CLEVELAND AND :

The Herald and News presents to its
readers this morning full reports of the
National Democratic Convention at
st. Louis yesterday. We thought the
convention would have finished its
work yesterday aud we would have
been able to give the name of the second
man on the ticket. In this we fail.
The second man will be named to-day.
The reports indicate that it will be
Thurman.
The enthusiasm for Cleveland seems
to have been great and unanimous.
His nomination by acclamation IS but
in response to the call that has gone up
from the democracy Of the whole coun-
try for some time.
Cleveland and Thurman would make
q strong team. The objection to Thur
man is his age. Yet Mr.. Hendricks,
who was only five years younger than
Mr.. Thurman, did faithful and good
work four years ago. MI. thurman Is
not Yet - years old. 1t is true Mr..
Hendrickswas only IS when nominated.
Mr.. Cleveland is in his his 52d year.
It is doubtful too whether Mr.. Thur
man could carry Indiana. 1t is inlpor
tant to have q strong man on the
second place.
However, whoever fills the second
place, the ticket will win. This is no
time for discord within the ranks.
The Woman SuffragistS seem to desire
TO get u plank in the platform, but are
not likely 10 be admitted.
The adoption ola platform for all Of
the party to stand upon will likely give
more trouble than the naming Of the
Vice President.

NEWS IN BRIEF.

\ heavy shock of earthquake was
felt at Buenos Ayres at l2.l4 Tuesday
morning. It is not known whether
any damage was done.
On June +. at Rockdale, Texas, a few
minutes before o'clock the Mundlne
hotel. three-story blick building, was
found to be on fire, and, according to
those vino were first on the ground, 1t
was all on fire at once. Eleven persons
were burned alive.

A NEW PROBLEM.

The Abbeville Medium makes the
mathematical calculation that there are
six and one half boys to every professor
in the South Carolina College, under
the reorganization recently effected.
In view of this calculation the Green
vile News submits the following prob
lem:
eff six students and half of higher
education require one professor at a
high salary, how many pupils can the
average country teacher in the free pub
lie schools, paid dollar day, be eN-
pected to wrestle with SUCCESSFULLY"
We will not attempt to solve the
problem, but remark as general thing
they generally have from 80 to IS pu-
pills enrolled and only one teacher. 1t
was only the other day that we at
tended the closing exercises of one of
these country schools where the attend
ance bad been above sixty and only one
teacher. More and better common
schools, The Herald and News has
concluded for, for long time. That is
the great need of this country to-day.
If we are to have system of Tree conf
mon schools in this State and have
more money to spend on education it
had best be put on improving these
schools. These schools are the ones to
reach all the children, male and female.
That is the place where our educational
system is faulty.
We need good common school or
academy, with good teacher at the
head of it in every community. Moth
ing can help build up community in
every way like good school.

NO GOBHLE AFTER ALL.
The Georgia, Carolina and Northern Road
Pushing on for Atlanta.
[From the Charlotte, y. c., Chronicle
June3.

June 3.
The talk about the collapse of the
Georgia, Carolina and Northern road
is claimed by the Seaboard Air Line
officials to be all bosh. How it origi-
mated, or vino started it, is not known,
but the officials Of the company say
that of one thing they are certain, and
that is, that there is no truth in it
whatever.
Col. l.. G. Jones, superintendent of
the Carolina Central, was in the city
yesterday, but left in his special car IN
the afternoon for tour over the newly
completed portion Of the road. When
asked about the collapse Of the Georgia,
Carolina and Northern he laughed and
said that there was nothing in it, that
the Georgia, Carolina and Northern
WAS rs solid to-day rs ever, and was
pushing steadily on to Atlanta.
Gen. r. +. HOkc, who is SO promi-
ncntly connected with the building of
this road was quite indignant over the
report that had been circulated. "Ihere
is not one word ii truth in it" said the
colonel. He went on to say that he
had only Yesterday located the depot
for his s'road in Chester. The Georgia,
Carolina and Northern, he said, is as
sound asevvr, and perfectly able to take
care Of itself. 1t has al the money 1t
wants, and does not intend to stop
short of Atlanta. 1t will haul Chester's
cotton this fall. 1t is perfectly indie
pendent and cannot be bought up by
the Richmond and Danville or any
either road When Col. Jones and Col.
Hokc both say that there Is nothing in
the report, the people may be assisted
upon that score.

4 Colored Woman's Trouble in Georgia
Railroad Car.
1Aurusta Chronicle

ATLANTA, GA, June l.-Rhoda
Gaines, a colored woman and a niece of
Bishop Gaines, of the A. NJ. E. Church,
was forcibly elected from the East
bound Georgia train at Conyers this
morning. She lives in Atlanta, and
started this morning for Madison. She
got to the depot as the train was pull
ing out, and jumped on the rear car,
which was the ladies car.
She did not 50 through, but took a
seat in the ladies car. The conductor
and brakeman both protested, but to
no avail, as she would not move. At
Stone Mountain three men approached
her and told her that she would be put
off at the next station, which was
Lithonia. At Lithonia she was not
molested, but at Conyers the three men
and several others forced her off the
train and threw her bundles after her.
In her hurried departure she forgot her
lunch basket, which went on to Angus
ia. She boarded the fast mail for At
lanta.

NEWBERRY, S. G,
THURSDAY, JUNE :, 1883.
THE STATE DEBT.

The State debt falling due in July
amounts to 100000. 1t is cause for
congratulation that it will be promptly
met at maturity. This has been ac-
complished by issuing bonds to run for
forty years bearing +! per cent. interest.
This debt was provided for by Act OF
the last General Assembly. The bonds
issued under that Act have already
been taken, part of them in exchange
at par, and the balance by sale at and
above par.
When the matter came before the
finance committee Of the Senate and
the committee on ways and means OF
the House, it was thought by some
that the State could not float bond
drawing a less interest than five per
cent. Those who held this position
were fortified by the views Of some of
the leading financiers of this and other
States. DR.. S. Pope, ofNewberry, and
Col. Brown, of Anderson, contended for
a four per cent. bond, and the matter
was finally settled on a basis of y per
cent. The State thus saved as between
a five per cent. and q four and one halt
per cent. bond, two thousand dollars
wear for forty years. The large debt OF
the State amounting to over SIX mil
lions of dollars, and which falls due in
a few years, will in all probability have
to be provided for at the next session
of the Legislature, or at furtherest by
the one next succeeding. 1t is impor-
tant that there shall be as great a saw
ing of interest as possible, and that the
bonds to be, issued to retire this debt,
shall, if fpossible, pass into the hands Of
our own people, as the recent issue has
done, thus keeping the interest at home
instead of paying it out beyond the
State.
Under the law it was provided that
as many of the holders as desired 1t
should be allowed to exchange bonds
for the new issue and SSS,500 were thus
exchanged, leaving Ssl1,5o0 to bepro-
vided for by sale. This we learn from
a late issue of the Register, and we also
learn that bids were received for S34l 500,
being more than were on hand to be
sold. The Register gives the following
showing the amounts of bids from the
different counties:

SHERIDAN MADE 4 FULL GENERAL
OF THE ARMY.
The Manner in which the Bill was Rushed
Through Congress.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE bill
which passed the Senate day before
Yesterday and passed the House to-day,
rcviving the rank Of General OF the
army for Sheridan's benefit, was not
permitted to take the usual course, but
under the personal supervision of Sen
ator Hawley, chairman OF the Senate
committee on military affairs, was en-
crossed within half All hour Of its pass
age, and taken by the Senator in per-
son to the President.
Meanwhile Senator Hawley had tel
egraphed to the President suggesting
that the nomination was presented to
the Senate along with the notification
that the President had approved the
bill. At..3 o'clock Senators Hawley
and Manderson delivered Sheridan's
new commission to Mrs. Sheridan.
In the course of the afternoon a note
of thanks, signed by Sheridan himself,
was telegraphed to the President, and
note of acceptance to the secretary
was also signed by Sheridan. Sheridan
took the oath of office before night, and
issued an order announcing as his stall
Major. Michael Sheridan and Capts.
Kellogg and Blunt, (his present staft,)
with the increased rank of Colonel.
Gen. Sheridan's State.
WASHINGTON, Jnne 4.-Sheridan's
physicians have issued the following
bulletin. timed SIS P. NJ:
Gen. Sheridan had hemorrage this
afternoon which induced a recurrence
of heart failure. He was on the verge
of dissolution. Although he rallied,
his condition is still most precarious.
June So, \. M.-Gen Sheridan is
now lying weak and exhausted and in
Il comatose condition. He has only
rallied very feebly from the attack this
afternoon, which nearly caused his
death.
A MANIFEST IMPROVEMENT.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-The last
bulletin Of Sheridan's physicians, timed
P. NJ, says that for the time being
there is manifest improvement in the
Generals condition.

THE SECOND DISTRICT.
\ Movement on Foct to Cnseat Mr.. TillInan.

Special to the News and Courier.
AUGUSTA, June IA conversation
with prominent gentleman of Aiken
to-day leads your correspondent to
believe that Hon. DsS. Henderson will
suppiant Congressman Geo. Tillman.
He says that Mr.. Henderson is in for a
big fight and he will be backed by
Aiken County to 4 man and by L
majority of the people in The district.
Mr.. Henderson is willing to submit his
claims for the nomination to Demo-
cratic primaries or to the old-established
custom of convention. He will attend
the meeting in Hampton on the 18th
of June, when this point will be de-
cided.
NV informant states that his friends
have tried to persuade Mr.. Henderson
to make the race for years, but he has
always said he was not ready. He was
not able to pull away from big law
practice, but now he has a valuable and
capable partner in young brother, and
feels that he can make some personal
sacrifice at the call of his friends. Mr..
Henderson is very popular with the
people, and his gifts entitle him to due
consideration.
1t is regretted that Mr.. Aldrich should
come out at the same time, for it is very
desirable that the opposition to Con-
gressman Tillman should be concen-
trated. Mr.. Aldrich is highly esteemed,
and is gentleman of fine parts, but the
admirers of Mr. Henderson feel that he
should have the field.
AS regards Mr., Tillman the opinion
is freely expressed that he can be easily
beaten. He certainly does not represent
the Democratic party in Carolina or
elsewhere and his constituents across
the river are feeling rather bitter in the
thought that their representative had
no prominence in Washington until he
began to give comfort to the Republi-
can party.
These opinions coming from Aiken
are heartily confirmed over this way,
and the desire to see Congressman Till
man supplanted by Il genuine tariff
reform Democrat is spreading. This
sentiment will strengthen the opposing
candidates, and Mr.. Henderson is
aligned fairly and Squarely with Prcsi-
dent Cleveland and the party.
