Vanderbilt Purchases Real Estate at Ash
Vile.

AsHEvILLE, y. C.-For about two
months Mr.. Charlie McNamee, Of New
York, has been devoting his time, i'll
connection with local counsel, III the
investigation of titles to certain real
estate properties which from time to
time during his stay he has purchased.
About 1000 acres were bought: After
securing several hundred acres, near
the confluence of the French Broad
with the SWannanOa River and south
Of this latter stream, this gentleman
bought number Of tracts, many OF
them small, which were contiguous to
his first purchase. These last acqulsl-
tons had not all been made before it
was known that the buyer represented
William II. Vanderbilt, of New York.
The land heretofore worth so per acre,
which happened to be adjacent, shot up
in price to 800 per acre. Terms We're
soon agreed upon, however, and the
deeds made, the grantors in these
latter cases getting decidedly higher
figures than their more simple neigh
bors who made the earlier transfers.
Among the number thus fortunate was
a poor widow and her three children,
not vet out of their teens. But also
among those who have sold adjacent
real estate to Mr.. Vanderbilt have been
some of the best citizens OF he section,
who owned some choice lands there.
One of the grantees was Capt. Press
Patton, of Henderson County, who
sold ninety acres aG$50 per ac','
4 residence for the summer will be
built here by Mr.. Vanderbilt, and the
structure, it is said, Will be one III style
and finish in Keeping with the owner's
wealth. The grounds are to receive the
especial attention of landscape garde-
ners from abroad, and the place will
likely be one Of the CHIEF attractions OF
this citv'S suburbs.

THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET
HON. SAMPSON POPE.

Anumbcr OF gentlemen have been
mentioned by a number Of cur ex-
changes for the Office Of Governor and
other State offices in the approaching
contest. The Herald and News takes
this opportunity Of bringing forward a
prominent son of \ewberr;' for posi-
ton on the State ticket. We present
the name of Hon. Sampson Pope as q
competent and suitable person for the
position Of Lieutenant Governor of
South Carolina. He was one of those
few gentlemen who in Newberry
sounded the first notes of the great
straightout movement in 1876 that
brought to South Carolina home rule
and white supremacy.
He has for four years served the peo-
pie of Newberry County faithfully in
the Legislature, having in the last pri-
mary election received more than 1900
votes without making canvas Of the
county.
Newberry is modest in her demands,
- but she would like to see the State
convention honor oneof her worthy
sons by nominating Hon. S. Pope for
Lieutenant Governor. He would pre-
side over the deliberations Of the Senate
with dignity and ability.

That will be the iSSue. Then We will

We heard a gentleman say the other
day that fone wanted to see anything
ne had to 60 away from Newberry.
Spartanburg could have her Encamp-
nent, Greenville her Gala Week, An
derson her Fireman's Tournament, but
you never hear of anything for New
berry. Well, whose fault is it, People
will attend these things and spend
money in the towns that have them,
and then they advertise the towns. Let
the\citizens Of Newberry stir up and
determine to have an exposition, and
they can do it, and have big time, too.
Or they can have any thing else they
want if you can get them to concen-
trate their efforts and work together.

Col. Bob Ingersoll and Fred Douglass
were two prominent figures at the Re
publican convention at Chicago.
Douglass was called on for a speech and
waved the bloody shirt for all 1t was
worth. Ingersoll occupied prominent
seat all the time. Four years ago he
made the speech nominating Blaine.
This year he was for Gresham, and that
didn't take very well, but he was the
hero all the SAME.
The Atlanta Constitution says that
Emmett Womack said the Chicago
convention appeared Is if it We're being
furnished with facts by Fred Douglass
and religion by Bob Ingersoll.
"Indeed, Douglass and Ingersoll were
two of the shining lights OF the conren-
ton; and if the Republican party fol
lows Ingersol! as closely as it does
Douglass, it will have no need for
preachers at its next convention, or
rather it will have more need for them
than ever, but they would be out OF
place.
The convention this time was opened
with prayer every morning, and the
preacher occupied seat next to 1nger,
soil.

What is the matter with the New
berry Rifles? Can't they get up mus
ter of 25 men and go to the military en-
campment at Greenviile, the last of the
month? We would like very much to
see Newberry represented. Her boys
would make as fine an appearance as
any, and we are sure they would have a
good time.
With three weeks to practice in they
ought to be able to drill tirst-rate. 1t
would be good idea for our merchants
to close their stores at six or half-past
six o'clock in the afternoon, and then
the boys would have some time to drill
and get ready for the encampment.
The nights are too short to do much
practice at night. Give the boys fair
chance and if they io not go then
why let them disband their company.

TATE'S ENLIGHTENMENT.
The Grand jury Fails TO Find Forgery on
the Books.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, June IS. - The
grand jury OF Franklin circuit court
returned four indictments against
James w. Tate, late state treasurer, for
embeZzlement. The total amount set
out in the indictments is S4O4, ,OS3.S3,
dating from january !, 1878, to January
l, 1886, leaving the period between 1856
and the time OF Tate flight unprovided
for. The commemorative attorney
says no true bill could be found against
Tate for forgery in the erasure of
amounts in his bank paSs.boOk; that the
bank book was his private property and
only memorandum book, and that
while the erlsllre was made to perpe-
trate fraud on the investigating Oil
GERS, still it cannot now be called
forgery. The cmbcZzltnent is not an
eXtraditable crime, and Is it is now
known that the family OF Tate are i'll
communication with him, it tissupposed
they will soon entertain no fears OF
making his whereabouts known. The
court fixed bail ut Sl0,0O0. The statutes
provide imprisonment in the pehiten-
tiary from one to ten years for elHbeZZlc-
ment, but it is hardly possible the fugi-
tive will ever return to the state to be
brought 10 trial. Civil suits by the
commonwealth against the sureties Oh
bonds arc again before the court Oh an
amended petition, but no trial can be
reached until the next October term.

known in Missouri the prohi5itionists

"Rum ruins the reas0ning.'
"Note rs YOU pray"
"F'or God, home and native l:ind.'
The legend, 1--WE can't vote, but we
can suffer- was carried by women III Il
parade and occupied Il prominent place
in each ward precinct. Many Of the
best people of the town were Interested
in the contest, and it was no infrequent
sight to see young girls with Il horse and
phacton covered with streamers bring
ingin gentlemen to votefor local option.
In the first ward, where there was 4
large colorcd population, it was expect
ed there would be Il large wet majority,
but both sides worked hard, and the

here the fight centered and where the
women stood all day, even though the
weather was unpleasant. The Mormon
church, which has over a hundred
voters, voted unanimously in favor of
prohibition. The temperance people had
