Hampton Held In Court House Friday* Might. The Hampton memorial meeting held Friday evening in the court house under the auspices of the Moses Wood and Winnie Davis chap ters of the Daughters of the Confed eracy was one of the most pleasing and most heartily entered into meet ings, by those present, of anything 1 that has happened in Gaffney for ! some time. The two chapters atten ded in a body and Col. J G. Ward- law. commanderof the (Smith Lips comb camp of the iSone of Veterans, presided. At It o’clock Col. Wardlaw in a deservedly complimentary man- ror. introiuced Kev. John McBryde, D D., who was a gal.ant Confederate soldier of McGowan's brigade, and, as he stated, is still "an unreconstruct ed rebel ” Dr McBryde took up the life of Gen. Hampton and showed his inti mate knowledge of it. He pictured him as rich Southern planter, as modest citizen, as daring, energetic and prudent, but aiwajs unflicding and successful soldier, and as wise patriotic and able statesman. In all these phases of life Gen. Harnp- ! ton measured up to the acme of per- ' fectiou and marked him the fore most man of his time. Dr. McBryde’s soul was iu his address and bis flights of eloquence and pathos often made the tears well up in the eyes of the gray-haired veterans who were given seats of honor near him. His refer- I ences to the women of the (South dur ing the war were fine, the hardships they underwent, the privations they suffered, the loss of fathers, husbands, sous, brothers and sweethearts never crushed their spirits, they kept up their work and were to the last for war. After Dr. McBryde finished his ad dress Col. Wardlaw tbeo introduced Capt. H. F. Griffith, who, as usual, went right into his subject. The ; theme was inviting to him and his eulogy on Gen. Hampton, though short, was the fiorst we ever heard on any man, or that we ever read. Hampton’s sweet civil life, his lofty, manly and dignified statesman ship, Hampton, the dashing cavalier, all sprung up before tbe speaker, and bis picture of these phases of his life were vividly presented to bia hearers ana painted with lurid eloquence. He said if there was a being ao low that a character lik-JHamptoo’e|could not inspire emotions of pride and pa triotism in its breast, that being was sordid and no good could or ever would eminate from it. He told the women that it was hard for them to realize what Hampton had done for them. That for five months he bad stood between them and civilization, aud the anarchy, mi*rule and thiev ing po icy of the republican party whicu they had inflicted ou fimih Carolina. He stood like a giant and held back this robber baud of repub licans and in u peaceable way plu< ked from them their ta.ousof destruction aud hurled them from place and power, and restored decency and civ ilization to .South Carolina. He held up the republicans in all their hid eousness and said that the few white people in this State who fraternized with them then since or now, should not be trusted by white South Caro linians. Tbe Winnie Davia and Moses Wood chapters Daughters of tbe Confeder acy have done a superb, patriotic ser vice. We congratulate Mrs. W. O. Lipscomb and Miss Inertia Morgan, the presidents, and their comrades of the two chapters on the Hoe work they have done, and thank them for the splendid example which can but in spire patriotism and have a general ennobling effect on the community. Dr. McBryde was entertained at the beautiful suburban home of Mr. aud Mrs W. (> l>ipscomb during his stay in Gaffney. Vou can take a lazy man to but you can’t make him work. REV. AMOS CLARY. He ■» Now a Full-Flexed Miulitter and Wil Take l'p Ills Work in T« xa*. Rev Amos Clary, who has been taking a course of study in the Roch ester (New York) Theological Semi nary, graduated there last week and arrived at tbe home of bis mother in this city Baturday. Mr. Clary is of one of Cherokee’s oldest and most highly respected families and is himself one of her most worthy sons. He is a graduate of Furman University as well as of ! the Rochester seminary above men tioned. He now has a fine education, the result of his own hard work, huh starts out into the work of his sacred i calling with high literary attain ments, unsullied character, deep j piety and true Christianity. Mr. (illary preached two strong ser- I rnons in the first Baptist church Bun- | day. His texts were well chosen an,; his sermons showed a k mwledge ol his subjects which was pleasing to his friends, and his earnestness of style showed his appreciation of the great work he has taken up. We wish that Mr. Clary could see his way clear to stay with us, but duty has called him to another field and he will in a short time take up his work in far off Texas, where he has accepted a flattering call. The good wishes of all Cherokee will att-nd him wherever lie goes and those of the writer will represent a full share. Mayur's Court. The Baturday and Sunday sinners appeared iu fpree yesterday morning aud were soon lined up before His Hornor to^ answer tbeftebarges pre- fertd against them. Nine were pre sent aud each one had in his opinion a pretty good excuse for his troubles. His Honor gave each one a patient bearing but tbe scales of justice went down on the side against all of them, ; and His Honor dispensed the penal ties .to each as he in his judgment thought the offender deserved. And while he was merciful to all, tbe joint penalties netted tbe city eighty days of. work, a commodity the parties who furnished it are not imtimably agiuainted with, and five dollars which went jingling into tbe city treasury. Tbe parties all looked pienitent, but many of them are not strangers in the court and will be there again as soon as they can get a few cents together to get a bottle of ‘fuss X." or start a peony "skin game." Feuvluu* Behijg Fald. The money for the Confederate pen sioners iu Cherokee county has been received by the clerk of the court and is being paid out. (^uite a number of the grand old feilows were paid Saturday g and others were paid Nes- terday. They get $19 (}j each and appre ciate it, but we aimoet feel ashamed when vie think of Georgia's munifi cence to her gallant oiu heroes, in compar.son with the pittance tuuth Carolina is giving hers.
