. Mr. E. H. Aull, editor of the Newberry
Herald and News, having repeated insluua- 1
tions after I bad pronounced them false, I
make the following statement. i
This newspaper Is edited by the man whose '
| name appears under the editorial head. He
has two local assistants. One Is not only one
of the best, but is one of the handsomest,
young ladles in town. The other is a gentleman.
I have twice told the Newberry Herald and
News that its insinuations ai to the editorial
K-* conduct of this paper were false. I
A gentleman who does another an Injury, J
without just provocation, Is usually ready to
make all proper reparation. Instead of repeating
the offense after he Las been told that
be was acting unjustly.
If the .Newberry Herald and News persists
I In Its Insinuations after ;hey have been
branded as false, It would seem that be Is
only actuated by a malicious Intent to injure
a brother editor.
I leave it to the publio to say whether his
recent conduct has been fair, high or honorable.
Hugh Wilson.
Political Meeting Threatened.
j?r We learn that a caucus was held at Abbeville
Monday, consisting of looal political
lights. Nothing, or very little, is given out
for publication, or otherwise. The impression
which we get is, that Senator Tillman
has Intimated that be would be glad to have
a meeting at Abbeville, to which he and the
Senatorial candidates would be Invited. The
proposition was made to have the speaking
on Saturday, the 31st instant. But, as some
doui)t existed as to other appointments for
that day, the suggestion for that date was
held up for future aotlon. For reasons, Saturday
Is not a good day. The speakers like to
get home before Sunday. It Is not a good day
for Abbeville. That day 1b pay day at the
cotton mill. Nearly every merohant Is Interested,
either in collecting bills or In selling
goods on that day. Besides the business of
the cotton mill people, the general trade of
the town is better on Saturday than on any
s. ' other day of the week.
? * \ Besides these reasons there may have
been others. For instance: The local pollti- j
clans may wisely prefer to let MoLaurin and
xmman ngm out tneir Dailies. isone 01 ine
yi ' ' local politicians have yet announced their
g&y. candidacy, and, under the circumstances,
there seem to be little good In the call of a
Tillman meeting. It Is known that McLaurln
Is away, and will not be back In time to
attend the meeting, even If he should be invited.
Even among Tillman's followers or
friends there is a disposition to be fair.
Even if it be concluded to call the Tillman
meeting, to which MoLaurln is not expected
to come, the expense of the meeting is a lion
in the path.
In the usual campaigns there is not ro much
anxiety about entertaining the speakers. If,
however, the speakers are invited to enlightAfv'i
' An the nonnlo nn cnhlppfja fnr whlf?h th?v nro *
hungering and thirsting, somebody must pay
the expense. Somebody must hire carriages '
and meet them at the trains, and the same
carriages must take them back to the trains. *
Somebody muBt build platforms. Somebody
i! must entertain them at their houses or pay
their bills at the hotels, even If they esohew
cigars and dispensary stuff. Somebody's
time must go Into the scheme.
If the County Executive Committee shall
so direct, the gentlemen will be Invited, and
those who dance will be expected to pay the
fiddler. The'payment of the expenses of politlolana
whllejtrampooslng the country instructing
us in politics is an innocent way of
spending one's money. Like the purchase of
mineral springs water. It relieves us of our 8
money, and does us no barm. The cost will t
be but a small amount, and we have no doubt
~ that Tillman's friends would be glad to give
him a chance to make another speech to
them. McLaurin being in the North a general
love-feast could be bad.
We presume the meeting, If held will be on i
Saleday in September.
The Pardon of Nenl. J
Col. Neal, who was convicted for not pay- 8
lng over to tbe State the penitentiary money ?
which was In his bands, within tbe time re- <j
quired by law, is applying himself or through y
his friends, to the Governor for pardon from ?
the sentence of the Court to pay a sum of p
money and possibly serve a term in prison. "
We have no zeal In the matter, and care ^
not one cent whether he is pardoned or not. t
That is a matter in which we shall take no t
part. But we have never seen tbe equity or ?
the high principle, by which the State was r
j!;; , governed In the matter, and as the Governor y
seems disposed to pardon so many, we see no J
reason why Neal should be discriminated 0
against. h
As we understand, Col. Neal paid every cent *
of the money wbloh the.State claimed, u
When the State received that money, we be- a
lleve the State was In honor bound not to p
pursue bim, upon a mere technicality. To us f
It looks very much like persecution, and Is d
about as near coming up to our notions of j]
Justice as was the scaling of the State bouse u
bonds to fifty cents on the dollar. 8
When one citizen accepts the fall amount ;v
of another's indebtedness, that should settle ?
the matter. If every man In this country t
was sent to prison for not paying his debts on j?
the day his obligation became due our coun- tl
tcy would become depopulated, and our prl- 1'
sons would have to be enlarged.
We believe Neal has been badly treated, b
He may have his faults, and we do not say "
that be has not, but Justice and fair dealing
should characterize the conduct of the State
In dealing with even an ugly sinner.
Newspaper Influence.
The city council of Charleston has conclud* A
ed to recognize the validity of the dispensary
law. The members of the council did laBt ,
week what was cheerfully done by other a
towns years ago, namely : pass a law forbid- t
ding unlawful traffic In liquor within the 1
corporate limits. This must have been a sore
undertaking for a city wbloh has so long de- 1
tied tbe laws of the State. When that olty ?
learns that she Is pert of tbe State, and not \
tbe whole commonwealth, tbe good old olty 3
and the people will be on better terms, and
good results will come to all.
Charleston has so long depended upon J
partial legislation, and has so long ruled tbe ^
State, that tbe people of tbe great old olty a
must be mortified to be compelled to obey the c
laws wbloh she did not ask the Legislature to
enaot. [
I Tbe result, which must be gratifying to ail I
the people of the State, was brought about almost
solely by the Influence oftbe Evening
Post. Tbe able and patriotic utterances of
that paper did the work. Everywhere lovers t
of law and order, should contribute to tbe I

THE SUMMER SCHOOL.
Prof. fJllliam, Dr. KillintfNworth and
Ollicrs Tender the Teaeher* a
Splendid Reception.
On last Friday evening a reception was tendered
the teachers who had been attending
the summer school. Prof. Gilliam and the
Chairman of the Trustees, Dr. Killlngsworth,
took an active part in an effort to entertain
and pleano the pretty teachers and lovely
women who were closing a month's stay In
the city.
A large company of Abbeville's choicest
belles and beaux, together with honored sires
and loved dames, came out to assist In doing
them honor.
For beauty, intelligence and sweet, attractive
grace, the ladles of the Summer Hchool
could not be excelled In thlB or any other
land. The lingers sang sweeter Bongs than
has been heard since the morning stars sang
together. Light and beauty Ailed the auditorium,
music and song delighted everybody,
and those who were not lovely, were at least
loving. Enraptured by the charming pres
ence 01 loose wrtocn young men ana oiu meu
adore, some felt like falling down to worship
the fair divinities. Fairer than the
flowers of the field and sweeter than the
odorR which they dispel, the pretty teachers
simply carried away susceptible hearts by
the score.
When the evening program was commenced
the first young lady to appear on the rostrum
was Miss Eliza Thomson, a charming petite
arunette, who recited In her modest way a
piece which, because of her timid manner,
aer beauty of person, and the musical rythm
ot her voice, carried all captive.
Then came Mirs Jenule Arrants, as pretty
and as sweet a little maiden as ever graced a
platform or delighted assembled admirers.
She recited a piece and charmed her hearers.
Miss Janie Holllogsworth, a dream of
oeauty and womanly grace, sang a solo, which
ielighted everybody.
Miss Jones, of stately carriage and womanly
beauty, stepped to the piano and gave as
jbarmlng a piece as was ever listened to.
The gentlemen who sang to the delight of
everybody were: Messrs. J. S. Cochran. J. M.
Harden, \V. H. Jones and J. E. McDavid. Mr.
3uy R. Pltner put lite and music In the orjan
during thejevening, and his artistic touch
of the keys was equal to his best performances.
When the gentlemen sang In their great
ieep base voices, we thought of the frogs who
sang in their big broad voices in measured
^ones: "Come over, ladles; come over, ladles,"
:o which the ladles replied in a little shrill,
sharp voice: "Too deep, too deep."
When the singing and music was over, Professor
Gilliam invited those present to remain
and meet our beautiful guests who bad given
everybody whom tbey had met so much
pleasure. For an hourorso beauty and manly
ralor enjoyed each other's presence, and all
were invited to partake of Ice cream, sherbet,
Mi DAmatK^iiT r\f that crvrt If thfl mnntr la.
ilea do not get caught in Cupid's net, we bope
ibat eacb and all or tbem may come again
iext year, when they will be as beautirul
in person, as charming in manner, and as
lovely in heart and character as tbey are tolay.
Let tuneful hearts respond in heartfelt
:ones. Brother Captive, raise the tune?sing,
sing?all together:
"Here, Lord, I give myRelf away,
'TIS all that 1 can do."
THE RIVAL SMITHS,
Binders of Bundles and Builders of
Temples?One Led (he Mormons to
a Beautlfnl City?The Other is
Catching die HeiUheu Chinese for
an Inheritance.
Mr. W. R. Smith, in the employ of the Abbeville
Cotton Mill, is perhaps the best and
nost expeditious baler of ootton goods on
>artb. For several days last week be averted
seventy-flve bales a day. We know this
s true, lor he himself bath said it. We have
leard from other sources that he does his
vork well, and makes the neatest of packiges.
The Chinese are simply stunned when
hey see one of bis bales, bnt when they see a
vbole carload of them, tbev just fall down
>ewildered and amazed. When they resover
their senses the strange thing about
t is. that they bave forgotten the religion ol
heir fathers, their pig tails aregoue, and they
ire iuu-neagea ouriBuaun, wormu^ uaj ?uu
light to Imitate tbe American Smith who
)uts up such nice packages for them. To Mr.
smith's fine packages is clue much of the repeot
In which tbe Chinese hold Americans,
['he wearers of the pigtails look upon Mr.
jmlth as a mortal of superior fashion, formid
ot a superior claj. Great multitudes of
be heathen desire to make a pilgrimage to
bis country to learn and to know more of
bis wonderful man. It Is possible that they
nay cease to worship their own dead an cowry
and take up the worship of the living
American Smith. Many years ago a man in
his country named Smith had divine revela,lons
on tbe subject of polygamy. And he,
ike Moses, led a great people into the wllderless,
and. unlike Motes, he built a great city,
md laid the foundations of a temple which, in
.rchitecture. beauty and grandeur, rivalled
be temple which Solomon in the days of his
;lory ereotel and dedicated to the worship of
be Lord our God. If the American binder of
mndles should excel in glory and fame the
milder of sacred Mormon temples, and If be
bould capture tbe heathen for an inheritance
o the Lord, he will become great indeed.
BAD BOYS AND POOK DOGS,

?FoollMh Fear* of Hydrophobic
Tbe Boston Traveler says: Tbe weather is
Ikeiy to be extremely hot afur so long apelod
of wet and cold. Your dog may show
ymptoms of HlDees, possibly attended by
pasmsand frothing at the moutb. There is
lot one probability In five hundred that it
rill be anything more than an attack oflnllgestlon.
Don't be frightened and think

>ly the "ounce of prevention," and avoid
neb troubles, as may easily be done except
n cases of young dogs and those which have
lot passed the teething period. Let your pets
iave air and exercise, and do not over teed
hem. Especially do not keep them eating
tall times of day and night bits of meat,
ake, caudy, or. in fort, anything else. As a
ule feed your large dog but once a day, and
our small dog not more than twice. Give
lot much meat, but corn bread with some
Indofsoup meat, gravy, with potatoes and
tber vegetables. Some milk will do no
arm, but not too much for dogs that are beinning
to age. Oo not keep them chained
ip, or, If this cannot be avoided, let them '
sose for a run at least twice In a day. Now,
word to the boys. There will come In your
my now and then a Btray dog. He may be a <
oor friendless dog. thin and half starved,
lefore you try to frighten the poor fellow to i
eath by your screams: before you try to inure
and malm him with stones and bricks,
ast stop and think," How would I like to be |
reated it I was that poor dog?" But you i
ay, "He is only a dog." True enough, but
ou are only a boy, and the friendless dog has |
tie same Great Father above that you have,
le knows about the dogs, the sparrows, and
be boys, and He knows, as all observing <
eople have found out, that tbe boy who be- i
rlends a poor suffering friendless animal is
be boy that will make friends and succeed
a thin world when the cruel boy will be sure
o fall. There Is no more pitiful sight than to
ee a poor dog that has strayed from home, or |
as lost bis master In a strange place, or has
o home or master, set upon by a crowd of
oys, with stones aud sticks and cruel shouts, i

"""" TWO "SPOOKY" STORIES! "*
L Cruk That Broke NotMag aal m
Yulihed Dinner.
When Spiritualism was comparatively
new and we were youngsters, we used to
hear delightful spooky stories about mysterious
actions of furniture and things
which one never seem a to hear nowadays.
I remember one about some people who
had guests invited to a grand dinner. The
table was spread with all the dishes, but
the meal had not yet been served. The
family had a great store of beautiful glass
and ohlna, and it was all on the table.
For a moment the sacvaats were all out of
the dining room, and Just a* that moment
all the people in the net at the house
heard a deafening crash at MUfiff dishes.
From the dining room there oame the
sound of glassware precipitated upon the
floor and crushing into fragments, and in
the midst of the roar of this wreck there

hostess the high, clear note of the smashing
of much thin china.
Everybody in the house?family, guests,
servants?rushed to the dining room door '
at the same moment, expecting to see
nothing less than the table overthrown
and every precious dish on it broken. And
what did they behold? The table set in
perfect order, with not a thing on It disturbed.
What had made the awful crash!
Nobody ever knew. Not a dish was even
nioked in that house that day. The spirits,
so the story ran to us, had just made
terrible ghostly crash for the fan of it and
the alarm of the household.
I remember that this story impressed
mo a great deal more than it would have
impressed me if the dishes had really been .
found smashed, though it could have been
proved that no human being had been in
the room at the time. I had never before
heard of a ghost that was a crash and
nothing more. I fancy the astonishment ,
of those alleged people was not greater
than that of a friend of mine over an episode
not at all similar. This gentleman'!
wife and daughter were out shopping on<
afternoon, and he reached home ahead d
them. So far from feeling grieved and
outraged at not finding them there to
make him welcome, he set to work pleasantly
to give them a surprise by getting
them their supper. He hadn't much in
the house, but he set out what he had and
placed on each of three plates a nice lot oi
sardines and then went out to make them*
tea. He got it made and came back and

tripper wai gone I The platen wer? then
just where he had placed them, but they
were as clean as when he pot them on.
He knew that there was not another hu- _
man being in the house. What sprite had
wafted away those sardinVsf
This Is a true story. There was not an*
other human being In the house, but thi
gentleman owned two delightful oockei
spaniels, and they were In the house. Who
oan doubt that, as they licked the platel
which had contained the sardines, they
had said,to themselves: "Go to. We will
make it unnecessary for our dear mastel
to wash these plates?"?Boston Transcript.
Anthony Trollope*s Fun. v
Mr. Trollope's big voice drowned every
one else as he chaffed my father down thl
length of the dinner table. He had jested
over golf (John Blackwood was a devote!
and attained to being captain of the St.
Andrew's club). What would he not ds
next? He used to make daring assault!
upon the most cherished articles of th*
Blackwood faith. Blind, unswerving de?
votion to the sovereign was one of his fa*
vorite points of attack. >
"Now, Blackwood, how oould the death
of the sovereign possibly affect you?" h?
would say. "If you heard of it tomorrow
morning, you know perfectly well you
would eat just as good a breakfast?you
would not even deny yourself that seoond
kidney." It was in vain to protest that is
m * ??1- ? mi n
I&C6 OX bUUii a uauunuiuj wu vwugui
of broiled kidneys would be distasteful.
Mr. Trollope bore everything before him
and prepared for another attack.
The Conservative party and Dizzy wen
a tempting subject for a tit. "Ton know, .
Blackwood?you know you think exactly
about Dizzy as I do. Yon know you would
be very glad to hear he had been had up
for?for shoplifting." Tableau, all hold*
lug up their hands and Mr. Trollope delighted
with the sensation he had produced.?"Annals

. Egyptian Mormlitiea.
Here are some extracts from the adrlot
that Ani, an Egyptian scribe, gave his ion
in the thirteenth century before Christ:
"If a man cometh to thee for counsel,
let this drive thee to books for information."
"Consider what hath been; set befor?
thee a correct rule of life as an example to
follow. The messenger of death will come
to thee as to all others to carry thee away;
yea, he standeth ready."
"Take heed with all diligence that thou
woundeet no man with thy words."
"The man who, having reoeived much,
glveth little, is as one who commltteth an
injury."
"Whosoever speaketh evil recelveth no
good." .?
"When thou hast arrived at years ol
maturity and art married and hast a
house, forget never the pains which thou
hast cost thy mother, nor the care whloh
she hath bestowed upon thee. Never give
her cause to complain of thee, lest she lift
up her hands to God in heaven, and he
listen to her complaint."
"Be watchful to keep silenoe. "?Westminster
Review.
Fine People In 1789.
My lady was as reckless as my lord and
rattled the dicebox and shuffled the card!
from dusk till morning, going home with
ruined fortunes in her sedan chair when
workmen were going home from lathe and
loom to breakfast. Family diamonds and
jewels and plato were staked when the
guineas were exhausted, and when these
possessions had gone farms and estate*
were sacrificed. The amusements, too, of
wealthy people were of a coarse and cruel
description. Rat worrying, cockfghtlng
and badger baiting were favorite diversions.
Prizefighting was regarded as essential
to keep up the courage of Englishmen.?Chambers'
Journal.
Mexican Fanerali.
The Mexicans have a queer way of bury ing
the dead. The corpse is tightly wrapped
in century plant matting and placed
in a coffin hired for about a shilling. One
or two natives, as the case may be, plaoe
the coffin on their heads and go at a trot
to the grave, where the body is Intoned,
and the coffin is then returned.
