ELBERT 11. AULL, p Proprietors. Wx. P. HOUSEAL, ELBERT H. AULL, EDITOR. A TIME FOR GOOD WILL. Before another issue of Tbe Herald t and News the Christmas tide will have t come and gone. It should be a time of a good will and peace and happiness. It t is the celebration of an event which t meant peace on earth and good will to men. It is the greatest and grandest a event in all history. The birth of Cbrist 1 is the greatest gift to man and in cele brating it we should not forget the im port and meaning of the day we cele- t brate. It should be a day of happiness and joy. There is no way in which we can enjoy the day more than by mak ing others happy. Let that be the idea ( that we have in observing the day and we will be happy ourselves. The Herald and News hopes it may be a day of happiness to its many readers. No doubt in many households when the family gather around the fireside t on this Christmas there will be a va cant chair. Some dear one will have been gathered to the hosts who have gone before. There will be sorrow and sadness in many households. But on this occasion let us remember the great sacrifire that was made for us, and re joice that ours is such a goodly herit age. The power that afflicts and brings sorrows has also power to drive away those sorrows and cares. We should put our trust in the hand that is mighty 1 to save. The angels that carried the good news of great joy to the shepherds on the t lonely plains of Judea bring the same glad tidings to us. Peace on earth, 1 good will to men. To you this day a Saviour is born. But if you would wear the crown you must bear the cross. The Christmas time should be one of : pure and happy joy and good will. Much space is given this week to legislative proceedings. It is difficult to tell yet what is or will be done. When a bill is thought to be dead it is taken up again and stands a good 1 chance of pps4age, as was the case of the redistricting bill. The dispensary law is so amended that until it is finally passed and signed we will scercely know what it is. The House started out to read the code, but now it looks '1 like taking back water. We have too much legislation any way. But we will try to keep up with it and give the various changes and new acts as they occur, so that our readers may keep the run. Mr. Blease, of Newberry, has been eactingas Speaker pro tem of the House. He presides with dignity. We commend General Hampton's dignified reply to Messrs. Stokes and Evans printed in this issue to those of our friends who have been unjustly criticising the old hero. It is dignified and manly and is free from bitterness I and abusee that have characterized most controversies in this State of'late. e The Supreme Court of the United States has decided the Swan case and sustains the decision of Judge Simon-I ton. Swan will have to go to jail for contempt or pay his fine. Gov. Till man thinks that his message had some thing to do with the decision of the t Supreme Court. Well, that is more i conceit than we thought the Governor , -was guilty of possessing. We doubt t very much if any member of the Sn- I preme Court has seen the Governor's r message. Neither do we think that I bis message had anything whatever to * do with the appointment of Judge 3 -Simonton. The Governor is a pretty c big man in South Carolina, but it is r most too much to claim that the Su- t prerme Court of the United States , would let his utterances to the South ~ Carolina Legislature have anything to t - do with them in rendering a decision i, on a question of law before them. His ~ will nor wishes does not have any effect upon them in any wise that we can see. But yet the Governor is quoted as saying: "I imagine my mess- r age had more to do with it than the law." sOME INTEREsTING FIGU7REs. S Below we give the tax levies sinces 1876. The tax payer can see how hist taxes have been reduced. It must be ~ borne in mind that the taxable property ' is constantly increasing and also that the State now has a monopoly in the whiskey business:C Year.

Under this change there masy be a State liquor shop put up iu every little town and then the board of control cadiput them in the country also if they should so desire. r Then to talk about this being a a step towards prohibition is sheer non sense. The dispensary has some good features, but unless public sentiment r changes very much the system will S only encourage blind tigers and they wiilflourish in spiteofthearmyofState e spies or constables. Good mena wille buy from the tigers and thus encour- a age violation of law and will feel they 2 are doing nothing wrong. To make the law effective public sentiment will have to change. The Salary reduction bill, they say, has passed. But it has not yet been ap- t proved by the Governor, a Commissioner Trailer's salary has l~ been increas~ed to $300. Why this is doine we do~ not know, unless it is to a rank this offlcer along with the Gov - rnor.j SOME EVIDENCES OF REFOBM. The voters of this county will re aember how they were told that their axes were too high, and that there was eed for reform and reduction of the bur lens of taxations. And how the reform noveinent was going to bring about .11 these thiugs and we were going to e made happy. Some people believed hat there had been extravagance and waste of the people's money and that here was really going to be a reduc ion of the burdens of taxation. The . eformers, with B. R. Tillman .t the helm, took charge of affairs in 890. They have had full sway since hat time. Now let us look at some igures taken from the county auditor's >ooks and see how the taxes have been educed. For the fiscal year beginning covember 1st, 1889, the assessed value >f all taxable property in Newberry ;unty was $4,331,095, and the tax evy was 5; mills; for tho fiscal year be ;inning November 1st, 1892, the assess d value of all taxable property was 4,826,966 and the tax levy was 5} mills. sot only has the levy increased under he beautiful workings of reform but be assessed value of all taxable pro >erty has increased nearly half a mil ion dollars. This shows that more noney has been taken out of the pock ts of the taxpayers. As the assess nents increase the levy ought to de ;rease unless those in power are spend. ng more money to run the govern nent. The levy for next year will be ither .5 or 5; mills, and for county >urposes will be 33 mills. This year .be county levy is only two and one ialf mills, though that was too low and ias caused a deficiency in the county ,reasury. We do not say that there has >een any misappropriation of the )ublic funds, but only desire to dem )nstrate by the figures, that when we old the people in the beginning of this eorm movement that all the fuss ibout extravagance and waste of the eople's money was only buncombe snd made to get votes, we were only peaking the unvarnished truth. The acts show that there has been no sav og or reduction of taxes, but if there ias been any change it has been to in .rease the expenditures. The people iave not been benefited by the change. 'here has not only been no reduction >f taxation and no evidence of any nisappropriation, and there has been o reduction of useless offices. On he other hand taxes have been in reased, offices have been added to and, n faet, the tax levy has reached the' ;ighest notch of any year since 1876, d all during an era of reform. But if he people are satisfied we can stand it. )ur only purpose is to let them know iow the facts and figures stand. "We deny that the likes or dislikes f a Governor has aught to do with he selection of judges."-Spartanburg ierald. Y?ou mean that the "likes and dis ikes" should not have anything to do ith the waking of judges. Experi ne in the recent past in South Caro na would lead us to the conclusion hat the "likes and dislikes" of Goev. ilman had a deal to do with making udges. The Legislature now has a bill on Its assage to establish the office of State irinter to be elected by the Legislature. he Register is advocating the new law ery strongly. Its proprietor now has be State printing. But a new contract tas to be wade for the next, two year., nd it is said that he has competition bat will wake the State printing cost ss. Really we see no reason for the ew office. As it is now, the work is t the lowest responsible bidder, and if ae one can do it for less than the egister we see no reason why this ther one should not have it. If the eform movement thinks it is necessary a have a paper to advocate its cause, nd that paper cannotlive without State id, why wake a direction appropria ion for it oat of the treasury. There Sno use to establish an office for which bere is no need simply for its benefit. The Register had such spasms over a amark of Senator Smythe to the effect bat there was an innate hatred in the nglo Saxon breast to a system of spies nd secret informers and detectives, ach as the present State liquor con abulary, that we are surprised to find e following headlines in that paper bout the same time these editorial con ulsions were being had: McDONALD ARRESTED. me of Tillman's Spies Charged with Trespass on the Alpha's Wharf. The headlines were put to an article pied from the Savannah News. The Register should be calied to ac unt for this unpardonable sin. We nnot have State officers spoken of in aiis way. traws that show the Way the Wind Is Blowing. To the Editor of The Herald and News: The ew York Times had a special dispatch from ckson, Miss., on Friday last, saying: "Siteen members of the legislature to fill va eies were elected yesterday. Several of the ections took place in the strongest Populist unties in the State, and the returns indicate that ery member chosen 's a Democrat. In Ponstoc id Attala, the two strongest Populist counties in se State. the opposition feght was against the 'ational Administration on the money question. he Democrats nominated strong Administra on men, who upheld the President on every ump, and they are both elected by decided ma srities." It will be remembered how completely the opulists were whipped out at the late elections iNovember. in every State where they dared ake a fight, in v irginia and Kentoeky by the emocrats, and in their two stroughoMls, Kansas :d Nebraska, by the Republicans, and even mong the Mormons, Utah electing a Republican gislature for the first time in her history. And ow the tide has reached Mississippi, where but tcently Popuilsm was rampant. Ought not these gs of the times to be encouraging to us even ere in south Carolina. where at present every ing looks so dark and gloomy? But without reful organization and hard work, we will of muse not succeed in throwing ofr Tillmanism: 2d, in the opinion of this writer, it is high time begin. X.

Wade Hampton Gives Reasons to the Alli ance Magnates-He Quotes the Ocala Platform to its Own Condemnation and Points Out its Anti-Demo cratic Features-A Strong and Cali Argument. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 16, 1893. Messrs W.D.Evans andJ. Wm Stokes. Gentlemen: I was out of the State when your open letter to me was pub lished, and I did not see it until a friend I sent to me a copy of a paper containing it, a few days before I left Columbia. 'his has been the cause of my delay in replying to .it, and I do so now with entire frankness. Let me say, before discussing the questions you propound, that I have never charged that Alliancemen were not Democrats, nor have I ever de nounced the Farmers' Alliance, though I do not agree with some oG the de mands announced in their platform. I am in full sympathy with every le gitimate effort to relieve the burthen of that great class-our farmers-a class to which I have always belonged, and I shall always co-operate heartily in any movement for their relief. It would make this communication toa long should I enter into a discus sion of all the questions you have asked me, so I shall endeavor to give my reason for saying that "No man who upholds the Ocala platform can prop erly claim to be a Democrat." In your letter you "summarize the several planks in the Ocala platform," but it strikes me that you have omitted in your summary some of the most in poit3nt planks in t iat platform, and in order that I may supply this omis sion on your part I subjoin the Ocala platform in full. As I have seen no modification of this declaration of the principles upheld by the party you rep resent, nor any repudiation of the doc trines enunciated, I take it for granted that this platform embodies the de mands and declares the creed of the Ocalaites. THE ORIGINAL OCALA PLATFORM. 1. (a) We demand the abolition of the National banks. (b) We demand that the Govern ment shall establish sub-treasuries in the several States, which shall issue money direct to the people at a low rate of tax, not to exceed 2 per cent per annum, on non-perishable farm pro ducts, and also upon real estate, witi proper limitations upon the quantity of land and amount of money. (c) We demand that the amount of the circulating medium be speedily in creased to not less than $5) per eapita. 2. We "demand that Congress shall pass such laws as will effectually pre vent the dealing in futures of all agri cultural and mechanical productions; providing a stringent system of pro cedure in trials that will secure prompt conviction, and imposing such pen alties as shall secure the most per feet compliance with the law. 3. We condemn the silver bill re cently passed by Congress, and de mand in lieu thereof the free and un limited coinage of silver. 4. We demand the passage of laws prohibiting the alien ownership of land, and that Congress take prompt action to 'Jevise some plan to obtain all lands now owned by aliens and foreign syndicates and that all lands now held by railroads and other cor porations in excess of such asis actually used and needed by them be reclaimed by the Government and held by actual settlers only. 5. Believing in the doctrine of equal rights to all and special privileges to none we demand (a) That our national legislation shall be so framed in the future as not to build up one industry at the expense of another. (b) We further demand a removal of the existing heavy tarifi tax from the necessities of life that the poor of our land must have. (e) We further demand a just and equitable system of graduated tax on ncomes. (d) We believe that the money of the country should be kept as much as pos sible in the hands of the people, and hence we demand that all national and State revenues should be limited to the necessary expenses of the Government economically and honestly adminis tered. 6.. We demand the most rigid, honest and just State and national govern mental control and supervision of the means of public communication and transportation, and, if this control and supervision does not remove the abuse now existing, we demand the Govern ment ownership of such meabs of com munication and transportation. 7. We demand that the Congress of the United States submit an amend ment to the Constitution providing for the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people of each tate. Now, I shall compare tbis platform with that of the National Democratic party, and I think that all intelligent ad impartial men will admit that the two platforms do not conform, and are in many most important principles antagonistic. Your platform demands "the aboli ion of national ban ks;" such demnand is not made by the Democratic party. It nay have escaped your memory, if you sver knew the fact, that these banks bold charters which will not expire until 1907, so that there would be some difficulty in the immediate "abolition af the national ban ks.' You demand "the establishment of sub-treasuries in the several States." Every lawyer of prominence whom I bave heard express an opinion on this proposition declares it to be unconstitu tional. The Democratic party can scarcely adopt an unconstitutional measure, and it seems to me that this ardinal demand might at least be called "a fallacy." You "condemn the silver bill recent ly passed by Congress, and demand in lieu thereof the free and unlimited oinage of silver." Is this demand in accordance with the Democratic plat Form? Your platform demands the owner ship of railroads and telegraph lines by the Government, under certain condi tions. When the people take into con sideration the fact that the amount of capital invested in railroads is twelve billions of dollars, and that the Govern ment would have to pay that enormous sum to secure possession of these roads, the proposition that the Government should purchase them-for I take it you would not advocate the confisca ion of this property-will strike all sensible people as a decided fiallacy. Should the policy advocated in this plank of your platform be adopted, the people of the country would be saddled writh a debt several times greater than that caused by the war, and the burthen of taxation, already too onerous, would p'aralyze all industries and entail ruin on the taxpayers. Your party has, I believe, placed it self in opposition to the repeal of the prohibitiory tax on State u>anke, and yet one plank ini the Democratic plat orm advocates this measure. Now, you must admit that your plat orm is not in accoi d with that of the Democratic party, and I think that I was fully justified in saying that no man standing on the Ocala platform could claim to be a Democrat. I do not question the patriotism of the men who agree-with you as to the true principles f Jeffersonian Democracy, but [ do not onstrue those prineiples as you do; yet [ have always regarded myself as al Democrat. There are several planks n your platform with which I concur, as does every truie Democrat, as, for in 'tance, your fourth and fifth questions., Your severth has a rather potent ob etion against its adoption. The Con titution prescribes the modeof electing [Jnited States Senators, and until three-! ouths of the States choose to change 5. P AND ENJ W6, WJ1J that mode the present method must obtain. I hardly think tbat the change will i be made in time to allow any of the present young aspirants of the Alliance to test their strength before the people. - However, I should not object to that test in South Carolina, and a primary, might possibly express the wishes of : our people as well, if not better, than the General Assembly; but I am quite content to stand in this matter, as in others, on the Constitution, where my2 party has always stood. You have, I suppose, read the Demo- c cratic platform, and if you comprehend it you must see how greatly it differs, from yours. Very many Democrats! think that the similarity of your plat form and that of the Populists is more marked than that between the Demo cratie and the Ocala. Your letter to me seems to have been brought out by mine suggesting the formation of Democratic clubs in South Carolina. As vice president of the National Democratic League I was asked to authorize the organization of these clubs, and I wrote to ascertain the wishes of the true Democrats in the State. It never occurred to me that any white man in South Carolina would be ashamed to join a Democratic club. Should there be any such, all can find their proper alignment, for the Republicans, the Populists and the Ocalaites all hold out allurements for recruits and proselytes. There was a time when it was the pride of our peo ple to hold an honorable place in the grand Democratic column as National Democrats, supporting their National Administration, and standing fast on the platform of the Democratic party. "Times have changtd, and we have changed with them." It is the fashion now to abuse our President, to ignore the platforms of our party, to proinul gate new and strange doctrines, and to worship false gods. I am too old to change my faith for place or for profit. I seek nothing at the hands of our peo ple; but I cannot forget that I am a South Carolinian, and my only ambi tion, my sole aspiration, is for the wel fare, the dignity and the honor of the State to whose service many of the best years of my life have been de voted. I have answered your courteous and respectful letter frankly, and it may be my misfortune to differ radically with the views you advocate, but I claim for myself, what I accord to you, perfect freedom of opinion and of action. I am, very respectfully yours, WADE HAMPTON. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COUNTY OF NEWBERRY COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. George McWhirter, Plaintiff, against J. E.
