The Graded schools.
IThe first sessions of the Newberry
G raded Schools are proving a great suc
cess and none can be found now to say
augbt against the wisdom and econo
miy of their establishnment. The Her
aldi and News is gratitied at the success
o f the sebools and it is pleasaut for
this editor to recall the fact that as far
back as 1854 he advocated their estab
lishment in this newspaper, and that
he continued to advocate it, although
at first many looked upon it as an ex
travagant proposition and a luxury
that Newberiy did not need. Well
they are here and we are dlelighted at
their success. Up to this time 677 pupils
have been enrolled in all the depart
ments ;of these :13; are white children
and 31 1 are colored. What better evi
dence than this enrollment could b)e
dlesired to demnonstate the fact that the
est-iishmnent of these schools was a
lo1ng step forward for Newberry.
-The contract for the newv building

Trial .Justice l'etergon to the Governor.
The Herald and News is infornie
by a correspondent of a reniarkabl
speeeb made by a Newberry lawyer i
a case heard last Saturdayl by Trit
Justice Peterson, in which a whit
man was the defenda::t and a negr
the prosecutor, on the charge o
threateving to kill, and was being in
dicted to give bond to keep the peace
Mr. Frank lIynum represented th4
State and the lion. Cole L. Blease th
defendant. Mr.1lease miade a miotioi
to quash the indictment, and in tb
progress of his argument in support o
his motion must have been very muet
wrought up, as our correspondent in
forms us that among other things ha
said "if the Trial Justice did not d(
as he said he (Mr. Blease) would repor
him to the members of the House o
Representatives, and the Senator fron
Newberry County, and also to the Hon
13. R. Tilliman, Governor of SoutL
Carolina." The Trial Justice, we ar
informed, did not become much af
frighted, but this was a ratl remark
able utterance. Mr. Liev- , however
afterwards, we are toia made publi(
apology for this utterance. The cast
was continued and will probably b<
settled.
WHAT MR. PLEASE SAYS.
The Herald and News believes it
fair dealing, and in order to give Mr
Blease an opportunity to give his ver
sion of the matter, called upon him anc
asked if he had anything to say in re
regard to this speech. In reply to out
question Mr. Blease said: "After read.
ing my points and authorities on mo
tion to quash the indictmeut the Tria
Justice ruled contrary to law. I quotec
much the same law used by Mr. Wes.
ton in the case of the State v,Mr.
Gonzales before Mr. Muller in Coum
bia, the cases being similar. The Tria
Justice's decision was contrary to Mr
Muller's."
Mr. Blease says that after that deci
sion was made he said: "This is one
of the greatest pieces of injustice I have
ever seen perpetrated, and the unfit
ness which you have shown in this
case, shows you utterly unqualified foi
the position you hold, and you should
be reported to the Senator and Repre
sentatives of this county, in order that
they might report you to Gov. Tillman,
that this community might have a
Trial Justice not only qualified, but
who would do his duty and not show
the prejudice which you have snown
in this case."
Then, after the case was disposed of
for that day, Mr. Blease says he said:
"If the court please, I did not mean
to be disrespectful to this or any court.
When I referred to you being reported
I forgot at the time being of the posi
ion that I hold, and it would be im
possible for me, or any one else, to ex
press the way in which I appreciate
those friends who elected me to that
position, and no language could be
used to express how I thank them in
my own soul, and I would do nothing
that would be unbecoming in me as a
Representative of this county, and in
referring to you being reported, I didn't
think of myself being onelof these Rep
esentatives. Anything that I might
have said here which would be unbe
oming to me as a Representative I
apologize to this court for that, other
wise, what I said as attorney for Mr.
Boozer, I am personally responsible for
and ready to sustain at any time and
n any place."

Rev. A. M. Sale.
It is seldom we are called upon to
hronicle a sadder death than that of
this consecrated young Mfin ister, which
took place on Monday last im this city.
His death cast a gloom over our entire
ommunity. True he had only recent
y made his home in our city but short
a was his stay he had endeared him
self to all with whom he came in con
tact. Mr. Sale had several charges in
our County and was beloved by his
people. Mfany of whom came in tho' at
a great distance, to be p resent at his
ueral. He was a zealous, devoted
pastor and did all in his power to ad
vance the interests of the great work
n which he was engaged. He had
been suffering with a severe attack of
the prevailing epidemic and was at
one time decidedly better wvhen alas, a
fatal relapse took place. His_remains
were taken on Wednesday to N ew berry
for interment there to mingle with
kindred dust. Every respect was
shown his honored memory. All his
Brother Ministers joined in the funer
l procession to the depot. Mr. Sale
leaves a wife and three children. To
his stricken household we extend our
deepest sympathy.-Sumter Advance.

t The Jury (;iveP Verdict Against the Town.
An Appeal Taken.
TThe case against the Town Council by
e the liquor dealers for a repayment of an
excess of license, as they claim, men
I tioned in The Herald and News sone
e time ago came up before Justice May
) bin last Friday. George S. Mower, at
f tornev for the town council, interposed
- an oral demurrer to the complaint on
two grounds: That the court was with
out j urisdiction and the complaint did
not state facts suflicient to constitute a
i cause of action. The argument of this
occudied about four hours, but the trial
f justice decided he had jurisdiction and
I the complaint was all right, and at 5
- o'clock the case went to the jury. After
the plaintiffs closed their testimony the
the defendent made a motion for non
L suit, which was refused byJustice May
t bin. Defendant put up no testimony.
I After argument by counsel, the jury
. returned a verdict for plaintift. This
i verdict requires the town council to re
fund to barrooms $1l Weach, paid under
protest, excess license, as they claimed.
There are nine bar rooms, and this
verdict takes ;9( off the revenue of
the town from this source. The attorney
for town council gave notice of appeal.
The Herald and News gives below
the grou:ids of appeal as filed by the
attorney for the council which will
give an idea of the poipts upon which
the town rests its case and also the
points raised by the defendants.
1. Because the Trial Justiee erred in
deciding that he had jurisdiction tu try
this cause.
2. Because the Trial Justice erred in
overruling the dem urei of the defendant
to the complaint herein that the com
plaint did not state facts %ufficient to
constitute a cause of action.
3. Because the Trial Justice erred
in overruling defendant's motion for a
nonsuit.
4. Because the Trial Justice erred
in refusing to charge the jury as re
quested by the defendant that where
the charter of a municipal corporation
does not prescribe the method or man
ner of the exercise of a power it may be
exercised by ordinance, by resolution,
or by by-law, or by motion.
5. Because the Trial Justice erred In
refusing to charge thejury as requested
by the defendant that the Town Coun
cil of Newberry, if sitting in official
session on December, 31, 190 had the
right to fix the price for license issued
to the plaintifl's to retail spirituous
liquors for the year 1891 by a viva voce
vote.
6. Because the Trial Justice erred
in charging the jury that "if the town
council bad fixed the license at $410, by
ordinance duly ratified and published, i
they had no right to ignore that orii
nauce and increase the license tax, but
in order to increase the license tax t
they should have repealed or amended I
the said ordinance by another ordi- i
nance."
7. B. iue the Trial Justice erred
in charging thejury that "an oral re
solution of the town council adopted
by a viva voce vote and not reduced to
writing is not an ordinance, without
chargiog at the same time that such a
resolution so passed fixing the price of
the license to the plaintiffs to retail
spirituous liquors for 1891 had the same
force and eff'ect as a formal written
ordinance (under the power to regu
late the price of licenses given in the
charter of the town of Newberry.)
S. Because judgment should have
been rendered for the defendant.

The Newberry 01l Mill in a Prosperous
Condition-A Ginnery to lbe Put In. |]
-- I t
A iteeting of the directors of the
Newherry Cotton Seed Oil Mill and I
Fertilizer Company was held last Fri
day afternoon to hear the report of the f
secretary and treasurer and general
manager. The qeason is over and the
mill is shut down. It did not get start
ed until the first of January. and many
of those interested would have t>een sat
isfied if it had done no more than make i
expenses. But the showing made in a
the report of the general manager is ~
that it has done better than this, 9.nd
has made some money. It is a credit ~
to the business ability of the manage
ment. All parties were inexperienced
in the running of cotton seed mills,
and it is gratifying to know that they
have done so well. J. M. Johnstone is
president of the mill and L. WV. Floyd
general manager. Several of the di- 1
rectors are farmers. J.'mes Hipp, of Co- I
lumbia, who had had some experience ,t
in the business, had ch-nrge of the run
ning of the machinery in the day andi
WV. B. Aull at night. The company<
has disposed of abc it all the oil and;
sold nearly all the fertilizers and meal.
The directors are considering the ques-a
tion of putting in a gmnnery during the
summer, and a special meeting of the
stockholdeps will be held soon, very
prabably, to (decide the matter defi
nitely.

TELY PURE
U-ETTI' MAIL SERVICE.
I'otal oiciais ViMit Newl,ery and Devit
to Give VP4 Mail on the C. N. and L.
The Lauren?4 Mail Here to Stay.
The Herald and News last week ha
something to say about the need o
better mail service on the pasz_eng
trains passing Newberry.
Congre sman Jonnstone, as state(
has been in correspondence with th
authorities in Washington, and o
Tuesday,Second Assistant Postmastei
General J. Lowrie Bell, accompanie
by Superintendent of the Railway M%a
service, W. S. McGinnis, came to Ne,
berry to give the m.atter his person
attention. He had a conference wit]
Mr. Johnstone, and' was seen by Th
Herald and News. He is a very pleaw
ant gentleman, and talks well, ani
seems to be well posted in his work
and says he is very favorably impresse<
with the development and growth c
this section.
He has decided to put a railway pos
tal clerk on the C. N. & L. R. R., a
oon as the regular passenger train i
put on from Columbia to Clinton, bu
it present he does not propose to ex
'end it on the G. C. & N., beyond Clin
ton, because-he does not think that thi
business will warrant it. But ,s sooi
as trains are run on that road as far a
Athens, Ga., then he will, of course
?xtend the service on the G., C. & N.
road. M%r. Bell assured The Heralk
md News that the postal clerk now or
:he Laurens train between Columbi.
md Laurens would not be discontin
led. He says it is not the policy o
:he government to curtail any service
>ut always to increase it. He assurec
,oI. Johnstone that upon his return tc
ashington he would look into th
>ropriety of establishing a regular mai
ervice on the train on the C. & G.R. R.
iow run between Columbia and Green
ille, and if the appropriations would
warrant it he was inclined to look fa
orably upon this additional servic(
lso, but at present he could make nc
lefinite promise in regard to it. H(
isked Congressman Johnstone, how
ver, to forward him any information,
iving an idea of the business donE
long this road.
Mr. Bell has under his direction and
n his department the railway postal
ervice. The disposition, in fact th(
Lssurance, of Mr. Bell to give us bettei
nail service will be gratifying intelli

A bout Numbering Houses.
The following is from the Spartan
urg Herald of a recent date. Mr.
'rench should have remained in New.
erry a little longer and possibly he
vould not have lett "in disgust." Tfhis
s the first instance we have ever heard
f where a man left New berry "in dis.
ust." He was hardly here long
nough for our people to kno.w what he
vanted. They do not rush into every
hing that comes along but Newberry
~enerally gets there all the same:.
"Mr. A. E. French has closed his
vork of numbering the houses, and not
ity has handsomer numbers. They art
n ornament to any house. The system
mployed is known as the New Yor
ystem. The city is cut into four sec
ions by Main and Church streets, and
dil the~houses are numbered from thesi
treets. The distance allotted to eaci
rmber is twenty feet, allowing spaci
or houses to be filled in without dis
rranging the numbers. Another ad
antage of this arrangement is thal
when you know the number you know
he exact distance from Main or Church
ttreets, and can easily calculate the
istance to the Palmetto corner.
"Mr. Fronch has done the worn
;horoughly and it will prove to be:
reat convenience to our city as soon a
yur people become familiar with th
mmbers.
"31r. French is highly pleased witi
partanburg and its people. He says
is the most progressive town he ha
seen in the South, and he hopes to re
turn here next fall and make it hi
bome. He exp)ects to establish a nev
ad important industry and knows ni
place which suits him as wvell as on
ity. He says that one thing which hi
noted especially is that each mnini goe
ahead on his own responsibility with
out asking how "31r. so-anid so"' wi
dio. That is a true observation. Th
men of Spartanburg pull togetbe
but are in nobody's leadingstrings, an
that is the spirit to make a city prospe
rous.
"He says this is in marked contras
to our nei~gh bor, New berry, where h
went to number the houses. The Mayc
was in favor of it, and he went out t<
get the signers to the petition. N
appropriation was asked, only the er
dorseent and authority of the counc1
to do the work. But men who wer
perfectly able to decide so simple
juestion hesitated and said 'Wait till
see what Mr. M. will do.' He says thi
occurred nine times in succession. H1
quit the town in disgust."
