Gist Rifles Survivors' Association Piedmont, S. C, August 9. Editor Intelligencer : After a dt - lightful day spent in Willianiston we write to tell it all to our Intelligencer. The occasion was the iOth annual meeting of Gist Rifles Survivors' Asso ciation that on the first Friday in August, rain or shiue, have been as aembling in that "Athens" of Ander son County, Williamston, for the last twenty years. A gentleman remarked to an old "vet": "Aren't you afraid your meet ing will conflict with politics?" The veteran replied: "No, our meeting it a fixed fact. It conflicts with nothing, and nothing with it. This meeting goes on if politics dropped out of the world." And so we found it, while even the weather with a soft, gauzy atmos phere, wiped its usually cloudy brow at such occasions and condescended to be with us in cheerful spirit during this first day of a beautiful August. If there ever had been war in the vicinity of the veterans they knew how to conceal it, gathering around the sumptuous tables speakiug of peace and prosperity. There never were brows more calm, more sunny, nor countenances more truly benring upon their pages the goBpel of brotherly love. If war produces such classic evolutions of crime and disaster, then its disturbance is not alia loss. Worse tbiugs have resulted from wavthau the type of men spared to "tell it out among the nations." Standing there among them where pence had its victory one might thought fully feel sad at the circumstances which might have been?the circum stances which might have permitted i people to continue iu apathetic goot will; and so prevented the war whict made these grand characters, whost development is today the flower ol Southern chivalry and the page ol heroic history which generations shal not blot out. We would not hav< sold these men with their types o: character, which we saw assembled a Williamston August lstforgenerntioni of innocuous peace that degeneratei into idiocy. We are only sorry tha the day will come which shall close tin precious volumes of their lives, whei each name shall be a golden clasp t< the sacred writings within. Thei they who are living shall remeinbei more carefully the lives they but little understood here, and place more lov ingly their memories in the shrine ol devoted hearts. To this end, probably, as well as t patriotic purpose, is the eflbrt discussed yesterday to build a monument tc Gist Rifles at Williamston. The band row is little, and not able to fight for themoelves, but the wo men are fighting f01 them. Mrs. Eula Crymes Wilson, daughter of a depart ed veteran, Serjeant Thomas CrymcSi and Miss Eva Stringer, of Helton, daughter of a brother veteran who ha; laid down his arms?Lieutenant A. J, Stringer?are receiving contributions for the monument. $100 yesterday having been subscribed as a beginning from among the few veterans present. Every woman in the assembly seemed to think it her duty to take up the cause of this monument, and work to a completion. Mr. Hammond, of Ander son, way there with some handsome samples ot granite and marble, he and Wm. P. Lee discussing designs, which were approved by the friends.

A DISTINGUIGHED LAWYER AKD LEGISLATOR, (S. S. Lamb, Editor, in Aiken Journal and Review.) With the people of South Carolina 1 the pending contest tor the seat in the I United .States Senate, to be made va I cant by the retirement of the Juuior Senator from this State, is perhaps the moat vital nintter of the moment. The Senatorial prize is one ot the highest honors for which our political gladia tors contend; from its organization the upper house of Congress has attracted the ambition of orators and 'jurists ?oaBessed of a genius for public uf airs. With the passing of McLaurin, and the llnal overthrow of the "Commer cial Democracy,"?but auother mime for Republicanism in South Carolina, ?the times call very loudly for a Sena tor, who will litly represent this State in what is, after all, the most impor tant legislative assembly in the world. This need is the more apparent at this time because of the subversion of the established principles of the Federal I constitution, and the imperialistic ten dencies, ever increasing of a centraliz ! ed government, of the few, for the few, by the few. TltK COMMERCIAL DEMOCRACY. In a speech delivered at Union last ! summer State Senator Henderson, of AiUen, was among the first of the poli tical lenders to point ont the impend ing dangers of the Commercial 1 Vmo i erocy,?au insidious effort on the part . of Me Lan riii and the Republican ad . I ministration, to disrupt aud disorgau I izethe Democratic party iu South Car olina. The result of the County and i State conventions fully illustrates how I well this ndx ice was heeded, and how thoroughly the death blow to this sub tle conspiracy was delivered. Its de feat proved tinnl and irretrievable. Seuntor McLnurin has voluntarily I withdrawn from the political arena. , A State convention of the party to 1 which he formerly professed allegianco - has pronounced his political epitaph. E Among the distinguished gentlemeu y who aspire to the Senate to succeed John L. McLnurin, the Honorable D. 1 S. Henderson, of Aiken, is easily one I of the most prominent. Au orator of t rare ability,?a man of brond and gen ? erouB viewB nud impulses,?a profound ' btudent of humnu affairs,?he possesses 1 I in an unusual degree those qualities > that upon the world's stnge go to make i up n mou of mark. And in additiou to his well armoured intellect "Dan" Henderson is a good ' irrend and a good citizen, to boot. Be > yond the natural limits of his own [ State he is known us one of the ac knowledged leaders in public affairs, and at the bar of South Carolina, as l one of our contemporaries has put it, L he is indeed, "a Christian gentleman, > an accomplished scholar, an able jurist and an eloquent speaker,?one alto gether worthy of a seat in the United ? States Senate." BEGINNING A CAREER, i Dan. S. Henderson was born iu Wal . terborougb, in the County of Colleton, South Carolina, in 1840. Doth his fat h I er and mother were natives of this State. The father, Daniel Henderson, \ was descended from a Scotch-Irish , origid, of which type are found some of . the most eminently successful men of this und other times. The elder Hen derson, iu his day, was a lawyer of ; note, and served with distinction in the Legislature of his State. He died in , 1804. Dan. Henderson, the son, at an early > age began his education iu the Char l lestou College with a scholarship won in a competitive examination. In 1870 he left the quiet college walls with ' the first honors of his class. With the I close of college days the young student i devoted himself to the mysteries of the law. Like many lawyers who have attained eminence Henderson gathered his first knowledge of the practical machinery of jurisprudence as a student in a law office. For a year and a half after leaving Charleston College, be studied law iu the oftice of Messrs, Si ' nions and Seigling, then among the leading practitioners in the historic city of Charleston. At the expiration ot this period Henderson began the struggle of life as a school teacher in Chester, S. C. His manly bearing, selt-r?liance, and . thorough methods of work, soon won for him many friends. He had about him that quality of personal magnetism ' that made him a favorite with all who came iu contact with the young teach er. In spare moments he pursued the study of the law with untlngging zeal. A MEMltER OF THE OAR. From the beginning of his career as a voung lawyer at Aiken in 1872, "Dan" "Henderson, ash" was familiarly known, gave undisputed promise of a success ful future. He had the faculty of win ing cases. Courts and juries alike ! wore impressed with the keen logic and I brilliant speeches of the young lawyer. I He was spoken of on all sides as one ! predestined to play an important part I upor. the stage of public affaira. From ! the start his reputation ns an orator and advocate or unusual ability gath ered to his oftice clients of all classes. The poor, seeking his aid, were never turned from Henderson's door un heeded. The number of his eases in creased. Ho began to be known about the State as a young man of splendid promise. TUT. TROUBLOUS TIMES OF '70. I In the turmoil and strife of the. car j pet bngger period of the reconstruc I tion Dan Henderson emerged from the { sphere of his local reputation, and came into prominence ns a leader in the struggle for white supremacy. Iiis aid and counsel were sought by mon older than himself. The Ham burg Riot occurred. His brilliant de fense of the six hundred men arrested I for complicity in thio affair won for , himself inntant and lasting recognition { as one of the ablest members of the South Carolina bar. A motion for I bail was made before Judge Malier. The motion was strenuously opposed i by radical Attorney Genernl Stone and District Attornev General Corbin. Gen. M. C. Butler" and A. P. Butler were two of the most prominent de fendants. The trial resulted iu a vic tory for the defense. In the noted prosecution of the EUetf ton prisoners in the United States Court at Charleston, Henderson de fended the case with signal ability and success. He was a stubborn fighter. His untiring perseverance, the cool ness and determination with which he couducted the examination of all tho witnesses, lasting for more than three weeks, challenged tho admiration of the court nnd audience. The young lawyer's splendid plea for tho defense was openly praised by Chief Justice Waite, lnte of the Su premo Court of the I'uited States Judge Waite presided at ihu triai'. Happening m the white heat of the struggle between the carpet bugger and negro domination, ou the one Bide, and the rule of the native born, ou tho other, these cases were followed with intense concern by tho whole South. For his legal services in this case Henderson charged no feo. Patriotism and the love of his State were fertile young lawyer a suflicient reward. To thiB day "Dan'' Henderson wears with pride a gold watch and chain presented to him by tho people of his County in recognition of Iiis services in the El lenton trial. AS A LEGISLATIVE LEADER. In 1870 the successful practitioner de clined the nomination for the State Senate. He was too young to be eligi ble for the olhce he was ottered. How ever, in 1880, 1). S. Henderson, then fully recognized as a leader in public affairs in his part of the State, was el ected to tho Senate of tho General Assembly of South Carolina, in the first primary ever held in Aiken Coun ty. During his tiret term he was oue of the foremost debaters in tho Senate, and was active in eecuriug the passage of several laws relating intimately to the welfare of the State. Duelling was then rife in South Car olina. Men fought at the ?trop of a hat, upon fancied insults, with seconds, and all the formalities of the code duel lo. Henderson was the author of tho fanions duelling oath, incorporated in to the oath of public office in South Uaroliua, intended to extirpate this evil. The first act ever passed 111 this State providing for the creation of a Railroad Commission was championed and advocated by D. S. Henderson. This act was tho origin of tho present Railroad Commission, possessing as it does powers of a far reaching charac ter relatiug to the regulation of rail roads and freights. The concealed weapon law,?tho eight box election law, by which u white man's govern ment wns perpetuated in South Caroli na,?with all this important legislation State Senator Henderson was actively identified. His busiuess affairs multiplied with such rapidity that in 1884 Henderson voluntarily retired from the State Senate. The same year he waB a mem ber of the South Carolina delegation to I the National Democratic Convention I at Chicago. For ten years following , his withdrawal from the General As sembly he devoted himself to the prac tice of law. During this time ho was only onco a candidate for otlice. This was in the famous Congressional con vention in which George D. Tillman was nominated after hundreds of bal lots had been cast. The convention lasted for more than three weeks. From tho beginning to the end of this memorable contest Aiken County solidly supported her favorite son. THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. tu 1895 the Reform and Conservative factious divided the Democratic Party in South Carolina, The party leaders deter* mined to mahe an effort to heal the breach exlBtiug In the party ranks. Hen derson was Hunt to rbe Constitutional Convention. He was Rupported by both divisions of the party as a leader having at heart the iutereata of the whole 8tate, In this memorable body Henderson took front rank as a legislator and statesman. As chairman of the Committee on Muni cipal Corporations and Police Regula tions he aided In framing the sections of the State Constitution relating to the li quor question, and having in view the elimination of barrooms, and the manage* meut of cities and towni?. He assumed a ftromlnent part in the argument of pub lo affairs, especially in the debates upon suffrage and education. The convention was composed of the representative pub lic men of South Carolina. The Senator from Aikeo County was easily one of the readiest aud most logical debaters in the whole assembly. AH STATE SENATOR IN RECENT YEARS. 1SO0 and again in 1900 Henderson was returned to the State Senate with over wbelmluu: majorities. During these sessions ho baa served with distinction in the upper branch of the Legislature. He baa been instrumental In securing the enaotment of legislation of lasting im portance. The reformation of tha Coun ty Government Law; the equalization of the taxes of the cotton mills and fertilizer factories;??11 this has been largely the result of the untiring dilligence and pub lic works of the Senator from Aiken. The latter act s.iane,?relating to tin cotton mills and fertilizer plants,?of which act he was the author, has put upon tbo tax books of the State fully $2,000,000 of taxa ble property. He was a strong advocate of the Separate Coach Bill. At the latent session of the General Assembly Senator Henderson vigorously supported tbo passage of the Antl-TrUBt Law, one of the most important enact meniH at this session. In bis entire pub* lie career he has beeu the champion of ftopular education, realizing in what arge degree the future welfare of the .Main U dependent upon the proper maintenance of our colleges and public schools. Hit? leadership iu thin cause is attested by tii.s position ns Chairman of the Committee 00 Education in the State Senate, and as a Trustee of Winthrop aud the South Carolina Colleges At 'he receot County Convention held in Ai .en Mr. Henderson announced his Intention to resign as titate Senator, in order to enter free-handed the contest for the United States Senate In the com ing primary. Dun Henderson is one of the most prac tical of ihinkerH?tho most kind hearted of men?the shrewdOHt of politicians? and, in our opinion, tbe best trial lawyer in South Carolina. The systematic business method* of his law office are the envy of his fellow members of the bar. From the humblest beginning be has arUen 10 a position of distinction. Sutures* bas not elated, and defeat?rare In his career?has not oast him down. He is pre eminently a self made man. Tbe cleanness of his public and private life stamps him as a man of undoubted Integrity and lofty purpose. He baa kbout him tho elements of suc cess. Tbe time*, are tired of corruption, of fawning, of pdltlcal pothunters of broach of faith and base d?sunion of principle. South Carolina needs as her represen tative In the bl?hest council hsll of the Nation, a states-nan of integrity, of char acter, of high purpose, of honor, of nub ile aaeftiii e?". Such n 'man i- 'Dan" Hender-.ui ? kn wn stul proved of his friend.-..
