TREy HAVE DETERMINED TO BE
FREEMEN.

From all the information We have
been able to gather, the reformers did
not rally to any great extent under the
rallying cry issued by the Rev. J. A.
Sigh. We note that he had a second
call last week in his organ exclusively.
Now it may be that in consequence Of
this exclusiveness not many of the re-
formers knew of it or saw it, and that,
therefore, they had forgotten about 1t.
He did net ask The Herald and News
to print it or we should have done so
with pleasure; and we presume that be
also slighted the other two newspa-
pers in the county.
We have heard from two clubs and
they only elected officers and are await
ing further instructions. The factory
club did not meet aud we made special
inquiry from other sections and we do
not think that reform clubs were
formed in half or even one-third Of the
county.
We hope it means that the people
intend this year to be freemen and
vote and act as they please, indepen-
dent of rings and caucusses and dicta-
ton from any source. We have a
primary in which every white person
who will take the pledge to abide the
result is allowed to participate and this
exclusive primary business smacks too
much of bcssism and dictation and ring
rule. We say We hope that this indif-
ference means that the white voters of
Newberry County, Ut least, have made
up their minds that they are compe-
tent to vote intelIigently at the general
primary for the best men who offer
themselves and that they do not need
to ba told how they must do it or be
bossed by any one. That is good sign.
Let it be understood, however, that
The Herald and News has no candi-
date and only wants to see fair play
and justice, for in this way only can
our people be united and peace and
harmony be restored.

The appearance now is that the only
issue in the coming campaign will be
whether you are for Tillman or Butler
for United States Senator. If that is
to be the case we had better elect one
set of representatives to 90 down to
Columbia and vote for Senator and
then another set who are competent
and fit to 60 there and make laws and
legslate for an intelligent common
wealth. It will be pitisble sight we
will present to the world Of men as
piring to the position of law makers
who are to be tested by their allegiance
to one of two men regardless of their
fitness for the position they aspire to
fill. And yet that is about the test we
will undertake to put. So far as we
are concerned we want to see men sent
to the Legislature and elected to fill the
various Offices who are competent to
discharge the duties regardless of whom
they are for for United States Senator.

Gen, Evans has retired and wit

Gen. Evans has retired and with
drawn from the race for Governor in
Georgia, and the field is left to w. Y.
Atkinson. The Herald and News bad
thought Evans would get the nomina-
ton, and in bis card of withdrawal he
further confirms US in the belief that
he is the man who should have been
nominated. He withdraws in order
that peace and harmony may be main
tanned in the Democratic party, and
holds that allegiance is due to the Ma
tional as wei! as the State Democratic
party. He also says that differences of
opinions among the Democrats should
not cause personal and bitter criticisms
of those of our leaders upon whom had
been imposed the responsibilities of
Office, nor produce factional divisions
in Democratic ranks. This is not the
style of candidates we have in South
Carolina.

General Butler has pleaded on every
stump for separate box for senator
Somehow or other Governor Til.man
seems to be afraid to submit to it. We
thought that was bis plea for several
years. We notice, TOO, that be insists
on his friends requiring the candidates
for the Legislature to take an oath to
support him.
We would be glad to see the execu.
tive committee order separate box for
United States Senator so that We might
have some other issue in the primary
for legislators than personal one. If
not we are going to have the worst sort
of a driftwood Legislature in Columbia
next winter, for you are not going 70
get good men to make the race on the
simple and idiotic issue of being for
Till nan or Butler.
And besides that it is portant that
We have good men in the Legislature;
vastly more important to US than
whether Butler or Tillman goes to the
Senate.

OUR LAST ISSUE.

The Herald anu Ne"S gave up us
entire space last week to the CON-
mencenent exercises in New berry COL
lege. Much Of the space was given to a
publication of the addresses delivered
during the week. They are all good
and will repay any one for careful
reading. They should be read and th n
put aside, for they will bear reading
again. They all contain many truths
we'll told and study of their senti-
ments and thoughts will be helpful
and elevatirg. We need to have a
change of diet for the mind oc-
casionally. Our people have been
fed so much on politics and political
abuse for the past few years that we
hope they relished the dish The Herald
and News gave them last week. The
political discussions in this State have
been pitched on such low plane for
the past few years that they are any
thing but elevating or educating.
They appeal to our lowest natures and
it would be Infinitely better for the
peace and prosperity of our old State
if there was not another political
meeting until our politicians had
learned to pitch their discussions on
higher plane. And the pity is that
many of our newspapers are down Oh
that same level and instead of being
leaders and moulders Of public opinion
and laboring to elevate and enlighten
humanity, they are simply camp
followers, spending their energies try
ing to find out what is popular and
then whooping that up aud abusing
everything else. But this is slightly
off the subject, but it is so true that it
is not out of place to warn the people
of this dangerous diet they are being
given. So dangerous is it that it
should not be considered out of place
anywhere to warn them against it..
The reader will remember that our
issue last week contained full &C.
count of the proceedings, up to and in
c!uding commencement day exercises.
The awarding of medals, comforting Of
degrees and all, and still we made our
mails on Wednesday. The Herald and
News is newspaper.
A Christian college is the greatest
boon any community can possess, for
as was brought out in several of the
addresses last week, Christian educa-
ton is the great peed of the State, and
we truly believe with the speak. RS that
such an education is the solution for
the problems that are confronting our
people to-day. The great need of the
times is greater love in the heart,
more charity, a broadening of views
and such an education as lifts the man
on plane that rises above the seeking
of purely selfish and sordid ends. The
trouble is that the country is overrun
with and being led by narrow minded
and selfish demagogues. This being
true we shall always take pleasure in
giving aid and encouragement TO any
institution that has for its object the ele-
vating and bettering of humanity. Our
college is worth great deal to our COM
munity-much more than we some
times realize-and we feel it duty as
we'll as esteem it a pleasure, to bring
such institutions prominently to the
attention of our people. In no way
cau we better do this than in giving
some idea of what is being done at
these institutions.

Col. Ellison S. Keitt, of Enoree, will
start out on the first of July and make
speeches in every county in the State
on National questions. He has made
special study ofthe financial question
and is prepared to meet any of
the campaigns in joint debate.
It would be good idea for him
to join the State campaigners and
teach them something in finance.
He is a good speaker and is we'll in-
formed. He may be in the ice for the
United States Senate and if be does
enter he will make it lively for both
Gen. Butler and Gov. Tillman. There
is strong feeling among a great many
people for new man and a good strong
man could make winning fight. A
large portion of the good people of the
State would be glad to lend their aid
and support to some other man. They
are not in love with either ore of the
candidates or their style of campaign.
There may be opportunity for dark
horse yet.

OPPOSED TO A REFORM CONVENTION
DIR. Pope Comes Out Squarely for Fair
Play and Only the General Primary
Opposed to Rings and Ciques.

To the Reform Voters of the Demo-
cratic Party:-The perpetuation of the
Reform movement depends upon the
manner of conducting the ensuing pri-
mary. Under rules of the State Primary,
candidates are required to get q major
ity of the votes cast, and if more than
two are running for the same office and
none get a majority in the first primary,
then second primary settles it, the
two highest in the first primary being
the candidates in the second. There is
no danger therefore of a conservative
getting majority, except in those
counties controlled 10y them, which are
few in number. In other counties
Conservative and refOrmer would run
it over and the Reformers would con-
centrate on the keforn candidate at the
second primary.
The Reform executive committee
have ordered an intervening primary
between the Reform candidates for
Governor and Lieutenant Governor to
take place in August, which will be in
advance of some of the county meetings;
in s me Of tn Counties it is proposed to
substitute mass meetings fora primary.
The candidates for Governor have al
ready been forestalled in some of the
counties by Reform clubs endorsing
certain candidates. This is unfair, to
say the least of it. If all the other eau
didates, even those who are running
for the General Assembly which is to
elect a United States Senator, are al
lowed to submit their claims to the
general primary why not the candl-
dates for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor?
The Conservatives say that they will
not run candidate for Governor and
Lieutenant Governor, if they are al
lowed to choose one from those running
but if not allowed to do 80, that they
may not be bound by the action Of the
Reform primary.
We are for peace aud fair dealing; we
are opposed to rings and cliques, then
let Us give them aM equal chance with
us. All white men are allow ed to
participate in the general primary, who
will take the oath prescribed by the
General Assembly. This is step for
ward in the interest of pace and bar
mony. Then let all have fair showing.
The Reform Executive Committee can
be called together, rescind their call
for primary, and the State Democra-
tic Committee can make the necessary
arrangements for a box at each poll for
State officers, and fix it so that those
who get the majority in the respective
counties shall receive the vote of the
delegates from these counties to the
State Convention. All of the candi-
dates are pronounced Reformers. No
advantage can procure to any one of
them over the others. I am willing to
take my chances in the primary and I
believe that the other candidates will
be willing also. Respectfully,
SAMPSON POPE.

TILLMAN GOT THE CHEERS.

Tillman was tremendously cbeered
when be arose to speak. He said he
had the unpleasant task to perform OF
answering Buffers insinuations made
to an audience>in another county. He
reviewed his remarks about the corrup-
ton fun ! and about the free transporta-
ton OF Butler boomers to Rock Hill,
and took a 'hand primary" of she
crowd as to whether they were insult
ing. The Tillnanites by hundreds shot
up their right hands in vindication of
his course, and only two men voted the
other way, the Butterflies refusing to
participate in it.
Wesley Villeneuve, Butlerite,
standing directly in front, and below
Tillman, asked Tillman if he had not
circulated $1,000 as corruption fund.
"Are you drunk?" inquired Tillman,
sternly.
The man became enraged, and in
vited the Governor to come off the plat
form to settle it.
The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1894-06-27
WANTED TO GET AT TILLMAN.

"Three thousand people want to
hear me speak," shouted the governor;
"shall 60 off to discuss this matter
with one fool?"
Villeneuve sprang towards the stand
and attempted to climb up, but dozen
men seized him. The crowd rose to
their feet. Chairman Keels, above the
crowd, begged for order. The Tillman-
ties yelled like byenas. The men on
the packed platform surged to the front,
and for moment it seemed that the
magazine ofangry passion must explode
and that battle would ensue.
In the meantime Villeneuve, strug-
Cling like q madman, was hurried
through the dense crowd and hustled
away.
Chairman Keels, standing on high
table, declared that the one drunken
man was alone responsible for the trou-
bis, aud that the speaking must pro-
ceed. The noise subsided as quickly as
it begau, and Tillman continued. He
characterized Buffers conduct at Cnes-
ter as disgraceful, where he declared,
three or four men had been purposely
brought to precipitate bloody riot.
"They permitted me to be cursed and
abused" he said, "but the pulsation of
my heart did not quicken, and / was
too much of q Governor to start my
fellow citizens 10 shooting each other
like dogs by resenting it there-'s"
THE PEOPLE PROTECT HIM.
He then look another hand primary
to determine whether his course was
right, and the result was the same as
that of the previous one. Tillman said
that Newhold, the Texan, was a de-
tective al Chester working up a dis
pensary burglary case-not protecting
him. The people were always his pro.
tectors, just az they had, few minutes
before, protected him against the
drunken man who tried to kill him.
Sometimes be thought be might be
assassinated by lunatic like Guiteau,
but the man who shot would go down
with him.
The Governor alluded to Butler as
that poor old fellow" and said if the
Senator really wanted harmony, he would
relieve the situation of what fl ,tion there
was by Withdrawing, and so escape the
humiliation of seeing every county in the
State 60 against him. The Governor in
sisted that Butle's shafts of malice did
not hurt him, asserting.that he had 'the
hide of a rhinoceros" and that it was
impenetrable." He bad lifted the Sena-
tors shirt and given him a hypodermic
injection.
he CALLED A SHIRT A SHIRT.
A Voice-You should not say that in
the presence OF ladies.
Tillman-Ladies know all about shirts.
They know lhow to make thems You
are in your shirt sleeves, sir, and should
have the decency to wear your coat in the
presence of ladies.

Important News From the Fleet In Bering
Sea-Several Schooners Lost.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. Important
news from the sealing fleet was brought
by the steamer Gaelic. The Winchester,
which was supposed to be lost, was the
NagasalIi with 1,5OO skins, and the
Bowhead, also supposed lost in the
gales last May, arrived with 1900
skins. The schooners Rather and Mary
II. Thomas are still missing and it is
feared they are lost. A powder explo.
sion on board the schooner Lily H.,
which badly wounded three seal hunt
ers, spoiled the vessels cruise, as she
took only 500 skins. This means a loss
to her owners, c. d. Ladd & Co., of
about $1,000.
Additional catches of sealers bring
the seasons total to SO, 900 skins. Last
seasons catch was 9S, 900, but the Ber-
ing sea season ended yesterday, so that
this will be swelled materially The
market for sealskins here is dull, as
Liebes, the chief local dealer, offers
only $3.50 outright.
