WEDIESDI, MIT 10, 1893. ELBERT IL AULL, EDiToR. ELBERT H. AULL, Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL NEWBERRY, S. C. MR. DONALDSON'S REPLY. Two weeks ag.. w published Gover nor Tillman's reasons for his black list of Mr. Donaldson. This week we have Mr. Donaldson's reply, and the Gover nor says he has nothing more to say. The evidence, then is all in, and we presume that even the Cotton Plant will grant the farmers and the alliance men the privilege of making up their minds and forming their own conclu sions on the merits of the controversy. As we stated two weeks ago, Gover nor Tillman's reasons appeared to us to be very poor ones, and were not stated in his usually strong and vigor ous style. for whatever else we may say, the Governor, as a rule, always writes strongly and forcibly. In this case, however, we do not believe that the Governor, when he made the black list expected that he would be called upon to furnish his reasons, and when the demand was made by the Allianae he had to get out of the hole in which he found himself as best he could. His reasons may be satisfactory to the Alli ance, but if they are, all we have to say is that the Alliance is easily satisfied, and would have been satisfied if the Governor had simply said because he wanted to. And such a reason, It seems to us, would have been more satisfactory to Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Donaldson states that he was a Cleveland man before the May Con vention, and it was known to the dele gates when he was made a member of the National Committee, and h a did not, by silence or speech, consciously deceive the Convention. It seems to us that Mr. Donaldson's reply covers the case fully and is a com plete vindication of his eourse, and we believe the people will sustain him. We do not wonder that the Governor has nothing more to say. There is talk of Governor Tillman calling an extra session of the Legisla ture. The Herald and News has no objections to eueh a session being called, for during the dull spring and summer months it would help greatly to relieve the monotony of the situation. Besides, such little things as extra sessions of the Legislature do Lot cost anything, and there is no reason why we should not have them. The liquor law may need a little amendment, and then we may need a little appropriation from the State treasury to keep the State's lawsuits going. By all means let the extra session be called, and the sooner the better. Why not? We learn that the election for Senator to fill the v-acancy caused by the resig nation of Senator Sligh will be held on Tuesday, the lSth of July. The cam paign will be short and sweet, for it will not open until after the 3d of June, for until then the aspirants from among the reformers will not know wiho will be permitted to enter the race. The caucus will have to decide that. The caucus in these latter days of political freedom is the people and rules the bailiwick. And why should it not be -so if the leaders so direct it? There is no longer ring rule in these parts. The Observer nominates Prof. D. B. Johnson, of Columbia, for President of the Woman's College-co be established at Rock Hill by the State. The Herald and News most heartily seconds the nomination. In doing so we feel that we are giving endorsement to one who not only deserves the position by virtue of what he has done for the higher education of woman in the Winthrop .School in Columbia, but one who is emi nently qualified to discharge the duties of the position. Prof. Johnson is not only a most competent educator, but be is a Christian gentleman. The board could scarce find a better man for the place. A conference of the leaders was held in Columbia last week, but what was done has been kept very quiet. The ordinary voter need give himsef no concern about the matter, however, for the leaders will take care of themselves ad all we are expected to do is to plow on and vote and pay the taxes and the leaders will do the rest. So we need give ourselvesno concern so long as the leaders are all right. The Herald and News thought thai the naiderstanding was that we were not to be stirred politically in this county until after the crops were about finished, but it seems that the politi cians will not let us even get our cotton hoed before we must go to holding club meetings and caucuses and voting for candidates for the Senate. No election has yet been ordered by the president of the Senate and we pre sume will not be until everything is cut and dried. Well, we have to just do what the bosses tell us. That is the modern ides of reform and the governmeut of the people and by the people. There is nothing like reform except tbe caucus, Stephen V. White, the bold specula tor familiarly known as "Deacon' White, went under in the panic ir Wall street last Friday. He wasa target for formidable opposition, hii - friends say, as he "fairly pranced uj 'and down the street with the chip or his shoulder." This is his fourth fail ure. The other occasions were in 1S68 1872 and 1891. Be will bob up serene ly again, no doubt, for he paid all his creditors of 1891 in full last December 'and had Sl0,000)OO left. It is very heroic and grand and ir fact we might say sublime to declin< an office which we had never hai offered us and the prospects of appoint ment to which were in the remote and distant future. But then these art peculiar times and require heroic action Goy. Tillman's letter toSolicitor Jer vey is a very clever piece of irony. Tha is ali very nice but the Governo should not joke about so serious a that t~. WATCH WASHINGTON! Federal Plums for Fouth Carollna About to Fll. (Special to The State.J WASHINGTON, May 4-Congressmen Hemphill and Johnstone arrived last night. Both c;xlled on the President to-day, with Senator Butler. The con ference with Mr. Cleveland was long, and from the smiling countenances the South Carolina statesman bore when they came out, was evidently satisfactory. The trio, with Represen tative Brawley, were in close consulta tion all the evening. They evidently expect something to drop soon. From an outside source it was learned that Mr. Cleveland had promised to begin with the South Carolina appointments at once, and that the Conservatives will be reoognized and no attention paid to Tillman's blacklist. Thomas B. Crews got the fourteen hundred dollar post office at Laurens, the home of Senator lrby and Congress man Shell in the place of Jesse M. Robertson, who was removed. Congressman Brawley introduced Lynch Pringle, formerly of South Caro lina, but now living in New York, to Mr. Cleveland this afternoon. Mr. Pringle wants a consulate, and prefers D. 8. Henderson and Gapt. Holly, of Aiken, called at the W hite House this afternoon to urge the latter's claimu for the marshalship. ANOTHER LOOK UPON THE SCENE. [Special to News and CoURIER.] WASHINGTON, May 4.-There were a number of South Carolinians among the callers at the White House to-day. The first arrival was Col. William Elliott, who aspires to the district at torneyship. He had a short conversa tion with the President on the subject, but the latter simply said that he has been so busy with other matters that he has not had time to consider the South Carolina appointments. Col Elliott remarked that he was in the city on other business, and was desirous of knowing when action may be expected. The President chatted very pleasant ly about the situation In South Caro lina, but did not intimate how soon he will be ready to act. While Col. Elliott was with the Presi dent Representative Brawley called to present Mr. D. S. Henderson, of Aiken, who wished to introduce to the Presi dent Mr. M. T. Holly, who is one of the candidates for the United States marshalshlp. The President repeated to Mr. Henderson in substance what he said to Col. Elliott. Mr. Lynch Pringle, of South Caro lina, who no o resides in New York, called to see the President about regain ing an appointment in the consular service. Under the last Cleveland Ad ministration Mr. Pringle was consul g.meral at Constantinople, and he would like to have something in the consular service equally as good. The President referred him to the Secretary of State. Representative Brawley says he has fully recovered from his recent accident, and is devoting himself to the interests of his constituents in the various depart ments. He proposes to have a talk with the President about South Caro lina matters in a few days by special a ntment, after which he will prob aby return to Charleston. Among the Presidential postmasters a ppointed to-day was Thomas B. Crews, to he postmaster at Laurens, the home, Senator Irby, and Repre sentative Shell. Mr. Crews replaces Jesse M. Robertson, who was removed. At the postoffiee department it is said that the appointment of Mr. Crews has no bearing on the controversy pending between the Tillmanites and the Anti Tillmanites. According to the general practice a Senator or a Ropresentative is permitted to name the postmaster at his own home. In this instance Lau rena is the home of both Senator Irby and Representative Shell, hence they were permitted to name Mr. Crews. It is understood that the Union post ffice case is now before the Presiden, an an appointment will probably be made in the next baJgeh of Presidential postmasters announced. B. 3!. L. CLEVELAND GOING SLOW. WASHINGTON, May 4.-A statement prepared from the records of the post office department shows that during the first two months of the present Ad ministration the total numberof fourth class postmasters appointed was 3,894, against 5,104 made during the first two moths of Harrison's Administration. The number of appointments made during, the last two months to fill vacancies -caused by resignations and deaths was 1,520, against 1,608 made during the corresponding period of the last Administration. The number of removals under Cleveland was 1,209, under Harrison for the same time 3,496. The excess of appointments four years aowas therefore 1,210 and the excess ofremovals 2,287, wiethe number of appointments made for resignations and deaths was 1,077 more than four years ago In view of the many mis statements which have been made in the press concernino. the number and causes of changes being made in fourth class postoffices the foregoing figures are regarded as interesting. MR. JREY'rs REPLY. H Tefle Gor. TiUman What the Law in the Case Is. CHARLEST'ON, 8. C., May 6.-The fol lowing is a co)py of a letter sent by Solic itor Jervey to Governor Ben Tillman to-day in reply to Governor Tillman's etter in-truceitng hiru to prosecute the Denmark lyuch.r'. I beg leave to, ackno,wlecle your let trof May- 4, wherein you direct me "to prceto Dei,um~rk attyour (my) earliest conveniene, for the purpose of thoroughly investigating the outbreak and taking the necessary steps to vin dicate the law and punish the lynch era." All lawful directions emanating :fo the executive shall be fully and earnestly carried out by me, but in a matter of such importance it is best that your directions conform strictly to aw. There is no provision of the law which would authorize me, with or without your sanction, as solicitor, to go into another circuit and assume the enforcement of the criminal law there. Section 511, of the General Statutes, under which I assume you act in this matter, authorizes the Gov ernor to direct the solicitors to assist the Attorney-General or each other, in all suits or prozecutions in behalf of the State. The section clearly contem plates that a solicitor so directed must be associated with, not supersede, the constituted representative of the State in any circuit, in some suit or prosecu tion there pending. T am satisfied that under this section he would not be authorized to take original proceed ing, and that an indictment presented by him would not be valid. Whenever the solicitor of the second circuit shall have performed his functions under the law, and a prosecution has been begun in Barn well County, should you think that the interests of the State would be subserv'ed by my presence, I shall prompy oe-the direction of your Excelenc. e duty is one of grave responsibility, neitner to be sought nor evaded, and I shall devote to its proper exceution all the ability and earnestness at my command. TILLAN'S SARCASM IN REPLY TO SOLICITOR JTERVEY. [Special to Augusta Chronicle.] CoLUMIA, S. C., May 6.-Governir Tilman to-day replied to the letter of Soicitor Jervey in which the latter re ferring to the Governor's instructions to prosecute the Denmark lynchers held that the law only directed him to assist another solicitor and not to take charge himself. The Governor says: While it may be presumption In me, a alayman, to construe the law differ. ntly from so distinguished an orna ment of the har as yourself, I insist teat en6 are "snlitting hairs," so to speak. You will not assert that the disability of the solicitor of the second circuit paralyzee the law, or deny that the judge can appoint a solicitor pro tem, and the technical language to assist the Attorney-General or each other cannot be construed to forbid an interchange of work or swapping places by a solicitor, even to take origi nal proceedings. I still hope you will waive your own construction and leave it to the court to pass on the legality of such proceedings as you may take in prosecuting the Denmark lynchers. Of course, I have no power to force you to perform a duty which I thought would be pleasant to you. If you still refuse, the matter must be left with the judge, when court convenes. SOLICITOR JERVEY DOES NOT PROPOSE TO BE PLACED IN A FALSE POSI TION. Solicitor Jervey has sent the follow ing letter the Governor in response to the last lett-!r of his Excellency: CHARLESTON, S. C., May 8, 1893. His Excellency B. R. Tillman, Gov ernor, etc., Columbia, S. C.-Sir: Your letter of 6th instant is received. Un doubtedly Section 511 of the General Statutes does make it the duty of the solicitors to "give their counsel and ad vice to the Governor and other State offices in matters of public concern whenever they shall by them required so to do." And had your xcellency done me the honor to call pon me for counsel and advice it would have been freely given. But in your letter of 4th instant you asked no advice, but per emptorily "directed" me to do an act forbidden by the Constitution. Now, however, if you really wish advice, and propose to have the Den mark affair investigated, I respectfully t%ggest that you call upon the solicitor of the 2nd circuit to obtain the infor mation necessary on which to base prosecutions, and to see that warrants are issued. When suits or prosecutions have been so begun it will be within your power to direct the Attorney Gen eral or the solicitor of some other cir cuit to assist in such prosecutions, and should it then appear that the solicitor of the 2nd circuit Is confronted by the possible embarrassments to which he has alluded, he may be relieved by his assistant of all further active participa tion. I repeat what I have before writ ten: "Whenever the solicitor of the 2nd circuit shaill have performed his func tions under the law, and a prosecution has been begun in Barnwell County, should you think that the interests of the State would be subserved by my presence, I shall promptly obey the direction of your Excellency." I do not propose to be misrepresented in this matter. I have not declined, nor do I propose to decline, any duty which may be imposed upon me by competent authority and in a lawful manner. I decline to waive my honest con struction of the law, or to suffer myself to be placed in a false position, and I decline to notice your unwarranted criticisms and insinuations. Respectfully, W. ST. JULIEN JERVEY, Solicitor of 1st Circuit. A TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT. The W. C. T. U. at Timmensvile-Hrs. Cha pin and Mrs. Traxler the Only Advo cates of the Dispensary Law. rSpecial to News and Courier.) TIMMONSVILLE, May 4.-The news papers of the State have unintention ally and perfectly naturally, owing to the often publicly expressed views of Mrs. Chapin on the subject, done in justice to the W. C. T. U. as an organ ization by committing it to the dispen sary law. The State meeting of that body has been in progress here the past two days. Your correspondent accidentally discovered a little tern nest In a teapot this evening.' Mrs. McSwain, of Mayesville, a bitter op ponent of the dispensary, offered some resolutions in a business meeting this afternoon, among which appeared this one: "Resolved, That any form of regula tion of the liquor traffic is wrong in principle and ineffective in practice; that we are utterly opposed to any set tlement of this question which in volves a moneyed compromise on the part of the Government." Mrs. Chapin immediately expressed the opinion'that this should not pass, as it would be carrying the Order into politics, (!) and on a motion to table by Mrs. Trailer, without any discus sion, put the affirmative of the ques tion, and declared it carried without giving the negative a chance to vote. Several delegates were prepared if any thing in the shape of an endorsement of this iniquito'is law should be at tempted to utter vigdrous protests, be ing so inistructed by their lodges at home. This was notably the case with Spartanburg and Newberry. Your correspondent talked with sev eral delegates this afternoon and found that the only upholders of the big bar room are Mrs. Chapin and Mr. ra ler. One lady who was quite outspo ken declared her belief that the stand taken by Mrs. Chapin was the begin ning of the downrall of the power for good of the W. C. T. U. in the State. Another just as plain spoken declared the whole thing, the holding of the meeting at the home of the State dis penser, whose wife is p resident of the local organization, and the invitation to the Rev. John 0. Williams, an ad vocate of the dispensary, to deliver the annual sermon, a put-up job to com mit the Order to the Evans law. One prominent lady stated that they wanted the good people of the State to understand they were in favor of no compromise with so great an evil as intemperance, and the reason they did not make this plain at the p resent meeting was the absence of all their public talkers except Mrs. Chapin, their invitations having been recalled, owing to serious illness in the family of Mrs. Traxler and their inexperience In parliamentary usage. Of one thing rest well assured-that Mrs. Chapin in her ardent admiration of the d ispen sary and our "noble" Governor does not speak the sentiment of the W. C. T. U. of South Carolina. N4OTICE TO OFFICE SEEKERs. The President Obliged to Decline Personal Interviews Anter This Date. WASHINGTON, May 7.-The follow ing has been issued by the President for publication : EXECTIVE MANsION, May 8, 1893. It has become apparent, after zwo months' experience, that the rules here tofore promulgated regulating inter views with the President have wholly failed in their operations. The time which under those rules was seI a for the reception of Senators and ep-i resentatives has been almost entirely spent in listening to applications for office, which have been bewildering in volume, perplexing and exhaustingin their iteration, and impossible of re membrnce. A due regard for public duty, which must be neglected if present conditions continue, arnd an observance of the hrn i:z.ions placed upon human endurance, oblige nie to decline from and after this date all personal interviews with those seeking appointments to office except as I, on my own motion, may especially invite them. The same considerations make it impossible for me to receive those who merely desire to pay their re~pects, except on the days and during the hours especially designated for that I earnestly request Senators and Rep iresentatives to aid me in securing for them uninterrupted interviews by de clining to introduce their consticaents Iand friends when visiting the Execu tie Mansion during the hours desig nated for tbeir reception. Applicants for office w ill only prejudice their pros Ipectsby repeated importunity and by reaiin atWashington to await re Notes from Excelsier. Cotton hoeing will commence with us this week. The grain crops have been very much improved by the recent rains. Mr. James D. Kinard spent Friday In the town of Little Mountain. We have already enjoyed our first mess of English peas and the prospects are very encouraging for other nice vegetables at an early day. Good seasons of rain last week and cotton as a general thing has come to a stand. We are told that in some see Lions the rains were very heavy. Some of our friends have been in quiring after "Sigma,"thinking he had got lost. We would say to our friends that we always try to keep our schedule time. We remain all wool and a yard wide. We spent Saturday in your town. We noticed along the road that the farmers had good stands of cotton. Some improvements in you town since Dur last visit there, amongst which we mention the new depot of the C. N. and L. Railroad. Newberry -always gets there. Died in St. Paul's community April 28th, 1893, Mr. Berley Shealy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Johr. N. Shealy. The runeral services were conducted b St. Paul's church by his pastor, Rev. 1. A. Bligh. The deceased was called away in young mahood, being 18 years, 3 months and 9 days old. We were invited to a rat killing at Mr. J. D. Stone's residence a few days ago. Several of the neighbors were on band and after the rat racket was over flifty large rats were taken from Mr. Stone's corn crib. This will prove to be Df more value to Mr.~Stone than politics Dr the Dispensary liquor bill. Owing to the busyseason of the year, very few of our people will %ttend the Columbia carnival next week. We notice the Columbia Journal invites the people to come to Columbia and BJoy themselves and assures them that it will not bea political meeting. Well, it does seem to us that one meeting hould be held without being mixed up with politics. Really, we have too much politics anyway. SIGMA.

ANOTHEE LYNCHING. Another negro was lynched last week for the usual crime in Williamsburg County. In this case, however, It seems there is no doubt about the fact of their having the right man, in fact he confessed to the deed and was given time to prepare for death, and every thing was done decently and in order. The Herald and News is not an advo cate of lynch law, but in such cases, when there is no doubt about having the right man It Is the quickest and surest way of dealing out swift and stern justice t i the culprit, and is ex cupable if not justifiable. The HeraL and News would be glad to see the journali ic brethren in Co lumbia dwell together in peace and unity. They should remember that the pen is mightier than the sword. We can see no use of constantly be ing at war. But if they must fight and nothing else will do them, we suggest that they rent an old field and leave all knives, clubs and platols at home and go out there and fight it out in the good old fashioned way. AN ASSISTANT TO RISHOP HOWE. Rev. Ellison Capers, of Trinity, Co lumbia, was the unanimous choice of the late Diocesan Convention of the Episcopal Church at Charleston, as the Assistant Bishop of South Carolina. Bishop Ellison Capers is in the me ridian of his manhood's day. A godly and devout minister has become, by divine appointment and the voice of his Church, its consecrated and exem plary prelate. - This distinguished son of Carolina claims Charleston as the place of his nativity, but dearly loves his State from its centre and throughout Its bounda ries, and is beloved in return by all her people, for he is a Carolinian by birth, sentiment, sympathy and association. During the Confederate war, It might not be amiss to mention for the younger members of society, Brigadier-General Capers was as chivalrous and knightly a soldier as ever went into the shock of battle. "Valor and virtue" were in his heart, and he wears to-day "the white flower of purity and peace." He is the son of the lamented Bishop Capers of the Methodist Episcopal Church, a saintly legate of the skies, whose memory is precious in his Church. History has beautifully re peated itself. Worthily will the son fill the apostolic office. Bishop Capers will receive a salary of $4,000 and the venerable and beloved Bishop Howe, whose increasing In firmities called for an assistant, will re ceive $2,000. The Cotton Plant does not even ex press an opinion on the letters of Gov. Tillman and Mr. Donaldson. HEEE'S A PRETTY HOW DYE DO! an Extra sesion ofthe LegIslature Talked About-The Evans LUquor Law Wants Mending, Ad Other Things Teo. ISpecial to News and Courier. I COLUMBIA, May S.-An extra session of the Legislature, by no means Immi nent, is not at all Imprbable. Quite a number of inquiries hve been made as to the calling of the Legislature, and while there Isjio reason in the world to believethatsuch a tis at present contemplated, It is being dsussed just as it were as certain to come as the scramble for office twoyears hence. The patcular feature about the -extra ses sion "boom" seems to be that It has its origin in the mind of the Administra tion, regardless of the cost and the acknowledgment that the legislation of last year was faulty. The case as stated to me by.-one of the prominent Till mnanites Is this: There is a very strong possibility that the Supreme Court will overthrow at least that section of the dispeasary law which shows a dissimilarity between the law as published and the journal of the Senate. In case that Is done, there is no provision in the bill for a legal profit on liquors sold by the counties. Te Court would, it is said, have no right to construe what was the Inten tion of the Legislature, as Its functions are entirely judicial and not legislative. The information goes even so far as to say that after the bill had been ex amined It was advised that the bill showed a bad error and that the best thing to do was to call an extra session of the Legislature, and it is even sug gested that such a course would have been seriously considered had It not been for alleged reflections against Speaker Jones. Then It is generally granted that the bill needs repairing in certain particulars on aecount of hasty legislation and [he new ideas that have been developed on certain parts of the law. In addition to the scareof the Admin istration about the dispensary law there are a few who are afraid that the Court may want something done about the bonds, but that is even more remote than the doubt about the dispensary bill. Moreover it is hinted that the caucus at the Governor's mansion thought that alittle legislation on the railroad question woldnetbeanles.
