which he has forwarded to tho
address therein given:
CllKit vw . S. C., April 2, 1
('apt. (J. W. Shell, Chairman and
others, Executive Committee of the
Farmers A asocial ion?(lentleinen:
Having waited a seasonable time for
an ofhicial notification of tho action
of the March Con volition in placing
my name before the people as a candidate
for the position of Lieutenant
(lovenor, and not having received
such notice, I deem not improper to
address this communication to you.
While I fully appreciate the unsolicited
compliment which has been
paid me and desire to express mv
t hanks for t his evidence of confidence
yet l inn sat islied that my name was
put forward undent misapprehension.
It. cannot ho doubted that the purpose
of the ('onvent ion was to place
upon the ticket men who wore in full
sympathy with the letter of the
Chairman ofMhe Kxeeutive committee
of the Farmers' Association (Capt
. Shell) in culling the Convention together?men
who fully endorsed the
platform adopted and who could
and would canvass the State upon
the issues therein made.
Without referring to unvobjection
I had the letter of Capt Shell, or my
views as to the policy of making
nominations at this time, it will he
sullicicnt for me to say that 1 do
not fully endorse the platform, and
for this and other sullicient reasons
luiuioi niici u[him a canvass in its
support as required by the lltli section
of t lie plat form.
In justice, therefore, to myself, as
well as in justice to the body whose
execut ive you are, I beg leave to wit hdraw
my name from the tickets suggested.
This action will also relieve
you of all embarrassment in substituting
a man who will represent the
view which prevailed in the Convention.
It is but proper for me to say here
that I am wholly identified with the
agricultural interest of the State,
and am in full sympathy with the
farmers in their efforts to better
their condition, and to this end am
heartily in favor of their taking an
active part in control of legislation,
both Federal and State; but all .oust
admit that honest differences of opinion,
as to the 11 lean * and measures
which will furnish the needed relief,
may well exist between men aetua
ted by the best, motives and seeking
accomplishment of the same ends.
1 am, gentlemen, very truly and
repcctfuliy yours, .Iamks 0. Co it.
Student* Disciplined.
As the parties who complained in
the Kegiater of conduct of the University
students toward Captain Tillman
addressed no formal columnnicatiOn
to the president in the University
council, there will be 110 for
nial statement of the result of the
investigation into the matter which
llfW luiAtl 1 A 1
mvv.i niiii.jn;ii<inniy cuiiilllCieu.
From official sources, however, the
Bureau has gathered the following
statement of facts ns developed in
the investigation, with the action of
council'in the matter.
On the morning after the Convention
President McBryde read to the
atudents the card of complaint, stating
that he knew nothing of the
) truth of it, but that it demanded
investigation at the hands of the
authorities, and also of the students,
who wore chiefly interested in either
disproving the charges or condemning
the occurrence as a blot on the
reputation heretofore enjoyed by the
students for good order and genteel
deportment, but'that if tin; charges
were true he severely condemned the
affair.
The students mot and passed resolutions
which have already been re
ported in The News and Courier. j
The University council convened
at the call of the president and devoted
three days to a careful inves
tigation, questioning the chief of police,
who was present, citizens of
Columbia and visitors, delegates to
the Convention, both friends and
opponents of Mr. Tillman, and the
I . y j
illlll
CO
I ' ' I
students implicated, who onnc up I
voluntarily, giving their names |
j and answering questions on their
| lienor. j'
The facts gathered are as follows: j 1
In the State House some few stn-i
, }
dents, not many, joined, l>ut not i
boisterously, in the general disorder;*
which from time to time prevailed.'1
; After the floor of the house was j j
| cleared of spectators by a mot ion |j
and remarks w liieh severely rellected '
j on all present, the spectators enter *
C(1 the gallery. Applause and hisses i I
were not confined to the students, j
Much of the disorder was on the (
floor of the House. i
About the time of adjournment a 1
crowd of spectators, citizens, school :
boys, students and others engagedj(
humorously in singing the old tune j
of "John Brown's body," with the
j substilu,ion of ('apt. Tillman's name. 1
; The crowd went up Main street to !
: soionade Col. John J. Dargan, but
he was not found, and as ther re
j turned, down Main street they enine \
across a delegate who had promi!
iientlv opposed nominations ami was <
making a speech. A large crowd,
of whom students were .not the ma-! <
jor part, sung, cheered and groaned.! ;
During this time Mr. Tillman came
up and passed around the crowd.
. Only twenty-three of the students
were aware of his presence while
this demonstration was taking place.
The students emphatically deny that
they indulged in improper language
or made any threats.
Among these twenty-three students
there were no seniors, and
three fourths were freshmen, mostly
; sons of fanners of different parts of
i the State. Some of them actually!
in sympathy with the nominations,
| who were carried away hy e.xcite|
men t.
These facts show the absence of
| malice on the part of those concern
1. rni i ...
CK. i ins column was considered,
| however, a grave breach of good
i conduct and of gentlemanly beliav?it
j lor. On the other hand, the absence
of nutlice and a threatened breach of
' the peace as gathered from the tesj
timony'of eye-witnesses as well as
1 participants, induced the council to
make some allowance on account of
youth and of all the circumstances.
They deemed that dismission or
long suspension he too severe; that,
suspension for a short time would
he but a holiday, and that the proper
course would be to administer a
severe reprimand which would place
the students' names on the roll as
having been subjected to discipline. <
Kaeih participant has, therefore, today
received a personal reprimand
from President McHrydc.
Salvation by Work.
By Hew A. S. Chesebroiigh, I). I>.
lbit does not the Scripture say
that we are to be saved, *-11 ot: of
works, lest any man should boast,"
and "not by works of righteousness
which we have done?" Y<-s. It for
bids us to think that we can pile up!
our good deeds so as tube a payment j"
( or offset over against our bawl deeds;
i or that we can do meritorious acts of I
1 righteousness, which, on the ground ;
! of desert, shall cancel our sins against
I Ood. Neither does it authorize us
I
to indulge the hope that we can
make any headway aigainst the bondage
of sin within us by amy resolu-l!
I tions or efforts to do right, or amy i
purposes or intentions formed in our
own uaturail strength. Nothing of
| iill t his,
And yet salivation is by work ?by
j our own work. So I'ami says: "Work
|ont your own salvation with fear i
and trembling." Nobody else ean
work it out for you. And it is no
irreverence to say that God cannot '
work it out for you, as lie certainly
will not. lint perhaps you tell me
that the latter part of the verse
shows that God has something to do,
in the matter. It reads, "For it is j
God who workcth in you both to
will and to work for his good pleasure."
There is here, however, no
release given from your personal responsibility
for your own salvation.
It rather Ibis responsibility
j more strongly. It is as if God said J
to the farmer, "Plant your seed, and |
j diligently care for your growing corn,
and I will send the sunshine and
, the rain to make-sure the harvest." j j
Without God's provision for makingj (
the soil fruitful, man's labor is vain.

So here (Jod says, "Work earnesty

Ac have every encouragement to

ger and serious damage.
The triith is, salvation is no hoiiday
affair. We cannot lie saved if
wo would, except as wo engage Jill
our powers for this end. Indolence,
a pampering of oneself, or being
borne upwards on angels' wings, a
taking passage in some beau Li fill balloon
totheskies conducts not to salvation.
Vonr balloon will never
reach heaven. It will collapse, and
drop you on the rocks or into the
ocean. (Jod never.makes an athleto
without his own self-training. (Jod
never makes a philosopher without
his own earnest thinking. And he
w ill never save you unle - you enlist
the energies of your moral and spiritual
nature in complying with the
conditions and using the appointed
means of of sal vat ion.
And then, who would wish to he
saved without work? The very desire
to be saved while inactive and
lazy with respect to Christian duty,
shows one to he utterly unfit for the
kingdom of God. Only as we work
can we have true spiritual enjoyment.
Only thus do our higher faculties be
come developed and grow strong.
Only thus do we rise to our true dignity
as creatures made in the image
of God. This is the heroic way of
salvation, the only honorable way.
And the faithful disciple olChrist
says: "I do not want to be saved in
sloth, or self seeking, or in some easy
way which did not humble me and
tax my powers to the utmost. I
know I can do no least thing to wurit
salvation. Nevertheless my highest
welfare requires that I work with
all my powers. To be saved without
work, if the thing were possible,
would be no salvation. It. would
not satisfy my longings, It would
never realize my ideals."

tary quartette in the House. Unlike
Gens. Hooker and Henderson, he is
not an orator, nor is he as slow and
stately as Gen. Hanks. He deserves
the distinction of being the most active
man upon his feet in Congress,
and I do not believe any of his associates
will dispute that title with
him. He is short and slight in
stature, with a long flowing l>eard
and his hair hangs in soft gray locks
about his shoulders. Ho was origiginal
a Georgia man and was educated
at West Point Military Academy.
He resigned from the United States
army at the beginning of the war
and become a lieutenant of cavalry
in the Confederate army, lie was
one of the most dashing and courageous
cavalry fighters in the late war,
and the Congress gave him a vote of
thanks for his successful military
operations and for the defence of the
city of Aiken, South Carolina. The
latter State also publicly thanked
k: i.!? - it - i
nun tor nih guiiani services on that
occasion. He is a member of the
committee on military affairs, and is
regarded as one of the most, indefatigable
workers in Congress.
HOME SHAM HKROKH.
There arc other military heroes in
the present Congress, hut the four 1
have mentioned are conspicuous because
of their many different qualities
and characteristics. Besides, they
are always pointed out to strangers
as real "fighting" statesmen. There
are so many men in Congress who
call themselves "General," or "Colonel,"
who have never smelt powder,
that it pleases visitors to look upon
some of the men who actually fought
in tin* great civil war. It is also
noticeable that the men who did the
hardest lighting are the least apt to
refer to it in debate. The discussions
that come up in Congress growing
out of the war are generally very
interesting and conducted in the
most spirited way. The men who
resort to extreme sectionalism are invariably
those who were hundreds of
miles from the front when the fighting
was in progress. Kvery now and
then some obscure member will
burst forth in an oration calculated
to stir up bad feeling North and
South. While he is talking, some
of his associates are apt to produce
his military record, and, invariably,
he is found to he either a sutler or
something of a similar type. The
real fighters seldom talk about what
they have done in that line, and
they do not hesitate to sav that they
do not want anything to do with civil
wars.
A HUMOROUS HIGH PRIVATE.
Of all the men in Congress who
claim to have served in the war there
is but one man who admits that he
was still a private when the civil
war ended. His name iH John M.
Allen, and he represents the 1st
Congressional district of Mississippi.
He made his reputation as a wit in
his maiden effort, when he declared
tllilt 111' "\VI1U I tw> rtlllv/ O...I
...W Vi?v X/III T |M t T (?IU I' I 1 (V I
came out of the war alive." It was
not that simple declaration that
struck his hearers as being so amusing,
hut it was the droll way in
which he brought out that point.
He is now regarded as one of t he
humorous members of the House,
and lie can always command- attention
and create a laugh, no matter
how dreary the subject under debate
may be. When John Allen is on
the lloor he is apt to say something
funny before he takes his seat.
PAYING PENSIONS.
Tlic Funny Man of Mississippi
Makes Some Remarks.
Mr. Allen, of Mississippi, said that
he once knew a lawyer in Mississippi
who always prefaced his argument
to the Court hy saying that he did
not wish to militate the majesty of
the law nor contravene the due avoirdupois
of the testimony. He (Mr.
Allen) wished to say that he did not
militate the majesty of the performances
of the soldiers of the late war,
nor contravene the due avoirdupois
of the Covernment toward them. He
did not lielittle the services of the
Federal soldiers. To do so, would
be to belittle his own. He was one
of the men whom they had to overcome,
and that was a herculean task.
(Laughter.) He did not take pride
in the pet that he had to be overcome,
our. he did take pride in the
fact that it took an immense force
to overcome him. (Laughter.) When
ht remembered that there were but
fi()0,000 enlistment* in the Confederate
army; when he remembered that
the South had no navy, 110 Trcaaurv,
no store*, and when lie wiw told that
it had a bad cause the. idea occurred
to him that, had the South had a
clear field, a fuir shake, and a good
cause, it would have been n mighty
bud buzz saw to monkey with.
[Laughter.] When the country came
to counting hundreds of millions for
the payment of pensions, it was
weighing the money, not on the
apothecary's scale, but upon the
Fairbanks' improved platform car
scaies. i daughter. | lie did not know
wltero this thing was going to stop.
Ho had a high regard for tin? Government.
He was might % sorry he
tried to break it up, but if gentlemen
were going to carry pension legislation
to its legitimate conclusion.
Congress had better stop and have
an accounting. It looked to him us
if the country would have to let the
Crand Army of the Republic take
the Government. (Laughter.) He
honored the gentleman from Indiana
(Mr. Cheadle) for his loyalty to I Inprivate
soldier. The difference between
the gentleman and himself
was that he wanted to pay Federal
soldiers partly in honor, while the
gentleman wanted to pay them in
cash. ( Laughter. |
Dunning Postal Cards.
Less than two years ago Congress
passed an net making it a criminal
offense to mail a postal card containing
written or printed matter of a
"libelous, scurrilous, defamatory or
threatening character or calculated
and obviously intended t?? relied in
juriously upon Hie character or conduct;
of another." The penalty for
a violation of the law is a tine not
exceeding live tlmv and dollars, imprisonment
for not more than live
j <ii immii one sum l in prison men t.
I * this statute si St. Louis
business man was indicted for mailing
these two postals on a customer:
"1'lease call ami settle account,
i which is long past due, and for
j which our collector has called several
times.''
To this the customer evidently
| paid no attention, as the following
j was sent to him a few days later:
"You owe us $1.8o. We have
called several times for same. If not
i paid at once we shall place same
with our law agency for collection."
The I'uiUd States District Court
holds that the sending of the first
was not hut that tin- mailing of the
secoml was u criminal offense. The
reuson given for the distinction is
that the second contained a threat
to sue, which was "both calculated
and intended to humiliate and injure
thr person addressed in public estimation,"
while the first was not open
to this objection. Of the first .fudge
Thayer says:
"The language employed is not of
a threatening character, and, in my
opinion, no jury would be warranted
in finding, in view of its contents,
that it was obviously intended by
the writer to reflect injuriously on
the character or conduct of the per
son addressed, or to injure or do,
grade liim in the eyes of the public.
It is true that it. contains a demand
for the payment of a debt and says
that it is long past due and thai a
'collector has called several times,
hut it is couched in respectful terms
and no intent is apparent to put it
in such form as to attract public notice,
or to make it offensive to the
; person addressed."
In view of this decision, which we
think is eurrvimr I h.? ts
v.?. . ( i *? ?? ikii I/' ? <111 I" A
' treme hardly warranted, business
men will find it prudent either to
enclose demand* for money in sealed
envelopes or to be eareful about
what they write on postal card*. N.
