A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

Business Recovering.
Considerable importance is beint
attached to the signs of an early re
covery in business. The loan marke
shows a more decided desire to emplol
capital, and lenders are not near s(
c;;utious as heretofore. Notwithstand
ing the late heavy pressure and grea
losses, the N. Y. Bulletin says th<
test has been endured by the merchant
with an immunity from failures whiel
demonstrates the strength of the con
mercial community.
"This increased disposition to leni
we regard as the most conclusive pro
mise of an early recovery in businesi
that has yet appeared. When bor
rowing becomes easier, the transactior
of business is facilitated, things in th<
way of production and trade, becom<
possible that were impossible before,
the favorable conditions to productiow
arising from lower wages and lowei
prices of land, buildings, machiner3
and raw materials lead to new enter
prises; and when the greater readi
ness to lend has thus stimulated busi
ness, the improvement in trade react,
favorably on the loan marxet, at th
same time strengthening the confidenc
of lenders and enal ling them to obtair
better rates upon their investments
We think these foreshadowings fron
the present condition of the loan mar
ket will be confirmed by the judgmeni
of those most familiar with its preseni
condition and workinys."
In this connection the News an
Courier says:
"Here are two straws which have
some significance as showing th<
financial condition of the country
The one comes from thrifty, economuica
Connecticut, and the other from quite
the-reverse Chicago. The bank corn
missioners of the Nutmeg State repor
an increase in the savings bank de
posits of Connecti.ut from $70,769,00(
to 73,783,000 in the past year, a gar
of nearly four per cent. The Maj
quarterly statement of the nationa
Ibanks of Chicago shows that sinc<
January 1, 1874, there has been
gain of $8,000,000 in the loans, o:
more than $4,000,000 in legal tender
and cash, and of 13,000,000-more
than sixty per cent.-in deposits
These two reports tromn widely differ
ing localities pretty clearly prove th<
recaperation of the country from th<
panic of 1873, and indicate a sure i:
slow approach to an era of businest
prosperity."
A Better Era.
Writing on what it has pleased tc
term "The New South," the leading
Republican newspaper of the North
west, the Chicago Tribune, holds that
there is another new departure in
Southern affairs. "There has been."
it says, "a marked change in public
sentiment within the last few months
-a change in Northern sentiment as
to tile real condition of the Southern
p3ople, and a change in Southern
sentiment as to the real disposition
of the people of the North toward
the South. Much of the trouble at
the South has arisen from a mutual
misunderstanding between North and
South. Northern sentiment has been
heretofore mainly constructed up<n
the outrages committed in communi
ties thlat were infested with vicious
and desperate classes left by the war,
composed largely of men without
family ties, without occupation, with
oit means, and unrestrained by moral
or social influences in the indul
gence of their passions and prejudices.
Southern sentiment has been forced
into a false, narrow and resentful ten
dency bj the influence of Northern
men who have gone into~ the South
to live upon politics as a business.
The fire-eaters at the South and the
carpet-baggers from the North have
been accepted as the types of senti
ment on either side, and the result has
been a constant clashing of interests,
and an uneompromising dissension
which has prevented the reorganiza
tion of society, corrupted the politics,
and ruined the business of the coun
Itry."
Congressman Robert Smalls vin*
dicates his honor by denying the
charge that he had any knowledge
of the raised claim, that is, that a
claim of $250 was raised to $2,500.
Tie Union-Rerald says that he can
not get out of it, that "this 'raised
elaim has been taken up and cancelled,
and one for the $250 really passed has
been issued. But during the investi.
gation of the case it has become almost
certain that the $2,000 certificate,
wichl was the foundation of thle claim
passed by the Senate, was in itself a
bold fraud. We are assured that iu
hd once before figured as the basil
for a claun which was passed and
wh.ch has ien 1.a ;. T he certi ficate
Court at Laurens.
We learn from the Herald that the
Court of Common Pleas in its civil
business has been indefatigably en
gaged, working frequently from 9 un
til dark. Some heavy verdicts for
ante war debts, fo- lands and negroes,
have been rendered without "scale" or
I stint ; indeed it is feared the matter
has been, in some cases, rather over
done-the pound of flesh being nearly
approached.
The Herald says: "His Honor,
Judge Moses, in a certain cause tried
last week in the Sessions, gave peremp.
tory instruction or command to the
jury to bring in a verdict of acquittal
-told the jury that if they failed to
find such verdict they would be sent
back; hence, the jury found in ac
cordance with said instruction.
"We know nothing about the merits
of the case in question, have no inter
es& in the matter, and simply allude to
the said charge as anomalous, as it
appears to us. It may, however, have
been altogether regular and in accord
ance with strict rules of law under
"the new regime," though we had
previously been under the impression
that a judge, in the trial of any cause
by a jury, invariably charged the same
upon the law, and that the question of
fact was left to the jury to determine,
and find a verdict accordingly."
Majors L. J. Jones and J. M. Bax
ter, J. F. J. Caldwell, Y. J. Pope and
G. S. Mower, Esqs., were in attend
ance from Newberry.
It is proposed to have a re-union of
the survivors of Orr's Regiment of
Rifles at Walhalla or Sandy Springs
during the summer. The flag of this
regiment is now in the hall of the
Young Men's Library Association, in
Atlanta, Ga. It is a large silk flag,
with a silk fringe, ~ and bears the fol
lowing inscription: "Fir&t Regiment
Rifles. Aninis opibusque parati.
Cold Harbor, June 27, 1862. Ma
nassas, August 29, 1862." In the
same hall is the flag of the Martin
Guards, "presented by the ladies of
Newberry." It is a white silk flag,
with State motto on one side and an
open Bible on the other, with the fol
Ilowing inscription : "In the Lord our
God, we will set op our- banners.
Stand fast, therefore, in this liberty
wherewith Christ has made us free."
Both flags are in fair condition.
Lieut. C. Herbst, the librarian, has
them in his keeping, and will gladly
deliver them to any persons in South
Carolina who are entitled to receive
them.
A society for the prevention of
cruelty to children has been formed in
New York City, with a membership
already of about four hundred, in
eluding many well known citizens.
The officers of the society have com
piled all the statistics relating to mendi
cancy, truancy, abduction, apprentice
ship, the sale of liquor to minors, the
custody of children deprived of one
or both of their parents, the care of
those in public institutions, and various
other matters which may involve cases
of eruelty or neglect. The society has
yet no agents or special officers of its
own for the detection or investigation
of such cases, although it is expected
that these will ultimately be appointed.
It will have, however, the aid of the
police, of its individual members, and,
it is hoped, of the public at large,
and the various other societies and
institut'ons which pay attention to the
care of children. The society has
now on its books several cases of cruelty
to children which it will soon press in
the courts.
The Chicago Inter- Ocean of May
21 is on -file at the Union-Berald
office, Columbia. As the whale is to
the sardine so is this mammoth paper
of 144 pages to its little cousins like
the HERALD and others. One hun
dred and thirty-five pages of the paper
are taken up with the delinquent tax
list of Dook county, Illinois. Any
one wishing to see a curiosity can call
and examine the paper. As an indi
cation of the magnitude of the job of
issuing such a sheet, we will remark
that on the morning of publication
twenty wagons were required to de
liver the paper to city subscribers.
Thirty compositors were employed
thirty-six days in putting the delin
quent tax list in type, working ten and
one-half hours each day. The manu
script copy of the same weighed 275
pounds, and occupied 13,370 pages.
Hon. N.W.Woodfin,one of the oldest,
most benevolent citizens of Buncombe
county, N. C., died at his home in
Asheville on the 23rd of May. Mr.
Woodfin for many years was the lead
ing lawyer at the Asheville bar. ~He
was a long time a member of the
State Legislature, and at one time
lacked but a single vote of being
chosen a senator of the United States.
He leaves a wife ad three daughters,
one of them the wife of our towns
man, Benson M. Jones, Esq. Mr.
Jones left her here with his wife on
Saturday the 22nd, and consequently
did not reach Asheville until after the
dath of Mr. Woodfin:
A series of terrible earthquakes
have occurred in the province of
Boroussa. Asia Minor, and six hundIed
houses deFtroyed. So far one hundred
and sixty-one lives are known to be
lust, and one hundred and eightf
seven injured.

MR. EDITOR :-Feeling a deep in
terest in that beautiful and heavenly
science of vocal music, which is so
much neglected in our social circles
and the churches of our country, I
here ask if something cannot be done
to bring about a change for the better
in this noble cause ? I would suggest
that the leaders and teachers of the
choirs of Newberry County arouse
themselves to their duty in this en
noblityg art, and form a musical asso
ciation of the County, to meet annually
at any place they may deem proper.
Let every church of the County be
represented and much good may be ac
complished. A singing society should
be kept up in every community. For
what is more pleasing, beneficial and
conducive to the improvement of mind
and heart thau music ? Singing is a
delightful recreation which both the
old and young may enjoy. Let us
hear from sote one in.erosted in this
divine art. A.

MOUNT PLEASANT, May 24th, 1875.
EDITOR NEWBERRY HERALD:-Again the
pic-nic season is upon as, and this place be
ing a favorite resort, almost every day brings
its crowd by the steamers, sometimes extra
trips are made to bring the anxious partici
pants earlier to the sylvan shades of the
grand old oaks, or the mazes of the dance in
the spacious hall, or on the velvet carpet of
the verdant sward, and during the moonlight
nights as at present, the warning bells of the
last steamers break upon the slumbers of the
residents but one hour or so short of the
midnight hour, to take the pleased though
wearied pleasure seekers to their homes
again.
- Our sea-washed village will have a fall
share of visitors this summer-scarcely a
house is to be had now. Several of the resi
dences have been 'greatly improved, the lots
enclosed by pretty fences and tasteful gates,
and it -now altogether begins again to jook
like ante bellum times, except as to the num
ber and style of vehicles on the streets.
IN THE CITY.
We have had conventions of several
churches, which have brought visitors as
clerical and l-ay delegates from all parts of
the country. First the Baptist Convention
of the South, with a host of learned men
and polished orators, and self-denying mis
sionaries of the Gospel, ready and willing
to do the work of their Master and aid in the
extension of His Kingdom on earth. Just
after their adjournment the Protestant Epis
copal Convention of the Diocese of this State,
commenced its annual session, on the 13th
instant. But the preceding day-Wednesday,
12th instant-was observed in commemnora
tion of the planting of the Episcopal Church
from the Mother Church of England, in the
Province of Carolina, two centuries ago.
The services were held at St. Philip's Church,
and were solemn and impressive, the music
rendered by the sweet tones of the fine organ,
brought forth by its accomplished player,
Mr. Ruddock, assisted by the Post Band and
at least forty trained singers, ladies and gen
tleen, was grand, and was enjoyed by the
appreciative and delighted audience within
the densely packed walls of the beautiful
church.
A procession was formed at the Sunday
School House composdd of the vestries of
the city churches and the delegates of all the
churches, headed by the Bishop and Clergy
in their robes, preceded by the choir boys of
the Church of the Holy Communion, thirty
or forty in number, surpliced, the ranks of
the lay delegates then opened, and when the
choir and clergy passed through, the proces
sion countermarched, and when the advance
rached the vestibule of the church the strain
was taken up by the organ and choir of the
church and continued through the hymn un
til the clergy were seated in the chancel and
the rest distributed in the pews reserved for
them. After the services the Bishop deliv
ered (any production from his must be) a
scholarly address, replete with sentimn ents of
charity and Christian feeling towards all
denominations and tendering the hand of
cordiality and sympathy to all the followers
of the meek and lowly Jesas. After an
intrval,to permit those who did not purpose
to partake, the Communion was administered
-to the very large number of those who yet
remained, after which, with the benediction,
the vast concourse was dismissed.
On the next evening at the same church,
and in continuation of the Anniversary ex
ercises, an historical .address on the church
was delivered by Mr. J. I. P. Smith, evincing
refined scholarship and industrious historical
research.
The first two days of the session of the
Convention were taken up with the discus
sion of the question on the admission to the
Convention of the delegates from St. Mark's
Church, under the Rectorship of Rev. J. B.
Seabrook. This is a congregation of most
respectable colored persons, who were always
esteemed by the high-toned citizens of Charles
ton, many of whom represent the most in
telligent and wealthy of that class. After a
long discussion, a resolution offered by Mr.
E. MCrady, Sr., was passed, referring the
whole matter to a Commission of Seven, to
report to the nexct Convention. The Con
vention adljourned on Saturday evening.
I noticed in the church our genial and
popular friend, Capt. N. B. M., and hoped to
see your late partner Mr. R. H1. G., but I
believe he did not attend.
On Tuesday afternoon (18th) the Anniver
sary of the Sunday School was held at
Church IIoly Communion. Several addresses
were delivered, the music by the organ and
the boys of the choir was finely rendered,
and the very large and full audience much
pleased and gratified. KAPPA.

FELLOW-CITIZENS: I rise to offer to
you and this assemblage the cordial re
sponse of the people of South Carolina to
the seutiment which has just been an
nounced, and to all the fearless memo
ries, the high inspirations and the ex
alting hopes which this occasion com
mnieorates and suggests. I know full
well that I speak to-day for South
Carolina chiefly because it is my for
tune to be her official representative.
Older, abler, better voices than mine
wili, I cannot doubt, speak for her
voices of those who have sprung from
this soil, who know as household
words the traditions of the Carolinas,
who will represent more adequately
than I can hope to do, the genus loci
which has inspired, which still inspires,
and which I know will continue to in
spire, and direct the eager, zealous, fer
vid and constant patriotism of the men
of Mecklenburg and Carolina. But
what heart, if it be an American heart,
whether it spring to life beneath
these sunny skies, or where nature
presents herself in more rugged and
repellant forms; what heart, touched
with one spark of the divine flame of
love of country, does not bound and
swell to greet and welcome this day
and this occasion ?
If Marathon and Plataca, after 2,
000 years, still speak the lesson of de
voted and valorous patriotism; if Run
nymede, after six centuries, is still a
name for English patriots to conjure
by; if Marston Moor, though the
heather and the daisy have cov
ered the last traces of the shock
and carnage of her battle for more
than 200 years, is still marked by re
verent pilgrims as the spot where the
long night of kingly prerogative was
ended by the gray dawn of the new
and glorious day of the people's rights;
with what measure of gratitude to
God, of honor to our ancestors, of pa
t r i o t i c gratulation and gladness,
should we, Americans, Carolinians,
greet this spot, where, as we firmly
and advisedly believe, only 100 years
ago, the first formal utterance, of the
great idea of American independence
was heard.
To a man who believes in human
progress, to one who sees and rever
ences the divine hand in human af
fairs-I care not in what section or
country his sympathies may have been
nurtured-the deed done in Charlotte
town, in Mecklenburg County, May20,
1775, will stand at once as a monu
ment and an inspiration, a trophy and a
prophecy, of the sure and pre-ordained
coming of the day when the feeble light
which~flamed forth here a hundred
years ago, shall fill the whole world.
The Declaration of Mecklenburg !
It was but a spoken word-an' artica
ated breath of this universal air
yet it was a deed, a battle, a victory
No cannon thundered it ; ro tclegraph
flashed it; yet it was "heard round
the world."
'That death-shot shook the feudal tower,
And shattered slavery's chain as well;
On the sky's dome, as on a bell,
It's echo struck the world's great hour."
The men of Mecklenburg! They
were the plain farmers, physicians,
lawyers and ministers of this seclude~d
canton, unambitious of fame, seeking
nothing but their accustomed rights,
the moral as well as lineal children of
John Knox, resolute before men as
they were reverent before God. Col.
Thomas Polk, a heart as pure and
brave as Richard Coeur de Lion, Doe
tor Ephrainr Brevard, the gentle
scholar and physician, the flame of
whose devotion of liberty never flick
ered till it was quenched by the
damps of a British prison-ship fiv
years later-these, and such as th'ey
were, the men who alone, self-inspired,
in advance of all others, at the time
when Thomas Jefferson was writing to
John Randolph, "I would rather be in
dependence on Great Britian, properly
limited, than on any nation on earth,
or than on no nation," sounded the
first signal-note of absolute revolt and
idependence. We tear no leaf to.
day from the brow of any Revolution.
ary patriot, who elsewhere by pen 0o
sword, upheld the same great cause.
We seek only with the jealousy of fil
ial reverence and love to guard the
fame, to honor the memory, to proclaim
the early abounding and impetuous
patriotism of the men of Mecklenburg.
A few simple virtues constitute the
sum and perfection of human great
ness. Simplicity of character, single
ness of aim, consistency of purpose,
"readiness to do or dare whatsoever is
commanded by the inward voice of
native manhood"-such qualities in
due combination have made the true
heroes of all ages. Of such stuff the
heroes of Mecklenburg were made. I
do not for a moment conjecture that
they foresaw the vast consequences of
their acts here 100 years ago. The
gift of prophecy was long since with
drawn from mortal man. These men
caught no glimpse, I venture to say,
of the America of thirty-seven States,
of 40,000,000 of people, .stretching
from ocean to ocean, covering every
sea with her commerce, and reaching
every land with her influences. They
loved their homes and their families;
they valued their home-born rights
and privileges, the dear gifts of honor
ed sires ; they reverenced the grand
structure of English law:
"A land of settled government, -
A land ofjust and old renown;
Where freedom slowly broadens down,
From precedent to precedent."
These were their heritage, their
wealth, their life. For these they
were ready to live or die. And so
they became heroes.
Napoleon has been thought to have
uttered a great word when, standing
within the shadows of the pyramids,
be exclaimed : "Soldiers, from yonder
beights forty centuries contemplate
you~r actions." Vain and empty
words ! The pyramids themselves
were but the visible monuments of a
slavery blacker than Egyptian dark
aess, and the voice which spoke from
them was but a voice that mocked the
anhalowed ambition of him who in
roked it. The grand army long since
was swept away, the fiery ambition of
~he great conquerer was quenched in
gnoble bondage, and the last repre
enaieothdyat which he de
botrnty, the grace and the glory of en
lightened freedom.
The declaration here made was a
single isolated act-the act of the re
presentatives of - the people of one
County. But the spirit of indepen
dence was in the air. A year and for
ty-five days later the declaration of
Mecklenburg was the declaration of
the United States of America. From
that hout, the men of Mecklenburg
made common cause with all Ameri
cans in the struggle which followed.
Mecklenburg was thenceforth merged
in the struggling, rising nation. With
in a radius of forty miles from this
centre, a score of fields were wet with
blood which was the price of American
independence. It is a proud record.
Let its voice be heard to-day above
the estrangements of later times;
above the differences which, in other
days, may still divide us. The decla
ration of Mecklenburg was the quick
response of this people to the firs.
shedding of blood at Lexington. I
stood the other day on the field of
Lexington, amidst the wealth, the cul
ture, the abounding population of
Massachusetts, and I listened with
proud and willing heart to the cordial,
heartfelt words of cheer and sym
pathy for the Carolinians and the
South, which formed one of the most
significant features of the great occa
sion. I thought I saw the fraternal
feeling which will surely flow over
the whole American people, making
the men of Lexington and the men of
Mecklenburg enemies no more, and
rivals only, as of old, in the promp,i
tude and constancy of their devotion
to American freedom and nationality.
Let a like voice be heard to-day. The
ear of Lexington is bent low to catch
the welcome sound. Let it go forth
-the voice of Mecklenburg-proclaim
ing the new Union more.glorious even
than the old, because tested by harder
trials, planted on deeper foundations
and springing from a broader faith in
the immortal principles of American
freedom.
South Carolina bids me speak to
day her gratitude and reverence for
the [men of Mecklenburg of 1775
her fraternal feelings towar,l all who
are assembled here, and her intense
sympathy with the memories which
lie behind us, and the hopes which
stretch before us.

Obituary.
Mrs. SALLIE MCCRACKEN, wife of L. C.
McCracken, and daughter of Joseph and
Eliza Heller, died at her home in Union
Coun ty,on the 17th of May, 1875, in the 35th
year of her age. The disease that terminated
her existence was protracted and painful.
Her death was one of uncommon resignation
and Christian triumph. She leaves behind her
a warm-hearted husband and three helpless
little ones, and a large circle of relations and
friends to mourn her loss, but methinks if
she could whisper from her bright home in
Glory, she would say, "Weep not for me,
but weep for yourselves and my children."
