ELBERT H. 1 vLL , raT rTo. .EWBRILRY. S . i%ED.LIS,D iY, APRtIL l:3IS'";. A GOOD MOVE. New York is not the ord,y city which has its "Piinting-House Square," or round either. Newberry is in it, so to speak. Th.: Herald and News moved from the little house on the cor ner where it had been for so many years, and has relocated in the brick building partly occupied by the Ob server and also by Mr. D. B. Wheeler, sewing machine agent. The Herald and News office is in the rear end next door to the Observer oiice and the edi torial sanctum is in the front portion, which was formerly occupied by MIr. Wheeler, he having "moved up" one door into the room (front half petitioned off) heretofore used as a storage room. It is a kind of triangular arrangernent, but comfortable and compact, and we cordially invite all our friends, country and town, to inspect The Herald and News' portion of "Printing-House Square." We are thus explicit in de scription because we want everybody to "catch on" immediately as to where our place of bus.iness is, and further to know that Mr. Wheeler has movcd he doesn't stay here now. The above explanation will account for scarcity of original matter and other deficiencies this week. The late cold wave struck us just in the middle of our move and (etc., you all know the attendant incidents and accidents pe culiar to a "move)". The Teachers' Association. The NewbErry County Teachers' As sociation met at Johlistone Academy on Saturday, the 9th intant. The as sociation wan :resided over by Prof. Evans, principal of the Graded School. Mrs. Maggie Tarrant secretary. After the reading of minutes of pre ceding meeting and calling the roll, Miss Janie Chalwers read an essay on the importance of properly teaching reading in the schools. She treated the subject in good style and presented matters in a very elegant and thought ful manner. F. W. Higgins also read an article on the same subject, which was well treated and full of thought. Mrs. Jane A. Long, in a few well timed remuarkz., gave her views as to the proper mode of teaching reading. The necessity of Bible reading in schools was the next sutject before the association. The first ezsay on this subject was read by T. W. Keitt. He thought that the Bible should have a place in every school and should be read much by the classes. The next article on this subject was read by .\rs. Mattie W. Reid. She handled the subject fully and in the most effective manner. The impor tance of the Bible as the foundation of a thorough system of morality was elaborately and ably expressed. Her -essay was highly spoken of by many who heard it. Col. J. R. Leavell, by invitation, made a few remarks on the value and importance of reading the Bible, not only in the schools but in families. Arthur Kibler thought the Bible should be read in schools, but should not be used as a text book; no attempt should be made to teach the doctrines of the Bible in the schools. T. W. Keitt thought the general principles of morality should be taught from the Bible, but no special dogmas. Mrs. Maggie Tarrant spoke of tne importance of tlae Bible as a rule of life. Mrs. Jane A. Long also spoke of the great importance of the Bible as an in structor and the good effects observed on the life and conduct of the young through its influence. Fractions was the next subject on the programme, and Prof. Sligh was appointed to open, but he said he was so very hungry, and weak therefrom, he did not feel that he could talk at all. Through sympathy the good people of the neigb borhood spread a most savory and bountifui dinner and invited every body to partake. The invitation was not long in being accepted; and if Prof. Sligh became too hungry to discuss fractions in all their phases in less time than a week thereafter, we sympathize sincerely with those who furnish him board. After dinner was over the audience again repaired to the academy, and Prof. Sligh being called on discussed thoroughly the subject of fractions and the best mode of teaching them. He presented the subject completely, but in a plain manner. In his "intro ductory" remarks he said he felt much better than before dinner; but we could not help thinking that his voice sounded very much like his waistband was too tight. 0Prof. Evans also enlarged upon the manner of teaching fractions in a com prehensive talk, and made his illustra tions so plain that every teacher could, easily understand his points. Prof. Evans showed himself familiar with his subject, and no doubt he is quite as easy and plain in his examples in the sch(ol room. MIr. Jennings followedi with his views on fractions and gave his mode of! teaching this branch of knowledge. T. W. Keitt moved thbat the thanks of the association be tendered the pa tromus of Johnstone Academy for their hospitality. And the dinner was so nice, so abundant, and given with such a hearty good will, that the vote of thanks was well deserved. FACTIO)N FIGHLTS IN LOUISIANA. Two Democratic and Two lRepubflcau Can didates in the Field for Governor. NEW OnL.EANs, April 7.--When thet maijority of the com,mitte'e of seven, three Fosterites and Col. Young, who had been suggested by t he Foster coml mittee and accepted by the McEnery committee to canvass the election had thrown out enough votes to elect Foster, it was generally believed that the 3Ic- I Enery party would withdraw from the contest, but a fter earnest and prolonged C conference with the MIcEnerv commit-' tee, Judge MIcEnery was fi~ually pre vailed upon to continue the contest. There are nowv twvo Demcratic and two Republican candidates in the field for Governor, with the chances favoring the suecess of Leonard, Republican. 0 A DISREP'UTAELE DEAL MADE EY Lot'ISIANA. NEW ORLEANs. April 9.-Rumors a have been current for several days, and o generally believed, that the McEnery c people, the lottery and the Leon'rd r wing of the Republican party have Id formed a combination to eleet Leonard, his wing to deliver the Republican dele-| S gation for Harrison at the M1inneapolis It convention and the lottery to provide id $50,000 for the State campaign for a In hzudsome donation to carry this StatelC in the Harrison campaigii. The rumor is confirmed by the admission of a n prominent lottery stockholder that such ;p a combination had been made, the mo ney provided and a messenger dis patched. Some of the ward bosses ad-u luit 3MeEnery is being run simply to a imeln their city ticket, and with no hope | b of eiection. The MIeEnery lapers have 1st reinstated their ticket, although they f L.d taken it from their columns. j TALK AImOUT T LIt:RT. iit is Said to have Written Pol:, of Third Party Fame. [Speci. :o News and Courier.] WAssIoNG o, April S.-There is a rumor floating around in the South Carolina colony which, if sustained, may cause Col. WV. J. Talbert consider able trouble in reaching the goal of his political ambition-a seat in Congress Iron the 2d district. Several days ago I learned frori a well-known South Caro linian that Col Talbert some time since wrote a letter to Col. L. L. Polk, presi (lent of the N ational Farmers' Alliance, in which he declared in favor of the Third Party. It is also stated that Col. Talbert made a rank Third Party speech at Oc.la. Now, without claiming to have read the letter of Col. Talbert myself, I saw a gentleman who is familiar with its contents and may produce the text of it later on. The subject has caused considerable gossip and speculation among the South Carolinians here, and it i; freely predicted that the 2d district will not be represented in the next Con gress by a Third Party man. The ma jority of the voters in that district are supposed to be Democrats, aud they do not propose at this stage of the game to throw away their influence in national polities by fol:owing theJerrySinpson Ton Watson -quad. Besides, there is nothing to indicate that "Uncle George" Tillman has grown weary of Congres sional life, and there is certainly no signs of failing popularity, so far as he is individually concerned, in his dis trict. "Uncle George" has his own ideas on certain subjects, but there is never any doubt as to where be stands when Democratic is,ues are involved. He has the courage of his convictions, and is perfectly independent in giving ex pression to them whenever the occasion arises. He will give Col. Talbert a lively contest for the nomination, and those who urc'ess to know the seuti ment in the 2d district predict that "Uncle George" will knock the Colonel out in the first round. TALRIERT CLA3?IS To BE A DEMOCRAT, BUT HE ISIN FAVOItOF THEOCALA DEMANDS, LNew; and Courier.] CoLUMIA, April 1.-There are not a few politicians here who are of the opinion that in the event of the nomi nation of Cleveland or any other Demo crat opposed to the Alliance plattforn, at the Nationa' Convention, there will be a Third Party in South Carolina. For some reasou it is supposed that W. Jasper Talbert :s going to be one of the leaders of such a movement. A tele gram was received here stating that Col. Talbert had written a letter to President Polk, in Washington, endors ing the Third Party movement. I called on Col. Talbert this morning at his residence to ascertain what, if any, truth therewasin the rumor of his Third Party declarations. He was quite pleasant and affableand said that he did not exactly understand the significance of the rumor, but called attention to the interview with him published about a year ago, in which he took a position in the middle of the political road and which he dcclares he has never changed. "I have written no letter to Col. Polk, or anyone else," he said, "advocating the Third Party. Everything I have either said or writ ten has been on the line of my original stand, and identical with the policy I had when I wrote my last letter to The News and Courier. "Within the last two weeks I have1 made fully six speeches in which I reiterated that South Carolina wanted no Third Party, because we 'do not need it. That third parties do not live long in South Carolina, and that I judge from the short life of the move ment of the same kind about two years ago. My position is that we are mak ing our fight as Alliance men in the Democratic ranks, through the Demo cratic primaries and at the Democratic elections as Democrats, supporting such men as stand on the Ocala plat form. This is what I said to you in Orangeburg, and I also then stated to you that there were not enough news papers in the State to mike me change my position. Col. Peck or anybody I else is at perfect liberty to publish any letter I've ever written so far as I'm concerned. "Remember, I have always con tended that there is a sharp distinction between the national and State politics in South Carolina. While I consider our State Government is in good shape ad is not suffering from mismanage ment, I attribute the present depresedt condition of our people to the faulty national financial legislation. The A lli ace people have formulated demand ~ after demand which have been respect- E fully sent to the legislators in Wash ington. Now the relief asked for is ~ surely needed and must be had, and if there is no chance on the face of the earth to get this relief from existing ~ parties when that point is reached and the people find that relief cannot be had, then it will be time enough to look about for the people's party or anyr other party that will give it. If this relief cannot be had in any other way tban by wiping out of existence both f the other old parties, why then the inevitable must come. The relief must be had. "I shall claim, as I have previously e longer aucned to convince the peo- n >e of this fact. Our sutrroundlings pro- h laim tlmt the time has arrived for the n ~ret West, the great South and the b orthwest to link their hands and t< earts together and maarch to t he ballot- Ii >ox and take possession of the Govern- j net, re'store it to the princip!es of our Iy athers and ru, it it the.interest of the >eople.

After four tmonths of dis-| ti. ussioni about the poor negro and the Ih gild Indian they have passe-i a resoln on of.Lsincere sym pathy' for t he poor .sn bite man.

To the Editor of The ii:r.... and Scws: On last Tuesday Presidteit Hol and took the Seniors and Theological tudents of Newberry College on a eological excursion to Little Moun ain. The day was an ideal spring day, ust suitable for such an outing. The ride of sixteen miles in the fresh morn rg air was so invigorating that we had cearcely arrived at the foot. of the 7ountain before all coats were left be ind and the ascent began. Some .arried the telescope, others hanrers, tatchels, etc., for the purpose of inves igatiug and securing mineralogical ;ec'mens, while the rest of us carried ;trong sticks to assist in clhibing. About this time our frisnd, Gus Shealy, he politician of Little Mountain, oined us. And indeed he was quite in addition to our party, because of lis knowledge of the place, and also ecauseof the laughter his witty re narks often called forth. Dr. Holland explained the formation if the mountain, the era in which it was formed, cause, etc., also the kinds >f rocks, their composition, such as uartz, feldspar, tale, mica, etc., etc. We might go on thus applying such :erms to niany things found that the )rdinary observer would never notice, >ut they would not interest the reader, and so we desist. You say: But didi ,ou find no gold or lead mhines? No, hough we sought diligently. Both of hese metals may be there (:) in aburn lsice, but it will take an expert to find hem. After a ramble of two and a Lbalf hours we returned to our vehicles tnd partook of a most excellent dinner. \ow, ladies,do not smile at the thought )f a party composed entirely of men laving a fine picnic dinner, for there vere those in the company who under tood the art of spreading such a din ier about as well as most ladies. And e would not have the young ladies latter themselves in thinking we could iot enjoy the dinner because they were iot present. However much their miling faces wculd have been appreci ted, we must say that never was a linner enjoyed more than that one. fter an hour's rest we again began to amble, having been joined by Dr. J. . Seas and Mar. A. H. Boland, and for wo hours we made our way, leaping om rock to rock, running dowvn the nountain sides, and engaging in vari us ports, as college boys are wont. ~he following are some things we aw that very likely many never ~new were there: On the eastern peak are some Indian raves, or rather rock piles, which tra lition says are Indian graves. On the estern peak, the west side, there is a arge roik which projects from the nountain side sufficiently to shelter everal men. Oh the north aide of the ame peak there is the yellow violet ave (the name given by our party be ause so many of these flowers grew tear by). It is said that this cave once >roved a safe hiding place fo'r a fugi ive slave. Beautiful ferns, mountain daisies, -ellow and blue violets and other lowers were found in abundance. tround the foot of the mountain beve a springs can be found where the eary may refresh themselves with he cool, sparkling water. It was found by careful calculation1 hat the flow of one of these springs ras 1.5300 gallons per day. Tbe de ightful breeze, beautiful flowers and ool, refreshing water, and also the rand v'iew to be had from the summit f 'be mountain, make this a grand lace for the pleasure seeker. We believe that this trig, was of in stimable benefit to all as a day of rest ud pleasure, as well as a geological xpedition. This has not been writter, for those rho think they know all about theI imous Little Mountain, but for other easons, therefore we ask thenm to with old their criticisms. ONE OF THEE PA1nTY.

He c reached the last sermuon .Johruie ever 'I card, anid he preached the first scr- d to on Sunday last that miy little a iby girl, Tumupsey, ever heard. His d -xt was Matthew, 5: 16J: "Let your t ht so shine before men that they b Lay see your good works arid glorify g ur Father wvhich is in heaven." There was a large and attentive con- g egation and in his earnest and im- 6 -essive mannIer he spoke oif the power o personal influence. No nman, tbe he h >or or rich, high or low, lives without s flunece. Many telling anid imnpres- b ye illustrations he made during his a rmon, which was edifying and corm- o rting to all who heard himt. g Time has made very little change in o m save lie is some greyer.

Keisterhasgone to ,lum bia to-day to assist Rev. M. M. Kinard in the Lenten services in his, Ebenezer Lutheran church. We fear some of these ci y churches will be bidding for our preacher ere long. I submit the following solution of the "Question of majority'' in last week's issue of the New berry Observer. First, we must bear in mind that mt jority means any number above one half of the aggregate, and not the diil'er ence in numbers between two or more contestants. Hence, in the case of mayor, 366 votes weie east; 1s4 is one half the aggregate. Mr. Blaloek re ceived 189 votes, or 5 votes huore than half, so that his majority is 5 votes. True he received 10 votes iore tto both his competitors, but only.a mliajor ity of 5. In Ward 2 I find 362 votes ca;, _'1 for the Ir. Wheeler and 1'1 for Mr. Suber. Here Mr. Wheeler gts loIV votes more than Mr. Suber, but he nly has a nwjority of 50, becauje he l.s just )50 votes more than oue-tia!f of the aggregate. In applying the same rule in Ward 4, we find that Mr. Klettuer received 4 votes more than Mr. Goggans, but only 2 majority. This is made simple by subtracting 2 votes from Mr. Klettner und adding them to Mr. Goggans, when we produce "a tie"-all other cases in like manner. The Observer man is wrong by one vote in each of his ma jorities. He could only arrive at such results by beginning to count his Ita jority from the number "necessary to L choice" instead of at the half. The word,"plurality," or term, "plu rality of votes," can never be applied where therearetwocontestants, neither :an it be applied in the result of a con :est between tbree or more men when >ne coutestant receives more votes than ill of his opponents, because in such ase he receives more than half, which s a majority. Plurality means more bau another, but less than half. In Ward 1 we find a plain illustration f a plurality vote, where Dr. Kitbler aas a plurality of 80 votes, still he wanted 6 more votes to have been eected by a majority of 1. Men all >ver our country have fallen into the very common error of considering the iflerence in the vote between two men a the majority; which is absolutely in ~orrect. "What fools these muortals be." From ~very section, not only of our o .vucouu ~ry and State, but fromi othe~rs similar y situated, conies the grating cry "bard imes," "hard times," "nothing but ard times," when these verysanielips bould be employed in giving utter mece of praises and thanksgiving to almighty God for the abundant har est with which be has blessed our tforts during the past year. Not a lingie family in this broad land is stur ering from want of anything- to eat or ,o wear, butt on the other hand have ]ot onliy plenty for home consuim ptioni, >ut to spare. and notwithbstanding all his we cry out from the highest hills mad lowest val!eys, "hard times!" Now his is wrong-it, is sinful-it is miur uring directly againist the goodness of jod, and lie is sure to reward us accord rig to our deserts. We as a people save no true conception of what hard imxes really are. T1o get a faint idea of 'bard times," let us take a glimpse of lussia just now. Look at those bound ess fields for thousands and thousands if miles, and what do you see? Noth ng but desolation upon desolation. Cot a single green plant or blade to be een in nil these vast fields. What i he matter? Examine the soil. Behold, is dry-parched, dead. Look again. The weather is cold, reary, bleak. Ice andl snow cover the esolate fields. The thousands of thou nds of huts of pleasant ry are iimbedded i the snow, but no sign of smnoke i mitted urom these countless hiuts. Vhut is the matter? Let us enter one f thecse huts. Oh, horror of horror! famr~ily of eight wrapped in seauty lan kets anid skins. Their formrs lying u the floor. Examuine. The fat her ud three sons are toget her. They are ead.
