THE HARM HERALD Established July 16th, 1890. Destroyed bv Eire Deeenber 15th, 1890 Re-Established February 11th, 1891. W. D. WOODS, Editor. T. J HRFW ' Publisher and I/i\Ls VY , j xsuttineMM IVtanager. One Dollar a Year. DARLINGTON, S. 0. Wednesday, August 17, 1892. A DEPLORABLE PIECE OF WEAK NESS. The action of Governor Buchanan, the weak and vacillating Chief Mag istrate of the State of Tennessee, in commuting the sentence of H. Clay King, who, after a fair trial, and with a formidable array of counsel to defend him, had been convicted of a deliberate and cold-blooded murder, can not be too strongly condemned, amounting, as it does, to a declara tion that a man of means and social ^ • position will not be allowed to pay the penalty of his crime on the gal lows. The only mitigating circum stance connected with the case, and which reflects the greatest credit on the court and jury, is the fact that they did the full measure of their duty, aud but for the utterly inex cusable and reprehensible interfer ence of the Governor, the majesty and power of the law would have been vindicated and this hewtless villian have met his just deserts by dying the death of a felon. Col. King was utterly devoid of shame and honor, and his conduct during the years that culminated in this tragedy, was disgraceful in the last degree, and should have brought upon him the scorn and indignation of all honorable men. A man who could be guilty of such heartless conduct, towards the wife whom he had promised to honor and protect, rarely repents of his misdeeds, and his penitence and re gret is only for the consequences of the act, but not for the act itself. Without the murder, his couduct was such as to richly merit impris onment in the penitentiary, and the blood of the brave and upright man, whose life he took, is practically unavenged. The thing that needs the sternest condemnation of all is the effort made by people, outside ef the State, to save the life of a man who deserv ed to die, if ever any one did, and who had wrought his own undoing. There ought to be no consideration shown to such misplaced sentiment that puts a misplaced pity against the vindication of the law. For the humblest signer of the petition, for the commutation of the sentence, to the Governors and Senators who in- terferred in a matter where they should have kept silent, there must be but one opinion and that one of scorn and indignation. They have given the laws of the State of Ten nessee a blow from which they will not soon recover, and have brought reproach not only upon that State but upon the whole South, and have opened the door fof the application of mob law the very first time a cold-blooded murder is committed, and will be, morally, more responsi ble than the infuriated mob that metes out such swift punishment. The life of a man like David Pos ton is worth a thousand such lives as that of Col. King’s and yet the fami ly of the murdered man, too law abiding to seek vengeance them selves, have appealed to the law in vain for justice. It would be difficult to imagine a more humiliating spectacle, and one that should make every true South Carolinian blush; than that of the Governor of the State appealing to the ladies, at one of the recent cam paign meetings, to testify to the fact of his being a gentleman and that he did not use improper language. There are probably some people in the State who would be glad to abol ish the Courts and the Legislatnre, burn np {he Constitution and con vert the State into a monarchy, with Tillman as Czar or Sultan. Either of these titles would be more fitting than that of king or emj eror, for one who is by nature a dictator and tyrant. As there has been no attempt to prove the charges made against our merchants, in the Register, and which we defied the editor to prove, there is but one alternative for us and that is to pronounce it an infamous falsehood, published for political ef fect, and known to be such by the correspondent when he wrote it, and by the editor when he published it. The reliable gentleman, to whom the Register refers, has, just as we pre dicted, proven to be an unblushing slaneredr. If we understand Mr. Childs’ po sition correctly, and we would under no circumstances misrepresent him, he proposes that the men who are elected to the Legislature, even if they oppose prohibition, must vote for it, if a majority of the voters, at the Primary, declare in favor of it; at the same time stating that he will vote for it, even if the people are op posed to the measure. In other words he proposes for everybody else to obey the will of the people, but refuses to be bound by it himself. The Columbia Register, in a re cent editorial, asserted that the farm ing lands in the State are assessed at their full value, and in making such a statement was either inexcus ably ignorant or intentionally false. There is a good deal of farming land in Darlington County that is worth from twenty to fifty dollars per acre, and will bring this price at any time. The editor of the Register is utterly shameless in his false hoods or he certainly would confine himself to those that have ht least a degree of plausibility. We have received from Mr. L. D. Childs, of Columbia, copies of two articles, which have recently appear ed in The State, aud regret that we have not the space to publish them, but to do so would crowd out other matter that we deem of essential im portance to publish. For some weeks past we have devoted a good deal of space to the Prohibition question, more than almost any other weekly in the State, and while there has been some complaint, at this, on the part of some of our renders, we do not re gret having done so, as we wanted the question fully discussed. Can dor compels us, however, to say that our courtesy has not been apprecia ted, as the space given to the Pro hibitionists Las brought us in just one subscriber. We are very far from making any complaint about this, but it seems that however wil ling the Prohibitionists are to have their side of the case published, their zeal is not sufficient to induce them to support the newspaper that furnishes them the facilities for the dissemina tion of their views. As a matter of curiosity we would like to know how many people there are who read Mr. Gresham’s Prohibition articles, who are not subscribers for The Herald- ards that would use pnre alcohol as • beverage, it must be borne is mind lhat with pure alcohol as a base it is comparatively easy to manufacture an intoxicant that wonld take the place of whiskey and brandy. To show how utterly impracticable it would be to enforce Prohibition, we mean for the whole country, it is only necessary to state that there are now several thousand deputy collect ors, and their assistants, who are en gaged, in the task of discovering and destroying illicit distilleries in the mountains. Their failure, iu a large measure, to accomplish this is too well known to meet with any denial. Now in order to make the least pretence of enforcing Prohibition, there would have to be an army, sev eral hundred thousand of these d< p- uties, aud the mean of oppression, and the constant menace, that would be ever present, to the peace and safety of the people, is too obvious to require argument to prove it It is easy to imagine what a tremenious source of power there would be in this immence army of government employees, and how they could be used to perpetuate the power of an unscrupulous Chief Executive, and of the party that happened to be in power. Those are the questions that the advocates of Prohibition must ex plain away, aud until they do so, must rest under the charge of advo cating a measure that is in the high est degree impracticable, and that will very seriously retard the very reform they are anxious to bring about. If the effort they are now making in behalf of Prohibition were exerted in the direction indicated by the Editor, in a former article, the result of their work would be effect ive and durable. required by law. At my request Mr. Neileon has endeavored to procure for fhe duplicated receipted bills and he has done so, except as to $147.53 of the amount as follows: Knlpp A Bro’s hilt, Griffith A Co’s bill, Matthews A Kirkland's bill, Bhirley A Son's bill, Davidson A Co’s bill, $882.76 153.40 380.00 270.87 37.30 In this civilized age andd genera tion, men are expected to settle their political differences with reason and argument Is there a “Conservative” organ in our State that will dare dis cuss the issues with The Register, and confine itsef to legitimate mat ters? We are willing for any fair- minded and intelligent gentleman, even on the opposing side, to act as umpire, and say when we transcend the legitimate sphere of a journalist Abuse and epithets will defeat any came that depend upon such wea pons. We defy any paper to discuss the political issues of this State with us. We have right jus tice and argument on onr side, and not one will accept onr gauntlet They answer reason with abuse.— Columbia Register. In reply to the above we say most emphatically that there is not a Con servative paper in the State that is not ready, at any time, to discuss the issues with the Register, except for the fact that it would not pub lish the statements of its opponent, and this being the case, there could be no discussion. A paper that makes charges and then refuses, when they are proved to be false, to retract them, is too far lost to every seuti ment of decency and fairness in journalism to entitle it to any respect or mercy. If abuse and epithets will defeats cause, then the Tillmam tick et is doomed, that is if the Register has any influence in the issue now before the people. This challenge is merely made for effect, and to make the impression that the Con servative papers are afraid to meet it. Anything more utterly absurd could not be conceived of, for Mr. Gantt knows full well that he has been dodging ever since his connection with the Register, and the downright falsehoods he has uttered would fill a good sized volume. The Hekald has never been able to get a Tillman paper to discuss the issues, and all for the simple rearon that they are afraid, verifying the old addage that conscience makes cowards of us all. We have no intention of entering into a controversy with Mr Gresham in regard to the vexed question of Prohibition, because we have al ready presented onr views, and until they are refuted we must adhere to them; and then too Mr. Gresham is entirely conscientious in his opinions and we respect him for holding to them. The great trouble with the advocates of this measure is that they go too far, aud attempt to prove too much. Mr. Gresham asserts that any kind of sickness can be treated successful ly, treated without resorting to the use of alcohol, and cites, in proof of this, the statement that it has been done in temperance hospitals in Lon don and Chicago. If the physicians in these hospitals used any drugs at all, they were compelled to use alco hol for the simple reason that its use, in extracting and preserving the medicinal virtues of nearly all liquid preparations, is well nigh universal, and this being the case, its use, in this form, is practically unavoidable. If, for the sake of argument, we grant that it is only eonfirmed drunk. EH ADDRESSES HIS FELLOW CITI ZENS OF SOUTH CAROLINA. He Produces Duplicates of Vouch ers Filed and Expresses His Opinion of Governor Tillman. Panola, S. C., Aug. 10, 1892. To the People op South Caro lina: In his speech at Marion, as reported in theColumbia Daily Regis ter of July 2, 1892, Governor Till man undertakes to criticise my dis bursement of the legislative appro priations during my te^m of office as Governor for “repairs and improve ments to, and furniture for the Gov ernor’s Mansion,” etc., and points out certain items of expenditure made by me for which he says there are no vouchers, thereby insinuating that 1 have made an improper use of public money committed to mj charge. To those who know me—and I trust there are few to whom I am a stran ger—I need not say that Governor Tillman’s insinuation is false. (1.) 1887, February 11, J. P. Richardson, no voucher, $1,000.00 (2.) 1887, March 2, J. C. Neil- son, per Ixmis R. Chazal, no voucher, (3.) 1887, March 2, Louis R. Chazal, no voucher, (4.) 1888, Ocb ber 31, J.P. Rich ardson, no voucher, $1,724.32 The remaining $147.53 was expend ed by him for other small articles and for the incidental expenses of packing and transportation, as will appear by bis affidavit which he has sent me and which is as follows: “In the months of Jannary, Feb ruary and March, of the year 1887,1 expended in the purchase of furniture for the reidence of Governor in Co lumbia, South Carolina, and for such incidental expenses as packing and transportation as belonged thereto, the sain of one thousand eight hun dred and seventy-one 85-100 dollars ($1,871.85); I also supplied to Gov ernor J. P. Richardson an inventory of said furniture and receipted bills aggrigating the above sum of $1,871.- 85.” “J. Crawford Neilson.” State of Maryland, City of Baltimore. On this 5th day of August and 1892, before the subscriber, a Notary Public of the State of Maryland, in and for Baltimore city, personally appeared J. Crawford Neilson, and made oath in due form of law that the above statement is true and cor rect. Witness my hand and official seal. Thos. Kell Bradford. [Seal.] Notary Public. I have also obtained from “The Carolina National Bank of Colum bia,” the three drafts which I pur chased from the bank and by which the $1,871.85 was remitted to Mr. Neilson and those from whom he purchased the furniture. These drafts were dawn by “The Carolina National Bank of Columbia” on “The National Bank of the Repub lic,” of New York, and, having been paid by the latter bank were in due course of business returned to the former bank. They are as follows: (1.1 Draft Feb. 11, 1887, to or der J. P. Richardson, endor sed by J. P. Richardson to order of J. Crawford Neilson and endorsed in bank by J. 601.10 370.75 198.40 All State vouchers are required by law to be filed in the office of the Comptroller General, and theso vouch ers were filed there; and some weeks ago when I vent to the Comptroller General’s office to get these vouchers, I was amazed to find them missing. How, when, or by whom they were mislaid or abstracted I do not know. I do know that Comptroller General Ellerbe did inform me that he had nothing, whatever, to do with this matter, and ‘hat the investigation of these vouchers had been made solely by Governor Tillman’s private secre tary, and wholly without his super vision. The amounts above stated were all expended according to law in furnish ing the Governor’s mansion and Gov ernor Tillman knew this, or ought to have known it when he made his mendaciou insinuatio against me, for all the articles purchased with this money were then in the executive mansion and in daily use by Govern or Tillman and his family. A full and complete inventory was then and is now on file in the Secretary of State’s office, and for which I have a receipt. I have been at much pains to supply the misring vouchers and have delayed answering Governor Tillman’s slander until I could pro cure them. I now proceed to vouch the above items as follows: (1.) 1887, Fell. 11, J. P. Rich ardson, no noucher, $1,000.00 (2.) 1887, March 2, J. C. Neil son, per Louis R. Chazal, no voucher, 501.10 (3.) 1887, March 2, Louis R. Chazal, no voucher, 370.75 $1,871.86 Theae amounts, aggregating $1,- 871.85, were expended for nje by Mr. J. C. Neilson of Baltimore, then archi tect in charge of the State House work, in the purchase of furniture aud upholstery for the Executive Mansion, all of which was in the mansion when Governor Tillman took possession ol it. At the time of the purchase Mr. Neilson sent me the receipted bil s for the entire amount Crawford Neilson, (2.j Draft March 2,1887, to or- $1,000.00 er of J. C. Neilson, endor sed by J. C. Neilson, .) Draft March 2, 1887, to or- • der J. C. Knlpp A Bro., and endorsed by /. C. " ‘ Bro., . Knlpp A 501.00 370.75 and the same were duly filed in the office of the Comptroller General m of that year, the committee on public $1871.85 The only remaining item pointed out by Governor Tillman as being without vouchers is the above stated item. (4.) 1888, October 31, J. P. Rich ardson, no voucher, $198.40. This amount was drawn by me aud expended by me personally in the city of Columbia in the purchase at different places of sundry articles foi the Executive Mansion. All the bills making up this amount were receipted and were filed as vonchers in the Comptroller General’s office, and should be there now. The arti cleg purchased were left in the Exec utive Mans'on and are now, I pre sume,! n the use of Governor Tillman and his family. My private secretary, Mr. W. E. Gonzales, has furnished me with his affidavit to the effect that his attention was particularly called tq these vonchers by his predecessor, Mr. L. R. Chazal, and that he filed them with the Comptroller General State of South Carolina, County of Richland. Personally comes W. E. Gonzalce, who being duly sworn, says that he succeeded L. S. Chazal as private secretary to Governor John P. Richardson. That among papers turned over to this deponent by the said L. R. Chazal, pertaining to the Governoi’s office, were vouchers for $198.40. moneys expended by Gov ernor Richardson for the Executive Mansion. That the said L. R. Cha zal called this deponent’s attention especially to these vouchers, stating to him that they were the paid bills for a warrant that Governor Richardson had drawn to settle up all claims against the executive Mansion fund— that all other vouchers pertaining to the appropriation for the furnishing of the Executive Mansion had l-een filed with the Comptroller General by him—and he, the said L. R. Cha zal, asked this deponent to fils these vouchers for the said $198.40 with the Comptroller General. That this deponent did file the said vouchers in the Comptroller General’s office. W. E. Gonzales. Sworn to before me this 2d day of August 1892. J. Q. Marshal, [l. s.] Notary Public. All the papers and documents re- fered to above have been placed by me in the office of the clerk of the court for Richland county for public inspection. There is one other fact to which I would briefly call attention—the con dition of the executive Mansion when I was inaugurated Gevernor—and the circumstances under which the various appropriations for its repair, furnishiug, lighting, ect, were made. It had been rendered almost unin habitable by the damages consequent upon the earthquake of 1886, m much so that I had decided not to occupy it, as its condition would likely render it precarious to health, without any solicitation or suggestion on my part, however, at the aeasion buildings, whose chairman was Dr. George R. Dean of Spartanburg,made an examination of the Mansion and reported its condition to the House, witn the recommendation that a suf ficient- appropriation be made for its thorough refitting, repair, furnish ing, lighting, &c., which was prompt ly adopted by the Legislature—aud contrary to my wish the whole sum and its expenditure was placed under the sole controle of the Governor, to whose order it was made payable. The duty imposed by legislative act I had to discharge to the best og my ability. As I remember, without the record being before me, the first ap propriation was $2,700.00, the second $1,500.00, the third $750.00, and the fourth a similar amount, I think— thus distributing the whole amount for these varied and costly purposes through the four years of my Ad ministration. The result was that instead of finding a much delapidat- ed house, i Imost bare of everything, Governor Tillman could, on the day of his inauguration, have dined at the Mansion in all the comfort affoi d- ed by a completely furnished estab lishment, in excellent order, by sim ply taking his servants and provisions with him. Governor Tillman’s attack on me is characteristic of the man and of his disreputable methods. It is utterly inexcusable. It is not the r.*sult of an honest mistake into which he has fallen. He is a man in public life, familiar with the course of official busiuess, and presumably, to say the least acquainted with those laws of the State regulating the conduct of the Executive Department of the State government. He knows that by section 578 of the General Statutes the Comptroller is required to “examine and annuity report to the General Assembly on the accounts of all persons having tfie distribution of public money.” He knew with little effort lie might have asscertain- ed, that the four items to which he has called attention were examined and reported to the General Assem bly, the first three by Comptroller General Stoney and the last one by Comptroller General Verner. See Comptroller’s report for 1887 at page 107 and 1888 at page 10 and 95. In Gen. Stoney’s report for 1887 the statement is distinctly made that the warrant for $1,000 was for the pur chase of furniture—a fast deliber ately suppressed by Governor Till man, conduct that lawyers would characterize as suppressio viro or suggestio falsi. He knew or he ought to have known that these gentlemen would not and could not have reported these items of expenditure to the General Assembly unless the proper vouches therefor had been filed in their office. Governor Tillman knew, or ought to hare known, all this, and yet, regardless of decencey aud consulting only his own selfish ends, ke has deliberately falsified the truth and added one more to the long list of base slanders which he has perpe trated against the honest and honor able people of the State. It is no excuse for Governor Tillman to say or claim that it was not his duty to investigate any further than the offi cial record, for any fair and just, and truthful man, before insinuating such grave charges against the hum blest citizen would surely have adopted the simple method pursued by me in ascertaining the facts aud truth as here presented to you; but no—he is persistently following the plan of campaign which his evil and malicious genius fi.st devised and practiced of making charges and al legations regardless of truth or inno cence—and throwing the onus pro- bandi upon the guiltless victim. “God Almighty’s gentleman” does little credit to the character so bra zenly and impiously assumed. But the fate of the slanderer is certain and sure though the mill of the god’s grind slowly—and the day is not far distant, I believe and trust, when the high, chinlric and patri otic people of gallant old South Carolina will thrust from them for ever these horrid and disgusting spec tacles of moral ghoulism, and tri umphantly save the grand eld Dem ocratic party from the utter ruin threatened it by Pharisaical friends and false leaders. With ereat respect your fellow- citizen, J. P. Richardson. The Healthiest Spot oi Earth— Floe Mineral Water—The best Place to spead the Spring and Sumer Months. Southern Pines, Moore Co., N. C., is situated on a high sand mountain, and there are several causes which go to make it the healthiest spot on earth, and the very best place to stop at dur ing the spring aud summer mouths. Its elevation al>ove Ihe surrounding section for more than one hundred miles causes a delightful breeze at all times during the summer. Itslocation amid a vast forest of long leaf pines gives it an atmosphere which physicians of na tional reputation say is the most health ful to be found iu the United States. The soil being a pure white sand gives perfect drainage,and therefore no form of malaria can exist. The Mineral Springs near by, issuing from a singular medical store house built bynatureand curiously situated in this sand moun tain seems as though the Creator in tended this spot as a place where man kind might rest aud regain health. This place was first noted as a winter health resort, and thousands of persons from the Northen States have come to it during the past few years; ami with out a single exception they have been benefitted. During the "past two summers it has been shown by actual test that those suffering from weakness of mind or body can find greater relief at this place than any other known resort. Dr. Wile, an eminent phy sician of Connecticut and editor of the “New England Medical Monthly,” has been investigating for the benefit of Northern phyicians, and he says South ern Pines isthe best known place for those who need rest and sleep. He says the first inclination one lias is to sleep, and that this rest, without the use of drugs, enables the natural forces of the body to impart strength to the diseased parts. Those suffering from indigestion, rheumatism and all blood disorders, nervousness caused by over work or any other cause, find relief and health without taking medicine.
