One Of the speakers at Ridge Road
said that the responsibility for the
failure OF Clemson College to open
rested upon the Board of Trustees,
and that they were also responsible
for the ele 'tion OF . faculty. This
is a bran new idea. How they
could finish it without money was not
explained. Gov. Tillman who is also
member Of the Board should take a
note of this. The speaker also gave as
an excuse for the failure of the Legis-
lature to make the appropriation that
it was advocated by Jno. G. Haskell.
ztA4eetegislature was too smart to be
caught in any such trap as that. If
the appropriation had been made,
those opposed to Tillman would have
used it in the campaign. Another
bright idea, and an excellent excIse
for not doing what ought to have been
done. There is entirely too much pol
icy and what is meant to be prac ical
politics mixed up with what passes in
this day for craftsmanship. But the
people seemed to be satisfied, and if
they are we can assure them we are.
If Clemson College is needed it is
needed now and ought to have been
finished or never undertaken.

Congressman Tom Watson Of Geor.
gia has written book. We have not
seen it, but it seems to be a bitter ar.
raignment of the two old parties and
of Congressman in particular. He
says members of Congress have been
seen reeling in drunkenness on the
floor of the House and while discussing
the gravest issues affecting the welfare
of the country. This caused quite q
ripple of excitement last week in Con-
gress and a committee was appointed
to investigate the charges.
The Augusta Chronicle says that
Mr.. Watson is happy it matters not
what the committee may find. He
has gained little notoriety which
highly delights him.
We suppose men should not drink
whiskey. Certainly they should not
get drunk. AT the same time the fact
remains that it has been a failing or
weakness of some of the greatest men
the world has ever known, at times to
take stimulant and sometimes to
take more than they should. We have
DO apology or excuse to offer for them,
but our politics is entirely too per-
sonal.
But if Mr.. Watson is happy we sup
pose the country is safe and maybe the
the Third party will take on boom.

PICNIC AT POMARIA.
a Delightful and Enjoyable Occasion.

PoMARIA, July 27.-For a long
have we anticipated this day. A 8
picnic at this place has been schet
for weeks and to-day the most san
were most agreeably surprised
maria has always been noted
hospitality but to-day it surpassed
self. Out of the very large crowd that
assembled a goodly per cent were
strangers to the community-invlted
cuests. For these it may be SAID that
thew never enjoyed a picnic better "in
all their born days"
The most CONSPICUOUS Of the well
comers was Col. Holloway. he saw
every lady on the ground and parhaps
every gentleman too.
We did not meet in the grove down
in the town but up at the schoo'
house (BetheD. But few people are
aware that it i. the grandest place fol
such occasion in the county. Ihe
mighty oaks and the picturesque sur
roundings makes it a lovely old place
Too, we can almost call this an his
torical place. No school in the county
has prepared more young men for col
lege than has this one. Ts'e good Worh
is still carried on under he direct ST.
pervision of Mr.. Robert Welch.
While the day flew, the sun had al
most set and still the concord o
sweet sounds" always accompanied BY
dainty feet never ceased.
Many that they were. we dare say
that there was not one soul that die
not enjoy the day. Every heart wen
home with the regret that the 9th o
July was 50 short. w. A. 5.

The big cock-and-bull-story published
in The State about two weeks sgo
charging that DR.. Pope and Mr.. Sigh
were third partyites, and giving an
affidavit to that effect from one Mr..
Lester, turns out to lie false, and the
correspondent who wrote it to The
State has had to correct it in his own
paper, the Newberry Herald and News.
Somebody was imposed upon in that
affidavit.-Pee Dee Index.
You are entirely wrong. The Herald
and News published The affidavit of
Mr.. Lester and all the other statements
in connection Herewith, and stated
that it did not believe Messrs. Sigh
and Pope had any intention of joining
the Third Party. The editor of The
Herald and News is not the correspon-
dent who sent The affidavit tn The
State and it was not sent from New
berry. The Herald and News stands
by what it said in the matter and the
Index might as we'll tell the truth.

THE POLL TAX

The Tilimanites say the Ants are
making great blow against the s3 poll
tax, all to no purpose-that Tiilman
cannot pass it. Is not that brave
answer? If Tillman cannot have il
passed why is he advocating it to pro.
cure votes? He is either Ignorant OF
his own ability or he is advocating it
for mere political purposes. We are
obliged to bust his bubbles as he blows
them up.-Pickens Sentinel.
And every one who wants to, knows
that to pass it requires an amendment
to the constitution, but is it not one OF
the planks or demands of the Til!man
faction to have constitutional conven-
ton and the s. poll tax and many
other things can be done if such con-
vertion is ordered. Why does Mr..
Tilllnan advocate his 8 poll tax if be
knows he cannot enforce it? Is he
only "blowing"?

The Tillmun cause is certainly get
ting weak in Newberry. The friends
of the Governor are making snch ex-
travagant claims aud the false reports
that have been put out, all show that
they are getting desperate. All that
we have to say is that We want the
people to vote as their honest and con-
scientious convictions may dictate and
all will he well. Weigh the situation
as honest and intelligent men, and
then vote, realizing tie responsibility

Voter" writing to the Edgefeld
Chronicle from Poverty Hill, Edge
field County says:
"jf any one in Meriwether Township
or Edgefeld County thinks Ex-Gov.
Jno. {. Sheppard cannot carry Gov.
Tillman's home club, let him come
along with the money. The Conserva-
tives have been trying to get up q bet
upon-tbis for the last six weeks, but
have failed so far. The Conservative
money is ready for the shareholders. !"
Here is an opportunity for some ar
dent admirer Of Gov. Tillman. No
doubt there are good reasons why the
Governor cannot carry his own club
right among his neighbors.

Did you know that the National
Bank Of Newbcrry loans annually to
the farmers Of this county about $685.
900? Did you know that that was
about 50 per cent. of the total loans it
made? Suppose you were to abolish
this bank as some of your speakers and
leaders tell you it should be abolished,
where would you get your money to
make the crop? From the sub-treas-
ury or that "something better"? With
the sub-treasury you would have tc
have your crop to put in there before
you could get the money. You had

good or bad, when we get that "some

We cannot understand why intelli-
gent, sensible people should become so
excited over the election of any man
or set of men, especially when they
will receive no practical benefit. But
they say it is not the men, but the
movement. That is what the leaders
say and it is to their interest of course
to make the people believe it, because
if they can keep the people believing
it they can keep their good fat places.
Will some one please tell us what the
movement has done for the people, as
represented by the State Administra-
for the past two years?

We understand that Rev. Mr.. Sigh
in his speech at Slighs told the people
that they must not vote for Messrs.
Wilson and Johnstone. We suppose
of course that the people will obey the
orders emanating from such a source.
Of course Gov. Tillman has not vet
liberated the people; they are still in
bondage, and like good. obedient little
children, must do as they are told by
their (not bosses, of course not,) but
their leaders. The people themselves
must decide whether they are "free,
white and twenty-one."
At Newberry, yesterday, iu his
speech: we are informed Mr.. Sigh said
that every tub must stand on its OWL
bottom. That is right and we are glac
Mr.. Sigh sees it that way now.

DR.. Pope in his speech at the factory
on Saturday night among other things
said, after paying a high tribute to
Col. Orr as an honest, upright man,
that his only objection to him was that
he was president of factory. Is it posi-
BILE that because man has SO lived
that his neighbors have confidence in
his uprightness of character and his
ability as to put him at the head of a
large business-that for this reason be
must be ostracized politically? Do the
people want to put in charge of the
affairs Of the government men who
have failed at their own business? 4?
We thought it was to a mans credit
that he could obtain and retain the
confidence of his neighbors. These are
strange times truly.

''The above shows that the taxes

''The above shows that the taxes
levied by the Tillman administration
hayeasheen larger than those of any
pfgsious year during the rule of the
Democratic party since 1876, except
sl8S4-s5, when an extra levy was made
to pay accumulated interest on the pub
lie debt.
'sLet us make another comparison.
s'rhe totals of taxes, State, county
and school, levied under Tillmau's ad-
ministration for 1890-91, were 81, $685.

The above extract and table are
taken from The State.
As to salaries there was a bill on the
Senate calendar, as special order look
ing to reduction, brought ever from
the last session and it remained there
until the close, despite several efforts to
have it come up until it was finally in-
definitely postponed. Now The Herald
aad News has never believed there was
much room for reduction Of salaries,
but it was one of the hobbies upon
which the campaign was run, and it is
only mentioned as au evidence of how
the promises of the campaign were
kept.
There was one promise, however, that
seems to have been kept. The basis
and ground work of the movement was
the plea for an agricultural college. The
people were told it would not cost them
anything, and when it was seen neces
sary to have SG5, 900 to finish the college
and put it in operation, it was no
given because some campaign orator:
had told the people it would not cos
them anything. Work was stopped
professors were out Of a job, and you
college stands to-day unfinished and il
such condition as will lose you money
it matters not what action is taken i.

Why should the people be told tina
the towns, and the banks and the fac
tories are all against the country? W
can scarcely get our consent to bel;ev
that any sensible man believes an.
such thing. Why should they b
against the people who live in th
country? Why not ask youself som

Now listen! What good can it do to

were promised if they were elected.
Let these be discussed and analyZed
and if the people are satisfied let them
vote for Mr. Tillman and his ticket, but
let it be done without bitterness and
without personality.

THE VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.

Three years ago Union County New
Jersey, bonded itself to the amount ol
100000 for improving the roads. They
have been completed, and are an OBJ
ject lesson to the entire country. AS 8
result, building and farming estates
have advanced in value from 25 to 1Ot
per cent. along the line of the improved
roads. Might we not learn valuable
lesson from this in South Carolina
where our roads are kept in such de-
plorable condition?-Ex.
How would it do to talk about good
roads awhile anyway? Here is one
county that spent 100000 to improve
the public roads. AS a result of the
work the farming lands have greatly
increased in valne, and no doubt the
people are satisfied and pleased that
they spent the money as they did.
How would the people of Newberry
County like to spend some money on
making good roads, At this season OF
the year our roads are generally very
good, but in the winter when we need
good roads. in some cases they become
almost impossible. It is really very
important question and one that ought
to receive more attention than it really
does. 1t would be economy for the
farmers to spend money or to be taxed
along with other people in order to Sc
cure good roads. The farmers use the
roads more than any other people, and
the saving 10 them in horse power,
wear and tear of vehicles, to say moth.
ing Of the time and inconvenience,
would be very great indeed.
Let our statesmen devise some plan
to give US better roads.

LET Us REASON TOGETHER.

There are some PERSONS who say that
the people will hot listen to reason.
The Herald and News will not believe
any such thing. We believe that cur
people are open to reason. We believe
that it is their purpose to do right. We
have no quarrel with any man who
does not think just as we do. We do
not believe that any man or any set of
men can fool any great portion Of the
people for any great length Of time.
We do not believe that appeals to
passion and prejudice can hold sway
very long. Our people will see that
such appeals can accomplish nothing
but harm to them and injury to the
welfare ofour common country. It was
not a great time since that prominent
leader in the Tillman faction in this

TEE ALABAMA ELECTION.
Jones, the Regular Dem ocratic Candidate
for Governor, Beats Kolb, the ALI
ance Nominee, Out of his Boots.

MOBILE, Ala, August $50 far as
known at this hour, s D. m., the elec.
tion throughout the State has been a
| very quiet one, though great interest
was manifested. A novel feature was
that in many places colored voters
turned out and not only voted but
worked like beavers for Jones and the
straight Democratic ticket and aided
materially in piling up large majorities
for the Democratic party.
The Register has received bulletins
from thirty-eight of the sixty-six coun-
ties in the Safe, which show hand
some majorities for Jones, except in
Hall County. The indications arc that
Jones has carried Montgomery This
home) County by 5000, Bullock by
1000, and Talladoga by 500. In Bar
bour County Jones received four out of
every five votes polled. Evidences thus
far are that the straightout Democracy
has carried the day, though there is no
doubt that Kolb has carried few of
the remote counties.
THE GOOD NEWS CONFIRMED.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, August L.
Later returns carry out the first 'indi.
cations. This city gives Governor
Jones 2,S4S majority. and the county
will give at least 5000. The counties
Of Mobile, Calhoun. Jefferson, Mont
gomery, Dade. Dallas, Russell, Bar
bour, Sumter, Bullock, Talladega Wal
ker, Lauderdale, Perry, Lowndes. Will
cox and Marengo show nearly $4,000
majority for the Democratic ticket.
The indications are that not over fif-
teen out of siXty-six counties in the
State will give Kolb majority, aud
not one of them will exceed 900. The
Legislature will be overwhelmingly
straight Democratic.
Negroes everywhere refused to follow
the kolb banner, and voted in great
numbers the open Democratic tickets.
In many cases they were active work
ers at the polls. This was especially
the case in this city. The expectation
was that tie opposition vote would be
the largest in years, but the results dc
not show that this expectation was re-
allied. A conservative estimate places
Governor Jones's majority at not les:
than $4,000.
