WEDIESDIY, APRIL 5. 183. ELBERT. IL AULL, EDITOF. ELBERT H. AULL, Proprietors. WM.P. HOUSEAL, o NEWBERRY, S. C. A REMARKABLE DOCUMENT. The letter of our "Reform" Congress men -to the President is, in our opin ion, a rather remarkable document They speak of the unfortunate saluta tions in this State as being divided int what is known as "Reform" and anti "Reform," and they, of course, repre sent the "Reform" side. The grea mass of those who oppose 11r. Tillmar have never opposed any reform tha was reform. This thing of politician talking about reform is generally most ly claptrap with which to entrap an( ensnare the unsuspecting voter. An( then the opponents of Mr. Tillmax have been designated as "anti-Refor mers." Then- they go to work and select i slate from which Mr. Cleveland is t< make his appointments for South Car olina, and fall back on their dignit and say he can accept their recommen dations or let them alone as he chooses This he will be very likely to do. But they that represent three fifths of the Democrats of Soutl Carolina and want an equitabli and mathematical division of thi offices on that basis. It woulk be interesting if these Reformer, would tell Mr. Cleveland just hov they distribute the patronage unde: the State government-if they mak< an equitable and mathematical divis ion of the offices at their disposal, or i it is considered a sine qua non for on to secure an appointment under Mr Tillman-it matter. not how insignifi cant-that he must have been a Till manite in the primary. What repre sentation has the two-fifths in the lis of State appointments? These Reformers certainly expee Mr. Cleveland to be more liberal an( more statesmanlike and more forgivinj than they have ever been. -And ni doubt their presumption is well found ed. In this State, support in thi primary, however warm and hearty did not coust for much. The Herald and News cares very li tle about this contest. AWe want to se good and efficient men appointed t office. We think there can be enougl such found to fill the offices. But ii this as in other matters, we like to se people treat other people in some sor as they would to be treated by othe people. The editor is "cussed" if he does ani "cussed" if he doesn't. We have got ten used to that, and follow the rul, we laid down in the beginning, to do a near as we know bow what we conceiv' to be our duty, and let the cor sequence take care of themselves. The Washington correspondent c the Atlanta Constitution writes hi paper as follows: "President Clevelan< has announced that in States wher there happen to be two factions in th Democratic party, or where the delega tion is divided, he will recogniz neither faction to the exclusion of th other. He will, in such cases, conside the names presented for the offices an< select the applicant he believes to b the best fittGd. This rule will be al: * ~ plied in the South Carolhna cases. This same correspondent says that M: Cleveland will take up the South Carc lina cases this week and that the in: pression prevails in Washington tha Senator Irby and his fact'on will ge -but little. We only give this to hav -some other rumor than what is fount in our own home papers, and to sho' that the South Carolina fight is becomi ing famous outside of our own State. It is a very sad thing to us to see sucl ~a wrangle by oar own people over: few federal offices. It is rather humi. iating. If Mr. Cleveland would tak our advice it would be to pay no grea heed to either faction but rather to ge men who were not pressing thei claims so vigorously for the plums, bu who at the same time were true an: tried and good Democrats, and we fei that there are a few such left in thi old State. In our opinion it will be a mistakei Mr. Cleveland should, in selecting hi appointments in South Carolina, selec men from either faction who belong t< the extreme wing of eitber one of thj parties. Let us have conservative men fo the various offices to t'e filled. Ther are plenty of such men in South Carc lina who will make good and efflicien officers. Our "reform" members of Congres have made a big fuss because somebody it is claimed, has had them put on th black list. They denounce it as a dirt; trick. Now it seems that Gov. Till man and Senator Irby have also en gaged in the black list business. The; wrote a confidential letter to the Presi 'dent and told him that they did no( want certain men appointed to office Wonder if they will denounce this as; dirty trick also. THE WAY OF THE WORLD. This wvorld is made up of all sorts people. As a rule, however, they ha~ a similarity in one thing. Everyon likes to be on the side that wins th plaudits of the multitude, and thati with the crowd. If a man is successful, it matters no what he engages in, men are readyt give him a helpinrg hand and to prais his efforts. We like to help a man u: the hill who is making good progress and will probably make the summi easily without our assistance. But le him start dovwn, let reverses of fo'rtuni overtake him, and instead of tryingt help him regain his feet, we are rqd; to give him a shove down, althoug) he may have made a much more hon est effort to go in the direction of suc cess than the man we are readyt help and who does not need it. "All of us are ready to cast paim and flowers in the path of our success ful fellow-man and to add our voice to popular shouts of the somethin very lik hnonnnna with which ih crowds greet growing power. We de light to join triumphs and to identify ourselves with achievement while we shun consistently participation in the struggle and toil and sacrifice-by which triumph has been secured or achieve ment made." - We delight to rush along with the crowd and share the success when it costs us no labor or suffering or pain. But how much better and more noble it is to merit success by honest effort and labor, even though the world does not accord it to you, than to rush along with the giddy crowd and have the applause of the world as the world goes. A RULE. The Observer gives The Herald and News a rather backhanded lick for a cer'.ain local mention we made last week, and then proceeds to mention the same facts. But as the Observer says, that is a matter every paper must decide for itself, and it is often a very difficult thing to do. We want no dis cussion of the present case now, and will have none. What we say must be considered as divorced entirely from it. The Observer lays down a rule which we want simply to quote, and which we respectful1y submit our contempo rary does not follow. Here it is: "We make it a rule not to mention the mis deeds or shortcomings of private indi vidua~, except when such things be come public property through the me dium of prosecution in the courts; for until that time we regard them as ex clusively the affairs of the parties con cerned." The files of our contempo rary will show that this rule is more observed in the breach than in any other way. Under this rule our con r temporary could not mention the kill ing of a man, the stealing of - a horse; the robbery of a bank, or any other misdeed of a private individual until it "Ilecomes public property through the medium of prosecution in the courts." The Herald and News has never be lieved in, nor practiced the rule of pub t lishing details of crime. We think there is entirely too much of that sort t of thing for the good health of public and private morals. But we try not to lay down a rule that we apply in one case and not in another that has a D similar state of facts. President Cleveland has appointed Mr. T. F. Bayard, of Delaware, as am bassador to Great Britain. He is the first to have the title of ambassador e fo from this country. We commend the President in making this appointment Gov. Tillman has gone West to in e vestigate the liquor business prepara t tory to the opening of the State bar r room. Editor Hemphill, of the News and Courier, says that he does not want, has not asked for, and would not accept eany office under the government. Thai s ought to sett'e that question. SH. W. J. HAM ON THE DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTEATION. Mr. H. W. J. Bam, of Georgia, who was such an effective worker during the last campaign for Democracy, not eonly in Georgia but throughout the ecountry, delivers himself as follows to ea reporter for the Atlanta Constitution eon the outlook and work for the newl eDemocratic Administration: e "What of the outlook of the new r administration? 3 "Too early to tell yet, my boy. Start e ing off' fairly well, but there is serious work ahead of the Democratic party in the next four years. "Will they be equal to the emergen e. "Yes; I hope and believe so, but . there are things of more importance than which one of several democrats t shall hold the offices. We have all the t branches of the government, the re e sponsibility is upon us. The people have commissioned the Democratic Sparty to make a change, and as Sim .Brazeal said-when his wife fell in the -well, 'something's got to he done and that darn quick.' " S"You think the democracy is safe for a long lease of power?" S"That depends. That's what I am -talking about. We had widespread dis e content last year. We held our people tin line in the South by pointing out to them that the only hope of success was t in standing by the democracy, an r swered their objections to the past by t pointing out that we had never been for years wholly in power. That an swer will not do four years from now. hWe will be judged by works and not S promises. JThe people want the tariff reduced, the money question settled, silver restored to its rightful place, the pension robbery stopped, and the s government put on an economical basis, t and nothing less will satisfy them. a "If the democrats will get together, compromise differences of opinion, emake mutual concessions, and go in for genuine and far-reaching reform in r the interest of the common people, all e will be well, and our seat in the saddle is firm. If they do not-well, I do not want to tos around and have to under t take the explanation of the tbings]I told the boys in the last campaign that's all." s Mr. Ham is right. If Democracy is ,to be triumphant for years to come, e Democrats must get together and do something. In order to get together -there must be mutual concession~s all - around. 7There is a great opportunity before . the Democracy. It is now left for t them to meet the issues and do some thing for the people and stop wran a gling over who is to fill the offices. That is a matter of minor importance compared with the great work of re form that the people expect at the hands of the Democratic Ad ministra e tion. There is no excuse. They havt all branches of the national govern ment and the opportunity is given sthem. *Will they seize and improvE it? That is the question. Competitive Examination. e There will be a competitive examina P tion held at Anderson C. H., S. C., in , the School Commissioner's office or t such place as the examining Board t niay select on Saturday, June 2d, 1893, heginning at 9 a. mn., for an appoint e ment to a cadetship at WVest Point o Military Academy for the 3d Congres sional District. Applicants must be not under 17 years old, nor over 22, and pass an examination of the common -English branches and must havE -knowledge of elementary algebra anc o geometry and pass the required physi cal examination. These gentlemen will constitute the examining board: Prof s W. T. Lander, Wulliamston Female - College, Lieutenant T. Q. Donaldson, U. S. A., Hon. J. E. Breazeale, and School Commirsioner D. H.

' -I by The "Reform" Senator and the "Reform" it i Congressmea Write the President kee a Letter. . ver dul [Special to The Register.1 coa WASHINGTON, March 31.-The fol- I cha lowing communication has been sent mi" by the South Carolina delegation to l President Cleveland. Mr. President: You are aware of the cat unfortunate factional division in the Le Democratic party in South Carolina. I ve It did notarise by reason of any nation- las al issue, but was the result of an effort looking to the reformation of the local government of that State. The fac tions are known as "Reform" and Tb "anti-Reform." The undersigned members of Con gress represent what is known in South Carolina as the Reform element in local politics., We have made every effort consonant with- the dignity of the posi tions we hold in fairness and justice to equitably divide the patronage of our pol State in a delegation meeting, but lin failed on account of the minority re- Ea fusing to co-operate with us in a propo- At sition in line with a eustom that has sa prevailed immemoriably in Congress- No It is now your proviuce to settle this at matter according to what to you seems po good and proper. At a meeting of the si( undersigned we unanimously agreed to 189 recommend Hon. Sampson Pope, of lai( Newberry County, S. C., for the pos- La tion of Marshal; Hon. I. H. McCala Un of Abbeville County, S. C., Collector of One Internal - Revenue; Hon. Joseph H. un, Earle for United States District Attor- air ney; and Hon. A. M. Youmans, of Pre Hampton County, S. C., for Collector onl at the port of Beaufort- Cie All these names belong to our faction, ove except Hon. J. H. Earle, who was the w nominee for Governor of the other fac- ma tion against Governor B. R. Tillman in 1890. His attitude toward our faction since that time has been that of a con- ' servative in the strict sense of the word, hoc and he occupies the peculiar and strik- see ing position of standing between the pu two factions, enjoying the confidence Th and respect of both. We concede this in position to him, because we know that an< his appointment would give universal :dei satisfaction and pleasure to both fac- tri( tions. We honestly believe that we are are entitled to three-fifths of this patronage of on account of the numerical strength me of our faction, it being 60,000 out of the Ch 90,000 white Democratic voters of the or State. chi We hope that you will regard this as gir our final appeal for the recognition of asp the Democrats whom we have the bit honor to represent in our State. With un the hope that this unfortunate division no may be satisfactorily adjusted, we beg Io leave to subscribe ourselves very re- der spectfully your obedient servants. wa [Signed F--J. L. M.

Irby and brethren are sore and some what rattled. Surface indications to the contrary, harmony does not exist in their household. Mr. WV. J. Screven, of Spartanburg, freely reports that when he asked Senator Irby for his endorsement for office, the latter, on * finding that be was a Conservative, per emptorily refused, and when told by c*i Mr. bcreven that Shell had signed his do papers, replied: "Oh, that G- d- C4 cowardly scoundrel will sign any- - thing.

POLITICAL PICK-UPS. South Carolina Situation Practically at a Standstill -Dr. Sampson Pope's Serious Situation-Mistaken for McKinley, Gorman and Napoleon. [From the Columbia Journal.] VASHINGTON, D. C., April 1.-The itical situation, so faras South Caro t is concerned, is at a standstill. rle unquestionably leads for District Dorney, and his appointment is reely more than a question of time. action will be taken, however, for east a month, and it may be post ied for a year. Lathrop's commis i does not expire until May orJune, , and if Cleveland observes the rule I down soon after his inauguration, throp has yet twelve months to serve. less the Conservatives unite on some candidate, and throw to him their wimous support, Earle who is ,ady the expressed choice of the sident, cannot be defeated. The y contingency that arises is whether veland will appoint General Earle r Senator Butler's protest, and ether Butler will oppose his confir ,tion if appointed. THE MARSHALSHIP MUDDLE. 'he question of a marshal is a sort of us-pocus arrangement-now you it and now you don't. It's a Chinese ,zle with several numbers missing. e toss of a penny can decide who is the lead, as between Mauldin, Pope I Donaldson, but this appointment >ends largely on who is made dis bt attorney. The same conditions -prevalent in the fight for collector internal revenue. However, to a n up a tree, it looks like Hunter, of ester. I do not think that Perry is, ver has been, in the .fight with any nee of success. From the very be. ning he has been the worst fought irant for any office. Senator Irby is terly opposed to his appointment ler any condition, as is also Gover , Tillman. He would have fallen g ago but for Senator Butler's won' ful influence with Cleveland and the rm support Perry has received at tier's hands. At best he is tottering I must soon succumb. NSERVATIYE UNION NECESSARY. 'he Conservatives, it seems to me, ve been outgeneraled by their crafty )onents and the Tillmanites have n given a decided advantage in the amble. Instead of uniting their sup t on some single man for every ce. they are woefully divided, while Til.manites, recognizing this mis :e, have acted differently. The ronage will undoubtedly be divided, how and in what proportion is a tty question which no one can tie. save with theories not substan ed by facts. DIPLOMATIC APPOINTMENTS. n the inatter of diplomatic appoint. nts, it seems settled that Caldwell, ewberry, will get a $7,500 mission. itor N. G. Gonzales will likely go as sul-general to some $3,000 consulate, ich, with the fees incident to the e, will make the place worth about 000 per annum. The other consu es have not been decided on, or if y have, no intimation to that effect ibeen given out. BUNCH M'BEE'S POPULARITY. )f all the South Carolinians. who it Washington, Col. V. E. McBee, or unch," as he is familiarly known, is most popular. He invariably stops Chamberl aln's the bon-ton restau iter of Washington, and it is here ,t he bids his friends welcome. Sen rs and diplomats, admirals and gen Is all enjoy seats at his table in the led banquet room of this famous ing rendezvous. His visits to Wash. 'ton are necessarily short, but are sys enjoyed both by his friends and aself. POPE'S PECULIARITIES. )r. Sampson Pope is as much of a Lracter in Washington as be is in ith Carolina. Senator Irby persuaded z when he was here before to cut off care-worn moustache and go clean .ven. He did so and ever since that ful moment he has suffered much oyance. Ohinans have mistaken a for Governor McKinley and Mary. d office seekers have pursued him er the impression that he was Sen r Gormnan.

The statement has been going the rounds of the South Carolina newspa pers that Senator Butler had with drawn his endorsement of Ex-Judge C. P. Townsend on the ground that when he signed it he was under the impression that it was Attorney Gen eral Townsend. Congressman McLaurin desires to make the following statement: "At my request Senator Irby spoke to Sen ator Butler some time ahead to secure his endorsement for Judge Townsend. Senator Irby reported to me that Sen ator Butler spoke very kindly of Judge Townsend and said that he was a col lege mate of his and spoke very favor ably of him. Upon this declaration when the delegation held a meeting I handed Judge Townsend's application to Senator Butler. He signed it and then every member of the delegation but Major Brawley did the same. It never once flashed across my mind that the Senator could make such a mistake that the Attorney General of South Carolina, so recentty elected and involved in such momentous law suits as the State is now engaged in, could be an applicant for a clerkship in the Interior Department. And, further more, I cannot understand the position of the Senator, for after the paper was signed I stepped up to him, and in the hearing of several members of the delegation, I said: 'I thank you, Sen ator, for signing Judge Townsend's application. I appreciatp it, and so will Judge Townsend.' He bowed, and replied in his usual courteous manner." General McLaurin asks, in justice to Judge Townsend, that papers publish ing the notice of Senator Butler's with drawal will also publish this state ment. NOTES FROM EXCELSIOR. Our school observed Good Friday. The day was lovely and our farmers kept on a move. The Mt. Pilgrim school closed on last Friday afternoon. Several acres of land have been planted in corn since our last notes. We are told that cotton planting has been commenced by some of our early birds. Messrs. Kinard and Counts, of the college, spent Easter at their homes here. A voice in the air whispers that the marriage bells will ring out again soon. The writer extends congratulations in advance. Miss Janie Kinard visited relati-es at Prosperity last week. Mrs. Kinard spent a few days of last week with her brother, Mr. M. M. Long, at Gallman commnity. Mr. J. S. Werts has been on a visit to his father, Mr. Wm. Werts, at Mountville. Mumps and whooping cough are re ported in this neight-orhood. We have a recipe for both diseases and don't you forget it. The pretty spring weather has iri proved the condition of the grain crops considerably. Capt. J. A. C. Kibler put his section of public road in good condition last week. We are informed that a thief broke into Mr. John F. Wheeler's barn a few nigh ts ago and carried off a bushel and a half of cow peas. It would seem that all the stealing is for something to eat and this poor rogue was hungry for a mess of cow peas. Prof. J. S. Wheeler has been suffer ing with a throat trouble. Some few of our people attended the Easter services at St. Paul's church last Sunday. It is to be hoped the farmers will not put in an over acreage of cotton this season and bring the price down to-six cents again next fall. Let each farmer raise corn enough to do along with other home supplies and the cot ton market will not run to over pro duction next fall. SIGMA. Buy your Clothing fro m JAMIESON. MRS. S. A. RISER'S.
