Meeting of Executive Committee.

IhSSlluS Ok Executive
Tie County Democratic Executive
Committee met inthe court house last
Saturday morning. It was some time
before a quorum was present, but
about II O'Clock eighteen members
answered to their names and Chair
man Blease called the meeting to
order.
Secretary Maybin and Secretary pro
tenn. Bedenbaugh were both absent,
and so Mr.. 6. A. NILS was chosen Sec
retary pro tenn.
Mr.. w. II. Hunt, Jr., moved that
the committee proceed to tabulate the
returns, which motion was adopted.
The chairman appointed the follow
ing committee to open the boxes and
examine the returns: J. P. Harmon,
P. G. Smith, NJ. H. Folk, L. E. Folk,
W. P. Pugh.
All the boxes were in and the re-
turns the same as those printed in the
extra of The Herald and News on Fri
day morning, except at Slighs. Two
Mower votes were thrown out at this
precinct because there were two bal
lots folded together, making his vote
there IA, instead of l6.
There was no box or return from
Whitmires, so on motion the commit
tee adopted the vote for this precinct
as published in the extra of The Her
aid and News.
The committee declared Mr.. Mower
nominated by majority of 179 out ot
the total vote of 1881.
They remained in session two hours
as the constitution requires, to heal
protests and contests, but of course
none were filed.

CLEMSON'S BARD LUCK.
The War Department Declines to Detail
Capt. Darlington for Service at
hetCollege.


The following letter, recently re-
ceived from the war department by the
Hon. VIM. H. Brawley, explains it.
self:
WASHINGTON, June 26, 1892.
Hon. William b. Brawly, House of
Representatives-My Dear Sir: 7 am
desired by the Secretary of War to say,
in reference to your request that Capt.
Darlington, 7th cavalry, be detailed as
military professor at the Clemson
Agri ricultural College, South Carolina,
thai be regrets exceedingly his not
being able to comply with your re-
quest.
The detail of Capt. Darlington for the
Clemson Agricultural College was also
very earnestly recommended to the
Secretary by Senator Lrby, Of South
Carolina. The Secretary felt constrained
to deny the request of Senator Irby for
the following reasons, which are equal
ly applicable to the similar requests
of yourself and other gentlemen of the
State: The regulations regarding the
detail of army officers for colleges ex-
pressly prohibit the detail of Captains
| for that duty. These regulations were
adopted after careful consideration of
the subject. While it sometimes be-
comes necessary to detach Captains
from their troops or companies, yet the
department does SO only in cases of ex-
treme necessity. The presence of q
Captain with his appropriate command
is deemed by the department indis-
pensible to the good condition Of the
command.
These reasons compel the Secretary,
with much regret, to disapprove the
application.
Very respectfully,
r. WILLIAMS.
Adjutant-General.

THE STATE AS BARKEEPER.
The New Order Inaugurated Last Saturday
The Private Bars Closed and the
State in the Business.

Last Friday the board of control and
the county dispenser were all busy
opening up their liquor and making
ready for business on Saturday.
The barrooms had about closed out
all their liquor and it would have been
almost impossible to secure gallon of
good rye liquor from any of the bars.
They had managed to run their stock
down very low.
Everything had been made in readi-
uess for the new order Of things and
Saturday, but for the State Dispensary,
there would have been no liquor on
sale in Newberry, and if the board had
taken the trouble to have had correct
list of the freehold voters we would
have had prohibition pure and simple.
But that seems to be foreign to the idea
of the dispensary and prohibition ad-
vocates Of the new idea.
At the dispenssry We understand
that an even hundred applications
were filed, while The dispenser refused
to sell some few who made application.
The editor dropped around at the dis
pensary for few moments on Satur-
day afternoon and found the room
crowded and business seemed good.
There will be no trouble for those
| who desire it to secure ali the ardent
they may want. The State is in the
business for revenue, and, in order TO
secure this, whiskey must be sold.

Wednesday morning about four
O'Clock Mr.. Z. B. Prather's family were
aroused by fire in the house and
had not even time to dress to escape
without Injury. A lot of plunder had
been stored in closet in an upper
room, among which was an old straw
bed, two buckets of paint and two cans
Sof Oil. It was in this closet that the
fire started apparently. Considering
all this it seems probable that it was
caused by spontaneous combustion.
{ When the fire was discovered it was
licking across the hallway up stairs.
The house had been standing about
seven years and was very dry. 1t
knrned so fast that the only property
that could be saved was the bedding
Sthe family were sleeping on, trunk,
"a table, 8 cupboard, a sewing machine
and an organ.
The house is situated on the street
that runs parallel to College street and
is back OF Mr.. D. .Wheeler's. It was a
2-story building of six rooms with the
first story brick. Mr.. Geo. S. Mower
owned it and had it insured for $500,
He valued it at about $1,000. Mr..
Prather had no insurance, and the loss
falls very heavilyon him. It is remem.
bered that another house that stood on
this same lot was burned about eight
or nine years ago.
The building was out of range of the
Fire Company on account Of lack oi
cisterns, just like the college campus o,
anyof the large residences on upper

A BIG COURT.
Judge Evans Holds Court in the Court
house-Fourteen Citizens Before His
Honor for Trespass-Ne Case
Against Them and They Are
Declared "Not c uilty.''

Trial Justice H. Fl. Evans held a big
court in the courthou+e last Friday.
The courthouse was filled with curious
and interested spectators and Judge
Evans occupied the judges stand while
Constable Baxter acted as high sheriff.
The c0sus 6eW was warrant which
had been sworn out by Mr.. r. K.
Reeder against fourteen of our most
lava abiding citizens, charging them
with "unlawfully. wiIfully and mali
ciously" committing a trespass upon
his lands, or lands in his charge. The
gentlemen charged with this offense
were:
Jas. K. Glider. G. NJ. B. Epting, A.
J. S. Langford, Nat Gist. J.. G. Cog
gans, G. w. Bishop, L. w. Floyd, G.
J. Purcell, w. w. Riser, w. A. Fant,
Thomas Neel, Partlow Neel, w. G.
Cromer, and L. E. Folk.
On the back Of this warrant is en-
dorsed the following: "For good and
sufficient reasons hereby enter a mol
pros as to Nat Gist. r. K. Reeder."
une "a, 1893.
There was also another warrant
charging three colored men with the
same offense. They were: Henry John
akin, Alex Gray, Jno. Eichelberger.
They were all joined and tried to-
gether.
On the 23d June these gentlemen,
little expecting the consequences, de-
termined to have little fun and
pleasure seining for fish in Bush river.
It seems they went through the lands
in charge of Mr.. Reeder, at the Abrams
place, some five miles from Newberry
The colored men were taken along to
do the cooking and attend other er-
rands.
Mr.. Reeder gave them no notice not
to enter the lands or to leave after
they had entered, but at once under
took the criminal prosecution. Mr..
Reeder conducted the prosecution him
self and the defendants were repre-
sented by Geo. B. Cromer, Esq.
The following jury was empaneled
to try the cause: So. Mclaughlin, J.
H. Wicker, J. B. Suber, w. Y. Miller,
W. II. Harris and ]. z. Walton. Mr..
Suber was made foreman.
The witnesses for the State were Mr..
Reeder, Mr.. Abrams and two negroes.
The substance of their testimony was
that these gentlemen went down there
and seined in Bush river, or rather a
party Of gentlemen, some of whom they
knew. And that the bones Of the fish
were seen on the banks of the river.
Mr.. Reeder said himself that he did not
believe they would have gone there if
he had given them notice not to.
The defense put up no testimony.
Mr.. Cromer gave the Court thel law and
made a very excellent speech, the
judge charged the jury and they re-
turned verdict of not guilty.
Mr.. Cromer, in behalf of his clients,
accepted notice from Mr.. Reeder not to
do so any more. But that same after
noon, upon the invitation of Mr.. Reed.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Attorney
General Townsend, of Columbia, left
Washington for home tonight. Mr..
Townsend said be wants to be in South
Carolina on Saturday to witness the
opening Of the government liquor dis
pensaries. He wsll return to Washing
ton in about a fortnight.
Mr.. n. B. Dial, Of Laurens, also left
tonight in company with MI. Town
send. Mr.. Dial has been lingering in
Washington with the idea that Presi-
dent Cleveland might offer him some
thing better than the Zurich consul
ate. To-day Dial had long conference
with Assistant Secretary of State Quin-
cy. II have had a talk with the Presi-
dent about your case," said Quincy,
"and we have come to the conclu-
sion that we cannot offer you anything
better than the place which has been
rendered you. Were it not for factional
feuds in your State something might
be DONE"
"As for that" replied Dial, "faction
need not cut any figure. I have been
endorsed by, both Senators and every
Congressman from my State"
EYES," replied Quincy, "we appre.
ciate your splendid recommendations,
but the fact of the matter is all desir-
able places have been filled, and it il
improbable that any South Carolinian
will be given an appointment superior
to the Zurich consulate"
Mr.. Dial then formally declined the
position. He says he cannot afford to
60 to foreign country and represent
the United States on such limited sal
ary as is attached to the place which
was rendered him. His application
was for the consulate to Havre, France
and all his recommendations were fol
that place. That Office was filled early
in March, however, and ever since the
Laurens lawyer has been living ir
hopes. He says tonight that he vii
return to his home and practice hi!
