The political situation in South Caro lina at this time is highly interesting and Immensely amusing. Reform is a great thing, and the number of leading and original reformers is likely to in crease. Here is the Greenville News claiming to have been one of the origi nil and simon pure Reformers away back yonder, and really thinks that it can now get down off the fence and work itself into the great and glorious movement. Here, too, is the State and the Spartanburg Herald actually chant ing the glories of reform and proclaim ing the virtues and abilities of certain leaders of Reform for the Governor ship. And the News and Courier is faintly and gradually getting over t here too. Only that this happy state of affairs could have been brought about long ago, how sweetly it would have been for brethren to have dwelt to getber'in peace. But we may be happy yet, you bet. The-Herald and News is not just yet ready to get down off the fence and whoop up any body. We are just now following Fagan Martin's advice to watch. As.we cannot give in detail the views of our esteemed contemporaries, we desire to take a somewhat general sur vey of the field and see if we can find just what we are really at, or where we will be when we fall off the fence. Last week, it will be remembered, that we asked if Newberry was to fur nish a candidate for Governor, and we said we saw no reason why she should not. Then right on the heels of that, here comes the State newspaper in a whole column editorial in the most fulsome praise and the strongest kind of an endorsement of our Newberry man for Governor. We do not under stand this, for it is known of all men that Dr. Pope will not only not read the State, but he will not touch or hand!e it. But another strange thing about this business is that while be will bai nothing to do with the State newspaper, he suffered himself to be Interviewed by one of its correspond ents, and announced his candidacy for Governor in this interview. We pub lish the intervi=w on our first page. These truly be strange times. Then we hear it whispered, too, that while Dr. Pope would not violate his pledge to have nothing to do with 'the State newspaper, yet that he might know what beautiful things it had said of r- " him, he got a friend to read aloud t0 him this editorial endorsement in ques tion, and we presume the interview Now.The Herald and News is noted for having a great deal of county pride. We are always delighted to see New berry men get there, whether they are personally fond of us or. not. It has been a long time since Newberry has furnished a Governor. In fact we be lieve the nearest she ever came to it was when she furnished Maj. Frederick Nance for-Lieuteriant Governor away back in 1808. And she has not been greedy in this particular. We have had very few candidates during that time for this position. It is getting abaut our time to furnish the man. We have plenty of them. Good re - formers too. As we stated last week, Dr. Pope has been a reformer from the beginning and there is one thing you can say to his credit, you generally know where he is at. But The Herald and News is not ready yet to get down off thie fence. Then, too, we want the man we tie to this year to ."git thar." The State newspaper has not been sue cessful in its advocacy of candidates in this State during its lifetime, and we are little afraid of, anything it takes hold of politically being a success. So we~will just wait awhile and watch. Talking about Newberry reformers, there is Railroad Commissioner Sligh. He is one of your original reformers, to'o, and a Newberry man. He has been mentioned in connection with the affice of Lieutenant Governor, with Senator Timmerman forGovernor. Now we object to this. Newberry will not submit to. being placed second on the ticket. Besides this Senator Timmier man would preside with such dignity and grace over the Senate that he should be permitted to have that honor. Be sides this, too, Mr. Sligh should not be *expected to give up the arduous and laborious duties of Railroad Commis sioner for the easy place of Lieutenant . Governor. If be is to be rotated, put -him where he will be able to do some thing for the movement. Reformers are not hunting for easy plaecs. Espe cially reform leaders. They want -po sitions where they can serve the dear people. Mind you, we ain't committed yet. We are waiting and watebing. But we are for a New berry man every tinie. That is when we come down off the fence. The Spartanburg Herald is whoop ing up John Gary Evans. It thinks he is the coming man. With the Evans bill and the Palmetto flaskI spread upon his banner, the Herald thinks he will be invincible. He is young and dashing, and no doubt im agines he would make a great Gover nor. But then he is a lawyer, and as he is young, we can promise hi m h is reward in the future and the reformers need a leader in the Senate, and when Stanyarne Wilson goes to Congress anid WV. D). Evans goes there too, and Sena tor Timmermnan rotates int:o the Lieu tenant Governor's chair, what will the Senate do for a Ieader? The Herald's maun is In the soup. It is well that yon published that beautiful speech of. yours, otherwise it would have been lost forever. Mr. Gary Evans will feel it his duty to remain in the Senate for there he can best serve the cause of re form. Then there is the Newvs and Courier pleading the cause of W. H. Ellerbe. In this the News and Courier has the backing of the Register, or it seems that way to a man on the fence. He is trying to make all of us rich when it comes to paying tax, and he can~ write circulars and send instructions to the auditors and treasni-ers. He is a farm-j er, too, but he b'elongs to that clique at the State House, and reform is bitterly opposed to rings of all ki ods. We have seen no endorsement by any of the big dailies or little weeklies of the Hon. James E. Tindal. Now he is a gubernatorial possibility, and is a reformer and a mighty nice man. Why should he.be thus treated. If The Herald and News were not so se curely entrenched in its position on the fence, we would whoop him up a little just to see how it would take. But then we are waiting and watching. The Greenville News came out in a strong endorsement of the greatness and goodness of Senator Irby and im mediately thereafter we hear of the editor in Washington where thera is to be a conferenoe of reformers. Now we do not understand all this and we think Editor Williams should make explana tion of this strange proceeding. We might go on and on trying to penetrate .this gloom and to unravel this tangled web, but the further we go the more bewildered we become. With Congressman Shell and Senator Irby pitted against each other; with March conventions and July conven tions and May conventions; with alli ance resoTutions and endorsements; with leading newspapers running around after strange gods and making such queer and inexplicable alliances; with candidates innumerable and un namable, who are willing to lead the people to the promised land of reform; with State House rings and cliques, and Washington conferences and cau cuses: with all this mess and muddle and mire, we admit that we are some what mixed and bewildered and con found^d and do not know just where we are at, and cannot see any way out of the difficulty unless Gov. B. R. Till man. that great man, with the brain and the nerve, will just consent to throw all precedent to the dogs and come to the fore once more, getting down off the fence, and lead the hosts of reform to victory. That is the only way we see out of it, and the only way we see to heal the breach. We hate to be deprived of his company on the fence, and only throw out these sug gestions in the interest of the great re form movement, and make no charge for them. And why should he not be Governor for a third term when we have the assurance of a great reformer in Newberry County that if he were made Governor for life, and the Legis lature abolished, we would have 365 Sundays in every year. But, dear brethren, it is no quarrel of oues. We are securely perched upon the top of the fence, and we are not yet ready to take up a tree or a sapling either. The situation is growing iuteresting. Our hope is that the people will begin to see the truth as it is, and know it and believe it when they see it. It is our further hope that they may ere long find out just where they are at. Governor Tillman has reached Wash ington and has been in conference with the Reform leaders. He is trying to pour oil upon the troubled waters. How far he will succeed remains to he seen.' Conflicting statements are being sent out, and it will be some time yet before we will know with just what success he is meeting in his mission. Tne Herald and News does not en dorse all the suggestions or opinions that are printed in its columns. Not by any means. When we think the time has come for us to take a tree or a sapling we will announce the fact so that you may know just where we are. Some of our friends from the coun try tell us that the people are very tired of politics. All we have to say is that we are very glad of it. We will only dose out a little every now and then. But they should put a quietus on some of the leaders of reform. How do you like the *suggestion of an "Up-Country Reformer"? It is a very hard matter to get up a ticket in this era of reform on which there is not a Newberry man. We can't say that The Herald and News is just yet ready to take on this ticket. You knQw we are yet on the fence. But we are always ready and willing to re ceive suggestions on any line. We are anxious to do that which will please the people. Let the ball continue to roll. With so much State politics in Washington we very much fear that our Congressmen and the junior Sen ator will not have much time to study the .tariff and the financial quiestions so as to know how to vote. They should be permitted, or permit them selves, to give a little time and atten tion to.the business the people elected them to transact. Gen. H. L. Farley is out in an in terview in tbe Augusta Chronicle on the political situation in South Caro lina. He does not express his prefer ence for Governor, but says he will be in the race for Congress from the 4th District. He will make it very lively for the other fellows over there who want to go to Congress. The Columbia Register has been re duced in size and the Columbia State increases its subscription price. The big dailies have as hard time to make ends meet as the little weeklies. The leaders have all rushed to Wash ington to ho-ld a caucus. When they get things fixed and the offices all parcelled out they will return and tell the people how to vote. That is libcrty and freedom and ring smashing with a vengeance. How about that ring or clique at the State House that the Register is sup. porting as against Senator Irby? Ac cording to the Abbeville MedIum we su ppose that we shall understand in the future that wben it talks about-the ring newspaper it includes the Regis ter. The Columbia newspaper men have been interviewing prominent alliance men who say they are for Butler for re-election and that Governor Tillman must be content with two terms a.' Governor and that the alliance will be for Butler. We suppose that on this question Governor Tillman can come dlown] off the fence. And when the campaign opens he will likely be ' NOW FOR WATER WORKS. For several years The Herald and News has been pressing upon the peo ple of Newberry the importance of a system of water works for our town. And in cocgnection therewith we have thought it would be wise to put up an f electric plant for lighting the town and furnishing light to private residences and public buildings. We are glad to know that our efforts in this direction have not been entirely forgotten. \V publish elsewhere this week a communication from a citizen on this subject giving three very im portait reasons why we should have water works. We hope our citizens will read it and think of it. Of course no plans or details for tbe system can yet be given, but if it is found that the people really want this much needed t improvement it will be time enough t then to go into detaiis. There wili be found opposition to water works just like there is opposi tion to all 'iwpro"ements and forward movements, but we think that if the ! sentiment of the people could be cor rectly obtained it would be found that f the opposition to a system of water works would be a very small minority. The Herald and News would be glad to hear from other citizens on this sub ject. In fact it was our purpose this week to get an expression of opinion fron a number of citizens on the subject and we have talked to a good many and will give their views in i our next issue. We fiid the sentiment in favor of water works almost unani mous. f A great many towns in the State not r near as well prepared for water and lights as we are have both, and a< our correspondent says, would not be with- e out them. The health of the town de- f mands that we put in a system of water works. Now is the time to do it. There is e no use to wait for better times. The times will get better as we make them better. t Let us hear from the people. They t are the ones interested and they are the t ones to determine tbis question. -__ _- I The Oconee News (reform) objects to c Mr. Ellerbe for Governor. It says he n is in full sympathy with the move ment and all that, but there are'hosts t of others who are also in full sympathy "and who are not lacking in maturity and discretion." "Then, too," says a the News, "Mr. Ellerbe has held office for four years, which will be a satisfac tory reason for his retirement." The ( News must be joking. Surely it has not been in the reform movement all this time and has not yet learned that a four years of office only fitted a re former to rotate into a better office and ( so on to the end. Why there is Gov Tillman, who didn't want any office, after holding one for four years want- IJ ing to rotate into a six year job. A leading reformer expected to retire - from office after only four years' ser vice! Perish the thought! It is ab surd! Where has the News been1 been since its birth to think such thoughts, much less give expression to a them. _________ Some of the Reform organs have un dertalken to say that the statement in some papers that the new dispensary ~ law gave the power to search residences without warrant was for the purpose of misleading and creating sentiment against the administration. But the matter of searching your private resi- g dence is a very easy thing. All the constable has to do is to go before a j trial justice and make affidavit on "in- u formation and belief" and the justice must issue the search warrant and the n thing is done, and if you resist and he o shoots you down he can plead that t you resisted the high and strong arm of the law and an officer in the dis charge of his duty under that law. w Mind you, the man who wants to make " the search has only to make altidavir t, on "information and belief." It is al-" together a beautiful law. h H We would like for every one who reads P this paper to read the article on the * fourth page from Mr. Walker. We have said time and again that in our opinion thbere was too much dispo sition among our p'eople to leave the farm and come to town. And one rea son is there is not enough attention paid to the home life on the farm.. There is no life so pleasant and happy and independent as the life of thbe farmer if lhe will only make it so. But the people in the towns and cities should work together and co-operate with the people in the coun'try inmme diately surroundiog the town. In this way they can be mutually helpful to each other and can become mutually prosperous and happy. The Herald and News rather likes and enjoys its position on the fence in the present scramb,le going on in this State. And then too we enjoy the novelty of once, at least, agreeing with Governor Tillman. It is about the first time we have been together in a long time. The present situation is in teresting as well as amusing, viewed from the top of the fence. No office in sight and no political friend to boom. ti It is glorious. The wonder is we did ~ not get this position long ago. .. it G3reen wood is to have a newspaper. ~ The Greenwood Publishing Company as been chartered. It will boom the new county. (Green wood is a live and, progressive town and the people are s united and of one mind in their desire s and eff'ort for a new county. Mr. J. Y. Jones writes a letter from a Washington to the State newspaper in which he roasts Mr. Shell and Mr. I Bowden. Hie says Mr. Shell played - false to him ini th~e matter of an an pointment he was trying to get. No doubt if he had seeaired the appoint-] ment Mr. Shell a-ould have been a ti great man, It's the offices we want, fi boys, and don't you forget that. TheP situation is getting inighty interesting F and we rather lke our place on the b fence. Ii The Supreme Court will hear the b Dispensary erses on the 29th. This t seems to us to be useless, as, siuee theseb eases were appealed, the Legislature ec bas made the law over. The Court isi WATEU WORKS WE MUST HAVE. A Number of Good Reasons for Them Many More Could be Given-Let the People Think and Then Act-De lays are Danaerous. To the Editor of The Herald and Sews:-I have been gratified with your requent allusions to the necessity of taving both water works and electric ights for our town. I do not agree with -ou as to electric lights for the reason bat in my judgment the town is not -et ready for electric lights. We can et along very well for awhile with our resent system of lighting our streets nd house=. Of course I am aware that be lights at present are not what we night wish, but if our financial condi ion will not justify both, then let us, ave water works. Water works will ie an incalculable benefit to our town. e are told by those who live in towns r cities that have water works that hey would not be without them for wice the amount of the cost in taxes. .Now, sir, I propose at this time only bree reasons (there are many more) iby we should have water works. First: Our sanitary condition will 'ery soon, if it does not now, demand t. The highest authorities tell us that n almost every instance the chief venue of infection in cases of typhoid ever, that dreaded disease, is in the vater we drink, and foraught we know nany of the ills that we mortals are ubjected to are traceable to the same ource. In my humble judgment, if ome action is not soon taken in this natter, we will be subjected to epi lemics that ct1 bring desolation to ur homes. Notice that our town is rowing, our population is increasing. Ve are becoming more and more con >act. Is it not time, Mr. Editor, that omething be done along this line. The second reason is, our insurance vill be lessened. I am reliably in armed that insurance in our ton anges from 3-4 of one per cent to 54 per ent. In some instances it amounts to robjbition. Think of it for one no sent? Five dollars and fifty cents on very hundred dollars insured, or fifty ive dollars on every thousand dollars I rorth of insurance. It seems to me, at I east, that the business men will save Imost enough on insurance to pay the tra tax incurred by water works. The third reason. With water works our fellow citizens who ve away from the business por ion of town can have some pro ection from fire. Let us remember hat these same citizens helped to pay >r "Young John," and are taxed every ear to keep up the fire department. s it not but just that they should re eive some protection from fire? As it ow stands they have none. This, Mr. Editor, is written to put ur city fathers and our people to binking and for no other purpose. WATER WORKS. Suggestion from an Up-Country He formor.

C., January 22.-At Maddens Station on the Port Royal and West rn Carolina Railroad, just after sunrise this morning, two white farm ers, Matthew Cunningham and Wil son Boyd, fought, and Boyd was fatally wounded. The afiair occurred in the engine room of a gin house and only the two were present. The quarrel is said to have arisen because Cunning ham refused to allow a negro in his employ to sboe some horses for Boyd. Persons outside say that Cunningham said, "Go away, I don't want to have an difficulty with you." and later, "I am not blutfing you." Then they heard a blow, and going into the room found Boyd down and bleeding at the nose and nonth. A piece of a hoe handle was lying by with blood and hair on it, and it is presumed that the blow was struck with it. Cun ningham eft the scene of the trouble at once. Boyd was abont fifty years old and Cunningham is about ten years his senior. Later.-Boyd died at 4 o'clock p. m. The sheriff has gone to arrest Cunningham, who it is supposed will surrender. A I'CNIC FOR THE LAWYERS. The Wille of Two W'd l.'aclelorvi in Spa - tanburg County Show the Ruling Pxa Plon Strong in Death. LSr.eci-l to News and C,urier.] GREENvILt:, Jan. IS.-A curious will came to light to-day by the death of Elizabeth Waters, near Reidville, Spartanhurg ( ounly. James and Al thony Wakefield, two old bachelor brothers, starred a town which they wanted named Wakefield, but it was called Reidville. They determined to kill thtltown, and at their death left all their large estate to their niece, Mrs. Waters, for her life, and at her death the property goes to the clerk of Court of Snartanburg County and his sue cessors, to be held in trust for one hun dred years. At the expiration of that period it is to be divided among the nearest relatives. To-day Mrs. Waters died and under the will the clerk of Court will take possession. It is stipulated that only so much of the land shall be worked dur ing the hundred years as will produce a sufficient amount to pay the taxes. The land completely surrounds Reid ville, cutting it off from the entire world, aad is valued at one hundred thousand dollars, which way not he half the actual value. It is supposed that the lawyers will have a pienic in the litigation which will be opened. We Are . . . . . NOW Ready_ For ... Business! WE ARE OPEB A NICE GLEAN STOCK ..QF . .
