An old and illiterate woman gives the following as the sum of a Chris tians duty. The phraseology is homely but full of the milk of human kind ness, che kind that makes butter-and betcer : "Be kind to all. Never try to insult or injure any one. Never talk about your neighbor:; Go to church all you can, and beliav j Well. Help all that are in need if you can. Treat poor people as well as you do the rich. Visit the sick, read tbe-Bible, do your duty, and try to get to heaven w Old People Told Him. Capt. Stan. Ityan, of Horns Craek tried to break up a sitting hen recent ly and put an old cat with young kit tens in the bens nest. The old hen re turned had a battle royal with the cat, drove her off, and is now placidly sit ting on the young kittens. Stan, says that old people tell him, that this is a sign that Ben Tillman will be elected President of the United States and that it is a sign that never fails ex cept in wet weather; and "you see Stan," said the old people "we havn't had a season since Ben come out for the office."

RESENTS THE GOVERNOR'S INSINU ATION AND SEEKS TO A?ALYIZE HIS MOTIVES-SOME HITS AT EDITORS. Register. Editor lle(/i8ter : In your issue of tho 10th inst., appear? a state ment by myself, explaining the shipment to me and seizure of a barrel of 'ottled beer, and a state ment by the Governor^ follows, trying to extricate himself from the hole in which I put him. The Governor'u defense of himself was so transparent, I considered it un worthy of notice from rae, but the editorials iu some of the county pap?is which have been brought ti my attention make further de fense of myself necessary. While at it, I will first handle the Gov ernor's reply. By silence he pleads guilty to my charges lhat he has accepted presents of liquor, aud I h at public money was used to ad vertise him in Atlanta. About the only other point worthy of no tice *is his attempt to explain his wanton usurpation of power in ar anging to nullify sections 25 and 31 of the law. It is a clear ca>e of "executive legislation," and he is reduced to desperate straits to unload the responsibility. I deny that the Board of Control "ap proved" I he transaction, or that I am "partie)ps criiuiuis" in it, and how on earth he obtained the oer tificate from Colonel Jones and Mr. Nicholson, that the Board had "approved" it I can't understand. It must be another exemplifica tion of his superior diplomatic powers. I have never met two gen tlemen in whom I have greater confidence in their purity and in tegrity than Colonel Jones and Mr. Nicholson, and I can't believe they would know-ngly do me or any oth^r person an injustice, and I don't believe they realized the meaning .of the certificate ,they signed. I submit that the minutes are the high .?st evidence of the ac tions of 'he Board, ai.d I have at tended every session and if any "approval" was considered or min ute read to that effect I have no -knowledge of it. A rule was passed instructing Chairman Jones, on the advice of the Attorney General to release a few packages ol liquor already seized and iu the banda of the Board, but that did not carry the right to release future seizures or to "approve" the action of the Governor in keeping it out of the hands of the Board-and I be lieve this accounts for their certifi cate. The Governor gives as his ex cuse for his little trick that tb?? Attorney General advised him to do it and, in support of that con tention, publishes a communica tion from Assistant Attorney Gen eral Townsend, dat 3d May 9th, which says: "I advise his excel lency, the Governor, to uiake the arrangement," etc. Npw I arrived in Columbia on May 4th and found this little "arraugment" already mad*1, and it seems that he only got the "advice" of the Attorney General to do it on May 9ih, four days after I knew it had been madt\ The Governor prates con siderably about his "righi" to ex pect he "co-operatiou" of the members of the Board in the en forcement of the law-meaning* evidently to insinuate that he had caught me irving to evade the Jaw by having beer shipped to me, when be knows that I was igno rant of the shipment and he said go at Edgefield. I have it from his own lips that while he was charged wilh running the Dispen sar}' and until the new Board look charge, he . frequently had "Sam ples" ehipp-'d to him, hut now th;y had quit, coming. (Does he feel slighted?) Now he says, "the law is no respecter of persons," and I would like to ask if he had the constables ty seize these "free sr.m ples" "improperly" shipped to himself? or is he above the law? I assure the Governor that I want no rights under. I he law superior to other people, though Y dislike being made tn example. All I ask is, don't hit me below the belt. Brave men don't fight that way, nor punish innocent parties. J care nothing for the beter or its seizure, except the motive that prompted it. What remains of the beer is in the sample room of the Board of Control, E-ddressed to ruo as a "Member of the Board of Control," agd is properly "certifi cated," and the Governor is guilty of ordering the illegal seizure of a legally shipped packege of beer. I don't believe the Governor would have treated any other member of the Board, or auy other citizen, as he did me, and that's all I object to in the whole matter. Now as to the editorials of some of the county papers: To arrive at a true conception of the Gover nor's "motives" as reflected by these "editorials," it will be neces sary for me to go into some of the recent political history of the Slate. I was elected to the Legislature in 1894, and wenl there with my head full of what I expected to do. Like most of we "fool farmers," I thought the government was in the hands nf farmers and Reformers at that time, and expect?d to find everything O. K. Imagino my sur prise when I found that a little band%of "pap-suckers" had formed an "oligarchy" of select men and was, carrying the Reform move ment and the gevernment to the devil as fast as time and trickery could do it. I abandoned all thal I was going to do, reversed my policy and tried to keep the "other fellow" from doing too much.* When the session of 1896 cime 0!^ I. was pretty well "loaded" and began to "shell che- jyoods" in the interest of candid, honest govern-.. ment, I foresaw that history was repeating itself. In 1876 the peo ple became tired ol' the yoke of oppression and rose in arms and established a representative gov ernment. Selfishness is the pre dominant trait of the human charactor an6 degeneracy soon set in. Disappointment, indifference, suspicion and the want of confi dence resulted in the up-heaval of 1890 and the beginuing of a new polirical era in South Carolina, "Like, causes produce like effects," I foresaw where we were drifting and threw ir^elf in the breach to try to arrest the tide aud prolong good government and the interest of the people in public affairs, The whole power of the adm i ti rs tration was (for various reasons) brought down on me to crush me, but I came out on top, as .ny elec tion to the Board of Control shows, The Governor even threatened to withhold his signature to the Dis pensary bill until after adjourn ment, 60 that he could have the appointment of ?he Board and heep me* off. This lit tle "oligarchy" attempted to de stroy my influence in the General Assembly by dubbing me "Wil liams the crank, cheap John, pea nut politician," but I warned my friends on Ihe floor of the House of it in advance aud "held my own," My friends told me 'we want a man of your character and ii'jrve on the Board of Control and will put you there, because we know wc can trust you." and I will always have the most grateful recollections of those men. . My foremost political creed has been that a dollar's worth of taxes should buy a dollar's worth of gov ernment, and that alone accounts for the hatred visited on my head. I think this little "history" should prepare the public to understand the Governor's "motives" in seiz ing my beer and the intent of these little editorials. He feelG like I have been "telling tales out of schcol," and if I can hold the confidence of the people that they will kick him and his little crowd out of a good job. This tells the whole tale, He has failed to create the im pression that I ama crank, and now he seeks to besmirch my charac ter and destroy confidence in me. He wants the public to believe that I have been "tampered" with by a beer manufacturer, and is willing to risk casting odium en the Dispensary law to accomplish that purpose. And these pitiful Rtle devils trying to run one horse papers, anticipating the wish of their master, prance out and say "me too." A contemptible lit tle paper published in Abbeville by a pitiful little statesman out of a job says "the size" of the pack age of beer is "suspicious." Sus picious of what? If he \v-ill be mau enough to tell me to my faoe what he insinuates, I will in short or der make a football of his carcass. I have only been doing my duty as I saw it, without fear or favor of friend or foe, and as long as I am charged with a public trust I will continue to "hew to the line." I have stood by the Governor in the past when he was right, and have blistered him when he was wrong, and will continue that poli cy, But he must "keep off the grass," This cou trove! sy is un sought by me, but v/b'm my char acter is assailed I shall always hit back. If the Governor or his henchmen mean to force a com parison of our records for honesty, "lay on Mncduff." L, J, WILLIAMS.

From several sources the sug gestion has come that Judge Earle would make au excellent compro mise candidate tor United States Senator, and we are quile sure that Greenville County would heartily second such a proposition. It gems that his friends in the low er section of the State are propos ing him for this position, and when the opportunity is given the response from the up-ecuntry will be strong and emphatic. Ther 3 is an objection to his becoming a candidate for any political office, a? he is making ono of the ablest and most practical judges in the Stn te, au I it would be a serious TOS?? rothe bench were he trans ferred frotiUli'? judiciary to an other field of l?T^^-B^des^astn candidate for United States Se^u?H tor, he would be compelled" to I make the race in the general pri-l mary, and this "would take him j flora the bench right away. How- ? ever, it is morally certain that an other candidate will enter the field for the United States Sonate, as the people are nothatisfied with the present outlook, and since the voters are. lo determine this mat ter at *he primary, we think the suggestion of Judge Earle is wise and timely. At any rate the men tion of his name will put men to thinking, aud the probable out come will be that a demand will be mad? for his services in the ensuing campaign.-Greenville Mountaineer.
