ELBKER IL A LLL, EDITOR. ELBERT H. AULL, (Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL, i NEWBERRY. S. C. WEDESDAY, J.lA. 27, 1892. WHAT IS THE LAW? "Only such clubs as were in existeice in the 13th day of August, 1890, shall be recognized. Provided, however, tbat two clubs in each ward in the citie. of Charleston, Columbia, Greenville and Spartanburg may be formed." The above is from the call of State Chairman Irby calling for the reorgan ization of the party. The party constitution, Article I, says, "There shall be one or more Dem ocratic clubs organized in each town ship or ward." Article V of the same instrumeul says, "The clubs recognized by the re spective county conventions which senl delegates to the State Conventior which met on the 13th day of August, 1390, shall be recognized as the onl) legal clubs, provided, however, that an) county convention may permit the for mation of a new club by a two-third vote of its members." Now which is the law of the party' Chairman Irby says no new clubs shal .be recognized except in certain cities Article I of the constitution says "ther( shall be one or more" in each townshil or ward. Article V of the constitutior says "that any county convention maS permit the formation of a new club oi clubs by a two-thirds vote of its mem bers." What is the law? Will som< member of the committee please tel. us. The Herald and News would be glad to have expr%sio:s of opinions from it readers on the question of a State Pri mary. not an indirect vote by electina delegates to a State Convention t( nominate State officers, but by the peo pie voting directly for these themselve, in the primaries, and not througn dele gates in a convention, as provided ir the party cons:itution. We agree hear tily with our local contemporary or this subject, and will publish expres sions of opi.,us on this question. W( thought a direct vote by the people wa. the thing greatly desired by the "re formers", but the constitution anc rules do not provide nor contemplat( any such primary. The people have 2 right to be heard at the ballot box, and if we are to have a genuine governmen1 by the people, and not one by "reform ers" and for "reformers" alone, then lei us have a primary that is a genuin( primary, which will in reality be az expression of the popular will. The ob~ jection is urged that such a vote woulc not be fair to those counties. having large negro rmjorities, but then il would give an expression of the Demo cratic will, which is the object of hav ing the primaries. Let the people speak out and the matter can yet be remedied. On the other hand if the present programme suits the people we are satisfied. The Herald and News would prefer to see a direct vote by the people, and then we would know in reality who were the choice of a majority of the Democrat of the State. The ion. WV. J. Talbert openly and t'nreservedly announces himself to hir : riends as a candidate forCongress from: the Second Congressional District. We know this to be a faft.-Edgefield Chronicle. So it is positively settled that Coi. Talbert -vill not oppose Gov. Tillman, but wiil oppose his brother, youw "Uncle George," from the second dis trict. Well that will be lively. Mr. L. M. Moore,of Green wood, writes Governor Tillmnan another open letter. It will be remembered that about one year ago, when it was known that the Governor was riding on a free pass, Mr. Moore wrote him an open lettei anid advised him to return it and admil that he had done wrong in accepting it. Mr. Moore thinks that if the Gov ernor had only taken his advice then and "reformed" he would not bave been led into other temptations. But, alas! he didn't take the advice, and according to Mr. Moore has fallen into other sins. Well it is all very sad, but no man can :,tand who has not a sure foundation, and no man has that who builds by pulling down with villifica tion and abuse, good and honorabla men, and undertakes to stand upon them, as it wex The Cantwell case is up again. A rehearing is asked for. A lot of excuses are offered. If these are good excuses for a rehearing it seems tbey might have availed for a continuance when the case came up. But no continuance was asked for. We suspect that the Attorney-General did not see the force and effect of the decision at the time. The Anniston Hot Blast advises farmers to buy cotton at present prices rather than plant it. This is good ad vice to be sure, for they can buy it cheaper than grow it, but it is very much like telling a man whbo is hungry in the desert to eat. Very fewv farmers care to speculate in cotton. They fol lowved 31r. Terrill, who told them it was bound to rise, and they got left. Spartanburg Herald. The trouble with the farmers gene rally has been the belief and advice that corn and flour and bacon and all the other necessaries of life could be bought cheaper than they could be raised on the farm. That is the reason so many of us are now hungry in the desert with nothing to eat. There is a shortage in Union and the Governor has removed the treasurer and the auditor. But can he do this without the "advice and consent?" These oflicers are appointed by the Governor " with the advice and consent of the senate" and tunder the decision in the Cautweli case can only be re moved by the Governor "with the ad vice and consent of the senate."' How is it? A~ gentleman writing to the Augusta Chronicle from Bradley says farming pays. Read w hat he says as to his own COL. KEITT'S LE~TTER. We publish elsewhere a coiilumi cation from Col. Ellison S. Keitt. We do not propose to review Col. Keitt's article. He is rather severe in some of his language. The Herald and News does not endorse that kind of warfare. Oneanongst many reasons forour op position toMr.Tillman in 189( was his severe abuse and reckless criticism of other people. ColKeitt is no more severe ifindeed a! 3evere as Mr. Tillman was, but that sort of contest is not to our way of thinking. We do not believe in abuse. We think Mr. Tillman can and will be defeated, but it cannot and will not be done by abuse. It is right and proper -o criticise his public acts and to compare his performances with his promises and to show that none of his campasgo promises have been carried out. The people realize they were dis appointed sadly in the great promises of reform made and if let alone will work out their own destiny. But abuse is calculated to arouse the old preju dices and passions of the campaign of 1890. But Col. Keitt writes over his own signature and is responsible for his own utterances. Hle puts the truth ve-ry forcible in some instances. We do not agree with him entirely a to parties. True, political parties--and the success of party-should riot be put above the weal of the country, but par ties-political parties, are necessary in a republican form of government. Congressman Johnstone has made his maiden speech in Congress, and it was well received by his colleagues. He carried his point. He is an able and ready debater, and is at home in the halls of legislation. His constitu ents may be assured that he will keep a watchful and intelligent eye on their interests. The Herald and News extends its sympathy to Editor McLenna and fam ily in the death of their daughter, Miss Clara McLenna. She was a bright and talented young lady, and the blow is a severe one to the family. Hon. A. P. Gorman has been elected his own successor as United States Senator from Maryland. Senator George, of Mississippi, has also been chosen his own successor. It will be remembered that the latter made a can vas of his state during last summer in opposition the sub-treasury and he won by a handsome majority. The Abbeville Medium says of Con gressman Johnstone, "Our representa tive is right and there is no dodging about him." Our good neighbor of the Abbeville Medium has a bran new idea for re funding the State debt in case it cannot be exchanged for the new four per cent. bonds. H is idea is that the peo pIe can be taxed sufficiently to pay them off very soon, and then there would be no debt to worry the taxpay ers about. This is an original idea, and 'is worthy the broad and comprehensive statesmanship of our esteemed contem porary, but we never dreamed that the editor of the Medium would ever think there would be any trouble in this di rection, especially of sufficient impor tance to originate even such a bright idea as this. It is true that the bonds are now below par, but of course our "reform" administration is in no wise 2responsible for this state of affairs. The Newberry Herald and News asks how the Hon. J. A. Sligh of that 'county would suit us as a candidate for Governor. We answer that we are not trying to play the Warwick role and will wait until all the racers are in the field be fore we choose a favorite. But if Newberry is bent upon having a candidate why not bring out Editor William H. Wallace, of The Observer. -Baruwell People. Mr. W allace will suit us ad mirably, and if our contemporary can get him to enter the race, The Herald and News will support him. President Harrison has tubmitted to Congress his Message on the Chilean situation. It is a long document and together with the - correspondence would fill many columns. The whole matter will very probably be settled without fighting, although at times it looks very much like war. If Senator Irby is a member of the "Reform party," how can he be chair man of the "Democratic party"? That is what he says in an interview pub lished elsewhere. Really, is there a ".Reform party" in South Carolina? As the Gioverne? returned his piano for taxation at only 820, it is perhaps natural that he never returned bis or gans at all.-Green wood Observer. It depends altogether upon what you mean by organs. There are several kinds of "organs," contemporary. A BRIGHT YOUNG LIFE ENDED. Death of Miss Clara, McLenna, of the John ston Monitor. (Special to the State.1. JOHrNSTON, January 21.-The hearts of this people is draped in deepest ] mourning over the untimely conclu sion of a bright and promising life. MIiss Clara 31eLenna, a distinguished and beautiful young lady, daughter 4 and sister of the editors of the Monitor, yielded up her sweet life at 3 o'clock I this morning, after a week's illness with grip and its consequent complica- 1 ions. For many years she has been associ ted with the Monitor, and though s nly twenty years of age, she was comn-t petent to manage every department of< he paper with grace and credit. I: 1 he composing room there were proba-t ly fewv printers in this State who c ould keep pace with her nimble fin- e ers, and then even few reporters more s ompetent than she. In all social r vents she was among the leading t pirits-ever popular and loveable,( ver bright and cheerful, even proud ad imperially beautiful. She was thei econd and youngest daughter of Mr. s ad Mrs. E. W. McLennn. r A favorite among young and old,i harming and witty, gifted with the t en, Miss Clara McLenna will be c nissed and her sudden taking-off will r e mourned as few are miissed and v ourned,. In consequence of her death, the Ii onitor has suspended publication this week, and will not be issued again y util Monday or Tues'ay next. I This afternoon at 4:30 o'clock Miss t JeLenna's remains were laid to rest in h ount of Olives cemetery. Besides er father and mother, in her immedi ate famiiv, she leaves a brother and ister-Editor WV. Alvin McLenna, of t the Monitor, and Mrs. Rev. Geo. A. s A TI' To TUE CO TRY. What somue of Our Friends in Edgefie!d Say of the Governor-The Churn 3au Abroad. On Monday the editor spent the day it, Cooper township, Edgefield County. We had intended to write somethiwg of what we saw and heard while there, but we have about concluded not to do so. It may seem strange to those who know this section that we should find anything there which would interest the general public. Yet it is a fact that we saw and beard several things that impressed us very much. We lived in this section once, not so many years ago, and to visit the old homestead was our mi:sion oil Monday. That part was -exceedingly pleasant. This, by the way. is the twonship in which one )>f Governor Tillman's plau tation is. It is known as the prairie, and to do the Governor justice, unless land on the prairie is worth more than it is in other portions, he has his lands assessed at more than their market value. In IS90 this was a very stronhold of Tillin:uism. In fact one of the sub scribe,s of The Herald and News was so strong in this direction that he would not even read The Herald and News, which was only a mild type of anti-Tillinanism, or rather we should say a conservative type. This same gentlemon wanted to furnisn Bro. Bacon, of the Chronicle with crepe when Tillman was nominated. Well, we saw this gentleman on Monday and had a talk with him. He has been reading The Herald and News again for some time. He says he is no Tillman man now, and he told us that his conscience would never feel right until somebody took him behind the door and gave him a good whipping for being so enthusiastic for Tillman in 1890, and he says that is about the sen timent of Cooper Township. He says the Governor could not be elected again to anything in Edgefield County. Naturally we desired to know why. Well, among a number of things men tioned, the most prominent seemed te be that free pass business and the treat ment of the farmers about the exten sion of the time for paying taxes. And this was not the only man we saw or talked with, and the sentiment among the farmers against the Governor was about the same. Well, this may all change, you know, but if a good con servative man is put ip for Governor, Mr. Tillman will have a stumpy road to travel to be his own successor. We promised not to write anything about what we he.rd, but there is just one other thing that struck us as a little queer. The same cry of hard times is heard in Cooper as elsewhere in the State, and some things we saw and heard con vinced us there was ground for it. Not long ago there was in this community an agent for a patent churn that sold for $8 eaeh. Strange to say there were a number of these $S churns sold in this section. It is only an evidence of how easily our farmer friends can be taken in. SHORTAGE IN UNION. County Treasurer and Auditor Removed from Ofilees,-Their Accounts', Show, a Shortage of Over a Thousand Dot. jars.. [Special to nws and Courier.] COLUMBIA, January 23.--Gov. Till man has removed Auditor Morgan and Treasurer Scot t, of Union, on thbe report of State Superintendent of Education May field, who conducted the invest iga ion as reported in the News and Cou rier to-day. He was appointed to in vestigate by the Comptroller General. Mr Mayfield's examination covered only me year 1889-90. The figures given are State taxes, original, additional, and penalties $15,493. County taxes, same items, $31,452. School taxes, same items and polls, $9,815. Total $56,761. This much is accounted for, but the report says that further investigation revealed the fact that the treasurer had collected other taxes than those for which he had settled. These were not included in the recapitulations made by the auditor on the treasurer's hooks, and did not enter into the settlement made on July 16, though they were entered on the treasurer's books long before, and were, in facL, collected in the fall and spring previous; nor were they reported to the Comiptrolier Gen eral by the auditor in his abstract of the property and persons in Union County liable for taxes. The entry of these taxes is in the back part of the treasurer's books and no . capitulation of them has ever been made. I found them while checking off the names of certain persons who had paid their taxes, (having the receipts in imy pos ession,) wvhose names were thought not to he on the books. It is, perhaps, well enough to state here that I found ll of these namets on the books except eight, and they may be those entered in the wrong book or township, which is sometimes done upon wrong informa tio:. 1 examined the townships where the persons reside and the adjoining nes, but did not have time to examine Lhose of the whole coounty. The amount of each of the eight re -eipts is small. A statement in detail >f what constitutes the second additia ual amount would he too long, and I berefore give but the aggregates, whmichi re as follows: State. county and school .s$43,694, polls 6556; total Sl,092 94. l'or this amount, $1,092 54, the trea urer has not accounted, and is still iable. It is, perhaps, but proper for your formatiou that I give yo~u the expla tation given mue as to how the matter :ame about. The treasurer claims that t was the auditor's fault in not proper y making up his books. The auditor ays that he was sick in bed at the time he books were completed, and left heir comipletion to his clerk. The clerk, who as I have before tated, serves both the auditor and reasurer, says that at the time he was ompleting the books for the treasurer, vi'hib are but duplicates of the audi or's books, be received a telegram, alling hini bomne on account of the ickness of his miother, and that he po~~s he forgot it. He says he did ot include it in the abstract sent to le Comptroller General, which he 1 the clerk) rmadeup for the auditor. There is sonic complaint as to the suing of executions against personsi co have paid their taxes and bold ' eceipts. I do not know to what extett :prevails. It is not unlikely that a( reasurer should make some mistakes: f this kind. I had the sheriff to miake f ie a list of the names of the personsi thomn executions bad been issued s gainst by the treasurer for the year 388-89.t I intended to ask him for a list for the 1 ear 1SS9-90J, but found that at the time e ould not enter into an investiga on of that matter. I append the list [ ad ma le to this report. Respectfully submitted, e W. . 3AYFIELD. [ Governor Tillman has called upon ]e Union delegation to name succes >rs to the auditor and treasurer re AN INTERVIEW WITH IRBY. He ExplainP4 and Def.nd- His Courre-He f Will Support the -Nonineeit. [Special to News and Couriei.J CoLUMBA, Jan. 22.-Senator Irby left the city this afternoon for Wash- \ ington to resume his place in the Se- o nate. Ile was in a decidedly good hu- I nior to-day. He takes kindly to criti- a cism. As it is ouly once in a while that % be talks for publication what he has to say isgenerally interesting. To-day he I gives an omnibus interview covering o several matters of public interest iu o very brief time and space. t; In the course of the talk he said that b he appreciated the work mapped out b for him by The News -tid Courier in fi the Senate in the matter of the redue- f tion of Senatorial funeral expenses. He believes that the suggestions of The b News and Courier are on the line of y reform, and that, perforce, he will ii naturally align himself with the funeral h reform party wheti it naterializee in V the Senate. "REFORM PA RTY"-"DEMOCRATIC 0 PARTY." Among othcr things, referring to his ) past, present and future conduct of the . party in the State as its chairman, he said: "I am neither annoyed nor in iluenced by what has been said of me in any olicial capacity; I ut I would a like to impress this upon ny friends: that while I am a friend of Governor V Tillman, and have been a member of the Reform party for six years, as chairman of the Democratic party of, the State I have had, and will have, no , other purpose than to be absolutely t fair and impartial. What I have done e or will do as State chairman will be for the good of the whole party, and not in the interest of any one candida e. I J can, therefore, say that any man who is strong enough to defeat Tillman in the priniaiies for Governor will be good enougb for ue to give him my heartiest support." HARD ON ioYr. Being asked what he had to say & about the suggestion made by Col. hoyt that there should be a straight State primary for Governor as against the present electoral primary systeni he said: "The electoral p!an is provided Lapecially by the constitution of the a party and I am surprised that a man of Col. Hoyt's intelligence should raise such an issue at this time. The con- i atitution not only provides such a plan, but it (the constitution) cannot be altered or amended before the Septeni ber Nominating Conve:ntion. You will at oncesee, therefore, that the Governor will be uominated and virtually elected before any change can be made. Besides, that egg cannot hatch because it is too old. It has been an issue in this StaLe for six or eight years, and the present system was adopted in order to deal a justly by the Democrats who have to t carry on their backs the large uegro I majority in the lower part of the State." a PARRYING CHA IRMAN BRYAN'S TRUST. 0 Senator Irby was asked what he had P to say about the views of County Chair- t man Bryan on the subject of the re organization of Charleston County in t< an interview recently published in the f News and Courier. He replied: r "What Chairman Bryan says is, in the main, correct. The two clubs that ti were formed there some time ago in each ward in Charleston were organized for the municipal campaign. By read ing the constitution you will see that b Charleston, Greenville, Spartan burg t< and Columbia may organize two clubs, in each ward. As State chairmian I would suggest that cities like Charles ton, where there are two factions of thed Democratic party, that after the chair- r man calls for the reorganization they, organize two clubs in each wvard. For I instance, the Reform clubs that exist r1 for municipal purposes in Charleston t< to-day can meet and in i.en minutes si organize for the county and send dele- I gates to the County Convention. It is c for the voters to say whether they will s5 have two clubs in these cities and not V for the county chairman. The county si ebairman may say in his call that two 12 clubs may be formed, but whben he fails s5 to say itit here is no reason w by rhey b shall not be organized and claim repre- V sentation in the County Couvention.'" e FAILS TO SEE AN IMPORTANT DISTINC TION.a Referrinig to other matters lie said: 0 "I have been amused as well as sur- 1 prised at the position taken by the editor of The News and Courier whben he practica-lly charged the comnmittee or its chairman with arrogating extra- h ordinary powers and camping outside a of the constitur ion. My instruictions to . county chairmen are in accord with a - long line of precedents since 1876. I desire to say to the editor of The NewsI and Courier that I intended no usurpa tion of power in imy way whataoever, ~ nor is my action capable fairly of any such construction. To prove that there is no assumption of authority I would appeal to precedent and to the c'onstitu tion itself. But perhaps the statement of the editor was a joke-that the M\ay ~ Coivention could not elect a represen- , tative on the Natioinal Democratic ti committee. He surely could niot be earnest in that statement. I resueet-g fully refer him to that patrt of ihe con-w stittitin relatinig to the May Conven- ' tionl, and hope that herearter when jokes on the State chairman are ii- tc tended assuch they will be so labelled."r [Senator Irby's call is for the elec-b ion of "a memiber of the Nat ionual Democrat ic execut ive cornumittee."

Wilie Jones, the treasurer of the comn- pi ittee, to be given to the papers by in which they were receivedl and pub ised. I rather think that it is in both bad grace and taste that complaint of 2. nfair dealing should be imade by a ewspaper that speaks of the State pa Jemocratic executive committee as the - ry conmmnit tee, and h:as not recogniz-d 9 ae as State chairmnani, and a paper, too, - vhich has never uswered the qutes- a ion whlethuer it would stand by the imnees of the Democratic party cting un1der the State Democratic ~xecutive committee.
