ELBERT 11. AULL, EDITOR. la ELBERT IL AULL, Porer W. I P. -HOUSE-AL, -c3 NEWBERRY. S. C. G fc - - I THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1891. tt THE ASYLU3 3IANAGEMENT. 1 The State Lunatic Asylum matter tE has reae'bed a culmination and on Tues- n day a lengthy correspondence waspub lished between Governor Tillman and Dr. P. E. Griffin, the superintendent. t The charges against the management p as made public, and the reply of the c Regents, were published in The Herald and News. Now Governor Tillman asks for the resignation of Dr. Griffin. ./ The Herald and News does not know much of the merits of the case. There a may be mismanagement of the affairs of the asylum, but it does not seem to us that the Governor and his commit c tee have been fair in their treatment of this matter, either to the Regents or Dr. Griffin. A committee was ap- t pointed by the Legislature to investi gate this asylum matter. They met and took evidence in secret from em ployees of the asylum without permit ting Dr. Griffin or the Regents to be present at the investigation to hear the evidence against them and to meet the witnesses' face to face, and not only s that, but as we understand it, they were not heard by this special commit tee at all. True Gov. Tillman says in one of his letters that the investigation by the committee was of the institu tion and not the superintendent. It is also true that the Governor now offers Dr. Griffin the opportunity to submit affidavits and evidence in r' 'ttal, but it seems to The Herald and ::ews that I e should have had the privilege to 1 he witnesses face to face an r have' ad his n... ne full no committee. ab Every man is eutitfed to and should foi have justice. In this case we do not G< believe -it has been accorded the a, ylum M management. se ti( The organization of aState Survivor's n Association in Columbia last week is a fr move in the right direction. Such a ac move ought to have been made long in ago. The attendance at the meeting last P s week was very good, and the interest manifested was encouraging. As we understand, it is not to be a political C organization in any sense, but its ob ject is to secure a complete enrollnent of all the survivors in the State, and to preserve and perpetuate a correct and se true history of the part performed by the brave men of the South in the struggle for what they conceived to be a right. The idea is to get a county associa tion organized in every county, andI The Herald and News would be glad to see the survivors in Newberry County take hold of this matter at once and perfect a county organization and co-operate with the State orgamiza- ~ tion. Those who took part in the late war are fast passing away, and they should be glad of the privilege of form ing this association, and The Herald and News stands ready and willing to I aid and co-operate in working up the organization, and will gladly help in any manner in its power. Let some of the survivors take hold of this matter and work it up without b further delay-. President Harrison has completed his trip over the continent and is back ine Washington. Trip or no trip he is now serving his last term as President of thet ti United States. The Columbia Record comes to us in a a new dress and is very bright and at- si tractive. The Record is one of the best tl afternoon dailies in the South, bright and newsy and fully abreast of the times, and The Herald and Newvs con gratulates it on this evidence of inter prise displayed by the management.a The company that now controls it ist composed of enterprising and progres *sive young men who deserve well. They are live newspaper men and The Herald and News wishes them miuch success. There is a good deal of talk about the circulating medium not being enough for the transaction of business. It is very scarce around this office we admit, but the question we want tod know is how it would get in circulation,d if there was more coined or more green backs stamped. How would the peo pe get it and how would they be bene- s fitted unless they <;ot it. That is the st point we would like to see elucidated. During our stay in Columbia last 4 week wve had occasion to visit the clos-n ing exercises, or rather the anniversary exercises of the Winthrop Training S3hool. To say that we were pleased and delighted would but mildly ex- l This school is doing an excellent work and should receive the hearty support of the State. The young ladies evidenced in the ' parts performed by them in these clos- h ing exercises careful and thorough tC training, and we are satisfled the school fr is doing a good work for the State. ti The Western Union telegraph comi pany is now at work building a com mercial wire from Colunmbia to Ander- tlj son. gl We hope when this is completed that fo Col. Catheart will remember that up- h: town office that Newberry needs and that he is to put up for us. It is getting about time to hear some- in thing of that union depot. That is the m opinion of The Herald and News and in various citizens. d What do the railroads think of it? as It is time now to hear from them. di et The water works and electric lights h< question is not yet dead, but only rest- ti< ing. It is getting time to talk about it These are two of the things needed a~ iinewberry and they are bound to by ome. Let the .Mtres be kept alive.E DO LIGHTS OF THE COLTMTBIA CEN NIAL. The Celebration at the State capital st week commemorated the first eeting of the Geteral Assembly in lum1)bia in the year 1791. That was st one hundred and ten years after cer in other minor events transpired at ranby, which was the site first chosen r wh.t is now the city of Columbia. leave the daily newspapers to tell of ie celebration in detail and with a agnientary sketch here Qnd there, devote most of my time :. some cen nnial side lights at an historic house ear the old village cf Granby. On the first day of the Columbia Cen nnial, Wednesday the 13th, the civic rocession occurred. Two hundred onfederate veterans occupied the lace of honor. Gen. Wade Hampton delivered the ration of the day. It was historically iterest ng, and he spoke in cle - tones ad eloquent manner. When he arose > egiu his speech the enthusiasm of 2e crowd burst forth in tremendous beers for the hero of '76. The place Gen. Hampton holds in ae hearts of the people is wonderful. heir affection for him is as strong to ay as when they followed where he ad in days of victory. "My political career is ended, my ,ublic work is finished" were the clos ag words of his address. They are ignificant. No man of our day retires vith such peerless fame. The city was thronged later in the Lay wit a the arrival and movementb f the various military companies. From the appearan 1e weather >n Thursd rning it seemed that he ,~S''s soldiers must endure the Eships of parading through the .n. But the clouds broke away at on, and the parade was delayed out an hour. The parade was 'med at the State House, and with vernor Tillman and staff moved up ain stre!t to the inspiring strains of en bands of music and the admira m of thousands of people on balco es, at w ndows and lining the street )m one end to the other. The par e was the grandest ir. the history of e State. There were about 1,700 men line, representing thirty-six com nies. The Fourth brigade came first. It is composed, with one exception, of iarleston troops. The old city al ays responds nobly. The German isiliers was the handsome company the parade, and they had a good cond in the German Artillery of the me city. They looked like veterans id marched with remarkable precis Col. ChLs. J. Purcell, of Newberry, a handsome uniform, and mounted 1 a spirited charger, rode with the overnor as a member of his staff. The Third brigade was second in the ae. The Hornets' Nest Rifles of barotte, N. C., and the cadets of the atrick Military Institute, cf Ander in, deserve special mention for the ae they bore and their splendid ap rarance. Newberry was represented by Mfajor . . C. B3lalock, on the staff of Gen. ichbourg, commanding the Second ~igade. Three Columbia companies le Gover:aor's Guards, the Richland olunteers and the Zouaves-were the Lost admired in this brigade.. The ten >mpan ies comprising this regiment iraded together to:day for the first me since 18(35. The military spirit was aroused in any veterans who thronged from the dewaks. They were carried back to ie days when the booming of cannon as the music that inspired. The Governor was warmly cheered in ssing under the Edgefield arch, and the Fair grounds the Lafayette Ar lery took off their hats and shouted aree cheers for Governor Tillmar', hich was joined in by civilians too. The Governor was dressed in a suit plain black, Prince Albert style, and was quite a while before I discovered mething unusual in his appearance. e had shaved off his mustache! The description of the parade in Fri ay's News and Courier is one of the nest pieces of writing I have ever ad. It is refreshing to get hold of mething out of the usual stereotyped yie of cold details. It must have en written under the inspiration of barleston's eagle, which soared aloft her arch that was left untar shed by the advertising feature. e do utilize the "occasion" too much metimes. The Centennial was in nded to celebrate the past, with a yal hope for a propitious future-but t too much in the utilitarian ideal. Turning aside from this crowning ent of the Centennial celebration, I ake a visit to the old historic "Cayce use," which stands OIL the Lexing n side of the Congaree, due Wvest m- the State House. A drive of ree miles from Columbia will bring u at its hospitable door, where a nerous welcome awaits every corner. made the trip in anL open sulky rough the misty rain. A bright fire owed in the large fire-place wvhere, a century anda half, genial warmth is been spread. To a lover of relics of the American evolution the Cayce house is most teresting. Its construction is ad irable. Wrought-iron nails were used all the wvork. The sills of its foun tions are timbers fifty feet long, and good to-day as when laid one hun ed and twenty-five .years ago. No anges at all have been made in the >se, and repairs only when preserva >n demands. A bout 1781-just one lh.mdred years o, perhaps-the house.was occupied Major Maxfield, of the British army, th a' small detachment of toops. cannon on the east of the house rc joiced the hearts of the patriots in the village of Granby, who knew Gen. Greene's troops were somewhere around. Tbe single shot was enough. It pierced the gable of the house, and before the Americans could fire another shot from their cannon-made out of a green gum log banded with iron-the British nmajor surrendered his garrison. The hole where the cannon ball en tered the gable is there to-day. Gen. Hampton in his speech on Wednesday said "Light Horse" Hairy Lee fired the shot. Tradi'ion says it was done by Greene's men. Lee be longed to Gen. Greene's army, but like others of his rank in the Revolution, he operated separately from the general command. Reminiscences of 1780-81 were always fresh in the mind of Mrs. Cayce, the mother of the present owner. She died in 1861, having spent a life of more than eighty years at Granby. Mr. R. W. Cayce and his estimable family now occupy the house. No one can better cheer the guest than his good wife. The house and farm has descended to Mr. Cayce from ancestors who occupied it in 17S0-S1. - One of these was Major Tateman, an officer in the American army. The house has never passed out of the hands of the family, except when occupied by the British troops. Even Sherman, when he burned Columbia, spared the Cayce house, only despoiling the farm of its cattle and all the provisions he could lay hands on. The grandmother of Mrs. Cayce, our hostess, was the sister9 Lf,'Geger, who made tloe7us ride as special .. for Gen. Greene-when he was camped on Broad River, in Newberry County-arid delivered the message to Gen. Sumpter on the Wateree. Emily Geiger was a native of Newberry County. She married Major Threewits after the Revolution, and they lived at Granby. In the eastern room, with its chim ney thirteen feet wide at the base and a fire-place that takes in wood cord length, sits a mahogany card table that belonged to Lord Cornwallis. Major Tateman captured it at Camden, and it has remained part and parcel of the Cayce house. An offer of five hundred dollars for it has been declined by Mr. Cayce. From the front porch there i- ' com manding view of Columbia, with the State House rising up most prominent ly beyond the green-bordered Conga ree. The old State road, connecting the different British posts, Monck's Corner, Eutaw Springs, Fort Motte, Granby and Ninety-Six, passes just in front. Many a weary traveler has rested beneath its roof in former and latter days. I had a good view of the fireworks on Thursday night from the porch. Owing to the damp weather the pyro technic programme was not entirely carried out, but a distance of a mile or so lent enchantment to the scene. And then, toe, the presence of several hap py young.people was inspiring, since it was apparent that the walls of the Cayce house, if they could speak, could tell of noble youths and fair maids who never had Centennial fireworks to re flect the sparkle of their eyes on tryst ing occasions. The walls of the house, however, are thickly dumb. The ceiling is plastered nearly two inches thick-good to-day as ever-and the sides also. The exte rior is now being painted-the fourth time in its existence-once blue, then red, then white, and now straw-col ored. The trades display on Friday night was the most creditable affair of the kind Columbia has ever undertaken, and the success in this line will enable the city to entertain more handsomely her visitors at the annual fair. In the success of the Centennial, Co lumbia's three daily newspapers bore a large part. I was glad to see the Reg ister in a new dress at the opening day, and putting forth fresh energy in all departments. The Record got on its new attire a few days later, and is keeping up with the procession. The State appeared in the national colors on military day. It put itself to great expense in giving the Centennial events, which it did fully and aucu rately. Nearly everybody wore Centennial badges. One of the prettiest was got ten up by The State. It was white silk, on wvhich was worked out of pal metto leaves the palmetto tree. The rain did not mar the decorations to any considerable extent. I have never seen the city in better appear ance and humor, even in the loveliest spring day. There wvere arch.es and arches. New berry had one there. She got the cen tennial fervora too late to make a big display. The decorators wvere rushed and neglected to perform their contract with our committee, who worked hard to get the matter in shape. Aside from one or two of the more miagnificent structures, our arch symbolized as much as the celeb,ration was intended to convey-honor to our noble ances tors. w- p. H-.

Beattie has been for many years a director of the Granite ville'Mills, of Graniteville. the Pied mont Mills and the Campe' -wn 31 ills, and is in every way qualified for the position. Mlartin Chapin of Chapin. [Union Times.] Martin Chapin, who owns the largest part of the town of Chapin, in Lexing ton County, on the C. 3. & L. road, but who forty years ago traveled on foot from Columbia to Laurens and from there to Union, paid our sanctum a visit last week. He is not as young as he was then, but he carries his age well, and can,..afford to ride wherever he wants fo go. I DR. GRIFFIN'S HEAD. Tilinian Calls for it. But It Docant Co:ne. Result of the Lunatic Asylum I nvcsi gation. [Special to Greenville News.] CoLUXBIA, May 1S.-The expectet result of the investiga" ,n of the Stat lunatic asylum came .o pass to-day Governor Tillman bas asked Superin tendent Griffin to send in his resigns tion. After the conclusion of the recentrti vestigation of the legislative committe and the reply of the regents and state mrents of Dr. Griffin in his defence season of calm intervened, but on tl Sth instant Dr. Griffin made a lenght, reply to Governor Tillman in regard t the hearing promised him. He said i: that letter that the promise referred t "was made by you speaking for th committee as well as yourself while was before the committee undergoin examination; and certainly, if given i good faith, authorized rue to expet that before the inquiry was conclude I should have an occasion tendered m by the committee and you of presentin my defense." He then goes on to compare the of portunity really offered him to that at corded victims of the Spanish inquis tion and says he has no assurance the inquiry proposed by the governt would be heard by the committee < that it would reverse its condemnatio even if its error was proved. He cha acterizes the investigation as carried o in a spirit of fault finding, and in cot elusion states that he is not willing 1 engage "in such a trifling procendui before such a tribunal." The govern< on the 9th replied at length, striving I make the point that the investigatic was of the institution and not of tt superintendent, but that it had ealle his, the governor's attention to app: rent faults in management andi,-w his duty to act thereon.Ree n~o reply to this letterP iior 'rTillman to-day Griffin the following ommunication: "SIR: I have waited patiently to see whether you would make any reply to my leter of May 9th or ask for a trial. None having been received, I am forced to conclude that you do not desire such trial. I therefore write to ask that you send in your resignation as superintendent of the Lunatic Asy um." Doctor Griffin was seen to-night but declined to talk about the matter further than to say that he should not resign and that his reply to Governor Tiiiman would be forwarded to-morrow or next day. JUTE RESTOREI) TO FAVOR. Mr. Sligh Says Manufacturers Have CoinE to Alliance Terms. [Special to Charleston World.] COLUMBIA, May 18.-Rev. J. A Sligh, the well-known Alliance mar from Newberry, was in the city to-day on his way to Orangeburg where a bit Alliance meeting is to be held to-mor row. Mr. Sligh is on the bagging corn mittee of the State Alliance, and ht said to The World representative to day that the committee had finally de cided to use jute bagging altogether because the jute men had come to theii prices, and that was all the Allianct wanted. Mr. Sligh said that a contract ha( been practically made with a big jut< firm to supply the South Carolina A li ance, but refused to say what firm was, as it was an Alliance secret. HI said, however, that the Charlestor Bagging company had made very fav orable propositions to the Alliance, an< that the proposition was being consid ered. He intimated that the firn which the Alliance would probabl; contract with for the jute bagging wva one outside of the State. A GREAT LOSS. Dr. MlcBryde Will Leave South Carolini and the University. [The State, 16th.] Dr. J. M. McBryde, president of th South Carolina University, has beed elected to the presidency of the Agri cultural College of Virginia, and ha accepted the position. Dr. McBryde has been in Virgini for several days, but is expected horn to-day. He will resign the presidenc; of the South Carolina University uool his return, to take effect at the close c the present session. He has been con nected with the South Carolina Uni versity for nine years, and president fa eight years, and only about two week ago was re-elected by the board. Sine his connection with the South Caroli na University he has received repeate offers from other State Universities making good inducements for himt go, but he has preferred to remain witl the college of his native State. His administration has been emi nently successful, and his resignatio1 will be a great loss to the State. Th board will hold a meeting in June ani no action will likely be taken in regar< to the resignation before that time. A Prize for Upland Cotton. [The State.)
