NEJVBERRY. S. C. ELBERT H. AULL, EDITOR. IT IS TIME TO CONSIDER. The Herald and News is of the opin ion that in this off vear in politics we should use all our efforts towards re storing harmony and good will among all the different factions in the Demo cratic party in this State. We have had enough of bitterness and strife. We have had enough of ill-will and bad feeling. We have had enough of charges and counter charges. Why should we remain divided? Who is reaping any benefits from all of this strife? Certainly the State as a whole is not. The Greenville News very truthfully says: "The bitterness of feeling among us is penetrating everywhere and blighting everything. It is hurting us moKally, politically, materially, socially and every other way. Is it not time for those who really care for the State aid people of South Carolina, who have some courage, sense and good feeling left, to stir themselves to bring about mutual concessions and compro mises so that we may be a united peo ple before it is too late?' The Herald and News thinks it is time that something should be done. In order to accomplish anything, how ever, we must make up our minds on all sides that all wisdom and virtue and patriotism are not centred in and confined to one set or class of men. We must be willing to acknowledge and admit that there is still something good in the other fellow. We must make up our minds to give and take and to see something good in those who do not think as we do. The trouble is that when rnyone suggests anything looking to a settle ment of differences some other fellow will come along and accuse him of dwelling in plat itudes. We believe that the great mass of the people are tired and sick of this everlasting bitterness aad strife. We believe that they realize that they are gaining nothing by it and are willing for a settlement of differences on a fair and equitable plan. In order to do this, however, we have to rid ourselves of leaders who are extreme partisans. We must come together on a plane where we can harmonize. The great mass of the people are not gaining anything by all this crimina tion and recrimination. They are be ginning to see it. By keeping the people divided a certain class of poli ticians can hope to live and thrive. They have drifted to the front by vir tue of the strifes and divisions among the white people, and to keep it up is their only hope. Of course they will be interested in keeping the sore run ning. We must get rid of such. Next year we will have to have new leaders, and we want to put our peeple to thinking and considering this thing. There must be some concession and compromise, and there can be without sacrifice of principle by anyone. The editor of this paper has never been a Tillmanite, yet some of his best friends in this county have been. But our re lations as friends have never been dis turbed by our politics. We have al ways tried to be fair and have not con sidered that all wisdom and patriotism were centred in us. There would be no troubie for us to come together on some sort of basis if the country was rid of the bitter partisans on both sides. It is no use for us to say that we will not vote any more because these friends who outnumber our side have not agreed with us. We think that their caucusing against us is wrong, and we do not hesitate to tell them so, and we will continue to point out the wrongs as we see them, in the hope that event ually we may be able to get them to see the error of their course. Let us get together, but 'continue to hold on to the Democratic ship. We may get her back safe after awhile. If this strife and division keeps on there is danger ahead, and we will not be long in reaching it. Let us consider these things and stop all this foolish ness. Some of the clubs are paying no heed to the call for a caucus and will not participate in its proceedings but leave themselves free to act as freemen and vote in the primary as their conscience and best judgment may dictate. That is right and proper. The Herald and News has abiding faith in the good common sense of the people and while they may be fooled for awhile, they will generally do what is right. The object of the primary is to give each man the right to vote as he pleases and if he binds himself up in a caucus he voluntarily takes away from himself that liberty. If the Register would stop speaking of bourbons and ring rule and all that sort of stuff and see something besides politics and scarecrows in everything that is done by the opposition, and if the News and Courier and The State could be given some sort of spectacles that they could see something occa sionally in the Tillmanites that was not utterly bad, we might get started on the road to reconciliation. But as long as these papers keep up the present course, the prejudices and the passions of the people will continue stirred up, and we will continue to be ruled by prejudice and there will be no peace. It is very strange to us, any way, how far sensible people are governed by prejudice. It is sad, and to be de plored, but it isinevertheless true. We want to stop these stirrers up of strife. Let them talk about the development of our natural resource or something else for at least two weeks, and let politics go.________ South Carolina office-seekers are still waitirag. Patience is a good thing. We suppose we will get the appoint ments that belong to the State proper, but it does not look much like we will get any foreign plums. Well, we could not expect much when we are so divided among ourselves and have so much internal wrangling. It cost $2,500 to entertain the Duke de Veragua in Chicago last week. Con gress ordered the bills to be paid, as the The Supreme Court in deciding the Chester case in regard to the liquor question had to overrule two of the de cisions of the court made some years ago. This decision will be the law until it is overruled. We are in such a state of condition that we hardly know where we really are at. This last decision may be, and no doubt is, the right and proper construction of the law on the questions raised, but there seems to be no certainty in any thing any more. What is one way to-day may be another way to-morrow. Well, you know it is all right so long as it is right. The Governor is placing big orders for whiskey all the same, and if there is any money to be made out of the sale of whiskey the State proposes to make it. The palmetto tree has been blown into the State's whiskey bottles. They want it under stood that this thing is being done by and in the name of the great State of South Carolina.. We publish in another column an interview with Senator Butler in which he defines his position on national questions. He favors the free and un limited coinage of silver and the repeal of the ten per cent. tax on the circula tion of State bank notes. He is of opinion that these two things accom plished and the financial question would be settled for twenty-five years. He also favors an income tax. We think he is right on that, and we be lieve State banks of issue would be good institutions and give us a safe currency. It costs $45,000 a day to run - the World's Fair. That is a pretty good sum. It will take a large number of visitors to meet this expense. Gov. Tillman thinks that the State will make at least half a million a year out of the sale of liquor the first year. No wonder the prohibitionis's favor the dispensary. But in order to do this there will have to be a good deal of the stuff drank. There will not be much reduction in the consumption. Strange, is it not, how the hope of a little money will ease the conscience of the ardent prohibitionists and those who wanted prohibition from principle and on account of the evils of intem perance. The Herald and News is very anx ious to see peace in South Carolina, but this we will never have until the extreme men on both sides are rele gated to the rear. There has been too much crimination and recrimination on all sides and there can never be peace until we get a new set of leaders and get rid of this everlasting abuse and fault-finding. There will have to be concession on all sides. As long as we keep up at the present rate we are only getting farther apart and there is no prospect of getting closer together. Strange, too, the mass of the people who are keeping up this everlasting strife reap no benefits from it. Some of the papers are abusing Gen. Butler because he seems to be making some friends for himself from those whomwere formerly supporters of Gov. Tilman. The Herald and News would like to know how they expect Gen. Butler to beat Gov. Tillman for the Senate unless he gains some votes from those who were formerly supporters of Gov. Tillman. If the vote stands as it did last year Mr. Tillman will have a walk over. The only way we see for Mr. Butler to beat the race is for him to get some of the former supporters of Mr. Tillman. Please tell us how else he will be able to do it. Governor Tillman has commuted the sentence of Lavelle, the Charleston wife murderer, to imprisonment in the penitentiary. The commission ap pointed to look into his sanity and re sponsibility for the act fa.iled to agree and hence the Governor was left in a worse predicament than he was before he appointed his commission, and he has given the murderer the benefit of the doubt. But if the man is crazy it seems to us that he has been sent to the wrong place. He should have been sent to the Asylum, the place where they take the insane. It .is wrong to put a crazy man in the peni tentiary._________ The new decision of the taxing de partment requiring towns and cities to pay taxes on the personal property they own will add a very small amount to the treasury from Newberry. This town owns about $500 worth of per sonal property. The town already pays $10,000 on its real estate.-Ob server. Pretty good little sum to pay. How the taxpayers in the county ought to love the town of New berry for liber ality! Newberry ought to receive a larger share of the patronage than she does on account of her liberality. The Sumter Watchman and South ron, in view of the decision of the Su preme Court that. town property is to be assessed for taxation, wants to know, unless specially mentioned as exempt, if county property ought not to be as sessed for State taxation. Certainly it would seem so, if in the town it ought to be taxed for town purposes. Why not, when it is not specifically exempt by the words of the Statute. Representative Strait does not think his recommendations will count for much, even in his own District. Pity, is it not. G->v. Tillman has appointed J. A. Johns a member of the county board of control for Oconee County. Mr. Johns is an avowed Tbird partyite. Mr. Tiliman appoints Tillmnanites and Third partyites, but never an anti that we have heard of. Sumter's Water Works arecomplete, and have proved a suecess under a practical test. Fire will have little opportunity to do any considerable damage in the business portion of the cty in the future; and property owners in all portions of the city have much greater protection from fire than here tofore.-Watchman and Southron. Why should they not be equally suc cessful in Newberry? May be when we get the dispensary well underway and the citizen is relieved of taxation we can have water works and lights. We sup pose the kickers would not kick if we had these modern conveniences The Herald and News is not going to do the foolish thing of refusing to vote because the result is not as we would like to have it every time. That is the only privilege we have left-to go and vote. If we stop that we will be out in the cold, then, sure enough. And then it would please our friends, the Tillmanites, too well, for we caz; manage to keep them uneasy and not always just exactly satisfied with how the result will go. We can't just yet give up the only privilege they allow us. We will not advise any one else to do so either. Oh, no, lets keep on voting, if for nothing else just for the fun of the thing. May be, by-and-by, we will be able to show our erring brethren the folly of the course they are pursuing. They may have caucuses just as long as they please, but we are going to keep on showing the people the error of their ways and the injustice of such things and why they are thus and how the leaders have them fooled, but we are going to keep on voting just the same -just so long as we are permitted that privilege. There is no use to get mad about it, just because the people don't see just as we do, and say we will have nothing more to do with you. The people can not be fooled all the time. They will aee the truth after awhile and justice will prevail. They will see that they are being used by demagogues and so called leaders as they never were be fore, and there will be an awakening such as you never heard before, but we are going to continue to vote just as long as they will permit it. Our contemporary, the Observer, has a very good article in its last issue on the injustice and evils of the caucus system adopted by one faction in our politics in this State. What it says on this subject is all very true. The caucus plan is a great wrong. But what good it will do to say "because you treat me thus I will have nothing more to do with you." Unless you de sire to be free to do as you please at the general election. The ony privilege we have left under the present plan of running the machine is to vote, and that we expect to continue to do until they deny us that right also, and we do not think they will undertake that. We believe the people will, after awhile, see the injustice of this caucus business, and see how wrong it is to so treat-their friends. And they will put a stop to it. We sometimes think that those who engage in the caucus do not fully realize the great wrong it is to their friends. Of course it is to the in terest of the leaders to keep them blinded, and for the past three years almost everything has been run on the plane of prejudice and passion, but this sort of thing cannot last always. There will be an awakening after awhile, and it will be terrible-like an army with banners to the aforetime leaders who have been deceiving the people with unfulfilled promises and pledges.________ Mr. Henry S. Hartzog writes a letter to the State newspaper showing the importance of manufacturing enter prises in this State, and among other things he says: "The diary of a South Carolinian might read as follows: "Rose in the morning and struck a match made in Akron, Ohio. Dressed in a suit of clothes made in New York. Wife cooked breakfast on a stove made in Baltimore, the meat was brought from Cincinnati and the flour from St. Louis. Smoked a Richmond cigar. Fed my Western horse on Western hay and corn, harnessed him to a Michigan road cart and drove down town to talk over war times and 'cuss' the Yankees. Bought a ready made axe-handle, some New Jersey tomatoes and Min nesota furniture. Returned home and found my boy just home from school with a satchel full of Yankee text books. Spent the rest of the day hoeing cotton for the Yankees, while my brother in town is clerking for the Yankees." All of which is very true. and if we do not stop this sort of business we can never expect to be a prosperous and a happy people. IThose citizens who are holding meet ings and passing resolutions denounc ing the News and Courier and The State and part icularly"Gonzales&Co.," as they put it, for the part they took in the Denmark lynching matter, are cer tainly ignorant of the true position of these men and papers, else they would not pass i.uch resolutions, if they had any regard for the t ruth. T bese papers and these men have in no sense, by word or act, in any way condoned the offense for which me~n are lynched. The only point th'ey mnade was that a mob thould not hang an innocent man however humble, antd in the Peterson case the evidenes. wa fair from conclu sve. _______ __ According to Mr. P. A. Stovall New berry can never become a very great city. She has no canal and no imme diate prospect of getting one. Colum bia ought to be very great very soon, for she has had a canal so very long and we have heard so much of this canal for the last quarter of a century. We might by and by utilize Scott's creek. _________ EMany things have been undertaken in the name of reform in this State, but very little has been accomplished. TUE RtAILEtOADs IN C0UR~T. They will sue the SherIfra for Detention of their Cars. ISpecial to News and Courier.] (CoLMB IA, May0 22-It is understood th?t the South Carolina and Richmond and Danville roads will in a few days file their suits against the sheriffs for tying up their trains during the recent tax fight. The Richmond and Dan ville will make its damages for $3~3.000 and tbe S"uth Carolina road forS?,000. It is asserted that these figures are based on the actual losses of the roads by the holding of their trains. Mr. Crawford, the special lawyer engaged in these cases, will probably enter the suits. He went to Charleston this afternoon in company with Receiver Oakman. They will go from Charles ton to Atlanta, where the fight for the removal of Receiver Comer is to be made. Attorney General Townsend has not yet received any intimation about the damage suits and thinks that the railroads had better get through with their other cases before they begin on a new tack. Sheriff Nance has not yet paid his fine to the Court, and the Court will no doubt in a few days order an execution against him or his official bond. Gov ernor Tillman does not ex pect to give the record-breaking sheriff any finan cial assis'tance and he will have to help himelf out of the hole. THE LAW OF THE DISPENSARY. Ruten Fixed by the State Board of Control -Governor Tillman Expects the State to Clear a Half Million Dollari Through the State Bar Ioona. [Special to Sunday News.] COLUMBIA, May 20.-One drink a day, no matter what its size, is the order of the State board of whiskey control. It has to be takei before - o'clock in the evening, except in cases of sickness. The board is setting a premium on temporary illness. The regulations for the dispensaries are full of unique features and are sure to be carefully studied by prospective patron izers of the branches of the State bar room. They read as follows: 1. County dispensaries will be open for the sale of liquors at 7 A. M. o'clock from April 1 to October 1, and close at 6 P. M. The rest of the year the hours will be from 8 A. M. to 6 P. M. In cases of illness only sale may be made at night. 2. No loafing will be allowed around a county dispensary. 3. When the applicant for the pur chase of liquor is unable to write he or she can make a cross mark, and the same attested by the county dispenser will be received as if made in accordance with the Act. Applications must not be filled for one .person oftener than once a day. 4. Applications can be filled on written orders made in good faith when the name of the applicait is authorized to be signed by the county dispenser and persons known to said dispenser, or his identity is established to his satisfaction. 5. County dispensers can carry on their legitimate business in connection with the sale of liquors in the same store by paying a proportionate share of the rent, but this does not affect the time of closing as fixed in rule one. All liquors must be sold for cash and money deposited in bank each night. 0. A member of the county board of control must be present when a ship ment to a county dispensary is opened to certify to any breakage of bottles in transit, else no claim of that kind will be allowed by the State commissioner. 7. All packages eon caining bottles of liquor, wine or beer must be opened carefully, so as to be returned to the State commissioner without inj-Ury, and the same must be shipped back at once. Any loss or damage will be charged to the county dispenser. 8. Any liquor not in stock in the county dispensary will be purchased by the State commissioner on applica tion through county dispenser or furn ished from Columbia. 9. If county board of contr:>l, or county dispenser, suspects anyone of infringing the law, a State constable will be detailed at once to investigate and make arrests, upon application to the Governor. The same will be done when notice comes to the Governor from any reliable citizens. 10. Prices of the various brands of liquors on sale will be kept posted in a conspicuous place in each cour .y dis pensary. Any deviation frorr. these prices, if reported, will cause aismissal of county dispenser. 11. Dispensaries will not be estab lished at more than one place in the county until after consultation with the State board of control and by its per mission. 12. The quarterly expense account of each county dispensary must be ap proved by each county board and sub mitted to the State board for endorse ment before it is paid by the county treasurer. County dispensers are re quired to conduct their business with the same economy as similar stores are run under private ownership. They will be allowed assistance only when the magnitude of the business warrants it, and the State board will issue the permit to employ a clerk upon a proper showing. 13. Alcohol will be kept in stock at Columbia, or ordered from the distillery by the State commissioner, when the order comes through the county dis penser for barrel packages. 14. In counties where no -dispensaries are or can be established the county board of control can receive no com pensation. Thbeir appointment is for the purpose of soliciting their aid in enforc ing the law. 15. Any rules in addition to these formulated by a county board, will be submitted to the state board for ap proval before they are enforced.-. 16. County dispensers may provide refrigerators and ice with whichito cool beer. The State board will contract for same and then it can be ordered direct. B. R. TILLMAN, Governor, D. A. TOwNSEND, Attorney-General. W. H. EI.LERRE, Com.-General. State Board of Control. TALKING DISPENSARY. Governor Tillmnan was in the humor to talk dispensary to-day, and this evening, when I was at the mansion, he gave out a talk to be used in connec tion with other matters given out to day and so that everyone may be able to understand the intentions of the dispensary management. He has at last given out the official prices at which liquor will be sold under the dispensary system. The cheapest whiskey is to be retailed to the consumer at $3 per gal lon, .75 cents per quart, 40 cents per pint and 20 cents per half pint, the difference in smaller packages being the cost of the packing and glass. This price will apply to both rye-and corn and thbe liquors sold at $3 will cost $1 50 at the distilleries a'nd will be of the best quality obtainable at that price. He went on to say that since he has been investigating liquor he has dis covered two things: First, that but very little honest liquor is sold in this State, very nearly all of it being com pounded liquor, and second, through his dealings with glass man ufacturers of bottles and fiasks that dealers in this State have been using flasks from two to eight ounces below the legal measure ment. Quarts have run twenty six to twenty-eight ounces, when they should have been thirty-two ounces, and smaler flasks show the same propor tion. He had furtljer discovered, he remarked, that nine-tenths of the liquor sold in this State was from 60 to 90per cent proof, vihen it shoula have been 100. It has been waterecd, as well as doctored and colored and sugared. Practically none of the liquor sold in this State has run over thbe.90 per cent proof. The whiskey that will be sold by the dispensary will be from 20 to 30 per cent stronger than that now sold, and there will be an absolutely honest measure and an absolutely pure article. "I have collected about twenty-five samples of liquors from different parts of the State, which will be turned over to Dr. Burney for chemical analysis as soon as he has the time, and we will show tihe people what kind of stuff they have been drinking," said Gov ernor Tillman. From the talk he has had with men whbo sell liquor to dea lers in thisStatehbe was convinced that nine-tenths of the whiskey sold in South Caro'ina is not over two or three months old and has not had time to get mellow or lose its injurious pr oper ties. When asked what he thought about the opposition to the establish ment of dispensaries he replied that "the July sun would evaporate all that" and that before long dispensaries will be established in all of the counties, and before January even in those coun ties where there is now absolute prohi bi Then I asked him about profits to be had out of the system and be replied: "From the best information I have been able to get from a variety of sources there is now over a million gallons of whiskey sold in the State, possibly a million and a half. We estimate that there will be a falling off of about one third in consumption-certainly not over a half. We will get a net profit of one dollar out of every gallon of whis keysol and., in aitin, a onsider able revenue from wines, beers, brand ies, etc. it won't cost more than $100, ouu to distribute the goods and it way cost $25,000 to enforce the law." Al together, he said, the minimum profit would not be less than a half million dollars for the firstyear. Governor Tillman talked with deter mination about the enforcement of the law. He said that he had just ordered fifty badges for special constables and detectives, and he was going to have a good corps of constables and detectives to make arrests, seize whiskeys and see that the law was properly enforced as well. They will perhaps keep an eye on the county dispensers and no doubt also give an eye to clubs, which hesays under Sections 21 and 22 prevent the dispensing or keeping of liquor in a club for use by its members. When asked about the business he said: "Our idea is to have samples of all leadiog breweries analyzed. Every body will be given a fair chance and when selections are made and beer offered on the market the lables will be identical, except as to the numbers, that is No. I will represent the beer of a certain brewery and No. 2 of another brewery. The labels will set forth that it is bottled exclusively for the South Carolina State dispensary. Beers that have been offered us show a variation of as much as SS 50 a cask of bottles (ten dozen pints.) Our idea in putting on numbers is to do away with the difference which long established repu tation has had on many imaginations. We propose to let beer, after it has stood the chemical test, stand the test of the stomach and do away with an imaginary superiority. We won't force our people to drink slops because they are made at home and are cheap. We will not buy a high-priced beer because it has a reputation that is not better than a home product. All the beer must stand on its own merits in the market and will be sold at the uniform price of fifteen cents per bottle. We will encourage it in every way possible, and I hope the Legislature wil. allow us to put it on draught where it can be obtained cheap. Ice will be used and beer will be sold in a palatable shape. The State board of control will receive proposals from different ice companies that choose to compete for the contract to provide ice for the summer for the county dispensers. "It is the duty of the county board of control to inform themselves as soon as possible as to the kinds and qualities of the liquors, wines, etc, required to meet the demand in -their respective counties, and give the information to the State commissioner at as early a date as practicable, Iegular official orders for liquors must come through the cointy dispenser in the form of a permit to buy, provided for in Sec tion 10." THE W1I1TE HOUsE POLICY. Mr. Cleveland In Favor of an Income Tax and the Repeal of the Tax on State Banks. LNew York Sun.] WA.IGTON, May 21.-CertaiD items in the Administration's financial policy which the President will urge on Congress have been agreed upon. That is to say, it is now believed that the President has practically deter mined, with the acquiescence of the Secretary of the Treasury, upon these three measures, namely: The uncondi tional repeal of the Sherman silver law, the repeal of the State bank tax, and an income tax. That the repeal of the Sherman law will be an uphill business Mr. Cleve land disguises to no one. His idea is that what is so obviously for the public welfare as the repeal of this law can be put through Congress, even though the fight be a hard one. Although these are separate mea sures, the belief is that a sufficient number in Congress will combine to pass them. Mr. Carlisle, it is said, is of the opinion that while the bill for an ibncome tax will awaken fierce op position, it will bear discussion and prove a strong measure before Con gress. The old silver guard in Congress, as one of them declares, will be strong enough to prevent the unconditional repeal of the Sherman law. He insists that if it is repealed finally, it will be because the silverites get something equally as good, or better. The tariff will be treated as a subordi nate question.
