EBERT H. AtLL, EDITOR. ELBERT H. AULL, w~. . HUSEA, ~Proprietors. WM.P. HOUSEA, NEWBERRY, S. C. THURSDAY, MAY 2S, 1S91. OGKi HOME CRITICS. "Our own arch. It was a bad botcl." ...... "The descriptive circulars were not what they ought to have been." ..... "There might be otLer criticisms, but they could do no good," says the Observer about Newberry'o The Centennial, and the descrip tiue circulars printed a!nd distributed at the same time, and also printed in The Herald and News last week. The Herald and News would like to know what good this much criticism has done. Newberry's arch was not elaborate, nor what it should have been, nor what it was contemplated to be but there is no need now of this criti cism. The arch was not so terribly bad either. As to the descriptive cir cular The Herald and News thinks it was a very creditable circular, and cer tainly compared favorably in style, matter and general get up with those distributed by other counties. But then there is no "disputing about tastes" and some people will find fault and complain at anything that is done. What Newberry needs is not a spirit of fault finding and criticism with ev ery effort for the advancement of the town, but for every one to do his part and pull together for the progress and deveiopement of the town. The Observer generally says what it thinks and The Herald and News ad mires this spirit, but when fault find ing and criticism do no good what's the use of it. Tlfe descriptive circulars were gener ally distributed inColumbia and elicited general commendation. Three promi nent daily papers spoke in complimen tary terms of them, and in fact the on ly adverse criticism that The Herald and News has heard, comes from our cotemporary, the Observer. We are glad to believe that the De mocracy is good enough for the white people of South Carolina. They do not want a third party. But the trouble is going to be that each of the two factious now in the State is going to claim to represent the Democratic party, and -ach is going to call the other Independent, and all sorts of things. We should get together, but instead the signs of the times indicate that we are getting further apart. There is needed in South Carolina a spirit of tolerance. There is too great a tendency among certain of our would be leaders to suppress the freedom of speech, unless that freedom puts you in line with them and all their wild teachings. Let us have more tolera tion, more regard for the opinions and views of each other; stop thinking and saying hard things of each other, and questioning one another's motives; force into retirement all leaders who by word or action would stir up strife. Let us remember that we are white men and brethren, and that all true men among us desire the welfare of all the people. Let us get together, then, and discuss our differences, but let r.s do it lite men. Governor Tillman's head is level on a good many things, and he generally says what he thinks. He is wrong, according to The Herald and News, on some things, but he is right on the sub treasury scheme, and now on the third party craze he expresses i.self with no uncertain sound. According to the Record he says: "I am a Democrat. I was born a Democrat and I expect t) die a Democrat. It would be idiocy as well as suicide for the Southern people to follow such leadership. The ulti matum as to the negro shows what we may expect from any such affiliation." State Lecturer Talbert declined to be interviewed on the subject saying that he had announced his platform and that he stood squarely upon it. He ex pects to do a great deal of stump speak ing on the issues of the day during the coming summer. Governor Tillman is right' on this question and has with him the great majority of the white people of South Carolina. This seems to be a time and a year for calling people names at long range and putting these epithets in the~ shape of resolutions. Newspapers that give circulation to such mud-slinging are not elevating to the moral tone of the community ;neither are they perform ir'g their duty in the higher sphere of journalism. If persons have personal difficulIties let them face each other like men and settle them among them selves. South Carolina had no0 representative at Ciucinnati to hellp in forming the Third Party or Peoples Party. That is strange for we have more things done in South Carolina in the name of "the people" than any other State in the union. If not then we pity that other place. But the great nmass of the white people of South Carolina are satisfied with the Democratic party. The Laurens Herald finds a great many thmngs in the Columbia Centen nial to frighten it. The Herald seenms to think that it was a Hampton Cen tennial and gotten up to boom Hamp ton politically. It is a great pity some pepecan't see anything but polttics. If Brother Crews had gone to Colum bia and gazed up)on the beautiful arch from Laurens, and mingled with the people there assembled, he possibly would have had his views broadened and he could have seen something else besides polities. Wade Hampton does not need any boom, a the people who love him for what ' *as done and what he is, will conti..e to show him honor and re spect, '.en though the Laurens Herald dossesoehn in it to frighten Hon. Ben. Terrell will speak at A b ABOUT FREE PASSES. In the last issue of the Cotton Plant, Editor Stokes devotes a column of edi- 9 torial to the subject of Congressmen, Legislators and State officers being ci- a fered and accepting free passes from S the railroads. He says one object of the article is to pay a tribute to Con- r gressman Alexander of North Caroli- 'I na who was offered and declined a free a pass, and the other is to inquire if any l of our Congressmen or State officers are a now the recipients of such favors from a any of the railroads.- He says he will v keep a column open and standing "for t the purpose and invite our Congress- I men, as well as members of the Legis- c lature and State officers who have re- b fused to accept free passes to send us P their z .x ? The Herald and News does not be- t lieve brother Stokes will have any need t to reserve a column for this purpose, I for when he gets all his information in he will find that the whole posse of t State officials are enjoying the luxury P of a free pass, some of them for them- t selves and families. But what's the use of making a fuss about it. They all do it. But prosecute your investi gation and you will find that all our State officers ride on free passes. Now about the Congressmen we have no definite information, except c that we understand that Cougressman e Johnstone has declined to accept a free pass, and this statement is made with out his knowledge or consent. But you will find some of these gentleman 8 using free passes too. But. where is the harm Mr. Cotton Plant? Let these gentlemen have a good time if they want to. They are F in the thing to make out of it all they can and let them pro-eed. Now we want the Cotton Plant to re- E member that The Herald and News is not on the witness stand and does not propose, at present, at least, to adduce further evidence, but we say to the Cotton Plant proceed with your in- 1 vestigation and you will find that most, if not all, of our State officers ride on free passes, and that legislators, high-in rank, do likewise. But it has always been thus and why now make a fuss about it. By the way it might be well for the Cotton Plant to tell us whether the State Senator from Orangeburg County 1 is the recipient of a free pass from the railroads, as he wants information from Legislators as well as Oongres3men. The Columbia police have run upon a-gang of negro youths, from seven to ten years old, who have been banded together for the purpose of stealing and robbery. There are fourteen in the gang and they have styled themselves the "Jesse James gang." They have been operating in Columbia about nine months. ABOUT A SECOND TERM~. The boom against the present admin istration for 1892 is evidently on, but it goes slow.-Bamberg Advertiser. How long has it been announced that the present administration was in the race for re-election in 1892? Has it1 come to pass that an official act of the present administration cannot be criti cised without it being construed into opposition to the administration? There are a few rabid administration sheets in South Carolina that are try ing very hard to keep up the strife andt warfare of last summer and that twist everything into opposition to the ad ministration. The candidates fcr 1892 have not yet been announced. But the Bamberg Advertiser finds several things in the Columbia centen nial that it magnifies into opposition to the administration. It thinks the reunion of the Hampton Legion in Au gusta a short time ago, and the Colum bia centennial were all manipulated against a second term for the present administration, and that the proposedi reunion of Butler's Brigade tends that way. A man can generally find what he looks for. But if the administra tion has such a hold on the people as its ardent organs claim for it, we see no use of all this scare. The editor of Thu Herald and News happened to be int Columbia during the whole of the cen- I tennial, and he saw nothing, politi cally speaking, to so frighten the ad ministration. The State officers hadr every attention, and those of them I with whom we talked spoke in very flattering terms of the success of thet celebration. If the present administration meetst the approval of the people, it will very likely secure a second term if it desires it. If it does not mieet that approval, the people will very probably say so, and there is no use for these adminis tration papers to become so frightened at so early a date. Keep cool brethren, the summer heat is just beginning and there is no use yet for you to tear your shirt. DR. GRIFFLIN GOEs OUT. Dr. P. E. Griffin has been removed from the Asylum, as Superintendent, and Dr. Thompson, has been appointed as his successor temporarily. The per-c manent successor has not yet been I named. The Herald and News, is of the same opinion as expressed last week, that Dr. j Griffin has not been fairly dealt with. f, He ought to have been r llowed to meet I the witnesses against him face to face a and hear the evidence and reply to it. This was not done. The evidence was E taken in secret and was only an ex parte r hearing. If the Governor and the in vestigating comniittee wanted the facts, C and that is what they ought to have I desired, they should have heard both s sides. 1s it not a fact that the investigation I by the committee as first made and the report to the Governor, was to the effect that they found the management S all right, and that Governor Tillman, e called the Committee together, again 5 and attended the investigation in per son, and the second investigation is the I one upon which the Governor deposed Dr. Griffin. 3 But Dr. Griffin is out, and it is very important that an efficient and experi enced man be appointed as his succes sor. Would it not be a good idea to take a rest from polities now? Lets talk about farming, or devote a little time t to our schc-ols and colleges. a But this is a strange year, and novel BANKS AND RAILROADS. "It is estimated that the raising of ae assessments on railroads and banks 1 this State will amount to nearly 25,000,000, which if not reduced will dd about $100,001) to the taxes of the ,tate." The above is from the Columbia cor 1spondence of the News and Conrier. 'he banks and the railroads will enter very lively protest against such a irge increase in their assessments. It ould make no difference to them if 11 other property was increased in alue in the same ratio, because then le rate of taxation would be lower. tut it docs not appear just right to in rease these returns when every one nows that real estate and nearly all ersonal property is returned at much elow its market value. The truth of he matter is that it is a very difficult hing to tell just what the market va ue of property is. Mr. Ellerbe says that his purpose is o increase the assessments of all pro erty to its market value and he hopes o gel the Legislatuie at its next session D order a reassessment of real estate or taxation, anC if it is not done then ie will recommend a rebate to the rail oads and banks. But why not wait and let the re ssessments of real estate, and the in rease in the banks and railroads, all ome at once. There needs to be some hing done in the matter of assess nents and the start must be made, ut the present looks very much like ,n attack on corporations to meet popu ar approval. This $100,000 will be needed very ikely to fill up a deficiency front >hosphate royalty, but then let this ncrease all come at once, and let all the itizeris and taxpayers stand on equal ,round. The Evening Record, in giving a ecord of removals, should not be so urprised. It is always thus. Some hing must be done to meet the prom ses of last year. T he Herald and News loes not object to changes. But :hange is not always reform. he Centennial Committee Thanks The Herald and News. To the Editor of The Herald and 'ews:-Your kindly reference in "The Eerald and News," issue of the 21st, to he Newberry arch at the Columbia .entennial was very pleasant and eassuring to the committee. Laving the natter in charge. I desire publicly to llude to the pleasure af'orded us in ioting your appreciation of the efforts >ut forth by us. I may say your words vere "fitly spoken," and appeared to us ;here fore "like apples of gold in pictures )f silver," in contrast with the unseemly pirit of fault-finding that actuated ome hypercritical spectators, who con lemned the appearance of the arch be ore the arch was completed. With the resources at command the omittee did the best it could, and trove earnestly to advance the best nterests of the Town and County, and ias cause for believing that some good will eventuate from the labors expend id. I desire in return to compliment you for the fine public spirit displayed n yielding so much of your space as was necessary to publish in full the >amphlet, several thousand copies of which were distributed among the visi ors at Columbia. That pamphlet, de criptive of New berry's resources, was ~irculated freely and called forth only he highest praise and commendation, o far as we have heard. Some have said, that Ne wberry was he best andi most judiciously advertis d county in the State. The work of istibutionz was well attended to by he writer, by personal superintend ee, so much so as denied him the leasure of hearing that grand old Ro nan Wade Hampton in his centennial ration. And for the benefit of those who condemn and abuse right and left, 'egadless of others' opinions, let us ommemd the "gude" advice of Robbie Burns and the pleasant expressions which I quote further on. "0 wad scme power the:gift' gie us To see oursels as others sr z us! it wad frae mcnie a blunhr free us, And foolish notion." I attach great value to the opinions hich follow, as they prove the "fool sh notion" that some have that few berry's arch was a disgrace and a ailue. CoL F. WV. McMaster, thehon >red Mayor of Columbia writes to me. "There were arches inferior to that of gew berry, but of course we were grate ul to all.. It was the fellowship we rized and not the amount of money pent on the decoration." High au hority to be sure. This will bear read ng twice, as it shows "oursels as others e us." That prince cf correspondents, M. F. 'ighe of the Charleston News and Cou ir, wrote to his paper about the pam hlets as follows: "Sumter has done wonders in the vay of advertising, all of which has een read with interest, but she has ound a worthy' competitor, in New terry. Yesterday thousands of little >amphlets were circulated among the isitors in which the advantages of sewberry City and Newberry County vere attractively set forth." And the Charleston World and the 'he State likewise had comnplimentary otices of the pamphlets. In addition to what is given above, e cherish as well the golden opinion tf those at home who have spoken so avorably of them. However, "There are people of difrerent opinions, Some say onions, some say inions." WV. E. PELHAM. NOTES FROM EXCELSIOR. Our farmers are moving right along pith work.

A Fountain Pen for I Oc. LIVELY EPISODE IN LAUENS. Reported Interview Between Professor Evans and McEiroy Regarding that Baskel Invitation. [Greenville News, 24th.] Laurens had a breezy sensation of Friday, if the reports that reach her are correct. Some time ago Professo Evans, principal of the Laurens mal academy, invited Col. A. C. Haskell of Columhsa, to deliver an address be fore the school. The invitation cause much talk in Laurens and Professo W. T. McElroy, of Laurens County well known here, wrote an article i the Laurensville Herald severely criti cizing Professor Evans and makin statements which that gentlema considered untrue and injurious. Pr( fessor E%,ans did not reply, but Frida he met Professor McElroy on tb streets. The occurences that followe are reported as told to a News reporte yesterday : Professor Evans asked Professor Mc Elroy if he was responsible for th statements, and the latter answered a firmatively. "You'll have to retract them," quie ly said Professor Evans. "You are not going to attack me? queried Professor McElroy. "I mean what I say," spoke Profe sor Evans. ",You'll have to retra< those statements." Professor McElroy said that he wi unarmed, whereupon Professor Evar told him to go and arm himself and h would wait for him where he wi standing. Professor McElroy went away an did not return. Professor Evar searched for him and found him in T. Roland's hardware store. "Hai you armed yourself?" Professor Evar asked. ",No." It is said that Professor McElrc then drew x knife. Professor Evat raised a walking cane and sternly con manded Professor McElroy to put ti weapon oack in his pocket. This wi done, and Professor McElroy agal said he was unarmed. Professor Evans told him to get pistol from Mr. Holland and if I would not, he would buy it for hir Professor McElroy refused to get weapon, and Professor Evans brougi matters to a crisis by ordering pape pen and ink and having it put befoi Professor McElroy. "Now write and retract the fal statements you have made," said Pr< fessor Evans, and Professor McElr< obeyed. The retraction was writte to suit Professor Evans, signed prope y, and then the two men separate Professor Evans taking the retractic to the Herald office for publication. It is said that Professor Evans ca ried only a cane and did not have weapon on his person. The story the affair passed through several hani before reaching here and is given told in this city. OUR PROSPERITY LETTER. Rev. J. B. Traywick has been col fined to his room for several days, victim of the spring disease. He has specific for this particular disease, b1 in his own case it has thus far failed. Mrs. Martha Kibler, Forest Kibl and Hampton Kinard, all in one hou have fever. The cause seems to I entirely local. The later showers, followed by war: weather, have greatly improved tl stands of cotton, and given all kinds vegetation quite a start. The burial of Mrs. Mower at Prc perity cemetery, was very largely a tended by the citizens of this plac She had a warm place in the hearts many children here as well as ti adult population.

V A circular letter has been received from Prof. D. B. Johnson, Chairman gi of the Executive Committee of State Teachers' Association, announcing the tl 1 meeting at Anderson and stating that entertainment has been provided. A r The letter is published in full on the e first page of The Herald and News. What better inducements could s teachers want than the ones offered? j The expenses of the trip will be only b r nominal. Only the railroad fare need S be taken into consideration. Teachers, a it is your duty to attend the Associa- b - tion, and besides being a duty it will be a pleasure. It is to be hoped that at least twenty teachers will be at An derson from Newberry County. Such an opportunity may not soon be offered e again. d r Trustees Meeting. The school trustees of the county will be expected at Newberry on the 2nd e Saturday in June. They should come prepared to give their views. on the d different questions concerning the pub lic schools. They ought to know exact ly the condition of the schools under their charge and should be ready to tell what is neaded for their improve ment 1 know that there are many 't things that impair the efficiency of our 1 schools in the country, but I also I s know that they can be made better and i more efficient if they should receive I ie that attention and thought that they so justly deserve. At the meeting in d June let us try to devise some means I to improve not the system so much, but the proper execution of the system. - We should not say that our schools are e doing as well as could be expected, is when there is some room yet ror im provement. About Grammar. 1- A few days ago a certain teacher of te the county while discuesing the worth Is of English Grammar in our schools, n and the best methods of teaching it, took issue with most of our text books a when he doubted the correctness of the 1e sentence: "I feel bad." He argued in 1- this way: "bad" is never used as an ad a verb, "badly" being the correct form. t In the sentence, does not bad tell how r, Ifeel? And if it tells how I feel is it re not a modifier of feelf - And if it is a modifier of feel i' it not correct? ie It seems t. me that wherever the ) idea of being is most prominent in the T verb that the adjective form and not the 1 n adverbia. -ould be used. Suppose we r- take the sentence: "He remained si 3, lent," and in place of silent should use I n silently. It is true that silent seems to tell how he remained, and does not tell i r- how, but at the same time is more 1 a closely connected with the subject, and f Df therefore is a moditier of it. Other son- i is tences might be mentioned to illustrate Is the point, but the one is sufficient.. Will some teacher give me a full ex- I planation, through the Teachers' Col- 1 unie, of sentences;like the ones above mentioned. a The Deadfall SchooL a Tha Deadfall school, Miss Minnie Crooks teacher, closed last Friday with I a school exhibition. We have not a er full programme of the exercises to pub * lish but can say the pupils did very )e well, and that the visitors were all well pleased with the exercises. rn The school has closed until July, 1e when it will open again. Miss Crooks of is doing very good work in our school, and the patrons seem to appreciate it. s- - What should it be Called? & Considerable discussion is being car e ried on in the newspapers as to what h the "War between the States" should e be called. The State Supt. of Educa insists that it be called the "States SRights War." This seems to me to be s-a rather poor name, and to indefinite. re It would have been a state rights war ahad all the Southern States remained hand fought under the same flag as the >r Northern States. They did not do ,this, however, but seceded from the 3~Union and endeavored too establish their independence as a distinct repub r- lic. It was then beyond doubt a war rs for independence, and not so much for st states rights because the Southern s. States by the act of secession were no longer a p art of the Union and there et fore could claim no rights in the Union. n The News and Courier, then was y right when it calls the contest, "The r- War for Southern Independence." It y matters not however what the war be v- called in our school histories. We all h know the causes of it, and can explain them to the pupils. n County Association. ~'The Association will meet at New Sberry on the 1st Saturday, and teach ers must not forget the change of the itime. We hope to have as many or e. more teachers present than at the last 11 meeting.
