Newberry Herald and News, Conservative
The Herald and News presents
this week Governor Hampton's let
ter, in which he proposes to organize
National clubs.
The Herald.and News has a great
respect and admiration for Wade
Hampton and his opinions.
During the past several years we
have had turmoil and strife and diyi.
sion among our people. The Herald
and News has labored in seasol and
out OF season to restore harmony
and unity and peace At times it
seemed that our labors were in vain
and maybe it was. With the circum-
stances surrounding US in this State
we have dreaded to see the white
people divided. Such division
means making the negro a factor in
our politics. To avoid this we have
felt that it was better even "to en-
dure the Ills we had than to fee to
others we know nothing Of" We
had had hoped that no such move
ment would be yet awhile at least.
Consequently we are sorry that
Governor Hampton has written his
letter. It is forcing the division and
where it will end we will not under
take to say. + may have come later
on. Possibly would. Some people
hold that the party is already hope
lessly divided, but it seems to us that
it would have been better to have
waited nearer the opening. of the
campaign next year. There. msA
have been many developments

than men who kave acquired their
knowledge Of South Carolina through
history.
The eyes of other States are upon
South Carolina. If this Independent
movement in the name of Democracy
is put down the State will be saved
and her citizens covered with glory.
Fail to put it down, and the rule of
the people will be gone and desola-
ton and ruin such as was never wit
messed before will overwhelmn the
grand old State. Every man who
loves his State, whose family is dear
to him, should resist this new move
ment which will put black heels on
white necks if successful, with all
the earnestness of his nature. Put
it down.

While it is true that Co: Xor Till
man and Senator Irby and some Of
the leaders among the administration
forces are really Populists, if hold
the doctrine of the Populists
F. such, while they hold on
to the name of Democracy, yet we
cannot endorse the wisdom Of Gov
ernor Hampton's letter at this time.
The Herald and News does not en-
dorse the Populist platform and
neither has it followed any body in
that direction, nor does it intend to,
but we want to save this State to the
Democracy and in order to do so we
want the votes and the machinery in
the hands of those who claim to be
Democrats and who voted for the
Democratic nominees, and to go to
work and organize another party now
it will be hard to make the people
believe it does not SAVIOR of lnde-
pendentism, and we all know in what
bad odor Independentism is held In
this State. We do not believe that
this movement, coming at this time
and the way it does, can be success
full.
It is true that what was called q
Democratic convention last year
adopted platform that is virtually
a Populists platform. 1t is true that
many of the leaders have denounced
the Democratic administration and
are leaning very strongly towards
the Populist party. 1t is true also
that if they called themselves Pop
lists they would not have as strong
following among the people as they
have now. But will this movement
by Governor Hampton give them any
less following among the people?
We fear not.
The Herald and News believes in
a man being what he calls himself.
If he believes in the principles Of the
Populists he should 60 to that party.
If he believes in the principles set
forth in the Democratic platform he
should stand squarely on it. He
should not go masquerading around
as a Democrat and at the sametlme
be proclaiming the Populist doc
trines.
It looks sometimes, however, as if
division in this State was inevitable.
The time may be ripe now, but we
exceedingly doubt the wisdom of its
being precipitated by Governor
Hampton just now,
AS to what the results will be
much depends on what the present
Congress does. If the National
Democratic platform is carried out
we do not believe that the Populists
will have the following of a corpo-
rails guard in this State. If it is
not carried out it will be hard to tell
the results. Much depends on that.
Hence, we say again, it would have
been better to have waited awhile.
AS a matter of fact, in the politics
of this State there are at present two
extreme factions. The Herald and
News does not believe that the vel

The White Men Of South Carolina
Should Stand Together.


Prosperity Press and 4, porter, Reform.
There never was time in the his
tory of South Carolina when it was
more important for the white citizens
to stand shoulder to shoulder and
settle their differences within their
own ranks. Does any one doubt
this? Disunite the white
citizens, split their ranks, give tho
negroes the balance of power and
condition of affairs, the very thoughts
of which will fill every true heart
with horror, will be brought into ex-
istence in this State.
Think you that Wade Hampton,
the feal less soldier, the hero of '76,
could have been pursuaded to lead
movement Of this kind ere the finger
of time had weakened his faculties?
Never! He loved his people too
we'll. 1t is only when age has started
its work of decay upon body and
mind that men who think more of
political preferment than the welfare
of this State can make him their
willing tool.
White supremacy is the all import
ant question in this as well as the
other Southern States. United the
whites can maintain such supremacy
Divided whites means negro rule.
This is no time to be splitting hairs
over mans Democracy. If we
must all think exactly alike in order
to be Democrats, then we will never
have any Democratic party. Take
the recent debate in the Senate for
instance. Life long Democrats took
opposite sides in the debate.

The Jury Suited the Lawyer

A Chicago attorney, somewhat no
ted for his sharp practice, sent his
client ore day To watch the case.
Word came To him that the case was
next on the docket, and he hurried
over to find the opposing counsel al
ready beginning. In vain he looked
for his client. He was nowhere to be
seen. In vain he asked for delay,
but the couLt told hin, that the care
lessness of client would not allow
such u thing. At last he glanced into
the jury box and saw his client there.
The stupid man had thought he
heard his name called and he marched
in with the rest. The opposing coun-
sci WAS 30 anxious to hurry tho case
along that he neglected to examine
the jury. Seeing tho thing was in
his own hands, tho Chicago attorney
turned to the court. IL withdraw

Union Carpenters Demand Discharge of
n-Unionists-
CHICAGO, April EVERY man of the
800 union carpenters employed at the
Worlds fair grounds struck yesterday
afternoon because the fair officials refused
to discharge all non-union carpenters now
in the employ of the exposition company,
and to force all contractors at work on the
grounds to do the same. The exposition
officials were willing to grant the advance
from 30 to 40 cents an hour, which the men
demanded, but they declined to discrinli-
nate against any American citizen in the
matter of employment.
Violation of an Agreement.
AT the beginning of the work on the
Worlds fair an agreement was made with
all the trades, including the carpenters,
which this move boldly repudiates. Di-

enough non-union men can be secured III

the decisions rendered by Judges Kicks

Toledo was time wasted so far as affecting
a strike or boycott. and Judge Kicks Rde-
cision that men had a right to resign will
be carried out to the letter. II the boycott
already acted on by the engineers is a
criminal conspiracy against the country
then boycotts are at an end in America.
If it applies to company it applies to the
individual and all the railroad companies
which boycotted the Chicago and Alton re-
Gently by refusing to sell tickets over that
road were guilty of criminal conspiracy.

tracted a cold, was brought before
the school, so that all could hear the
dry, loud cough and know its signif-
canoe; see the thin white coating on
the tongue, and later, as the cold de-
yelopS, see the prOfuse watery ex-
pectoration and thin watery discharge
from the nose, not one Of them would
ever forget what the first symptoms
Of a cold were. The scholar should
then be given Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy freely, that all might see
that even a severe cold could be cured
In one or two days, or at least greatly
mitigated, when properly treated as
soon as the first symptoms appear.
