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.

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.

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.

wife is dead and that he married the

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.

1 could scarcely eat anything because of the in
tense pain in my stomach. I was also at one
time covered with salt rheum, and my cougb
weakened me so that I could scarcely walk. I
had several attacks of bleeding at the lungs
My breath became so short that I was unable to
work and was obliged to give up my business,
which is that of a mason. I could not eveE
walk about mucii. So I kept going from bad tc
worse. I then had an attack of the shingles,
which, with all my other complaints, confined
me to my room for three months and
Nearly Took Away My Life.
I had heard of Hood's Sarsaparilla as a good
medicine, so I bought a bottle. When I had
taken it, I found it had done me some good, sc
I continued till I had taken three bottles. I im
proved so rapidly that I could walk out of doors
and have steadily gained till I am at wort
again and use my hammer and trowel onct
Hood's Cures
more. Th; physicians told me flive years ago thal
I would not live three years, and all the neigh
bors think It a very strange thing to see me al
work again. It is the strength given me b3
Hood's Sarsaparilla which cnablC me to do it?
