Richmond Dispatch Friday Novem-
ber 2Sth, 1890, says:
"'Llttle Nugget commenced an en-
gagement at the Theatre last night.
1t is play that has slim outline of a

success, and is interspersed with some
good singing and dancing. The Cav

House Monday, December Sth, and

funny performance as will belseen in

THE INAUGURATION,

Theinauguration fthe newly elected

era in our existence.
Excursion rates have been granted
and all the railroads and the people OF
the State are invited to attend.
A large platform is being erected in
front of the State House IS by 100 feet.
Altogether it is to be a big affair, and a
lot of people will so to Columbia to
witness the proceedings.
As soon as the ceremonies are over
Governor Tillman will take charge of
the Office and the other State officers
will also take charge of their respective
places.

Talking about things that Newberry
needs, there are so many things that
one scarcely knows where to begin, but
it seems to us if there is one thing that
would impress a stranger coming to our
town more unfavorably than another,
it is the church buildings Of the city.
They seem to Us 70 be a standing re-
buke to the Christian people of this
city. There is not a congregation in
this town that is not able to build a
nice church building. The Methodists
and Lutherans have been talking of
building for some time, and we suppose
some day will build, but Why keep
waiting: five could just get one new
church there would soon be others.
The towr has $4,000 opera house,
and we are glad Of it, but it does seem
to US that we ought to have some new
churches, and it is getting about time
to begin.

CONGRESS CoNvENES.

Ibis annual message. 1t is too much

H per like The Herald and News. We
ssan as to length, Of course, and be-
sdes, nobody cares especially to read it.
he most interesting parts Of It to US
se the portions which deal with the
acKinley tariff bill and the Lodge
aection bill. He says the new tariff
Ml has not yet had fair trial, and
pntends that it Will RESULT in a just and
auitable adjustment Of taxation and
our commercial relations. The same
band that wrote the message signed
ahe bill, and of course be will stand by
git and expect the people to do likewise.
E AS to the Lodge bill, the message
claims that Congress has the constitu-
tiopal right to pass such law, and
claims that it could not be objected to
on sectional or partisan issues. He is
in favor Of its passage, and no doubt
would be glad to sign such a bill passed
by Congress. He advises a new appor-
tionment in Congress under the census
of this year.
As to other matters we take the fol-
lowing summary of the message from
the News and Courier:
"Briefly stated, its points are that
the United States are at peace with all
the world; our relations with other coun-
tries in the respect of war and rumors
~~ef war are what they should be; the
American Conference was successful as
far as it went: we shall probably be
able to effect a treaty with the inde-
pendent State Of Congo; the Butterfield
claim against the Danish Government
has been disallowed; the Venezuelan
claim will probably be settled at some
time; Minister Miner, who was re-
sponsible for the murder Of Barrundia,
has been recalled from his place in
Guatemala; there has been an increase
of S12,G00. 900 in the receipt Of internal
revenue taxes; the building Of the navy,
which was begun under President
aCleveland's Administration, is making
satisfactory progress; the civil service
laws have been administered, so far as
the civil service commissioners had the
power to administer them, with fidel-
sy and impartiallty; the department.
Of agriculture is keepinga a close watch
on the development Of the sugar beet
industry; the patent office is doing a
great business; the Postmaster Gener
is introducing "business methods into
the postal management Of our postal
affairs; the Mormon Church is still re-
garded scab upon the body polite; the
Secretary of Warts putting the army
into good shape; Mr. Porter has taken
census upon which the President de-
sires that new apportionmtnt of rep
resentation in Congress shall be based;
the public debt is diminishing; the
taxes are increasing; there is need OF
subsidies for ships to hold the Repuo-
lican party together; and ''the public
'srevenues of upwards Of $50, 100000
'during the last fiscal year have been
''collected and disbursed."

NOTES FROM EXELSIOR.
school full.

School full.
School observed Thanksgiving day.
The cold. weather of the past week
has caused some of our farmers to en-
joy pudding and sausage.
Mr.. James D. kinard, Of Newberry
College, spent Saturday and Sunday at
home.
Thanksgiving day was pretty gen.
orally observed in this neighborhood
and great many of our people attended
divine services. 1t is both right and
proper that we. as a Christian people
after being so richly blessed during the
past year from all harm and danger
that might befall US as sinful people
here on earth should designate one day
out of the year in returning thanks to
the all-wise Creator Of the universe.
Our farmers have about finished
gathering their crops and sowing grain
Early sown oats look well, but there
is some complaint of the fly injuring
the grain.
Monday being saleday the writer, in
company with a good many of our
farmers, put in appearance at the city.
AS usual on snch occasions we found a
| large crowd in town and, indeed, New
berry herself seemed to be on boom.
At the railroad depot We were pleased
| to see such an improvement since our
last visit there, and in fact Newberry
promises to be railroad centre in the
near future.
Mr.. J. w. Stockman has the contract
for building Prof J. S. Wheeler's new
residence here. Work was commenced
last week and is now being pushed
rapidly on. If the weather admits Mr..
Stockman will complete the dwelling
at an early day.
A good many of our farmers contem-
plate visiting Columbia to day Thurs
| day. in order to witness the inaugural
ton of Governor Tillman. Let's all 60
down to Columbia to-day and enjoy
the inauguration with all the other
Tillmanites.
Owing to the increased number of
| pupils and scarcity of comfortable room
the trustees of Excelsior school held a
business meeting on last Thursday
| night in order to consider the matter
! of enlarging the school building. After
considering the matter it was decided
upon by the trustees to add ten feet
more to the length of the building
which will make the school room il
and p instead of 81 and q. This addi-
ton to the building will make the
school room much more comfortable
for teacher and pupils. The lumber
has been hauled and the work will
be completed in few days.

SENATOR HAMPTON SHOT.
His Son Accidentally Wounds Him While
Out Hunting.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. Ex-senator
Hampton's son-in-law, Col. Haskell,
this evening received information that
while the Senator was bird shooting
with his son on the plantation the
latter accidentally shot his father in
the head.
It was reported that one of the Sena-
tors eyes was destroyed, but although
he was struck in the eye by the shot,
the sight has not been lost.
While hunting in the swamps of the
Mississippi three years ago, the Senator
accidentally killed his horse. He was
far from assistance and in his lamed
condition had great difficulty in reach
ing home. This makes the third serious
accident that has befallen this ardent
sportsman while hunting during the
past thirteen years.

THE LEGISLATURE.

During the past week very little CT
Importance has been done by the Leg
islature. The Governors message was
received and has been referred to the
proper committees. Thanksgiving,
Sunday and saleday have all come in,
and it will be next week before the
Legislature gets down 10 good solid
work.
Then everything has been in an un-
settled condition getting ready for the
inauguration of the new Governor,
which event is to take place to-day.
Then, too- the members seem to be
waiting for the deliverances TO be con-
tanned in the inaugural Of the new
Governor. We presume legislation
will be shaped very much as Governor
Til.man may recommend.
\ number of bills have been intro
duced. The committees have been ap-
pointed and will be ready for solid
work after this week.
The caucus plan seems still to be OBJ
served, and some Of the leaders Will en-
deavor to control all legislation Of i'm
portance on the caucus plan. Did it
ever occur to the advocates Of caucus
that a small minority could control
legislation. Suppose there are 93
members in the caucus and bare ma
jority decide question then As would
control the whole Legislature. Well
if the balance of the people are salts
fed We are not going to complain, but
we do not approve of holding a caucus
Of a faction Of the party and excluding
the balance.
The election for United States Sena-
tor has been fixed for next Tuesday.
Hampton should be elected as his own
successor, and we trust will be.
Tomorrow a successor to Judge Fra
ser in the Third Circuit will be elected.
We have heard of no opposition to him,
but there is no telling about these
things.
And on Wednesday, December II, an
election will be held for 6 superinten-
dent Of the penitentiary and directors,
and also for railroad commissioners,
and a judge Of the eighth circuit.
Judge Norton will probably succeed
himself, but for superintendent of the
penitentiary and railroad commission
ers candidates are numerous.
Mr.. Blease has introduced several bills.
One to make days work in the New
berry cotton mills ten hours. To pro-
vide separate coaches on the railroads
for the races.
The Columbia correspondent of the
News and Courier in speaking Of the
Legislature the day after Thanksgiving
says of Mr.. Blease among other mem
bers:
The majority of the young men
were, however, in their seats and
among these there are not few who
are already making their forensic mark.
Mr.. John Gary Evans, Mr.. Cole. L.
Blease, Mr.. Stanyarne Wilson, Mr..
Childs, Capt. X. S. Tupper, Mr.. Ed
ward Hughes have already spoken
briefly on several matters and are max
ing an excellent impression"
A bill has been introduced providing
for the calling of "a constitutional con-
vention.
Speaker Irby is making an excellent
presiding officer and all the members
are well pleased with him.
The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1890-12-04
Mr.. F. II. McNIaster has retired from
the Columbia Record to devote his
whole time to law.

Next Tuesday is the day fixed by the
Legislature for the election ola sue
cessor to Wade Hampton in the United
States Senate. We have always be-
lieved and still believe that Hampton
will be his own successor. Unless We
are very much mistaken it is the wish
of a majority of the voters Of Newberry
that he should be- and if our Represen-
tatives do not vote for him they will
not represent their constituents in this
matter. His election was not an issue
in our primary for at that time the gen
eral opinion was that he would have
no opposition. And We take it the same
is true in other counties.

\ UNITED COUNTRY.

From the Farmers Advocate, of Kan-
sas, it would seem that the mission of
the Farmers Alliance politically was
to wipe ont sectional lines and give us
in the future united country working
for the common good. The Alliance
has played an important part in the
elections this year. Possibly the OBJ
ject is to form new political party.
The Alliance this year has mostly op-
Grated with the Democratic party as
against the Republican party. The
Democratic is in reality the party of
the people. The followingex extract may
be of interest, as it purports to speak
for and of the future of the new organ
iZation
"We shall at once commence to mar
shall the hosts of the people for the con-
fict of 1892. In this great work there
are many prejudices to be overcome.
Sectional lines must be abolished. IN
terests which are identical must be
brought together and the combined
forces of the agricultural and laboring
classes must be consolidated against
the forces Of corporations, monopolies,
trusts, syndicates and moneyed aristo-
cracy who have for years feasted upon
the substance of the people.
The coming contest will not take
place between the Northern and
Southern sections of our country. The
interests Of the people of the West and
South are Identical, aud their political
forces must be consolidated against the
power Of corporate greed.
"It has been, and is yet, the holy
mission Of the Farmers Alliance to
subdue the sectional prejudice which
has been kept up by professional polit-
icians in the interest of monopoly. 1t
is full time for this nation to be united"

CONGRESSMAN ELLIOTT.
The Supreme Court Decides the Seventh,
District Contest in His Favor.
Special to Augusta Chronicle. I

Especial to Augusta Chronicle.l
COLUMBIA, 5. c., Nov, 2S.-Hon7
! Vim. Elliott is the congressman from
| the Seventh district cf South Carolina,
and his election gives the State corps
Of Congressman who are all Demo-
Gratis.
The state board of canvassers at noon
to-day rendered their decision in his
favor, and Thomas E. Miller, the fa-
nous canary bird statesman who un-
seated him last September, is sorrow
fully warbing his little song in the
swamps Of the coast.
The decision Of the board was rend-
cred in accordance with the decision Of
the Supreme court, filed yesterday, in
favor of Elliott in the Elliott-Miller
contest. The board decided the matter
in snort order and Elliott was gwen his
! certificate, armed with which he left
: for his home this afternoon, in happy
frame of mind, not to 90 to Washington
until Congress reconrenes.
WHY ELLIOTT GOT IT.
the recent election: Miller claimed a
| large majority 0! the votes, OuC Wnen
the returns came before the boards in
several counties they threw out many
ballots on the grounds that they were
illegal in size and color, and that they
were folded in a peculiar way, with
every vole so that it could be distin-
guished as it was deposited. The object
of this was to prevent the colored men
from voting for Elliott. The Brayton
and Elliott tickets were legal. 1t was
proved in Miller's contest before the
last Congress that he had done the
same thing two years ago, so as to dis
tinguish his ballots. This action of
the county boards gave Elliott ma
jority Of Ar votes. Miller appealed to
the State Board, with the result of a
tie, and then Elliott carried the matter
before the Supreme court, with the
result stated.

subject published in another column
this week.
The articles will be written by a
young man and student who has had
the advantages Of study and travel
VIII ich qualify him to handle his
subject in an entertaining and instruc-

special attention to the subject Of which
he proposes to treat.
