4 Visit to Newberry'
1Special to the Register.

LAURESs, April l2.-Iour represen-
tative was in Newberry on yesterday.
1t is quite city-ike in its diminsionS,
appearance and population. 1t claims
to have about 1000 inhabitants.
In consequence Of heavy rain that
had fallen the day previous, consider
able number of farmers were in town,
and the merchants were quite busy.
The Newberry cotton mill, Of which
Hon. r. l.. Mclaughlin is president, is
one Of the largest and most prosperous
mills in the state. 1t employs about
five hundred hands. There have been
some shipments ofthe products Of this
mill to China.
Hon. r. L. Mclaughlin is also the
president of the Newberry National
Bank, which he has ably and success
fully managed.
Newberry has a sash and blind fac
tory, enterprises that add considerably
to the prosperity of the place 1t has a
building and loan association, of which
DR.. James Mcintosh is president. 1t
is the seat of that most excellent in
stitution, the Lutheran College. Its
opera house, built by the citizens of
Newberry at a cost of 100000, is con-
vincing evidence of their iiberality and
public spirit.

600 more out of the Treasury. There is
not an argument for the repayment of
the direct tax which does not hold
equally for the repayment of the cotton
tax. The same kind of Interstate log
rolling makes that strong, which is used
by the protectionists to push through
the repayment Of the direct fax.
The cotton tax was laid during the
war. 1t was collected on raw cotton
wherever found, and therefore in North
ern as we'll as Southern States. Twenty
eight States would get Sl5,O00,000 out
the Treasury under the direct tax bill;
twenty-five States would get s69,0OO,0O0
out Of the Treasury by the repayment of
the cotton tax. Eleven of these twenty
five are Northern States. The followidg
table shows what each would receive
from this grand raid on the Treasury:

An Interesting Suit for Damages for As
sauIt and Battery.

Especial to the News and Courier
GREENvILLE, April 1.-THE most
important case of the present and civil
term was tried to-day. Itwas the dam
age suit of Capt. W. R. White, formerly
proprietor of the Goodwin House of
this city, against W. D. Goodwin, ow-
ner of the building, the claim being
made for three thousand dollars dam
ages for assault committed on the 14th
February, 1887. The proprietor and
owner quarrelled about tie matter Of
rent and dispute arose, in which Mr..
Goodwin, struck Capt. White five
severe blows, telling him to the floor
and striking him again when he had
arisen. Mr.. Goodwin claimed that Capt.
White accused him of lying, which
furnished the provocation for the
blows. Capt. White denied having
made such charge. The case created
great deal of interest, the parties all
being well-known here. One of the
strongest arrays of legal talent seen here
in long time appeared in the case, the
plaintiff being represented by Wells &
Orr and Cothran & Ansel, and defen-
dant by Perry & Hayward, and Blyth
& Mccullough, Argument was made
by Col. Orr and Congressman Cothran
Oh one side and by Congressman Perry
and Capt. Blythe on the other. The
jury tonight rendered sealed verdict
after the Judge had left the Court room.
LATER-The jury gave the plaintiff
$500 damages.

The Ups and Downs OF a Notable Case.

COLUMBIA, S. c., April 10.-A some
what remarkable case was decided by
the jury in the court Of common pleas
here this afternoon. In 1874 Legrand
Benedict sued VIM. f. Rose for note
held by Benedict and alleged to have
been indorsed by Rose. The case was
first tried in 1876, and the plaintiff was
thrown out of court on some technical
ity. The supreme court granted new
trial, which came off in 1881 and the
plaintiff won. The supreme court
again reversed the decision below. In
1882 the third trial resulted in favor of
the defendant, but the supreme court
again reversed the finding. The fourth
trial to-day resulted in favor Of the de-
fendant, who claimed that the pre-
tended Endorsement was forgery. The
amount involved was over $4,000. The
case has excited much interest here and
elsewhere because of its long standing
and its ups and downs. The verdict
just rendered is thought to be the end
of it.

Conkling and AGnew.

NEW YORK, April 14.-Advices from
Mr.. Conkling's sick room up to 10
o'clock tonight are vaguely encouragg-
ing for the present and hopeful for the
morrow. The physicians, with the ex-
ception of one watcher, had left the
house for the night.
DR.. Agnew, one Of Mr.. Conkling's
physicians, continues in more critical
condition than his patient. Neither of
them have very good prospect for life.
LATER.-Dr. Barker said tonight:
"Mr. Conkling is quiet; he sleeps we'll
and takes a fair amount of nourish-
ment, principally milk. What little
change there is. is for the better. There
is no return of the nervous symptoms.
1t is not what he might eat, but what
he cares to eat, that is the trouble, and
these things are perplexing. He prefers
milk to anything else, and it is the
best"

A few weeks ago lady who keeps

when she saw that an advertising

just under her sign these words:
"Srnith's Bile Beans Cure Indigestion"
She tried to induce the painter to
obliterate the sign, which she felt sure

Woman and Night Travel.
GFrom the Boston Herald. I


We find the singular statement made
that very few women are now found
travelling in sleeping cars. 1t will be a
surprise, we imagine, to the ordinary
traveller. fthe statement had been that
few women enjoy that kind of travel it
would have been nearer the truth, and,
indeed, in more respects than one,
the comfort of the fairer sex is not so
we'll cared for on the sleeping car as
that of the other. A western railroad
man suggests that women be employed
as conductors on these cars. We doubt
if much would be gained in this way,
if it were practicable. What is most
needed is privacy, and the new system
of Mann boudoir cars comes nearer to
afcrding this than the Pullman. By
and by the railroads may provide a car
exclusively for women, and then wo
man conductor will be in order. We do
not see why it should not be reasonable
to afford such car on the longer routes
now.

REV. SAM JONES on POLITICS.
He Thinks Cleveland's Nomination Certain
The Tariff No National Issue.

P1TTsBURG, April 1O.-Rev. Sam
Jones passed through this morningen en-
route from his Northern lecture tour.
AS religion and politics seem closely
allied these days, for want ola better
topic the Leader reporter asked the
reverend gentleman what he thought
of Cleveland's chances for renomina-
ton. Excellent" hereplied. "There
is no one else thought OF, despite the
scheming of Bill Scott, Barnum and
Senator German. Cleveland will be
nominated because the people are for
him. The people are the power these
days. They won't stand any boss die
tation."
"Well, how about his election ?"
"He will be elected, too. No doubt
about that. In my travels through the
North I find an unanimous sentiment
for Cleveland. It seems to be growing
and spreading. The Republicans are
alarmed and are casting about for a
sheet-anchor for their hopes. They
must get a new issue. The red flag,
which has been their battle cry ever
since the war, will no longer serve their
purpose. The great majority of the south
ern people are loyal, and the majority
of the Republican party in the North
have accepted them. This practically
kills the bloody shirt issue. Cleveland
will win this year and at the end of
his second term the Republicans will
come again into power"
"What do you think of Ingalls,
speech?"
"1ngalls is an ass. That is all I have
to say of him."
"What about the tariffr'
"That is local, not national, issue.
1t only affects certain States.ul

The Negro Had Better Stay Where He Is.
New York Herald

New I Ork Herald.
1t is reported that large number
OF so-called agents are at work in the
Southern States. Their objecti is to per-
suade the colored people that they can
make their everlasting fortunes by en-
igrating to Brazil. The most remark
able yarns are told of big crops, big
wages and big money generally.
1t won't work, though. The negro
is not as simple as some, folks take
him to be. He has heard of the old
adage, "Out Of the frying pan into the
fire." and has altogether too much
sense to make himself aq illustration
of it. ,-....-.. :. srzsa-.------.--------
Ofcourse there is good deal of pow
erty among the blacks of the South.
Still, We venture to say that no three
or four millions of people in their pecu-
liar circumstances ever did so much in
twenty years to better their surround
ings. Nothing could be more depress-
ing than the condition in which they
found themselves atithe end of the war.
1t seemed impossible, even to us of the
North,r for them to get any grip on
American life and ambition for at least
couple of generations. But they have
made steady and, in many instances re-
markable progress. The money they
have saved, the thrift they have mani
festetd the celerity with which they
have fitted themselves to the new
circumstances, are clear proofs that
time will make all things straight.
The Brazil scheme is delusion and a
snare. 1t isa spider and fly arrange
ment, and the colored man can make
more cash and vastly more progress by
sticking to his home than by the most
promising exodus that ever appealed to
his imagination. He is all right where
he is; anywhere else he would all be
wrong. -

JUDAS ISCARIOT.
The Probable Origin of His Same-Some
Legends About Him.
From the New Orleans States.

L tllC -<S" O11CttllS
There is no doubt or ambiguity with
regard to the earliest part of Judas Is
CARROTS name Judas is merely the
Greek or Hellenistic form Of the He
brew Judah" familiar to everybody.
But "Iscariot' is as it has always been,
a puzzle. At least half dozen inter-
pretations of the word have been sug-
gested by philologists, but not one Of
them is in all respects satisfactory.
The most seeming of their number is
that the word is a condensed or cor
rupted form Of the two Hebrew words
"Ish Kerioth," meaning ''the man of
Kerioth," Kerioth being a village in
Southern Palestine, where, perhaps,
Judas or his family had their origin.
The name, however, is no consequence
for our present purposes and we have
remarked it only to show the mystery
attaching to the man in every phase
of his surroundings.
With regard to his birth, legend and
myth are as copious as is conjecture
with regard to his name. Here are
two of them, for which we are imme-
diately indebted to Moncure Conway {:
In the apocryphal Gospel of the
Infancy" it is related that a demonia-
cal boy, brought to the child Jesus,
strikes him, whereupon Jesus weeps,
and Satan comes out of the boy in the
shape of furious dog. This boy was
Judas.
According to another legend, Judas's
mother had dream before his birth
that her son would murder his father
and sell his God. To avert this the
child was sunk in the sea, but was
cast on shore. t:e was adopted by
king and queen, who had son, whom
Judas slew. He flew to Judea, became
the page of PLATE, and, after the pre-
destined murder of his father, learned
from his mother her dream. In terror
and contrition Judas hears prophet
who forgives sins; when he throws
himself at his feet Jesus, recognize
ing his predestined betrayer, ac-
cepts him as disciple, and intrusts
him with a purse SO that Judas ava
rice might be excited and the plan Of
salvation not fail. Judas thus became
heir apparent to the Internal throne,
and in mural pictures of Eastern
churches he appears seated on the knees
of a majestic Satan.

From the jewelers. Weekly.
Do you know that there are about
eighty thousand commercial travellers
in the United States? Surprised..to hear
it? Yes, most people are when they are
told of it, bit it's fact, nevertheless.
You may also be surprised to learn that
every one of them spends on an aver
age $1,000 year, or total of S240,0O0,-
600. Ifyou add to this their salaries,
averaging at least $1,000, you have a
total expenditure by commercial travel
ers of s2O,OOO,OOO year. This is natu-
rally spent in all parts Of the country;
but the hotels and railroads get the
lions share of it. During the last ten
years there has been great change in
the character of the commercial trave-
Ter. The old Bohemian type has almost
entirely disappeared from the road, and
drinking men are much more rarely
met with there than formerly.

Robert Mills Dead.

GALVESTON, TEX, April l4.-Robert
Mills, one Of the most remarkable OF
the Texas pioneers, died in this city
to-day, aged -.
Prior to the war of the rebellion, he
was, perhaps, the wealthiest planter IN
the South. His slaves and plantations
were valued at s., 100000.
He was known throughout the south
as "the duke of Brazoria.n President
Lincoln's proclamation emancipated
one thousand selected slaves belonging
to Mills, and resulted in his financial
ruin, from which he never entirely re-
covered.

The Ouinine Product.
Pittsburg Dispatch.

flltSDuIS DlspdlcH.
1T is a curious fact that while the
annual supply of quinine fol- the whole
world is about 100000 ounces, the
consumption of this drug in the United
States is more than 100000 ounces, or
nearly one-half the entire product. The
price of quinine has been so low for the
last three or four years that large plan
tations of the chinchona tree have been
uprooted in Ceylon, and the tea plant is
substituted. Ceylon produces very
large share of all the bark that is marke-
ted, and the exports from that island
declined more than one-third between
1885 and 1887.

SAPPING THE SURPLUS.
What 1t Is Said the Direct Tax Bill VN:ll
Accomplish.
Especial to the New York Herald.

Especial to the New York Herald
WASHINGTON, April !, 1SSs.-Halfa a
hundred Democrats, most of them, to
the honor of their section, Southern
men, still stand solid in the House to
prevent q raid on the Treasury for
eighty-four millions of dollars.
The House to-day took recess un-
til quarter to twelve Monday, when
the ff1ib STEERING will go as it has
since Wednesday afternoon. Mr.. Oates
and those acting with him do not mean
to give up unless they see that the pub
, lie cares nothing about this raid on the
treasury. But they mean to continue
their opposition until public opinion can
be informed and and aroused. The
contest will therefore 60 on next week
and it ought to.
Fiibustering has seldom had so COM
plete justification as in this case, and
when the peoples attention is fixed
upon what is going on in the House
the filibusters will receive, as they de-
serve, general thanks.
The direct tax repayment bill is
nothing more than the entering wedge
for measures which will so deplete the
Treasury that the protectionists may
have cause to cry out that no tax re-
duction can be safely made. The fif-
teen million direct tax bill is the pilot
fish for that great shark, the cotton tax
repayment bill, which calls for sixty
nine millions The two, the shark and
the pilot fish, will take eighty-four mil
lions out of the Treasury, and leave
it tolerably empty. That is the precise
purpose of those who are trying to
force these bills through.
Mr.. Randall and the Republican pro-
tectionists therefore combined to force
this treasury raid into the House.
When the day came the bill was
brought up, and the votes showed
that it has the solid support of the
whole Republican side of the House
and number of Democrats. The pro-
tectionists are all for it, and it is in fact
a Republican measure, as it has the
solid Republican support. The pre-
tence has been set up that it is South
ern treasury raid, but as matter of fact
most of the Southern men oppose it. 1t
is Republican and protectionist
scheme to prevent any reduction of tax
alton.
There is~no justice in the measure,
but the bribe it holds out to twenty
eight States gives it the strength which
log rolling river and harbor bills always
have. So many are to have ''share
of the porkn that the Republican pro-
tectionists have felt sure of success
when, with Mr.. Randalrs help, they
were able to force it into the House.
The direct tax was laid by Congress
in 1851 and was collected for only one
year, and only in that year. 1t was
requisition on the States, but where
these did not choose to act the
Federal authorities levied upon citizens
of the State The bill which Mr.. Ran
dali helped the Republicans to force in
the House proposes to return to the
States what they paid, or what was col
lected in them by the Federal power,
and to forgive the sums unpaid. The
following table shows the amounts in

TRAGIC END OF A ROMANCE.
The Suicide Of DeGrassie Bulkley's Bride
The Story Of Her Engagement to w.
L. Trenholm.
1Special to the News and Courier. !


WASHINGTON, April 13.-The last
act in the Bessie Hillyer-Bulkley ro-
nance was most terrible one. 1t was
enacted last night at the residence Of
Judge Curtis J. Hillyer, on Massachus-
etts avenue, near Dupont circle, and
the result was that the young lady in
the case died from the effects Of poison
taken, it is supposed, With suicidal in
tent the day previous. The family and
the physicians are extremely reticent
on the subject, the former being cast
down at the untimely death of their
beautiful and beloved daughter and the
latter declining to discuss the subject
on professional grounds.
The unfortunate Mrs. DeGrassie
Bulkley, nee Hillyer, was taken very
i'll on Wednesday morning, and the
physicians were hastily summoned. A
pump was used and every effort en-
ployed. At first there was some hope.
Later this hope was dispelled and her
mother was summoned yesterday after
noon. Mrs. Bulkleydied about 9 o'clock.
She was seen in public early this week.
and nothing unusual was noticed about
her appearance.
The doctors were in almost constant
attendance through Wednesday and
up to the hour of her death, DR.. W. w.
Johnston, the family physician, calling
in Drs. George w. Johnston and D. w.
Prentiss. All possible efforts were made
to save the life Of the young wife, but
she was beyond the aid of medical skill.
The family are especially sorrowful
on account of the peculiar circum-
stances surrounding the case. The
young husband, DeGrassie Bulkley,
was not with his bride of five months
during her sickness, and the news was
sudden blow to him.
The death of Mrs. Bulkley recalls the
other part of this sad story. Mrs. Bulk
ley was the only daughter Of Judge
Hillyer. She was about eighteen years
old, and her fathers wealth and hel
own beauty made her a belle much
sought after in society. She was en-
gagged to be married to Mr.. w. L.
Trenholm, son of the comptroller Of
the currency, last December, and so
ciety was looking forward to a brilliant
wedding. when it was suddenly an
nounced that Miss Hillyer had eloped
and married Mr.. DeGrassie Bulkley
the young son Of DIR. J. w. Bulkley
The marriage took place in Baltimore
December 20, the couple having gone tc
Baltimore and been united in marriage
and returned to this city the same
evening.
Upon their return they separated
the bride going to her fathers house.
The sudden marriage greatly shocked
the parents of Miss Hillyer, and they
began in the daughters name, proceed
ings to have the marriage annulled OF
the ground that the young lady was
coerced. In a few days, however, these
proceedings were withdrawn and thu
couple were reunited.
They were apparently very happy
then After living together, however
for ten days they separated again anc
it was announced that proceeding:
would be begun for absolute divorce
Since then Mrs. Bulkley has lived al
her fathers house. Mr.. DeGrassit
Bulkley was sick at his home to-day
and could not be seen.

Mr.. Oates, of Alabama, who is head
ing the tillibustering opposition of the
bill in the House, made strongminori-
ty report against it. The bill is simply
a huge offer of plunder to the States.
New York, for instance, would get
nearly two and a quarter million; Ohio
a million and third; Pennsylvania
over million and a half; Massachusetts
over 500, coo; Indiana, 1853, 900; Con-
necticut, S261 $50; California, 25+,53S,
and so on. So great and so adroit a
bribe has never before been offered by
men bent on Treasury spoliation in
order that they may defeat tax reduc-
ton.

who have been pushing the bill here
for wears and who will doubtless get a
large share of the plunder for their
efforts. But they never had a chance
of success until now the Republican
protectionists turn in to help them.
1t is very we'll understood that this
repayment of the direct tax is only the
beginning. It will be followed, if it
succeeds, Immediately by an attempt,
sure to be equally successful, to repay
the cotton tax. That will take S69, 600
