ELBERT H.L3L'LL, EDITOR. NEWBERRY S. C. ELBERT H. AULL,P rprietors. W. P. HOUSEAL, YEDNESD.Y, JiE S. 1S92. A VERY QUEER ItEQVFST. We would like to know by what au thority the County Executive Com mittee requests the Sheppard and Till man factions to hold conventions and put out tickets. No such authority is conferred by the State Constitution or the county constitution. It is some thing unusual for a party executive committee to call conventions of fac tions of the party. What do they hope to gain by such conventions? How will they get representation in these conventions?- Who will be authorized to call these conventions, and under what rules will th'y be governed? These are questions we would like to see answered. We can see no good to come of these conventions anyway. How will they promote harmony and unity in the party a:nd help to bring the factions back together? It seems to us that such will only help to widen the breach. Tickets would have gotten out and will get out without these con ventions. To settle these little differ ences at the ballot box without con ventions will be much better. But these are strange times and unusual things happen. But then the resolu tion is only a request, and of course is not binding and could not be on any body, yet we are free to admit that to us it is a very queer request. CLEZISON COLLEGE. For several years past, in fact since the beginning of Mr. Tillman's agita tion, we have been told time and again of an agricultural college. It was an issue in a campaign or two. Finally came the Clemson bequest which was accepted by the State and the work of completing the college begun. The Board went so far as to elect a full faculty expecting the college to open last February. Everyone is well acquainted with these facts, and also the further fact that upon the expectation that the Legislature would make the necessary appropriations, arrangements were made by the Board to open the college in February. But the Legislature e no appropriations, upon the piti ful hat campaign speakers had promised ple that tcolege should cost them g. Work on the college had to be sus nended and the college is not yet open. We hear nothing any more of Clemson nor of agricultural education by those who were its loud defenders only a short time ago. ' This much by way of introduction. Last week there was a special meet ing of the Board called, and at which it was stated that the Board had made a thorough examination into the financial condition of the college, which shows that on November 1, 1891, there were $3,708.40 on hand. Since then $43,689.11 have been received from the privilege tax, making a total of $47, 475.34. The Board had contracted debts amounting to $39,944.91, leaving a bal ance of $7,530.40, most of which has been spent in meeting current expenses, leaving the Board at present practically without funds.- The Board still owes -for the heating apparatus for dormi tories, etc.-about $10,000. The report published as -given out by Mr. Tindal goes on to give des.crip tions of the buildings, most or quite all of which, if we remember correctly, appeared in the annual report sub mitted last December to the Legisla tuae. The question naturally arises, what wa this special meeting held for? and when will the college open ? What was the use to have a special meeting-have all the Board go there at the expense of the State in extra session just to look over what every body already knew. Did Mr. Tindal give out all that was done by the Board? The way things look now it is very hard to form an estimate as to when the college will open, and if we have another Legislature tha' takes the 'same position as the last one, the time may be a good way in the future. A college cannot be built and run without money. The Herald and News gave notice of that some time ago. Mr. Blaine's letter o.f resignation was brief and to the point, and President Harrison's acceptance of the same was equally pointed. There is not nmuch love between these two leading Re publicans and the nomination of either will be a good thing for the Democracy. The Herald and News believes it will be Blaine and Alger, which will make a pretty strong combination, but Cleve land and Campbell, the two C's, will have little trouble in walking in over even this combination. Trial justices can still console them selves in patience. The Executive Committee has not decided whether they shall have the pleasure of being voted for or not. They might at least have made a request or suggestion on the sabject if they were not willing to give a decisive deliverance. The Executive Committee met with open doors. Surely the day of the caucus is numbered. The motion by Mr. Hunt to have separate boxes and ballots for each ofice to be voted for is a good one, and it should meet with favorable consid eration from the Execu.tive Commit tee. It will do away w ith ticket writers to a great extent and each man will be able to vote -more in accordance with his own notions. The Cleveland column is gr wing every day. We have not kept - Lrict account, but it appears that Cleveland has the necessary two-thirds to the National Convention. He has more than two-thirds of the Democrats of the country in his column, and personally he seems utterly inditferent about the matter. It is the ofilee hunting the DANGEROUS DECEPTIONS. The resolution adopted by the ma ;ority of the County Democratic Exec utive Committee on Monday, calling for separate conventions of Tillmanites and Anti-Tillmanites to nominate dele gates to the State Convention in Sep tember, is an insidious effort to legalize, under the sanction of official authority, and under the authority of the whole Democracy of the county, a system already inaugurated bythe Tillmanite leaders, which if careied out will be fatal to Democratic uni.y, and which is in itself irreconcilably opposed to the principles of the Democratic party. It means, in the first place, that the Democratic Party of Newberry County is not only not a unit, but is merely a temporary connection between two separate and distinct parties; that a elub is not a single organization, but that it may embrace two very distinct organizations ; that each faction of Democrats in the county may and ought to hold separate conventions, each of which conventions may bind every one who takes part in it either by sitting as a delegate or by assisting in sending a delegate to it; that one set of Democrats may hold meetings from which all other Democrats must be excluded. If these principles are to bold it will be foolish to talk of the Democracy of the county as one organ ization: they really declare that there are two separate parties going under the same name, and there is now only a sort of league between them which either one may dissolve at its pleas ure. But the object of the resolution is, if possible, more objectionable than its underlying principles. It has been found by certain bosses that the small caucusses, held at Wicker's Hall and elsewhere, to prepare tickets for the average Tillmanite to vote, are not ex actly palatable to the plain men who are not invited to the caucus, and that those plain men out in the country are beginning to kick. So this new scheme is hatched up, which has the appear ance of a grand caucus, open to all the faithful, while in reality it is iut the same old arrangement to have the mass of Tillman's followers to swallow,adopt, endorse and stand by a ticket prepared in advance by the leaders. Does any man doubt that those leaders will fail to carry into the so-called Tillmanite convention a slate already arranged amongst themselves? Does any man suspect that any name not on the slate can be offered in the convention with any hope of success? If he does, let him watch those leaders, and he will soon have abundant evidences of secret meetings among those who have con. stituted themselves the guardians of the farmers. It is the duty of every Democrat who desires the freedom of choice guaranteed by primary elec tions, to guard with the utmost care against these dangerous deceptions. We understand that Chairman Irby has decided that Democrats can vote in the primaries without being members of a Democratic club. Six Pardons on Saturday is the Gov ernors record. Considering the gress amount of abuse heaped on former ad ministration for the free use of the pardoning power, this record is in per fet accord with the other acts of the Executive.-Ex. This is a pretty good record for one day, especially for a man who criticises his predecessors. A member of the Executive Com mittee said to us on Monday, speaking of the request-conventions, that they --meaning, we presume, the "domi nant element"-were opposed to cau cuses of any. shape or character, and they had requested these conventions so that everything could be done oper ly and above board, and thus avoid a caucus to put out candidates for dele gates. We presume the gentleman was, of course, speaking ironically. This same faction has been holding club caucuses for the past month whereEr a few members could be gotten to gether, and on next Saturday a big and grand caucus is to be held at Newberry to receive the result and put out candi dates for the Senate and House. Of course, though, they are opposed to caucuses or anything that savors of such. The sage of Enoree hss another conm munication on the outer page of The Herald and News this weEE. He says the Alliance is responsible for Tiilman's election and calls upon his fellow-mems bers in the .Alliance to rise up as one man and right the wrong they have committed. Solicitor Schumpert last week went up to Laurens and made a thorough investigation of the lynching of the negro, Dave Shaw. He went to the scene of the lynching, examined .a number of witnesses and took a lot of affidavts,and the conclusion hereached was that Shaw had been foully mur dered, but there seems to be no clue to the perpetrators of the deed nor has the body of Shaw been found. Solicitor Schumpert submitted a detailed report of his investigations to Gov. Tillman. The Governor has offered a reward of $300 each for the apprehension and ccon viction of the lynchers, the total not tc exceed $2,000. NATIONAL ICEPUBLICAN CONvyES -rIeN. The Republican Natio~nal Conven tion met at Minneapolis yesterday at 12.4 p. in., and was opened with prayer by D. E. Young. J. Stoat Fassett, of New York, was elected temporary chairman by accla mation, the Harrison men not opposing him. Great cheers and applause greeted him. The first excitement was occa sioned by the arrival of Gov. McKinley at 12.43~ p. mn. The mention of ::h names of the leaders, Harrison and Blane, occasioned great enthusiasm,:he delegates rising to their feet. At 1.54 the convention adjourned tc 11 a. m. to-day. The committee an rules met and de. cided to recommend to the conventiot the adoption of the rules of 1888, with a few unimportant changes made necess.ry by the admission of uen States. The above facts are obtained from the Western Tnion Bnulaetin sent yester TRIP TO NORTH CARIOLINA AM! BACK. Commeucencat at Mt. Plennat-G-u. K Cromer's Address- Incidenta of the Trip. I do not often bore the readers of Tb Herald and News with a-conilts o travel, but on this occasiou I want t< say a word or two of a trip to the Con mencement exercises of the Nortl Carolina College, Mt. Pleasant, N. C And as it will bring in some personi who are well and favorably known t< the people of Newberry, I hope it wil not be entirely uninteresting. Mt. Pleasant is a charming lit th country town, located nine miles eas1 of Concord, noted principally as the location of North Carolina College an Mt. Pleasant Female Seminary. The commencement exercises begat on Sunday, May 29. The baccalaureat( sermon was preached by I)r. Bowman who is favorably and well-known it Newberry. Geo. B. Cromer, Esq., of our town delivered the Literary address on Tues day morning, and a tine address it was He seemed at his best, and his .peecl made a very favorable impression. Hi subject was "The Individual and Hi relations to other people." One old gentleman insisted on my telling him why South Carolina didn' make Cromer governer instead of "Old Tillman," as he expressed it. of coursE I could not answer the question fur ther than to say that I would be glad t< have it as he wished. The Concord Standard, speaking o Mr. Cromer's speech, says: It "wa. graceful, able and entertaining Mr. Cromer is a magnetic ora tor. and the spice of it was tb wit that clinched the truth every time No other speaker has ever held mon closely the attention of the large audi ence that sat there for thirty-five min utes." The Times says: "The addres: was scholarly and classical in an emi, nent degree." I found some eight or ten Soutl Carolina boys attending this college. The President is the Rev. J. ) Shirey, for several years the pastor o the Beth Eden (Luther:.n) pastorat4 in Newberry County. The college seemm to be prospering under his management and certainly the commencement wai very creditable. * #* We, I mean Mr. Cromer and myself spent a short time at Concord. This is a little town of about 4,000 people, bul in fact does not seem to be as large a: Newberry. T e er to this here tc sa" Concord has a daily paper, E system of water works, an electri< light plant, and the people are de lighted with these improvements. Thi town has 115 20-candle-power incandes cent street lights for which it pays an nually about $1,500. Newberry shoul< get a move on her. * * The only thing of note on the returi trip was after we reached Columbia and I only mention it to say that I be lieve now that I am heartily in favo of separate ears for the races and hop that Goev. Tillman had this necessit; impressed upon him sufficiently by hi own experience to cause him to recom mend separate cars in his next annua message. The dudes and dudines of Allen Un versity were on their way home an took complete possession of the fire class car. Goev. Tillman and Secretar; of State Tindal boarded the train a Columbia, but rather late. The Gom ernor came in the first class car an two strapping colored youths, who eac had a seat to himself, refused to doubl up and give him one of the seats. The quietly reminded the Governor tha those seats were reserved for thei friends and the Governor had to tak passage in the second class car. * * * The trip to North Carolina was a ver pleasant one, and I amn glad I went. was the guest of Dr. P.

We, the undersigned citizens of S Luke's community, on the 9th day< April, the appointed day for the orgai ization of the. Democratic clubs of tb State, did present ourselves to the S Luke's Democratic club for the purpo' o signing the roll of said club. WX withdrew from the club two years as because we were unwiiling then as no' to be bound by a preliminary primnar election. We did not sign the roll o the 9th of April because the questio was asked of the president, "Would tb members of St. Luke's Democratic clui be bound by a preliminary primar election?" if such should be held and the same time stated that a number < us were willing to be bound by the cor stitution .of the Democratic party both county and State: that we woul t.o the man support the nomineesof ti Democatic party: th it we thought unwise to control our elections by pr. liinary primaries. The President ruled that the abov was all that could be asked of us, aui answerd our question satisfactoril; All would have been well had the se< retary remained silent. But at th juncture the secretary objected to tU ruling of the president, and said thi he understood the constitution to mes that a member should be bound 1 whatever the majority of the clu The president was asked to put ti question to the house to see if his ru ing would be sustained. Here the o1 jection came in this shape. Notwitl standing the president and secretar that were elected two years ago, bot being present and in their places, ti club is not organized and there can I no question put to the house. Findir that we could not get an answer to om question we quietly withdrew from tl house and addressed the following letti to the Hon. John L. M. Irby: P ROSPERrrY, S. C., M ay r, 1S92. Hon. John L. M. Irby, Chairman Democrat Executive Committee. Dear Sir: I write toask you whether a tow: hip club has the right to suggest the nom es and adopt a resolution that will bindi members to v(5te for those nominees at ti primary election? If one Is a n ember of remocratc club in good standing has t.he clm the right to bind or control his vote at tl primary election? So long as one takes ti ledge and follows therules ofrte prty. ry election? Your prompt attention will very wuuch oblige. Yours truly, .. T. C. HUNTER. Prosperity, S. C. Hon. John L. M. Irby's reply: U'NITED STA1ES SENATi. \VASHINOTON, D. C., May 11, lbV2. MIr. R. T. C. 1 unter, Prosperity, S. C. Dear Sir: Replying to your letter of the 7th instant, 1 would say that a club has a right to sugge st nominees, but none to bind the voter in the primaries. Your second question is materially the same as the first-the club has not the right to oind the voter. The answer to your third question is of course fromn the above, that the voter can voteashe pleases in t he priinaries within the ordinary party rules. Yours truly, JuH14 .f . 1RB", State Chairman. After receiving the answer to our questions from the Hon. J. L. M. Irby, we were willing to sign the roll. The club being called to meet the 28t h day of May, at 3 p. in., we decided to apply then for iembership. The club met. The house was called to order by the president. The secretary being ab sent the president appointed a secreta ry p:o tem. The president said he did not know the object of the meeting and called on some one to state it. A mem ber of the club said the object of the meeting was to bold a preliminary pri mary election, to nominate one man for the Senate and three men for the Leg islature, and to elect two delegates to meet at Newberry C. H., 11th of June, to tabulate the vote and to declare the nominees. A gentilenman present wh'lressed the president and said there are a numuer of gentlemen present who wish to sign the roll of this club. The president said there was no roli present. He was asked if a rol' could not be made if he was given the paper. Tiie president agreed. A roll was made and a num ber began signing it. This did not suit a conspicuous member of the club, so this member informed the president that the secretary was not present and he did not think the club ought to do business without him and moved to adjourn. The gentleman was asked to withdraw his motion until the gentle men finished signing the roll. This he refused to do, but pressing his motion, the house was adjourned. So we were left in this tangled affair. Now we, the undersigned, who received such treat ment from the members of St. Luke's Democratic club, who voted for the motion of adjournment, think you have treated us very unkind in two ways: First-By not answering our ques tionP the 9th of April. Surely you ad vocates of preliminary primary elec tions claimed then as you do now; namely, that you bind none but those who are willing to be bound. Second-By adjourning the club to keep us from signing the roll, what was your object? We cannot see your object for calling a meeting; for st ating the ob ject of the meeting; for giving us permis sion to sign your club roll, and then adjourn before we could do it, on the excuse of the secretary's absence. This forces us to thus publicly condemn your actions towards us, as unjust, unmanly, and undemocratic in the extreme. R. T. C. Hunter. P. S. Nichols, C. D. Hunter. M. L. Hawkins, John W. Boozer, T.

After two repeated and urgent calls he accepted his present position at Gettysburg in 1874. Dr olf's pulpit ability has been very generally recognized, and he has often been invited to serve con gregationis with salary much in excess of his present compensation, but he hat felt it his duty to remain at his post.
