II was the disposition Of the managers
Of the Wheeling Park to have their
grand opening yesterday, to be signal
lzed by a concert by the full strength OF
the opera House brass band. II had
been so ordered by the powers that be- !"

and when even some OF the officials OF
the park walked around the streets Sat-
urday night with collars Of their winter
overcoats turned up around their ears
they concluded that concert in open
air was something that had no attrae-
ton for those who had yet laid aside
their winter underwear. Thus 1t was

on.

how futile sometimes IL the persp!cacity

the park yesterday as consequence was
free, and the crowds that passed
through the gates and dispersed them
selves through the grateful shades and
powered walks OF the domain was sur

Easter Sunday weather was something
extraordinary. II was an Ideal day.
Towards 3 o'clock IN the afternoon the
temperature in the park was as pleas

however, is hlndsIght. IL 4 had only
been known-5ut that is another story.

Whether the result of Yesterdays

in favor OF accepting the reduction OF
10 per cent, and the other against such

the expense OF an enforced Idleness, and

IRBY'S CLAp-TRAP.

Candidate Irby is endeavoring to
make capital out OF the Watts repri-
mand episode, and in our opinion in
stead of making capital he is making
spectacle of himself. Suppose Gov
ernor E!lcrbe showed partiality in
refusing 70 leprimand the general,
what has that to do with McLaurin S
fitness for the United States Senate?
If Governor Ellerbe Disseminated
against the "privates, does that make
Colonel Irby the proper man to rep
resent South Carolina IN the United
States Senate?
Now, what are the facts? \ court
of inquiry made certain recommends
tons, and the Governor car
ried out those recommends
tons as far as his jurisdiction per
mitted him. The dismissal OF ore
private and the reprimanding Of
another was carried out and when it
came to General Watts the Governor
approved the findings and referred
the matter to the General Assembly,
the only body which has any power
to treat with General Watts. The
fact Of Governor EIlcrbe approving
the findings was severe reprimand
and de:e0cy forbade him going any
further. If Governor Ellerbe had
done as Colonel Icby would have the
people believe he would have done,
he would have watched lis chance,
caught Watts in some public place
and there administered Il reprmand
made up OF vile oaths. Ellerbe IS g
gentleman and he treated the matter
il the only way decent man should.
He was without authority to remove,
hence, was without authority to rep
rimard and that the courts findings
should meet with the proper consid-
GRAFTON, lie refers the findings to the
General Assembly.
Strange as it may appear, Irby,
from Watts own County, and a pro
