The Herald and News completes this
week the publication Of the poll lists OF
the several townships. The polls OF
No. l Township were published last
because before we began the publica-

turned this year and those who were
on the books last year, but did not re-
turn this year, and also list of names
who are liable to pay a poll tax and

and of publishing it is to find out If
there are any persons who are liable to
pay poll tax and who have made no
return. The school trustees Of the
various townships are charged with
the duty of examining the several lists
and reporting to the Auditor any such
names that may come within their
knowledge or observation.

total polls as on the books last year and

Fatal Fight in Roanoke.

ROANOKE, Va. April 2S.-A terrible
tragedy occurred at Marshal's cafe, in
this city, at 6 O'Clock this afternoon.
Nick Flood, son of Major John H.
Flood, a prominent tobacconist of
Lynchburg, and Chas. l.. Ross, who
came here from Washington in Febru-
ary last, engaged in duel with pistols.
Ross fell pierced by several bullets and
died in few minutes without speaking.
Flood was shot through the mouth and
breast, but will probably recover,
Both men were gamblers, and the
shooting was the result of a quarrel at
the card table about six weeks ago.
Some days ago they were prevented
from shooting each other and placed
under bonds to keep the peace. Ross
had SIP in his pockets. Flood is a
dangerous character. A few months
ago he stabbed Martin O'Meara, a
Lynchburg tailor, nearly to death, and
subsequently almost killed a man
named Payne, Of this city, with
billiard cue.

Hampton Home Again.
! Special to News and Courier. |

COLUMBIA, 5. c., April 23.-Gen.
Wade Hampton arrived here from
Mississippi tonight, accompanied by
Miss Hampton, and is at Nrlght's S
Hotel.
Gen. Hampton was called on by this
correspondent and was asked if ne
cared to say anything for publication
on q choice of great many subjects
with which he is thoroughly familiar.
He said no; that he had nothing just
now of special interest except that it
gave him great deal Of pleasure to De
back again in South Carolina, and
especially with the near prospects Of
visiting his friends and the Survivors
over in Augusta.
Gen. Hampton also spoke with pleas
ant anticipation of the coming Centen-
nial He has not yet begun to prepare
his Centennial Grafton. He will go
over to Millwood tomorrow and will
probably be in Augusta early on Mon
day morning.
Gen. Hampton was asked is he had
seen the report of talk had with him
by Editor Fortune, which has been
very widely copied. He said that he
had seen it and that it was correct eN-
cept in one particular. II refer" he
said, "to thepassage in which the inter
viewer makes me say that [ am in ia
vor Of free coinage of silver. On the
contrary l am opposed to it. | so
stated my position at the time. What
did say was that I, as did many other
Democrats, voted for it to secure suffi-
cient opposition to kill the force bill,
which policy was successtul.'
Speaking Of the free coinage Of silver
and the sub-treasury matter Gen.
Hampton said that in his opinion they
would both either disappear before the
next Presidential campaign or would
not retain sufficient force in the popu-
lar mind to be important factors in the
determination of who should or should
not be President.
Gen. Hampton also discussed very
clearly the relative chances Of the men
who were now prominently mentioned
for the Presidency, and also touched
on political matters nearer home, on
which, although treated very signifi-
cantly and interestingly, he said he
would prefer not to be quoted for the
present. Gen. Hampton is looking eN-
ceedingly well.

THE REFOENEES IN THE COLD.
The WhrIigig Of Politics in Charleston
Senator lrby on the Situation.
Special to the Register J

CHARLESTON. 5. G., April 27.-The
publication to-day of an interview with
Chairman Irby, Of the State Demo-
Mr.. lrby gives official recognition Of
the Executive Committee OF the muni-
nipal Democratic party, acted like a
boulbShell in the ranks of the Reform
ers. Chairman Irby's official utter
anccs have caused change in the po-
litical situation here. Democrats Of
both wings Of the party are utterly at
sea, and no man can tell what the har-
vest will he. The situation is perpleX-
ing. The Municipal Democratic En-
ecutive Committee, whose official eN-
istence Chairman Irby recognizes, has
called a convention OF the Democracy
OF Charleston to meet on the 3Oth in
stant. Under this call the Democratic
books of registration was opened to-
day for revision. The registration was
much larger than usual. The Reform
party have called a convention to meet
on May 4th and have advised their ad-
herents not to take part in the CONVEX
ton on April 3Oth. Both sides claim
TO have majority of the registered
vote "f the city. 1t is understood that
the ringsters, who have Democratic
clubs organized in most Of the wards,
Will take part il the May Convention
by sending delegates. The probability
is that there Wilt he a big family row.
1t is rumored tonight that State
Senator Buist will issue call for
meeting of the Council of Safety, COM
posed OF the most prominent members
of the party in Charleston, the object Of
the meeting being to heal the breaches
in the party. There are rumors to
the effect that a number Of new cam
didates for the mayoralty will be
brought into the field. One Of the most
significant rumors states that well
organized movement has been started
which has for its basis the opposition
of any candidate who may be of the
Roman Catholic faith.

Senator Irby of South Carolina is
a member of the Alliance, but he will
vote with the Democrats. He wouldn't
vote for his brother for anything if he
were not a Democrat. This rule will
hold all through South Carolina, and,
| believe in Georgia and elsewhere in
the South. The Alliance will not break
from the two great parties. 1t will
grow and be Of great advantage to It's
members. AS between two candidates
in the same porty, one an Allianceman
and the other not, it would support its
own man probably but that is the ex-
tent to which it will go into politics.
Its members are Democrats from neces-
sity. The Kansas Alliance is differ

INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE FOR WOMEN.

INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE FOR WOMEN.
The Herald and News some time ago
spoke of the industrial college for
women, to be established at some point
in South Carolina, and called at
tention to the circular issued by the
commission appointed by Gcv. Till
man to make investigation and report
to the Legislature. In this circular, if
we remember correctly, propositions
from towns and cities desiring this
school were invited. We suggested
that Newberry put in a bid, but so far
as we have heard that suggestion fell
flat without even a comment.
Well, it will be quite an addition to
any town to secure this school, and to
obtain it is worth making an effort,
and even more, it is worth paying
some money, and so far as we can
see, Newberry has as many natural
advantages as any other town. We
are centrally located, good climate,
healthy, with good railroad facilities,
and there is no reason why We should
not have the school, except our inert
ness and inactivity and the unwilling
ness of those who have the means TO
contribute something to obtain it.
Newberry gave about $4,000 to
secure Newberry College and nobody
can be found who regrets it or who
will gainsay the wisdom of the invest
ment. It was q good investment and
has paid the town we'll. Why would
not an investment to obtain this in
dustrial college for women pay equally
as well?

The Awful Fate of Little Boy in Atlanta

ATLANTA, GA, April 27.-The three
year-oId son Of William Bennett, a
prominent citizen, met horrible death,
being burned to a crisp before his mo-
Tiers eyes. Mrs. Bennett was sitting
on the front verandah, her little boy
trotting around on the verandah and
about the house. In his play the child
got hold of box of matches, and,
lighting one, deliberately set fire to his
clothing. AS it blaZed he cried out in
childish glee, but minute later, scared
10y the blaze, he ran screaming toward
his mother. When he reached her he
was entirely enveloped in flames.
Quickly ss possible these were eXtin-
guisheh, but too late to save the boys
life. His flesh WAS baked, and he died
in few hours.
