- AERRT H, AGLL, Proprietors. WI. P. HOUSE&L, 3 ELBERT H. AULL. EDITOR. A GOOD SPEECH. Some two years ago The Herald and News enjoyed the pleasure of com mending in strong terms a speech de livered by Gov. Tillman. That speec was made somewhere in North Caro lina. It was a good speech. This weel we take pleasure in commending an other speech ot his. It is short, and wE reproduce it in this connection as wE find it in the daily newspapers. He de livered it in Columbia, to the militia a: they were returning home. He said: "Soldiers, two trains whicl are to bear four eompanies to theii homes are now waiting and what ] shall say will be brief. "I feel it important and necessary and indeed due you to return the thanks of South Carolina to you foi your valiant services. Called without z moment's notice, you did not hesi tatu a me:n-ent to leave your avocations tc respond. There was never the least intention that you ebould shoot dowc your fellow citizens, but you were seal there to repress disorder, restore the lawand prevent mobs from committing murder and to see that South Caroline is obeyed and her laws upheld. I knoa you are anxious to get home and you deserve the benizons and God's blessing of all lovers of peace. "The time has come for bitterness anger and animosity among brethreu to cease. Henceforth let us, one and all, be united and stand together foi the good of South Carolina." We are told in all the papers that there was no applause to this speech. That may have been because it was con trary to orders, but of that we car( nothing. If Governor Tillman would only more frequently practice what ht preaches in this little speech, our deai old State would be a thousand fold better off. We are truly - glad to heai B. R. Tillman say: "The time ha: come for bitterness, anger and animosi ty among brethren to cease." The Herald and News has alway: felt and taught that there was no usE for such a time ever to begin. Gov. Tillman can do more possibly than any other man in the State to stop the bitterness, and we are truly glad to heal him say it is time for it to cease. Only now that he will just practice what hE preaches. We want every bitter parti san In this county to read this speech, especially every Tillmanite. Hear the closing sentence: "HPnceforth let- us, one and all.be united and stand to. gether for the good of South Carolina.' That is good doctrine -again and the very sort of #preaching The Herald and News has been doing for a long time. We repeat that we are truly glad that B. R. Tillman has been aroused to a realization of the fact that we should all be united and stand together for the good of South Carolina. It is an important fact he has Isarned and the pity is he did not learn it long ago, Possibly if he had the present divisions among the wbite people of this State, would not have come. Bitter and intemperate speeches on both sides have done much to keep up the bitterness and strife, and no one has been benefited thereby. We hope that when the people come to select officers this year that they will retire to the rear all those on both sides who are given to bitterness, and an effort to keep up the strtfe. .We do not want such rulers. The good of the State de mands that we be rid of extremists and fanatics. It is time now for soberness and rea son and judgment to assume control. Governor Tillman should have the last paragraph of this little speech framed and hung upon his bed post, so that he 'could add a petition to his night and morning prayers to be given power to follow the advice there laid down. "The time has come for bitterness, anger and animosity among brethren to cease. Let us, one and aU be-united and stand together for the good of South Carolina." The Reformers met in Columbia last week under the Colleton idea plan and issued an address and called a reform convention to be held in August. It looks a if things are to be packed in the interest of Jno. Giary Evans. It lookF also as if a bigger ring has been made than could ever have been con ceived by the old oligarchy. There will be very little time for a State campaign after the August reform convention, for only two weeks intervene between itand the general primary. This plan does not leave the choice of a candidate for Governor to a majority of the De mocratic voters but simply to a major ity of the reformers. The effort seems to be to rule the conservatism entirely -autof the game. The address is a very weak paper made up of platitudes and generalities. But if the reformers are satisfied for the bosses to dictate to them whbat they shall do and how they shall vote it suits us. We shall go along publishing the news and laying the facts before the people. The United States Court has deeid~ the Agricultural Hall case agains, tate. The reader is familiar with the case. How'the property was sold and bought by aMr.Alexander ofNortbCar lina, who made the .tirst payment and wanted to pay the whole amount in cash and offered Blue Ridge Scrip, and how Gov. Tillman played the Andrew Jackson act and had the building guarded and refused to give possession. We said at the time that it seemed to us that the proper thing to have done would have been to refuse to take the Scrip and when the second payment was due made the pu-chaser pay it in good money or sell the property. The State will have a big amount of rent to pay aid possibly have no quarters for its liquor business. But then the tax payers can stand the racket so long as it is done in the interest of and for reform. The Democratic clubs are to meet and reorganize next Saturday. Other wise, under the party machinery, they will have no representation in the con ventions: * The war will cost the taxpayers something like $25,000, but then that is a very small amount in an era of re form. A NO ENEMY TO COLUMBIA. The State newspaper objects to ' statement in The Herald and News last ant week as "unfair, unfriendly, and totally. of without excuse." It also says that vie what we said is indefinite. is t The Herald and .News stated that era the Columbia military companies made tic a mistake in refusing to respond to the thi order of Governor Tillman and dis- the banding. In this connection we made Dai this statement: Go' "It seems to us that of late the citi- troc zensof Columbiacan always be counted of on to do the wrong thing just at the right time to please their opponents. pc There are certain leaders there who tho seem to have forgotten that there are call any other people in the State outside ofJ nev Columbia." ern And this is the statement The State er construes as unfriendly to Columbia. jud The Herald and News does not care de+ at this time to discussthe action of the call military companies in refusing to re- ball spond to the call of the Governor, not The because of the weakness of our position or frc -:. any fear of being able to main- bas tain the correctness of it, but because we can see no good to come from dis- cus cussing it at this time, or anything to be accomplished by it. The more we think WI of it and the more we see it discussed, all the more strongly we are convinced an that the Columbia and Charleston com- acti panies and others made a great mistake in ditibanding and in refusing to re- stal spond to the call of the -Governor. If t every company is to.be the judge as t4 o when it will respondto the Governor's ccp eall, when the law gives him the power ofts to call them out, we see no need of a ofs militia. Such a militia is- worse than the none at all. dor The Herald and News did not say there was any mob in Columbia or ton anywhere else. On the contrary we sen said we did not believe there was con any there or anywhere else, and that cies in our opinion there was no need to and call out the militia, but in the opin- for( ion of Gov. Tillman there was need for sha calling it out, and when he called, it was pie the mu the duty of the militia to respond, and int in the town and city companies not con doing it they made a mistake and the played into his- hands, if he desired to 01 make political capital out of it. But mt we put it on a higher ground, that it con was their duty to respond to the call, or abo they should not have been holding s commissiotis under the Governor. des And we repeat what we said last week that it seems to us that there are equ some politicians in Columbia who have 's lost all political wisdom. They,may ,, be pretty good theorists but they seem smt to have no conception of practical poll- " tics.. And in saying this we would not abr have them sacrifice any principle of the compromise themselves in any way. dan But their opposition to Tillman as- old sumes at times the bitter partisanship f of the extreme and bitter Tillmanites wia themselves, The Herald and News can- T not go with or follow the lead of extrem- was ists on either side. The- Herald andwa News stands for th.at which it believes to in a be right, and hope never to become such lad a bitter partisan that we connot see the Inti errors of our own side, and the good of colt the other faction. hav if this position is to be co)nstroed as g enmity to Columbia we can't help It. con If Gov. Tillman should pray for more all such opponents, so be it. You will al- colt ways find us on the side of truth andha justice and fair dealing as our judg- si ment and conscience may point them ot to us. We may err. We may make T mistakes, but they will be errors and mistakes of the head and not the heart. Cal And we will stand by our convictions the to the end or until we are convinced itig they are wrong. We have no apologies thei to make or excuses to offer. thei The militia was called to Darlington "sp to keep the peace and net to protect thewa spies any more than any one else, and con they should have gone. denc The Herald and News is a friend to and Columbia, and would delight in her prosperity, but that friendship will not prevent us fromt criticising the actions of her citizens when we think the crdt- of t icism is deserved. lina There is much more we might say, but we can see no good to come from it. We have said this much so that those who may have doubt as to our positionB may know just where we stand. .De ______________issu Gov. Tiliman issued a proclamation as ii on April 5, declaring that there was no if ac longer an insurrection in the counties of Darlington and Florence. In it he Gi says the -'Commanding General has sour just informed me that the insurgents witl have dispersed." Gen. Farley reached be Darlington Saturday, March 31, and at 18963 once notified the Governor that there Soul was noinsurrectiont at Darlingtonl at that deni time. That no troops were needed and that the civil authorities were able to preserve the peace. There is a discre pancy here. Some one is either mis- Ee3 taken or there has been a misunder standing of some kind somewhere. We publish this week a very calm G< and complete review of the situation at h Darlington by Gen. Butler. He went h over there and personally saw the rc state of affairs. We invite every one intat to read it. Sa Alongside of it may be seen Gov.B Tilman's version of the situation in a yes speech delivered-in Columbia and alsotai his proclamation taking charge of the ao police of the cities and towns.

These two quali .tions are good at any time. lie Di aks the circumstances demanded Su calling out of the militia to go to toc -lington and that, therefore, the rernor did right in calling out the )ps. He was on the ground as one the militia and ought to be better exl ted than we are, but we have never th ight there was any necessity for de ing out the militia, but we have er questioned the right of the Gov- wl )r to do it. The law leaves it th ely to his judgment, and if his gmeDt was that the circumstances ianded it, then it was his duty to Clu them out. When called out we eve it was their duty to respond. Darlington people met the militia 9 ood spirit and temper and the boys of more of a picnic than a war. arg at no good can come now of dis- lib sing that side of the question. the at we want now is moderation on sides. And by this we do not mean tio sacrifice of principle, b:tt no good Th come from intemperate sp'h or on. We believe in every ma.i tw iding up for that which he believes lisl s right. We are no advocate of In cy at the expense of truth or prin- on e, but a man can maintain his po- he )n by reason and with the exercise So ome moderation. [r. Williams closes his review with A following, which we heartily en- e ed! Sun1 If Governor Tillman will curb his Cor gue and pen and temper and let his he se govern him before emergencies wh ie there need be no more emergen- are and if people on our side will do pac same, be governed by conservatism its look at both sides of questions be- ne, acting we will soon be in far better she pe than we now are. Moderate peo- sec may get together on a basis of foil tual concession of prejudices and th rests, without sacrifices of principle, anc trolled by common patriotism, and ma troubles of the prseent time may cof z be over and extremists powerless or lo harm. As it is they have unli- Dre ed power and, too d?ten, complete to trol. If somebody would give us gc t six thousand good, strong, large ca: s with power to use them we would oft t on Governor Tillman, leaving his t ot speech as the record of his pur- in 1 me and,- hopes, and apply them roll ally in both factions and would ga rantee to have peace and general art< d feeling in the State inside of six oft bths.
