The Operetta, "Snow Wblte" and the"Sev en Dwarfs", to be given In the New Opera House, under tbe auspices of tbe Daughters of tbe Conjederacv, bas been postponed until Tuesday, Oct. 13. It was necessary to make tbls change on scconnto/ the delay Id completing the building. v. J "Say not tbou, what li the oause that the for rotr days were better than tbest? For tboa dost not enquire wisely concerning this". m Judge Hudson was the orator of the day i ' last Thursday at the laying of tbe Comer Stones of Ihe'New Court House and tbe City, I Hall. Hln address was delivered In tbe Court room wblcb could seat only a fraction of the multitude who bad come to do bouor to tbe occasion, Everybody honors Judge Hudson both for ? bis good bend and his good heart. He has now reached bls77ib year, and after a useful and good life for all this time he is entitled ' to tbe highest regard from all tbe people. ^ We did not bear bla speech, but we learn tbat from an old man's standpoint It was perfectly orthodox and, we know that be waB perfectly sincere In all tbat be said. But lrom tbe standpoint of a citizen of ibis KsaeraUoa we would dissent from y some things tbat be said, or least would lead ua to believe. He tbougbt the former I days were better than these and tbat the men of former times were better than tbe ' men of today. j It is true, while exalting tbe men of former times, tbat be patronized us a little and would give ns a cheering word in hope that ' we might at leaBt become good and useful |t citizens. ' Judge Hudson followed very much along j the lines that bad been blazed out by nearly all the speakers w ho have come from a dis- C tance to addrern us. He eulogized the great men that Abbeville produced In the dim past, generally beginning with Calhoun and j eomlng down the string until the names of all of our distinguished and honored kins- j men were added to the tall of the kite. Speeehes In eulogy of our distinguished 1 and beloved dead are greatly enjoyed for, say, fifty or sixty times, but after that we do j not listen with so much zest: When we have j beard such speeches for a hundred times they beoome long haired chestnuts. f ThlBtdllor belongs to that variety of men wbo do not believe that the former times were better than these, nor do we believe . that the men of former years were better than tbe men of today, exoept of course In tbe Instance where tbe descendenta are ''running out". Wnat man of this day Is not as great and as good as was bis fathei? Except where tbe descendants of great men aspire to be pigmies, where will you find a community of men wbo are Inferlous to tbelr ancestors While It It true that all people to be anything must have histories and monuments, yet It is aUo true that men of merit are seldom ancestral worshippers. What did the great men of Abbeville, or South Carolina do for us in former timet? Old they build splendid sohool houses? Did; they furnish sohools for the peoplt? Did they build elegant churches and weloome poor people into tbelr pewb? Did they build railroads? Did they give us telegraphs? Did they give us elactrlo lights and telephone*? Were they not rich, and did ihey not ride In carriages drawn by fine horses? while poor folks walked, when tbe devil caught the hindmost. Did tbey build monuments to tbe men wbo fought for freedom and gave us tbe b. st government the world ever saw? No. Did they write great histories of tbe men who commanded them? Yes. And we know little else about tbe great revolution. We bear much of tbe great men before the war whose great work was to further rivet the shaoklea of slavery. fint what do we hear of tbelr work in crowding our forefatbern ont of the laDd of tbelr birth tbat more room could be bad for tbelr slavet? It wei our forefathers tbat 'ought the revoluton, bat when the slaves ncreastd Id number our fathers bad to "move on" and so It was there were few men left to fight our battles In tbe Confederate war. If tbla Is sot true, why Is It that there are better lands than are to be found In tbe Inhabited parts of Anderson, worth about onefifth of tbe lands of Anderson which were ot affllctedby suoh 'great names as we ave produced? Why Is It that, .In a hundred years under the system or slavery, we made less progress In building churches and school houses than tbe lreed negroes of this county have made In thirty yeart? If there Is a couDty In the state that should despise the.rule that oppressed the poor before tbe war, Abbeville Is tbat county. It 1b not Id tbe heart of this editor to glorify, tbe aoi which sent our forefather! to tbe West, and wblcb act has resulted la tbe laying waste tbe fairest and the best portion of Abbeville County. Wbea did oar dlstlDqulBhed and mighty ancestors build sach a theatre or such a oourt house as McMillan aod Nlokles have bought for us? When idld our great and mighty dead build such obu'cbex as we have built and in wbloh we may worship tbe Author of our being ? Is It Dot an insnit to the manhood of today to proolalm that oar ancestors were greater or bad more public spirit than their descendants who have done so mucb more for Christianity and good government? Hub not tbls generation been busy developing the waste places made d solate by tbe ex tensive holdings of our great and mighty dead? Who led this people Into a suicidal war that shook tbls contlnen* and Oiled the land with the blood of the beet manhood that ever faced a foe? Thefaot.ls thai no better soldiers ever went to war. Our leaders before Secession led ns to a war that swept oar country as a besom of ;destruotlon, a war that filled the land with widows and orphans, a war tbat Impoverished the country. Since the war our leaders have led us along the paths of peace to prosperity and to higher j civilization than was known before tbe war The suooess of these leaders verifies tbe truth that peaoe hath hervlctorles no less renowned than of war. Then let us look more to the rising sun than to the settlngsun. Where Is the monument to the gallant unknown dead who wsnt to Mexloo. I Their names are soarcely recorded; while tbe story of tbe more fortunate Is told Id story and song. While the lack or room In the Court House prevented us from hearing bis speech It was j received witb great pleasure by those of oar people who beard It, and perhaps we are not ' orthodox Id dissenting In the particular to ? bleb we referred. j I Foley's Honey and Tar cures coughs quickly, strengthens the Inngs and expels colds.
