TIE SIDEBoARD BUSINESS.
A Card from DIR. Wyrhe.

AS it is impossible to have q cam
paign this year wish to make short
statement to the voters OF NeHberry
County.
have been in sympathy with the
Farmers movement from its beginning.
Last year at the request of the Reform
ers T partially canvassed the county
for the Tillman ticket. This year be-
fore the Reformers selected their candi-
date I expressed myself as willing to
support any one they might select.
We are fighting for measures, and
not men. I be-lme the candidate Of
the Reformers without the solicitation
on my part.
This government is manipulated by,
and is run in the interests of manufac-
turers, bankers, and other corporations.
The only way for the people to get re-
lief from this unjust oppression is to
elect men to legislative positions who
are in sympathy with the mass of the
people. The Reformers of South Caro-
lima are working for the Interests of the
farmers and laboring llen, with no in
tentions to be unjust to any other legit-
mate business.
The next Senator votes for a United
States Senator to succeed NJ. G.. Butler.
If am elected I shall oppose Senator
Buffers reelection, and shall vote for
the Reform candidate for the United
States Senator.
Come to the election on June 29th,
and vote for the man Of your choice.
Your obedient servant.

The correspondent OF the News and

for Richland Comfy will not count
one man on the petition because he
has died since he signed it. # they
do not they will not act as the New
berry beard. IL was only by counting
q dead man and one who has been
citizen of another city for six months,
that dispensary could be established
in Newberry.
The Herald and News ioes not un-
derstand what that freehold voter
clause was ever put in the bill for any
way. The administration seems to be
dete rmined to establish despensaries
any way and we see no use Of going
through the farce of having applicants
secure lists or signers.
The administration surely is not hard
up for money. But it does look like
the moral question has been thrown to
the winds and that the motto now is,
''It is money we want"

If Governor Tillman and the reform
legislature, who enacted the dispen-
sary measure, really intended the thing
to be "step in the direction Of prohi-
bitiou," why do they now desire to
change the act SO as to place dispen-
saries in the reach of towns that can
not get them under the act as it
stands at present ?-Johnston Mon-
itor.
Their object seems to be revenues.
They will 10 doubt be delighted to
have the consumption Of whiskey in

more the sales aud the greater the rev.

money we must have. But then it is

DISTRICT ATTORNEY MURPHY.
A Significant Appointment for South Caro-
lioa-Senator Irby's Evil Prognosti-
cations Do Not "Specify."
Especial to The State. I

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Irby's pro-
test on Friday did the work. William
Perry Murphy was to-day appointed
District Attorney for South Carolina,
as it was predicted he would be in The
State nearly a month ago.
Senator Butler and representative
Brawley both recommended hin.
Ben Perry will come with the next
turn of the cards, despite Senator
lrby's evil prognostication. When
here last Friday the junior Senator was
told about the appointments of Darby
for Walhalla, and A. Men. Turner for
Nipety-Six, "They have not been made
YETI" he asked. ''No. but they are
promised, and will be Tomorrow" was
said by the States correspondent.
'They'll not come" said Irby. 'sDe-
pend on that. have queered them"
But they come, nevertheless, and ac-
cording to schedule.
Il IS thought Irby FASTENED the ap-
pointment of Murphy by coming on
and talking for Earle.
The State correspondent named the
FIVE important appointments month
ago. Two Of them, Harris and Muir
ply, have come. The others may be
looked for at any time.
BRAwLEY SCORES AGAIN.
Representative Brawley is putting in
some good licks. To-day he called on
the Postmaster General and recon-
mended Josiah Doar for the postofice
at Georgetown. Later in the day. the
recommendation went in to the Presi-
dent; F. J. n. Sperry, the incumbent,
was removed and Mr.. Doar appointed.

AMICABLY ADJUSTED.
How a Difficulty was Settled In Which .
Newberry Man Had . Part
THE State, 2Gth.1


Some days ago w. J. Shelton, Of the
Register, as an outcome OF a newspaper
controversy, published card in which
he charged T. II. Hunt, of the Journal,
with telling "falsehood" and "con-
cocted lie." Shelton also stated that
he was in Columbia on Sundays.
Mr.. Hunt, who was in Newberry on
Sunday, came down to Columbia to
have satisfaction. MI. Shelton did not
turn up. Yesterday morning, however,
Shelton came to the city and registered
at the Hotel Jerome. Hunt was on the
lookout for him and many expected 8
shooting match. Hunt did not meet
Shelton till late in the afternoon, when
be overlook him on the pavement near
Wright's hotel. His statement is that
he told Shelton ne must retract or fight.
Shelton said he was willing to do all
that a gentleman could do, and sug-
gested to Hunt that he send for friend
to meet one of his friends at the hotel
and talk over the matter. Mr.. John G.
Capers went in behalf of Mr.. Hunt, and
Mr.. G. r. Keoster in behalf of Shelton.
The matter was amicably arranged as
the following papers show:
COLUMBIA, S. c., 10Th June, 1898.
I take this opportunity to state that
in the recent newspaper controversy
relative to the address Of the Rev. Mr..
Watson at Florence on the 24th Of May,
that I maintain that my report Of the
entire affair was correct and that the
report given in the Journal was not in
all of its detail correct. At the same
time I recognize that in my irritation
over the matter I wrote too strongly,
and in accusing Mr.. I. b. Hunt of the
Journal of telling ''falsehood" and 8
''concocted lie," that did that gentle
man great injustice, and thst how
ever incorrect, in my opinion, his re-
port, it was not purposely false or
misleading one. Therefore retract the
strong language.
(Signed) w. J. SHELTON.
T desire to say il reference to the
Watson-Evans- -Clayton-Shelton Hunt
controversy in the papers, as to the
address of the Rev. Mr.. Watson, that I
have never said that Mr.. Shelton said
or assented to the statement, ''Make it
8 question of veracity between them,"
(meaning Messrs Watson and Evans.)
Those words were said by MI. Clayton
and not by Mr.. Shelton, and in my
card where referred to Mr.. Shelton's
companion" as having made the re-
mark, referred to Mr.. W. F. Clayton
as such, as will be seen by my card II
the Columbia Register. Nor did Mr..
Shelton urge me to agree to bis version
Of the address. LII. HUNT

WEDNESDAY, JUNE q, 1893.

In Colum bia we note that the county
boa;d of control adopt the county au-
aitor's books, while in Newberry the
town clerks books were used as the
official list of freehold voters.
The one is adopted which best suits
the purposes for which it is wanted.
The whole thing is farce any way.
Why not 60 ahead and put up liquor
shops in every town. The prohioi-
tionists favor 1t and there is no need to
consult those opposed to prohibition.
The people voted for prohibition and
in its place the State has gone into the
liquor business and wants to sell all it
can. If the majority is satisfied, the
minority has no right to even protest.
That has been the order of the day in
late years.

a socKLEss POSTMASTER.
The Odd Charges Filed Against the Incum-
bent at Dallas, n. C.
New York Press !

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Under the
general invitation Of Postmaster Gen.
eral Bissell for charges against fourth
class postmasters, which was recently
rescinded. great many odd letters
were filed. Applicants for Office
have been driven to their wits end to
invent or procure reasons for the reno
val of the incumbents, but it was left
to q North Carolinian to make the
oldest and most remarkable charges
ever filed against political opponent.
Dallas, n. G., has postmaster named
Pasour. Mr.. Pasour has been in Office
about three years, and no one has ever
objected to him before. Here is what
MIR. Pasour's opponents write about
him and what has been gravely filed at
the Post Office Department.:
He has no regard whatsoever for his
personal appearance, which in itself
makes it very disgusting to the ladies
who are compelled to call for their own
mail. he wears neither coat, vest,
socks nor shoes at this season of the
year. Neither has he any regard as to
his manner of ofconversation, being very
foul, dirty mouthed and profare."
It's suggested that Mr.. Pasour should
migrate to Kansas, where he cou!c Join
Jerry Simpsons party and not be
rendered conspicuous by not wearing
socks.

Go to the Right.

Mr.. Editor: see that Greenville has
q town law requiring all persous when
they meet to 90 to the right.
Now why can't Newberry follow
suit? 7 am sure it is good idea. We
all know what great trouble we have
in passing each other: We see every
dav from this trouble, things that make
our blood boil. am sure if the coun-
Gil will pass an ordinance to this affect
every one will be pleased. What say
you gentlemen, let's try it? I know
the ladies of this town will bless you.
Then, again, gentlemen, if a case Of
this ever comes before you, you will
have no trouble in getting at the truth,
because We all know which is right and
which is left.
We would like to see this law 60 into
effect and that pretty soon. It may
save me, and others, Of a great deal Of
trouble. CITIZEN.

GThe State. 18th.

Saturday week the dispensary law is
scheduled to 60 into effect. There are
but eleven days more for the liquor
men, if Judge Bond does not intervene
to save them with that Injunction.
Everybody is getting ready for the
grand finale, except the liquor men
themselves, and they are taking things
very quietly indeed.
The law becomes operative on a
Saturday, the hardest day in the week
to cut off the habitual drinker from his
liquor. It will hit the country drinker
hard. Then again the glorious Fourth
comes along three days later, to be
celebrated, and theaverage South Caro-
lima countrymsn and laborer thinks
whiskey is absolutely necessary to the
proper celebration Of the day.

Most Of the county boards meet to
appoint the dispensers this week and
up to date but few bonds of dispensers
have been filed with the State board.
The board however expects them all to
come in during the ensuing ten days.
The State authorities give the following
list of the dispensaries they expect to
have in full operation on the day the
law goes into effect: Orangeburg ~,

the appointment of the force of con-
stables, said that no one would ever
know anything about that. he says
they will be appointed in due time, but
over half of them will never be known
to any but the StateCommissioner and
himself. They will be engaged in all
sorts of occupations, and will not be
required to make arrests or raise row
that would give them away. They will
simply be required to nose around and
inform on those who are selling liquor
illegally.
