We'll, after all, it is quite re-

Democrat as he stood on Main Street
corner last evening and heard one of
the last hurrahs for Harrison die away

been much consolation in the reaeo-

there was to be obtained from it..

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. MATINEE,
Five Thousand People View the
Performance.

The wager or agreement made be-
tween Dan Rench and Ben. Whittemo1e
has heretofore been detailed in these
columns. At this time, therefore, it
need merely be said that at few min
utes before y o'clock a handsomely
decorated road-cart was pushed up
Main Street to point near the DeSeret
NelUS corner, and it was followed by
hundreds of people who were anxious
to see the start m de. At about the
noon hour, Whittemore hove in sight,
dressed as the traditionary Uncle Sam
and sporting Harrison hat. A few
seconds later there was loud call for
Rench, and that Individual appeared.
The agreement was that he should pull
Whittemore from the DISCREET NraCs cor
ner to the Cliff House, but at the last
moment Rench demurred, with the re-
mark: mo good Democrat pulls a
Republican; he pushes him!" Several
demonstrated, but Rench was obdurate,
and as it made no particular difference
Whittemore consented to be pushed
and the start was made, Pederson's
band on one sidewalk and Kent's on
the other. At intervals of two or three
rods the procession would pause, and
as one of the bands played a patri-
otto air the contribution boxes for
the benefit of the Orphans Home and
Day Nursery were passed around and
RECEIVED LIBERAL DONATIONS.
Ga upper Main Street the throng was
a great one, but by the time the cir
Gus" had reached MoCornick's Bank,
the crowd had been augmented to SUCH
an extent as to impede travel. Drays,
wagons, buggies, street cars and pedes-
TRANS were so badly mixed and mingled
that the only wonder was there were
not several serious accidents. The
mob increased each minute, and
when the Cliff House was
reached the Jam was simply
terrific. The distance traYe.sed was
less than half a mile, and yet three
quarters of an hour was occupied in
making the trip. 1t was a good-ns-
tured crowd, however, and when
Whittemore called for three cheers for
Harrison it responded with the same
vim as it doubtless would had Rench
been on deck and called for the Same
honors for Cleveland. There was an
occasional "Hurrah for Cleveland"
er an occasional groan. 1t was not

As the crowd surged into the Opera
House it was met with blaze of light
and color, the music of the bands filled
the air and as fast as the people could
be seated their feet started out to join
the happy patter in keeping time with
the musicians. The rush for seats was

to fill the house and thousands were

Counting the Vote in the State.

Especial to the News and Courier.l
COLUMBIA, November 2O.-The State
board Of canvassers labored several
hours to-day, and this afternoon com
pleted the canvass of the vote for
Presidential electors and declared the
result. There was very little difference
in the vote cast ior the several Demo-
cratic electors, but Col, John II. Sloan,
j., of Collmbia, elector at large, re-
ceived the highest number, 65,S25. The
Republican elector making the best run
received 1870 votes. The total vote
for President must the:ef re be put
down as 1866, or ABOUT one-third of
the number which might possibly have
been cast.
The Democratic majority is 52,aS5,
against S.112 in 1854, when Cleveland
received 9,si5 voies and Blaine q, .33.
It appears that the Democratic vote has
decreased 1920 votes, and the Republi-
can 1893. Tle loss on the total vote of
1884 is 12,0l3.
The board to-day canvassed the re-
..7us for State officials in every county
except Beaufort, the letu"ns from
which had not arrived. These may
come tomorrow. The Congressional
vote will be canvassed tomorrow, when
the protest from the I'd and Hh districts
may be heard.

time. It would be better to have these
laborers work upon the public roads
and turnpike and macadamize them
than to have the institution return the
revenue it now does into the State
treasury. There is nothing we need
more in this country than good roads.
AS the News suggests, let the work
start where you please, but not conhne
it to one section, but let US have at least
one or two of the most important roads,
in each county, put in good condition,
and when once worked and macada-
mized, as they should be, nothing
further will be needed done to them for
long time, and let the work go on
until all the main roods are so worked.
There are now about 900 convicts in the
penitentiary, and we do not believe the
number is decreasing. Good roads will
be great saving to the people.
Efforts will be made in this Legisla-
ture to amend the road laws. The law
seems to be defective. The Newberry
Board of Trade will give to the MEM
bers from this county petition asking
that law similar to the Andersen law
be passed and made applicable to this
county. Something seems to be needed.
We hope to see the convicts put at
work on the public roads.

The People are After the Sugar Trost with
Big, Sharp S;icA.

New YORK. Nov. 1S.-The Moguls
of the sugar trust have good reason to
fear that an outraged public may force
them to break up their combination,
which has already in the first year Of
it's existence taxed the people of the
United States over $50, 100000 more for
refined sugar than they had to pay be-
fore the crystaliZati, n of this gigantic
food monopoly. Whatever the result of
the present test suit, instituted by the at
torney-general, against the North River
Sugar Refining Company, may be, g
second suit will be immediately pressed
against eleven millionaire members Of
the sugar trust individually, charging
them with violation of the law in hav-
ing assumed the powers and functions
of legalized corporation.
Gen. Roger 4. Pryor VII conduct
this fight also, and it is understood that
he feels entirely confident Of success
fully breaking up the gigantic combine.
Now comes the bad news for the
sugar monopolists that those gentle
men who gave them so much trouble
last summer, the Senate investigating
committee, are coming back to renew
their pryiDg attacks. The State Sen
ate special committee are to visit this
city again on December 5, aud will re-
new their inquiries into the trust evil,
the sugar trust among the others.

ANOTHER DEAL.
The Three C's wants to Consolidate with
the C.. y. & L. Railroad.
1Register, 18th.

the directors of the Columbia, New
berry and Laurens Railroad held
called meeting at the Commercial
Bank at 10 a. III. yesterday.
The chief object Of the meeting was
to consider a proposition Of the Three
C's Railroad to consolidate the two
roads.
As we'll as could be learned, Colonel
r. 4. johnson, the manager of the
Three C's, appeared before the dlrec-
tors and proposed to assume all the
liabilities Of the Columbia, Newberry
and Laurens road, to issue stock share
for share and agree to build the lhreee
Cs from Blacks to NeWberry anu
from Columbia to Newberry III one
wear after the consolidation.
Ifthis proposition had been accepted.
Columbia would be or the direct line or
the Three C's at least one year before
Augusta would be connected by rail-
with it. and, the advocates of the con-
solidation claim thereby, from busl-
ness standpoint, have decisive adVan-
tage over that city.
The directors yesterday decided to
refer the matter to its financial commit
tee of three, which for the last two
years have managed the Columbia,
Newberry and Laurens. and VINO
are supposed to he adverse to the con-
sOlidatiOn.

up, and impatient creditors sought legal
steps to make their work stand good

The railroad is not at all affected, and
friends of the enterprise consider 1T IN

No Wholesale Dismissals Probable.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l5.-ln various
Republican newspapers it has been re-.
,peatedly asserted that as one result OF
the recent election the heads OF several
of the executive departments OF the
government were getting ready to turn
out Republican clerks by wholesale
during the next four months. Special
mention has been made ofthe Post
office Department as one in which the
official axe was to be used to the fullest
extent. These assertions are OF course
untrue as to all the departments, and
they are particularly without warrant
as concerns the Postotfice Department.
Not only will the clerks and employees
of that department not be removed be-
cause of their political opinions, but it
is understood that before the close OF
the present administration the entire
railway mail service, will be placed
with the classified elvice, and thus
come under the protection Of the civil
service rules and regulations.

THE MURDER OF THE pREssLEYs.

1SDecial to the ReriStcr.7

EDGEFIELD, November lin the
Court of Sessions, last Thursday, the
case of the State against r. ]. Jones,
for murder, was taken up, and the evil
dence was concluded Friday night at
II O'Clock. All of to-day has been con-
sumcd in argument, which was not
finished until o'clock toni. t. The
evidence did not vary from liz given
at the last two trials, except that the
effort Cf the State to Introduce evidence
going to show who have the right to
the occupancy Of the land which was
the immediate callSe of the homicide,
was futile. The JUICE ruled that tho
introduction of the evidence would
necessitatr an inquiry and invrstiga-
ton into tie question of titr, which
was not adniis|i |ihle on the rrinni.i;;i side
of the court. This evidence WIS. there

The exclusion Of this evidence by the
Court so p'esrd the prisoner that he

WHY NOT CONSOLIDATE ?
TReeister, Nov. 1871

An article in the Record Of yesterday
saws this "road is rapidly progressing
under the present management" we
are pleased to learn that the directors
are so sanguine, but some Of us cannot
see any evidence of such rapid progress.
Indeed, the chances of the road being
speedily built depend upon whether or
not the stock holders will avail them.
selves of the present opportunity OF
consolidation.
1t was hoped when the charter was
procured three years ago that Laurens
would become an important factor.
But Laurens does not want 1t now. IL
was supposed that Spartanburg would
come ia, but the $40, 900 Glenn Springs
subscription has been withdrawn.
And the road is to get to Newberry on
the township subscriptions of Colum-
bla, Lexington onand Newberry, amount
ing to Sll5,000, and about $4,000 prl-
vate subscriptions, as far as outsiders
can find out.
To build road of forty-two miles at
$4,000 a mile, the usual estimate at
this time, will take S504, ,O0O.
Now, how a short line without con-
nections at either end, and in sharp
competition with the huge Octopus
the Richmond Terminal-can raise
above S300,000 to rapidly complete it,
we can't see. And on this point the
public would like to be enlightened by
the directors.
The article goes on to say the man
agement purpose giving Columbia
township value received for the S4o,0Oo
subscription.
The only way this can be effected is
by building the road. If they are as
long in completing it as they have been
in the work thus far done, it will take
at least two years, and by that time
Newberry will have railroad connee-
ton with Augusta, and Columbia will
lose most of the Newberry trade which
now comes to it.
The article also states that the bonds
are still uHsold. Buff the bonds are
not sold 6tsSpothecated, how did the
directors build bridge and grade
twenty miles ofroad, on forty thousand
dollars of private stock which probably
has not been fully paidin.
Columbia wishes further light upon
the subject. Vague statements Will not
do. PROGRESS.
