THE wHASG DOODLE MoURNs." :"

Such is the headline used by The
Newb berry Herald and News to an ac-
count of some Alliance meetings, that
were addressed by DR.. Pope, Col. keitt
and Lecturer Jetferies.
AS Col. Watson said, Now how do
you like that, sonny?" that is to say,
you Alliance people of Newberry.-
Cotton Plant.
The headline was simply aquotation
from what was said in the account of
the meeting, and quotation marks were
placed around it to show that it was a
quotation. The headline was intended
to convey an idea of what the article
contained. The article was written
by farmer and a member of the ALI
ance. The Herald and News was not
present at the speaking. We have no
excuse or apology for using the head
line in the sense in which it was used
by us. We only refer to it here and
quote the Cotton Plant to show the
baseness and the littleness of the Cotton
Plant in making the insinuations con-
tanned in the quotation above. 1t is
an effort to injure The Herald, and
News in the estimation Of the good
people of Newbtrry County. Honor
able journalism ought to be pitched
upon higher plane.
The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1891-10-01

We would like to ask Mr.. Wolfe, the
associate editor of the Cotton Plant,
what he calls his recent article in the
State. Is it an argument on the tinan-
cial question, su5-treasury, land loan
scheme, or the Ocala platform or all COM
bined. Or yet further, is it merely
TRADE of personal abuse with long list
ofugly epithets and inelegant diction,
and are these by deduction by logical
process" to take the place of solid ar
gument. We have nothing to do with
Mr.. Wolfe's quarrel with Mr.. Duncan
and the News and Courier, only we
have been frequently told by the Cot
ton Plant and the leaders of the Alli-
ance that all the abuse, personal and
otherwise, came from what some of
them please to term the opposition
press and those who oppose the de-
mands, and we are told this has been
offered in place Of argument. This is
the reason we inquire what Mr.. Wolfe
calls his production in the State. We
only want information.

SHOT DOWN BY A NEGRO.
Mayor HenneInan, OF SpartanburS, Meet'
Death at Black Brute's Hands.

SpARTASBURG, S. c., Sept. 2S.-This
little CITY vas the scene of a fearful
tragedy at o'clock Sunday evening.
J. a. Henneman, mayor, was shot
down without a moments warning,
and the brutal murderer is now in nJall
in momentary expectancy Of being
lynched.
A burly negro by the name Of John
Williams was making disturbance at
home with his wife. Cries of all sorts
were heard coming from that direction
when Mayor Henneman went to the
house to find out the cause. He arrested
Williams, and was trying to prevent his
escape until the police came to his assist
ance. Williams succeeded in pushing
Henneman out the door, and while ne
was falling, shot him in the back, kill
ing him instantly.
TO say the town is excited does not
begin to express it. Groups Of excited
men gathered all over the city, talking
of this fearful outrage. Last night the
Jail was surrounded by bowling mob
that needs only leader to procure the
prisoner. -,
The iail tonight is so we'll guarded
that the mob could not get at the ne
gro, but threats of lynching ale still
being made.
Mayor Henneman is the same man
who some time ago prevented a mob
from lynching Murderer Turner, an in-
f1uential farmer, who killed his brother
in-law.
Mayor Henneman, on this occasion,
mounted a cannon which the mob had
placed near the Jail, and with pistol
in his hand, shouted that he would kill
the first person who approached the
Jail. BY his GOODNESS he saved the
murderer,

LET us HAVE 1T.

The Herald. and News desires to say
in reply to the structures of the Cotton
Plant, that it has always been an ex-
ceedingly modest newspaper; that it
never promised TO discuss the subtreas-
ury plan with the Cotton Plant; that
it does not assume to know great deal
about the great financial questions, but
that it believes it knows as much as
some people who are discussing these
questions. The extent of our promise
to discuss this subtreasury plan was in
asking the Cotton Plant to give US a
plain statement as TO how this great
scheme, if enacted into law, would
benefit the farmer in its practical oper-
ations. If that statement has ever
been given we have failed 20 see it..
We do remember that the,Cotton Plant
on one occasion submitted some ques-
tions. That was not what we asked
for and it was not what we expected
of the Cotton Plant. If an explana
ton of DR.. Stokes Greenwood speech
has ever been made we have never
seen it.
Further, if that statement is given
we will publish it of course, and with
out headlines at all, if the Cotton Plant
prefers. It is a rule of this office,
that when an article is criticized in
the editorial columns to givethe article
in full, so that the reader may decide
for himself. That is fair is it not? Does
the Cotton Plant do the same? The
Cotton Plant has frequently criticized
The Herald and News, but if it has
ever given more than an extract of
what The Herald and News has said
we have failed to see it. But then the
Cotton Plant does not "claim to be
fair" -
We would not have asked for
the plain statement five had not
intended to fPa 55Htish it. We will also
'gfve you our opinion Of the statement.
We have been wanting information
and asked for the statement in gead
...itb. Let it come and we promise
you to publish it without prejudicial
headlines.

"H' furnishes US another article

appearance. This ore is still more
mysterious. We confess to our ina
bility to understand it. You may read
it for yourself.

We presume that is more poetic.
Last week it was the "bailiwicb Of
inutilitarian repose."
There is too much "baiIiwick" about
all this thing for the comprehension
Of The Herald and News. It may have
some reference to the sub-treasury plan
or the Ocala platform. Or still it may
have some reference to The Herald
and News, but we are unable to say
just what is meant. We presume it
will be best to say that it is a soliloquy
in blank verse on headlines.

Railroad Changes.

COLUMBIA, September 29.-There is
something going Oh now in Richmond
and Danville circles here which is of
great interest to Columbians. Super
intendent J. A. Dodsou will leave the
city tomorrow morning for Atlanta,
where be will confer with the authori-
ties there, but the result, of course,
cannot be anticipated. One of the
three matters to be considered is the
putting on an early train from Colum-
Jia for points North, the train to leave
lere say about8 A. NJ.
The people of Anderson, it is under
stood, are moving specially in the mat
ter. 1t is urged that such train will
be needed during Fair week at least,
and perhaps it may be arranged to
have an early train south to Columbia
for that period. 1t is also ir the wind
that an early train from Charleston to
meet the outgoing early train from Co.
lumbia (lfit be made permanently will
be necessity Superintendent Dod-
son was asked if he could give the de-
tails of the arrangements desired by
the people north of Columbia, but he
said that nothing worth publishing
could be obtained until after the con-
ference. The movement as stated,
however, is correct.

LOOKING FOR THE MlILENNIUM.
Colonel Keitt's Hope for the Emancipation
OF Mankind from Poverty.
1From the Greenville News.

From the Greenville News.
ENoREE PLANTATION, S. G., Sept.
q. The problem Of our age for solu-
tion is the easy creation OF wealth and
its Just distribution if mankind is to be
lifted to a higher plane Of existence.
Man is different kind of being when
pinched by want from what he is when
he is surrounded with an abundance Of
the comforts of life.
Those who live on the income from
aggregated capital created by former
generations of ancestors can have no
conception of the privations and suffer-
ings Of the many who can barely make
enough on which to subsist, borne
down by the burdens piled upo on them
by the relentless power OF money
welded with cOnsumnate skill by the
crafty. This is more and more clearly
seen each day as the world moves on
with unerring precision to the consufl.
nation Of all in all.
While some communities have gone
back more Of them have advanced in
the aggregate. The world is better to-
day than at any former period Of its
history.
We have heard all Of our lives that
the end Of the world is near at hand.
Some are even now predicting 1t. LET
not your hearts be troubled" 1t does
not mean the material world will
collapse, it means the old way Of doing
things will disappear and new and
better way will be adopted. The old
house will he torn down and a new and
more beautiful one will be erected; that
mankind will see and actas they never
acted before.
Homo devisa est, ZEN traspartcs,
animus, animoque corpus" Man is
divided into three parts, soul, mind
and body.
TO have perfect man he must be
developed to the full in all his parts.
In the first, the savage state, the cor
pus is developed. In the second and
higher state the mind-the intellectual
powers are developed.
In the third, last and highest state,
the soul, the God-like principles, are
developed when q halo Of glory sur
rounds his brow and lights up every
thing around him, infusing love, peace
and cOntentment into all. This IS the
crowning glory of man S creation. 1t
can not be achieved under present con-
ditions which force the vast majority
of mankind to devote all their time to
making \ bare subsistence for them
selves and families, leaving them no
leisure for the cultivation of the moral
and mental powers.
Let us be patient, but one and all
work with diligence for the common
good. The Eternal Father, who is all
love, passionless and changeless, will
in the fullness of time give Us the new
dispensation, and all will see and act as
they never saw and acted before.
Respectfully,
ELLISON 5. kEITT.

1t is getting pretty thick and slightly
complicated. The Alliance leaders

of money: The prohibition issue is
sprung on US in this State. Kansas
comes to the front with new alliance
formed for the purpose of securing for
women the right to vote and the wives
Of all the leaders of the other alliances
there are in it. The Peoples party is
already on deck with its demands for
an eight hour day and an increased
pension list. Now let the Second Ad
ventists, Theosophists, Spiritualists,
Nihilists and bloomers have showing
and we can get up by next year grand
flexible platform and sweep the coun-
try.-Greenville News.
This would make very broad, and
not only flexible, but elastic platform,
and might sweep the country, but The
Herald and News would like to know
where it would sweep it to.

ABOUT HEADLINES.

\ great deal has been said lately
about headlines. The Herald and
News desires to state here that it does
not write its editorial opinions in head
lines. In writing headlines our idea
Las always been to try to indicate by
them what is contained in the article
and not to express an opinion. The
opinions Of this paper may always be
found IN the editorial columns. Some
times we have used an expression con-
tained in the article and whenever
that has been done quotation marks
have always been used. If headlines
are not for the purpose of letting you
know what the article contains We
would like to know what use they
subserve.

TEN MEN TO HANG.
Literally Black Friday in South Caro-
lima Criminal Annals.-Ten Negroes
Are Convicted of Conspiracy
and Murder.

CHARLESTON, S. e., Sept. 25.-The
most death-dealing sentence in the
legal annals ofthis state except in cases
of insurrection, was passed at Laurens
to-day, ten negro men being sentenced
to be hanged for the murder of another
negro.
CONSPIRACY AND MURDER.
The charge was conspiracy and muir
der. Some months ago Jim Young,
Monroe Young, Henderson Young,
Allen Young, John Atkinson, Lige
Atkinson, John Adams, Perry Adams
and Jack Williams, all coiored, having
some cause of quarrel against Thornton
Nance, also colored, arranged plan to
take his life and carried it out success
fully. At this term of Laurens court
they were all convicted.
NEW TRIAL REFUSED.
A motion was made for new trial,
but it was refused, and Judge Hudson
sentenced the whole ten to be hanged
Oct. %, next.
At the same term of court Ike kinard,
colored, was convicted of the murder of
Lemuel G. OXner, a white man, and
was sentenced to be hanged on Oct. IS,
thus making eleven negroes sentenced
to death at these bloody assizes.
PARALLEL CASE AT ABBEvILLE IN 1873.
Special to State.
GREENVILLE. Sept. .6.-The state
ment that never in the criminal his
tory Of the State was there ever such
a wholesale conviction for murder as in
Laurens on Friday, when ten negroes
were convicted and sentenced to be
hanged, is erroneous. A parallel case
was brought to the attention of The
State correspondents to-day by ex-Judge
T. H. Cooke, who was for five years on
the bench in this State. In 1873, while
Judge Cooke was holding court in
Abbeviile, twelve negroes were con-
victed for the murder of a young white
man named Allen, whose home was
near Lowndesville. Mr.. Blythe, ofthis
city, was the solici or and the negroes
were defended by Samuel MCGOWAN,
now associate justice of the Supreme
Court. Two Of the negroes were used
as States witnesses, and on Sunday
morning the jury returned a verdict
convictlng the ten men of murder.
They were sentenced to be hanged,
along with several others who had been
convicted at the same court. Three of
the ten negroes were afterward hung
and the others were sent to the peniten-
tiary.

LET THE ISSUE BE FAIRLY JOINED

There seems to be in this State now
three factions in the Democratic party.
Those in the Alliance who want the
Ocala platform and its demands, others
who oppose these demands and still! be-
long to the Alliance, and may be
termed the Tillman men. Still another
sect, who oppose the demands OF the
Ocala platform and still oppose Till
man, and may be called the anti-IiH-
man men.
All Of fthese Belong to the Democratic
party, or claim to be Democrats.
Now the question is how to gst all
these factions together. 1t is true this
is an off year in politics, but in as
much as 50 much politics has already
been talked, and we see this division
among our people, we had as we'll start
in time to get them together.
It seems to Us that every body who
goes into the Democratic primaries
ought to be bound by the results of
those primaries. Every man in these
primaries ought to be free to express
his individual preference without re-
gard to any outside influence. Let US
have fair, square issue and let the
minority submit to the will Of the ma
iority. To illustrate, We do not think
the majority in the Alliance ought to
bind the minority in that body to be ODE
dent to and follow what the majority
of that faction may say or think zEEElzaSSss
is not meeting the issue faslfasy in the
Democratic aaiies: And the same
ME ongEt to apply to the other fac
tions. Let the issue be fairly Joined
and let ever: :u2n 60 in the Democratic
primaries un;ramneled by any out
side organization or afiliation, and ifa
majority decide that they want to
make the Ccala platform the platform
of the Democracy, why let Us submit.
Ifa majority decide against it, as we
think they will, why let the minority
likewise submit, but in any event let Us
have fair, square fight like men.
The white people IL South Carolina
must stick together There is no use
fighting each other. We all want to
see our State prosper and We all have e
common interest. Then let Us fight
this thing out like men without SANDER
and abuse.

CHARLESTON, September 29.-Satur-
day night number of Reformers from
various wards waited on Maj. John +.
Ficken and asked him to allow them
to put his name before the Reform
nominating conference for the office Of
mayor of Charleston. He asked for
time 20 consider the matter, and was
again waited upon to-day by a sub
committee of his former visitors. Maj.
Ficken consented to accept the support
of his visitors and of those they repre-
sented. Maj. Ficken is at present, and
has been for number of years, a MEM

Mr. Talbert says to the News and
Courier, that be intends to remain
with the Democratic party and fight
within the ranks for the Ocala plat
form, and if he is beaten to still remain
and submit. We think that is fair, if
Mr.. Talbert will agree to give US a
square deal and a fair fight.
The News and Courier says if the
Democratic party adopts the Ocala
platform, it will not support it. This
to The Herald and News sounds like
boiling the party unless it carries its
point. The Herald and News may be
mistaken, but our idea is that if we so
into the fight we must be bound by the
result or be considered bolter. Any
man or newspaper has right if he or
it prefers to maintain an independent
attitude, but if we go into the fight
good faith requires US to submit even if
we are beaten.

The question is constantly being
asked, and it is pertinent, if the ALI
ance does not control the party what
will it do.

will the other fellows do? Let US have
this thing fairly settled and meet the
isc1,e cnuarely.

He CERTAINLY SAID IT.

We see from the Cheraw Reporter
that the Sumter Freeman's candid
opinion is that DR.. Stokes never uttered
the words attributed to him about there
being no loss to the government even
if the man who put cotton in the ware
house did not redeem it and the gov
eminent only received $40 for the SEQ
advanced, because the other $40 would
be in circulation. The Freeman may
not believe it, because the utterance
was reported by what the freeman is
pleased to term "hostile press" but
all the same, DR.. Stokes said it in his
speech at Greenwood. The editor of
The Herald and News was present and
heard it and so reported it in our next
issue, and remarked upon the argument
that in our opinion DR.. Stokes did not
believe it himself. DR.. Stokes, in the
Cotton Plant, afterwards said, that our
report Of that meeting was fair, except
that we charged him with saying
things that be did not believe himself.
Then we asked him if he really be-
lieved that the government would lose
nothing because the money was in cir
culation, and We have asked him again,
and as yet have received no reply. DR..
Stokes certainly made the statement
and we do not believe that he will deny
i.
DR.. Stokes on that occasion, as we
understood it, discussed the plan as
outlined in the bill that they say now
is dead, and answered the objections
that had been urged against it.
