. On Monday evening, Rev. M. Cot
ton delivered lecture on Africa be-
fore fair sized audience, at the Con-
gregational church. The address was
a detailed account of his experiences
as an African Missionary, and the
customs, and condition of the people;
their progress and their habits were
fully explained. A large number of
articles were used to illustrate his re-
marks and observations, and added
much to the interest of the address.
Excellent and satisfactory progress
in the work of seeding, is reported
from all sections of the county, and
by the last of this week the work will
be completed, SO far as the coarse
grains, wheat, oats, barley and flax
are concerned. The crop condi-
lions are fair and the wheat has
sprouted with marvellous rapidity.
The cool moist weather is favorable
for the stooling out of grain, and the
conditions are, so far, very favorable.

WBERRY HERALD AND NEWS WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER a. 1894

A jury Of his peers has convicted Jack
Bladon of murder. He shed the first
blood under the dispensary law. He
killed man who was running away
from him trying to make his escape,
and his victim was negro. He was
put on trial and defended by learned
counsel. The jury is said 10 have been
composed of ten men of the same po-
litical faith as Bladon. They say be is
guilty of murder but recommended
him to mercy. A motion for a new
trial is made and refused. Gov. Till
man says be is surprised at the verdict.
but declines to discuss it further. It is
said that Solicitor Schumpert made a
mastery argument in the case.
Everybody is waiting to see and hear
what Gov. Tillman will do. He has it
in his power of course to grant Bladon
q full and free pardon. Will he do it.?
If he does, the only reason he can as
sign is that Bladon was State con-
stable and acting under his instruc-
tions to shoot.
This triara its result is another
evidence that the dispensary is bad
law and must go sooner or later.

When it was first announced that
Mr.. Frank Moon, Of Newberry, had
decided to become a candidate for
Governor it created some little interest
throughout the State. He said be had
entered to stay and would stick to the
end Of the fight if be got but one vote.
He was in town on Monday and in
formed US that he was still in the race
and expected to remain.
A good many persons, no doubt, have
come to the conclusion that he has
been somewhat in eclipse, but he desires
it to be known that be is very much in
the race. There was also some curiosity
t0aknow who Mr.. Moon was when his
announcement was made. For the
benefit of those who are interested The
Herald and News presents this week a
very good cut of Mr. Moon. He is a
farmer by profession and native of
this county and about 60 years old. He
has never held nor sought office. In
saying this much it is proper for The
Herald and News TO say that Mr.. Moon
is not its candidate. In fact we have
no candidate, but under the circum-
stances we are standing by John Gary
Evans and his ticket for reasons hereto
fore stated.
Mr.. Moon says that be is in favor of
. Constitutional Convention for the
reason that he thinks it is important TO
80 fix our organic law as to make white
supremacy reality and certainty for
years to come. Heis opposed to lynch
law and thinks it outrageous that Gov.
Tillman, in view of the oath of office
which be has taken, would assert and
publish that be would lead a mob to
lynch anyone. He is in favor of a dog
law and wants each dog taxed at least
S1.00 per year and is of the opinion that
$500 would not be too much. The
Herald and News now leaves Mr.. Moon
in the hands of the voters.

If we in South Carolina would attend
more to business and less to politics,
and our friends outside would let our
politics alone, we you'd all be III a
happier frame Of mind and have more
time and inclination for the develop
ment OF our State and carrying on in
ternal reforms that are of very much
more consequence than those spurious
com pounds labeled reform" and given
by political doctors whose diplomas
read forward or back with the same
efect.-Charleston Post.
You are eminently correct. We are
a politics-ridden people. 1t is the curse
of our day. Our people are not given
time enough to think of business or
material prosperity. 1t is politics, pol
itics from one year to another. And
what good does it all dc the people? A
few men get the Offices and draw the
salaries and the balance of US plow on,
pay taxes and try. to make a scauty
living. And yet some people are fool
ish enough to get mad with and try to
iDjure you if you do not vote and talk
as they think you ought. We have had
nothing but turmoil and strife and
prejudice in South Carolina for the
past several years. And for what?
Has anybody been benefited thereby?
Yes, few men who have gotten the
Offices have grown fat and rich, but
the great majority is no better off.
Suppose we let up on politics and
devote some of our energies to the'up-
building OF our owR material interests.
1t will pay US better and be better fol
the country.

We ALWAYS thought Mr.. Trb

We always thought Mr.. Irby and his
committee were extremely partisan and
factional but we never would have
charged them with being so blinded by
partisanship, while pretending to re-
present the entire Democracy, as they
have proved themselves to be. The
question of holding constitutional
convention is to be submitted to the
people to be voted on. The joint reso-
luton itself provides that two tickets
shall be submitted to the people so that
those who favor it may vote ''yes" and
those opposed "no." 1t is known that
great many Democrats are opposed to
the convention but here is Mr.. Irby and
his committee pretending to represent
the Democracy only having printed
tickets with yes" on them. They
favor the convention and therefore are
going to try TO force every one to vote
for it or not vote at all. It is high
handed piece of business. But there
will be plenty Of "no" tickets and, we
want to see lot of them put in. Let
Us vote this scheme down. We have
taxes enough already without adding
any more expenses. The valuation in
property is increasing and with it the
levy also increases.

EXTREMELY PARTIAL.

| The com n,issioners of election were
extremely partial in the distribution Of
the little advertising they had at their
disposal. The notice of election and
appointment of managers they gave
exclusively to the Voice. Heretofore
it has been the custom in this county
to give this notice to ali the papers.
From a pec1niary standpoint it
amounts to very little any way, but it
scarcely shows the proper spirit. These
gentlemen should fememb Der that they
are not holding factional election but
they are supposed to be the commits
sioners of election for all the people,
Then if they were going to select only
one paper they should have selected
the one that would have given the
widest possible circulation to the notice.
The money which they spend fo- this
work is not their money, but it comes
out of the pockets of all the tax
payers.
/ But it would have been but right and
proper, and just and fair to have given
the notice to all the papers. That has
been the practice heretofore and We no.
tice it is followed in other counties.
The papers are called upon to do enough
free work for the party and the cause
of politics to deserve this little pit
tance.
#, however, they feel that they have
done right and proper in this matter
we are satisfied.
A newspaper that cannot live with
out the public printing cannot live
with it. It amounts to very little in
this county. We would not have re-
ferred to this matter at all but good
maay people have asked Us about it
and inquired who were the managers
and we make this statement 80 that
they may know why The Herald and
News did not publish them. We were
not even given list so that we could
print them free.

WHAT THE Party HAS DONE

Senator Pat Walsh of Georgia in a
most excellent and elaborate speech in
Atlanta some days ago summarized
what the Democratic party has done
for the people in the following nine
propositions. We ask the people to
take these statements and compare
them with the statements of those who
would try to make it appear that De-
mocracy has been failure:
81. It has repealed the Sherman
law.
''2. It has repealed the federal elec-
ton laws.
"3. It has repealed the Mckinley law.
It has reduced tariff taxation over sixty
millions Of dollars.
~. It has added to the free list more
than S40,O00,00O of articles, embracing
the necessaries of life.
''5. It has reduced the expenses OF
the government more than $50, 900, 900.
IS. 1t has reduced tariff taxes on the
necessaries of life.
~. It has adopted an income tax that
will yield $4,000 600.
IS. It has increased the tax on spirits
to the amount of S20,O0O,000. ~.
"9. It has carried into effect the
pledge of the party to give the people
an honest and economical administra-
tion of federal government" --

The total average for States repre-.
,sented S96. :-.
South Carolina, as will be seeuis SS4
per capita below the average of the
States given. From this showing we
are not so terribly in debt. If some one
who has the money and owes it would
just begin by paying it and the thing
was kept moving, great many debts
could soon be paid with very small
amount of money.
The highest per capita mortgage in
debtedness given in the States above is
in New York. This we do not under
stand for New York is the money Gen.
tire of this country. But the trouble
there is few men own the wealth.
Let US take courage and keep our
selves even lower down in the column
of Indebtedness. Debt is what is ruin
ing this country. The farmers have
made q fne corn-crop and will be in
better condition for the next year. We
hope that cotton has reached the bot
tom and will take an upward move
ment before it is out of the hands of the
producer. Let US at least look with
hope to the future and take courage.
''For out of the gloom future bright
ness is born,
AS after the night looms the sunrise of
morn"

.1.E .EWEPROSpEROUSe

The calamity howler has been in the
land for many years. Just now be is
getting in some good work. There is,
apparently at least, this time some
reason in his madness. The price of
cotton is low. There is good deal Of
money owing and in many cases by
people the least able to pay it. But we
believe there has been spirit of liqua-
dation among the people for several
years and the amount of Indebtedness
has been greatly reduced and the dis
position among our farmers has been
to reduce the cost of production and
to raise on the farm more of the
Tecesssries of life. If the present crisis
can be safely passed better day will
dawn. The conditions have greatly
changed during the last twenty-five or
thirty years, and the trouble has been
to stand the transition and to adapt
ourselves to the new surroundings.
Sometimes it is well to compare our
selves with those around US and when
we find we are no worse eff than they
are it has the effect at least Of making
US more contented with our lot. The
Atlanta Journal sometime ago pub
lished an editorial headed "Prosperous
Georgia" in which table was given,
showing the per capita mortgage in-
debtedness of several States as taken
from the official figures of the census.
We give the same figures in this arti-
ele. It will be seen that the per capita
mortgage Indebtedness of South Caro-
lima is not only So less than Georgia,
but it is the lowest in the list. If it is
proper, tben, to say prosperous Geor-
gia,' it is more correct to say more
prosperous South Carolina.
The Journal says, speaking of Geor-
gia, "We believe it to be an incontro-
vertible fact that the people of this
State are in q better financial condi-
tion to-day than they have been atany
time since the war; that they are &C.
cumulating property faster than they
ever did before, and that the State is on
the eve of an era of unprecedented
prosperity" We hope this bright view
Of the situation is Il ue, and will prove
so. But let US look at the figures above
referred to:
The following are the official figures
of mortgage Indebtedness per capita as
given by special report of the Census
Bureau:

THREE BOYS SUsPECTED-A START
LING REPORT ABOUT THE ORANGE
BURG TRAGEDY.
Especial to News and Courier. I

COLUMBIA, 5. c., October 22.-There
is the greatest interest taken here in
the Copes murder case and the hope is
generally expressed that the right par
ties will oe captured and justly pun
ished. It was reported here this morn
ing that three young white men, resi-
dents Of Orangeburg, are suspected of
the murder and that they would be
arrested during the day. The report
went on to say that the young men
had gone out hunting on the day Of the
murder and that they were seen in the
neighborhood on that day, and that
since their return to the city of Orange
burg there have been suspicious cir
cumstances. 1t is further charged that
there is a good deal of circumstantial
evidence against the young men, but
it is said that nothing will be done
Until the net Of evidence is more close
ly woven. The young men have lived
in Orangeburg all their lives, and it is
hard to believe that they could be
guilty of such an outrageous crime.
Governor Tillman says that he is
ready to do all in bis power to secure
the arrest and conviction of the guilty
parties. This morning he telegrapbed
to neighboring town to arrest Emap-
uel Williams, who has not the best of
regulations. He will have him give an
account of himself.

County Chairman Capers grows
wrathy and seems very indignant be-
cause The Herald and News stated that
the Commissioners of election we're ap.
pointed on his recommendation and
pronounces the allegation false. Why
bless his dear soul we did not intend
to do him any harm or injury and since
be is so indignant we gladly make the
correction and beg his pardon, if any
injury has been done him. But really
we see no occasion for his outburst of
rage. One would think his innocence
had been outraged. So far as we are
able to judge the commissioners are
honorable men and competent, though
extreme partisans, and as Chairman
Cspers, through the Voice, is the recipi-
ent of what little favors and patronage
they had to oestow in the way of ad-
vertising, we repeat we can see no rea-
sou for his indignation at the sugges-
ton that they were appointed on his
recommendation. But these are strange
times and strange things do happen.
We were led into the error by thestate-
ment that we saw somewhere that the
appointments were made on the recon-
mendation of the committeeman from
the various counties and the conclusion
was natural that Chairman Capers was
consulted. But it seems the Rev. J. A.
Sigh, member of the State committee,
was the gentleman meant. We will
say for the benefit of Chairman Capers
that we never Intentionally ipjure or
misrepresent any one, and if we should
misrepresent any one we are always
glad to make proper reparstion. We
would suggest, however, that few
lessons in polite English would not in
jure him.
