The editor return# thanks to
County Treasurer Cauthen who
occupied his sanctum and ground
out the brilliant editorials and |
spicy locals contained in the last j
issue of The Ledger. \V'e won't
mind baring our 4,pictur" token j
often hereafter if Mr. Cauthen
will agree to accept the responai- I
bility of getting out the paper in
oil1' absence. We aro not tolling
him all the many compliments we
have heard paid the last issue.
That there is a strong feeling
for McLaurin in the up country
there can lie no doubt The fol .
lowing from the Spartanburg
Herald, written by T Larry
(ianU, at one time a supporter of
Tillman, is un indication of the
change that has taken place
44 The acquisition of the Philip*
pine islands will do more for the
upbuilding and development of
the South in general, and for the
Southern cotton growers and
Southern cotton mills in particular
than any stent that has occurred,
or could possibly occur, since the
declaration of Americas indepen*
dunce wa> signed.
44It is high time that the intelligent
voters of ihe South were
beginning to thiek and reaaoe for
themselves, and not so blindly
follow politicians and officer eekers,
whose love of self and thirat for
promotion greatly overbalances
devotion to hi* people and his
country.
441 am a democrat to the core,
but 1 urn u progressive, twentieth
century democrat, and not an old
political fossil, that, when going
to mill, puts a rock in on* end of
the wick and corn in the other,
ju?t been use my daddy always did
that. The world don't stand still,
but mores forward. Every year
new issues are arising and new
conditions present them?elree for
our solution. Parties, as well as
men, if they do not desire to be
left far behind in the march of
progress, must keep pace with the
times."?Charleston Post.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR
MEMPHIS REUNION
Hoi It is Proposed to Entertain

Standing. If Unable to
Pay Will be Boarded
Free.

question with the thousands of old
soldiers who are expecting to
come to the reunion is the matter
rf railroad fare, what it will cost
to eat and sleep and whether
every old veteran will he accom
mot ated free or not during tbe
three days of the reunion. For
the many thousand* of on lookers
who are coming to the grand
gatheiing the question of hotel
rates presents itself. Visions of
scaring rates for sleeping are disturbing
the eyes of hundreds of
prospective visitors, according to
the baskets of letters th t arc being
daily received by the local
committees on this u atter.
Briefly, the hotels will not raise
their prices. This is tbe report
of the keepers themselves. But
more people will be lodged in one
room than is the usual case. Each
person will he charged the regular
rate even if lie or she sleeps
on a cot together with three or
four other acquaintances in the
same room. In this manner the
impression ha* been circulated
broadcast that the hotels will
charge $12 and $16 per day for
rooms, 'the prices will remain
ui changed for individuals, who,
however, must expect to ho put
into a room with several other
occupants.
During the reunion, a limited
number of Confederate veterans,
properly identified, will be lodged
anil fed free. Where the visiting
veterans cannot afford to pay foi
lodging and board, it will be provided
for him. In no instance
will railroad fare be advanced. 11
a veteran desires to visit Memphis,
he muat provide the means el
coming here and returning. If,
after his arrival, he presents good
and sufficient evidence that he is
unable to pay for hoard and lodging
it will lio givon free
The committee takes it foi
granted that there will he no dif
fieulty in a veteran in good standing
securing the necessary certificate
of identification. It can he
readily had for the asking and
when it is prevented here tin
committee will accept it and will
provide the necessary hospitality
without further delay. The committee
also desires to he assured
that the veteran really cannot pay
his own way. The committee
simply desires to guard against
imposition, and will do all that it
can to prevent hardships and de
lay.
In a recent interview gives out
hy Secretary Parker of the general
executive committee, that
gentleman said:
tl\Ve are not making arrangemenu
to furnish fi ee quarters and
board for any sponsors and maids
of honor except those officially
named by department and division
headquarters < 4<> in all). Rut we
are doing all we can to entertain
in a social way, all others appointed
by brigades, companies, or
veteran camps, and to this end nil
rmr best young men arc actively
At work.
"We are not making arrangements
to furnish free lodging and
meals to any camps or companies,
ixcept those organized as military
companies in uniform and under
irma.
"Any Confederate veteran, in
* - *
good standing with his camp, or
in his community, and unable* to
pay his way, properly identified,
will he furnished with a budge,
lodging and meals without cost to
himself.
"Board and lodging can he nad
here at from $1.50 to $2 00 per
day and should he procured or
engaged as early as practicable
through our information committee,
of which J S DaTant is chair,
man. who, with his as?istant, H F
; Sloan, will promptly answer any
letters or inquiries on the subject."

In her thrilling speech at the
reunion, in Columbia last week,
Mi?* Lumpkin related the following
story illustrative of the love 1
existi.ig in many cases between
the slaves and their masters:
A negro mas, strong and
healthy, but getting gray from
vears, wa* on trial for murder.
He had killed another negro and
had been lying in jail for some
time, waiting his trial. The testi

killing. When the case was called
for trial by the presiding judge,
an old man lose and in a voice
deep and low, but full of gentle.
ne*s, said: 4'Will you honor ple*aa
mark me for the defense?"
It was Gen Robert Toombs of
Georgia His fuce was wrinkled
some with age, but it was large
and strong and the lines of intel
lect made deeper wrinkles than
those of age. His hair was white,
but it rolled back in bub curls
from the most splendid brow that
ever graced a man. His form
was tall and stiuight and fullsized,
though his movements were
slow with the years His eye
still flashed as when he stood in the
senate ohamber at Washington.
The case was tried. The witnesses
all seemed unfriendly toward
the prisoner. In his own
statement he claimed that the
killing was in self-defense.
Gen Toombs addressed the
ciurt and jury at the last and after
fully discussing the testimony
of the witnesses, he concluded
th u s:
44Your honor, please, and gen
tiomeu ot the jury: A few years
H2o my only brother fall wounded
on the battlefield of Gettysburg.
He lay there bleeding to death
with no friendly hand te help him.
Shot and shell, the tierce, fitry
stream of death, were sweeping
the earth about him. No friend
could go to him, no surgeon dared
approach him. The singing of
bullets and the wild music of
shells was to be his only requiem.
My brother had a body servant, a
negro man who waited on him in
camp. This negro s iw his master's
danger and straight out into that
sheet of bat le and flame and death
|
he went. A cannon shot tore the
flesh from his breast, but on he
went, and gathering my brother
in his arms, the blood of the man
I mingling with the blood of the
master, bore him to safety and to
life. Jim, open your collar.!"
And the jury saw on Jim's
breast long, jagged scars where
the shell had ripped its way.
Continuing, Gen Toombs said:
"Jim's skin may be black?he
may be a negro, but the man that
would do what Jim did for my
brother has a soul ton white ever
to have killed a man excent in de
fewse of his own life."
Jiin w?* cleared.
