ELBERT -IL AULL, EDrTor. ELBERT H. AULL, Proprietors. W3I P. HOUS.AL, NEWBERRY. S. C. THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1S91. "Ii -UNION THERE IS STRENGTH." To advance the interest -of a commu nity or a town, the people of that com hnunity or that town, must work to: gether-for-its-advancement. No town can succeed when the people do not unite their efforts for the general good. "In union there is strength." There is Ztrth- in this and all will, readily see and realize it. One. enterprising man cannot do much by himself, but if several get together and unite. their efforts they can accomplish much and no one individual will feel the strain. In this connection we desire to con mend .the public spirit of the citizens of Sumter. Thistown was handsomely represented and- advertised at the recent Columbia Centennial. Upon the return of the committee to Sumter the citizens held a meeting and gave the committee a banquet, and there was no grumbling or complaining. The committee was commended and the citizens determined to look forward and press onward;for the best interests of their town. Among others the fol lowing resolution was unanimously adopted by the-meeting: That this meeting resolve itself into committee of the whole to consider the best means of securing the.future pros perity of Sumter, and that be shall be our chief who shall do most to secure > that end!" There is no kicking or grumbling or carping, but there .is union of effort. This is the spirit to build up a town. We-hear -that 'in another town that has been growing rapidly in material *ec reently,.ne of..the first things dope at every public meeting is to ap- s Noit a committee to put out an *.. the ickers, and t uence I have 'and the town I growing. L.t Newberry take: the hint and ge - a-tnve on. MONUIENT.TO DAVIS. At the last meetitg of the Souther Press Associaton it was decided torais money to erect a suitable mo,numen to the memory of Jefferson Davis. I committee was appointed and has is sued an address to the public. It ha been decided to hold a meeting in eact town and county in the Southerr States, on June 18, for the purpose o: taking steps, and ra'sing the necessars funds for this purpose. Newberry had an enthusiastic me morial :service in December, 1889, or > the occasion of the death of Mr. Davis and we have no doubt will take pleas. uire in aiding and contributing to this laddabl4 work begun by the' Southern * Press Essociation. Itwould be a good idea if Newberry isto take any part in this work-if it wonid-be taken in charge by the survi vers associai'n. The time for the meeting is short and w,iat is to -be done must be done quick. ly. This is'said to be an off year in poli tics, but there seems to be no .rest and everything is kept lively. Charleston -'- politics has been kept in a turmoil nearly all the year, but some time ago the two factidus got together~ and ap paenl Imd peace. The lastten days, however, ha-fe stirred things again. Governor Tillmian ordered the - re mnoval of one Mr. Cantwell, Supervisor of Registration, on the ground that he J. held another office, and one man could nthold two. We should think that was sufficient reason, for even with one ~. offlee to the= manathere are not half enough'offices to- go round. But Mr. CrtWell said he would not be removed iany such'manner, and he forthwith em ploys a Charleston lawyer and . the questIon is to be taken into the United States court. -The Charleston -lawyer is in good luck this year.. The -Governor- seems to get a little "ofP':over the attitude of Mr. Cant ' wel, aid says to a newspaper man that 7 Mr. Cantwell "is a fool." Well, the Governor should not have said that but h'e is right, one office is-enough for one man;there are too many who;want' office to make any monopoly of the thing, and then this administration is opposed to monopolies too. Gen. Wade Hainpton has gone to Canada to have a little fun salmon - fishing. The Marion Star begins its 46th vol umne with bright prospects ahead of it,. and is not -too old to acknowledge its age; in fact it seems rather proud of its years and well- it may.: The Herald * and News begs to extend its congrat ulations and to wish our cotemporary many returns. Cat. J. H. Kinsler, of Richland County, and late a candidate for Pro- - bate - Judge in that county, has been elected alliance lecturer for the fourth Congressional district. It was stated in a dispatch to the State from Charleston on Saturday last that all tle banks in Charleston hadt refused to loan the County Treasurer any money.. and it wa the general uin derstanding with all the banks in the State to boycott the administration. . The Herald and News trusts this ru is without foundation in fact. We the good to come to the - ne else by such a course. heleased wire Aspecial ti dthe si THE FAMOUS JONES CASE. One of the most noted criminal cases in the history of South Carolina is that of R. T. Jones, late of Edgefield. He killed three Pressleys in Edgefield a few years ago-father and two sons, and has been, tried several times, but in nearly- every case resulting In mis trial. He was convicted once and sentenced to twenty years, but his counsel secured a new trial. The case has been continued time after time. The latest move was to transfer it from Edgefield to Lexington County, and Mr. Jones is now in Lexington jail. Solicitor Nelson notified Governor Tillman that there was great difficulty in securing the attendance of witnesses because their pay would not cover ex penses and suggested that the Governor devote some of his contingent fund to help meet this expense. Governor Tillman readily assented and wrote the following letter: "My dear Sir: Your letter of yester day, asking that arrangements be made for paying the expenses of witnesses in the Jones case came to hand this morning. I am very anxious that no delay shall occur in bringing that mat ter to an end and I will pay out of the contingent fund a sufficient per diem to each of the States witnesses to cover actual expenses, not to exceed the anount named by you, $85. I do this with the express understanding that you will insist on a trial at any and all hazards. "Yours very truly, B. R. TLT.MA1." The Governor is right. This case should be ended. It has beeu on hand long enough. Some termination should be reached. Jones ought either be con ricted or, acquited. There is no use of his long delay. The newspaper should not try ases, but if juries did their duty here would not be so much complaint >f the law's delays. General Wade Hampton though out >f politics himself still has a lively in erest in the politics of the country, and ,ives expression to his views. In ent talk he says ' L "disturb bout Ln.rd party movement. I a it will not amount to much in t L. south, when the light of intellige Siscussion is-turned upon it. A par founded on one idea, and that a fal s one, he doesnot think can survive lon The subtreasury plan, he says, is n t only-impracticable and unwise, but unconstitutional. All that is necessaz to destroy it is to discuss it and expo its absurdity and unconstitutionalit The best lawyers in the senate, he say i agree that it is not constitutional. GeneralHampton says that Clevelar still holds the hearts of the people : the south, though they have not a liked his utterances on the silver que tion. It is possible that-his silver lett may injure him in the conventioz but, the sens tor thinks, he will be ti democratic nominee. He says he do not believe that Harrison will be r nominated by the republicans and ad< that the southern trip in his opinior has not benefitted him. The senatc regards Blaine as a strong possibility. The Augusta Chronicle is still a ardent admirer of our Governor.] keeps standing at the head of its ed torial columns the following sentimer of Governor Tillman: - "I am a Democrat pure and simple I believe in fighting for reforms insid of the party lines, and nothing outsid of them, and I believe any attempt t organize a -third party in this State, c in. the- South, would be an absolut failure." And these are the sentiments of th great1ody of the white people in SoutI Carolina. The Herald and News publishes thi week the constitution adopted by-th State Survivors Association. Wha about an association for Newberr: County, or have we one now and whi are the officers? Our local cotemporary suggests Gov ernor Tillmnan for, or rather inidicatei that he .may be, Vice-President of th4 United States. Our neighbor -is a prophet of some note in these matters. Away back yonder when Capt. Tillman did nol want office, the Observer brought hing forward in a similar manner for Gov ernor, we believe the first to "suggest'" his name. Have t you been reading '"The Cob Pipe" in The Herald and News by Dr. Mayer? If not, you should at once secure a co-py. After this article Dr. Mayer will begin again his interesting sketches of Dutch Fork. Will Governor Tillman please furnish the press the number of his pass on the Spartanburg and Columbia railroad? Spartanburg Herald. Inquire if it is not No.]L On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week the railroads of the State were given a hearing before the board of as sessors at Columbia to present their side of the case against the proposed increase in assessment. The board has not yet rendered a decision. The in arease proposed would amount to about $8,000,000 in the valuami n of the rail oad property of the State..I is a big war and will be fought to the end. There are only three species of prop ~rty in South Carolina that are to be issessed at their full value for taxation -railroads, banks and dogs. A gen leman suggests that the first is a pub ic necessity, the second a public con enience, and the third a public nui ance.

Leach. 1.--General 'ngton, A CHARLESTON REMOVAL. Supervisor Cantwell Gets His Head Chop ped Oft-He Held Two Offices at the Same Tine. [Columbia Record, May 2th.] The "Reformers" in Charleston scored a point against the "Ring" to day and succeeded in having Super visor of Registration W. P. Cantwell removed from office. This afternoon G. W. Dingle and J. M. Eason, of Charleston, called on the Governor and presented him with a copy of a resolution adopted by the Charleston ballot reform executive committee asking the removal of Mr. Cantwell. They brought it to the Gov ernor's attention that Cantwell also held the office of clerk of the board of county commissioners. The Governor at once referred the matter to the Attorney General, after which he addressed the following letter ta Mr. Cantwell : "It bas been called to my attention that you are clerk of the board of coun ty commissioners, while at the same time you have held the office of supervi sor of;registration. In theopinion of the Attorney General one man cannot hold two offices legally, and you are, there fore, removed from the office of supervi visor of registration, and will turn over all public property belonging to said office, remaining in your possession, to the present board of commissioners of registration. the committee suggested Hall T. McGhee as Mr. Cautwell's successor. SUPERVISOR CANTWELL WILL RESIST. [Special to The State.] CHARLESTON, S. C., May 28.-Mr. W. P. Cantwell, Supervisor of Regis tration, will not passively submit to Governor Tillman's decree removing him from office. He has advertised to open the registration office next Mon day. He anticipates arrest, and has retained Messrs. Brawley & Barnwell, J. P. K. Bryan, and Smythe & Lee to defend him. GOVERNOR TILLMAN APPOINTS GEO. W. wILLIAMS. [Special to Greenville News.] CHARLESTON, S. C., June 1.-Gover nor Tillman delivered a coup de grace in disputed supervisor mat ter to-day. He sent down a special messenger whb is morning and dand to George W. Williams his f pointment as deputy supervisor of ri listration. Mr. Williams accepted a ie this morning opened the books of rE nt istration at Market Hall, having fi ty posted a notice on Cantwell's offi se door, telling voters to come to 1 g. (Williams') for their certificates. t Cantwell, through his attorne3 Is made a demand on the commissione y for the books, but no attention w 3e paid to him and Mr. Williams toot T. half dozen clerks from his bank al S, started to issue registration certificat with lightning like rapidity. The d clerks were assisted by several neg n federal supervisors who filled out tJ 11 tickets and passed them to Mr. W Sliams for his signature. The negro soon got wind of the matter and floc44 to Market hail in great numbei e Certificates were issued rapidly and t 2 p. m., the hour of closing, it is thoug] between 500 and 600 had been regit s ered. The names of many were take k with the understanding that the certi it cates will be issued them later. Vei few white men could get in. About 10 o'clock Cautwell opened h u office and took down the names t about fifty white voters who ap'pliedi him but he could not issue the certif cates, not having the books. t At the rate Deputy Supervisor Wi liams registered voters to-day it wi take but a very short while to wipe 01 the present white majority of regitere voes t isnot yet developedwh Slegal steps, if any, will be taken b r Cantwell, who still claims to hold tij office of supervisor. TERRETX TA LRS. The Alance Lecturer Gives Dis Views the Thi::d Party. The State of the 31st May had th following expression from Hon. Bet Terrell, the Alliance lecturer, who ha I been it' South Carolina for some tim lecturing: "He says he finds the Aliiance il South Carolina in good shape, and a all his meetings there has been a .good attendance. -When asked of his opinion of th< Third party movement and prob'abilit; of the Alliance entering it he said: 'A; an Allianceman 1 tell you we are not te have anything to do with it. It i against our constitution to meddle wit! any paty whatever. Politics is de bre. But don't understand me t< say that the individual members can not do as they please.' He then, as an 'ordinary citizen,' saic that the strength of the Third party de pendad on conditions-if either of the two old parties came out with a plat fornfgranting the demands made by the Third party advocates, it will nlo] develop very, great strength. Other wise it is destined to gain strength as it lasts. The Western States are strong for it; Kansas, both the Dakotas, Colo rado and Nebraska are all most certain to go solid-for it. 'If the demands for financial reform are not granted,' he said, 'the movement will be hit like a cyclone. I'm a native Texan, and always voted the democratic ticket, but I see men everywhere *who will bolt unless reform is granted and 1 travel from Dakota to Florida. The party which.-attempts to confine the campaign of 1892 to the discussion of the tariff is mad. It's impossible. The people have the devil in their necks for financial reform and you can no more stop them than turn the direction of water flowing in a river. The money question is obliged to come in.' Mr. Terrell then went on to say that he always did his best for the interest of the people and indicated that finan cial reform was just the thing needed. In fact he indicates very strongly that he is heartily in sympathy with the movement. Then touching on the Alliance again he said the newspapers by attacking it helped it more thian anything else. He explained the system to which the na tional work had been reduced and gave other .teresting facts. He touched up loca' y sities a little and talked very freely on all matters. Professor McElroy's Card. The Laurensville Herald prints two cards from Professor McElroy regard ing the matter between Professor Evans and himself. They are as follows: "STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County of Laurens. f "As far as my reference to Baskelite in my article, as referring to Professor Evans, I do say that it was not intended to offend him, individually, or as a man.

[Logansport, Ind., Journal, May 2th.] kt's Rarely indeed does (he coning of the dread imiessenger of death produce ' l Pu so profouiin an effect on a community or create so many expressions of sor- I row as did the sudden and untimely "C death of Rev. A. B. McMackin Friday ' in afternoon, May 22. Although Mr. Me- ful Mackin has been here little more than of two years he had gained for himself a shi very wide circle of warm friends who got mourn to-day the sad death of their ;in friend, companion, counselor. During Mr. McMakin's brief residence here he T had attached unto himself a larger S personal following that manny men hi could gain in a life time. His death is sad, sad indeed and the commurity a mourns with his heart-broken widow, his two interesting little sons, and the aged mother, whose only son is thus ] plucked untimely from her widowed cal old age. thi Last week Rev. McMackin enjoyed to : a few days outing with a reverend friend and comrade, fishing and hunt ing at one of the pretty little lakes which dot the northern part of the tre. State. He returned Friday evening tr declaring that he never felt better, and - boasting that he weighed more than! an ever before. On Saturday he busied .P( himself in preparing his Sunda'y dis- '1 course and in working on the coming Se issueof his St. Luke's Lutheran Herald. lit He arose at 4 o'clock Sunday morning livc feeling in superb health, and said that Du he would put the finishing touches on Th his sermon. Strangely enough the text sch he had selected for the sermon he was get working on when stricken with his fatal illness was Job 5: 9.-"He shall deliver three from six troubles; yea in 4 seven troubles there shall no evil touch C thee." . . Ne About an ho..r after arising Mr. Mc- ah Mackin was seized with- excruciating the pains in the bowels, which continued to fl grow worse. His pain was so great dur- Ina ing his brief illness that he was kept ber under the influence of opiates nearly p all the time. The physicians were not A fully decided what tne trouble was, but plac knew that the only chance-and that yav was meager.indeed-of saving him was a delicate surgical operation. Friday morning Dr. Eastman, the emi fit surgeon from Indianapolis, arriv and assisted by Drs. Cady, Bell nd Powell performed operation. An Ina incision was made and the ed trouble was found to be what is known p. technically as suppurative appendicitis -the appendix vermiformis, that ad strange little member which scientists have been at a loss to account for, hav ing suppurated. The pus discharged ce from this suppuration had caused a lis high state of inflammation. which no medical skill could alleviate. Dr. E ist man declared at once that the case was rs hopeless and that the ailment was fatal as from the start, that an earlier opera a tion would have been unavailing. Rev. Id McMackin did not revive after the es operation and continued to sink until se at 1:4.5 p. m. death relieved his suffer ro ings'. e * * * * l- The remains were interred near Mr. es McMackin's birthplace at Newcaners d town, Ohio, Sunday at 2 o'clock, a s. number of the church members from y here accompanying his grief-stricken It widow and children and aged mother t- to the scene of interment. n Amasa McMackin was a noble man. ..
