The GAZETTE is now the Oldest

WHAT IS THE LAW?

"Only such clubs as were IN existence
in the 18th day Of August, 1880, shall
lie recognized. Provided, however,
that two clubs in each ward in the cities
of Charleston, Columbia, Greenville
and Spartanburg may be formed
The above is from the call of State
Chairman Irby calling for the reorgan-
ization of the party.
The party constitution, Article l,
says, "Tbere shall be one or more Dem
ocratic clubs organized in each town
ship or ward.'
Article Y Of the SAME instrument
says, 1.-THE clubs recognized by the re-
spective county conventions which sent
delegates to the State Convention
which met on the 18th day Of August,
1890, shall be recognized as the only
legal clubs, provided, however, that any
county convention may permit the for
nation Of new club by two-thirds
vote of its members"
Now which is the law Of the party?
Chairman Irby says no new clubs shall
be recognized except in certain cities
Article of the constitution says there
shall be one or naore' in each township
or ward. Article Y of the constitution
says ''that any county convention mag
permit the formation of a new club OF
clubs by two-thirds vote Of its mem
bers." What is the law? VIII some

Mrs. Caroline Cook, who has been

is improving again.
We are having a few cases of chicken
pox in our quiet little c'mmuuity but
none serious.
We notice some Of those who were
so eager to bring about Prohibition, are
still laying off fence rows which is a
poor example for others to follow.
Why is this the case?
We still hear the cry Of hard times'
and scarcity of money matters. Well,
the times are rather tight we admit but
let us all pull along together smoothly
and with u reasonable portion of econ
omy we hope to soon see things
put on brighter appearance. An old
colored man told US few days ago
that he was out of money and could
find no work to do-Said he had walked
to Columbia and back "a distance of
fifty miles, in search Of work and in his
route he could find nothing to do but
could hear the same old cry of hard
times and no money" The New Year
is upon us all and the heecy staple re-
mains low in price and some do COM
plain yet we know the earth never
has refused to furnish bread sufficient
to feed the hungry: Let us not COM
plain.
Work on Mr.. J. F. Wheeler's new
dwelling near here is being pushed
rapidly along.
Last weeks Herald and News speaks
in favor of savings banks. You are
right, Mr.. Editor, and we would like
to see each little child have nickel
savings bank at home There is nothing
like impressing upon the minds of
children the habit of economy and
saving. Children often spend nickel
worthIessly because it seems to be a
small amount while if these spare
nickels were placed in the little nickel
saving bank would prove to be ofgreat
benefit in the future: Twenty nickels
will make one dollar and that amount
could soon be obtained and great deal
more. We would like to see this plan
adopted amongst the children and
older ones too. We think the invest
ment would prove to be of great bene-
fit. SIGMA.

A BRIGHT YOUNG LIFE ENDED.
Death OF Miss Clara McLenna. of the John
ston Monitor.
TSnecialtO the State I


, JOHNSTON, January 21.-The hearts
; Of this people is draped in deepest
mourning over the untimely conclu
sion of bright and promising life
| Miss Clara McLenna, distinguished
and beautiful young lady, daughter
and sister Of the editors of the Monitor
yielded up her sweet life at 8 o'clock
this morning, after a weeks illness
with grip and its consequent compiica'
tiOns.
For many years she has been associ-
ated with the Monitor, and though
only twenty years of age, she was COM
petent to manage every department OF
the paper with grace and credit. Il.
the composing room there were proba-
bly, few printers in this State who
could keep pace with her nimble fin
gers, and then even few reporters more
competent than she. In all social
events she was among the leading
spirits-ever popular and loveable,
ever bright and cheerful, even proud
and imperially beautiful. She was the
second and youngest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. y. w. McLenna.
4 favorite among young and old,
charming and witty, gifted with the
pen, Miss Clara McLenna will be
missed and her sudden taking-off will
be mourned rs few are missed and
mourned.
In consequence of her death, the
Monitor has suspended publication this
week, and will not be issued again
until Monday or Tuesday next.
This afternoon at 4:3O o'clock Miss
NcLenna's remains were LAID to rest in
Mount of Olives cemetery. Besides
her father and mother, il her immedi-
ate family, she leaves a brother and
sister-Editor ". Alvin McLenna, Of
the Monitor, and Mrs. Rev. Geo. A.
Wright, Of Newberry.

Mr.. L. NJ. Moore, of Greenwood, writes
Governor Tillman another open letter.
1t will be remembered that about one
year ago, when it was known that the
Governor was riding on free pass,
Mr.. Moore wrote him an open letter
and advised him to return it and admit
that he had done wrong in accepting
it. Mr.. Moore thinks that if the Gov
ernor had only taken bis advice then
and reformed" be would not have
been led into other temptations. But,
alas! he didn't take the advice, and
according to Mr.. Moore has fallen into
other sins. Well it is all very sad, but
no man can stand who has not sure
foundation, and no man has that who
builds by pulling down with villitica-
ton and abuse, good and honorable
men, and undertakes to stand upon
them, as it weTv.

Our good neighbor of the Abbeville
Medium has a bran new idea for re-
funding the State debt in case it cannot
be exchanged for the new four per
cent. bonds. His idea is that the peo-
pie can be taxed sufficiently to pay
them off very soon, and then there
would be no debt to worry the taxpay-
ers about. This is an original idea, and
is worthy the broad and comprehensive
craftsmanship of our esteemed contem-
porary, but we never dreamed that the
editor of the Medium would ever think
there would be any trouble in this di-
rection, especially Of sufficient impor-
tance to originate even such bright
idea as this. It is true that the bonds
are now below par, but of course our
reform" administration is in no wise
responsible for this state Of affairs.

The anniston Hot Blast advises
farmers TO buy cotton at present price:
rather than plant it. This is good ad.
vice to be sure, for they can buy il
cheaper than grow it, but it is very
much like telling man who is hungry
in the desert to eat. Very few farmers
care to speculate in cotton. They fol-
lowed Mr.. Terrill, who told them il
was bound 10 rise, and they got left
Spartanburg Herald.
The trouble with the farmers gene
rally has been the belief and advice
that corn and flour and bacon and all
the other necessaries of life could be
bought cheaper than they could be
raised on the farm. That is the reason
so many of Us are now hungry in the
desert with nothing to eat.

COL. KEITJ'S LETTER.

We publish elsewhere a communi-
cation from Col. Ellison S. keltt. we
do not propose to review Col. heltt S
article. He is rather severe in some OF
his language. The Herald and News
does not endorse that kind Of warfare.
Oneamongst many reasons for our op-
position to Mr. Tillman in 1890 was his
severe abuse and reckless criticism OF
other people. Colkeitt is no more severe
ifindeed a. severe as Mr.. Tillman was,
out that sort Of contest is not to our
way of thinking. We do not believe IN
abuse. We think Mr.. Tillman can and
will be defeated, but it cannot and Will
not be done by abuse. 1t is right and
proper o criticise his public acts and to
compare his performances with his
promises and to show that none of his
campaign promises have been carried
out. The people realize they were dis
appointed sadly in the great promises
of reform made and if let alone will
work out their own destiny. But abuse
is calculated to arouse the old preju-
dices and passions of the campaign OF
1890. But Col. Keitt writes over his own
signature and is responsible for his own
utterances. He puts the truth very
forcible in some instances.
We do not agree with him entirely a.
to parties. True, political parties--and
the success of party-shou,d not be put
above the veal of the country, but par
ties-political parties, are necessary in a
republican form Of government.

The Newberry Herald and News
asks how the Hon. J. A. Sigh of that
county would suit us as a candidate for
Governor.
We answer that We are not trying to
play the Warwick role and will wait
until ali the racers are in the field be-
fore we choose a favorite.
But if Newberry is bent upon having
a candidate why not bring out Editor
William H. Wallace, of The Observer.
-Barnwell People.
Mr.. Wallace will suit us admirably,
and if our contemporary can get him
to enter the race, The Herald and News
will support him.

.TRIr TO THE COUNTRY.
What Some of Cur Friends in EdGehe.d
Say of the Governor-ihe Churn
Man Abroad.

On Monday the editor spent the day
III Cooper township, Edgefeld County.
We had intended to write something
Of what we saw and heard while there,
but we have about concluded not to DO
so. 1t NAV seem strange to those who
know this section that we should find
ANYTHING there which would interest
the general public. Yet it is a fact that
we saw and heard several things that
impressed US very much.
We lived in this section once, not s"
many years ago, and to visit the Old
homestead was our mission on Monday.
That part was exceedingly pleasant.
This, by the way, is the twonship in
which one Of Governor Tillman's plau-
tation is. IT is known as the prairie,
and to do the Governor justice, unless
land on the prairie is worth more than
it is in other portions, he has his lands
assessed at more than their market
value.
In 1890 this was very stronghold OF
Tillmanism. In fact one OF the sub
scribe.s of The Herald aud News was
so strong in this direction that he
would not even read The Herald and
News, which was only mild type OF
nti-Tillmanism, or rather we should
say a conservative type. This same
gentlemon wanted to furnish Bro.
Bacon, of the Chronicle with crepe
when Tillman was nominated. Well,
we saw this gentleman on Monday
and had talk with him. He has
been reading The Herald and News
again for some time. He says be is no
Tillman man now, and be told us that
his conscience would never feel right
until somebody took him behind the
door and gave him a good whipping
for being so enthusiastic for Tillman in
1890, and he says that is about the SEN
timent of Cooper Township. He says
the Governor could not be elected
again to anythingin Edgefeld County.
Naturally We desired to know why.
Well, among a number of things men
toned, the most prominent seemed tc
be that free pass business and the treat
ment of the farmers about the extern
sion of the time for paying taxes. And
this was not the only man we saw or
talked with, and the sentiment among
the farmers against the Governor was
about the same. Well, this may all
change, you know, but if good con-
servative man is put up for Governor,
Mr.. Tillman Will have stumpy road
to travel to he his own successor.
We promised not to write anything
about what we heard, but there is just
one other thing that struck US as a
little queer.
The same cry Of bard times is heard
in Cooper as elsewhere in the State,
and some things we saw and heard con-
viuced US there was ground for it. Not
long ago there was in this community
an agent for a patent churn that sold
for IS each. Strange to say there were
a number of these s. churns sold in
this section. 1t is only an evidence Of
how easily our farmer friends can be
taken in.

The Cantwell case is up again. A
rehearing is asked for. A lot of excuses
are offered. If these are good excuses
for a rehearing it seems they might
have availed for a continuance when
the case came up. But no continuance
was asked for. We suspect that the
Attorney General did not see the force
and effect Of the decision at the time.

The Herald and News would be glad
to have exprrs>io:ls Of opinions from its
readers on the question Of State Prl-
mary. not an indirect vote by electlpg
delegates to a State Convention to
nominate State officers, but by the peo-
pie voting directly for these themselves
in the primaries, and not through dele
gates in q convention, as provided in
the party constitution. We agree hear
tily with our local contemporary on
this subject, and will publish express
sions of opiaivns on this question. We
thought direct vote by the people was
the thing greatly desired by the 're-
formers, but the constitution and
rules do not provide nor contemplate
any such primary. The people have a
right to be heard at the ballot box, and
if we are to have a genuine government
by the people, and not one by reform
ers" and for ''reformers" alone, then let
us have primary that is genuine
primary, which will in reality be an
expression Of the popular will. The OBJ
lection is urged that such vote would
not be fair to those counties having
large negro naorities, but then it
would give an expression of the Demo-
cratic will, which is the object of hav-
ing the primaries.
Let the people speak out and the
matter can yet be remedied. On the
other hand if the present programme
suits the people we are satisfied. The
Herald and News would prefer to see
direct vote by the people, and then we
would know in reality who were the
choice of a majority of the Democrat
Of the State.
