Tho demoralization of society omi tito cor ruptions of tho people uro subjects of such general comment that ono might conclude thc present generation was tho originator of n ara and strifes, murders, rapes, arsons and nil kinds of crimo and sin. While Micro is great room for improvement, n reflecting mind must admit the present ago would lose nothing by a comparison in morality with other ages and nntions. ileforo thc Christian ora wara were of every day occurrcnco and tho most heinous crimes wcro perpetrated in thc nomo of patriotism. At Rome tho Tem plo of Janus was closed hut onco in n period of seven or eight hundred years, showing thero was for that period only a short cessa tion of wars. At vari ru periods in her history leaders would riso up and getting control of tho army would delugo hor streets willi tho blood of her host citizons. The independent States of Grcoco were constantly at war with each other or with foreign powers, and thoy gonorally rewarded thc just, thc upright, who by thoir counsels or their leadership, saved their country, nilli doath or ostracism, lt was said of Aristides that n citizen of Athens, not knowing him, usked him to writo a ballot for his banish ment. When asked what harm Aristides had done him, ho replied none; ho did not know him; but ho was tired of hearing him culled tho just. In other less enlightened countries human lifo was not valued and wars and strifes wcro constant. For throe hundred years after tho Chris tian era paganism invented and perpetrated tho most refined cruelties on tho Christians. It was often lawful to kill them whorovcr found, and they wcro subjected to tho tor tures of tho rack, burned alivo, or thrown into tito amphitheatre to bo torn to pieces by wild beasts to gratify tho vitiated tasto of a corrupt and degenerate people. Then fol lowed for centuries what is known as the .Dark Agos, when nil light and knowledge wcro cut off from thc people and wars, strifes and barbarities of all kinds prevailed. Tho Crusades engaged tho wholo Christina world in a fruitless stiito with tho Sarncons for the Holy City and led to tho sacrifico of hundreds of thousands of H vos, but oven out of this evil Providence worked good, for tho Oriu sades doubtless lcd to tho reformation and thc opening ont of tho fountains of knowledge hy tho mixturo and interchango of ideas botweon nations and people who hud never econ nor heard of each other. Thc massacre of St. ?firtbolomOW and tho modern Inquisi. tion, established by Ferdinand and Isabella, nod which continued in Spain until 1820, a period of nearly thrco hundred years, aro not ovidonccs of moral progress, but rather of ignorance and misguided zeal. If wo look to tho carly settlement of this country we will peo it written in blood, and even nineo Oir indopondenco statesman and patriots, Uko Hamilton, Jackson, Clay, Randolph and Otliern, not only approved of tho code, but f jught duols, and from tho days of Knight errantry to within a few years public opinion mid tho Press, if they hnvo not favored, have not denounced tho practice. This generation is not 60 wicked ont! sinful as somo would hnvo us believe, ,>hen com pared with provious generations. It is truo sin and crimo abound in tho land and Hiero is great room for improvement; but they nppoar grouter comparatively for sovornl reasons. Tho Pross, thc great disseminator of tho nows, is now n fixture in nearly every county of tho United States, \. ilo fifty yeors ngo it was limited to largo arens, and there is now moro activity in getting up nows than forniorly. For m orly, before tho invontion of tolegrnphy and tho building of railroads and steamships, nows was local, while now a Now York daily and oven a country weekly ?mlainfl now? from <wory part of thc civilized world, so that ovory mordor, suicide or othor crime- and every violent death, whether ncoi dcntal, intentional or providential, oro scat tered beforo tho peopl'o in n few hours. Again our population in a hundred years has increased from four or fivo millions to fifty or sixty millions. How natural then that with such facilities for spreading nows nnd with so ch n population cri mo should havo increased, though it mny havo, and wo think it has, relatively deorcascd. What is tho rotativo valu? of moral forcos now and formerly? Tho pulpit bas for cen turies boon n great moral lover, hut no ono will dony but it has boon weak in numbors, education and officioney, or but it has annu ally increased in all these elements of strength and is still increasing. Tho Religious Proas has boon for years a great fuotor in morulity and progress, but it, too, is annually widen ing und deepening its influence for good. Sunday Schools for two generations bnvo boon moulding tho youthful mind in tbo path of Christian roctitudo, but what a wondorful progress hnvo they mado in tho last twenty ycnrsl Tempor?neo societies have risen and fallon, havo douo somo good, but to-day they aro stronger and firmer founded than ever before. Wo havo then to-day nil tho moral forces that oxistod in thc past in a bolter and strongor condition than formerly. As to these their influence has always been limited and will ever bo so. Tho pulpit roaches but a fraction of tho pooplo, who voluntarily put themselves under its presence. Tho Religious Press, Sunday Schools and tempor?neo societies oro still moro restricted in their influence and extent and aro confined to church mombors generally. They can rarely reach or inllucnco the great mass of tho world, and boneo cnn never fashion or direct public opinion, tho unappcalublo dictator over men's actions and conduct. Tho great and irresistible moral power in tho land io the Secular Press. Nothing can supply its place and ull othor agencies com bined cannot equal it in influence. Tho Religious Press is not only limited in circus Indian, bu', its views uro n reflex of tho tenets of Christianity, willoh, wo arc sorry to admit, aro not of much forco in tho social regulations of tho world nt large. Tho Secular Press, on tho oilier band, finds its wny into every class and condition of lifo. It bas become a ne cessity to every active citizen, bo bo deist 11 atheist, tkeptio or infidel, sinner or Christian, Intermingled with current news on politics com m oreo, agriculture and other current l mies, editorials and miscellaneous selection! upon temperance, education nnd morality fill its columns and have their influence. In this way it is tho lathe in which publit opi ion is fashioned and shaped and when wo consider that mon in their every daj conduct are controlled more by public opinion than by their innato convictions of right, wt cnn at onco perceive tho wonderful influcnot for good wielded by tho Secular Press. Ii reaches Focicty at largo and moulds ont directs ita rules and regulations. Within tin memory of many of our citizens, to fight 1 duel WttS tho shortest road to socinl recogni tion ns well as lo power and influence, whih tho recent duel in our Stnto bas called ford a general expression of censure all over tin State and a demand that tho law should bl enforced. Wc bclicvo that nineteen out 0 every twenty citizens of tho State would lu day pronounce duelling in tho abstract bar barous, un-Christian and criminal, nnc would sustain any man who refused to fight Look nt thc wt r against whiskoy and seo ti what estent thc Scculur Press has controller oublie opinion. For years it lay dorman! md witnessed tho riso and growth of these ?vils without a word of ccnsuie, but now tba hoy have become 60 great, this powcrfu mgino is hoing directed to their suppression Dur people can remember wbon whiskey wai mind at every muster ground and whci feating was the only way to office. This hat passed away by tho influence of both lega ind moral suasion. Tho war against carry ing concealed weapons lins also been tnkei jp by tho Secular Press, and while tho Le ?nslaturo refused to pass a statuto on th subject, nearly or quito half tho incorporntci towns of tho State havo adopted ordinance making it penal to carry them within tbci .imits. Tho moral influence of tho Pres with tim action thus taken by towns wi) likely lead to a restrictivo law on thc subjee by tho next Legislature. Tho PrcsB is also through public opinion potent factor in bringing about tho obscrv anco und enforcement of law. No law will I enforced unless sustained by public opiniot but would stand on tho statute booka a den letter. Such lins been tho caso with tho Ia against duelling in the past, and nlso tho n of 1873, regulating the'salo of liquor. Th statute is very stringent, but it has nev boon observed or enforced. It may in ll futuro under tho great chango of publ feeling on tho subject. Thc Press, by roos' of its power, bas a heavy responsibility res ing on it. In tho past it has not fulfilled i wholeduty.bnt it is now marching into lineal unifying its influence in tho channel of In and order, In a fow years wo trust th ovila and crimes of all kinds will bo great lessened through thc medium of thc Press a that tho growing tendency in every ? direction will bo checked and diverted ir other channels. In tho Court of Common Pleas at Grce ville tho caso of Edward F, Stokes ngnii ex-Mayor Mauldin for throe hundred tlx sand dollars damages for assault and batte in striking tho plaintiff with his fist or or hand, rosulted in thc jury rendering a vertl for tho plaintiff for ono hundred dolls Notico of a motion for a now trial was mt on tho part of thc plaintiff.

OMI,n tiri u.li |lvf M.iX?'.rlB' 2 IlIIIIIIMIIilllllllIllillll MU Lifo of Rev. Thomas Dawson. Diod, at Pendleton, S. C.,on Tuesday, June 20th. 1880, at 0 o'olock A. M., Hov. Thomas Dawson, aged 90 years, 8 months and 25 days. Thomas Dawson, son of Joseph and Eliza Dawson, was born on tho 4th day of March, A. D. 1700, at Lymo, Regis, Dorset County, Eng land1. At tho age of eight years ho was sont to school at Wellington, whero ho staid tinco years, and then to Mr. Paul in Castlo Cary, j Aftor leaving OMS school ho was apprenticed to his grandfather and undo, who woro linen j drapers in Maidstone, Kent. His grandfather aud father wore "Freedmen," a distinction in j England entitling thom to volo at elections; aud his object in being apprenticed was to attain that privllcgo for himself; bat his grandfather dying before (ho expiration of tho apprentice ship, ho did not ncquiro tho right. Ho then, nt tho ngo of eighteen, went to London and 8v. asa clerk ia alargo dry goods store for throe years, then wout into business on his own accouut as a dry goods merchant, but was unsuccessful.- So, failing in this, ho entered tho British army, Fourth Regi ment of Foot, and was a Lieutenant nt the time of the batllo of Waterloo, but wns not cugngod in tli ut battle, having been detailed as a recruit ing elli ocr in England. Alter this battlo tho British army was ro duccd and Lieutenant Dawson wns placed on (ho retired li.it al half pny, which pay ho continued to receive for a considerable. Inno after ho came lo America. On leaving Ibo nrmy ho returned to London in order to learn tho Lancnslcriun system of tenching, nflor acquiring which ho went to Boston, England, and taught school. Whilst (hero ho mado application to William Lodgo, A. F. M., to bc inndc a Mason; but having decided lo como to America, and tho vessel ou which he lind engaged bis passage being ready to sail, his application wns never acted upon. Ho Railed from Liverpool carty in tho year 1818 and arrived in New York, whence he went to Philadelphia nnd thence to Qeorgelown, Dis trict of Columbia, nt which place Ibero was being bold a Iri-cnnial convention of Baptists, and bc was, with tho Rev. Humphrey Posey, appointed by that contention lo teach the Indians in Western North Carolina, which ap pointment was with tho sanction of Janies Monroe, (hen President of (ho United Slates. Mr. Dawson arrived on Iliwassee River in February,1810, and was engaged in teaching thc Chorokco nnd Creek Indians for thrco or four years. Hero he was married to Mis3 Mary Lewis, of New Jersey, who wns nlso a teacher, and whom ho had previously met in Philadel phia. In 1823 ho left Iliwassee, moved to Pendleton District in South Carolina and settled on Fuller's Creek, now in Oconce County, and near Perkin's Creek Baptist Church. Ho was ordained a minister in 1824 and preached not only nt Perkin's Creek Church, but nil through the mountainous paris of Pendleton District. He afterwards bought a plantation on Marlin's Creek, now known no tho Harper's tanyard placo. Whilst residing hcrchc attached himself to Shiloh Church and then to tho Pendleton Baptist Church, at which latter pince his mem bership remained to his death, From Marlin's Creek ho removed to Barnwell District and preached most of (bc limo ns a missionary in Barnwell, Collet on, Sumter nut! thc upper portion of Charleston District. Whilst residing in Barnwell ho mndo appli cation to Egeria Lodgo, No. 71, A. F. M., nt Ridgcvillc, and die degrees of symbolic masonry were conferred on him by Hint Lodge. He wns mado a Royal Arch Mason by Union Chapter, No. 2, in Charleston, nnd had thc Council de crees conferred on him by A. O. Mackey in Drangcburg. Mr. Dawson was subsequently employed by the Charleston Association to preach to thc lcgvocs on Edisto Island, where he remained intil thc Oonfcdornlo war bioko out, when he ?vas compelled to leave nnd removed to George's Station on tho South Carolina Railroad, where io remained ono yenr und thence went to Drangcburg. At thc close of tho war bc removed lo Pcn lldon villago and uflilinlcd willi Pendleton [iodgc, No. 84, A. F. M., April 13(11, 1807. His funeral services were conducted by tho [lev. Mr. Hullo, of thc M. B. Church, at tho Pendleton Baptist Church, on ibo 30th of June, 1880. After thc services in thc church he was juried by Pendleton Lodge, No. 34, A. F. M., ind assisting brethren, with thc usual Masonic loners. W. ll. ft. GAILLARD. Qualifications of Public Officers. SOUTH UNTON, S. C., July 17, 1880. Messrs. Editors: At titi? time, when thc County is entering on the discussion of thc merits of thc different candidates prepara tory to voting, I would beg to submit a thought or two. In tho first placo, it scorns that many consider agc aa' nn indispensable requisite to thc proper dischorgo of tho duties of public office. This may o?iso from tho no tion that ngo nnd wisdom go together. Wisdom is tho fruit of experience. Hut there is a clear distinction lo bc mado be tween ngo and experience. True, they commonly go together; and, other things being equal, that man lins most experience who bus lived longest. But it is very pos sible for a young man, ou whose brow not twenty springs bovo budded, to bo fur richer in experience than o mnn on whoso lochs hnvc fallen tho frost3of sixty winters. Hy means of books, coupled with study and reflection, wo moy assimilate to our selves in a very short tiiuo tho thoughts which tho wisc and great wcro years in glenning. Indeed, it is frequently only nn apparent paradox to say, "An old hoad on young shoulders." Assisted by books, which contain the wisdom and experienoe of thoBO who havo gono beforo us, wo may grow old fast in all tbut constitutes truo wisdom. Besides, there is a vigor and energy in young mon that abates os they grow old. Let us, therefore, bo oarcful how wo set asido n mun morely bocauso bo is young in years. Again, if a man has boen so unfortunate as to loso on arm or a leg, many scorn to think that on this nooount tlioy should voto fot him. lint misfortune is not a claim to office If tho man bas boon disabled in tho .service of his country then let bia country provide for him; let it trout him os ?MJuaaJJ.-.HllnJ.r.CTfevi^n ?;?lbcwi I I ll ?IM ?.?WI. mir^VW*fMWT^ I tho voters of tho County not think that tho salaries of our publio oflioos aro a gratuity to thoso who aro uuablo to tako euro of themselves and uoftt to discharge- tho du ties of tho offico. But if tho competency of suoh n man to fill tho ofiico bo os groat as any of his opponents, then givo it to him by all moans. Ile deserves it Thceo salaries, however, aro not a charity. It would bo bettor policy and bettor economy to provide for tho disabled by a spooial ch ai i ty than to put them into our publio offices-tho disa'.lod, I mean, A8 SUCH. Again, tho question greets us on every sido, "What olairos has ho ou tho county?" Why my dear, sir, if tho man has ability aud honesty and wants the office, what moro need tho county ask? Scores of sub ordinate questions may bo asked-questions which como in for their infiuonco when tho candidates aro matched in more important ones-but it occurs to mo that tho first and prime question to bo asked is, whether tho mun is competent? Will ho fill it honestly? Is ho a mao of energy? And will ho work for tho public? Answer these questions in the affirmative, and wo havo a jnun fit to bo invested with tho duties of offioe. A LT ii EUS. Fair Play Correspondence. Messrs Editors'. Wo are all feeling belter sinoo wc hnvo hud such good TMUB. livery thing hus beau very much revived and tho crops ure growing finely, especially is this tho cuse willi ootton, which ?3 lookiug rei markubly well. It looks green and healthy and it is covered with fruit. A better cot ton crop will be mndo in this community, judging from present indications, than hus been mudo in pome time. Mci-srs. Wm. Pullen and Wm. Whitfield and Kev. II M. 13arton have the brag collou. lt certainly looks fine. Our farmers have every reason to be hopeful. Corn is not looking as well as it should. Corn that was planted carly seems not bo doing so well, while thc late planting is coining out wonderfully. Thc wheat crop may bo put down ns a failure. Tho yield will hardly average a third of a crop. It will not do for seed, and it makes very bad flour. Wc hnvo been enjoying ourselves with pie nies and Binging conventions lately. The singing convention which couvoned at South Union on Friday, tho 9th instant, was quito a success. It lasted three days. On Sunday there was quito a crowd in at tendance. Col. ll. E. Mason, of our little burg, was elected President of the Conven tion. Tho pio nie was just below here nt Mr. Wm. Pullen'?. Wm. P. Calhoun, Esq., spoke in thc morning and Maj. E. B. Mulray in tho afternoon. A good crowd was present and all seemed to enjoy them selves very much. 1 novcr saw a more quiet, or orderly crowd, than was assembled on this occasion. Now and then tho railroad question springs up, and wc all have something to say nbont it. lt is probnblo that a charter for tho Fair Play ood Westminster Railroad will bo applied for next full and no doubt ere long we will hero tho sound of thc whistle and tho noise of thc train approach ing our little burg. Thc building of thie rood has become a necessity, and wc roust have it. Tho younger pupils of thc Fair Play High School havo caught tho infection from tho inhabitants of our town, and they aro busily CDgagrd every day during play time, showing their skill at croquet. Thif school opened Monday, thc 5th instant, with a good number of pupils and thc cry ii "still they come." Tho ..ohool will soon b.t full again. There is some talk of having t big pio nie herc about thc 1st of September Should it bc determined to have ono, I wil give you the particulars as carly n& possible Fair Pluy is always abreast of tho timci and sho is tho Eden of Oconco.
