SENATOR McLARIN!
On yesterday THE TDEzS received a
private telegram announcing that
Governor Ellerbe had tendered the
appointment of the United States
Senatorshipito fill the vacancy causedi
by the death of Senator Earle,to Con
gressman Johr L. McLaurin, of this
district.
When last n tek within an hour or
two after the sad death of Senator
Earle we received the news, we could
not control the speculations of our
mind, and before we had scarcely re
covered from the sad shock, the irre
pressible thought came to us "Who
will succeed him," and the 'answer
just as quickly came, "John L. Mc
Laurin."
McLaurin was the logical man1
for the position. His well known fit
ness as a representative in the halls
of national legislation made him the
choice of a large majority of the vot
ers of the State, and in his selection,
Governor Ellerbe could not have bet
ter voiced the wishes of'the people.
Congressman McLaurin is young,
strong and active, possessing a mind]
inferior to none of his colleagues from
this State and few, if any; in the na 1
tional lower house. He is justly pop
ular, and his abilities having already1
been recognized in Washington, het
has won for himself and his State,
honors which no South Carolina Con
gressman has enjoyed in many years.
Few men possess his readiness in de
bate, and his clear and analytical
mind, in addition to a fearless cour
age to express his convictions on im
portant national matters regardless
of the opinions of politicians, give
him a worthy and enviable promi
nence.
Senator McLaurin will wear his
honors well, and as he has done in
the lower house he will do in the Sen
ate--reflect honor upon himself and
his State, and win the increased ad
miration of the people of South Caro
lina
THEY SAW THEIR ERROR.
A bout the first of April the regular
spring meeting of the State Board of
Education was held and several rules
were adopted, which if carried out,
would work many inconvenient
changes in the selhool machinery.
One of the new rules adopted was a
regulation forbidding the employing
in any public school of a teacher who
was related by blood or marriage,
within the second degree to the prin
cipal of a school, or to a member of
the Township Board of Trustees.
Another regulation was one cutting
off entirely the issuing of all third
grade certificates. The friction and
annoyance which would be caused
by the enforcement of these regula
tions can easily be seen. The first
would necessitate the importing of
teachers from other sections in about
eight out of ten communities, when
there were perhaps persons right in
the said communities who were qual
ified to teach, and many circum
stances would naturally tend to
ward their selection. And why the
restriction? Simply and for no other
reason than that a teacher shall not
be related, by blood or marriage
within the second degree, to the
trustees or to the principal in a school.'
The lack of wisdom in the other
regulation can just as easily be seen
when we remember that about
twenty-five per cent. of the teachers
of the State are third grade teachere,
and that is too large a per cent. to be
lopped off at once. Going upon the
assumption that all third grade teach
ersae inoruesn then this rule

SENATOR JOSEPH H. EARLE.

seem that nearly all the na
0
nations of Europe are afraid of each
other. The several royal families are
so closely connected with each other
by marriage and otherwise that they
are exceedingly cautious, lest the
whole group of neighboring nations
become involved in the difficulty.
For instance, King George, of Greece,
is the son of King Christian, of Den
mark, and was elevated to the Gre
cian throne by election some thirty
years ago. He married Olga, who
was a Russian grand duchess, and
aunt to~the present Czar Alexander.
The Prince of WVales married a Dan
ish princess, which makes him son-in
law to the king of Denmark and
brother-in-law to the king of Greece.
Then the Crown Prince Constantine,
of Greece, heir apparent to the
throne, and grand-son of the king of
Denmark, marries the daughter of
the late Emperor Frederick, of Ger
many, and sister to the present Em
peror William. There was most too
much kins:.ip mixed up among the
nations to let the disturbance go on
longer, as it might result in a tre
mendous family quarrel.
Mr. D. P. Davis, a prominent liveryman
and merchant of Goshen, Va., has this to
say on the subject of rheumatism: "I take
pleasure in recommending Chamberlain's
Pan Balm for rheumatism, as I know from
personal experience that it will do all that
is claimed for it. A year ago this spring
my brother was laid up in bed with inflam
matory rheumatism and suff'ered intensely.
The first application of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm eased the pain and the use of one
bottle completely cured him. For sale by

Rey. Henry)M. Mood.
The grace of one's personality adds
much to his influence among men.
There was -a calm, natural and digni
fied bearing-in the manner of the
subject of this memoir that attracted
attention in any assembly. I have
frequently observed him in the con
ference room, and his handsome phy
siue, graceful bearing and nobility
of mind, written so plainly on his
manly countenance, always inspired
my heart with nobler conceptions of
life. He was, indeed, one of nature's
noblemen, with the grace which cul
tivat ion and refinement lend, added
to him. Div'ine grace lays hold of
the body as well as the soul and uses
it for the glory of God. The genteel
bearing of Henry M. Mood was a fac
tor in the hand of God for impressing
the refining and ennobling influences
upon all with whom he camne in con
tat in this life. He was the highest
type of the educated Christian gen
tleman, pure in heart, gentle in man
ner, suave and polite to every one,
meek as a child of God should be,
and hiolv- in heart and life.
His capt of mind would have made
him eminent in any profession. His
mind was analytical, but not to the
dere-e that destroyed its synthetic
qualities. Like all noble natures he
loved nature, and would have made
a great naturalist if the trend of his
life had been in that direction. He
made frequent incursions, however,
into the field of natural science, and
brought with him into the pulpit the
aroma of the flowers and the exhilar
ating freshness of the fields and
-:oods. He was naturally a teacher,
andi no one could sit under the influ
ene of the gospel as unfolded by
him, without growing mentally as
well as spiritunally. When lhe spoke
upioni even the most commonplace
subjects lie invested them with an
interest that at once arrested the
attention of the whole audience. I
remember having heard him preach
a sermon to the funder-graduates of
the South Carolina Conference at
Newberry in 197. 'rhe sainted Dr.
i. W. Ilollantd, then president of
Newerry College. occupied the pew
in front of me. 1 noticed that his
attention was riveted on the speaker
as he discoursed on the subject,
"The Ministry is not a Profession.''
It was the first time the learned Lu
th'-n ivnehd ve senHer
M. Mood. I was a Methodist pupil
in the Lutheran college, and natur
ally feeling a boyish pride in the
church of my parents, I was anxious
to know what my teacher thought of
the effort of the representative of
my church on that occasion. I
asked him as we walked together
from the church how the sermon im
pressed him. I shall never forget the
thonghtful expression that came into
his face. He was silent a moment,
and then remarked: "If I had known
that such a rare treat was in store
for young ministers and those look
ing forward to the ministry, I would
have required the students of the
college to attend the service." Then,
pausing for a moment, he added,
"He is certainly a man not only of
polish, but of profound scholarship;
my ideal of what a minister of the
gospel ought to be." The next day the
the scholarly president spoke to my
class, in the class room, of the ad
mirable discourse and commended its
teaching to our earnest consideration.
I have mentioned the incident to
show the estimate of a great man,
sparing in praise and naturally diffi
dent, of a truly noble man of God.
They are together now in the better
land.
Henry M. Mood was the apostle of
temperance to South Carolina. No
man that the State has ever pro
duced, not even the gifted O'Neall,
was his peer in this great work. His
work along this line abides. He
plead for temperance on scriptural
grounds, and was the evangel of
blessedness to many a cursed home.
He "reasoned of righteousness, tem
perance and a judgment to come"
like the great apostle to the Gentiles;
and generations to come will share
the fruit of his labors. As he stood
before audiences and plead for the
cause so near his heart, men recog
nized in him an object lesson setting
forth the virtues of temperance, the
devotees beheld in him a sympathet
ic friend upon whom they could de
pend for help, for he was not a de
bauchee rescued from the horrors of
a drunkard's life, but the physical
product of the great principles of
temperance put into practice from
infancy to mature manhood; the
spiritual product of manhood conse
crated to God, with a heart like the
Master's, quick to respond to every
wail of suffering. A man of God
whose mission was not to discuss
politics or retail anecdotes, but to
teach the virtues of temperance. I
owe him much in every way, and feel
personally bereaved in his death.
He instilled principles into my heart
and life that have helped me to
nobler views of life. He has reaped
his merited reward.
Henry M. Mood was an educator.
In the year 1858 he established Dav
enport Female College, N. C., and
was its president for foui years. To
Columbia Female College he gave
four years of his ministerial life in
the capacity of president of the in
stitution-from 1862 to 1865. In that
stormy and trying period in the his
tory of our State, and of the South,
hundreds of parents throughout the
State congratulated themselves that
in the midst of their trials, they were
permitted to place their daughters
under the care and instruction of
this Christian gentleman. The influ
ence of his work in that institution
will be felt for many generations.
"He being dead yet speaketh" in the
refined atmosphere of many homes.
For two years he was principal of
Spring Street Normal School. This
makes up the record of his life as an
actual educator.
He planted the Methodist church
at Beaufort and also at Graniteville.
To the blessed ministry of Christ he
gave fifty-seven years of an earnest,
consecrated life, and during that
long period thlere was not the remot
est suspicion of evil, officially or
otherwise, cherished in any heart
against him. Was not his life, there
fore, a glorious success? He was, in
deed, more than conqueror through
the grace of God.
On the second of May, this month,
while sorrow filled the hearts of rela
tives and friends, when the an
nouncement of his decease was made,
there was joy in heaven. The re
union there with souls, with whom
he had been so intimately connected
in this life, must, indeed, have, been
a joyful event. His consecrated
father and mother, his brother
James, "the beloved physician;"
William WV. Mood, so closely identi
fied with this charge and whose
death we all lament; the peerless
educator, Asbury Mood ; the devoted
minister, John A. Mood, and Bishop
Asbury and "his gentle Amelia"
greeted his soul as it swept through
the gates. The peerless Wightman,
whose mother was dandled upon the
knee of Wesley, was there. The
great founder of Methodism himself
doubtless drew near, and an innum
erable throng greeted the triumph
ant victor. God crowned him, and
heaven's arches rang with the harps
of angels as they sang of the glories
of redeeming grace. He is not dead,
but liveth forever. Amen.-J. W.

Editor 3IAmso~ TIrzs:
In the last issue of your valnable paper
I read a com munication from a correspon d
ent signing himself "Good Times," in
which he takes it upon himself to criticize
an article clipped from the "Silver Knight
Watchman" that appeared in a previons
issue, and attempts to prove that times are
not hard, on the contrary, that times were
never better, and refers back to the condi
tions existing seventy-five years ago.
Now, althongh I cannot remember as far
back as he can, still, from what I have read
and even to use his own words, his argu
ment is fallacious. I think I have kept at
least as well abreast of the times, especially
in the field of labor, as has my venerable
friend and know whereof I speak. Hard
times are but little known in this section
of onr country as compared with the North
and East-the manufacturing district. One
does not appreciate the poverty and misery
that exist there unless he has lived and
suffered under the conditions prevailiug.
A laborer there works from ten to thirteen
hours a day in a stuffy, dirty and unhe lthy
factory or mill, for a mere pittance, hardly
enough to keep body and soul together.
'Tis true, that wages are hligher, but so also
is living. But those that work, even unaer
the conditions mentioned, consider them
selves fortunate. How many, though, are
there who do not have even the actual
necessaries of life; men who are unable to
obtain work and whose children are often
cmnpelled to go barefoot and with scant
clothing during the cold weather, while
their wives must take in washing to buy
bread and ofientimes the poor woman is
unable to obtain even that, for the supply
of washerwomen is always greater than the
demand.
One has but to pick up a Northern news
paper to learn of the miserable safferers,
and they suppress a majority of the more
revoting cases of misery; if they publishedl
all the facts it would be a lasting disgrace
to the co'untry. The number of unifortu
nate women is increased every day. It is
an exceptional case indeed, where a girl will
enter into a life of sin and shame from
choice. But necessity knows no law. Ah!
these are the good times my friend speaks
What is the cause't Your reply perhaps
Sthat they are indolent or demand too
high wages. Nothing of the sort. The
men are not lazy, and all they ask for is
employment at wages that will furnish
them with .iecessaries, without the luxuries.

what can he do? Should he seek redres
in the courts, his lack of money and th
abundance of that commodity in the hand
of the manufacturer makes justice (?) de
cide that the manufacturer is entitled t
"everything in sight."
But that is not the worst of it. When

Resistance to a cut is useless, for there ar,

Who are the people who do enjoy goot
times? Certainly not the producer, bn
the manufacturer, the banker and th,
rich land owner; men who do not worl
themselves, but allow others to do the worl
for them, while they appropriate all th
money.
'"Good Times" asks: "If times bfave no
improved, how did they build these larg,
cities." The ciies are of natural growth
and the times have improved. Bat who i:
benefited? None but the men who havi
been able to steal the most with the conniv
ance of the politicians who are sent to th
legislative halls of our country to improvi
the condition of the whole peoplt', bu
who succeed only in making life easier fo:
the rich men and harder for the poor man
The manufacturer takes extremely goot
care that his employee shall receive n<
more wages than will barely cover his liv
ing expenses, for if the laborer was enable(
to lay by anything, he might become a lit
tle more independent and resent the treat
meat accorded him by his employer, whicl
is but little better than that of a master t<
his slave.
To come right back to the State of Souti
Carolina. Will my friend deny that bu
few of the farmers, and they are virtuall;
the only-class of laborers in the State, ow:
their land in fee simple? How many o
them, though, are there who have givei
liens on the major portion of their crops
even before it is planted? And how ver;
many there are whose property is mort
gaged, and not-infreque-ntly to the last cen
that it will bear?
Compare this with the conditions pre
ailing fifty or seventy-five years ago. The:
a man farmed his own land and every
thing he raised was his. He did not ge
discouraged, as he does now, thinking o
the amount of his crop which was unde
lien to someone else and the interest d a
on the mortgage. No. In those days a ma:
knew that the more work he and his famil:
did, the more would they be worth and th
more comfortable would they be able ti
live in the bye and bye. Then, they wer
more ambitious and worked hard, alway
remembering that it was for themselves an:
not for the increase of the income of others
I do not wish "Good Times" to judge nm
a pessimist, for I am not, and hope and be
lieve that the laboring masses will eventu
ally find the remedy for the present miser;
and apply it. But the view taken by hium
under present conditions, is erroneous ii
the extreme, and I strongly suspect he is;
man with a good competency who looks a
things thrcugh rose-colored glasses an<
entirely overlooks the suftfeiings of thos,
who are not situated like himself.
The men are NOT themselves to blame fo
the hard times. Every one of themi
