CT. Caughman and B. F. Perry, of
the reform movement, have lit out OF
that grand movement and are now
pronounced Butler men. Some of our
esteemed contemporaries are disposed to
be facetious about the conversion OF
these two greet apostles Of reform.
Well, The Herald and News has never
had a very high admiration for either
ofthe gentlemen in question, but how
in the world can the conservatives eve,
expect to win, unless they receive re-
cruits from somewhere: We tried it
for two years and the Tillmanites out
voted US on both occasions, and if We
expect to beat them the next time we
must get some more votes. But as to
these two recruits, they are only COM
ing over because they think there is
more hope Of Federal Office by so doing.
Their plan evidently is to fall on the
tree that has the fruit.

GETTING READY.

Everything is being put il readiness
for the great liquor business in which
the State is to engage after July l..
And in the meantime the liquor men
are getting ready 10 test the new law
before the courts.
On last Tuesday the Governor ap-
pointed the new State Dispenser. The
fortunate, or unfortunate man, ac-
eordingly as you look at it, is Mr..
D. II. Traxler, of Timmonsville, in
Darlington County. He is native OF
Charleston County and has been a
depot agent for several years, and also
q merchant, and at one time Treasurer
of Darlington County. He is said to
be first-rate man, and nc doubt will
make an efficient official.
The new law makes quite number
Of new officers, but then it is expected
that the profits from the liquor busi-
ness will not only pay them, but will
also turn good little snug sum into
the State Treasury. If this business
is successful, there is no reason why
the State should not engage in the
general merchandise business, and also
in farming and milling, and then may
be We would reach the dream of Ed
wsrd Bcllamy, when the governmel;
will attend to everything and every
body will have a government Office
and after few years of faithful ser.
vice be retired on a pension. That
will be a glorious time. Everybody
wants Office, and the few exceptions
only prove the rule.
But the Prohibitionists say they
want the new law rigidly enforced,
and if it is done the profits from the
business will not be large.
If it is to go into effect, as it is, Of
course it should be observed, and if ii
prove good and wise law, We shall
be glad to, and will, most heartily
commend it. It has created good
deal of curiosity. People from all Sec
>tions of the country are making in
euiries about it and are anxious &c
know its practical results after put in
operation.

Senator Irby has secured an ap-
pointment for ex-Judge c. P. Town
send in the Treasury Department at
Washington. Judge Townsend is q
Republican and was a Judge during
the radical rule in this State. It is
said that probably the appointment
will be withdrawn. 1t does look to US
that Senator Irby could have found a
Democrat upon whom to bestow bis
favors. But we must remember these
are record breaking times and We
never know what to expect next.

Gov. Tillman has resoited the sen
fence Of Wade Haines, the negro who
was charged with the murder of Miss
Hornsby near Columbia some time ago.
1t is the opinion Of many people in and
around Columbia that the boy is inno-
cent. Tie respite is only for thirty
days. We are Of the opinion from
all we have been able to hear that the
boy is not guilty.

Senator Irby is reported to have said

Senator Irby is reported to have said
that he would oppose the confirmation
by the Senate of Mr.. Gonzales, if be
should be appointed to any foreign
mission. He also is reported to have
said that he would favor Mr.. Gonzales
rs minister to Hades, or words to that
effect. This is too bad. Our Senator
must have thought that he was still in
South Carolina, conducting a Tillman
campaign. He certainly made use OF
this languagein an unguarded moment.
We had hoped that Senator Irby would
in some measure, at least, rise 10 the
dignity of the position given him, but
it seems that our hopes are to be in
vain. He that bridleth his tongue is
greater than an army with banners.
IF Mr.. Ganzales is incompetent, then
Mr.. 1rby should try to keep the Presi-
dent from appointing him, but that
does not seem to be the ground for the
opposition Of Mr.. Irby.
The Herald and News hopes Mr..
Gonzales will get an appointment, for
we believe he semminently fitted.

We are glad the citizens have taken

way to celebrate the event.
