WEDIES I. IMU 1. 1893. ELBERT IL AULL, EDITOL ELBERT H. AULL, Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL, NEWBERRY, S. C, MAYOR OF NEWBERRY. The resignation of Mr. L. W. C. Bla lock as Mayor of Newberry is pub lished elsewhere in this issue. The people of Newberry have not had time to think of naming his successor. The Herald and News would help them to come to a conclusion, as this is an off election, by suggesting that Mr. D. B. Wheeler be promoted to the office of Mayor of Newberry for the unexpired teru. He has been recently acting as Mayor pro tem., and there is no doubt that he will be an acceptable and ca pable man at the head of the affairs ol the town of Newberry. The* Herald and News makes this as a suggestion only. If Mr. Wbeeler should accept the nomination, there would be three vacancies to fill: Mayor, Alderman for Ward 2, and Alderman for Ward 4. There are about a dozen candidate, for Collec.or of Internal Revenue un der Presidenc Cleveland. Whoever getsit will have a s-Aft job-dispensary or prohibition, signing freeholders or . non-signing freeholders. It is a gill edge appointment. R. C. Huffman, of Baltimore, ha been elected President of the Seaboard Air Line in place of the late John M. Robinson. The faculty of the South Carolina College has suspended eleven students for making a boLifire and causing the people of Co',nbia much alarm one night last wtek, and the people of Co lumbia got up a petition to the faculty to revoke its -decision in the matter. The faculty met Monday night and came to a determination, but did not let the newspaper men into the secret. This is a day of the "petition," and in this case it may have had its usual salutary (?) effect. Tha Gr?enviile News comes forward with the olive branch upon its brow. We look for some journals to tear their hair at this juncture. It is a relief to know that we are tc have no March conventions this year. "The Industrial and Wage-Worker. Democratic League" has postponed its convention to April 19th. HERE'S FOR A COSIPROMISE. Editor WilHlams Strongly in Favor ofa Fair Divison of Federal Patronage Between the Two Fact'ons In the stats. [Greenville News, Feb. 26.] The esteemed State hoists the flag of "no compromise.)' It demands that all the Federal offices be given tc straight and stalwart Sheppard and Orr men-that weak kneed Conserva tives and Tillmanite converts and met of unknown positions be all barred. It insists that the line be drawn and that all the Federal offices be givei either to Tillmanites or Conservatives. , We do not know whether or noi the Greenville News would be classed by the State as "weak kneed.'' We have our own opinions on that mat ter. This newspaper is, however, thor oughly in favor of a comoromise anda fair divide all around. 'she masses o0 Governor Tillman's supporters are not radicals or political plunderers. They are good people and are as honestly anxious for the well being of the State and as much interested in it as The State or the Greenville News or any body else. We do not wish to treal them as foes, and could not do it if we wished to. When people of the same race, the same party and thbe same interests havy had a quarrel concessions and eompro mises involving no surren.der of prin ciple on either side are the only propel methods of restoring peace. Peace surely desirable for every reason. We do not intend to surrender to the Till mnanites and confess that we have beer wrong and they right nor would wi ask them to make such confessions ani surrender to us. We believe the peo pie on both sides are anxious to get to gether. We know it is of tremendou! importance that they should get to gether. So long as the present breacd and bitterness continues the State is is very serious danger. To adopt the ex pressed policy of The State is to plaa exactly into Governor Tillmian's hands He knows that there are no difference: of principle among the Democrats o the State. His organs and spokesmei are unable to name one point of essentia difference. Governor Tillman knows or should know, that he has been ar expensive failure, that so soon &s hi record is calmly and honestly studiec he will have to go. It is to his insteres to keep alive bitterness and factiona feeling and heat. His purposes woulc be served just as well-better, perhapi -by the drawing of the line against his follo wers as by the dra wing of the lini against his opponents. The Greenville News is against Till man because it is for South Carolina and the great Democratic party. FM the same reason it opposes the ostra cism of any Democrat because of his honest opinion in State politics. We hope to see the line drawn onij so far that care will be taken that eaci side of the line will have an equal shar< with the other side in South Carolina We do not wish to see a conquerec peace. We wish a peace secured by the good feeling :sf the good people e both sides so that the strife of the las1 three years may be remembered only to be avoided in the future. Extreme and violent men of boti sides should be left out. Men whose allegiance to the Democratic party an doctrine is doubtful and wavering and who are not sound to the core ought ta be rigidly excluded. Men who have labored to stir strife for their own ad vantage ought to be denied all favors by people and President. All the offices-Federal and State should be divided with precise equal ity between the two factions. Th.ley should be given to moderate, fair minded, sober metn who are true Dem ocrats and who have taken and hl their positions from honest sense of duty. There are plenty of such men in both factions. We should all work together to have factional lines broken down in this State by 1894 so that the whbite people of our State may again be a solid, in vincible host, working and thinking together for the State and the party. That is a patriotic hope and purpose, the only one we can see our way tc hold; for continuation of the conditions of last year means an inevitable split and fearful disaster. These Tillman people are South Car olina white men. They can not be whipped or bulldozed or bullied intc a peace. We would be asbamed of them if they could be. We are equally sure that the anti-Tillman people can not be driven or forced by threats or pressure or starvation. The thing to be done is for each side to drop its arms, prove its purpose to deal justly with the other and agree on a peaceful union on fair terms, each forgiving and forgetting some things, each sur rendering some of its claims, or even its rights, for the sake of the State. ON THE ANXIOUS BENCH. Wbat Carolina Faction Will Control the Federal Patronage? Earl or Elliott Will be District Attorney. [Special to Augusta Chronicle.] WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 26.-The question most intricate and interesting to South Carolinians just now is which faction of the Palmetto Democracy will coutrol the federal patronage of that state. Senator Butler is certain to come in for his share, but it is a fact conceded by every (ne here that Congressman Brawley -ill have powerful influence. He is a warm personal friend of the President-elect, and is thorough ac cord with him on the silver question. In fact, he is the only anti-silver man in Congress from his State. It is gen erally believed that he will be Mr. Cleveland's personal representative in the lower House during the ne4t Con gress, Senator Irby expects proper re cognition of the Tillman faction, and his efforts are zealously backed by Shell. McLaurin and Strait. Many gentlemen here who own al giance to the Conservative faction openly state that, in their opinion, Mr. Cleveland will favor the Tillmanites with the largest portion of the Carolina patronage. Messrs. Latimer and Tal bert are in the same boat and will pull together, but where they will pull to or with what success nobody knows. However, their certificates of election, based as they are upon an ultra-Alli ance vote, make it fairly certain that their reception by the President will be anything else but cordial. But in the general division of the spoils ex Governor Thompson and Comptroller Trenholm will carry an influence to be courted rather than neglected. At present the race for District Attor ney lies between Gen. Earle and Con gressman Elliott, Altbough Chas. A. Douglass, of Columbia, is backed by Judge Simonton. But the gentleman first named has a decided lead over the whole field of eighteen. The fight for marshal is as compli plicated as that for district attorney. It has narrowed to a triangular affair be tween Pope (Tillmanite), Donaldson (Alliance), and Brooks (Conservative). Chances favor Capt. Brooks, who belongs t- one of the most prominent families in South Carolina. Hon. Preston Brookq. who caned Sumner, and Wbitfield Brooks, of Mexican war fame, were both his brothers. How ever Dr. Sampson Pope has rented rooms at the National hotel and pro poses to make it lively for the man who beats him. The office of Collector of Internal Revenue will lie filled either by Col. D. A. Tompkins, Governor Tillman's pri vate secretary, or Gen. John Bratton. both good men. The one is backed by the Tillmanites, the other by the Con servatives. Knowing ones agree that ex-Mayor Geo. B. Bryan will collector of the Charleston port and Marion M. Hut son of Yemassee, collector of the port at Beaufort. POSTMASTER AT NINETY-SIX GONE WRONG eTookc SL60I, and Is not Able to Re place It.-An the Hands of Vncle sam. [The State, Feb. 27th.] J. W. folbert the whit 3 postmaster of Ninety-Six on the Columbia and Greenville road,is charged with ipiaking use of govern4nent money, and as a re sult he is now in the clutches of Uncle Sam. He will have trouble to extricate h-nself. He was brought to Columbia last night by U. S. Deputy MarshalJ. Perry Cook, who was accompanied by U. IS. Postoffice insppector Baird. He is the man who caught Tolbert napping, It seems that Tolbert, who is a son of the well-known white Republican can didate for Congress, John R. Tolbert, and only about twenty-four years of age though quite well off, some time he ago needed $1,600. He could not raise the necessary amount at the t'ime, and he proceeded to use $1,600 of Uncle Sam's money, his office being a money order office, with the intention of replacing it, and thinking that no trouble would come of it. All would have been safe and no tronble would have come of the matter had not one of those mysteri ously moving individuais, a United States PostofficeInspector,in the person of Mr. Baird, suddenly swooped down upon him. He had no time then to raise the money and replace it before the whole thing was discovered. The delinquent postmaster pleaded for mercy and his friends at on e made the missing money good. But the govern ment is very strict about the sanctity of its funds and Inspector Baird hurried Idown to Columbia, and swore out a warrant for the arrest of Tolbert before United States Commissioner Bauskett, icharging him with the violation of the ostal laws. The commissioner, not iaving his constable available, gave the warrant to Inspector Baird, and telegraphed Marsball Perry to meet him, get the warrant and arrest the man. The arrest was made on Satur Sday evening, but too late, for the marshal to get here by that day's train, and he'did not arrive with his prisoner 1till yesterday afternoon. Young Tolbert was taken before Coin missioner Bauskett at once, and was Sallowed bond in the sum of $1,000 for Ihis appearance at the preliminary hear ting to take place before the commis 1sioner to-day. oing toteInaugurationi.

INTO THE SUPREM1E COURT. rhe State Carries the Railroad Case Up Upon a Question of Jurisdiction. [The State, February 25.1 The railroad war has been carried to the highest court in the land. The at .orneys of the State seem to be push .ng the matter simply in accordance with the instructions of Governor Till man who is determined not to release "his hold" till the last ditch is reached. rhey are going to try to pick some law in Judge Goff's opinion by which ,hey can get the merts of the original 3ase heard by the court, failing in which they will attempt to get the merits heard in the United States Su preme Court, by the slow process of ap peal. At the same time the State is pre paring in the next few days to make a notion before Judges Bond and Goff tor the appointment of a master to ear testimony in the orignal railroad tax cases in this State so that they can zet the merits decided upon earlier than would otherwise be possible. Yesterday morning Attorney-Gen ral Townsend dropped into the city, aving just returned from Wasington where lie has been with Senator Irby or the last few days. Maj. Townsend was seen soon after ie arrived at his office. . He appeared very much tired out and had the ap pearance of a man who is cei tainly arning his salarg. He said that it had been definitely lecided to carry the cases to the United States.Supremue Court, and that March th had been fixed as the day for the iearing. it will come up as originally tended on an application for babeas orpus. "Can you say anything as to what he basis of the proceeding is ?" "I cannot tell you anything about what we are basing our fight on just now, although we baye fully agreed n our course of action. Messrs. Jones ind Lord, and myself, will assist Mr. rucker, who is the leading attorney. [ cannot yet say who will appear at ,bis hearing save Mr. Tucker and my elf. Mr. Tuckerl is: now in Washing on preparing for the fi-ht. I can say o you that the hearing will be before he full bench of the Suprme Court, as t will be in session by that time." "Will you attempt to have the merits )f the original cr-es considered ?" "Of course we would like to have the merits considered and decided upon, but that will be a matter over which we and the attorneys of the other side will have to fight. At any rate the :uestion of jurisdiction will be the eading matter, and it m ty or may not )e decided that it involves also the merit-;." Governor Tillman hid nothing fur 1her to say on the subject yesterday. It is not yet knowa who will appear is the attorneys for the railroads. It is very likely that the same men who 7ppeared in Charleston will be the tepresentatives of the roads, and they will probably be headed by that vig >rous fighter, Mr. Crawford. RUSHING UP THE PAPERS. [The State, Feb. 26.] Owing to the progress of the railroad war it may be safely said that the At torney-General of South Carolina is perhaps at ibis time the hardest worked >flcial in the State. Till yest3rday morning the Attorney-General has not had the chance since last Tuesday nearly a week ago to remove his cloth ing and take a night's rest. For several nights past he has been working till 2 'o'clock every morning, and then getting up and and con tin ning his labor before 5 o'clock. He is now at work preparing the briefs and application for habea's corpus in the railroad contempt cases. This brief and application will over cover seventy-five pages of printed matter. Attorney 3eneral T~ownsend says just as soon as be can ' t these pap.:rs printed be is going to Airnish them to the op.posing nide and iepublic.- They are being printed in this city. He says he has nothing to keep secret save his authori ties and intends for the opposition to get the papers before the timle for the opening oef -the court in Charleston. rhe outline of these papers was made it his conference with Mr. Tucker in Washington and he is elaborating the rough draft and putting in the authori ties. He expects to get them all from the printer by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. He goes down to Char leston armed with proof sheets to get some dates,etc., from the records of the United States .Coart. He expects to leave Washington next Sunday night, to appear at the hearing before the United States'.Supreme Court. He does, not know whether or not Messrs. Jones and Lord will go to Washington to appear, or whether they desire to do He corroborates the assertion made ibat the State would in a few days ap ply for a master to hear the testimony in the origina' tax cases, and says Judge Simonton will hardly dismiss the mo ion.

[Special to News and Courier.] VANVILLE. February 24.-Five ne roes--three children, 2, 4 and 7 years >d, and two boys, 15 and 17 years were burned to death in a house near Varnville, belonging to Van Bros., ast night. The mother of the three ima1 children was away atending a A MAN OF -ANY WIVES. Three States Represented and Several Counties of South Carolina.. CHA RLFSTON, S. C., Feb, 24.-Col. A. E. Hagood of Chicago was brought here from Atlanta V>-day by the father of his 16-year-old wife, Mr. Beaudrot, to answer to the charge of bigamy. Col. Hagood had scarcely been placed be hind the prison bars before there was a rush of wives from various parts of the State to this city, and it is probable that a convention of his wives will be held here. When the Court of Sessions meets, on Monday next, it is thought that many counties in the State will be represent,ed by a Mrs. Hagood. Thus far only two States outside of South Carolina have been heard from. The 6tata of Illinois is represented by Mrs. Belle Hagood of Chicago. Georgia has another. When the Colonel was brought here only two wives were known to be in existence. In less than twenty-four hours nearly a dozen women have been beard from, and the ret urus are not yet all in. Charleston furnishes three victims. The one in Savannah seems to be senior in rank so far as is known. She was married to him about twenty years ago in Grahamville. Barnwell county, and has borne him five chil dren. one of whom, an 18-year-old daughter, has been living with the Colonel. He had also married a Miss Davis in Waterboro, who b >re him four children, and then died. Col. Hagood came to Charleston ten years ago and married a Miss Alley, the daughter of a rich undertaker here. Her wifebood lasted about three weeks. She is dead. He was next heard of at Pineopolis, an aristocratic settlement in Berkeley coun y, where he went through a marriage ceremony with a Miss Atkins. Ttlen he was beard of in Vanceburgh, where he was married again. After six or eight years he dis appeared. Two years ago be returned to Charleston and, under the name of Coyle, married a dashing young widow, Mrs. Clancy, with whom he remained about three months. Then he went to Philadelphia and wrote to his latest wife that he had the grip and that she must look out for the announcement of his death in the Philadelphia papers. The announcement came in due time. Seven monthsago be returned to Char leston and married Miss Beaudrot. The precise time of his marriage to the Chicago wife is not known. The woman who followed him here is ap parently wealt hy and has furnished the money to bail nim out. Hagood's Savannah wi;e says that she paid him $20 a month. Her maiden name was Beck. She was about to enter a convent here, when she fell heir to some pro perty and met Hagood. Hagood is of the distinguished family to w bich Gen. Johnson Hagood, a famous Confederate General of this State, belonged. There can be no doubt of his connection with the family. He is distinctly aHagood. He is about 60 years old, was in the Confederate army, and is very hand some. At the preliminary hearing to day bail was fixed at $1,000, which was advanced by his Chicago wife, and the Colonel was set at liberty. BAGOOD JUMPING HIS BAIL. rSpecial to The Register.] BA3iBERG. S. C., Feb. 24.-I traveled from Branchville to Bamberg with E. A. Hagood end wife. He says his first wife is dead and that he married the Charleston lady while unde- the in fuence of whiskey, and the Chicago lady is his only lawful wife. He is on his way home to Atlanta, Ga. He has a large stock farm in South Georgia and a big wholesale business. He is out 0n $1,0(. bond for his appearance at the next term of court in Charleston. Mr. Hagt x and wife are handsome and polished in their appearance. 'IHE BIRDS HAD FLOWN. (Special to The State.) CHARLESToN, February 2.5.-As was indicated in The State this morning, Maj. Hagood, the prize bigamist, shook the dust of Charleston from his feet as soon as his bail bond was fixed. A telegram arrived from his Savannah wife, asking Chief Martin to detain him here, but the birds had flown, and nobody here expects to see them again. Plans of the Whiskey Men. [Special to News and Courier.1 COLUMBIA, February 24.-There was a general opinion that the counsel for the Liquor Dealers' Association would appear before the Supreme Court at its special session and secure some kind of an order that would give them preced ene in the fight that is to be made against the bill. The course of the counsel has excited some inquiry. It need not be presumed that because the counsel employed by the liquor men have done nothing for show that they are not hard at work-on the case. From all that can learned they are all hard at work studying the points in the fight. Mr. Smith, of Mitchell & Smith, Mr. J. N. Nathans, and Mr. James Simons, Siegling .& Cappel man, are looking up the law in the case. It is understood that these lawyers are to prepare individual opin ions as to the possibilities of the case and as to the best way of proceeding if they find that there is good enc ugh case for them to go into Couirt. The opinions 'ked for are to deal with the possibili ties of the suit and to tell the associa tion honestly what are the chances, and, if the council decide that they have a good ese, how it would be best to make the fight. It is understood that the present intention is to take the case directly to the United States Court. It would he necessary to get out an, injunction if the case is not takeo there before June or July. If the case is taken to the Federal Court there is a good chance of another conflict of jurisdic tion, if Governor Tillman still insists that he will have the law carried out at all hazards. Judge Golf or Judge Eii monton may again have to tell the sherifis to leave certain things alone. Charleston seems to have had a pret ty hard time of it trying to suit every body. There was complaint from cer ain quarters that the association would not employ counsel that had been recommended. T be trouble seemed to be that too many places had counsel to suggest, and the executive committee thought that it would be best to select the counsel from Charleston, where they could all be together for consulta tion. Edgetield, it is said, wanted Ex Governor Sheppard em ployed; Georae tovn said it would contribute $100 provided that Mr. Dozier would be employed; the Greenville dealers wanted Earle and Mooney; the Colum bia association wanted Judge Melton employed, and so it went on until the executive committee had itself in a tangle and came to the conclusien that the association could not undertake to employ a doze.i lawyers. The associa tion has not yet decided what course it will employ in relation to Major Ham lton, who now has a case before the Supreme Court. Tere is very little being said just now about the signing of petitions for the establishment of dispensaries. The general opinion is that, notwithstand ing the work of ultra prohibitionists and the Good Templars, the larger cities will all ask for dispensaries. T H E POPE'S PR ESENTs.
