Although the night was very
stormy and disagreeable the house
was comfortably filed to witness
the somewhat antiquated but ever
popular play. The characters were
well assigned and each role credit
ably filled and protrayed to the
satisfaction of the audience. Ed
ward Murphy, as Joe Morgan"
the inebriate did exceedingly we'll
and Miss Flora Mcintyre, as Mrs.
Morgan gave splendid conception
Of the role assigned her. G. w.
Chapman, as sSimon Slade" acted
very we'll but bis voice was weak
and unsuited to the character.
"Dick" Maloney, Austin Foss and
JAS. Sharp played their parts well.
G. d. stancell, as Roman" did
very we'll, and Sadie Benner

Drainage Law.

The grand jury at the instance of
many persons recommended that all
streams be cleared'of obstruction with
in th:SIIat.lys and that owners failing
be tha1ndicted. If the county Super
visor fails to indict, then the Grand
Jury will proceed against this officer
by indictment. Recognizing the diff
culties surrounding the Supervisor, who
desires to do his duty they recommend
ed that the court order an Inspector
to his assistance, to survey the streams
and procure evidence against the par
ties in default. Here is the difficulty
the court could not order an Inspector
employed as there is no provision in
the law for 1t. The people must testify
in court as in other cases of violating
the law, If they expect redress. Let
those interested, and the majority of
the people are, apply to the Legisla-
ture to authorize the Supervisor to an
ploy an Inspector at an expense not to
exceed q specified sum and the law can
be carried out. In the meanwhile the
Judge cannot order q dollar paid ex-
cept as provided by law. The Legisla-
ture convenes soon and our people
whose health and fields are affected
should see our Representatives and
make known their wishes. The law
has but one leg to stand on now and a
crutch. Amend it at once.

In the interesting whitewashing de-
bate OF last Thursday, in the Conven-
tlon Senator Ttllman savagely attacked
the meek and lowly Conservatives who
hold seats in that body. He was called
to order for supplementary language
by Talbert, who held the gayel. Tho
Senator made the necessary apologies
afterhe had sufficiently, displaced the
mirth (and) broke the good meeting,
with most admired disorder" Tho
poor condemned conservatives sub
mitted written apologies for their neg
alive votes on the Patterson resolves.

LAURENs, s. G., Sept. "a, 1895.


The big battle over the name of the
new county carved out OF the sacred
soil OF Edgefield was fought out on
Saturday the 14th Of September. The
name was recorded 'Butler" with the
Hon. G.. ID. Tillman, brother of Benia-
min, as Godfather. Benjamin had OBJ
tanned leave of absence and 1t was DUR
ing his furlough that the infanta was
christened. While the cats are away
the mice will play. Monday the 10th
Benjamin returned to his desk and pro-
ceeded at once to kick up o mighty
rumpus, claiming that q personal in
jury and insult had been put upon him
by the convention, reformers and con-
~servatives, in baptizing the county. He
aoot the floor and Hourished the party
whip with a vengeance, hectoring the
whole lay out, thrashing all around
and about, putting his stripes indiscrim-
inately, finally dropping from the high
tragic to the lachrymose and shedding
tears OF anguish upon the altar of Re-
form. He bitterly cried aloud that no.
body had rebuked his brother George,
who had said in his speech that he
prayed God that the State might have
as successor to General Butler his
equal, but he doubted if she should be
so fortunate. In the teeth of this, to
name a county "Butler" was an outrage
to Benjamin. There was rout, riot and
confusion worse COMPOUNDED, the
Prnoflnnt IF tho ,Noroo, ~--.
fore and aft for the Edgeield Senator,
When there was q mighty stampede to
the ~ringpaster by reformers and q few
conservatives and it's name became
Saluda. Gongressman Wilson and
Senator Irby right manfully resented
the irate gentleman's disposition to
whip them into the pack. Irby stood
to his vote and gave to Tillman in his
teeth that the name Butler would sur
vive when that of Tillman would be in
oblivion.
The whole thing would be ridiculous
were 1t not disgraceful,-in this, that
men sent to represent q decent consti-
tuency, who had solemnly performed
an act Of important organic legislation
but two days before, at the lash and
bidding OF q spoilt whimperer were
driven like poor ours to rescind their
action. oh, the pity that the IN of
the repentant reformers and frightened
mugwumps who changed their votes,
must be recorded in the days journal
and be a permanent record of their
bringing servility. That there is no
way to re-write or obliterate the re-
cord, that must come to the eyes and
ears of their children.
Conservatives had little to do with
the wrangle, to their great credit
Some of those so classed, alarmed at
the noise and rattle, changed their
votes, but truly rated they are only
half-breeds.

RebnkIng the estate, Newspaper.

When the liberty OF the Press is
gone all other liberty is dead. The
State was right in printing Its view of
Gov. Evans ruling on the saluda ques-
ton. The resolutions passed by the
convention r mere sound and fury
and do not vindicate President Evans.
The evidence is In and the facts are
out. The verdict will be made up by q
bigger Nody than the little convention,
and Goyernor-President Evans must
at last abide that verdict. The States
voice and the voices of u multitude of
witnesses will ring out The State, too,
must be its own Judge of the proprieties.

Convention Proceedings.

A petition from the county commits
sioners OF Laurens County was pre-
sented by Mr.. Irby, praying the Con-
vention to enact such a clause in the
Constitution as shall require all trial
justices to sentence petty offenders
convicted by them to the chain gangs
in the various counties. And that all
teams, horses, mules and wagons be
made liable to road duty.
This is matter for pure legislation
and ought not to cucumber the consti-
tuition. Put such matters in the consti-
tuition and they will trouble us should a
change be desired.

Irby County.

Our Laurens compatriots have caught
the epidemic and want q new county
carved out of Laurens, embracing
Hunter, Jacks and part of Scufietown
and Gross Hill Townships. Clinton is
to be the Court House, a laudable am
bition. We will only take occasion to
say that the hundred court houses in
London Town don't make up that bust
ness center and one in o thousand of the
Inhabitants can't locate where the Lord
Chief Justice makes his rulings. When
q town gets to be a town indeed the
court house is usually the smallest con-
Germ In 1t. We want our county solid
as 1t is-it Is small and we'll bounded
and convenient to tn people. Let the
noble people of Clinton build their cot
ton mill and other industries grow in
magnitude and we will rejoice in their
growth and development. No objections
to the name.
