We are glad to believe that the De
mocracy is good enough for the white
people Of South Carolina. They do
not want a third party. But the
trouble is going to be that each OF the
two factious now in the State is going
to claim to represent the Democratic
party, and each is going to call the
other Independent, and all sorts OF
things. We should get together, but
instead the signs of the times indicate
that we are getting further apart.
There is needed in South Carolina a
spirit of tolerance. There is too great
a tendency among certain Of our would
beleaders to suppress the freedom OF
speech, unless that freedom puts you III
line with them and all their wild
teachings. Let US have more tolera-
ton, more regard for the opinions and
views of each other; stop thinking and
saying hard things of each other, and
questioning one another's motives;
force into retirement all leaders who
by word or action would stir up strife.
Let us remember that we are white
men and brethren, and that all true
lnen among US desire the welfare of all
tie people. Let US get together, then,
and discuss our differences, but let us
do it Ike men.

The Laurens Herald finds great
many things in the Columbia Centen-
nial to frighten it. The Herald seems
to think that it was a Hampton Cen
-tennial and gotten up to 10, NJ Hamp-
ton politically. 1t is great pity some
people can't see anything but politics.
If Brother Crews had gone to Colura-
bia and gazed upon the beautiful arch
from Laurens, and mingled with the
people there assembled, he possibly
would have had his views broadened
and he could have seen something else
besides politics.
Wade Hampton does not need any
boom, and the people who love him for
what he has done and what be is, will
continue to show him honor and re-
spect, even though the Laurens Herald
does see something in it to frighten
politicians.

BANKS AND RAILROADS.

"It is estimated that the raising of
the assessments on railroads and banks
in this State will amount to nearly
So, 100000, which if not reduced will
add about 100000 to the taxes of the
State"
The above is from the Columbia cor
respondence o: the News and Courier.
The banks and the railroads will enter
a very lively protest against such a
large increase in their assessments. 1t
would, make no difference to them if
all other property was increased IN
value in the same ratio, because then
the rate of taxation would be lower.
But it does not appear just right to in
crease these returns wien every one
knows that real estate and nearly all
personal property is returned at much
below its market value. The truth of
the matter is that it is very difficult
thing to tell just what the market va
lue of property is.
Mr.. Ellerbe says that his purpose is
to increase the assessments of all pro-
perty to its market value and he hopes
to get the Legislature at its next session
to order a reassessment of real estate
for taxation, and if it is not done then
he will recommend a rebate to the rail-
roads and banks.
But why not wait and let the re-
assessments of real estate, and the in
crease in the banks and railroads, all
come at once. There needs to be some
thing done in the matter of assess
ments and the start must be made,
but the present looks very much like
an attack on corporations to meet popu-
lar approval.
This 100000 will be needed very
likely to fill up a deficiency from
phosphate royalty, but then let this
increase all come at once, and let all the
citizens and taxpayers stand on equal
ground.

Trustees Meeting.

The school trustees Of the county will
be expected at Newberry on the End
Saturday in June. They should come
prepared to give their views on the
different questions concerning the pub
lie schools. They ought to know exact
ly the condition Of the schools under
their charge and should be ready to
tell what is headed for their improve
ment. l know that there are many
things that impair the efficiency Of our
schools in the country, but also
know that they can be made better and
more efficient if they should receive
that attention and thought that they
50 justly deserve. At the meeting in
June let us try to devise some means
to improve not the system so much,
but the proper execution Of the system.
We should not say that our schools are
doing as well as could be expected,
when there is some room yet for i'm
provement.

Governor Tillman's head is level on

Governor Tillman's head is level on
a good many things, and he generally
saws what he thinks. He is wrong,
according to The Herald and News, on
some things, but he is right on the sub
treasury scheme, and now on the third
party craze he expresses himself with
nc uncertain sound. According to the
Record he says: II am Democrat.
was born Democrat and expect to
die a Democrat. It would be idiocy as
well as suicide for the Southern people
to follow such leadership. The ultl-
matum as to the negro shows what we
may expect from any such affiliation."
State Lecturer Talbert declined to be
interviewed on the subject saying that
he had announced his platform and
that he stood squarely upon it. He eN-
poets to do a great deal of stump speak
ing on the issues of the day during the
coming summer.
Governor Tillman is right on this
question and has with him the great
majority of the white people ofsouth
Carolina.

ABOUT A SECOND TERM.

The boom against the present admin
istration for 1892 is evidently on, but 1t
goes slow.-Bamberg Advertiser.
How long has it been announced that
the present administration was IN the
race for reelection in 1892? Has 1t
come to pass that an official act Of the
present administration cannot be crltl-
,ised without it being construed into
opposition to the administration?
There are few rabid administration
sheets in South Carolina that are try
ing very hard to keep up the strife and
warfare of last summer and that twist
everything into opposition to the ad-
ministration. The candidates for 1892
have not yet been announced.
But the Bamberg Advertiser finds
several things in the Columbia centen-
NAL that it magnifes into opposition
to the administration. 1t thinks the
reunion of the Hampton Legion in Au-
gusta short time ago, and the Colum-
bia centennial were all manipulated
against second term for the present
administration, and that the proposed
reunion of Buffers Brigade tends that
way. A man can generally find what
be looks for. But if the administra-
ton has such a hold on the people as
its ardent organs claim for it, we see no
use of all this scare. The editor OF The
Herald and News happened to be in
Columbia during the whole Of the CEN
tenniaI, and he saw nothing, politl-
cally speaking, to so frighten the ad-
nlinistration. The State officers had
every attention, and those Of them
with whom we talked spoke in very
fattering terms of the success Of the
celebration.
If the present administration meets
the approval of the people, it will very
likely secure second term fit desires
it. fit does not meet that approval,
the people will very probably say so,
and there is no use for these admins
tration papers to become so frightened
at so early date.
Keep cool brethren, the summer heat
is lust beginning and there is no use
vet for you to tear your shirt.

DIR. GRIFFIN GOES OUT.

DR.. P. E. Griffin has been removed
from the Asylum, as Superintendent,
and DR.. Thompson, has been appointed
as his successor temporarily. The per-
manent successor has not yet been
named.
The Herald aud News, is of the same
opinion as expressed last week, that DR..
Griffin has not been fairly dealt with.
He ought to have been lowed to meet
the witnesses against him face to face
and hear the evidence and reply to it.
This was not done. The evidence was
taken in secret and was only an ex parte
hearing. Ii the Governor and the in
vestlgating committee wanted the facts,
and that is what they ought to have
desired, they should have heard both
sides.
Is it not fact that the investigation
by the committee as first made and the
report to the Governor, was to the
effect that they found the management
all right, and that Governor Tillman'
called the Committee together, again
and attended the investigation in per-
son, an3 the second investigation is the
oner (which the Governor depcsed
DR.. Grilin.
But DR.. Griffin is out, and it is very
important that an efficient and expert
enced man be appointed as his success
sor.

South Carolina had no representative
at Cincinnati to help in forming the
Third Party or Peoples Party. That IS
strange for We haye more things done
in South Carolina in the name of 1.-The
people, than any other State ID the

place. But the great mass of the white
people of South Carolina are satisfied

What Should.it be Ca1ledf

Considerable discussion is being car
ried on in the newspapers as to what
the "War between the States" should
be called. The State Supt. OF Educa-
insists that it be called the Estates
Rights War" This seems to me to be
a rather poor name, and to indefinite.
1t would have been state rights war
had all the Southern States remained
and fought under the same flag as the
Northern States. They did net do
this, however, but seeded from the
Union and endeavored too establish
their independence as distinct repub-
lie. 1t was then beyond doubt a war
for independence, and not so much for
states rights because the Southern
States by the act Of secession were no
longer part Of the Union and there
fore could claim no rights in the Union.
The News and Courier, then was
right when it calls the contest, "The
War for Southern Independence" It
matters not however what the war be
called in our school histories. We all
know the causes Of it, and can explain
them to the pupils.

This seems to be time and a year
for calling people names at long range
and putting these epithets in the shape
of resolutions. Newspapers that give
circulation to such mud-slinging are
not elevating to the moral tone of the
community neither are they perform
ing their duty in the higher sphere Of
journalism. If persons have personal
difficulties let them face each other

About Grammar.

A few days ago certain teacher OF
the county while discussing the worth
of English Grammar in our schools,
and the best methods Of teaching it.,
took issue with most Of our text books
whom he doubted the correctness ofthe
sentence: "Ifeel 6dd." He argued in
this way: "bad" is never used as an ad-
verb, BADLY" being the correct form.
In the sentence, does not bad tell how
Lteei: And if it tells ho,D l feel is it
not modifier Of .teeH And if it is q
modifer OF feel is il not correct?
1t seems to me that wherever the
idea Of being is most prominent in the
verb that the adjective form and not the
adverbial should be used. Suppose we
take the sentence: HE remained ST.
lent" and in place Of silent should LA

State Teachers' Association.

A circular letter has been received
from Prof. D. B. Johnson, Chairman
of the Executive Committee Of State
Teachers Association, announcing the
meeting at Anderson and stating that
entertainment has been provided.
The letter is published in full on the
first page of The Herald and News.
What better inducements could
teachers want than the ones offered?
The expenses Of the trip will be only
nominal. Only the railroad fare need
be taken into consideration. Teachers,
it is your duty to attend the Associa-
ton, and besides being duty it will
be pleasure. 1t is to be hoped that
at least twenty teachers will be at An
derson from Newberry County. Such
an opportunity may not soon be offered
again.

OUR HOME CRITICS.

.Our own arch. It was bad botch." ("
1.-The descriptive circulars
were not what they ought to have
been" "There might be other
criticisms, but they could do no good"
says the Observer about Newberry's
arch THE Centennial, and the descrip-
tue circulars printed and distributed
at the same time, and also printed in
The Herald and News last week.
The Herald and News would like to
know what good this much criticism
has done. Newberry's arch was not
elaborate, nor what it should have been,
nor what it was contemplated to be
but there is no need now of this crltl-
cism. The arch was not so terribly
bad either. AS to the descriptive cir
cular The Herald and News thinks it
was a very creditable circular, and GER
tainly compared favorably in style,
matter and general get up with those
distributed by other counties. But
then there is no "disputing about
tastes" apd some people will find fault
and complain at anything that is done.
What Newberry needs is not a spirit
of fault finding and criticism with ev-
cry effort for the advancement of the
town, but for every one to do his part
and pull together for the progress and
developement of the town.
The Observer generally says what it
thinks and The Herald and News ad-
mires this spirit, but when fault find
ing and criticism do no good what's
the use Of it. =

assix distributed inColumbia and elected

Ipting free passes from

ths fafE e! He says one object OF
the article is to- pay tribute to Con-
gresham Alexander of North Carroll
ma who was offered and declined free
pass, and the other is to inquire if any
of our Congressman or State officers are
now the recipients OF such favors from
any of the railroads. He says he will
keep column open and standing ''for
the purpose and invite our Congress
men, as we'll as members of the Legis-
lature and State officers who have re-
fused to accept free passes to send us
their names"
The Herald and News does not be-
lieve brother Stokes will have any need
to reserve column for this purpose,
for when he gets all his information in
he will find that the whole posse of
State officials are enjoying the luxury
of free pass, some Of them for them
selves and families. But what's the
use of making a fuss about it. They
all do it. But prosecute your inVesti-
CATION and you will finG that all our
State officers ride on free passes.
Now about the Congressman we
have no definite information, except
that we understand that Congressman
Johnstone has declined to accept free
pass, and this statement is made with
out his knowledge or consent. But
you will find some of these gentleman
using free passes too.
But where is the harm Mr.. Cotton
Plant? Let these gentlemen have a
good time if they want to. They are
in the thing to make out OF it all they
can and let them proceed.
Now we want the Cotton Plant to re-
member that The Herald and News is
not on the witness stand and does not
propose, at present. sa3east, to"adduce
further evidence, but we say to the
Cotton Plapt proceed with your in
vestigatis< and you will find that
most # lot all, of our State officers ride
0a6 Tee passes, and that legislators,
sfiS high 1r,zhns; r,nss - ';k.sZise But it has
always been thus and why now max
fuss about it.
By the way it might be well for tn
Cotton Plant to tell US whether tn
State Senator from Orangeburg Ccant.
is the recipient of a free pass from tn
railroads, as he wants information from
legislators as we'll as Congressmen.
