"? NEQIJECTIID DUXY."-Under thisJ
heading, our ootemporary of the Winns'
boro jVeios pens the article which we ap?
pend. Tho? xyeus makes an important
suggestion. It suggests to the'Survi?
vors' Association an enterprise than
which none more ueoful and noble eonld
command ite energies. Tbe lYew? Bays:
"The United States Government pays
out $21,000,000 as pensions to tho wi?
dows and orphans of tho soldiers killed
or dying on tho Federal side during the
late oivil wur. Those who di*.a on tho
Confederate side lost their live? after
serving without pay for two years, and
their families, by tho edict of emancipa?
tion- the moat sweeping measure of con?
fiscation' npon the records of history
have been roduoed to povorty. What a
contrast! And who will justify tho wnys
of Providence when it is so indubitably
certain that the soldiers of tho South
fought for their faith, and the mercena?
ries ol the North for their money. The
Survivors' Association has boen project?
ed to preserve the truth of history as to
the character of tho Southern troops,
but has not as yet reached that number
of members it onght to have reached,
nor exhibited that enthusiasm which the
cause demands. It has struck us that if
n religious and charitable feature be en?
grafted upon it, some practicable scheme
of benevolence that will reach the bo- 1
socas of men and enlist their sympathy,
tho Association wonld immediately be- \
gin to grow rapidly, and soon .would :
number over 10,000 active members,
contributing their dollar annually, and
reading with interest the details of all ,
its proceedings. i
"To attempt to pension tho widows :
and orphans of the Confederate dead, '
without the aid of taxation and tho in?
strumentality of tho Government, would
be absurd, What, then, eau be done?
We believe that a successful effort could
be made to educate some of the children ;
locally, where they are, in the different ?
Counties, and also to educate some thirty i
or forty of them at some oentral school, I
such ' as Colonel Coward's, nnd to edu- ?
cato three or four of the most deserving !
at the Virginia University. To make
this effort seems to us demanded by
gratitude and by j OH tico, and we are re?
joiced to know that it is in contemplation
by several of our generals to call the at?
tention of the Survivors' Association to
thia subject at the November meeting in
Columbia. In our next, we will diBOuss
the impracticability of obtaining money
enough for the purpose suggested."
MES. E. G. WHABTON INDICTED BY THE
GRAND JUBY.-From the Baltimore Sun
we take the following particulars relative
to this interesting case:
The grand jury of the criminal court,
on Saturday, indicted Mrs. E. G. Whar?
ton for the murder of General William
Scott Ketchum, and also with attempt?
ing to poison Eugene Vau Ness. The
indictment for the murder of General
Ketchum contains four counts. The
first charges the administration of tartar
emetio and tincture of yellow jasmine on
the 28th of Jane, 1871, and tho second
by administering poison, the name of
which is unknown, in the same manner, :
on the Bame day. The third and fourth '
counts obargo murder by three adminis?
trations of tartar emetic and poison of ;
an unknown nnmo, in lemonade, on the
2 Uh of June, in tea, on the 2Gth of June,
nnd tincture of yellow jasmine on the ,
28th of June, 1871. ,
The indictment for attempting to poi?
son Eugene Van Ness contains twelve
counts, and charges the actual adminis- ,
tration of tartar emetic and deadly poi?
son of unknown name on the 19th, 20th
and 24th of June, and with -mingling
Buch poison with beef tea on the 24th of 1
Juno, and with milk punch, of which he ;
was about to partake, on the 28th of
June, 1871, with intent to poison him.
The indictment is founded on the code,
article 30, section 158, which is in these
words: "Every person, his or her aiders
or abettors, who shall be convicted of
the crime of attempting to poison any
person, rd mil be sentenced to undergo a
confinement in tho penitentiary for not
less than two nor moro than ten year j."
THE WAY THEY MANUFACTURE KU
KLUX TESTIMONY.-Tho annexed card,
published in the Shelby (N. C.) Barnier,
over tho signnture of Plato Durham, de?
mands a suspension of judgment on tho
statements made touching his evidence
before the Eu Klux Committee, as pub?
lished in the Washington Chronicle:'
A CARD.-Mr. Editor: I see in the
Rutherford Star and other papers an
article copied from the Washington
Chronicle, (Radical organ,) which pur?
ports to give a synopsis of my testimony
before the Congressional Committee in?
vestigating tho condition of the South.
I have never heretofore condescended to
notice lying newspaper urticles, but as
this statement may do harm in the coun?
try, I ask permission to state in your
columns that it is a lying, garbled, por
verted nnd misrepresented statement of
my testimony, from beginning to end,
gotten up to Borve the purposes of Radi?
calism. There are not five lines of real
truth in the whole statement.
PLATO DURHAM.
The Rome (Ga.) Courier says: "Mr.
Jim Harris, the brother of Mr. E. R.
Harris, oar fellow-citizen, was shot on
Snit?ay afternoon, at Oxford, Ala., and
killed instantly. He was shot in the
forohead. The shooting was tho result
bf. a personal difficulty, we believe,
though we heard no particulars."
A n*grn, who r?oeut!y killed another
man ot bis own color at Dick's Creek
tunnel, in Georgia, has been arrested in

AFEW reasons why they should huvi th*
preferencia over all otb? rs:
1. Wheeler A Wilson's Suwing Machino is
muoh simpler than any of tho othors; re?
quiring less than half the amount of ma?
chinery.
2. As tho result of this simplicity, this ma?
chine is much less liable than the* others to
get out of repair.
3. Another result of this himpiicity it
greater durability.
4. Another result ia less friction, and, con?
sequently ^greater case aud rapidity of .mo?
tion, with leas noise.
5. And greatest of all, that it neos no Shut?
tle, and makes tho lock stitch.
It is tho cheapest to buy tho best. Buy tho
machino that has justly, fairly and honora?
bly won a roputation and indepcodence
agaiost a strong and bittoroompotitton. For
moro than twenty years has tho Wheeler &
Wilson not only stood first and foremost, but
now stands tho uniivtlled Sewing Machine of
tho enlightened civilized world. Buy tho ma?
chino that bas heon thus tested and proved,
und then you aro euro to get the best. For
anio on thc easiest possibles terms. Sales?
