WEM ESDH. ERCH .19. ISM1. ELBERT H. AULL, EIToI. ELBERT H. AULL, Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSE AL, .NEWBERRY, S. C. GETTING READY. Everything is being put in readiness for the great liquor business in which the State is to engage after July 1. And in the meantime the liquor men are getting ready to test the new law before the courts. On last Tuesday the Governor ap pointed the new State Dispenser. The fortunate, or unfortunate man, ac cordingly as you look at it, is Mr. D. B. Traxler, of Timmonsville, in Darlington County. He is a native of Charleston County and has been a depot agent for several years, and alsc a merchant, and at one time Treaeurer of Darlington County. He is said tc be a first-rate man, and no doubt will make an efficient official. The new law makes quite a numbei of new officers, but then it is expected that the profits from the liquor busi necs will not only pay them, but will also turn a good little snug sum intc the State Treasury. If this business is successful, there is no reason why the State should not engage in the general merchandise business, and als< in farming and. milling, and then may be we would reach the dream of Ed ward Bellamy, waen the governmeL will attend to e.-eything and every body will have a government office and after a few years of faithful ser. vice be retired on a pension. That will be a glorious time. Everybody wants office, and the few exceptions only prove the rule. But the Prohibitionists say the3 want the new law rigidly enforced, and if it is doue the prolits from the business will not be large. If it is to go into effect, as it is, ol course it should be observed, and if il prove a good and a wise law, we shal: be glad to, and will, most heartily commend it. It has created a gooc deal of curiosity. People from all see ,tions of the country are making in quiries about it and are anxious tQ know its practical results after put in operakAon. Senator Irby is reported to have said that he would oppose the confirmation by the Senate of Mr. Gonzales, if he should be appointed to any foreign mission. He also is reported to have said that he would favor Mr. Gonzales as minister to Hades, or words to that effect. This is too bad. Our Senator must have thought that he was still in South Carolina, conducting a Tillman campaign. He certainly made use ol this language in an unguarded moment. We had hoped that Senator Irby would in some measure, at least, rise to the dignity of the position given him, but it seems that our hopes are to be in vain. He that bridleth his tongue is greater than an army with banners. If Mr. Ganzales is incompetent, then Mr. Irby should try to keep the Presi dent from appointing him, but thaf does not seem to be the ground for the opposition of Mr. Irby. The Herald and News hopes Mr. Gonzales will get an appointment, foi we believe he isemminen\tly fitted. C. F. Caughman and B. F. Perry, -ol the reform movement, have lit out ol that grand movement and are now jronounced Butler men. Some of oui esteemed cotemporaries are disposed tc be facetious about the conversion 01 these two greet apostles of reform. Well, The Herald and News has nevel had a very high admiration for eithez of the gentlemen in question, but hovn in the world can the conservatives evei expect to win, unless they receive re cruits from somewhere? We tried il for two years and the Tillmanites oul voted us on both occasions, and if we expect to beat them the next time we must get some more votes. But as tc these two recruits, they are only com ing over because they think there is more hope of Federal office by so doing. Their plan evidently is to fall on the tree that has the fruit. The Herald and News of course sec ondsthe suggestion to hold a celebration in honor of the birth of Judge O'Neall We are glad the citizens have taken hold of the matter and we are anxious to see the event a great success. We ho'pe to see a large number of citizens here from the country on that day. Let everybody turn out and make the day a grand success. But every one ought to buy a copy of the "Annals." That would be a good way to celebrate the event. Gov. Tillman has respited the sen tence of Wade Haines, the negro who was charged with the m arder of Miss Hornsby near Columbia some time ago. It is the opinion of many people in and around Columbia that the boy is inno cent. The respite is only for thirty days. We are of the opinion from all we have been able to hear that the boy is not guilty. Mr. McDonald Furman. as the sug ' gester of centennials, should be invited to the O'Neall Centennial as tbe guest of Newberry. He suggested the Co lumbia Centennial that was held two years ago. The committee has ex tended him a special invjtation. The fight still goes on betwcen the factions in this State over the distribu tion of the Federal patronage. As yet no appointments have been made for this State. The new factory labor law will go into eff'ect on Saturday. Thbe mills will of course observ-e the law and have made preparations to that end. We think Gov. Tillmnan eminently correct in asking Mr. Cal. Caughman to come home or resign his position as fish commissioner. The O'Neall Centennial is to be a County affair, and the people from the country are especially invited to be IN HONOR OF O'NEALL. The CiAtzens Take up the Suggestion-A Celebration to be Held on Monday. 10th of April. One hundred years ago on Wednes day, the 10th day of April, 1-93,-John Belton O'Neall was born about half a mile below Bobo's mill, on Bush river. The 10th of April comes this year on Monday. The suggestion by Mr. McDonald Furman that the event be appropriate ly celebrated, has been taken hold of by the citizens of Newberry. A conference of the Sunday-school superintendents was held, and they concluded to refer the matter to the citizens. Consequently a meeting was held in the opera house on Monday night to take such steps as may have been thought proper for the observance of the event. Dr. Pelham nominated Judge Pope for chairman and Mr. Jno. S. Carwile for secretary of the meeting. Judge Pope stated the purpose of the meeting and referred to Mr. Furman's letter published last week in the Ob server. The first idea he said, was to ask the Sunday-schools to take iarge of the matter, but upon reflection it was felt that the sphere of the labors of Judge O'Neall were so broad and far reaching that it would not be proper to confine the observance of the event to such narrow limits. The time is short in which to act and what is done must be done quickly. This distinguished son of Newberry was born and bred here on New berry soil. His life was spent here and w,. one continuous labor of love de voted to this people. He was a devoted believer in the Christian religion. The first Bible society organized in this part of the State was in Newberry and he was its first president. He was the leading spirit in all internal improve ments and through his efforts largely was the Columbia and Greenville rail road built, and for many years he was its president. He was the first judge elected from Newberry, and in that position he reflected honor upon his people. He died as he had lived, a true and devoted son of Newberry. His Annals of Newberry gave to the people a desire to know more of their ancestry and of the history of their county, and it is a happy coincidence that the book has been now reprinted in a Newberry office and is just now on this centennial occasion ready for deliv ery, and it should be on the table of every household throughout this coun ty. His Bench and Bar of South Caro lina is a book of transcendent value. Judge Pope said he was no hero worshiper, but it was right and proper to preserve the spir't which animated O'Neall in upholding every interest connected with the coun try and for the country's good. Judge Pope then declared the meet ing ready for business. Dr. Pelham said he had listened with pleasure to the remarks of the chair man. As one of the citizens of the town by adoption he heartily joined in doing honor to Judge O'Neall. We should memoralize Judge O'Neall on this centennial of his birth. He belongs to a glorious past and was one of the old South Carolina gentlemnen I have been taught to honor hfim. I have often heard him spoken of by mzy own lamented father as one of Datuire's no blemen. I hope we will do some thing worthy of the event we intend to celebrate. I hope it will be an occasion memorable in years to come. Mr. Schnmpert said he would be in full sympathy with anything that might be done, but the time was short and prompt action was necessary. Prof. Evans moved that a committee be appointed to arrange a programme. Mr. Hunt said the time was so short that he thought it would be well for the meeting to decide upon the pro-: gramme. He thought that Judge O'Neall's reputation belonged to the county and the celebration should be a county affair. There should be speak ers who would take up the different phases of his character-as a temper ance worker-a Christian-and as a judge and lawyer. Mr. Schumpert thought we ought first resolve to celebrate and that the celebration be held in the opera house. Mr. Cromer moved that the chair man of the meeting be chairman of the committee on programme. Mr. Duncan thought, as Mr. Hunt, that tbere should be several speakers to discuss the different phases of the character of Judge O'Neall as he was a many sided man. Dr. Peiham moved that public announcement be given of the meeting, and that the invitation be extended through the county papers for the peo pie of the county to attend, and the public generally was also invited. The chair announced the following committee on arrangemen:s: Y. J. Pope, chairman; 0. L. Schumpert, Geo. S. Mower, Geo. B. Cromer, WV. E. Pel ham, WV. H. Hunt, Jr., J. H. McIntosh. A resolution was also passed request ing the business houses to close during the exercises. The celebration will be held in the day time in the operabhouse on Monday, A pril10. THE COMMITTEE MEETS. Immediately after the adjournment of the meeting the committee held a meeting and decidtd to invite three4 speakers for the occasion. It was also decided to invite-specially the follow ing: The president and directors of the C. and G. Railroad:; and the superin t- udent of the road. The surviving members of Judge O'Neall's family. The executive and other State officers, and the Speaker of the House of Rep resentatives. Tbe State bar association. The judges of the Supreme and Circuit courts. Mr. John A. Chapman and I Mr. McDonald Furman. Another meet ing of the committee will be held on Thursday afternoon at half past six o'clock. Arrangements will also be made to have a band of music for the occasion. The speakers who will bet invited will be asked to wire their ac-t ceptance, and until that is done the committee does not care to have the names of the gentlemen published. They are eminent men and if they ac cept the invita:Cons will make the occa sion one long to be remembered. Judge Pope in speaking of Judge, ~Neall referred to his interest in the ag- i V -icultural society that had its building tnd grounds in the old haleyon grove, )pon which now stand the residences )f 'Mr. A. 31. and J. M. Bowers, on 3oundary street, just beyond the rail -oad bridge. The grounds belonged to he Newberry Academy, and Newber -y, from the year 1840, had her fairs here, to the breaking out of the war. fudge O'Neall was the first, only and ast president, and in fact, the founder >f the organization. In 18.56 he deter nined to resign but was not permitted o do so. The following was sent him, igned by a number of citizens: "With leep regret we have learned your inten ion of resigning the Presidency of the ociety. In the fulness of our hearts we would most respectfully entreat you iot to do so." And he did not. The ast meeting of the society was held on he 21st and -2ud of July, 1859. James S. Lipscomb delivered the anniversary Lddress. In 1860 eftorts were made to raise noney and buy grounds, but the war .sme on and brought these efforts to a ,lose. This is somewhat off the subject md the reader can find all this infor nation in the Annals at page 732. Senator Irby has secured an ap )ointment for ex-Judge C. P. Town iend in the Treasury Department at Washington. Judge Townsend is a Republican and was a Judge during :he radical rule in this State. It is ;aid that probably the appointment will be withdrawn. It does look ta us hat Senator Irby could have found a Democrat upon whom to bestow his avors. But we must remember these Lre record breaking times and we 3ever know what to expect next. Mr. N. B. Dial, of Laurens, who was !xpecting to be appointed consul to Eavre, France, has met with disap >ointment. Mr. C. W. Chancellor, of Slaryland, has received the plum. It s always thus ip politics. We are ,nore likely to be disappointed than to ye appointed. There is no abatement in the num :er of applicants for positions under he Federal government. It is a great >ity that there is not a government >ffice for every citizen. Let everybody buy a copy of the Annals before the Centennial, or on hat day, as a souvenir of the occasion. Maj. W. T. Gary has been appointed Jnited States District Attorney for the 3outhern District of Georgia. Mr. Cal Caughman has left Wash ngton, and is coming ho:ne to look Ster the little fishes down on the coast. STRAIT, LATIMER AND MCLAURIN. rhey Say They are Good Democrats Now -"Their Pictures Turned to the Wall and Third Party Marked Across their Names." [Special to The News and Courier.] WASHINGTON, March 2.-A sensa ion occurred here to-day in the ranks >f the Tillman faction of the South 3arolina colony when it was discov ~red that Congressmen-elect Strait, atimer and McLaurin are blacklisted .t the postoffice department.. Messrs. strait and Latimer came here in re ponse to a telegram from Senator Irby x attend a conference of the delegation elative to the distribution of Federal atronage in the State. A. SURPRISE FOR THE DOUBLE FACES. This morning Messrs. Strait and Latimer visited the postoffice depart ent and called upon "Headsman" ifaxwell, who presides over the fourth ssistants. When they endeavored to liscuss postal affairs in their districts :hey were mortified and surprised, after :onversing with Mr. Maxwell, to find 'their pictures turned to the wall and ['hird party marked across their 2ames." In other words they were yack-listed as not being Democrats md, therefore, not entitled to name the orth-class postmasters in their respec ive districts. Mr. McLauin is also in he same boat. APPEALING TO THE MACHINE. They went immediately to the Capi ol and consulted Senator Irby, who ecompanied them back to the post ffice department as soon as the Senate djourned. Sen. Irby said to Mr. Max well that be appeared there ais chairman f the State Democracy, and not as a United States Senator, to say in behalf >f these gentlemen. Messrs. Strait, Latimer and McLaurin, that they have sever been other than loyal and con istent D)emocrats. They were the 2ominees of the Lemoeratic primaries mud were elected by the Democratic arty on thesame ticket with the Cleve and electors', anid anty proscription would be indiun;antly resented by him elf and the otrgan:ized Democracy of Bouth Carolina. SUR.PRISE1I) AT IUimY'S CHEEK. Gen. Maixwell :emned surpri.od at bis statement. ati invited Senator [rby to a conference 4With Postmaster 3eneral Bissell. The same argument was repeated to) Mr. Bissell, who said :at after the present rush is over the natter would be given full and careful onsideration, and that justice would 3e accorded these Representatives. WHISTLING TO KEEP HIS COURAGE UP. Senator Irby said he knew from what Mr. Bissell said that 3Messrs. trait, Latimner and McLaurin will be :reated and recognized as other Demo-I ratic Congressmen. Upon being asked f he knew who had caused this "black isting," Senator Irby replied in the firmative, but added that his infor ation was confidential and he was lot at liberty to disclose it. EHE MAN WHO DENOUNCED CLEVE LAND AS A TOOL OF WALL STREET. Congressman Latimer, who was pres ~nt during the interview, said he un lerstood tt.Iat the custom has prevailed n the departments of allowing ex .ongressmen, deteated by Republicans mnder a Democrat ic Admiinistiation, o dispense the Federal patronage in heir respective districts. He said be would not submit to any such rule >eing appliedi to him in the interest of he gentlemtan whom he bad defeated. Jessrs. Irbyv and Latimer said they do it blame Mr. Maxwell or the Admin strat ion, but they dei'ounce it as "a neakinag, dirty trick" of some one. [hey declare it is the greatest insult hat has ever been offered to the Re orm element in South Carolina, and t will be resented by their, people at he proper time. ASHAMED OF TH EIR PAST. Both Latimer and Strait denounce he charge that they are Third Party cen as absolutely false, as they claim hat it is contradicted by every vote ey have cast and every speech they ave delivered. They say they have eer voted anything but the Demo ratic ticket. wILL MR. MLRBAY BE INVITED? The conference of the delegation has ot yet been held owing to the ab-. ence of two members. Senator Irby ays fienator Butler and Mr. Brawley, di not be invited to the conference. a they have declined to be bound by ta action. R. M. I. CAROLINA AT THE CAPITOL. Tho Palmetto Contingency Tramping From Capitol to Departments-Office Seek ers Getting Restless-All Kinds of Candidates for All Sorts of Places -Judge Townsend Would Like to, but Probably Will Not. LSpecial to Greenville News.] WASHINGTON, D. C., March 23-The Senate having adjourned until Mon day, the Palmetto contingency have let up on their representatives and Sena tors and have been devoting their attentions to the different departments for the past two days. As to what suc eess it remains to be seen. Some of them, however, seem to be getting rather impatient and restless over the situa tion. Gen. V. W. Humphries, of Ander son, an applicant for the United States marshalship, W. M. Gibbes, who wants to be postmaster at Union, Major E. B. Murray, of Anderson,:who is here on private business, and Messrs. T. J. Earle, of Greenville, C. B. Lamar, of Aiken, W. 0. Bradley, of Abbeville, L. D. Bass, W. W. Culbreath and WV. H. Ingerman, of Sumter, are among the latest arrivals here. Representative Shell returned here last night. He states that the report of Col. Wm. Wallace's appointment as postmaster at Columbia is without foundation. He furthermore said the office would not be vacant for a year hence, and he was not in favor of a primary astad been stated. He de clined to state whom he favored for the place. He said he had called at the post office department to-day and had J. P. Little, of Clinton, S. C., appointed, vice Kranshaw removed, as the latter lived in Pickens County. Gen. J. H. Earle's friends say the report that he would return here i3 not true. There is nothing new in regard to the district attorne. 's race. B. F. Perry seems to hare the lead for enllector of internal revenue and the man that beats him will have to put in some strong work. He is an in defatigable worker and is leaving nothing undone where work is re quired. General Hampton has been confined to his room for a day or two but is about now and will be out to-day. The report that C. P. Townsend had been appointed to a place in the inte rior department is true, but his com mission has not yet been issued and the probabilities are it will not be. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 25. There are on fire in the treasury depart ment nearly one hundred-applications for appointment as chiefs of division. So far, no appointments in this class have been made. Many of the appli cants have been surprised to learn that even this class of positions are within the civil service rules, or partially so. All the alleged gossip, indications and predictions regarding South Caro lina affairs sent from here are based on the hopes of being, more than on any thing else. I have tried to study the facts of the situation without bias and the result of all I can learn is as follows: The president is to divide the Federal offices between the factions, but will probably postpone action until the re presentatives of the factions agree on some basis of division, or until he has time to inform himself thoroughly and to devise a plan of his own. There is one thing that seems rea sonably certain. It is likely that the proposition to be submitted to him will t>e to give the collectorship to some Tillmanite of moderate views, whose conduct has not been so aggressive as to arouse violent antagonism, while the marshalship and district attorneyship will go to anti-Tillman men of corres ponding position. Senator Butler will urge the appoint ment of B.- F. Perry as collector and the Tillman people will fight, as will many conservatives. This fight will cause some confusion of factional lines. Some conservatives will back Tillman in his fight against Perry and some Till man men will.back Butler in his fight for Perry. Between the two forces Mr. Perry will probably miss connection. The same conditions duly apply to General Earle and the dsstrict attor neyship- and the result will probably be that some Tillman people and some conservatives favor Earle. The Butler people and a few Tillmjan men will op pose him and there are embarrassments on both sides. The Tillman people will be in a posi to claim credit for the defeat of Perry, to whom so many conservatives vio lently objected. Butler will be in shape to claim credit for the defeat of General Earle, who also is likewise strongly opposed by many conserva tives. There is the further fact to be remembered, that the tendency of the situation, as far as General Earle is concerned, is to put himself in shape to be a formidable compromise candidate for the Senatorshuip or governorship. Postmaster General Bissell said yes terday in discussing tbe conditions in New York and South Carolina that the Cleveland men could afford to be magnanimous in thbe treatment of their former opponents, and should devote their attentiob to tryi.g ,to unite the factions and to r.ite the party. Gen. XV. H. Kumphreys, of Ander Ch&ales E. Pease Of Connersille, Ind. Hip Disease A Boy's Terrible Experience Civen Up by Physicians Considered a Con firmed Cripple "For the benefit of other sufferers we state the case of our boy, who was taken with hlp disease five years ago, when three years old. The trouble began wth stiffness and severe pain in his knee, which suddenly went to his hip. The doctor pronounced It a genuine case of hip disease, and said if he lived he would Always be a Cripple. Imagine our feelings: Charlie was entirely helpless. When we went to his bed to move or turn him for rest, he would scream as though we were murdering him. Alter two.months, I happened to read of a similar case cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla. It is hardly necessar to say that 1 pulled for a drua store and got a bt tie. This was in A pil. We gave It to our boy. and In July several places on his hip gathered and broke. When we had taken a bottle and a half of the Sarsaparilla we saw that his general Health Was improving. His color was better. In fact he was better in every way. The sores entirely healed up. We got 1dm crutches and he walked with them for nearly two years. He grew s r'nger, and now for two years has had no soies, and has not used acrutch for over ayear. He limps alittle Hood's =Cures but Is in the best of health, goes to school, runs and plays just as lively as any of the boys; he walks over half a mile to Sunday school and return every sunday.

Ex-Lieutenant Governor Mauld will leave here for New York to-m( row. Mr. Dial is not confident of t Havre consulship, but is very hopef and apparently with good reason, he has a powerful backing from ; sides. Mr. Caldwell, of Newberry, fin stumps in his path for the diplomal appointment. There are about for candidates from other States for t same position. Senator Butler has withdrawn 1 endorsement from Ex-Judge Tow send, having signed his papers und the impression that it was Attorn General Townsend who was appi ing. Representative Shell and Major B.
