What Shall We Do"

The Evening News departs from its usual
dlgnified course in dealing with the Clemson
College affair.
We know nothing of the merits OF the ques-
tious at issue, but we do not believe there are
contempt ours in Clemson College. nor
do we believe there are in that Institution
"any child OF the devir' or any "emissary
of hell"
All these are strong terms Whlch we are
sorry to see in any newspaper
We do not believe that "any un.
worthy wretch" has received the favors of
the Trustees Of Clemson College.
But the question really at issue is ques-
tion of veracity between Mr.. F. II. McMaster
and the College people, and whether Mr.
McMaster should give the names ofhis infor-
mants on whose statements certain articles
were written.
No man who knows Fitz Hugh McMaster
will doubt his truthfulness or integrity, ana
so that part OF the question can be dismissed.
The question about which there may be
difference Of opinion is, whether McMaster
should give the names of his informants.
We should say that he should not
give the names. AS journalist ne can
not afford to give the names. He need not
give the names as a defense OF himself He
needs no defense.
But we are sorry to see in another part OF
the Evening News the following paragraph: :
Mr.. F. H. McMaster stated in the Cover
nor's office, in the presence Of several gentle
men, that he had received letters from his
informants at Clemson College In Whlch one
for my sake, and the sake of my loved ones:
don't give my name" From another: u
was present at the mass meeting and den led
having furnished you the Information, oe.
cause when gave 1t to you 1t was in strict
confidence, and did not know you were
reporter" While these may not be the exact
words, the substance is correct.
This. according to our way of thinking re-
veals the only shadow over McMaster's &C
tion.
1t seems that he published matters which
were told him in "strict confidence" when
his informant did not know he was a re-
porter"
Asa newspaper man should not give the
name of his informant, SO he should not pub
lish that which he receives in confidence.
In publishing facts which were impaired In
confidence he did wrong.
But because q man hears news in conf
dence is no reason why the news should not
be published If he previously or afterward
learn the same thing from some one else.
He can publish the news based on the infor.
nation received Of others.
Sometime reporter is not justified in Civ
ing the source Of his information. If he re-
ceive 1t in "strict confidence" he IS not justi.
fled in publishing such. information. He can
run it down and learn it from another source,
and then publish 1t.
Just you keep silent, Mr.. McMaster. Let
an investigation prove whether the alleged
facts exist at Clemson. Nobody doubts your
veraclty.

"The CoIored Race in the.South.';


We see in the Sunny South a most inter-
esting article by Walter l.. Miller, ESQ.,, Of the
Abbeville Bar. on the above subject.
He sees in the race, great progress, indus
trially and financially, and says the same is
true of their growth in education. He be.
lieves also that they have made great prog
ress In morals and religion. He seems to dis
approve of Northern intervention in poll
tics as between the whites. and blacks In the
South.
To all OF the above we fully agree.
But when he talks of the negroes inditfer-
ence in political matters. aud when he thin ks
that the negro has abated one jot or one title
of his political hatred of the white man, we
think the recent election would refute the
intlmation.
We see no reason why the negro should not
progress in education. At a liberal ana ialr
estimate the white people of this county have
contributed for their education about one
hundred thousand dollars since emancipation
The utter and absolute folly of that eXpen'
diture by the white people is proven by the
fact that they voted solidly against the Dem
ocratic party in the election last week, the
said Democratic party being composed OF the
white people who have contributed SO much
to their education.
We deny that the negroes are disposed to
divide. or to side with the best element OF
South Carolina, unless it is contended that
the negro Repub blicans, the white Scallawags
and the Boilers from the Democratic party are
1.-The best people,"
Mr. Miller's Is most interesting contribu-
ton to the volume of literature on thread
bare subject.

Ninety-six and the Registration Book.

Upon examining the Registration book for
Nnety-Six precinct, we find in the same
book with three blank sheets after the names
of the voters of Ninety-SIx precinct, the
names OF the "Voters from White Hall, who
vote at Nine-ty-Six precinct"
The Registrar, in compliance with the
requirements Of law gave citizens o.
White Hall township tickets to vote
at Ninety-SiX. Their names were entered
separately from the names Of the citizens OF
Ninety-Six precinct. Because OF the failure
OF the managers TO see the list OF "voters from
White Hail." their votes were refused. Be-
cause OF that refusal the Ninety-six box was
thrown out by the County Board OF Canvas
sers.
And so this is all there Is in all this
great hullabullo about the registration books.
There is no ground for any attempt to make
capital against most faithful officer. Regis
trar Carwlle did his duty, and tried to accom-
modate the voters Of White Hall in giving
them tickets to vote at Ninety-Six, as they de-
sired, and no blame should attach to the man
ayers for their oversight. This is one Of those
occurrences that sometimes happen, and for
which no one is especially censurable.

A VIGOROUS KICK.
From Liverpool Against the Ameri.
can Method OF Packing Cotton.

New York. Aug. 23.-The Liverpool Cotton
Association, the autocrat Of the cotton world,
has entered strong objection to the Amerl-
Jan method of packing cotton. A letter was
received to-day by Superintendent Powers of
the Cotton Exchange from the secretary OF
the Liverpool organization stating that the
association had passed a resolution that after
the expiration Of the coming season OF 1896
all bales not packed In accordance with the
regulations OF the maritime convention held
In New Orleans last February and the resolu-
tions OF the Galveston Cotton Exchange, es-
pecially so far as the weight, closeness of
weaving. calendering OF bagging and weight
and size OF bands are concerned, shall be SUBJ
Iect to penalty of five pounds bale. The
latter adds that sufficient time is given for
manufacturers to dispose OF the old style can
vas and ties, and the penalty will be strictly
enforced.
The New Orleans resolution provided that a
bale should be twenty-eight inches box
width and fifty-eisht inches box length,
and all compressed bales have minimum
ship-side density Of twenty five pounds to the
cubic foot.

allowance for unknown conditions.

Small Beginnings

Make great endings sometimes. Ailments that we are apt to consider trivial often grow, through neglect, into atrocious maladies, dangerous in themselves and productive of others. is the disregard of the earlier indications of i'll health
 which leads to the esta blishment of all sorts of maladies on a chronic
 basis. Moreover, there are certain disorders incident to the season, such as malaria and rheumatism, against which 1t is always desirable to fortify the system after exposure to the conditions which produce them. Cold damp and miasma are surely counteracted by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. After you have incurred risk from these influences, a wineglassful or two of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters directly afterward should be swallowed. For malaria, dyspepsia, liver complaint, kidney and bladder trouble, nervousness and debility it is the most deserv- edly popular of remedies and pre- ventives. A wineglassful before meals promotes appetite.

Prospecting " ell.

R. M. Strauss, who has charge of the development work now be- ing done on the Thomas group of mines in the old Gila City range of mountains, was in town Tuesday and ordered a four-horse load of provisions for the camp.
 The ore is holding its extreme richness in gold as depth is ob- tained. It is now thought by those competent to judge that this mine will prove one of the best and richest mines ever discovered in Arizona. We are reliably in- formed that the parties in Cali fornia who have bonded 1t for $150,000 will surely take it.
 If the sale is conSumated MT. Strauss will make a snug little fortune, for it will be due to lis energy that the mine was bonded, and Recorder NJ. L. Pool will get a cool $5C00 for being the first one to interest himself in the enter prise and get Mr. Strauss to get capitalists interested.

The squavv and ETer. BaDy,

A few mornings since just as the sun was coming up those who get up early had the good fortune to see something not often witnessed on our streets. Crossing the va cant lot at the corner of Second and Main streets could be seen a squaw barefooted and bareheaded.
 There would have been nothing strange in this sight had not the squaw been arrayed in a beautiful dark blue silk skirt and waist of white and rich material; resting in her arms baby and raised over It's head a silk parsOl to protect 1t from the morning rays of the all ready scorching sun. The mer- chants came out from their places of business as also did their clerks to look at strange sight. Wishing to see the face of the infant we overlook the squaw, and peering into the little innocence face we weresurprised to see that it's feat ures were clear cut and the face that of a handsome baby. It was dressed in the latest fashion. The squaw paid no attention to our impertinent gaze, but continued on her way at the same rate of speed and with eyes straight to the front.
 We heard a number of O Id timers say they had never before seen Yuma squaw arrayed in that man. ner, and as the apparition disap- peared down Madison avenue, we soliloquized: "How long will It be before the Yuma squaw will don boomers, curl her hair, wear an opera hat and high heeled shoes"

 He was taken to Florence to be tried in the U. s. court on another charge of horse stealing committed on the San Carlos reservation prior to his arrest and sentence 8 year ago.
