I The main object of this law as it ap earsto us ' .~V1lithat isto bes 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 - et ~f~elJ, no doubt th ilbe lively dz es n1894, butfortisop The reform Legislnture, just ad urned, has: done much towards giv-1 g good fees to good lawyers. There il no doubt be much litigation for e State, and good lawyers will be in Dmand. Truly, great is reform, and many vi ings are done and attempted to be at )e in thy name. -M 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. If the State is to sell the pole their 1 rhiskey, why not deal in fetlizers, - orn, meat and otber stapl articles? If t re are to get whiskey from the State ~ nd its purity guaranteed, it would C e a great help to those people, who 8 lon't know how to take care of them- ~ elves, to have the fatherly care and 5 trotection of the State officials in the P ~manageme.nt of their business.

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 etments had watered their stock. ep ie innocent holders of these bonds !re crying for interest on their invest- .f ent but the roads could not be pushed the extent to give it to them and ti eir wishes must not stand against the C re RPill _.neQnir: .t--w ,rue that some railroad men might be ;hrown out of jobs and for. this he ould be sorry, but some 65,000 people )f the State had declared for the rail oad legislation that had been enacted )y the Legislature and it must stand. He denied in toto the assertion that >e had said that the wishes of eight or en thousand railroad employees did iot amount to a damn beside the wishes of 65,000 people of other classes. rHE WORD OF FOUR HONEST WORKING 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.

The committeemen furnish and ouch for the following report: "TILMAN CUBss." "The committee called on Governor illinan at his office after leaving the 2as meeting, and stated to him that t a meeting held at the court house of be railroad employees, they had been ppointed to wait on him and request bat he postpone signing the Wilson airoad bill until they could have time properly present tbe objections -to urm. "Governor Tillman replied as fol >ws: 'The bill has already been signed -as 3 p. m.-at my residence, carried iere by Mr. Pope, clerk of the Senate, nd is now in the 'Secretary of State's fce and a 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.

[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 The Penitentiary Plums,.i LSpecial te News and Courier.] de CoLm~MmA, January 2.-Superinten- St ent of the Penitentiary Neal;will ta se tU arge to-morrow.
