ELBERT H. ALLL, EDITon ELBERT H. AULL, Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL, NEWBERRY. S. C. S DAY, UGUST, 1891. The Herald and News goes to press a day earlier this week in order to let the boys in the office all go to Litile Mountain to-day (Wednesday) and buy, each for himself, a summer resi dence lot on its summit. And then, too, to enjoy the big Lutheran reunion. Let's iI go. CLEMSON COLLEGE. The cornerstone of Clemson College was laid last week with imposing cere monies. Speeches were made by Gov ernor Tillman, Maj. G. Lamb Buist, of Charleston, and Col. L. L. Polk, presi dent of the National Alliance. At the same time professors, or a part of them, were elected. The Herald and News does not claim any credit in the work of helping to have the college established, but since the people have had it established, and it is to go into operation, none of its friends desire more for it to be a success than we do,; and none will be more willing to contribute to that end than we will. In the selection of teachers the trus tees have drawn largely from the ranks of our own people. It isa matter of grat ification that Newberry has fared so well in the matter of furnishing men for the faculty. But the trustees could not have done better, and possibly not as well, by going elsewhere. The three Newberry men who are in the faculty are well equipped for their various po sitions and no better selections could have been made. Professor C. W. Welch, who has been elected to the chair of physics, is a na tive Newberrian and a graduate of Newberry College with first honor, in the class of 1879. Immediately after his graduation he began teaching at Prosperity, and soon built up a flour ishing high school at that place. Then, for some three years, he filled very ac ceptably the chair of mathematics in Newberry College. About three years ago he received flattering offers in Texas, and, resigning his place in the College, he went to Texas, where he has been successful as a teacher. At present he holds the position of princi pal of one of the high schools in Hous ton, Texas. Prof. Welch is well fitted for the position to which he has been chosen and from an intimate acquaint ance for the past fourteen years the writer feels safe in saying that no bet ter selection could have been made. Mr. Wms. Welch, who has been elected to the position of drawing, is also a Newberrian and a son of Dr. S. G. Welch, of Helena, and has a talent to a marked degree in his chosen line. He is at present in Paris. Lieut. E. A. Garlington is a son of the late Gen. A. C. Garlington, of this county, and has won~ for himself a amne ar soidier whetis~iiational. For daring, gallantry and soldierly bearing he has no superior in the army. It will be remembered that he was re cently wounded in the arm in a fight with the Indians at Wounded Knee, and has been home on a furlough. In the matter of furnishing material for the faculty, Newberrry has done well. But in another line of work at Clemson, Newberry has done her part through one of her representatives. Governor Tillnman in his address at the cornerstone laying, after having enu merated and pictured the great advan tages that the college would be to all classes in all parts of the State, said: "Recalling all these things, which I have reviewed but very briefly, and feeling as you all do the certain future of Clemson College, I think you will pardon me if I say to you that the debt of gratitude you owe to the trustees of Clemson College will never be fully appreciated. Some of them l.5ve near here and are well known to you. For their work they have all received no pay but their expenses. I think it is due to them to say, in order that it may go out, to whom you are indebted for the business methods pursued here, and through whom you -will have a college at one-half or two thirds of the cost of supervision. Their names are Col. Simpson, Col. Norris and Messrs. Bowen, Orr and Johnstone. The other trustees have come here when we were called upon to devise what steps would advance the affairs of the College, but the work, the wheel horse work, has been done by those five gentlemen." It will be observed that in this comn mxittee of the trustees, who have borne the heat and burden of the day, is Mr. Alan Johnstone, of Newberry. He has spent much time and labor in the per formnance of his duties on this commit tee, and to him as much as any one else is due the success achieved by this comn miittee. -Newberry, it is said, has twenty eight applicatious for admission to the college. Now let everybody go to work to make this institution a grand success. It is established -the State is spending a lot of money on it. It should be re moved from politics and made a grand agricultural college. The scheme should be given a fair test, and we trust the result will be that the college is a great and grand success. The Cotton Plant says our report 01 President Stokes' address at Greenwood was a "fair report" with the exception that we charged the speaker wvith mak ing arguments he did not believe. Well, that wa a conclusion and niol part of the report. Does President Stokes believe the argument, or con clusion, or statement, that he made it his Greenwocd speech about there be ing no possible loss to the governmnen1 even if it did receive only $40 for the cotton, on whi2h it had advanced SSI because the other $411 was in circu. lation? That was the part of the speec1 which we could not see how Presiden Stokes could believe, if he'were to giv< it serious consideration. The Heral< and News claims to be fair. The State of Thursday published; ten column stenographic report of th debate between Senator Butler an. Dr. Stokes at Prosperity last Wednes day.. It wss complete and full, and th Sate deserme credit for thisenterpris4 THEY REFUSE TO RESCIND. It will be remembered that two weeks ago The Herald and News pub lished the proceedings of the County Alliance, and among other things it was stated that a resolution was adopted asking the Liberty Hall Sub Alliance of this cot uty to rescind cer tain resolutions that had been adopted by this Sub-Alliance. Since the met. ing of the County Alliance the Liberty Hall Sub-Alliance has met. At this recent meeting Liberty Hall adopted a resolution declining to rescind, as re quested by the County Alliance. What will be the outcome of this we do not pretend to say, but Liberty Hall standr by her first resolutions and does not grant the request of the County Alli ance in this matter. They take the position, we presume, that the minority has some rights, and they are right. The Newberry Herald and News is as ambitious as a daily. Yesterday morning it published a report of the Prosperity debate of the day before, which was fuller and better than that of any paper in South Carolina-The Sates modestly excepted. It was a notable achievement for our cotem porary.-The State. The enterprising Newberry Herald and News comes to hand to-day with a full report of the meeting at Prosperity yesterday. It must have required some tall "bustling" to do this, but the Herald was equal to the task.-Colum bia Record. The Charleston democracy is split. For a long time there h-s been wrang ling and differences of opinion among them and all sorts of factions, and last week when the convention met the split came. Two conventions were organized. It is a pity that in this time they could not have gotten to gether. There are good men on both sides, but The Herald and News has not kept up with the fight sufficient to take sides and only regrets the results reached, and hopes that the differences may yet be settled and the city democ racy united. If it continues it will likely result in the Republicans elect ing their ticket. Last week The Herald and News published the address of Rev. J. W. Daniel on "A Ramble Among Sur names," delivered before the Alumni Association at the recent commence ment. It was a most excellent pre sentation of the subject and we have no doubt was read with interest. Mr. Daniel has in preparation a book on this line and it will be published shortly. This week we publish the full text of Senator Butler's speech on "The Rights of the Minority." Just at this time a discussion and a presentation of tpis subject wi l be read with interest, and even those who heard Senator Butler deliver it will read it now with interest. We publish this week the report of the debate between Col. Terrell and Gov. Tillmaan as it appeared in the News and Courier. The reporter who furnshedttays-he was not present and did not hear it and did not get it from any Allliance man, and as none but Alliance men were present, there fore wc ~mnnot vouch for its correct ness. The Herald and News has received many complimnents on the iesult of its efforts last week in publishing a full report of the big debate at Prosperity on Wednesday between Dr. Stokes and Senator Butler. It was a big under taking for a modest country weekly and took some hard work, but we don't mind hard work when it is nee essary to furnish the news. To have waited a week to furnish this report the news would have been old and stale. The editor and part of the force worked all night on Wednesday, but got out on time Thursday morning. We ap preciate the kind words received from our friends and contemporaries. Our efforts will never be spared to furnish all the news and the latest news. Dr. Stokes told the editor on Satur day that the report of his speech in The Herald and News last week was correct and accurate, and covered the points as well as, or better than, any re port that was published. The Press and Banner last week pub lished a supplement giving full reports of the meeting of the State Alliance at Spartanburg and also an interview with J. T. Robertson on the meeting. It was a big piece of work. There wvere only three members or thne Liberty Hall Sub-Alliance in favor of rescinding the for ner resolutions adopted by them. The members of Liberty Hall Alliance are free, indepen dent citizens. and while abiding by the constitution of the order, will maintain their right to think and act for them selves on all public questions. The State has won the Coosaw case. Full text of the decision is published elsewhere to-day. TheHerald and News extends its congratulations to Attorney General Pope and his able assistant, Hon. Gieo. S. Mower. The Herald and News hopes to have time and space to answer and satisfy the Cotton Plant before long. However, the Cotton Plant, does not quote us properly and has never yet answered our question of several weeks ago, but of all this w*e will have more hereafter. Death of Rev. Rt. C. Oliver. [News and Courier.] SP'ARTANBUra, August 3.-The Rev. R. C. Oliver died yesterday morning at the home of J. H. Oliver, near Chero kee. He was buried here to-day. It is understood that he made a will leaving the bulk of his property to certain mis sion wvork that he started in Columbia. st. Michael's Old Sextion is Dead. C'IIAURLsToN, S. C., Aug. 1.-John Beesley, sexton for half a century-of St. Michael's church, died yesterday in the 80Sth year of his age. In~him one of the most interesting landmarks of Charleston passed away. SHe was part and parcel o2 St. Michael's, and his intense interest in the church, -and personal knowledge of its history for over half a century made him a leading authority with all tourisats and -sightseers. - ~ COOSAW LOSES THE CA1SE. Chief Justice Fuller Decides in Favor of I the State--Judge Simonton Concurs. [Spoelal to The State.1 GREENVILLE, S. C., August :.-The decision of Chief Justice Fuller in the Coosaw case was received to-day, and Judge Simonton added his concurrence this afternoon. The decision, as will be seen, is a complete knock-out for the "Coosaw octopus," and a signal victory for .he State. The following is the de cision in full: STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, ex rel, TILLMAN et. al. vs. THE CoosAW MINING COMPANY. Two motions have been argued: 1. To remand. 2. To continue the order granting a preliminary injunction and appointing a receiver. My conclusions are: 1. That upon the face of this record the motion to remand ought not to be entertained. The question of jurisdic tion was adjudict.Led by this court on the 21st of April, 1891, and cannot be re-examined at this stage of the pro ceedings. But if the question were open the result would be the same, as I concur in the opinion of the district judge, filed here on April 21, 1S91. (45 Fed. Rep., 804.) The motion to reanud is therefore overruled. 2. As to the motion to continue, &c., the contention of the defendant is that it has, by contract with the State, in vir tue of the act of 1875, the exclusive right to mine all the phosphate rock with in a defined part of the Coosaw River, for all time, at a royal'y of one dollar per ton. The defendant carried on its mining operations prior to 1876, in the particular locality, under an act of 1870, which gave the right to mine for the full term of twenty-one years at $1 per ton. The act of 1876 made the right exclusive, and it is argued, perpetual, because it was provided that defendant (as well as other companies) should have the right, "sO long and no longer," than it should make the returns and pay the royalty prescribed. The royalty thus referred to was fixed by the act of 1870. It was decided in State vs. Pacific Guano Company (22 S. C. 50,) that the rule of construction applicable to the right to mine in the beds of navigable streams containing phosphate deposits is the ordinary one in the instance of grants of public rights, namely, that the grant is to be construed strictly in favor of the State and against the grantee. I concur in that view, and applying the rule here, it forbids the conclusion that the lcgislature in tended an indefinite grant by the terms used. The act of 1876 must necessarily be read in connection with that of 1870, and this being done, it seems clear that the duration of th' exclusive right, as claimed, was not thereby enlarged. This conclusion is strengthened by an examination of the many acts in rela tions to phosphate mining referred to on the hearing of this motion, which show the policy of the State to have been to limit the duration of the right to mine-a policy which it cannot be properly held the State intended to depart from by the Act of 1876. It follows that the claim of the defendant to the exclusive right to mine within the mentioned territory, indefinitely, at one dollar per ton, cannot be sus tained. 3. This being so, and in view of the provisions of the Act of 1890, an injunc tion ought to go against the defendant, restraining it, as prayed, until it shall take out a license under the latter Act and otherwise comply therewith, and such an order may be substituted for the order made by the State court, which should be vacated, so far as is inconsistent with the order so entered. 4. Pending the filing of the foregoing memorandum and the entry of the order therein agreed to, the parties having agreed to submit the case on 4he-ering- aIready had, a on the merits, and f1reit. stipulation-iA that behalf having been duly considered, a final judgment and decree may be en tered in accordance with the result above indicated. MELVILLE WV. FULLER, August 3, 1891. Chief Justice. JUDGE SIMONTON'S CONCURRENCE, Simon::on, J., concurring : The acts of 1870 and ]876 must be construed in par-i maturia. Under the first act the State gave the grantees, for twenty-one years, the right to mine in its navigable streams. This grant was upon the condition that the grantees should pay annually $1 a ton on each ton dug and mined, and that they should make a return of their opera tions annually, or oftener if required. This was not an exclusive right. (Bradley vs. The Phosphate Co., 1 Hughes.) It was upon condition, that is to say, it existed so long and no longer than the conditions were ful filled. The act of 1876 proposed a modification of this contract in four~ particulars : 1. The time for making the returns was definitcly fixed as the end of each month. This was an advantage to both the parties. 2. The royalty was made payable on each ton dug, mined and shipped, not on the rock mined. This was in favor of the grantees. 3. The royalty was made payable quarterly, not annually-this provision to go into efiect immediately and the royalty for the two quarters of the cur rent year to be paid at once. This was in favor of the State. 4. The right to mine thereto, if not exclusive, was made exclusive upon the acceptance of the State's proposals. The original contract was unchanged in every other respect. The royalty re mained the same-$1 per ton. The grant was wholly on condition-that is "so long as and no longer than" the conditions were fulfilled. The dura tion of this grant, during which these conditions were of force, was .un changed, twenty-one years from 1870. This is a reasonable construction of a doubtul act, by which the doubt is re solved in favor of the sovereign gran tor. It is a familiar rule of construc tion that when a statute operates as a grant of public property to an individ ual, or the relinquishment of a public interest, and tnere is no doubt as to the meaning of its terms, or as to its gen eral purposes, that construction will be adopted which shall support the claim of the government rather than that of the individual. "Nothing can be en forced against the State." (Field, J., vs. Slidel, grand juror, III U. B., 137.) EX-SENATOR SAWYER DEAD. He Was Trying to Grow Up in a New Country. MIDDLESBORo, Ky., July 31.-Word has just been received in this city of the sudden death this afternoon, at Shaw ne, Tenn., ofex-United States Senator Sawyer, of South Carolina. The sena tor died suddenly at 3 o'clock this after noon, at the Shawnee Hotel. He was largely interested in the development of this section of this country, and owned considerable land. He emigrated South from the East during the period of reconstruction. Sawyer was a school teacher, who wa a decent enough fellow while lie stuck to his books. When his neighbors were put under the rod of Republican oppression Sawyer deserted the men who had fed him and became a Repub lican. As a reward for his adhesion to negro rule, he was rewarded with a seat in the United States Senate, where he distinguished himself by voting himself back salary to which he was not entitled. He grew sick of this company, how ever, and losing favor, lost his place. H:ethen figured around the departments for a few years, and finally drifted off into obscurity. It is needless to sy that he never returned to live among the people whom he had betrayed. SLNSSTION IN COLUMBIA. lewspaper Articles Cause Bad Blood Be tween Mr. N. C. Conzales of The State aid Mr. M. F. Tighe of The News and Courier, Leading to a Personal Encounter and Blows. [From the Columbia Register, 4th.] The quiet monotony of summer life in >ur city was suddenly, but not unex pectedly, broken pesterday afternoon by a yersonal encounter between Mr. M. F. Tighe, the Columbia corre?pon dent of the News and Courier, and Mr. N. G. Gonzales, managing editor of the State. The affair occurred about half past 6 o'clock in front of the News and Courie r Bureau office, and naturally enough in a few minutes after itsoccur rence it was known from one end of the town to the other and was the theme of all tongues. The casus belli, as the lawyers say, was primarily certain newspaper arti eles which have latterly appeared in the columns of the News and Courier over the initials of Mr. Tighe, and cer tain editorial utterances in the State. Mr. Tighe. intimated that a Columbia daily, presumably the State, had Re publican tendencies and always re ceived the first news of any important Republican movements. To this the State responded yesterday morning in an editorial in which, among other things, the following references were made to Mr. Tighe: "Mr. Tighe has had the opportunity to know - and knows.that thestate is owned exclusively by Democrats, that its editorial policy is abso lutely controlled by the man whose nsme ap pears at the head of its editorial columns,and whom no one dare accuse to his face'bf being other than a Domocrat of the str'itest sect; that it advocates the Democracy of Jefferson without swerving or cessation, and that it has no connection whatever with any other paper. Democratic or Republican, directly or indi rectly. rcn making what every one will recognize as insinuations to the cutrary, Mr. Matthew F. Tighe, the correspondent or the Charleston News and Courier in this city, has been guilty of a sneaking slander,unredeemed by the sen, blance of truth. "If Mr. Matthew F. Tighe, in what he has sent to the News and (ourier, did not intend to insinuate that the State was in some nmanner tamed by Republican connections, and for that reason introduced it into a business dif ferent between the owners of the Record, then he is an idiot. "It on the other hand-and his reference to the State as an 'alleged' Democratic paper bears out the supposition-lie did intend to impugn the Democracy of this newtpaper, he is a knave." The editorial in question also charged that Mr. Tighe had sought a position on the staff of the State and asserted that he was not in sympathy with the Tillman party, and that if he had voted in the general election he would have voted for Judge Haskell. It also charged that Mr. Tighe desired to take stock in the State, and as late as the mouth of May was still seeking a position on its staff. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Tighe sent Mr. Gonzales a note in which he told him that he could not escape a fight with him as he had escaped one with Mr. Talbert and Mr. Gandy, and that, although he did not go armed, he would meet Mr. Gonzales wherever and when ever he pleased, and with any weapon he pleased, and that he did not carry "the stilletto of t'he Spaniard"; at least such is said to be the contents of the letter, but as neither the sender nor the receiver of it have given it out for pub lication the above may not be literally correct. Upon receipt of the letter Mr. Gon zales procured a cowhide, and in com pany with W. H. Gibbes, Jr., sought Mr. Tighe, who was at the time sitting in front of the News and Courier office. Sheriff Rowan, who bad a few minutes previous come up, seeing Mr. Gonzales approaching him with the cowhide sticking out of his pocket, said hurried ly to him, "None of that N. G.," and as he spoke Mr. Gonzales struck at Mr. Tighe and they immediately clinched. They were momentarily separated by the Sheriff, but got together again, and according to the accounts of several by standers, including the Sheriff', Mr. Tighe struck Mr. Gonzales several blows in the face and Mr. Gonzales also struck Mr. Tighe several times, but they were again separated, but neither of them appeared to be the much worse for the encounter. Both were sum moned to appear before the mayor this morning for disorderly conduct. and fighting on the streets, but thus far no further steps have been taken to pre vent any repetition of the encounter. Sheriff Rowan stated last night to a Register reporter that the rumor that he had posted -himself at the The News and Courier office for some time before the difficulty in anticipation of it was positively without foundation in fact. He says that he left his office to go home by a back street, and remen ber ing some business matter changed his mind and weut around on Main street. He had been at the office but a few minutes when the encounter took place as above mentioned. KILLED IN A WRECK. Death of the E: -' and Fireman--The Ashev ille Expr,. .tuns Into a FreIght Train with Fatal Resulte-DeathI of the Engineer and Flreman. [Special to Greenville News.] CHARLESTON, S. C., August 1--The dead bodies of Harry Brissenden and Wesley G. Brown, engineer and fireman on the South Carolina railway, reached here at 11 a. m. to-day, bringing the first news to the general public of a terrible crash that occ~urred at 11.40 o'clock last night at Ridgeville. A collision occurred between the down Asheville express and an outgoing freight train, the first being in charge of Conductor Gilbert. IThe story as told by Fireman Johnson, who is badly bruised and the only survivor of the engine crew, is as follows: The express reached Ridgeville at 11.4) on schedule time, having the right of track. The freight train was ust pulling on the side track. Eight cars and the locomotive were on the side track and twenty cars were on the main track. The engineer and fireman of the express saw a red light just a noment before the locomotive crashed into the freigh t train, too late to reverse the locomotive. The engineer put on the air brakes and leaped from the locomotive. Brown followed him." Johnson says he couldin't get out and braced himself against the coal bunker. He was buried under the coal when the crash camie but it saved his ife. Brown had his neck broken by the fall andi Brissenden was also fatally in jured. He died before lhe wa taken from the wreck. Nothing has yet been heard from the flagman and engineer of the freight train. An inquest was held at Ridge Mr. Brissenden was 42 years old and was one of the best and most popular engineers on the road. On October 7th, 187 he drove the same locomotive which was wrecked, making the fastest trip ever made over the South Caro lina road, from Columbia to Charleston, 140 miles in 170 minutes. He was also engineer of the train which was de. railed at Langley by the earthquake on AAugust 31st, 1886. Four years ago he ran over a child near Rowesville, the scene of his death, and the incident miade alasting impression on hinm. He leaves a family of several children. Fireman Brown was 24 years of age nd was a son of John D. Brown, ser geant-at-armns of the House of Repre sentatives. He had been in the employ f the company several years and was about to be promoted. He was not regularly on duty but was oh his way to Charleston, after a trip up the road. His remains will be sent to Columbia for interment. Travel over the line was interrupted only a few hours. Ten Acres to the Mule.
