ELBERT H. AULL, P Wx. P. BOUsEA L, ELTERT H. AULL. E.)irojY. t HERE AND T2[EBE. While the Rev. J. A. Siigh was lan bazting me at the barbecue near his house last Friday and pouring forth his Philipies and getting so near that botter land that the fire sparkled and the per spirat'on took the place of insiration, I was in the quiet little vi1age fEasley, right at the foot of the Blue Ridge, thinking of pleasanter things than the dirt and mire of polities. I would re mind the Reverend Jefferson A. Sligh, in all kindness, that he "Who soars too near the &==, with -o:den Mets h; to ruin hi OWD IOrine r They say that be did "everlastingly1 go for me" in language not altogether, elegant. Poesibly not just snch lan guage as he would use in one of his ser mono, or as he would commend as being uttered by a Christian gentleman! They do say he was very, very peirsonaL That is the plan of attack of the average politician in this day. To suil into a) man who is hundreds of miles away.' But I did not think that the Rev. J. A. Sligh would so far depart from the pre cepts of the gospel of pesce and broth- t erly love which he is supposed to preach I cannot descend to the plane upon which be is said to have pitched his attack If he thinks he has scored a point orgaineda victory by such a cow ardly proceeding he is welcome to all he has mad out of it. I suppose the newspapers tbat had represeptatives there wil print what he said and I hope they wflL I want him to see it in cold type. Possibly he will look over it in his cooler moments and be able to realie how unkind and anChristian it was to say what he said. "Chickens wi come home to roost.'' I can bide1 my time. Some of my eriticisms of his public acts must have gone directly home or he would not have become so angry, for they tell me he was mad. I am very sorry that he should lose his tem per. If I am not mistaken I have beard Mr. SLigh talk loudly on the stump about the"hit dog always yelpr." I want to say to Mr. Sligh, how ever, that so far as wanting to break his Influence in the county or trying to cut off his head, is concereed, he is laboring under a very grave misappre hension. 1 was glad when he got to be Railroad Commisoner and hope he will be eleeted again. You have never heard of me fighting a Newberry man f?r any praition he could get. I have al ways stood by my county and h er men, even when they did not like me per son*ally. His political infinence and his poAiiea head do not concern me in the least. I ah*fl continue to do my du:y as I see it. I am asking for no ofice. I have no personal ends to se eure. I am not trying to play upon. :he pasins and prejudices of the peo pie. Neitherhave I any candidate for any ofe. I am in'position to speak out the trut.h as I see it. The Herald and News is no man's organ, but sa for those things that are right, anid just and true. It is in position to advoeste those things that will be for the good and the prosperity and the happinea and the peace of all the peo pie. Does the Rev. .l. A. Sligh occupy that position? Is he naot trying with might arnd main to draw the lines and ectir' "p the prejudie of the people? Is it not for the purpose of advancing his own personal ends? Is he not an offce holder, and does he not want to con tinue in that pleasant vocation? Is he not more concerned in advancing the interests of J. A. Sligh than those of the people? "Cromwell. I eharge thee, fling away ambition. By that sin fell the angels." This is not the first time the Rev. J. A. Sligh has tried to injure me and 1 The Herald and News. It is true, as The Herald and News said last week, that politicians have no gratitude. No doubt Mr. B1igh hates me worse n',w than if I had never supported him in County politics. "If there can be a crime Of deeper dye than all the gentle train Of human vIces, 'tis ingratitude." I have not made it a personal matter. If be desires to make it such, well and t good. I do not believe the people of Newberry County are going to be ledt about by the nose and driven like dumb cattle. I am not going to try it.t I believe the man who does will get left. I respect their intelligence andt power of discrimination, and shall al- c ways appeal to and rely on their comn mon sense, and their good judgment, and their appreciation of right and ju~- i tice. I would like for Rev. Mr. illgh to specify. I1 am willing to stand by the p record and by that to be judged. It is ( a very easy matter in thin day to make;i charges, but let the people have? the 'I proof. All that I have sid is of record, j and if you have not kept the files they ar in~ The Herald and News offlee and at your disposal. Let the proof be I forth cowing and let the people judge iemnemuber thin: The Herald andI NewsnI io man's organ and will con tinue to say what It thinks, bearin~g h malice to none, and having onily in 0 view the good of all the people of thin I state. We know that peace and liar zuony in not what you want. You do i' no't dleslie to s.-e the white people I united. That would not ne-rve, yo-ar t: sne o well aa, having them: stirred up '# and their prjudles :.aouned. If you I think you are doiuz your duty and ": serving the peopleI best by tryinug to Is injure me, whby pro:e-dl. You will have ~I your rewardi. The~ I ie-raldI and News will et purnue the even t'-n'r '4 ts way, un- ni mlnte5d by fear and1 unawedj by your vituperatioin and slanders. Tihe peopille witll find out by and by whether y'our ti attacks are just or uunjust. We shall h: not reply to you in kind. bi I would like for Mr. Hllgh to spe*elfy er in what particular have I been unjust. e When have I bee.: nufair?. Would be at have me always to thinsk Just as he doen? w iT so, he hns waked un the wronrg mean. b [will do my own thinting and speak bose things I think are right and just without abusing any one. When have [ made any fings at him? When I iave had anything to say about his >ublic acts I have said it direct, open Lnd above board. That, I shall con inae to do. But if he can show me my instance in which I have abused 2im I will admit it and apologize. sbuse is not argument and I have iever resorted to it in The Herald and I-ews. I did not intend to say this much in his connection on this subject. It was ny purpose to write about education Zd teaching and teachers. It is a )leasanter subject. One that deserves nore attention. In my rambling letter about the tate Teachers' A.sociation last week I mitted one thing I desired to refer to hat was to me very interesting and >ne in which all the people of the State hould feel an abiding interest. One night during the week Superin endent Walker, of the Cedar Springs nstitute,delivered a lecture on instruct ng the blind and deaf and dumb. He ad a young man there who was blind rom childhood and yet he could read ight along and write by the point sys em. This young man was also an ae omplished musician. There was also L young lady from the institution wbo was deaf and dumb and yet he had timost taught her to talk. It isa great work that is being done at this institu ion, and the State should give it lib -ral support and encouragement. Prof. Frank Evans, of our town, was -ut on a committee along with Hon. W. A. Courtenay of Charleston and Dr. ras. Woodrow, of Columbia, to take nto consideration the matter of having t geological survey of the State made. rbis is an important matter, and I 2ope they will be able to get the ear of >ur Legislators. Last Monaay I went to Anderson wd spent a couple days there. The zunty institute was in session, con lucted by Prof. Albert, of Pennsylva ia, assisted by Prof. Sheridan, of )rangeturg, and Miss Fannie McCants, >f Columbia. Prof. Albert has had a good deal of perience in this line of work, and his ectures were very good and gave you iomething to think about. Miss Me ,ants is a teacher in the Training chool in Columbia, and is well up in Ler work and understands how to im xrt instruction. School Commissioner Russell is an mthusiastic school man, having been teacher himself for many years. The natitute was well attended and much nteriest was taken. The exercises were 2eld in the Patrick Military Institute >uilding. I desire to make acknowi ~dgment of the courtesy and kindness shown me by 3Mr. Russell. Anderson seems to be a good busi sess place. The whole town was Iraped in mourning the afternoon I Lrrived, it being the Lime for the burial > Mr. E. B. Murray, whose unfortu 2ate death had occurred on Saturday revious. The business houses all ~losed, and the capacious Baptist burch would not begin to accommo late the large crowd who turned out to lo honor to his memory. His death is, loss to the State as well as Anderson. is death had cast a gloom over the ~ntire community. I met here, as you meet almost every rhere you go, ceveral New berry men. [here was Dr. J'ohnstone, and 3Messrs. Eong and Mayes, and there may be >hers there also. Anderson has a big fine hotel, and is igitating the question of graded schools, bough there are several most excellent rivate schools. She is ahead of us in hat she has water works and an elec rc plant, but Newberr-; will soon be line in this particular. From Anderson I went to Seneca ad thbence to Easley in Pickens County n full view of the mountains. Here vas thbe Pickens County, Institute in ssion conducted by Prof. E. L. fughes, of Greenville, ably assisted by disses Goldsmith and Hill, also of ireenville. Prof. Hughes is one of the iest all-round institute men I have net with in this State. He is a good alker and knows what to say, and says omething when be talks, and the in rest never lags. He is an accom ,lisbed musician, as well as a good lec urer. He delivered a public lecture .ne night last week on Hamlet, and$ it vas very fine. I enjoyed It very much. le has also a good lecture on the man the moon. Mr. Bright, the School Comumis loner, is a wide awake man, and has ut new life in the schools in Pickens )Unty. There was as much interest i this institute as any I have at tended. 'ere is new life In the schools in old 'ickens. I stopped at the Mountain View otel, kept by Mrs. Blaylock, and it ould be a very pleasan t place to spend everal weeks. Oni my return bo'we I stopped over Greenville, anid took lodging with ur formrer host at Newberry, Mr. I. A. lantons, who now han charge of the e:w Winsd,or. Hie In doing well and pleas.d with bln new surroundings. I e has a go->d place and keeps a good t ,la, and' thoe who stop with hirm t 'il find pili te anid courteous attention. [-:e ini Grenville, also, in a new firm Newberry ruen. Messrs. Kohin & 1 lrge, of Prosperity, have gone inI the riture buiee, and I hope will be ccessul. They are Jive muen and will I I wanted to stop over and see nome ilg ohf Clemis,r College, but didl not I a opportunity on this trip. I hope have not bored the reader in thin rami- 1 lug letter. I amr lateresnted in the ue o,f educatlion and if the reader ins I,,ht.b sh'ul be-. if i can do or say ' y thinug to cate an interest in the ork iwhil be glad. If somnething car, a .,..ei th,.t wills arou.e . though t or move to a bigber impulse I will be pleased. There is a growImg interest in this state in the causeof popular education. [ feel that it argues well for the future )f the State, and I hope that nothing will be done to retard the progress in this direction. All lovers of their State hould lend a helping hand in this irection. Let us all cease bickerings td strifes and unite in an effot to ele vate and lift up humanity. Let as in til principles of kindness and brotherly love. Life was not given us to be 5pent in quarreling and faultfinding andsaying and doing unkind things. rt is greater and nobler and mere god lixe to minister than to be ministered unto. Think of these things when you re tempted to do your neighbor an in justice. E. H. A. The Herald and News told the Pro. bibitionists some time ago if they wanted to do anything or ever ex pected to do anything, this was their Dpportunity. If they do not get pro bibition now the opportunity is gone for a long time. The executive com. mittee on Monday decided to call a eonvention on the30th for the purpose of putting out a legislative ticket. We do not believe it will amount to very much, but it will complicate matters a little. We beleive a good strong State ticket of solid, substantitl men would have made things very .vely, but a legislative ticket in one ecunty will do very little good. But let them come; we are on the fence, sapporting no cadidate and prepared to vote for the best men who put in an appearance. Col. R. M. Scokes, the veteran editor of the Union Times, has retired from the editorial field. He will carry with him in his retirement the good will of the brethren and the consciousness of duty well and &aithfully done. He has al*ays found standing for truth and with the courage to maintain his posi. tion. The Herald and News wishes him many years of quiet and peace in his retirement. The Times passes into the hands of a company and is edited by Mr. Josiah Crudup. We wish him success in his new field. Prendergast, the murderer of Mayor Harrison, was hanged in Chicago on Friday. H went bravely to the scaf fold and died without a struggle and without a word. Hon. Geo. D. Tillruan writes a good letter declining to be a candidate for Governor now. Read it and see if you do not conclude he is the man who should be nominated. As we have stated before, there are only five candidates so .ar from Edgefleld for State offlces. That is a very mild and modest re quest for Edgefield to make. J. M. Caughman, P. I. Rawl, G. T. Graham and twenty other citizens of Lexington have signed a call to organize the Peoples party in that county. In the Register of Saturday we find this paragraph: "Commissioner Sligh went home sick on Tuesday and was thereby pre vented from attending the inspection 0f the Remini extension, or as it is cor rctly called, the Manchest er and Au gusta Railroad." This no doubt explains his utterances on Friday. His liver is out of order and he needs some liver' regulator. He should proceed at once to take a physic. It will do him good. Your Uncle Geo. Tillman is some thing of a humorous as well as a states man. The Editor of The Herald and News will be absent for two weeks more at least. We would say to "Chips" that what we said last week was not intended as any reflection upon him; and if he thinks so, we regret it. We had no su:h purpose, and if what we said could be so construed we regret it, and assure "Chips" that nothing was farther from our purpose. We do not deal in that kind of warfare. The Reformers have decided to do away with primary plan and go back to the old convention system. That is wat the action of the Reform State Executive Committee means. Those who are not inside the charmed circle are to stand aside and grin and endure. hey cannot even go befn>e the people and submit their claims in the general primary. Brother Sligh has smote us upon one heek. He can have the other if ho wants it. Let hinm keep up that game ust as long as he thinks it consistent with his sense of duty and responsi bili y as a Christian mInister. But we warn him to take heed to his steps lest 1e fall. The great strike is over, and without my benefit to the strikers. The rail oads alone come out wit hi a los,s esti ratcd bet ween $.5,000),000 and $,8000,000J. ?resdent Cleveland Is generally cred ted with doing the right thing at the roper time when he issued his procla nation ordering the troops to the scene. Is decisive action broke the backbone if the strike anyhow. The State campaign is moving along sud has gotten beyond the halfway nark. Not much interest has been groused.- Gov. Tillman in his first and ast utterance in his speech in Charles on offered an insult to the people of bat city and they refused to he.ar him. ,e are sorry they did not let him peak, for such utterances always re io>,rid on the man who utters them vith more force than he sends them. (et'uone cannot much blameChr.rleston. ut he said what he did for the use e could make of it and in ->rder to nake the people do just wh.at they lid. He would have been disappointed they had niot done what they did. Col. Cal Caughman has ab.o been iowled down. There is nothing elevat ng in such proceedings. The last ef es. week the procession will reach f ewterry. We hope all the speakers vill be given a respectful hearing. If ny ont does not intend to do that, he hould not attend the meeting. PROSPERITY LLEE PROSPERFITY, July 17.-R-v. V. Y. Boozer left here from his field of labrr lasst Thursday. Prosperity is juttly proud of this young preacher and re grets his lesving South Caro,ina. 17?e is an ornament to his profession and hisCollege. South Carolina needs bis services, Newberry College needs his active support, and our synod should not lose its most promising young divines. But North Carolina must: gain what we lose. The Lutheran Sunday-school Con vention of Newberrv County will ,e held in Grace church August 1.5 and li. Prof. Arthur Kibler, of Newberrv. was here 3onday evening. Mr. Marion Warner of Abbeville county is spending a few days around hisold home. While writing tlpis, I am on my way to Columbia, having the company of Hart and Ernest Samuel as far as Irno, and Mr. B. C. M%oseley to the end of the line. Mr. J. W.

Look he-c, candidates, get up a move. we boys are beginning to get some time now to talk politics, and it is no telling who wil: be elected. Bachman Chape: Sunday-school elected the fo:lowing delegates to the County tnioa Sundav school Convention at Eethlehe:n church on the :st and 2d of August: Jeffersor. Quatt:ebaum, D. M. B. Livingston and T. J. Wilson. We only see one thing in The Herald and .News' reply to our letter last week that we care to notice, and that is the voint that says we must rid ourselves of so much narrow partisanship. Now, Mr. Editor, we are always free to ad:nit that our book sense is somewhat limited, and we feel the need, ev-ry day, of our mind being more cultivated, and we think it very imprudent for a man of your gumption, who has had all the ad vantages of education, to reflect upon a man that has had to pick up what he knows almost in a trop. Now if you want to make argument out of accusing other people of being na:-ow minded just because they don't think as you do, we have no objection. This is not a matter left with us to decide. The people are to ba the judge who is narrow and who is broad. In the afternoon there wil: be addresses made by others suital)le to the occasion. While we want to see a large congregation present, we don't mean this for a political stampede. This day is set apart to the edification of the childrem, and we trust that there will be nothing done or said to mar the good that is intended. Come, yes come, a general invita-:on is entemded to a!!. Come and help us erjoy the day w.h the children. The dinner widl he a picnic dinner, aud it is needie,s for me to have any,.hing to say in -egard of soi:ci tation for the people to bring with them well Slled baskets. We all know that anything other-I wise would prove all nic and no pic. We ex tend a special invita'ion to you, Mess-s. Editors; come: it is always unde:stoodl that editors drop in .'-ee. Refreshments will be furnished that day, and 'he proflis of the proceeding will he divided among the two schools. Now <.on't hesitate in buyiag a glass of lemonade, for it .nay do your soi'l as well as your hody good. The committee to serve re freshmnents is, James Itibler and J. It. Epps. We to'r in Kihler and Koon's barbecue last Saturday for tha first of the season. In order to keep our letter 'rom ~,>e'ng to lengthy, we will boil down to as few words as possible. There was a pretty good crowd present, hut not a very full de - egation of candidates. The day seemed to be en joyed very much by all p:-esent. There is no need of'complimenting the dinner. 'I o say that G. S. Livingston -barbecued the meat and M. L. Kinard made the tiash, just means a good dinner any where. Dr. C. T. Wyche was die only candidate present for the House of Representatives. In order to ca.rry- out the old custom, of course, there had to be so.ne speaking. In the afternoon the crowd was called together by Dr. Werts, who acied as cihairman. The first speaker introduced was Dr. Wyche. Dr. Wyche began by saying that he was always willing to speak when called upon. It is neces sary for the people to think; it is time for the oeo pie to think. He spoke of the way the finanici:l power had manipulated the whole government; also touching upon the tariff question, saying t,iat the only way for the people to get f-om under high tariff is by organization against the monopolhst power of thiedand. I want to see South Carolina stand up) for the reform movement as she has done. The re.orm movement has been the salvation of the country. I say that Ben Tillmnan is doing more for the people than any other man has ever done in the State. The oppos-tion party will tyv to use the liquor question. I think it better to es tablish the dispensary than to go back to the old bar:ooms. I believe i.hat the profit system should be kinocked out of the dispensary law to a cert.ain extent, and I believe it will be done. I don't think that the liquor question ought to be the dominate one. Rev. J. A. Sligh was present and a number of voices rang thiough the air calling for Sligh to come to the stand. Mr. Sligh got up and tried to excuse himnself by sayig that lie felt very unwell and did not care to speak, but the people called until he had to come. Mr. Siigh said he wanted to give us a little information in regard to tne 4tate Reform co-nmitlee as he is a member of that committee. He explained what the com mittee had done at the meeting on the zoth in stant; told of the diffe:-ent changes in the time for all local, county and State reform clubs to meet. [will not mention all, as a full account was given in last week's Herald and News.] Hefurther said, I don't want you to get those meetings mi::ed up with the regular County Democratic Convention, and also enplned the neces.sity of the reform party organizing and standing shoulder to shoul der. The conservative party despise that word "oganize." Why? Ilecause they know it means their defeat, but I am sorry to say that some of our reformers have changed and gone over. Can any man in the State say that I haveever changed the least? If they do they have done the changing I am tne same to-daty as I have always been. He explai'ed in a brief manner how the national{ government was controlled and under the pres ent rule of the government the people were grow ing poorer and poorer. Why don't we get more for'-ur cotton? The)- tell you it is over-production. It is no such thing. It is under-consumption. There never was a better t=me for a rich man to( live than now. How are you going to vote, for Tillman c.' -gainst him? If you want to vote for Tiliman, you must vote for Tillnman candidates. If you want to vr,c for Elutler, you can just vote for Butler candidates. Dr. Wert.s, J. Chesley Domin ick and F. F.. May- - bin were called uprm, aiid all rerponded in a brief manner. Now you can tell our f:ien.d M. he can look at( these notes if he desires, and not bother little newspaper r' rters (as he calls them) any miore when they are not bothering him. CuiPs.
