ELBEkT H. AULL, I Proprietor-. WM. P. HuEAL, f ELeEKT H. AULL. EDITOR.. "OUt DUY As CITIZENS." We present th;s week a most exc*l lent article on this subject from Rev. A. J. S. Thomas, editor of the Baptist Courier. We hope every oae will read; carefully what he has soadmirably said, and stop long enough to ponder it well. It is on the same line that The Herald and News has been hammering at for a long time. 'Only last week, it will be remembered, that we said on' of the worst tendeneies of the times was the! readiness to assign base and impure motives to those who do not think as you do. There is not enough toleration of one another's opinions. As the writer says, there must be concession, and there can be without a sacrifice of princip!e. We want to rid ourselves of the extreme leaders on every side. We want to forget much of the past. We want to see the peo ple get together. Our interests in this State are common, and this everlasting and eternal wrangling cannot help us. Let the really conservative and peace loving men of this State get together and sav, 'he old'State from so much bitter, ess and prejudice and hatred. We truly believe that a majority of the people desire to and will do right. They love their State and want to see' her prosperous and her people happy. Then let these get together regardless of partisan politics and give us once more peace and quiet and in this way build up our material interests and se cure our moral advancement. Our only purpose now is, however, to direct your attention to this letter. Read it carefully and ponder it well. The Herald and News told you so. The Supreme Court's decision means what it says-Prehibition. There is a strong sentiment in this community, and throughout the State .in favor of Prohibition. Now let the law be enforced. Niles G. Parker, State treasurer in tnh Carolina, during the era of "good stealing," died April 2Sth, at Escanaba, Michigan. Mr; R. L. Whites has associated Mr. E. B. Kibler with him in the Pros perity Press and Reporter. The paper has a new dress, and is bright and newsy. Editor Harman didn't miss an issue with the Lexington Dispatch, although his office was destroyed by fire two weeks ago on the ,day when he was' ready to go to press. Lexington can't do without the Dispatch. This paper has set itself against the * publication of crim. con. cases, etc., as unwholesome reading. But it may be well at times to guardedly notice these <-uestionable subjects. The Brecken ridge-Pollard seandal is, perhaps, fa - ..ma4iar to all. For five weeks the esd re - cital of the court's proceedings were flashed forth daily by thousands of presses to'en,ter hundreds of thousands of homes to be read, doubtless, by miu lionsof young people. In the trial of this lamentable breach of-promise case, it will be remembered that the verdict was in favor the plain tiff in the sum of $1,000, and that the defense gave notice of appeal for a new trial, in which event the dreadful story will be repeated. It is hoped the ease will not come before the court again. In the trial the defence picked the poor girl's character all to pieces; in fact, tried hard to make the plaintiff appear in the role of a very bad school girl. Gen. Breckinridge blamed her for his downfall. But we think his own admissions convicted him. General Breckinridge met Miss Pol lard ten or a dozen years ago on the train school-ward bound. One recog nized the other. All Kentuckianisloved General Breckinridge, and the youbg lady had been named for him. At her request he afterwards met her at the Institute as she had some trouble to communicate to him as a lawyer. It was a fatal meeting. Who was most to blame in thbis case we may never know. Whether pre-natal weakness, the want of early parental training, pressure be yond the power of wit bstandiug temp tation, or other cause led up to the de plorable sequence, is sealed from the prurient public that feasted upon the words and scenes of the court. This we do know that wvoman is "more sinned against that sinning." For long years the plaintiff had been mistress to the defendant. She claimed the promise of marriage which he de nied. What a pity that General Breck inridge,the distinguished soldier,states man and man of large afYairs: the son of a neted minister; and himself a hus band, father, and professed Christian, did not save the pt-or girl even from - herself, admitting, which we cannot believe, that she was in the wrong. During the trial of the case the presid inig judge told the crowd in court that daIly feasted upon the proceedings that they reminded him of buzzards. It was a deserved rebuke. The General is at home warmly re eeived by hundreds of men wh wili vote for his re-election, while the ladies and ministerial union are circulating cards praying that lie be not returned to office, on th~e gro~und that his con duct is in defiance of motrality and vir tue. Rev. Mr. McClinItOck at I>ue West. This popular Newber'y pastor at tended the meeting of the Young Peo ple's (convenItion1 of the Associate Re formed Presbyterian Church at Due West last week, and took' part in the exercises, as will be sen by the follow *ing clipping from the daily press: "What I want my young people to be and to do,'' was discussed wit h great c'learness. earnestness anid with manirked effect by Rev. E. P. McClintock of New herry, S. C. The speaker said that the first and chiefest desire for his yountr people was that they he Christlike. It t bis, their faith and practice would be right. He wanted them to be Asso. ei'ate Beformed Presbyterians and pre sented,-only one rerson, v:z.. that in usingihe inspired songs of God they were followinlg the example of Christ. He used them ever from His cradle to STRICT ROHIBITION. The Supr.no Gourt Unataiwousiy Says So. G3vernor TI1man Says So. and It Is So. [Special to The Herald and News.] COLUMBIA, May 8-12 M.-The Su preme Court decided today in the Flor enee cases that under the law as it now stands there is no authority invested with the power to grant licenses for the sale of spirituous liquors within tbe limits of this State, and hence the ac tion of the city council in granting licence was ultra vires and absolut"ly void, and tnerefore the injunetion is granted. The Court holds that parties selling spirituous liquors without license may be prosecuted under State or municipal laws, and that Brunson be remanded for trial. The Court is unanimous. GOV. TILLMAN SAYS IT IS STRICT PRO HIBITION. COLUMBIA, May 8-3.45 p. m.-Gov ernor Tillman and others all bold that the decision means strict prohibition with ample provision for penalty. Gov ernor Tillman says he sees no way in which he can co-operate in enforcing prohibition and expects town authori ties to do so, and he will not now con sider the future emergencies. NEWS AND COURIER BUREAU. THE CASES UPON WHICH THE DECISION WAS MADE. The first proceeding was a writ of ha beas corpus. The court passed the fol lowing order in regard to it. County of Florence, Third Judicial Cir euit. Ex parte J. Ellis Brunson. Petition of writ of habeas corpus. To U. S. Turbevile, Chief of Police of the City of Florence, S. C.: It having been brought before me by the petition of J. Ellis Brunson that as chief of police of the city of Florence, S. C., you unlawfully have his person in custody and the said J. Ellis Brun son having petitioned for a writ of ha beas corpus to bring said petitioner be fore the Supreme Court to inquire into the caus; of his detention by you as as aforesaid: You are hereby ordered and required to bring the body of the prisoner be fore the Supreme C.,urt at Columbia, S. C., at 11 o'clock a. m., on Monday, the 8th day of May, A. D. 1894, that the cause of his commitment being known and seen such further proceed ings may be had thereon as are agree able to law and justice. HENRY MCIVER, Chief Justice. - The next proceeding was an applica tion for an injunction to restrain the city council of Florence from issuing licenses to saloon men. The court signed the following order in that case: J. L. Barringer and Theodore Kuker Petitioners, vs. City Coancil of Flor ence Respondents. Upon reading the petition of J. L. Barringer and Theodore Kuker, here in, it is ordered that the respond euts herein do show cause before the Supreme Court of South Carolina at Columbia at 11 o'clock a. m., on Monday, the 7th day of May, A. D., 1894, why an injunction should not be issued by said court restraining respon dents as said city council of Florence from issuing license to sell intoxicating liquors in the said city of Florence as prayed for in petition and for such other and further relief as -the said court may seem just; it is further or dered that a copy of the within order be served on the respondent herein. H ENRY MtIv EE, Chief Justice. As will be seen, the papers in both cases were made returnable last Mon day. It could not be learned whether the petitioners for an injunction are prohibitionists and sincerely desired to prevent the issuing oflicenses, or wheth er their names were used to get the question before the Supreme Court. The Democrats in the Senate have come together on the tariff bill, and it will be passed, with the income tax too, not later than June 1st. METHODISTS Ar MEPHIS. The Work of the General Conferenace of the doathern Church. AIE.3PHIS, TENN., May 4.-In the second day's sesson a discussion was caused by the statement in the min utes of yesterday that this was the twentyseventh session of the General Conference of the Soutbern Church. The purpose of the statement is to link the Southern Church to the famous General Conference of 1884. The state ment was finally adoptds The Conference cor. ied yesterday, all the ten bishops of the church being present. Dr. W. H. Harrison, Secre tary of t be last General Conference, was elected secretary. The roll call of the 343 delegates showed nearly every delegate present. The pastoral address of the bishops was by Dr. Granberry. The address shown that the aff'airs of the church bave steadily prospered. The member ship in the Southern connection is now 1,400,000, a net gain during the quad renium of 170,000. Over $500,000 have been raised for domestic missions. The women of the church have raised for missions nearly $800,000. The in eresed activity of the youths of the church was mentioned as a eiuse for rejoicing. The bishops treated the sub ject of evangeli-ts at length. Succinct ty stated, it is suggested that each annual conference be giv.-n power to appoint one or more eva agelists to work. In the episcol al address the bishop called attention ?0 the danger involved in forming separate "socie ties" for the promotion of holiness, whereas the church exists to promote oliness. They exhort the church to avoide extravagant expressions in speaking about religious experience. While the point is not made directly, the paper gives out the opinion of the episcopacy that in case anly bishop should be prevented from work by physical disability his colleagues could, witout serious inconvenience, dis charge the additional duties. It is, therefore, not likely that .any new bishops will be made. In View of Water Works. As this important question is now before the Newberry public, the follow ing~ from the last issue of the Yorkville Enquirer will prove of interest to our citizens: "speaking of the quality of the water, a prominent physician said the other day: "It is undoubtedly the healthful water supply to be obtained in York ville. But few of the wells in this place, if you ever thought about it can furnish real pure water. This isan old town,. The people have been throw ing garbage and other filth on the sur face for a good many years. This, of course, is a natural consequence, and could not be otherwise. These surface impurities have, in the course of time, been gradually filtered down into the earth, and to a greater or less extent, permeate the water underneath. It tinds its way, in greater or less quanti ties, into thbe water that goes to feed thbe wells, and to a greater extent than most people would imagine, is the cause of typhoid fever and other forms of disease." The above is rather a scientific view of thesituation. It is true that most people think very little about the mat ter from this standpoint, and as a rule thy care a great deal less; but there is sense in thbe reasoning of the physician, atd it will no doubt be worth the while of the people. especially the occupants of long settled premise to give the subject suggested a thorough invesiatin LIGHTNING AT P ROsPERI[Y. The Lulberan latisonag, het uo Fire Dur ing a Thunder shower. PROSPERITY, May S. - Daring a thunder storm here Saturday evening, one of the chimneys to the Lutheran parsonage was struck by lighitniug, which set the house on tire. The entire family were at supper at the time. The erash and the electiic c,,rrent in the dining room were instantar.eous. \Vhile the room seemed oire, not. one of the family were injured aside from being horrified and shocked. Rev. Mr. Keis ter worked heroically to extingui"h the flames which began in the upper story between the ceiling and attic, while bis good wife hastened through a drench ing rain up town to get assistance. A large crowd soon gathered and a seri ous fire was averted, mainly by the herculean efforts of Mr. Keister. The building is an eigbt-room square house of wood. The greatest damage was done in the parlor among the pic tures. These were hung by wire and these wires being good conductors, the current was carried to every picture, sbivering the glass into thousands of pieces. One of the ornamental posts supporting both the upper and lower porch wassbivered into splinters. Another r,olt struck a Cnina tree near Mr. A. M. Lester's residence, about fifty yards from main street. In this case the tree was the only sufferer. Dr. Thompson Young, who has been in feeble health for a long time, passed calmly away this Tuesday morning, in the 84th year of his age. Dr. Young is the last of the old landmarks of Pros perity church, in fact the last of all the old men of this immediate section. He is the last of his generation-the last of the men who were "#.ld men" during the war. The young soldiers of the war are now holding the fort of age and decay. The great trooper on the whiie horse is even n.w rapidly thinning the ranks of those in the fort, who were stout, young and brave only a few years ago. Dr. Young lived a long and useful life; always unassuming and willing to assist his fellow man. He was a con sistent member of the A. R. P. Church. He leaves one son, Nathan H. Young, and two daughters, viz., Miss Awauda, who lived with him, and Mrs. James Dennis. His remains will be interred in Prosperity cemetery to-day. Wed nesday, at 11 o'clock. Funeral sermon at old church by Rev. MeMorries. Miss Lida Grimes, who has been on an extended visit to Atlanta, has re turned home. Mr. Jos. H. Hunter leaves to-day for the Lone Star State on a visit to his son Nathan and his brother Charie, both of whom are in Marlin. The glorious rains have fallen and new everybody is happy and serene. Coroner Lindsay, or Commissioner Shockley, or somebody else needs an investigation and needs it badly. Last Tuesday, after the inquest over the body of Andrew Sheppard, the suicide, the coroner was informed that Shep pard's family would have nothing to do with the body; that even were they disposed to do so, they were not able. The coroner replied that he had made arrangements for burials in similar cases, but that he had been rebuked by the County Commissioners for so doing, they claiming it their business and not his to arrange for burial of such eases where parties were unable. Upon this information Intendant Hawkir s tele graphed Commissioner Shocklecy, (he being the only one that could be reached by telegraph) to come down and make arrangements for the burial (f the body which lay in the guard house of tbe town. Com missioner Shoekley failed to come or to send any one. Late in the evening a note was received from the clerk of the board of county commissioners, addressed to Mr.8S. M. Matthews, directing him to furnish a coffin for stid body. Mr.~ Mathews was not here~; besides, the furnishing of a $250 coffin is the least part of burying an offensive decaying body. The body must beput into the coffin, a wagon must be furnished, a grave dug, and the body buried. All these things entail expense and labor of the most unpleasant ebaracter; yet Mr. Shockley does not come to arrange for any of these things, or order any arrangement. He simply instructs the clerk to order Mr. Mathis to furnish a coffin-nothing more. The body was finally buried late at night, (after lying and hanging in the guard house nearly 24 hours) by Trial J1ustice Fellers, assisted by two negroes to whom he guaranteed five dollars himself. Now this is all wrong, and somebody is responsible. Com mis sioner Dominick and Aull knew noth ing of the case, and of course are not blamed. Comimissioner Shockley is censured severely. Y u-BE.
