ELBERT H. AUtLi, IEDITOP. ELBERT H. AUiLL, Prop WM. P. HOUSEAL, prietor NEWBERRY, S. C. WEDYESMY, LIRCI 30, 1892. THE MA:CR CONVENTION AND ITS NOMINATIONS. The nominations, or suggestions ra ther, made last week are, so far as we know, good men. The Herald and News has been on record for two years for John C. Sheppard f,'r Governor, and we shall advocate his election, or rather nomination. The other names on the ticket are good men. We did not favor the holding of this convention, and were opposed to nom inations by it; and in favoring the nomination of Gov. Sheppard we are in no sense endorsing the holding of the convention. We took the same position on this occasion that we did when the March Convention was held in 1890: that the people had a right to assemble whenever they saw proper, provided they assembled in a lawful manner; but we only saw a <ivision of the white people in it, and that has been the result. The present conven tion, however, was to restore harmony and unity. But be that as it may, both conventions have been held and the nominations made, and we must now grapple with the situation as it presents itself. We believe that the convention has, in a measure at least, been successful in making the way easy for a reunited Democracy in South Carolina, and if it accomplishes that it may be well that it was held. The platform is conservative and dignified, and no one can object to it. The faction it represents is pledged tc abide the result of the September Con vention whatever that may be, and precludes the possibility of an inde pendent ticket. That is right and proper. And now let the fight be made in the proper tone and spirit, and all will end well. For the sake of peace and harmony it may be as well that no formal de mand was made for a direct primary. 'The constitulion of the party provides that no amendment can be made be fore the September Convention, and to have gotten a direct primary, its pro visions would have had to be di6re garded, and we have too much disre gard of the constituted authorities already. The Herald and News is not now and never has been an advocate of Tillman and Tillman methods. He went into office by an attack upon other men as good as he, and whole sale charges and denunciation, none of which he was ever able to substantiate. He made promises he knew he could not keep, and the light of later events has shown he did not keep. The Her ald and News is unalterably and con stitutionally opposed to all such meth ods We shall support Governor Shep pard, and hope to see him elected. He has a good and clean record, and the short time he was Governor was ac ceptable to all the people; and his only message to the Legislature is admitted to have been one of the ablest State papers ever presented to that body. But, holding this position, we shall accord to every other free citizen the right to hold to his own opinions and to express them. We want to see this campaign pitched on a high plane and free from personalities and abuse and vituperation. Let us remember that we are all Democrats and give all the credit for honest motives and high purposes. Let the will of the majority prevail. Let us work fe.r what we consider the good of the State. Our esteemed friends who are trying to tear to pieces the private characters of the gentlemen who were suggested at the March Convention last week forget some very important things. The editors Gantt of the Register and Perry of the Evenir'g Democrat, be cause they can find nothing else to do, assail the Rev. D). WV. Hiott because he is a preacher, and say that a preacher has no business in politics. That may be true and it may not. We are not going to argue that point. but only in kindness suggest to these t vo esteemed brethren that we have heard of some preachers in politics who had consid erable influence, and that it had been spent recently in aid of the "Dominant element," so to speak. These brethren of the quill may tread on their own toes if they keep up this sort .of argu mnent. But when they have been here longer and grown older tbey will learn better. We take up considerable space this week with a report of the March Con vention. We suppose our readers will be interested in seeing what was done, whether they endorse it altogether or not. A ppearances indicate the doom of free coinage through the indefinite postponement of a direct vote on the Bland bill. On a motion of Mr. Bur rows, Republican, of Michigan, to table the bill, the vote pro and con developed a tie, being 148 to 14S. The vote of the Speaker was required to decide, who cast it against tabling, and thus seemed to save the measure, which, indeed, would have been impossible without a resort to gag-law tacties of the Tom Reed variety. This alternative was pa triotically spurned by the Demnocrats, and the free coinage bill has according ly been relegated to the House calen dar, doubtless to slumber. Its friends did all they honorably could do to carry it to success. Our esteemed contemporary at Pros nerity in its report of the mass meeting hiere last week labors to make it appear that it was composed of lawyers and "sore heads." Now that will not do. Let us all tell the truth as we go along. It is hard to do sometimes, it seems, with some people, but it is 'eetter in the end. Edgefield "is in it" for Governtor. J3t andidates from that county. SENATOR IItBY AND THE BANKS. Last week Senator Irby published a statement to the effect that he was a stockholder in one of the banks of Lau rens and had advised the farmers to borrow money from the banks for their necessities, but when he learned that the banks were charging more interest than he thought they ought, he had offered his stock for sale, as he did not care to be a party to the oppression of the farmers, nor to make money in that way. When we read the statement it im pressed us that he was trying to make poliical capital out of it, and the state :nent was a cheap bid for commenda tion for sympathy for this class of our fellow citizens. Now the statement is made that the stock which Senator Irby held in this bank had been paid for by his note which he did not pay when it became due, and the sale was forced. Whether this is true or not we do not know, but Senator Irby's statement cannot raise him in the estimation of right think ing people. With Colonel Sheppard as Governor, every farmer in this State had as well turn over a deed to his land to the first squad of railroad prospectors that comes along.-Register. Well, now, we had just as well tell the truth as we go along. Life is too short to indulge in misrepresentation. The editor of the Register knows or ought to know that the above para graph is misleading and there is no danger in the direction indicated. We invite a perusal of the article published this week from the Hon. Jno. W. Scott. The matter of making a living and paying our debts is of far more importance than the wrangle of politics, but for all that our people should take enough interest to see to it that we select the very best men for public positions. We want men who have the best interest of the State at heart. The Register speaks of the lonely feeling of one "hay seed" who was in the convention last Thursday. We don't know just what is meant by a "hay seed" for we never apply such epithets to any of our fellow citizens , but if it i's meant to convey the idea that farmers were absent, we still don't understand it for the roil shows 173 farmers. This battle is not one of class, preja dice or personal abuse. This campaign should be pitched on a high plane. There is no use of abus ing one another. Let the issues be discussed in a dignified manner, and when the people speak, let all of us bow in submission to their will. That is Democracy. Some very curious arguments are being used now. Those persons who favored a primary in I888, but now op pose one, are trying to parade the in consistency of those who favor a pri mary, before the public, and vindicate their position by proving the inconsist ency of "the other fellow.'" That is argum 'nt and statesmanship of a high In another column we publish Col. Keitt's bitter and scathing attack on the Tillman administration, more as a curiosity than anything else, for while the Colonel, when he gets on the right track, writes with a great deal of force, but his financial vagaries and the fact that he is a persistent office seeker will, to a very great extent, neutralize thbe effect of what he says.--Darlington Herald. The Herald is very much mistaken. Col. Keitt has not, to our knowledge, been a candlidate for office for the past twenty years, or possibly longer, ex cept when he was spoken of as a candi date for United States Senator. Col. Keitt is not seeking office now, so far as we know, but has the good of the State and its people at heart. We admuit there are offlice-holders. There are offices to fill and there must be men to fill them, and the people are going to select men in sympathy with their ideas and wishes to fill them. They are certainly not going to select themi from the political paddocks of their opponents. And the sooner thbese malcontents realize this fact, the better it will be for all concerned.--Eveingz Democrat. Will the Democrat please tell what the present administration has done for the people. What has it done to benefit them? How much better off' are the people byv selecting "men in sympathy with the people." Tfhere is a lot of talk about being in "symipathy with the people'," and being "the peo ple's candidate," and all that sort of bosh, but it is getting time to give us some thing real and tangible-somxe thing that we can take hold of. If there has ever been a time when there was a bi;:ger cry of hard times, it was before the recollection of this editor. Now e do not say that the administration is entirely responsible for this condi Ition of affairs, but when these claims are being set up of an ad ministration being "in sympathy with the people," e naturally ask what good that sort of sympatby with the people," has done the people. Let us have the facts. That is all we ask. It is a plain and simple -equest. A Card of Th,anks. Mr. Editor- Please permit me to at tmpt an expression, in this pu blie way, f my heart-felt appr-eciation of the nany very tender and delicate atten tions shown my dear children-mv sick and dying son and his bereaved vife-in t he hour of deepest sorrow and distress. Surely, yours is a community f refined Christian courtesy and sini ere sympathy. The shadows in that (larkeed room of death were relieved y this manifestation of disinterested fr~iendsh:p, and the anguish of bleeding, earts soothed and comforted by the sweet and kindly ministrations to the aflicted. Accept, in behalf of your com nunity, a grateful father's thanks. Jas. Ro(ERS. sIX AT ONE BIRTH. imost Eiual to the Ca"e Publihied on Page First. Hoty Sr'nixas, Mi1ss., M1arch 3. Mrs. C. K.

Editor Herald and News: Having demonstrated in my last article by an array of authorities incontrovertible, that the value of mjoney does not de pend on the material; but on- its egal tender qualities given to it by law, 1 will now proceed to show that there is no analogy between the systems of tiuance proposed by the writer and the Fre-ch Assignats, the continental money of our ancestors, issued during the revolutionary war of 1776, or the Cedulas of the Argentine Republic. The system proposed contemplates the issue by the United States Goveru iment of legal tender notes receivable for all debts public and private-real nc.ney, not promises to pay. These notes to be loaued through the States to the people, on long tune, based on unencumbered real estate where the fee simple title is unquestioned, and on nun perishable products for one year, all. at a low rate of interest properly re st:ricted and secured. The notes will be based, not only on the property of tte entire State, but on that of the United States, whose wealth is increas ing at the rate ot $150, tJ,000 a month. Notes of this description now ''on mand a premium in London and Paris. ti.e great commercial centres of the world, over gold and silver coin. The French Assignats were notes issued by the French Republic during the French revolution, when France was at war with bonded Europe, and had an army of 1,400,000 men in the ;ield. These notes were based on :he icontiscated estates of the clergy and uobility who tied the country. France was torn by internal disseusions. A large portion of her people favored the restoration of monarchy. The basis of these notes was practically worthless and the commercial world knew it. The restoration of monarchy would be the restoration of the confiscated es tate: and the destructien of the basis of tt notes, hence their depreciation. The Confederacy that issued tho Con tinental notes during the Revoiution ary war of 1776 was not a government proper. Under the "Articles of Con federation and perpetual union" no power was granted to levy and collect taxes; hence the Contineutal notes had no basis. Under the land mortgage system of the Argentine Republic a few favored corporations were chartered to place the Cedulas or mortgage lands. They were sold for what they would bring, the government guaranteeing the in terest on the bonds which was as high as S per cent. There was Co limit to the issue of these bonds, and great frauds.were prac ticed in the assessment of the lauds. Under this system the money was bor rowed and the government paid high interest. Under the system proposed, the government creates money and gets interest. There is no analogy be tween the financial system proposed and those above named. If adopted it will meet all the de mands of business. The notes should never depreciate. They can at any time be retired, dollar for dollar, by taking up and canceling the mortgage bonds on which they were issued. We are now shipping two-thirds of all the cotton we make to foreign couu tries to be manufactured. The great profit in cotton is in the manufacturing. The writer had occasion recently to buy some plow lines. He paid 20 cents per pound net cash fur themt. No doubt they were made out of cotton that cost 5 cents or less per pound. What an enormous profit. Justead of shipping the raw cotton, factories ought to be established and every pound manufac tured where it is grown and the goods shipped. If the financial system proposed is adopted it will give us the money to build and equip the factories. We will then keep at home the profits of our industry and.no longer be the hewers of wood and drawers of water for other nations. Respectfully, KI~ Enoree Plantation, S. C., la'tch 17, 1892. "Civib" Re plies to Colonel Keitt. To the Editor of The Herald and News: I regret to see that our friend of the Enoree Reservation has izone bck to his idols, 31aeune and D)un ing, who have so often led him astray. I had entertained some hope ot late that he had seen the error of his wa.s, and would hereafter seek the intormna tion on which to build up his elaborate and fantastic schemes from more relia ble sources. But this hope is blasted in the bud. In the last Herald and News our sage regales us with a great variety of eitatious1 from mxore or less distinguish ed authorities as to what constututes money. Some of these are applicable to the question at issue betw.een us, and somec of them do not touch it at all. Somec of them may be essentially correct, hut some of themi are manifest ly garbled, or so changed as to entirely misrepresent the views of their author. Take, for instance, his pretended cita tion from Daniel Webster : "When all our paper money is made payable in specie on demand, it will prove the most certain nmeans that can be used to fertilize the rich man's field by the sweat of the poor man's brow." Now, everybody at all familiar with 31r. Webster's views on paper currency will se at once that this quotation repre sents them as being exactly the oppo siteof what they really were. The coun try never had a statincher and more osistent op)ponent of an irredeemable and legal-tender paper currency, not even in Alexander Hamilton, thau Mr. Webster. On one notable occasion in the United States Senate, in 18311, lhe says: "Of all t he con trivances for cheat ing the laboring class of mankind, none has been more eff'ectual than that wvhich deludes them with paper nmon ey." H-ow is our friend going to recon cile this language wit h his pretended uotation'. On the same memorable casion, too, he used the following oft-qunoted and ever-to- be-remuemibered lanuage: "Most unq'uestionably there is no legal-tender in 'his country, un *der the authority of this govern ment or ny other, but gold anu silver, either the coinage of our mints or foreign oins at rates regulated by Cougress. rhis is a constitutional principle per fectly plain and ot the very hignest imi portane. TIhe States are expressly prohibited froru miaking anything but gold and silver a legal-tender in pay net of debis, and although no express )rhibition is implied to Congress, yet as Cogress has no power granted to it n this respect but to coini mlotey andl regulate tue value of foreign coins, it learly has iio powver to su bstitute paper or anything else for coin as a legal-ten der ini payment of debts and in dis charge of contracts." These views of the great orator and statesat, the great "Expounder of the Costitution," its Mr. Webster was called, were delivered in the United States Senate ou a memorable occa ion, in t he p)resence of such giant in tellects as Clay and Calbotun and Ben ton, and were unchallenged by any one. If Mr. Clay thought differently, as our sage would have us believe, then was the time for him to speak out. In fact. this was the view universally enter tained, both in and out of Cougress, during ali our early history, and no one honut of putting any otlter interpre taion on our Constitution until, in S11, under the pressure of ihe gre.it emergency of the war, was opened this Pandora box of evils by passing the fa flou legal tender act. But this act1 was intended by its ant hors only as a ihought of as a permanency. Unfortu oatey, however, in 18S4 our Supremei c., t hen compoed of piinie in in tellect, compared with Mr. Webster. in a moment of temporary mental ab erration, or forgetfulness of their posi lion as the guardians of the Constitu tion, declared this act coustitutiunal, and thereby fixed upon the country all the uncertainties and dangers of uo sound money agitation. This is one of the enief evils from which the country is now suffering, and trom wl ~ it will contine to suffer until sooie means is found to have this decision of the court Ieversed and to return to the correct interpretation of the Constitu tion as fixed by the "repeated, contin uous and unanimous decisions by the court itself, under a succession of chiefs without a break," as Mi. Ban croft expressed ii. We see from the above how garbled or utterly false must be the pretendted quotation of our sage froni Mr. Web ster. The same might no doubt be shown of most of the others. I do not, Of course, impute this garbling auti falsitication to our friend, for I aii sure lie would not be guilty of such a tlhinl-'. But, as I have inor: than once had oc casion to show, this seems to be the chief stock in trade of Messrs. Mactiue and Dunning. They seem cap>able of any kind of misrepresentation or out right falsehood for the sake of duping their unsuspecting readers. The strange thing is that our friend does not see this, and cease to he nis!ed by t hern. III coecusion, the sage's intimnation that Mr. MeCulloch "tertilized his field" while Secretary of the Treasurv, is utterly unworthy of so intelligent a man, and I have no reply to wake to it, excep,t to so characterize it. Mr. 'Ie Culloch stands entirely to,) high in the public esteem for the eniinent services he has rendered the country for his good natne to be in the least tarnished by any such un worthy unsinuations. ( is. GEN. 11AMIPTON'S FOiRTUNE. He is Now Interested in a Pig M. xican Sliver Mine. The Savannah, News publishes the foilow ing ; "Wade Hampton was a millionaire or very nearly one before the war, but of late years fortune has frowned on him. It is pleasant to learn, therefore, that he has become interested in a Mexican silver mine in one vein of which there is $-00t),000 in sight, while other veins not yet opened promise good returns." . Gen. Hampton could not be seen yesterday, but Mr. Frank Hampton threw some light on the matter. He says the mine is one discovered sonme time ago by Gen. Hampton's son, Alfred, and owned by him. The Gen eral has aasociated himself with his son and is now engaged in helping him organize a large company to work it. The mine bears a long name and is in Central Mexico. It gives evidence of having been worked to some extent by Mexicans in years gone by. A party of mining experts have just started from New York to go to the mine and make a thorough investi gation of its resources. The Railroads Will Pay. [Special to Columbia Register] CHARLESTON, March 26.--Judge Simonton to-day filed a decision in the railroad tax cases. The decree is that the railroads deposit with the Clerk of the Court within ten days a certificate cheec payable to each Coun ty Treasurer, the check to such Treas urer being for the sum of mionecy here to!'-re tendered to him by tbe railroad as the sunm admitted to be due ; that the said clerk deliver to each of said Treasurers or to his attorney the check so draiwn ; that upon the delivery of such check if the bank upon which it is drawn rernain solvent it shall be re eived and accepted as oif the day of the original tender with the sanme force, effect and operation to every ex tent and pu'rpose and inference what soever as it the money was acttualiy received at that dlay. This is a victory for the State, as it not only secures the tinouey but by having it thmus paid saves about $2,1000 in ollicers' fees. WH1AT TIlE STATE IIAS LOST.
