THE NEWBERRY HERALD AND NEWS. APRIL 23 1897 -

represent me. l am only advocating
the sale OF whiskey in q legitimate
manner. think it Is getting time for
! us to quit making public display of
our religion, for God knows neither one
| has moro than ho needs.
What Is tho matter with you, old
boy, were you in a trance or just talking
In your sleep when you say that Chips
Is advocating the sale Of whiskey and
denying your tigers. You may call
them tigers, lepers, painters, hyenas Or
just anything that comes handy, but l
tell yon, my old friend, they are there
and 1t Is no use OF trying to rub the
fact out Where were you when Con-
stable Gardner came down to PrOsperi-
ty about five weeks ago and arrested
Roda Chapman and Bunk Adams for
violating the dispensary law. You
must have been up In North Carolina
looking at Sal dancing with the man
with the store bought clothes on. The
next time you go off on one Of those big
trips, old bud, you get some one to
keep note for you SO you will not make
such great mistakes when you come
homo to write about Chips I reckon
you remember that Lee Akin is serv-
ing out u term on tho County chain
gang at this time for selling whiskey
at Prosperity. Now, old bud, 1 am
opposed to this illicit traffic OF whiskey
and this is why told you that it was
better to have dispensary than a
blind tiger. Now, want to toll you
that | am not hunting up blind tigers,
this is out Of my line of business, and
people don't care to make afiidavits to
things that don't concern them, espe-
cially when there is no money connect
ed. My dear old friend, if you will
just open your eyes and open your
purse to the amount Of about $50 we
will show you more than Roda, Bunk !
and Lee.
So much for Prosperity with her dis
pcnsary or no dispensary. Chips will be
perfectly satisfied just as they fix it.
We only defend what we conceive to be
right, and our position is if whiskey
has to he sold let it be sold according
to law.
Now. brother Kay, here's my hand
in fellowship Of love assuring you that
all have said has been in the best of
humor. am done now if you will let
me alone. will say to all those who
seemed to think that Chips and Kay
was Matching up a fuss you are badly
mistaken. We always meet and laugh
over our nonsense. CHIPS.

College News.

The College grounds are looking
very beautiful since spring with its
green foliage has como.
We were glad to have with us this
week Mr.. Frank Lover, one Of our
graduates. He has had good position
in Washington for somo months past.
The Capital atmosphere seems to agree
with him.
Mr.. II. G. Holloway, Of Pomaria, also
came up to see his old college friends.
We are always glad to see old friends
come around.
The seniors are beginning to pass
their final exam nations. "It is al
ways more blessed to give than to re-
ccivo. "This is a faithful saying and
worthy of all acceptation." College
boys at least think this way, especially
about examination morning.
We were glad to notice n few days
ago well-writtcn and illustrated arti-
Gle in the Atlanta paper from Mr.. G. j.
Ramagc. He is one Of our recent grad
uatcs, but is already doing honor to
himself and college.
Keep your eye on Newbcrry College.

Shoot Luke or give up your gun. 1
know that this old saying has gone tho
round; you have all heard it many
time. Now, after n long sight, Luke
has shot, and he thinks that he has
killed the bird, and says that he is
willing to give up his gun. No, Luke,
the bird is not dead you keep your gun,
you may need it again.
I have often wished for tho time to
come when mo and my old friend Kay's
troubles wcro done. He's got big
mind, and would have n big sway, pro-
vided that l would give him his way.
But you must remember, my dear old
friend, I'm one of those boys from
around the bend. I never do kick
until Pm spurred, then let 'em fly and it
doesn't matter how high.
Well, Kay, you say that Chips jump
cd on you while you were gone to At
lanta and seemed to think that it is not
fare to jump on a man in his absence.
Now, is it possible that you are trying
to hold Chips responsible for your
great big promenading in North Caro-
lima, Greenville, Atlanta, nnd gracious
knows how many other places.
No sir, whom Chips goes to write q
letter it's not his business to inquire If
Kay Is at home. 1t seems that I am
forced to have q little more to say
about that dispensary matter as you
have set me up before the public as an
| old liquor and drunken advocate.
l want to say to the good people Of
Prosperity for whom have always held
the highest regard, and people who
have always been my friends. I am not
advocating liquor shop in your town
as your honorable Kay would have it
| appear, and God forbid that l should
| ever become so meddlesOme into pri-
vatc business of any kind. No, sir,
Kay, Chips wouldn't give the snap Of
his finger whether your town has dis
pensary Or not. am only advocating
! an observance of the laws of our land,
and il you want to live up to the divine
laws, Kay, you must obey the law Of
our land.
I am not discussing the old barroom
system at all. l am discussing the
question that it Is better to sell whis-
key according to law than to sell it be-
, hind the law.
said that your town Is and always
would be supplied with whiskey in
some way or other. and think that l
| can substantiate the fact.

voted to my church or not don't mis-

THE MARE SALLY.
Case Of tho Governor Against Mr.. IL. Is.
Evans.
IThc State, 22d.1

| lThc State, I'D.
| The Sunday school story Of how the
wise King Solomon determined the
true mother Of q child to which two
women laid claim Is to be duplicated in
the circuit court today. Governor Ell
lcrbe and Major B. B. Evans will take
| the place of the two disputing women
Of the Bible story and instead of claim
ing the ownership Of baby they will
each claim 10 be the rightful and only
owner Of sOrrel mare whose gentlc
appellation is Sally. The jndge and
jury will not put an end to the case in
the brief manner Of Solomon by ORDER
ing that tho mare be cut into two equal
pieces, one to be given to Mr.. Evans
and the other to Gov. Ellerbe. They
will instead go through all the legal
forms known.
The mare, it is claimed by Mr.. Ev-
ans, was bet him against SIS by Govern
or Ellerbe that he would carry Ander-
son county in 1894 against Mr.. John
Gary Evans, his then opponent. Tho
bet was accepted and the result Is now
known. Anderson went for Mr.. Evans.
Governor Ellcrbe then gave tho mare
TO Mr.. b. b. Evans, SO he claims, in
payment Of the bet.
Governor Ellerbc, on the contrary,
says that never in his lifo has he made
bet. He only loaned the mare to Mr..
Evans to drive and that since he has
come to Columbia he asked to get her
back. This being refused he has
brought this suit against Mr.. Evans to
gain possession of what he deems his
rightful property.
The case Of w. II. Ellcrbo against B.
Is. Evans for tho possession Of the
mare, 'Sally," which both lay claim
to, was called at 6 o'clock yesterday
evening in the circuit court. The gov
crnor was present when the court an
nounced that the case would be taken
up. Major B. b. Evans entered soon
after, accompanied by his friend, Cen
eral Watts.
The faces Of the lawyers wore an cX-
pectant look when the principals to
the suit entered. Mr.. Abney, repre-
scnting Mr.. Evans, asked that the case
be postponed until this morning at 10
: clock, AZ a material witness living !
out OF the State was absent aud could |
be gotten .lerc no sooner. He also an
nouEced that Colonel Ioumans had |
been associated with him for the de-
fcnse.
To this Mr. Barron, representing
Gov. EIlcrbc, replied that the plaintiif
was ready and he hoped the jury would
be cmpanclcd and other preliminary
work completed in the evening to ena-
blc the court to begin with the tcsti-
lnony tlis morning. Mr.. Abney made |
further objection to this and the court |
agreed to postpone the case until this |
as it was near the time Of ad-
)ournmcnt.

THE TURKO.aRECIAS WAR.


We deprecate war and with st. Paul
would prefer, If possible, to live IN
poace, because, as General Sherman
saws, "war is hell" There Is no doubt
OF that. 1t is self-evident PROPOSE
tion and it has broken loose between
the Turk and the Christian-the cres-
cent and the cross-and it Is the wish
of the followers OF Mahomet to wipe
the followers of the Prince OF Peace
from Off the earth.
It did seem, until recently, that pa
triotism had "playcd" and was passing
along with hero worship. But the
spirit of Lconidas has returned to the
Pass of Thermopylae-this time against
Islam, and the splendid valor of Mara
thon again displayed in the rout OF the
Turkish invader. 1t is we'll that lur"
kew Is the aggressor! There has becn
O. presentiment among the Turks ana
long since passed into legend, to the
effect that since they cut their bloody
pathway into the heart OF Europe the
time would come when they would
"loave their mosques ard minarots ana
fee the Bosphorus and the Golden
Horn" Is that hour approaching?
The Truk might have remained IN
Europe unmolested had he not persist
emily carried out his creed OF extlrm1n-
ating the Christian "dog!'
But for Turkish bonds placed In Eu-
rope, and the jealous rivalrics OF the
so.callcd leading Christian nations, the
deplorablc and unblushing spectacle OF
"thrones and presses" and combined
nayies ceercing Greece, might never
have been witnessed. But it has gone
into history, and, with it the fact that
Greece, the smallest kingdom, Is TO all
intents and purposes, at present inc
only leading Christian nation In Eu-
rope!
The sophistry Of those who declared
that intervention for peace might pre-
cipitate greater trouble, is disproved
by the quiet but determined action or
England's great premier, MIR. Glad
stone, in 1880, when with help OF the
then Car of Russia, Turkey was forced
to disgorge some of her stolen terri
tory without war. General Grant n'7
said that there was never a war that
might not have been averted and endeo
some other way.
The war is on, however. and none
can really tell whether it snaI! be OF
long or short duration. The powers are
IN souo measure COMPOUNDED by their
own vacillation. and it IS not impossl-
ble that cntangling difficulties might
arise to bring about a conragratlon o.
war, There are many questions IN
yolved in what is known as the Eastern
is grand tanglc-and the
nrescnt trouble may lead to an at
temp,ed unwinding with far-reachlng
There is one phase OF the question
involving possible contingencies OF m
terest TO us andthat is our productions
In the event OF war Europe Will make
very large drafts upon US for food sup
plies. England is never more thah TWO
weeks ahead OF want and the seasons
and crops are not altogether reliable.
II ia we'll TO consilcr these things. a
European war will produce a large de-
mand for bread and meat and not Tor
cotton. And the food lost on the forty
thousand farms of the inundated sec
tions OF the west together with
million bushels of grain burned at chi
cago, help TO lessen the years supply
Let us plant largely OF cora.
