PROHIBITION AND LIQUOR.
We give a good deal of space thi
weel; to the proceedings of the prohibi
tion mass meeting held at -Newberr:
on Monday, and to what was said
krohibition and liquor promise to pla;
an important part in the politics of thi
State this year and we have no doub
that our riaders will be interested ii
knowing what the prohibitionists c
our own county are doing and have t
say.
The whiszey question is a big quef
tion and one hard to handle. Whiske3
or its abuse and excessive e has beei
the cause of a vast deal of trouble an<
anguish and suffering. All admi
even prohibitionists themselves, tha
prohibition will not prohibit. Th
Herald and News has never been i
favor of statutory prohibition becaus
we have never been convinced tha
that was the proper way to reabh th,
evil or the correct remedy to apply. '
good deal was said in the meetinj
about a public sentiment to enforce th,
law. What we need is a public senti
ment that will condemn in strong an
unmistakable terms the use or abuse o
excessive use of the stuff, and we wil
not have need of any statute to pro
hibit the sale. That, in ouropinion, i,
the remedy to apply. The great troubl,
in this country now is that we are try
ing too much to get the law to di
everything. We are burdened wit]
trying to reform men by law. W,
need to do some reforming of individ
uals. Get the individuals right an(
we will not need so much legislation
We do not believe you can make mei
moral by statutory enactments; neithe:
can you make them temperate. Tha
being true, still we are willing to giv,
prohibition a trial, for until somethinj
is done we are going to have this ques
tion as a disturbing element. So fa:
as we are concerned we would be gla<
to see the prohibitionists put up a goo<
strong State and county ticket, and i
they will give us good. and true mei
we shall make no protest.
Now is as good time as ;ny to giv,
the matter a full and fair test. The
propose to make the fight in the Demo
cratic primaries and unless they pu
up a ticket they will likely be givez
the dispensary in some shape. Noy
give us a good and strong ticket an(
prove your faith by your works. Thii
is your opportunity. Such a ticket wil
put many of the prohibitionists to th
test. We will then be able to judge i
they are really in earnest and are will
ing to- stand by the principles the.
have been preaching. If they do noth
ing now they had better shut up 'ani
go out of business.
Brother Kirkland, late of the Chris
tian Advocate, but later elected South.
ern editor of the Sunday-school literst
tore of the Methodist Church South
gets very much on his metal because
too prominent laymen in his denomina
tion dare to suggest that a laymar
might be able to fill the chair which it
is supposed he will vacate soon.
In our opinion he is exceedingl3
rough and uncharitable, and we might
say un-Christian in his criticism. Hi
questions their motives and intimates
that each is wanting the place for him
self, while one of them distinctly sag
gested another layman. .And he goes
on to say that the laymen are not doing
anything for the Advocate anyway. Il
not we would like to enquire where the
Advocate gets its five or six thousand
subscribers, and where or how it could
live without theirisupport. The editor
may pitch on to us and say it is none o:
our business, but he can't keep us from~
ha.ving our opinion of such writing in
a Christian paper whose leading motto
should be love for the brethren.
Governor Tillman in 1894 occupies
the identical position in regard to the
so-called Alliance "demands" that Gen.
Hampton did in 1890. Will this have
the same effect this year that it did
four years ago and be nonstrued into
opposition to the interest of the far
mers.-Ex.
Not by any means. Gov. Tillman
is the friend of the farmer and does not
want office. If he would refuse to en
dorse all of the demands the Alliance
would take him any way. It is the
man they want this time and not the
measure. He is not only the tiger tamer
but he is the man charmer in these
years of grace. What Tillman says now
\goes.
It seems from the newspaper reports
that some persons are disposed to be a
little severe on Miss Clara Barton and
the action of the Red Cross in their
work of releif for the seacoast sufferers.
Her work was mainly on the sea
islands as we understand it. It was re
quested that the Legislature at its
last meeting appoint a committee
to investigate matters in the desti
tute districts and Miss Barton wrote
a letter to tbe Governor calling atten
tion to the fact .that aid was needed
for those who lived on the in-land and
Gov. Tillman called attention to this
fact by a message to the Legislature
suggesting an appropriation for their
releif. The Legislature neither ap
pointed a committee to investigate nor
made any appropriation. It would
seem that the Legislature is to blame.
But now that the people are appealed
to we feel sure releif will be speedily
forth coming, but severe criticisms of
Miss Barton, it seems to us, are out of
order.
Governor Tillmnan seems to be happy
in his selection of State Constables and
State detectives if it is his purpose, as
it seems to be, to seiect reckless and
desperate characters. His latest de
tective, Mr. Newbold, of Texas, is quite
a gay bird. He should have been kept
in the ldekup at least long enough to
have straightened him out.
We doubt very much if prohibition
will be either considered or discussed
on its merits in the coming cam
paign. There will be Tillmanism and
the dispensary, and no telling what
else, and the people will subvert all
questions to politics.
There was still another lynching in
WHY NOT BE FAIR?
The Rev. J. A. Sligh, as cbairman of
the Reform Democracy of Newberry
County and member of the Reform
State Executive Committee, has issued
a call for the organization of Reform
Democratic clubs on the 23d of this
month. The call is published in an
s other column. If we remember correct
- ly the Rev. Mr. Sligh in the meeting of
r the executive committee spoke rather
sneeringly of the proposition of Gen.
r Hampton to organize National Demo
a cratic clubs and intimated that such a
t plan was in the direction of an indepen
:i dent movement. Now Rev. Mr. Sligh
f announces the organization of Reform
D clubs into the membership of which
only a certain faction is to be admitted,
- while in the clubs called by Gen. Hamp
r, ton all Democrats were invited to parti
a cipate. The Herald and News has not
I advocated the National clubs because
I, we have thought we had too many
t organizations and factions already,
e though we can see no harm in them ex
i cept that it gives demagogues an op
e portunity to talk about bolting the De
t mocracy.
e It would seem that the 'dea of the
L Reformers is to disfranchise the Con
; servatives as near as they can and
a while they get up and talk loudly about
- peace and haruiony, everything is
I being done to keep from having peace.
r They want peace, yes, but by a total
I disrespect and disregard of the rights of
- the minority and by a servile and
9 cowardly submission of the minority.
a The Herald and News believes in the
- rule of the majority and a submission
on the part of the minority tz the will
i of the majority and we have always
a bowed to that will, but we should re
- member that the minority has some
I rights which the majority must respeet
. and regard.
3 We appeal to the common sense of
r justice of the voters of this county and
t State and ask if it is right that the
a rights of the minority should be thus
; trampled upon and disregarded. W6
- have the primary system and it was
r given so that we could get a full and
I fair expresion of the public will. Do
I we get that when there is a caucus or
f primary within the party to which only
I a faction is allowed participation.
The Reformers, as we said sometime
a ago, if they want peace and harmony
7 should so act as to bring it about. The
- minority is not asking for anything but
t a fair showing and that their rights be
x respected. But there is a point beyond
r which endurance and submission ceases
I to be a virtue. The time may come
5 when the minority will be wanted and
I wanted badly. We would like for thq
a voters, the rank and file, to think about
f these things and in a calm and deliber
- ate way and ask themselves candidly
r if the methods used are right and just.
- The Herald and News is not wanting
I anything and is not writing in the in
terest of any candidate or faction but
we have only the common good at
-heart and having that we want to see
-fair play and justice.
-If the majority faction Is to have a
,primary of its own and rule out every
Sbody else, what in the' name of com
mon sense is the use of the general
primary. It will be a sham and a
mockery. Let there be justice done to
all factions and let everybody who
wants to, go into the general primary
and there let the will of the majority
say who is to be nominated as the
standard bearers.
-True, we are told there is to be no
caucus -in county affairs, then why
Ihave one for State offcers. If we are
all to be expected to support the nomi
nees we should be given a voice in
saying who they shall bei We submit
these -facts to the unprejudiced com
mon sense of the white voters of this
county and we ask them in candor If
we are not right. Why not be fair?
A white man was hanged in Green.
ville last Friday for having murdered
his father-in-law.
A negro was taken from the York
ville jail last Friday night a,nd lynched
by a mob of masked men. He had been
sentenced to he hanged on Friday but
his attorneys had taken, an appeal to
the supreme court. Lynch law is get
ting too frequent in this country. This
negro no doubt deserved his fate but
he should have been legally executed
and very likely would have been if let
alone. He was convicted of cruelly
murdering a white man for money.
Even if he had been given a new trial
he would scarcely liave escaped on a
second trial. There is a lawful way to
do things and these acts of mob vio
lence have a tendency to instil a disre
gard and a disrespect for all law.
Gov. Tiliman went to New York a
few days ago and on Monday addressed

We have struck a good thing now.
Why not remove all -the trial justices1

Yes, we say so too. We see no rea
son why they should not all be given
good fat places. They are men who will
do the Governor's will and they are the
men we want now. No man who darest
not do the will of Our. Noble Leader is
wanted in our business. This is no time
for judges and trial justices to have1
opinions or reach conclusions that are
not in accord with the reform idea of
things. t

THE PROHIBITION MEETING.
Delegates Elected to Columbia-Some
Strong Speaking on the Subject
Executive Committee Appointed
-The Blind Tigers to be
Looked After.
The prohibition mass meeting held
in the court house on Monday was
well attended. At one time the court
house was pretty well filled. The pro
hibitionists talked like they meant
business, but as talk does not count for
much we will have to wait for action
to see if they are in earnest. They
seemed to be agreed that the trouble
was going to be in managing and han
dling the blind tiger. They all felt
that-he was an enemy to prohibition
and should be belled, but the nuestion
that puzzled them was who was to do
the belling.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr. Arthur Kibler, a member of the
State Executive Committee.
Rev. W. L. Wait moved that Mr.
Kibler act as chairman of the meeting,
and it was so ordered.
Mr. J. G. Jenkins moved that the
secretary be appointed by the chair,
and it was so decided.
The chair appointed Geo. B. Cromer,
Esq., but he declined, and then Mr.
A. H. Kohn was appointed.
The chair said the first thing in
order was to have the call under which
they met read, and it was read by the
secretary, being the call issued by Mr.
Childs as State chairman and pub
lished in The Herald and News a few
weeks ago. This was 'simply a mass
meeting called for the common good.
They were met to discuss the liquor
traffic. Continuing, Chairman Kinler
said it was a big question. He could
not tell what the people present
thopght of it-whether they preferred
the open saloon to the dispensary, or
the dispensary to the open saloon. We
all know that absolute prohibition is
only a theory and cannot be attainea.
People will have whiskey, but if'the
open barrooms come again we will
have them for a generation. Having
heard from almost every part of the
county he believed that the whiskey
question in one form or another would
be the paramount question in the
coming campaign. We have victory
now, but whether we shall have vic
tory in the future depends upon our
own action. Our business now is to
discuss the best means of doing some
thing. The first thing for us to take
up is the advisability of putting out a
State ticket from Governor down.
- Mr. Jno. C. Neel: Have we not pro
hibition now? t
The chairman said he did not know
just exactly what we had, but possibly
r. Cromer could give us some light
on that subject.
Mr. Cromer said that the penalty
now. for selling spirituous liquors was
heavy enough, he thought. The fine
is $200. Only needed somebody to E
bring the offender to justice. Be '
wanted to see what the prohibitionists 1
were going to do. He had always a
fought for prohibition and was willing
to do it again, although he doubted
the practicability of prohibition. In
this fight we are going to have a trian
gular battle. Will have to fight the C
dispensary and its advocates. Some t
who were with you two and four years
ago are now in favor of the dispenswry J
plan. If it is right for anybody to sell
whiskey it is right for everybody to
sell it. It is just as right to have an
open barroom as it is to have a blind E
tiger over In the Phifer building. Till
man has no more right to enforce the
law than anyone else. Tillman
thought the dispensary was the solu-r
tion of the question. It was his pet e
scheme and it was his business to see
that it had a fair trial and was en- C
forced. Prohibition was the etJ
scheme of the prohibitionists and it b
was their business'to see that It was
enforced and given a fair trial. He 0
had read some resolutions of a prohibi
tion meeting and they declared for0
fourte.m distinct things; they were
shelling c: woods with grape shot.
The only way to enforce prohibition is
to enforce it. The thing for the prohi
bitionists to do is to stop blind tigers
the ones in town as well as those ind
the country. He was willing to go
with anybody who would organize the
sentiment of the county to put down
blind tigers. If you are not going to
enforce the law it is no use to pass res- a
olutions and hold meetings. When a
you work up the prohibitionists to the
point of enforcing prohibition then I
am with you. When you stand off
and expect trial justices and others to
enforce the law, then you are not going
to have It enforced. Mr. (Cromer of
fered his services to the prohibitionists
free of charge in giving counsel or ink
helping to have the law enforced.
Mr. A. H. Kohn said if this meeting c
does nothing else it will bring out the
condition of the bling tigers, and we
expect to agitate the question; and agi- c
tat,ion always results in good.
Mr. Jno. C. Neel: If you put out a
prohibition ticket I am with you. But t
we are not a prohibition people. The ti
thing was carried two 'years ago on
account of the prejudice of the country
pepeaantthe town people.C
I'elaiglwofficers of this county
will go in blind tigers, and in secret
will buy whiskey and treat. I do not
believe there are two hundred real
prohibitionists in this county. I voted c
l'or prohibition and I hoeI am a pro- h
Libitionist.. But this world is a world
:>f dollars and cents, and where there in
s profit, irs the thing you can't stop it.el
Chairman Kibler: Everyone must N
idmit the force of everything that has
>een said. Be must also ad mit that
~he present condition is better than ai
~he open barroom. The people are
itirred up on this question arid every
hing is in a very unsettled and chaotic t
~ondition. Suppose we report a blind s
iger and take a man before a trial jus
ice for violating the law, how do we
now hut that orders will be sent here m
o release him? We must have a posi- qt
ive law on the subject. We want the
-ia men in the Legislature to give us w]
positive law on the subject. We OU
wvant to get the people stirred up so
hat we can get the law enforced. I
ion't want to cut off all liquor.. Want
o get rid of the treating featuire. t
L'here are some men who must and
nill have Uiguor. We warit to reach *
he young men and boys. as
Mr. Jno. W. Scott: I don'tage
Fith Mr. Neel that the vote for rhi- to
>ition was the result of the prjdice th
>f the country people against the town. pr
admit thatthereiara great deal of' th
>rejudice. But prohbition was one
attle that was fought on its inerts.
)ur officers were not elected on iheir ~P
nerits, but when we discussed prohi- d
ition Tillman and anti-Tmllman came
ogether. Do not believe there are
wo hundred men in the county whM
Lo not drink, but if all the men wh
roted for prohibition never drank t
vhiskey there would be no use forI
>rohibition or of this meeting. But it
s for those of us who do sometimes,
infortunately, drink' too much of it. t
believe if we send delegates to a State tic
onvention we ought to instruct them co
o vote for the nomination of a full mI
state ticket. If we do not make the ev
Ight this year, and if we lose the v
~round we have already gained, we a
re gone for years to come. There is
ow a sentilnent in favor of prohibi
ion. I am proud of the vote I cast in er
he Legislature for prohibition, and it ti
vas carried in the House, bui; by wire
sulling and one thing and another it co
ras defeated. It has been intimated frc
hat we have prohibition now. Then rei
his is the time to fight to elect a ticket.
n sympathy with the law. Why was i
he dispensary a failure? Because thefa
sople were not in sympathy with It.vo
ron can't enforce a law with whichhi
he people are not in sympathy. The as
Ltate is in a deplorable condition. We
ave been arrayed by prejudice until vei
rother has been against brother, and ws
ave even gone so far as to shed blood. pr
'hose of us who are for prohibitionve
ave in our hands the olive laf andou
we go to the two factions and say
Lome brother and take hold of it witt

)crats can stand, and all the preacher
md good Christian people everywher
an stand along with us.
Mr. Neel: Was Mr. Scott in favor o
the disWnsar3?
Mr. Scott answered that he was.
Mr. Frank Moon: I voted for probi
bition, yet I have never believed i
ould be enforced. I was willing t<
see anything tried. You have got t
start away back before you can do any
thing much. A great many voted to
prohibition who are not in favor of it
It is wrong to make any law that yot
can't enforce-that you can't punisi
men for violating.
Rev. W. L. Wait: As a minister n
the gospel I feel it behooves me not t
enter political meetings or in any wa:
be contaminated with the dust of tb,
political arena, but when it comes to :
moral question such as this I hope yoi
will not think it out of place in m,
rising to say a word. We need a pub
lie sentiment back of all law that wil
enforce it. If a man steals from yoi
or strikes you and you prosecute hin
public sentiment will sustain you, bu
if he sells your friend or relative tha
which will ruin him for all time an<
damn him in eternity, and you prose
cute him, public sentiment will no
sustain you. Have we two hundrec
practical prohibitionists who will stan(
up in the face of all opposition and pu
a stop to this thing of violating th4
law? Men are afraid to take the risk
:f - prosecuting violations of the lai
because they are afraid of that pubh<
entiment which does not sustair
tbem. The man who goes into thii
hing must make up his mind to be i
tartyr. We ought to send as dele
gates to the State convention the besl
nen we have in the county, and w(
ivant all good men to come in line. It
nay be accidental prohibition that wE
3ave, and it may be strong enough,
:ut it will take a lot of trouble to en
orce it. Suppose we tree a blind tigei
tud have it arrested; we go to the trial
ustice and then to the circuit court
md the supreme court, and it is a
3und-about way and will give a lot of
rouble. We want to send men to the
legislature who are prohibitionists in
entiment and practice. If we can get
6 dispensary law that will relieve us of
he odium of licensing and receiving
evenue from the sale, let us have that.
lut let us organize an executive com
nittee. Let us take the offrr of Mr.
,romer to be counsel for the commit
ee, and let everyone undertake to
rooecute violations of the law. It will
ake away some of the odium to have
his done through a committee ap
eointed by thib meeting. We can bring
ur information to the committee. I
m not afraid to swear out a warrant,
>ut there are many men who are. Let
Ls have a head. Why not let this com
aittee put up its speakers and have
d'eetings in the county to bring this
tiatter before the people? We are too
auch like the mice you have read
bout. Th6y held a meeting and
assed resolutions and all came to the
onclusion that the cat was an enemy
nd should be belled, but the question
bat puzzled them was who was to bell
bat cat. We are all agreed that the
iger is a dangerous animal and should
e belIed, but who is to bell the tiger?
ut this question of prohibition will
ot down until it is settled right. If
re are downed to-day let us try it
gain to-morrow, untii the thing is
nttled right. When we stand at the
ar of God we shall be held responsible
)r what we have done. Let us do the
Mr. Kohn moved that we go into an
ection for eight delegates to the State
invention to be held in Columbia
une 7.
Mr. Neel moved that t.he delegates
e Instructed to oppose the nomination
r a State ticket.
Mr. Scott moved that the sentiment
Ethis mass meeting is in favor of a
ll State ticket.
Rev. Mr. Wait: When we get ready
ir a full State ticket I will be with
Dn, but I think the best thing we can
) is to pick otft eight good men and
ind them without instructions. I
yn't like this thing of putting up a
tan and then telling him what you
ant him to do, as if you did not have
ifidence in. him.
Mr. Neel's motion had no second
id.Mr. Scott withdrew his.
Mr. Neel moved that a committee of
ebe appointed to bring in nomnina
ans for delegates.
The chair a ppointed as that commit
e: Jno. C. Neel, J. G. Jenkins, T. J.
ennis, G. M. Sligh,. and I. H. Boul
are.
The chairman said it would be well
have a large executive committee.
Mr. T. E. Epting moved that the
air appoint an executive committee
one from each township
Mr. W. F. Wright moved that the
airman be the member from No. 1
)wnshi p, and the motion was adopted.
Rev. Mr. Wait moved that Mr. Ar
ur Kibler be chairman ot the execa
,e committee, and it was adopted.
The committee on delegates reported

Mr. Cromer and Mr. Wait said they
uld not attend. Mr. L M. Smith

Rev. Mr. Wait: What are we going
do to suppress these blind tigers?
e have counsel at no cost, and some
iig should be done. The committee
ould see after prosecutions. The
inmittee should also appoint public
~etings for the discussion of the
estion.
Dhairman Kibler: -Don't know
ether we are to do that. Think we
gin to leave the matter of bringing
secutions to the officers of the law.
>n't think we ought to act as spies.
e pmeed the right kind of officers.
Rev. Mr. Wait:. No officers are going
become official informers. What w e
ght to do is toput some one forward
a public prosecutor, who would re
ye information and communicate it
the committee, and he moved ,to an
rize the committee to act as public
isecutor in all cases of violations of
a liquor law that are brought to
ir attention.

line of

ad give the trade the benefit of close
rices for the.balance of the Spring and
summer. I have but littre rent to pay,
[ do not depend on this business for my
eneral expenses, but am doing it for
your benefit; to have something to
1; and to make a little extra money.
Eor the present I will be in a portion of
~he store now occupied by Mr. Eduard
Scholtz, next door to Robertson & Gil
ler's Drug Store, and as soon as the
New Postoffice Building is finished I
will occupy a room in that building ad
oning the Postoffice. In my absence
[ expect to arrange to have an expe
rienced salesman to serve you. I have
greant faith in the future of Newberry,
md I am beginning in a small way to
eep step with it, as it advances. I
>romnise you the benefit of twenty years
xperience in buying and selling the
rade of this County and State, which is
guarantee that you .will always get as
~oodl values from me for your money as
