LOST THEIR VOICES.
To the Editor of The News and Herald:
Can you inform me whether our liepresentatives
iu Congress are all dead ? are
they all struck dumb at the sudden calamity
that has befallen the South in the
death of our own Jell*. Davis? Where
fore have they not voiced the sentiment
pf the people that they, are sent
to-represent? Have they in their old
a^e'grOtvJi ashamed of their youthful
follies- ?- "Why is it these men who never
fliuchtJ. in the storm of battle wjien i
deatli came thick and fast, have
not the manliness to give, if only in
whispers, utterance to the inner sentiments,
expression of a feeling that will
find an echo in the heart o1> every
Southerner?
The type of Southern character, manliness,
virtue and heroism now lies
silent in death, and his people smitten
11 woe have a right to expect that
those who have made such loud protestation
of esteem while at home
should find their voices whan abroad.
But a few weeks since one of these
paid a glowing tribute to the living.
"Well he is dead now; and they in
Yankeedom. maybe, when the next
election comes, will find their
voices. They will be at home then.
They had better stay at home.

j Jcnes who was carelesly handling a
j pistol. He lived about two hours
! after the shot was find. The pistol
used was a 88 caliber self-acting

believed to be purely accidental, as
there was no ill feeling existing be1
tween the two. This should be a
warning to all that the pistol is a
dangerous toy to handle even when it
is ''empty." An inquest will be held
by Coroner Hinnant to day.
A Family Relic.
"We all know with what pride, and
even tenderness,, the father and mother
of a family oftentimes regard old
pieces of furniture; a picture; a piece
of cracked riiina, which to others may
seem usele:but whiJ) to them is
closely identified with the dear old days
.when they first "went to housekeeping."
An instance worthy of notice, came
under the writers observation ;i
few days since, at JSalina, Kansas:
a family in which a Davis Sewing Machine
had been in use for tlue last eighteen
years, were about to lose their
first-born?a handsome young lady?
by marriage. The question arose as to
what the bride should cam* to her new
home, as the particular gift of father
and mother. It wr.K promptly decided
that nothing could be more so appropriate
as the sewing machine. The
motner looKeci sit uk ucar viuuiauinik^
which had served her so faitlifully for
so many years: upon wlvich baby's wee
garments liad been made, and upon
which had just been finished her wedding
trosseau. The tear* welled up
into her gentle eyes, and she said to
the father "We cannot let it -go."
After Standing a moment in silence,
tenderly regarding the family friend,
they decided to give to their daughter
to carry to her new home, u New HighArm
Davis Vertical Feed Sewing Machine,
feeling assured tliat it would be
to her, in years to come, all that ti*>
old machine had been to her parents..

The following snort oui oeauuiui
tribute to the memory of the late Dr.
T. T. Robertson was rend before the
Fairfield Medical Association at its
last meeting by Dr. J. (J.-Buchanan
and was ordered by the Society 10 be
published In Thk News axd Herald.
Since we last met together, Mr.
President, one of our members has
passed away* full of years and honors;
and though "Honor** v rice cannot. provoke
the silent dust," \et it i? biit
meet and befitting the memory of an
eminent citizen aud progressive physician
that we should render a tribute
commensurate with his ?reat worth
and excellence.
A profession that pays no homage
to its d.stinguished Votaries, that
passes unnoticed the death or these
and consigns thein to the oblivious
grave can have no tradition or history.
Without a tradition or history any
vocation must be destitute of that high
incentive, the noblest and mostpow-j
erful lever to the acquisition of knowledge
and progress of science. Without
au ambition which seeks the gratification
of the desires of the noblest
and most unselfish part of our nature,
which does not hold that all of life, or
itu happiuess, consists in its pecuniary
reward: but which seeks the praise of
our iellowmen by the rectitude of
conduct, by the pursuance- of lofty
aims ^ without this ambition the profession
would be shorn of its diguity,
and instead of an honorable rivalry
among its members, there would be a
resort to low artifices, new too frequently
practiced.
Thi?, then, Mr. President, is the
pTcnsc. if anv be necessary. for recall
ing to vour ruinds the character, the
events of a life remakablein the length
of its activity, in the fruitfuluess aud
success of its deeds. To few, is it
permitted, to pursue without interruption
a career of fifty >ears. To still
fewer, is it permitted, to obtain the
success, to acquire the fund of knowledge
with which our departed friend
met with and which he possessed in the
various departments of medical literature.
Educated in the dark days of pro
fessionai knowledge, his mind was so
strong aua liberal as to eradicate from
it every vestige of antiquated belief,
to appropriate and assimnlate the new
| order as established by observation
and experiment.
Tenacious of fix?d truth and law,
he was ever vigilant in the search of
development in new fields of thought
or practice. Modest and reticeut to a
fault, when, by rapid or slovr process
of reasoning, he arrived at a conclusion,
nothing could diminish his faith
in its correctness; and ins intrepid
spirit never faltered nor feared responsibility,
fortified with the invincible
armor of truth, when he undertook
plans based upon these conclusions.
Reserved, but frank; firm and true
in friendship, but not demonstrative;
generous without ostentation; with a
kind heart?sympathetic beyond measure?he
wai the impersonation of all
that Romance could have portrayed,
or that Reality could have desired.
In the vigor of life he was the peer
; of any man in South Carolina. lie
! had no sunerior. as is attested by the j
profound respect in which his opinions
were held, by his numerous successful
' operations requiring skill, intelligence
: of a high order, intripidity i:i execuj
tion, and attentiveness. No man has
j a better record.
In his death," Mr. President, the
; Society has lost a valuable and devoted
counsellor, the profession a great physician,
and the State a god and noble
citizen. Looking backward, reviewing
his long service, there is not a mar
upon the "whole structure of his admirable
character at which even enmity
herself can point with caviling
linger. Young members, here is the
model worthy of imitation. "There
| was. there i? no truer, Houier, manner
; man."
The following appropriate resolutions
were passed by the Society upon
the death of Drs. Robertson and [
Lackey:
1. That the Medical Society feels
deeply the loss of her oldest member,
whose services were sincerely appreciated,
ajicl whose earnest interest carried
him often to onr meetings when
his frail and feeble strength, even
buoyed by his great determination,
woald hardly permit.
2. That we express onr admiration
ot the activity, the ceaseless energy,
the independence of character, tne
liberality of mind, geniality of disposition,
and charity, which characterized
onr late President, Dr. Robertson,
and shall remember in sorrow and
kinC'iess these qualities, his respectful
attention to all that was said and
his courteous bearing to every one.
3 We express, m t only our feeling,
but that of the laitv, when we say that
his venerable form will long be missed
and lamented.
4. That these resolutions be inscribed
upon the pages of our minute
book, and that a copy of the same be
sent with deep sympathy to the family
of our lamented* brother, and that the
same be published in The News and

To the Editor of the Xeics and Herald:
In regard to what was said by J. II.
Wade, by way of reply, to my article
on the colored school question. I wish
to say: One has said whose opinion is
worth something: "It is both
1 1- - .1
the sign of u weak cause, ana uuu
manners,-..when any one begins to
abuse' his opponent in the place of
answering his arguments. Discuss
principles and measures, not men."
Now, one can see at a glance, that his
entire reply, was either "a fling" at
ine directly, or at those who appointed
me a teacher in the public schools of
the town. I made no inquiry, "Why
the colored citizens fail to patronize a
colored .school regardless of denomi- ,
national distinctions." They do send '
their children to school. I have now
sixty pupils and still they come. But
for fear the points considered in my
article may liave slipped the mind of
the reader, T repeat them briefly;
i Timt there has been dissatis-1,
faction for years, 011 the part of some
of the colored people., about the way .
educational affairs have been conduct- ,
ed in Winnsboro. (
2. That some are now advocating
sectarian schools supported in part by .
public funds. 1
i urged that one good public ?
school, rightjvconducted and heartily
supported ?>y the colored people,
would to my mind answer the condition
of tilings.
i. I asked all who desire our ad- j
vancement in every true American ,
A-f +lin l/lno AY. I
SC!li5(J IU Ultvu nuiu. ui
pressed under the 3rd head. (
Xow, I wish to say further, in sup- 1
port of .my position that no man has ;
done more since the war for the cause ,
of education in Winnsboro than Rev. 1
AVillard Richardson. The proofs of
this assertion are too numerous to
mention. To this, I add the weight
of the testimony of Prof. R. Means
Davis, of the South Carolina University.
This he asserted in his ad1
drass 'at the dedication of the present |
commodious building at Mt. Zion. ,
Yet some of the colored people opposed
and were not pleased with Rev.
W. Richardson's work. And some i
of those who found fault with .him ]
'i-ltA lmir orlvftcfltp
are among uiwc; ituu nv?? uu<uwv
sectarian schools.
And as to the personal fling at me, 1
being; a minister and teaching- the .pub- '
lie school, and advocating the building 3
of a public school-house, permit mc (
to say, that the colored laymen, of
wliich J. H. Wade is a prominent one,
have had twenty years in which to es- i
tablish and cany on the "'line school," <
of wliich he speaks, and where is it? ,
And where are the colored educated ,
men outside of "the ministerial
ranks," of our community? J. H. '
Wade liimself has not been able to ]
rise higher than teaching a little pay ,
school, which perhaps is the embryo
of one of the sectarian schools advocated.
This is maintained by deprecating
the public school teachers, and '
drawing sharp denominational lines.
"Why not' a minister teach public
schools if he has character, sense and
time? Besides, who has anything to
do with a citizen making an honest
living by any honorable avocation?
This is the age' of the "survival of the
fittest," and perhaps the Trustees of
District Xo. 11 liad something- of the
kind in mind when they made their
appointments. Mr. Editor, already
this article is too lengthy, but allow
me to suggest to Mr. J. II. Wade the
propriety of starting a subscription
for a public school-house and lot. He
says he is willing, and ready. Let the
laymen get to work. I for" one minister
will gladly stand aside, when
tliftv will take un the work. But as a
lover of my race and - especially the
advancement of the young, I dare not
be idle when there is work to be done.
J. C. TVatkixs.
J. II. WADE'S REJOINDER.
To the Editor of the Xeics ami Herald;
Please allow me space to reply to J.
C. "Watkin's article in yonr last issue.
Common sense ought to have led him
to see that there was not a word of
abuse in u;v letter nor is there a iceak
cause.
I simply expressed the sentiments of
ihe citizens, in that, a teacher- selected
" 11? ? ? 1- nf ontt r\f
nom me luiuisiunm ia:m, m v>
the denominations here is objectionable.
The patronage of sixty pupils
is not any proof to the contrary, but
simply the advantage of the citizens'
privilege.
I am sorry to see that he has to flee
for refuge, under the wings of that
good aiTd true man and philanthropist,
the Rev. W. Richardson, than whom
no teaeher has ever done more for us
at Winnsboro.
But that fact is of the past and the
subject of discussion is of the future;
one concerning the establishment of a
school. I repeat that this greatly
needed establishment will not reach
the desired point so long as the colored
* x - 1 ? -? rv\ nHnt*
ministers last; me icau iti luv wuuki.
With regard to myself, I have never
applied for a position in a public
school, but that is no argument against
inv ability to apply. I am truly glad
to know that he is aware of the fact ol
the "surcical of the fittest," but sorry to
see that he thinks, this is the only age,
when the lisurcical of the fittest" be*
longs to every aye.
The honorabie trustees had no such
thought in making their appointment.
They were led to believe, that J. C.
! Watkins was the choice of the people,
| when reullv lie was not. i ao nor,
i ami cannot cast any r? flection on the
! trustees, tor ihey arc me:, of honor
i and integrity, anil really would not
i do anvthii sr against the wishes of the

I - Tf Til ill 1 '
citizens in our school work, bat rather
everything fo enhance it. Next term
we will be able, I trust, to have the
"survival of the Jit text." in the public
school, while I humbly plod my way
in endeavoring to teach my school, as
I have always done, the Rev. Watkius'
blab to the contrary, notwithstanding.
*Mr. Editor, you will please pardon
me for being lengthy.

THE LEGISLATURE.
Columbia, S. C., Dec. G.?Yesterday
was a regular field day in the House.
The bill to amend Section 2084 of the
General Statutes relating to labor contracts
was taken up, and upon an
amendment providing that the terras
of the bargain be reduced to writing a
most lively discussion commenced and
without this amendment the bill passed
the House. Under the bill as passed
it will be very difficult to prove a violation
of the laborer's side of the
agreement. The "defects were all
shown to the House by different members
of the Judiciary Committee, but
the farmers seemed to think the bill
would accomplish what they designed
and it was carried to its third reading.
Many a poor farmer will think of this
when his hands begin to leave him
next July aud he rinds out that,
alihougb he made a contract with the
scoundrel, his farmer friends in the
Legislature have passed a law making
it vprv hard to Drove the crime.
The usury bill cauie up providing
that no contracts.shaM be made for the.
use of money greater than seven per
cent, except contracts in writing
wherein eight per cent, only shall be
allowed. The advocates of the bill
contended that this would compel
b-inks and loau associations to reducc
the rate of interest to eight per cent.
Mr. Buchanan, amongst others, contliuf
lliichiM wmiM itUTfflcp thfl
rate of interest, nut reduce it, because
this would keep cut of the State loan
companies and would thus far reduce
the competition that in the very nature
of things, when money became plentiful
by welcoming it in our midst
its rate would be 'reduced, The
farmers wanted money and the lower
the better, therefore it was to their
interest not to proscribe it. The bill

A bill to punish the discharge of fire>arms
in or near any highway was

All the members from
Fairfield voted against it.
The bill to create a Master for Fairfield
County was reported upon favorably.
It is believed by its author (Mr,
Buchanan) that business of the Circuit
Court will be expedited by its passage,
lit thinks that it will save the County
from $200 to $500 each year. A petition

as to know that Willie died triumphant
and happy. It is difficult to realize
the fact that one wborn we had so
lately seen actively engaged in the
hnftinoss of life should now be num
bered with the dead. His memory
will be enshrined in the hearts of all
who knew him.
"His life was gentle, and the elements
So mixed in him, that nature might
stand up
And say to all the world, this was a
man."
"Willie, thou wast mild ana loveiy,
Gentle as the summer breeze,
Pleasant as the air of evening.
When it floats among the trees.
Peaceful by thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in the grave so low;
Thou no more will join our number,
Thou nc more our songs shall know.
"Dearest Willie, thou has left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But 'tis God that has bereft us;
He can all our sorrows heal;
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life has fled,
Then in heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed."
