cash is alright and that the vouch ers are proper. This thought leads us to suggest that in such offices where a lot of money is -handled one person ought not to be -eligible to be his own successor. This would necessitate short settlements and a turning over and an accountinig. --The last Congress appropriated $1,000,000,000. 'Where is the trouble some surplus now'? The time for our municipal election is approaching and so far everything is very quiet in that direction. Slate making will begin soon. FOUR YEARS. Four years ago. counting fromi last Saturday, or rather on the 7th of March, 1887, the present publishers assumed control of The Herald and News. That is not a long time, yet, during that -period we have had many e. eriences, some pleasant and some :hierwise. We do not propose to recount these, so do not be alarmed. During that time, however, notwitha-. standing the dililculties aiid obstacles that have been in our way, and the enemies we have made, for no doubt we have made some, The Herald and News has steadily growu in public favor. Our subscription is larger to-day than it ever has been and we hope still to increase it. In the conduct of the pa per wye have cndeavored to be fair and just to friend and foe, nothing exten uating, nor setting down aught in malice. 'We have only referred to this anni versarv in order. to express our appre ciation of the kind consideration with which The Herald and News has been received by the people of Newberry County, and to further express the hope that we may ever be worthy of their good will andl that The Herald and News will always be a welcome visitor to their homes. We have no promises to mke for the future and stand by the samet creed that we began with four years ago, and that is to per form our duty to the paper and the public faithfully and conscientiously' as we see it. We publish on the first page this weekt an interesting account of the --closing scenes of the ~5st C'ongress It was a remarkable Congress nhda remarkable closing. Laurens has an evening dilyth City Gossip. We are glad to reccive it - mng ou nexavngs. LOQKS LIKE PALME1:. 'The p-aptrs ye terday stated that the tight f,r -rte States 5euator in II'i nois was about to draw to a close and would result in the e:ection of General Palmer. The F. M. A. A. members refused to go to the :epublicans and had determined to unite with the DemocratA which would secure Pal mer's election. NOIILE'S NONENSE. Governor Til-nan's Sensibe iteply-The Que tion Being a Division of Our School Fund Between Whites aid Blacks. [The State, sth.]j Quite a spicy correspondence is now going on between the Governor of': South Carolina and the Secretary of the United States Department of the Interior, and the Governor last night' gave it to the public. Lasf June the United States Congress passed an act "To apply a portion of the proceeds of the public lands to the more complete endowment and support of the colleges for the benefit of agriculture and the mechate arts established under the provisions of an act of Congress, ap proved July 2d, 1S62." The act appro nriated $15,0a+A to the agricultural col leges of this State, beginning June :;0th, and an annual increase of $1,000 over the preceding year for ten years. The act provided that the division of the rn'mey between white and colored colleges should be "equitable." The State Legislature passed an act accept ing the fund and dividing the money equally. Gov. Tillman in January notified Secretary Noble of the action of the State, and -sent him a copy of the act. On January I1 Gov. Tillnian re ceived this letter fro m Secretary Noble. It is self-explanatory. Hon. B. R. Tillman, Governor of South Carolina: Sir-I have the honor to acknowl edge the receipt of your letter of Feb ruary 24, enclosing a certified act of your Legislature, accepting the pro visions of the act approved August 30, 1S':0, making appropriation for agricul tural colleges. The provision of said act of your Legislature proposes to divide the said fund equally between the Claflin Agri cultural College (colored) and the Clen sou Agricultural College (white.) The school population, according to the latest count on tile in this ollice (filed April, isSo.) is 3-..9 per cent. white and 64.1 per cent. colkred. I am of the opiniou that the ' greement for an equitable division of this fund between institutions for the education of the races will be met by dividing the same in the said ratio of the school popula tion in this case. Very respectfully, JoH N W. NOBLE, Secretary. The Governor was ill when he re ceived the communication, but as soon as he recovered he sent the following repDly on February 16, which also ex liaiLS i:,lf:. Hon. VJoh W. Noble, Secretary of the inteiOr, Washington, 1). C.: Sir-Rep ving to your letter of Janu arv 31st his been delayed by illness. The question as to what would be a "just and egqutable" division between our white and colored agricultural and mechanical colleges of the fund appro rriated by Congress last year, is, so far as this State is concerned, no longer an op)en one. Our Legislature has acted and adjourned, and will not meet again before November next. I have no powver in the lpremises. Please let me know wvhether you refuse to pay South Carolina her quota upon the leasis pro posed by the General Assembly, and, also, wh'ether you insist that the school population, as shown by the census of IE), instead of 1890i, is to govern. Further, I will call your attention to these facts: Over 50 per cent. of the school tax of South Carolina is paid by the whites, while tlhe negroes receive the benefit of over half of it-. Second, the relative demand for collegiate edu cation, which Congress provided for, bears no relation to the relative mnem bers of the two races. Third, your re fusal to allow this money to be divided as our Legislature has ordered will cripple the colored college very serious ly, because, relying on this fund, it has already entered upon enlargements of teaching force and facilities which will have to be stopped; while the Clemson College (white) is not yet in operation and e~an easily wait an appeal to Con ress next December. I ask you, then, o weigh your actions well before doing anything to injure our colored col lee. Very respectfully, B. R. TILLMAN, Governor South Carolina. The question of the division is an in teresting one, -md all anxiously await Secretary Noble' further action. The Governor thitiks that the ternm "eqit able'- may be construed in various ways and is ambiguous. DEATH OF JUDGE ALDRICH'S WIFE. A Sad Sequel to a Golden Wedding-All Her Children Present. [Spe cial to the News and Courier.] B3ARNxwELL, C. H. March 7,-MIrs. M. A. Aldrich, the wife of Judge A. P. Aldrich whose golden wedding was noted a few weeks ago, died this morn ing about S o'clock.

V_A. v i AUGstSTA AGAIN UNDER WATER. t Repetition of the Great Frerhit of 1555 The Savannah River Breaks Its Bounds and Covers the S:reets of the Foun tain City froin One to Eight Feet. [Special to The State.] AU G USTA, GA., March 9.-The river has been rising all day. This morning t .:;o it stood 31 feet 6 inches by the overnment gauge at the city bridge at .entre street. Since that hour the rise ,as been more or less regular, averaging .bout three inches au hour. No serious apprehension was felt early his morning by the old inhabitants, x ho took it for granted that bceause he rain had ceased here that there was ao more danger, not. giviig theslightest :onsiderationl to the immense amounit >f rain above the city which had poured Iown steadily for days, and which had hct yet reached here. But as the day vore on their fears began to grow more ;erious, and they began to be less sure )f their predictions. As the water crept ip, inch by inch, they began to realize ,he terrible calamity which might gain befall the "Electric City," and as larkness settled down on the city, which was now transformed into an sland half under water. bounded on he north by the Savannah, with the ater on the west at Marbury street td south and east at the flats beyond he railroad track, they went to their I .iomes or stood watching the river lowly creep up the government gauge, not knowing what the night might bring forth. The entire upper portion of the city s under water, varying from one to !iht feet. The electric lights are out ud electric cars at a stand-still. All the mills have shut down on account >f the back water in their raceways, which prevents the use of the wheels. Harrisburg is mostly under water. Summerville and the Dublin suburbs ire entirely cut off from the city. The railways entering the city are under water. -The Knoxville and West crn trains are stopped since noon. The last Georgia Central train entered the city at 5.30 p. mt., with water in their boxes and fires out. This is the last train in or out on that road. The South Carolina and Richmond and Danville are still above the waters, but cannot ,et to the depot. The water is rushing nder the bridges of both roads with fearful rapidity, but is yet no fears are entertained for their safety. The water has reached the corner of Broad and Campbell streets, and is slowly making its way to the soldiers' monument, which stands on the high est ground in the business part of the city. The Planter's hotel is flooded with the water a foot deep in the office. Latest reports from up-country say the river is rising rapidly and an im mense amount of water coming down, which will begin to reach Augusta about midnight. How serious the ad ditional water will prove cannot be judged, but the people are in hopes that it will not be serious, as the immense stretch of country that is now inun dated will cause the river to rise more slowly and give the water a chance to gradually spread itself without serious daiage. Thirty-seven to thirty-eight feet is now predicted as the worse to be feared, and this will, unless a very strong cur rent suts in through the city, do but little damage beyond the flooding of stores to a depth of a foot or so. except n the lower ground, where the rise will be more seriously felt. At 10 o'clock to-night the river had reached 3.5 feet, and was still rising. The residence portion of the city, above ackson street, is flooded. Hamburg, on the South Carolina side of the river, s entirely under water, and not a foot f ground is visible between the river bnks and the hills, ahalf mileheyond. The hight reached by the freshet of SSS was 40 feet. TIRITY-FIVE FEET AND ONE INCH. [Special to The State.1 AUCaCS-rA, GA., March 10.--I a. mn. t midnight the river had reached hirty-five feet and one inch, and was rising about an inch an hour. Thirty eight feet will completely cover the on; but river men say that the high est point has been reached. The water has -covered the upper portion of the city as far down as Campbell street. nupper Reynolds street the water has reached a depth of four to five feet, and any houses arenfooded. So far no serious accidents have hap pened, although many rumors can be heard on the streets. WVhat is feared ost is the breaking of the canal damn between here and the locks. All the railroads are flooded, and the Georgia train is the only train that can leave the depot. Other trains stop ouside of the city. All the merchants have moved their goods to high places, and should the water go thirty-eight feet. as in ISSS, very little stock will be damaged. Telegraphic information from up the river to the signal service says no rain has fallen since S p. mn., and that the river has done its worst. Business was nearly suspended all (ay, and the people are much excited. very indication points to the river going down by 1 o'clock. Florence Edwards narrowly escaped drowning to-night while going home in boat, which capsized. She was saved by J. A. Hanner,who rescued her. STILL RISING A UG UsTA, GA., March 10.-1.30) a. mi. -The river registers, at this hour, thirty-five feet and three inches, wiyth arise of an inch an hour. TlE WATEES SLOWLY RECEDI NG. AUGUSTA, Ga., March 10.-It was a lose shave ! At 4:30 a. mn., the water registered 35 feet 52 inches. A n hour later it was still thiere-no higher, no lower. Then it turned downward, reluctantly, at ):30 showing a fall of only 2A inches. t 6 p. mn. it registered 34 feet S inches. The inconvenience has been great, ut really very little damage has beeii one. Augusta had 3.5,000 bales of cot on, and though water entered two v-arehouses the damage all told is not ver one hundred dollars. The railroad tracks being about twvo eet under water near the union depot interfered with the movement of rains, but the water will fall rapidly Lo-nigt and schedules will be resumed Lo-morowv. The Charlotte, Columbia and Au ;usta and the South Cai-olina trains re making regular schedules, but as they can't reach the union depot they stop on Green street. The South Caro ia track is washed in Hamburig, and hat road uses the Charlotte, Columibia nd Augusta bridge. Trains ran to d from Atlanta and Savannah to la. The tracks near the union depot, :hough submerged, are not damaged, nd the fall to-night will clear them. At 11 p. m. the river- registered 34 eet 2 inches. The fall is slow but sure. 11i danger is now passedl. A san) AccmDENT. Henry C. Lamiar and Miss Con nelly vere dIrowned while boating in the anal two miles above this c-ity, this tftenon, by the capsizing of their )oat.

[Special to News and Curir.) Co.L I;;A, s. ('., 31arch 9.-There is iothing left of the storm to-day but loais In all the rivers for a hundred :iles around. The Congarce has riseu -apidly and is now, 5 p. im., about .wenty-one feet above the r:ver bed, lud is rising. The banks of the Canal :an stand a much greater height and aressure than this. It was ireported his morning that that section of the ,anal where free labor is employed was ;eriously threatened, but Mayor 3lc Aaster said this afternoon that no dis ster was to be expected. Two washouts are replorted, one ou :he Columbia and Greemvill' Railroad bout sixty-five miles above Clunbia, tnd the other on the Columbia, New aerrv and Laurens Railroad. The first :ril) of the new train fro:n Columbia, eaving here at c.2: a. mi., was therefore stpped at the washout. The breaks will, of conrse, be promptly repaired. Master of Transportation Williams, )f the Richmond and Danville Rail road, said to-night at 11 o'clock that in ill probability no trains would be run to-morrow on the Greenville road. There is a great flood at Dyson's, the track there being further blocked by a freight train stuck in the mud. Thie Charlotte, Columbia and Au ;usta train which left here this after aoon for Augusta is held up at Granite elite and will probably return here to ruorrow morning. A break in the Columbia and Green ville road is reported at Bookman's, twelve miles from Columbia. PROGRESS OF THE FLOOD. The Congaree at. 10 a. m. is 24 feet above low water mark and is still rising. It will have to rise a good deal more to reach the big tloids of loimer years, which were as follows: "August, 1840, :4 feet S, inches; tp tember, 1862, 34 feet 4 inches; February, 15, 34 feet; May, 1S85, al feet:.1 tne, 30 feet s. inches; Septermber, 1Sss, feet ti inches: 1 81, 33 feet." BRSTJNG OF THEE IAM AT GnAN\I. One of the notcworlhy incidents of the flood was the bursting of the dami at the Granby guarry at a quarter pa). 7 o'clock tihis morning. About fifty men were at work, but they saved themselves by p1romnpt flight up the sides of the quarry. To-night at 10 o'clock the river is flowing over the quarry wall and the buildings in til vicinity are submerged to a depth of two feet six inches. A CHECK DAM ON THE CANAL GOE. At 5.30 P. M. the cheek dam of the Canal, below 1road River bridge, broke and filled the Canal to the check dam at Cemetery Hill, reaching about live feet from the top of the latter dam. Capt Sligh, of the Penitentiary, who came from the Cpnai at 1u.:11 P. M., says that there will be no injury to the Canal. The part of the Canal darn where the free laborers are at work has been strengthened as far as was advis able the rate of rise, as calculated by Sergt Adams at the Penitentiary, is three andI three.ituarter inches per hour. Thbe calculations being from 3.80 P. M. until7 P. M. At the check damn, which broke this afternoon, Capt. S!igh had 100J conviets at work.

[Special to News and Courier.] lEAC7FORT, Miarch 7.-The news of the latest developments in the Coosaw ase were received here with little stir prise by those inteiested in the phos phate question. Copies of the inljunc ion were served on Mr. F. Brother hood, of the Caro)lina Mining Comipany, Phosphate Inspector Jones and Capt. May, of the dredge Delaware, by United States Deputy Marshal Reed to-daty. The dIredige Delawaie will withdraw from the Coosaw territory on Monday and so will the dredge Kennedy, thbe only two machines wvhich eniteredl the teritrv under the licenses obtained by these eoinplanies from the phosphate commission. They wilt coImmence work on Monday morning in the gene ral rights territory, and as the Sea Is land Chemical Company and the Oak Point Coimpany still have their dredges in operation the State will onily sull'r the loss of the royalty paid by the Coo saw Company. It is not known what the Coosaw Company intends doing. The piast week they have had all their operatives on the dredges, and the others emi ployed by the comrpanv (on their tug boats, etc, at th.eir poIsts of duty with their pay going on, but it. is hardly proaule that they will continue to do this. It is feared that at least seventy five mechanics and tug and dredge boat aptains will be out of wvork. This will result seriously to the business interests of this sectionl. M- L.. R. THlE CooThAw SITUATION. [Special to News and Courier.] COLU.MBIA, March 9.-One of the most startling and practical results of the Coosaw case is the retuhrn of ro::k mined for the last month made to the Comptroller General. The returin for February, 1s90, was about 25,000 tons. TIhe eturn for February, 1SOI, is about 9,000 tons. Whether this is or not the result of the present litigration is a mxell question of law and fact. Senator Smiythe wa called oin at the rand Central Hotel and was askedl if i.e Could clarify the present CILosaw ituation for the benefit of the Reporter and the public generally. Hie, however, aid that he could not be interviewed on that subjet, but talked very agree ably on some other matters. T Tra;;ic De"ath or Iheion O'N"an Town 74end1 to bel Ietrostigatedl.
