THF MONEY WE WASTE. t Everybody in this country is talking a about hard times and really sometimes P 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 1 are correct: "The Americans who were howling r about the financial depression spent in the past twelve months $609,000,000 for t 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 v ho t talked economy to their wives and chil dren and prayed for the return of good times, managed to sciape up about $1,600:)0,000 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 bead of every family in the United States! "This money would pay all the ap- 1 propriations of a billion-dollar congress and leave enough to more than half pay the expenses of another such Congress. It would pay six times over for our au nual cotton crop. It would pay the cost of a long foreign war. It would feed and clotbe in a plain fashion every family in the union!" These are big figures for prosperous times, but what shall we say of them when everybody is crying hard times. In a great many other ways do we waste money. If we want to be rid of hard times we must learn to save. May be these figures will put some people to thinking. - It is for that reason that 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 good deal, but he "aint got nothing to say." He is getting out of State politics. Is Newberry to furnish a candidate 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 Refermer 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 ini State politics already. The Alliances are 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 meaning of his special. He thinks there is a eliquesomewhere about the State House in Columtbia. That is too bad. We had no idea that anything re sembling a ring could be found about a reform administration and for a high official reformer to be talking any such stuff is simply horrid and shocking. If Senator Irby will just wait awhile be will hear something drop, and it will drop with a dull thud. SJudge Witherspoon has decided a case that came before him at the last term of the court for New berry County which was an appeal from the decision of the County Comnmiisioners. 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 believej that the Laurens resolutions wc-re 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 that 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 Dispensary law to warrant them in withholding the revenue from the town, have they not sufficient evidence to make out a case 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 guilt y 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 t.o proc ecute violators of the law as it is the town? They are officers of the State. We suspect from the tenor of their report to the State Board of Control that they have no evidence of anly vilo 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 esto No 2? Well, hardly. LIVELY TI3IES AHEAD. I Under the Laurens resolutions we do ot see bow Gov. Tillman is to be hands ff. He is asked to appoint a number f persons and to take a general super ision of matters. Then, too, what is the use of the Sep ember primary. It will only be a farce nd those of us who are barred from articipation in the first or reform pri 2ary had just as well remain bands of$ a the September Convention. It looks s if the effort of the Laurens reformers to drive all who are not so-called re rmers to the general election. They re to be given no recognition in the omninations and the reformers will be ound to take whoever is put up by the aaders. Really we see no need of two primaries. We thought the idea of the primary was to give every onea chance o run for office and to vote as he !eased. But a large and respectable inority is to be cut off entirely from participation in making a choice of ,andidates, for the reformers, it mat ers not whether they are pleased or iot, must take whomsoever the leaders ay. Well, it all suits us very well, and our only purpose is to watch the battle and o tell the boys to go it. Then, the Laurens resolutions and he Irby letter do not please some of he boys about the State House. So ipon the whole we may look for lively ines. The Herald and News is not in the ight. It expects nothing and shall not ye disappointed. But it is really amusing to see what t dignified silence Gov. Tillman main :ais. It must be very hard for him to ae hands off for we really believe that lie 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 F2,0-70 for odium. These are re form times and we should not mind adding a few offices with big salaries. TILLMAN IN TIGHTS. Awkward Fix .f the Governor !n the Gu bernatorialitace-What is Said in Wash ington About Irby's Letter and the Recent Couference of the Anti Gary Condidates and Their Friends. [Special to News and Courier.] WAsHINGToN, January 15.-State Senator John Gary Evans has been- in Washington during the past two or three days, and it is understood that he is on his way to Br'"more to be treated for throat troubi.. While in this city he naturally mingled with several of the South Carontna Cou gressmen, and as a matter of course State polhtics were discussed. Without betraying contidence I am justified in saying that all of the Rep resentatives- of the "Reform" D)emoc racy here do not endorse the senti ment or the spirit of Senator Irby's recent letter to the State press on the Lauens Convention. Some of the most ardent "Reformers" here depre cate the action of Senaitor Irby in this instance and do not hesitate to say he has acted unwisely. Some of the gen tlemen with whom I conversed on this subject stat.ed that Capt. Shell, while having announced his intention to retire from politics, has been urged to o to the front and call a meeting of the Gubernatorial Convention early in March or April. 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 Tillman was considered. It is further said thbat 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. What reply the governor made to those who approached him on this suibject 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 tonished at receiving orders from those whom he supposed were his blind fol lowers. It appears that Senator Irby was not fully advised of the position of Capt. Shell and his immediate friends until after the above mentioned conference was held, and some of his friends in sinuate that Capt. Shell outgeneralled the wily junior Senator. Governor Tillman seems to be placed in an awkward attitude by the conflict ing interests of Senator liby and ('-pt. Shell. The Governor has his eye fixed anxiously upon Senator Butler's chair in the Senate, and he probably realizes that he will need the combined strength o~ the "Reformers" and other elemients in the Legislature to reach trae goal of his 'ambition. He cannot afford to quarrel with leither Senator Irby or Capt. Shell, hence he is probably ren dered uncomfortable by the muzzle he has been directed to put on while the controversy ovr the Governorship is pending. Those "Reformers" who are now in WVashington hesitate to commit them selves as to their choice for Governor at thbis stage of the game. Some of them are favorably inclined to Ellerbe, while oters 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. rhe Resignation of Professor Newman and the Cause For it. [From the Register, 13th.] It has been known for some time that there was little harmony between the Board of Trustees and President Craighead ou one side and Prof. J. S. Newman, Professor of Agriculture, on the other. Exactly what brought aout these strained relations is not known, as the memnbcrs of the board do not care to talk ou the subje -t. Finding that a lack of harmony in any )f the departments would be detri mental to the college, the trustees re juested the resignation of Prof. New man. The resignation was tendered s requested and was, of course, ac .septed. It will take e.ffect on the 1st f February. A committee of three was appointed to select a suitable man to fill the vacancy. The committee will report to the next meeting of the boardl, whicb will confirm or reject the selection as it thinks proper,. Professor Newman has been with the college al most since work begani on the build igs. He came to this State from the Auburn, Ala., Agricultural College, in wvhich he held a position similar to the >ne at Clem oni. He is a valuable mian td the board knew it, but preferred hat every person connected with the ostitution should work together as A LETTER FROMt SENATOR IRBY. .- fi He Declares His Position in R.egard to the tl Alliance, and Denounces an Alleged el Clique of "Reformers" In the State sl House, and Endorses the Lau- h rens Resolutions in Fall. a: [The State.J , 'WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 13, 1694.- o: As much as I dislike to appear in print ie in South Carolina, I feel constrained at h1 this time, in justice to myself and the d Ailiancemen of Laurens, to speak out. k i have been bounded, persecuted and tl misrepresented by Kohn, a representa- a tive of the News and Courier in Colum- I bia, until forbearance has ceased to be F a virtue. I have had thrown into my teeth my position as chairman of the e Democratic party by this man, and my - failure to harmonize the faction I n represent, until it is necessary that t the people of the State shall know the truth. lie, with a lot of enemies of mine so-called Reformers-in theState House, o undertook to manufacture a sentiment o against me in the campaign of 1892 by I constantly publishing in his correspon- i deuce, the Nrct that the Reformers were r anxious to be rid of me as their leader, j until Judge Ernest Gary, a member of I the committee, introduced a resolution r endorsing me unanimously by the exe- I cutive committee. t He has started the same thing again, I knowingly and maliciously saying that e I am to be deposed as Chairman, when t he knows that I was elected in Sep- I tember, 1S92, to hold until September, t 1894. I do not proprse 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 I will be thoroughly understood by all t 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 a 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 coml posed of the best men in our county. i They represent the Reform sentiment of our county. They do not intend- 1 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 Govern9r with a fair and square deal. The Alliance of Laurens passed these 1 resolutions witbout intending to help or injure anyone. They thought it was for the best interests of the Reform 1 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 l'eretofore 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 principles of the Alliance and every plank of the first March convention; and if corruption and treachery shall dominate this nmove ment, then, I suppose, honest men will have to take a back seat. W bat 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 LETTEB--STA TE H OUSE OFFICIA LS KNOW OF NO RING. COLUMBIA, January 14.-When a Ifew days ago in this correspondence the Ifacts in regard to the little war inside the ranks of the Reform party were given, supported by thbe editorial in thbe Cottomn Plant urging the cailing of a March Convention of the Reformers, in direct conflict 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 thbat thbose 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 fratkly confesses that he has enemies who are "so-called Reformers" in the State House and speaks of the State House Ring. No one knew ihat 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 unwarranted by anything that the cor respondent has done. The way all the facs as published tally with those in the card is suficient to show that no attempt was made to injure Senator Irb. 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 Senaor's card and each one wore a broad smile when they read it this morning. Those who are in the figh t 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 i-enator has put his foot into it very deeply; that ho 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 ay timie that anyone knows of about desposing him from the State chair masip. The bulk of the Reformiers, as stated the other day, were simply going ahead and use Congressman Shell 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 Iry, 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 who are opposed to the Senator, and many of the St2.te House eflicials who are said to be in the Ring, all talk very conservatively about the matter, and none of them would sling "mud" back at the Senator. TILLMAN SILENT, FOR 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 other 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, on the contrary, and he did not care to have anything to say for publication further than that lhe was attempting to run the tax department of the State Government, and was not messing in Superintendent of Education May ?ld said that he had been absent from ie city for some time and was not well zough prepared to have anything to y beyond to deny the'assertion that be ad or ever had anything to do with oy Ring. ] Secretary of the State Tindal said: "I ave been absent from the city till a w days ago, and was at the bedside Fa dying friend when this conference said to to have been held. I will -y, owover, that I have had nothing to o with Rings of any kind. I have no nowledge of any Ring of any kind at e State House. I have been present t o Ring conference that I know of. always, as you know, keep clear of igs." When I saw Mr. J. W. Bowden, the ditor of the otlcial organ of the State ,liiance, in which the suggestion was iade to place Congressman Shell at 3e head of the Reform-Alliance cam aign the coming year, he talked very reely and yet conservatively. He said: There isn't any Ring about it. The nly approach to a Ring that I know f in the Reform ranks was headed by ry. It was just his kicking and terfererence with matters that he had o business with. I don't mind saying ist here that most of the men that rby has been counting on as being his oost faithful friends are deserting him. don't know where be got his informa ion, but there was no set conference of teformers here. When the Reformers ome to the Capital tbey usually get ogether, and there's always more or mss talk. And that's about all there is o do." "Do you wish to say anything in eply to this card?" "No, I prefer to let him kill himself. f he makes a few more moves of that ;ind he will be the laughing stock of he entire State and etfectually ditch timself forever. I think that his attack u the State ollicials is absurd. Tbere's io Ring there against hint that I know f. The trouble with Irby is that he s a big man standing still, while the vorld revolves around him. He only ees what his narrow, contracted view )ermits him to see. I think his attack >n Ellerbe very unjust and wrong, without any foundation in fact. "I do not see how he can help refer -ing to Governor Tillman as being in he Ring too, for he sneaks of the State Eouse Ring. and it is pretty safe to say .hat nothing goes on about the State House that the Governor knows not of. [ did not think that Senator Irby vould cry out so soon in the campaign. En regarn to this suggestion of honest nen, well, that is a suggestion that every one naturally makes. All men tre considered honest. It's according to :ow you look at it. "Well, wha' do y.u think of the irticle as a whole." "I don't know what to say. Evident y the whole article shows he let his :emper get the best of him. It was un alled for, judging from the published acts be relies on for the. basis of it. I hink it a very good confession of eakness. No, I think he has depended :oo much upon the floating rumors to make serious charges that he cannot ustain. Nobody ever intended to ask im to resign the State chairmanship at I know of. It would likely have een done in September, however. No matter what comes the hulk of Reform mrs will more than likely go through he coming campaign under the leader ship of their own choosing." A good many others had something say to-day about the card, but their ssertions will serve better for publica :ion later on. SAILING UNDER FALSE COLORS. [mee-Holderm in Washington who have been A ppointed from this State, but who are not South Carolinians. (Special to News and Courier.] WASHlGTON, January 15.-Repre sentative MceLaurin threw a bombsbell into the Southb Carolina colony to-day by introducing a resolution calling upon the heads of all the executive de part ments for the names of all persons :redited to South Carolina employed in the Government service not on the classified list. Mr McLaurin has reason to believe that there are a number of persons emi ploed in the Government depart mnets who are unjustly charged up to South Carolina. He does not propose to make a bid for Federal patronage, but !ie believes that many South Caro inians are deprived of positions under the Government because that State's quota is filled by people who have no elaimn on the Palmetto State. His resolution is directed to every member f the Cabinet, and it requests that the names and salaries of those charged to outh Carolina be furnished. Rtoanoke Rioters Convicted. ROANOKE, Va., January 15.-The jury in the Hustings 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 tember 21. Smith was the negro who was caught by the moh 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 aii and in Davis's a fine of $100, and, a the others a nominal sum.
