ELBERT . AULL, ErDITU. ELBERT H. AULL. ( Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL, NEWBERRY. S. C, SAVINGS BANIs. There is nothing the South so much needs to learn and practice as habits of economy and saving. We, as a rule, make plenty, but we have not learned to save it. One of the greatest educa tors in this line is savings banks. We have one in Newberry, and we trust our people who desire to put by small portions of their earnings are taking advantage of it. We would like to see tried here a nickle savings bank, a place where every school child could have a bank account. In this way our children would be brought up with habits of economy and saving incul cated from their earliest realization of the value of a nickle. There is room for just such an institution in Newber ry. Properly managed it would soon be found that there was a demand for it. The following on this subject is from the Baltimore Maoufacturer's Record: "The savings'banks nf Baltimore have $39,000,000 to the credit of 124,000 de positors, an average of about $315 each. It is a habit of Baltimoreans, however moderate tieir circumstances, to save little by little and to deposit it in some savings bank, and the result is seen in this great total of nearly $40,000,000. The South must do the same thing. Its people must be trained to save, and instead of hiding their money away where it brings them no returns and yields no benefits to the .community, they must 1,e educated to the use of savings banks. The amount of idle money now hid away in the South would, if it could be aggregated in this way, be of immense advantage to this whole section." Governor Tillman has cut off The State from any interviews or other in formation he may have to give out, ex cept such as is merely routine. The publication of his tax returns and the expenditures ; :.he money for repairs, improvements, etc., to the executive mansion was too much for him. He does not like it. Ordinarily these mat ters would not have been published, but these are extraordinary times, and under all the circumstances are but what we might expect. But then our Governor should not be angry. A man who lives in glass houses should not throw stones. This is a good old maxim and Governor Tillman should have known that his we a glass house be fore he threw so mnan. s;ones. yan Act of the last Legislature the tof the Asylum were re'iuced to five, and they were to to see which four should was to be done as soon as e Ameeting was held last wer avrsetodrawing lots and a ma jority f~avoured resigning and leaving the matter to the Governor to fill the vacancies. But as there was not a full board present the whole thing was postponed to a future meeting. Our Governor is making the execu tive mansion a very flower garden and picture gallery from the amount of flower seed and the number of pictures he has been buying. These tbings will all add to the pleaire and happiness c.:'his successor. But the comb and dish p:Ln will not be of much service to his auccessor, but then our Governor ought to comb his hair and have his dishes washed.".If not we would like to know why not? Prince Albert Victor, heir presump tive to the throne of England died on the 14th instant. He was to have been married soon. Senator Strait, of Lancaster, has about concluded to oppose Congress man Hemphill for Congress, so it ie said. The Greenville News is urging upon the press of the State the imnortance of working up an interest in the matter of having South Carolina represented at the World's Fair in 1893. It wih oe .remembered that the Legislature-the supposed representatives of the people --refused to make the small appropria tion of $15,000 in order to have the State represented. The Herald and News believes the State ought to be represented on that occasion. It be lieves the Legislature did not repre sent the sentiment of the people in re fusing to make the appropriation for that purpose. It is willing and ready now, however, to do whatever it can to aid in having the State properly repre sented. Now, if the News will just formulate some plan we will give it what cooper ation is ini our powver to carry it to a successful.termiination. The Herald and News has received the following circular. If any of our readers of the Jewish faith have any information they cani furnish MIr. Levy, they wvill "act as hie requests. We publish the letter in full. It is an imiportant m~atter: Decmber, 1891l. Dear Sir: H-aving been assignedl to the duty of co-operating with Hon. Simon WXolfe, of W ashmgton City, in prep)aring a rec~ordi of the Soldie.rs and Sailors of the Jewish faith wvho served in the late eivil war: I respectfully ask your aid and that of your readers, in furnishing at once the names, comi panies, regiments, and arm of service of the men who fouight in the armiies and navy of the Confederacy. These names, properly classified, will be published in book form, and de.pos ited in the archives of our Government, as a testimonial of the loyalty and pa triotism of the JTews of the United States. Those who fought for the "Lost Cause" need no apologist. Address, EUGENE H. LEvY, (Army Northern Virginia.1 Press Club. New York. Senator Strait, of Lancaster, has about concluded to oppose Congress man Hemphill for Congress, so it is The editor of the Abbeville Medium, who is also Senator from Abbeville countv, says that he voted for the ap propriation to Clemson College, but since we have had a few weeks of bad weather lie is about convinced that his judgment was wrong, and that it is well the appropriation was not made as the work could not have been com pleted by February anyway. But without the money the work stops for a whole year, or more, and surely the bad weather will not last that long. The college is to br completed and this break in the work and the disbanding of the forces is poor ecomomy, to say nothing of the loss of a year to the young men all over the State who were making preparations to enter this college. Judging from the quality - the print ing of the reports that are issued by the Clemson Experimental Station, great economy is being practiced in this department. The query naturally arises, is it economy for so important a branch to issue such daubs and mis representations of the typographical art?-Aiken Journal and Review. Simular thoughts ran through our mind when we received copies of the report several days ago. The printing is very poor. Hon. G. Washington Shell is getting in a little work at Washington. He has secured places for two of his con stituents, one of them a woman. He has been there only a month.-Abbe ville Medium. This we presume is to be taken as an evidence of statesmanship and as effi ciency in a Congressman. The Abbeville Medium says that the reform legislature has reduced taxes and cites as an instance that the levy in Abbeville County is now 91 mills, whereas under the former administra tion it was 11' mills. L is not the amount of the levy that shows econo my, but the amount of appropriations. As the amount of property increases the levy decreases, but a lower levy may bring more money.' The question we would like to have our contempo rary answer is whether the appropria tion bill is less than formerly, and also to show us where the saving in expen ditures comes in. That is the place to test the matter, 93 mills may raise more money than 111 mills. The Herald and News would be pleased to have some one to answer the facts and figures given elsewiere by "Civis." From figures and a-gument used by him, the free coinage of silver will not help the people, except those few who are interested in the mining of silver. According to "Civis" the free coinage will not increase the circula tion either. We would be glad to have some one who is familiar with the facts to answer and explain the point raised by "Civis." "Special order for Thursday, the 3d day of December, 1891, at 1 o'clock p. in., and from day to day urrtil dis posed of. "No. 21. A bill to reduce the sala ries of the State officers, clerks and em ployees." The above is a verbatim copy of the first item of the Senate Calendar of the last Legislature. The item appeared on the calendar each day and on the last night of the session was indefinitely postponed. Editor Stokes has joined the other "newspaper doctors" and "cranks." as he terms them, and the last issue of the Cotton Plant, advises the farmers to plant less cotton. If you don't, believe it is good advice, brother, yotu should pro test against it, even though you see the people are inclined to adopt the adviec of these "cranks." It is more manly to resist the current than to drift with the stream. But we always welcome other "cranks" to our ranks. On the first page may be found the rules governing the primary election and the call for the State Convention. They were prepared by the special comn mittee, consisting of Senator Irby, Speaker Jones and Clerk Pope. If they suit the people we can stand them. There is no chance for a negro to vote. It would have been wiser and simpler just to have said so in plain English. We doubt if any one of the committee could prove by ten white men that he Ivoted the Democratic ticket continu ously since 187'. You had better preserve this copy of The Herald and News so asto have the rules convenient. A man who intends to rule or gov ern by the force of his own will should Inot have many confidantes and should not to" too much. We offer this ad vice to our Governor free and make no charge for it. The Alliance, or rather that portion in Georgia that is pledged to a third party, wants Congressman Watson to run for Governor on the third party platform. That will hardly suit MIr. Watson, as he has already purchased a $10,00 home in Washington and has settled down there to the work of re forming Congress. That was rather a small advantage the committee, to formulate rules for the government of the primaries, took of the State in giving the information to the other dailies and not to it, espe ialy as a reporter made application for he mat ter. The Executive Committee ought to reeber that it is presumed to repre sent the entire Democracy of the State, and such things as this will not help to bring about a reunited people. It is ver ditliculIt, however, for some people 1to rise above self. Te Palmetto Brewery of Charles ton was destroyed by fire on Sunday ast. T1he property was worth nearly 1U, I00. The work of rebuilding has already been commenced. r. WV. M1. Wilson, of Peak, has an eye to business.

Well this rewinds usof ir a good old brother of whom we have heard, who once preached in the lower t, section of this county. le was said to p be a good preacher when it came to 01 precept, but not much by example, and he realized this fact himself.

I To the Editor of The Herald and pt News: Why do the silver barons of the Rocky Mountains demand the free and of unlimited coinage of silver? The fol- ly lowing brief statement will, I think, ti answer this quest'on clearly and t6 fully. According to the latest official esti- fo mate; the annual product of the Amer- tL ican silver mines amounts to 54,516,300 at ounces. The present value of silver bul- re lion in New York is about 94 cents per ar ounce. At the present market price as then the American product of silver te would be worth $51,245,322. But at the ol present ratio of 371 grains pure silver, tL or 412 grains nine-tenths fine, to the as dollar, the American product would of make up into $70,4 4,124. The differ- bt ence is $19,236,S02. se As the law now stands the gov- gi ernment buvs the silver at the market w price, (just as it buys supplies for the army and navy), and coins it on its r own account, so that this $19,238,SO2 is i net profit to the government-that is, ti, to the entire people, and saves them ti from just that amount of taxation per w annum. But suppose the law changed, w as these silver barons demand, so as to fa give us free silver coinage instead! In It that case this entire net profit of $19, 238,802 per annum, would go into the already well-tilled purses of thes.e silver barons. Is it any wonder, then, that A these millionaire barons, like Senators Stewart and Jones of Nevada, and Teller and Wolcott of Colorado, clamor so loudly for free silver coinage, and will be placated with nothing less? The m stake is over $19,000,000 per annum; ni certainly enough to whet the appetite rt and corrupt the moral sense of these s sordid, avaricious millionaires. Their fr reason, then, for demanding free silver ai coinage, and for their almost superhu man efforts to uislead the people and of corrupt legislation, is entirely.compre- tE hensible. 11 But just how and where the people at large, and more especially our farm- ai ers and laboring classes are to profit by is the proposed change, we utterly fail to T perceive. The increased circulation, tr which we are assured is so urgently w needed, even admitting it to be unob- d< jectionable in character, we already have in the government purchase of n about the entire product of the A mer- tl ican mines, that is 54,00,03 ounces d per annum, and the issue of treasury al notes thereon, according to the Act of a July, 1890, to the amount of $69.000, 000. We would then get no material T increase in circulation over what we al now have by the free coinage of Amecr- n ican silver alone. Then, too, this $19.- e, 2:38,802, which now goes into the gov ernment treasury, wvould have to be h made good by increased taxation of w the people. e Where, then, would the gain to the la country at large come in? And how a would our farmers and laboring classes tI be benefitted by turning this $19.23S,- e, 82 into the private purses of these tI "bloated" silver barons, instead of al-p lowing it to continue to flow into the government treasury as it now does? tI Especially would I ask some of our i Alliance 'eaders, wvho join in this un- se reasoning clamor for free silver coinage, to explain how they expect our impov- n erished cottoni planters of the South to tI profit by the proposed change? Civis. h Conressman Johnstone Down on Springer (Special to Baltimore Suia.1] WAsHINGTON, D. C., January 12.-Many Democratic congressmen. especially thoseI from agricultural districts, repudiate Mr. Springer's leadership, so far as the free silver question is concerned. Hie was P roundly denounced to-day by several I) well known Southern members, who are tL unlinching advocates of free silver to the S extent that they want silver dollars to P contain a hundred cents' worth of silver F and be received on a par with a hundred p cents' worth of gold. Represent2tive Y JJohnstone, of South~ Carolina, declared ti in the p)resence of a number of his asso- fl ciates that it would be cowardly for the te Democratic p)arty to run away from the silver question because a few New England p~ men, who call themselves Democrats. " threaten to brok the party if a silver bill ir is passed. --ft will never do," continued hi Mr. Johnstoae, with marked earnestness,. -for the rank and file of the Democratic Ii party to cater to such an element as that. se The Democrats all through the South v< and West expect to see the present Con- fr gress pass a silver bill, whether it pleases w the New Englanders or not." h It is quite certain a determined effort will e made to adopt some definite silver te legislation during the p)resent session. There is no disguising the fact. the silver nU men are very strong in the llouse and w hey app)ear 'to be in good fighting con- b diti~on in the Senate. The conservative fe usiness men in Congress and throughout the country realize that no good can come ci of further agitating the question now. p and it remains to be seen whether they will be able to hold in check the ramp:mit G slveites.

The argument was opened by the as staut attorney-general who read the riuted arguient of the attorney-gen ral and hiniself, and elaborated some f the points. The position on behalf of the auditor nd treasurer was: That the tax act for ids mandamus in the case; that said et provides a specific and exclusive rniedy for the taxpayer, to which he iust resort;that if not, inandamus.will ot lie as a common law remedy, be use the auditLr was acting judicially; iandamus would be fruitless, it would roduce confusion, and the application gainst the auditor was made after the Lh day of October, when the duplicate ad been placed in thd hands of the easurer, who had no poweror duty in 'ie matter and was beyond the reach f the court. The point of upturning all the tax laebinery of the State was also raised id the argument closed as follows: "Is not manifest from this that a writ of jaudamus is fruitless, unvai;ing and roductive of disorder and confusion? Vill the court, by exempting the bank this extraordinary proceeding, place ie county treasurer in the position of defaulter.

The printed argument of Mr. Cald ell was read by Mr. Hunt. It was fnll ud exhaustive. Mr. Culbreath sub 'iitted a printed argument and made a trong oral argument. Mr. Hunt stated bat he had just been brought into be case and had no printed argument. n behalf of the bank this was the po ition: . That the auditor's increased assess .et was illegal, in that he acted with ut autbority, and contrary to the as ssment made by the boards of asses ors and equalization, and was no more u assessment than the verdict of a ary, increased by the clerk of the court, ould be called a verdict. 2.

Lt present the equilibrium is perfect.
