A great deal is being written and said now about a third party and par ties in general. There are some of the Alliance leaders who seem anxious to make out of the Alliance a third politi cal party, but so far as the South is con cerned this agitation is destined to fail ure. The plea put up is that if the lenands and needs of the farmers and laboring classes can't be obtained through either one of the old paties, then a third party is the necessary thing. There is no room in South Caro lina for a third party and in our pecu liar condition it would be suicidal for the white people to split and attempt a third party. For the farmers of the South to unite with the West in the formation of a third party will not work. The interests of tte two sections, agriculturally speaking, are not com mon. The principal crop of the one is cotton, while the staple crop of the other is the cereals, and each section is going to be actuated by that which will bene fit it most. Man is a selfish animal by nature and he is going to look after his own. One of the chief arguments of some of the leaders of the Alliance who are trying to form this great party is that the farmers of all sections are brothers with the same aims and that they must get together and make this great party. The State, in a recent editorial, puts this question strongly and truthfully when it says that "dissensions are inevitable among the members of the difl'erent sections. The Southern Allianceman who imagines that his Western brother sympathizes with him in his desire to hold cotton for a rise is badly posted on human nature.- The Western Alliance man who thinks that his Southern brother will help hini to 'corner' wheat is deceived. "Intelligent seltishness moves ien, parties and governments, and intelli gent selfishness is the bar to any lasting co-operation between necessarily an tagonistic influences. The farmers of the South will find that their storekeep ing and banking neighbors, mnuchi as they may be prejudiced against them, have necessarily their interests much more at beart than the Western farmers can have. The South consumes Western provi sions. The 'West consumes Southern cotton. Each seeks to raise the price of its own staple and lower the price of that of the other section. 'liere can be no community of interests in such matters and consequently no pulling together. Trhe rule is the same as to offices." THE COLUMBIIA CENTENNIAL. The Columbia centennial will be held in May 13th, 14th and 1th. Con siderable preparations are being made to make it a success, and at this time it will be delightful to visit Columbia. It is one of the prettiest cities in the South, and with its broad streets and beauti ful trees will be doubly attractive at this time. Several of the counties are going to have special exhibits in the way of arches, and will in other ways be great ly advertised on this occasion. So far as we have been informed, Newberry is making no arrangements far an arch, or an exhibit of any aind. The Herald and News would have been delighted if Newberry could or would have had ai county arch, but nobody seemns to be willing to work the matter up. It is not too late yet, however. Special railroad rates will be given i and Newberry will send as large a delegation of visitors as any county, but a special exhibit would have been a big advertisement for us.t Newberry will furnish her military company, however, to take part in the parade and two staff' officers-Col. C. J. Purcell of Gov. Tillman's staff and( 3Maj. L. W. C. Blalock of Gen. Rich-t bourg's staff'-will attend and take part in the parade, and no county will be< able to furnish two more handsome or I dashing young ofieers. ( The centennial is going to be a sue- 1 cess and if we cant Lave an arch, all of ( us will go down and admire the other county arches and have lots of fun. UNJUST AND UNCALLED FOR. "'When Attorney General Pope was pretending to make an argument be fore the Court the other day in the ('oosaw case on a purely legral question. he lowvered the dignitv of his ottice andC proved his utter untitness for it, by < making a political stump) speech and playing the role of the bully. It was a spectacle to make South C'arolinians ashamed, and wve are surprised that the court should have allowed it. When we think of the oflce that in other years was honored by Legare, 3McDutlie, Connor, Earle and others. now being occupied by such a smaall man as Y. J. Pope it makes us sick." The above is from a recent issue of the Sumter Advance, and is not a credit< to the author, to say the least. The Hecrald and News was not in sympathy with the Tilimain campaigrn of last sumnmer, andl did what it could to defeati the nomination of the ticket, but we tried to be fair. The above criticism ( is born of p)rejudice and would have.t been a thousand times better left un said, so far as accomplishing what the author evidently intended. It is unfair and unjust, and the people of South C,,arolina believe in both fairness and justi ce. No, if the Advance had been 11 inypthy )oltically speaking, with Glen. Pope, it wvould no doubt have found muchl in his speech to culogize and applaud. Gen. Popec is a good lawyer and is al ways courteous and respectful to. the court, and the fact stated by the Ad vance that the court allowed him to proceed and heard his argumient on this occasion is evidence that he did not overstep the bounds in this case. The attempted ridicule and severe illness of the Advance cannot wipe out this fact. The Herald and News believes in "'toting" fair, even wit a political oppo nent, or an enemy, and it has nothing to say derogatory to the eminent abili ty of Gen. Pope's predecessors in otlice, but feels constrained to say this much A i'i:;1 I)1:N IAl. TRIP. A.n interesting articeI is published on the first page of The Herald and News of this week from the new York Sun, des-r;ptive of the cars in which Presi dent Harrison and party are making their tour through the States. An es timate of the expense is also given. The Sun estimates that it will cost the President something like $4(1,000, sup posing that he is maintaining his dig nity and paying his fare. It will be a very pleasant trip, but a very expensive one. If he fails of re nominatior. by his party, or of re-elec tion in case of nomination, it will in deed be a dear trip. - But then this is a great country and is wortkr seeing, and the luxury and maguificence of the presidential train makes it very delightful. We have not heard anything from the Co-,saw case in a whole week. Judge Aldrich- has decided in favor of the State on the points raised before him, but Judge Simonton has not yet rendered his decision. In the meantime no rock is being dug from the depths of Coosaw and the State is getting no royalty. But "it is all right so long as it.is right," and we prssume we can only wait and see. The above is a little premature as will be seen from the following extract from the Columbia correspondence of the News and Courier of the 21st. Coosaw is still with us and is likely to remain for a season. Attorney General Pope accepted ser vice to-day of two notices in the Coo saw case. One notice seeks to compel the State to amend its complaint in the State Court at Beaufort on the first day of the next term so as to show "In what manner the relators B. R. Tilliman, Y. J. Pope, W. H. Ellerbe, George H. Walter and J. D. Montgomery exist as and compose the alleged board of phos phate commissioners, and under what authority they bring the present ac tion." The object of this notice is evi dently to make the relators confess that they are acting under the Act of 1s9() if that be really the fact. The other notice is that the defendants will call the attention of the State Court at Beaufort to the Coosaw's position that the case has been removed into the United States Court. Another postscript is necessary. The daily papers of yesterday announce the decision of Judge Simonton of the United States court and he decides that he has jurisdiction over Coosaw. As it now stands, the case is still two courts. ANOTHER CORESIONDENCE. Another correspondence between Secretary Noble and Governor Tiliman, in relation to a division of the money ippropriated by Congress to be used by colleges for agriculture and mechanic arts, is published this week. Governor Tillman points out the law .o Mr. Noble and shows him where he is endeavoring to strain his authority in wanting the appropriation divided between Clemson and Claflin accord ng to the proportion of white and egro population of school age. Gov. ilman is right in his position as The Eerald and News has before had occa sion to say. Secretary Noble does not seem to want to understand the mat :er. In withholding the money he is loing more injury to Clatlin than to ?Demson. All sensible people of all classes and >f all political creeds cannot fail to ap >rove Gov. Tillnman for his position in his case and the manner in which he aas conducted the correspondence. The Greenville Yews gets the third arty business down about right when t says: "The third party idea about sifts lown to this: it it is urged it wil split he Alliance and the Democratic party, oo. There are hundreds and thou ~ands of alliance men who have voted tud always will vote against any can lidate who will obey alliance orders ather than the action of the democrat c party." There are just lots of these kind of dliance men in Newberry, while there nay be a fewv who favor the third par There will be no spring term of the ~upremie Court. Associate Justice Mc Iowan, who has been sick for some ime is still unable to hold the court, nd there being but one member of the ourt left, does not make a quorum and ence there can be no court. The Iovernor has no power to fill either of he piaces. There will be no Supreme ourt now until the November term. The Herald and News hopes that rudge McGowvan may soon find in the est he is taking 'a speedy restoration o health and vigor, and that he may e yet spared to his State and his peo >1e many years. Judge Hudson has rendered his de ision in the Columbia Club case. He !eides that the club must pay a iense as barrooms, although in only urn ishes whiskey to its own members, ret they pay for what they use. The lecision is published in full elsewhere. The President is making his trip brough the States close to the fiiftieth tniversarv of the death of his grand hther. WVilliam Henry Harrison, Presi iet, died on the 4th of April, 1841. Ex-Senator John J. Ingalls, of Kan as, has turned his attention to farm g, and when asked to talk politics he tuswers by talking about potatoes. Joing to farmiing is one way of trying o court popularity with the farmers. We have received the first number >f the Temperance U'nion, a newvspaper o0 be printed at Harlin City, S. C., and levted to temperance. M. M. St urge s .s the editor. Glen. Wade HIamp)ton will deliver an ration before the Confederate Sur ivors Association at Augusta on next Monday. :7th inst., at 1:? m. This will be a big day for Augusta. and many old soldiers will turn out to hear once more the grand old chieftain and hero of two revolutions. Mr. J. Wilson Gibbes, who has been Columbia correspondent of the Char eston World for several years. has re signed, and will give his whole time to the Evening Record as city editor. Mr. Glibbes is a thorough newspaper man and a graceful and forcible writer, ad the Record should succeed under hi manatrement. THE REISTEn. The14 (lmbnia laily ister h:Is re' duced its subscribti~ n to .' a year, 1" cents a wek, or : ents a 4opy, and re quests the county press to extend this inforjnation in their own way. We take pleasure in making the announce ment, but at the same time think the Register has made a mistake, at least in its weekly price and in selling single copies at 3 cents. Our people are not accustomed to the use of pennies and most of those who buy single copies of a paper would as readily pay 5 cents as 3 cents; but this is none of our business, and we wish the Register success. I t has struggled long against difficulties and has worked faithfully for Columbia, and we would like now to see it enjoy some of the fruits of success amidst the upbuilding of Columbia. Col. .John W. I. Pope, who has been for a long time editor of the Columbia Register, has resigned. Col. Pope made a good editor and he will be missed from the editorial tripod of our cotemporary. Editor Wilson, of the Abbeville Press and Banner, two weeks ago published his subscription list. It makes a good showing in numbers and the prompt ness with which arrearages have been paid. Editor Wilsoi ought to be proud of his subscribers. THE DCTCH FORK. I have often been requested to write a history of the section of country known as the Dutch Fork. Such a request can refer only to an account of its set tlement by white people, a description of its boundaries, and a narrative of in cidents tending to portray the characters of leading individuals. All else is prop erly embraced in the history of the State of South Carolina. In comply ing with this request, I shall endeavor in the following sketches to arrange in some sort of order the most prominent events occurring in the Dutch Fork within my recollection, as far back as sixty years ago ; and beyond that time what I have gathered from legends coming down through many years pre ceding my early boyhood. When these sketches shall be completed, it is purposed to publish them :n the form of a bock, with the introduction here and there, among them, of my Dutch Fork stories printed many years ago, and beyond the remembrance of near ly every one now living. These stories are to be re-written and republished in the forth-coining volume to illustrate and recall the manners and customs of this community of people, so remarka ble for their sturdiness of bodily cons titution, honesty and untiring iudus try, fondness for humor, and simplici tv in their unaffected love for God and love for neigh bor. "The Easter Eggs," published last week, will indicate the character of these stories. Their titles are, "The Cob Pipe," -to illustrate the old-time log rollings and cardings ; "Polly Pomper nickel, or the The Wedding in MIollo hon,-to recall the merr:.-makings at weddings in days long gone by; "Eber hart Koselhanz, the WVizzard Gun smith (Buechsensmiied),"-a picture of the superstition that held sway over the people of the Dutch Fork, during the war of "de Intep'entency ;" "The Two Mtarksmen of Rluffs M1ountain;" -detailing the trials of Katreena of the rosemary breath ; "Old Nick,"-a sto ry delineating Dutch Fork magnanim ity; and p)erhaps "John Punterick," the man who never ate fewer than sev enteen aple dumplings at one meal, unless the apples of which the dump lings were made (one apple to a dump ling) happened to be very large. Next week will appear the first mem ber of the Historical Sketches. 0. B. 3MAYER, SR. Can't Newberry Have an Arch ? To the Editor of The Herald and News: Can't the County of Newberry get up $i10 or $200) for the purpose of building an arch in Columbia for the centennial celebration ? I have no doubt at all but there is just as much pride in Newnerry County as any other county in the State, and I am sure Newberry has the beauty, grace and elegance in her young men and maidens to design a lovely arch. We will never have this opportunity again, for there will be quite a change while the next one hundred years roll by. Let Newvberry, Prosperity, Silver Street, Chappells and Jalapa, and all the people come up with their sub scrintions for the arch. I know that the p>eople of New berry w ho ill attend the centennial will regret very much if we don't have an arch that New berry failed to make a display. Why can't Col. Purcell and 3Maj. Blalock b'egin the work for an arch? Each one of these fine looking otlicers would feel a great dleal better to see an arch at the centennial. J. B. C. Jalapa, S. C., A pril 21, 1801. A CELEBRATED)CASE. Mrs. Gaines' Suit Against the City ot New Orleans Finalvy Settled. NEw YoRK, April 1S.-Adviees from New Orleans announce the settlement at last of the suit of MIrs.

Governior Tilhinain sits in the executive mansion and fishes for shad in the RegIster otlice with telephone lines, the phosphate conunjission goes down into the deeps of Coosaw and dredges for suckers and the comptroller general sits on the banks and drops lines to the atuditors and ea ualization boards. WOKE UP TUE WIONG MAN. (oternor Tiln: 1 Ior- li:un a 3ate"h for Secretary Noble e n the crhoo I . 1,pr.priation : eo n . The St:tte, ]Sthl.1 When (iovernor Tillmlan wrote his last letter to Secretary of the Interior Noble, refusing to accept the national appropriation for South Carolina's schools except on the basis of an equal division of the money between the races, as adopted by the State Legisla ture and referring the matter to ('on gress, it was thought that it was at an end for the present. But now the cor respondence is reopened and the Gov ernor quotes the law and becomes ar gumentative. Yesterday he received the following letter from Secretary Noble: "WsiSINGToN, April 13, 1891. "'Honi. I.,. Rt. Tillmuan, Goveruor, Co lunbia, S. C. "DEAR SIR: I am anxious to dispose of the funds to which your State is en titled inder the act of Congress of Au gust :;0, 1591), respecting colleges of ag riculture and mechanical arts. "I do not consider the action of your Legislature as controlling any otlicial action or judgment in relation to this fund. As a recommendation it has the highest consideration and has had all due deference, but it is for the Secretary of the Interior to determine these ques tions. "I cannot consent to divide the funds evenly, as recommended by the Legis lature, between the colleges for the two races, where the percentage of school age for the whites is 39.82 per cent. and (.18 per cent. for the colored. "If you are willing to receive my con struction of the law and my decision, I shall be very glad to send you $15,000 now, and $1o,o0o more for the second payment as soon as satisfactory report is received as to the disbursement of the first installment. Yours most re spectfully, ".JoJ[ 'W. NonLI:, Secretary." Governor Tillman last evening pre pared and forwarded the following re ply, which enters into an argument on the matter: "CoLUmIA, S. C., April 17. "Hon. John W. Noble, Secretary of In terior, Washington, I). C. "DEAR SIn: Your letter of April 13th, in reference to the disposition of the money appropriated by act of CoI gress, August :9th, 1890, 'for the benefit of colleges of agriculture and the me chanic arts,' has been received. I had supposed that correspondence on the subject was at an end, because Section : of the act provides 'The grants of monies authorized by this act are made subject to the Legislative assent of the several States and Territories to the purpose of said grants.' Further in Section 1 the language is: 'The Legis lature of such States may propose and report to the Secretary of the Interior a justand equitable division of the fund to be received under this act.' It is clear; therefore, that this matter must be determined by our Legislature and not by me as Governor, and to my mind it is equally clear that you will be straining the power given you under Section 4 if you continue to claim that an equal division is not an 'equitable' one as far as this State is concerned. "We have complied with all the con ditions imposed in Section 1, where it is expressly stated 'That no nioney shall be paid out utnder that act to any State or Territory for the support and main tenance of a college where a distinction of race or color is miade in the admis sion of students, but the establishment and maintenance of such colleges sepa rately for white and colored students shall be held to a compliance with the provisions of this act, if the funds re ceived in such State or Territory be equally divided as hereinafter set forth.' South Carolina has given one-half of the proceeds of the Land Scrip fund to Claflin College. There is a special an nual appropriation of $5,000 from the State Treasury to that school. We now propose to give it one-half of this fund, and consider that it is 'equal,' 'equitable' and 'just' so to do, and I hope that after studying the act rnore closely you will agree with me. 1 am very respectfully, your obedient ser vant: "B. RI. TILMAN, "Governor South Carolina." Changes in Peniteatiary Guards. The State. Corporals .Joel Ben bowv, of Clarendon, and A. C. Alexander, of Spartanburg, were yesterday given their walking pa pers as memibers of the Penitentiary guard, which positions they have held for ten years. Mr. Benbow was in-4 formed that he had the alternative of being reduced to ranks or leaving. As Mr. Ben bow had heard that Superin tendent Tfalbert had stated to one of the guards that he would "rather pull a hell cord over a mule than be a penit entiary guard," he naturally concluded that the idea was to get rid of him. T'hese gentlemen state that no fault had been found with their service; but that thers could be found who would suit aptain Ta!lbert better. Privates W. CJ. Dye, of Kershaw, and C. T. Hamer, of Marlboro, learned that they wvould be dismissed, so they ten ered their resignations to the supierin enident. M1r. Dye states that when lie esigned Captain Talbert's remark wvas: that's all right. I am glad of it. I had o make a change aniyway." Mlr. Dye ays also that the bell-cord remark wa made to him.
