Mr. Jos. L. Kei:tt, in ans rer to a
question yesterday, said that he did
advocate the election of Gen. Weaver
as president. He believed in the prin
ciples of the People's party, and as Mr.
Weaver- was the candidate who stood
for those principles he should yote for
him as against Mr. Cleveland. But as
to State matters, he would vote for the
men nominated in the primaries. He
believes the principles of the People's
party to be for the b^st interests of the
people, and shall vote for the men who
favor these principles.
That is right. That is honest. He
will not say that -he is for Cleveland
while fighting tie platform on which
Cleveland stands. He is consistent.
While we do not agree with Mr. Keitt,
yet we admire his honesty in the mat
ter. He is not straddling.
Work for the Legislature.
To the Editor of The Herald and
News: The most important business to
be trar-acted at every se-sion of the
Legislature is, of course, the regular
routine busines'. such as the making of
the nec-:sary appropriations and levy
ing taxes to pay the same.
The cause of d lucation must not be
negl- :ted.. The College,.the Citadel
Acade:y, Clemson College, the com
mon schools, and all other Stite Insti
tutiors of what:ver *character must
re.-ive their due share of the public
funds or they cannot live and breathe.
But there are always other matters,
(outside of these which are absolutely
essential to the life of the State,) which
ought also to be att:nded to. Chief
among these other matters which ouglit
not to be passed over without notice,
is the repeal of artain laws wh'ch have
been on the Statute book for some years
and to which no attention is ever, or
has ever be n or is very seldom paid.
If laws were self-operating, or could
be made so, then, indeed, men would
be very careful how they offended the
majesty of the law, but as this cannot
b:, it is certainly demoralizing to have
laws, no matter how good they are, to
which no attention is paid. There is a
law in force, and has been for more than
t hirty years, against betting on elec
tions. That law, however, hai one
ver y vicious feature, which should
never be made a part of a ny law, and
that is that one half the fine on convie.
tion of the off-nder is to go to the in
former.
Better to have a State informer, as
there is a State prosecuter, whose duty
it would be to watch 'or offenders and
bring them to trial. The law against
betting cn elections should be repealed
at the next ses-ion of the Legislature.
That would be decidedly more honor
able than t) have a law which is in fact
already repealed and set aside by com
mon consent. Let men bet-bet their
!?st dollar if they want to, and then kill
themselves if they lose it, as a poor fel
low did a short time ago. What is the
use to have laws which are laws only in
name?
There is another law which ought to
be repealed as soon as possible. That
is the law against carrying conesaled
deadly weapons. *Every free man hPs
a natural and absolute right to go armed
if he wants to, in private and in public.
This- law does not touch that right, nor
is it intended to interfe-e with it. It is
not against carrying deadly weapons,
but againt carrying <1eadly weapons
concea'td. As no attention is paid to
the law, es no regard wha' ver,or very
little had to it, let it be repealed. it
would be more decent and honorable,
and show a he.althier state of 'ublic
opinion to have no such law. Li.et it
be undentoed that all men are armed
whenever they want to be. Whether
so understoon or not, many of them
are.
The Act of 18'3 adopting and regu
lating the primary plections should also
be re- maled. That Act should never
have seen passed, as the..primary is a
mere piece of party machinery with
which the LegsIature his no business
to middle. It would be just as well to
pass laws tellinst the party in what man
ner they shoulca hold their conventions
and caucuses. Have not the caucuses
rendered the pr'.maries almost unneces
sry anyhow?
Another thing, the Legislature should
by all means do at the next session.
and that is reduca the pay of the mem
bers from five t athree dollars per day,
In former times, when money was
fully is nlentifui es it is now three dol
lars per dlay was considered amply suf
ficient to pay the expenses of a member
during the session, and no member
wanhd more. It was then a'1 office of
honor and no man wanted it for the
money that was in it. It would not be
lawful nor proper for members to in
creae their pay, but it is altogether
lawful and proper for them to reduce
It is early, perhaps, to make sugges
tions to the Legislature, but members
elect cannot begin too soon to think
about their work. X.

LITTLE MOUNTAIN, Sept. 19.-The
cyclone path presents a somewhat bet
ter appearance. Vegetation has revived
a lit tle. The scattered corn has been
gathered and the fences rebuilt to an
extent. The debris around the ruined
homes has been cleared and many of the
houses replaced. All hands have been
busy and the unfortunate homes may
soon be in shap. again. Neighbors
and friends have been very generous
and sympathetic. The demoralization
has entirely vanished and the people
are themselves once again.
A New Era for Ireland.
LONON, Sept. 17.-Ireland is at

Chief Secretary Morley has kept the
promise made by the Liberal party to
the Irish people, so far as this import
ant step is concerned, and Ireland is,
under a gQvernment of law. This at
orce makes impossible such outrageous
prosecutions es drove O'Brien and
Dolan to America and made free speech
a farce throughout Ir -land. Advices
from all parts of the island- show that
the p,ple have received the poi cy with'
the great:st ratisfaction.

South Carolina's platform was adopt
ed before the Chicago Convention met.
According to Editor Williams' reason
ing. the Democrats of a State should
never formulate their demands prior to
the national assemblage, and then
adopt the stereotyped principles there
7 enunciated. But if this was the policy
how could the various States instruct
their delegates as .to the demands that
they desired to have engrafted into the
national platform? They would simply
be represented by a lot of automatons,
without any clearly defined principles.
The demands of the different States
are a guide for shaping a national plat
form, and from the multitude of coun
sel a happy medium is struck.-Pzgis
ter.
The different States also have differ
ent.preferences for candidates,but when
the convention nominate , all who took
part-are bound by the choice. And
when the convn-ution- adopts the plat
form, the States, taking part through
their delegates, are bound by the plat
form so adopted.
A State Democratic convention can
no more alopt a State platform that
lies in the face of the National Demo-1
eratic platform, and still claim to be
)emocratic, than a State could adopt a
constitution that flies in the face of the
Constitution of the United States.
And all of thnse who took part in the
National Democratic convention are as
strongly bound to support the platform
as they are the nominees. There is no
other way to view it that we have been
able to see.
The State Convention which meets
to.day cannot adopt a platform contra
dictory to the National Democratic
platform end make it binding on Dern
oerats. We hope it will not be at
tempted.
South Carolina now leads all the
Southern States in the manufacture of.
cotton. - The Manufacturer's Record of
arecent date had the following amongst
other things in an article on Southern
cotton mills:
"While there has been an increase,
greater or less, in the number of bales
consumed by every State on the list,
two-thirds of the entire gain has been
in North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia, the excess in these Stat,
amounting to slightly over 60,003 bales,
North Carolina having gained ?4,53,
South Carolina 21,000 and Georgia 14,
DOO. The increase in South Carolina
puts that State far in the lead, G, rgia
-following with about 18,000 less, and
North Carolina with .about 21,000
less."
As eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty, would it not- be well for the
management at the general election to
compare their poll lists after the elec
tion with the poll lists of the recent
primary to find out how many voters
who hava sworn they wouldn't vote
for Tillman have lost or left at home
their registration certifiestes? There
will be a Republican ticket in the field,
-and it would be well to know how
many traitors we have in the Demo
cratic party. See how many vote for
Cleveland and yet refuse to vote for
Tillman-Pee Dee Index.
Yes, and while you are doing this
would it not be a good idea to notice
how many vote for Tillman and yet re
fase to vote for Cleveland.
W. A.' Neal, of Anderson, Capt. J. E..
.Jarnigan of the Penitentiary Guards,
and D. H. Thompkins, private secre
tary to Governor Tillman; are all in]
the race already as successors to W. J.
Talbert, Superintendent of the Peni
tentiary. And then B. F. Perry, of
Greenville, also wants the place, it is
said. No doubt there will be several
more before the meeting of the Legis
ture.
The election last Tuesday was quiet
throughout the State. In Newberry
County the vote was rather light
about 3CC3 votz less than the total in
the first primary. The rain and the
- storm, no doubt, kept a good many
freerthe polls. Everyone accepts the
result without complaint, and we will
all be "happy and serene yet."
Your "Uncle"' George Tillmnan got
beaten pretty badly by Col. Jasp. Tal
bert. He was not a good "Tillmanite."
That was the ensign that led to vic
tory. ________
"X," in this issue of The Herald and
News, gives some suggestions to the
next Legislature. In some of them
we think he is eminently correct. They
are at least worthy of consideration
and while he withholds his name it
will not be improper to state that he
has been .and is a supporter of Gov.
Tillman.
Col. P. H. Wilson has been renomi
-nated for Solicitor of the Fifth Circuit.
We congratulate him on his victory.
He is a good lawyer and has made an
efficient officer, and is withal a pleasant
gentleman.

Clemson'% Trustees Will Not Use the M'

the Work.
[The State, 19th.]
The board of trustees of Clenis
College have met and considered ii
fate of that institution, and the resu
is that nothing is to be done uiitil wii
ter about the reopening of the work.
The board met at Pendleton c
Thursday night in pursuance of ti
call issued by the chairman at the sul

Messrs. Tindal, Simpson, Bradle:
Johnstone, Hartin, Wannaniake
Bowen and Norris.
This meeting was to consider the ai
visability of using a portion of the $33
000 of the Morrell fund recently o
tained from the National Governmen
the money to be refunded when t
other funds that Clemson gets com
in, or to be refunded by an act of tl
Legislature. -
Although the act giving the collei
the fund provides that tir must only I
spent for equipment purposes and n
for buildings, unless a sure refundnei
was provided -for, Governor Tillma
urged its application, saying he fe
sure there would be no trouble nth,i
the refunding. He did so in order th
the work now practically at a stan'
still might continue.
Secretary of State Tindal has just r
turned from the meeting and he sa:
"the work on the buildings will be ca
ried on as usual with the assistance
the convict labor at Clemson.
"The board did not think that it hi
any legal right to misappropriate tI
money unless there was an absolu
certainty that it could refund it wht
the college opened its doors. The tru
tees have every cent of money on whih
they had any claim. It must be r
membered that the funds derived fro
the Hatch bill ate used exclusively :
the experimental work. The station
doing fine work, and now has an e
cellent crop. Considerable canned goo
have been put aside for use when t
college opens.
"It was decided that a meeting
held during November, when the tr
condition of affairs will be derived at
a report of the progress of the work al
needs of the, college be made to tl
