HISTORY AND IH TV. The veterans turned out well at Limestone last Saturday. There must have been as many as two hundred of them present, with about one hundred of others. The people of Gaffney, however, in the main stood aloof from the occasion. There was a protracted meeting in progress in the Baptist church, which no doubt kept some away. There was also a sad interment at the cemetery which demanded the attendance of many others. Further, it was Saturday, the day on which the country people are expected in town, and those who buy and sell were afraid to leave theT places of business lest they might miss the chance of a trade. But a more powerful factor than all these, is the prolound indifference, the unspeakable apathy, that prevails generally among our people in regard to tho facts that make up the history of their country. The average man of tl'.is day and time does not appear to cure an iota whether his father was a traitor or patriot, a poltroon or hero. You can neither insult him by charging the one nor inspire him by affirming the other. According to our way of thinking and feeling this is one of the most discouraging signs of the times. The man who feels no interest in his ancestry will h ave descendents who will feel no interest in him. The man whose admiration cannot be kindled by the high and noble deeds of others, is himself incapable of performing high and noble deeds. It was a large part of Gen, Walker’s mission to Gaffney to combat this in difference of which we have spoken and to impress our people with the importance of seeing to it that their children arc taught the facts of their country’s history. His was a mission : of true patriotism and wo feel sure that his address will accomplish much towards awakening a spirit of patriot ism among our people. Surely no one could huvo heard him tell how the deeds and the motives of the South are misrepresented in the so- called school histories of to-day with out having his resentment aroused and feeling a desire to do his part to wards exposing the calumny and re moving the iijus ice inilicli-d upon (lie Southern people. The Houth i-.us made a history which well may be the envy and admiration of the world. It is the paramount duty of this generation to see that it is properly recorded and handed doe n to the generations to come. This must and will bo done. Notwith- stanuing the present apathy of our people, there is enough of patriotic pride and love of trutii left to set fn motion inlluences which sooner or later will accomplish the desired result. LAW AND RROIIHtiriON. The Greenville News in its Sun day’s is^ue devotes its entire editorial space to the li<iuor question. Its his tory of liipior drinking and the changes.of public sentiment in regard to it is able and comprehensive, and its conclusions are logical and invin cible. Revolutions never go back wards. and there is nothing more cer tain than that tho people of this btate, sooner or later, are going to put down whisky. They may fail to outwit the bosses this time, but they will come agtin, and continue to come, until the manufacture and sale of whiskey will he prohibited by law. One gre.it cry now is, that public sen timent will not sustain such a law, and that without the endorsement of public sentiment such a law will be inoperative. Why public sentiment will not sustain a law which that same sentiment, as expressed through the ballot box has had enacted, is a ques tion which appears not to have oc- i curred to any of the advocates of L whisky. t But if we admit, for the sake of ar- > } gument, that this assertion is correct, there is still another phase of the question which appears to have been either forgotten or ignored. That is that it is one of the provinces of law to mould and direct public sentiment. Borne of the most widely beneficent laws of our state, notably the stock law, have been enacted far in advance of pub le ►entimeht, and when put ] into operation. | ublic sentiment has f rapidly crystalizo i into unqualified , endorsement. \ Politicians and demagogues drift with the current of popular opinion, but statesmen boldly put out to sea •nd search for now channels not laid down on the maps and charts. In other words, politicians and dema gogues have no higher object than to find out what the people think and &2*sasa2S2t£££; what they are going to think, while statesmen are leaders of thought and originators and directors of great pop ular movements. The great r°ed of South Carolina, and, indeed, of the United States to day, is statesmen—men who are not to be driven hither and thither by popular impulses—men who will not pander to popular ignorance and prej udice, who will not exhaust their en ergy and ingenuity in divining the drift of popular sentiment, but who will boldly think for themselves and for the people and who have the cour age to proclaim and to stand by their principles. A few such men would soon leaven the whole lump of poli tics, but alas! those few are wanting, and the ship of State must drift with the winds and tides till some strong hand shall take hold of the helm and some far seeing eye shall direct her into a safe and quiet harbor. TU.i.M \N AND HICKSON. We hope that our readers will all read carefully the communication of Rev. F. 0. Hickson published in this issue. Mr. Hickson means what he says, and he has a right to say it— the same right that Ben Tillman had when lie emerged from bis quiet farm and as a private citizen challenged and pushed a discussion with the candidates in the field. Mr. Tillman, we hear, intimated in Greenville that he would accept Mr. Hickson’s challenge, but we hardly think he is so intoxicated with success .or so blind to his own interest as to enter the arena of debate with Hick- eon. It would, however, be un epoch in the history of South Carolina if these two men could confront each other on the hustings. The debate between Hayne and Webster would sink into insignificance in the com parison. If there is a man in the State capable o! handling Tillman in Tillman’s own way, of conquering him with his own weapons, of deaf ening him with his own thunder, that man is Fred Hickson. We hope that the doughty Senator while he is down here mixing himself up with a variety of things that don’t concern him, can be prevailed on to accept this challenge. It seems to us that Hoyt remonstrates too feebly against bis interference and mani fests too much fear of antagonizing him and his iniluence, while no other candidate in the field dares to cross his path. We believe that Hoyt would gain friends by a course of de fiance rather than by making at tempts at apology and conciliation. If Hickson’s challenge be accepted there will be neither apology nor at tempt at conciliation on either side. The battle cry will he, “Lay on Me- Dcff,” and the people of South Caro lina will have an entertainment com pared with which the combats of Roman gladiators were tame and lifcb ss. MR. HICKSON TO SENITOR TILLMAN. No Argument Advanced for the Dispensary. SCRIPTURES DISTORTED. ■w—■ Kt'vivitl at Klhi tlul CIonon. Rev. R. H. Sanders, pastor of FI* bethel, Star Farm, held a very de lightful meeting of five days, August itb-7th inst., preaching two and three tim< s a day. The results were quite encouraging, the church b^ing re vived, one being restored and several received fjr baptism. Mr. Sanders had no ministerial help, but the mem bers were earnest in their support. Uf a meeting to bo held at Lime stone, due notice will be given here after. At this little church the ser vices are well attended ai d a good interest is reguh rly manifest! d. The day for p: aching there is the second Sunday, II a. m.; each month, and the Sunday school im-ets every Sun- dap afternoon. Though tew in num- b' rs (about fifty) this is a loyal and faithful hand. To those professors ami students of Limestone College, and to those citizens of Gaffney who have so often and constantly attended the meetings, Mr. Sanders is grateful, and it must not be forgotten that vis itors at the church at Limestone are cordially welcome.

My challenge has been accepted at last. The whole hosts of candidates for governor and lieutenant governor, and Mr. Tillman thrown in for good measure, came down on me today, but my hands were tied and I could not say a word. I should like to discuss the question and challenzed Mr. Tillman, personally, for a joint debate, which he declined. I take this means of replying. What the candidates said was so pueril and seemed to have so little effect that 1 shall not reply to them now, but confine myself to Mr. Tillman and bis speech. The farmers of this county know that I have stood with and for them and voted with and for them through all the bitter struggles they had to get possession of the State government and hence know that it is not political prejudice against Mr. Tillman that prompts what I shall say. Mr. Tillman has not advanced any argument for the dispensary. He has simply thrown his personal influ ence into the light against Col. Hoyt. His speech here today was, as I told him, an effort to stir up all the old time prejudice and fling it against Col. Hoyt and prohibition. Hence, one cannot discuss his position in this matter without discussing him. He appeared today, and does appear in this light, in two rolls, neither of which is creditable to him. He first appears in the roll of an ecclesiasti cal bishop to regulate the preachers —a kind of theological instructor of the preachers and their charges. He says the Bible is not opposed to drinking liquor, nor to making and selling liquor. Now, as would be ex pected of one who has studied the Bible as little as Mr. Tillman and who has been as indifferent to its claims to regulate his conduct as Mr. Tillman, that he should not be a pro ficient teacher nor even a bright scholar. He doesn’t seem to know that there was no such thing as liquor ; n Bible times. People bad learned then the art of fermenting fruit juices and making something that would, if taken in very large quantities, make drunk. But the art of distilling fruit and grain and making the terrible poison of alcohol came centuries after the lust book in the Bible was written. The Bible does prohibit the use even of wine among preachers and deacons and pronounces woes in this life and damnation in the life to come against the drunkard, even when the thing used was no more than weak wine. What would Paul and Solomon say of those who use the distilled double XX now vended in the dispensaries of South Carolina? But Mr. Tillman says Paul did tell Timothy to take a little wine for his stomach’s sake. Let us see how far that comes of serving Mr. Tillman’s case. He is advocating the use of distilled liquor as a beverage, that is for purposes of drunkenness; Paul is prescribing medicine. The prohibitionists allow that he is advocating its sale and use in unlim ited quantities. Paul says take a little. Now, if Mr. Tillman is going to preach I wish he would preach fair and not wrest the Scriptures out of its connection to his own hurt and many other men’s ruin. Tho Bible says no drunkard shall enter the kingdom of heaven. It classes drunkards—those who would use liquor as Mr. Tillman would allow— with liars, murderers, whoremongers and harlots. Is it not against the dispensary? If Mr. Tillman is going to preach I urge him to go to some good theological seminary and study Scripture interpretations. But doesn't it all seem a huge joke that Mr. Tillman should quote Scripture and isn’t it presumption in the ex treme for him to lecture preachers about their duties. Was there ever such un example of conceit as for Mr. Tillman to net himself up as knowing more about right and wrong than all the preachers in South Car olina. “Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge." “The preachers are honest, but weak in the upper story; they don’t know." Ah, but Mr. Tillman knows! Mr. Tillman is drunken power and that is the worst drunk in the world for making a fool of a man. But will the people follow Mr. Tillman or the preachers and the Bible? There was a time in South Carolina when they would follow him against the preauhers and the Bible and God. Has that time passed? The Lord grant that it has. But, I want to say this to my friends in Cherokee, if you think Mr. Tillman knows more of the Bible and of right, of bow to live and how to die than I do, let him be your pastor, let him come to pray for you when you come to die, let him preach your fu neral when you are dead. I don’t wan’t to do it. The other roll in which Mr. Tillman appears is that of a political "hench man." I use henchman to describe one who is not a candidate himself hut is working for the election of an other. That is wliat he is doing. It puts him in a pitiable plight that he, a United Htates Senator, should be stumping Houth Carolina in fht In terest of some candidate for governor Mr. Tillman wants to know if we will never be done with this whiskey question in the State campaigns. I want to know if we will never be done with Mr. Tillman in our State cam- f iaigns? Has he got to come down iere every election year to tell us what to do? But he says, “I don’t waul to tell you what to do; 1 want you to do as you please. Weli, I never saw a man have* to sweat and blow and ball at people to get them LIMESTONE COLLEGE, GiVITlTIVICY, £3.

The next session will open on September 10th. Terms very reasonable. Write for Catalogue and further information to Senior Professor, Captain H. P. Griffith, or to the President, LEE DAVIS LODGE, A. M., Ph. D. to do as they please. “My success in leading the people has been due to the fact that I always led them the way they wanted to go.” It looks very much like it, when after the people had voted ten thousond major ity for prohibition he threw his whole influence into defeating that major ity’s wishes and then when some of that majority and others refused to bow to his will he secured a body guard of constables armed to the teeth to force them to submit and then, when after years of submission, there is a sign of an uprising of that same majority to secure their wishes he comes with the aid of drunken howlers to drown their voices and de feat their wish. But Mr. Tillman says that that majority had no right to prohibition, because there were 22,000 people who had a right to vote and didn’t vote on either side. I asked Mr. Tillman if he received only 10 000 votes for the office of senator would he consider himself elected to that office and entitled to fill it and he said, “yes, I am not responsible for those not voting who had a right to vote." What right had Mr. Till man to represent those 22,000 voters (who didn’t vote) in the legislature of South Carolina? Who told him that they wanted the dispensary? Did you lead those 22,000 people in the way they wanted to go? Let this do for the present. This is only a part of what I would say if I hud a reply today to Mr. Tillman. The rest I’ll say some other time. Respectfully. F. C. Hickson. AT REST IN OAKLAND. OLD SOLDIERS MEET. A Eance Concuunw Ray Homage to tliu Memory of Euclau Hopper. The funeral services of the late J Lucian Hopper took place from the First Baptist church Saturday morn ingat !)o’clock, Rev. B. P. Robertson conducting the services. Ihe atten dance was perhaps tho largest that ever honored so young a man at this place. A noticable feature was the gathering at the late home of the deceased of a large number of children to do homage to his memory. These marched in double file immediately after the Knights of Pythias and the affect was to impress ev ry one with the fact that Mr. Hopper was a great lover of little children and that they iu turn loved him. The funeral services were impressive and befit ting. At the cemetery the Knights of Pythias concluded the ceremony. Chancellor Commander Waidlaw made a few fitting and appropriate remarks, during which he took occa sion to admonish his fellow Knights to endeavor to emulate the example of their dead brother and comrade. After tho cedar had been deposited by the members in the grave of their beloved brother and the reading of the ceremony by the prelate the com rades of the deceased gently (ilitd in the earth upon his coffin, utter which an appropriate hymn was sung. Thus Lucian Hopper was laid to rest with the greatest honor that can bo bestowed upon a human being in this world—’the love of his fellow men. The pall bearers were: D. C. Ross, Barnett Lipscomb. Boyd L Hames, L. B. Randall, J. Kb. J“fferies and T. L. Brown. Out AkuIu.

Tlio Mt’ii Who Wore the Gray Listens to Soul-Stirring Speeches. The meeting of tha Confederate veterans on Saturday was a grand success. The old fellows began to ar rive early and soon began to repair to tlie beautiful groves and spacious Di- azzas of Limestone College. Many of them brought their families, which added much to the pleasure of the occasion. Gen. Carwile arrived in the city Friday and received marked attention from his comrades. During his stay in the city Gen. Carwile was tho guest of Mr. A. D. Thomas. Gen. Walker was delayed and came in on the vestibule Saturday morning and was driven to Limestone College and was tho guest of Col. H. P. Griffith and Dr. Lodge while in the city. About 10 o’clock the spacious au ditorium of the college was thrown open where all soon assembl’d. The meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. T. J. Campbell and was wel comed to the college by Dr. Lodge in a pretty little speech which was full of gratitude to the veterans forgoing to Limestone. He told them the col lege was theirs and at their disposal at ail times, and that one of its chief objects was to collect and teach their history as they made it. After the address of welcome Col. II. P. Griffith, who presided at the meeting, in u few complimentary and fitting remarks introduced General Walker, who was received with cheers. Gen. Walker’s theme was history. He showed l.imself well versed in it and impressed on the audience the im portance of having correct histories introduced in the schools and taught to their children. Gen. Walker had his subject well in hand and handled it in such a way as to show his thor ough knowledge of existing conditions and the importance of their correc tion. His address was well received, often eliciting applause, and was-con- cluded amid hearty cheers. Gen. Carwile was then presented by Col. Griffith—they had served to gether in the ]4*h 8. C. V. The Col onel was high in his praises of the services of his old comrade, and said when he spoke of Gen. Carwile’s splen did servlets us a Confederate officer and soldier he knew what he was talk ing about, for ho saw him performing them. Gon. Carwile came to tlie front amid loud applause, and went right into what he said with a vim. His address was full of love for his com- rtides and brotherly admonition to them. He implored tln-m never to see one of Hum suffer while there was a dollar in anottier’s pocket. His hearty, enthusiastic manner and patriotic utterances captured the au dience and secured for him rounds of applause. A resolution was introduced by I). A. Thomas requesting the Sons of Veterans in Cherokee county to meet in the court house^n tho first Mon day in September and organize a camp of Sons of Veterans. Also requesting the daughters of the county to meet on some early day and organize a chapter of the Daughters of the Con federacy, which was unanimously adopted. Tho meeting then adjourned, and will long bu remembered by those who attended for its many pleasant features. 1>«-U<1, Yet He Wulketb. Bob Wilkins, a well known colored boy of this section, who has been acting in the capacity of a waiter at the Lipscomb Hotel in this city and at other places, left here several months ago for Wayneevilie, Ashe ville and other points. A couple of "'eeks ago a message was received in this city stating that Bob was dead, and that his corpse would arrive on a certain train. All the colored popu lation, including a number of socie ties, prepared to meet the corpse at the depot and all were expecting a great time af Bob's wake When the train arrived instead of being pushed out of the baggage car in a coffin Bob stepped out of the train. Of course it was a surpr.se to Bob’s friends to find that he had not taken his depart ure to that bourne from whence no traveler ere returns. One old color ed woman was so disgusted at being disappointed that she v.a* heard to re mark ; “Well, I declur, dat nigger ought ter bo killed fur coming back here ’live."

SHORT LOCAL ITEMS. Local Items Too Short fora Head Grouped Together. Mr. J. C. Thompson and family, who have been living at Home, in this county, for a number of y^-ars, have moved to Gaffney and will make this their home in the future. The county campaign meeting yesterday was at White Plains. The vote hunters were out early. It is evident that many of them believe in the old adage of “the early bird catches the worm.” Frank Petty, colored, was before Magistrate Phillips one day last week for shooting on the public high way. The evidence was against Frank and he was fined $15 or thirty days. He paid the $15 On account of the revival at the First Baptist church there were no services in either the Methodist or Presbyterian churches Sunday morning and evening. Both congre gations attended the Baptist church. Mayor Pro Tem Baker had a light case of drunk and disorderly conduct to dispose of yesterday morning. The defendant demanded a jury. The jury found the defendant guilty and the Mayor pro tem fined the de fendant $5. Joe W. Gaffney, who has been en gaged in building tenement houses at Oherokee Falls for some time, has finished up there and returned to Gaffney. He expects to go to Bessi- mer City next week to build some houses there. A negro created some excitement last night by firing a pistol while en gaged in a quarrel with another negro in a store on Frederick street. The violator of the law was given a lively chase but proved to be too fleet footed for liis pursuers. L W. McGuinn is moving the houses off tlie lot recently purchased of Mr G. W. Byars and will erect a handsome dwelling for his own use, on Limestone “treet. Work is to be commenced at once and the row home will add to the attractiveness oi that part of the city. There was a large crowd in the city Saturday afternoon and business with the merchants was unusually brisk. Late in the afternoon the sidewalks were thronged and vehicles of every description filled the streets and back lots. The crowd was in good humor and nearly every man and woman carrieda bundle of merchandise. Beginning next Habbath tbe con gregation of the Methodist church will hold services on Sunday morning in the court house. The Bunday school services will be held at 10 o'clock and the regular preaching services at 11. Rev. W. H. Hodges, the pastor, extends a cordial invita tion to everybody to attend these services. Mr. Walter Chambers has received a memento from his brother, Herbert, now serving in tlie Phillipines, in the shape of a dagger. It is an ugly look ing weapon and the workmanship shows unmistakable evidence of the native Philipiuo. On the handle has been engraved, “Herbert Chambers. San Mafoe, December 19, 1899." The weapon was captured from a na tive in an engagement and was sent to this country through the mail. “Dear Ledger, here is a personal.” That is the way in which one of our charming lady friends addressed us the other day as she inclosed two personals for our personal column. It was not a great deal, it is true, but if all tbe ladies in tbe city understood how much it was appreciated they would send us these personals about their friends and themselves Help us out these hot days when it is difficult to find something to write about by sending in a peronal or local that you may possess and which we may not be aware of.
