Prosperity High School Commencement.

It always affords US undesirable pleasure to
visit Prosperity, especially during commence,
ment. It was Our great pleasure to attend com.
menceruent there last week, June 9th and 7th
We knew rich and rare feast was in store fol-
US, hence we were so Fortunate once as to be a
pupil of Prof. E. o. Counts, we knew his capa.
bility Of making things interesting and beneficial
Anticipation very often exceeds realization, but
it was not the case on this occasion. The exer-
cises really surpassed our expectations. Wednes
day evening, June 9th, $50, the school building
was full. The Prosperity orchestra furnished
music both nights, 1t wasn't any common music
either, but something grand and beautiful.
DR.. E. S. Joynes made a splendid address. The
frs. part was to the children especially. Telling
in witty and humorous way how things were
when he was school boy. The latter part was
deeper, and needed more mature minds to com.
prehend than the average school child possesses
He was very pleasant in both manner and speech
thereby winning the regard and esteem of all
Who were 80 fortunate as to hear him.
Thursday evening, June 9TH, we had the pleas.
ure of listening to a most excellent programme
There were two graduates, Misses Gertrude
Simpson and May Dominick. Each read splen.
did essay: they were we'll read clear and distinct
An interesting debate was we'll discussed by FIVE
boys and eight girls. There were several dia
logues and Rotations which were much enjoyed
Two beautiful songs were sung by the children
Miss Rosa Wyse played the accompaniments
She played with much grace and ease. It did
one good to see how glibly her fingers glided
over the keys.
Prof E. o. Counts presented diplomas to the
two graduates with several complimentary re-
marks Exercises closed with benediction by
Rev. r. o. Keister.
Prosperity should feel grateful fc7 being so for
tunate as to the service Of such good teach
ers as Prof E, o. Counts and Miss Lila Kibier
There is no placeSthat can boast Of better schoo
than Prosperity. AS we once went to school
there we shall always have a tender feeling fol
the dear old schoolhouse and the town.

The Herald and News publishes on
the fourth page the New York Suns
account of Governor Tillman's speech
on Temperance" at Staten Island. The
Governor says The Times made the
most honest and accurate report OF
what he said. Be that as it may, the
New York Recorder made the most
ridiculous and nonsensical report ofthe
speech. 1t represents the Governor as
using the dialect Of the cornfeld darkey,
such as "Dar! Oar! tole you I'se got
'im," isyah passport, ,""Dat sa great
has," and "Dis yo's farmer Tillman,
Governor of South Carolina" Such mis-
representation is an insult not only to
Governor Tillman but to the Southern
people. Everybody who-has ever hearo
the Governor knows that he uses just
as good English in his speeches as the
New York Recorder reporter, whose
attempt at fun is ridiculous in the ex'
treme.

NOT REPEALED.

The ten per cent. tax on State banks
was not repealed by the vote in the
House last Wednesday. Some Demo
Gratis in Congress seem to be bigger
than the party.
. The Party says: "Repeal."
The NJ. G. says: mo Repeal"
And what are we to do about it? Keep
on losing our golden opportunities and
run against the snag of defeat in the
next election? 1t looks that way.
Section 8 of the Democratic platform
on which President Cleveland and q
large majority Of the House of Repre-
sentatives were nominated aud elected
reads as follows: "
"We recommend that the prohibi-
tive 10 per cent. tax on State bank issue
be repealed
That plank of the platform is plain
and simple. But look further. The
Democrats in Congress held caucus
in April last, at which they took the
following action, without dissenting
vote:
Resolved, That it is the sense Of this
caucus that the prohibitory tax of 10
per cent. on bank issues be repealed.
Resolved, That when the bill known
as the Brawley and Spencer bill, which
the Committee on Banking aud Cur.
rency has ordered reported to the
House, is called up for action, an
amendment be offered repeating the
prohibitcry tax on State banks; that
ample time beatforded for discussion,
and if necessary to secure this the Com
mittee on Rules be requested to take
proper action.
This is all very plain also. (
What is the result? Seventy-fve
Democrats deliberately step off the
platform and defeat the measure. We
believe in sticking to principles.
To the credit of the South Carolina
delegation be it said, they voted solidly
for repeal.

NO STATE BANK TAX REPEAL.
Defeat of the Measure in the House
Democrats Not on the Party Platform.

WASHINGTON, June by vote of
l72 10 l02 the House of Representa-
tives to-day voted not to repeal the
law imposing q tax of 10 per cent.
upon the issues of State banks and
other associations. Then it decided,
without the formality of vote or even
a division, to kill the Brawley bill, to
which the Other proposition was an
amendment. This bill proposed to
suspend the operations of the law as to
the certificates and other evidences of
money issued by Clearing Houses and
other associations during the currency
panic of 1898. This latter action was
somewhat unexpected, because IN the
cause of the ten days debate just closed
thore had been no objection expressed
to that proposition. The vote on the
repeal of the 10 per cent. tax law, it is
said, did not represent the full extent
of the opposition TO that measure.
All of the voters in favor of the Cox
amendment to repeal the 10 per cent.
tax outright were cast by 102 Demo.
Gratis.
Of the nay voters IS were cast by
Republican,, by Populists, and IS by
Democrats:

THE STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

THE STATE EXECUTIVE T. SOhIuA SN'
Elsewhere we publish the full pro-
ceedings of the State Executive COM
mittee. By the rules adopted oy the
committee the coming primary resolves
itself into white primary solely and
simply. So far as we are concerned we
have no objection to such plan. Every
one who Will take the pledge to ABIDE
the result is entitled to vote, whether
he be Popuiist, Republican or Democrat.
Of course if he takes part be Will be
bound to support the nominees. That
suits The Herald and News all right.
We are for anything in South Carolina
that is honorable, that requires no sacrl-
fee of principles, that will keep the
white people together and restore peace
and harmony.
Now under this ruling there should
be free and fair primary. An open
field without any caueuses or anything
ofthat kind. If the primary is the thing
we should let it be free and open field.
But from the way the campaign is
arranged, it looks as if the committee
was shaping things to fit the Reform
caucus or convention that is to be held
in Columbia in August rather than act
ing for all the white people and Demo-
erats Of the State. It does looks like
rather that this committee was the
committee of the Reform faction
rather than the committee of the en-
tire party. Why should the cam-
paign be 50 rushed as to get through
long before the State Convention and
lust prior TO the Reform caucus that
is to be held to say who to run for the
Offices?
But then as only Reformers are to be
in the race, and if they are willing to
submit to such plan, it suits US very
well. The Herald and News has no
candidate for any Office and is securely
perched upon the fence and expects TO
watch the contest below and get all
the fun out of it possible, criticising and
condemning, or praising and commend
ing as it sees proper to do without fear
or favor. We want to see best men
win, and if we are to have no caucus
in county affairs, as the Rev. J. A.
Sigh has said, why we shall be satisfied,
because we have great confidence in
the white people of -Newberry, and
know they will do right if let alone.

THE PROHIBITION CONVENTION.

The Prohibitionists held their COD.
vention in Columbia last week, adopted
a platform, passed some resolutions and
adjourned. That was about all they
could do, we presume. There was q
strong sentiment in the convention fol
the nomination of State ticket, but il
was evident that some of the Prohibi.
tionists were unwilling to do anything
or take any steps that would come in
conflict with or hurt or iDjure their
political faction. Their action does
not amount to much, but then possibly
it did no harm. There was large per
cent. Of one time prohibitionists in the
convention who are now advocates OF
the dispensary system. The Prohibi-
tionists would have had very small
following even if they had put up
State ticket unless their strength had
come from those who have heretofore
opposed prohibition.
The whiskey question in this State
presents at this time rather anoma-
lous condition. A large majority OF
those who have heretofore claimed to
be prohibitionists from principle, and
have all along claimed that the sale OF
whiskey was an unmitigated evil, and
that statutory prohibition Of the sale
was the remedy, have ali atonce awoke
to the conclusion that practical pro-
hibition was impossible and that the
solution of the whole matter was IN the
dispensary system, and that so long as
the State sold whiskey, whether fol-
medicinal purposes or as beverage, it
was all right and the proper thing to
do. While on the other hand, those
who have. opposed prohibition are now
ready to vote a prohibition ticket, and
would prefer statutory prohibition to
the dispensary.
Though the dispensary law has been
declared unconstitutional, there seems
to be a feeling that the dispensary in
some way will be opened again soon
What foundation there is for such a
feeling we do not know, but we dc
know that it exists. We publish else
where full proceedings of the prohibi'
ton convention. They propose to pro-
pound questions to the candidates, but
what will that amount to? We will
see what will be done towards putting
q stop to blind tigers. One section o1
the platform seems to have the gap
down for the nomination Of a State
ticket even yet, but it is not at all
probable that ticket will be put in
the field. There is entirely too much
Tillmanism and dispensary among the
prohibitior!sts to believe that they
would care to putup anything in oppo'
sition.
The editor of The Herald and News
was present at the prohibition conven'
ton and heard the discussions and ou1
conclusion is that prohibition will De a
very small factor in the coming prima-
ries. We had thought at one time that
the prohibitionists were in earnest and
meant business, but we have now con-
cluded that prohibition is only second

TINDAL'S CANDIDACY
For the Governorship of South Carolina
Has Upset Calculations.
1Special.to Atlanta, Constitution.

1Special.to Atlanta, Constitution.
COLUMBIA, S. c., June 10.-The
entrance of Secretary of State Tindal
into the gubernatorial contest has
turned topsyturvy the calculations and
predictions of all QUE political seers. 1t
will be remembered that early in the
spring Mr.. Tindal was generally spoken
of as a candidate and that be ATTENDED
several meetings and delivered speechee
of a mild and inofensive character
,, compared to the somewhat partisans
ones of young Mr.. Gary Evans.
Later on Mr.. Tipdal published let
ter in which be gave out the impression
that be would not be candidate, and
! for two months urged peace and unity
and mutual forgiveness Of sins be-
tween the political factions. His utter
ances were regarded as remarkably
liberal, and assuaging to the existing
strife. and bitterness between South
Carolinians, considering that they
emanated from a man who had been
originally and persistently identified
with the Tillman sgitation. Suddenly
two weeks ago Mr.. Tindal's name ap.
peared in the way ola suggestion in a
number of Reform county weeklies, and
the Manning Times, a leading Reform
paper of the Eastern part of the State,
published in Clarendon, Mr.. Tindal's
county, printed a stroug editorial urging
Mr.. Tindal to take the field,
It almost seemed that there had been
preconcerted arrangement among
Tillmanite papers of less violent ten
dency to boost him and the belief is
that he will command the support of
peace loving Tillmanltes throughout
the State az we'll as attract encourage
ment from many Conservatives.
Mr.. Tindal is scholarly man with a
European education, save in bis man
ners, and good speaker. 1t is claimed
by many persons, however, that be is
imb0ed with advanced socialistic no.
tions and the probability is that be will
prove an intense advocate of the dis
peGsary scheme and other of the Till
man ideas regarded by the opposing
faction as most radical.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Tindals entry,
present indications are that John Gary
Evans still has good lead and Ellerhe's
chances will be more impaired by Tin
dal's candidacy than his. Evans has
had nothing to say since the Supreme
Court nulllfed the dispensary. The
opinion still prevails to some extent
that the dispensaries will be re-opened
the moment the composition of the
Supreme Courv is changed by Justice
elect Gary taking his seat in July, to
which the fact that county dispensers
are merely retired on half pay, as it
were, lends color, and if this surmise
should prove true it will have the effect
of tremendous boost for Evans, who,
after Tillman, is the recognized dispen-
sary exponent.
