Views the Matter.

Views the Matter.
By request, we publish the follow
ing from rue Charleston Mail in rela-
ton to the controversy between
Speaker Edwards aud Mr.. c. B. Hart,
editor Of the Wheeling Intelligencer:
The morning session Of the House
Of Delegates contained one sensation
al feature.
After the business on the calendar
had proceeded to the point where res
olutions were in order Speaker Ed
wards called Mr.. Clark, of UpsFur, to
the chair, and that gentleman went
down into the hall of the House and,
rising to question of personal priv
ilege said:
"Mr. Speaker, rise to a question
Of the highest personal privilege /
desire the Clerk to read that portion
ofthe article from the journal. which
shall send to the desk, and in con-
nection ask the adoption by this
House Of the resolution which accom-
panies the paper
The House knew at once what was
coming, and it was on the qui vive.
What the article contains, as read
by the clerk, is from the Inteiligencer
of the date of the 5th inst, and is as
follows:
1.-THE ACTION DENOUNCED.
"The Speaker had packed the CON-
mittee in their interest, had got the
report he wanted and now resorted to
these bold tactics to pull the Hyde
book through after the House had
turned it down This action is being
denounced tonight by every fair mind
ed man. Some Delegates who voted
for Hyde's book, have declared that
they will change their votes and go
the other way, as protest against the
indecent action of the Chair"
THE RESOLUTION.
The resolution as read by the Clerk
is as follows;
Whereas the Wheeling lntelligen-
Ger in its issue of FEBRUARY s. 1893,
makes deliberate charges impugniug
the honor of this House, of its Com
mittee on Education and its Speaker
And whereas said article in said
Intelligencer is signed &C. B. H.,
who is known to be c. Burdette Hart,
one of the editors and proprietors Of
said newspaper; now therefore, be it
Resolved, By the House of Delegates
Of West Virginia, that said charges SC
made are false and an insult to this
/ House, its committee on Education and
its Speaker and an outrage that it re-
sents.
Resolved further, That this House
hereby censures the said c. B. Hart.
for the writing and publishing of said
false statements and expresses its full
est confidence in the integrity oil
the Speaker and its committee.
The Speaker, pro tenn, Mr.. Clark
put the question on the adoption Of
the resolution, and the affirmative vote
was decisive and vigorous. Upon a
call for the negative small handful
in the Democratic section voted very
weakly.
The entire affair took up about three
minutes of the time of the House, and
the Speaker returned to the chair. took
up the gavel and the business of the
session proceeded in its own even ten
or
But it was a vigorous, timely, and
effective rebuke of unfair and entirely
ungentlemanly newspaper criticism.
During the consideration of the
resolution Mr.. Hart sat quietly back
near the cloak room door and must
have been deeply interested in the
deliberation.

The Red Lans Road, Again.

Mr. Editor:
In your issue Of the 18th July, see two
communications from Taxpayer" aad J. B.
Rafield, in which charges Of extravaganza
and useless expenditure Of county funds was
made The parties charged have failed to
deny or explain this matter If there are no
grounds for these charges it seems to me that
Messrs Philips and Spann should answer. as
they have been placed in an awkward posi-
tion by these parties. Their silence makes it
appear to those who know nothing of this
matter that the charges are well founded, and
that they should explain, as they are servants
of the people and should give an account of
their stewardship. Ii the charges a,e un-
true and cannot be sustained, then those max
ing the charges should oe treated with the
con tempt that they deserve. But if, on the
other hand, said charges can be sustained, it
would be well for the County Board to in-
vesugate these charges and try and prevent
a repetition of such extravagant and frsudu-
lent expenditure of county funds, and to
keep this matter out Of the courts. If this
matter was reported to the Grand Jury at
the last term OF court, it is TO be presumed
that with more light it will be reported at
the next term of court, and Sumter county
will be placed in the unpleasant situation
that Aiken county was some time back.
hope that those 10 authority will look
into this matter and satisfy themselves and
the public as to the truth or falsity Of he
charges preferred. FAlRPLAy.

Mrs. Rivers lives seven or eight miles from

and can see without glasses. Her MAD is
clear, her hearing toerably good AID one

pass for about IS years of age. II is DOT

it is wonderful how we'll preserved she is.

Weekly Weather Crop
Bulletin
For South Carolina.

COLUMBIA, 5. G., August b, 1898.
The temperature was much lower
than usual during the middle OF the
week, especially in the interior of
the State The nights were particu-
larly cool in the extreme western
counties. The average temperature
was two degrees per day cooler than
the usual. The highest temperature
reported was 9S on July 31st at
Spartauburg the lowest SO on the
I'd at Central The mean tempera-
ture of the week for the State was IS,
and the normal for the same period
is approximately 80.
With unimportant exceptions, the
entire rainfall for the week fell on the
evening of the Sd and during the 4th.
Saturday and Sunday 1t was in-
sufficient in the counties where most
needed. and was excessive in Beau
fort County where the fall was heav-
lest. generally more than four inches.
The weeks rainfall varied from
"trace" to half an inch in Chester

Fairfield, Kershaw. Richland. Spar
tanburg, Greenville, Union, Laurens,
AbbeviIle, Anderson, Newberry and
Lexington in Pickens. Aiken,
oraugeburg. Sumter, Clarendon,
Edgefeld, Marlboro, Darlington and
Hampton the fall varied between
half an inch and two inches; in
Williamsburg, Charleston, Horny,
Barnwell. Berkeley, Colleton, Beau
fort the rainfall amounted generally
to from two to four inches. Thus it
is seen that the droughty conditions
have been intensified in the western
and northern counties, while the
southeastern portion of the State has
an excess of moisture The greatest
rainfall reported was 450 inches at
Beaufort least "trace" at Chester
field. The average of II rainfall
reports was l.04 inches and the nor
NAL for the same period is approx
mately l.6S.
The sunshine varied between SO
and 100 per cent. of the possible,
with an average of about 62, which
is nearly normal.
There were local high winds in
