TIE POLL LISTS.
The Heorall and -News omi,let( this
week the publication of the poll lists of
the several townships. Tie polls of
No. 1 Township were published last
because before we began the publica
tion this list had already been furnished
the trustees, and it shows those who re
turned this year and those who were
on the books last year, but (lid not re
turn this year, and also a list of.uames
who are liable to pay a poll tax and
whose names are not on the books at
all. The object of getting up this list
and of publishing it is to find out if
there are any persons who are liable to
pay a poll tax and who have made no
return. The school trustees of the
various townships are charged with
the duty of examining the several lists
and reporting to the Auditor any such
names that may come within their
knowledge or observation.
The following table will show the
total polls as on the books last year and
the totals this year, with the gains or
losses, and the total gains:

fewer polls than last year.
THE DUTCH FORK.
As announced last week by Dr. 0.
B. Mayor, Sr., The Herald and News
publishes this week the first sketch of
Dutch Fork. These sketches will be
found to be very i:lteresting, and in
structive and, as a e,ntribution to the
history of this seeti.>n of which he
writes, of incaleu!able value. Dr.Mayer
is eminently fitted to write of Dutch
Fork and takes great pleasure in doing
it. Every citizen of Newberry County
should feel enough interest in his coun
ty to have a pride in its history. These
sketches for the present will be pub
lishod exclusively in The Herald and
News, and if yon are not a subscriber
you should become one at once and
stop borrowing your neighbor's paper.
IND)USTRtIAL COLLEGE FOR~ WOMEN.
The Herald and News some time ago
spoke of the industrial college for
women, to be established at some point
in South Carolina, and called at
tention to the circular issued by the
commission appointed by Gov. Till
man to make investigation and report
to the Legislature. In this circular, if
we remember correctly, propositions
from towns and cities desiring this
school were invited. We 'suggested
that Newberry put in a bid, bu: so far
as we have heard that suggestion fell
flat without even a comment.
Well, it will be quite an addition to
any town to secure this school, and to
obtain it is worth making an efrort,
and even more, it is wvorth paying
sonme money, and so far as we can
see, Newberry has as many natural
advantages as any other town. We
are centrally located, good climate,
healthy, with good railroad facilities,
and there is no reason why we should
not have the school, ex':ept our inert
ness and inactivity and the unwilling
ness of those who have the means to
contribute something to obtain it.
Newvberry gave about $1->,00" to
secure Newberry College and nobody
can be found who regrets it or who
wvill gainsay the wisdom of the invest
ment. It was a good investment and
has paid the town wvell. Why would
not an investment to obtain this in
dustrial college for women pay equally
as well?
The Keowee Courier has been en
larged and otherni ise improved. It is
nearly a half century old, and we are
glad to note these evidences of pros.
perity with its advancing years, and
hope it may continue to thrive and
prosper as it deserves.

Wade Iaipton and the survivors of
his old brigade after a separation of
twenty-six years. The First North
Carolina, the South Carolina cavalry,
the Philips Georgia Legion, the I)avis
I 'e-ion and Cobb Legion composed the
t,rigade. Survivors from each regi
iient participated in the re-union, and
rmeniorial services were held and ad
dresses were delivered by Generals
Hampton. Wheeler, Butler, Young
and Capers, "-ijor Parker and Major
Butler, comiandant of the United
States arsenal.
The mriemorial address was delivered
lv Pleasant A. Stovall, editor of the
Augusta Chronicle. A conspicuous pic
ture in the line of march was a drum
corps composed of survivors of the
brigade. Business was suspended and
the day was observed as a holiday.
AUGUSTA, Ga., April 27.-Augusta's
greeting to Hampton to-day was warni
enough to gratify every patriot heart
in Carolina and to still further pillory
those who outraged history and dis
honored South Carolina last Decent
ber.
The annual exercises of the the Sur
vivors association of Augusta were
held in Masonic hall at 10 o'clock this
morning.
Col. C. C. Jones delivered a chaste
and beautiful address, paying a splen
did tribute to Hampton.
Among those present were M. C.
Butler, Johnson Hagood, John Brat
ton, General Joe Wheeler, General
Miller, of Florida, Colonel Andrews of
North Carolina.
The battle flags of Cobb's Legion and
Hart's Battery were on the stage.
Rich and poor, broadcloth and but
ternut jeans, mingled together and
climbed over each other in theiranxiety
to greet once more their old com
mander.
At 12 o'clock Hampton was intro
duced to the vast throng at Exposition
hall and spoke eloquently and feeling
to his old brigade.
Tears coursed down rugged cheeks,
while the old building rang with such
cheers as were never heard here before.
General Butler spoke next. He said
that men had said the Confederate
soldier should be relegated to the back
ground.
He hoped never to see the day when
or heroic dead and our surviving vet
erans should be dishonored and dis
graced.
Gen. P. M. B. Young said that is
Hampton had been in Georgia he would
never have been turned out of the
Senate.
He said if the voice of the people of
South Carolina had been expressed at
the ballot box last fall Hampton would
have been elected.
He spoke feelingly for he said Hamp
ton belonged not to South Carolina
alone, but to the whole South.
Hampton Home Again.
[Special to News and Courier.1
CoxMBIA, S. C., April 23.-Gen.
Wade Hampton arrived here from
MIississipp)i to-night, accompanied by
Mliss Hampton, and is at Wright's
Hotel.
Gen. Hampton was called on by this
correspondent and was asked if he
cared to say anything for piublication
on a choice of a great many subjects
with wvhich he is thoroughly familiar.
He said no; that he had nothing just
now of special interest except that it
gave him a great deal of pleasure to be
back again in South Carolina, and
especially with the near prospects of
visiting his friends and the Survivors
over in Augusta.
Gen.- H ampton also spoke with pleas
ant anticipation of the coming Centen
nial. He has not yet begun to prepare
his Centennial oration. He wvill go
over to Millwood to-morrowv and wvill
probably be in Augusta early on Mon
day miorning.
G3en. Hampton was asked is he had
seen the report of a talk had wvith him
by Editor Fortune, wvhich has been
very widely copied. He said that lhe
ad seen it and that it was correct ex
cept in one particular. "I refer," he
said, "to the passage in which the inter
viewer makes me say that I am in fa
vor of free coinage of silver. On the
contrary I am opposed to it. I so
stated mny position at the time. What
I (id say~was that I, as did many other
Demiocrats, voted for it to secure sutli
cient opposition to kill the force bill,
which policy wvas successful."
Speaking of the free coinage of silver
and the sub-treasury matter Gen.
Hampton said that in his opinion they
would both either disappear before the
next Presidential campaign or would
not retain sufficient force in the popu
lar nmind to be important factors in the
determination of who should or should
iot be President.
Gen. Hampton also discussed very
clearly the relative chances of the men
who wvere now prominently mentioned
for the Presideney, and also touched
on political matters nearer home, on
which, although treated very signifi
cantly and interestingly, lhe said lhe
would prefer not to be qjuotedl for the
present. Gen. Hampton is looking ex
ceedingly well.

Senator Irby on the Situation.
L.pecial to the Register.]
CH RLusToN. S. C., April 27.-ThE
publication to-day of an interview with
Chairman Irby, of the State Demo
cratic Executive Comruittee, in which
Mr. Iroy gives otticial recognition o1
the Executive Committee of the 11jumi
iipal D)encratic party, acted like a
bombshell in the ranks of the Reform
ers. Chairrian Irbv's official utter
aices have caused a change in the po
litical situation here. 1)eiioerats of
both wings of the party are utterly at
sea, anld not man can tell what the lar
vest will be. The situation is perplex
ing. The Municipal Democratic Ex
ecutive Coniittee, whose otlicial ex
istence Chairman Irby recognizes, ha
called a convention of the Denioeracy
of Charleston to meet on the 30th in.
stant. Under this call the Demoeratic
books of registration was opened to
day for revision. The registration wa.
much larger than usual. The Ref,rm
party have cailed a convention to meel
on May 4th and have advised their ad
herents not to take part in the conyen
tion on April 30th. Both sides clain
to have a majority of the registerec
vote of the city. It is understood that
the riugsters, who have Denocrat i
clubs organized in most of the wards
will take part in the May Conventiot
by sending delegates. The probability
is that there will be a big family row.
It is rumiored to-night that State
Senator Buist will issue a call for >

of the party in Charleston, the object oi
the meeting being to heal the breache.

the eflect that a number of new can

brought into the field. One of the iosi
significant rumors states that a wel

PUICE OF PHOSPHATES GOING UP.
The Coosaw Litigation Makes:Rock Scarce
An Advance of Fifty Cents a Ton
[News and Courier, _6th.]
The announcement that the Phos
phate Exchange had determined to
raise the price of rock fifty cents a tor
caused a good deal of interest amont
persons who are not on the grounc
floor, so to speak.
As a matter of fact, however, the
price of the rock was raised some tim
ago, being forced up by the conditiot
of the market, owing to the legal con
plcations in the Coosaw case. The de
miand has been very large recently
and the mines have not been able tc
supply it. For the past three weeks of
a month crude rock has been sold, de
livered on board, at $7 a ton, and ho:
air dried rock at $8. The former prici
of this rock was i;.50 and S7.5i) respect
ively, and the advance authorized b3
the Exchange is only to the figure:
which has prevailed in the market foi
some time past.
The Coosaw litigation has naturall)
had something to do with this rise, al
though it would in all probability hav(
come even if the Coosaw territory hac
remained open. There i6 no spot roel;
to speak of in the market now, and it
is highly p)robab)le that a further ad
vance in the price of the commodity
will have tto be noted in the near fu
ture.
CHARGES AGAINST DR,. MACUNE.
Is the Sub-Treasury Scheme .Being Pus~hed
in the Interest of Monopoly'?
The Des Moines Homestead, of thf
10th inst. quotes applrovingly ebarges
made by President U. S. Hall, of the
Missouri State Alliance, to the effect
that Dr. C. W. Mlacune, the Chairmrar
of the National Legislative and Nation
al Executive Committees of the Far
mers' Alliance and Industrial Union.
and editor of The National Econo
mist, holds an annual free railroad
pass issued to him by the Richmond
Terminal Rail road (Jay Gould's road),
that although professedly a poor mar
and in debt for his home, he paid S:.,50C
in cash for an interest in "The South
ern Alliance Farmer," of Atlanta, Ga.,
and used that paper and his own per.
sonal influence to defeat a bill before
the Georgia Legislature prohibiting
the combination of comnpeting railroads
and to support for the United States
Senate from Georgia "Pat." Calhoun,
the general attorney of the Gould rail
road system of the South, and that
after Calhoun's defeat Dr. Macuine bor
rowed $2,u400 from him and gave him as
security for the "loan" warrants on the
National Treasurer of the Alliance.
The Hon2 estead says that corporate
interests have been served in the most
effective manner by the unceasing
efforts of D)r. Mlacunie and other leaders
to concentrate every reform movement
on the Stub-treasury question, and eon
eludes that D)r. Mactine will hereafter
use his official positions to divert the
influence of the Alliance from its ac
customed anti-mionopoly channels.
The Third Party Hambua.
ST. Louis, A pril 29.-U. S. Hall,presi
dent of the MIissouri Farmers' Alliance,
is, according to a published interview,
utterly opposed to the Third Party Con
vention, which is to be in Cincinnati
on MIe: 19. Speaking as an individual
and for the Alliance of 3Missouri he
said:
"I1 am not in favor of the scheme,
and I miost emphatically declined to
issue a call for the Allliance of Mlissou
ri to send delegates to that Convention.
The project is too big and it will fall to
pieces of its own weight."

China Don't Want Blair.
WAsmriNo-roN, April 28.-The State
Department announced tc-night that
the Chinese Government has notified
this govern ment of its unwillingness to
receive Ex-Senator Henry W. Blair as
our minister to China.
It is well uncderstood here that the
objection to Blair is based upon his
utterances concerning the Chinese
question and that the republication of
extracts from his speeches produced a
dleep impressions upon the minds of
prominent Chinese officials. Tb is
finally resulted in the notification
received by the department of State
this evening. The objection of the
Chinese Government to Blair caused
no excitement here, as this Govern
ment recognizes the right of a foreign
Power to express its unwillingness to
receive a minister who is not entirely
exceptable.

crats, the colored men Republicans. I
am afarmier, and I was elected as such
over another Denimorat who was a law
yer, and so not eligible to membership.
But I shall vote as a Democrat. I do
not endorse all the principles of the
Ocala platform.
"Senator Irby of South Carolina is
a mernber of the Alliance, but he will
vote with the Democrats. He wouldn't
vote for his brother for anything if he
were not a Denocrat. This rule will
hold all through South Carolina, and,
I believe in Georgia and elsewhiere i
the South. The Alliance will not break
from the two great parties. It will
grow and be of great advantage to its
members. As between two candidates
in the sam,e p arty, one an Allianceman
and the other not, it would support its
own man probably but that is the ex
tent to which it will go into politics.
Its menbers are Democrats from neces
sitv. The Kansas Alliance is a differ
ent thimr from the Southern Alliance,
I think.''
The Awful FAte of a Little Boy in Atlanta
ATLANTA, GA., April 27.-The three
year-old son of William Bennett, a
prominent citizen, met a horrible death,
being burned to a crisp before his no
tier's eyes. Mrs. Bennett was sitting
on the front verandah, her little boy
trotting around on the verandah and
about the house. In his play the child
got hold of a box of matches, and,
lighting one, deliberately set fire to his
clothing. As it blazed he cried out in
childish glee, but a minute later, scared
by t[li hlaz, he ran screaming toward
his mother. When he reached her lie
was entirely enveloped in flames.
Quickly as possible ci,"se were extin
guished. but too late to save the boy's
life. His flesh was baked, and he died
in a few hours.
Rusrian Brutality.
LoNDON, April 28.-Among the
Jews who recently emigrated by way
of Russia, is Isaac Rosebalt, whose case
has aroused considerable attention. He
bears on his leg an iron, over which
the skinl has partly grown, and which
was fastened on himi five years ago in
a Russian prison at Kieft, from which
Rosebalt attempted to escape after be
ing arrested on a charge of proselyting
for Judaism. It is feared that the re
moval of the iron now might have a
serious result.

Death Cau-dl lby a Cattislh.
[SpIartanburg, Herald 25th.]
A few days ago Mr. Smith, foreman
of the weaving room of Clifton Facto
ry, was stung on the thumb by the
fins of a catfish. Next day he went
about his work as usual and beyond
the little pain which usualiy accompa
nies the sting of this fish, no inconve
nience was felt. Next day, however,
the finger began to swell and the pain
increased. Very soon the wound began
to be dangerous and mortification set
in. yesterday he sent to this city for
several physicians. who went down to
amputate the man's arm. They found
it impracticable, as the mortification
covered the entire length of the arm,
and reached even the man's body. The
doctors left the m1an in a (lying condi
tion, with no earthly chance of reco
very, and hi has since died.
