The most of the aspi rants to the U. 8. Benate will con tinue in the race as Fong as they may see or think they see the slightest chance or the remotest possibility of election, and Hampton, in serene composure, will end his eventful days in his quiet, humble home in Colum bia. He neither needs nor desires any more honors. It is the people of Bouth Carolina that need to remove their shame and to honor themselves by honoring him. A mother has been induced by designing and deceptive tongues to turn her back upon her noblest son, and though her heart may yearn to take him to her arms once more, yet she has become weak ened and corrupted by her surround ings and cooled by her enstrange- ment, and she has not the courage to confess the unnatural wrong and to lavish upon him again the wealth of a mother’s love. A few more days and the old war rior will be at rest, beyond the reach of envy or malice, insensible to slights and neglect, never more to feel the pangs of ingratitude nor experience the evidence of mistrust. He is a born aristocrat—an aristocrat in blood, in character, in a lofty, round ed manhood. Would that the Htate had more such aristocrats.

It seems difficult to convince the Bpartanhurg Herald that we are not in favor of limiting free speech. It asks. “What would The Ledger do with those who framed the Chicago platform and denounced government by injunction,’ declared that the trusts run the government, and make other unsavory charges? What would The Ledger do with The Herald, for saying ‘the octopus must go,' or with itself for speaking of the reconstruct ion era as ‘the dark days off radical ism ?’” In reply to the above questions we d‘*rfully expreseive proverb sugges'e itself: “Constant dropping wear- the stone.” Unremitting advertising nursued methodically day by day. week by week, month by month, is in the end less expensive than occas ional advertising, in firs and starts. $ioo Reward, $ioo.
