NE WBEIRE S S. C. ELBERT H. AULL, Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSEA1. P ELBERT IL AULL, EDITOR. WEDESDHY, JME 21, 1893. In Colum bia we note that the county boa; d of control adopt the county au . ditor's books, while in Newberry the town clerk's books were used as the official list of freehold voters. The one is adopted which best suits the purposes for which it is wanted. The whole thing is a farce any way. Why not go ahead and put up liquor shops in every town. The prohibi tionists favor it and there is no need to consult those opposed to prohibition. The people voted for prohibition and in its place the State has gone into the liquor business and wants to sell all it can. If the majority is satisfied, the minority has no right to even protest. That has been the order of the day in late years. It Governor Tillman and the reform legislature, who enacted the dispen sary measure, really intended the thing to be a "step in the direction of prohi bition," why do they now desire to change the act so as to place dispen saries in the reach of towns that can not get them under the act as it stands at present ?-Johnston Mon itor. Their object seems to be revenues. They will no doubt be delighted to have the consumption of whiskey in creased. The more that is used the more the sales and the greater the rev enue. It is money we want and it is money we must have. But then it is reform and we have no protest to enter. Mr. Perry Murphy has been appoint ed District Attorney for the District of South Carolina. He was the c4ndidate for Attorney General on the Sheppard & Orr ticket last year and is a lawyer of ability and will make~an able officer. The newspaper men seem to be in it in this State for the position of post master. At Laurens Editor Crews re ceived the plum and now, at George town, Editor Josiah Doar is the happy man. Why not make a newspaper man postmattvr N, ,vaerry and settle the difficulty. - The correspondent of Lhe News and Courier says that the board of control I for Richland Co'ity will not count one man on the petition because he has died since he signed it. If they do not they will not ac'. as the New berry board. It was only by counting a dead manan d one who has been ai citizen of -another city for six months, that a dispensary could be established in Newberry. . The Herald and News joes not un derstand what that freehold voter clause was ever put in the bill for any- ( way. The administration seems to be determined to establish despensaries1 any way and we see no use of going through the farce of having applicants secure lists or signers. The administration surely is not hard up for money. But it does look like the moral question has been thrown to the winds and that the motto now is, "It is money we want." How is this at this season of the year? No doubt most of our country friends at least think just about this time of the year that there are but few instruments with the music in them that is in the dinner horn. We have not forgotten how sweet its sound used to be to our ear just about 12 meridian on a hot June day: The "Girl who plays the flute," To bless the world was born; But give us still the girl with skill To blow the dinner horn.C Editor David M. Stone, in retiring ' *from the New York Journal of Corn merce, writes: "I have been in the har-e ness since 1849 and have given forty four years of my life to the service without a single vacation. F'or the last four years .1 have had no editorialt assistant, and have written with my own band every article set in breviere type which has appeared in any edi tion of the paper, mating over three hundred leading editorials in each of the twelve months, besides attending1 to much other work in the conduct of the business. I have passed my seventy fifth birthday and it is time for me to lay down my pen and seek a needed rest. It is a comfort to me in the retro spect that since I began this ministry 1 have not written a line that could bring a blush to any honest cheek, or *which I now wish to recall as untruth ful or insincere. I have had no personal I quarrels with any and have never i printed an unkind word of others, whether in or out of the same profes- 1 sion."4 *That is agood record, and we fear that there are not many editors in this State who even in a shorter journa listic career could truthfully say what editor Stone here has written. He has earned his rest and we hope it may be pleasant and sweet to him. "Needle" has his say this week and we hope he is satisfied. No doubt he was urged by other parties to write as he has and we excuse him. The Herald and News stands just where it has stood all the time, and the opinion espressed last week of "Needle" is not changed by his column of words this week. Clemson college will open very soon. The prospect is for a full opening. Thei president has not yet been elected. The board should be very careful in the selection of this man. Much depends upon the man chosen for this place. The commencement in Newberry College was entirely satisfactory to the friends of the college. It was one of the best that we have eitnessed at the col lege in a number of years. The young gentlemeii all acquitted themselves very handsomely. The exercises were all a bove the average. The outlook for the future is also very encouraging. The college deserves success and will secure it. Iti nyten days to the primary elcinfor Senator in~ this county. The canrpaign has he'an peaceable and quiet. The voter will be at.libettj - )0t Some eight or ten counties promise to open out with dispensaries on July first. It will take more than that to get rid of all the liquor they have in Columbia. The stuff must be sold and it can only be done by dispensaries in the various counties. Lexington County breaks the record. There was only one prisoner in jail and he plead guilty. The juries were dis eharged on Monday, and by Tuesday the sessions and common pleas courts had adjourned. The lawyers will have to pick black berries for a living this summer. DISTRICT ATTORNEY MURPHY. a Significant Appointment for South Caro laa-Senator Irby's Evil Prognosti cations Do Not "Specify." [Special to The State.] WASHINGTON, June 19.-Irby's pro test on Friday did the work. William Perry Murphy was to-day appointed District Attorney for South Carolina, is it was predicted he would be in The State nearly almonth ago. Senator Butler and representative Brawley both recommended him. Ben Perry will come with the next turn of the cards, despite Senator [rby's evil prognostication. When iere last Friday the junior Senator was old about the appointments of Darby 'or Walhalla, and A. McN. Turner for Sinety-Six, "They have not been made ret?" he asked. "No, but they are promised, and will be to-morrow, was iaid by the State's correspondent. "They'll not come," said Irby. "De 3end on that. I have queered them." But they come, nevertheless, and ac ording to schedule. It is thought Irby hastened the ap pointment of Murphy by coming on md talking for Earle. The State correspondent named the Ive important appointments a month tgo. Two of them, Harris and Mur 'hy, have come. The others may be ooked for at any time. BRAWLEY SCORES AGAIN. Representative Brawley is putting in ome good licks. To-day he called on be Postmaster General and recom nended Josiah Doar for the postoffice at Georgetown. Later in the day, the ecommendation went in to the Presi lent; F. J. N. Sperry, the incumbent, was removed and Mr. Doar appointed. AMICABLY ADJUSTED. low a DIfficulty was Settled In Wideh a Newberry Man Had a Part. [Thel3tate, 20th.] Some days ago W. J. Shelton, of the egister, as an outcome of a newspaper :ontroversy, published a qard in which ie charged I. H. Hunt, of the Journal, with telling a "falsehood" and a "con ,octed lie." Shelton also stated that ie was in Columbia on Sundays. Mr. Hunt, who was in Newberry on unday, came down to Columbia to iave satisfaction. Mr. Shelton did not urn up. Yesterday morning, however, helton came to the city snd registered t the Hotel Jerome. Hunt wason the ookout for him and many expected a hooting match. Hunt did not meet helton till late in the afternoon, when ie overtook him on the pavement near Wright's hotel. His statement is that ae told Shelton he must retract or fight. Shelton said he was willing to do all hat a gentleman could do, and sug ;ested to H'unt that hesend for afriend o meet one of his friends at the hotel nd talk over the matter. Mr. John G. Japers went in behalf of Mr. Hunt, and kir. G. R. Keoster in behalf of Shelton. r'he matter was amicably arranged as le following papers show: COtUmBIA, S. C., 19th June, 1893. I take this opportunity to state that n the recent newspaper controversy elative to the address of the Rev. Mr. Watson at Florence on the24th oftMay, hat I maintain that my report of the ntire affair was correct and that the eport given in the Journal was not in ill of its detail correct. At the same ime I recognize that in my irritation >ver the matter I wrote too strongly, ind in accusing Mr. I. H. Hunf of the fournal of telling a "falsehood" and a 'concocted lie," that I did that gentle nan a great injustice, and that how ever incorrect, in my opinion, his re >ort, it was not nurposely a false or nisleading one. Tlierefore I retract the trong language. ( Signed) W. 3. SHELTON. Idesire to say in reference to the Vatson-Evans-Clayton-Shelton -Hunt ~ontroversy in the papers, as to the ddress of the Rev. Mr. Watson, that I iave never said that Mr. Shelton said r assented to the statement, "Make it Souestion of veracity between them," meaning Messrs Watson and Evans.) ['hose words were said by Mr. Clayton and not by Mr. Shelton, and In my ard where referred to Mr. Shelton's 'companion" as having made the re nark, I referred to Mr. W. F. Clayton s such, as will be seen by my card in be Columbia Register. Nor did Mr. helton urge me to agree to his version ft the address. I. :H. H UNT. A SOCKLESS POSTRASTE E. he Odd Charges Filed Against the lacena bcnt at DalHas, N. C. INew York Press.] WASHINGTON, June 16.-Under the ~eneral invitation of Postmaster Gen ral Bissell for charges against fourth lass postmasters, which was recently -escinded, a great many odd letters vere filed. Applicants for offie iave been driven to their wits end to nvent or procure reasons for the remo rat of the incumbents, but it was left o a North Carolinian to make the ddest and most remarkable charges iver filed against a political opponent. Dallas, N. C., has a postmaster named ?asour. Mr. Pasour has been in office bout three years, and no one has ever >bjected to him before. Here is what kir. Pasour's opponents write about iim and what hae been gravely filed at he Post Office Department: "He has no regard whatsoever for his yersonal appearance, which in itself nakes it very disgusting to the ladies 'ho are compelled to call for their own nail. He wears neither coat, vest, ocks nor shoes at this season of the rear. Neither has he any regard as to iis manner of conversation, being very oul, dirty mouthed and profane." It is suggested that Mr. Pasour should nigrate to Kansas, where he culdc join erry Simpson's party and not be -endered cnspicuous by not wearing ocks. STRUCK THE SOUTH. sad Break of the New Hanover Bank in Wilmington, N. C. WILMINGTON, N. C., June 19.-The Bank of New Hanover was not opened his morning. The following notice was posted on the doors: "Owing to the withdrawal of more than $320,000 of deposits and notes of over $150,000 maturing in a few days md also to its inability to realize quick ly upon its assets on account of the stringency of the times, the Bank of New Hanover has been forced to make in assignment to Junius Davis in the interest of all eoncerned. Depositors will receive dollar for dollar and the business will be wound up as rapidly ,s possible. (Signed) "A. L. SMrrH, "Cashier." The general belief is that the above statement is entirely fair and honest. I'be assets are estimated at $1,250,000, the liabilities, at $800,000. All the un paid collections of the Bank of New Hanover, have been turned over to the Wilmington Saving and Trust com WHO'LL HAVE DISPENSARIEST The Countle* Oficlly Regarded as Cer taln-The FIrst Order Received from Newberry. [The State, 19th.1 Saturday week the dispensary law is scheduled to go into effect. There are but eleven days more for the liquor men, if Judge Bond does not intervene to save them with that injunction. Everybody is getting ready for the grand finale, except the liquor men themselves, and they are taking things very quietly indeed. The law becomes operative on a Saturday, the hardest day in the week to cut off the habitual drinker from his liquor. It will hit the country drinker hard. Then again the glorious Fourth comes along three days later, to be celebrated, and theaverage South Caro lina countrym&n and laborer thinks whiskey is absolutely necessary to the proper celebration of the day. THE DISPENSARIES ON THE "GO." Most of the county boards meet to appoint the dispensers this week and up to date but few bonds of dispensers have been filed with the State board. The board however expects them all to come in during the ensuing ten days. The State authorities give the following list of the dispensaries they expect to have in full operation on the day the law goes into effect: Orangeburg (2), Barnwell (4), Edgefield, -Newberry, Sumter, Darlington, Lexington, Lan caster, Berkeley, Aiken, Abbeville, Greenville, Florence, Georgetown, Kershaw, Columbia, (probably 3.) OTHER INDICATIONS. They also expect one in Fairfield. They say Winnsboro having decided not to have it, Ridgeway is fighting for It, and Winnsboro will do a great deal before she will let the rival town have It. One of the leading members of the board says he expects to see at least one dispensary in Charleston before four weeks pass by, FIRST ORDER FOR LIQUOR. The first order for liquor was received by the StateCommissioner on Saturday; it came from the county dispenser at Newberry. Governor Tillman has ordered a sup ply of domestic wines. from people in this State. He says he has as yet or dered no champagne, French cordials and fine wines. He expects to keep such goods if there is shown to be a demand for them. THEI STATE CONSTABLES. Governor Tillman when asked about the appointment of the force of con stables, said that no one would ever know anything about that. He says they will be appointed in due time, but over half of them will never be known to any but the StateCommissioner and himself. They will be engaged in all sorts of occupations, and will not be required to make airests or raise a row that would give theqi away. They will simply be required to nose around and inform on those who are selling liquor illegally. THE DISPENSARY'S SIGN. Although it has been up for several days, the sign of the State dispensary was not noticed till yesterday. it is put up on the front wall between the win dows of the Railroad Commissioner's office. It is only about three feet square. The ground is white and the lettering black, It is a very lonesome looking sign. The revenue collector, under the United States laws, required it put out there before a drop of liquor could be bottled. It looks like this: STATE COMMISSIONER, Rectifier and.Wholesale Liquor. * CAN'T SELL THEIR STOCKS. The liquor dealers who have stocks on hand are in rather a bad fix, unless they sell it before the law becomes ope rative. The law says that if a man has a revenue license to sell whiskey in his possession it will be taken as prima faie evidence of the violation of tlie dis pnsary law and the holder thereof is 'abltorosecution. If he does not have this license the United States revenue authorities will swoop down upon him for violation of the United States laws, if he attempts to sell. G3ov rnor Tillman says they realize that the revenue licenses now held by the liquor dealers are issued for the year and cannot be gotten rid of. If, how ver, a -.nan keeps his place open with the stock therein, and the revenue license displayed, It will be taken as prima facie evidence that the party is breaking the law and prosecution will be entered. THE SIDEBOARD BUSINESS. Governor Tillman proposes to make it lively for those who intend to keep their places open and run restaurants without removing their stocks from the shelves and their licenses, as indi ated above. He says in those cases where a man attempts to have a sideboard and per mits customers to have lock boxes in which they keep their own whiskey, he will quickly enter prosecution under sections 21, 22 and 23, which cover the ase, as they declare any place where persons can congregate to drink, a public nuisance, gives the State the rght to confiacate the property, and lose up the house. A Card fro,n Dr. Wyche. As it is impos~sible to have a cam paign this year I wi,hi to make a short statement to the voters of Newberry ounty. I have been in sympathy with the Farmers' movement from its bgnnmng. Last year at the request of the iRform era I partially canvassed the county for the Tillman ticket. This year be fore the Reformers selected their candi dte I expressed myself as willing to sup port any one they might select. We are fighting for measures, and not men. I be....ime the candidate of the Reformers without the solicitation on my part. This government is manipulated by, ad is run in the interests of manufac turers, bankers, and other corporations. The only way for the people to get re lief from this unjust oppression is to let men to legislative positions who are in sympathy with th a mass of the people. The Reformers of South Caro lina are working for the interests of the farmers and laboring men, with no in tentions to be unjust to any other legit mate business. The next Senator votes for a United States Senator to succeed M. C. Butler. If I am elected I shall oppose Senator Butler's re-election, and shall vote for the Reform candidate -for the United States Senator. Come to the election on June 29th, and vote for the man of your choice. Your obedient servant. C. T. WYCHE. Go to the Eight. Mr. Ediwor: I see that Greenville has a town law requiring all persons when they meet to go to the right. Now why can't Newberry follow suit? I am sure it is a good idea. We all know what a great trouble we have in passing each other. We see every day from this trouble, thinga that make our blood boil. I am sure if the coun cil will pass an ordinance to this afr'ect every one will be pleased. What say you gentlemen, let's try it? I know the ladies of this town will bless you. Then, again, gentlemen, if a case of this ever comes before you, you will have no trouble In getting at the truth, because we all know which is right and which is left. We would like to see this law go into effect and that pretty soon. It may save me, and others, of a great deal ofj troble CrIEr.m - "Needle" vs. The Herald and News. MR. EDITOR: It SeeMS from the cross examination that "I put my foot in it." Poor Needle innocently thought a reader had the right to express his opinions on important questions discussed by editors. He is now "a sadder but wiser man," and realizes that "fools rush in where angels fear to tread." As you have laid the serious charge of misrepresentation at my door, a reply is, of course, consequently forced upon me. This must be understood. To read your caustic editorial before seeing the cause of it, one would naturally suppose that you had been outrageously abused. You were not charged with dishonesty, or po litical rascality. Your vigorous denun ciation only proves the weakness of your position, and that there were good grounds for my criticism. It is strange that editors-the moulders of publi opinion and leaders of thought and action-cannot argue without descending to personalities. So long as an humble layman in the great church politic site quietly in his pew and agrees with the editorial priest, he is very clever; but let him dare rise up and have the audacity to oppose, to contradict, to criticise, then woe unto him, the scribe and Pharisee. The countenance of the priest undergoes a change: a sarcastic curl of the lip takes the place of the patronizing smile. The once quiet listener is 1.o longer the clever fellow. When his argument cannot be successfully met, he is dismissed with a contemptuous "shrug" of the pen, which is supposed to be very withering in its force; or, instead of that soft answer which "turneth away wrath" and bring eth peace, or the "word fitly spoken," his contribution, if it be so fortunate (or un fortunate?) as to see the light, is held aloft and shot at, irrthe attempt to riddle it so that the people can't understand it. Very often his questions are uncivilly answered-if answered at all-as though he had not the liberty of asking them. Ridicule assumes the role of logic, and satire usurps the throne of reason, and the editor dishes up a multiplicity of rounded sentences that don't stick to the text. Is it done to keep down criticism? If a correspondent's remarks are not true, a discriminating public can easily detect their falsity. Why should one be afraid of a little criticism? If his posi tion be right, all the criticism to the con trary cannot make it wrong. It is a favorite dodge with an editor tc charac terize an opposing article as "nothing," and before his readers see the said article they have read his labored editorial try ing to show the length and breadth and depth and height of this "nothing"-with something in it after all-and are prej-' diced in advance against it; that is, those easily influenced imitators are who have not the capacity to think for themselves or the courage to acknowledge a wrong. Let all editors tote fair and accord jus dce "though the heavens fall," and then peace may spread her white wings o er a happy land. The Herald and News is too sensitive by far for a newspaper in. these times. When .an editor is criti cised on special political lines it is un derstood that much of the criticism is oftentimes directed to his faction through him as a leader or spokesman. If I erred, it was at least honest, per haps "ignorant, error." Preliminary skirmishes to a great political battle are now going on. I have the right to take part, and to put my own construction on certain connecting incidents. If that onstruction be wrong, set it right. This is the boasted land of liberty. Must a nan refuse to speak out because of obli gations of friendship, or of trade or ac ommodation? He sells his labor, but in his principle he is as free as the air he breathes. You misunderstaind my position. I at tempted to -show you how pacde could alone be restored. You desire peace. A commendable attitude, and I distinctly said that it was a sentiment to which very honest man would subscribe. Mark that. Here we have the spectacle of a man who, while proposing a scheme for peace, whips out his tomahawk of war and whoops like a wild Comanche. Peace with war! All the fle dust you raise in your war-dance cannot obscure the point. You were doing the talking and proposing-the fighting for peace but you tell in the first battle, and now cry aloud that "Needle prevents peace." That is ridiculous. Why should I not desire peace? Why should you, and not [, want harmony? have nowhere said you did not wish for unity. But whether you thought .I was for peace or war should not have swersed you from the path of duty. A man seeking, peace, pursues the way of peace. No, sir; you were put to the test-when you retreat ad. ou could not stand the pressure. Don't get mad. It does no good. "He that controleth'his own spirit is greater than he that taketh a city." After saying that the way peace was to be restored was to relegate the extreme men on both sides, it was your duty to :ome out boldly as the next step in. this worthy proposition and repudiate the political utterances of Mr. Gonzales; aspecially when reminded that such step was necessary, not only to test your smn erity, but to~secure harmony. I did not nd do not call upon you to abuse Mr. Bonzales. But I repeat, that, before peace can ever be restored to South Car alina, N. G. Gonzales has to be repu iated by your faction; and if you do not isundrstand me, you misrepresent me. [ admit my prejudice-and the sane sian who says he is entirely free of preju ice utters a falsehood-but prejudice against Mr. Gonzales arises from the tact that it is he who prevents peace and stirs up strife. He is the most venom >usly hating man of the combined forces. There was nothing in my article to :all forth that tirade from The Herald ad News. Your reply-which is no mswer-only shows that you, the man who has been criticising, week by week, verything the Alliance and the Demo crat have done, cannot stand criticism. The truth is that it is the truth that aurts. One becomes angry when the truth is rubbed in unpleasantly. Be auseltry toshow you the only way to accomplish what you say you are sincere in desiring, you forthwith lose your head ad-I am "off my base.'' Of course you will allow me to prove that I am on ny base. For one who "does not care such about these things" you do have Lots to say; which "Needle knows, if he knows anything." I did not abuse Haskellism or defend Thirdpartyism, buAt simply meant that you could never have peace as long as you excused the one and condemned the ather; and this you do when you echo the sentiments of Mr. Gonzales. Rich Land Haskellism and Oconee Thirdparty ism were only mentioned as being the wo opposing extremes. Reason about the matter-let us come to an understanding-we want peace you make the proposition-"mutual con essions"-"get rid of extremists." No oane has made the proposition except the editor of The Herald and News. Re member that. Now if 31r. Gonzales is not the extremest of all extreme men, then you are right, Mr. Editor, I am "off base" and badly off. Why did you make the proposition if you could not stand op to it? You know, "or ought to know," the present cause of the prevention of peace. You were simply asked if, in your sincerity for peace,youl were willing to repudiate-not abuse-your most ex treme leader, the dangerous agitator and defender of Independentism. Oh, no; you "are not singhing out leaders." How are you to get rid of them then? Will you get them out of the way three at a time, or by twos? Can you put them to the rear witnout naming them? Please tell exactly how you propose doing. But who are your extreme leaders anyway? You have made the start, now go ahead; blaze out the path--it leads to glory. 'Blessed are the peacemakers." But, again: You "are not taking sides in a personal matter between the editors of The Register and The State." A good way to try to get out of it, but of all lame excuses the lamest ever given by an in telligent man. If The State and The Begister were engaged in a religions con troversy, or an agricultural discussion, or on any other matter than politics, and you had honest and conscientious opin ions on the subject, and were called upon for a decision or an expression of your views, particularly when you had pre viously made a suggestion in regard thereto, would you refa or back down, because of the personal enmity between Mr. Gonzales and Mr. Calvo? You were called upon to decide an important mat ter of your own proposing. The enmity between the two gentlemen named has nothing to do with your position. The question also of Mr. Gonzales' integrity has not been raised, and you dodge the issue when you hide behind that subter fuge. Let us have peace," for the nd's sake. NxzDLiL Suicide in Edgefield.
