Kershaw, July 7.? Mrs Lou
IMvler is having a spacious new
dwelling built neai the depot for
the purpose of running u boarding
house.
A few days ago three or four
_ of our leading men were discussing
the suffering of the famine stricken
people of India, when one of
thorn said he would start a petition
iuimediatels and see what |
the Kershaw people would do in
the way of contributing cash to
bo sent next day. hi less than
an hour he had gotten ?15 subscribed,
and the largest amount
given I?y any one was one dollar I
and only a few or tlmt amount. |
I don't know what amount he ;
raised, l?ut suppose ho was satislied
as he people responded to his .
solicitations with ul .enty.
There will !>e a mass meeting
held on Monday n \t to discuss
the advisability of opening a high
achool in the old l> iptist church,
and -vime of the p "motors of the
school lire very enlhii-mistic over
the matter as there is not a Baptist
high school in the count".
The new Baptist church is about
completed, and it is by far the
prettiest little church in this section
and wo have never seen a
prettier church of any kind in
Charleston, Columhii, Greenville, 1
Spar'aub irg or anv of the larger
town.-> in the State. I'ho church
will bo dedicated on the 15th of
this month.
There is no doubt but that Col
.JAS A lloyt will get a handsome ,
majority of tha votes cast in this
county at the primary election.

His Response to the Last Artie
of Mr. Keys.
I __
| To the Editor of The Stute.
1 notice that Mr. \V \T Keys
rculies in your issue of today to
what I had to say to him in his
i professed defense of Col Hoyt of
I last week. In this second exhibi
ti !> of him?oI f <lwi i.i:_
IIIV? | -111 M i v:
ho add< nothing niateriallv to his
former communication. It is true
that ho reiterates his testimouy to
Col lloyt's unti 1 i<plot* record,hut
as I have never questioned thut
t.> which lie testified I have no oc
j (*asion here to qustion Ins testi
j mony, and with this 1 dismiss Mr.
Keys for the ptesent.
j I am sorry that Col iloyt is not
'satisfied with mv statement of the
I case, and that he felt called upon
to say anything on the subject.
My contention is that Col Hoyt
from about 1880 to 1888 was in
favor of the high license method
> of controlling the liquor truffic,
I because ho regarded prohibition
! impracticable in the State.
In proof of my contention I
have simply to submit, in the first
place, the editorial in the Baptist
Courier in 188t>, in which high
j license was advocated as against
low license, prohibition at that
time being regarded by that, paper
as impracticable. While it is true
that Co! Hoyt himself did not
actually write the editorial, he
was the senior editor and did not,
r> fur aa 1 know, has not repudiated
the sentiments of that editorial.
In my review of that editorial
I stated the position of the
Courier as follows: "You advises
prohibitionists where prohibition is
impracticable to join the advocates
of high license, and by this means
in some measure control the liquor
traffic.'' The editorial note which
accompanied the publication of my
review made no exception to iny
statement, but said: "Bro Gard|
ner may be right and we may lie
wrong, but if we are he has not
convinced us of the fact."
I I have to submit nj the second
' iU-4 J! 1 1
junto turn 111 lilB ClISCUSSlOIl W1I1CD
occurred during the year 1 Ss8
ho*ween myself and the ilaptist
Courier in tlio columns of that
! paper the same principle of action
in general was advocated. It is
that the issue was not high license
against low license, hut it was iho
question as to whether prohibition
should hu made a practical issue,
ami tho Courier argued against
making it an issue, and so gave
its influence, in a measure, to
maintaining the liquor system in
existence at that time. It) other
words, . considering prohibition
impracticable in tho conditions
which then existed it was unwilU
n g to stand for prohibition. I
may quote a sentence or two from
one of those editorials. The
Courier said: "Temperance alliances
in every county, divided into
township organizations, und
with an eflicient, active and intelligent
central organization for the
State would meet the neces-ities
of the situation in our iudirment.
und jjivc eohesivoness and power
to tho cause generally, lint this
must he kept aloof from partisan
politics in ordor to prove successful
and just here wc encounter the
opposition who would make a
political issue out of a great rural
question."
If what 1 have c ntributed
aoove does not show that Col
Moyt was in favor of high license |
from 1886 to 1888, he at that
time regarding prohibition impracticable,
thon 1 do not know
bow it could he shown. I wish
to say at the same time, after
v : *i-i- * ?

do not regard it a? any argument
against Col Hoyt'a candidacy to*
day, and 1 do not see why he
abould be ao sensitive about it.

Points of The Platform.
Synopsis of the Leading Issues of
the Campaign.
Kansas City, July 0.?Following
sue the principal points of the
Democratic platform:
Keallinnation of sillegiance to
the constitution.
Government not based on the'
consent of the governed is
tyranny.
Forts) Kican law enacted by the
Ke, nihlican Congress is denounced, ]
as it taxes without representation,
people who were pledged to honest
treatment.
Prompt fulfillment of our
promises to the Cuban people is
demanded, that the raid of carpetbaggers
may be cut short.
Policy of the present administration
in the Philippines is condemned
and denounced because it
puts the United States in the false
and un American position of
crushing with military force the|
efforts of former allies to aehiove
liberty and self -government.
Favors election of Tinted States,
senators by the people.
Opposes government by in-1
junction, denounces the black j
list and favors arbitration.
Recommends that Congress]
create a department of labor in j
charge of a secretary with a seat
in the cabinet.
Insists on the reduction and
speedy repeal of the war taxes
and a return to the time honored
Democratic policy of strict
economy in governmental expenditures.
Demands the continuance and
strict enforcement of tho Chinese
exclusion law and its applications
to the same classes of all Asiatic j
races:
Favors the immediate construe
lion, ownership and control of the
Nicaraguan canal by the United
States, and denounces the insincerity
of the plank in the national j
Republican platform for an
isthmian canal in tho face of the j
failure of tho Republican party to '
pass tho lull pending in Cone*
ress.
Views with indignation tho pur- j
pose of England to overwhelm i
with force the South African Republics,
and speaking for tho en-'
tiro American nation except its
Republican officeholders, and for
all freemen everywhere, itextoads
our sympathies to tho heroic
burghers in thoir unequal struggle
to maintain their liberty and in-j
dependence.
A strict maintenance of the
Monroe Doctrine is demanded as
4 4 A _ ' /
ijuir?>m y u> |)i vveui extensions or
European authority on this continent
and as essential to our
supremacy in American affairs.
Condemns the Dingley tariff as'
trust-breeding measure, skillfully
<!evised to give the few favors
which they do not desire, and to
place upon the many burdens
which they should not hear.
Opposes militarism as it means
conquest abroad and intimidation
and oppression at home. It
means the strong arm which haH
ever been fatal to free institutions.
It is what millions of our citizens
havo fled from in Europe.
Private monopolies are design
nate<! as indefensible and intolerable,
as they destroy competition,
contiol the price of all material
and of the finished product, thus
robbing both producer and consumer
and lessen the employment
of labor and arbitrarily fix the
terms and conditions thereof and
deprive individual energy aod
. '
small capital of their opportunity
for betterment.
The principles of the national
Democratic plutforu udopted at
Chicago in 189U aio rea llitned ami
endorsed and the demand of that
platform for an American financial
s\steni made by the Ameri
can people themselves, who shall
restore and maintain a himutalic
price level, as part of such system
the immediate restoration of free
and unlimited cniuuge of silver
ami gold at the present legal ratio
of lb to 1 without waiting for the
aid or consent of any other nation,
is reiterated.
