Misses Victoria GrnSsoif and jamie

adjoining communities returned to
their home at Fredcnia last week.
Some fertilizers are being hauled by
cur farmers but principally for corn as
orr people G0wu here will make al
effort to raise good crop Of corn now
rather than an over dose Of six cents
cotton. GC course the farmers will nave
to plant soEic cotton in order 10 make
ends nee; Or they will never tie the
knot hut let that knot be- as small as
possible.
Now that She Columbia Newber-y
and Laurcns Railroad is il good cen
dition FOR holding up the iron horse
would it not pay the company to put
on regular passenger train? We don't
propose 20 be a railroad manager but
it does seem to Us that this line ought
to run az early passenger train from
Columbia 10 Clinton aid return eacA
dav. As it is we have 10 early train
from Columbia ard such q schedule
would certainly pay the {. y. and J..
road a handsome sun. We would like
TO see such i schedule put in eI:ect on
this road.
We have 10 objection 20 Mr.. John
G. Sheppard becoming Governo: Of
South Carolina II he shnnil be the
choice Of the people. We have A-Hrd
Mr.. Sheppard highly spoken Of and no
doubt would he the right man to ill
the position. The people should con-
slider well what they want and the!
elect good honest men to Ctfice and
Tot men that will promise one thing

Let Us have peace and goodwill
amongst the people and good honest
men in Office is the desire Of SIGMA.

THE STATE WINS TIE cOOsAW CASE
Opinion uf III" Supreme Court OF the United
States Affirming the Judgment OF
the Circuit Court.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The Su-
preme Court Of the United States to-
day affirmed tie judgment OF the Cir
cult Court Of the United States for the
district of South Caroiiua in favor OF
the State of South Carolina in lis suit
against the Coosaw Mining Company.
This is case of great Importance u
the State, and Involves its rightto con
troll the phosphate beds i'll Coosaw
River, which are exceedingly valuable.
The Coosaw Mining Company clalmed
that in 1876 the Legislature of South
Carolina made contract comforting Oh
it perpetual grant to the exclusive
nliuing of the phosphate rock and
phosphate deposits in Coosaw River.
The State contended that by lis act the
Legislature had granted the Coosaw
Company exclusive rights for only :.
limited period, namely, until the eXpi-
ration of tHenty-one years fixed III
1870, when the Company was given
the right (but not the exclusive right
TO mlne phosphate. This period eN-
pired in 1891.
The Court to-day, in an opinion bv
Justice Harlan, holds that the Act OF
1876 did not give the Coosaw C"!npan
q perpetual and exclusive grant, hut
merely an exclusive grant tor tile bal
ance of the twenty-one years covered
by the original contract OF 1870.

Mr.. H. c. Summers went to Pendlc-

Section-master Byrd has taken po-

Mr.. i. II. Maynard died last Thurs
day afternoon, March 81, 1892, in the
18th year Of his age He was native
of Edgetield County but had lived in
this village for a number Of years. He
had been in declining health for some
time but his fatal illness was of COM
paratively short duration. Before the
war he had ample means and devoted
much of his tlnie to reading. He was
well Informed man and Of retiring and
unobtrusive manner. Peace to his
names.
Can we rot have an infant class or a
school for younger pupils in the vii
iage? There is quite a number Of little
children here, large enough he at
school and vet too small to go unat-
tended TO Newberry, and who should
by all means be taught by some one.
There have been good schools here in the
past and there should be one now. The
field is inviting. Several years ago a
young lady teacher carried her school
through several successive school terms
and uHtil it reached the rise Of sixty
pupils. Some who were not particularly
or specially interested in the school,
wanted high school. It did well for
while, bat gradually declined. OF late
there have been four or five exception
ally good young lady teachers who
have had the school but for season
each. Why is this? Is it for the want
Of unity or cooperation? To the earn
est, conscientious, pains-taking instruc-
TOR, teaching is by no means compara-
b!e to u pleasant walk over bed Of
roses. The self.denying teacher, who
seeks the moral and spiritual as well as
the intellectual good of the children,
should have the unstinled sympathy
and support Of trustees, parents and
guardians alike in home training and
i'm the maintenance Of school discipline.
The young ladies who have had charge
of the Helena School were very
worthy successors of each other and
their work was meritorous. WedD hope
that the all-impcrtant and immortal
work o' careful culture among the
dear children may not be delayed or
hindered but helped By Us all.

THE SOMETHING BETTER.
Secret Caucus of Alliance, Congressmen to
Formulate Plan For Relief.
Especial to Atlanta Journal.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The allan
cemen of the house held Il secret caucus
last evening. None but alliancemen
were admitted, and all were pledged to
the strictest secrecy. They discussed
the fate of silver and general financial
legislation. The definite action of the
meeting was il agreeing upon bill for
the financial relief of the people.
The bill is a companion to the sub
treasury idea. 1t provides that the gov
ernment shall issue thirty dollars per
capita in legal tender notes, redeemab!e
in coin to the separate estates upon state
bonds or such other securities as the
government may demand, the states,
in their own way, to issue this money
to the people upon satisfactory security.
It is supposed that in Georgia the loan
would be based on cotton; in Pennsyl-
vania, on pig iron; in Maryland, on
oysters, etc.

THE GREAT KANSAS STORM.
Fou. Towns Destroyed, a Dozen Others
Badly Injured and Fifty Lives Lost.

KANSAS City, Mo. April 3.-Haif a
hundred names compose the list of
those killed in Kansas by the cyclone
of last Thursday, and still the death
roll is incomplete. The details of the
disaster so far rs it affected the towns of
the stricken section are now believed
to be complete, but many of the casual
ties in the country regions are still un-
recorded.
Four towns are wiped from the face
of the earth, and dozen or so others
were more or less damaged. The loca-
tions of New Haven, Tonawanda,
Augusta and Smolan are now marked
only by wreckage and piles Of splin-
tered timber, which before composed
the house of the towns. OF fifty dead,
twenty-seveE were killed outright. The
remaining twenty-three are those who
were fatally injured, and who have
since died.

Supporters Of the peace and unity

this campaign is to be decent one.
Let Others tear around and throw dirt
and make nasty appeals to unworthy
prciuGices as much as they like. We
are appealing to the people-the vot-
ing, thinking, respectable people. They
have an instructive understanding OF
the DroDrieties and an instructive re-
sentiment of blackguardism and can be
trusted to resent the insults to their
common sense and intelligence being
sent broadcast from Columb mbia.--Green-
vile News.
The Herald and News has decided
long ago to pursue tie even tenor OF
its way, and tell the truth as it sees
it, and not to rip and tear around about
anything. We shall tell the people
what we think is.right and proper, and
give our opponents a fair hearing. If
the people desire again to ride the
wave of abuse and Misrepresentation
we shall warn them against any such
course, and endeavor to point out to
them the right way, by common sense
and reason, but if they choose not to
pursue that way we are not going to
rip around about it in the least. The
Herald and News will have discharged
its du:y as an honest journal, and we
have hopes that the people will not
continue to be blinded by prejudice
and driven along by abuse and led by
cranks. We believe they will listen to
reason and that they will measure men
this year by proper st andard.
