WED.ESD, MUCH 15. 1893. ELBERT IL AULL, EDITOR. ELBERT H. AULL, p - WM. P. HOUSEAL, roprietors. NEWBERRY. S. C. SCANVAL It is a very strange thing how eagerly most people hunger and thirst, as .it were, to bear and keep going, anything 1 that is bad about their fellow beings. It seems to be a part of our fallen na- 1 tures to love such things. Most peo ple are much more ready and willing to circulate evil than good reports about their neighbors. Before we speak evil of cur neighbors or circulate evil reports c cerning t hen,we should be careful of the ficts. Otherwise irreparable injury might be done an innocent person. An evil report once started can never be overtaken. Just the other day we read the fol lowing story which points a very good moral, and it would have been much easier for the woman to have gathered together all the stray feathers than for a falsehood once started to be overtaken. The pious Philip Neri was once vis ited by a lady who had been circulat ing some slanders. He bade her go to s the market, buy a chicken just killed I and still covered with feathers, and walk a certain distance, plucking the feathers as she went. The woman did I as she was directed, and returned anx ious to know the meaning of the in junction. "Retrace your steps," said Philip, "and gather up one by one, all the feathers you have scattered." "I cast the feathers carelessly away," said the woman, "and the wind ear ried them in all directions." "Well, my child," replied Philip, "so it is with slander. Like the feath ers which the u iad has scattered, they have been wafted in many directions. Call theni back now if you can." A very wholesome and useful lesson may be learned from this simple illus tration if we would all just try the least to learn it. 1 Governor Tilmnim seems to be very ' hard to please. When Judge Simon ton decides a c-l, and his decision is against the Sta.e, Gov. Tillman abuses him and calls him a corporation judge, and then when he decides a case in favor of the State, our Governor con tinues to abuse him, and it seems to be impossible for Judge Siwonton to please him, and, in fact, we do not sup pose JudgeSimonton is bothering him self much about trying to please any 1 one in the making of his decisions. t He decides the cases before him accord ing to his understanding of the law and does not bother himself about pleasing1 any one. The Oeouzee News and Greenville News have agreed on a compromise State ticket for 1S94. It is found in another colu'mn. The Herald and News cannot endorse that ticket 'n full even as a compromise. There are some men on the ticket that would suit us, but then it is too soon to be talking about State officers for 1894. Let us talk about planting corn, or who is to get the Federal patronage, or planting watermelons, or gardens, or anything, but let us have a rest for at least a little while from this mna'.er of the State ticket for 1894.< We have it from good authority that the present State administration will not have much of a pull on the Fed erai patronage for this State. MJr. Cleveland will not enter into the fac tional fight in this State, but in mik ing flis appointments he will take the advice of his friends, which seems .to us to be quite natural, and, in fact, the r proper thing for him to do.] "Say what you will, the city or town ( * which has the largest manufacturingi interests is the place that is getting there with both feet." That is very r true, and the town that does not build' manufacturing enterprises is the town C that is getting left and will continue to be left. Do you see the point? There seems to be anything but peace and quiet in the Tillman political household at present. MIr. Geo. WV.i Shell, the first and original writer of 3 the great Shell manifesto, does not now seem to be working in harmony with Senator Irby, and a big split up seems s imminent. ( Senator Irby is remaining very closely at his post in Washington E these days. But then there is no cam paign going on in South Carolina now.i In fact the campaign has been trans r ferred to Washin~gton, and our junior Senator believes in looking after cam-t paigns and the offices.t The Sumter Herald is hard to satisfy. r We have had two terms of Governore *Tillman, and now the Herald wants him for a third term. But Gov. Till- a man, no doubt, wants somet~thing r higher and bigger. Every South Carolinian will be glad f to know thbat the State's debt has been I' arranged for and the bonds taken. Wet are glad that Governor Tiliman and ri Treasurer Bates have succeeded in placing thbe bonds. Trhe State has another law suit, now with. the city of Columbia for taxes e claimed to be due on the city Hall.t The present administration can find as many lawsuits as any administration d the State has ever had. - v Mr. Cleveiand does not desire for any of those persons who held positions under him during his former adminis tion to feel that they have a lien on their old places, and he has so stated. It is said that applications for ap-' pointment as postmxasters are being re ceived at Washington at the rate of t about one thousand a day. It takes a 3 big force of clerks to keep up with a them and file and acknowledge them.c There is a miania in -this country for f JL I WADE HAMPTON. The Heralct and News is very glad udeed, that President Cleveland i loing to recognize the worth of Genera Wade Hampton, and that his appoint nent is to be the first made. He is ,rand old man and, considering hi, ervices to his State, our new order o hings treated him very cruelly and un ,ratefully. He has served his Stat4 !obly and well, in peace and in war Lmd to have her turn her back upot iin in his declining days was base in iratitude. It is said that every Senato: >f the United States joined in a peti ion to President Cleveland to give hin n appointment, except, perhaps,Sena or Irby, who now has Gen. Hampton' >lace. The position of railroad commission r, that he is to get, ii worth $4,500 rear and requires very little work. As we have remarked before, thi lisposition to relegate to the rear an( o teach our children to forget thos vho have served us well and grandi3 n the past, is one, to us, of the saddes eatures of this new order of politics ir his State. This appointment of Gen lampton, in the manner it is done, i stinging rebuke to our lotter-day poli icians in South Carolina. We cannot refrain from copying th llowing from the Greenvilld News o eceut date: "Hurrah for Wade Hampton! H 6ught and gave his blood and fortun or South Carolina and led her througt real revolution and to substantia )eace and safety with wonderful wis loi and courage. Certain politician if his State in their inordinate greed or place and lust for vengeance turned iim out of the high office he honored, k1l the senators of these United tates and Grover Cleveland, the presi lent twice chosen, now combine to d< Nade Hampton honor and to testif3 heir affection and respect for as tru( LUd manly a man as ever breathed. HE iad no such claim on them as he had oL he people of South Carolina, but they mew his work and worth. Ex-Confed rates and ex-Federals, democrats and epublicans, are unanimous in accept ng him as a man of whom Ameries nay be proud and whom she may love Lnd do honor to. "Hurrah for Hampton; splendid old hief, leader and hero who has nevei leceived or betrayed friend or cause nd w bo has carried the proud name ol outh Carolinan with pride and honoi ,d won new pride and honor for it it var and peace! It is glorious to know hat be is appreciated over all this con inent. His vindication is magnificent, rhe rebuke to those who struck hirt own is withering. The honor don lampton is an expression of the con eipt of every State of the union foi he crafty, greedy spoilsmen who at empted to repudiate him in the namf f his State." Mr. Bissell does not propose to ap )oint men to the position of postinas er who will not give their time per onally to the office. That is right ii bere is a living salary conne:ted wit]: he place. Mr. Cleveland says that there is n< ruth in the rei art that he would not .ppoint an editor to any position undel im. They will stand on the footina vith other office hunters. Secretary H6ke Smith gets to hi: fice early and is a hustler when it omes to work. He will find a lot o1 t to do in his department. Washington is full of office seekers, nd the chiefs of departments are be ieged with applicants. Governor Tillman has respited the entence of the wife murderer Lavelle if Charleston for thirty day s. A BLAsr FROMI THE GOVERN~OR. [o Pitches Into Judge Shnonton on thi Recent Dispensary Decision. [Special to News and Courier.[ COLDIBIA, March 10.-Well, the in uguration is over, and almost every ody has returned to Columbia and the aachinery is running along as usual. )uring thbe absence of the State and ther officials the newspaper men rat ver to New York and other places lovernor Tillmnan was away, and dur g his absence had nothing whatever o z'ay. To-day he started out again rith his usual Carolina work, and has aade his return noteworthy witha rich, rare and racy" interview con erning the recent decision of Judge imon ton on tue Evans dispensary ill. lie said, by way of preface, that he as talking now because he had not had n opportunity of giving expression to Is views as he was away from the tate. "I consider it a more outrageous avasion of State's rights than any thing et coming from that source, and it ears all the marks of a job gotten up etween Simonton and those two law. ers to give an onportunity to hedge by decision in the State's favor, to bliterate in a measure the unfavorable mpression created by his recent deci~ ion in the railroad cases. "If-this is not so how did he get up so laborate an opinion in so sboi t a time? fe knew he had uojurisdiction in this ase and said so, but ne could have said :in three words and dismissed the quest for an injunction without going ito such a long and labored opinion. expect him to :Ippoint a receiver for be Governor's office before I get out, ut he will nave a happy time getting osses-ion of it, for he has as miuch: ight to vacate my <afice as be has to ntertain an injunction against me s :xecutive. "He enjoined me in the Coosaw case s an individual. t hereby obtaining ju isdiction, and if I had had any miachm ry belonging to the State, with~ rhich to have mtined, I would hare one on and mined and paid -no atten on to him.

The Hanelsome New College Bui.dlng Par tially Demolished. [Special to The State. I DUE WEST, March 10.-Erskine's 3 new college building was nearing com f pletion. Day by day its beauty and . attractiveness were growing upon all who looked upon it. Everybody was looking forward to having our con mencement exercises in its large and commodious auditorium in June. All . day yesterday the painters and carpen r ters were at work. They stopped at 6 p. m. At 7.30 p. m. a loud crash was heard by many people of the town, i and those who beard it knew that the sound came from Erskine College. On hastening to the building a terri ble condition of things was to be seen inside the large hall. In the gymna sium under the hall are several brick pillars laid upon concrete and capped with stone, and upon these pillars rests several iron posts running through the S hall to the second story. These posts I support large iron beams. On one of these beams is built a solid brick fire wall, twelve inches thick, clear to the roof. It is supposed that this wall was t too heavy. At any rate, something I gave way, and brick wall, iron beams, ceiling and flooring came crashing ' through to-the ground. A few of the rooms are wrecked. In - addition to this, the observatory tower has lost a few bribk, is cracked on two sides and is out of plumb. It it such a; mass of wreckage that the exact trouble cannot be ascertained definitely. Other parts of the building are as good as ever. The general opinion is that it will not take less than $5,00 to repair the L damage. It is fortunate that the accident oc curred at night, for if it had happened I in daylight, more than likely some one I would have been crushed to death. The architect, Mr. J. F. Denson, of I Washington, D. C., was telegraphed for last night and nothing will be done until he arrives. EDITORS ARE ELIGIBLE. No Discrimination Against Newspaper Men in the Rush for Office. WASHINGTON, March, 13.-The re port that President Cleveland has told the Congressmen that he did not in tend to appoint newspaper men to office for the reason that he might be accused of "subsidizing the press," does not hold good. Congressmen Dockery, D' Armond, Cobb, Burns and Morgan, of Mi:ssouri, called on the President to day for theexpress purpose of ascertain ing the truth about "the no journalist need apply" rule. Mr. Dockery asked Mr. Cleveland pointblank whether it was true or not that he had discrimi nated against newspaper men, and the answer came, just as straight aq the question that there was no such inten tion. From this, and other statements made by the President, the delegation went away satisfied that the story had arisen through some misconstruction of other statements, and Mr. Dockery is very firmly convined that the report arose from the remark, attributed to Postmaster-General Bissell, in sub stance, that he would not give post offices to editors. And Mr. Bissell's statement to Mr. Dockery amounted only to this: That he would not give fourth class postmasterships to men who could not give their whole atten tion to the work of the office, and this rule would apply to every body, includ ing editors, who would not relinquish their other business whIle transacting that of the government. Several newspaper men were among those who called at the White House this morning in the interest of their applications. One of these was Charles SH. T. Ta.ylor, of Kansas City, Kansas, a colored mian who edits a newspaper. He came with Senator Martin, who spoke a good word for his candidacy for Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. THE TAX RETURNs. County Auditors Occupy a Very Delicate Position under the Recent Law. [Special to Sunday News.] COcLUMA, March 11.-The county auditors will soon have to ask them selves what they can do to satisfy the Comptroller-General and the taxpay ers. The county boards of equalization will meet next week and after they have taken action on the tax returns the auditors will have a say as final judges. Heretofore the action of the county boards has been accepted as conclusive, but now there seems to be a disposition to have the auditors act independently and raise assessments wherever it is thought proper to do so. In Richland County the township board of assessors has just recomlmended to the county auditor that the bank returns be made upon a basis of two thirds of thbe value of the stock as re turned. This idea will not exactly suit the Comiptroller's office, and the same old tight will be renewed. THFY WILL ALL sTAY IN. Re.publean (:iticia With Four Y.-ar Comn missio:r t, Serve Their Termus.

This is the de:ermina,:tioin to which the President has t-ome, anid he has an nounced it to his friends. In taking his step he rn-turn's to the practice which he follojwedl eight years ago, but which was really inaugurated pre viously by President Hayes. It wa observed with considerable fidelity hy President Harrison, and will now be put into strict executio . The rule will not apply, of course, to foreign abpointments nor to positions in the departments. Its en'orcemenit will enable the President to consider the question of appointments as vacan cies eceur, and will relieve him of the crush which he would necessarily have to endure if he undertook to tmake a complete change in the first year of his Talbert ve-rsuts Til:man [Special to News anni Courier.] CIrtma, M-irt-h 12 -During the last (campaignl t-re was a great de..l siid ab'out d1is:tT if -m int the Till man ranks. It is not worth while to start out wtith t he same sotni so soon. but it c an' het saidi th:st t he Tilltman ranks arc Ithraenedt with itmportant losses While in Washmjigton there was talk of at least two or three very imnportant a nd signi fi--ant Congressinal changes. Thee seemw to be an idea th-,t the Ad miistrti'on f'-rces will not present the sane front during the next runmpaign. Personal atrairs, perhaps, ough t to have no place in olities, b,ut as a result of the present political situation in the State there seems to exist rather straind relations between two of the Tillmaui:e "leaders." Notwithstanding tbe close personal relationship of the parties there does not appear to t-e any immediate jitentio)n of healing what seemls to be an open breach. Just in this connection it might be said that the impression that Congressman Tal bert is to run for United States Senator is gaining ground every day. It is reported that Mr. Talbert and some of his friends held a conference here last week about the matter. Mr. Talbert is not saying anything about the rumor at present, but it is certain that he is i not "pulling with" Governor Tillman nnd his friends. IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH. The Alliance has no Notion of a Sectional Division. [Special to Sunday News.] COLUMBIA, March 11.-The sugges tion that the Southern and Western branches of the Farmers' Alliance should be run as distinct organizations does not seeni to have very many friends in this neighborhood among Alliance men. In the first place they think such a scheme altogether improb able and far less desirable. The idea is "pooh-poobed" by the Alliance men and they insist that the plau is being almost entirely advocated by disgrun tied Alliance men, who have not re-_ ceived the political preferment they imagined would accompany their lead ership in the Alliance. Editor Bowden, who Is at the head of the official organ of the movement, said that none of the friends of the Alliance were favorable to any division. %ather than contract there is a dispos,.ion to expand, and there is now common talk of having one grand agricultural organization out of the three Orders. The Husban dry, the National Alliance and the Farmers' Alliance were ail liable to unite their fortunes, and Mr. Bowden thought that the talk of a division was entirely unwarranted. Col. Darcy P. Duncan, the national secretary of the Alliance said that the rumor was entirely without foundation. He has recently been in consultation with prominent leaders and nothing was said about any separation of the Western and Southern Alliances. He thought that the entire trouble was being made by dissatisfied members of the Alliance. Secretary Duncan has not actively taken charge of the secretaryship of the Alliance. His work will hardly begin before the 1st of April. He has made all arrangements for the clerical force he will employ. The headquar ters will probably be in the Agricultu ral Hall building. Just about this time it is ncedless to say that there is very little activity in the Illiance, as this is not the time for campaigning. The Alliance Exchange is said to be doing a verygood business. JUGGLING WITH JUSTICE. Wife Murderer Lavelle's New Lease of Life. His Lawyer's Big "Pull" With the Executive. [Special to The State.] CHARLESTON, S C., March 10.-The Governor's prompt response to wife murderer Lavelle's counsel, young Mr. Bissell, was somewhat of a shock to the people, but was not so much of a surprise after all. it was well known that Mr. Bieqell had a "pull" with the Governor, being one of the original -one gallus boys" in Charleston, and the able and artistic manner in which Mr. Bissell has jug gled with justice for thr-- years, the peculiar manner in which that remit titur was lost out of the court house, and Mr. Bissell's sudden abandonment of his fifth appeal on Thursday, led the public to expect something of the kind. The Governor is greater than the courts of the land, and Mr. Bissell, having at last exhaupted the courts, has worked the mailed hand that strangled the octopus. Lavelle evi dently had no idea of being hanged tc day. He took the matter quite coolly. THE FIEsT SOUTH CARGLINIAN. Hampton Heads the List of Federal Ap pointments from this State. [Special to News and Courier.] WVAsHINGTON, March 10.-General Wade Hampton will probably .be the first South Carolinian to receive an appointment under the p resent Admin istration. It is reported to-night that a delegation of Nebraska and Iowa Con gressmen called upon President Cleve land to urge the appointment of Mr. T. H. Morrison, of Nebraska, as comnmis sioner of Railroads. It is said that the President informied the delegation that he had already decided to appoint an old and distinguished Democrat to that position. He then named General rampton. The delegation withdrew the application of Mr. Morrison, and it is understood he will be suggested for some other place. When I met Gen. Hampton at his hotel this afternoon e did not know anything definite on the subject, but he was aware that some of his friends had spoken to the President in his behalf. B. M. L.2 A Proposed Compromise. The Greenville News and the Colum bia Journal seem inclined to favor a rompromise in State politics next year'. If they really mean busine:s they may get considerable help. A nyway, how would the following mixed ticket suit our contemporaries? For Governor-J. E. Tindal of Claren don. For Lieutenant Governor-W. H. Wallace of New berry. For Secretary of State-W. H.

I am receiving and opening up daily the largest and handsomest line of Spring Clothing, Hats and Gents' Furnishings, and staple patterns in Gent$ and Boys' Clothina. Having made a specialty of this branch of busi ness for more than twenty years past, and not handling stock, I can safely assert that I am better equipped to serve you in this line than any other house in this State. There is 'another item which is worthy your careful con sideration, and that is that I always endeavor to give you a dollar's worth for a dollar, and when you see my line of suits at $7.50 $10.50 $12.50 and $15 you will wonder how they can be sold E at such figures. It is easily explained. Doing the largest Clothing business of any house in South tarolina I am en abled to buy my stock at a closer mar gin than smaller houses, and when you make your purchases from me you get the benefit of it. If you are not already one of my cus tomers, who are numerous and located in every portion of South Carolina, I want to make one of you, and guaran- f tee satisfaction and prompt attention. r I make a specialty of Ext ra S'ze, Stout and Slim suite, and keep a full line of them in stock. If you cannot visit Columbia, write me for what you want, and your crder will receive prompt attention. li. L. KINARD,' 120 MAIN STREET, Cluzmibia, S. C.
