Wednesday June 8. - - - 1898 XO HIXX THIS TIME. Last week we hinted to ?orrespondents in tha so-called militia contro' A ?1,3 fa Soto versy mat we wuuiu ue them end the controversy, anS we before that ihe public desired an end to the communications as ranch as we did. Now we desire to say that we hint no longer. The controversy has become intensely and offensively personal, and any farther article sent to this office on the subject will be returned to the author if accompanied with postage, otherwise it will be destroyed. If correspondents desire to attack each other, and not their views about public questions, it must be done through the mails, or face to face, or in any way they see proper, but it can not be done through this newspaper. We never take sides in a controversy of this kind, bat. in fairness, wj may say that, in our opinion, a canvass of the political faith of the volunteers will show tbatia numerical numbers neither of the former political factions in this State has any decided advantage and certainly nothiug to boast | about. Aside from this, the vital j question iust now is, how the State is | going to furnish its quota of vulun-j teers. It needs them, and needi them badlyS and it is no time to talk about what should be their political complexion. Let us rise to tbe importance of ths occasion, and stop our little quarrels among eurselve?,. Even a partisan body like Congress has laid atide politics, aor pat ewrntry, lor the time being at iffest, above politics. State ba? a repatetioa fco eustaiB, a?d TiilmanUcs and Ceaisrvatives *.- have alike contributed to the making of that reputation. Let tiiem alike sanain it. If we shall fail by reason of a little bickering arisiag oat of local politics, how imail it would make as in the eyas of the rest of this great coontry. Be done with it! Ws have reeeived a communication from Mr. D. L. Carter in reply to Major Woodward's last communication. As Mr. Carter does not get the Tri-Weekly, he no doubt had not seen that we had put an end to this controversy. It may appear an injastice to Mr. Carter not to puwisn ins article, but as we have determined to stop it somewhere, the beginning point mast be made wiih some one. In viow of one feature in Major Woodward's article, a statement that Mr- Carter is not the author of the article, signed 00^ _^>^_J^rriTate G. B. H.," should be made. Mr. Carter makes this declaration in his article, and we may state here that ??/* ?? ?>io anthrtr. \fr. Carter iiU 19 UVk iUW MMVMV* ? ? - ? thinks that Major Woodward has grossly insukei him and demands an apology through News, axd Herald. This is the substance of bis article, and now we most insist once core that no farther personal attacks will be permitted through this paper. It is reported that Governor Ellerbe's friends are trying to have him appointed a Brigadier, General. Now why? What military .record has he? "What peculiar qualifications has he to. 8erv?in this capacity? Considerable complaint-has bceajmade io some of the northern States that civilians have been appointed by the Piesideut to very important military positions be-1 cause either they themselves or their fathers or some ancestor had a pal), and we hope that the President will not carry this policy into the South. It is always gratifying to see a southern man honored by the Federal Government, but we believe in the eternal fitness of things. With the kindest feelings towards our Governor, we do not think such an important military office should be entrusted to j him. Hislrienas are not only aoiog him injustice, bat if successful they will hare done a great injustice to the soldiers who may be . ander him. Politics should hare nothing to do with tfeo cenduex of this war, and the mta fact that he is Goreraor does not male* him competent. There are f>:eaty ?f experienced soldiers. Give the positions to them. a a The whole State wiil fee glad that Cel. Allston's full regiment has been completed. He left his basinets to join th? army, and for about a month he has given his service without any ^ pay. The company has bee* taken from Major Thompson's battalion, and a cosnpanv will have to be found for Major Thompson. While Col. Allstona, friends will rejoice that he has been aworn in, everybody must admire the graceful manner in which Major Thoupson surreudered his company. Fortuca-ely Major Thompson has been regaiarly sworn is, and of course will draw bis pay. His condact has been inch, however, 'hat a strong and special effort onght to be made to sopply him with the missing company. In Xew York tbey are having a great deal of raio. Says they World: Uncounted thousands stood surprised, started, silent. As if responding to -some great general's command their eyes turned in one direction? fix?dt dilated. There, in the dun cap of heaven, where custom had taught them to look for but varying density of mist, before their astounded gaze swung a strange, great, brilliant orb. Some fell upon their knees and worshipped; others silently gave themselves. up to ecftacy; one, :he oldest among them all, his gratified vision -? ? ?nu i c ? aimmeu wiui ic&is ui rrjuitiu^, oam, "It is the snn!"

IUnahan t had a list of those in Fairfield who f wanted to volunteer, wrote to him to | know if he could not send down some 5 men to nake out Col. Allston's 12th 1 company. The oi5c?r? of this company will be Capt. Carroll, of Aiken, j 1st Lieut. I. L. Withers, of Colombia, ] and 2nd Lieut. O'Brien, of Charleston. I Mr. Withers states ttot arrangement! 1 be made for transporting the men to Colombia, and care will be taken | of them after thiy reach there. i Some inside information points to ' tbe fact thrt the regiment from this State goes iuto Lee's Division, and , will be sent to assist in tbe capture of i Porto Rico. Mr. Withers Is a Fairfield man, and from our knowledge of hi a he wou'd make a cool, brave officer, and what i? abool as important an officer of I fine jaclgment. Sinca the letter jast mentioned was written, a company has been tekeo from Major Thompson's battaiion to complete the regiment, bat the battalion needs a company. Will Fairfieid not assist in forming it? Maj>r j Thompson is not only a good officer, I bat a polished gentleman and we believe that Fairfield boys would fiod I iiim a very acceptable officer. Mr. H&nahan has no list, but we j have no donbt there is plenty of material in the county. Lieut. Hobsox's sinking the Merrimac in Santiago harbor was a heroic act, and it is gratifying to know that he is n Sou hern man. Hi9 ancestors are of good North Carolina stock, and he hioself is a son of Alabama. Out I of the three heroes of this war, Dewey, Bagley, and Hob3on, the South claims two. It is reported that Bryan'a regiment will te sent to the Phillipiue Iilands, and it has been suggested that the war will be prolonged to reiire him as a candidate in the next campaign. Capt. Sigsbee seem? to be a man of bad lack. On the Maine, his ship was blown up; on the St. Paul, hi* ship was disabled. The ^Spaniards don't like Sigsbee, evidently. CHILDREN'S' DAY AT A>U?GH 6HURCH, IiLAOKSX0CK CIKCFBT, Mr. Editor: At the request q/ the pastor, I herein give jour readers a shorl account of Children*' Day, at Autiach Church, Blackstock circuit, Rev. P. B. Ingram in charge, j The 21?t inst., which was chosen as the day for the exercises, dawned on as beautiful and br'ght; and as old Sol rose in the heavens the day grew hot. The heat, however, was mitigate^ to a small extent, by a gentle breeze, and to a considerabb extent, by the thoughtfulncss and liberality of Hon. John G. Wolling, who kept a barrel filled with pure ice water, and conveniently placed near by in the shade. Enclosed, the writer has the pleasure ofsenaiog you a copy of the C(Childreo!fi_D-*y flarvica", ?wp--plement, as published, at Nashville, by the agents of the Methodist Episcopal Church South for ttie use of the Sunday Schools evervwhere within its bounds. He does this, that yon I may see, for yourself, that the program is elaborate; and, if carried out in full and perfectly, would afford ' entertainment and instruction to old 1 1 - ? Tii- ~ 1D1 yOUD2( iillKt!> -LUC ivilbci luiuau he can safely say tLat Bro. Woliing, i the superintendent of ih< Sunday J School, has every reason to be prond 1 of this, his first attempt to carry ont the program of Children's Day. For the song service, the most difficult part of the program, he had the assistance of Mrs. D. 0- Anderson, } the organist, and teacher of music iu , the Feasterville school; as also the aslistance of Prof. Anderson, of whose i ecnool the children of the Sunday ] school composed the larger portion, j As the object of these exercises i? to interest and instruct the children, their parents, and visitors, ^e fee! J quite safe in saying that this ???? wa= i successfully accomplished, j Iging from the results as evidenced hi the smiling, happy faces of both old and you?g. The writer heard but one 1 sentiment, expressed in the words, i "flow well the children have done, ] especially in their singing; and what \ ? A? ? ? ? am'awa/) Kin /Acr-vr *n 4Ka S ITCtt'v VTO TB oujuycu mio -jay IU IUU service, the supplement, the dinner, ( and our social intercourse!" According: to the program, the first address in order was that of ths pastor, Rev. P. B. Ingram, of Blackstock. Those ot us who know him as a speaker were ready to enjoy his inimitable talk from the objeet-subjscl, "A Lead Pencil." We wish you could have heard him, Mr. Editor, and given a synopsis of his address in your pager for the benefit of the boys and girls' and the parent* of Fairfield County. I cannot do so in this repert. He speabs with vie* and energy as if he has something to say and knows how to say it. His address was both amusing (as should be the case on such an occasion, and on a hot day) and instructive. I wish each boy and each girl and each parent in all our noble old State eonld have heard it. The boy or girl who listened and who was not stimulated to noble moires nas a nzina, as yet, anawaK-1i ened to the possibilities that lie in bis 11 pathway; and tbe parent wbo hear" and was not aroused to tbe determina-f tion to give his boy or girl every t chance, is not worthy the name of \ parent, aud ought never to have been blessed with children. Tbe next address in order was from tbe superintendent of the-Sunday i SGhool, Hon. John G. Wolftfig, oar c representative, a prominent man in the community, a faithfal steward of t Antioch Church, and a useful man t generally, lie has a very winning way about him and a voice to mat:b g it. All of us wbo know of bis good ? ponca on/1 hio rrroQ( IrtVA fnr VVUXIUVU Ot-uco ?UVi UIQ givuv ivvy AV* his Sunday School, were prepared te c hear just the poimed, practical talk a be gave the childrea, parents and vi3i- i tors. v As there was no ?tier address on the program Prof. Anderson requested c the privilege of a five minutes talk to e the children, mcsl of wbom were his a day pupils. He had presented the c children with a banner, in the ceatre of which there was a pure white in- 5 clined eross, aud above and below thi3, aLeo in white letters, on a dark gSP?und was ih* <tuot*tk>n, "In thi? si^n you wi'l conquer,*1 generally writien in Latio, "In hoc signo vicces." Prof. Anderson first asked ? ? ?? ? ? ? - ? J 3 U: rtA V??"*r"rr ^i-v flf/% m ii anyuue cjiuu ieu mm uv\* w i about constructing or dra>ing a ' cross (tbe"6igu") a? he iiad done of white paper; cind what were the rales as to the proportions of its relative I parts. Securing no answer te his lues'tion, he explained the rale of neasuremcnt for the different por;ions of a perfect cross, impressing heir importance, in drawing or conitructing this "sign." He then asked . f anyone would tall him the legend )r story of the quotation; and reeeirng no respense ne proceeded to relate :he facts as obtained from history. ? ' ?--a alt mis Dainrauy leu iu a >uvi . ibout Constumine, the first Christian Roman emp;ror, and his inlaence. As the story relates, he heard these famous words in a vision, or dream; and he had them woven into thestandardsof the Roman irray as their watehword. So each b?y and girl w?.s exhorted to weave them into the standard be was bearing aloft in the battle of Life. From the "Feast of Reason" we pass to the "Flow of Soul" in the shape of a basket picnic dinner spread oat upon a table, furnished by Bro. Wolling-, jest in rear of the church building. It would occupy too much lime and lake too much of your valuab'e space to say all that might be said about the dinner. He does know whereof he affirms when he declares thai the ladies of this community know how to minister to the wants of the inner-man in the shape of bread, buiseuit, ham, fried chicken, pickle6, and "the sich and the like" that stay on the bottom phelf cf the capboard, while the cuslards, cakes, pies, aid 'the sich and the like" that stay on the top shslf of the cnpb?ird have left no words on our tongue, bat have left a lingering agreeable taste on o*r palate. The crowd was order!}', and the writer "shoo'd" only two do?3 from under the table. Whether the writer, with the "parson'g nose" of a fat, y?un? rooiter, together with all that goes with that choice from a fowl, or Bro. Ingraham, with his plate of fried WTO!, th? nnnr>i*r man. WOnld CB1V/4CU), fT<?3 ? 7 ? be difficult to decide; and as for Bro. Wolling, be looked as if he felt happy himself, and wa9 wishing that "everybody else was in the enjoyment of this same bnsinees." Jfothicg but praises were heard from the lips of each and every one as the crowd m?Ited away at the coining of sundown. Pronged Hoe. BLTTHEWOOD DOTS.

On a cot bo bard and lowly, Lay a mother's dying child, Whif? rery near the mother watches, ThiDking of the faiher wild. Efe had wrecked their lives already, And eren then was far away, At the gaming table sitting, Sinking lower every day; Knowing nothing of the battle Fought within that woman's brest, Whan she tried to soothe her baby In ifc last, its last street rest. Then she thoaght of life hereafter, When without h"r child ghe'd lire, On and on through life so dreary, Wiih no earthly hand to give. Then she hoard her darling mu;inur, "Mama, I is 'most well now," And the mother's haart was breaking As she gently ki38ed her brow. "Let us say our pares iogever, And th?n when we are done, Beg ihe dear dood Jesus To send my papa home." UI am so tired, mama, I tannot see tha light, Raise my hea 1 up des a li-k-t-1 e, Ti?s m-e n o-w d-o-o-d H-i-g-h-t." The mother grasped her darling As if to ?natch away The icy chain ot death Which had caaght her in its sway. "My li e, my all, my treasure, O, God, why take her too! And leave my heart so empty, My joys in life so few." At that very moment, _ A footstep sonnded near, The fattier home too late, To h?ar his child's last prayer. God must have sent an arrow To pierce bis conscience then; For he tamed awav as if to hide His shame from her, hia friend. "Canst thou forgive, 0, God?" The man, in anguish, eried; 'Take all my guilt and stain away And keep me by Thy side " Year* gone by since then, The wife another child, To take ;h9 place of ene whose death Reformed the man so wild. How God in all His goodness Forgive all those who try lo make attonement for their 6ins Committed io days gone by. raOHIBlTIQX. By a little sober thoagbt and tvSee* tieo we mar arrive at fbe doctrine it prohibition. If it ii wreng to sell iwtoaeattng liqswr as a beverage, th?u the law tkat licenses such a basinew is vrroH?. If the law is wrong, then trbose who made the law is wrong. It seems to be the almost universal opinion that it is an nnbo.'y calling for a person to s?li intoxicating liquor a as a beverage, and that an odium of pain lie 8ctitimcnt is always associated witfe such business. But are those who sell intoxicants sinners above all others? If they are to be eensured for nsing the liberty whi?h the law gives, are they more guilty than those who made fcbelaw? And are not those who malce and favor sncii laws parties to wrongdoing? tiomPta have to the dispensary i?, (hat siaee the State has engaged in the liquor business, they are also parties to such business. The only tfensoJation that they have is, that the dispensary was aot established by their vote or consent Bat they do grieve that their wish for prohibition, as expressed at the ballot box ia 1892, was not heeded. We want, therefore, to send men to the next Legislature who will favor prohibition, and not themselves be, and cause those whom they repre-ent to be, parties to wrong-doing. So we make the call for three m?n or more who will run in the coming election on the prohibition tieket, and believe that their chances for election in Fairfield County will be good. H. K.
