IN MEM0RIAM

OfC. Y. Pool Garter Pool) who de-
parted this life at the residence of his
father, j. P. Pool, on Saturday night,
Dec. 29th, 1883, in the 43rd year of his
age.
The writer of this havs known the
deceased for twenty-five years and
feels that he cannot suffer this sad event
to pass without word in praise of his
noble traits, and Of sympathy to his
stricken parents and friends.
He was among the very first young
men to volunteer his services in our
late war. Wewere members OF the same
company, Butler Guards of Green
vile for the first year of the war-until
the Reorganization, after which, he
was appointed to position on Col.
McCollough's staff OF the 18th S. c..
Regt., in which command he remained
until the close of the war. He was in
that terrific battle at Franklin, Tenn,
near the lamerted Gist when fell, and
by concussion from same she'll was
paralized, and lay in state of uncon-
cieusness on the battle field for hours.
He was faithful soldier, a warm, gen
ial, generous hearted companion; affa-
Bile and courteous in manner; an afec.
tionate, devoted son and brother.
May God in His goodness, mercy and
love, comfort and sustain mis- aged
parents and loving kindred in this
their sore bereavement, and receive his
soul into rest eternal.

MAPS OF NEWBERRY.

The News ard Courier has re
ceived two large and well executed
maps, one showing the location Of
| Newberry village and the other
the location Of the county of New.
! berry. The village map was COM
piled by Mr.. G. NJ. Girardeau in
1881. It gives the names of the
members of.the town council at that
time, and furnishes a complete and
accurate typographical survey of
the town. The town is divided in
to wards and the ownership of each
OF the lots in all the streets is in
dicated by numbers, the names of
the owners being given in mar
ginal notes.
The map of the county was made
by Mr.. Thomas NJ. Lake, not from
actual survey, but by distances,
from information received by the
compiler. The map gives the
names and course of all the streams
in the county, the location of the
public highways and the post-ofices,
bridges, mills and ferries. 1t is
well printed from a photographic
plate made by A. Hoen & Co., of
Baltimore, and is altogether val
liable contribution to the history
and geography Of the county. 1t
would be well fevery county In the
State could have such a map.

DUTY VS.. DUTIES.

Mr.. Morrison, of Illinois, chail
man of the ways and means CON
mittee, says that "the business Q
the Democratic party is to look al
ter the welfare of the people of tn
United States y and, on that poin
there can be but one opinion. Act
ing on the line of this duty, he say.
an effort will be made at this ses
sion of Congress to accomplish
something satisfactory in the way
OF relieving the people from unjust
tariff exactions.
He informs the public that his
committee will propose a reduction
Of the import duty on sugar-but
he thinks that the duty on silk
should stand. This is all very
well but to lower the duty on
sugar, without making the reform
more general, and extending it to
other needed commodities, would
be very much like sugaring bitter
pill for the public palate. Import
duties should be laid upon silks,
precious stones, and such other ar
ticles as fall under the head of lux
uries-the duties should be dimin-
ished on iron, steel, wooIlen goods,
machinery and such other imported
articles as are used and consumed
by the people at large in plying
their trades or providing the com.
forts Of life. In this respect, it is
the duty of the Democratic party to
provide for the welfare of the peo.
pie.
The tariff question presents new
dlheulNes as it and the country |
grow older. The interests of the
country are so diversified, owing
to variety of soil and climate, that
no tariff laws that can be devised |
will apply uniformly throughout the
whole country, or give general sat-
For instance, while Mr..
Morrison thinks that the welfare of
the country demands a reduction of
The duty on sugar, the sugar pro-
1ucers of Louisiana are opposed to
any reduction, and the threat is
made that Louisiana will vote the
Republican ticket if the proposed
measure becomes law.
We have never thought it wise to !
make the tariff question the leading
ssue in the next presidential can
Tass; but if the Democratic party +
ouches the question at all, it should {
axe hold ofit in manly, straight
onward manner-and not approach .
t as small boy would approach a
:ornets nest. Indeeision and vac 8
Hation, have become too character |
site of Democratic tariff fflegislation.

Mr.. Editor:-Having lived two year:
in your community, ana now, as q

pass on to another, [ desire, before
leaving, to do three things.
Fsrst-To put myself and family on
record as bearing testimony to the
kindness, courtesy and Christian SYM
pathy OF the citizens Of Newberry.
Not that they are in need OF such tes-
timony to be sure, but to us it is CRATE
full to make it.
Second-I desire also to assure your
people OF our sincere interest in their
welfare. May the blessings OF Heaven
rest upon your town in its material
prosperity, its spiritual interests, its
young men and maidens, its old people
and children.
Thtrd-I wish to say further, that
this interest willbe abiding. For, even
II it were possible thing for us to
forget the kindness which has been
shown us on all occasions, and the ten
der sympathy on special ones, still
there are other ties Ineed not mention,
OF nature more tender and sacred
than these, and which must, no matter
where we wander, ever bind us to the
soil OF Newberry. r. D. SMART.
