THE ASYLC}M MANAGEMENT.
The State Lunatic Asylum mattel
has reached aculmination and on Tues
day a lengthy correspondence was pub
lished betv.een Governor Tillman anc
Dr. P. E. Griffin, the superintendent
The charges against the managemen1
as made public, and the reply of th<
Regents, were published in The Heralk
and News.
Now Governor Tillman asks for thi
resignation of Dr. Griffin.
The Herald and News does not knov
much of the merits of the case. Ther
may be mismanagement of the affair
of the asylum, but it does not seem t
us that the Governor and his commit
tee have been fair in their treatment o
this matter, either to the Regents o
Dr. Griffin. A committee was ap
pointed by the Legislature to investi
gate this asylum matter. They me
and took evidence in secret from em
ployees of the asylum without permit
ting Dr. Griffin or the Regents to b
present at the investigation to hear th
evidence against them and to meet th
witnesses face to face, and not onl:
that, but as we understand it, the;
were not heard by this special commil
tee at all. True Gov. Tillman says i:
one of his letters that the investigatio:
by the committee was of the institu
tion and not the superintendent. It i
also true that the Governor now offe
Dr. Griffin the opportunity to subni
affidavits and evidence in rebuttal, bu
it seems to The Herald and News th.
he should have had the privilege t
meet the witnesses face to face and t
have had his hearing before the fu
committee.
Every man is entitfed to and shoul
have justice. In this case we do n<
believe it has been accorded the asylum
management.
The organization of a State Survivor
Association in Columbia last week is
move in the right direction. Such
move ought to have been made Ion
ago.
The attendance at the meeting la
week was very good, and the intere:
manifested was encouraging. As w
understand, it is not to be a politic:
organization in any sense, but its of
ject is to secure a complete enrollmer
of all the survivors in the State, and I
preserve and perpetuate a correct an
true history of the part performed b
the brave men of the South in 1r
struggle for wha they conceived to I
right.'
The idea is to get a county assoen
tion organized in every county, ar

once and perfect a county organizatic

Let some of the survivors take ho:
of this matter and work it up witho'
further delay.

There is a good deal of talk ab:>m
the circulating medium not bein
enough for the transaction of busines!
It is very scarce around this office w
admit, but the question we wantt
know is how it wvould get in circulatior
if there was more coined or more greer
backs stamped. How would the pec
ple get it and how wouid they be ben4
fitted unless they got it. That is th
point we would like to see elucidated
During our stay in Columbia las
wee we had occasion to visit the clos
ing exercises, or rather the anniversar;
exercises of the Winthrop Trainin,
S2hool. To say that we were please<
and delighted would but mildly ex
press it.
This school is doing an excellen
work and should receive the heart:
support of the St ate.
The young ladies evidenced in th<
parts performed. by them in these clos
ing exercises careful and thorougl
training, and we are satisfied the schoo
is doing a good work for the State.
The Western Union telegraph com
pany is now at work building a com
mercial wire from Columbia to Ander

Col. Catheart will remember that up
town office that Newberry needs and
that he is to put up for us.
It is getting about time to hear some
thing of that union depot. That is the
opinion of The Herald and News and
various citizens.
What do the railroads think of it?
It is time now to hear from them.
The water works and electric lights
question is not yet dead, but only rest*

again.
These are two .of the things needed
in Newberry and they are bound to

SIDE LIGHTS OF THE COLUMIA CE - e3
NIAL.
The celebration at the State capital tl
last week commemorated the first j
neting of the General Assembly in at
Columbia in the year 1791. ,That was 11
just one hundred and ten years after cer- L
tain other minor events transpired at sl
Granby, which was the site first chosen gi
for what is now the city of Columbia. >
I leave the daily newspapers to tell of
the celebration in detail and with a
fragmentary sketch here and there, to
I devote most of my time to some cen
tennial side lights at an historic house
near the old village of Granby. V
I.
On the first day of the Columbia Cen- v
tennial, Wednesday the 1.t3b, the civic lc
procession occurred. Two hundred t oi
Confederate veterans occupied the b
place of honor. c<
Gen. Wade Hampton delivered the C
oration of the day. It was historically
interesting, and he spoke in clear tores n
and eloquent manner. When be arose
to begin his speech the enthusiasm of
the crowd burst forth in tremendous f:
cheers for the hero of '76. C
r The place Gen. Hampton holds in d
the hearts of the people is wonderful.
Their affection for him is as strong to
day as when they followed where he t
led in days of victory.
e "My political career is ended, my
e publie work is finished" were the clos
ing words of his address. They are
significant. No man of our day retires 1
with such neerless fame.
1 The city was thronged later in the I
day with the arrival and movements
s of the various military companies.
t From the appearance of the weather
t on Thursday morning it seemed that
Lt the State's soldiers must endure the
o hardships of parading through the
o rain. But the clouds broke away at
11 noon, and the parade was delayed
about an hour. The parade was
I formed at the State House, and with
t Governor Tillman and staff moved up
n Main street to the inspiring strains of
seven bands of music and the admira
tion of thousands of people on balco
s nies, at windows and lining the street
a from one end to the other. Tbe par
a ade was the grandest in the history of
the State. There were about 1,700 men
in line, representing thirty-six com
t panies.
The Fourth brigade came first. It
was composed, with one exception, of
Charleston troops. The old city al
it ways responds nobly. The German
Fusiliers was the handsome company
d in the parade, and they had a good
y second in the German Artillery of the
same city. They looked-like veterans
eand marched with remarkable precis
ion.
dCol. Chats. J. Purcell, of New berry,<
in a handsome uniform, and mounted (
on a spirited charger, rode with the
yGovernor as a member of his staff. <
The Third brigade was second in the
line. The Hornets' Nest Rifles of.
,Charlotte, N. C., and the cadets of the
Patrick Military Institute, of Ander
dson, deserve special mention for thei
line they bore and their splendid ap
Spearance.
Newberry was represented by Major
dL. W. C. Blalock, on the staff of Gen.
tPRchbourg, commanding the Second
brigade. Three Columbia companies
the Governor's Guards, the Richland
Volunteers and the Zouaves--were the3
most admired in this brigade. The ten
companies comprising this regiment
paraded together to-day for the first
etime since 186.5.
The military spirit was aroused in
amany veterans who thronged from the
tsidewalks. They were carried back to
t the days when the booming of cannon
twas the music that inspired.
The Governor was warmly cheered in
passing under the Edgefield arch, and
at the Fair grounds the Lafayette Ar
stillery took off their hats and shoutedi
~ three cheers for Governor Tillmar,
Iwhich was joined in by civilians too. c
2 The Governor was dressed in a suit
of plain black, Prince Albert style, and
Sit was quite a while before I discovered
something unusual in his appearance.
gHe had shaved of"his mustache!
The description of the parade in Fri
day's News and Courier is one of the
,finest pieces of writing I hav'e ever
read. It is refreshing to get hold of
something out of the usual stereotyped
estyle of cold details. It must have
been written under the inspiration of
Charleston's eagle, which soared aloft
on her arch that was left untar
nished by the advertising feature.
We do utilize the "occasion" too much ~
sometimes. The Centennial was in
tended to celebrate the past, with a
loyal hope for a propitious future-but
not too much in the utilitarian ideal.,
t d
Turning aside from this crowning ~
event of the Centennial celebration, I
make a visit to the old historic "Cayce t
-house," which stands on the Lexing
ton side of the Congaree, due west
from the State House. A drive of
three miles from Columbia will bring t<
you at its hospitable door, where a t
generous wvelcome awaits every comer.
I made the trip in an open sulky
through the misty rain. A bright fire
glowed in the large fire-place where,
for a century and a half, genial warmth
has been spread. Ii
p
To a lover of relics of the A merican d
Revolution the Cayce house is most F
interesting. Its construction is ad- n~
mirable. Wrought-iron nails were used v
in all the work. The silis of its foun- a
dations are timbers fifty feet long, and Ip
as good to-day as when laid one hun
dred and twenty-five years ago. No
changes at all have been made in the
house, and repairs only when preserva
tion demands.
A bout 171-just one hundred years fr
ago, perhaps-the house was occupied t
by Major Maxfield, of the British army, h
with a small detachmnent of troops- at
Earlyo ne mornings the sonnd of a W~
onion on the east of the house rc
iced the hearts of the patriots in
ie village of Uranby, who knew
en. ( reene's troops were somewhere
-ound. The single shot was enough.
pierced the gable of the house, and
afore t he Americans could fire another
ot from their cannon-made out of a
reen gum log banded with iron-the
ritish major surrendered his garrison.
The hole where the cannon ball en
red the gable is there to-day.
Gen. Hampton in his speech on
iednesday said "Light Horse" Hairy
ee fired the shot. Tradi"ion says it
as done by Greene's men. Lee be
nged to Gen. Greene's army, but like
thers of his rank in the Revolution,
e operated separately from the general
Dmmand. Reminiscences of 1 70-S1
ere always fresh in the mind of Mrs.
ayce, the mother of the present ow ner.
he died in 1S61, having spent a life of
'ore than eighty years at Granby.
Mr. I. W. Cayce and his e:tinmable
miiy now occupy the house. No one
an better cheer the guest than his
ood wife. The house and farm has
escended to Mr. Cayce from ancestors
rho occupied it in 17S0-S1. One of
hese was Major Tateman, an oflicer in
he American ar:ny. The house has
ever passed out of the hands of the
tmily, except when occupied by the
3ritish troops. Even Sherman, when
te burned Columbia, spared the Cayee
Louse, only despoiling the farm of its
attle and all the provisions he could
ty hands on.
The grandmother of Mrs. Cayce, our
ostess, was the sister of Emily Geger,
v ho made the famous ride as special
ourier for Gen. Gre,ne-wben he was
amped on Broad River, in Newberry
ounty-and delivered the message to
en. Sumpter on the Wateree. Emily
eiger was a native of Newberry
ounty. She married Major Threewits
fter the REvolution, and they lived at
iranby.
In the eastern room, with its chim
iey thirteen feet wide at the base and
L fire-place that takes in wood cord
ength, sits a mahogany card table that
)elonged to Lord Cornwallis. Major
'ateman captured it at Camden, and
t has remained part and parcel of the
,ayce house. An offer of five hundred
ollars for it has been declined by Mr.
Dayce.
From the front porch there is a corn
nanding view of Columbia, with the
state House rising up most prominent
y beyond the green-bordered Conga
ee. The old State road, connecting
the different British posts, Mouck's
,orner, Eutaw Springs, Fort Motte,
3ranby and Ninety-Six, passes just in
tront. Many a weary traveler has
rested beneath its roof in former and
atter days.
I had a good view ,f the fireworks
>n Thursday night from the porch.
)wing to the damp weather the pyro
echnic programme was not entirely
~arried out, but a distance of a mile or
o lent enchantment to the scene. And
~hen, too, the presence of several hap
y young people was inspiring, since it
.as apparent that the walls of the
layce house, if they could speak, could
~ell of noble youths and fair maids who
2ever had Centennial fireworks to re
ect the sparkle of their eyes on tryst
ng occasions.
The walls of the house, howvever, are
~hickly dumb. The ceiling is plastered
aearly two inches thick -0ood to-day
s ever-and the sides also. The exte
~ior is now being painted-the fourth
ime in its existence-once blue, then
~ed, then white, and now straw-col
>red.
The trades display on Friday night
as the most creditable affair of the
ind Columbia has ever undertaken,
md the success in this line will enable
;he city to entertain more handsomely
2er visitors at the annual fair.
In the success of the Centennial, Co
umbia's three daily newspapers bore a
arge part. I was glad to see the Reg
ster in a new dress at the opening day,
ond putting forth fresh energy in all
epartments. The Record got on its
iew attire a few days later, and is
eeping up with the procession. The
~tate appeared in the national colors
n military day. It put itself to great
xpense in giving the Centennial
vents, which it did fully and accu
ately.
Nearly everybody wore Centennial
adges. Om e of the prettiest was got
en up by The State. It wa white
ilk, on which was worked out of pal
etto leaves the palmetto tree.
The rain~ did not mar the decorations
o any considerable extent. I have
ever seen the city in better appear
nee and hunior, even in the loveliest
pring day.
Tfhere were arches and arch es. New
erry had one there. She got the cen
annia1lfervor too late to make a big
isplay. The decorators wvere rushed

Re,.ult of the i.unatic Asyluni Inveai

[Special to Greenville News.]
COLUMBIA, May IS.-The expected
result of the investigation of the State
lunatic asylum came to pass to-day,
Governor Tillman has asked Superin
tendent Griffin to send in his resigna
tion.
After the conelusion of the recent in
vestigation of the legislative committee
and the reply of the regents and state
ments of Dr. Griffin in his defence a
season of calm intervened, but on the
8th instant Dr. Griffin made a lenghty
reply to Governor Tillman in regard to
the hearing promised him. He said in
that letter that the promise referred to
"was made by you speaking for the
committee as well as yourself while I
was before the committee undergoing
examination; and certainly, if given in
good faith, authorized me to expect
that before the inquiry was concluded
I should have an occasion tendered me
by the committee and you of presenting
my defense."
He then goes on to compare the op
portunity really offered him to that ae
corded victims of the Spanish inquisi"
tion and says he has no assurance it
the inquiry proposed by the governoi
would be heard by the committee of
that it would reverse its condemnatior
even if its error was proved. He char
acterizes the investigation as carried or
in a spirit of fault finding, and in con
elusion states that be is not willin. t<
engage "in such a trifling procendurt
before such a tribunal." The governol
on the 9th replied at length, striving t(
make the point that the investigatior
was of the institution and not of the
superintendent, but that it had callec
his, the governor's attention to appa
rent faults in management and it wa!
his duty to act thereon. Receiving n<
reply to this letter Governor Tillimat
to-day sent Dr. Griffin the followinf
communication:
"SIR: I have waited patiently to sei
whether you would make any reply t<
my leter of May 9th or ask for a trial
None having been received, I an
forced to conclude that you do no
desire such trial. I therefore write t
ask that you send in your resignatiol
as superintendent of the Lunatic Asy
lum."
Doctor Griffin was seen to-night bu
declined to talk about the matte
further than to say that he should no
resign and that his rep,ly to Governo
Tillman would be forwarded to-morroN
or next day.

to Alliance Terms.
[Special to Charleston World.]
COLUMBIA, May 1.-Rev. J. A
Sligh, the well-known Alliance ma:
from Newberry, was in Cie city to-da,
on his way to Orangeburg where a bi
Alliance meeting is to be held to-mol
row. Mr. Sligh is on the bagging cor
mittee of the State Alliance, and h
said to The World representative tc
day that the committee had finally de
cided to use jute bagging altogethei
because the jute men had come to thei
prices, and that was all the Allianc
wanted.
Mr. Sligh said that a contract hal
been practically made with a big jut
firm to supply the South Carolina All:
ance, but refused to say what firmi
was, as it was an Alliance secret. H
said, however, that the Charlesto:
Blagging company had made very fa~
orable propositions to the Alliance, an'
that the proposition was being consid
ered. He intimated that the firr
which the Alliance would p)robabl;
contract with for the jute bagging wa
one outside of the State.

Dr. McBryde has been in Virgini

of the South Carolina University uol
his return, to take effect at the close c

the college of his native State.
His administration has been cmi
nently successful, and his resignatial

An Awful Sore Limb

Hopeles--Cured by thme
Cut ieura Ienmedics
Fornearly threeyears I was almost crippled
with an awful sore let fromi my knee down
to tmy akie: the skin was entirely ufone, ai'd
the iieshm was one mass of disease. some p hy
sicians pronounced it ilnurable. It had di
nminishled about one thirdl the size of tihe
other, and I was in a hopeless condition. '
After tryinag aii k inmds of remedies andl spend
ing h undreas of dollars. froni which I got no
relief whatever I was rursuaded to try your
CUlicCR.A IIEMtEOES, anid the result was as
follows: After thbree days I noticed a decided
chang or the better, and at the end of two
monlths I was comlpleteliy cured. 3My fleshL
was puritied, and tie bole (which had been
exposed for over a year) got sounId. The tiesh
beganl to grow, an(i to dlay, and0 for nearly two
years, moy leg is as well is ever it was, sound
lin every respect, and no)t a Sign of disease to
be seen.

wit h a severe ease of cezena, and after receiv
ing little or no benetit from tile treatment of

edl a set of them and before they wereall used
the disease had left me. I recomnmed the
