NAMED A CANDIDATE.
Fred w. Bott Will Run Against j.
G.. ElmQuiSt.

The Democratic county convention
failed to nominate legislative candi-
dates from the Second district of the
Twenty-siXth senatorial district, and
from the First and Second districts of
the Seventh-seventh senatorial district.
TO the county committee was delegated
the duty of pla cling candidates in
the field from these districts,
and the committee in Its initial effort in
that direction has made strong NOM
nation. At the meeting Saturday
night Fred W. BOtt, of the engraving
firm of Berlandi & Bot, was nominated
from the old Fifth ward, now known
as the Second district of the Twenty
seventh senatorial district. In Oppo-
sition to j. G. ElmQuiSt, the Republican
nominee. The former is German and
represents the labor element of the
party. and the Republican friends of
ElmquSt, who fancied that their nOmi-
nee would secure his seat by default.
will realize that the Democracy have
placed in the field 4 man who is capa-
bic of making an unuSuSally strong
canvass, and will be able to control
both the German and the labor voters at
the coming election.
A delegation from the ward also
waited upon the committee and pre-
scented the names of l.. A. NOrmandin
and Eugene HendrickSOn for favorable
consideration. No action was, however,
taken in the premises. At the next
committee meeting, however, it is prob
able that candidates from the two re-
manning districts will be named and
the county ticket thereby completed.

CONVICT LABOR SYSTEMS.
Results of the Investigations of
Trades Assemblies.

Trades Assemblies.
As a result of the deliberations be-
tween the Minneapolis and st. Paul
Trades and Labor assemblies, in regard
to the convict labor question, the COM
mittee appointed at the joint conference
have submitted report in which they
set forth that last July, upon making
visit to Saltwater, they learned that ar
rangementS had heen made for tempo
rary employment until the next session
of the legislature, but no steps
had been taken TO provide permanent
employment. AT subsequent meeting
with state officials i'll the governors
office, after knOtty points of law pend
ing upon their subject had been cleared
up by the attorney general. those inter-
ested unanimously decided that
prisoners should be employed at pro-
ductive labor, which will come into COM
petition with free labor but slightly,
and at the same time secure the reform
alton of criminals. There are
now in operation in this coun-
try the lease, contract, piece-price,
public account with power machinery,
and public account with hand labor SyS
TENS. The lease system being the most
vicious, while the contract system is the
most prevalent. From a financial
standpoint this system is conceded to be
next to the lease plan, both in its prOiita
bleneSs to the state and unsatisfactory
reformatory results. The pieee-priee
plan being identification of the con-.
tract system but shifts the evil. The
public account system is claimed to be
ideal in its results, and from a financial
standpoint this system with power
machinery is highly remuneratIve to
the state.
pThe public account system under
hand labor, is, however, deemed the
best from every point of view. BY this
method every prisoner may have an OPP
pOrtunity of learning trade. or OF
working at one. Competition with free
labor is reduced to a minimum, and

FOR SOLICITOR.

The candidates for Solicitor in the
various circuits are beginning to loom
up in abundance. In our circuit, since
it is known that Solicitor Duncan is out
of the race, there are quite number.
Mr.. David Johnson, Jr., of Union, Mr..
Hugh Farley, of Spartanburg, Col. r.
C. Watts, of Lauren>, and Col. O. L.
Schumpert, OF Newberry, are mentioned.
We have little doubt that all these gen.
tlemen named are competent and world
fill the Office with credit. The HERALD
AND News thinks it is about time for
Newberry to have recognition.
Col. Schumperti is the equal fauy law
yer in the circuit. An able lawyer,
an eloquent advocate, polished gentle
man, be would be worthy successo. of
Mai. Duncan. II has always been an
indeiatigable worker and an uncompro-
missing democrat, and in him we have
a candidate for the important and re-
sponsible position whom we can COM
mend as the peer Of anylawyer in the state
and one who would fill the position with
honor to himself and credit to the State.

The National Democratic Convention
will be held in St. Louis on the 9TH OF
June. This will necess:tate State Con-
Yention some time during May in order
to elect delegates to this Convention,
and will most likely necessitate the hold
ing OF two State Conventions, as May is
rather early to nominate a State ticket,
whether it is intended 70 renominate the
present officials or not. The national
Democratic committee, it would seem,
favor the opening of the campaign rath-
er early.
The most lively and interesting part
of the election with us Will be i'll our
county primaries.
We do not think it wise to make the
nomination OF State ticket too early iii
the year. 1t will give more or less dis
satisfaction.

Reading Railroad and Coal Company,
returned to Washington tonight. Mr.:
Tillman states that the committee Will
be ready to submit is report TO the

time for the stenographer to write out
his notes. He says the recommendations
of the committee will be along the mar
row line of constitutional law, and there
may not be any immediate relief. He
will deliver speech on the subject, in
which he proposes to tell Congress and
the people many things that may not
appear in the report Of tile committee:
He will probably susSe>t hat instead

owners NAV be able to make a profit,
but is is wrong, and an injury to those
who work, we had almost said it was in
human to require them to work under
such system. A large portion Of them,
too, are children, who grow up under
this system 70 be physical and mental
wrecks.
Is it not possible to run mill profit
bly, by working ten hours a day? and
thus allow those who labor in cotton
mills little time for the cultivation of
tn ,se qualities and traits which make
life worth the living: This matter is
worth while the serious consideration of
those who have the control OF our cotton
factories.
In our opinion, it would nave been
wisdom on the part OF the Legislature to
have passed that bill. introduced several
years ago, intending to limit the age at
which children should be permitted to
work in cotton factories.

THE COTTON SEED INTERESTS.
Protest from the South Againsts the Pro-
posed Lard Tax.

The following petition, signed by
large number Of citizens OF Louisana,
and presented in the Senate by Senator
Gibson, is a Specimen OF many that are
pouring in daily against the Dawers bill
to tax lard in which cotton seed oil is
used:
TO the Congress of the United States !:
We respectfully protest against the pas
sage of the S~nate bill (No 65O intro
duced bv Senator Dawes, of Massactl-
usetts, to suppress cotton seed oil in its
use as a substitute for hog lard.
Such bill i> class legislation of the
most vicious k nd, and its effect will be
to discriminate unjustly in favor of the
producers OF hog lard against the pro-
ducerS of cotton seed oil and aim dead
" blow at one OF the largest and most
valuable industries Of the South.
That this bill can have no other end in
view is plain. The public need no pro-
lection against cotton seel oil, As it is a
perfectly pure vegetable oil.in the man
ufacture of which nothing is used that
can possibly affect ito quality or whole
somencsS, so that under no circumStan-
ces can it be injurious to those who use
It.
The same cannot be said OF lard and
lard oil, as the purity and wholesome
ness of these products are dependent
upon the health and condition Of the
hog, and the portion of the body from
which the Lard is extracted. So it is
perfectly apparent that the public at
large have no interest in this bill.
The extensive use OF cotton seed oil by
the olive oil manufacturers of Europe
vouches for it. purity and excellent quail
ity. Immense quantities OF cotton seed
oil are yearly shipped TO Italy and
France, there used bv the manufacturer
and returned to this country as olive oil,
of such excellent quality as to afford
general satisfaction.
The manufacture Of cotton seed oil
has assumed large proportions i'll the
South. Millions of dollars are invested,
and thousands OF persons employed who
will be seriously affected by any unjust
discrimination.
Tine closing Of many mills must inevi-
| tably follow the passage OF such law,
and the cotton planters who can now
obtain ready market and good prices
for their cotton seed, the sugar plauter:
who are furnished with a rich and re.
markably effective and cheap fertilizer
the laborer, particularly the colored
labor employed upon the platations ant
directly in the harding of cotton seed
and the manufacture Of oil and Other
cotton seed products. will all be serious
lyand directly injured by the passage
of this bill, which can be productive o.
no good except to rival industry, while
the harm it will do and may do il incal
culable.
We especially urge that no law O
this character should ever be passed
unless TO remedy some crying abuse
and then only to apply a remedy which
experience has demonstrated to be safe
and proper and the results OF which Cal
be clearly foreseen.

We learn from the Columbia Register
that the Three C's railroad will soon be
open for travelling from Lancaster to
Camden, and thence to Charleston. We
have learned very little of this end OF
this great railroad lately. We would be
very glad indeed if some one who knows
would give US some information bout
this matter.
We are sorry Col. Mitchell did not go
ahead and build his narrow gauge from
here to Augusta, instead of turning US
over, and making our road part of this
big corporation. We believe he could
have had trains running between New
berry and Augusta by this time. Wesaw
one Of his narrow-gauge trains when in
Augusta recently, and it is right good
looking affair. 1t would be great deal
better to have such railroad than to
have none at all.
We heard months ago that the Three
C's Company had deposited money in
bank in Augusta to pay the debt OF the
old company. and that work would be
commenced soon. and that is the last we
have heard Of our end Of this great rail
road.
Will some body tell US how matters are
progressing on our end OF the Three C's
railroad.

A Disgrace to Civilization.

NEW YORK, February 25.-An Amer
lean gentleman travelling in Cuba writes
from Havana under date OF February
l6 as follows:
The protest by the local board OF
charity to the mayor of Havana dwells
on the fact that between May last and
January, 1885, 1000 persons have died
OF smallpox in the city OF Havana. and
further that during the same time 1000
persons in other parts of the island have
died, Santiago de Cuba contributing
over 1000 deaths. The protest goes on
to state that the authorities are doing
nothing. Regla and Guanabacoa in the

The World---The Miilenuln.
Christian NeighJr.

The Newberry Herald and Ners,
thinks the world is growing better, but
that the Millennium may be long way
off. 1t says:
I'VE 90 not agree with that opinion
which says the world is growing worse.
Crimes innamerable, no doubt, there
are, and of every description. The
press is filled with their recital. The
trouble is that there is IN appetite, for
just such news, and the press is trying
TO supply the demand. The crime Is
published and many good deeds 60 un-
noticed. The facilities for distributing
newe are greater than ever before in
the history CT the world. We must
believe the world is growing better.
The millennium may be a long way off,
however,
The increased facilities for distributing e
news does not prove that the world is
growing either better or worse. The
faculties are simply an instrnmentallty
or power which in itself is neither good
nor bad, but produces or increases good
or evil-helps or harms the world
according as it is controlled by wisdom
or folly.
What the Herald and Ncrs says in
support of its opinion appears TO Us as
going to prove the contrary.
l. Crimes innumerable and OF every
description abound.
2. The press is filled with their re-
cital.
3. An appetite for just such news
prevails.
+. The press is trying to supply the
demand of that appetite.
Would respectfully ask: Does not
the supply increase the demand? Are
not by far the majority OF the presses
engaged in catering to that morbid ap-
petite ; if not so, are they not neutral,
doing as much TO make the world worse
as they do to make it better!
Further: Why do ''many good deeds
90 unnoticed"? is it not that there is
less demand for that sort of reading and
less pecuniary profit in such publishing,
and consequently fewer presses employ
ed to meet the demand:
It seems to us that if the argumenta-
tion OF the Herald and Ners show that
the world is getting better then in truth
it may be said not only t: at 1.-THE millen-
mum may BE- long way of" but that it
will get farther and farther off.

: We are more and more convinced

of our cotton mills are entirely too long.
Take the Newberrg Cotton Mill. The

opposed to arraying capital, against la
Dor or labor against capital, and we DO

advice to give those who have claims
against the general government for

Mr.. Tillman may be right. We are

Tell the man who is offered one cent

legged to have been destroyed in the war,
tot accept the offer Of the fool who
makes it, instanter. It is more than he
will get from the government. Tell the
man who has claims for property seized
after the war, and who is offered By a
speculator 25 per cent, to close at once
with the bargain. He will never have so
good a chance again. But the direct
tax will be paid, because four-tfths of it

south will never be paid, because all the
money must 60 to the SOUTH"
