them end the controversy, anS we before
that ihe public desired an end to
the communications as ranch as we
did. Now we desire to say that we
hint no longer. The controversy has
become intensely and offensively personal,
and any farther article sent to
this office on the subject will be returned
to the author if accompanied
with postage, otherwise it will be
destroyed. If correspondents desire
to attack each other, and not their
views about public questions, it must
be done through the mails, or face to
face, or in any way they see proper,
but it can not be done through this
newspaper.
We never take sides in a controversy
of this kind, bat. in fairness, wj may
say that, in our opinion, a canvass of
the political faith of the volunteers
will show tbatia numerical numbers
neither of the former political factions
in this State has any decided advantage
and certainly nothiug to boast |
about. Aside from this, the vital j
question iust now is, how the State is |
going to furnish its quota of vulun-j
teers. It needs them, and needi them
badlyS and it is no time to talk about
what should be their political complexion.
Let us rise to tbe importance
of ths occasion, and stop our little
quarrels among eurselve?,. Even a
partisan body like Congress has laid
atide politics, aor pat ewrntry, lor the
time being at iffest, above politics.
State ba? a repatetioa fco eustaiB,
a?d TiilmanUcs and Ceaisrvatives
*.- have alike contributed to the making
of that reputation. Let tiiem alike
sanain it. If we shall fail by reason
of a little bickering arisiag oat of local
politics, how imail it would make as
in the eyas of the rest of this great
coontry. Be done with it!
Ws have reeeived a communication
from Mr. D. L. Carter in reply to
Major Woodward's last communication.
As Mr. Carter does not get the
Tri-Weekly, he no doubt had not seen
that we had put an end to this controversy.
It may appear an injastice
to Mr. Carter not to puwisn ins article,
but as we have determined to stop it
somewhere, the beginning point mast
be made wiih some one. In viow of
one feature in Major Woodward's
article, a statement that Mr- Carter is
not the author of the article, signed
00^ _^>^_J^rriTate G. B. H.," should be made.
Mr. Carter makes this declaration in
his article, and we may state here that
??/* ?? ?>io anthrtr. \fr. Carter
iiU 19 UVk iUW MMVMV* ? ? - ?
thinks that Major Woodward has
grossly insukei him and demands an
apology through News, axd Herald.
This is the substance of bis article, and
now we most insist once core that no
farther personal attacks will be permitted
through this paper.
It is reported that Governor Ellerbe's
friends are trying to have him appointed
a Brigadier, General. Now
why? What military .record has he?
"What peculiar qualifications has he to.
8erv?in this capacity? Considerable
complaint-has bceajmade io some of
the northern States that civilians have
been appointed by the Piesideut to
very important military positions be-1
cause either they themselves or their
fathers or some ancestor had a pal),
and we hope that the President will
not carry this policy into the South.
It is always gratifying to see a southern
man honored by the Federal
Government, but we believe in the
eternal fitness of things. With the
kindest feelings towards our Governor,
we do not think such an important
military office should be entrusted to j
him. Hislrienas are not only aoiog
him injustice, bat if successful they
will hare done a great injustice to the
soldiers who may be . ander him.
Politics should hare nothing to do
with tfeo cenduex of this war, and the
mta fact that he is Goreraor does not
male* him competent.
There are f>:eaty ?f experienced
soldiers. Give the positions to them.

The whole State wiil fee glad that
Cel. Allston's full regiment has been
completed. He left his basinets to
join th? army, and for about a month
he has given his service without any
^ pay. The company has bee* taken
from Major Thompson's battalion, and
a cosnpanv will have to be found for
Major Thompson. While Col. Allstona,
friends will rejoice that he has been
aworn in, everybody must admire the
graceful manner in which Major
Thoupson surreudered his company.
Fortuca-ely Major Thompson has been
regaiarly sworn is, and of course will
draw bis pay. His condact has been

special effort onght to be made to sopply

WILt frAIBFIELD HELP? (
Mr. I. L. Withers, of Colombia, j
having heard that Mr. J. W. IUnahan t
had a list of those in Fairfield who f
wanted to volunteer, wrote to him to |
know if he could not send down some 5
men to nake out Col. Allston's 12th 1
company. The oi5c?r? of this company
will be Capt. Carroll, of Aiken, j
1st Lieut. I. L. Withers, of Colombia, ]
and 2nd Lieut. O'Brien, of Charleston. I
Mr. Withers states ttot arrangement! 1
be made for transporting the men
to Colombia, and care will be taken |
of them after thiy reach there. i
Some inside information points to '
tbe fact thrt the regiment from this
State goes iuto Lee's Division, and ,
will be sent to assist in tbe capture of i
Porto Rico.
Mr. Withers Is a Fairfield man, and
from our knowledge of hi a he wou'd
make a cool, brave officer, and what
i? abool as important an officer of
I
fine jaclgment.
Sinca the letter jast mentioned was
written, a company has been tekeo
from Major Thompson's battaiion to
complete the regiment, bat the battalion
needs a company. Will Fairfieid
not assist in forming it? Maj>r
j Thompson is not only a good officer,
I bat a polished gentleman and we believe
that Fairfield boys would fiod
I iiim a very acceptable officer.
Mr. H&nahan has no list, but we
j have no donbt there is plenty of material
in the county.
Lieut. Hobsox's sinking the Merrimac
in Santiago harbor was a heroic
act, and it is gratifying to know that
he is n Sou hern man. Hi9 ancestors
are of good North Carolina stock, and
he hioself is a son of Alabama. Out
I of the three heroes of this war, Dewey,
Bagley, and Hob3on, the South claims
two.
It is reported that Bryan'a regiment
will te sent to the Phillipiue Iilands,
and it has been suggested that the
war will be prolonged to reiire him as
a candidate in the next campaign.
Capt. Sigsbee seem? to be a man of
bad lack. On the Maine, his ship was
blown up; on the St. Paul, hi* ship
was disabled. The ^Spaniards don't
like Sigsbee, evidently.
CHILDREN'S' DAY AT A>U?GH
6HURCH, IiLAOKSX0CK CIKCFBT,
Mr. Editor: At the request q/ the
pastor, I herein give jour readers a
shorl account of Children*' Day, at
Autiach Church, Blackstock circuit,
Rev. P. B. Ingram in charge, j
The 21?t inst., which was chosen as
the day for the exercises, dawned on
as beautiful and br'ght; and as old
Sol rose in the heavens the day grew
hot. The heat, however, was mitigate^
to a small extent, by a gentle
breeze, and to a considerabb extent,
by the thoughtfulncss and liberality
of Hon. John G. Wolling, who kept a
barrel filled with pure ice water, and
conveniently placed near by in the
shade.
Enclosed, the writer has the pleasure
ofsenaiog you a copy of the
C(Childreo!fi_D-*y flarvica", ?wp--plement,
as published, at Nashville,
by the agents of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South for ttie use of the
Sunday Schools evervwhere within
its bounds. He does this, that yon
I may see, for yourself, that the program
is elaborate; and, if carried out
in full and perfectly, would afford '
entertainment and instruction to old 1
1 - ? Tii- ~
1D1 yOUD2( iillKt!> -LUC ivilbci luiuau
he can safely say tLat Bro. Woliing, i
the superintendent of ih< Sunday J
School, has every reason to be prond 1
of this, his first attempt to carry ont
the program of Children's Day.
For the song service, the most difficult
part of the program, he had the
assistance of Mrs. D. 0- Anderson, }
the organist, and teacher of music iu ,
the Feasterville school; as also the aslistance
of Prof. Anderson, of whose i
ecnool the children of the Sunday ]
school composed the larger portion, j
As the object of these exercises i? to
interest and instruct the children,
their parents, and visitors, ^e fee! J
quite safe in saying that this ???? wa= i
successfully accomplished, j Iging
from the results as evidenced hi the
smiling, happy faces of both old and
you?g. The writer heard but one 1
sentiment, expressed in the words, i
"flow well the children have done, ]
especially in their singing; and what \

service, the supplement, the dinner, (
and our social intercourse!"
According: to the program, the first
address in order was that of ths pastor,
Rev. P. B. Ingram, of Blackstock.
Those ot us who know him as a
speaker were ready to enjoy his inimitable
talk from the objeet-subjscl,
"A Lead Pencil." We wish you
could have heard him, Mr. Editor, and
given a synopsis of his address in
your pager for the benefit of the boys
and girls' and the parent* of Fairfield
County. I cannot do so in this repert.
He speabs with vie* and energy
as if he has something to say and
knows how to say it. His address
was both amusing (as should be the
case on such an occasion, and on a
hot day) and instructive. I wish each
boy and each girl and each parent in
all our noble old State eonld have
heard it. The boy or girl who listened
and who was not stimulated to noble
moires nas a nzina, as yet, anawaK-1i
ened to the possibilities that lie in bis 11
pathway; and tbe parent wbo hear"
and was not aroused to tbe determina-f
tion to give his boy or girl every t
chance, is not worthy the name of \
parent, aud ought never to have been
blessed with children.
Tbe next address in order was from
tbe superintendent of the-Sunday i
SGhool, Hon. John G. Wolftfig, oar c
representative, a prominent man in
the community, a faithfal steward of t
Antioch Church, and a useful man t
generally, lie has a very winning
way about him and a voice to mat:b g
it. All of us wbo know of bis good ?

be gave the childrea, parents and vi3i- i
tors. v
As there was no ?tier address on
the program Prof. Anderson requested c
the privilege of a five minutes talk to e
the children, mcsl of wbom were his a
day pupils. He had presented the c
children with a banner, in the ceatre
of which there was a pure white in- 5
clined eross, aud above and below
thi3, aLeo in white letters, on a dark
gSP?und was ih* <tuot*tk>n, "In thi?

about constructing or dra>ing a '
cross (tbe"6igu") a? he iiad done of
white paper; cind what were the rales
as to the proportions of its relative I
parts. Securing no answer te his
lues'tion, he explained the rale of
neasuremcnt for the different por;ions
of a perfect cross, impressing
heir importance, in drawing or conitructing
this "sign." He then asked .
f anyone would tall him the legend
)r story of the quotation; and reeeirng
no respense ne proceeded to relate
:he facts as obtained from history.

ibout Constumine, the first Christian
Roman emp;ror, and his inlaence.
As the story relates, he
heard these famous words in a
vision, or dream; and he had them
woven into thestandardsof the Roman
irray as their watehword. So each
b?y and girl w?.s exhorted to weave
them into the standard be was bearing
aloft in the battle of Life.
From the "Feast of Reason" we
pass to the "Flow of Soul" in the
shape of a basket picnic dinner spread
oat upon a table, furnished by Bro.
Wolling-, jest in rear of the church
building. It would occupy too much
lime and lake too much of your valuab'e
space to say all that might be said
about the dinner. He does know
whereof he affirms when he declares
thai the ladies of this community
know how to minister to the wants of
the inner-man in the shape of bread,
buiseuit, ham, fried chicken, pickle6,
and "the sich and the like" that stay
on the bottom phelf cf the capboard,
while the cuslards, cakes, pies, aid
'the sich and the like" that stay on the
top shslf of the cnpb?ird have left no
words on our tongue, bat have left a
lingering agreeable taste on o*r palate.
The crowd was order!}', and the
writer "shoo'd" only two do?3 from
under the table. Whether the writer,
with the "parson'g nose" of a fat,

goes with that choice from a fowl, or

be difficult to decide; and as for Bro.
Wolling, be looked as if he felt happy
himself, and wa9 wishing that "everybody
else was in the enjoyment of this
same bnsinees."

the lips of each and every one as the
crowd m?Ited away at the coining of
sundown. Pronged Hoe.

what beformed him.
BY MRS. josie 3. wilkes.
On a cot bo bard and lowly,
Lay a mother's dying child,
Whif? rery near the mother watches,
ThiDking of the faiher wild.
Efe had wrecked their lives already,
And eren then was far away,
At the gaming table sitting,
Sinking lower every day;
Knowing nothing of the battle
Fought within that woman's brest,
Whan she tried to soothe her baby
In ifc last, its last street rest.
Then she thoaght of life hereafter,
When without h"r child ghe'd lire,
On and on through life so dreary,
Wiih no earthly hand to give.
Then she hoard her darling mu;inur,
"Mama, I is 'most well now,"
And the mother's haart was breaking
As she gently ki38ed her brow.
"Let us say our pares iogever,
And th?n when we are done,
Beg ihe dear dood Jesus
To send my papa home."
UI am so tired, mama,
I tannot see tha light,
Raise my hea 1 up des a li-k-t-1 e,
Ti?s m-e n o-w d-o-o-d H-i-g-h-t."
The mother grasped her darling
As if to ?natch away
The icy chain ot death
Which had caaght her in its sway.
"My li e, my all, my treasure,
O, God, why take her too!
And leave my heart so empty,
My joys in life so few."
At that very moment,
_ A footstep sonnded near,
The fattier home too late,
To h?ar his child's last prayer.
God must have sent an arrow
To pierce bis conscience then;
For he tamed awav as if to hide
His shame from her, hia friend.
"Canst thou forgive, 0, God?"
The man, in anguish, eried;
'Take all my guilt and stain away
And keep me by Thy side "
Year* gone by since then,
The wife another child,
To take ;h9 place of ene whose death
Reformed the man so wild.
How God in all His goodness
Forgive all those who try
lo make attonement for their 6ins
Committed io days gone by.

By a little sober thoagbt and tvSee*
tieo we mar arrive at fbe doctrine it
prohibition.
If it ii wreng to sell iwtoaeattng
liqswr as a beverage, th?u the law tkat
licenses such a basinew is vrroH?. If
the law is wrong, then trbose who made
the law is wrong.
It seems to be the almost universal
opinion that it is an nnbo.'y calling for
a person to s?li intoxicating liquor a as
a beverage, and that an odium of pain
lie 8ctitimcnt is always associated witfe
such business.
But are those who sell intoxicants
sinners above all others?
If they are to be eensured for nsing
the liberty whi?h the law gives, are
they more guilty than those who made
fcbelaw?
And are not those who malce and
favor sncii laws parties to wrongdoing?
tiomPta have to the dispensary i?, (hat
siaee the State has engaged in the
liquor business, they are also parties
to such business. The only tfensoJation
that they have is, that the dispensary
was aot established by their vote
or consent Bat they do grieve that
their wish for prohibition, as expressed
at the ballot box ia 1892, was not
heeded.
We want, therefore, to send men to
the next Legislature who will favor
prohibition, and not themselves be,
and cause those whom they repre-ent
to be, parties to wrong-doing.
So we make the call for three m?n
or more who will run in the coming
election on the prohibition tieket, and
believe that their chances for election
in Fairfield County will be good.
