THE DUTCH FORK.

have often been requested to write a
history of the section of country known
as the Dutch Fork. Such request
can refer only to an account Of its set
tlement by white people, description
of its boundaries, and 4 narrative of IN
cidents tending to portraythe characters
of leading individuals. All else is prop
erly embraced in the history of the
State of South Carolina. In comply
ing with this request, shall endeavor
in the following sketches to arrange IN
some sort of order the most prominent
events occurring in the Dutch Fork
within my recollection, as far back as
sixty years ago; and beyond that time
what I have gathered from legends
coming down through many years pre-
ceding my early boyhood. When
these sketches shall be completed, it is
purposed to publish them IN the form
of a book, with the introduction here
and there, among them, of my Dutch
Fork stories printed many years ago.
and beyond the remembrance Of near
ly every one now living. These stories
are to be rewritten and republished in
the forthcoming volume to illustrate
and recall the manners and customs Of
this community of people, so remarka-
bic for their sturdiness Of bodily cons
titution, honesty and untiring iudus-
try, fonduess for humor, and simplici-
ty in their unaffected love for God and
love for neighbor.
"The Easter Eggs" published last
week, will indicate the character of
these stories. Their titles are. "The Cob
Pipe" illustrate the old-time log
rollings and cardings "Polly Pomper-
nickel, or the The Wedding in Mollo-
hon,-to recall the merry. makings at
weddings in days long gone by; "Eber-
hart KoselhanZ, the Wizard Gun
smith (Buechsensmied)," "a picture of
the superstition that held sway over
the people Of the Dutch Fork, during
the war of "de Intepentency !" "The
Two Marksmen Of Ruff7s Mountain;"
detailing the trials of Katreena of the
rosemary breath "Old Nick,"-a sto-
ry delineating Dutch Fork magnanim-
;ty; and perhaps John Punterick,"
the man who never ate fewer than sew
enteen apple dumplings at one meal,
unless the apples of which the dump
lings were made Zone apple to dump

Can't Newberry Have an Arch I:

To the Editor Of The Herald and
News: Can't the County Of Newberry
get up $50 or 5000 for the purpose OF
building an arch in Columbia for the
centennial celebration? [ have nc
doubt at all but there is just as much
pride in Newnerry County as any
other county in the State, and am
sure Newberry has the beauty, grace
and elegance in her young men and
maidens to design lovely arch. We
will never have this opportunity again,
for there will be quite change while
the next one hundred years roll by.
Let Newberry, Prosperity, Silver
Street, Chappells and Jalapa, and all
the people come up with their sub
scriptions for the arch. | know that
the people Of Newberry who will attend
the centennial will regret very much if
we don't have an arch that Newberry
failed to makea display.
Why can't Col. Purcell and Maj.
Blalock begin the work for an arch:
Each one Of these fine looking officers
would feel a great deal better to see an
arch at the centennial. J. B. &.

There will be no spring term of the
Supreme Court. Associate Justice Nc
Gowan, who has been sick for some
time is still unable to hold the court,
and there being but one member Of the
court left, does not make quorum and
hence there can be no court. The
Governor has no power to fill either OF
the places. There will be no Supreme
Court now until the November term.
The Herald and News hopes that
Judge MCGOWAN may soon find in the
rest he is taking q speedy restoration
to health and vigor, and that he may
be yet spared to his State and his peo-
pie many years.

THURSDAY, APRIL %, 1891.
THE THIRD PARTY.

\ great deal is being written and
said now about third party and par
ties in general. There are some Of the
Alliance leaders who seem anxious to
make out Of the Alliance third politi-
cal party, but so far as the South is con-
cerned this agitation is destined to fail
ure. The plea put up is that if the
demands and needs Of the farmers and
laboring classes can't be obtained
through either one of the old paties,
then third party is the necessary
thing. There is no room in South Caro-
lima for third party and in our pecu-
liar condition it would be suicidal for
the white people to split and attempt a
third party. For the farmers Of the
South TO unite with the West in the
formation Of a third party will not
work. The interests of the two sections,
agriculturally speaking, are not COM
mon. The principal crop OF the one is
cotton, while the staple crop ofthe other
is the cereals, and each section is going
to be actuated by that which will bene-
fit it most. Man is selfish animal by
nature and he is going to look after his
own.
One of the chief arguments Of some
Of the leaders of the Alliance who are
trying to form this great party is that
the farmers of all sections are brothers
with the same aims and that they must
get together and make this great party.
The State, in recent editorial, puts this
question strongly and truthfully when
it says that "dissensions are inevitable
among the members of the different
sections. The. Southern Allianceman
who imagines that his Western brother
sympathizes with him in his desire to
hold cotton for rise is badly posted on
human nature The Western Alliance
man who thinks that his Southern
brother will help him to corner wheat
is deceived.
"Intelligent selfshuess moves men,
parties and governments, and inteli-
gent selfishness is the bar to any lasting
cooperation between necessarily an
tagonistic influences. The farmers Of
the South will find that their storekeep-
ing and banking neighbors, much as
they may be prejudiced against them,
;lIy NJ
more at beart than the Western farmers
can have.
The South consumes Western provi-
sions. The West consumes Southern
cotton. Each seeks to raise the price
Of its own staple and lower the price
of that of the other section. There can
be no community of interests in such
matters and consequently no pulling
together.
The rule is the same as to Offices"

1t is funny to see how times change
and men change with them. \ year
ago if Governor Richardson's admins
tration had remitted the tax penalties
of the Three C's road Captain Tillman
and all his followers would have de-
nounced the act outrageous favoritism
to a corporation and servile sacrifice of
the people to the interests of a monopo-
ly and would have limited darkly at
corrupt influences. On the other hand
Governor Richardson's friends would
have defended the act as wise encour-
agement for 4 struggling and important
enterprise. Now, however, it is the
Richardson element that denounces
and the Tillman element that defends.
Politics, beloved brethren, is politics.

The Greenville News gets the third
party business down about right when
it says:
1.-THE third party idea about sits
down to this: if it is urged it vii split
the Alliance and the Democratic party,
too. There are hundreds and thou
sands of alliance men who have voted
and always will vote against any can

a PRESIDENTIAL TRIP.

An interesting article is published on
the first page of The Herald and News
of this week from the new York sun,
descriptive Of the cars in which PTesi-
dent Harrison and party are making
their tour through the States An es-
innate Of the expense is also given.
The Sun estimates that it will cost the
President something like $4,000, sup
posing that be is maintaining his dig
nifty and paying his fare.
1t will be very pleasant trip, but a
very expensive one. If he fails of re-
nomination by his party, or Of re-elec-
ton in case of nomination, it will in
deed be dear trip.
But then this is great country and
is WORTH seeing, and the luxury and
magnificence of the presidential train
makes it very delightful.

We have not heard anything from
the Coosaw case in a whole week.
Judge Aldrich. has decided in
favor of the State on the points
raised before him, but Judge Simonton
has not yet rendered his decision. In
the meantime no rock is being dug from
the depths of Coosaw and the State is
getting no royalty. But ''iti is all right
so long as tits right" and we presume
we can only wait and see.
The above is a little premature as
will be seen from the following extract
from the Columbia correspondence OF
the News aud Courier of the 2lst.
Coosaw is still with US and is likely
to remain for season.
Attorney General Pope accepted ser
vice to-day of two notices IN the Coo.
saw case. One notice seeks to compel
the State to amend its complaint IN the
State Court at Beaufort on the first day
of the next term so as to show "ln what
ulduueE Luc IeIaIOlS ID. ~. 4Al4lAlohi =
J. Pope, w. H. Ellerbe, George H.
Walter and J. D. Montgomery exist as
and compose the alleged board Of phos'
phate commissioners, and under what
authority they bring the present ac-
ton" The object of this notice is evl-
dently to make the REALTORS confess that
they are acting under the Act of lS9O
if that be really the fact. The other
notice is that the defendants will cali
the attention of the State Court at
Beaufort to the Coosaw's position that
the case has been removed into the
United States Court.
: Another postscript is necessary. The
daily papers of yesterday announce the
decision of Judge Simontou of the
United States court and he decides
that he has jurisdiction over Coosaw.
AS it now stands, the case is still two
courts.

THE COLUMBIA CENTENNIAL.

The Columbia centennial will be
held in May 18th, l4th and 18th. Con-
siderable preparations are being made
to make it q success, and at this time it
will be delightful to visit Columbia. It
is one the prettiest cities in the South,
and with its broad streets and beauti-
full trees will be doubly attractive at
this time.
Several of the counties are going to
have special exhibits in the way OF
arches, and will il other ways be great
y advertised on this occasion. SO far
as we have been informed, Newberry
is making no arrangements far an arch,
or an exhibit Of any kind. The Herald
and News would have been delighted
ifNewberry if could or would have had a
county arch, but nobody seems to be
willing to work the matter up. It is
not too late yet, however.
Special railroad rates will be given
and Newberry will send as large a
delegation of visitors as any county,
but special exhibit would have been
big advertisement for US.
Newberry will furnish her military
company, however, to take part in the
parade and two staff offcers-Col. C.
J. Purcell of Gov. Tiilman's staff and
Maj. l.. W. c. Blalock Of Gen. Rich
bourg's Staff-wiil attend and take part
in the parade, and no county will be
able to furnish two more handsome or
dashing young officers.
The centennial is going to be a sue
cess and if We cant have an arch, all Of
Us will 60 down and admire the other
county arches and have lots fun.
