PENSIONS KOK NEOKOES. When the pension bill was pond ing in the house of representatives, the colored member from Beaufort, the only colored member we believe in the house, moved to amend by adding $50,000 to be used for pen- shning negro servants who served their masters in the army and also those who worked on fortifications during the war and were forty years old or upwards when the war closed. The colored member supported his amendment in ,a speech of some length, which was listened to respect fully, but the house took no action on the amendment, further than to consent to its being recorded in the Journal. The amount proposed was too large in comparison with the amount carried by the bill, but the principle urged was a righteous one. The South Carolina legislature has made many appropriations more un wise, unjust, undeserved, and un generous, than would be one for $10,000 for pensioning some of the old negroes. The vast majority of the negroes during the war were true and faith ful. They worked the farms year af ter year and raised supplies for our armies, they looked after the com fort and welfare of the women and children, and though in some sections and at some times, these were com pletely in their power, they bestowed upon them nothing but kindness, obedience, and faithful lervice. There wasn’t an outrage perpetrated by a negro during the four years in the whole state of South Carolina, nor indeed in the whole cotton belt of states so far as our knowledge goes. Some of them followed their masters to the army and nursed them through sickness and wounds with all the tenderness and devotion of deep and unchanging love, or, it may be, closed their dying eyes and brought their bodies borne to rest in the old family burial grounds. All this, when the negroes well knew that the issue of slavery or freedom for them was involved in the struggle. In the face of the strong est temptations to betray that ever appealed to human motives, the negro remained true to his master and never lifted a finger to sever the relations which existed between them. And when those relations bad been violently sundered, the negro would still have been quiet and con tented with a subordinate place in the body politic and the last to create any political or social disturbance, but for the influence of vindictive, unscrupulous, and self-seeking white mrx Such services as the negro rendered deserve recognition and lasting grati tude and if the state of South Caro lina today could rise so far above the plane of prejudice, selfishness, and moral cowardice, as to avow that recognition and express that grati tude in unmistakable terms before the whole world, it would be the grandest triumph in her history. NOTES AND COAIMENTK. Senator McLaurin, it seems to us, has sold himself, soul and body, to the republicans. He has the legal right to sell out it he chooses, but ho has no moral right to stay in the United States Senate and claim to represent a democratic state. He was sent there by democratic voters, and when he can no longer conscientious ly act as spokesman and interpreter for those voters, he should bow him self out. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The arguments which the Colum bia State uses so earnestly against an increase of the pensions to vet erans, are arguments that 'can be used with equal force against appro priations to the free schools, against contributions to missions, against nearly all public collections for ob jects of charity and benevolence. The individual share of funds con tributed by the public for general distribution must always necessarily be relatively small. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ I 'be difficulty between Messrs. j|\aod K. B. Dean, of Hpartan- ^ \ which the latter was shot the arm, has been compro- fBfe the warrant sworn out rk former has been with- all right and pleas- o men are con- cerned. But when one man, and he ! a peace officer, shoots another on a i busy street In broad day light, the i utlair passes out of the hands of the two men and the whole public be comes more or less involved. The reconciliation and the withdrawal of the warrant fail to make amends for the wrongs done to public peace and 1 safety. ♦ The Biltish government is still raising reinforcements for the army in South Africa. A body of 70 000 mounted men is now wanted to counteract “the recent activity” of the Boers. These latter named gen tlemen die, but like Aguinaldo and hio followers, they won’t stay dead, to the great chagrin and disgust of a benignant government wanting noth ing but gold and “benevolent assimi lation.” It is quite probable that if England and the United States could i have foreseen, two years ago, the course of events, their benevolent aspirations would not have been j quite so exuberant, nor would the j behests of “destiny” have been quite i so arbitrary. When it comes to ugly names, England easily leads the world. And when it comes to mixing these names with others that are beautiful to the sight and harmonious to the ear, she has no esthetical compunctions what ever. Think of Victoria, with all the associations of a long and glorious reign clinging to her name, lying buried at Frogmore. Think of Cowes, to which the body of the great queen was first carried, of Sedgemore, Essex, Wessex, Glouces ter, Cheapside, Grub street, and say bow all these will do for the language of Shakespeare, Milton and Bryon? It is not true in the full sense of the word that the rose by any other name would smell as sweet. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The act to exempt the graduates of the Charleston Medical College from examination before the State Board is as narrow and perverted a specimen of legislation as ever took shape in a pettifogger’s brain or made up a paragraph in the statute books. The Charleston Medical Col lege is not a state institution and there is not a single reason why the legislature should give it this dis tinction over the best colleges of the United States,and of the world,except that it is located in Charleston and is in want of students. That it should apply for and accept such a distinction is evidence of conscious weakness, and that such an act can be passed by the legislature shows how easily a few shrewd, energetic designing men can manipulate and manage that honorable body. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ If we are to believe the newspaper reports, the practice of gambling has reached alarming proportions in many of the towns and cities. The Colum bia State has rendered valiant service in exposing the gambling dens of Co lumbia and in intimidating, if not in routing the gamblers; and the Spar tanburg Herald and several other papers have complained of the prac tice in their respetive towns. Laws are plentiful against this abominable, degradiog, and demoralizing vice, but the executive officers of municipal laws are generally the last ones to take notice of such violations of law. Gambling, besides being odious, un manly, and immoral in itself, always carries in its train a troop of other vices of the most degrading and dan gerous character. We do nob assert that Gaffney is free from this vice, but if it is practiced here, it is done on a small scale and in a clandestine manner. The police should, how ever, exercise vigilance in regard to it, and promptly arrest all offenders Ellis’s so-called histories of the United States were recently burned in a coffin at Forsyth, Ga., in the presence of a large and Indignant crowd. Speeches were made by prominent men who held up the author to execration, while they spoke kindly of the great body of the northern people. It is astonishing that a man who aspires to be a his torian cannot write a book without coloring it with his own cowardly malice. These miserable wretches who call themselves historians now constitute the one great barrier to good feeling between the North and South, and they should be frowned down by both sections. We have recently read a life of Abraham Lin coln, by Frank Crosby, of the Phila delphia bar, which is full of false hoods and vile slanders of the South ern leaders and people. We have nothing but kind feelings for Mr. Lincoln, but such writers as Frank Crosby deserve only the profound contempt of every lover of truth and honor.

(Correspondence of The Ledger.) Etta Jane, Ftb. 8 —We are pained to speak of the sad death of Mr. J Wesley McKown who was killed by j the train on the 8. C. G. E. rail- j road about three miles this side of ! Yorkville on the night of the 5th j inst , the circumstances of which, as we have them, are a profound mys tery, and wo hope a further investi- ! gation will result in a solution of the matter. Were it not for the fact that Mr. McKown and your correspondent were members of the same military family ! during the war, belonged to the same company, to the same mess, slept on the same pallet, shared the same ra tion, were both detailed as scouts for the army and often entered the fed eral lines for such information as was necessary for our commanders to have at times and have made many hair breadth escapes from d^ath or cap ture, we would not be so readily ex cused for making mention of these things or for stepping aside to drup a tear at his grave. Many of the inci dents to which we refer are taking shape and will be published in histor ical form and therefore we will not anticipate them in this connection. They will speak for themselves and the world will bear. As a soldier Wess McKown knew nothing of fear when duty called upon him. He wa. never known to complain but was always cheerful. As a citizen be was a noble, generous- hearted man, true to bis friends and open and positive with his enemies. He was no two-faced man—you al ways knew where he stood on any matter in which he felt an interest. His death was a shock to his family and friends. He was in the sixty- eighth year of his age and leaves a family of three sons and four daugh ters, a large circle of relatives and an innumerable host of friends to mourn his loss Rev. Mr. Ingram, of the Hickory Grove circuit, conducted the funeral obsequies at the grave. The scenes at the grave were the most impres- sise we ever witnessed. There wis scarcely a human eye that wms not filled with tears, neither was there a heart that was not filled with sympa thy for the grief stricken family. He was buried at the family burying ground, at the “Granny” McKown place, near Wilkinavilie, in the pres ence of the largest concourse of peo ple we have ever seen there on a sim ilar occasion. May heaven’s richest blessing rest upon the grief strickin family is our prayer. We are glad, however, to note the kindness and sympathy sho*n the family of the deceased by the railroad company by placing a special car at their disposal to come from Blacks burg to Hickory Grove and return. While the railroad company is not responsible for bis death, yet it shows that it is not altogether a heartless corporation. Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Estes will cele brate the fortieth anniversary of their wedding on next Wednesday, the 13th inst. May they live to see the return of many other anniver saries is the wish of this scribe. County Supervisor Whelchel was at Thomson’s mill on the 6th inst. to let out the contract for repairing the approaches to the bridge at that place. The contract was bid off by John Blackood for $267 and the work is to be completed by the 1st of April. Most of the timber will be new. The Owen’s ford bridge, the supervisor informs us, will soon re ceive bis attention, as it is in need of repairs, too. The house of representatives de serves the thanks of the old soldiers for the generous appropriation of $200,000 for Confederate pensions. What the fate of the bill will be in the senate remains yet to be seen. We regret to learn that our old friend, Mr. Moses Martin, died re cently at his home in this county at an advanced age.

Davidson went to Spartanburg Thursday on business. Mr. Davidson is having his bouse finished at this place. When it is completed he will have a home to be proud of. Several of our other neighbors have been engaged likewise; among them are Messrs. Ed. and Dexter Tindall. Mr. Mullins has also been repairing his house. Barney Vassey and Will Davidson, two of our best boys, are attending school in your city. They do not seem to mind the cold nor rein, but go right on every morning returning in the afternoon. Mr. Joe Cellars, of Spartanburg, visited his sister, Mrs. Mullin, last week. Our school is progressing nicely. Forty-one pupils have been enrolled. Mr. Will Vassy is teaching near the forks of Broad and Pacoiet rivers. A Sunday school has been organ ized at Beaver Dam church. This is an excellent movement on the part of the young people, of whom there are enough to make a thriving Sun day school. Come out, mothers and fathers, and help your children in this noble cause. The new iron bridge over Tbickety creek, near here, has been completed. The bridge force bas now gone to Cherokee creek, three miles north of Gaffney, to build a new bridge there as soon as the material is ready.

F. C Hickson occupied the pulpit of the First Baptist church Sunday night. Mr. Hickson is a good preacher, as everyone who has heard him knows, and his sermon Sunday night was exceptionally good one. Sunday was an ideal day. Tht weather was balmy and spring-like and in the afternoon the streets were thronged with promenaders and peo ple out driving. The new and hand some traps furnished by the livery people made things look quite city like. Rev. W. S. B. Ford, of the second Baptist church, preached a very able sermon Sunday morning on “Raising a Standard,” taking as a basis for his remarks the passage of Scripture which relates how the Prophet Elijah raised the standard of God in the building of the altar and his prayer was answered by fire from above. The sermon was pointed and full of good things. The singing, as usual, was hearty and responsive. A LITTLE SENSATIONAL. Treacher Makes a Startling Statement to llix Congregation. lYorkvIllo Yeoman.) Rev A. J. Hensley, the Baptist minister who lives at or near Hick ory Grove, and who only a few weeks ag > had some tr mb'e with a neighbor, is in a bad way again. This time it apuears. from the representations he has made, that Ins difficulty is more serious than before. R»v. A. N. Simple pastor of the Baptist church at Gaffney, received a letter from Mr. H nsley a-king that he would go to Shiloh church, in Bullocks Creek township. Sunday and preach for him No reasons were assigned but a letter was re ceived by the officers of the church, in which tht ii a minister related the reason why he could not be present ami reflected very seriously on a member of his family upon whom he threw the onus of a grave moral misstep. He added, however, that if the officers of the chinch saw fit they could discipline him and dis miss him, as the appearances were such that they would at least se riously impair his usefulness, though be insisted that be was an innocent’ party. It is understood that the other member of the family threat ens to bring action for slander, and asserts that he is the guilty party, and that it will be proved in court. What the truth is, few know, out side the principals themtelves. Mr Hensley has a number of warm and devoted friends among his con gregations, and these are naturally loth to believe the ugly things that eo.oe pe 'pie are saying about him.
