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.”

AH Nature Looks tor Spring,
and la it not natural? Yet this is a
season that is characterised by a feel
ing of “malaise,” when biliousness
becomes mo-e prevalent than at any
other time during the year, the sym-
toms being a bitter taste, offensive
breath, coated tongue, sick headache,
and loss of apatite. If this condi
tion is allowed to continue serious
and fatal consequences may follow.
Do you know that Cleveland Springs
meets all these requirements, and a
few weeks stay there will make you
ft el as if you had a new lease on life?

A WARNING TO EVIL-DOERS.
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.
