OUR PROSPERITY LETTER.
Especial to The Herald aud News.

PROSPERITY, S. c., May l5.-Dr.
G. Y. Hunter and Miss Carrie, only
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. G. G. De-
Walt, were married at the residence
of Rev. u. w. Bedenbaugh on last
Wednesday.
A match game of base ball was
played here last Wednesday between
the College team, of New berry College,
and team here. The result was vic
tory for Prosperity. The writer was not
present, but Judging from the score,
which was 26 to p, the playing on both
sides was especially bad.
Prof. E. S. Joynes, of the South Caro-
lima College will deliver the annual
address before Prosperity High School
on the night Of June 9Th.
The officers of the Prosperity Rifles
have been duly commissioned by the
Governor and as soon as the company
receives their guns and other military
paraphernalia they will be ready to put
down an insurrectiop, or to meet any
other emergency. Long live the Rifles.
The seasons are remarkably fine.
The stands of cotton were never better,
and the tender weed looks healthy and
vigorous. Corn also is just booming.
A trip through the Dutch Fork in Lex
ington last week, and into Edgefeld
yesterday convinces me that the wheat
and oat crop is not injured to the extent
by cold as was at first supposed. On
the way from here to Kempson's Ferry,
through the "stone hills" I consider the
wheat and oat crop fair, if not good.
Of course there are some exceptions,
but az a rule, the crop of both these
cereals is fair in the ''stone hills" They
are not so good in Lexington, yet not
SO bad as once regarded.
A Hebrew named Lisches, has
opened up stock Of dry gonds and
gents furnisbing goods next door to
Kohn & Birge. We wish him all the
success he deserves, but if be survives
Prosperity's low prices. he will I've the
first of the tribe of Judah who has ac-
complished this remarkable feat. A
number of his people have made sim
liar effort, but most ingloriously failed.
The price of goods in Prosperity will
starve any Jew. Look out brother
Lisches, I greatly fear that you will not
be happy and serene very long:
YU-BE.

An Explanation Which Does Not Explain
MIR. Benz. Halfacre Seems Little Sen
sitiye-Ne One Is Taunting Him.

To the Editor of The Herald and
News: In your issue of May End see
my name alluded as pronounced
Third partyite." If you intend to in.
innate by this allusion that I am not
strictly entitled to represent Demo
cratic club, have this to say:
I supported State Democracy hon
estly and conscientiously. Differing
from & large majority OF my Demo
cratic friends I carried MY honor and
conscience with me in national poll
tics and voted for that party which CO.
incided most nearly with our State
Democracy, which, in the exercise of
my right of citizenship, felt it to be
my conscientious duty to support as
true Dcmocrecy. profess to be what
is called in politics Democrat, but l
do not yield 10 another right to in
terpret to ME what is Democratic and
what is not. Especially do not yield
this right of Interpretation to conven-
ton, dominated by men and Interests
which consider as inimical to the in
terests of the country in which live.
I have thus stated my reasons for
the course pursued in national poll
tics. I do not intend to force or ingra-
,tiate myself into any political party;
and if the explanation which have
made has explained me out Of the
Democratic party, am willing to stay
out Of the party. am not ashamed
of the course I have taken. Under the
same circumstances will do the same
thing again. If what I have said
makes NE Third partyite, commu-
mist, socialist. populist or an an
archist, 1 will not be ashamed of any
opprobrium which may attach to my
name on that account. I carry my
monitor with me, aud stand acquitted
before it. The gibes and taunts OF
thoughtless persons will not move me
to a violation Of my conscience.

The Newberry Herald and News
says it is not right, or just, or fair 10
question the motives of Justice Pope in
the Dispensary matter and to charge
him with making partisan decision
for political purposes. But, brother H.
and n, didu't Justice Pope intimate
some thing about the motives Of his
associates in this celebrated Case? Have
you no word of censure for him? In
view Of all the circumstances of the case
We think The Herald an News went
a little cut of it's way in its defence of
Justice Pope.-Johnston Monitor.
In so far as Justice Pope questioned
the motives of bis associates who did
not agree with him he also was wrong.
The Herald and News in speaking of
the critics of Justice Pope did not in-
tend to excuse him from any errors of
which be may have been guilty. We
do not feel that we are going out of our
way in any matter when we are speak
ing for right and justice and fair deal
irg.

What are the prohibitionists in New
berry going to do? If the decision OF
the Supreme Court gives US practical
prohibition there is no necessity for
their convention or of their taking any
action. The State has what the peo.
pie asked the Legislature to give, if it
had to 60 around by the Supreme Court
to get it. The duty of all good citizens
is to abide the decision of the court.
That is the court of last resort.

An excited and interested throng
crowded the Fourth district court room
long before Judge Miner had taken his
seat on the bench this morning. The
time of the court was occupied the en-
tire day with the hearing on order to
show cause why the injunction here
tofore issued should not he made per-
1hanent United States Attorney Judd
and Assistant United States Attorney
Maginnis were early on the scene. and
Judge Rhodes soon appeared, accom-
panied by large number of his
clients. the strikers.
The morning session was spent in ar
guing the dumurrer, which was ulti-
mately overruled. An answer TO the
complaint, denying all charges, was
then filed. In the afternoon the TAX
ing Of evidence was commenced.
Robert Skirrat, president of the local
union A. r. u, was Placed on the
stand. At the opening Of the eXamlna-
ton he was asked by Judge Judd to
state who were members of the union,
but he positively refused To answer the
question. At this stage the court was
thrown into state of excitement by
Frank Cashmere, an eX-railroadsr,
jumping up and shouting "Thats night

Cashmere was Immediately arraigned
before his honor and sentenced to five
days Imprisonment. MOI sans
fed with this punishment, Cashmere
made some remarks derogatory to the
court and was given an additional five
days.
All the other questions put to Skin

refused to answer and was told to step
down. it being intended TO recall him
Judge Miner stated that he would deal
with him later for contempt Of court.

He pursued the same course followed
by S1irrat, and will be dealt with in a
similar manner.
a number of deputy marshals were
next examined as to the occurrences OF
the past few days, and at 4:30 the court
adjourned.
Both Skirrat and Bremen will in all
likelihood be sentenced on Monday, and
then the local strikers will be without
leaders.

Southern pacific-The Situation
Last Night.

Ogden, July THE lethargy of the
past two days eliminated this morning
in a riot at the Union depot and some
exciting scenes in the Fourth district
court this afternoon. The first train
over the Union Pacific which has ar
rived here since Wednesday, came into
the depot at 4:45 a. m. today. The cars
were all switched on to the different
tracks without interference. Before
the engine was taken to the round
house. a crowd of strikers attempted
to pull the fireman and engineer from
the cab, but in this they were pre-
vented by the deputies. After taking
the engine to the round house, O'Niel,
the engineer, and a non-union fireman
named John Hamilton, OF Evanston,
started for the hotel together, but o.
Mel left his companion as they were
crossing The yard. Before Hamilton
reached the depot he was surrounded
by mob of $50 strikers, and was
knocked down, kicked and otherwise
maltreated. Had it not been for the
timely arrival Of Officer Brown, it is
highly probable that he would have
been beaten TO death. Officer Brown
took him under his care and escorted
him to the city Jail, where he was Civ
en- protection and his numerous injur-
les attended to. The ac,'on Of the
strikers is genera ~ condemned as lie
ing q most C0Warily ana brutal at
tack and such ho5stli-iAS threaten
TO ALLEVIATE sympathy from the cause
of the strikers.

Position Of the S. p.

Superintendent Knapp received the
following telegram from Mr.. Towne, d
copy of which was sent to John NJ
Egan:
To John NJ. Egan, General Manager OF
Association, Chicago, Illinois:
/ am told there has been a report
sent out from the west coast to the
effect that the Southern Pacific COM
pany has made a proposition to the a.
r. u. calling off the strike and agree
ing to withdraw Pullman sleepers on
local trains in California. There is nc
foundation for such reports. There
is nothing for US to give up in
this controversy unless we sacri-
fee the rights we are entitled to under
the law which governs the ownership
of property. We shall stand firmly OF
the ground we have taken until the
trouble is over.
A H. TOWNE.
Later this afternoon the following
dispatch was received by Superinten-
dent Knapp:
mo proposition has been made on the
part of the Southern Pacific to strikers
and there never will be. Let the EN-
ployees who are loyal to the Southern
Pacific understand this, SO that they
need not fear any intimidations OF
threats on the part Of strikers.
