Unless this Congress d^e* something pretty soon the coming presidential cam paign will be one of excuses all round. The grand jury of Edgefield County, in its general presentmeat, called attention to a shortage in the County. Treasurer1! acoounts of something ov*?r $3,000. ??The. State levy for taxes is 4J mills. That will not pay out unless the dispen sary comes in with about $200,000 during the year. Treasurer Bates thinks the dispensary Is making no money for the State. ' I ?? The metric system has' been favorably reported by the committee on weights and measures. The bill before Congress provides for the Government to adopi this system in 1698 and for it to go into general use among the people in 1901. The Charleston Post thinks it is rea sonably certain that no member of the present South Carolina House of Repre sentatives will ever refer to his member ship hereafter. It will go down in his tory as the most absurd-body of legisla ..tgtfrimat ever convened, in this State. Prominent Democratic newspapers in the New England States have formally announced the candidacy of Secretary ot Sta's Olney for President on the Demo cratic national ticket, and it is stated that be will have a solid delegation from New England pushing bis name at the Chicago ^convention. In silverite lingo, when a business man says he is In favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 toi be Is a big hearted patriot as well as a finan cial genius ; when be says be Is opposed to that policy be is a Shy lock and a rob ber of the poor people. Arguments or this sort are calculated to bave a tremen dous effect upon intelligent people. The Sooth Caroliua room in the Con federate Museum at Richmond is want ing contributions in relics, and the State ought to heed the appeal that is made. There are many persons living who have It in their cower now to contribute to this laudable work, and in doing so tbe State's department will make an attrac ?70 display by the time of the great r? union in Rlcbmood next June. It is charged that tbe friends of William McKinley bave already spent $100,000 iu tbe effort to secure for him the Republi can nomination lor the presidency, and that they bave requested the iron and steei manufacturers of, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illlnolls to contribute at once toward a fund oJ' $250,000 to be used in States where thu action of Republican convections in reference to candidates hr doubtful. Reports received by tbe Southern In dustrial Association of Alabamaare that thousands of farmers in Northwestern States are preparing to move Sou to ward with tbe first indication of spring. Ic is claimed that 500 agents from various parts of the South bave already gone to tbe North for tbe purpose of induotcg horneseekera to locate in tbe sections ot tbe country which they represent and an exodus is promised which which will ex ceed anything hitherto known in tbe United States. ii?outh Carolina should offer some inducements to tbeee home seekers and get them to locate in onr midst. We have room for them, and will gladly welcome them. Among tbe resolutions adopted by tbe American Cottoa Growers Protective Association is the following: "We in vite tbe attention of tbe planters and far mers of the Sou h, to the great impor tance of adopting improved methods iu handling ths cotton crop, so that it may be placed in the markets of the world to tbe best advantage. And, in this* con nection, we call attention to a possible g in ocean and other freight rates, by tbe adoption of a standard bale of cotton. 28 inches wide, by 58 inches long, and it is tbe opinion of this association that all press boxes throughout tbe country be made to conform to this size." Tbe change of the press box will c<?t only a few dollars, and will increase tbe value of the cotton at least fifty cents per bale. _ __ It will surprise many people to know that tbe per capita value of the agricul tural products of tbe South is greater than that of any other part of the coun try. Tbe Federal Bureau of Statistics bas recently completed reports for tbe year 1894 which show that tbe twelve leading crops of tbe South for that yf-ar were worth $737,408143, while tbe twelve most important crops lu all tbe rest of! tbe country combined were worth only $1,100965,674. Tbe per capita value of these crops was $33 for the South and only $29 for tbe rest of the country. Cot ton is considered tbe leading Southern product, bot tbe corn crop of tbe South is more valuable. Our cotton crop of 1894 was worth $250,0 0,000 but our core crop was worth $.90,014,975 and all tbe corn grown in ail tbe rest of the country was worth only $264,704,181* The South raised nearly $20,000,000 worth ul tobacco against $7,765,360 worth in tbe rest of tbe cocntry. Our sugar crop was worth $15, 000,000 and our rice $2,500,000 i> ? - Senator Irby, as Chairman of the State Democratic Executive Committee, has ' issued a call for a meeting of tbe Com mittee to prepare for the Convention to send delegates to'the National Democratic Convention. He favora sending delegates to that Convention who will pledge themselves to abide its results, and right here tbe tog. of war will commence. Senator Tillman bas again expressed himself as in favor of sending delegates to tbe Convention who shall bolt iu tbe event that a candidate and platform are not agreed upon in accordance with their tastes. Chairman Irby's position is tbe correct one, and tbe question is who will sr- bave tbe greater influence in tbe State Convection, be or Tillman ? It is a mat ter that the Reformers will have to decide for themselves, and after their decision is made, tbe Conservatives will know bow to act. We know tbe Conservatives are true Democrats, and we believe there are a large number of true Democrats in tbe ranks of tbe Reformers, who will abide tbe acts of tbe National Democracy and work for Its success. A State Conven tion who, it Is kaown, will bolt if they are not pleased with its action, is not a Democratic organization and will not be recognized as such. ? m - ? This is tbe centennial year of tbe Democratic party. The party came into existence- as a national organization in 1796. It was founded by Thomas Jeffer son, who was tbe cHiidldate of tbe party for President in that ye-r. J'ffurnon called it tbe Republican party, but in iu first national campaign the organization was called the Democratic-Republican Srty by the masses. Tbe Tammany ciety of New York, wbicb was In ex Ssftence at that time, has ever since retain I ed tbe name Democratic-Republican or jganiaatiam "Sound Honey" Speaks Again. Editor Intelligencer : Replying to tbe ttiree columns of printed matter in the Advocate of March the 9th, 3890, we will only say that in his whole harangue there is not one point, idea, argument, -entimenr, illustration or suggestion that bas not already been expressed by Har vey (Colo), Cuxey, Tillman and a host of other cranks and demagouges. It Is simply amubing to one who has seen tbe world and in touch with experi enced easiness men tbe world over to encounter such a simpleton as tbe editor of tbe Advocate seems to be on tbis ques tion. He undertakes to quote authority only to suit bis caprice, but does not in a manly, honest and upright manner quote ??cih portions that would betray, yes, xposH the game and ignorance of the Populist. He undertakes to quote Cemuscbl in stead of Carnuchi as appears in the Ad vocate. Henri Cernuschi, tbe ablest and most conspicuous advocate of what is called bimetallism, also says: "that gold coin is the only kind of money which ioes not rest upon the force of an act of legal tender for its circulation. Gold bare of certified weight and quality are even preferred In international commerce to the coined money of any nation." Why did tbe Advocate not quote that part of Cernuscbi's opinions and au thority? It is a puzzle? Then be keeps on with other quota tions that bave iu no way any connection with the superiority of gold over silver, repeating tbe old cbestuut of tbe demone tizition In 1873, which, like all other of its statements, are fabrications to mislead the ignor?uc in order to catch votes. Let us look at the charge so often made by the 8ilverites and what there is really in it; In 1870, three years before tbe pas sage of tbe act of which we hear bo much ?mind now, three years before the origi nal draft of the act was sent to tbe Senate by Secretary Boutwell. Afterwards a consensus of opinion was obtained from a large number of prominent meu who were supposed to nave ideas of some value upon this particular subject ; and tbe expression of views thus obtained bad much to do with subsequent legisla tion. In tbese opinions, all of them based on a full statement of tbe facts in issue, stiver demonetization was taken as a matter of course. And these opinions were transmitted to tbe House of Repr? sentatives, thoroughly considered, and made tbe subject of extended debate in that body, representing tbe American people. Iu January of ?he year 1871, the Senate passed the bill by a vote of 33 to 14. Immediately tbe measure became one 'or public comment, aud for tbeconsld era'iou of the House of Representatives, tossed back aud forth, commented upon by every editor of the country who cared to express an opinion, aud considered more or less carefully by every Repre sentative iu tbe lower House of Congress. And this condition of things existed cot for a day or two, but for two long years. Tne bill was simply remarkable in the 'act that it was given to tbe p ople fur consideration more frequently and fully than almost any other measure that ever passed the two Houses ot Congress. It was printed and reprinted no less than thirteen times. It was discussed in every phase aud in every feature I It was con sidered over sud over with an attention almost microscopic, and the debates upon it fill solidly 148 pages of tbe Congres sional G lube. And tbis is $500,000 of Jewish bbylock g Id to secure the de monetization act of 1873 as tbe Advocate or Coiu aud bis followers term it. Facts are stubborn things of course; not that they bave any thing particular to do with tbe reasoning of tbe free silver Ue8?still they remain fonts, facts do uot seem to indicate that tbe demonetiza tion act was either sneaked or rushed through in tbe national L?gislature. Ou the contrary, tbe measure in all its fea tures and eveu iu its little details, bad an extraordinary degree of publicity. For three loug years it dangled, with all its im ta and bearings, before the American people and before tbe lawmakers who were tbe people's representatives. On he 9th or Januarv, 1872, Mr. W. D. K-lley, of Pennsylvania, chairman of the House Committee on coiuage, weights and measures, recommended the passage of tbe bill, saying, among other things. }t wa8 referred to tbe committee on coinage, weights and meas ures, and received as careful attention as I have ever known a committee to be stow on any measure. * * * Tbe committee proceeded with great delibera tion to go over tbe bill, nut only section bv section, but hoe by line and word by word, <fec, Ac., * * * It is impos sible to retain tbe double standard. The values of gold and silver constantly fluc tuate." Mr. Kelley?Pig Iron Kelley?was for many years one of toe most prominent members of tbe lower House of Congress. His own utterances when recommending the passage of the coiuage revl?lon bill, show that be fully understood that it provided lor the demonetization of silver, so did Mr. Hooper, of Massachusetts, aud -enator Iogalls, of Kansas, aud others, Tbe cry that any financial woes of the Uuited States are due to tbe crime of 1873 is a far cry in any application. From 1874 tu 2SP:?, the country, despite the .-eml-ostracised condition of this ever cheapening metal, was iu a very pros perous condition ; aud though there has come to tbe Uuited States a season of what is popularly called "bard times" to attribute the cause to this action of 1873 is about as reasonable as to attribute it to some variegation of sun spots. Had tbe demonetization of silver been necessarily so productive of Had results, the proceed ing eighteen years should certainly have giveu evidence of sume of tbe consequen ces uf that awful crime of 1873. Men have made furtuues since then?some of betu sllverites, and cow they lall back to something iu tbe past, something which was done when tbey were penni less, and quote it as a reason why tbey cannot transform one hundred thousand dollars iuto two hundred tbousaud dol lars. Tois is the whole thing iu a nut shell and uo living man dare deny it, for it is a matter of record and nut of seutl meut, bo commonly used by the silver lies. Tbe audacity of tbe Advocate is simply to be attributed to igoorauce and nothing else, fur no sensible man would under take to iguore tbe Secretary of tbe Treas ury of as great a nation as ours as of no value and uureliable. If tbe reports fur uished by our Government are not to be relied upou as being authentic, true and accurate, what a wretched nation this would be if the only source of Informa tion was to be reached through tbe finan cial columns of Coin's Financi- School aud the Advocate. Sou*"" <ney. Earle on tbe Dispensary* Judge Joseph H. Earle sprang a sensa tion in tbe Court of General Sessions yes terday morning when he stated iu his ? barge to tbe grand jury regarding tbe Dispensary that It bad been brought to his attention that men high iu counsels ot tbe State government, sworn officers of tbe law, tue very officers who were elected to carry out tbe Dispensary law, were themselves openly violating tbe law and instructing tbe Dispensers to disre gard those provisions of tbe Dispensary law which pointed out to them tbelr duties and guided them in the manage ment of their Dispensaries. It is evident that tbe Court had good cause to make tbis statement as all who know Judge Earle understand tbat be would not pre sent so grave a charge to the Grand Jury upon mere rumor ur idle hearsay. The complaint came from a Dispenser. Iu regard to tbe Dispensary law. he said : "The object of tbis law is to curtail and regulate, as far as possible, tbe use of liquor. Total prohibition was thought to be impracticable aud tbe repr?sentatives of tbe people enacted the Dispensary law. It is not for you or me to say whether tbe provisions of this law are good or bad. It is enough for us that it is on the statute books and it is our sworn duty to see tbat tbe people obey all tbe laws until tbey are repealed by tbe people's representa tives. But there are some matters wbh-b bave been brought to my attention in re gard to tbe execution of this law, which I du not like. It seems tbat tbe State constables, whose duty it is to travel about over tbe State aud inform against tbe violators, have themselves violated the law and men holding high positions of trust lu the State bave advised open violation uf the law. If the Dispenser does not sell whiskey according to the law be is just as much at fault as tbe men who sell it in the swamps.'' Here tbe Judge read tbe Dispensers' sale check an .'Section 12 of tbe Dispen sary law which points out the duty of Dispensers. He pointed out the evils that would arise from Dispenser's disre gard of his check and bis duty which was clearly outlined iu tbe provisions of the Act. If tbe check system was oloveoly carried out there was nothing to prevent tbe Dispenser from running a blind tiger, as it is called, on bis own account. It tbese safeguards of the law were thrown down, one by one, as they have beeu dropped, then the law will souu be a stench in the nostrils of tbe public. "I b?ve been imormnd," bo Mild, ''thnt the S'ate Board of Control has instructed tbe Dispensers to disregard tbese pro visions of the Act. Who has a right to dispense with any provision? of the law ? If this is true it is monstrous. I charge vou solemnly to carefully Investigate this matter and If tbe report Is true they dwrve ynnr unqualified censure."? I Qtccnville News, A Visit to au Historic Place. Miss Eliiae Mauldin, the eldest daughter of Mr. B P Mauldin, of this city, who ia Dow attending the EmerBon School of Expression and Physical Culture, at B <r ton, recently spent a day at Concord, N. H., and in a private letter to a friend bor? Dho gives the following interesting account of her visit, which we have asked permis sion to publish : I want to take you where I was yester day?to dear, quaint, historic Concord, the co?ter of literary interest and Revolution ary fame. A lany friend called for me and we start ed off on an adventure of some ?ort Our hearts inclined toward (Joncord, so we went to the Union Station and found that a train left for that piaon in twenty min utes. We bougut our tickets, boarded tbe train, and were soon spinning away through this New England country. Au hour's ride brought us to our desttnntion. As I ftppped out, it seemed to me I stood on holy ground, baptized with tbe b o >d of jpur F<*iOeis who there took their own cause Into tbelr own band* and fiught for our priceless Inheritance?liberty. The fctreets seemed to echo t.? the foot steps of Tboteau, the Alcotta, Hawthorne, aud Emerson. Tbe day was lovely, ao we 'ook an open carriage, and went everywhere with a guide, who pointed out everything of in terest. TbenVtthlnu was tbe old ''Wrlgb' Tavern," where King George's subnets drank and boasted before tb*-tight Then the old church, where the first Provincial Congress was held in 1774 Ic is a quatut old white building, set in a grovo and was built Id 1713 Leaving this, we entered that part of tbe town tbat interested me most?tbe residence pjrtion of those wri ters so dear to us all. Their homes wer? all near together and seemed linked by some intangible Me First cauie tbe home of Rilph Waldo Emerson, a bf>, ro< my, square bouse, white, with green bliuds, and set in a large grove A little further on, and on the opposite side of the street, is tbe "Orchard House," tbe home of the Alcotts. Nothing in all Concord appealed to me as this did Ton bouse is more on tbe cottaee order b >t two stories. In color it is light brown with blinds of a darker shade Here lived the ''Little Women." who were really Louisa M Alcott ber-elf and her eisten? I Baw tbe very room in which the wrote that beautiful story so lull of her own life and obaracter I saw tbe old "spple tree,'' whose boughs she used to ride, and cal' tbe ''Ellen tree " It bas a big apple orch atd on one side and a fir grove on tb< otber In the yard is a small grey build ing, where wbs held tbe famous ''Concord School of Philosophy," founded by Mr. Alcott, who was himself a writer and thinker. As I gszod at the old homestead it set med to me that surely, I would at tbe window, one of tbe girls, Meg, J it-, Betb or Amy. And I felt if I utayert Ion? enough tbat 'Laurie" would come bound ing through the ''fir grove" and climb the tauce It was all tbat I could do not i" a?k the driver where tbe Lawrences bon-e was. Well, next door to this is HawtborneV ''WavBide," his b>>m*. It is tbe same color at* the Alnotts, and was once owned by them and then sold to Bawtborne in lr52 It iB a somewhat larger hou*o and tbe third Btory is one large equal e room giving the appearance of a cnpola, and this was Ha?tborue's study. Nextdooi to bim, was wDere the ''Concord grspe" was first discovered- A Mr. Ephraim Bull moved out there from B mion o?. account of failing health. Looklu* <?bou> bis place one day, be found a wild grape vine, which be bey an to cultivate m a\)> wbat it would be. He planted outtlngs in pots, and put them iu a bot home a^o thus began the 1 Conoord grape," whlct' oas since spread everywhere I', grows t< perfection in New England, though, and it is sweeter aud better than ours. Tue original vine is there still L-aving these homes, haunted by tbe memories of those who there lived au<> died, we drove to ''Steepv Hollow Ceme tery." On tbe blghext ridge, we fuuod tin craves we sought "Tboreau" bas a large, square family monument Hawthorne's ia an old grave, marked by a small stone now gray with age In summer his grave is covered with tomb vine Higher still we came to tbe Alcott lot. Here are burled Mr. Alcott and four daughters. Tber* if no monument, but head stone* not over ? foot high, and on each barely the initials Tbe only difference between them is tba* on one grave is a small blab engraveo ' LouIhh M. Alcott." On tbe bigbtst peak is "Emerson^" and bis monument is an immense et<>ne ill pink quartz, in tbe rough, and apparently just as it came from tbe quarry. Ou it i ?x?d a pquare of bronze, containing hi> name and dates. Tbe beauty of it all Uv in its simplicity, and tbe more I thought of it, tbe more appropriate it seemed. ior they bave lt>ft more la*iiog monumeim tbsn stone. Tbelr beautiful thought- an<> sentiments and high characters, will live through tbe ages, engraven in the heart* or our people, and their influence will be felt through et-rnity. I hated to leave this beautiful home m the dead, for never was tbero a more peace ful spot, or one more fitted to bold tbe eartbiy remains of those gitted souls. We drove from here down ''Monument street," phasing "The Old Manse," ihm Hawthorne has made famous in hip "Masses from an old Manxe." Tbeground around are very ppscioop, but the house I? old aDd gray and moss covered A little farther on is the battlefield, where wa fougbt tbe first battle of the Revolution. A bronze statue of tbe ''Minute M un." marks tbe place where our fore falben? stood. On it Is carvel these words: " By the rode bridge that arched the flood, 1.5 fl.'g to Apr l'a breeze uulu-led. Here voce the embattled farmer utood, And bred the shot hiard routid the world " Tbe position of tbe British is marked by a shaft of granite, and there lie buried l*i of tbe British, killed in the riebt B-tween tbe two statue?, fins tbe Concord river,? beautiful, clear stream. It is very nur row, where tbe battle was fought From here we drove to tbe depot, and earn home I suppose there is no place of & much internat io our country ax this little town. Irby Stands by the Party. Special to Newa and Courier. Washington*, March 13.?Open war has been declared bo'ween Senators Irb.v and Tillinan, of South Carolina. A chairman of tbe State Democratic 0<>uj mittee of tbe Palmetto State, Senator Irby has issued in his official capacity h call tor tbe S'ate committee to meet iu Columbia April 7th aud in doing so be deals a direct blow at bis Senat rial col league, who threatens to bolt tbe Demo cratic National Convention unless a tree silver candidate is nominated aud pl?ced upon a free silver platform. Senator Irby takes the opposite position ami calls upon the Democratic party of South Carolina to remain true to tbe principle* of tbe National Democracy regardless of tbe action of tbe Chicago Convention. At the bottom of thip, action on the part of Senator Irby 1b the personal feud be tween tbe two South Carolina Senators. Irby and Tillman until recently were political partners, but alter Tinman's election to the Senate he parted company with bis colleague, and they hardly speak as they pass by. Senator Irby is anxious to be re-elected to tbe Senate, but Till man is opposing bim In tbe interest of biti young friend, John G:try Evans, the present Governor of the State. This ac tion on tbe part of Senator Irby is not taken without due deliberation, and it ia intended to prove his loyalty to the Dem ocratic party and set aside the charge of Populism wbiob has so often been laid against bim. Tbe following is the text of bis call to tbe Democracy of South Carol iua : To the members of the State Democratic Executive Committee. : Pursuant to the call of the Democratic National Commit tee, directing the selection of delegates from each of tbe several States to assem ble in Chicago on July 7 next for the purpose of nominating candidates for President and Vice President of tbe United States, the Democratic 8tnte Executive Committee is hereby requested to meet in the city of Columbia ou Tues day, the 7tb day of April, 1896, at tbe hour of 8 o'clock p. m., for the purpose ot taking the necessary steps looking to the reorganization of tbe Democratic party and to tbe assemblage of the state Con vention to elect delegates to tbe Nati-mal Convention, as provided for by Article tV of tbe Constitution of the party. Recognizing a3 I do, tbe wide differen ced of opinion as to tbe details of party policies aud party management, yet fulls alive to tbe present emergencies upon ibe Democracy, we cannot but realize tbat tbe Party's purposes and successes can only be attained by discipline aud organi zation. As understood by us, tbe hope of tbe country is centred in tbe Democratic party. Its principles, which have beeu j banded down from Jefferson and Jack- I son, are absolutely neeoxaary to maintain the equal rights of all the States, and to secure the wis- and economical govern ment of the country. W batever differen ces Miere may be hh to tbe appli?alioti of the geueral principles for which tbe party stands, all must agree tbat only by har mony, concession aud loyalty to the party can great endo be accomplished. Tbe representatives of this State should, therefore, go to the National Convention with a fixed determination to meet their brethren in a spirit of amity and with a view to harmony. United and in perfect accord, we ought to bo able to continue iu control or tbe Government, W ith a determination to produce harmony we can gam much in tbe direction of our own desires as to the application of Dem ocratic principles. Weean gain nothing except tbe defeat of the D-mocracy by open declaration of our determination to disorganize it, if we cannot have our particular views carried out. However we may differ as to details with our brother Democrats from other sections of the Union, we all know tbat tbe Demo cratic creed and Democtatic control of the Government are far better for us than anything we may expect from our op ponents.

She has gone from us "to tbe spirit- of the jutt made perfect, from ber earthly home to the many mansions," from tbe Church militant to tbe Cburrb trium phant. She was indeed a Christian. Her end was an impressive illustra-Ion of the pewer of faith in Ch<-ist to disarm death ot all its terrors, for she died so happy, with <he assurance of peace and joy in tbe world to come. After appropriate funeral services, conducted by her paetor, her remains were interred in the Rooky River Churchyard, there to await the r?surrection morn. She leaves a bont of friends and relatives to monrn ber deatb. John B. Herboit. The Hanks Family of Anderson. To the Editor of the News and Courier : Mr. KnotuVa letter about "John C. Cal hotin and Abraham Linenin" seems to have enused some sensation. The Amer ican Encyclopedia's as well as tbe En nvclopsjdia Britannloa's articles on Abra ham Lincoln say that Thomas Lincoln and Nancy H*nk?, his father and mother, were natives of Virginia, were married in 1806, and that Abraham Lincoln was born February 12, 1809. So much for tbe biographers of Mr. Lincoln, in tbe recog nized standard authorities. Tho late Ex-Governor James L. Orr was a profound student of human nature ?be studied men, knew their names, tbelr faces, tbeir fathers and grandfathers and, it ia said, never forgot a name or faco. He was raised near Cravtonville, in Anderson Countv, in the saute section where Elder Hanks lived and knew them personally. When Mr. Orr met Mr. Lincoln he discovered a family like ness, a heredity about Mr. Lincoln that impressed him. The Hon. B. F. Cray ton, who has a wonderful memory of persons and places, -ays that Mr. Orr told him thst after Kentucky was admitted Into tbe Union a number ot families from that section, as well as other sections, emigrated to Ken tucky, and among these families some of *he *H nksesalso emigrated and in tbe family there was a girl named Nancy Hunks. She bad a brother, Luke Hanks, who remained and lived near Crayton ville. In this County, but it seems that be never heard anything more of bis sister. Luke Hanks baa been dead several years, und be bad a son, Thomas Hanks, who lied some ten years ago. When Mr. Lincoln became prominent in politico Mr. Orr, with bis keen percep* 'ion And acquisitiveness, Boon learned that Mr. Lmodn's mother was a Nancy Hanks. He knew Luke Hanks and Thomas Hmks and of 'heir baving been oorn in the same section, and when be ' et Mr. Lincoln be perceived tbe marks of huredUy and family likeness, v/bich so impressed him that be never doubted the f-tci. that Mr. Lincoln was related by blond to Thomas Hun lot. There are now persons still living wbo remember tbe striking personal likuness of Thomas Hanks to tbe picture* or likeneuK of Abraham Lincoln. This fact coupled with Mr. Orr's known and recog? uized ability, and wonderful faculty in knowing people, caused many persona to believe that Mr. Lincoln's mother was tbe Nancy Hanks, wbo went to Ken tucky in tbe early part of tbe century, and was the Aunt of Thomas Hanks, who do much resembled Mr. Lincoln in personal appearance. Mr. ('ray ton says that it is not known definitely where tbe elder Hanks came from; but that it is evidently a mistake about Nanoy Hanks living near Mr. Cal horn in Abbeville County, as tbe H-inks family lived near CraytonvUle, at tbe time Nacoy Hanks left for Kentucky, ? cl she was not fully grown at the time. ..While the Hanks family bave been com paratively poor and obscure in this county, yet tbeir reputation for virtue nnd honesty seems never to have been questioned.
