INh1o-mYN, May 4.-Dr. Talmage
took for his subject today the character
of Daniel and drew from it lessons of
sound practical valic for the youn
men, of whom so large a number are al
ways to be seen amonz the most cater
and attentivo listeners in the Ta bernacle
congregations. His text was Dniel vi,
2, "Dauiel was tirst."
Where in romance can you tlld any
thing equal to what Daniel was in reali
tj? A young man, far away from home,
imtrodueed into the most magniticeit
and mot dissliute palace ot all tIv
earth. The king, wishin-4 to make this
young man a prodigy in personal appear
atice, orders hi4 attendants to see that.
he has plenty of meat and wine, and
Danel refuses these delicacies and in
fists on a vegetable diet, refusinr everv
thing but pulse anld water, waving back
ill the rich viands wit i determined
"No; I thank you." lIe surpasses all
the princes in brilhiancy. As this sull
rises higher and higher in the firm men I,
it puts out all the stars, :md it there is
an1ything the stars hate it is tile Sill.
Danie1 becoeics so inn1kh (ot a fivore
with King Darius that our unlig hero i
promoted to be prime milnister or Se -(,,

A CHARGE AND ANSWER.
'oucerning the Democrtcy of State
Recretarv Tindal.
SUMTEI, S. C., May 6.-A short time
ince the following was published iu
,he Southern and Watchman: The
'olumbia Register of April 26th con
ains the speech whilch Secretary of
5tate James E. Tindal, made at Edge
leld on April 23d. From this speech
Ye quote the following.
" We not only did not desert our lead
rs after the war, but we did not desert
he Democratic party in the darkest
kour of its existence and the gloomiest
,ears of our lives. Neither poverty,
mmiliation, bribe, nor temptations
ould seduce us from that'party because,
ve believea in local self-government.
oome of our lead%rs deserted, but not
he people."
From this we would be led to believe,
f we did not know better, that the hon
rable gentleman had always been the
ruest and most devoted Democrat. It
ounds very nice and no doubt serves
he purpose as well as anything else. It
s good Democratic doctrine, but com
ng from the source it does, it appears
o lack the true ring of the genuine
netal.
Having heard during the campaign of
890 that, the record of James E. Tindal
s'a Democrat was not as brignt as it
hould be, we immediately upon seeing
his speech set about investig iting the
umors previously heard.
The following extract from a letter
eeived from a gentleman in Manning
xplains itself and deflines James E.
'indal's Democracy:
''What you have heard of Secretary
indal's quondam Radical proclivities
strictly true; also the fact that for a
)ng while he was discarded by some of
i-i nearest relatives; and I feel assured
iat the opinions of a portion of them
L-main the same. By nearly every
ood and intelligent person he was held
i sovereign contempt. When E. V.
I. Mackey was "billed" for his Claren
.on crusade, Mr. Tindal put himself
ar out of the way to give him aid and
omfort; and enteitained him at his own
ousie."
These facts are publisheit as informa
ion. If Secretary Tindal can disprove
hem. th-t uolumnns of thia paper are
pei to him.
Ni. TINDAL'S ANSwER.
Th1 following is what Mr. Tindal has
o say in reply to the above:
"1'he Watchman and Southron has
ublished a statement, without cause or
istice, which reflects, or is intended to
ellect, upon me. If it were only for
elc people of Clarendon I should not
otice it, Wit as it is copied by other
apers, and it may be some time before
catl appear publicly before the people
f Clarendon, it is due to my friends. I
ever throw mud, nor do I like to notice
very little evil thing thrown at me.
"I have vottd every Democratic
eket since I became of age. I was a
iember of every convention of white
eople held in my County; was sent to
,ie taxpayers' convention and every
ther convention of white peopledur.
ig Itadical rule; was president of one
f the best and first Democratic clubs
i my County; was master of one of the
rst.(xrange of my County; was elect
I lecturer f the State Grange, and to
ie Legislature in 1890 and several
rms subsequently; and never attended
Rtadical club or convention or had
ny understanding or connection with
ie ltadical party in my life. 'This is
il matter of such public knowledge as
need no coinment.
"Jumst after the war, while our ownl
eop.le still had control and we were
onsidering what was best to do, 1 op
osedi the negro code, and at a public
lteetinmg of our people at Manning I
id:
"'Grant will be elected President as
ire as he lives, just as L"e, it a candi
ate, would be IPresidlent of the South
in1 Con federacy if it had established its
idependence. Tihcrefore the wisest
aing~ for us to do is to give the negro
Lialilledi suffrage while we may, or
mniersal sulfrage will be forced upon
3.' Thatlspeech made me very unpop
lar for the time, because the idea of
lowinur a negro to vote at all was so
stasteful at the time. But in a year
ranat was elected arid finally came uni
3rsal suffrage. I did not desert the
tople; when they would not go with
e, I went with them. I also opposed
te Greeley movement, but went along
itti it. I never failed to express my
ews, whether poptular or unpopular,
Id believe still that my judgement was
ght. As to my nearest relatives dis
ruing me on that account, It Is pre
terous. TLhey regretted lay speech
~cautse they thought it unwise to ex
ess what some of them believed as
rongly as 1 did.
-'As to giving a night's lodging to
ackey, I did, and would do it, again
Ider the circumstances, and would do
even to this enemy of mine, who
ould do me harm without provocation.
iir County then had no0 railroads or
>tels, andl I was brought up and sur
minded( all amy life with people who be
eyed it to be a Christian duty to enter
Lini strangeis, to give to hospitality, to
yve food and shelter even to one's
lemoy. Hlut so far from having any
impllathy with him, i, with only twen
siive of our people to back me, among
horm was my friend, Mr. IIenry
hiomas, attacked arid opposed him at
iberty l11ll, in the presence of, more
ian a thousand of his excited follow
-s, w ithout regard to thme risk or conmse
uenices. T1hiese are i-im pie facts."

CIHAILLESTON, S. C., Feb. 12. 1891.
UENTLEMEN' I have been using t.b
Electropoise for rheumatic painj
which, at times, went through m
whole body, causing great sufforing
my limbs were ahto quite titiff, do tha
I could scarcely walk. I have beei
greatly benefitted, and am well please,
with the Electropoise. I also suffere
with constipation and indigestioi
which have entirely disappeared, an.
have gained in weight about lifteei
pounds.
I have also used the instrulnent il
my tamily for various complaints witl
excellent results. On one occasion In
son had a very bad sore on one of hi
hands, which caused his hand and aru
to swell up to his shoulder. Two hour
application of the Electropoiso remov
ed all inflammation and swelling, an
in a few hours he was well.
My little girl was also cured by th
Electropoise of a very bad cold an
cough in few hours.
I would not be without the Electro
poise and gladly recommend it to a]
sick persons. Yours truly,
