MANNING, January 7.-The first trial
in the county for violating the dispen-
sary law was commenced last night at
s O'Clock and ended at 10 O'Clock, the
verdict being not guilty. The party
tried was Jacob Plowden, colored, who
was arrested upon affidavit made by
Mr.. S. A. Nettles, member of the Legis-
lature. The witnesses were II. L..
Tobias and T. A. Johnson. The State
was represented by John S. Wilson,
solicitor, and the defence by Messrs
Barron & Levi. The State at one time
seemed to have a clear case, but the
attorneys for the defence soon caused
the witnesses for the State to get mixed.
Che jury remained in the room a very
short time before they reached a verdict.
AS soon as the verdict nas rendered
every negro in the Court House began
to yell. No attempt t, stop them was
made by the trial justice. Mr.. Nettles
promises some more fun in the near
future and it is very likely that more
arrests will be made in the morning.
He is no doubt acting upon the superior
Judgment ''of that good man" in Co.
iunbia.

The Columbia State of Monday pub
fishes what it considers bit of inter-
esting history in regard to Emily
Geiger. A full account of her ride,
her capture, her escape and the COM
pletion successfully Of her perilous
journey, is told fully and with thrilling
interest in the Annals of Newberry and
also in Chapman's History of South
Carolina. It is well to say here also
that Emily Geiger was a Newberry
girl, AID not native of Fairfield.
There are many other interesting
historical facts in the Annals OF New
berry. In fact it is book that ought
to be in the hands of every one who
prizes the history of South Carolina.

COLUMBIA. Sanuary There is a
general belief that the resolutions
adopted at Laurens outline the present
policy of the Irby wing of the Reform
movement. That sufficient pressure
will be brought to force change in the
programme is possible. The clause
that ''none but Reformers will partici-
pate in the election of delegates to the
July State Convention" has already
provoked considerable comment and
dissatisfaction. Said State officer to
me last nignt: "We have nothing but
Democratic clubs in this State. The
minority has come in with US, joined
our ranks as members of our clubs and
submitted to defeat. We cannot now
throw them overheard. I am opposed
to July Convention, such as is pro-
posed, and will use every influence I
have to defend its purpose. There is
now no need for such Convention.
There was, I believe, necessity for a
March Convention. We then had a
platform to adopt and principles to
announce; we cannot consistently bold
factional Convention to nominate or
suggest candidates. The whole thing
is wrong" If the author of this senti-
ment were known it would occasion
no little surprise, especially as he is
totally disinterested.
For day or two there have been
mutteripgs of kind of conference or
confab ut Wright's Hotel on Friday
night. The Information goes that
there were about ten good "Reformers'
there and that 10 a general way they
talked over the situation and came to
some conclusions. One Of the topic, so it
is said, was this: Governor Tillman, if
be is to be a candidate for the United
States Senate, ought to be made to un.
derstand that he has no right to interfere
with or influence State affairs or noml-
nations. He ought to restrict himself
to discussion of National affairs and
be "hands off" on State politics. He
can stand by and look on, but his sug-
gestions are not wanted by the good
people or liberal Reformers Of the State.
The same is applicable to Senator Irby,
and especially as he is already in Ma
tional politics, or supposed to be there.
1t is further stated that another
important question that came up at
the conference was: "Should we, as
Reformers, assume the responsibility oil
fathering the dispensary law" Some
of those present, and they were all
invited on account of being thought to
be leaders, were afraid of the dispensary
law, and especially the new one. It is
not popular scheme and may lose
many more votes than it will gain. The
fruits of this conference may soon be
shown. The cardinal feature was, so il
is said, that Tiliman and 1rby were not
expected to dabble in State politics
if they had the dictation of the slate it
would defeat a number of other would
be Governors.

Revenue Collector Appoi nted,
Especial to News and Courier

Especial to News and Courier.
WASHINGTON, January S.-As orig.
inally predicted in these dispatches,
Ex-Mayor Townes, of Greenville, was
today nominated for collector Of in.
ternal revenue. 1t is said that this
selection was made with view to
helping Senator Butler in his contest
for reelection. 1t is probable that Mr..
Hutson will be appointed collector OF
customs at Beaufort instead of Mr..
Stokes, who was supposed to be slated
for that position. Ben Perry does not
relish being turned down, as be had
made numerous wagers that he would
win the internal revenue collectorship
race. His friends say he will be pro-
vided for in some other capacity.

The Democrats with about one hun
dred majority in Congress are unable
to secure quorum for the transaction
of business, and consequently nothing
can be done towards passing the tariff
bill. It is a sorry spectacle that we
are presenting to the country.
II netting is not done with the
tariff now the Democratic party had
better give up the job. Tariff reform
has been its slogan for many years, and
now the Democrats have both branches
of Congress and the Executive. There
no excuse. There is no sense in vast
ing time. It is time now for action.

. South Carolina has only two Con-
gressmen present in Congress-Messrs.
Bra#ley and Latimer-and it seems
that the latter is flibusteriDg against
the tariff bill. Orders have been is
sued to arrest Messrs. Talbert, Strait
and McLaurin and bring them to
Washington to attend to the business
the people elected them to attend to.
This is to be campaign year and we
suppose they are horae laying plans
for reelection. That is about the
sumnum bonum Of craftsmanship in
this latter day-to be elected and draw
the salary and then to be reelected
and continue to draw it. We scarcely
get out of one election before we are in
another. The people are very dear
people as long as the candidate is
hanting their votes, but the good OF
the country is rarely considered.

pleasant recollections of bygone days.
These things are full of thrilling in

will not interest some of my readers,
yet writing ofthem will accomplish q
two-fold purpose-fll space and debar

But the Christmas tree was gotten up
by the Sundav-school that meets here.
1t was q very pretty tree and all the
children had something on it. They
all seemed to be happy and enjoyed the
treat. There is nothing like making
the children happy.
In fact I believe if we want to get
the most good out of this life there is
no way We can better accomplish it
than by constant desire and effort to
make other people happy. There is
entirely too much selfshness in this
world any way. Itdrives out the beauty
of life and only half develops the man,
and in addition makes him a slave.
"Ye may twine the living flowers
Where the living fountains glide,
And beneath the rosy bowers
| Let the selfish man abide;
And the birds upon the wing,
And the barks upon the wave,
Shall no sense of freedom bring
All is slavery to the slave;
Mammon's close linked chains have
bound him,
Self-impos'd and seldom burst;
Though heavens waters gush arouad
him,
He would pine with earth's poor
thirst"
