ELBERT H. AULL, EDITOr. ELBERT H. AULL,. WM. P. HOUSEAL, Proprietors. NEWBERRY. S. C. WEDIESDY, IMH t3, 1892. The convention on Monday was more largely attended than we ex pected it would be. The gentlemen who composed it have only the best interest of the State in view in attend ing it. The Herald and News has never been convinced of the wisdom of this movement for a March Conven tion but if the demand for a State primary is the main otfject then there can be no objection tc a convention. The Herald and News has been there all the time and we firmly believe that it is the only plan that will reunite the Democrats of South Carolina. There are just lots of people. in Newberry County, who want a direct primary and they are among all classes and conditions. Several stio' Tillman men favor a State primary. Those who: prize the unity of the white people of South Carolina shouid come forward and assert their views in favor of a primary. The party is superior to any rules that have been made heretofore, and if the people from all parts of the State, beleiving that a primary is the only thing that can preserve the in tegrity of the party, demand one, through representatives regularly elect ed under a call of the Democratic Ex ecutive Committee, the constitution can can be changed. But the question is will the Executive Cmmittee call such a convention to have this ques tion settled? The Tillm'n administration should be supported by the lawyers of the State, for it has managei to get more litigation than any ten ad ministrations in the history of our State. Just now the Coosaw matter, the agricultural ball and the taxation of railroads are in court. Much money is involved in all these cases.-Ex. But this ad ministratior:, you know, is opposed to lawyers and made consis tent warfare on all such unfortunate creatures. Sometimes, however, they have been fnnd to be ne:essary evils. Lawsuits we are having without end, and they continue to pile up. It is an evil wind, you know, that, blows no one any good. The State Convention called to meet iu Columbia on 24th inst., will assem ble at 5 p. m., so that delegates leaving home from the up coun:ry on Thurs day will arrive in ample time. The meeting will be held in the hall of the House of Representatives. * To the enq'uiry of our Silver Street correspondent, in last week's isssue in regard to the election of :rial justices, we will answer, that the rules adopted by the State Committee leave the mat ter in the hands of the County Execu tive Cognmitte. We have heard it un officially stated that the Executive * .Committee would decide not to have trial justices nominated by primary selection, but to,Jtt them be appointed as at present. The 'matter, we pre sume, will not be settled until after the new committee is appointed at the May Convention. Col.Jas. L. Orr has made two speeches -one at Greenville and one at Lau rens-arraigning Gov. Til)Jman's ad ministration for its failures and its shortcomings. He must have struck a *very sore and a very tender point. Col. Orr is a private citizen, but he opened upon by the big guns and the little ones too, of the administration. - e must have struck the bull's eye, else why all this firing at him. Col. Orr is not a candidate and positively refuses to become one for any oflice. Nearly or quite all the counties il be represented in the convention to be held in Columbia on Thursday. Senator Irby passed through New berry yesterday accompanied by Priv-. ate Secretary Tighe. *They have been resting at Laurens for the past several weeks. How the national congress has managed without the presence of Sena tor Irby we do not know, but as chair man of the Executive Co'mmittee he oft course had certain mat teis t o look after here. Our Little Mountain correspondent writes an interesting letter about the Boland family this week. It is pub * lished on the first page. "X" writes an article this week on the subject of "Public Improve.nents" and takes issue with the platform of The Herald and News published a week or two ago. Well, what we want to know is whether the people are willing to sta'nd still or whether they want to make any improvements as outlined in our platform. We believe thbe peo ple are with us. Of course no town council can do anyt hing in this direc tion unless authorized to do so by the people. Let the people have an oippor-t tunity to say what they want. Thatt is the point. Surely "X' is not sorry fl that the Opera House has been built,. As to cost, if the town will pay for th~e water and lights a company can be C formed to furnish them without the S town building the plants. But both r *plants could be built at a cost not ex- I: ceeding $50,000 or $.J0,000. t The ligh ts we have are almost worth- t< less, and as "X" says, thbose who o wn property any distance from the public square have no protection. But let the matter be agitated and let the peop)le decide. n WINTER IN THE LAP OF sPRING. Heavy Snow Storns Prevai'inr: In Iowav and Illinois.a BUrULIxToN, Iowa, March -ll.--A 13 blinding snow storm prevails here. d The storm is general throughout the b; State. b CHIcaGO, March :ll.-Repc.rts from 1i: Southern Illinoia state that heavy snow w is falling, accompanied by a strong tt wind, which drifts the snow~ badly. gc Railway traffic is suffering and thle tih THE MUNICIIAL ELECTION. The P;atforn of The Herald and News Dis cussed-An Argument Against, Which Only Proves the Necessity of Our Position. To the Editor of The Herald am News: I read your editorial platforri for our town electicn in a recent nui ber of The Herald z..nd - ews. and have since re-read it. But I cannot yet full; decide whether you meant it as quit serious, or rather as a joke. Taking it however, as meant seriously, I woudc ask the privilege of noticing it briefly If we were prepared to establish i little Utopia here is Newberry you: platform would he worthy of seriou: consideration. Or if we could ever feel quite sure of Newberry getting he; full share of the $40,000,000 pro posed by the sage of Enoree ft South Carolina, and that thih would all prove to be real money and not worthless paper, we migh venture a little. But as Utopianism has hitherto proved to be only a poetic fancy, and as we will likely have tc wait awhile for eve. t he sage's panacea we would do well perhaps to remair yet a little longer on tcrra firia, and indulge in no vain illusions. The futile efforts made some timE since to get a somewhat expensive sys tem of water works and electric ligbts, the two to cost, if I remember rightly, only $50,000 to $60,000, it seems to me ought to convince any one that om people are not yet prepared to under take expensive l:xuries, however use ful they might be at ,be same time. The fine opera house to which you al lude, and which has not yet been paid for, serves rather, I think, as a bug-a boo against such expensive enterprises, than as an incentive to others of like character. Our people are inclined to be conservative, and are indisposed to burden either their own or future gen erations with a heavy debt. They pre fer to move slowly and cautiously, and to pay as they go; and, if I am not mie taken, your suggestion of a bonded debt of half a million, or even of S200, 000 will make them more so. They have not .yet learned bow easy it is to become rich simply by the use of a printing press and a little paper. This they will doubtless, ere long, learn from our sage of Enoree and other such financial tinkers. But they have not yet got so far along. While convinced, however, that our good people are not yet prepared to undertake costly enter prises, I am quite sure they would not object to such inexpensive improve ments as they can atlord without going in debt. Our streets ought certainly to be kept in better condition than they are. Mr. Jackson ought either to have more force, or to use what he has with more skill and energy. To this all will assent. Then we migh t have, at least a few more lamps, such as they are, put up on principal street corners. But one thing we ought to insist on the new council, whoever may constitute it, promptly giving us; that is at least two or three cisterns properly located in the out-skirts of the to<<n. These cisterns, I am informed by one in a position to know, can be constructed for $250 to $300 each. Certainly the town could afford at least three such for the greater protection against fire of our present exposed suburbs. Of course an elaborate system of water works would be far preferable. But as this is likely to be a thing of the more or less distant future, we ought, in my opinion, to insist on having at least the cisterns now. They would very soon more than pay for themselves in the greater security of property. One other point in youi platform ITam inclined to notice briefly. You say '"The Herald and News is for measures now, not men." Let thbis read "meas ures and men," or "measures as well as men," and I can agtree with you. But not as it stands. We want, as you well say elsewhere, "good and true" men. We want also "P--. energetic and progressive" men. L at we want just as much, men of good moral char acter and intelligence, whbo will repre sent the t'etter moral sentiment of our people, and reflect credit on our town on all occasions. It is this so-called principle of supporting "measures" that is. "the party"-without regard to the character of the men put for ward by the "party machine" that has made our party politics so corrupt and debased all over the country. Let good citizens refuse to vote for unworthy candidates, and "party machines" will soon be taught the necessity of putting forward good mren. Dr. Park' -irst, in his recent scathing arraignment. of the Ta-nmany Hall government of New York city well and truly says: "You cannot have men of tainted reputation high in municipal authority without that fact working the discouragement of virtue, and the reduction of moral standards." This is, perhaps, even more true of a small town like New berry, where every body knows every body, than it is of a large city like New York. We cannot avoid being judged as a people by the character of those we select to govern our town and to represent us officially. How necessary, then, that we should be extremely careful in the selection of men of good character, of reasonable in tell igen ce. and of established.civic virtue, who wil' worthily represent at least the mo:'a?. if not the religious character, of ou r 3ommiunity.

Newberry has taken action. There was no bluster and sound of trumpets - in advance. Last week no one seemed to know whether there was going to be any action taken by the opposition to the present administration, or rather we should say, by those who desire to I restore peace and harmony : o the )emi ocrats of South Carolina. t A short call was published in the Observer last week for a meeting on Monday, but as no one signed it, no one seemed to know what its object was. On Monday the call was circulated and signed by seventy-two citizens of the county. The call is short and to the point. We give it herewith to gether with the names of those who signed it: THE CALL. All Democrats interested in the welfare.and harmony of the ternocratic party, and who believe that the ill feeling and liscontent, which is now so widespread within the ranks of the party. will eventually cause a ruFture, and who ate willing to lend their etorts to wards a restoration of good feeling and con fidence, and who favor the nomination of S ate othicers byprinary election-thus -ecur ing to each individual nernber the rilit to express his choice for State otlicers :t the bal lot box-are reqquested to ass';tjilb:c in mass meeting in the Court House at Newberry, S. C., on Monday, 21st instant. at 1 o'clock p. in., to elect delegates to the convention called to be held in Columbia on the '24tl in stalt. A J Livingston. T C Pool. W H Eddy. L P Miller.

Smith, of No. 6, stepped upon the Judge's stand and called the con vention to order, and nominated Col. J. C. S. Brown as chairman, and he was elected. Col. Brown, in assuming the position said: "Fellow Citizens: You have put me in a position I don't know whether I can fill or not. If you will look over my shortcomings and aid me, as I know you will, I will do the best I can. I would like every one here to feel that we are in a meeting wbich has for its object the good of all the people, and that we will all work together for the restoration of peace and harmony and good will amongst all our citizens." Mr. S. B. Aull, of No. 5, was elected Secretary. Mr. J. F. J. Caldwell suggested that the Secretary read the call for the meeting, which was done. Mr. Caldwell then said in substance: "It is desired that somre one express the object of the meeting, and although I have not been selected or suggested to do so, yet I take the liberty. to state wh.s we have been brought together. We are here for the purpose of assist ing in a movement to restore unity and harmony to the Democratic party of South Carolina, and for no other purpose. Whatever causes or persons have brought about the present state of affairs in South Carolina, which we all deplore, or whatever else may have produced this state of things, sve must all concede-all intelligent persons must agree-that there is serious dis cord in the Democratic party, and the man whbo denies it is not open to reason at all. it is incumbent upon all per sons who are interested in the welfare of the State to propose such measures as will bring the people together as formerly. .It should be our purpose to carefully avoid any reference to the campaign of 18.90 or t he persons whbo figutred in it, as that will touch wounds already too sore. The one thing to be desired is the unification and solidifi cation of the Democratic party int South Carolina. Having this purpose in view, I beg leave to offer the followirng resolutions: WHEREAS, Serious divisions and dis cord have arisen in the Democratic Party of Southb Carolina, nowv and here tofore, attended with much personal ill-will, atd threatening the unity and efficien.-y of that party: and WVHEREAS, Future c'ntroversy-aud dissatisfaction can best bie avoided by primary elections in which every dem ocrat may by his ballot express his choice of p)ublic officers; now, therefore, be it Resol red, By the conservative Demo crats of Newberry County, in publie meeting assembled, 1. That it is desirable that the con servative element of the Democratic Party of thbis State confer together as to the best method of restoring the har mony and unity of action until recent ly characterizing the countsels and con duct of that party. 2. That a demand ought to be made upon the persons and collections of per sons, now or during the current year. claiming to constitute the officers and governing body of the Democratic Party of South Carolitna, for primtarv elections throughout the Stalte, for the nomination of Democratic candidates for all State offices. 3. Thait for tihe furtherance of the oh-L jacts herein above set forth, delegates should be appointed to meet similar delegations fronm other counties in the convention to be held in the city of Columbia, on the twentyv-fourth day of March, instant-suc(h delegates being snbject to such directions as this meet ing shall deemt proper to declare. "You will perceive, Mfr. Chairman, 'a that it is proposed by these resolutions to present otne question to the conv en tion) which is to mssembtlle in Colunmbla -the one object to wvhioh the conven tion should to address itself, leaving, of e course, thte ri!zbt to this ir Ing to i' futrther instruet its delegates if it so de- a sires." The resolutions were socondled atnd enlis were mnade for "Livingston," ' "Li vi n ston." Mir. A. .J. Livingston said: "Mir. ('hairmnan: I ant not accustonmed to publnlic spleaki nt, bult its I hmave b een valled upon, I will respond as best I I :-an. In the call for this meetitng it n ~ays, those interested ini restorinrg peace and harmtony to thte Denmocratie partyt Is there a oman here who does ntot watnt ki to see that end accomlishted? I say, no, without he is of the opinion that hat is the otnly way for him to get . ifice. We want a prinmarv, not byv aounties, btut bythieState. We prol ose 'o go into the convention and ask it. If a hey vote uts down we will have to sub it. H"w would it sound to give us a .rimary by townships in tile c'otlties or sheritl and clerk, &c. We (iont1~ valnt it. and neither do we want it by onuties for State otficers." The resolutions were again read by he Secretary and ndspted an a whole. Mir. Caldwell said he thotught we >ught to set forthb clearly the objects hat are moving tus in holding thts neeting and in taking part in the con 'ention to be held ini Columbia. He hought the convention should confine tself:2trictly to the demand for a pri nary e'oction, for thte reason that we bink tuis is the thing that will es-ore harmony in the Democrat ic~ anks. The question has been pro-a I this county would do if theconventior in Colurnbia should decide to niak< nornination. I would answer veri reaiily that they should oppose goir into any Ioiinations. Further, if th( convention should determine to go int( nominations, my answer would be, thal our delegation would have to declin( to take any part in it. He thought th( delegates should be instructed to this efect so that they wo,.:ld know where to aold their hands, and he offered a set of resolutions to that elleet. They are published helow as aniended. Mai. A. J. Gibson said: "I rise to second the resolutions because they set forth my position more fully thain I can do it myself." (ol. L. P. Miller said: "I don't think my frienrd ,Mr. Caldwell) is exac.ly logical. I desire the unity of t he good people of Smuth Carolina. I do not think our delegates should he train tneled in any other way than by an ex pression of the opinion of this meeting. I f there should .he any wild cat scheme arise, our delegates would he bound hand and foot. We shouhd send good and di.creet men who understand the sentirment of this community, and then if any concatenation of circunistaices should arise they will be free to use their own judgnient. We flesire unity and harmony. When we go into that conivention we should be governed by he will of the majority of the good p.r; le there areni ii 'thI. I w uld ask miy friend to noilifV his opinion. I am yielding iy judgment in attending this convention to-day. For a long time I was opposed to this rnovement, but when I saw the names of the good and true men 'vho were taking a stand, Ifelt, as a true man n: self. I could not longer stand aloof, and refuse to aid in making a fight f.r the peace and har ninny of the white people of South Carolina. I do not fee! it would be right to sit iuiet." Mr. M. h. Gary said he desired to second the suggestion of Col. Miller. He thought the delegates should go down there free men. Mr. J. K. P. Gogg:.ns said he thought the delegates should be ulistructei and should be permitted to use their judg im1en t. Dr. W. E. Pelham said be agreed with Col. Miller in great measure in what he said, He wa a simple Demo crat-one of the p>eople of Newberry. "I yield to no man," he continued, "in my allegiance to the Denocrati, party. It is a precious heritage which I have. There is no one here who wishes more than I do to see the white people reunited. I do not want a sep arate organiz-ation outside of the Den ocratic party." He thought we should send delegates untranuele<d, except to oppose noirinatiorns. Mr. Cald well said the argu'tnts on the other side, as able as they had been, had not shaken his judgment, but if a ruajority favored the amendment to strike out, that portion of the resoli tions which instructed the delegates not to participate in the convention if it decided to nominate, he would yield. He thuuJht the idea of making nonii nations was revolutionary, and the very thing so many of us objected to two years ago. The question was put, and the l zmlendment was adopted. The reso lutions were then adopted as follows: Resolred, That the interests and duty of the Democrats of South Carolina de mand that strenuous effort be made to harmonize and unify all elements and persons constituting the Democratic Party of the State. and that any divis ion of that party into two or more or ganizations ought to be avoided so long as there appears a possibility of sectur ing the rights of all members of the party. Therefore, resolved 2. That the (delegates to he elected by this meeting to represent the conserva tive Democrats of N" -berry County, at the convention ca. .d to meet in Columbia on the 24th day of March in stant, be, and they are hereby instruct ed to oppose, any nominatiod by the said convention, of candidates for Sta te ofiices, and to oppose and refuse to par ticipate in any primary election pro posed to be ordered by that eniven tion; hut that they shall confine them selves to such publication of grievances as may he considered proper, to a dhe mand for a primary election for the nomination of State otticers, and to such organization as may be needed in carrying out the purposes above set forth. Mr. J. K. P. Goggans moved that the convention go into the election of eigbt delegates. Capt. J. WV. Gary placed in nonmina tion the following genitleneni, and there being no ot her noiminations they were unanimously elected by acelamiat ion: A. J. Livingstoii, P. C. Smith, L. P. Miller. A. .1. Gibson, C. D). Hunter, . F. J. Ciid well, Jno. M. Suber, W. H. Hunt, JIr. On motion of Mfr. Goggans each (dee rate was empowered to select his own titernate, in case he could not attend, and also that the (delegation he~ em powered to fill any vacatncies. On motion of Col. Hunt, Cd.
