A DIVISION IN THE CAMP. The Columbia Register does not feel kindly towards the junior Senator from South Car olina, and the breach between them has been widened consid erably of late by the removal of Mr. Rupert Calvo, a son of the proprietor of the Register, from a position which he held in the folding room of the Senate, which removal, according to that paper, was due in great measure, if not entirely, to the machinations of Mr. Irby. This, however, the Senator strongly denies. But, notwithstanding his denial, the Mq/is/er does not seem to believe him, and pro ceeds to criticise him somewhat harshly. As we have had occa sion to remark before, those who allied themselves with the “Farmer’s Movement” from no higher motive than for the sake of the offices to be obtained, are bound to fall out among them selves in the end if let alone, as there are not enough offices to go around. The Register may rail as much as it pleases at Senator Irby—it cannot hurt him as long as he and Governor Tillman remain together, and should anything ever occur to create a breach between these two chieftians, it will not re quire the services of the Regis ter to relegate the junior Senator to the obscurity from whence he so suddenly and so suprising ly sprung. THE PROHIBITION SENTIMENT. The County Prohibition Con vention on Monday was slimiy attended, and was a tame affair all round. For some reason, which we are unable to fathom, now that they have actually secured the boon they seemed to want so much, there does not appear tobe that enthusiasmover the result among the masses that was to have been expected from the large numbei of votes polled for prohibition at the last general election. If one-fourth of the voters who deposited those ballots had shown enough interest in the cause to appear at Monday’s meeting, they would have aroused an enthus iasm which would have made the movement a potent factor in the approaching campaign. As it is, if the prosent sentiment in Darlington county is any index of the feeling that ex ists in the rest of the State on this subject, the prohibitionists will have to wake up consider ably, or it will not be known that they are anywhere around when the day of election comes. College, in Columbia, cervod with rejoicings by his many friends in Darlington, where he spent four of the best years of his life and, as pastor of the Methodist Church, ac complished a fine work. Mr. Rice is quite a young man for such a responsibility, but his friends feel sure that he will prove fully equal to it. He not only possesses unusual ability, but has considerable aptitude as a teacher, so it is safe to pre dict that its new president will keep the college up to the high position it has always occupied among the educational institu tions of the State. Such is the story as obtained, told plainly and without color. M. Power, a young man hailing from John white _ Florence and well known in the lower part of the State, has been arrested by the police on a bench warrant from Florence. Mr. Power came here about the first of the week. He became involved into several difficul ties. He was to have been resent at the Court of General ssions just adjourned at Florence in answer to the charge of assault and battery of a high and aggravated na ture. He was convicted of the charge in his absence and a sealed sentence was left for him. He will be taken back to Florence to receive sentence. A State Detective on the War Path. [Columbia Regiiiter.] Just in front of the city hall yerterday afternoon W. H. Newbold, a white man, who claims to hail from Texas, made an attempt to shoot Mayor Sloan, although he was under arrest at the time. Newbold has been seen about the State Capitol a good deal of late, and since his arrest it has developed that he is in the employ of the State as a detective. He is bad ly wanted by the Attorney Gen eral to-day, it seems, as a wit ness in cases in Florence, which cases are supposed to be the cases of dispensary smashing arising out of the recent Dar lington trouble. The story leading up to the final confinement of Newbold yesterday afternoon is an inter •sting one in all particulars. It seems that Newbold has been here several days, together with another young man, who has just been convicted in Florence of an assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, and who was yesterday bound over to the higher court in this county for a similar offense. On Tuesday night, the young man referred to raised quite a racket in this city and pulled out a pis tol. It was a weapon belong ing to the State of South Caro lina. Yesterday morning when he was brought before the may or and fined, the concealed weapon was confiscated and herein began the trouble. Newbold went to Mayor Sloan’s residence during the af ternoon and stated that he was a detective and owned the wea pon and demanded its return. The mayor told him if he could produce proof that he was a re gularly appointed officer he would turn the weapon over to him. Newbold presented a note from Attorney General Buch anan, who asked the mayor to deliver the pistol to Newbold, as he was an officer of the Si ate. He told the mayor that he would have to give up the weapon and he began to threaten, so Mayor Sloan says. The mayor told him he had struck the wrong man to bulldoze. Mayor Sloan says that Newbold then stepped back outside the gate, Ahrew back his coat, displaying a pis tol and tpld him that he was tired of talking and that if he (the mayor) would step out there they would settle the whole thing. Mayor Sloan was un armed, and stepping back in the house he sent'a messenger to tell the chief of police to meet him at Mr. Buchanan’s resi dence. The mayor put on his coat and came up to see Mr. Buchanan. He told the Attor ney General what had tran spired. Mr. Buchanan did not uphold Newbold and asked the mayor what he intended to do. Mayor Sloan said he intended to lock Newbold up. Mr. Buch anan wished to give bond for his appearance, stating that he was obliged to have the man for a witness- in Florence to-day The mayor refused. Mayor Sloan then came up street and made out a warrant for the arrest of the man. Offi cers were sent to watch outgo ing trains About G o’clock a message was received from the Attorney General that Newbold was at his office ready to submit to arrest. Sergeant Hamilton went do^vn for him. Newbold came up street with him quietly enough and the officer made no attempt to disarm him. The sergeant, meeting officer Kraft, stopped in front of the city hall. The Governor’s private secreta ry, Mr. Thompkins, went to see the mayor, but Mayor Sloan re fused to let anyone stand the fel low’s bond: he said that $40 cash would have to be put up before Newbold could be releas ed. The mayor finally came down and passed near by. One of the officers says that he re marked, “There goes thed n scoundrel now. I intend to kill him.” At any rate very short ly afterwards, the mayor beini some distance away, Newbol •ed out a pistol Before he could make use of it, it was wrenched from his hand: the “nippers” were placed on him and the officers started to the station house with him amid great excitement. It is said against the parties that looted the dispensary at Frorence. I have endeavored to satisfy their minds on several occasions, and now they must only wait and be convinced by the result.” Sudden's Arnica Salve.

While the tragic end of Will Thomas, with his many aliases, at the scene of his repeated crimes against society, and when in the very act of consum mating another of his nefarious undertakings, should serve as a solemn warning to all evil -doers, the good people of Lamar and its vacinity, who for many months past have been at the mercy of this ruffian and his robber-band, are to be congrat ulated upon being relieved of him at last. It is to be hoped that with his “taking off” an end will come to the unlawful depredations to which their homes have been so long sub jected. The local military com pany, which was ordered out to protect the wounded negro, per formed its duty well. It has been called upon for “service” while the organization is in its very infancy, so to speak, and we hope that ft wtlt always b*t as successful in upholding the law as it was on this occasioi . AN ADMIRABLE SELECTION. . The news of the election ol , Newbold has threatened to the Rev. J. A. Rice to tho Pre j kill both the nayor and the sidency ot the Methodist Female | chief of police before he stops. (The State.) H. W. Newbold, the Texas ranger detective, now in the employ of the State, was a cen ter of attraction yesterday. There was a good deal of inter est in his case. There is no lon ger any question that Newbold has for months been in the em ploy of the State. Governor Tillman yesterday, in talking about the detective, said that he had been in the special em ploy of the State for the past four months, and that he had worked up the Columbia cases, which have died out. Newbold has managed to tie a pretty tight knot in the Florence dis pensary case and was to have gone there to testify. He says that Newbold explains his an ger by believing that the offi cers were trying to prevent his going to Florence and being in collusion with the Florentines, as well as working in a little spleen for having gotten up the Columbia cases. This was, however, merely in Newbold’s imaginative mind. Governor Tillman says that the detective ought of course not to have lost his head. Newbold, it appears, will be heard from again, as he has other cases pending and since the Darlington tragedy has been quite active in his work, and not afraid of what task he tackles. His experience here, however, was unexpected. Be sides spending the night in jail, he had to arrange to draw a slice of his salary, and paid out $80 in fines and $20 in lawyer’s fees. ***** Newbold, when called upon to testify, said that he went to the Mayor’s house with the most peaceful intentions. That the mayor first became irritated and then it was that Newbold said to him if he wanted to make it a pers >nal matter he would set tle it in the street. He said he had no idea of shooting him but that he did not care to be insult ed in a man’s own house. His testimony fully corroborated the mayor’s statement. Mr. Me Master argued that no disor derly conduct had been proven: that the neighborhood had not been disturbed and that what Newbold did he had a per fect right to do even though he was talking to the President of the United States. Mr. Brennen questioned New- bold as to his business. He said that he came from Texas, where he inherited $11,000 and had farmed and had been in the cattle business. He afterwards went into the detective business. Nothing of special importance was brought out by this exami- n a t.i o n. Alderman Brennen then fined Newbold $40 or ten days in that case and proceeded to take up the conduct of New- bold in front of the city hall. The facts developed were as has been stated and a similar fine was imposed as in the first in stance. The case of resisting an officer which was the same as the second case was then dis missed.
