SCHOLARS AND CITIZENS.
Wi'e Wordm on the Nature of Our Goiernment
and the Dury of Voun; Men.
Senator Hawley. of ('unecticut, in the
course of a reccut address to students at
Hamilton College. said: -It is impossibe
tor one who m.av call himsIelf a veterma to
come before an audien:e, of Voung mnCa
without thikinkg of their future and the I
future of their country. Boys are apt to
think that if they had lived in the past they
would have stood by Luther. have stood by
Cromwell, have stood by Christ. I am not
sure they wou.tl. Mut of the men of those
times did not. Bul even now Chrkt is con
stantlv benig (rucilled, contautly needs
defenders.
I do not htlieve in this discontent with the
present. nor in this agitation for constant C
change. There is one thing you may be
certain of, we are bound irrevocably to the
experiment of a government under which j
we shall have universal suffrage. So it is,
well for you as thinking , - to examine,
not only your religious benef, but also your
political belief. ;reat Britain is driving .
ahead like a ship in a gale. Men forget
that the constitution of England is not so
perfect as oil- own. There is not so safe
and conservative a government in the world
as ours. In forty-ei;ht hours an unruly
parliament could elfect a revolution and t
overthrow the government of Great Br- I
tain. Our -overnment is strong, our late
war was but a reconstruction of its founda
.tions."
Further on he said: "I am very impa
tient with those men who sneer at politics
.-and politicians, who juke at the purity of
womanhood and the sanctity of the church.
There is no more honest work done in the
'United States than is done in the govern
ment. The people believe this, while they
say to the contrary. This is why the. as-q
the government, although it would be a
great mistake, to take charge of banks. rail
roads and telegraph lines. There are too
many who forget that the government is
ourselves gone around the corner and come 1
in with another cap on. To place every
thing under the government would be to
take away the vitality of the people. Be
sides, if we grumble now at the way 150,
000 offices are managed what would we do
if we had the railroads and added 000,000
more?"
He concluded: "As educated young men,
you must not forget that the Lord and your
e country have demands on you for what
you have of talent. To be a politician in
the best sense is second only to being a
minister of the Lord Jesus Christ. The
most cowardly thing on God's footstool is
to run away from your government.
Thou-h you may not be an active politi t
cian, 'eep informed in matters of politics.
Always go to the caucus, the beginning of (
government. Know what is beig done
and see that it is being done rightly. Do
your duty everywhere as scholars and
American citizens, and everywhere above
the plume and the bayonet shall wave the
lilies and the palms of love and peace."
Order of American Firenen.
On the 15th of September, 1880, an or
ganization bearing the above name was
started by some of the most prominent tire I
lighters of the continent. The object of i
the Order is first to get the firemen of North
America united into one brotherhood, af ter
that it is intended to work together for mu
tual benefit and the benefit of the fire ser- t
vice of the country. There is no intention
to get up strikes in the Fire Departments
but always to make advancement in the
science of fire fighting by mutual counsel
and interchange of inormation. Another
object is to secure for firemen a proper rec
ognition for their services and ultiniatelv
provide a fund for relief in case of injury
or death. When the Order was organizedi
the Firemen> 11eraki, of New York, was
chosen as the official organ of the Order,
not that it should advocate it editorially
but that the Secretary should publish each
'week in its-columns an article, paid for as.
an advertisement, setting forth the objects,
aims and workings of the Order. From :
the publication of these articles the Orderi
has already attained a voluntary member
ship of 1,300. The total dues and fees are
at present 25 cts. which must accompanyt
the application for membership. Address,

Jan, 10, 1887. Anderson, S. C.
Clnverius Hansged.
,Cluverius, the murderer of his cousin, 1
Lillian Madison, whom he had betrayed
under promise of marriage, was hanged in
the Richmond jail yard at 1.10 P, M4. last
Friday.
In the jail yard is an electric fire alarm
box, connected with the general system
throuhout Richmond. His Excellency
Go.Lehad ordered that the fire alarm be
turned in from the jail station at the same
time the drop fell. Promptly at I.10 P.
31. the massive bells rang out the deasth C
knell, and the hearts of the people stood
still for a moment to realize that the be
trayer and murderer of his cousin had paid
the penalty of his awtul crime. The peo
ple uaarrounded the jail ini large, numbers,
but only the few olhcers tnd witnesses r-e
quired by law were admflitted into the jail
yard. Dr. Hatcher, his spiritual adyiser,
was with hinm, and he bore up to the last
with that wonderful self-possession that
has characterized himt throughout.
.He said nothing after mounting the scaf
fold. Dr. Hatcher said that the prisoner
ree)peste4 him to say that he (lied whhout(
ill-will to any one. He died protesting his
innocence.
Cluverius smiled while on the scadold,
but was seen to shudder just before the
drop fell. 'He (lied of strangulation.
Thus ends one of the most interesting
chapters in criminal history.
The Grange Encaw pment.
Capt John W. Wofford has commenced
operations at the Grange Encampment at
Spartanburg and is now engaged in cutting
and clearing away all the unde-rgrowth and
the unnecessary timber, preparatory to the
erection of the necessary buildings. The
people are very much in earnest, and in
tend to make the cncampmnent a success, I
so far as it lies in their power. The appro
priation made by the Legislature for the
exhibit of the Agricultural Department
and the amounts subscribed by otir people.
will go far towards completing all the ne
cessary buildings. conveniences, &c. Every I
. acomodation will be furnished by Az rail
road lines centering there, and when ther
connection between the Augusta and Spar- ,
tanburg and Air-Line is completed passen-e
gers can be placed directly on the groundss
from each one of our roads. It is hoped t
that an experimental station may be estab-t
lished on the grounds, in connection with f
or adjacent to the encampment, and Mr. J. I
- B. Cleveland has already ofe~red to furnishr
all the land necessary, f ree fromt all rent ord
expense, and 'to be used by the State ast
.long as desircd for such a piurpose.
Duplteating the Nan:e-n of C'itte4.

as the desire to honor the Father of his

christening an embryo shanty-town on the

tends to make the town ridiculous when it
