Fine Beef.
Three months ago 1r. E. Cabanisn
bought a yearling steer which was so
poor that it could not stand up, and he
had to be lifted about when fed. The
use of cotton seed hulls and meal as
feed was begun, and in a day or two
the yearling was able to stand up. It
was killed yesterday and made a fine
beef. The cotton seed bulls had a w^n
derful effect.

Postmaster Moorman has been circu

Congress to make an appropriation for
the purpose of erecting a building for a

hvery one favors such a scheme, and

to see such a building put up, and no
doubt if our Congressmen give the mat

get a government building. No harm
to make the effort.

We take the following from the
Greenville News of last week. Mr.
Blease says he does not know anything
about it, but then we can always go
from home to learn the news:
"A gentleman in the city yesterday
said that he had been told that Repre
sentative Cole L.. Blease, of Newberry,
will be a candidate for Congress against
Congressman Johnstone. Representa
tive Blease was one of the youngest
leaders in the last two sessions of the
Legislature and is a prominent Till
manite. It is not supposed he is in
cluded among the 'driftwood.' "

The Town OffBeors Elected by Counci.
The new council met in executive
session last Thursday night for the
purpose of filling the various positions
under their control, with the result
that Mr. Jno. S. Fair was re-elected
Secretary and Treasurer and Mr. WV. T.
Jackson Street Overseer, and that Mr.
E. Pink Bradley was elected Chief of
Police, with Messrs. Thos. H. Cromer
and T. Griff. Williams as Policemen.
Ryall Bates, a faithful employee, re
tains his place of Lamp-lighter.
The officers-elect will go on duty the
first of May-next Sunday.
The police uniform will be gray, with
black si ripes.
Mr. D. B. Wheeler, now o ying
one of the prominent chi * the table
of our young City hers, resigned
from the Boar Health, and Mr. J.
Benson Suber, his strong competitor
for aldf.rtfanic honors, succeeded him
as -sanitarian" from Ward 2. We
know he will attend to his sanitary
duties as well as he would have con
ducted municipal business as council
man.
The re-election of Messrs. Fair and
Jackson to their respective positions
is very complimentary to them, whieh
they highly appreciate as a mark of
reward for efficiency and fidelity.
The election of Mr. Bradley gives
general satisfaction, and no doubt he
will discharge his duties as Chief with
as much faithfulness to the trust as he1
has heretofore shown in a more subor
dinate position.
Of the election of Messrs. Cromer and
Williams a word or two is appropriate
here, as they are entirely newv men for
the places assigned them. These gen
tlenmen are well known, the former liv
ing at Helena and the latter in our
midst. That they will do their duty
under any and all circumstances and
in any emergency is not in the least
doubted by their friends who know
them best. We congratulate them and
think we voice the sentiment of the
majority when we say that the inter
ests of the community are safe in the
hands of the new Cbief and his lieu
tenants, hacked as they are by a unan
imous council.
The above officers were all elected
on their merits, council filling the dif
ferent places at its disposal without re
gard to any other consideration than
the fitness of the material.
There w'as no politics whatever in this
election.

THE COUNTY CONVENTION.
A Liit of Delegates and Clubs-The Men
Who will Assenble in the Court
House Next Monday.
Next Monday is the day for the
County Coriventioni to meet. Below
we give a list of the clubs and delegates
elected to this convention. Two years i
ago there were thirty-five clubs. This
year there are thirty-four, the club at
Helena not reorganizing. We have no 1
report from Heller's club in No. 11
Township, but we presune it has reor
ganized.
Two years ago the convention was
coniposed of 222 delegates. This year
only 7S have been elected. Heller's
:luI> will be entitled probably to one
delegate, making 7!j in tiie convention.
We have made no effort to classify
the convention as to Tillnian or anti
Tillnian. If any one desires to indulge
in that sort of pastime the names are
here and he can amuse himself.

THE FATORY CL'.
L Meeting to Consider the Question of J.
E. Crosby's Introducing Sheppar'l. I:e.
o! 1tions Endorr.ing the Admini-tra
tion-Pope, Chappell and t:lease
Deliver speeches.
L:.t Thursdav night a neeting of
he Factory Club was held, and tiere
,vere one -hundred members present.
lie meeting was gotten up on short
iotise, and The Herald and News
new nothing of it until it was over,
,therwise we should have attended and
-eported the speeches as tilly as we
,ould. The meeting was the result
,f the fact that Mr. J. E. (rosby pre
ided at the meet ig in the Opera
-ouse a few evenin,gs previ''us and in
roduced (overnor Sheppard, aid the
idditional fact that the conclusioi had
>en drawn that the factory cluh was
titi-Ti!li1an. To lisabuse an.v hiofv's
nild of this concltioin was the objwet
if the meeting. so The lerald aid
cews is informed.
A committee fro t he club waited
in Dr. Pope and asked liiin to adtiress
he club, and upon his cornsenting the
neeting was held. The club, it seems,
lid not like the impression to be made
hat, because Mr. Crosby presided at
he Sheppard meetin g, therefore itlhe
lub was against Tillman, or on the
tier hand, because Dr. Pope Was not
lected a delegate to the County Con
ention that, therefore he, I)r. Pope,
iad lost his popularity. In order to
et these things right the meeting was
eld, and an enthusiastic meeting it
vas. Tillman was endorsed, Dr. Pope
rasendorsed for Congress, a nd speeches
rere made. The first speech was made
y Dr. Pope, and the mewberss:,y he be
ame very enthusiastic and warmied up
o his subject. A considerable port ion
f his speech was directed to replying
o the speech of Gov. Sheppard and de
ending Gov. Tillnin. He also paid
s rAspects to the newspapers, mention
ng by name the News and Courier, the
xreenville News, the State and his
ioime r -ers.
. . _. Chappell spoke in reply and
:ave the administration some heavy
lows. He was followed by Cole. L.
3lease who also directed his remarks
o Gov. Sheppard's speech and to
browing rocks.
The following resolutions, upon
hich the speeches were miade, had
oe preambles. but they were with
rawn. They had reference to the
act that the president bad presided at
he Sheppard meeting and introduced
Ir. Sheppard. .John Henry Chappell
pposed them on the ground that they
ere in the nature of a censure of Mr.
E. Crosby, the president, and they
rere withdrawn.
The following are the resolutions as
dopted by a vote of 97 to 3.
"Resolved, 1. That we endorse the
dministration of Governor Tillman
nd pledge ourselves to support him
rst, last and all the time in the corn
ug primary, and desire our club to be
own as the banner Tillman Demo
ratic club of Newberry County.
"Resolved, 2. That the thanksof this
Iub are hereiby tendered Governor
'illian for pardoning our fellow-citi
en, Mr. I. Y. Johnson.
"Resolved, 3. That these resolutions
e handed to the Columbia Register,
iews and Courier, The State and the
wo Newberry papers for publication."
The following preamble and resolu
ions were also adopted by a rising vote,
rithout discussion or opposition:
"Whereas, at a meeting of this club
reorganize on the 9th of April, at
bich there was but one-third of the
2ebers present, Dr. S. Pope lacked
ut one vote of election as a delegate
the county convention; and, where
s, this has given a pretext to one N.
. Gonzales, editor of The State,. to
isrepresent the sentiment of this club
ver the shoulders of Dr. Pope, and as
bis has not been the first time he has
ilified and abused Dr. Pope, our wor
by neighbor and friend, through his
ndependent sheet; now, therefore, be it
"Resolved, 1st. That this club in
>rms Mr. Gonzales, and all others of
is independent stiipe, that we hold
)r. Pope in the highest estimation as a
'ian and as a citizen and feel that any
ing said of him by the editor of The
tate is unworthy the notice of all
entlemen and all true Democrats.
"2. That in or<der to show our esteem
nd confidence in Dr. Pope, he is here
y endorsed for Congress from this dis
rict.
"3. That a copy of these preambles
nd resolutions be sent to thbe Columbia
egister, News and Courier, The State,
'e People's Advocate, A bheville Me
ium, Prosperity Press and Reporter,
he Newberry Observer, and The Her
d and News, with request that they
lease publish."
The following resolutions relative to
he death of Mr. Henry H. Blease,
vho vas a member of the club, were
otroduced by Dr. Pope and adopted.
he others were introduced by Mr. J.
.Set zler:
Whereas, since the last meeting of
his club, it has pleased the WVise Dis
oser of events to remove fronm the
heatre of his usefulness, and from the
loso of his family, and from his nu
ueros4rends, Henry H. Blease, Esq.,
.nd,'whereas, it is proper and becom
ng to tender the last testinmony of re
pect for his many virtues and our ad
niration for his devotion to the princi
>des o,f Democracy, to which lie was
levotedly attached,
Resolved, That while wve humbly ac
:nowledge the hand of the Almighty
n this dispensation of his providence,
re cannot withhold an exprcssion of
sur deep regret for the melancholy be
eavement.

KILLED ACCIDENTALLY.
Mr. Lafayette Stevens Shot in the Necl
with a l'istol and Dies from
the Wouuds.
On ;last Saturday afternoon Mr. La.
favette Stevens was on a visit to Mr.
BIrawk Watkins at his home iear Chap.
pells. They were together in the sitting
roo:l, Mr. Steveus sitting in the win
dow. Mr. Watkins had in his hand a
small pistol, for what purpose we are
not informed. le "cocked" it, but it
would not stand, and the hammet
coming down the load was discharged,
Sthe ball entering the neck of Mr. Ste
vens. It ranged down toward the
stomach and severei several blood
vessels, which caused death. This was
about one o'clock in the afternoon, and
Mr. Stevens died the next morning at
three o'clock. Trial Justice Gregory
held an inquest on Sunday, and the
verdict was that the shooting was ac
cidental. Dr. A. A. Madden was the
attending physician.
Mr. Watkins is a young man, son of
the late Capt. John Watkins, and
deplores the sad event very much. Mr.
Stevens lived near Mr. Watkins, and
came to Newberry county from Edge
field county. He was about fifty years
of age, and was the man who killed
Glover at Edgefield several years ago.

S. B. JONES.
Marriage at St. Luke's Church.
Yesterday, at St. Luke's, Rev.W. H.
Hanckel officiating, Mr. Edward G.
Wilkinson and Annie Marian, younger
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Meg.
gett, were united in holy wedlock.
It was a quiet occasion, but few invi
tations being extended outside the con
gregation.
The decorations that remained from
the Easter-tide were brightened by
fresh leaves and roses which gave
pleasing effect to the happy scene. The
chancel rail was a mass of snow-balls.
and the church was resplendent in its
wealth of beautiful flowers.
Mrs. Peter Robertson presided at the
organ and anticipated the arrival of the
bridal party by strains of dulcet, dream
like melody, from which she glided
into a brilliant and inaspiring wedding
march.
The bride appeared before the altar
leaning upon the arm of the groom.
and looked sweetly-pretty. She carried
a lovely bouquet of pink and white
roses to which was attached a streamer
of wide white ribbon, and was the pic
ture of joyous serenity.

HELLO, CENTRAL !
Anything new this week ?
Yes, a great drive in the shape
of . a new top, "tThe Mystery." It
far excels all others. Simple,
durable, cheap. Made from best
steel and iron: will last forever.
Readily spins with aid of fore fin
ger and thumb. In addition to its
spinning qualities it will do what
no other top will do. This makes
it the lord of tops. It hustles
and waltzes around on both pin
and blunt point, and plays with
various articles-hair-pins, pens,
needles, etc. It is made on scien
tific principles and intended more
for home indoor pleasure. Old
folks as well as the youngsters
enjoy its antics. It will do with
a steel pen what the most expert
penman cannot do. There is more
Solid enjoyment in its work than
any top ever made. The cheap
ness of the top will give all a
chance to buy. Only ten cents.
We are agents for the company
and have a large supply on hand
at THE CENTRAL
ly DIRUG STORE.

OUR PROSPERITY LETTER.
[Corr. pondence Herald and News.
PI'(solE'lUTY. S. C., April :25.-Mr.
Jol. E hpting, who lives hear Maceo
nia, was buried yesterday. He wos an
aged citizen, being about 90 years old.
Haviiig been in feeble health foralong
time, his death was not a surprise.
Son.e cotton is still being sold her(
every day. A nice article now brings d
cents.
Yes erday being a beautiful day di
vine services in the different churches
were well attended.
The present Towu Council, on going
into oliee. found an empty treasury,
with a debt hanging over the town,
with :o means of paying it. The only
source of revenue the town has, except
ing tha rent from the little market, is o
capitat ion tax for street purposes. In
view of the debt now pending, 'and
other work necessary to be done, a
meeting of the citizens is called for to
night, to consider the advisability and
practicability of levying a tax on real
estate and personal property to meet
the wants of the town.
Prosperity is becoming notorious for
robberies. Last Wednesday night an
other page was added to the list. The
large brick store of Moseley Bros. was
entered by breaking a glass out of the
front window. Quite a quantity of flour,
bacon, hams, lard, sugar, coffee and
butter were taken together witb several
dollars in old coins, which were never
put in the safe. A bright light was
burnin; in the office all night. This
was not extinguished, but aided them
in their selections. It appears that they
did not trouble anything on the dry
goods and shoe side of the house.
Strong 4uspicion rests on several parties.
No arrests have been made yet.
On last Saturday night Messrs. Geo,
Dunca:, "Billie" Hair and "Dun"
Charles were all three thrown from the
same buggy at or near Stoney Battery,
and were all more or less injured by
being cut and bruised by the rocks.
They all required medical attention,
and are now doing "so so."
At a meeting of the citizens last
night (Monday) it was decided to au
thorize :he town council to levy a suf
ficient -:ax on town property to meet
the necessary wants of the same. This
is exactly right. Taxation for munici
pal purposes should be borne equally
by all, which can only be the case when
an equal tax is placed on all property.

NOTES FROM EXCELSIOR.
Don't think small grain crops were
ever more promising than they are at
this time. May the farmers all reap an
abundant harvest.
The farmers in this neighborhood
will finish planting six cents cotton this
week. ] t seems that the farmers have
comrnen zed another crop with the hop:
of a brig. ter future, and we hope their
desires may not be disappointed.

All that is mortal rf our friend Hen
ry H. Blease now rests beneath the sod
in Rosemont Cemetery. The hand of
sympathetic friends lowered gently the
casket containing his remains to their
final resting place, and the new-made
grave was decked with spring liowers;
and we pay this tribute to his memory.
Henry H. Blease was born at Edge
field C. H., S. C., on the 11th day of
May, 1s32, and died at his home at
Newberry, S. C., on the 15th day of
April, 1S92.
In his early life he developed the ele
ments of a strong and decisive charac
ter, and he showed marked power of
discrimination in matters involving
much investigation. In after life he
exhibited decided legal ability in de
termining the vexed questions of law
and evidence which were brought be
fore him in his judicial capacity; and
had he been trained in the law lie no
doubt would have gained reputation at
the bar.
But nature selected other walks than
those of a profession for him, and be
moved to New berry in 1849 and after
wards filled, both in time of peace and
war, many places of trust with fidelity.
After the cessation of hostilities be
tween the States he engaged in farm
ing and later became the proprietor of
a hotel. At one time he filled the
office of Trial Justice with great credit
to himself and with satisfaction to the
people and bar. It was at this period
of his life he was best known to his
friends and the public.
To a friend he avas unyielding in his
loyalty; and to his opinions, when
once maturely formed, he held with
tenacity, but always dealt fairly with
those who differed with him. He
zealously championed the rights of the
oppressed. His hospitality and love of
social intercourse were widely known,
and to the poor and homeless his doors
were open at all times. He did many
acts of charity of which his Master was
the only witness.
He was a member of the Methodist
Church and a deeply pious Christian.
Wbilst he loved his own church above
others, yet he cherished a fondness for
all good people of the other churches.
He was no sectarian.
The last years of his life were full of
affliction and suffering, yet he did not
murmur at the chastisement of his
Divine Master. He was patient, and
when the summons came for his de
parture he was ready to go, only ex
pressing a regret that he would be sep
arated from the loved ones of his fam
ily.
In his triumphant death we have
lost a vakned friend, his family a father
and husband, the State a public spirited
citizen and the Church an earnest
Christian. AMICuS.

I^ _ The Farmer's Soliloquy.
I'm sit ing at rest by the hearthstone,
to-night,
Pondering, wondering, dreaming,
As I watch the weird forms in the
scintellant glow,
Like waves of the ocean, exultant ii
might,
Like bright flashing stars on the bosom
of Iight,
In dalliance, glinting and gleaming.
Metbinks on the wavelets there rideth
a oarque,
Uneasily straining and rolling;
As e'er and anon the vision grows
dark,
And soon light again by a vanishing
spark
That's livid with !,gLt in ding, but
hark! -
The sound of a bell that is tolling!
Dark, dark grows the cloud that is low
ering there;
Rolling, surging, clinging.
Each moment 'tis lit by the iightning's
glare,
That writeth the doom of the strong
barque and fair,
That the boatswain reads as he clings
in despair
To the rope of the be:l that is ringing.
Wilder still grows the tempest, more
frequent the glare;
Roaring, groaning, sighing.
Trying each brace, each bolt and each
beam.
Trying with might to open each seam,
Tr' ing, like demons, incarnate in mien,
Seemingly heaven-defying.
Hold, pilot, hold! put hard by the
wheel!
Firmly, strongly, grasping;
The crackling ahead and white foam
reveal
The treacherons reef that is waiting to
deal
The death-blow ahead for stancheon
and keel,
Thy gallant sides clasping.
Hark! what sound of horror there be,
Anger, disputing, wrangling
That come in wild medley o'er the dark
sea,
Bringing the sounds of mutiny to me;
Discord in the face of eternity;
Hate, on the verge of strangling.
My frame, with emotion, is shaken and
torn,
Shaken, torn, bleeding;
At the tidings of strife that swiftly are
borne
Across the wild waves from the dan
gerous bourne,
Hatings that cause the whole nation to
mourn
At the deeds of those unheeding.
The tempest is stilled, 'tis cloudless and
fair;
Hushed are turmoil and rancor.
The barque rides the deep like a bird of
the air,
Cleaving the foam, as the waves seek
to share
In the glorious deeds of the sailors who
dare
Bring safely the craft to anchor.
See! standing alone by the storm-beat
en mast,
The mariner, cringing never;
With a soul that's undaunted by.tem
pest or blast,
By wild, raging waves, by nothing
downcast;
Determined the barque, in safety, at
last
Shall put into port forever.
Yes, standing alone, 'neath the red,
white and blue,
Uncon<quered, brave, unbending;
The friend of the many, the dread of
the few
"Divine right to govern and 'igh cul
tured'' cr~ew,
Who wreak on his head their slanders
of you
Time without ending.
Alone: but hard-by stand stern-visaged
men,
Quietly, sileul1y waiting;
WVho've stood by him once, who'll
stand by again,
Who'll roll up the ballots five thous
and times ten,
To vindicate selves and strengthen old
Ben,
For the con test of malice and hating.
