The evil lesults of the persecution of the candidates are not contlned to the can * didate himself. They extend to the people by ' decreasing the supply of available official timber. There is nothing wrong and fre- 1 qnently there is much that is commendable In : the desire lor office. Political ambition Is as > honorable as any other and the man who 1 asks for a position in the public service by ' which he may earn honest bread is doing an entirely proper thing. * The prevailing tendency is to make the 1 path to office as hard ami disagreeable as pos- ' slble and thereby to shut poor and sensitive ' men out of political life entirely. The . G. A X. ? Chester Reporter. For the present, the work on the line wes! of Chester has been stopped, the whole force of workers having been transferred to the eastern end of the line, to finish up the two miles of grading between town and Hamilton McCaudiess place, so as to have the lint from Catawba river to Chester made ready for i the cross ties aud iron.

Jt is wrong lu principal every i way you look at it. Itis nothing more nor I less than an offer toseii the votes of church members indirectly, and it opens a way for candidates to buy their way into office. NVe hope no subscription lists will be presented to the candidates in Anderson County tills year, and if such is done we trust the several candidates have the manhood to refuse. ???

The picnic last Friday was a success In every respect.

Lust week Mr. Will Morris's liorse was pulling a burrow in a field just In the rear of Mr. A. J.

Morris were standing in front of the store and in an-attempt to stop him, Mr. Bradley was struck very forcibly on the leg with the harrow and badly hurt. No bones was broken as he wus struck on the thigh, but was badly bruised. Mr. Bradley says he has learned to act in a runaway scrape, to go the other way as last as you can. Messrs.

RrninrliK or XV. Renct, Enq., nt the .Memorial Meeting of the Abbet ville liar. In our report of the proceedings of the Bur meeting in memory of the lute J,. Wardlaw Smith, Esq., published last week, the remarks made on that occasion by Mr. Benet were unavoidably omitted. Just before Judge Wallace began Ills closing remarks, Mr. Benet said: May il please your JTonour?Having only just returned from attending Court in Sumter. I was not awn r? until a lew minutes ago that the members of the Bar were to hold this solemn meeting this evening. But I cannot sit silent and suffer these sad proceedings to come to a close without adding to what has already by so many been so feelingly and fittingly said, my tribute of grief, of praise and of affection, in memory of Lewis Wardlaw Smith. I have this evening listened to the eulogies which have been pronounced upon him by my brethren of the Bar; they have expressed ardent admiration, nnd high praise, and have pointed out his many sterling qualities as a man. a citizen and a lawyer. Yet have they not come up to the full measure of the noble character of our deceased brother. The Intimate relations which existed between him and me had their beginning many years ago. Well do I remember him as first I saw him,? the bright, blue eyed, fair-haired boy, the elder of the two sons of l heir young war-widowed mother. From that time until deuth closed his eyes. I have known him as one of my school-boys, as young man, nnd as my partner In the law, and may it please your Honour, a manlier boy, a nobler man, than Wardlaw Smith It has not been UenrffliTviU that I should meet with on life's Journey. I will not speak of him as a lawyer;?that has already been done and well done by my brother Bradley, and other brethren of the Bar, but this I will add to what they have saidYour Honour belongs to a generation of lawyers who sometimes fear that the standards of our profession, which were wont to be so hi?h in South Carolina, are now in danger or being lowered by the altered clrcnmstanecs brought about by the war". I/et me assure you that If it were vouchsafed to the Bar of each County in the State to produce a young lawyer like Ward law Smith, those standards would never be lowered. His hands were clean, his heart was pure, his work in the office or at the Bar was free lrom guile, high, honest, straightforward. There Is not left in the Courts of our State to-day, a lawyer of loftier aims nnd purer practices. Those who became his clients remained his friends. 1 cannot forget how one of them told me, with tears coursing down his withered cheeks, that next to the bereaved mother and brother, he would mourn the loss of Wardlaw Smith and feel it most. <v neil uuvt'iims "II lilt) ruuwuy iukl iuunday I saw in the Atlanta Constitution that the Bar of Atlanta had met and passed resolutions on the death of our lamented brother. And when I thought, in connection with this, of what had been said of bis death by the press of tills State and of Georgia, I could not but be profoundly impressed, your Honour, by this fact?that here was a man, a young man, not in public life nor a seeker after political place and prominence, only a young lawyer who did his duty in the law-courts, and yet whose death was mourned by the Bar md the press ot two States as if a great man had fallen. Faithful to the truth, faithful to his work, faithful to his friends,?to yon who knew hiin Dan I better describe him? To me he was far more than u friend. He was more like a younger brother, nay, he was such a friend as sticketh closer than a brother. The heart knoweth Its own bitterness: but my lips are not able to utter what my heart would fain express. As he lived, so he died. Although the grim messenger beckoned to him in the midst of Ills youth, and summoned him to leave his life of active work and usefulness, of hope iiml high ambition, and submit to the rigid regimen of an invalid's doomed existence, itill did he give obedience as became a man und a Christian. Neither sufl'ering nor the *ure approach of death could make his cheerfulness abate nor his manliness complain. And when with startling suddenness the end drew nigh, and he read in the faces of friends around Ills bed that his last hour had come, lie met death with the laith of a child and the courage of a hero. "The pilgrim thoy laid in a chamber whose window opened toward the sun-rising. The name of the chamber was Peace. There he Iny till break of day, and then he awoke and sang." ^ Chronicle* of Phlletun Phllollffnn. In the reign of the great King Grover, there was a certain husbandman who had been greatly prospered all his days, and who bad much laud, and many herds of cattle, swine and sheep; he had also many bonds of the realm, and much gold and silver.. And it came to pass that this great man's end drew uigh, and bet-aid unto himself: "I wot not but my time has come to die; I have been greatly prospered; yea, verily, I have accumulated great wealth, and now I shall leave It in the King's name, that be may build unto me an exceedingly great house, and have much land adjoined thereto, and it Bhall be for the learning of other husbandmen's sons in the manner of tilling the soli, that they may be able, when they have come to man's estate, to be more successful In selling goods In the small villages of this great kingdom, and thereby be made famous and gather together great riches." And It came to pass that this good husband man uieu, uuu was gHLiiereu uiuu ms iuiucrM, and the news thereof, and of the great wealth he had left in the King's name, spread into many cities; yea, even unto that far city, Washington. Now. there was a ccrtain kinsman of his who dwelt in tills distant city, but with whom he had not brake bread in many years, and whose name was Go-Lee-iah. Now, Go-Leeiah had a daughter who was a kinswoman of one of the greatest Lords of the land in the reign of the mighty Washington. When GoLee-iah heard of the death of his kinsman in the distant city, be spoke and said: "Tho" I have much sickness upon me, aud have not brake bread with my kinsman In an exceeding long time, yet will I gird up my loins and go hence, that I may gather some of his great wealth unto my coffers." Now, when he was come Into the husbandinun's country and found Lhut ho liad lett all Ills richcs in the King's name, for the building of a place of learning, he was cxceedlug wroth, and said: "Wo, Is me! did not my kinsman know that my daughter was descended from the mighty Lord C ; and yet he left her not a shekel? I will hasten me unto the Court of Justice." And he went aud come unto the High Priest, and said: "The wealth that my kinsman left in the King's name, for the building of a place of learning Is not suflicient even for the providing of a yoke of fatted steers for the drawing of saw-logs to the mill for lumber wherewith to build; I pray you give It tiic, or my daughter, who Is near kin to the great Lord C , and the blessings of the people will lollow thee." And the High Priest listed unto Go-Lee-iah, and when he was done, spoke and sa!d: "Oh, fool! Know ye not that the wisdom of the greatest men will be centered on this great school, and that many wise men shall get their learning there? What are yours or your daughters claims in comparison to such an institution? Gohence! And Go-Lee-iah went his way sorrowfully and with much murmuring. Pixiletus Puir.oLious. Mt. Carmel, S. C.

A No ven-T? ear-Old Unfortantle who in Developing Wonderftil Intel HKencc. Boston, June 6.?Helen Keller is the name of the seven-year-old child who can neither see, hear nor speak, and who is in all respects om great a wonder as the world-famous Laura Bridgeman. The girl is now in this city, having come to attend the commencement exercises at the Perkins School for the Blind, which was founded by Dr. Samuel G. Howe, deceased husband of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe. Although deprived of all her most important senses, she has been brought by the agency ot the blind alphabet into a surprisingly keen appreciation r* of the things above her. She is the daughter of Arthur H? and Kate Keller, and was born June 27, 1880, in Tuscumbia, Ala. Her father was formely editor of the North American and he is now United Slates Marshal for the Northern District of Alabama. His mother was agreat-granddaught?r of Alex. Spotswood, first Colonial Governor of Virginia, and she was also second cousiu to General Robert E. Lee." ... When little Helen was nineteen months old an illness resulted in the total loss of sight and hearing. She had been au unusually bright and active child and was fast learning to talk when she was taken sick. She soon ceased to talk because she heard no sound, but as her physical strength returned she began to exhibit wonder* ful aptitude for learning everything about her household. She learned to distinguish the different members of the family through her sense of touch, and her parents decided to place her in charge of the Perkins Institution, tn city, in the hope that her terrible con ditioD might in some measure be ameliorated. Mis* Annie M. Sullivan, hepself a graduate of the school, was aenft to Tuscutnbia in March, 1887. She taugh Heleu the fipger alphabet of the b 1 i n dau d after days of patient work was rewarded by seeing her pupil exhibit unmistakable sign9 of intelligence. Her sense of touth being so acute, Helen was able after awhile to comprehend the purpose and shape of objects round about her. An object could be given to her and after examining it carefully with her fingers the name^ofthe ject would be communicated to her by * >7 the finger alphabet. / By the end of August, 1887, she knew 62G words and almost as many objects. After this she learned to read after the fashion of the blind by means of raised letters aud then to write. These processes were of course intensely laborious to pupil and teacher alike, and only the gentleness and perseverance of both could have won' success. Her knowledge of arithmetic ia anuollv romcrlrohla dnH aha fnlroa 10 vvjuwiij 1 vuiWAnuviv nuu ut?v extreme pleasure in feeding domestic animals and learning their habits and use. Her power of imitation isstrongly developed. Her memory is retentive and her curiosity is insatiable. The express and baggage car of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, 6t. Louis, and Chicago Railway was boarded by robbers on the night of June 8. They shot the baggage master, Ketcham, in four places; the express agent, Zimmerman, escaped hurt, though the robbers fired as many as fifteeu shots. The engineer and fireman probably killed one that climbed upon the tender. Four men who could not satisfactorily explain their actions have been arrested. Ketcham died June 9, at Cincinnati. : - ?

The National Democratic Convention, St. Louis, June 5?7, nominated Grover Cleveland as his own successor in the Presidency, Allen G. Thurman us Vice President. The platform of 1884 was re-affirmed, the President's TariiF message endorsed, and also the Mills Bill. A "Hood from the heavens" in reported from the Michigan Peninsula. The / Calumet and Hecla mines are nearly drowne J out, the whole country is covered with water, aud every railroad has suffered from washouts and lost bridges. I T. Harrison Garrett's yacht was run down on the Patapsco Iiiver on the night of June 7, by the steamer Joppa. The yacht was almost cut in two, but all on board were saved except the owner, Mr. Garrett, a wealthy Baltimore man. A railroad horror occurred in Mexico, near Tampico, June 4. Thirteen are known lo be killed, and twentyfour seriously injured, seventeen slightly so. The train was carrying wood and laborers, sixty in number. The engineer and conductor were both drunk.
