ELBERT H. AGLL, 1 Proprietors. Wx. P. HOUSEAL, j ELBERT H. AULL, EDnoTR. THE MONEY WE WASTE. Everybody in this country is talking about hard times and really sometimes it does seem that times are hard. But it is a fact that the people of this coun try waste enough money every year to to keep bread and meat in the mouths of all the people. Here are some figures we copy from the Atlanta Constitution and they are gathered from some inter nal revenue statistics and we presume are correct: "The Americans who were howling about the financial depression spent in the past twelve months $609,000,000 for whiskey! "The same crowd spent in that period $617,268,460 for beer! "For cigars and tobacco they spent $275,750,000! "These grumblers and growlers who talked economy to their wives and chil dren and prayed for the return of good times, managed to sciape up aboum $1,600,000,000 for their common drinks and their cigars, and what their wines and brandies cost we may imagine! "This enormous sum, our correspon dent says, is more than our entire vol ume of circulation. It is $27 per capita more than the present per capita circu lation. It is $195 for each head of every family in the United States! "This money would pay all the ap propriations of a billion-dollar congress and leave enough to more than half pay the expensas of another such Congress. It would pay six times over for our an nual cotton crop. It would pay the cost of a long foreign war. It would feed and clothe in a plain fashion every family in the union!" These are big figures for prosperous times, but what shall we say of then when everybody is crying hard times. Ip a great many other ways do wE waste money. If we want to be rid o1 hard times we must learn to save. May be these figures will put some peoplf to thinking. - It is for that reason thal we give them. The tariff debate is moving along slowly in Congress. Gov. Tillman has gotten up on the fence. He is like the little boy that the calf run over. He may think a gooc deal, but he "aint got nothing to say.' He is getting out of State polities. Is Newberry to furnish a candidats for Governor? We hear so, and wE see no reason why she should not. Dr. Pope has been true to the Reform movement and a Reformer from the beginning. He is the Newberry mem ber of the State Executive Committee, but of course he will resign that when he enters the race for Governor, WE suppose. Things are getting lively in State politics already. The Alliances art passing resolutions and the campaign is opeaing up. There is nothing like having a little politics on board every now and then. Mr. Irby seems angry. Just what he is driving at we do not know. We have no time to study the hidden mneanin2 of his special. He thinks there is a clique somewhere about the State Rouse in Columbia. That is too bad. We had no idea that anything re sembling a ring could be found about a reform administration and for a high2 official reformer to be talking any such stuff is simply horrid and shocking. Il Senator Irby will just wait awhile he will hear something drop, and it will drop with a dull thud. * Judge Witherspoon has decided a case that came before him at the lasi term of the court for Newberry County which was an appeal from the decision of the County Commiisioners. He sus tains every point of the appeal and overrules every position taken by the commissioners and yet grants the com missioners a new trial. It is rather a queer decision. He takes the ground that the commissioners possibly did not take the evidence they should. There will likely be an appeal from his decision to the Supreme Court. It is said that a Dispensary is to be established at Chapin on the C. N. & L, railroad. There will be plenty of them all over the State now. The Register seems to be bouncing upon Senator Irby and does not favor the Laurens idea. We do not believe that the Laurens resolutions were in the interest of Mr. Gary Evans, though we do not know. There are others who want to be Governor who are not members of the Alliance and yet are great Reformers. Some of the numerous Reform can didates for Governor will be asking themselves after awhile thbat old ques tion: "Where am I at?" And echo will answer, "Where?" If the County Board of Control has sufficient evidence that the town coun cil of Newberry is not enforcing the Disensrylaw to warrant thbem in witholingthe revenue from the town, haethey not sufficient evidence to maeotacase against the "blind tiger" and beard him in his lair and bring him up to be dealt with accord ing to law? If they have this evidence and do not take out the warrant and have the prosecution begun, are they not guilty of compounding a felony, if it is their duty to have these violations stopped? If they have not this evidence how can they withhold the revenue from the towns? Is it not as much their duty to proQ ecute violators of the law as it is the town? They are officers of the State. We suspect fr om the tenor of their report to the State Board of Control that they have no evidence of any vio lations of the Dispensary law ini New-. berry, though they may hear rumors of such violations, but rumors are not evidence. Now, that the matter is settled, we hope that everything will move along smoothly in Newberry. The next Governor of South Carolina will be a farmer, and don't you forget that. ________ Will Gov. Tillman have "something to do" with the writing of Shell mani festo No e? Well, hardly. LIVELY TIMES AHEAD. Under the Laurens resolutions wedo not see how Gov. Tillman is to be hands off. He is asked to appoint a number of persons and to take a general super vision of matters. Then, too, what is the use of the Sep tember primary. It will only be a farce and those of us who are barred from participation in the first or reform pri mary had just as well remain bands off in the September Convention. It looks as if the effort of the Laurens reformers is to drive all who are not so-called re - formers to the general election. They are to be given no recognition in the nominations and the reformers will be bound to take whoever is put up by the leaders. Really we see no need of two primaries. We thought the idea of the primary was to give every one a chance to run for office and to vote as he pleased. But a large and respectable minority is to be cut oft entirely from a participation in making a choice of candidates, for the reformers, it mat ters not whether they are pleased or not, must take whomsoever the leaders say. Well, it all suits us very well, and our only purpose is to watch the battle and to tell the boys to go it. Then, the Laurens resolutions and the Irby letter do not please some of the boys about the State House. So upon the whole we may look for lively times. The Herald and News is not in the fight. It expects nothing and shall not be disappointed. But it is really amusing to see what a dignified silence Gov. Tillman main tains. It must be very hard for him to be hands off for we really believe that he loves a contest. We do not believe that he can hold out without taking a part. Let the battle proceed, but look out for squalls when Shell manifesto No. 2 is issued. Representative Yeldell is special in spector of the dispensaries. It is a new office and he only gets $1,800 a year. That is a very small salary for such onerous and laborious duties as he will have to perform, and there is nothing put on it for the odium attached to the business. He should have had at least $2,500-$700 for odium. These are re form times and we should not mind adding a few offices with big salaries. TILLMAN IN TIGHTS. Awkward Fix of the Governor !n the Gu bernatorialKace-What is Said in Wash ington About Irby's Letter and the Kecent Conference of the Anti Gary Condidates and Their Friends. [Special to News and Courier.] WASHINGTON, January 15.-State Senator John Gary Evans has beeu in Washington during the past two or three days, and it is understood that he is on his way to Baltimore to be treated for throat trouble. WVhile in this city be naturally mingled with several of the South Carontna Con gressmen, and as a matter of course State politics were discussed. WW.hout betraying confidence I am justified in saying that all of the Rep resentatives -of the "Reform" Democ racy here do not endorse the senti ment or the spirit of Senator Irby's recent letter to the State press on the Laurens Convention. Some of the most ardent "Reformers" here derpre cate the action of Senator Irby in this instance arnd do not hesitate to say he has acted unwisely. Some of the gen tiemen with whom I conversed on this subject stated that Capt. Shell, wvhile having announced his intention to retire from politics, has been urged to go to the front and call a meeting .of the Gubernatorial Convention early in March or A pril. It is said that a con ference was recently held at Columbia in which Capt. Shell, Mr. Bowden and others participated, when the question of selecting a candidate to succeed Governor Tillmnan was considered. It is further said that Governor Till man was given to understand that he must "keep hands off" in the approach ing contest over the Governorship if he expects to receive the united sup port of the reform element in his strug gle with Senator Butler for the Senate. Whbat reply the governor made to those who approached him on this s'ibject cannot be ascertained at this writing, but it is understood that, having played the role of dictator in the State for several years, he was somewhat as ton ished at receiving orders from those whom he supposed were his blind fol lowers. It appears that Senator Irby was not fully advised of the positiop of Capt. Shell and his immediate friends until alter the above mentioned conference was held, and some of his friends in sinuate that Capt. Shell outgeneralled the wily junior Senator. nGovernor Tillman seems to be placed ianawk~ward attitude by the conflict ing interests of Senator Irby and C-pt. Shell. The Governor has his eye fixed anxiously upon Senator Butler's chair in the Senate, and he probably realizes that be will need the combined strength of the "Reformers" and other elements in the Legislature to reach the goal of his ambition. He cannot attoird to quarrel with leither Senator Irby or Capt. Shell, hence he is probably ren dered uncomfortable by the muzzle he has been directedi to put on while the controversy over the Governorship is pending. Those "Reformers" who are now in Washington hesitate to commit them selves as to their choice for Governor at this stage of the game. Some of them are favorably inclined to Ellerhe, while others consider John Gary Evans the natural successor of Governor Tillman at Columbia. Their calculations are of course based upon the theory that the element now controlling the State will continue in power. THE TROUBLE AT CLEMsON. The Resignation of Professor Newman and the Cause For It. [From the IRegister, 13th.] It has been known for some time that there was little harmony between the Board of Trustees arnd President Craighead ou one side and Prof. J. S. Newman, Professor of Agriculture, on Ithe other. Exactly what brought about these strained relations is riot known, as the membors of the board (d0 not care to talk on the subje -t. Finding that a lack of harmony in any of the departments would be detri mental to the college, the trustees re quested the resignation of Prof. New man. The resignation was tendered as requested arid was, of course, ac eepted. It will take effect on the 1st of February. A comnmittee of three was appointed to select a suitable man to till the vacancy. The committee will report to the next mneeting of the board, which will confirm or reject the selection as it thinks proper.' Professor Newman has been with the college al most since work began on the build ings. He c-amne to this State from the Auburn, Ala., Agricultural College, in which he held a position similar to the one at Clemi on. He is a valuable mran and the board knew it, but preferred that every person connected with the institution should work together as A LETTER FROM SErATOR IRBY. He Declares His Position in Regard to the Alliance, and Denounces an Alleged Clique of "Reformers" In the State House, and Endorses the Lau rens Resolutions in Full. [The State.j WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 13, 1594. As much as I dislike to appear in print in South Carolina, I feel constrained at this time, in justice to myseif and the Alliancemen of Laurens, to speak out. I have been bounded, persecuted and niis:epreented by Kohn, a representa tive of the News and Courier in Colum bia, until forbearance has ceased to be a virtue. I have had thrown into my teeth my position as chairman of the Democratic party by this man, and my failure to harmonize the faction I represent, until it is necessary that the people of the State shall know the truth. He, with a lot of enemies of mine so-called Reformers-in theState House, undertook to manufacture a sentiment against me in the campaign of 1892 by constantly publishing in his correspon dence, the tNct that the Reformers were anxious to be rid of me as their leader, until Judge Ernest Gary, a member of the committee, introduced a resolution endorsing me unanimously by the exe cutive committee. He has started the same thing again, knowingly and maliciously saying that I am to be deposed as Chairman, when he knows that I was elected in Sep tember, 1892, to hold until September, 1894. I do not propr e to surrender the Chairmanship:of the Democratic party until my term of office is out, for rea sons which are to the interest of the Democratic party; and I hope that this will be thoroughly understood by all the parties interested. In the second place, I notice both anti-Reformers and Reformers in Co lumbia have been misrepresenting the objects and intentions of the Alliance of Laurens, in its meeting on lastiFri day a v e,k ago. To begin with, I en dorse every word and sentiment of the resolution introduced by Mr. J. Andy Jones as to the line of policy to be pur sued by the Reform movement in South Carolina. The county Alliance is com posed of the best men in our county. They represent the Reform sentiment of our county. They do not intend and it is very well for some gentlemen of the State House to take notice right now-to have a lot of men foisted upon them without their consent. Reform movement or no Reform movement. There can be no objection, except by men who propose to take advantage of the people of South Carolina, to the postponement of the calling of the con vention, or to the other purposes of these- resolutions. I know it did not suit the convenience of the clique of the Reform movement that met on Friday night in Columbia to name a candidate -a farmer, but not an Allianceman, and opposed to the Ocala demands, who undertook to increase the taxes of the farmers-and that this convention be postponed, for he is not in sympathy with the people and the people will not have him for Governor with a fair and square deal. The Alliance of Laurens passed these resolutions without intending to help or injure anyone. They thought it was for the best interests of the Reform movement, and that the Reform faction should, at least, be allowed to choose its nominees, without interference or dic tation from any man, high or low. I am sorry to see that these men of Lau rens are to be mistreated by insinua tions and innuendoes from persons whose political conduct heretofore has been such as to bring in question, at least, their loyalty to the Reform move ment. Mr. Editor, I want you and others in South Carolina to understand that every effort of mine has been and will be in the interest and for the perpetu ation of this movement. I am going to stand fearlessly by the prin ciples of the Alliance and every plank of the first March convention; and if corruption and treachery shall dominate thbis miove-1 ment, then, I suppose, honest men will have to take a back seat. What the people of South Carolina want is honest men, nominated in an honest way, by delegates selected in an honest manner. Very respectfully, J. L. M. IRBY. ECHOES FROM THE IRBY LETTER--STATE H OUSE OFFICIA LS KNOW OF NO RING. COLUMBIA, January 14.-When a few days ago in this correspondence the fats in regard to the little war inside t be ranks of the Reform party were given, supported by the editorial in the Cotton Plant urging the calling of a March Convention of the Reformers, in direct confiet with the suggestion of Senator Irby's Alliance at Laurens, and. suggesting Congressman Shell as the man to manage the Alliance or major ity wing campaign, no one had any idea t bat those facts would so soon be substantiated by Senator Irby himself. Yet such substantiation comes to-day in his card published in the several newspapers over his signature. He frankly confesses that he has enemies who are "so-called Reformers" in the State House and speaks of the State House Ring. No one knew that it had gone so far as that, but Senator Irby's own statement in regard to it will undoubtedly be taken. His attack upon the correspondent of The News and Courier is generally considered here as unwarrant ed by anything that the cor respondent has done. The way all the facrs as pub)lished tally with those in the card is sufficient to show that no attempt was made to injure Senator Irby. But the correspondent is absent from the city to-day and nothing needs to be said. BROAD SMILES AT THE STATE HOUSE. The politicians about the Capital to day are talking of nothing else but the S'ator's card and each one wore a broad smile when they read it this moring. Those who are in the fight against the Senator smiled when they saw it till their faces wore a broad grin. It was a grin of satisfaction. The gen eral impression is that the senator has put his foot into it very deeply; that he allowed his personal anger and spleen to get away with his judgment, and that he will soon find himself ditched. Nothing has been said recently or at any time that anyone knows of abou~t desposing him from the State chair masip. The bulk of the Reformers, as stated the other day, were simply going ahead and use Congressman Sell and his committee as a campaign committee to engineer the campaign. But the Cotton Plant explained all that very thoroughly. No one here abouts has any malice against Senator Irby, so far as your correspondent can ascertain. The Reformers who are op. posed to him now are opposed to him and his friends on political grounds only and would not hesitate to tell him s. Some of them openly say that they are tired of his leadership. A good many of the leading Reform ers whbo are opposed to the Senator, and many of the St->te House efficials who are said to be in the Ring, all talk very onservatively about the matter, and none of them would sling "mud" back at the Senator. TILLMAN SILENT, FOt ONCE. Governor Tillman had nothing what ever to say. H is private secretary tele phoned that the Governor was not mixed up in it and would leave the ther members of the "Ring" to speak for themselves. Comptroller General Ellerbe, against whom the Senator made a direct attack, said that the matter was not a personal one; that it was entirely impersonal, n the contrary, and he did not care to have anything to say for publication further than that he was attempting to run the tax department of the State Government, and was not messing in Sr.perintendent of Education May field said that he had been absent from the city for some time and was not well enough prepared to have anything to say beyond to deny the'assertion that be had or ever had anything to do with any Ring. Secretary of the State Tindal said: "I have been absent from the city till a few days ago, and was at the bedside of a dying friend when this conference is said to to have been held. I will my howover, that I have bad nothing to do with Rings of any kind. I have no knowledge of any Ring of any kind at the State House. I have been present at to Ring conference that I know of. I always, as you know, keep clear of Rigs." When I saw Mr. J. W. Bowden, the editor of the ofticial organ of the State Alliance, in which the suggestion was made to place Congressman Shell at the head of the Reform-Alliance cam paign the coming year, he talked very treely and yet conservatively. He said: "There isn't any Ring about it. The only approach to a Ring that I know of in the Reform ranks was headed by Irby. It was just his kicking and interfererence with matters that he had no business with. I don't mind saying just here that most of the men that Irby has been counting on as being his most faithful friends ..re deserting him. I don't know where he got his informa tion, but there was noset conference of Reformers here. When the Reformers come to the Capital they usually get together, and there's always more or less talk. And that's about all there is to do." "Do you wish to say anything in reply to this card?" "No, I prefer to let him kill himself. If he makes a few more moves of that kind he will be the laughing stock of the entire State and effectually ditch himself forever. I think that his attack on the State otlicials is absurd. There's no Ring thereagainst hin that I know of. The trouble with Irby is that he is a big man standing still, while the world revolves around him. He only sees what bis narrow, contracted view permits him to see. I think his attack on Ellerbe very unjust and wrong, without any foundation in fact. "I do not see how be can help refer ring to Governor Tillman as being in the Ring too, for he sneaks of the State House Ring. and it is pretty safe to say that nothing goes on about the State House that the Governor knows not of. I did not think that Senator Irhy would cry out so soon in the campaign. In regarn to this suggestion of honest men, well, that is a suggestion that every one naturally makes. All men are considered honest. It's according to how you look at it. "Well, what do you think of the article as a whole." "I don't know what to say. Evident ly the whole article shows he let his temper get the best of him. It was un called for, judging from the published facts he relies on for the basis of it. I think it a vrry good confession of weakness. No, I think he has depended too much upon the floating rumors to make serious charges that he cannot sustain. Nobody ever intended to ask him to resign the State chairmanehip that I know of. It would likely have been done in September, however. No matter what comes the hulk of Reform era will more than likely go through the coming campaign under the leader ship of their own choosing." A good many others had something to say to-day about the card, but their assertions will serve better for publica tion later on. SAILING UNDERt FALSE COLORS. Offiee-Hoders in Washington who have been A ppointed from this State, but who are not south Carolinians. [Special to News and Courier.] WASH I NGTON, Janunary 15.-Repre sentative McLaurin threw a bombshell into the Sout h Carolina colony to-day by introducing a resolution calling upon the heads of all the executive de part ments for thbe names of all persons credited to South Carolina employed in the Government service not on the classified list. Mr McLaurin has reason to believe that there are a number ot persons em plyed in the Government depart ments who are unjustly charged up to South Carolina. He does not propose to make a bid for Federal patronage, but he believes that many South Caro linians are deprived of positions under the Government because that State's quota is filled by people who have no claim on the Palmetto State. His reslution is directed to every member of the Cabinet, and it requests that the names and salaries of those charged to South Carolina be furnished. Roanoke Rioters Convicted. ROANOKE, Va., January 15.-The jury in the H ustings Court brought in verdicts to-day finding Walter Davis, Harvey Dow, Charles McDaniel and Joe Varilla guilty of misdemeanor in assisting at the burning of the body of Thomas Smith on the morning of Sep temt>er 21. Smith was the negro who was caught by the mob and lynched on account of his brutal treatment of an old lady, after the militia had fired upon and killed eight citizens before being ordered to disband. The sen tence passed upon each is one year in jail and in Davis's a fine of $100, and in the others a nominal sum. Davis was not present at the trial, he having been 'convicted on an indictment as a rioter and skipped the bail upon which he was liberated pending an appeal. Hood's Cures Annie L.
