FAIR PLAY.

While we do not think the nomlna-
ton by the March Convention wise
one, vet we trust that Mr.. Tillman may
te treated fairly, and we hope that he
will follow the same rule in his canvass
of the State. We sincerely trust that
we Shall not have in this State this
year campaign of abuse and slander
and vilIifcation. Nothing can be gained
for either wing of the party by such
tactics. If Mr.. Tillman can convince
majority of the Democratic voters OF
South Carolina that he is the man they
want for Governor and the regular
State Convention puts him forward as
the nominee Of the party, why then we
must make up our minds TO abide the
result. If, on the other hand, ma
iority of the Democrats think some
other man is the man they want for
Governor, then Mr.. Tillman and his
friends must make up their minds to
bow to the will of the people grace
fully. If we are to have a primary
canvass of abuse and vlilification neither
side will be in condition to accept de-
feat.
We shall expect to see Mr.. Tillman
defeated, but we shall not abuse him
nor his friends. We give them credit
for honesty in their motives and pur-
poses, whether we eniorse their
methods or not. Then let us have fair
play all around.

The editor of The Herald and News
was in Columbie last week and while
there took a walk through the State
House, and amongst other places,
walked into the hall Of the House OF
Representative where the late State
Convention was held, and he cOnfesses
that he was greatly surprised at the
condition in which the members Of
this March Convention left the beauti-
fal marble floor. Every man Of them
must have been chewer Of the ''tilthy
weed" for the floor was literally
covered, to be plain, with tobacco spit.
And we were told that over two hun
dred spittoons were placed in the hall
for the use of this Convention. Tobacco
will stain the marble and it will lie
very difficult to get it off. We wish the
members of that Convention could
have seen the condition of that beauti-
full marble floor when they left it.
We say this in no fault finding or
hypercritical spirit, but because it is
plain truth, and one that We much re-
gret is so true.

AN AZTEC TEMPLE DISCOVERED.
Hidden Underground Near the City of
Mexico-Tended by an Aged.
PrieStess.

CHICAGO, April 1.-Don Carlos
Levara, a wealthy Mexican, said to-
night that few weeks ago subterra-
mean Aztec temple was discovered
within twenty-five miles ofthe City
of Mexico.
The immense cave is filled with idols
and is supposed to contain vast treas
ures. An old Indian woman is the
only priestess of this temple She daily
descends a shaft and keeps lamp
always burning on hidden altar.
Fearing that she would die not long
ago, she intrusted the secret of the
temple to another person, who in turn
made public the secret. AS yet no white
men have visited the home Of the gods
of olden times. 1t is a we'll known fact
that Mexican Indians still practice
their ancient form of worship, although
their temples are zealously guarded
from all white men.

On yesterday at y O'Clock Mr.. Geo.
B. Cromer turned over to our newly
elected Mayor, J. K. P. Goggans, ESQ.,,
the management of the affairs of our
city government. Mr.. Cronaer has
made good Mayor, and the man who
succeeds him will have no easy job to
fill the office as well. So far as we
know the administration of Mr.. Cromer
has been entirely acceptable to all
classes of our citizens, and Mr.. Cromer
in his retirement from the office carries
with him the best wishes of all our
people, and the satisfaction Of duty we'll
and faithfully performed. His sue
cessor, Mr.. Goggans, we believe will be
equal to the occasion and will give us a
wise and faithful administration. The
finances of the town are in good con-
dition. Mr.. Fair, the present clerk, has
managed the Opera House successfully
and we'll.

It is little remarkable that almost
the entire press of the State is so unan-
imously opposed to the action Of the
late State Convention in ''suggesting"
Capt. 'Tiilman for Governor. In the
State there is one daily for Tillman and
i've against ism, of the weeklies, ac-
covdimy to the classification of the
Greenvij.e News, there are six for
Tii!man. five non-committal, and
twenty-nine against him. 1t is re-
markable we say for it cannot be
charged that all these editors are the
property OF any ring or faction. They
,io not take their position because they
are opposed I" farmers or the farming
Interests, for il nearly every case the
large majority OF the support comes
from the farmers.

BRAEEOS MAKING TROUBLE.
The First Step in tho New Campaign of
Coercion Under the Forms of Law.

COLUMBIA, April This notice,
dated April 5, was observed posted Oh
the Court House door to-day.
The registration books will be open
on the first Monday in May, June and
July.
J. ME1GHAN, Supervising Registrar.
Republican State Chairman E. NJ.
Brayton went before United States
Commissioner John Baushet and ap-
piled for a warrant against Supervisor
Meighan, charging him with failure
and refusal to open his office to-day for
the registration of voters. He claims
that under the State law the supervisor
is required to have his office open for
registration on the first Monday OF
every month from December till July.
In accordance with recent instructions
not to issue warrants without authority,
Commissioner Bausket telegraphed to
United States District Attorney Lath-
rop, asking instructions rs to his issue
of the warrant of arrest.
Chairman Brayton said tonight that
on Saturday he warned Major Meighan
TO keep his office open to-day, but that
the supervisor said he had received
legal advice that he was only required
to do so on saleday in May, June and
July. Mr.. Brayton declares that his
action was taken under sections of the
Revised Statutes providing punish
ment for persons obstructing voters IN
the exercise of any rights conferred by
law. He claimed the colored voters
came to the city to-day to register and
were unable to do SO. The Bureau mas
not seen or heard of any such. About
the Court House was as quiet as Sun
day.
Commissioner Bausket was inter
viewed tonight by the News and
Courier, and stated that he had received
a reply from the district attorney and
would issue the warrant. AS to the
time, to morrow or next day. MAJOR
NIeighan was gentleman and wouldn't
run away, and he would serve 1t IN
person. AS we'll as he could remember
the action was taken under Sections
$500 and 5,5l5, Revised Statutes, and
its purpose was to enforce the laws OF
the State relating to registration.

CHAPLAIN APPOINTED.
WOMEN VOTERS IN KANSAS.
How the Fair Sex Controlled the Elections
in Cities of the Fourth Class

KANSAS CITY, April 7.-Municipal
elections were held throughout Kansas
to-day in cities of the fourth class.
Reports from several Of these cities
indicate that the women, who are
allowed by law to vote at city elections,
cast about two-fifths Of the votes. They
had no candidates in the field of their
own sex, but allied themselves gen.
orally with one or the other of the
parties in the contest.
At the election at Oskaloosa last year
the women ran full ticket and elected
it. At the present election the women
declined to run for reelection. They
said they had placed the city's affairs
in good condition, and were willing to
let the men try and keep them So.
They worked at the polls to-day and
carried the election for the successful
ticket.

WHO ARE IN THE RING:

The Herald and News is sorely tired
of hearing politicians who want office,
and newspapers that think it popular,
talking about "court house rings and
'sring rule" 1t is nauseatlng. This
cry is the hobby ofthe demagogue. 1t
is done to array the people who live III
the country against those who happen
to live at the court house. Those who
engage in this sort Of rhetoric ana
oratory are doing it because they think
it popular. and they oeileVe the people
will be deluaod ana induced to whoop
them up, and help in this way 20
further their selfish purposes. But If
there is a genuine ring at the court
house, and there are real living indi-
viduals inside Of it, who are combined
together for the purpose of controlling
and expressing the farmers, let US know
who they are and what mischief they
are doing, and then let US ali unite to
crush the ring and bring to account the
Is men who are doing the mischief. 1t IS
utter folly and stupidity to be talking
about "court house ring" and all that
sort of stuff without specifying. We
confess that we are real anxious for
those who indulge in these sort OF
charges to be little more specific.
This paper belongs to no faction, and
we are anxious to do what we can for
the public good, and if there is d com
bination at the court house inside
ring, we would be glad for those who
make the assertion to be more specific.
Make out the counts in the indictment
a little more plainly, and we will do
anything to scatter this combination,
either at the court house or the State
house; we will touch off what little
combustion we can command.
We cannot see how any sensible man
in this country would endeavor to COM
bine against the farmer, or would desire
TO iniure him, when the great majority
of our people are farmers. Weare sure
we desire the success Of the farmers,
and if we were actuated by no higher
than selfish motive, would not say or
do anything detrimental to the farm
ing interests. The editor Of this paper
was born and reared on the farm, and
he is proud of it. We do not want to
see the farmers of this State deluded
by the demagogue and the politician,
whether he lives at the court house or
forty miles away. We do not want to
see one class of our citizens prejudiced
against another class. We want rather
to see our people united, all working
together for the common good. All
classes of our citizens are equally in:
terested in good and honest govern
ment, economically administered. And
no good and true and patriotic citizen
of South Carolina will try to engender
discord and strife among our people.
We have no objection to the farmers
taking charge, but as they are largely
in the majority we think they can do
SO without abusing other people. But
it is not the farmers who indulge in
these charges so much as some politi-
ticians who are trying to ride this
hobby into some fat place for them
selves.
Let US know these rings and who are
inside of them. Those fellows who are
talking so loudly about rings" are
after something for themselves. Just
watch for little while and you will
be convinced.

THE CONVENTION DEMONSTRATION
The University Council Reprimand Twen-
~ Three Students.
+ Evening Record, April ;.

After five days investigation the
University council took final action in
the matter of the students denonstra-
tion during the Shell convention, but
the nature of the action was not made
public until yesterday afternoon after it
had been communicated separately to
each individual student concerned.
President McBryde has announced
that all the facts and testimony was
thoroughly sifted by the council, and
that they had come to the conclusion
that the whole matter arose from the
demonstration made when Capt. TIL
man passed the crowd near the Grand
Central Hotel, and after interviewing
some fifty gentlemen, was found that
there were only tweuty-three students
in this crowd. The council severely con-
denned their conduct, but from the
testimony in the individual cases, came
to the conclusion that the outbreak
was more in fun than any Intentional
insult to the gentlemen, and fixed the
punishment at a severe reprimand to
each student separately.

leaving part of her property to mar

her interest in the estate to her hus-

Pertinent Questions.
lGreenVille News.

Before the matter goes any further
some member of the committee on Gre
dentials of the late Farmers convention
ought to explain to the public the evo-
luton Of the two Beaufort delegates
whose votes pulled the resolution for
nominations through. We see the
Palmetto Post, which is the Beaufort
County newspaper, says no convention
or mass meeting was called or held III
that county and that It knows nothing
of any delegates from there.
Who we're the delegates? How,
whe n and by whom were they elected"
Who did they represent: What right
or credentials did they have?
These are interesting and important
questions at this time. Failure to an
swer them will allow very unfortunate
suspicious to be held and conclusions
to be drawn.

CAUGHT IN THE FLOOD.
The Carolina Negroes Panic-Strickcn by
the Mississippi Overflow.
1From the New Orleans Times Demo-
crat

from the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat.
The overflow in the YaZoo country of
Mississippi and in portions of Arkansas
will probably have material effect in
checking the immigration of negroes
from the Carolinas. Msst Of those COM
ing into the Southwest from the Allan
tic States settled in the country around
Vicksburg and Grcenville. and went to
work on the river plantations. They
had never seen Il flood before, and
when the high water came and the
levees broke, and they were compelled
to seek refuge on them or on any high
piece of land they could find, they were
naturally panic-stricken at this differ
ence between their new and their old
homes. That many of them should
wish to return home to Carolina was
natural. They were we'll cared for,
however, by their employers and will
probably get over their scare ultimately
and become accustomed to crevasses;
but that the news Of the over
flow will reach Carolina and check
immigration from there is to be
expected. 1t is safe to say that the
high water in the Mississippi and the
stories of crevasse and flood which will
reach the Carolina darkies in very
exaggerated form, will render it far
more difficult for Louisiana, Mississip-
pi and Arkansas planters to get the
labor they have been recently import
ing from the Atlantic States.
