C., May 23.?My Dear Sir: In the "Columbia State:' received yesterday I saw your kind md flattering call made on me to ;ome to the aid of our State. Today [ see another communication from >ne of our colored citizens in the >ame line as yours. Let me say be!ore proceeding farther that I appreiiate these evidences of the confi ience still reposed in me by some of rr.rv-*-k rt T 11JT 1CIIU? WH?.CiiOj auu JL uv^/v Viavj vill never have cause to change their jpinions. I need hardly say that here is no personal sacrifice I would lot willingly make to preserve the lonor or to promote the welfare of south Carolina. All my efforts in he past for these ends give the best guarantee of my sincerity now, but vith every desire to work for our state, I see no way in which I could ;ive substantial aid. "When I last ttempted to plead for peace, and a estoration of the fraternal relations khich since "76 had governed all of j >ur citizens, a South Carolina audi- | 'nee refused to hear me and drove i I lie from the stand. I have taken no >art in public affairs in the State ince then not because my interest in hem was abated, but because I had >een rudely notified that my voice lad no longer any weight in the ounsels of the State. I have thereore kept silent, offering no advice, ittering no complaint or reproach. I lave tried to serve the State when ailed on to do so, but when my feldw citizens declared that I could do o do longer, I accepted this verdict BtbontfrRc word of protest - Eut I * ' P a it s* i: i ,m still a citizen 01 ooutn uarouua, troud of honorable record in the past ealous of her honor, and deeply Qortified at the condition she now >ccupies, and the estimation in which he is held throughout the Union. It is not my purpose to discuss low this deplorable condition has >een brought about, for I do not inend to indulge in recrimination nor n reproach, my only desire being to ee our people reunited and the State >Iaced where she stood proudly of 'ore. I am in full sympathy with ,11 you say as to our present condiion, but it seems to me that I can nly aid by my vote to bring about a >etter state of affairs, and I have ven been refused the privilege of oting because I happened not to lave complied with all the requireaents of the "dominant party" to how that I was a Democrat! If my oice can Lave any weight in the : State, it would be for all Conservaives, the only true National Demo ratic representatives in the State, to efuse to go into any primary, or any o-called compromise, to nominate in very county the ablest and best men, Conservatives and Reformers, who vill strive to make a good constituion, referring it to the people for atification of rejection, and in all o set their faces resolutely against ill fraud in our elections. I have no ear of negro domination?a cry ised only to arouse race prejudices, md to to put the incoming convenion under control of the Ring which low dominates our State. The negroes have acted of late vith rare moderation and liberality, md if we meet them in the same ipirit they have shown, they will aid n selecting good representatives for he convention. I for one am willing to trust them, md they ask only the right guaranteed o them by the Constitution of the ~nited States and that of our own state. "Corruption wins not more ban honesty,'* and I advocate perect honesty, for defeat on that line s better than victory by fraud. I lave never refused when called on >y the people of my State to serve hem: my ability to serve them now uay be past, but the wish to do so vill expire only with my life. The effort made by the Forty is in he right line and is creditauie 10 us i iriginators, but it seems to me to be mpracticable, for none of them have mthority any one save themselves. kVe can work in conjunction with hem, and I hope that the work may t >e successful, but if any Conservaives go into the convention by a primary, >hey will walk into the trap :unningly prepared for them, and will thus be responsible in part for any constitution framed by the Ring. Thanking you and my colored friend for the kind lines in which both speak of me, I am, Very truly yours, "Wade Hampton. Quickly Rslisved. Union, S. C., May 5, 1895 ?"I have been sickly all my life, and have tried many different doctors and medicines with no avail. Finally I saw Hood's Sarsaparilla advertised and decided to try it. I had been taking it but a short time before I felt greatly relieved, and I am confident of a complete cure." W. S. Rome. Hood's Pills cure indigestion, biliousness. In Death's Presence. Here is an interesting story which shows how cool a man can be in the presence of death: One day during the latter part of the war, Dr. Willis Westmoreland was dressing the wound of a soldier who had been shot in the neck near carotid artery. Suddenly the blood vessel gave way, and just as quickly the surgeon thrust his finger into the hole to stop the flow. "Doctor," said the soldier, "what does that mean?" "It means death," said the surgeon calmly. "How long can I live?" asked the soldier, whose mind was perfectly clear. "Until I remove my finger," said Dr. Westmoreland. The soldier asked for paper and pen, wrote his will, wrote an affectionate letter to his wife, and when these last things were finished, said quietly: "Let it go." The surgeon withdrew his finger, the blood rushed out, and soon the man was dead. The body of the brave fellow was buried in Oakland cemetary, Atlanta, : Ga., and every year after that until Dr. Westmoreland's death in 1890, ' ers upon the grave, a persoal tribute to one who was calm and brave in the very presence of death. A Careful Boy. The Sunday school needed money, and Mr. Smith, the superintendent, had a new way of getting it. He proposed to give each boy a dime. At the end of a month the 10 cents, with what it earned, was to be returned to the superintendent. The fourth Sunday found the superintendent ready to audit the profit and loss accounts, and he commenced with Johnnie's class. * "How have you done, Johnnie?"' "My dime has earned another one," said Johnnie, with an air of one deserving a halo. "Good," said the superintendent, 'mot only is Jonnie a good boy in helping the school, but he shows good busii ess talent. Doubling one's m ney in a single month requires no common talent. Who can tell but what we have a building banker among us. Jhonnie, you have done well." "And now, Thomas, how much has your dime earned?" "It's gone," said Thomas. "What, not only failed to earn anything; but actually lost," said Mr. Smith. "How was that?" "I gambled with Johnnie," was the [ reply, "and be wod." Bits of Useful Knowledge, j Wear old, loose kid gloves when ironing, as they will save many callous spots on one's bands. Fine laces may be cleaned by being packed in wheat Hour and allowed to remain 2-4 hours. Apply powdered alum to a fever sore. This will prevent it from becoming very unsightly or noticeable. It is a good plan to burn pine tar occasionally in a sick room, as it is an excellent disinfectant, and it also indimps fileen. 7"^ I If a shirt bosom or any other article has been scorched in ironing, lay j it where the bright sunshine will fall directly upon it. If sheets or tablecloths are wrung by putting the selvage through the wringer, the edges will not curl up, and they will iron much easier. It is well to keep a small paint brush convenient for dusting the crevices in furniture, and all spots j that cannot be reached with the j dust cloth. AYhen anything has been spilled : on the stove, or milk has been boiled ; over and a suffocating smoke arises, sprinkle the spot with salt and it will quickly disappear. Women Treated Free.

There is one portion of Senator Hill's speech in responce to the toast "Democracy/* at the recent banquet of the Democratic editors of New York, which is of special interest to South Carolinians, as it touches upon a vital issue in which they are deeply interested?the dangerous encroachments of the Federal judiciary upon the rights of the sovereign States. South, Carolina has always maintained an aggressive~^gTrH"o?^WP^ widest application of that doctrine. At times she has gone farther than other States were willing to go, but in her present fight for preservation of the principles to which she has ever clung, she has the sympathy of every State in the Union, for they have viewed with alarm the growing noonmnUnn r\f nntccr lw IVllltioiflTIS aOOUUi|^tXV/iJ Vi |/v? V* j wearing the Federal ermine, and they recognize that in the struggle South Carolina is now making they have a direct interest, for a decision against South Carolina means a curtailment of their sovereign rights as well as a curtailment of ours. Senator Hill's remarks on the South Carolina case were as follows: "A Federal Republican judge from West Virginia has recently enjoined the authorities of the sovereign State of South Carolina from holding an election for delegates to a State Constitutional Convention. This is a fair illustration of the dangerous tendency which, is cropping out every where among our opponents toward j centralization and the assumption of | doultful powers in derogation of the rights of States and of individuals. Intelligent men do not ne.d to be informed that Judge GofFs action is unprecedented, even if not a clear j usurpation of authority. His in- J junction is based upon the theory j that the strict registration laws of j South Carolina operate to impede or prevent the free and full registra tion of colored electors, and that therefore the State shall not be permitted to have a constitutional con- j vention with delegates chosen under | such registration. "It has always been understood j that the States themselves were the j judges or the propriety of the pro- j visions of such registration laws so j long as no elector was expressly ex- j eluded from the priviIege[of registra tion. "It is clear that the general government cannot revise, condemn or interfere with such laws, no matter K V.1rw llOVcVl JJUW SlilUl, UUICU3JUUU1E U1 JJU' uu ; they may be regarded, outside of ! that State so long as every elector is [ permitted by their express terms to | register. "The Constitution of New York ! recognizes manhood suffrage and { gives to every elector the undoubted j right to cast a secret ballot, no mat- j ter how illiterate he may be, but the ! recent Republican Legislature?of j ? 1 j unsavory memory?uas pusseu uu ; election law wbich not in express terms,but in practical effect, prevents bis voting unless be swears to his illiteracy at the time of bis registration and compulsorily discloses on election day to two election officers the.contents of his ballot, wbich be I must necessarily do in order to be enabled to vote according to tbe ! system provided by law. "If New York can be permitted by indirection to disfranchise classes, why cannot South Carolina ?" Senator Hill goes right to the meat of the matter. The South Carolina ! registration Jaw operates on all alike. The negro is not expressly disfranchised by them, and if from his own fault he fails to comply with its terras, the law should not be blamed. "If New York can be permitted by indirection to disfranchise classes, why cannot South Carolina?" Ah! why not? Probably because New York is not afflicted with a Federal j Judge who has an "inclination1' to j upset her laws, regardless of their j justice or constitutionalty. And New York is not alone in being per mitted to disfranchise classes by "indirection." Other States do so and have done so all along without Federal Judges daring to overthrow those "indirection" laws. But if GofFs decision is allowed to stand, if it is made a precedent, State sovereignty is indeed an idle dream of the past and the States are sunk into mere i appanages of the Federal government to be ruled by Federal Judges. Absent-Minded. , Several good stories are told of | : the absent-mindedness of some well- j 1 known divines. Of one popular 1 clergyman it is said that when walk- iug on the street his mind is gener- 1 ally so thoroughly fixed upon some ^ subject that he will pass by his most intimate friends without the slight- * G r est recognition. Once, when in the country, this minister ran full into a ( cow, which was calmly chewing her cud by the wayside. Without noticing the nature of the obstruction, the absent minded clergyman lifted his hat and, with a bow, said, "I beg your pardon." Upon realizing the ridiculousness of his error, he made a mental resolve never to commit a like Wonder again. Somewhat farther on his ramble and while still pondering the same ? ? ; ' ? ...1 1 ^ ,1. ? i ] sharP turn in the road, beyond which ? he could not obtain sight of any mov ^ ing object. Turning the corner ' quickly, he came face to face with a lady, and before he could check his 1 speed, nearly knocked the woman 1 down. Dim recollections of the cow 1 episode evidently flashed through his ' mind, for he said, sharply, "Go away, s you dirty beast." What the lady ? said is not recorded. Of another clergyman the tale is ' told that he was once riding with a J companion through the woods in Vermont. For a long time not a word had been spoken, as the reverend gentleman seemed wrapped up in some matter far from his surj roundiDgs. Suddenly a fox darted across the road, directly in front of the horse's head. The clergyman did not see it, and his companion exclaimed, "There goes a fox!'' As if ; . nothing had been said, the ministtr j continued silent, still thinking of the j weighty subject of his reverie. Fully i half an hour elapsed before he asked, quite innocently, "Where?" * Free Pill. Send your address to H. E. Bucl> len & Co., Chicago, and get a free sample box of Dr. King's Xew Life ' Pills.

I The Key to the Smokehouse Is Really the ?-Key to the Situation" : in South Carolina. j W. C. Smith in Colombia Register. No higher compliment coming ; from such a source could be paid the I Reformers than is inadvertently done ; by Butler, Pope. Dargan, Gonzales, & Co., in claiminig the entire negro j vote. It is true that the Reform party has so far refused to call on the negro to arbitrate the political dif- i ferences between the factions, and it j is no fault of theirs that the barriers : have been broken down and the i chains broken that bound tin dragon, i But now that this has been done, if ! the Conservatives refuse to go into and be bound by the primary, but ! appeal to the negro, as a matter of 1 course combinations will be formed ?-??> J iL. : between tne iteiorraers ana uie negro. There is no use mincing matters ! or usiDg words to conceal our ! thoughts. All doubt being removed i along that line, let us see how the 1 factions stand as regards their ability j to control the negro vote. It may be very confidently stated | at the outset that the negro preacher and politician will find that his stock 1 in trade has been very materially j dissipated since 1876, it matters not j to which side he may attach himself, j <U1 the o*d yarns about putting the negro back into slavery, the mule and forty acres, and not allowing the | women to wear hoop skirts and plait j .heir hair, has long since exploded, j Fhe most ignorant negro in the ( country knows now that this was all I lone to pull the wool over his eyes, j Neither will the negro boot licking . which has been so industriously en jaged in recently amount to anything. [ The same crew which is now so ] issiduously courting the negro, was j >nly a few months ago tiyiug to , Drove that Senator Tillman had ( lothing' whatever to do with the ] Tamburg riot and that all the honor ^ md glory of that little incident be- ] they "look J iwkward trying to' get the negro's \ rote" for anything less substantial han free silver ? A great deal has been said lately tbout the "key to the situation," but ,vhen the grand scramble for the legro vote is on, it will be found that i . i ] ,he man who carries (he key to the ( smokehouse has got the "key to the . situation.". ] Tens of thousands of negro voters ire today entirely dependent upon ! Reformers for the daily support of * ? a il t ii:__ ,i u [nemseives ana uieir iamines, auu it will take something more taDgible | than the promise of a good time in the sweet bye and bye to induce them to vote against the men who are putting bread into the mouths of their children. The Reformers have the means at hand for dividing, if not controlling, the entire negro vote of the cities. It will require very little argument 'to convince the well informed and influential negro politicians that their interest demands that they give their allegiance to the Reform faction, and I would advise them not to be in too t _ 1 ?? 1 * .vl rtf great a uurry iu ciu&t; iucu wuuav.i with the Straightouts. If the negro is appealed to in the coming election it is safe to say that he will be no inconsiderable factor in all succeeding elections, therefore, policy as well as justice demand that any agreement made with him should be faithfully kept. The man who doubts the ability of the Reformers to control the negro vote is not only not posted, but can't ' learn anything. Should the negro be appealed to the Straightouts will be snowed under to such an extent that even Judge Goff, who is the rock on which they build their hopes, would hesi tate to come to their assistance. No honorable means should be neglected, which promises in the least to bring the warring factions to ' a complete reconciliation, but this rule or ruin crowd should be given to understand once for all time that no clique of dissatisfied politicians can dictate to the voters of South ! Carolina. "NYilliston, S. C., May 27. ^ A Bashful Bridegroom. i'.ilasai News Review. A friend sends us the following story: 'AVtien I was young I was the most bashful boy west of the Alleghanies. I wouldn't look at a girl much less speak to a maiden; but for all that I fell desperately in love with a sweet, beautiful neighbor girl. It was a desirable match on both sides, and the old folks saw the drift and fixed it up. I thought I should die thinking of it. I was a gawky, awkward country lout, about 19 years of age; she a refined and fairly well educated in a country and at a time when girls had superior advantages, and were, therefore, superior in culture to the boys. I fixed the day off as far as I could have it put. I lay awake in cold perspiration as the time drew near and I shivered in agony as I thought of the terrible ordeal. The dreadful day came; I went through the program somehow, in a dazed, confused, mechanical way; the guests one by one departed, and my hair began to stand on end. I felt like fleeing to the woods, or spending the night in the barn, or leaving for the "West never to return. I was deeply devoted to Sallie; I loved her harder than a mule can kick; but that dread ful ordeal I could not, I dare not stand it. Finally the last guest was gone, the bride retired, the family gone to bed, and I was left with the old man. 'John,' said he, 'you can take that candle; you will find your room just above this. Good night, John, and may've Lord have mercy on your soul,' and with a mischievous twinkle of the eye the old man left the room. When I heard him slam a distant door I staggered to my feet and seized the candle with a nervous grasp. I knew that it could be avoided, yet I hesitated to meet my fate like a man. A happy thought struck me. I hastily climbed the stairs, marked the position of the landing and the door of the bridal T TTmnlrl Vmvo rliprl V>pfr>r#? LiiaUJUCi* JL Tl VUAV? V v.vv.

Two drummers walked up to the counter of one of the hotels last evening. The night clerk stood behind it, monarch of all he didn't survey. The legs of the bellboys dangled f _ # v ? * l . t i.1 irom a row 01 cnairs in iront 01 me desk. To the side a reporter, with half shut eyes, saw scoops in the ceiling and heard them in the elevator. "Say, Pete, scratch out that bath item from my bill, will you'" said one of the drummers to the clefk. The speaker was a dapper little fellow, with a collossa! gift of gab. "Couldn't you stand the mud bath?" asked the big strapping drummer with the shaking cheeks. "No,1' was the disgrunted reply. "Muddy Mississippi river water is the healthfulest thing in the world to bathe in," said the night clerk, mounting his stool, which stood near the cashier's desk. "Pshaw!" exclaimed the drummer.
