was generally responded to when It attacked 1
the prevalent and increasing habit of bleed- '
Inz men who are candidates for oflice with
subscription lists for churchcs and other en '
terprises, barbecues, assessments and other 1
methods. The evil lesults of the persecution
of the candidates are not contlned to the can
* didate himself. They extend to the people by '
decreasing the supply of available official
timber. There is nothing wrong and fre- 1
qnently there is much that is commendable In :
the desire lor office. Political ambition Is as >
honorable as any other and the man who 1
asks for a position in the public service by '
which he may earn honest bread is doing an
entirely proper thing. *
The prevailing tendency is to make the 1
path to office as hard ami disagreeable as pos- '
slble and thereby to shut poor and sensitive '
men out of political life entirely.

There Is nn uprising all over the State .
against levying church contributions Tor public
office. Jt is wrong lu principal every i
way you look at it. Itis nothing more nor I
less than an offer toseii the votes of church
members indirectly, and it opens a way for
candidates to buy their way into office. NVe
hope no subscription lists will be presented
to the candidates in Anderson County tills
year, and if such is done we trust the several
candidates have the manhood to refuse.

LEWIS WARDLAW SMITH.
RrninrliK or XV. Renct, Enq., nt the
.Memorial Meeting of the Abbet
ville liar.
In our report of the proceedings of the Bur
meeting in memory of the lute J,. Wardlaw
Smith, Esq., published last week, the remarks
made on that occasion by Mr. Benet were unavoidably
omitted. Just before Judge Wallace
began Ills closing remarks, Mr. Benet
said:
May il please your JTonour?Having only just
returned from attending Court in Sumter. I
was not awn r? until a lew minutes ago that
the members of the Bar were to hold this solemn
meeting this evening. But I cannot sit
silent and suffer these sad proceedings to
come to a close without adding to what has
already by so many been so feelingly and fittingly
said, my tribute of grief, of praise and
of affection, in memory of Lewis Wardlaw
Smith.
I have this evening listened to the eulogies
which have been pronounced upon him by
my brethren of the Bar; they have expressed
ardent admiration, nnd high praise, and have
pointed out his many sterling qualities as a
man. a citizen and a lawyer. Yet have they
not come up to the full measure of the noble
character of our deceased brother. The Intimate
relations which existed between him
and me had their beginning many years ago.
Well do I remember him as first I saw him,?
the bright, blue eyed, fair-haired boy, the elder
of the two sons of l heir young war-widowed
mother. From that time until deuth closed
his eyes. I have known him as one of my
school-boys, as young man, nnd as my partner
In the law, and may it please your Honour,
a manlier boy, a nobler man, than Wardlaw
Smith It has not been UenrffliTviU that
I should meet with on life's Journey.
I will not speak of him as a lawyer;?that
has already been done and well done by my
brother Bradley, and other brethren of the
Bar, but this I will add to what they have
saidYour Honour belongs to a generation
of lawyers who sometimes fear that the standards
of our profession, which were wont to be
so hi?h in South Carolina, are now in danger
or being lowered by the altered clrcnmstanecs
brought about by the war". I/et me assure you
that If it were vouchsafed to the Bar of each
County in the State to produce a young lawyer
like Ward law Smith, those standards
would never be lowered. His hands were
clean, his heart was pure, his work in the office
or at the Bar was free lrom guile, high,
honest, straightforward. There Is not left in
the Courts of our State to-day, a lawyer of
loftier aims nnd purer practices.
Those who became his clients remained his
friends. 1 cannot forget how one of them
told me, with tears coursing down his withered
cheeks, that next to the bereaved mother
and brother, he would mourn the loss of
Wardlaw Smith and feel it most.
<v neil uuvt'iims "II lilt) ruuwuy iukl iuunday
I saw in the Atlanta Constitution that the
Bar of Atlanta had met and passed resolutions
on the death of our lamented brother.
And when I thought, in connection with this,
of what had been said of bis death by the
press of tills State and of Georgia, I could not
but be profoundly impressed, your Honour,
by this fact?that here was a man, a young
man, not in public life nor a seeker after political
place and prominence, only a young
lawyer who did his duty in the law-courts,
and yet whose death was mourned by the Bar
md the press ot two States as if a great man
had fallen.
Faithful to the truth, faithful to his work,
faithful to his friends,?to yon who knew hiin
Dan I better describe him? To me he was far
more than u friend. He was more like a
younger brother, nay, he was such a friend as
sticketh closer than a brother. The heart
knoweth Its own bitterness: but my lips are
not able to utter what my heart would fain
express.
As he lived, so he died. Although the grim
messenger beckoned to him in the midst of
Ills youth, and summoned him to leave his
life of active work and usefulness, of hope
iiml high ambition, and submit to the rigid
regimen of an invalid's doomed existence,
itill did he give obedience as became a man
und a Christian. Neither sufl'ering nor the
*ure approach of death could make his cheerfulness
abate nor his manliness complain.
And when with startling suddenness the end
drew nigh, and he read in the faces of friends
around Ills bed that his last hour had come,
lie met death with the laith of a child and
the courage of a hero.

Chronicle* of Phlletun Phllollffnn.
In the reign of the great King Grover, there
was a certain husbandman who had been
greatly prospered all his days, and who bad
much laud, and many herds of cattle, swine
and sheep; he had also many bonds of the
realm, and much gold and silver.. And it
came to pass that this great man's end drew
uigh, and bet-aid unto himself: "I wot not
but my time has come to die; I have been
greatly prospered; yea, verily, I have accumulated
great wealth, and now I shall leave
It in the King's name, that be may build unto
me an exceedingly great house, and have
much land adjoined thereto, and it Bhall be
for the learning of other husbandmen's sons
in the manner of tilling the soli, that they
may be able, when they have come to man's
estate, to be more successful In selling goods
In the small villages of this great kingdom,
and thereby be made famous and gather together
great riches."
And It came to pass that this good husband
man uieu, uuu was gHLiiereu uiuu ms iuiucrM,
and the news thereof, and of the great wealth
he had left in the King's name, spread into
many cities; yea, even unto that far city,
Washington.
Now. there was a ccrtain kinsman of his
who dwelt in tills distant city, but with whom
he had not brake bread in many years, and
whose name was Go-Lee-iah. Now, Go-Leeiah
had a daughter who was a kinswoman of
one of the greatest Lords of the land in the
reign of the mighty Washington. When GoLee-iah
heard of the death of his kinsman in
the distant city, be spoke and said: "Tho" I
have much sickness upon me, aud have not
brake bread with my kinsman In an exceeding
long time, yet will I gird up my loins and
go hence, that I may gather some of his great
wealth unto my coffers."
Now, when he was come Into the husbandinun's
country and found Lhut ho liad lett all
Ills richcs in the King's name, for the building
of a place of learning, he was cxceedlug
wroth, and said:
"Wo, Is me! did not my kinsman know
that my daughter was descended from the
mighty Lord C ; and yet he left her not a
shekel? I will hasten me unto the Court of
Justice."
And he went aud come unto the High
Priest, and said: "The wealth that my kinsman
left in the King's name, for the building
of a place of learning Is not suflicient even for
the providing of a yoke of fatted steers for
the drawing of saw-logs to the mill for lumber
wherewith to build; I pray you give It
tiic, or my daughter, who Is near kin to the
great Lord C , and the blessings of the
people will lollow thee."
And the High Priest listed unto Go-Lee-iah,
and when he was done, spoke and sa!d: "Oh,
fool! Know ye not that the wisdom of the
greatest men will be centered on this great
school, and that many wise men shall get
their learning there? What are yours or
your daughters claims in comparison to such
an institution? Gohence!
And Go-Lee-iah went his way sorrowfully
and with much murmuring.

from Christian Neigiibor
SHE IS DEAF DUMB AND BLIND.
A No ven-T? ear-Old Unfortantle who
in Developing Wonderftil Intel HKencc.
Boston, June 6.?Helen Keller is
the name of the seven-year-old child
who can neither see, hear nor speak,
and who is in all respects om great a
wonder as the world-famous Laura
Bridgeman. The girl is now in this
city, having come to attend the commencement
exercises at the Perkins
School for the Blind, which was founded
by Dr. Samuel G. Howe, deceased
husband of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe.
Although deprived of all her most important
senses, she has been brought
by the agency ot the blind alphabet
into a surprisingly keen appreciation r*
of the things above her. She is the
daughter of Arthur H? and Kate Keller,
and was born June 27, 1880, in
Tuscumbia, Ala. Her father was
formely editor of the North American
and he is now United Slates Marshal
for the Northern District of Alabama.
His mother was agreat-granddaught?r
of Alex. Spotswood, first Colonial
Governor of Virginia, and she was
also second cousiu to General Robert
E. Lee." ...
When little Helen was nineteen
months old an illness resulted in the
total loss of sight and hearing. She
had been au unusually bright and active
child and was fast learning to
talk when she was taken sick. She
soon ceased to talk because she heard
no sound, but as her physical strength
returned she began to exhibit wonder*
ful aptitude for learning everything
about her household. She learned to
distinguish the different members of
the family through her sense of touch,
and her parents decided to place her in
charge of the Perkins Institution, tn
city, in the hope that her terrible con
ditioD might in some measure be ameliorated.
Mis* Annie M. Sullivan, hepself
a graduate of the school, was aenft
to Tuscutnbia in March, 1887. She
taugh Heleu the fipger alphabet of the
b 1 i n dau d after days of patient work was
rewarded by seeing her pupil exhibit
unmistakable sign9 of intelligence. Her
sense of touth being so acute, Helen
was able after awhile to comprehend
the purpose and shape of objects round
about her. An object could be given
to her and after examining it carefully
with her fingers the name^ofthe
ject would be communicated to her by * >7
the finger alphabet. /
By the end of August, 1887, she
knew 62G words and almost as many
objects. After this she learned to read
after the fashion of the blind by means
of raised letters aud then to write.
These processes were of course intensely
laborious to pupil and teacher
alike, and only the gentleness and
perseverance of both could have won'
success. Her knowledge of arithmetic

extreme pleasure in feeding domestic
animals and learning their habits and
use. Her power of imitation isstrongly
developed. Her memory is retentive
and her curiosity is insatiable.
The express and baggage car of the
Cincinnati, Indianapolis, 6t. Louis,
and Chicago Railway was boarded by
robbers on the night of June 8. They
shot the baggage master, Ketcham, in
four places; the express agent, Zimmerman,
escaped hurt, though the
robbers fired as many as fifteeu shots.
The engineer and fireman probably
killed one that climbed upon the tender.
Four men who could not satisfactorily
explain their actions have
been arrested. Ketcham died June 9,
at Cincinnati. :

The National Democratic Convention,
St. Louis, June 5?7, nominated
Grover Cleveland as his own successor
in the Presidency, Allen G. Thurman
us Vice President. The platform of
1884 was re-affirmed, the President's
TariiF message endorsed, and also the
Mills Bill.

man.
A railroad horror occurred in Mexico,
near Tampico, June 4. Thirteen
