LET THEM SPEAK.

The columns Of the HERALD are
open to any candidate who wishes
to make known his views on ques-
tions of public interest. 1t seems
to rs, however, that it would be
better and more satisfactory for
the candidates to express their
views and discuss public questions
at the public meetings which will be
held throughout the County. In
that way they would enable the Vo-
tiers to understand their position
and would cnlighten many voters
who do not read the newspapers.
Besides, if We were candidates, we
would not make haste to rush into
public print with our views, unless
there were greater need of such a
course than there seems to be at
present. 1t would be good plan
for, the Executive Committee to
appoint meetings, to be held during
the primary canvass, at which these
discussions shall take place.

12O VS.. /.

Last Saturday one Of Col. Cow
ards petitions for Federal aid to
the common schools was forwarded
from this place to Congressman
Aiken, signed by one hundred and
twenty citizens of Newberry, en-
bracing'such men as the president
of our National Bank, who was the
first signer.
That petition represents the in
telligence and wealth, as well as
the very best social clement, of our
community. The lady who had it
in hand informs US that only one
man to whom she applied refused
to sign it, and that when she mailed
it there was not room on it for an
additional name, though there
were others who wish! to sign it.
One hundred and twenty against
one is 4 pretty fair showing. New
berry is still right on the education
al question.

4 BITTER PILL.

A great many prominent Repub-
licans cannot swallow the Chicago
nomination without making wry
faces, while others pronounce it an
unclcan thing and refuse to touch
il. The New York Times, the
great Republican daily, says, There
will be nothing ambiguous in the
defeat OF Mr.. Blaine. lie WHO
runs may clearly read the verdict
in advance: "A candidate unwor-
thy Of confidence and a party too
careless of its own honor to be
longer trusted with the nations.
One word rs to the position Of the
Times. 1t will not support Mr..
Blaine for the Presidency. 1t will
advise no man to vote for him."
The Boston Alcertiser, promi-
nant Republican paper, says, ''With
unabated devotion to the greao
purposes for which the Republican
party was organized and has been
maintained, we declare our inability
to support the nomination, either
in the present aspect of the politi-
cal field or any which now seems
likely to present ITSELF Other
Republican papers speak in the
same vein.
The Boston Reform Club, IN in
fluential body, calls upon the indie
pendent voters Of the country to
oppose the Republican nominees,
and says that it regards the nomi-
nation Of Blaine and Logan as IN
insult to the conscience Of the
Country;' and Henry Ward Beecher
says that ':under no circumstances
would he support that man from
Maine
There seems to be no doubt
among the most respectable men
of his own party that Blaine's
moral character has been smirched
and that he is characterized by q
high degree Of personal unworthi-
ness.

THE NORMAL INSTITUTE.

Every teacher who can possibly
spare the time and money should
attend the Institute in Spartan
burg. Board may be obtained in
private families at four dollars q
week for the session. 1t will be q
little higher at the hotels. The
railroads generally give reduced
rates to teachers. The Institute
will begin the 18th Of July and con-
tinue four weeks. A Secretary
will be appointed, who will make
all arrangements as to the securing
Of board. The following are some Of
the reasons why teachers should
attend.
1st. Teachers who are not per-
feet can learn something.
I'd. They will be the better pre-
pared to work after old plans Or to
make new ones.
Sd. The teachers work tends to
isolate him from his fellows and
the community. One session at the
Institute will draw him out and
bring him into sympathy and har-
mony with others engaged in the
same work.
/. They will have more exalted
opinions Of their profession and
work.
5th. Spartanburg is delightful
place to spend q month or two in
inthe summer. Good water, mineral
springs, fine drives, pleasant nights
and a bracing air make the place
attractive.
9th. An excursion to the noun
tains will be made during the ses-
sion. This is revelation Of Won
derful scenery, especially to per-
sons who have never been in the
mountains. Special rates are given
to those who wish to run upon the
Ashville road en-. Saturdays and
return Mondays.
7th. In few words, it may be
said that the teachers meeting in
Spartanburg this year, will be
furnished with ample means for i'm
provement, recreation and social
enjoyment. The daily lectures by
the regular faculty, the special lee
lures by distinguished educators,
and the teachers meetings will
furnish an amount of valuable IN,
formation that will compensate one
for the time and money spent in
coming to Spartanburg. Let there
be a grand rallying of the teachers
of the State. 1t will do them good.

OUR CONVENTION.

The Convention next Saturday
should elect delegates to the State,
Congressional and Judicial Con-
yentions, there being no reason
why the election Of any Of these
delegates should be postponed.
The Convention should express
its approval of Mr.. George John
stone as a candidate for Congress
from this Congressional District.
Mr.. Johnstone deserves this COM
pliment at the hands Of his native
county, as much for his past servi-
ces as for his eminent qualifica-
tions. Els career in the State Leg
islature during four successive
terms, and especially his valuable
services to the State as chairman
ofthe Ways and Means Committee,
furnish the very best proof Of his
capacity and ability. AS a deba-
ter he is ready, forcible and ag-
gressiye; as q legislator, alert, sa-
gacious and practical. We do
not moan TO reflect unfaYorably
upon Coils. Aiken, Murray and Bow
en-, but we should like to see Mr..
,Johnstone nominated because we
feel that he would ably and faith
fully represent his District.
The Convention should adopt a
numerical basis Of representation.
What we mean is that some num-
Der, say ten, should be adopted as
basis, and each club in the Coun
ty should be entitled to one dele
gate in the County Convention, for
every ten members on its roll, re-
gardless Of township lines. This
would avoid trouble with line clubs.
If the Convention is called upon
to express its preference as to the
time at which the State ticket
should be nominated, it should fa-
vor June nominations, and thus
endcavor to escape the expense
and trouble Of two sets Of club
meetings and conventions.

There can be no doubt about

First.-Because l buy in large

paid to middlemen.
Second.-I give my customers
the benefit Of this percentage.
Third.-I purchase no garments
but those which are made Of Supe-
rior material, by expert designers
and skillful workmeD.

rests on the firm foundation of

\ BOSS DRUMMER
WHO CAN NEITHER READ NOR WRITE

Yesterday several gentlemen
were standing at the corner of
Marietta and Peachtree streets,
when they were suddenly approach
ed by q brisk moving stranger who
carried in his hand 4 bundle Of one
cent postal wrappers. Without a
bit Of hesitation the man with the
wrappers said, addressing the crowd
his manner sharp and quick:
"Gentlemen, I want some one to
address these wrappers for me. l
will pay for it,"
That's my whack,' said a hand:
some young fellow as he stepped
quickly to the side Of the man
with the wrappers.
Quick as flash the two men started
off down street together, walking
rapidly in the direction Of the
Markham house.
The eyes Of the crowd followed
the two men as they passed down
the street.
DO you know who that man is:'
asked one of the gentlemen who
stood on the corner.
There was a general answer Of mo,
and the speaker cont!nued:
That man is 4 Philadelphia shoe
drummer. I have met him on the
road and he is one Of tie best sales
men that ever saw. lie can Meth
er read nor write, buthe gets $l,SOO

"Who is the'man who took him
up so readily?7 asked one Of the
crowd.
That is an Atlanta dry goods
clerk who a few days ago lost his
situation and is ready to turn an
honest penny by working for this
man.
"What is the history Of the fel-
low with the wrappers, and how
does he manage to get along?"
lie was once a common boX-liit-
er in q Philadelphia shoe house,
and worked day and night, so that
he had no time to study. One Of
the drummers died, and as last
resort to fill the vacancy this man
was sent out on the road. lie de-
veiopcd into one of the very best

For the HERALD

MEsSEs. EDIToRs: Having studied
somewhat lately about politics, and
having talked with other voters, we
have came to this conclusion: that
Lawyers, Preachers, Merchants, Doc.
tors and Editors are five sets Of men
that ought to let politics alone. FIRST,
q Lawyers business is to practice
and carry out the law after it is
made.
A Preachers business is to preach
the gospel and try to save the souls
Of the people, he has the highest
Office Of any man on earth, if God
called him to preach he has to lower
himself a great deal to get down to
politics. The Presidents office is
nothing compared to q man that
God selects and sets apart for his
ministers, no higher calling man
can possibly have, than to be God
called preacher. The Merchant is
interested in feeding the people
and ought to be content with his
lot, and stay at his store and at
tend t. the wants Of the hungry
and needy at all times.
The Doctor must stay at home
and attend to his patients as some
of them will die, for people get
sick during the sessions of the Leg
islaturc as we'll as other times, and
some get mighty sick when they
see the laws that our Legislature
makes, especially tile poor tax pay
ers.
The Editors ought to stay at
home and keep the people posted
with the news, and feed the brain
Of their subscribers with good polit
ical food.
Now I believe the man that
drives the plow, and handles the
hoe and axe. and pays all the taxes
nearly, is the man TO make on!
laws, and if we don't change oul
minds some of us, we cant vote un
less We have enough farmers on the
ticket to make q full ticket out Of
Do give the farmers q chance one
time ye good people of Newberry
and let them try their hand and see
if your taxes arc not lessened.
