WE desire TO specially call the at.
tention of our Democratic free trade
friends to a few solid facts, which like
all other facts present the only con.
vincing argument known to poor weak
doubling human nature: When the
Mckinley bill was pending, and in.
deed after it had become "a law, you
insisted that it was absurd to put a
tariff on linen, because this country
could not build and successfully ope.
rate linen mills. The tariff was put
on linen, and the result is, hat three
linen mills are already in operation in
the New England States, while others
are being built and equipped as rapid.
ly as possible at Minneapolis, Mimi. /;
at Eau Claire, Wis, and at Sioux
Falls, South Dakota. So much for
one free trade prediction. Now, for
another. All during the last campaign
the w~orkingmen were told by Demo.
cratic editors and orators that the
tariff on tin plates put a tax upon bis
dipper aud dinner bucket, notwith.
standing they knew, or should have
known, that the tin plate section of the
Mckinley bill would not become a
law until July 1, 1891. Now for the
effect of that law upon American in
dustries. Before its enactment not a
pound of tin plate was made in the
United States, now American Mills
are turning it out by the ton and more
than a dozen large mills are in process
of erection in various sections of the
country, and the tin mines 10 thi:
country are being for the first time
pro6tably worked, and, most impor.
tant of all, the price of tin plate il
to-day, in Chicago and New York,
twenty per cent. less than it was last
September, aud dealers are predicting
that it will be still cheaper after the
new mills get to work. This isn't
campaign bluster, but it is a plain
statement of hard, solid facts, which
al be fully proven.

How many people know that the
present silver law is practically free
coinage of all silver produced by
American mines, that is to say, that
the 100000 ounces of silver bullion
which the Treasury Department is
compelled by law to buy each month
is more than the average amount pro.
duced by all of the American mines -?
That shows how u%nfriendly the Re.
publican party is to silver, doesn't it?

HENRI WATTERsoN used a swear
word in his newspaper to express his
joy that the Fifty.frst Congress was
dead. The chances are that be will
have far more temptation to profanity
before the first session of the Fifty.
second Congress is completed. Colo.
mel Watterson further ~astonished his
readers by informing them that the
late Congress was most unrepublican."
Then what in the name of all that is
Democratic will he call the Fifty

One o. K. Paxton is a resident of
White Springs, Florida. One Morri,
son, a Republican, was appointed
postmaster of the town. Paxton put
up a conspiracy by which Morrison
was thrown into jail and prevented
from serving as postmaster. Morrison
brought suit, the United States took a
hand 10 the matter, and on the trial
Mr.. Paxton was convicted and sen.
fenced to pay a fine of 81 900. Served
him right. Paxton belongs to a class
of Southern FIRE eaters who need a
lesson once in a while, and he will
have to take his dose, as the court has
refused a new trial.

We are glad to note that Newberry is
soon to have a savings bank, and a
genuine savings bank that will receive
small deposits and pay interest on
them. It is something we have long
needed and that The Herald and News
has advocated before.
Application for charter has been filed
with the Secretary Of State and the
books of subscription will be opened
soon.
The capital stock is to be 81, 1000, in
shares of $50 each. The board of cor
porators are Jno. B. Carwile, r. L.
Mclaughlin and others. The money
will be readily subscribed and it is
thought the bank will be organized
about the first Of April.
Deposits will be received as low as 81
and possibly for less amounts, and ID
terest paid on them.
Everybody can have bank account
now. 1t is a good thing and we are
glad to see this evidence of enterprise
and progress.

4 CHILD BITTEN BY A MAD CAT.
The Little One TakS=s--n. the Pasteur
Institute in New York.
Especial to the State"


FLORENCE, S. c., Feb. 21.--On Tues
day last the little tve-year-old girl of
Mr.. r. H. McCracken, prominent
citizen of this place, was in the room
with domestic cat, when, without
provocation or the least warning, the
animal jumped at the Child and bit her
on the forefinger of the right hand, in
hicting painful though, as thought at
the time, not dangerous wound.
Mr.. McCracken put the cat in a
closet and kept it there, to see if any of
the symptoms of hydrophobia would
appear. The animal continued in a
ferocious temper while confined, and
would eat nothing. To-day it died.
The little girl has been apparently
very we'll since the affair, but Mr.. Nc
Cracken took her to New York tonight,
where she will be treated at PasteIr's
Institute. It is almost certain lat the
cat was mad.
This is the second &C yldent of the
kind that has happened in Florence
The first occurred little over a yeal
age, and the victim was Mr.. ?. H.
Walsh's little child, which died.

hope our farmers will not forget that a

The Estimate Made.

We publish herewith the estimate
made by Mr.. W. G.. Whitner Us to the
cost of establishing 4 system of water
works and electric lights. His estimate
is as 10 the cost of establishing plant to
furnish water and lights for the whole
town. What We want to get at is what
it will cost the town Per annum for
some company to furnish water and
lights. The council is securing other
information and will submit 4 full and
complete report.
Water and lights ought to go to-
gether. The meeting will be called as
soon as all the Information is received.
To Hon. J. X. p. Goggans, Mayor, of
Newberry, 5. {.
DEAR SIR: In reply toyour request,
to give YOU some idea of The cost OF
system of water works and electric
lights for your city, beg leave to sub
nit the following: 4 system of water
works, giving your city complete pro-
lection from fire, and furnishing an
abundant supply of water for domestic
purposes, would cost about S4S,0OO.
Such Il system would extend all over
the city, and give protection through
about 60 double nozzle hydrants. The
ordinary pressure-from the stand pipe,
in the business portion Of the town
would be about So pounds, which would
throw Il stream - feet high. The
pumps would be in duplicate, and Of
such capacity rs to furnish not less
than four hydrant streams.
4 system of electric lights, furnish
ing both arc and incandescent lights,
for streets and domestic lights, would
cost about $4,000. Such system would
consist of duplicate machinery, and
would be so arranged, that the street
lights could be operated independent of
domestic lights and vice versa.
If both plants were combined so as to
be operated together, they could be
built for $60,00n. And this would be by
far the most economical arrangement
for operation. With both plants COM
bined, you ought to be able to get your
streets lit by electricity for about the
same sum you are now paying to have
them lighted by lamps, besides giving
your citizens an opportunity to light
their business houses and residences
Will CnlS convenient auu oupeAIoA
light.
One of the greatest advantages aris-
ing from combining the two plants is,
that your engineer is always at his post
during the night, with full supply Of
steam, and can at moments notice put
his pumps to work in the event there
should be large confagration, exhaust
Jug the supply of water in the stan
pipe, and thus decreasing the effective
pressure. This arrangement is very
desirable, and is apt to have consider
able weight with insurance, companies
in reducing their rates.
Trusting the above may be of some
service to you, I am very respectfully
yours, WM. c. WHITSER.

The Ex-President's Friends Take No Stock
in the Post Story.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-The state
ment published to-day that Mr.. Cleve-
land had determined not in any event
to become the Democratic candidate
for the Presidency in 1892, led to con-
siderable talk and discussion here.
The report, Mr. Cleveland's friends
and admirers say, does not come from
sources particularly friendly to the ex-
President, at one time unanimously
chosen the standard-bearer of the party,
and they are 10th to credit it. On the
other hand, the anti-Cleveland men
seize upon the story eagerly. Some of
Mr.. Cleveland's closest friends in Con.
gress, however, say they know nothing
of any purpose on his part to decline
the nomination, and do not believe it.
Congressman Tracy, of New York,
says that some time ago Mr.. Cleveland
thought Of taking himself out of the
field, but friends insisted that be should
not do so and that bis duty would be
to obey the commands of his party, and
so the eX-President agreed not to with
draw, and let the future shape itself.
EX-Secretary Whitney, who is in the
city, when asked to-day about the pub
lished story that he had a letter from
Mr.. Cleveland declining to be cardi-
date said: "Ihe story is without any
foundation of truth whatever.n
KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT IT..
New YORK, Feb. 20.-Mr. Cleveland
was engaged in reference case this
morning, and sent out word to all re-
porters that he knew nothing whatever
about the matter published in the
Washington Post about his declination
of the denomination for the Presidency.
