FREE WIIISkEI AND ATHEISM.
Features ofthe Republican Campaign whicl,
Eepcl Church Voters.

The free whiSkcy plank in the Re
publican platform, coupled with the
energetic manner in which the party is
pushing Col. Ingersoll to the fore in
the campaign, has given great offence
to many Republicans. \ new York
Times reporter had Il talk with the
Rev. y. +. Schaufller, ID. d., a WELL
known Presbyterian clergyman and the
superintendent of the New York CITY
Mission.
81 have always been Republican,
said DIR. Schaut1lcr, "but on account of
the free whiskey plank in the Republi-
can platform, the position that party
has taken III regard to the surplus, its
tendency to indulge in excessive pen
Sioning, and the manner in which it
has put lngersoll forward in this CAM
palgn, which Is very offensive Inc,
and, in fact, to very large portion Of
the cvangclists in this country, | shall
not vote the Republican ticket this
fall. There are probably 2,0O0,0O0
evangelical voters in the United States.
Col. 1ngersoll has lost no opportunity
to revile them, make fun of the Bible.
and otherwise to so dispOrt himself as
to ma Ike many Republicans utterly dis
gusted. lfthe party persists in keep
ing him on the stump during the cam
paign, it will have the effect of driving
away many Republican votes.
~ am not prepared to say whether
shall vote the Democratic or the Pro-
hihition ticket, but | certainly shall not
vote the Republican. | think President
Cleveland is better than his party, and
that his course has been good during
the past three years. He may, perhaps,
have made more removals than were
strictly necessary, but the enormous
pressure brought to bear upon him by
his party in this matter must not be
lost sight of. | am thoroughly in SYM
pathy with him in his position on the
surplus, and also with his views on
pensions. We arc already the most
grateful country in the world-grate-
ful 70 the extent of millions of
dollars annually. The purpose Of the
Republican party to pension every
Tom, Dick and Harry is prcposterous
and cannot hc regarded otherwise than
us u species Of bribery. ! am believer
in tariff Reform, in fact, III progressive
free trade.
lam not prepared to say tl:at the
Mills bill is the best tariff reform meas
urc that could have been devised, but
am confident that some such measure
is absolutely needed. ] am inclined to
think that the Republican votes which
the free whisEey plank will divert will
fall largely to the PruhihitionistS. The
PTohibil;oniSts are the under dog in this
fight and there is 4 disposition among
many people to help the under dog. I
don't think this will affect the Demo-
Gratis at all, for am confident that
Cleveland and Thurman will win this
election with ease

A TRADE ISSUE.

The proprietors of The Herald and
News have had in mind for some time
the issuing of trade and illustrated
edition. The arrangements for the
same have about been completed. 1t is
proposed to write up Newberry and let
the outside world know what we are
doing here. An edition of 5000 copies
of about 40 pages is our purpose now.
The services Of Mr. G. NJ. Girardeau
have been secured ,and he will visit the
business men of the town and assist the
proprietors in getting together the data
necessary for such an edition. A num-
Der of illustrations will be used and a
short history Of the town, and sketch
of its business and professional men
and public institutions. Any assis-
tance in this work that can be given
Mr.. Girardeau or the editor and pro-
prietors will be gladly received and
duly appreciated. 1t is hoped that the
efforts of The Herald and News in this
direction will meet the approval and
sympathy of the business men of our
town. It is our purpose to get this
issue out by the first Of September.

THE COUNTY CAMPAIGN.

The county campaign under the
direction Of the executive committee
will open on next Tuesday at Wadling.
ton, in No. 2 Township. 1t is expected
that the candidates will attend all these
meetings, and the candidates for legis-
lative honors will be expected to adj
dress the voters and let the people know
how they stand on the public issues of
the day. 1t is hoped the campaign will
be conducted in manner that will be
free from personalities and bad feeling.
There is no reason why there should be
any unpleasantness. All the candidates
for legislative positions are about of one
mind on the issues before the public,
and after all it will be but a preference
of men. and the voters Of Newberry
County may be depended on to do their
duty, and the defeated candidates will
bow in quiet and good humored sub
mission TO the will of the majority. Let
Us have a pleasant and good natured
campaign. 1t can do nobody any good
to have AL sorts ofreports in circulation
about the candidates. Let them present
their claims to the voters in fair and
impartial manner and stand or fall,
as 3 majority shall determine, on their
respective merits.

AN AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
Let the Candidates Say How they Propose
to Establish it-An Important Mat
ter for the Taxpayers.

TO the Editor of The Herald and
News:-It is very easy matter for the
candidates to say that they are in favor
of the State accepting the Clemson Be-
quest, but it will not be so easy for them
to say how the College shall be sup
ported after it is established.
If they are asked, are you in favor OF
giving this College the S5, 700 now given
to the Annex" (Which is one-half OF
the interest arising from the Land Scrip
fund.-, and the Sl5, 900, the Hatch fund,
also now going to the "AnncN,' some
of them might not agree 70 it, yet these
are funds properly belonging to an Ag,
ricultural College, and together with
the surplus remaining from the tag tax.
after paying the legitimate expenses OF
the Agricultural Bureau, would sup,
I>ort the College. TO do this would
h-eak up the annex"
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Lou
isiana, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee,
North Carolina, Virginia and West
Virginia all have Universities, yet in
all of these States separate Agricultural
and Mechanical Colleges have been es-
tablished, supported in part by the in
tercst on the Land Scrip and using the
Hatch fund for experimental purposes.
South Carolina should do likewise.
There is no reason why she should be
different from her sister States.
The tag tax, amounting this year.
believe, to S34, 600, is paid by the farm
ers, and any surplus over and above the
legitimate expenses of the Agricultural
Department should go to the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College; SIS, 900
at least of this can go to the College,
this, with the $500, (one-half of the
interest on the Land Scrip, and the
Hatch fund, will run the College with
out taxing the people one dollar, but
if it should become necessary the peo-
pie Of the State should be taxed in adj
dition to support it.
We cannot have too many educa-
tional institutions, our young men and
women should be educated. The peo-
pie of South Carolina should remember
that there were 946 students last year
in Claflin University.
The negro is educating at the ex-
pense, in a great measure, of the white
people.
Anglo Saxon supremacy must be
maintained, and to DO it we must edu-
cate our children.

We publish this week an article from
the Chickasaw Miss Messenger in re-
gard to the Mississippi Agricultural
College which We invite our friends to
read. This editor seems to think that
the agricultural college in that State
has been failure. Our people, how
ever, seem determined to make the eX-
pertinent for themselves on the subject
of al agricultural college and We sup
pose that will be the best way for them
to make the test. If it is undertaken
We hope the enterprise will succeed,
but our common schools are greatly
in need of funds and we still think that
We need better and more efficient COM
mon schools worse than any more COL
leges. But the fact is that the Ques-
ton of an agricultural college is the
main issue before the people this year,
and we have heard of no candidates
who oppose such an institution. We
print this article so that our readers
can have little chance to hear the
other side.

HOW TO Do It.

zone ST the Voters writes an inter
esting article to The Herald and News
in this issue, on the agricultural col
lege. It is al important question 10
the tax payers how this college is to be
established, without, if possible, III
creasing the burdens Of taxation. 1t is
all easy matter to favor an agricultural
college and the acceptance of the
Clemson bcqucst, but the more i'm
port:tnt question is whether such IN
| institution can be established without
increasing taxation, and without det-
riment to existing institutions, and how
much, if any, will it be necessary to in
crease taxation in order to establish it.
There is great demand for low taxes.
1t is not enough to say that such al in
stitution can he established with so
little increase in taxation that nobody
will feel it. Let the voters and tax
PAYERS know how it is to be established.
B. Il direct appropriation and increase
of the levy III order to meet this ap-
preparation, or by the use Of funds
already available. The campaign opens
next week. Let the candidates he pre-
pared to discuss these questions fully.
