The Register seems to be greatly ex- c
ercised about the great cause of reform e
and especially! does it seem to b e
--alarmed at a prospect of a break in a
the -reorm ranks. Nearly every other p
dyappears a leading editorial in this
reform journal beseeching the reform
ers not to break ranks, but to stick to- p
gether, for there is yet great things ton
f- be accomplished.
There is little doubt that there is a
great need of reforming the reformers. n
The Greenville News gives a little il
lustration in the following bit of re
freshing reminiscence:n
Three years ago under the "extrava
gant, corrupt and ibecile rule of the,
old ring of oppressors" the phosphate it
royalty was paying 3225,000 a year into
the State treasury, there were about 200
students in the South Carolina college
and the State tax levy was, we behieve, '
five mills on an assessment of $150,00)0,- u
000, with $75,000 a year being spent for'
finishing the State house. -at
oday~~ the phosphate royalty has
dwnldto $125,000, the South Caro
lina college has 75 students and the la
tax levy is 51 mills on an assessment of ti
---18000,000. Of this $50,000 goes to
'lmsncollege which - the present
"businesslike and progressive" Andrew
- ackson- administration was to build fe
without cost to the tax payers.
The Register is also calling upon the b
opponents of our "reforniers," so
-called,- to cease opposition and come
along and join the procession. That is
all very good and The Herald and
News would be glad to see once more
a united Democracy in South Carolina.
BuEtt the terms offered by the Register at
aevery objectionable. They are a d
copeesurrender on the part of in
who have opposed Governor X'
in the primaries. The.oppon- ti
ents are told to come in assuppliants
begging mercy. In- order to have a e
united Democracy there must be con- is
ciessions on both sides, we grant you,
but the present dominant element
will -have to cease such bitter ant-ago- 'N
nism to the minority before there is nm
union. The Herald and News has to
nothing to regret in its -course. We a
have always stood for those things we B
thought to be right and just and for at
the best interests of all the people. That cl
shall be our position in the future. To
secura a umted Democracy the now
majority must not treat the now mi
nority as arch enemies of.the State and
-'her best-iuterests,for they are not. L

TE NEW YEAR. ce
Another year has drawn to a close. w
he record is completed and the scroll h2
rolled up.. Its hopes, its aspirations, tb
3 thoughts and its deeds are now
imbered among the things that
ere.
In many respects it has been a mem- as
able year. In some respects it was a co
ird year financially. Money was
arce, crops had been short and prices nc
w and the most rigid economy had ve
be practiced in order to make both TI
ids meet.
In this section, however, during the to
at year, the bread crop was good, th
id fortunat. n9L - our farm
5ji~planted abundantly, and, as a re
mit, now have fuil granaries. The eot- ,
on crop was fair but at the opening of <
he season the price was very low.
But our information is that the farm
rs have been able to pay, and have paid
p, their indebtedness better than they
ave been able to do in several years.
As a result,with full-granaries and
ank notes and liens paid, the outlook
,or the future is brightening. If cred
tors do not push to the wall those
rho have not been able to fully pay
>ut, all will be well and happy.
We now enter upon the duties and s
esponsibilities of the new year.- If our
armers will continue the plan of rais- t
ng their own hog and hominy, with
he blessings of Providence, there will
>e plenty and happiness in the land
igain:
The Herald and News has had a hard t
truggle; but with the kind words of
mcouragemenrt and cheer that come to
is from our subscribers,accompani
)y the "wherewithal," we take new t
ourage and look hopefully to the fa
ure. Our constant aim and effort t
ball be to furnish them a newspaper e
vorthy of their patronage and com- i
nendatioi.
Let every man do his duty faithfully
and conscientiously, in whatever sta
ion be may be placed, to himself, his j
ountry and his God, and all will be d
veil, but let us all remember that, t
'For king, for peasant, valiant knight
or knave,
ior all, here stands the cradle-there i
the grave."
To realize t.he ideal of human exist- C
nce, our hopes and aspirations must Q
iotbe fixed and centered entirely upon t
iqman affairs and material things, but t:
hey must stretch out and beyond the C
rave to a world that is better and fair
r than this, otherwise human life is a
ilure-a dead failure.,
The Herald and News wishes all its il
eaders a Happy and a Prosperous r
few Year, and a realization of that S
a
ings which are lasting and eternal-t
bat hop.e which is planted upon the r
tock of Ages itself.

[The Register, 30th.]
Governor Tillman returned f ,m
aurens yesterday after a very pie. -nt d
sit to Senator Irby. He has i --n tl
eadily at work ever since the -.. ti
ign and this little rest was much .a- s9
yed by him.
A Register reporter called on his Ex- tl
llency last night and asked what he n
ally said to the railroad men. This f<
as done in view of the hubbub that d
is been made about the interview of Q
e committee. Il
The Governor remarked that he did li
e the word damn in conversation b
ith the committee, but denied that ; I
had used it in the manner that was p
cribed to him. He used the wordin t,
nnection with some remarks about
e sharks from the North who had tl
urchased the roads of this State, and t(
it content with running them as in- ti

He denied in toto the assertion that

MEN PITTED AGAINST THE GOVER
NOR'S ASSEETION.
LThe State, 1st.]
A few days ago when the editor of
he organ came out and charged the
ailroad employees' committeemen
ith lying about their interview with
lovernor Tillman, it was stated that
hey were indignant about the matter.
When the same writer gave as authori
y for his statements Governor Tillman,
Lnd when that official yesterday as
erted that he did not use the language
mputed to him, they were madder
han ever.
The committee would have taken
teps to refute the charges madr
gainst them, but it was impossible to
:et all the members of the committee
iere until yesterday. Even then one
if the members, Mr. Rabb, had to
eave the city before they could get
ogether. Mr. Rabb, however, has
mphatically declared himself. Here

THE CLUBS MUST PAT UP.
bey Cannot Dispense Liquor Withoott
License-The Yew Law.
[The Register, 1st.]
The Columbia Club will have to quit. A
ispensing- liquor or take out a license ;
bis is rendered necessary by the ac- Ti
ion of the Legislature at its recent
.Ssion.
Immediately upon the decision of
be Supreme Court that a license could T
ot be imposed upon a club chartered TI
>r literary and social purposes that
ispensed liquors, there were a number
f applications for such charters, and -
i short order there were a number of CC
terary clubs in operation in the
tate, whose sole purpose was dispens
ig of liquors without a license or dis
ensing it outside of incorporated DI
)wns and cities.
This was manifestly wrong, yet
iere was no way of remedying mat- T
rs under the existing laws, and so
ie Legislature made a law to.fit the
se. A
The provisions of this new law are as A
llows :
That from and after the passage of To
its Act it shall be unlawil for any
tn , a n or corpora
tion, and for any eb company
now in existence or he t in- ,
corporated for social, literary o
purposes to buy, sell, keep for sale, ex
change, barter or dispense without a
license any liquor, wine, beer, bitters
or other intoxicating spirits for any
purposes whatever, either to members
or to other persons.
Section 2. That any member or mem
bers knowingly belonging to any club,
company, -association or corporation
which rec es and dispenses intox
icating spirits contrary to the provi
sions of the foregoing section, shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and
on conviction thereof before a Trial
Justice shall be fined in a sum not less
than $30 nor more than $40 or im- I
prisonmentin the county jail fora term
not to exceed thirty days for each and
every offense.
Section 5. That all Acts and parts of
Acts inconsistent with this Act be, and
are hereby, repealed.
This Act Is to go into effect immedi
ately upon its passage. It was ratified
on the 23d inst., and was approved on
the following day, so that if any club
in the State has not taken out a
license its members are amendable to
the punishments provided by the
Act.
There is one peculair point about I
the law that may cause considerable
trouble, and that is that it is so worded
that, though it was aimed at the clubs
of the State which dispensed liquor, it
is equally applicable to any church
which has fermented wine-for the
ommunion table. Such is the opinion
f several who have carefully read its
provisions. Of course it is not-proba- F
ble that churches will be compelled to
Lake out licenses, yet, under this law, ;
it is possible to compel them to do so.
Cholera in the kansas Prison.
LiTTLE RoCK, Ark., Jan. 2.-Dr. J. _
f. Robertson, penitentiary physician,
returned to-day from St. Louis, bring
ing the report of Dr. Curtman,who has
been holding tests for three days of the
viscera taken from he bodies of two -
lead convicts. Dr. Curtman held eight J
tests, each one resulting the same, I
ahowing absence of arsenic. This*set- f
ies the poisoning theory, and now e
avery one believes the disease among 3
:he convicts to be a type of cholera. si
Dr. Putnam Dickinson, Secretary of k
Board of Health, made an analysis for z
soma bacilli this afternoon. He believes si
hat the disease is not contagious or ]
nfectious, but that it was caused by
Irnking contaminated water or some
imilar entrance of organic material.

How it Woks. .
[Richmond Times.]
Recent events have placed the Farm- B
~rs' Alliance thoroughly in the saddle '
a South Carolina, and it is proceeding
0 play the proverbial part of the beg- te
;ar on horseback. Its first act was the ti
passage of a statute whieb, if carried Ti
it literally, would simply confiscate
be property of all the railroads in rr
loth Carolina. This, of course, ends al
be possibility of building any more sc
ailroads in that State, since no sane be
nan is going to invest his money in bi
SState. when he is notified before- E
iand that it will be confiscated. Their is
iext act was to pass a law imposing o'
onfiscatory taxation on the property if
f all corporations. The first answer rn
e have to that is the statement that
be National Bank of Newberry has of
leclared a dividened of fifty per cent.
in its capital stock. .
This means that it has divided up all
ts surplus amongst its stockholders to
educe its property liable to taxation.
his, of course, reduces its resources for
raking loans and accommodation by
hat much, and a people already corn- N
laning that there is not money 'e
nough for them to be able to borrow a
ehen they needed it, deliberately drive in
way a large part of the supply that oi
bey have. Of course the money that in
emains will charge them an increased ce
ercentage on all that they hereafter'
orrow, and so class legislation always at
as worked, and always will go on t
forking. _______ _pe

Little Mountain Social Club," whici
as looked forward to with so muel
terest by the "creame de la creame'
Newberry colored society, was giver

mber 29th, 1892.
The club was organized six month!
o for the specific purpose of: concen
ating the better classes of the colores
~ople intellectually and sl5ei'ally, an(
has been quite a power in that re
ect since the initial picnic given sl
ittle Mountain, from which the Clut
~rived its name. The elub put forti
renuous efforts to make the banquel
e grandest affair ever attempted b3
e young colored men.
The hall was beautifully decoratec
ith ivy, holly and cedar; there wai
so hung on the walls quite a numbei
beautiful pictures, including en
rged portraits of the prominent mem
r, which gave.the ball the appear
ice of the interior of a "modern-day
atle."
The hall was also divided off inte
artments: parlor, sitting room, hal
oper, ladies' private room, gents' pri
te room, dining room and kitchen
ue of the most striking features thai
ruck the eye upon entering was "Tut
tle Mountain Social Club," dis.
ayed in large artistic letters, and jusi
>posite, not Ies striking, was the
ord "welcome."
Invitations to the number of OnE
mdred were extended and ninety
ro respQnded. The gentlemen were
esed in full conventionals; the Ia
es were attired in fall drescostume
nk, blue and cream, which madE
ite a gaudy show.
The neatly arranged programme,

rtners, twist, etc., -was carried out ira

nice repast was partakea of, aftei
iich Prof. Andrew P. Butler was
lIed upon to toast the occasion, which
as done appropriately in his very
ique manner. E. H. Williams,

bo spoke very succinctly with respect
the achievements theclub had made
d its hope for the-future. Mr. A. W.
bertson followed in his usual good
ebanquet continued till 4 o'clock,
d thus ended the grandest and most
ccessful affair ever attempted by the

EXCELSIOR NOTES.
A happy New Tear to the Herald
and News typos and readers.
Our school reopened again on Mon
day after enjoying the holidays.
Prof. J. S. Wheeler has taken in a
new lady boarder since our last letter.
Christmas passed off very quietly in
our village, no accidents, and every
body seemed to be happy and cheerful.
Mrs. A. H. Miller has been spending
i. several days with her daughter here.
- Mr Jesas Matthews, of Saluda Old
Town, visited relatives in our village
during the .holidays.
- Pett, little daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
J. H. Dominick, has been quite ill with
pneumonia.
Old Santa Claus uniformed -himself
in style on Christmas eve and visited
[ around in the community- The chil
dren are generally backward in meet
ing old Santa and extending to him a
k .kind welcome to-their homes, yet they
n patiently await his annualvisits.
' Mr. S. L. Shealy and family have
moved to their new home in St. Luke's
neighborhood.
_ Messrs. James. D. Kinard and Ru
fus C. Counts have returned to New
berry College after spending the Christ
mas bolidays at home.
Messrs. John A. Boland and Ira
E Nates visited relatives up at Gary's
e Lane during the holidays.
Y Monday was the first saleday in the
* year and a good many of our farmers
4' went up to visit your city.
Or alwe totice the Legislature has passed
a a owipe otbarrooms, and we
e guess this is pronounced a prohibition
law. .Well, we are not a lover of strong
drink, and in fact care very little abgut
the liquor business, but it don't seem
to us that the Legislature has passed a~
law for prohibition yet. We await the
result of such a prohibition law.
Mr. F. E. Kibler, while home du a
yJsit from Atlanta last week paid us a
pop call on Fri8ay afternoon. Glad to
Llearn from him that he is well pleased
1with Atlanta.
VOur village was decorated with a
Sgood big snow last week, the largest
snow we have had in several years past.
-Some of our experienced farmers say
that a snow is a sign for a good crop
-year. Well, we hope it may be so.
*,The old year Is past and gone and we
now enter upon the duties of the new
year. All our shortcomings and mis
haps of tbe past year are sealed and
will face us at a future day. Let us all
-feel that we have been blessed and still.
tlook forward f or a brighter future.
I Items from WhitmDires.
r The new Methodist church at Whit
-mires was dedicated last Sunday morn
ing at 11 o'clock. Bie bop WV. W. Dun
can preached tbe dedication sermon;
his text was "Ye are the salt of the
earth: but if the salt ha'-e lost his
savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it
is thenceforth good for nothing but to
Sbe cast out and - to- be trodden under
foot of men. Ye a re the light of the
world. A city that is set on a hill can
not be bid." St. Matt. 5: 13-14. The
sermon- was a very interesting one,
and was listened to by a very large and
attentive congregation.
There was a hot supper given at the
Ihotel on Thursday night, the 29th of
December, for the benefit of the Bap
tist church, which is nearing comple
tion; the entertainment was well pat
ronized, and every onie had a very
pleasant time; the committee report
$30 as the amount cleared for the
church.
Friday night the young people of
the community had a dance at the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. Joo. P. Fant.
IThere was quite a crowd of girls and
