McKlnley Arrived In Boston today to be the guest of the Home Market club at a banquet In Ills honor fit .Mechanics hall. Messrs Long, Aluer, Bliss, (jage, and smith, of his cabinet, accompanied Utin together with Congressman Grosvcnor, of Ohio. The arrival of the train at South ifiiuiLmi Mrtuun ill. 11/ u uu;v;? war* i.uo uuta* slon of a general outburst of enthusiasm from the thousands who lined the streets on the line or the procession from the station to the hotel. The remainder of the day after the arrival at the hotel wafi spent In quietude by the president until at4.15 when he was escorted to Mechanics Imll to participate In the reception and banquet of the Iiome Market club. , The president tomorrow will visit the G. A. It. encampment, dine at the Algonquin club, hold a reception there, drive from the club to the South Uniou station and leave Boston at 5.10 p. in. The crowning event of the day and the principal feature of the president's visit to Boston was the banqnet tendered to him by Ilii Home Market club at Mechanics hall tonight.' The presidential party'left the Hotel iouralue under a cavalry esoori at 4 20 and proceeded through an Immense cheering crowd direct lo Mechanics hall. The reception was held In Paul Revere hall find for over three-quarters of an hour Preslient McKinley and otberdlstlngulshed guests -tood in line and were Introduced to and shook hands with fully 2,500 persons. At6 o'clock the bugle sounded, announcing that the banquet was ready to be served and the immense company marched Into the ball, while the band played. The president's table was made'consplcuous"*1?" Immense bonquets of American Beauty roses and pinks. Over the stage were large pprtralts of Washington, Lincoln and McKinley, anl underneath *as the word "Liberator" in large letters. Upon the balcony was a picture of Admiral Dewey with the motto "To the captain of a German Ship; 'You must not sail by the United States flag wltnout seeing it,'" and his famous command at Manila: "You may fire, Grldley, when ready." 'President McKinley sal at the front of the platform and among those at his table were Mayor Quincy, of Boston ; Secretary Long, Secretary Alger, Gov. Wolcott, Secretary Uage, Postmaster General Smith and Secre tary Bliss. There was great enthusiasm when President McKinley was Introduced. He spoke as follows: Mr. Toastmaster and Gentlemen: The years go quickly. It seems not so loqg, but it Is In tact six. years since it was my honor to be a guest of the Home Market club. Much has happened In the intervening time. Issues which were then engaging us have been settled or put aside for larger and more absorbing ones. Domestic conditions have improved and are generally satisfactory. We nave made progress In industry and have realized the prosperity for which we have been striving. We had four long years of adversity, which taught us some lessons which will never be unlearned and wblcb will be valuable in guiding our future action. We have not only been successful In our financial and business afialrs, but we have been succ'eesrul In a war with a foreign power which added great glory to American arms and a uew chapter io American history. I do not know why In the year 189S this republic has unexpectedly had placed before It might/ problems which It must face and meet. They have come and are here, and they could not be kept away* Many who were'impatient for the conflict a year ago. apparently heedless of Its -larger results, were the first to cry out against the far-reaching consequences of their own act. Those of us who dreaded war most, and whose every effort was directed to prevent It, had feurs of new and grave problems which might follow lis Inauguration. The evolution of events which no man could control has brought ihese problems upon us. Certain It is that they have not come through auy fault on our own part, but as a high obligation, and we meet them with a clear conscience and unselfish purpose and with good heart to resolve to undertake their solution. W?r was declared in April, 1890, with practical unanimity by the cougress, and, oare upon us, was sustained by like unanimity among uie pe"pie. i were are nmuy wuu nave tried to avert if, as on the other hand there are those who would have precipitated Hat an earlier date. In Its prosecution and conclusion the great majority of our countrymen of every Bectlon believed they were fighting In ajust cause, and at home or on sea or In the field they had part lu Its glorious triumph. It was the war of an undivided na tlou. livery great act In Its progress, from Manila to Santiago, from Guam to I'ana, met universal and hearty commendation. The protocol commanded pract' -ally the approval of the American people. It Is welcomed by every lover of peace beneath the flag. The Philippines, llae Cub', and Puerto Rico, were entrusted to our husds by the war, and to that great trust, unacr the providence of God and in the name of uuman progress and civilization, we are corn ml tied, It is a trust wu ,iave not sought; it Is a trust from which \vc will not flinch. The .-vmei lean jJtuiJii: mil uuiu up luo uuuun ui ihelr servants at home to whom they commit Its action, while Dewey and Otis and the brave men whom they command will have the support of the country in upholding our flag where.it now floats, the symbol and assurance of liberty and Justice. Wliat nation was ever able to write an accurate progrumine of the war upon wblcb it was entering, much less decree in advance the scope ol its results? Congress can declare war, but higher power decides Its bounds and fixes Its realities and responsibilities. The president can direct the movements of soldiers on the field and fleetfl upon the sea, but he cannot foresee the close of such movements and prescribe their limits. He canuot anticipate or avoid the consequences, but he must meet them. No accurate map of nations engaged in war can be traced until the war lii over, nor can the measure of responsibility be fixed until tbe Jast gun is fired and the verdict embodied in the stipulations oi pence. We bear no complaint of the relations created by tbe war between this government and the islands of Cuba and Puerto Rico, There are some who regaid tbe Philippines in a dift'ereut relation, but whatever variety of views there may be on this phase of tbe question, there Is universal agreement that the l*li i I i rkrvl n ou uhull rwil tnmoH Spain. No true American consents to that. Even if unwilling to accent them ourselves, It would have been a weak evasion of manly duty to require Spalu to transfer them to some other power or powers and thus shirk our own responsibility. Even if we had had, as we did not have, the power to compel such a transfer, It could not have been made without the most serious international complications. Such a course could not be thought of. And yet had we refused to accept the cession of them we should have bad no power over them, even for their own good. We could not dlschargo the responsibilities upon us until these Islands became ours, either by conquest or treaty. There was but one alternative and that was either Bp <ln or the United States In the I hillpplnes. The other soggestion?first, that they should be tossed into the arena of contention lor the strife of nations; or, second to be lett to the anarchy end chaos 01 no protectorate at all, were too shameful to be considered. The treaty Save them to the Unit ed States. Could we have required less and dotieour duty? Could we,alter freeing the Filipinos from the domination of Spain, have left tLeru without power to protect lileand properly or to perforin the International obligations essential to an Independent state? Could we have left them in a state of anarchy and Justified ourselves in our own conscience or belore the tribunal of mankind ? Could we have done that iu the sight of God and man ? Our concern was not for territory, or trade, or empire, but for the people whose Interests | and destiny, without our willing it, had been put in our hands, it was this feeling from the first day to tjie last, one; not one word or line went lrorn the executive in Washington to our military and naval coinmauderH at Manila or to our peace commissioners at l'aria that did not put as the Hole purpose to be kept in mind firs!, after success of our arms and the maintenance of our own honor, the welfare and happiness and the rights of the inhabitants of the Philippine Islands. Did we need their consent to perform a greRt act for humanity? We had it in every aspiration of their minds, in every hope of their hearts. Was it necce.^ary to aslc their consent to capture .Manila, the capital of their islands? Did we ask their ronsent to liberate them from Spanish sovereignity or to enter Manila bay and destroy the Spanish sea power there? We do not ask these; we were obeying a higher moral obligation which rest eel on us and which did not require anybody's consent. We were doing our duty by them with the consent of our own conscience and with the approval of civilisation. Every pres ent obligation has been met and fulfilled in the expulsion of tliu Spanish sovereignty tVoui their islands, anu while the war that destroyed it was in progress we could not ask their views. Nor can we ask their consent. Indeed, can anyone tell me in what form It nmiiii ho murul.nlpri und ascertained until | peace and order, ro nec.ccssrry to reign of reahod, shall be secured' and established ? A reign of terror Is not the kind of rule under | which right action and deliberate Judgment are possible. It is not a good time lor the liberator to submit Important questions concerning liberty and government to those to bo liberated while they are engaged in shooting down their rescuers. We have ended the war with Spain. The treaty has been ratified bv more than ',wothirds of the senate of the United States and by the Judgment of nine-tenths of its people. No nation was ever more fortunate in war or more honorable In peace. It remains to ask what we shall now do. I do Dot Intrude upon ; the dnt leR of congress or seek to anticipate or forestall its action. I only say tnai tne treaiy of peace, honorably secured, Laving been ratified by the United States, and as we confidently expect, shortly to be ratified In Spain, congress will have the power, and 1 am sure the purpose, to do what in good morals is right and just and humane for these people In distant seas. The future of t he Philippine Islands 18" now in the hands of the American people. Until the treaty was ratified or rejected the executive department of this government cou'd 6nly | p-eserve the peace and protect lives and property. Thattreaty now commits the freeand enfranchised Filipinos to the guiding hand and liberating influences, the generous sympathies, the uplifting education, not of their American masters, but of their American emancipators. No one can tell todp.yi what is best for them or for us. r know no one at this hoar who is wise enough o?sufficiently informed to determine what form of government will best subserve their Intereats and ours, their and our well being. If we knew everything by Intuition?and I sometimes think there are those who believe that If we do not they do?we should not need Information, but unfortunately most of us are not in that happy state. The whole subject Is now with congress and congress Is the voice, the consciences and the Judgment ol the American people. Upon their Judgment and conscience can we not rely? I believe in them, I trust them. I know of no better or safer or more humane .tribunal than the people. Until congress shall direct otherwise it will oe me amy 01 me exeuuuvu lo possess ?nu bold the Philippines, giving to the people thereof peace and order and beneficent government, affording them opportunity to prosecute tbelr lawful pursuits, encouraging them In thrift and Industry, making them feel and know that we are their friends, not their enemies; that their good Is our aim, their welfare Is our welfare, but that neither their aspirations nor ours can be realized until our authority Is acknowledged and unquestioned. That the Inhabitants of the Philippines will be benefitted by this republic Is my unshaken belief; that they will have a kindlier government under our guidance, and that they will be aided lu every possible way to be self-respecting ana self-governing people is as true as that the American people love liberty and have an abiding faith in their own government and In tbelr own inhaltants. No imperial designs lurk In the American minds. They are alien to American sentiment, thought and purpose. Our prloeless principles undergo no change under a tropical sun. They go with the fiat: "Why read ye no the changeless truth, The free can conquer but to save?" If we can benefit these remote peoples, who will object? If In the years of the future they are established in government under law and liberty, who will regret our perils and sacrifices? Who will not rejoice In our heroism and humanity? Always perils and always xfter them safety; always darkness and clouds, but always shining ^hrcugb them the light! huo su Dsn me; aiwuyn ciwi huu suunuce, out uiwnys after tbem the fruition of liberty and education and clvilzatlon. 1 have no light or knowledge not common to my countrymen. I do not prophesy. The present Is all absorbing to me, but I caunot bound my vision by the blood-stained trenches around Manila, where every red drop, whether from the veins of an American soldier or a misguided Filipino, Is anguish to my heart, but by the broad range of future years, wheD that group oi islands, under the Impulse of the yearjust past, shall have become tbe gems and glories of those tropical seas, a land of plenty and of Increasing possibilities, a people redeemed ( from savage Indolence and habits, devoted to < the arts of peace, in touch with the commerce and trade of all nations, enjoving the bles slngsof freedom, of civil and religious liberty. of education and of homes, and whose children and children's children shall for ages hence bless the American republic because It emancipated and redeemed their father- ' land and set tbem in the pathway of tbe I world's best civilzation. I THE STOYE BLEW UP. An Accident Cansed' by a Frozeu 1 Water Pipe. 1 Columbia Record. People who have heating pipes running to their stoves and furnaces should be careful I to see that the pipes have not been frozen, as | At Prof. Colock's house a pipe runs to the stove and heat is conveyed through the house. I Yesterday morning the cook started the Are, turning on the water. This soon came to the boiling point, but as the pipe leading from It was frozen solid, there waH no escape for the steam. In a few minutes a terlfic explosion occured, In which the stove was knocaed to smithereens. Great pieces of it flew to the ceiling and around the walls, two pieces strlcklng (he cook on the bead and hip. Fortunately the cook was not killed, but It was only by a miracle. One or two accidents of a similar character, but of smaller consequence, have been reported in the city. Npenklue Facia. Columbia Record. Here Is an cxtract from Governor Ellerbe's message to the legislature In 1899. "It Is useless for me to make an extended I argument to show that our system of liquor ] control Is a proper exercise of t he police pow er, ana mat, juage mmomoD is wrong iu uis decision denying his power to the state. 'But as facts speak louder than words, 1 will give the testimony of ministers of the . gospel In the state as as to the effect of the dispensary law on the morals of the. people and on the reduction of drunkenness among < them. Out of four nundred and alxty-three answers received from the ministers of the , state to questions submitted theui In a circular letter, dated October 1st. 1897, three hundred and twenty-four reported a decrease j in drinking of forty-six and one-third per ' cent,, and a corresponding decrease in drunkenness since the dispensrry law went intoef- i feet. Sixty-nine reported an Increase in < drinking of fifty-four and three-fourth per i cent." i Since that messaee was written, the su- i preme court of the United States upheld the < constitutionality of the dispensary law, the original package shops have have been closed ' and there has been a further decrease or | temperate use ol liquor.

The depth, about 8 inches, snow a week ago, although It produced much suffer- . lng with all who were not supplied with wood, yet was a Joyous time with the rabbit hunters. Mr. B. Bolln Allen with a lew hounds caught and killed 85 Monday and half the day Tuesday. Others, were'almost equally successful In diminishing the rabbit 1 race. . _ x f The expected valentine party Tuesday night, either froze up, or stuck in tbe mud. The mail was freely used however. In commemorating the day. The modern way of doing this, Is, to our way of thinking more objecilonaole, than that "of the days of yore." Then a valentine was complimentary both to the sender and receiver?now, It Is neither. Times change. Dr. 8. J. Brock, of Modoc, was here Thursday and Friday, "spying out the land," to see If It flowed with milk and honey. Dr. J. S. Wilson of Antrevlile, was here Thursday, with the same purpose in view. In plainer words these gentlemen, were looking around to find out tbe Inducements offered to an M.' D.. to locate here, as Dr. B. A. Henry's early departure would leave an miHiii mr. Several nhvslcl^ns from as manv different places, have been here In tbe near pant, but not one, so far as Is known has decided to come. 1 Rev. G. T. Harmon, Presiding Elder, was looked for Thursday night, but having failed to make the neccessary railroad connection at McCormlck, did not reach here till 6 p. in., the next day. The Quarterly Conference for this charge was held in tbe Methodist Church Friday night. Owing to tbe unfavorable weather the attendance was quite small, only a few of tbe official members being present. Tbe different reports given, were as lavorable ' as could have been expected under the olr- ' cumstances. Saturday evening as tbe down freight train was leaving this point, before it bad passed entirely beyond tbe sidetrack, two of tbe cars and the cab, left the rails and damaged the road-bed considerably. The three ladles who J were in tbe cab were badly shaken up and scared. During tbe past two or three weeks the bad weather has put tbe road-bed in such a fix, that some part of tbe freight train on this road has run off every few days. The rolling stock, and the road has suffered, but foctunately no lives have been so far lost. Mr. M. W. Speer returned a few days ago from a very pleasant trip to Winder, Ga. Mr. W. C. Tennent w?nt to Florida, this day j was a week ago, where be expects te remain for sometime. Rev. J. R. Vaughan of Hendersonvflle, N. c C., delivered a temperance lecture in tbe 1 Methodist Church, this place, yesterday at 3.80 p. m., to quite a large audience, which ' gave tbe speaker very close attention. His t address was a good one, on this very lmpor- t tant subject. Prof. J. R.T. Major,as Ibe exercises in bis school were necessarily surspended because of th dreadful weather, went to bis home la Greenwood for a few days visit. All of tbe i schools, so far as known to the writer were , closed. Mrs. John Cater, of Atlanta, came here a few 1 days ago, to visit tbe families of ber brothersin-law, Messrs. Ed Smith and J. M. Carllte. Owing to too much feed, and having bad f nothing to do, a few days ago, Mr. M. W. Speer's horse got above himself *nd while bitched to tbe buggy and tied to a tree, broke loose, ran off and somewhat smashed up things.

A little out ol their line to become a horse drover, but then there !s no knowing what a day may bring forth. / Rev. J. A. Brown, pastor of the Baptist Church here, occupied the pulpit In the Methodist Church in this place, last night at 7.30. He gave us quite an interesting sermon, which was closely listened to by the good' congregation present. Troupe. J r 1 - E Learn to For^Jve. Learn now to forgive.
