E~LBERT H. AULL, EDITOR. ELBERT H. AULL, 1 Proprietors WM. P. HOUSEAL, NEWBE.RRY. S. C. IEDSESD1Y, 1R11C 16, 1S92. AS TO COUNTY POLITICS. We stated last wee.. that we wot publish the county constitution for t Democratic party in our issue t week. Upon examination we fi that the convention did not adopt t new constitution prepared two ye; ago. but the old one prepared in 1: and the amendments thereto, whatei they were. It will be some trouble get these together, and as the first o cial act of our county executive co mittee is to disregard this constituti and its amendments, we suppose would be a waste of time and space hunt these up and reproduce them. It was our opinion, however, ti the present constitution was of fo and binding until it was amended repealed, in such places at least wh it was not inconsistent with the St constitution. But it seems now tl we have no local self-governwent, far as party politics is concerned, 1 that the counties are to be maui3 lated by the State executive coun tee. Well, The Herald and News< stand it if the people are satisfied. Our county constitution provides one delegate for every ten members a club. The call published elsewh says we shall have only one deleg for every twenty-Live members. 'I State constitution gives power to ev, county to regulate its own represet tion in county conventions. The new or.ier of things also creases the number of the execut committee from eleven, we believe, thirty-five-nearly as large a body the State Senate. That will give : 1 Township eight members. The ot townships have clubs as follows: Tb are two clubs each in Nos. 2. 3, 4 ani There are three each in Nos. 6. 7 and 11. No. 8 has but one, and N has six. This will wake the execul committee a v"rc unwieldy body. The county c.a.paign is on now:: The Herald and News hopes to se< conducted on a high and manly ph We hope that little hi kerings prejudices and personalities shall be eliminated. -Let us all g-t toget and fill the offices with the best fil men for the places that we can find If the people think it the wizest x to change the constitution of the pf so as to give us a di.ect primary State officers, why let them so insti their delegates to the county cons tion. If not the best, whby then le stand as it is, but we don't want to the people dictated to by a few p1. hunters. * GEN. H AMFTON'S LETTE R. The State, of the 7th published : eral letters from the signers of the for the March convention to beheld the 24th inst. Among them was from Gen. Wade Hampton, wbic published elsewhere. The He and News is frank to admit t disappointment in the tone of letter. The impression made u us in reading it wvas that G Hampton wasL inclined to the polic of fighting the present administra outside and independent of the org ize'd Democracy. What can accomplished by this; course we to see, except a final disruption of Democratic party in this State. Su Gen. Hampton would not sauc such a course. It is contrary to ayJ pass course, and we are sorry 'tc forced to any su -e o f the expression.s of Wade Hampton means two factions in this State ding for the negro vote, and nei will get it. 'The Herald and News is not r and has not been in the past, '-.y vocate of Gov. Tillman, but we bel much worse things could come u -us than his re-election. Nothing has been done up to this time helped to bring about his defeat, on the contrary, every move of th~ position has strengt.hened him. is the way we see it. Editor Williams is a lit tle extr gant sometimes ini his expression allegiance to the Democracy, but are far more willing to endorse hi~ position and do endorse it, than to, aid to any movement that will fur separate us. The trouble is, too manny of our 1 lie men do not know thbe temper sentiment of our people. We~ will to look on the bright side, however with an abiding contidence in thle] common sense of the people contimt believe that it will all come out r in the end. Col. Keitt t ackles Gov.

SELF-EXPLANATORY. The editor of The Herald and News is the Newberry correspondent of the State, and has for tJe past ten years been the local correspondent of the News and Courier, and was until re 1 cently, when he turned it over to his partner in business. We have made no secret of the fact. We have not boasted of it, neither have we apologized for it, nor do we intend to. It is a business transaction. They - pay us for our work and make no ef fort to bind our conscience or to pro scribe us if we do not agree with the id' hd editorial expressionE of the paper. That he is all there is of it. ts This statement is made here in this way because certaia little, mean and he unmanly efforts ha-.e been made to injure us anD to have us proscribed on 78:accouut of our co,iueetion with the er State. It is a very small piece of to business, and is dote to gratify per fi- sonal enmity to us and to the editor of m the State. It is unmauly and uncalled >n for. We have always uphe!d what we to conceived to be right. The Democracy has had no stronger friend, and, so far tat as our ability goes, no stronger advo- I ce cate. We have always bowed t-) the or will of a majority o" our fellow Demo .re crats and fought for the integrity and ite unity of the party, even when that mat majority was against our judgment. so Now an effort is male to have us pro ut scribed because we engage in fair and 'u- honorable labor to make an honest dol t lar. We make ou:- bread by honest labor and not by public office, and until we prove untiue to the people we do not believe they will sanction or any such base efforts. of - re If a primary election is so cssential ate to a fair expressiou of opinion for the he Democrats of our State, why did the ry same gentlemen who are so ardently endorsing the plan now oppose it in 1 SS ta- and the early part cf the campaign of 1890'-?-egi.6er. iu- Please tell us why the gentlemen ve who were so ardent for it in SSS are to now so bitterly opposed to it. It is as very queer. Most of those who are o- now advocating a primary have been her there all the time. re - i 5- Politicians as a rule have bad memo ,0 ries and no gratitude whatever. All > 9 they want is the oiice. ive } Art.cle -5 of the Democratic State .ud Constitution reads as follows: it "County Democratic Conventions ue- shall be composed of delegates elected .nd by the several local clubs, one delegate all for every twen- c-five membe::s, and her one delegate for a majority fractior ted thereof, with the right to each County Convention to enlarge or diminish the lan representation according to circuln rty stauces." for Our County Cens ituUon nro%ides uct that our County Conventions shall be en- composed of one delegate f r every ten it members of a club.

The Third Story of the Building a Com plete Wreck--Erave Act of Cadet Gwynn-Cadets Lose Their Clothing. [Special to the State.j CiiARLESTON, March 14.-The main buildo,tg at the South Carolina Mili tary Academy was completely gutted by fire this morning. It was about 1J o'clock when smoke was first seen issuing from Maj. Bond's apartuents, on the third story of the building, just ea=t of the tower, above the sally port. MIost of the cadets were in tLi different class rooms, and the otfieers families were engage<d in household duties in their various quar ters. The first ntinaiion almost any one in the academy heard of the tire was when the alarm was sounded from box, 613, at the corie of Kin g and Vander horst streets. A policeman ran ito the station house and exclaimed. "The Citadel is on fire!" Several offieers and a squad of mien rushed over to the citadel, and were the first to arouse the inmates to asense of their danger. A few moments later the tire engines be gan to arrive, an- then the fight against the flames was begun. The fire must have gained con"idera ble headway before it was disci ered, for by the time the alarm was given and the cadets were dismissed from the class rooms, deiie clouds of smoke rolled along the gilleries of the second and third stories of the building and filled the rooms. The crackling of burning timber could be heard, but for a time no flames were seen. Then, suddenly, bright jet- shot up simultane ously from the east and west sides of the centre southern towers. As thought this was an awaited sig nal, the flames, hetherto dormant, were soon spreading rapidly in all directions. They curled upwards high above the battienients of the building, le.ped forth from doors and windows,!roaring and seething as the water fell in great streams in their midst. High in the air, from its graceful staff, the colors of South Carolina floated proudly in the breeze, and ever and anon, as the dense clouds of smoke would roll aside, it was visible to the eyes of thousands of eager watchers. Finally its silken folds caught fire. For a moment it burned then it was lost for ever amid the general ruins. The rumor that the Citadel was burning spread rapidly, and soon thou sandrs of people were on Marion square, watching the conflagration -a sight that saddened the heart of every watcher. For hours the flames raged, and for hours the crowds sto,d patiently watch ing for the end. By 12 o'clock the fire mrien had the flames practically under control, though it was not until 4:3t) o'clock it: the afternoon that they were completely subdued and the en gines returned to their respective sta tions. Soon after the fire broke out, Cadet St. Charles Gwynn of Spartanburg seized the open powder cask, contain ing at l.a 100 pounds of powder, and, placing his cap over it, ran through the fire and carried it to a place of safety. The cadets did noble work in assist ing in saving the property of the offi cers who had their quarters in the main building, Many of the boys lost everything they owned, save the clothes they wore, amoing these urifortunates being Cadet Moore anti others of Columbia. Maj. Bond, in whbose room the fire is sup posed to have had its origin, lost almost al his property. The third story of the main building is a complete wreck andl the second story is fearfully damaged both by fire and water. The firs(story is compara tively uninjureti, whjle both the east wing, in which is thbe chapel, dining ball ond several of the lecture rooms, and the west wing, in which several ofTicers are quartered, are intact. The insurance on the main building is said to be $3$,000~, and the damage is estimated at $:'0,000. Various and many were the offers of aid showered upon Superintendent Coward, who, by his cool oess and judg ment, managed to miaintain the most perfect order and discipline among his "bos." Rev. A. Toomer Porter, D. D., off ered the use of the Porter Academiy for the temporary accomodation of the cadets, and t he Roper hospital was also tendered for the same purpose. It was dlecided to accept the offer of thbe Roper Hopital, and to-night the entire bat talion of cadets are quartered there. Col. Coward and his family are staying at Dr. J. L. Ancrum's p)rivate resi dence for the present. Cot. Coward is by no means in despair on account of the misfortune, and says he expects to have the academic exer cises of the institution resumed in a dtv or two. and will finish the session asthough tnothing had hlappened.

To the Editor of The Herald and News: As this is a year that everybody feels kinder privileged to wasp up any one he wants to, provided he s:ays bacK himself in the rear rank, we say hurrah for John Henry Cha-pell. If he has been converted and now sees the error of his way, an honest ac knowledgment is good for the soul. We say be has a perfect right to change his mind, and as often as he likes to. Didn't he slap the Smith's hard. and with both hands at the same t;me? We wonder sometimes what makes people cross and snap at everything that passes by them. Why can't ev erv man keep on his own base and do right and give the rest of mankind less to think and talk a bout? Maybinton township board of equal ization met last week and passed jude ment on the returns of its citizens; in other words to see if everybody had sworn to the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. They say they found all kinds of swearing (lone by some, and some others didn't swear at all. We suppose the last named were trying to obey the Bible and not swear at all. There were about thirty of that kind. We were told they went heavy on the dogs. Evei y man that didn't have a dog thbey gave one free. We believe dogs should be taxed five dollars and the amount go to the school fund. We believe we could run our schools lotnger it the dogs were so taxed and amount so applied, anid we feel certain we would have fewer dogs and miore eggs and spring chickens. ,Both of the N ay bintoni schools have teachers now and doing good work.
