ERSKINE COLLEGE.

Oivii Jlistiilics?
Many years ago, when the friemis of the
institution determined upon the effort tne?talilKh
Krsklne College, the Associate <lelormed
Presbyterians disclaimed any idea
that it was exclusively a denominational college,
but announced that u was a literary college
under the care of the church, which college
was intended to be a blessing alike to all
the citizens of the State.
Uood men of whatever religious faith were
Invited to co operate with the Associate Keiormed
Presbyterians in otablishing a college
with such noble aims and high purposes, ami
Ilioy gluuiy accepiou me mviuuiiin.
They contributed liberally or their money,
and hi many instances sen I their sons to the
college.
On the part of the church, others thnn Associate
Reformed Presbyterians were elected t<prolessorships,
and others than Associate Reformed
Presbyterians were elected member*
of the Hoard of Trustees.
The college grew and prospered, the people
loved the institution, and hundreds enjoyed
si personal pride in the lad that they had contributed
something for the establishment of a
coIUgo of which Abbeville county and the
State of South Carolina will ever be proud.
Finally, as the college grew stronger, and a*
its endowment fund increased, the lines were
wore more closely drawn between ttie Associate
Reformed Presbyterian church and those
gentlemen who were merely friends and contributors
to its growth and prosperity, and it
may be said that- the breach of more or less
importance between those "within the vail,"
and those who are not admitted withiu. the
purple walls has begun to widen, and If It is
not closed up, alieuatlou and something of
estrangement may follow.
The first conspicuous step toward withdrawing
from the great mass of the friends oi
education was In the exclusion ol all noncommunicants
of that church from the Faculty.
Then came the election of almost the entire
faculty l'rom among the kindred of one or
two families.
Then came the dropping from the Hoard ol
Trustees, quite a numoerol life long friends
and supporters of the college, and this for no
other pretext or excuse, so far as ttie public
are able to see, than to yield to the deep laid
plan of removing the college building itsell
from its very foundations.
The Hoard of Trustees having been reduced
to fifteen, and ttie members front this section
having neeu enosen almost. exclusively Mom
one family connection, It would seem that the
college is being reduced :
1st. From a college In which all the people
niuy be interested.
Ud. To a college exclusively for the As.-oeiate
Reformed Presbyterians.
:id. To a college which is nominally in the
hands of the Associate Reformed church, but
which In fact, is controlled by a single family
connection In the communion of that church.
Let it be understood, speaking for the great
number who are outside," that we do not
pretend to say or to Intimate, nor do we believe
that the standard of education, or the
ability to be useful to tin-public is impaired
by the policy of com ruction by which the college
Is placed Into the hands of the few :<nu
by which the great public are excluded from
tiny Interest or participation in theuilairso!
the college.
But if the public have no other Interest in
the college than to contribute money to It,
and if the college denies to the public any
representation on the Hoard of Trustees, and
if the Trustees and the Faculty are to be
chosen Irom one or two family connections,
then we submit that the usefulness of tne college
will be circumscribed, and that Its present
number of 'outside" friends will be greatly
reduced.
While the college may care nothing at all
for the friendship or lukewarmness of any individual,
yet we submit that a more liberal
policy toward those who might be friends
would be more satisfactory in more ways
than one.
The college has had n thousand evidences of
the valuable ft ietidship of "outside" citizens.
This, We presume, will uot be denied.
The colletre at best lias Door ooijortunities
of showing its friendship, I he chief of which
is perhaps to coaler the title of 1>. D. on some
preacher who has liberally supported the college
with his prayers and benedictions, while
the inan who gave of the sweat, of his brow,
or who may have denied his fatuily something
of the luxuries and necessaries of life,
at who may have given of his abundance,
will get no recognition. The college has
many friends upon whom neither I). I), nor
any of the literary degrees would sit well, but
whose pationage or practical experience, or
liberal gifts in money, would make them useful
members of the Board of Trustees and valuable
friends of the college. Hut under the
"exclusion act" and "the contraction policy"
all such Iriends are denied recognition.
Let it be understood, that the "outsiders"
ore not yearning and thirsting for tbe honors
of the college,
What we are talking about is the illiberal
policy of the church towards the friends of
theirchie! institution.
if the church persists in its narrowness and
lis exclnsiveness, then the public ought to
? know it,aud 'hen tne public may cease to
take more luterest in Mrskine College ihan
they take in other col ley es.
The forefathers of the church, in their day,
were wise. Will their descendenla,alter reaping
the reward ol 'outside'' liberality, be ungrateful
?
It may be that the college now has all the
money it needs, ami Synod may snap its tin
^ers in me laces or n* menus. out we hardly
believe they will continue to do itv
Jf they would r<store tin-college to its former
place in the hearts of the people. then let
it restore the people to the couiidence of Ur
church.

THE PRESENTMENT.
-?.
S'iiite NoIcm of ilie Work of tlie tSrant
Jury at Ihe June Term.
We published the presentment of the a ram
jury last week, and we presume our sub
Vurlbers have read it. 11 is an unusually In
te resting document,and touches the people a
many places.
The report of the county otlices must b
gratifying to every citizen, and especially s
to the Incumbents.
The recommendation lo Sax dogs SI seem
to be a good one, and would prove a source c
great revenue to the county.
The recommendation that proper mcdieu
attention be secured lor the Inmates oi th
poor house Is a humane proposition, whic
will no doubt receive the prompt attention <:
the County Commissioners.
The statement in retercnce to the lack of r<
i tprviccK in t lie tioor house cliimel is
starting one. Right here in Abbeville coin
1y where we are raisins a great hullabaiio
about. Christianizing China and wasting an
noally thousands of dollars in a futile ai
tempi to couvert people wtio consistently au
jiorsistfiitly reject our religion, we are net
jeeting onr own men and brethren, while a
lowing the poor, it may be, to retrograde i
I heir religious zeal and moral principles.
Asa matter of law we believe the Count
Commissioners have about as much leg!
right to appropriate money to secure the se
vicesof a chaplain for the poor house, as the
have to make an appropriation for the ben
Jit of the Chinese,
The recommendation that the liquor licem
fee* lie paid into the treasury of the count;
instead ot into the town treasury,is based u
on reason and common sense, and any nun
t?er of fcicis could be produced to show the ii
iqulty and injustice ot the present plan. W
hope, therefore, that our voters will have a
eye to the remedy of tills evil when they elei
Legislators. If we can't have prohibition \*
ougnt to be required to put the responsibilii
;i? well as the profit of the business on tl
tdwmlders of the people.
The information'in regard to the I?el
Howe school is interesting, and the facts as
jts condition show that the estate is caretul!
managed. The expression of the treasurer i
to toe advisability of selling part of the lam
and the recommendation of the jury e
dorsing the proposed sale is merely a matt
of opinion, about which there might be a d
versity ot opinion. For Instance, this new
paper thinks such sale would be lll-advl.se
While the "securities" or money in hand had
at one lime cone down very low, yet the area
ot the tract remained the same before, during
and after the war. Let the tract remain in
tile hands of the trustees. Don't cut off any
of it. l!ut rent It out, or clear any part, us
may be lawful or expedient.
As a whole the presentment is a valuable
document.

71io Acl Cannot be ConMrncU Oilierwine
than hs au lusult to the Jury.
in this country, ttic juries owe it to themselves
to protect witnesses who have cumin
i tied no greater oll'euse than that of testifying
to lads which do not advance the cause oi
the lawyer who chooses to lake the aUvantageof
his position 10 bring unproven charges
aud tomaue unfounded insinuations against,
those w hose character may oe just as good
and whose life may have been just as honorable
as lias b< en the life and character of him
who assails.
When we say that the Juries should "protect"
the witnesses, we mean to say that they
should be slow togiveany verdict in support
of such a system of defnmation.
We belii-ve it has become common for some
lawyers tosay."i? you have a bad case, abuse
the witnes-es on the other side."
Abuse of wlti*:.?ses then is, to our mind,
the lirst and best evidence of tiie lawyer's
consciousness of the weakness of his cause.
If jurors would remember tins, and render
their verdicts agaiusl those who resort tosucb
methods. It would be well.
If Jurors, in a criminal case, acquit the accused,
they take the responsibility of so doing.
If, however, they rind their verdict
auainst the accused they simply shift the responsibility
to the Circuit Court and to the
Supreme Court. >'o jury need fear error in
conviction. There are two Courts above them
whose business it is to correct the errors of
Juries. In ail cases, therefore, where there Is
no clear line of duty lor the Jury, they slioulu
ironvicl, and leave the Courts above them to
look, more carefully into the intricacies oi
the Saw, and It error iias been made, tlie
Courts have all tlie power to set aside an erroneous
verdict or to order a new tris-1.
Jurors too often imiglne that their verdicts
against the prisoner are conclusive, but such
Idea is erroneous.
1st. The Circuit Judge may set aside tiieir
verdict.
'2nd. The Supreme Court mny order a new
trial, if error lias been committed.
3d. The Governor may pardon or commute.
But II the Jurors assume the responsibility
of turning a criminal loose, there is no appeal.
The jury have stiut oil' the criminal
from any possibility of punishment.
For this reason, it is well?if the line of
right is not clear?for the jury to convict and
thus trausfer the responsibility to the higher
Court.
If tiie circuit Judge will not protect witnesses
from unjust abuse, then witnesses
should not be deprived of the right to defend
themselves In open Court.
As no lawyer has the right to make assertions
against any witness which are not matters
of proof or of law, the Jurors should refuse
a verdict to such lawyers as resort to
abuse instead of argumeut. To abuse the unotfrnding
witness on the s:and is to otter a
direct and positive insult to the Intelligence
of ihejury. It is to presume that they have
not sense enough to distinguish between the
tacts which have been sworn to, and the
abuse of the lawyer for which there may be
no proof to warrant the assault.
As neither jurors nor witnesses come Into
Court on their own motion the Juror should
protect his neighbor at least to any extent
which may be warranted by the testimony.
Iu our own opinion the Judge wiio sits by
and allows the witness to be abused in an unwarrantable
manner, or permits the lawyer
to make assertions or insinuations airninst
the witness is a proper subject lo be removed
from the Kcneh at llie next election. No selfrespecting
Judge should permit his Court lo
lie degraded to the level of a bear pit.
For the time being the Juries are clothed
with all the dignity and powers of a Judge,
mi/I ftiov clinnlri ho rp?npcfpil liMflrillntflV. It
Is only a question of time when the witness
and the juror will exchange places, and upon
the principle of doing unto others as we
would have them do unto us, the jurors
should not give verdict for the lawyer who
adm Its the weakness of his course by entering
a plea of villiflcation of the witnesses on
the other side.

"(,'orXMJUA. S. 0., June 23,18! G.
"Fellow democrats of Sout h Carolina:
The wires have Just announced the nomination
of Grover Cleveland tor the presidency
of the United Slates by the national
democratic convention at Chicago. The conservative
democracy of the state accepts this
announcement with joy and will work for the
success of the t icket against secret. f->es with
II) Hie party as wen hs miii>|h>iu'u
We felt that the democracy of South Carolina,
the rank and lilt- of the parly, had been
placed In a false position by the recent convention
in Columbia, dominated by Benjamin
II. Tillman and Iiis sntllltes, when it denounced
Grover Cleveland as unworthy of
democratic conlid?nc*, but the grand council
of tiie democracy of the Union has given back
the answer to the slanderous charge l>y endorsing
Grover Cleveland for the highest
oilice in the gift of his countrymen. Let us
then Inscribe upon our banners 'Cleveland
and Stevenson ; Kheppard aud Orr ; democracy
and victory.'
The campaign has opened for Slate oflicers.
The State democratic committehasappointed
the county meetings at which candidates for
State offices and none others, are allowed to
speak. In August next, at a primary election,
you will vote for delegates in your respective
counties who will attend a State
nominating convention in September and
the September con volition will nominate the
democratic candidates for governor and lieutenant
governor, and the rest ol tlie State
ticket. You are to support with your united
votes the candidates nominated by the September
convention agaiust such candidates
as may be nominated by your old antagonist,
the republican partr, or by the third party,
commonly called the'peoples' party,' or by
both.
' since the redemption of South Carolina in
1S7G, under the glorious leadership of Wade
Hampton, who bore the banner of thedemoc
ra.*y to victory over the vile crew of radical
spoilsmen who had disgraced ami'well nigh
ruined our beloved State, our elections have
been decided by the action of tiie democratic
party in Its nominating conventions, because
the white people of South Carolina, remembering
the period of republican misrul'- determined
that there should be no repetition
of its disgraceful history and without distinction
of class or occupation supported at
the polls true and tried democrats to be their
pnblicservants In the various ofllses of the
State government, and although most of the
time the republican party had the presidency
of the Federal union and attempted to re-establish
its foothold in our Stale and throughout
the South by trying to pass odious election
laws and, force bills, these attempts of
our enemies huve been prevented by thedetnocratsof
congress, who have always rullied to
our assistance In every emergency and have
defeated these vile designs upon our prosperity
and peace. During four years ol the
period alluded to, Grover Cleveland, the must
illustrious democrat In our parly, was president
and under his patriotic administration
01 the Federal government the sectional issue
was laid aside, for he knew no North, no
South, no Fast, no West, but only u united
country. latrine his term of otllce the radical
leaders no longer held Federal Hires in
South Carolina anu the democracy of the
State became further cemented and strengthened.
"In this condition we were Invincible
against attacks from without and could only
become liable to the misfortune of radical
ascendency if we divided among ourselves.
The movement in which we ask you to Join
with us is inspired solely by a desire to prevent
such a division of the democracy which
by a chain of events has become tbe danger
of the hour. Pour years ago there appeared
in the political arena In South Carolina an
agitator. HenJ. It. Tillman, who started to
advance tils own personal ambition by sowing
dlssention and discord among those who
were brethren, adopting as the pretence for
farmers additional advantages for higher education
in agriculture. He advanced selfish
ambition by organizing a political faction
whose stock in trade was ubuse of those
whom the people of the democratic party in
the State by the voices of the party hail
placed in positions of responsibility and
trust. This was followed up in 1M?0 by the
most disgraceful campaign in the hislory of
our State.
' By Ills abuse of those chosen by you to administer
our Slate affairs and by his skillful
combination with green backers and malcontent
in our party and by divided councils in
our ranks, two years ago the Stale administration
passed into ills hands. Upon becoming
governor of the State it might have
been expected by some that Mr. Tillman
would have exercised his high otlice in the
Interest of the whole people and for the good
of the State. But unfortunately this man
who started with the assertion that lie desired
110 office, except to be a trustee of Clemson
college, now sets his aim for another position
for which his patronage and the power
of the governor's oiliee gives him advantages
in the race. The agricultural college issue

unbuilt. Now there must be another issue
raised?that of an attack upon the enterprises
which have been organized within our borders
by capital at home and from abroad.
"Ills Injudicious treatment of our limine
has reduced our resources, injured our credit
it at home and abroad and decreased the
value of our bonds. He must raise funds to
carry ou the State government by bleeding
the corporations to make up deficiencies In
our Income caused by ills mlsmangement.
Tne result Is that capital from abroad ceases
in a. t;reut rueuKure t?? seelc our borders as it
does other States in the Sou li and t he scarcity
of money occasioned by our poverty and
the low price of cotton is therefore without
relief from abroad. Such Is the situation in
South Carolina to-day. It can not last, however,
for the Innate good sense and patriotism
of the masses of our people can be depended
upon to relieve us of the Incubus of
an unsatisfactory management of our State
ail'airs and to restore South Carolina to the
position she has heretofore occupied since the
restoration of democratic rule as a prosperous
and progressive State emerging from the disasters
of war and misrule, determined to retrieve
the fortunes of all ciassess to her people.
"Politically the emergency Is a grave one.
The people, loyal in their hearts to the democratic
party, have been treated with perlodicalJdoseBOl
third partylsm. and the cxccutix e
himself In more than one public utterance
has taken occasion to abuse the democratic
party, if his interviews in tlie pross have

their demands art; not acceded to. We understand
it is part of the program of this eiunpalgthat
pronounced third party men are to
be permitted to vole at democratic primaries
to decide who shall be the democratic
standard bearers in the coming election.

by the democratic colors and give our united
support to the ticket which represents a solid

Opinion.
Mass meeting of the citizens of Abbeville
[ for the purpose of endorsing and ratifying the
nomination of (irover Cleveland for I'resident
and A. 1'. Stevenson lor Vice President,
hv t.he National Democratic Convention.
The meeting was organized by selecting Capt.
L. W. Wliite as chairman.
Fellow citizens anil lellow democrats of Abbeville
:
I thank you for the honor you hnve conferred
upon me in selecting me to be chairman
of Ibis meeting. 1 have been taken unawares
and therefore have nospeech to make.
You all doubtless are aware of the object ol
this meeting.
We have come together, as citizens of the
United Stales and of South Carolina as well,
for the purpose of approving, endorsing and
ratifying what the representatives of true
Democracy have so recently done ill Convention
at Chicago.
They have given us a s'andard-bearer of
whom we ure all proud and for whose election
we are all willing to work. Urover
Cleveland stands head and shoulders above
every other man in this broad land.
There is no man North or South, East-or
West that can begin to compare with him in
statesmanship and in the lnllucncc be exerts.
There is magic In his name wherever Democracy
has any foot-hold. He Is no new man.
Greater honor has been conferred upon him
than has been given to any other citizen since
the foundation of our government. Three
times lie has been nominated for the Presidency
of the United States. In 1J>84 he was
successful, and there is no cleaner page in
Iho history of our government from Washington's
day to the present time than that
which records Cleveland's administration.
He ought. t? have been elected too in 188S, and
doubtless would have been, but for his own
manly, unselfih, conscientious and honest utterances
with regard to tariff reform. It can
truly be said he owed his defeat in I8.H3 to
himself, for we all remember before tariff reform
was announced as au issue in that campaign,
it was conceded alike by Republicans
and Democrats that he would easily be his
own successor.
We are Just In receipt of the intelligence
that Mr. Stevenson of Illinois ha* been chosen
for the second place on the ticket, a most
admirable selection, and In my humble ju g
meni a inucii ?irmi|;er uiiiuiuiiit- i.inm .>n.
Gray ?>f Indiana wonld have proven. Mr.
Harrison, the Republican nominee for President,
has been working so long and so effectively
In Indiana, that it is hardly probable
any man could wrest his own State out of
his hands. I'ut why may not the Democrais
win in Illinois? out of twenty representatives
now in Congress fourteen are Democrats.
If Mr. Stevenson is a popular and influential
man, as I doubt not he Is, I see no
reason why the great State of Illinois should
not be placed In the Democratic column at
the next election.
Our liuc of duty Is clearly defined. The
nominations have been made. It behooves
us to remain steadfast to Democratic prlnclc
I pies, to maintain a united and unbroken
front and then there Is every reason to hope
victory will perch on our standard next Move
mber.
Then at least we will see what we will see;
and now we can only give It as our opinion
that if Grover Cleveland cannot be elected
President of the United States no Democrat
on t his continent could be.
Mr. \V. l'. McGowau said :
Mr. Chairman?I.ike yourself I have no set
speech to make. Wo are here, fellow democrats.
for a purpose both right and proper.
Grover Cleveland has this day been nominated
as the Demociallc siaudard-bearer in tliei
coming presidential election, and as thousands
of loyal democrats In South Carolina
havr been misrepresented at Chicago, Ills
but justice to ourselves and the nominee that
In meetings like this we today endorse the
inan and ratify his nomination.
Grover Cleveland needs no etiology at any
man's hands. He is no experiment.. He has
many times been weighed inolHcial balances
and never yet been found wanting. Three
times he lias successively been the nominee
of our great party. First elected; then nominated
by acclamation without a dissenting
voice; and now?despite the united and determined
effort of all the ambitious politicians
and dissatisfied malcontents in the country?lie
has beeu triumphant ly re-nominated
on the first, ballot. It is very refreshing to
sec such an honest politician, and highly
gratifying to see his worth so appreciated.
You nil know Cleveland's reeortt; ins piisi
has been so clean ; Ills eharncter Ik so hl(jh;
mid his politics so pure, thai he challenges
the respect aud ad in I rat ion of every honest
man. .So lar as I nm concerned, It is with
pride as well as pleasure that I vote to ratify
the nomination of the greatest Democrat in
America.
I odor the following resolutions:
Whereas, in the Democratic Convention
now in session at Chicago, Illinois, Grover
Cleveland has this day been nominated as
the Democratic nominee for the presidency of
the United States;
And whereas, certain recent utterances?
in speech and print?have been promulgated
in South Carolina to the eireet, that the nomination
of Cleveland would result In the formation
of a third party In the State within
twenty-four hours. Now know all men that
we, democrats ol Ah'ieville, South Carolina,
in meeting assembled
Resolve l*t. That we cnrnestly, heartily
and fully endorse the nomination of Grover
Cleveland ami hereby ratify the same.
That We have the fullest confidence In,
<1 rover Cleveland as an independent, courageous
and honest man : that we endorse his I
policy and admire the man and truly pledge !
him our earnest adherence and hearty sup-1
port.
Kesolve 2nd. That we condemn all utterances
and efforts looking to the formation of
a third party In this State, and call upon ail
Democrats to be true to their party and political
principles, and witli united determination
work lor victory in November next.
Kesolve 3rd. Having just heard of the i
nomination of A. K. Stevenson as Democrat- j
its nominee for Vice President of the United!
states, we hereby endorse and ratify the1
same.
.Mr. Win. 1*. Calhoun said :
Mr. Chairman?It affords dip much pleasure,
to second the resolutions Just introduceil!
to ratify the the nomination of (.{rover Cleveland.
Especially docs it all'ord me plca-nre
to do so. since the attitude of 8unt.li Carolina i
toward Cleveland h:is been so much inisrepresented
by certain men. Cleveland is the
choice of the Iiciuoeracy ??t the peopls of tliej
State, and the world should ho told tills ; ami!
tiiere is no hetter way to Id. the worid know I
thatSouth Carolina is for (Cleveland than hy
holding midi meetings as ibis. It is to he
hoped th it every town In tlie state will, today,
hold meetings to ratify the nomination
of Cleveland t he undoubted choice of the I
Democrats of the whole country There is no
necessity lor long speeches. Every person
knows the man and his record. We c-.in add
nothing to that record. We inne* here this
evening, not so much to endorse I lie man. as
to let the world know that South Carolina
lias been misrepresented by those now holding
hisjli positions in the S'ntc, when they
said that lie was not the choice of our people,
and that il lie was nominated that lie would
not receive the electoral vote of t he Slate.
This meeting puts Abbevll'e belore the world
In her proper light, and it condemns the
misrepresentations that have been spread
abroad.
The resolutions were then passed unanimously
and with ureal enthusiasm.

PROHIBITION MOVEMENT.
. Heetinjrs to be Meld In the Various
Con lilies to Ventilate the Idea.
The movement l.o secure at the bands of the
next Legislature State prohibition of the liquor
trainc, which was Inaugurated by the
convention which met ic Columbia on the
2fith of Mav, has assumed definite shape and
such proportions as promises to make It an
interesting factor in the Democratic primary
In August.
It will he remembered that the convention
emphatically declined to nominate a state
ticket or to make any issue which might place
the adherent# of the movements in an attitude
antagonistic to the Democratic party In
the State.
It adopted an address and platform which
declared their purpose as Democrats to seek
the solution of the question of prohibition
within the party, if permitted to do so. The
purpose is expressed in simple and direct
terms in the following passage from the address
:
"We call upon all lovers of righteous government
In the state to use every ellbrt for
the prohibition of this trailic In this Stale.
ive recorameua mat me puouc iieiuuuu
that nil candidates for the House unci Senateplace
themselves on record on this question
to the end that the prohibition votes of the
country may be lntelligenlly cast."
And also to the same effect In the platform .
as follows:
"We therefore earnestly favor and will work
for the enactment of such laws as will prohibit
the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors
for use as a beverage Iri our State.
"We cordially Invite the co-operation of all
DemocraLs in this laudable effort for State prohibition,
irrespective of the opinion on other
issues as already made up in the State."
The convention appointed members of the
State Executive Committee; who would also
lie chairmen of the respective county commit- ,
tees, from counties represented in the convention,
with authority to select members in
such counties as were not represented. The
committee elected Hon. L. D. Chllds of Rich
land chairman. The executive committees
have now been organized in n arly all the
counties of the Stale, and the few remaining
counties will bo completed within a few days.
In several countiesiictive work followed immediately
upon the organization of the coinmittees.and
in the counties of Karn well, Florence,
Newberry, Sumter and York conventions
have been called to meet during the ensuing
month, with indications that they will
be well attended.
In a number of the counties public meetings
will soon be held for the purpose ol
reaching the people and impressing the prohibition
Idea upon them.
Manv of the countv tinners have freelv ac
corded the use of their columns to the prohibitionists,
and arrangements are being ellected
in each county to keep the papers supplied
with items pertinent to the movement.
Chairman L. 1J Chllds lias addressed a circular
letter to each of the County Chairmen,
embodying the general purpose contemplated
by the convention, witli suggestions as lo-tbc
several methods by which this purpose is to
effected.
The circular In the main is as follows:
The short time intervening before the occurrence
of tlie first Democratic primary election,
August 3'lth, which will determine tinresult
of the movement, for prohibition set on
foot hy the recent convention, imposes upou
the friends of tho movement an urgent demand
for immediate, persistent and energetic
work, it our hopes for Stale prohibit ion are to
be realized. Upon the State and County Executive
Committees, organized under authority
of the convention, rests the responsibility
for the direction of the movement In the several
counties, by which the plan of the convention,
us outlined In its address and platform,
is to be carried into effect. In my judgment
it will not be wise or prudent for the
Stale Kxecntlvc Committee to attempt to formulate
'i plan to be carried out in detail in
each of the counties Willi any fair promise o'
success. The conditions in each county are
varying, and the methods adopted should he
flexible, readily adapted to meet these conditions
as they may exist or arise during the
progress of the campaign. It is evident that
the "county committees, carefully selected as
they have been, and composed of men familiar
with all the peculiarities of circumstances
existing In their couutles, are better prepared
to avail themselves of favorable opportunities
to give effect to the movement in their respec
live counties intiu tnc suae uoramittee couiu
be.
In view of this state of facts, therefore, I
have thought it best, at this stage of our
movement, to present to your committee a
few general suggestions, the observance of
which will tend to preserve the unity of the
movement throughout the State, and prevent
any jarring or misconception among ourselves,
or misunderstanding or conflict with
the Democratic party, within whose ranks we
propose to move loyally, recognized as Democrats,
working as Democrats, and as true
Democrats abiding by the is-sue upon the
question of prohibition which we have invoked,
so far as it shall be determined by the
vote of Democrats at the approaching election.
The aim of each county committee
should be primarily to rciulorce tlie existing
public sentiment of the county in favor of
Slate prohibition by every Justifiable method.
Among these you will avail yourselves of the
county press to appeal to the people, address
them at public meetings, c.inventions, etc.,
especially securing when possible a hearing at
tlie Democratic campaign meetings and other
gatherings throughout the county. Sermons
by the clergy ot the different denominations,
enforcing tlie duty of Christians to aid in every
effort to suppress the liquor traflic, are potent
agencies by which to increase the prohibition
vote.
Work assiduously to bring out the prohibition
vote in its full strength at the first pri
tnary < lection in August, and see that it is deposited
in the box which the Democratic Executive
Committee will provide to receive ii
at each precinct, and also see that it is proper
by the managers. Note here the important
fact that this provision lor taking the prohibition
vote Hi I tie Democratic party, made by
the State Executive Committee at the request
of the prohibition convention, is a full recognition
of the position that our movement Is
one legitimately to be made within the Democratic
party, and of the right of every Democrat
to give expression to his views In this
form without let or hindrance.
Appoint one of your own number, or some
other competent man, to keep the space accorded
to you In your county papers well supplied
every week with items, communications,
reports of meetings and other mailer
calculated to educate and strengthen the public
venliment on this movement, and to correct
errors and misrepresentations which may
be put forward by the opposition. Your committee
will have to exercise a very cautious
supervision over tills department, lest by
sniiie injudicious publication our movement
should be committed to a false or untenable
po-ilion before the public, and thereby much
harm result.
Tiie objective point In all our work Is to secure
an undoubted majority in each branch ol
tlie next General Assembly pledged to vole
lor some proper measure for Stale prohibiI
lion, in pursuance of this object, let It be
your first duty to ascertain, as soon as a candidate
is announced, whether or not he is in
, lavorof our movement, and secure from him
this assurance in writing if possible, <>r by
some unequivocal public utterance. If he de
I cllnes, or mils to iukc this position, let mm
understand that we (ire seeking to enlist (lie
i co-operation of wood Democrats in this tight.
| and that to he outspoken and pronounced on
this subject, irrespective of their views on other
questions which may bo raised within the
party, will secure the support of prohibitionists.
Seek lo induce some good prohibition
Democrat, the best y u can tind, to run for
the House or Senate, if none of those already
announced are with us in the flsht lor prohibition.
Each county has been requested by the executive
committee to raise at least. SKI to meet
the necessary expenses of conducting the
work in the State, and each county committee
will endeavor to inist; such suin at the earliest
possible moment, forwarding the
amounts raised toS. A. Nettles, secretary and
treasure. Manning, s. C.

EESPONSIBILITY OF JtJKOR.
Ills Duty to Ills Country iM as Sue red
us IIIn Obligation to the Prisoner.
Anderson Intelligencer.
The cit izens of a Stale are often called upon
and required to perform unpleasant and responsible
duties ibr the welfare of their commonwealth.
There Is perhaps no duty required
of a citizen that is more repusnant to
his nature and at the same time more solemn
iu Its responsibility than that enforcing him
to become a judge of the guilt of an accused
party where death is the punishment following
conviction. The duties of the juryman
are both delicate and responsible. He Is required
to give the accused the benefit of every
reasonable doubt, yet ho must not forget
that his duty to his country is just as binding
and sacred as It is to the prisoner In the
dock. Justice and the preservation of society
require that the Juryman should beasprompt'
to condemn where guilt Is established as to
acquit where Innocence is apparent.
The Jury that Is required to sit in judgment
on the cases of the defend mts In next week's
Court will probably have to try five cases,
perhaps six, In which the life or the death of
I lie Huaw,,cl will ill IIICII iVCCpniR* XIICJ
will bo solemnly sworn to "well and truly try
und a true verdict give according to evidence."
We would not willingly pay aught to prejudice
any man's case, but we desire to call
sitteutlon to a lew tacts that are of importance
to the public at present:
1. Within our County some heinous
crimes f:ave been committed in the last lew
months. In at least one case the terrible
vengeance of a righteously indignant people
was averted only be the bopo held out
that Justice would be done at the time of
trial.
2. When the guilty escape punishment
because of faithlessness on the part of the
jury '-the jury" is responsible for the miscarriage
ot Justice and not "the Courts," as is
usually charg'-d.
:|. Lynch law is.too often resorted to in our
State. Mob law can be suppressed only when
the people are brought to believe that Juries
will not flinch one lota in the discharge of
their duties.
4. The laws of the Creator of man justify
the shedding of blood when blood has been
shed. No juror, then, should scruple to find
a verdict that would condemn a man guilty
of a capital crime to the heaviest punishment
that can be inflicted upon him because or a
weak and unreasonable settlement that by
so doing the guilt of the death of the condemned
would be laid at his door, and for
which he would be morally responsible,
[lather,should he fall to condemn where he
finds guilt, he becomes an alder and abettor
of the criminal.
5. When a Jury finds a verdict approved
by their consciences the result will almost
surely meet the approval of mankind. When
they stifle conscience and the guilty escape
the verdict will Just as surely cause dissatisfaction
and mnnnurings, and aggrieved feelings
will look to lynch law for vengeance.

How tlie Sweet Girl and the Embryo
NtateMninn Graduate.
The season approaches when the sweet girl
graduate and the sweet boy graduate?for sex
does not figure In educational affairs nowadays?will
mount the commencement platform
and settle all the great questions of
statecraft and sociology at a single blow.
ir you attend the commencement exercises
at the nearest co-educatlonal college you will
see this fair creature and you will hear her
sweetly say:
Let us not be mere Idle dreamers. Let us
go forth to battle for the good, the true and
the beautiful. Let us grapple bodly with the
great questions ol life, doing always the duty
which lies nearest us. Let us lend a helping
hand to the weary and heavy laden, brightening
their pathway and lightening their burdens.
Then sne sits down amid a great waving of
fans and a loud clapping of hands. The ordeal
is over ; likewise the Ideal.
But there Is also a real side to this question.
The realism business begius about one week
after graduation. The girl has had time to
frame her diploma and unpack her trunk.
Now she is ready to grapple with the duty
which lies nearest her. But If you visit her
you will see this picture:
In the foreground a hard-working mother.
In the rear a sweet young creature in a hammock
reading with breathless interest a
treatise on "Home Missions."
H111 look at the other side of the picture.,
See this embryo statesman, who, having wrestled
with quadratics and pneumatics and biology
and psychology for several years, fondly
believes he Is as able as he Is willing to grasp
the lielin of statecraft and steer the old ship
safely through the shoals and quicksands Of
doubt and error. Hear him:
Let us not be superficial! The world needs
us. The nation calls us! Let us gird up our
loins, as one who goes forth to run a race and
rejoice in the strength of our young manhood.
But two weeks latter If you search for that
young man who decried superficiality so emphatically
you are likely to find him actively
engaged in the soup-or-fish?-ial business at
the nearest cheap restaurant. And his loins
arenofglrdedupasone who goes forth to run
a race," but are girded up with a waiter's
apron.
Verily, this is the season of the Ideal. The
real has an Inning about the first of July.

How <lo You Like tills Platform?
A citizen of Worth county, Georgia, announces
liis candidacy for Congress, and gives
his platform through the columns of the
Worth Local as follows:
The writer takes tbis method of announcing
to the people of Worth county that he Is a
candidate for Congress In the third party
nomination. My reasons for leaving the old
Democratic party are that It has always
schemed and tried to give everybody an equal
showing, by which those who spent have not
poorer, and the longest poles have kuocked
..IT nil Ihp nprslmmons. I now DrOOOSe tO gi Ve
the short poles a chauce.
I believe that Wall street is nble to feed the
balance of the country and should be made to
do it. The foolish system of every man having
what he has earned and saved has become
obsolete and should be abolished.
I believe in creating new parties and government
offices until every man In the country,
who is too lazy to do anything else, can
become an office-holder and collect the money
from Wall street to fly high on.
1 believe every freeholder in the country
should be made to divide his land with the
llrst poor Godforsaken tramp that comes
along until we all become ireeholders or
tramps together.
1 believe every Union soldier ought to be
pensioned until lie is able to live without
work, and the Confederate soldier be made to
feed him.
I believe the women should be allowed to
vote. They govern the country now, and they
ought to have the credit ot it.
The lirst thing I shall do when I get- to Con
stress will uo 10 jms-s a um uiumii^ whvu
worth twenty-live ceuts per pound.
Next, u hill giving every man us much rnouey
us lie wants, and if the government hasn't
enough money for that let them make enough
paper money to do it.
Then, n bill compelling the governineut to
Ionn every man as much money as he wants
at 2 per ceut., and to raiso this money by taxing
the people until tlicy have to borrow it at
10 per cent, to pay the taxes with.
I will establish a custom house and subtreasury
In every inland county in the State
until I get enough voters in olllce to carry the
elect ions for my side.
I believe the government ou'/ht to own all
means of transportation, including horses,
mules, oxen and asses?in otlice and out?and
be compelled to feed them and let every man
ride that wants to.
1 propose to passu law making due bills leU'nl
tender, and when a man gets out more
than lie can pay, will pass a stay law to keep
everybody from collecting them.
I propose to place the Worth county court
house 011 wheels and move it around from
place to place until every littie town in the
county Is satisfied.
1 can think of nothing else to promise just
now, but, If there Isauylhius; olsn you want
done, 1 am ready for it and 1 propose to promise
anything that will bring in a vote.

We have no Asylum! No behind stone

times dally for treatment.
To effect a cure for the Liquor Habit requires
from three to four weeks. For Opium,
tour to live weeks?and in this time the Keeley
Remedies will do more for a Liquor or
Opium habit than can be done by all others

cure that will come to them without aid or effort
on their part, without sufferlpg or nervous
shock.
Over fifty-six thousand have been cured at
the parent and branch institutions to February
1st, 18U2, in addition to thousands of ladies
and invalids who have been privately cured
by our physicians.
We do not abruptly stop the use of liquor,
but until the patients cease its use of their
own volition, whicb is in from three to five
days, they are given all they require. The
treatment not only stops all thirst for liquor,
but eliminates the alcohol from the system
and entirely eradicates the disease; the patient

Freckles art considered a great disfigurement
l>v their unhappy possessour,
and sometimes when they are
very numerous and dark in color, they
reaily^are. The best way is to keep
, from having them by wearing a green
. veil. Do not keep out of the sun
and air, however; it is better a thousand
times to have them than to lose
, the benefits from sunshine and pure
j air.
