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

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.

Statements of Facts.
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.

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.

Rev. E. J. Wolf, D. D.
Dr. Wolf, who will preach the Bac
calaureate sermon to the '-enior class
of Newberry College, on June 12th, is
one of the most distinguished Theolo
gians in the Lutheran Church. For
eighteen years he has occupied the
chair of Church History and New
Testament Exegesis, in the Theologi
fcal Seminary, at Gettysburg, Pa. He
swas educated in the College and Semi
-nary at Gettysburg, and at the Germnan
Universities at Tubingen and Erlan

confidence of such men as Beck, Oehler,
Palmer, Louis Harms, Thomasins and
SDelitzsch.
tReturning from Europe, he was
called to the pastorate of the Turbot
ville charge, in Northumberland coun
tty Pa., where he remained three years
In the summer of 1868, he accepted a
call to the Lombard Street Lutheran
church, Baltimore, Md., where he
labored with eminent success for six
years. 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.
VAt one time the presidency of Roa
noke College was tendered him. The
degree of D. D., wa conferred upori
him by Franklin and Marshall Collegt
in 1876.
Dr. Wolf is one of the most popular
and instructive writers in the Luth
eran Church. He has contributed
many valuable articles to the variou!
Church periodicals, the Independent
Christian at WVork, Homiletic Review
The Treasury. Sunday-school Times
and was for ten years one of the editors
of the Lutheran Quarterly. He has
been engaged to write for differen1
Encyclopedias. His latest and mos1
prominent awork is "Luthert.ns it
America," abook of great ability, fair:
ness and popularity, ten thousanc
copies of it being sold in less than ter
months after its publication.
Born in 1840. Dr. Wolf is now in
the 52nd year of ils age, and he seemi
not yet to have reached the zenith o
his successful career. F.

The Washington aaent of the As o

had been miale public, and asked hini
if he would :ot supplement it with at

Mr. Blaine smilingiy but deliberately
responded:
"The correspondenee explains itself

The president was next c:lled upor
and asked if he was willing to say any
thing in regard to it.
His response, though made with en
tire courtesy of tone and manner, was
equally emphatic. "No; nothing what
ever."
Both he and M r. Blaine were seem
ingly in excellent spirits, and each o
them, after declining to say anythin
for publication about the great event o
the day, especially in its results upor
the situation at Minneapolis, turner
the conversation to other subjects witl
a marked degree of composure.
Mr. Blaine's appearance and nanne
and tone of voice, however, were espe
cially noticeable as indicative of a feel

which made him over bouyantly cheer

all well nigh up with their work an<
seem to be in good spirits, however
some complaint as to the insects injur
ing the corn crop, which is very comn
mon each year. The farmers continu
to plant corn, and the cotton acreage
much less than it was last year.

piece of track near the academry build

with his oecupation and knows jus
how to build a substantial road, and o;
course the railroad officials are not ig
norant of that fact.
Should Mr. Tilhnian intend trying t<
force a $3 poll tax upon the people
they had better ta e the advice of Mr

IMessrs. John Richmran and S. J. Ki

on their way to Rev. J. A. Sligh, lar
Monday, met with what muight hay
been a serious accident at the C., N.<
L. R. R. crossing just below M r. J. (
Singley's residence. Just as they wer
nearing the crossing the train rushe
around the curve on them causing the:
mule to become frightened arid bot
men were thrown from the buggy an
painfully injured. The mule ran soma
distance before leaving the buggy, how
ever, neither of the two were much ir
jured. With the assistance of Messrs
Singlev and Miller the two men cor
tinned~ their journey to Mr. Sligh's
where they received medical attentio
- from Dr. D. H. Werts. We learn tb
accident is due the engineer for un
glecting to whistle for the railroa
