4WILAL NEWBERRY, S. C. RLBERT H. AU Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSEAh4 ELBEET H. AULL, EDiToL WDILSh, JULy 5,1893. The Herald and News is truly thank 1 that the primary election in this county last Thursday was so quiet and that everything passed off in such a good natured way. There was no reason why it should have been otherwise, but sometimes people get their passions and prejudices stirred. The two gentlemen who were the only candidates were good friends be fore and during the canvass and the election and are such still. There are no sores left and the people all accept the result and are satisfied. There is no use to try to find the causes. Sufficient in this matter to deal with results. Mr. Mower, the nominee, is a young man, well equipped fer the difties that wll'devolve upon him, and we feel as sured he will meet the responsibilities and duties of the position with a con aientious fidelity that will redound to the credit of those whom he shall rep resent and be an honor to himself. He will in. fact be a representative of all the people and in the discharge of his duties will know no faction. But to say this to those-who know him is use Our recolleetion of the constitution of the Democratie party of the State Is that It requres all nominations to be made byprimary election, yet we see _that - down in Clarendon they have gone to the convention plan. They had better be careful or they will get back to the "old ring methods." The Herald and News desires to say to its esteemed contemporary at Pros perity that we remembered the 29th, and so did the voters of Newberry Coiihty. It is always a source of satis f6ction and gratification to know that one's kindly words of advice are leeded. The esteemed Register, speaking of the elections in other counties, says, as advice to its friends: "No Newberry tactics, all due deference to the judg ment and wisdom of the Newberry leaders being given, for those tactics will not bring success." Now, come, what's the matter with Newberry? We were as quiet and i docile as lambs. Never a once did we & sayaword. It was you and the es teemed eotemporsry at Prosperity that gave advice freely and sounded the rallying cry. And we don't want you tcome now casting any reflections or S maing any insinuations on Newberry. There will be no taint of ring meth ods about theselection of the Reform candidate for Governor.-Register. This is truly refreshing information ad we make a note of it so that we may remember it when the time for selection of a candidate comes. The Herald and News is truly sorry that the esteemed Register is seeing so I: many scarecrows. It sees politics in the reunion of old veterans held at Greenwood yesterday several days be fore the meeting takes place. Senator Butler as one of the veterans was in -.vited, and the Register thinks it is to. play the old soldier dodge to help the Senator politically. Anybody or any -< thing so fearfully suspicious must be awfully uncomfortable. Console your solb patience. -Several Dispensary lawsuits are -' brewing. They will be onbefore long,l we presume. We notice that Mr. C.S. Netties, an ardent administration man, if we mistake not, is the attorney in One ofthe cases against the State. President Cleveland has ordered an extra session of Congress for August '7. We hope this will give confidence in the money market and that business ~-Cwill brighten up. If the Democratic -partyis going to do anything for the relief of the people, the quicker they do it the better. The party will have control of all branches of the govern ment. A SHOET OUTING. The ZEior Takes a Bun to Richmond, Va. -Some Notes by the Way. Having been half in bed and half out for near two months, on Friday, 21st of June, I felt that a briefouting might be beneficial. I left via the Coast Line for Richmond, Vs., my object being to combine business with pleasure. This is a quick, pleaant, and comfortable route North. You leave Newberry at 2.45 p. m. and next morning at 3 a. m you se in Richmond. The trip was uneventful. I had been to Richmond before and was anx ious to be there at the interment cere * monies of President Davis, but wa% prevented by sickness. I soon- met several Newerry people and felt very much at home. The Rle,r. Mr. Fair and family are living there and then my friends Mr. and Mrs. L. W. C. Blalock are now residents of Rich mond. My young friend Rev. Jno. C. Seegers is pastor of the first English Lutheran church. All these former Newberrians and South Carolians are doing well in their new homes. Richmond and vicinity are full of historic interest. Around about there were the scenes of some of the hardest fought battles of the war. Then it was the capitol of the Confederacy and now it is the last resting place of the first, last, and only president of a nation whose cause was just, but whose ex istence was short lived. In company with Mr. L. WV. C. Bla lock, Mr. Adger Fair, Mrs. Blalock and MissDodie FairlI went out to Seven Pines, the seat of one of the bloodiest battles of the late war. In walking over this battlefield it occurred to me if I had there with me Captain Drayt. Smith, Sheriff Riser, or Treasurer Boyd, or some other veteran who had been to the front in battle, I could have learned something of the position of ibe different armies and so forth. The embankments tbrown up for breast works are plainly visible, but there is a full growth of pines and except the breast works and the graves in the national cemetery there are no evidences of the bloody battlefield. No doubt upon the field, with no stone to mark the place, many a soldier lies wrapt in no other shroud save the bloody uniform in which he fought and died for the cause he be lieved to be right. A gentleman- at this place, who claims to have a lot of war relies, has what he says are the hair, some of the bones, the thimble, knife, and some other things that were the property of the youngest soldier of the Confederate army. He was a Texas youth -and oply 14 years old when he fell in this battle. This man claims that he dug up these remains and relics only a year or two ago. He also has the ball which he took from the head and which is supposed to have killed the youthful soldier. The re mains were placed in beautiful Holy wood. Whether this tale is true or not I do not know. Speaking of Hollywood, I also had the pleasure, in company with Mr. Blialock and Rev. Jno. C. Seegers, of a drive through this beautiful city of the dead. I visited, of course, the grave of President Davis. It is a lovely place, on a high eminence overlooking the city. It is on the banks of the James, and the view of the city and the sur rounding country is very fine. There are many other places of in terest in and around Richmond, but I will not bore the reader longer. I had a very pleasant trip. Reached home Thursday (remembering the 29th) in time to vote. E. H. A. AN EXTRA SESSION ORE ERED. The President's Proclamation Calling 0cigress Together-Reasons Why this Action has been Taken. WASHINGTON, June 30.-The Presi dent this evening issued the following procl.mation: EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, D.C., June 30, 1893. Whereas, distrust and apprehension concerning the financial situation which pervade all business circles, have already caused great loss and damage to our people,,.nd threaten tocrippleour merchants, stop the wheels of manu facture, bring distress and privation to our farmers and withold from our workmingmen the wages of labor. And, Whereas, the present perilous condition is largely the result of the financial policy which the executive branch of the government finds em bodied in the unwise laws which must be executed until repealed by Congress: Now, therefore. I, Grover Cleveland, President of the United States, in per foriiance of the constitutional duty, do by this proclamation, declare that the extra-ordinary occasion requires the convening of both houses of the Con gress of the United States at the Capi tol in the city of Washington on the seventh day of August next, at 12 o'clocknoon, to the end that the people may be relieved through legislation from the present and impending danger and distress. All those entitled to act as members of the fi rty-t hird Congress are required to take notice of this proclamation and attend at the time and place above mentioned. Given under my hand and the seal of the United States at the city of Washington, on the 30th day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thou sand eight hundred and ninety three, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and seventeenth. (Signed.) ~GRoVER CLEVELAND. TILLliAN AND THE ALLIANCE. The Coming Annual Meeting of the Order at Waihafla LThe State,83d.) The meeting of the State Alliance will be held at WValhalla on the 29th inst., and it will be the beginning of the great political campaign of next summer. The Alliance will assemble at Clemson College on the 28th, whei-e its members will be shown over the buildings and given a good time. The next day they will proceed to WValhalla for the business meeting. Governor Tillman will probably tell the Alliance men when at Clemson what he pro poses to do about aceeding to their de mands in regard to national issues, so that the Alliance will know how to act on the day following. The meaning of this has already been explained by a prominent Al lanceman in an interview published in this paper. If Governor Tiliman should refuse to accede to the Alliance's demand, it will, on the day following, cast around for a president who will make a suitable candidate f>r the United States Senate. For this reason there is at present a great deal of uncertainty as to whom the Alliance will choose as its president. There are a great many names men tioned' but the man who would fit, in case the Alliance wishes to put up a third candidate, is yet to be found. THE STATE'S TEACHERS. At the Southern Educational Association Meeting and World's Fair. The followirig announcement is made. It shows what South Carolina's teachers can do when they want to: "On Monday, July 10, a select party of leading teachers and their friends, about one hundred, will leave Colum bia over the Richmond and Dan ville Railway for Louisville and Chicago to attend the annual meeting of the Southern Educational Association at the former place and the Woild's Fair at the latter. "Two weeks will be spent in Chicago. Stops will be made at Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Mammoth Cave, Nash ville, Chattanooga and Spartanburg, where te State Teacher's Association meets August 2-4. The trip ean be made for $75. Genial friends will enhne the pleasures of the party. Those who leave with the party can use their plea.sure about stopping and returning. The party will be in the especial care of Professor P. E. Rowell, editor of Pal metto Teacher, who has had expe rience in such matters. "Write him at Lexington, S. C., for full particulars." MRS. DATIS AND MRS. GRANT. The Parting Between the Two Widows 1W as Very Afrectionate. CRANsTONs, N. Y., July 3.-Mrs Jef ferson Davis, her maid and Miss Win nie Davis departed from Cranstons at 7.30 this morning, over the New York Central. They go direct to Naragan sett Pier, where they will remain dur ing the season. All th-e guests of the hotel, including Mrs. Grant, took their leave of Mrs. Davis last light. The parting between Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Davis was very affectionate indeed. Mrs. Davis and party, in company with Miss Mary D). Pell, drove to West Point and witnessed the parade last evening. After tbeir return to the hotel, Mrs. Davis remained in the large parlor during the entire evening, and sat conversing with Mrs. Grant most of the time. WHAT THE RESS SAYS. All Sorts of Comments from the Press of the; State on the Newberry Election. The election held in Newberry Coun ty last Thursday, seems to have been watched with considerable interest throughout the State. In order that the readers of The Herald and News may know what they are saying of us we reprint the various press comments irrespective of their politics : FOOD FOR REFLEC1ION. [Register.] Dr. Wyche has been beaten for the Newberry State Senatorship. The Newberry Reformers have only theni selves to reproach for the defeat of their candidate. Personally, Mr. Mower, the successful candidate, is irreproach able. But politically he is not in ac cord with the Reform cause. He will take a high rank in the Senate, will speak with ability and vote as his con science dictates. But his conscience is an anti and not a Reform conscience, and it will lead him to vote against the wishes of the Reformers, who are a majority of the white voters of the State. Several causes combined to socure defeat for Dr. Wyche. They wt-re: 1. Dissatisfaction with the mode of Dr. Wyche's "suggestion." 2. Apathy induced by the afore mentioned dissatisfaction. 3. The great ease with which the town people, who are mostly Mowerites, could vote, their boxes being handy. 4. The difficulty for farmers to reach their boxes out in the country. 5. The fact that the farmers are ex ceedingly busy with their crops at pres ent. The antis will be very much encour aged by this slight success, and will take it as an omen of future victory. It will incite them to put forth re doubled efforts, if that be possible. This is one vote sacured for Butler,. but he need not rejoice over it, for it is not a drop in the bucket. Reformers in every section of the state should carefully consider cause 1 as stated above. Similar causes pro duce similar effects. This is a well es tablished rule in politics as well as else where. Reformers should see to it that similar causes are not allowed to oper ate anywhere else,.neither in county nor State affairs. This is a warning and a lesson. Let it be heeded cr the result will be sad. ' DEFEAT WILL STRENGTHEN AND SO LIDIFY. [Sumter Herald.] G. S. Mower. the Anti candidate, de feated Dr. C. T. Wyche, the Reform cahdidate, by a majority of about one hundred. We are not all surprised at this result, but it is just as we expected. Newberry County is close anyhow, there being a difierence of only 300 or 400 votes between the two factions of that county. June is no time for a pri mary, as the farmers, who constitute the bulk of the Reform strength, are now too busy in their fields to enter into a political canvass with the earn estness necessary to insure success. Then, as usual, the Reformers were hampered with some who were after revenue and office only and who at heart cared nothing for the success of the Reform movement, except as their rsonal ambition could be gratified. Vhen these were cast overboard, tney threw what strength they had ~with the opposition. The people of New berry in this off' year of election wisely used the pruning knife, and this defeat will strengthen and solidify them in the next campaign, and will prove of benefit not only to New berry, but to the entire the State. Continued success does not always neccessarily tend to strengthen, but rather, like the winter's fierce winds upon the oak, reverses and disapiointments hardens and toughens to a stronger growth. So in New berry, and in the whole State, the Reform movement will be greatly benefitted by ibis defeat. New berry is the only county where we expect defeat, and the other five cauntie .wherein legisla tive vacancies exist, 'vill all send true and tried Reformers to fill the vacant seats in the legislature. A CoNSERVAT]VE V.tCTORY. [Orangebug Enterprise.1 The Conservatives have won a no table vietory in Newberry County. Dr. C. T. Wyche, the Reform candidate, being easily beaten in the primary by Mr. Geo. S. Mower, the Conservative candidate. The election was a special one, or dered to fill the vacancy in the Sena torship from that county, created by the election of Senator Sligh as Rail road Commissioner. It will probably be said, and with muecb plausibility in sisted on, thbat the Reformers were busy looking after their grassy crops, and paid little attention to this by-election. However this may be, it must be con fessed that no eff'ort was spared by the Reformers to get out the full vote and secure the election of Wyche. The Columbia Register has been supporting the candidacy of W yche very earnestly -a fact which goes to show that the Reform leaders at the Capital looked with conceernl on the contest. Is this one of those straws that show the di-L recd ion of t he wind ? We will have to wait and see. But this much we know now, and that Col. Mower will make a god Senator, anid that the cause of Reform wvill be j'it as svfein his hands as it would ba'e bseen in the hands of the gentleman who o'ppure I him. WON TIHE FIGHT ON IlHS .MERtTS. [The State.] Dr. Wyche was nominated for Sena to: by the Tillmxanites, and announced I tiat if elected he .would vote against Butler for the United States Senate. Thc Administration organs tom-tomed for him as well as they could.. The Conservatives said nothing, but went ahead and voted. The election of Mr. Mower vindicates the wisdom of their policy. Either Newberry is an ti-Till man now or there are a good many Tillmaites there -who are mighty good judges of men and not inclined to be ossed. The election of Mr. George S. Mower as Senator for Newberry county is a gratifying indication that under nor mal conditions the people will do the right thing. Mr. Mower is well knowvn as a Conservative, and an attemplt was made by the Tillman organs to draw the factional line against him, but the Conservaiies re;used to respond in kind; and as there wvas no issue to arouse passion Mr. Mower wvon a quiet fight on his merits. He will prove to be the best Senator New berry has had for a long time. H is victory is one of general common sense and sober thought rather than one of faction. A STRONG MOvEMENT AGAINST CAUCUS RULE. [Greens ille Newrs.] There appears to be a strong move ent in Newberry county against cau cus rule. The result there is the ex pression of the judgment of the people. There would have been that same kind of expression last year in New berry and many other counties had it not been for the constant and violent appeals to prejudice and application of pressure of all possible kinds. It is not directly an administration defeat, although it does score a point for Butler in a kind of a skirmish pre liminary to next year's big fight. So far as we have observed the issue be tween Tillman and anti-Tillman was not generally made. The victory ap pears to be one of free thought and ac tion over caucus rule. In that sense it is important and the people of New berry deserve to be thanked and con gratulated by the people of the other counties of the State. .Aoher gatifying fact is that the forces of conservatism are evidently not dead or demoralized or surrendered since the defeat of last year. They are very much alive and full of fight. NO DICTATION. [Anderson Journal.] Geo. S. Mower, Conservative, was nominated by a majority of about 150 over Dr.Wyche, Tillmanite. The result is the outcome of the attempted caucus rule by the Tillmanites of that county, and shows that some of the people ob ject to being dictated to by the party bosses. THE ONLY QUALIFICATION. [Rock Hill Herald.] George S. Mower, Conservative, has been nominated for the State Senate from Newberry county by a good ma jority over his opponent, whose chief qualification seems to have been an un just opposition to Senator Butler. THE DISPENSAR' OUTLOOK Result of First Day Sales--Future Prospects Not Very Bright COLUMBIA, July 2.-Dispensary or no dispensary things are very quiet at the State capital, and no one would have any right to think that an un equalled and revolutionary law had just gone into effect. The people of Columbia are taking the matter phi losophically and have very little to say. There are some of the old topers who are, however, missing their usual morn ing cocktail. Up to this time they have found no general place where they can get a "nip" on the sly, or ortherwise. it is, however, currently reported that those who have managed to get the pass-word could this morning get their usual drink by paying the prica. It would hardly be expected that the blind tigers would show them selves quite so early. The "tigers" are, however, beginning to spy the land, and are making a careful inquiry as to where they had best make their at tack. It is practically impossible after the first day's experience of the dispensary system to even speculate on how It is going to work. It might, however, be interesting to study the figures for what they are worth and maY be in about a week something more definite can be had. The reports in the morning pa pers in regard to the dispensaries: Orangeburg, not ready for business. Abeville, no report. Lexington, afraid of Unites States license. None on band. Newberry, 110 sales at 2.5 cents c27 50. Lewiedale, no Federal license. Florence, no report. Darlington, operation prevented by injunction. Georgetown, no report. Aiken, no report. Greenville, not ready for business. Camddn, 110 pints at 40 cents; 2 do zen beer at 15 cents. Total $47 60. Edgefield, 45 sales, $18. Columbia bond not filed. Bome speculation may be had out of these figures, although they can hardly be expected to indicate the future busi ness of the state bar. For instance the aggregate sales vi the three counties given is $93; this -would make an aver age:of $31 to the county. If as has been estimated by Governor Tillman that the profits -would for the first year be $500,000 it would require an average sale of $11,500 per day for the state, or $400 per county per day. This is made upon an estimate of the sale of one million gallons of liquor at an average price of $3 50 per gallon, making the gross sale $3,500,000 on which the estimated profit to the state is to be *1 per gallon, and out of this the expenses of the detectiv,. service and distribution are to be paid. Taking the sales 'of yesterday asa basis, the.aggregate sales for twenty nine dispensaries would be $900, just $10,400 short of the estimated figures that are to give the State the $500,000 profit. The sales yesterday will just about pay operatingexpenses, counting the salary of the county dispenser at $1,000 perc year, rent, freight, clerical hire, etc. - It is for the present rather---libe ral to count upon twenty-nine cotin ties, as six counties, are entirely un der prohibitory laws, and York might, for all practical purposes, be so considered. Then the counties that will not have dispensaries will more than counterbalance those counties that will have more than one dispen sary. If things keep up as they have started it will be seen that the state has not such a bonanza as was expected, the money question having been made the most important in the entire matter. TH E RAIL ROADS AND THE DISPENSARY The Richmond and Danville Rail road has issued the following order to all its agents in regard to the handling of liquors: RICHMOND, Va., June 30, 1893. To agents and connections within the State of South Carohina: On and after July 1st, 1893, you will accept for shipment from your station to points in or beyond the State of South Carolina, no spirituous, malt, vinous or other intoxicating liquors, or any compound or mixture thereof by whatever name called, which will pro duce intoxication, unless accompanied by the formal certiticate of the State Commissioner attached to each and every package, as required by sections 2 and 6 of the act passed at the last ses sin of the Legislature of South Caro lina, and known as the "Dispensary Law.''" Shipments comning from points be yond the State must be tiansported and delivered as heretofore. All agents are strictly enjoined not' on any account to aid or abet know ingly any person in the sale of intox icating liquors, or in procuring the same in violation of the law. D. CA RDwELL, D. F. A., SOL H AAS, Traffle Manager, A. G. CRAIG, D. F. A. J. H. DRAKE, Gen. Freight Agt. J. M. CULP, Ass't Traffic Man'gr. The Columbia correspondent in yes terday's News and Courier, saysi A fter Governor Tillman had read the paragraph which reads, "Shipments coming from points beyond the State must be transported and delivered as beretofore," be said very promptly and emphatically: "The law is very plain and explicit, and we will see that it is carried out. Every agent who violates the law will be promptly put in jail, and we will give the railroads all of the chance it wants to try the issue. If we catch them delivering ivhiskey under such an order from the railroads the agent will be put in jail and the rail road indicted. It is not at all probable that these railroads will always stay in the hands of receivers and have a Judge who will cloak them. If the agents will do as the rules request, in form us, they will not be bothered in any way, but any employee who wil fully obeys that order will be arrested and put in jail beyond any qua'tion of a doubt. If the law is contrary to the Inter-State commerce law we are wil ling to find it out, but the railroads cannot go to jail for its employees. We do not want to enforce a law that is not right. To use a rather violent figure of speech the railroad agents will find themselves between the "devil and the deep sea." While the Richmond and Danville circular is the first that got into my hands there is very good rea son to believe that all of the railroads are going-in the same boat. The indi cations are at least decidedly in that way.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-Quite a sen sation has been created here in South ern circles by the arrest late to-night of E. Brooks Sligh, of South Carolina. A S1igh, it will be remembered, is the yoNg man who ran for Congress at the last election in the district which Thomas Jefferson Strait, of Lancaster, was successful. Some time ago Sligh swore out a search warrant against a Mrs. Emily J. Brazier, of this city. He alleged that Mrs. Brazier stole two trunks from him containing goods valued at $250. To-night two.. detect ives called at Sligh's lodgings and ar rested him on a cbarge of perjury. Mrs. Brazier declares that Sligh is guilty of "wilful and corrupt perjury." Sligh is equally positive of the truth of his offensive assertions. - He Is a young man of good standing here and is v ell liked all over town. He is employed as a clerk in the United States Senate. His friends have assured him of their sympathy. He is now confined in the first precinaatation house.
