No PERSONALITIES WANTED.

The Greenville News urges that the
campaign upon which we are about to
enter be free from personalities. In
this our contemporary is right. If We
are to have a campaign of education" "
let us have facts and figures and see
where the leaks in the treasury are, II
any there be, OF where taxes can be re-
Guced.
1t thinks the contemplated meeting
between Tillman aud Dargan useless,
as no one doubts the personal courage
of either. That the "Twenty-one Con
ference" has made itself sufficiently
ridiculous to be no longer disturbing
element-that "Capt. Tillman IS last
reducing his own candidacy to one Of
pure personality, and having it stripped
of all the frills of indefinite charges and
promises of reform and leaving the
bare I want to he Governor as the
motif. This being the case, the best
method to defeat him is to keep Other
personalities out of the fighs. Letlt oe
struggle of facts and figures agains1
Tillman's big T. The result IN thai
case would be his defeat.
The State Executive Committee
have mapped out St ries of meetings
If Capt. Tillman is simply allowed t(
iniure his own cause at each of those
meetings as be did at Anderson, he i
defeated"

In The Herald and News last week
was statement prepared by the Comp
troller General showing how much
money is appropriated for the ex-
penses of the government and for what
it is paid. Figures generally are very
dry, but at this time. when so much is
being said and written about eXtrav-
agance and reform and all that sort, it
might be very interesting for every tax
payer to study those figures and decide
for himself where there is need for re-
form. At any rate from those figures
he can see where his money goes. Put
last weeks Herald and News aside for
handy reference.

The Charleston Sun to Become the Charles

Especial to News and Courier. !

Special to News and Courler.I
COLUMBIA, Nay 27.-The declaration
of the Charleston Publishing Company
was filed in the Secretary of States Of
flee to-day and a commission was is
sued for its organization. The petit
tioners are: TheodoreWenzel, 2S9 King
street; w. H. Welch, 10 Rutledge ave-
nue.; Prof. J. Keppler, Porter's Acad-
emy; J. Fred. Lilienthal, 80 Beaufain
street; X. S. Tupper, l23 Tradd street.
The general purpose of the company
is to publish daily and weekly, eve
ming or morning newspaper in Charles
ton to be known as "the Charleston
Herald" The capital stock is fixed at
ST., 1000 in shares of S25 each, to be paid
80 per cent. cash, and 50 per cent. at
the call of the directors Of the COM
pany.
Mr.. J. d. Cappelmann, of Charles
ton, who represented the petitioners
and secured the commission, told the
News and Courier that the purpose OF
the new company was to purchase the
Charleston Sun, change its name, inn
prove it and develop it. He said that
it was not to be Tillnan organ, and
that the nine Relgian block farmers OF
Charleston had nothing to do with it.
He was here simply as the legal repre-,
sentative Of the parties and was not
connected otherwise with the project.

Several newspaper correspondents
have nominated Col. J. l.. Orr for
Governor and some Of our. contempo-
raries have endorsed the same. Col.
Orr would make US a good Governor
and can easily be elected if be will con-

That is just our opinion neighbor
and we would be very glad to see Col.
Orr come out for the office at the be-
ginning of the campaign at Greenville
on the 10th of June. We have not had
a Governor from the Piedmont section
since the Democrats came in power in
1876.

There may have been other special
appropriations in 1889 not necessary in
1880, and while this comparison of
figures shows nearly a hundred thou
sand dollars more appropriated in 1889
than in 1880, we do not see where 1t
necessarily shows extravaganza. The
thing for those who claim extravaganza
is to show from the appropriations OF
1889 where the extravaganza exists.
In comparing the appropriation bill
Of 1880 With that Of 1889 we find the
following increase in appropriations in
the Act of 1889: For the Lunatic Asy-
lum So, 400; for the support of the
militia $1,000. These two items alone
show an increase of $50, ,iOO. Then
there is an item for the transportation
of convicts, $1,000, that was formerly
paid by the counties. Then in the ap-
preparation bill Of 1889 is included the
pay of the Railroad Commissioners
$50, not in 1880, and which is paid
back by the railroads. There may be
difference Of opinion as to whether
these last items are necessary expenses,
but they will reduce the apparent diff
ference in the two years very material
l.. There is also an item in the appro-
pration bill of 1880 not in that of 1889,
which should be mentioned. In 1880,
Sl6,600 were appropriated to the sup
port Of the peni;entiary. III 1889 moth
ing is Appropriated TO the support Of
the penitentiary- This will change the
balance slightly.
We repeat, the question that we are
interested in, is to find where the eX-
travagance comes in. Let US know
where the appropriations for 1889 can
be reduced, or where they were useless
or eNtravagant.
We are free to admit that we think
too much money is spent il South
Carolina on higher education by the
State. We think there might be con-
siderable reform in the management Of
the South Carolina University, and we
have said so repeatedly. We do not
desire the institution crippled in its
usefulness, but it seems to US there are
too many professors and more ''schoolS"
than the number of students warrants.
Take the school Of pedagogies for in
stance. The catalogue puts down
three pupils, and we were told last fall
there was only one in actual attendance.
There seems 10 be no demand for this
''school" and it is right expensive
thing to the State to educate these
three Young men in pedagogies. This
is only one item.
Now let those who claim eXtrav-

Tom Voolfolk, who is in Jail charged
with numbering his fathers entire
family three years ago in Georgia,
and who has had several trials and mis-
trials, was found with razor in bis
cell some days ago. 1t would seem to
US that the Georgia people ought to be
about tired of reading about Voolfolk
by this time, and as the Augusta
Chronicle says, if Tom really wants a
razor, why let him have it, and if he is
in q cell by himself, why let him use it.
That would be very easy way to end
the matter.

THE AIKEN SHORTAGE.
Treasury Murray Makes Full Settlement
With the State and Will Settle Win
the County in Few Days.
ISpecial to News and Courier. ]

COLUMBIA, May 27.-Ex-Treasurer
]. E. Murray, of Aiken County, to-day
made full settlement with the State,
and the warrant issued against him by
State Treasurer McIver, under the law
of 1888, was withdrawn. This warrant
was dated May 81, signed by the State
Treasurer and impressed with the seal
of his office It was addressed to all the
sheriffs in the State, and recited that
whereas Joseph F. Murray, late treas
urer of Aiken, had neglected to pay
over to the State Treasurer the amount
in his hands belonging to the State
and for which he made himself liable,
this warrant was to command the sher'
ifs to apprehend Murray and commit
him to Jail, there to remain IN strlct
custody until he should have rendered
a full account and paid over the taxes
for which he is liable.
Mr.. Murray was not arrested under
this warrant. He came to Columbia
last night accompanied by his bonds
men, Messrs. Thos. J. Davies and l..
H. Henderson, and at 1,30 p. m. called
ct the State Treasurer's office and ten:
Qor6O CeTLlIlGu ClSCh VII Vic Ivan o. -
Exchange Bank of this city for SlO,'
O2S.S6, whereupon Treasurer Mclvel
gave him a receipt in full.
Col. AIcIver said to The News and
Courier Bureau that the amount paid
covered every cent Mr.. Murray was due
the State according to the report of the
Comptroller General.
Mr.. Murray was seen Immediately
after the settlement. He asked The
News and Courier in justice to him tc
say that he had had no intention Of
leaving South Carolina, and had not
left the State except for few minutes
at time. He had been engaged in
trying to raise the money to make the
settlement. He had property enough
to cover the deficit, but it had taken
time to realize on it. If be had been
able to do so in time the money would
have been paid before the State authorl,
ties took action. Mr.. Murray said that
his deficit in county taxes had not been
settled yet, but would be in a few days
He was going to Aiken to arrange It.
Mr.. Murray's friends attribute his
defalcation solely to carelessness. They
do not believe that he intended to de-
fraud the State or to shirk payment,
and say that he has suffered intensely
on account of the position in which he
has found himself. n. &. G.

time in the future | will have an OPP

be one Of my greatest pleasures. The
many beautiful words that have hear |

are so touching and comfor ilg TO me
in this sore atfiiction. Even the dear
little children took so much interest in
him l will always love them and eX-
tend a cordial greeting to every one of
them. How often they came to his
door anxiously inquiring How is
Uncle Chris to-day" And when the
answer was "No better" they turned
away with sorrow pictured in their
faces because they could not see him.
But with all that could be done for him
and was done, it was not in our power
to save him from the strong hand of
death. The Master called and he had
