ESTABLISHED 184f THE RULE OF DEAD MEN. * ?- The Folly of Ktaudiiii; .Still, While Other* are Ad vatielnic?It Makes l'?i Tired to Hear I'p-SlarlH Talk of Calhomi'N Exploded Theories. Thoro ore enmn thlnes which tills IieWSpa per does not know, and It might be as veil to admit that we may be mistaken in some other things, which we thiuk we do know, but we propose to have our say. There are some stereotyped expressions that ought to be done away with, and there are some cast iron rules or laws of the Democratic party that ought to be broken. A new order of things prevails and the old dead and petritied ideas of half a century ago ure now exploded theories which do not fit the existing circumstances, or answer the r present Interests of the country. In the days of Calhoun, quite a different condition existed In the South from that which obtains at this time. But his old ante loincian Wmk are Mill occasionally brought from the seclusion of Ihe musty records of h dead past and dusted and burnlfbed to do duty In the livlug present. Under the teachings In tbe years tbat are past we were not taught todoany thinking lor ourselves, but were expected to take tbe words of Calhoun as tbe law and tbe gospel which none could question. Before the war, and during slavery, the South.or the cotton States, was an agricultural people, and, like Calhoun, believed in free trade. i The South was an agricultural people? k 1st. Because of the presence ot slaves. I 2d. Because it was not desirable to furnish in factories employment for "the poor white I trash" whose loom was more desirable than f their presence. I 3d. Because poor white men might be op I posed to tbe interests of the slave-owner, and might possibly at some time have tbecourI age of their convictions, it was therefore ' deemed best to have him "poove on." 4tb. Because the slave-owner*, in tbe interest oi slavery, adopted the policy of buying the small tracts owned by white men, and then refusing to sell land to non-blaveholders. As a result, the non-slaveholders went to the West. While thousands of the truest and best white mton of the South were yearly sent to tbe frontiers, tbe ideas of free trade, and "this Is an agricultural country," were Instilled into the mluds and hearts oI all, while Ihe Jree trade" doctrine was grafted upon the platform of tbe Democratic party. With slavery and tbe domination of tbe ' slaveholding autocrat, agriculture and free tMide was the sheet anchor of Democracy. The slaveholders ruied, and It was little less than treason for poor white trash to entertain any political Ideas tbat were at variance with those of tbe slave-owners. Hence the South was a unit politically. This unity gave the South strength, and this strength drew to it au eiemeui ui the rsorm, ana ine coalition ruled the country for a loDg lime. Mr. Calhouu whs an extreme man on many subjects,wnd we believe?unlike ibedead men who are following him today?be sometlu.es changed bis mind. Aud alotber times rays ot new light penetrated bis brain ; but the majority ol tbe plans or principles wblcb be advocated are now exploded ideas, and are only recorded as errors in tbe history ol the past, It applied to tbe present. In fact.it might be said that Calhoun swung the circle. For instance: He was a free trader and at same time was a Nuilltier of the laws of tbe United Slates; be was a believer In Slates Rights?the rlgut of Secession ; tie believed in slavery; he introduced in Congress a bill to punish most severely any postmaster who would knowingly reoelve or distribute printed mailer that was intended to promulgate abolition ideas; be left the Democratic party and co-operated with tbe Whigs; be, like some men of tbls day, believed that tbe President of tbe United State* wttB corrupt; be denied tbe power of States to confer on aliens tbe right of voting. Tbe statesmanship of Calboun was from tbe standpoint of slavery and all bis principles K5SS have been overshadowed, ana relegated to ?&?? tbe rear. Slavery having passed away, tbe cornerstone of bis doctrine bas been removed. jT To say tbat tbe political condition of tbe ? slave States bad not changed, and to say tbat tbe policy wblcb governed In tbe time of slavery would answer lor today Is to say tbat tbe former days were better tbau these, and tbat we have learned nothing In fifty years. Sound principle will survive the everlastme bills, but error must icive Dluce to Unlit. Tbe logic of eveuib Lias proved ibat tbe utterances of Calhoun are aucleni history?not living principles. Tbe Soutn is obliged to become a manufacturing people. The demands ol the times require 11. We have a vast and Increasing number of people who are dependent upon their labor lor their dally bread. Shall these people be allowed to do nothing but plow and hoe cotton? Why should not all tbe industrial avenues to competency be opened to tbose who are anxious to enter on some of the more profitable employments ? It is no longer the policy of this country to send the struggling white man to tbe wilds of tne West, but it Is sought by practical statesmanship and wise politics to keep all our people at home. Except that we can discern the fact that the nnlitlrlAnR want nfflnA It. lu liurrl to rtml mil what policy or principle governs tbem. It Is certain tbat do Iree trader i? lu favor ol developing manufactories lu the South. it Is certain that free traders are not seeking to furnish profitable employment for deserving citizens who need tbe opportunity to work. It Ib certain tbat any politician of this day and time who iB willing to shut hU eyes to tbe history of this country for the last forty years, while going back to the dead past lor those antiquated theories and principles which were enunciated for a different state of afiairs, is not a progressive statesman. He Is simply ruled by dead men?men whose forms have long since mouldered lu the dust. HONOR ROLL, ? ? Pine Grove School, Antreville, S. V.

SHOULD BE HONOEED, Marble Shafls for the Officers and Horses?Pensions for the Needy? For the Dead the Remembrance of the Warm Hearts of a Grateful Country. A proud country always honors her warriors no less than her statesmen. A noble country never forgets the gallant soldier who responded to her call to arms. *or tnese reasons those who tight her hatties or die on tented field are ever held f.n grateful remembrance by those who shared In their valor, or Inherited the glory of their chivalrous deeds The Southern soldier Immortalized himself In the struggle for SecesMon. In song and story. In history and tradition, bis fame will be banded down to the generations that are to follow. Let none doubt this. Generous minds may rear marble or granite shafts till they meet the sun in lis rising, but it is the grateful heart of the living that truly does honor to the memory of the dead. Knowing that the memory cf the soldiers will be kept (or all time fresh and sweet In the minds and hearts of the llving.it might not be amiss to suggest that something be done for the preservation of the history of the officers and horses during the sublime Rfxuirele. Up to this time It seems that all public effort or demonstration has been entirely In behalf of the private soldier, and, excent for the Atlanta desccndents of the Generals, the officers and horseB have been entirely neglected. It seems strange to us that nobody has thought of eulogizing the gallant officers and horses who served in the Confederate army. It Beems that we ought to have a public meeting which should be addressed for the purpose of excltlog interest In behalf of the neglected officers and horses. If a good meeting could be held, and we could hear some rousing speeches, it is possible that Abbeville county could get up a monument to commemorate the life and death of our brave officers and gallant horses. A very nice shaft could be had for a few thousand dollars. Such an undertaking would be attended with thanks from surviving kindred, and would give the opnlent citizen a chance to reduce his surplus cash. By erecting a nice monument to them, if another war should break out, ether citizens seeing this monument, mlgbt be inspired with patriotism and a desire to have a slmllor mnnnmfint arontoH tn hom There Is do use to put up a monument In honor of tbe private soldier. He does not need it, and does not care for it, now. In life be lacked bread, and now, when be Is dead, be doesn't care for a stone. Let us build monuments to tbe officers and horses, pension tbe maimed and needy living soldiers, but let tbe remembrance of tbe valor of the dead have the best place In the warm hearts of their living countrymen.

McDavid, of Due West, came over last Saturday week ago, to tbe home of her son-in-law, Mr. E. K. Horton to spend sometime. On last Wednesday It was tbe unexpected good pleasure of this writer to meet with tbe good people of Rocky River (Presbyterian) and Salem (Methodist) churches?the last Darned churcb In a Union Auxiliary Bible Society meeting. It was a matter of much regret to all present, that Dr. J. A. ClJfton, of Abbeville, who was expected to preach tbe Annual Sermon before the Boclety, was not present. Prof. S. B. Lathrop, of MUCarmel, who bad been selected essayist, was in attendance and performed his part admirably. His subject "Civilization" was treated in a comprehensive and appropriate manner, edifying and interesting to bis bearers. At its close tbe society beld a meeting and attended to its usual business, then an adjournment, was followed by an invitation to all to repair to tbe grove and have some dinner. We found "under tbe shade of the trees" a splendid looking dinner in waiting, and we found it still better when we began to supply the nnnln nf fvlir InrtOr m O r\ Thft Ii? r\ I rtf nf wauio ui uui IUUVI uiau, xuo guuu iauico Uk that community cannot be beaten in matters of that kind. A short while ago, Just below Latimer, a rattle snake with five rattles was killed. It Is said that a small area, on the Norwood place not far from Calhoun Falls is Infested with these venomous reptiles. There was a much crowded excursion train rnn from Anderson to Atlanta, Wednesday. Only a lew of our people took advantage of the low rates to visit that pushing city. As usual the darkles were greatly in the majorlty. Mr. R. E. Moaely, of Anderson, came down Friday, again sick. Capl. W. G. Johnson, of the same plaoe, also came down Friday morning. He joined here his family, who bad been for a week or two on a visitto the family of bis lather-inlaw, Dr. J. T. Baskln. Mies Laura Baskln, of Monterey, was up nere Friday and spent & few hours with friends. Rev. R. B. Hays, Weslyan Methodist, will begin a tent meeting; on the Ridge next Thursday. Lra.fit Friday was a gala day to many of the Sunday School scholars, especially the smaller ones?Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian of this place and its vicinity. As before announced, a picnic was then given by the Methodists, to which the Sunday Schools of the other denominations were invited. It goes without saying that the little folk were In their glory. Quite a large number of people, old, middle age and young were present, and all spent a very pleasant day. An abundance of the good things of life, bad been prepared and wero partaken of with a relish anu then there were tubs of loed lemonade which was "without money and without price," to all of which ample Justice was done.
