Simple The Form of a < of a How an Ambitious Orphan B Station in Life to the Hi of the State. Away back in the fifties a vessel puts into, Charleston harbor. For days it has wrestieU : with ttie waves of the broad At lautlc, and its 1 passengers are rejoiced to see the sunny laud to which starry-eyed Hope has pointed. Two passengers, yes three, especially interest us. ? a yuuuk lunn in whose eyes burn truth and fidelity, and a young woman who holds by the hand a slender delicate Boy about four years of HRe. It is easy to see that the three are father, mother, sou. Tbey have left their old home, hope whispering, ambition urging that in this the new world, they will hew out of life's rough circumstance a shining future. The little boy Is the center, from and toward which their every thought revolves. To educate this boy 80 that he may be a blessing to ttiem and his adopted country is their hourly prayer. . Their little home Is a happy one, for peace and love and plenty abound. ButQod knows best?"He doeih ail things well." Suddenly the dark days come. The noble young father in Kiricken down with yellow fever, and the! widow aod the fatherless commence the bard, cruel batlle of life. Don't be Impatient, my dear reader, I am not telling you au idle Btory, but a truly true . one, aud 1 must needs begin at tbe beginning. Well, before tliat delicate little boy baa reached the tender age of ten, he is struggling for a livelihood. Out in tbe streets be Belts newspapers? in the biting March winds, the 1 sultry August days?this child, this little one, workH Tor bis dally bread! The form of a , child?the heart ot a hero! Now ye mothers' wno toll witn your Utile boy's lessons every evening, now would It be if your little Jlmmie, or Willie, or Arthur, or Johnnie were thrown out upon tbe world at suob a tender age? 1 see your faces pale as you Instinctively press your boy to your heart. Read ! this little story caieiully, and your patriotism will have a Iresh access ol zeal. There is no other country upon the globe where your < boy has such a God-given cuance to hew out in tbe temple ol fame a name lor himself. ' I Something over a hundred years ago, Benfamln Franklin entered Boston with enough money to buy a breakfast of bread. Every i scbooi boy Is familiar with bis history. He ' was an humble printer, yet to-day tbe entlr* j civilized world knows bis name and hashes .frompolbto pole messages by that mighty ! power which be discovered. THE NEWS BOY. i j ? '*, ftS i Bat to return to our little <hewsboy> The ' Charleston society people sweep by?perhaps buying a paper, perhaps not. What does >lt matter, the success or failure of a newsboy? fittttOI BOU1B U?J, UJajUa^J, 1UUOO WUIO uas people's grandsons may be sent to our capital cltsas pages la the Legislative balls of South Carolina, add loJ wben the Governor's Me* tag^U read. It Is written by' that same Dine , barefoot newsboy. Ah, little fellow, with the , form of a eblld and the bearl of a berp,?urely 1 since those Marcb winds Mew and tbOM August sans beat upon your little head, yoo nave striven manfulljr.. "Seed thou a.man diligent In business, he bhalLataAd before ; kings!" Aye. lu Booth Carolina*^e shall be a King among his fellows! ' THE NEWS BOY BB00VS8 GOVEBNOR. I Now that you have already' guessed who | this brave little newsboy is, he shall be i formally introduced to yon?Jilllas B. MoSweeney, Governor of South Carolina* by the grace of Uod and true Democratic votes. There Is many a clever boy wMMe manhood fails to come up to our expectations. Let us see about our Governor, let the "fierce white J light" that ever beats about a public man en- ' veiope him. While Helling papers ohr hero ' raeetM with a irleud and commences to work as u printer in his office. All over thraurld 1 the good (.iod has scattered J Cist SO^JWfcle men and women whose mighty ISMl and tender vision cause them to be aWHiclligK 1 forth a helping baud to IherlMHlEimra soul. I'erhaps iMs (inly a cheerful WV^HHHb that glad word is a golden bridge over waters, lie completes his apprenticeship as* {' job printer and a scholarship for merit 3M2 offered him In Washington and Lee UnivAtv ?t gUy, but owing to a lack of means, be was" aWe to attend only part of one session. So 3 youug McSweeney came back to South Caro ' llua and began printing la Columbia. He ' served Columbia Typographical Union as corresponding secretary and afterwards iu> preui- J deut. He served as secretary of the Phoenix 3 Hook and Ladder Compauy for a number of 1 years. In ls"6 lie wasau active Democrat and ' did faithful work for the party m thai never ' to be forgotten time of peril and striie. About this time Mr. Mc.Sweeuey moved to Ninety- 1 Six iu our county then. He belongs to old Abbeville county alter all. He came to Ninety-Six with a capital of sixty-live dollars and purchased a second hand press and out- ! lit for Si'iOO, paying cash as nrst payment. KHAN KLIN AND M'SWKKNKY. Like Kranklin. he worked early and late. Unlike Franklin, who ate his bread on the treets, McSweeney went to bed supperless, because, when he went to Ninety-Six, he was unable to buy three meals a day. Like Krauklin, success came to him, and now the boy who ouce whs able to buy ouly two meals a day Is well provided for, and he has no f?*ar of becoming a cl&rge upon his country. The people of the State of his nativity give him their heart's affection, while they bestow upon him the highest honor which any people can confer upon any man. Ambitious to win the respect ot his fellow citizens, honest iu the performance ot every duty, courageous to de fend the humblest, while able to resist the I designs and the power of the great and influential, he has glveu to every South Carolinian a good Koveruor who administered the affairs of the oflice without fear or favor. Without yielding to the mob or cringing to the social power 01 any set 01 men, ne u?* uuuij u?u<j Lis duty. He Is a man of the people and however much he may have been elevated his heart In true to all. He loves the holiest laborer aud his hand Is ever stretched out to help the struggling brother to higher and better things. August, 187H, the first Issue of the Hamptou Guardian appeared and it has been published ever since by Mr. McSweeney. He has lukeu a deep and abiding interest In the development ol his town aud couuty. He is regarded as a tine business man of wide public spirit in regard to building churches und school houses. He bas served as mayor of Hamptou lor five terms, and as National Delegate of Democratic Convention Ihree times. Mr. McHweeney takes a deep interest In military matters aDd after his eiectlan to the legislature in 1H!U he was chairman of the commute on military. He has also been a trustee of the .South Carolina College aud a i member of the board of visitors of the Citadel, aud by virtue of his office, is chairman of both boards at present. He Is a member of the Order of Knights oi l Honor sin<1 me Kuigms 01 rymian hhu u<u> beeu houored by both organizations. lu l?Kj he wan elected lieutenant governor by a handsome majority and re elected lu 1S'J8 without opposition, and on the death of Gov. W.H Kllerbe In Jun3,lH99, betook the oath of ottice as governor, and has since discharged the duties of the ottice with dignity and tine business ability. FAITHFUL STKWARDSHIP. H Is administration of the State's afl'airs has been so successful that even his political enemies cannot pick a flaw In his record. He now, as an endorsement ol his falthfulstewardsblp. asks an election to a full term at the bands of his fellow citizens. In a manner Governor McSweeney belongs to Abbeville county. She made a man of him In that Ninety Six put him on bis financial leet. Abbeville must stand by him in the coming election. She cannot afford to turn her back on her adopted son even if another of her sons Is in the race. Governor McSweeney believes that tne dispensary system that has been placed on our statute books should stand, lie respects all men's opinions, but he enforces the laws of our State and not even for the endorsement of a second term, will be cringe either to true prohibitionists or bow to sham ones. NOTHING WRONG WITH GARY. What's the matter with Frank Gary? Nothing at all- at all! He Is a good fellow, a jolly good fellow, but we can't exactly work him In as governor this I line. Nothiug to hinder us from doing so uext time; but we South l aroliuiauH always did stand on our manners Story, Child?The Heart Hero. oy Rose from the ,Humblest ghest Position in, the Councils ' Vi "wV>" r> ?etiquette Mr. Gary would say. Gubernatorial etiquette In Soatti.Caroltna Ih venerable with age and reepeot. It Is this. Ever aiuce tbe royal governor ran away In a ship it lias been tbe custom to give a gover-1 nor a second term as an endorsement of bis management of the State's affaire. Somi peculiar people argue that when a man ano ceeds to this office from that of Lieut>QOVernor this custom should not be observed This showB simply a love of arguing about nothing, or to express It more elegantly. It Is the difference between tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum. ?' , 1 '-' ''Mi: r- , LIEUTENANT-GOVERNORS NOT FIGURE HEADS Oar lleutennpt-cofataors are not mere flgure-beads.

Buddle'w company mauuere did imHwbUo bim lon? enough ; In short, be wiib 'jooprevious-?Just so with tbe governorship. Now as to tbe other candidate. We don't mean to mince matters but call a spade a spade, r ? Prohibition is the Jack-o'-lantern by whose 3lcKerl0g light Col. Hoyt would fain walk iDtO.-tb^ governor's cnair. Prohibition is a iQVOiy^gabJect on paper and would make an ESden&$f oar earth it It would work. But wheir$ou see men who have been advocates af the open bar and who fought the dispensary bitterly, coming out with bugle and ilium ahd flags and cheers for Hoyt, the pro blblltOD candidate, is not it time to slop aud think and ask yourself why and wherefore this unholy alliance between darkness and light, between temperaucc ana intemperance. OIL AND WATER DO NOT MIX ?HUT TtIK WHISKEY KJ.KMKN'T AND THE COM) WATER CROWD HAVE COME TOGETHER. Doth oil and water mix? No, sir, but whiskey and water are trying to mtx iu the fol- I lowing of this ticket. (Jol. lioyt's friends and i his paper have advocated high license, and 1 all sigus point to the lucL mat ir we sliouhl i get prohibition it would be such a dismal fall- i ure that we would inevitably wind up with I high license aud open bars. All these slgnlfl- < cant tilings makes me think of Col. Hoyt in connection with one of John Q,uincy Adam's anecdotes. Once upon a time there was a man who for some reason did not wish his motherless son to ever see or love a woman. Hence he brought the boy up on a country estute where all the servants even were men. Thus surrounded by men the boy grew to manhood, his father hoping thus to render him utterly Indifferent to womauklnd. One day the father took the son out walking beyond t tie park gates of his country seat. They had not gone far before they met two very beautiful ladles. "What are those creatures, father?" the young man inquired excitedly. "Geese, my son," said the father, pulling the hoy in the other direction, "Simply geese, my sou." "Well, father,'' said the son, "if God spares my life I mean to have oue o! those geese." SHAI.li THE BARS BE OPENED IN THE NAMK OK KEI,lGION? We respect the opinions or convictions oi the true, buna fide prohibitionists, but there are those calling themselves so, who are wolves in sheep's clothing, who see in thus splitting the Democrullc vote in our state a chauce to get buck luto power and bave open bar-rooms all over the Slate; for tbey foresee distinctly that under prohibition the Illicit sale of wbixkey will increase, and that to avoid anarchy our people will be compelled i to resort to licensed bar-rooms. Then there would be Ave more years of plenty for the bar-keepers. They would flock Into the State by thousands, to say nothing of those already here. Then they would have a free and opeu chauce to ruin that boy of yours?that boy whose education and training have been yours and his mother's daily thought and care lor years?and uow just when his bright young mind is expanding, showing forth the promise ol a glorious manhood, you are preparing to opeu the bars in the name of religion. How many wicked devices rum has to entice Its victims. SAFEGUARDS OF THE DISPENSARY. Under the dispensary law your boy cannot buy whiskey, and if you keep him off the streets at night the ex. and would-be barkeepers, wili not get a chance to ruin him ? that boy upon whom all your hopes are centered -upou whose arm you expect to lean lu your old age. Alas, for your rosy dreams, i day by day. Your boy changes, it is slow, but | sure lor by tree drinks and Iree cigarettes the j fatal habit Is fastened upon him which changes him irom a healthy lad into a spind! Mug long-necked sallow wreck. DELUDED SOl.'I.S. i Gone is his splendid young strength?bis ! high aspirations. His only ambition uow is to wear a laundried collar and loaf. Why | has this heart-breeding sorrow come to you ? Because you thought it your duty as a memi ber of tne church to vole for prohibition. I Why ministers urged it, Christian people urned it? Yes. and your church expressly commands you to uphold the laws of your Stale and country. Tne dispensary law has la-en placed upon our statute books by wise and thoughtful statesmen nfter trying all other plans to restrict the Rale of Intoxicants. PROHIBITION DDES NOT COME BY THE WAVE OK A MAGIC WAND. A great many voters seem to believe that once Col. Hoyl is elected all ho will have to do Is to wave his illy white hand and the dispensary will disappear. Prohibition and the millennium will come in together. The gov erpor is the chief exectlve. lie does not make or repeal the laws. Me simply executes the laws that are passed by a majority vote in the Legislature and Senate. How then can Col. Hoyt's election insure the pussage of prohibitory laws. THE CONCLUSION OF THE WHOLE MATTER. Listen to the true, fearless words of our present governor. "If the sincere and honest advocates ot temperance would stop and consider, they wonld reach the conclusion that the dispensary system, properly managed and enforced, Is a better temperance measure than prohibition would be.

I i CLOSE AT HAND. i ^ l Preparation* for tlie Battle of KallotN Being Made on All SHIea?A Warning; to Votera. (The State.) The first State primary election Is now only three weeks irom tomorrow. It Is coming on 1 very rapidly and on all sides preparations for the battle of ballots are going on rapidly. The State committee Is busy sending out the tickets to the several counties, and It will be for voters to remember that they cannot have auy but the regular ticket counted and that names written on the ticket kills It; the only power the voter has Is to run a line through the names of those for whom he does not wish to vote. In the several counties the county committees must furnish similar tickets with the names of each candidate printed thereon aud no other ticket can be counted. Another essential thing for voters tn ln<ik nffpr without. ilulnv 1u t ho unrnllmont.. The rules require that tbe tuan offering to vote inust have his name enrolled on some club list at leant live days before the primary. Club secretaries are tbe custodians of these rolls aud no man who wishes to vote should fall to see that his name Is on the list. The State campaign Is rapidly drawing to a close. The racers enter upon the last quarter today. There are only 11 more meetings Including Columbia, which U tbe last. The campaign's close comes exactly two weeks from tomorrow. Today the meeting Is at Greenville. There will be a meeting every day this week (except Wednesday) at the following places: Pickens on Tuesday. Wak] hall a. on Thursday, Anderson on Friday and Abbeville on Saturday. Next week there will be two "off days"-Tuesdny and Friday?and the tlnal meettngii will he held on Tuesday and Wednesday o-' the week following, Lexington being the las, point before the racers come under the string at the capital. Up to Saturday last there hac i been nothing of a stirring nature in the cam; paigu, and nothing more of that kind Is ex? pected. | In most of the counties the managers (tf [election have already been choosen by tbp executive committees, but some ol the commlltees have left It to the county chairmen ti make the appointments and so far these lti porta nt eleotlon officials have not beets named.

At the same time I shall present my views as forcibly as I can, deeming It my privilege to crltlolse In proper language tbe official acts and public utterances of .those who oppose me. V- . I am before yoa as a candidate for tbe high and responsible office of governor, r entered this race not of my own motion and to gratify my own ambition, bnt it was at the sollclta- < tlon and earnest request of many members of 1 tbe general assembly and others who feel a : deep Interest la the welfare of our common country.

They have urged me Unmake I] this racaJtnowIng me to be a real friend of t' tbe dlspatjs&ry law. and believing tbat a?[' lone as tbe law Is upon tbe statute books I ' would have it enforced. Tbey urge me to 1 make tbl* race knowing, too. tbat I am not in favor of forcing the law upon an unwilling * people, and tbat I am in favor of allowing 1 aacb county to determine whether or not 1 there shall be a dispensary In Its borders. MR. GABY'S VIEWS NOT EXACTLY THE SAME < A3 THOSE OF GOV. MCSVfEKNEY. It has been repeatedly stated tbat the gov- l amor and I will represent tbe aanae views up 3Q the dispensary question. .This, my friends Is a mistake, it I correctly interpret bis message to the general assembly. In tbat men- , *age be urges tbat tbe control oi tbe diapen- , iaries sboujd be In tbe bands of State bouse j Dfflolals. In tbls we differ.

In this we differ. Since tbe last act of _ ibe legislature tbe benefits of a dispensary, it ? .here are any, and tbe evils, if there are any, which attend a dispensary, are confined to . he county in wblcb tbe dispensary Is located, u The profits of the dispensary now go to the county In which It is located. This being so, t Is more than ever a local Institution?local nits evils and local In It benefits. Heretorore tbe profits of the sale of whiskey went ? nto the common treasury and from tbence hey were distributed throughout the State c n proportion to the number of children ?t- ' lending the public schools In tbe several J jountlesand in proportion to tbe Scandal 1 nabllltyof tbe several counties to provide t: for them. In several Instances counties 8 ivblch would not tolerate a dispensary got tbe 0 argest portion of tbe profits made by those * jounties wblcb bad dispensaries. Tbls. in be Judgment of the general assembly, was 11 vroug, and It took prompt steps to correot it. JJ \h a result tbe profits arising from tbe sale 11 >f whiskey belong to the town and counly In ? which the dispensary Is located. This being rue a county may now have a dispensary or' nay ueonne M) nave one wiiuuui iu ?u> nterferlng wltb the rights of any other P sounty. ' ' " / he question of locating a dispen6aby. - 1 I can, therefore, see no objection to. allow- d ng a county, upon the petition of one-third It >f its qualified voters, to bold an election up- si >n tbe question of locating a dispensary id si is borders. dl If a majority should vote "dispensary" then w l dispensary should be placed there. If on the other band a majority should vote ol 'no dispensary" then It should be unlawful cl or one to be located there. ti This gives to the people tbe right to say a vliether or not there shall be placed In their ai nldst a dispensary. This Is right. It Is hi Democratic. rr If the people of a county cannot and do not ol tppreclate the advantages of a dispensary, oi vhy should tbe other counties force them to M tppreclate those advantages. On tbe other w )and, if we do see and appreciate tbe benefits o Ije derived from a dispensary, wby should te be other counties wish to disturb us in the w mjoyment of that luxury. disi'ensaky hettkr than barrooms. " AS compareu wiilj me uiu uauwiu rjoidui ve do consider It a luxury, and do not wish w o part with It until something which Is beter calculated to promote morality Is offered 81 nits stead. This has not yet been offered. D Some will ask why I don't go a step farther s ind advocate leaving tbe question of high w lcense to be determined by tbe people of the b espectlve counties. One answer to tbls ques- a Jon Is becaufie I am' In favor of managing tbe iquor traffic with a view to curtailing the jvils of liquor drlnklngand not with a view h )f making money out of tbe traffic. b OPPOSED TO license. tl If the State maintains control over tbe traffic through the dispensary, It can and d aught to discourage the sale as much as possl- a ale; but If the State puts tbe traffic In the ? Hands of Individuals it in a measure parts Bl with Its control over tbe traffic, Tbe individuals can and will sell as much as they may y see lit to sell. The Individual might very well say I bave paid for the privileges of selling and I will sell as much as I can. uoyt's sokt ok dispensaries are bastard ? dispensaries. 8 " ?" 4 ~ hnnflot nrnh IHIt Inn. 1 I SC6IU" l*' UJU bUOb UUO WVSUVI7V fl VU Vi*IWU- y Ists, and I assume that tbey are honest, will come nearer obtaining genuine prohibition In those counties, where it is really desired, under the plan wiiioh I advocate than under the plan of that distinguished gentleman, Col. lioyt. What does be advocate? A bastard dispensary plan. He advocates maintaining the dispensaries with all their expensive machinery, with all their salaried officers, with all the opportunities for rottenness and corruption which he so eloquently portrayed. And for what? To sell for sacramenta I, medicinal and scientific purposes. Is this what the people of South Carolina want? Do you want to go deep down into your pockets to maiutain the dispensaries for the purpose named. Tills Is what must be done, or else blind tigers will run right over the land. Tbl? Is the meaning of such prohibition as Col. Hoyt advocates. TOUCHING THK UNHOLY ALLIANCE. Not only this, but If CoK Hoy t's position Is correctly Biaiea, no in ?imug iU uauu.* with auy aud all elements la the general assembly, whether high license men or what not lo uproot the dispensary system regardless of what may supplant It. We do not wish to do him an injustice and will not do so knowingly. In The State of the 28th ult I there appeared the following editorial comment, which has not been repudiated, and we presume that the editor speaks with author!1 Hoyt Is a prohibitlonlBt, but not a fanatical one. He will support, his cause as long as there is hope for it; but If In the legislature a coalition should be necessary to the overthrow of the dispensary system there is no reason to suspect that he would be less willvng to recognize the requirements of the sltuailion than be wan last winter when he favoted concessions by his side. There is nothjlng Id his candidacy lo make useless the running of local option candidates for the legislature or such combinations between prohiibltlonists and local optloDists as may he n'ecessary to overcome the dispensary majority In tbe present general assembly." (!,. HOYT WILLING TO JOIN HANDS WITH 1)1 K SALOON MEN TO BREAK UP THE | DISPENSARY ? |ou see, my friends, if Col. Iloyt's poslk correctly set forth, he is willing now, the past, to Join hands with local nptlon|f necessary, lo uproot the dispensary ary's Speech Jnmistakable Utlces. ^latfooted on the Dispensary License?Appeal in Behalf of > <t-14 ft T?^^A4?<%r4> , ui ma vwu system regardless of what shall replace It. Honest prohibitionists, does this kind of prohibition commend Itself to yon? You who profess to be working in the Interest of morality, are you willing to license corporations and Individuals to sell whiskey in this State, if it )b necessary to do so to nproot the dispensary law ? Honest advocates of the dispensary system, you bad better be on your guard when local optlonlsts and prohibitionists talk about forming coalitions. Then is the time for men who are willing for the dispensary Jaw to. stand until something better is given as, to stand together. A few words more and I shall pass from the dispensary question. I was a member of th& legislature that enacted the law. I have been a member of each succeeding legislature. would remove objectionable featufes and enforce the law. My honest desire has been to remove the objectionable features, and to enforce it in the Interests of the morals of the country. Not being myself a drinking man, I could bave no other aim In view than to promote tbe welfare of the country. It seems to melto be an;unwlse and a shortsighted policy to so reduce the constabulary force as to make it possible for blind tigers to Sourish aa they do. And when this is attempted to be excused on the ground that It. taves money, It seems to me that tbe IntenJon of tbe }aw ls?ntlrely perverted, and It is iud as a meant bf making money. I un told, my friends, that In some of the 'ountlea ilnce the oonstables are removed, .be blind tigers have Bprung un so tblcfcly as itftoallyvlo ?Urve ont one another. totty'owB'.coanty tbe law has been enforc:d in p buslneBs-llke way, and today there ?n be found but few to oppose It. When It s so conducted elsewhere ft will be regarded is It is there as the best means of preparing or ultimate and real prohibition. . OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM. Another matter wtilob Is of vital imporADce to tbe people of oar 8tate Is the managenent of our educatloDal Institution?, includug of course tbe common schools. In my augment we cannot devote too much attenlon to tbe Improvement of them. They bould be so fostered by the State as to make bestepfrom the common school to the colegeH easy and natural. The common schools md the colleges ought to form one "harmonous whole. They should go band In band, ach' contributing to the otber. and each ecelvlng Its part of the State's bounty, loutb Carolina bas need for botb tbe comnon schools and the colleges, and if we would ake our pioper place in the grand march of Hates we must foster botb. WE NEED TRAINED INTELLIGENCE. Now, as never before, is there a demand in loutbrCarollna for educated Intelligence, and , f we are unable to furnish it It must of neessity be Imported from elsewhere. We are i ast becoming a manufacturing people, and re must prepare to meet tbe new conditions. i 'his, If nothing else, is a sufficient Justlflea- , Ion for tbe establishment of Cltmson college < nd tbe Wlntbrop Normal and Industrial ollege. Says our senior senator: These two < roras "Normal and Industrial" are tbe two Jdestars which must guide onr people out of ( be bog of poverty, ignorance and stagnation 'bleb surrounds us. Within their meaning j es our only hope?the one says educate, the < tber means work. I repeat that there is a , emand for trained Inteljegence and In order bat our people work to advantage they must e educated. BWSIO^S rOK CO> r EDKHATE SOL.DIEKS? I TRIBUTE TO THEIR PATRIOTISM. ADotber matter which In my judgment 1 emands our earnest and best attention < i tbe pension to disabled soldiers. Tbe conitutloa requires that a liberal appropriation 1 iall each year be made for pensioning In- i Igent Confederate soldiers and their indigent Idows. The Con federate army was made up largely ' poor people, men wbo left their wives and illdren without bread and without protecon, but commending tbem to the keeping of merciful God, tbey shouldered tbelr muskets id went forth to answer duy's call. Ttiey ad no negroes wbose emancipation ibey ilgbt prevent?they bad not tbe stimulus of flee and tbe hope of promotion to urge tbem a ?It made no difference to tbem whether [lRBOurl was a slave State or not. They went here duty called. In hunger, barefooted and In rags the Con iderate soldier has laid a debt upon us which e can never repay. Will we be parsimonious In our settlement Ith him ? Shame upon us if we are. Only few more reunions?ouly a f??w more roll ins?ana me existence 01 mose gauant neroes III have passed Into history. Each year the number grows (rightfully mailer, and in a few more years there will be ODe to tell the tale. It Is the duty of the late to see to It that the few remaining years bleb are allotted to these heroes shall not e spent In suffering and in want. I favor more liberal appropriation for, and a more suitable division of the pension lund. Uuder the present law a roan may be utterly elpless with age and Infirmity and yet not scelved more than 812.00 for bis support, eoause forsooth his condition does not meet le requirements of Class A or Class B. Such ien must eitberbeacbarge upon their nelgbors or else must Knock for admittance at the oor of the poor house. I believe that the pproprtallon should be large enough to give very soldier who Is without means, an amount ufflclent to relieve his necessary wants. All; TREATMENT ALL THAT MB. OARY WANTS.

Florence Times-Democrat. While we cannot accept wholly Senator Tillman's characterization of the prohibition movement as an unholy alliance between the preachers and the barkeepers, we do not think tbo preachers need to get so mad about It. We do think that preachers are and ought to be subjects of criticism as other men, that they are so subject espeolally when they enter the field of politics. We do not see that the ministers of the country are especially privileged to May bard and cutting things about other people, especially men in public position, and these men have not the privilege to reply or defend themselves. Preachers are very proned to speak In what they think righteous Indignation and to use expressions that would get other men Into trouble, so wlille we cannot agree with Senator Tillman wholly, we cauuot wholly exonerate the mlulsters. orders for ice promptly lllled when left | with J.

Mr. Wilson has bad a notable career. HJs fathnr cave ud his life In the sublime strug gle between the North and the South, leaving him an infant, and without money. Wtien he was quite a youth he was given a place In the Orphanage at Clinton, where he learned the printing business. His energy and his application won tbe good opinion of the authorities, and tbey have ever since manifested much Interest In his welfare. At various times when a faithful aud trusty printer was needed they called on him. For a long time be was a valued help in the Tress and Banner office, and alter bis marriage he ventured Into untrodden paths, with less success than attended lils efforts in the printing business. He undertook to run the farm wblch he owned, and for two or three years he devoted his energies to agriculture. He then went into the mercantile business, which seemingly prospered for years, but of late he has been hampered for lack of capital. | Mr. Wilson is a man of great energy, aud I there remain spheres of usefulness for him.
