The Herali anid News copfletes this week the publication of the poil lists of the several townships. The polls of No. 1 Township were published last because before we begazn 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 did not re turn this year, and also a list of names who are ';able to pay a poll tax and whose n:n 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: Township.

THE DUTC11 FORK. A. 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:iteresting, and in structive and, as a c iz ribution to the history of this secti,n of which he writes, of incalculabl: value. Dr.Mayer is eminently fitted to write of Dutch Fork and takes great plasure in doing it. Every citizen of Newberrv County should feel enough interest in his coun tv to have a rl)ide in its history. These sketches for the present will be pub lishod exclusively in The Herald and News, and if you are not a se bscriber you should become one at once and stop borrowing your neighbor's paper. INDUSTRLIAL 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 ea:led at tention to the circular issued by the commission appointed by Gckv. Till man to make investigation and report to the Legislature. In this circular, if wye remember correctly, p)roposi tions from towns and cities desiring this school were invited. We suggested that Newberry put in a bid, but so far as we have heard that suggestion fell flat without even a comment. Well, it will be quite an addition to any towvn to secure this school, and to obtain it is worth making an effort, and even more, it is worth paying some 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. Newberry gave about S15,OO00 to secure Newberry College and nobody can be found who re'grets it or who will gainsay the wisdom of thre invest nment. It was a goodI investruent and has paidl the town well. Why would not an investment to obtain this in dustrial college for women pay equnaliy as well? The Keowvee Courier has been en larged and otherwise improved. It is nearly a half century old, and we are glad to note these evidences of pIros perity with its advancing years, and hope it may continue to thrive arid p)rosp)er as it deserves. The surb-treasury hogpen with a pig tail currency is,the latest move in Tenrnessee. Rteadl a discription of the unique plan publishied on first page this week.

At 12 o'clock Hampton was intro duced to the vast throng at Exposi'ion ball and spoke eloquently and fee-ing 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.

H{ampton was called on by this corresnondent and was asked if hje cared to say anything for prublication on a choice of a great many subjects with wvhich he is thoroughly familiar.

He wvill go over to MIillwood to-morrow anid will probably be in AugustaL early on Mion day morning. Glen. Hampton wva, asked is he had seen the report of a talk had with himi by Editor Fortune, which has been i v'ery widely copied. He said that he had seen it and that it was correct ex- C ept in one particular. "1 refer," he said, "to the-passage in wvhich the inter- ~ viewver makes me say that I am in fat- ~ vor of free coinage of silver. On thet contrary I am opp)osed to it. I so stated my position at the time. What [ did say was that I, as did many other t Democrats, voted for it to secure suffi ient opposition to kill the force bill, a which policy wvas successful." r Speaking of the free coinage of silver i aod the sub-treasury matter Glen. HIampton said that in his opinion they . vould both either disappear before the ' next Presidential campaign or wvould e not retain sufficient force in the popu- e ar mind to be important factors in the t' etermination of who should or should 0 not be President. C G;en. Hampton also discuissed very 9 learly the relative chances of the men who wvere now pronminrently mentioned C for thre Presidency, and also totiched on political matters nearer home, on vhich, although treated v-ery signifi antly and interestingly, he said he ould prefer not to be qjuotedl for tire d resent.
