The Vote Tabutated-The Leaders not Satis fied with the Resalt, and Order Another -Did the Wrong Men Lead, or was the Vote too Small? The caucus, we presume that is the rigbt name, or the reformers,as they call themseives, which is another name for Tillianites, was held last Saturday in Klettner's Hall. The object was to re ceive and tabulate the vote in the pre liminary primary for Senator and Rep resentatives in the Legislature. The issuing of an address, which may be found elsewhere, was- also part of the work (lone. The Tillmanites claim twenty-eight clubs in the county, but only fourteen had voted and the vote was small-very small. Every township, however, with the exception of No. 6, was represented. The meeting was secret and only those who are supposed to be in sym patly with the plan were adtmitted, and a resolution was adopted that nothing should be given out for publication ex cept the address which the secretary furnishes. That was what The Herald and News was told when members were applied to for information of the proceedings. We were told, however, that perfect harmony prevailed, and everything was getting in good work ing condition. The secretary, we pre sume, supposes that the address was long enough to supply the deficiency as to the other proceediugs and ouly sends that. He, however, sent along several blank sheets of paper which may be in tended to cover the other work done. The vote was small and not alto gether satisfactory. Possibly those who received the highest vote were not altogether satisfactory and possibly it is desired to get a fuller expression, and hence, another caucus will be held. This one we suppose will be with open doors, as it is alsc to nominate delegates to the State Convention, and that sug gested convention we understood was to be open to reporters. No nominations were made; that is to be doue in July at the next caucus. The Herald and News did not attend the caucus. We were not expected and made no application. But the people like to have the news, and we presume some of those who were present will be interested in seeing in print what was done, and it is our mission to furnish our readers with the news. And as we will be devulging no secret we w"lI give below, at least, an approx imately correct report of the proceed ings. We would like to give a synop sis of the speeches made but our space this week forbids that. D:. Sam a Pope was elected Presi dent, and . A. Mills, Secretary. The vote was tabulated with the fol lowing result. There may .have been some other' scattering vctes cast and some others may have. been voted for, bnt we do not recall their names or their vote. The total number of votes cast for the Senate was .253, and the House 282. For the Senate Rev. J. A. Sligh received 224; Geo. S. Mower, 17; S. Pope, 9; J. L. Keitt, 3. For the House, Jno. T. Duncan re ceived 144; WN. D. Hardy, 141; Cole. L. 1reas, 133; T. Connor, 94; W. E. Lake, 51, H. H. Folk, 48; Job L. Hughey, 43; P. a. Koon, 38; T.'N. Kibler, 34;Jno.W. Scott, 21; J. M. Johnstone,14; J.T.Setz ler, 4; J. C. Wilson, 3; T. M. Neel, 2. As we have said there may have been others, but we do not recall them. We suppose that Messrs. Mower, Johnstone, Wilson, Neel and Pope received their votes- by accident, as it were, as they wereLnot. before the clubs at this time and their friends did not turn out. And then,.too, the vote may not be accurate as the reader must know that The Her ald and Ne ws was not present. Those who were there can best testify as to its correctness and it will not be found bad wrong, is our judgment. Rev. J. A. Sligh introduced the ad dress which is published elsewhere and which was adopted. Speeches were made by Mr. Sligh, Dr. Pope, and Mr. Theo. N. Kibler, Mr. Job Hughey and possibly one or two others. Mr. J. WV. Bowden, editor jof the Cotton Plant, came up from Columbia and made a short address to the caucus, also. It would seem that the people are getting somewhat tired of this plan of getting men to run for office, but then the farmers may have been too bnsy to turn out and the next caucus may tell a different tale. We shall see-provided we are admitted. S. B. JONES IS THE MAN to buy your It' II CC CC EE HE 11 I CC 'CC EB BB'E 1IICCj CC EE .ER IItI CC \CC BEA.EB from. HIS PRICE IS AS LOW AS THE LOWEST.

Gov't Report Povwder ELY PURE Co.MMENCEMENT AT'NENTEERRY Col LEGE. The Baccalaureate Sermon by Dr. Wol BIg Crowds in Town-An Inter esting Programme. The commencement in Newberry full upon us. The week has been vie: and sunshiny, but not too hot. Ti churches in town were all closed on Sui day in honor of the commnencenie[ occasion. Many visitors from abroad:i here. The town is fairly alive wit eharming and beautiful young ladiE and handsome and interesting beau. The programme for-the occa.sion is a interesting one. On Sunday morning the baccalaurc ate sermon was preached i n the oper bouse by the Rev. E. J. Wo!fe, D. D. of Gettysburg, Pa., to one of the larges audiences we have ever seen assei bled there. They began coming, in or der to secure good seats, as early a 9 o'clock, although the service was ho to begin before 11 o'clock. Ever: available space was occupied and nian: could not get seats The entire lowe floor-parquet and dress virele-wa one mass of pretty bonnets, beneatl which was the sweet faces of New berry's charming women. It was : lovely scene viewed from the roporter' corner. Here and there only might bi seen a man. The sermon was scholarly, able, ani forcibly delivered. His text was, " Leaq me to the rock that is higher than T. found in Psalms 61: 2. He spoke fW fifty-seven minutes and held the mos interested attention of the vast audi ence. He spoke first of the uiLversa consciousness of a higher being, an second of the human aspiration afte God-this highest Being, and of a de sirel'or communion with it. and showei the unattainableness of this conmiu nion by human effort alone. Thes three propositions were elaborately at logically argued, and at times th speaker became truly eloquent. Ther was nothing startling or strikin-ly ne% in the sermon, but the "old, old story was told in a style that was tinishe( and ornate and at the same time stron; and forcible. In conclusion the preach er said the only way to reach th heights of this rock which is our salva tion was through the efficiency of be lieving prayer. That, even with tha we could not scale the heights, but th rock could come down to us and lift i up. And this had been accomplishei by Christ coming upon the earth an making communion with God possibl through believing prayer. On Sunday night the installation o Prof. A. G. Voigt as professor of theol ogy in the seminary took place in th opera house in the presence of a larc congregation. The address was deliv ered by the Rev. Dr. J. .Hawkins, ed itor of the, Lutheran Visitor. At address was also- delivered by Prof Voigt. JUNIOR CONTEST IN ORATORY. On Monday night the Junior Contes in Oratory took place in the Oper House. Long before the hour for th exercises to begin the audience begai to assemble, and by half-past eigh every seat in the house had been takei and standing room in the aisles was a a premium. Every member of th Junior Class is required to take part L this contest. In the present class ther are eleven young men. The first speuker was Mr. Geo. 8 Bearden, of Columbia. S. C. Subject "The first stroke, half the battle." Th speaker showed that the success o failure of one in life depended largel, on how well the battle had beel planned and how vigorously the firs strokes were delivered. One source c Napoleon's success was the skill witi which his campaigns were planned As so much depends on starting righi the young man should neglect no or portunity of fitting himself for th active de' ie of life. The excellence c the Greeks as soldiers was largely du to the.thorough training they receive< in the- athletie contests and games. The next speaker was Mr. N. Dl Bodie, of Cloud's Creek, S. C. Su4.ject "The present financial crisis.'" Afte discussing various theories to accoun for the present depressed condition o the country, the speaker reached the conclusion that t:he present finmancia crisis is due largely to the credit systen inaugrated at the close of the late war The next speaker on the programme was Mr. E.'A. Carlisle, of Newberry S. C. Subject: "Ebb and Flow." Ii order to attain the -highest degree o success possible the propitious momnen must he seized and utilized. Napoleor having failed to seize the propition moment on the field of Waterloo, saw the mighty achievements of forme battles crumble to dust on that luck less day. Mr. S. L. Cash, of Newberry, th next speaker, showed how "Fashion' is gradually losing the hold it has had on the world, and individuals and na tions are casting off its shackles. Mr. J.' L. Caughman, of Caugh man's, gave a brief resume of the his tory of "Our own State"from the~days when the savage Red man roamed ir unrestrained freedom over hill and valley to the dark and troublesome days of the reconstruction period, and showed how at all times South Caro lina and South Carolinians had beer true to themselves and lived up to the lofty standards of the heroes of the Revolution. ofhmngvr "The instabilityofhmngvr ent" was next discussed by Mr. J. H Harms, 'of Savannah. History- has been nothing more than the record o the rise, growth and decay of govern ment after government, and the signs of the times are such that it would bn well for our'tatesmen to heed the voic< of history and avoid the quickaands it which so many States have suink te rise no more. Mr. B. L. Jones, of New berry, S. C2. discussed 'lReality vs. Formality." On' of the great dangers of the present tim arises from egotism and vanity, anc the selfish strivingafter office and pow er for purely selfish ends, as illustrates in the lives of some of our leadini The next speaker was Mr. J. ID. Ki nard, of Prosperity, S. C. Subject "Success the reward of fidelity.".Ther< are two kinds of success, a positive an<o a negative. For positive success it is necessary to labor unceasingly. New ton and Copernicus are distinguishe< examples of positive success attaine< by unceasing effort and toil, often it the face of scoffers and against the ac tive opposition of their contempora The next speaker was Mr. E. WV Luther, of Prosperity, S. C.. subject ~"abor omnia vincit." Men lik Bishop Butler and Lyman Beecher dis tinguished for learning and the influ ence they exerted on their own an< future generations, owe whbatever suc cess they have attained to long years o faithful and unremitting toi!. "What next?" was a ques ion an swered by Mr. H. A. McCollough, o Prosperity, S. C. Man's mind is full' awake to an apprec'iat:en of its power and captivities. Who can predict, re viewing the past .50 years, what th next 10 years will bring forth? Of on thing we may besure, the closingyear of this century will bring great change as has been for'hadowed by the event of the paset few years. The last speech was Mr. R. M. Monts Prosperity. Subject; "Beyond." It i~ possible for man to overcome the great est obstacles which lie in his path, anc to attain to honor and distinction anc transmit his name to posterity. W should press on, determined to over come all obstacles, and I look on every onquest made as a stimulus to -still greater achievements in the future. Messrs. W. J. Cherry, WV. H. Wal laee, E. P.

Cromer was rechosen Sectretary and D. B. Wheeler Treasurer. President Hol land made his annual report, which was is adopted. We give the following summa r ry from the report: The health of the stu e dents has been good. and they have been . faithful in the performance of duty as signed and exemplary in conduct. The e attendance in the collegiate department is b the largest in the history of the college. s The enrollment has been GG-Seniors. 9; Juniors. 11; Sophomores. 12. and Fresh men. 34; Preparitorians, 11, and 5 Post graduates, making the total enrollment 92. a The interest on the Bachman endow ment fund has not been promptly paid in t many cases. and the Treasurer is author . ized 'h the Board to foreclose deferred payments and reinvest the funds. A slight s change in the course of study was recom t ended. Besides the degrees to be con ferred on the gradnating class the degree f A. M. will he conferred-. on Rev -. 1 M. r Kinard, Prof. W. K Sligh and Mr. G. E. s Folk. and the degree ofti. D. on Rev. S. XW. Owen. of Hagersto'wn, Md. It was - also recommended that a mess-hall be built on the college campns. not to exceed g in cost S700. and the recommendation was a adopted, Dr..O.:B. Mayer and Dr. W. G. Houseal were elected as lecturers on I Physiology, Anatomy and Hygiene, and I suitable resolutions were adopted in ref ' erence to the death of Dr. 0. B. Mayer, r Sr., a Professor in the college from its or L ganization, and Major G. Leaphart, for - many years a member of the Board. Mr. I Arthur Kibler, who has filled the chair in i the college for the past six months made r vacant be the resignation of Rev. A. J. . Bowe did not apply for the position, r and -Bowerv was:elected. It is - thought that. he rill: accept, as the work a in Savannah is too heavy for his physical Sstrength. ALUMNI ORATIoN. The annual Alumni Oration was de livered on Tuesday morning by W. J. Cherry, Esq., of Rock Hill, a member of the class of 1881. The audience was small as it usually is on these occasions. - Why it is we do not know, for surely ' the young men have always acquitted themselves with credit. - Mr. Cherry had a carefully prepared a speech, his subject being "Our heritage a and its attendant duties."' His apos a trophe to his Ilma mater in closing was touching and beautiful. , Immediately after the speech the as sociation held its annual meeting and elected the following officers: E.. 0. C aunts, President; W. K. Slish, Vice President; J. H. McIntosh, Secretary; e Z. F. Wright, Treasurer; annual orator a for 1893, Rev. B. B. Ramage, of Nash - ville, Tenn., with E. 0. Counts, of - Prosperity, as alternate. THE ADDRESS BEFORE THE LITERARY SOCIETIES was delivered last night by Rev. L. E. t Busby, of Leesville. He spoke of the "Educational problem in the South: a plea for universal education." He out lined the evils of the educational sys tem of the past two hundrea years in the South and the causes producing t these evils. The result of this system was the great proportion of ignorance among our people. He compared the e settlers of New England to those of the Southern tier of States; how the former adopted tne system of popular . education and the latter depended on the individual, which has resulted in r keeping a large proportion of the masses in ignorance. UHe off'ered as a remedy for this state ofaffairs the following: 1. Federal aid in the shape of the Blair educa tional bill, although he did not press that point. 2. To diversify as well as intensify our industries and vocations. 3. To cheapen the meanis of obtaining an.education. The ::bannels of extrava fgance must be filled op. 4. Inaugurate ea thorough system of apprenticeship in all occupations. 5. Additional taxa tion. bach proposition was sustained by clear-ecit argument. But, said the speaker, to inaugurate tthese measures a complete revolution of sentiment must take place and he thought the climactric period had been reached. It was a practical speech, clear cut and well delivered, but the space at our cornmand does not permit a full synopsis. Mr. Busby has a good delivery. His pronounciation and articulation are almost perfect. He speaks with dis tinctness and clearness and forcibly. I CO3DIENCEMENT.

The Commencement at rrosperity Hiah School--Othe- Matters. [Correspondence Herald and News.] PROSPERITi, June 13.-The exercises of Prosperity High School closed oii Thursday night. On Friday evening; the stockholders met-transacted their business-adjourned, call a meeting of the truztees, who in like manner trans acted their business without ajar, and unanimously elected the former tea chers, Prof. E. 0. Counts and Miss Bessie Wheeler. Quick work, that, and something hitlierto unknown iii the history of this school, and which is another incontrov'erable evidence of the entire satisfact on these teachers have given their patrons. On Wednesday night the annual addre-s was delivered by C. W. Welch, of Houston, Texas, before a large and appreciative audience. The speaker is a graduate of Newb.rrv College, and is the father of Prosperity High School. He began by naturally recurring tothe pleasant nie-vories and scenes which occurred during the progress of build ing and placing of the school on a high plane of morality and culture. The speaker, in his imipressive style, then launched forth in his subject, urging with much er:rhasis the great import ance of connecting an industrial branch of the school for the development of the student's physical nature as well as that of his mental qualifications. He argued with muci force that. for a man or woman to reach the highest pinnacle of useful ness, it was essentially necessar. that the physique be dev loped, and the hand and eye accurately and studiously trained. He laid dowi many apt propositions and truisms in support of his thecries. One only will be mentioned here. If an highly edu cated mind in a feeble body is capable of great things, how much greater things could tbat man accomplish if thatgreat mind had its abode in a healthy well trained and developed body? Prof. Welch has accepted the position to fill the chair of Physics in Clemson College, and will therefore become a citizen of South Carolina again, i. e. if the College ever opens. On Thursday night the closing exer cises,and exhibition,were of an exceed ingly high.order. Every available space in the building was occupied, and a great many gentlenen had to be satis fied with standirg room outside near the windows. The music was sweet and exhilarating. The exercises consisted of declama tions, dialogues and songs and music. The students all acquitted themselves with much credil and excited the adnii ration of the packed audience, who on their part presErved good order and gave strict attention throughout, not withstanding tLe sweltering heat. It would be an act of injustiae, were spe cial mention nct made of Miss May Dominick in her recitation of "Class History," Miss Itosa Wyse in "Madame Goodrich," Miss Gertrude Simpson as "Yankee Aunt," Miss Lula Moseley as "Queen of the Fairies" and Miss Anna Traywick in her "Propbetic Visions of the Future." While all were good, the parts acted atd performed by these young ladies were grand, yes, bordering on the sublime. The "Three Little Todies" was splendidly rendered by three very small girls. The "Ball Song." "Waiter Song" and "Building Song" by the infant class brought down the house. From the beginning to the close of the exercises, there was not a single ba:k or error made. This is something remarkable in sohool of ninety-seven scholars, and shows that great care and much pains had been bestowed on the classes by the teachers. In fact too much credit can not be given Miss Bessie Wheeler, the efficient assis; tant teacher, for her untiring zeal in the thorough preparation of the classes for the public exhibition. Her prepara tions were all marked by precision and thoroughness of a high and commenda ble standard. Trhe scholastic year has closed and everybody is 1:appy and serene. The students-beca~use they have rest .rom books and blackboards. The p)atrons because they are proud of the marked improvement Prof. E. 0. Counts and Miss Bessie Wheeler, have made on their children. The teachers-because thcy rest frort their labors. The peopie at large- congratulate themselves upon attending one of the best, if not the best-closing exercises of Prosperity High School. It would reqluire too much time and space to mention the names of the visitors here lrst week during the closing exercises of the High School. Suflice it to say that all were hospitably en tertained, and returned to their honies happy and serene. Thanks to the State Executive Com mittee for putting Newvberry's cam paign day so late as August, 18th. Put the evil day cff as long as possible. Miss Carrie DeWalt and Bessie Tray wick, have finished their courses at College and are full graduates. The former at Staunton (Virginia.) Female College and the latter at Columbia Female College. Miss Essie Wyse has returned home from Hagerstow n Female College. This was her first year there. Miss Mary Traywick, daughter of Rev. .B. Traywid.~, has been unani mously elected, by the Board of Trus ~tees of Columabia Female College, to the position of Assistant Teacher of mathe matics and English. This was a genuine surprise to Miss Traywick, she having made no application for a place, and is a deserved ciompliment to her ability and usefulness. She occupied the se fondeplace i a Prosperity High School for one-yedr, at end of' which she was re-elected for a second term, but her health at that time, was such as to force her to decline an acceptance. We regret that Miss Mary Is going from s'mong.us, but are truly glad that she is oig to occupy a position of honor, of dgity -and of usefulness. We are confient that she will in her new sphere do credit, not only to herself, but to those who have conferred the honor upon her, and to the institution to which she is going. She is a grad u ate of Columbia Female College. and -we know the loves her Alma Mater. She posses a true Christian character. She is gentle, kind, meek and lovely, all of which go to make up true great ness in woman. We will miss you Miss Mary, but you have our richest binedictions to carry with you. u-I4:.
