Mis* Genie? irchard, of this .Slate, but now
n resident of Atlanta, Is visiting relatives an?i
. friends in Ninety-Six mul Greenwood. Miss
Orchard is one of the South'* most gifted
daughters. Her writings appear in the popu
lar Journals of the day, and her style is original
and brilliant. Site is also an artist of rare
merit. The life size portrait of Gen. It. E. Lee
that adorns the armory of the Governor's
Guards in Columbia, was painted by our fair
young artist, and presented to that military
organization previous to her leaving the State
two yeats ago. It isa canvas of Immense size
and one would suppose that it was executed
by a bold masculine hand, but Miss Orchard
1.4 petite and fairy-like, with an artless grace
and bewitching beauty. The cntireState welcomes
her once again.

Yesterday a young man in the employ ol
Con tractor Gibbons, was entrusted with $xo,
with which to pay a bill in a dlstrantclty by
the purchase of a money order. The yonny

that he has committed a grievous error,
for which he is already very sorry. In sympathy
for him we withhold nls name, in hope

Richmond.May 29.?Never has higher homage
been paid to man, living or dead, than
was devoted to the memory of the peerless
I.ee to-day. On all sides there has been a
magnificent display of surpassing love and
devotion, and Richmond is again the Confederate
capital.
One of the most striking spectacles was the
display made by the South Carolina soldiers
and veterans. Governor Richardson and Major
J. C. Hemphill rode in a carriage near the
head of the column and were followed by
(ien. Htmliam mid the Governor's staff. Immediately
In their rear were the companies

What say our council ?
Greenwood has had an actual, living, working
League of Law and urder since last
January, yet its existence camo like a thunderbolt
from a clear sky when last week a notice
was served on our druggists, by the
League of Law and Order to surrender to
them their United States License, or be prose
cuted for selling whiskey illicitly. Without
any disparagement to the right of the League
of Law and Order, our drugglsls concluded
that their licenses were issued by the highest
authority of t e land, they refused to comply.
Consequently, proceedings were instl
tuted against three of theiu 011 Mouday by
the League of Law and Order, through Kev.
U. II. Carter, and many of our best citizens,
who had bought whiskey purely for medicinal
purposes, were unwitingly suminoiidcd as
witnesses. All of whom were mad. Some of
whom refused to testify. In short the outlook
was that Judge Blake's office would be a
tolerably warm place, with defendants and
witnesses all mad, aud a determined prosecution.
Fortunately, it turned out to be only a
?.irv blow." the whole matter beliis; settled by
the League of Law and Order, and the druggists,
resolving tliemselven into a committee
of the whole and ratifying (lie old law, rc
quiring druggists to sell whiskey only on
prescription. The opinion here is that the
only thing accomplished was that in fulure,
any parties wanting whisky for strictly medicinal
use will be forced to get a prescription.
As the character of the witnesses prove beyond
question that those who buy whisky to
drink are the safest customers. We voted
one prohibition ticket about ten years ago, li
was elected, and we expected to see the town
' dry" and so far us we are concerned endeavored
to make it so. It was a failure thou and
has been a failure ever since. We have had
the evil without the revenue, so as the lesser
of two evils we favor licensed oar-rooms, but
if the combined ettort of our churches, the
League of Law and Order or any other human
agency c.in suppress the wnlsky traflic
In Greenwood we will ever afterward be a
prohibitionist.
Mr. Joel 8. Bailey Is still Improving.
Mr. U. U. lientieiuan, of Spartanburg, has
opened a stock ol watches and jewelry in R
F. Dunbar & Go's store. He Is also prepared
to repair tine watches and Jewelry. He tells
the readers in another place what lie can do.
From responsible gentlemen we learn that he
not only u gentleman to the manor born, but
an expert workman, having been raised up
in the jewelry store of his father Mayor Henneinau,
of Spartanburg, and afterward spending
three years North. We therefore com
menu uim to our tuiicui.
We would like to see a better feeling exist
between North uml South, and sometimes are
led to hope that its era is beginning to dawn.
The rising generation of both sections seem
anxious to bury the injuries done both during
the war, and an occasional, intlammatory,
and to the South, insulting speech from such
men as Ingalls, Morse and Sheppnrd. We
can't believe, however, that they voice the
sentiment.of the North.
Au observant politician remarked to us today,
that if Tillman went into ttie convention
lacking two votes ot the nomination he
would be defeated, basing his supposition on
the result of former conventions more recent
than that of Alabama, In which Kolb, the
strongest candidate for several ballots was
defeated.

The Forum lor June.
In the Forum for June Is begun a series of
autobiographic articles by some of the foremost
men in England and America, pointing !
out the chief formative influences on their I
education and careers. The llrst of these is
by W. K. H. IjCClty, the author of "The Ills-!
tory of the Spirit of Rationalism in Europe." 11
It is one of the few contributions that this!
eminent historian has ever made to period I -1
cals. He reviews the development of thought
in England during the life of the generation
Just passing oil' tnc stage.
Col. Henry S. Sauford, the American mem <
ber of the International Commission which |
organized the Congo Free Stats, and himself,
an African explorer, explains the political
anil commercial Higiiiucance 01 uie worn uiai ;

Tliis Is tlie fullest account. Mini lias been any- i
where published of the commercial oppoitu- i
nltlcs of Africa and of the 'alior that has been '
Uone looking toward the building up of civili?ation
there.
There are two political articles In this number.
Henry Chiules Leu. of Philadelphia,
whose recent letter to the President provoked
much controversy, has an essay on ' Kelich- ,
ism in Politics," showing the chief causes of I,
bad municipal government. The Hon. Roger
Q. Mills, discussing "New England and the '
New Tariff Kill," advises the New England j
manufactures to favor the reduction of unties |
011 raw materials, polntingout that they de-!
pond chlelly on nianufactiires and that cheap j |
raw materials are necessary for continued (
prosperity. A third art icle, which lias a noli-1
tical bearing, is "Public Control of the Tele
gruph," by Mr. Bronson C. Keeler, who pre- j
sents the leading facts about the development ],
and the conduct of the telegraph In all conn-j
tries, to show that governmental control hits ,
been belter than private control. He has col-'
lected a great mass of statistics about tolls i,
and the use of the telegraph in dilliront conn- j j
tries.
Mr. Edmund Gosse, the English critic, lays
clown wnai ne conceives id ue me iiiiuim me

Other articles are "Culture atul Current Orthodoxy,"

which Is a liberal orthodox statement of the
changes of creed ; "Genius and Woman's Intuition,"
by I'rot Lester F. Ward; "Encroachments

The Abbeville Press and Banner is still talking
about the beneficial results to that paper
of the boycott which was put upon it. a few
months ago. Instead of the I'-rcxs uiiil Banner
beiug Injured by the action of the Alliance,
the paper is in a more flourishing condition
than ever. This will always be the outcome
of such intimidation?a paper that expresses
Its honest convictions, no matter how much
it may ollcud some of Its readers, will be upheld
in the end. The Alliance in this county
has not so far attempted any boycott?the
nearest approach was the condemnation the
other day of the I\'cws unit Courier and /{( porter
by some of the farmers of Alt. Crogran.
But this was not the action of the Vlliance we
are happy to say, not that 1L would injure the
xtt-porivr, uui uie finance wuuiu uu me Miiieicr.
When that.organization presumes to toll
newspapers nix! people who see lit lo dill'er
with them that they must think so ami so or
be boycotted, then the thinking men belonging
to the Alliance and those outside, will
join hands and give a heartier support than
ever to those papers or people. It is an instinct
or the better part of human nature lo
rebel against the persecution of a letlow being.

They want the anti-Tiliman support and they

Is the stronger. It is surprising how many
such men are to be found.

A Warning.
The following from the Chester
"Bulletin is published as a warning:
"Mr. W. N. Guy of Lowrysville had
his leg amputated on lust Teusday.
Last week he paired a "corn" between
his toes and on the next day took a
violent pain in his leg. On the following
morning his toe was black and
gangrene set in and rapidly spread unlil
it reached above his knee, where
the leg was amputated. The operation
was performed as a last resort by
Drs. Anderson, Brawley, Davega,
r ~ mu~
ijove iiJiu jLUcvyuiiucii. jl iic upcrnuuu
was successfully performed, the leg being
taken oft' above the knee. It is
said though that the main artery did
not bleed, indicating that the desease
had progressed above the place of amputation,
and there is little hope of
hi* recovery."
It is stated that forty-one per cent,
of the crimes in Germany last year
were committed by intoxicated persons.
A temperance editor of Lincoln,
Neb., recently fouud a coffin on his
doorstep, placed there by the liquor
men to indicate his fate if he continued
to "[>er8ecute" them, whereupon
the editor sold the coffin for seven dollars
and presented the money to the
W. C. T. U.
James Carlyle, the last surviving
brother of Thomas Carlyle, whom he
closely resembled in appearance, died
lately near Ecclefechan. Dumfriesshire,
where his famous brother was
born, and beside whose remains his
own have been laid.
Mr. Stanley is still receiving honors
at the hands of the English and repay
ing their attention with some rather
unpleasant truths. A recent English
paper says that at the city of London
banquet given him, "Mr. Stanley, in
returning thanks for himself and for
his companions, said that the Congo
might have belonged to England had
Englishmen listened to his lectures between
1878 and 1884. Belgium was
reaping 100 per cent. England might
have had East Africa. But her journalists
see everything through opera
glasses. Germany to-aay has the lion's
share, and can not fail to win in the
long run."
Home is the place where we may
talk of what we have done without bei;jg
charged with self-adulation.
There is the place where we^may express
gratification without being
thought silly. There is the place
where we may lounge without being
thought ungraceful. There is the
place where we may forget all our annoyances
and troubles. Home is a
ble.ssed harbor for storm-tossed mariners.
Get Ready fou Your Funeral.?
It id embarrassing for a preacher to
have to make out a case in a funeral
sermon. The case ought to be made
ready to hand. Made out by the integrity
and holiness of the conflined
life. Get your case ready for your funeral
service. Have the vouchers,
the witnesses, the pleadings all ready
to hand. K<> that the verdict may be
unanimous and instant : a good mull
gone to heaven.

Cost of the Late War?In Part.
Messenger oj Peace.
The country lost six hundred and
flfty-six thousand men, or about onesixth
as many as there were slaves,
and three billions and seven hundred
millions of dollars, not including the ?
loss of the labor and industry of the
vast armies, North and South, during ,
the four years of war.
"The valuation set on the slaves, at . v4$|
the request of Abraham Lincoln in
1862, by members of Congress from the
Border States, was three hnndred dollars
each, and assuming their number
at four millions, which is an over-estimate,
the value of all the slaves in the
United States was one billion and two
hundred millions of dollars, or less
than one-third of the money cost of
the war.
"But it is questionable whether Iom
of the men and money was the epeat
est detriment, The subtle moats evil
which pervades society and invades
every household, and is clearly traceable
to tliis source; the record of increasing
crime which blackens the
journals of the land, and takes its date ' ?
and beginning from 1862; the feverish
war spirit which survives in military
organizations and the minds of men,
producing an imminent tendency to
war, which did not previously exist;
the sectional feeling between the North
and South, outlasting generations; tbe
contention and bitterness of confl.cts
between races and between castes,
make an accumulation, a sum total of
evil, beyond calculation.

"Abraham Lincoln, wise and far-see- 5
ing, blessed with special opportunities
for clear and distinct views of tbe issue,
and a true understanding of affairs,
gave the weight of his great ^
name and juudment to compensated
emancipation in 1862. He was overborne
by the passions of men and the
din of war. But subsequent events
Iidvp vindicated hiu wisdom Tho riat
was great: the North approached
much uearer to finaucial exhaustion
than was then publicly known."

The object of Industrial education, ^

Some years ago a Catholic priest in
Canada named Martin turned Protea- "
tant, entered the Methodist ministry?
if we are not mistaken?and married.
Recently he resolved to return to the
Catholic church, and with a view to
liiis lie emereu into currespuuueuue
with the archbishop in those regions,
who gave him the receipt by which he
should save his soul. J us t now many
or what penitential pills he should
swallow we do not know ; but the first
was to be to desert liis family. His
wife knew nothing of the matter.
The husband disappeared, but she expected
his return till some nuns called
on her to inform her that her husband
was to see her no more; but that she
and her children could rely on them
for care and protection in the convent.
Of course she thought she had had
enough of Catholic protection, and so
declined. There is something a little
remarkable in this affair, it is not
strange that as mau should take it into
his head to desert his family, for it is
not sufficiently unusual to be strange,
but is a little strange that a bishop
could be found that would lay down
such a rule of repentance and reformation.
Of course tbe bishop claimed
that the man was not married, not

therefore he had demanded that the
rite of matrimony between this man ,
and his wife should be solemnized
again, and this time by a Catholic
priest, we would only pronounce it a
piece of impudence ; but to command
the profligate to leave his family, and
to command him to commit this crime
in the name of religion, is blasphemy,
and an insult to civilization as well.?

An English paper mentions that
Rev. Baptist Noel, at a late meeting
of the Baptist Union, staled that the
other day he was staying in Cornwall
with a. gentleman who meutioned
that there was au item in the parish
book to this effect: "Paid to Mr. Soand-So,
seven shillings and six peuce,
for driving away Methodists." Now,
Ill mat parisn mere were juuriccu
Wesleyan chapels, and they were all
filled. The population of the place
was 10,000, and the whole of them,
with the exception of five families,
were Methodists. This result was attributable
to the earnest determination
of the first Methodists to preach
the Gospel to every creature. They
did so, and the Lord went with them.
The Government of Manitoba has
withdrawn all help from denominational
schools, and the Catholics are in
a rage. This is a wise move,
It is an outrage that money raised
by taxes should be used to maintain
denominational schools.
There is certainly some consideration
due compositors. They are not
overpaid, and every piece of poor
manuscript makes a difference. An
article written so villainously as to
take twice as long to set it up as it
oiiirhf. to hike inst doubles the work or
divides the earnings. If this is not
stark robbery, it is a form of imposition
which touches it very closely.

A young lady, visiting for the first
time in the country, was alarmed at
the approach of a cow. She was too
frightened to run, and shaking her
parasol at the animal, she said, in a
very stern tone: f'Lie down, sir! lie
down!"
