Ingratitude and What Has Come
of it.
Very naturally a recent editorial
remark in The Greenville, S C,
New-, copied in this paper at the
time, to the effect that the South
has put itself out of business in
Federal politics, having thrown
awav the alliance which made it
Strom* and aggressive, has attracted
considerable attention. The
Charleston News and Courier,
commenting uoon it. savs that it
O I I W *
will ho years before the South
will merit the recognition which
was gladly given to it by President
Cleveland, and says that
lthe.o has been nothing in the
political history of this country tc
compare with the base ingratitude
of the Southern people in theii
treatment of him." The Rich
mond Times agrees with this ant:
adds that when the apostles of the
new 'dispensation got possession ol
the party and formed what tho>
called the New Democracy, the}
turned their hacks upon the Dem
ocratic leaders of the North, whr
ha 1 stood so gallantly by the
South in nil her troubles siuce the
war, scorned them, denouncer
them, and boasted that the party
had repudiated them forever.
Notice was served on the Northern
Democrats that tho New Democracy
would have nothing more tc
do with them, and when Mr Bryan
w ent North he gave out that ho
was going into the "enemy'i
country." In place of these
noble Democrats of the North the
party took to its bosom the Populists
and free silver Republicans
of the W est and it was given out
that the West and the South were
allied against all the powers of
darkness in the North and Hast.
It was a sorry exchange for the
South. lt was an exhihtion of
base ingratitude : nd the South
will suffer for it.
i no rsoutn lias su tiered for it,
it i.s suffering now, in public
opinion and in self-respect.?

Dr Grier's Will Refused Probate.
Abbeville Press and Banner.
Within the last two months
throe improperly executed wills
have been presented for probate
in the otlice of the probate judtje
of Al?beville county.
1 The will of Dr \V M Grior
was not admitted to probate be
cause there were <>iily two subscribing
witnesses.']
2 The will of Mrs Ferguson,
wife of .J C Ferg 'son, was refused
probate for the same reason.
The will of Dr .J W Thomas
was signed in the presence of
only two witnesses, but in the codieil
tho will itself was recognized
and the codicil was signed by three
witnesses. This act apparently
remedied the will, but when the
witnesses were confronted with
the affidavit they declined to subscribe
to it on the ground that
they did not sign it in tho presence
of each other.
