ELBErT H. AULL, EDITOR. ELBERT H. AULL, Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL, P NEWBERRY. S. C. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARV :3, 1892. VERY TRUE. The Greenville News bad a very timely and true editorial iL a recent is sue on "People and Newspapers." It is so true and timely and expresses our ideas on this question so correctly that we cannot help reproducing it here. The editors of newspapers as a rule in this State are not office seekf-rs nor place hunters and we believe they have written and labored honestly and con stantly for what they beleived to be the best interests of all the people. In many cases they have been abused and misrepresented by the politicians and place hunters when they saw fit to crit icise or disagree with these citizens. The honest editor can afford to take this because he knows he has been un selfish in his labors and many times his expressions and advice have been contrary to what he realized and saw was popular. But it will all come right in the end. The man who is honest in what he does and does the right as he sees it will stand when the wily politician is forgotten. . Here is what the News says: "From every direction we see the warning coming that the people of this Stato are. determined to go against the newspapers; that whichever way the newspapers go the voters will go the other and that the more the newspa pers say against Governor Tillman the more zealously the people will be for him. "We hope-this elsim has no founda tion in fact. If it ijas, the intelligence and patriotitbn of our people are less than we have giveu thew credit for. It is hard to imagine that men who have any sense or any love for their State or pride in her or care for their own inter e.ts will allow themselves to be gov erned in their political action by cause less spite. Certainly the newspapers have wronged nobody, betrayed no trusts. They have, generally speaking, stood very sturdily and manfully against overwhelming popular senti ment and proclaimed what they be lieved to be right to their own loss. "The peop;e % ho vote one way merely because the newspapers talk the other way will simply be indulging in the idiotic performance of cutting off their noses to spite their faces. We can re spect a man who believes that Govern or TiLiman has made a good governor or sh,,uld be given another chance or is entited to the continued confidence and affection,of the people. We can argue with him, and if be con'nues in his opinion until election day we know his ballot has some reason, thought, purpose and proper sentiment behind it. We may believe that man to be mis taken, but we can .feel that his mistake is an honest one. When, however, a man votes simply to be voting against the newspapers we can see no sense or propriety in it and can only regard him as prostituting the ballot entrusted to him by his country for the gratifica tion of very base passions and preju dices unworthy of a man. "Let the newspapers continue to do their duty as they see it. There should be no low, scurrilous personal abuse of1 anybody, but there sho'ild be fearless statements of all facts bearing on pend ing issues and the relations of candi dates to the public and honest argu- 1 ment and deduction from them. Let< nobody be frightened by the cry of 'abuse' and 'persecution' and the spite of voters. Our part is to doour duty to the public, to tell the truth as we un derstand it and to leave the responsi bility with the masses who do the vot ing. "The Greenville News believes thats most of those who raise these crIes have a purpose in it; their idea is to be little the influence of the press, to arouse feeling against it and and to in duce cessation of its attacks on the Ie present administai.tion. We believe that they slander the people. We have 'undiminished faith in the common sense, conservatism and patriotism of the white people of South Carolina. Whether we are right or wrong about that, we believe the newvspapers will continue their work of speaking for the c best interests of the State regardless of consequences."'' The Greenville News a short time ago a gave an acclaim of rejoicing that it had t gotten through with one day's work 3 without mentioning the name of Gov. t Tillman. The State, Columbia, was b not to be outdone, so on Monday it a really issued one paper that had no e reference to him. Well, this was re- e ally remarkable and we congratulate g our con temporaries on their success a in this direction. It is hardly possible b for a weekly to rival these dailies in s this respect. Governor Tillman has r at least been the best ad vertised Gover- v nor South Carolina has had in a long fi time. '1 Resolutions were passed at the meet- s ing of cot ton growers recentlIy held in h] Augusta to reduce the acreage in cot- j ton. If resolutions will do any good a there will be considerably less cotton a grown this y'ear than formerly. The g main thing for the farmers of this State to do is first to raise all the corn and meat and flour and other things needed on the farm to supply their own de- a miands, and then to raise all the cotton they can. A farmer said to us the Ib other day, it laid to raise cotton and you could pay debts withI it and make someC mloney''pror<ied yomu had p)lent,; of corn lchind if. That is the thing heeded-lenty of corn behiudl your cot ton. Then you can have good stock, plenty of meat, and( what cotton is ti grown can be counted as so much mfo-e necy to ',c hefarmer.F We had thougzht that the stub-trea- I sury'\ stceme haid been abandonedl but t Congressman Living ton of Georgia has already introduced a bill providing for the system of sub-treasuries. The bill is similar to the bill introduced in the last Congress and which President t Stokes wouid not discuss. WVe ex- C peeted, if the matter bobbed up again, that the "scheme," or "plan," or "prin c:ple" wvould appear in diiferent form, t ats we were told on more than cue oe casion that the old bill was not what was wanted and that it was a dead I :ssue. We respect fully refer ti,.- hole ques tion to the Cotton Plant and President M Stokes, and reqluest that Mr. Living- se ston be told that the old bill is dead, y and that the "plan," whatever that is, C<~ "There are those whose one mission in the world seenis to be fault-finding. They spend their days in hunting for something to chew up; goats browsing on morning glories." We I.ave often been impressed with the truth of the above. How easy it is for some people to be always finding fault. Nothing seems to please them. But th?n it is a very easy matter to find faults. Most of us are full of them and none entirely free from them and it is so much easier to find the errors than the virtues. "Errors like straws on the surface flow." How much bet ter it would be however if we would sea-ch for the good deeds in our neigh bor and rid ourselves of the faults that are in us as far as possible. It would help people to be and to do better if we would commend their good deeds occasic,nally and not be so ready to al ways be finding fault with other peo ple-suppose we try it. After seven months of work during which the New York Life has under gone the most rigid examination to which any life Company in this coun try has ever been subjected, the Insur ance Commissioner of New York has completed his labors and filed his re port. It will be gratifying to the policy holdeis in this old company to learn that tae report shows the company to be in iossession of assets in cold hard dollars, amounting, 30 June, 1891, to S120,710,690. This is nearly $5,000,000 more than the company claimed to have on 1st January, 1891. Besides it has a larger surplus than any other purely Mutual Company in the world. Judge Wallace says positively that he will not be a candidate for Gover nor. The Herald and News never believed that he would be in the race. The Columbia Canal has really and truly been sold and the deed has been signed. Soon now we shall expect factories to hum upon its banks and Columbia to get a genuine move on her. The Chester cotton mills was burned last week. Loss estimated at $24.-,000 covered by insurance to the amount of -151,000. Preparations have already been made for its rebuilding. Fires are very numerous lately. Troubles never come singly. By what authority did the Execu ti-. a Committee direct that all clubs or ganize on the same day? If this com ruittee is to take charge of everything there will be little use of a countyexec ative committee. The State Commit tee, as at present constituted, is fully :ompetent to run the whole machine. rhey don't even need the assistance of he people. The question may arise after awhile, aowever, as to who is boss of the ma ~hine,-the present ring and coterie of )tllce-holders or the people? Unless ve very much mistake the spirit and ntelligence of the people, they will no nore be willing to submit to dictation ~rom the Tillman faction and ring than hey were or would be from any other et. There is more evidence of dicta ion and bossism from the present re lime than we have ever seen before, nad the people will find it out by and >y. The great diff'erence is the present >ffice holding set seem to claim they re the people. The war with Chilie is over. Peace tas been declared. Nobody has been iurt. President Harrison's war mes age will scarely help him in his canm >aign, as it seems it was intended to do. Well, we are glad there will be no var. It is getting about time, how ver, for us to have another. It has ieen nearly thirty years since the last rar-about the longest period between cars in the history of this country. There was a rather peculiar murder, r rather killing, in Memphis the other ay. Miss Freda Ward and Miss dlice Mitchell were very dear friends nd schoolmates. The attachment was pparently very strong, and they said bey intended to marry each other. Iiss Ward's married sister concluded bat this strange attachment should be roken, and forbade her sister havingi nything more to do with Miss Mitch LI. This was more than Miss Mitchell ould stand. So one day last week she ot in her carriage with some friends nd drove up behind Miss Ward and er sister who were walking. When he got near them she stopped the car lage, got out and pursued Miss Ward ith a drawn razor and cut her throat -om the effects of which she died. 'he killing has caused a sensation.t :oth the young ladies belong to re >ectable families. Miss Mitchell, with er friend Miss Lillie Johnston, who1 -as in the carriage with her, have been rrested on the charge of murder and re in jail. Miss Johnston pleads not ilty, and Miss Mitchell insanity. Geo. B. Cromner, Esq., has been sug - ested as a good candidate for Govern -Well he would make a good Gev -nor. The fact of the business is New rry can furnish any amount of good aterial for almost anything you de re. No decision has yet been filed in the ew berry bank case. It is understood tat the opinion of the Court in this tse will be delivered by Judge T. B.( raser, one o' the Circuit judges whot eard the case in place of those of the ipreme bench disqualified. Judge a raser is now holding court at Spar- v nburg. It was no,ted some days ago that the ttorney-General had filed a petition the Supreme Court to reopen the mnt well case. The Supreme Court on il onday filed a decision refusing to * -at the petition. Unless the case kes another turn, Mr. Cantweli will tve to be paid his $400. Millionaire t1 'iliamis is to able do without it and "I Mr. Canutwell have it. It is stated from Washington that r. M1. F.

Another Big Hole Burned in the P"ublic Square-Two BuIldings Destroyed wi th Heavy Loss. [Special to Greenville News.] LAcRENS, S. C., Jan. 0.-Again Laurens sutffrs by tire. At 1.40 o'clock this morning flames were discovered in the Minter & Janieson two story brick building on the north side of the pub lie square, containing their furniture store, one of the largest stocks of the kind in the State; and their immeuse dry goods establiFhment. The firemeu promptly responded and commenced a stubborn light which lasted for hours. The flames were kept confined to the basement- and ground loor for nearly an hour and it was noped that the danger was over whenL they suddenly burst from every por tion of the building. In a few mo ments the whole house was a fiery mass from which great volumes of smoke arose. This, with the heat, made successful resistance impossible. Then Colonel B. W. Ball's handsome three story building, standing a few feet east of the burning house, and separated from it by narrow alley, caught under the roof in front. The firemen climbed to the roof and cutting through, fought the fire from above until, from the danger of their position, ticy were forced to descend. Then they kept up the struggle until the water in tie cistern failed and it was necessary to stop until water could be pumped from the branch by the stationary engine at Hudgen's will. But for this delay the Ball house might have been saved. When the water was again turned on little could be done except to play on the flames for the protection of other property. After about half an hour the water failed for the second time, and at 5 a. in. the ruins were abandoned until the water supply could again be re newed. The house was already a ruin. It contained J. L. Mininaugh's cloth ing store on the ground floor and the law offices of Balk, Simkns & Bulland W. W. Kennedy, and the sleeping room of Charles Myers on the second. The clothing stock and the l1w libraries, including that of R. C. Watts, besides those of the firms already named, were removed. The Minter & Jamieson loss on the building will amount to about $7,000 and on stocks $2.3,000; insurance on building $5,000; on stocks $16 000. Colonel Ball's loss on building will amount to from $3,500 to $4,000, ac cording to the condition of the walls. The building was insured for $3,000. 3imnaugh's loss and the loss on the law libraries are probably covered. A large part of the furniture of the offices was destroyed, on which there was no insurance. The surrounding buil-Iings were at times greatly endangered and one or two caught, The general opinion is that the fire was incendiary. W. A. Jamieson, the junior partner of 'Miuter & Jamieson, slept in a room in t* second story of hiF building last night, and was the only occupant. About 12 o'clock he heard a noise and wcat down stairs, but saw nothing suspicious. An hour and a half later he was awak ened by the roar and crackle of the flames. Throwing only his overcoat on he rushed down the stairway to the business oeee, cut off in the rear, and tried'to o n the safe but could not. Then, blfnded, stitled and almost faint ing, he succeeded in making his way out. It was just then that the alarm was being given without. Post Master J. M. Robertson, one of the first per sons to arrive, says that the back doors of the house were standing open, and that on the wooden platform which one door opened upon he observed some traces of liquid. Whether or not it was oil, he could not say. The firemen as usual worked splen didly. The total loss will approxImate $.35, 000 or $40,000. Such is the brief narrative ofanother of tbe series of terrible misfortunes that have recently visited our town. OnC three sides of the public square yawn ing gaps with bare walls aiid piies of brick and mortar where two months ago stood handsome business Auctures only partially tell the tale ot more than a dozen fires by which $100,000 worth. of property has been lost. To say that the feeling here is one of universal dis- ~ tress and despondency can give nojust ~ idea of the situation. So often has the midnight alarm sounded that it has a ceased to occasion sulrprise. The police X force has been doubled and extra men, have been on du y for weeks. It seemst tha t the time has come when every man I must stand sentry over his homie. n. ACCUSED As A FIRE BUG serious Suspicions AgaInat A Union Merchant. [Special to Greenville News.] UNION, S. C., Jan.--W. H. Pool, a merchant of this town, was arrested .his evening but afterwards released ont >ond in the sum of6500. Pool is sus :ected of having set fire to his store s ast Thursday night and was to-day s ndicted on the charge. He occupied V tstore on North MIain street belonging t ;o Phillip Dunn. He carried a stock of a froceries and transacted business in his V ,vife's name, F. C. Pool. It is thought V ie had $200 wort h of goods on hand and c ~arried insurance for $1,000. Thursday a ie closed his store about dark and wen~t e o his home. In less thani half an hour '" tfter he left the store sonie negroes " yassinmg by saw smoke in the building. S [here was so much smoke that no >laze could be seen. The door was5 - >roken in and those who first entered V be building say that t hey could smell I wrosenle oil burning. It was found hat the office desk, the end of the :ounter and the plastering overheaid vere bu:rning all at the same time. An A il tank was sitting within ten feet of he desk. The fire was quickly extin ~uished. No goods were burned, but hey were very badly smoked. It is a tystery how the lathing overhead aught fire from the smiall blaze of the ~ 'ounter.

A Finw Little sclime Being Worked by John R. Jefteries. [Special to State. I UNIox, Jan. :1.-The "unoflicial" teltgrams that have been sent from this place to Columbia by the executive conmittee, or a part of it, to Governor Tillman have, it is thought, given at least one of the representatives from this county a set-back, and probably two of them niay feel it. The State correspondent has been reliably in formed that the telegrams which the Governor said were "unoticial" were sent as a check to some work which was beiug done by John R. Jefferies, State lecturer of the Farmers' Alliance, a member of the House of Representa tives and aspirant for Col. John J. Hinphill's seat in Congress, aud also to Gov. Tillman placing the power in the hands ot the representatives of choosing successors to ex-Treasurer Scott and ex-Auditor Morgan. It was learned here by soneof t he executive committee that John I. Jefferies, who was in 'ongressnan Hemphill's district doing work for the "noble order," (electioneering for himself), heard of the decapitation of the county officers, caie through Columbia, stopped over at Santuc, spent the night with John W. Gregory, memberof tlie House, and then on to Jonesvillo next day to see Godfrey B. Fowler, member of the House, it is said, to see that Mr. Greg ory secured Mr. Scotts position as trea surer-a position he has wanted some time-and then to secure for his (Jef feries') son the position of auditor. This is why the "unofficial" telegrams were sent to Columbia, giving a check to 31r. Jefferies and Governor Tillman. NIr. Jefferies' son may not be auditor, but it is thought Mr. Gregory will be chosen treasurer. The Representatives will meet at Jonesville on Saturday, and they will call together the execu tive committee, who will take some action. Some of the strongest supporters of Tillman. Scott and Morgan say there is nothing very wrong in the business for which Scott and .lorgan xere re moved, but that it was just an "irregu larity" or "mistake," it would seem, for which no one is responsible, and which every one should overlook. John R. Jeffieries is an announced candidate for Congress against Mr. Hemphill, and spends most of his time in that congressional district, as some Allianceman said to-day, 0.spending our -3 a day working for himselt against Mr. Hemphill." At the. time Mr. JeMYeries was app-inted to fill the un xpired terni of W. J. Talbert as State lecturer, which was in June, lie said: "I will try this thing until Ju'y, the time of the election, and if there is no oup in the -bone I will give it up to 3oafrey B. Fowler." It will be remeta bered Alr. Fowler wanted the place. The State lecturer has found that the ftice was a pretty good way for bimi to 1deavor to oust Mr. Hemphill. It xill be remembered he holds two pay ng offices-S tate lect u er, and member )f the House-and now be is a candi late for Congress, and at the same time rying to get his son appointed auditor. et this administration is opposed to one family holding too many offices." STATUS OF THE CASE. [The State, 2nd.] TheI Union shortage matter has been ransferred to Columbia now, and what here is about it to-day is neither "of. icial," "semi-official," or "unofficial." U.l the parties concerned are here, and o-day they will present the matter to jovernor Tillmian in a shape he will tardly relish. Senator Glenn D. Peake, who is also me of Treasurer Scott's bondsmen; WV. i.. Nicholson, the banker, who wants he treasurer's deposits; auditor N. B. dorgan, and county treasurer J. B. T1. scott; the two removed officials, all ame to the city yesterday afternoon. Senator Peake was seen by the Stiate epresentative, but beyond saying that te and the others had come to hold a onference with the Governor in re ard to the matter he would not talk n the su bject. Governor Tillman will not return util to-day when the conference wili e held. From a passenger otn the train who s personal friend of Senator Peake, .d to whom he talked very freely on. he way dowvn, it was ascertained that he Union delegation had decided to sk Governor Tillman to reinstate the emove.d officials, and the object of this isit of the headl of the delegation and t he retmoved officers is to earry out the I rovisions of this decision. Much in rest will be taken in the action of the I lovernor on this matter. GREENVILLE FOR PROGRESS. eventy-five Thousand Dollars Voted for a Sewet age System.

IN CASE OF WAt WITH CHILI. Captain Garlington Desires to be Colon"I of This State's Troops. Governor Tilinan received the fol lo ing letter yesterday morning from Captain Garlington, connanding the Seventh Cavalry, U. S. A. "If the daily press reports accurately the condition of the situation existing between our own government and that of Chili war is not imptobable. In the event of war it seems to me that the United States will have to send to Chili a considerable force, and to have Fuch a force available it will be neces sary to call for volunteers. I take it that South Carolina will respond; and if the State should muster any troops into t he service of the United States I have the li-nor to aptly for the appoint nent of c-lonel of cavalry, if the State furnishes any cavalry; if not, of in fantry. "I refer you to the War Departnent, Washington, for irny record and fitness for he co miniand asked for." To this the Governor replied as fol lows: "Yours of the 24th instant asking appointment of Colonel if South Caro lina should muster in any troops for the war with Chili received. While ad niring the spirit which caused you to "sniff the battle from afar,' and to de sire a place in the picture as com mander of South Corolinians, you will, I am sure, rejoice with me that there will be no war, and therefore no such appointment to make. "With assurances of my respect and my good wishes for your welfare ani promotion in your chosen field, "I am, very respectfully, "B. R. TILLMAN."

Cured in Quick Time by Cuticura. C T deem it my duty to inform you of the won. erful cure of eczema which CCTIcLRA REMIE 'IES brought upon our little baby, three months o Id. When ahcut two and one-half months old, bme whole of its little head became one mass of utrefaction, over which we became very much armed, as the medicine prescribed by our physi ian only seemed to aggravate and increase the tense pain the little thing seemed to be in. We ere utterly at a loss to know what to do, as rie physician seemed to have exhausted all efforts - > give relief. But through the recommendation I fRev. J. G. Ahern, pastor of Brooks Circuit U [. E. Church Society, we were induced to try l CUTIcURA REMEDIES, and after a few days' pplication, we were astonished as well as de hted over the result. We continued the use of the - ledic:ne according to directions, and after a few -eeks, the little fellow was entirely cured with nol aces of the disease left. Many thanks for this onderfult cure. MRs. J011N HOLSTEIN, Quitman, Ga. p Tt gives me great pleasure 'o testify to the facte ,nined in Mrs. JTohn Holstein's testimonial con -rninge the cure of her little baby. When I saw it G did not think it possible for it to live. I, how-N er, recommended CUTIcCRA, knowing that if curie was possible, CcTnceRtA REMEDiEs would. it. My most sanguine expectation culminated a perfect cure. J. .AHE RN,rPastor M.E. Ch.

The Land Mining Pohosphate Companies Suspend. (The State, 2d.] The stringency in the inoney market and the general financial depression w% hich iz effecting the farmers directly and through theni the railroads and tther businesses, is at last striking at the head centre of all. Several times already in mentioning the bad condition cf the railroads, the fact that the purchase of fertilizers by the farmers had absolutely ceased has been referred to. Last night a wel' known phosphate man, just from the miines, said that nearly all the large land minling corn paties had su.pended operations in this State, and only those which had Italian iinersemp-oyed undercontract for a certain specitied time were still at work. These companies, he sa%s have profited by last year's losses. and have decided to reduce tihe supply outil The dt nnd is equal to it. Oe company that lm:ned 30,000 tons last year, has taken out but 18 000 this year. and can find a market.for only one-third of it. The river mining companies are still at work but with s.:Iort forces, and the time is not tar distant when they, too, will temporarily suspend. The foreigu market is in as bad a fix as the home, and the foreign farmer is Equally as had off. He regards the outlook as very dis couraging. She Committed Suicide. [The State.] COLUMBIA, S. C., January 30.-One of the saddest tragedies that has oc curred in this State for a long time, hap pened in Edgefield yesterday afternoon, and the news of it having spread to most of the towns of tho county, nearly every one was much shocked. The saddest part of it all, however, is ( that it is a fair and apparently bappy young woman who committed suicide. Mr. John Carson is a well known A young Edgefield m.n, who has been liv ing since his marriage at a cross-roads just a few miles north of Ridge Spring- / between that place and Ward's-with his fair young wife and their two bright lit tle children. ) Yesterday this happy household was terribly dismembered. Mrs. Carson, so a 4 passenger on the incoming train said, some time during the day went into her room, took her husband's pistol. placed it to her temple and fired. The bullet plowed its way through her brain and death was instantaneous. At the sound of the pistol, members of the household rushed to the room to find the dead wife lying in a pool of her own 1, blood and brains. They were terrialy shocked. Such a step was not in the least anticipated and no cause can be assigned for the rash act. The only possible cause that can be conceived is ill health. The young wife J has recently had a spell of illness and it is supposed that it affected her mind.
