WINNSBORO, S. C.
Wednesday. June 3. : : : 1891
Most of the papers, which weie
known to be ardent supporters of Governor
Tillman dnrir'g the canvass,
have taken the position that he only
acted and suoke for himself in the
"Alexander incident." The Edgefield
A'h'ertiser, however, thanks Governor
Tillman for the non-election of
Dr. Alexander to a chair in the University,
and commends him highly for
not electing Dr. Alexander. What
has otir contemporary to say >iuce the
publication or the ''private" letter?
Die. Alexander, we think, very
properly declines to pursue the discussion
ot' hio non-reiention by the |
Board of Trustees of the" University.
\ He has made out hi? ci?e, and a very
ctrong one it \va> too. Whenever i
ne-.vsp.ipei"controverts fall down to]
the low level of odious personalities, j
they cea-e to bentfir any one, and only |
amu<es the vulvar. There is a sad '
need of reform ju-t mi this 1 in , and J
Dr. Alexander ha* st*t a stock! example, j
Just so far as the di>cu?*ion Urifts into !
personalities just so far will the pnbiic j
lose sight ot the issues.
Mr. W. P. Cantwell, who has j
been Supervisor of Registration and |
Clerk of the Board of County Com\
missioners foi- Charleston County,!
will probably contest the power of i
the Governor to remove him as Supervisor.
The Governor's astion was j
via?A/1 i>n/in tlirt r>f t?if? '
tant Attorney General, to the effect, j
that the holding- of these twd positions j
was unconstitutional, in chat it was j
contrary to that part of the State Con-'
stitution -which forbids the holding of j
two offices by the same person.j
Whether or not, these particular j
offices are constitutional offices is very j
doubtful, and we arc inclined to think j
that the office of Clerk of the County j
Commissioners does not fall within the !
constitutional provision. Every at- j
torney holds an office in a sense, yet
" he is debarred from accepting and
holding other offices. The CJerk of
the Board of County Commissioners is
analogous.
A Ghost Dance in Florida.
The re-election of Senator Call., of
Florida, lias been accomplished after
what appears to us an unnecessarily
prolonged and foolish contest. The j
Democrats have a unanimous majority
in the Florida Legislature and from!
0 i
the beginning Call had more than \
enough supporters to secure the ma-1
jority oi ol required to eiect m me ;
Joint Assembly. The' opposition tc J
him in his own party was so virulent
that his friends made the absurd con,?_
_ cession of agreeing that no nomination
should be binding unless made
by a two-thirds vote of the party caucus.
This majority Call could not secure
and we have had the remarkable I
spectacle of his frienu> throwing away
their votes, day after day, in order to
avoid electing him. Finally after i
weeks of useless and costly delay Call's j
friends adjourned the caucus sine die, |
and then went into the Assembly and !
did what they should have done long j
ago -elected their man. The Senator's j
opponents tried the expediency of j
absenting themselves in order to pre- j
yent the presence of a quorum of the !
Senate in the Assembly. Enough ;
Senators attended to constitute a ma- i
jority of the Assembly and the game j
\ of the anti-Call men was defeated. !
Another absurdity is the alleged opin- j
ion given bv a member of the defeated i
. j
party that the election is not valid on j
account of the lack of a quorum of :
the Senate in the Joint Assembly.
He evidently docs not realize that the I
present Act of Congress was framed J
especially to prevent a deadlock aris- j
ing from the refusal of a majority of j
either House to participate in the Joint {
Assemo v. utnerwise in case me i
Senate were Republican and the House ;
Democratic it would be possible for
the Minority party to prevent a senatorial
election by refusing to participate
in it and the State would thus be
deprived of its representation in the
Senate.
The election of Senator Butler in j
lt><0 is a ease m p?mr. -t\r uo.umej
did a quorum of the S. C. Senate at- j
tend the election in the Wallace House,
but when 79 members in all had an- j
swered to their names, Butler was de- i
dared by Speaker Wallace to hare j
been duly elected and he was seated in j
the U. S. Senate. If we mistake not j
Senator Turpie, of Indiana, was elected j
in the same way. The talk, therefore,
?. of the disgruntled minority in Florida j
is as absurd as the conduct of the Call j
men in consenting to the proposition ;
liJUt It MZUILIU IV^UllC UlU&t; > IV j
nominate in a Democratic caucus than :
to elect him in a full legislature. It is j
difficult to see how the situation could"!
have been more ludicrou?. and the j
want of common sense, to say nothing: j
of statesmanship, could have been :
more emphasized. The people of j
i-ionua wno inusi pay me piper iorms :
ghost dance ought to hold all tlie
dancers to strict accountability.

Anuronriatc. ;
A ladv lias made u peculiarly happy
and appropriate suggestion a > to I he
mode of raising funds for the Jefferson
Davis monument. She suggests that
all of the boys and girls in tr * or- ;
gani/.e with respect to their respective
wards, and a committee of them be
appointed to canvass the four wards, j
one committee for each ward, and
collect contributions from the children. :
When the funds ?hal' have reached a
sufficient amount, or when the canvass j
lias been thoroughly made, they can be j
deposited in either of the uanKs, or i
left with The News and Heuai.d, ami (l
they will be sent to Mr. J. L. Weber. :
of Charleston, who will send his receipt
for the same. The children in'
the country arc earnestly requested to |
co-operate with those in town, and we j
hope that their parents -srill tell them j
of this plan. All under seventeen |
years of age will be expected to take I
part in this work. We would suggest,
to these in the country that they effect j
then* organization at school, as it
would probably be m?st convenient:
and it would not be a bad idea for the
teachers to give them a short talk on
Jefferson Davis. The teachers in the
county could assist wonderfully in
inspiring the children in this matter,
and we hope they will set some day
between now and the 18th iust. when
a short talk on the life and character
of the great Confederate chieftain will
be given to the children of the schools,
and request the children to bring their
contributions on that day. The contributions
should be forwarded by the
20tli or 25th of this month.
Surely the children of the South
could engage in no nobler work than
by'their own efforts to contribute to
the perpetuation of the memory of (he J
"Martyr of the Confederacy", the man !
who died without a country and suf- j
lereci lor me wo. iuch ^auitio.
They should be encouraged by their
parents, many of whom fought in the
bloody struggle to maintain the un- j
dying principles of government enun- j
ciated by Jefferson Daris, and it would I
impress upon their young minds the j
fact, that the valor, the indomitable !
tenacity of principle for principle's j
sake, the purity and beauty of char-1
acter, which so strongly marked Jeffer- i
sou Payis, shall never be forgotten by
the South, and that the cause of their
fathers was their cause. Yes, the
monument to Jefierson Davis should
be not only-a monument erected by
the followers of the great leader, but
the monument should represent a testimonial
to his everlasting memory
erected by them, their children and
their children's children. It is proper j
that the children should have an opportunity
to du honor to the man who
served his country with the most
marked patriotism and whose tenacity
tn Ma /vmviftimis stands iwrhuws with
out a parallel in history: who suffered
the humiliation of the prisoner's chains,
yet dignified their clanking', who was
defeated, yet grand in "defeat?and i
who bore it all with a fortitude and I
manliness that has never been excelled,
aud all for the cause of their fathers.

the "Alexander incident." Or. Alexander
has replied vigorously to the
article of Mr. Ira. B. .lyi.es, published
a few diVi?ago in the Xctrs and Courier,
and his citM\ lucid, forcible and logical
presentation of the whole matter is
convincing, and cru-lu< Mr. Jones.
Dr. Alexander shows w:iat has been
called "a true and authentic account
of the Alexander incident-'' to be a
grossly inaccurate account i:i nearly |
every particular.
There are two questions that. are
raised by Mr. June*, aiid that the ;j.iblic
have wanted answered. First, !
Did Dr. Alexander voluntarily thrust
hia r#?liv?ic?iiS vifws HtlOll the board 01
' ?- trustees?
Second, Did his religious
views have anything to do with his j
removal or d^missa!, or retirement j
from the faculty of the University?
Tiiese are answered, and any one who
will teid the account given bv Dr.
Alexander, which i- stregtheu-'d by
the correspondence between himself
and the Governor, will lind the an
swer>.
Mr. Jor.es charged that Dr. Alexander
had im occasion to touch on his
religion- views before the board of
trustees, but made the occasion. In
an>wer tc tliis Dr.-Alexander >ay>:
L*:t us now* hear what Col. Sloan,
\\ bo really made the 4\-?eeassioti" lias
to say on the suhj-ct. I quote from
the Record of May 24.
''01. Sloan asked if Bain, whose
text book on logic is used, was not j
sceptical. 'AIy object in asking this
question,' said C?l. Sloan (t"> a Xetcs
and Cornier reporter)' v?as to give him
an opportunity of explaining his po
sition before the trustees, a< I had j
heard minors about his scepticism.'
41 d ) n?t hesitate to say now that it' a :
vote hau been taken on the election of j
Prut". Alexander, after that exumina-!
tiou, lo any chiir in the University, I
would have voted against him or any j
other man upon the ground that I
wouid not have considered it best for

prol*i'>>or there who did not believe in !
the divinity of Christ. Knowing as 11
do the religions sentiment of the pec- J
pie of this State, I do not believe that
her citizens would or could consis- j
tently maintain an institution which 1
supported one who denied the holy I
conception ot Urinse aim ins uivinuy. \
I can say this without disparaging the j
hiyli attainments of Prof. Alexander,
for I admire him personally and have i
a thorough appreciation of hi?accomp-:
lishracnts as a scholar/ "
So here is at least one trustee w ho !
wa? influenced by the Religious views !
of Dr. Alexander, and purposely made '
the occasion for Dr. Alexander to i
make a statement of ic'igh u= < <>! .victiiui>.
Ii was teii (ia\s before the board met j
again, and in the meantime Dr. Alexander
received the letter given below,;
which showed that his religious belief
would have something to do with his
election as a professor:
[Private.] ril 22, ?,J1.

and sympathies of many of the trustees
shou.d have gone forth in snch a way,
and at such a time.

The seeker after truth, the
man who in this vale ot tears honestly
strives to know and ilo what is right
without pandering to the prejudices or
surrendering to the ignoraut clamor of
the multitude, must, like the meek aud
1 otv i>* Jesus, expect persecution and
sorrow as his lot. To few is given the
ability or will to swiui against the current
of popular ideas or attack old
customs. The masses of mankind in*
"* 11
herit tiieir religion ana nave no wen
di lined opinion on this subjecv. In
proportion as thev are ignorant are
they bigoted?but I must not trespass
further on your time or patience. I
only desired to let you know that I do
nut share >uch feelings.
With assurances of the highest respcct
I am very truly yours,
ii. II. Tillman.
To Dr. W*. J. Alexander.
Dr Alexander further states that before
the meeting on the 1st of May
that he had conversations with several
of the trustees "and ali, without exception,
speke of the danger, and some of
the certainty of my (his) removal,"
but he is not at liberty to publish their
names. lie quotes Col. Sioan, however,
and Col Sloan consents to it, as
saving to him before this meeting on
the 1st of May: "Professor, I think, I
know the feeling of all the trustees
toward you, ami can say that, while
they all appreciate your ability and
high character, your religiouse views
and nothing but your religious views
;vill cause your removal." Dr. Alexander
had heard (hat he had used his
chair lo "imperil the faith of the
young' men under his charge," and
therefore alt he meeting of the trustees,
next held, lie made his "statement*'
which began thus: "I hare
been in formed by more man one 01
your body that I shall probably be dismissed
from the University because of
my religious views." Not one of the
trustees disavowed it, but went into
the details of Dr. Alexander's religions
belief, prompted as Mr. Jones would
have us believe by idle cmiosity.
Dr. Alesadder closes his paper as
ioiioyvs:
The trustees are in a painful dilemma
and are writhing' to extricate themselves.
They cannot extricate themselves.
(Jo!. Sloan boldly throws
himself on the first horn and allows it
to ?rorc him thrcn?h and through.
Thi< is manly, whatever else may be
said of it. Mr. Junes, with greater
boldness?with a temerity, inueca,
amounting to desperate rashness?
throws himself 0:1 the other horn of |
tin* dilemma and gets in a still worse !
plight. For how stands the case?
Thus:
Either t!,e tru-tees retired uic on account
of my religious views, or they
diil not retire me for such cause. If
they diil. they expose themselves to the
charsc of religious intolerance*, or, at
least, of pandering to the feeling of
religions intolerance, which Ihevsuppose
t<> prevail among "the musses."
If they did not, they hu\e done what
many will regard as still worse. They
have exposed themselves to the charge
of gross impertinence and solemn
- *? ?1... c-/v 11* o o
inning uy ijuumiuuuj^ mc mo
to ray religious views, when such
questioning had no significance whatever,
but was "solely suggested by the
interest, and curiosity wiiich the members
of the board would naturally
ft el" in ' ho virtw* of Un'taiiaiis.
But this i> not the worst: Oil this
suppOi-iiion :he; board,in pure wantonness,
and without any inoive whatever
but idle curiosity, saw fit, while
retiring ine from tin; University for
other and entirely ?iin..'rcw reason*, 10
advertise me as a heretic, and tlitis
close ihe doors of every Southern
college against in-'. To mm one aside
from his life work ?a work to wnioh
he lias eonscerated his best energies
and for which he lias spent years of
laborious | reparation?is a severe
blow under any circumstances. While
doing ibis, 10 effectually close up every
opening again-t him by branding him
as a heretic, is what could be justified
only by the exigencies of the public
weal. Cut t<> do this out of mere

that he o:i!y spoke lor himself. This

whole matter, ;isi?l Dr. Alexander
makes clue acknowledgment of it.

from our esteemed friend, Dr. j
JI. "W. Owens, savs that the farmers ,
in the vicinity oi Elko are jubilant (
over their prospects. Cotton has been
chopped out, is being- hoed the second [
time, corn waist high, etc., etc. With
U3 the contrast is vivid and painful.
Few have chopped much cotton, and
the trouble is, there is nothing approximating
a good stand. The universal
cry is "Why did the cotton come up
so badly?" The solution ?f that
question should not be very difficult.
There was so much rain last fall that

It is not exactly au fait to moralize
when writing for a county paper, but
we crave your gracious indulgence,
for we wish to give uttarance to some
thoughts by which we have been
haunted for some time. There is a
commandment which says:
' Thou shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighbor." If au accusation
should be brought against us for
murder or theft we would be horrified,

above. All of us are guilty in a greater
or less degree. Some remark is made
rather detrimental to our neighbor'9
character; too often is listened to; we
rcceive it with a covert smile and an
"I tokl you so" kind of an expression.
When repeated to another it is greatly
magnified, and by the time it has "gone
the rounds-' is so distorted that the
one who started it is completely nonplussed,
so much so as not to recognize
it a? having emanated from his or
her lips.
St. Paul speaks of Charity as being j
greatly superior to Faith or Hope.
Wc prate of '-'foreign missions'- while
nil the time the poor heathen? may be
better off than we. Surely when we
break one of God's commaudments j
we arc far more guilty than those who '
are in ignorance of them.
Charity ;,'covers a multitude of
faults." and truly we should all endeavor
to cultivate the divine virtue.
We may be guilty of many sins against
Charity without teliing a direct falsehood.
If we credit an evil report regarding
our neighbor without the most
irrefragable proof of guilt, we sin
against eharitv, and if we repeat that
? Mi.. *
rumor we arc guilty ot ucuauuou.
Could we realize how hateful i3 the >
sin of slander, the bitter evils of envy, j
the blighting' effects of uncharitable-|
ne>s, when contrasted with the beauty |
and virtue of silence when the repu-j
tut ion of our neighbor is assailed, the !
holiness of patience, the glory of true J
charity, the blessed trait of forgiccness,'
we would surely make an heroic effort
to overcome ail propensity to sin)
against charity. The most criminal #f j
all false witnesses are these garnished |
here and there with truth making a
plausible array of statements which
can scarcely be contradicted without
making the truth suffer by dragging it
through the mire of misrepresentation
and falsehood, into which it has been
plunged by inadvertence or infinitely
worse?malice.
There are calumnies
"So jurat as to con'ound innocence."
There is a great hue and cry against
dancing, though God gave no command
against it, while sins against Charity i
are ignored or condoned.
