A HAEBI4GER OF PEACE. I
May the building of the Woman's r
College indeed prove a I arbinger of c
peace and good will again in our State.)
The corner stone of this institution was e
laid at Rock Hill last Saturday with
imposing ceremonies and in the pres- I
ence of a large concourse of people. It
was an occasion on which fational and
political diff'erences were forgotten and 0
laid aside. The building of this College ;
is-one thing on which all the people of il
this State have been united. There has y
not been one to raise his voice against c
the undertaking. It is too apparent r
that the education of our women has a
been neglected, has not been given the d
attention it deserves, nor that which 5
has been given to the education of our c
boys. It being the one thing upon L
which our people are united we trust it t
may be the beginning of an era of good t
will and harmony and peace in our old
State. (
Gov. Tillman made the opening ad
dress and it was a good and strong and j
conservative speech. He recognizes the e
fact that it is time for the people to
stop quarreling among themselves, and
to go to work for the good of the State. y
We wish very much that we had tpace :
to present to our readers the full text of
this address. We should like for them t
all to see it and read it. We are glad p
to be able to commend it most heartily 11
and we only hope that Gov. Tillman
will continue to preacn the doctrine of
peace and good will and not only to e
preach it on occasione like this but to
act it in his officialand private canacity. 0
We desire to quote his closing para- t
graph.4 Here it is: . r
"Before closing I want to give empha- e
sis to one thought. I have already 1
pointed out the unanimity with which b
men of all classes, conditions and ideas t
have joined hands in aiding to erect 0
this school. It is the one thing and the t
only thing upon which the men of t
South Carolina are at present united.
Only alluding, in passing, to the divi
sion and bitterness which exist among R
our people, allow me to ixpress the '
hope that this point of union may grow r
and spread; that the inspirations of this x
day may prove a barbinger and help to
Lasten the restoration of that harmony P
and friendly feeling which once existed D
and which must necessarily return be- v
fore we can have any great degree of g
prosperity. Our interests are one, our b
ancestry is the same-let us yield to the c
rule of justice and reason and the gov- a
ernment of the majority, for we be t]
brethren. Why not ;dwell together as P
brethren?
As in the days of old the ancient A
Sabines were brought to peace with the
Romans by the women who had been t]
seized and borne off captives to become t]
the wives of the latter; so may the wo- "
men of South Carolina become our ti
peacemakers. n
Let them take hold of the work in t]
earnest-go to all the campaign meet
ings in full force to make their fathers, e
husbands and brothers behave them- E
selves; and at the end of the summer ti
we will have something better than b
prohibition or the sub-treasury: fc
"Peace in all our hearts,
Peace in all our homes."
Then too this was an occasion on a1
which the State newspaper and Gov. b
*Tillman got together. It gives us pleas- b
ure to quote the following from an
editorial in this newspaper which also sl
contained Goy. Tillmnan's speech. After rt
-*recounting briefly the history of the e~
building of this institution The State
newspaper says:
"The addresses made yesterday by
Governor Tillmnan and Speaker Jones I
appropriately recognized these facts b
-and were attuned to a patriotic note. as
Both were as neariy non-partisan as 10
-could have been wished and both were sc
good. It gives us pleasure to commend at
the spirit in which the Governor met ftu
the occasion. His address was thought- ]
ful, strong and altogether creditable, te
and it is easy to see that his pride is to
-great ini the instil ution whose establish- ~
went he has so earnestly promoted. w
Book Hill and the whole country tl
round combined to do the honors of a D
hearty hospitality, and thie triumph of d(
civic enterprisemade the hearts of all hi
her people glad. It was a memorable a!
day, and one of great good omen.n o~
We trust it is a good omen andy
means much in more ways than one
for South Carolina. Let us mark this
day as the beginning of the return of
good will and peace and the death
knell of prejudice and hatred and bitterb
and unreasoning partisanship. t
*Speaker Ira B. Sones was the qrator
of the day and made a capital speech. tb
The corner stone was laid with Ma- a
sonic ceremonies. The Clemson Col
lege Cadets and faculty went over in ab
body. Altogether it was a memorable
day and marks an epoch in the history is
of the State. Let us rid ourselves of
the strife stirzers and get together for
the good of South Carolina.
The Herald and News has no quarrel dc
with Mr. Benj. Halfacre if his con- t
science and his honor require him to tu
vote the Populist ticket. It is a right
which an American citizen is sLpposed
to enjoy to vote as he pleases. It is his
duty to vote as his conscience and dt
honor dictate. But we do not see how a
a man who votes the Populist ticket
can claim to be a Democrat. Mr. Half- *
acre does not say whether he voted for to
Weaver or Harrison or Cleveland, elec
tors. Our recollection is that he signed
the call issued by Mr. J. WV. Bowden sa
for a convention of Weaverites. Our
conclusion was that he voted for Wea- hij
vern electors. That being the case we fo
presumed he was a Third Partyite as ar
Mr. Weaver was the candidate of that Sa
party. That being the case we did noty
see how be could consistently be a memi- vi
ber of a Democratic executive commit- W
tee. A man cannot be a Populist and aa
Democrat both at the same time. Thbey
are two distinct parties. That is all t
there is of it.
Ti
It is said that WV. D. Evans, has th
about concluded to drop out of thbe race te
for Governor and that thbe field will be w
left to Jno. Gary Evans and WV. H. dc
Ellerbe. If WV. D. Evans enters the w:
race for Congress whbat is to become of in
Congressman McLaurin? Maybe he it
will come in the gubernationlal race as
a dark horse. He and Joo. Gary Evans ;
could work up a lively little campaign. s
We believe that the Greenvi.le News E:
has aboub withdraw%' his fast racer and t b
original reformer, Gen. R R. Hemp- tb
hill, of the Abbeville Medium. It is w
very pleasant to have no particular ar
candidate for any office and t bat is tulec
nnition of The Herald and News. 1elt
HE~ HERALD AND NEWS ENDORSED.
The Herald and News has tried to
e fair and just and has pleaded long
od persistently for peace and. bar
3ouy. Sometimes we have felt dis
ouraged and that our efforts-were fall
ig pNotless ears. The letter pub
shed herewith from Rev. A. J. Stokes,
astor of .the Newberry Methodist
burch, gives us a degree of pleasure
ecause of the source from which the
adorsement comes and because we
now it is prompted by honest pur
oses and a desire to do good, and we
ive it to our readers, not because of the
ersonal commendation of the editor
f this paper, which, however, he high
r appreciates, but because we belelve
will do good. It should be the pur
ose and aim and constant endeavor
f every patriotic citizen of this Com
jonwealth to instil a respect for law,
nd to endeavor to place our political
iscussions on a high and elevating
lane. We want to encourage a spirit
f conservatism and to be rid of so
3uch political prejudice aud bitter
ess. Let us remember that we are
rethren and South Carolinians.
NEwBERRY, S. C., May 10th, 1894.
apt. E. H. Aull, New6erry, S. C.
MY DEAR Sip: For some time I
ave been watching with interest the
ditorial columns of the paper that y< u
ave the honor to edit with unusual
bility.
J have reached the conclusion that
Ou deserve the commendation of the
atriotle citizens of your county and
,tate; and that you will have the ap
royal of fair minded men, whose pa
riotism rises above the prejudi.ces of
arty or faction. Your insistence for
Lw and order, regardless of your
pinion of the men whose duty it is to
xecute law, and maintain order, is
Lrtainly wise and patriotic. When
.en are so inflamed by passion, and
linded by prejudice, as to regard the
verthrow of those to whom they are
pposed as paramount to all else (even.
2ough these are in the places of
ilers), they unwittingly become the
emies of society, and of the best
iterests of civil government. In their
lind rage against these, Samson like,
Jey will take hold of the main pillows
f the temple of government, and over
irow it, even though they, with the
3ousands, perish in the ruins.
On the one band it is written in the
ook of books: "The God of Israel
tid. the Rock of.L-rael spake to me,
i.e that ruleth over men nust be first
.ling in the fear of- God."' 28am.
xiii: 3.
Ungodly, profane and lewd men in
lace and power (either in State or
ational) are a curse to a people. Those
rho occupy such places should be
-dly and swt-red, as the veritable
igh priest of God appointed to exe
ite governments for .His people. They
re indeed God's vice-gerents. "For
iere is no power, but of God, the
Dwers that be are ordained of God.
or he is the minister of God to thee
r good." Rom. xiii: 1-4.
But it is a grevious evil, also, to bring
e offices into contempt, and make
em as the seats:of the devils by un
arranted and unlawful attacks upcn
e officers. It is written: "Thou shalt
A revile the gods (judges), nor curse
e rulers of thy people."
The grandest man that graced the
rrth, since the days of Moses, un
itingly rebuked the high priest, and
ins apologized for it: "I wist not
rethren that he was the high priest,
r it is written: Thou shalt not speak
ril of the ruler of thy people."
Even "Michael, t he archangel, when
tending with the devil he disputed
>ot the body of Moses, durst not
ing against him a railing accusatior.,
:it said: The Lord rebuke thee." The
eklessness with which mien revile
ose in high places is amazing and
ocking to the simple minded.- When
en "despise dominion, and speak
ii of dignities," they sow the seeds of
rarchy and misrule, that will bring a,
rvest of disgrace and woe to the
isest and best of people.
It is with the greatest reluttance that
refer to topics claimed so exclusively
rpoliticians, but there is a moral
pect to them which involves the best
test of our common country and of
ciety at large, which demands the
tention of the humblest citizen
rthest removcd fromu political
ethods. I do not write in the in
rest of any party, or faction; neither
defend nor blame any man or set of t
en; but to do what I can to aid those
bo are manfully resisting the evil
at is threatening~ society and our f
moeratic government. I do not en- t
re all you write, but I do mosti
artily commend the wise, patriotic
d noble stand that you have taken
the great question above referred to.
Please accept the thanks of one of
~ur humble fellow citizens.
Respectfully,
A. J. S'rOKES.
What are the prohibitionists in New.
rry going to do? If the decision of
e Supreme Court gives us practical
ohibition there is no necessity for
eir convention or of their taking anya
tion. The State bss wbat the peo

to abide the decision of the court.
at is the court of last resort.

ems it proper to acknowledge, and 1
kes pleasure in doing so, his obliga
m to his partner 3Mr. W. P. Hoaseal,
d to Mr. R. H. Greneker, Jr., fora
eir efficient work in the local depart
nt of the paper the past two weeks
ring his absence at Birmingham and
North Carolina Synod. They are ef
'ient workers and know a piece of I
ws when they see it, and know how r
prepare it for the public.
The Newberry Herald and News
's it is not right, or just, or fair to
etion the motivesof Justice Pope in
e Dispensary matter and to charge,
m with making a partisan decision
rpolitical purposes. But, brother H.
d N., didn't Justice Pope intimate
mue thing about the motives of his
sociates in t his cele brated case? Have
u no word of censure for him? In
aw of all the circumstane's of the case
think The Herald anl News went
ittle cut of its way in its defence of
stice Pope.-Johnston MIonitor.
n so far as Justice Pope questioned e
e motives of his associates who did e
>t agree with him he also was wrong.
i Herald and News in speaking of
e critics of Justice Pope did not in- C
d to excuse him from any errors of
ich he may bave been guilty. We
not feel that we are going ott of our
y in any matter when we are speak
for right and justice and fair deal- I

If a man voted for Weaver electors]
for president, the Third party candi
date, ati signed a call for a State con
vention in I)ehalf of this Third party
cand date, would you call him a Third
partyite or a Democrat? And is he a
proper person to sit in a Democratic
executive committee as one of the
advisers of the Democracy?
DEMOCRAT OR POPULIST. WHICH?.
An Explanation Which Does Not Explain
Mr. BenJ. Halfacre Seems a Little sea
sitive-Ne One is Taunting Him.
To the Editor of The Herald and
News: In your issue of May 2nd I see
my name alluded as a "pronounced
Third partyite." If you intend to in
timate by this allusion that I am not
strictly entitled to 'represent a Demo
cratic club, I have this to say:
I supported State Democracy hon
estly and conscientiously. Differing
from a large majority of my Demo
cratic friends I carried my honor and
conscience with me in national poli
ties and voted for that party which co
incided most nearly with our State
Democracy, which, in the exercise of
my right of citizenship, I felt it to be
my conscientious duty to support as
true D,mocrecy. I profess to be what
is called in 'olities a Democrat, but I.
do not yield to another a right to in
terpret to me what is Democratic and 1
what is not. Especially do I not yield
this right of interpretation to a conven
tion, cominated by men and interests
which I consider as inimical to the in
terests of the country in which I live.
I have thus stated my reasons for
the course I pursued in national peli
tics. I do not intend to force or ingra
tiate myself into any political party;
and if the explaiation which I have
made has explained me out of the
Democratic party, I am willing to stay
out of the party. I am not ashamed
of the course I have taken. Under the
same circumstances I will do the same 1
thing again. If what I have said
makes me a Third partyite, a commiu
nist, a socialist, a populist or an an
archist, I will not be ashamed of any
opprobrium which may attach to my
name on that account. I carry my
monitor with me, and stand acquitted
before it. The gibes and taunts of
thoughtless persons will not move me
to a violation of my conscience.

To the Editor of The Herald and
News: In your issue of May 9, 1894, in
your corregolMdence from Prosperity, t
it is stated that I am "censured severe- f
ly" for not coming to see after the
burial of a certain corpse. I have otly e
to say that the first knowledge of the
uicide and inquest reached me through ,
the Coroner, after he had held the in
quest and returned to Newberry. He
told me that all that was expected of
me was to furnish a coffin, and a negro
named Sheppard would see that the f
morpse was buried. I 'started to tele- 5
graph Mr. Sim Matthbews to furnish a
tbeap coffin for $2.50, when I met Mr.
Hob Brannon, who was on his way to
Prosperity, and asked him to take a
acte to Mr. Matthews, and directed the ~
U'erk to write a note asking Mr. Mat
thewsa to furnish a coffin, and to sign a
Iiy name, which he did
It was after 5 o'clock, and after all .
trains had gone down, when I received
Nir. Hawkins' telegram asking me to t
:ome down on the down train; ti
snd, thinking that the coffin, only,
was needed, and having made neces
iary arrangements for that to be I
'urnished, I never went to Prosperity- t
'lvr. Lindsay having assured me that a
2egro named Sheppard would do the
work- t
The County Commissioners have
2ever in my knowledge directed the ~

was adopted.
TRIBUTE OF RESVtCT.
Frederick S. Paysinger was born in
7ewberry County in October, 18:32,
trd died at his residence in January,
894. He spent his entire life in the
lounty of his birth, with the exception
>f the years that be served his country
n the late Confederate war. He en
isted during the war in the Second
iouth Carolina Cavalry, commanded
)y Col. Thomas J. Lipscomb, and par
icipated in all the battles of this cor
nand. On account of gallantry and
laring displayed by him as a soldier,
3en. Bragg made him one of his scouts
u North Carolina during the last year
>f the war. Manly, brave and patriotie,
ie was greatly beloved by all of his
:omrades.
As a citizen he was high, honorable
ind just. Always ready and quick to
lischarge his duties as be saw them,
>ronpted by conFcieutious motives.
.fe was of a social, genial and compan
ocnable disposition and was highly re
,arded by the community at large.
John McGovren was born in Ireland
aud emigrated to this country when a
roung mnan, about the year 1845. Like
ill men of his birth he was ready to
ight for the caute of his adopted State;
ind the people of South Carolina were
iot surprised, at the first sound of tbe
ocein of war, to find him one of her
irst defenders. He served in Gen. Ker
haw's command during the war and
vas distinguished for his boldness, dar
ng and gallantry; and became one of
he scouts of that gallant general. He
vas highly respected by his comrades
n arms for the patriotism and heroism
lisplayed by him in behalf of his
idopted State.
About three years ago, during the
ime of the Centennial in Columbia,
dr. Frederick S. Paysinger mer. him
limost penniless and offered him a
iome at his house in his old age. He
ceepted this generous hospitality and
emained with Mr. Paysinger until his
leath, which occurred just one week
>revious to Mr. Paysinger's. He was
urvived by no relative so faras known
n this country. The night that he
lied, Mr. Paysinger was taken sick and
urvived him but a few days. Thus
bese Confederates were lovely and
fleasant in their lives and in death
bey were not divided. Be it, there
ore,
Resolved, That in the death of Fred
rick S. Paysinger and John McGov
en, this association has sustained the
DsS of two worthy and gallant mem
Pers, and their memories will always be
herished by the surviving members.
2. That the hospitality extended by
Prederick S. Paysinger toa needy Con
ederate soldier, in his declining years,
a worthy of all imitation, an example
specially commended to every mem
rer of this association.
3. That 'his tribute to the memory
,f these deceased members he publish
d in the county papers, and that a
opy be sent to the family of Mr. Pay
inger and also a copy be sent to the
etatives of Mr. McGovren wherever
bey may be found.
4. That a p age in the minute book of
he James D7. Nance Camp be devoted
S.their mom ory.
James Y. Culbreath, in behalf of the
emmittee, spoke in support of the reso
ations, bringing out some of the noble
raits in tbe lives of the deceased comn
ades.
Rev. E. P. McClintock, in seconding
he motion to adopt the resolutions,
ade some remarks on the friendship
ud attachment existing between Mr.
'aysinger and himself.
The action of the Mermorial Commit
re, as stated by 0. L. lSchumpert, Esq.,
ras, on motion, received as informa

0. L. Schumnpert, E.rq., one of the
elegates who attended the Fourth

ipril 25 and 26, told something of the
2agnitude and grandeur or the meet
g, of the kindness shown our de.e
ation, and it being thbe only camp from
distance fully represented-the ten
elegates allowed the Camp being pre.s
nt with two alternates, viz: 0. L.

elegation had pledged ten (810) dol
trS for tbe Camp towards the comtple
on of the moItnument being erected by
~eeral Underwood at Oakland Ceme
ry. Chicago, to our "unknown dead"
uried there.
On motion of J. Y. Culbreath, E49.,
.F. Boyd was instructed to raise the
toney to) pay for the flag and the ten
ollars pledged, in any way he thbough.t
est.
As the pamphlet known as the Con
~derate Veteran, was made the official
rgan of the United Confederate Vet
rans at the Reunion, the question was
sked, "should we miake it the official
rgan or the Camp?" And, on motion

OUR PROSPERITY LETTER.
[Special to The Herald and News.]
PROSPERITY, S. C., May 15.-Dr.
G. Y. Hunter and Miss Carrie, only
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. G. De
Walt, were married at the residence
of Rev. Z. W. Bedenbaugh on last
Wednesday.
A match game of base ball was
played here last Wednesday between
the College team, of Newberry College,
and a team bere. The result was a vic
tory for Prosperity. The writer was not
present, but judging from the score,
which was 26 to 27, tbe playing on both
sides was especially bad.
Prof. E. S. Joynes, of the South Caro
lina College will deliver the annual
address before Prosperity High School
on the night of June 6th.
The officers of the Prosperity Rifles -
have been duly commissioned by the 4
Governor and as soon as the company I
receives their guns and other military
paraphernalia they'will be ready to put
down an insurrection, or to meet any
other emergency. Long live the Rifles. t
The seasons are remarkably fine. (
The stands of cotton were never better, C
and the tender weed looks healthy and :
vigorous. Corn also is ju,4t booming.
A trip through the Dutch Fork in Lex
ington last week, and into Edgefield
yesterday convinces me that the wheat
and oat crop is not injured to the extent C
by cold as was at first supposed. On 0
the way from here to Kempson's Ferry, .
through the "stone hills." I consider the
wheat and oat crop fair, if not good.
Of course there are some exceptions,
but as a rule, the crop of both t6ese
cereals is fair in the "stone hills." They
are not so good ii Lexington, yet not
so bad as once regarded.
A Hebrew named Lisebes, has
opened up a stock of dry goods and
gents' furnishing goods next door to
Kohn & Birge. We wish him all the
success he deserves, but if he survives
Prosperity's low prices, he will be the
first of the tribe of Judah who has ac
complished this remarkable feat. A
number of his people have made a sim
ilar effort, but most ingloriously failed.
The price of goods in Piosperity will
starve any Jew. Look out brother
Lisches, I greatly fear that you will not
be happy aud serene very long.
Yu-BE.
Bachman (hapel and Union Academy
Chipe.
Mr. Editor, we have found but litt9e
time for picking up chips for the past :
few weeks.
The health of our section is very
good, with the exception of the goose
neck fever, which has broken out in
full force.
Good seasons, and vegetation is be
gin nini to spread herself.
Mr. M. L. Strauss will go to Orange
burg this week to look after the inter
ests of his plantation.
There wiil be communion services
at Cannon Creek A. R. P. Church on
Sunday next, with preparatory services
on Saturday previous.
Our first mess of Irish potatoes came
last week. Beaus are just in sight;
blackberries not far off. Cabbage,
okra, tomatoes and roasting-ears are
right along behind. Now don't you
see what a hard matter it would be to
starve out an old clodhopper at, this l
season of the year? I
The farmers are moving right alopg
with their work. The old corn is all (
worked out in apple pie order, and cot- *
ton hoeing is~now on the get up and I
get.
Mr. Editor, we don't know just ex
actly how to define our writing this
week, as we have miissed getting-our<
last week's mail. So E suppose we had
better let politics alone this time, as
there is some danger of getting too far
ahead--or too far bahind.
We hear of somec whooping cough
scattered around among the children.
Miss Mary Sligh and Miss Katie
Sloan, of Slighs, were visiting in this
section on Saturday night and Sunday
last.
