hibitionists are rather afraid @of the
SUPPORT offered them by the member
who led the liquor fight last year.
One of the chief points in the new
billis to make some provision to abolish
the liquor feature Of all social clubs
The leaders say that the decision OF the
Supreme Court only affects the laws
now in existence and that the new bill
will makeit Impossible for liquor to be
dispensed by any club or by anybody
else. .,..
-. The executive committee Of the pro-
hibition party, which claims that its
work has only begun, will meet here
during fair week to consider the best
bill to present to the Legislature, how to
have it introduced and to appoint
committees and do whatever other
work is necessary to secure the passage
of the prohibition bill. The chances are
that sub-executive committee will
be appointed to manage the whole
thing. ..' - =. -.
The indications are that there will be
a fight among the prohibitionists as to
the shape Of the bill to be presented,
and unless the ultra element does some
clever maneuvering there will be sew
eral bills from the prohibition side OF
the House., c:... .z9-s.'i:&:, .2i'::

cracy, they did not nominate q man,
but indorsed the candidacy of Judge
Clark. So the combat thickens. The
battle cry of the .Hogg men is, sit is
fight of the corporations against the
people," while the Clark men retaiiate,
"Hogg is running the credit and pros
perity of the State" go. .:*s,..-'
The chief; thing 7tobe regretted in
this factional fight in 3he Democracy,
if it can be so called, lis the fact that it
gives the Third party candidate, Judge
Nugent, ian excellent man, by the
way), chance of becoming governor.
This will hardly result, however, un-
less. Judge Clark. realizing that his
election is; hopeless; will, at the last
moment, throw his, vote to Nugent.
Numbers Of Clark men have already
been heard to declare that they prefer
Nugent to Hogg.- It IS to be hoped,
though, that even in this extremity,
the regular Dem oeracy will be able to
rally enough voters to her standard to
overwhelm all, opposition, whether
boilers, Third partyites' or Republicans.
If it comes to ,.the worst, however,
there is consolation, in this. fact, that
no matter who rnay-be~tAe--aext gov
ernor of the State, Texas will roll up
majority of not less than one hundred
thousand for Grover Cleveland and
tariff reform. 80
Not all the good die young out here.

which the people in these parts have
attained, yet I think: I can safely say,
in conclusion, that as q place toszive, in
my estimation, NeWberry is not sur

COLUMBIA. Oct. 26.-This morning a
leader in. the prohibition movement
was walking down Main street with a
bundle of manuscripts sufficiently
voluminous to have indicated that it
was the original copy of all the dedi-
catory addresses at Chicago. The
papers, however, were of far more i'm
port to the people of the State. The
fifty pages of copy were the ground
WORK for the new Maine liquor law that
will be attempted to be passed at the
coming session of the Legislature.
The bill is not ready to be given the
public. From all that I can under;
stand it is kind of patchwork Of the
ideas of number of the prohibition
leaders. 1t has been submitted to
several lawyers for inspection and
criticism and is now believed t" be
bombproof. The bill differs very mate
rally from the Childs scheme which
was killed in the Senate last year. The
farmers say that the bill is intended to
give the State prohibition as far as
such thing is possible. They say
that it is no milk and water scheme
and is necessarily rigid law as other
wise il would be of no use.
The radical prohibitionists are laugh
ing at the Blease bill, and say that it
would be useles to pass anyisuch bill as
that suggested by the representative
from Newberry. To be candid, the pro-

A NEWBERRIAN IN TEXAS.
An Interesting Letter About the Big
State and its Big Future, with Some
Remarks Concerning its Present
Politics.

Texas Is a right big place." is the
thought which forces itself upon per-
sons mind when, after having adj
vanced some three or four hundred
miles into this wonderful State,-won-
derful in her extent, and wonderful in
her resoulces-he realizes that he is
not yet hall way across. And he is
right. Texas is large State: With
her nearly three hundred counties,
several of them almost as large as
South Carolina, she comprises an area
whose extent can only be realized by
traversing it.
Certainly a glorious future awaits
Texas. With her diversified climate
and rich and varied soils, she bids fair
to become, IN wealth and population,
the first State Of the Union.
You can find here almost any soil;
from the very fertile "black waxy" to
the gray sand and red clay lands; from
the woodless plains and prairies, to the
timber regions. The climate too, is as
varied. In many parts the rains are
abundant and refreshing; in others
the hot breath Of the drouth scorching
up the growing crops.
There are many things which strike
the newcomer as peculiar when pass
ing through the State, but your cor
respondent will note only few which
he has observed in this section where
he is located, near the central portion,
(called, however, Western Texas,) the
home of the jack rabbit and the horned
frog.
IT has now been three weeks since
the writer has seen negro; they are
very scarce in this part of the State;
this is truly "white mans country"
In some of the counties out here ne
croes are not allowed at all. In Co.
manche, one adjoining this, there is a
sign posted, "Nigger, don't let the sun
set on you here!" aud he doesn't. 1t is
related that in that country, some
years since, negro maddened by lust
and passion, so far lost his sense as to
commit au outrage upon white wo-
man. After the people had effectually
disposed of him, they expelled the re-
naming negroes from the country and
forbade their return. A splendid way
of preventing the recurrence Of the
deed.
The ladies out here do their own
work, of course, since there is no help

Rasi1nation Of Pastor.

The members of Luther Chapel
congregation, Newberry, S. c.,
adopted unanimously on Sunday
October 23d, the following resolu-
tions:
WHEREAS, Our beloved pastor, the
Rev. w. G. Schaef1er, has rendered his
resignation of this pastorate, in order
that he may enter upon larger field OF
usefulness in the Masters service, and
has left us no alternative but to accept
it, therefore,
Resolued, l. That this severance Of
the ties that have united US as pastor
and people for FIVE years, fills Us with
deep and unfeigned regret.
2. That our earnest prayers ana ten
der solicitude for the welfare and hap
piness of him and his family will attend
them in their new home.
= 8. That We bear cheerful and loving
testimony to his gentleness and con,
stancy as friend, to his tenderness and
fidelity as a pastor, and to his zeal,
earnestness and efficiency as q conse-
Grated minister of the Gospel.

have builded and bequeathed to. US; OF
those who have champloned the truth;
and of Paul, the great lieutenant of the

ploried in naught save the Cross OF
Christ; of the sacred things upon the
altars of prayer-hallowed homes-the
tears, the offerings, the sacrifices-"fra-
grant as ointment poured forth"-"sa-

But for the ten righteous; and the
few thousands that did not bow the

another advantage in not having ne
groes.
The farmers here have no barns and
cribs, as in South Carolina, and but
very few stables. They put the oats
up in ricks near the lot; the corn is put
in pens, sheltered frequently by only a
covering of dried sorghum cane. BY
the way, that is the forage chiefly used
here by the farmers. The fodder,is
very rarely stripped from the corn
stalk, but they plant a patch of sor-
ghum cane, which, when it is almost
ripe, is cut down and put up in shocks
to cure. They say that it makes splen-
did feed for horses and cattle. Perhaps
it might be we'll for some Of those farm
ers of Newberry, who are accustomed
to buying Northern hay, to try it.
No cotton houses are used in this vi
cinity. The cotton as it is picked is
poured into a wagon, and when bale
is finished, it is carried directly to a
gin. They don't use baskets, either,
like they do in Newberry, but pick in
long sacks holding from fifty to seventy
five pounds. Some of the best cotton
pickers, it is said, sometimes pick as
much as five or six huDdred pounds
per day.
This part of Texas is a good grain
country, and also produces very good
cotton. The land in this immediate
vicinity is very fertile, but the crops
are frequently injured by lack Of
sufficient rain. On account of the
great depth and porosity of the soil,
however, they can withstand longer
drouth than in South Carolina. The
people go without a rain here for six
or eight weeks in midsummer, and
still don't call it a drouth. Some five
or six years ago this section was visited
with drouth eighteen months long.
There are no running streams in this
part of the State IN the summer time,
except the rivers. However, the wells
are not very deep. I suppose the aver
age depth is about thirty-fve feet.
Texas is one of the States which has
the separate coach system" in opera
ton, and it seems to work admirably.
I believe it to be a good thing, not
withstanding the fact that on my way

out here I had to give up a very COM
Portable reclining chair in order that
the negroes might have their separate
coach. AS for myself, though, I would
rather, at any time, occupy an ordinary
cushion seat than the finest Of parlor
chairs in too close proximity to the
"sons of Ham" Then, too, to see
delicate and refined white lady wedged
in by our not over-tidy "brother in
black" ought to be sufficient to make
every white man an advocate of the
separate coach system. There are no
second-class coaches out here-all first
class.
The political situation in this State
is very exciting, and feeling runs very
high. '..>" ...
On the 18th of this month the writer
had the pleasure of listening to speech
from Hon. Geo. Clark, one of the four
candidates for governor. It was prin-
cipally an attack upon Gov. Hogg, his
administration and the Democratic
platform adopted at Houston. OfGov.
Hogg, among other things, he said
that she was dishonest and incapable,
and his administration Inefficient;
that he had attempted torob the rail
roads, and that the result was, the peo-
pie were now under the domination OF
the radicals. He said of the platform
that the income-tax plank was frank
communism, gotten from Herr Most";
the State-banks plank Thousand
times worse than the sub-treasury
plan"; and that the free coinage OF
silver plank was miserable slush
filled with mutiny against the Demo
cratic party for whose plank on the
silver question it was substituted"
His speech was very bitter throughout.
The political situation is somewhat
mixed here. Hogg and Clark both
claim to be the Democratic nominee;
Hogg, because he was nominated by
the regular Democratic convention at
Houston; Clark, because his platform
corresponds with the national Demo
cratic platform. 49,
Before the convention met at Hous.
ton, Hogg and Clark canvassed the
State, discussing the issues before the
people. When the convention met il
was found that a large majority Of the
delegates were in favor of the renom'
ination Of Gov. Hogg. At this point
the Clark delegates bolted the conven.
ton, organized one Of their own, ano

regular convention of course nominated

Another matter which may reach
the Legislature, which is closely a!iled

a scheme will do away with much ex,
