WINNSBORO, 8. 0. Saturday, June 1, 1878. R. MEAN D.AV13, EDITOR. JX4O B. REYNOLDS, AssocIATr EDITOR. The Confederate Monument. The Ladies' Memorial Association of Colnbia is n:4king a final effort to complete the purchase of the monument to be erected in memory of the Confederate dead. For years, the ladies have been engnged in this labor of love and patriotic devotion, undaunted by obstacles, and undismayed by continued dis. appointment. Through the long night of Reconstruction they re mained faithful to the memories of the past, and now that the State is again rehabilitated, they fool that the result they have striven for so long should be achieved without further delay. To consummate their purpose they will have a grand fete in Columbia, beginning on the 7th of June, by which they hope to liquidate the debt of eighteen hun dred dollars still remaining. They will not erect the statue, which has for some time been delivered, until it is fully paid for. Then, with appropriate ceremonies, they will place it on the capital square in Columbia. This patriotic effort should be rewarded with success; and although times are hard, still a mite from each of those who remember the past, and honor the brave spirits who died for their country, will raise the required amount. In connection with this fete, polling places have been erected at different points for the election of a queen of the fete, -and the ballots are rated at-ten cents each. It is the desire-of the managers that each county vote for. some young lady. and forward the r.sult, with the money, to the managers in Colum bia. These elections have been found to be a most pleasant means of raising money for charitable purposes. It. is rather late in the day to begin in Fairfield ; but polls will be opened for a few days at the store of Messrs. McMaster & Brice, and all who desire to aid the ladies. in their laudable work can have a chance also to display their gal lantry. We hope some response will be given to the appeal. Let the monument be erected at once. The State Executive Committee. The Abbeville P'ress anel Banner bensures the State Executive Con rmittee, undeservedly, in our opin ion, because of its reconmmendation ~that candidates and voesbe re quird t pldgethemselves to .nupor al patynominations. W ,ments, an u eifin their wisdom, that we shall say nothing further on that subject. The pledges required of the candidates are nothing more or loss than the Isighth Article of the Conatitution .of 1876, which was adopted in man.y .of the counties-whether in Abbe ville or not, we are unable, at pres.. ent, to say. But we submit that -several members of the Executivo ,Committee have had more oxperi ence in dealing with independent movements than the editor of the .Press and Banner has had ; and 4< when they gi,ve it as their experi ence that the exaction of a pledge unity and defeatieg outside comn binations, it is rather severe to fdon," or-with the.purpose of "dis. franchising a private citizen if he refuses to submit to such oaths as snay be concocted in Columbia *by one or two ruling regulat~ors." In! what way these oaths and pledges are 'mp9strous" we fail to discern. $ hey are werely forroal souscia, D\os of *n agreement between 4 in ~Ofoerate, whbich is claim~ed to1 is'lt tacibly.. There .is sno0thing n o,'strous in asking people to speak .twhat they feel. Z'ob otot etidorsemen1t of the i1~9A f th t $p~oei1ve Oom~ ooIle u akkelauka.n oaths and pledges have been gen-), orally adopted in those counties that have heretofore been compelled to deal with or to apprehend iude, pendent movements. This circum stance alone should cause the op. ponents of the measure to suspend judgment a while until they shrtll have experienced the delights of a bolt for themselves. In our humble opinion the course of the Commit tee has been characterized by patriotism and a self-sacrificing devotion to duty. They spent their, time and money freely for the State ; and although one or two may have been rewarded by office, the balance have had no recompenso save a consciousness of duty earn estly performed. We cannot sea any evidence of a dictatoriul spirit, or of a desire to disfranchise any good Democrat. None but those who rofuse to support party nomi.. nations will be dobarrel from participating in nominations ; and these, however good citizans they may be, are not good Democrats. As to any porson.l differences be tween the Press and Bannr and any of the Committee, we have nothing to do. Bat we cannot see the whole Committee subjected to sweeping charges. 1V WS OF .11H6 DAY. Very little news of general inter est is transpiring. Columbia College has sent over a crew to row in England. The Vermont Republicans have revived the war issues They haven't sense enough to get up a new idea. There are a great many fools in Washington. This ought not to be put under the head of news, as it has been known so long, The fears of a communistic out break in the North are somewhat lessening, although a stiikers' riot is feared again in Pennsylvania. The Democratic attempt *to re duce the army to 20.000 men was defeated by a solid eipublicon vote, with a few Demcrats and the Texas delegation. B )th gubernatorial candidates in Pennsylvania began life as school teachers. None of the candidates on the Democratic State ticket are more than forty4wo years old. Recorder Hackett and the New York grand jury are after the board of health and the aldermen. Thirty indictments have been issued against parsons guilty of obstruct ing streets or making the city un healthy by their soap factories, &c. When a creditor gets judgment again'st the Khedlive of IDgypt, and sends a constable to levy' on his property, the Khcdiv'e applies thet bastinado to the ofli'eer's feets, andl and is never t.roubled with a second visit. Two respectable ladies were re cently arrested at different laces on the chargo of shoplifting. TIhey wore entirely innocent. One was actually sent to jail before her friends knew her situ ition. Great indignation prevails in society. Plymouth church should be abolished. A few days ago while the Rev. Mr. Smith, of the Bethel Mission, connected with Beecher's church, wvas on his way to services he was assaulted by a wvoman in black who called him, "iiar'-sedlucer -drunkard." Smith has a wife .and a number of children. He and Plymouth chlurch protest his in - nocence, and accuse the woman as being of bad .character; but the proof is undoubted that he fre, quently visited her and wvrote her letters somewhat more than friend ly. The trustees of the church offered Mr. Levis, the brother of Mr s. Kettel, the accuser', a sum of money if lie would not raise a scandal. This straw ought to break Plymouth's back. The story is told, and is said to .be entirely true, that at a recent dedication of a Baptist church, tihe ceremony of linmersion was per.. formed for the first time in that church by a wvell known Baptist minister. When he had entered the water, and while .wvutimg for tihe candidate, the minister sue;gested that somebody should sizvg an n.p, propr'iate hymn. One of the deacons, who .stood near by, heard the suggestion and,! ,withonut thin.king, atienck tip the familiar hymn, "Enll for .the Shore." T(,me hymn proved to be so ag. gestive, it is stated, that neith~er the minister nor congreg~ation could refra.ir fr.om an audible 'imile for somne tin**'And'thO Me~~ny. .had M E.'.%udadMM A bright and happy face peeping out of a baby carriage, is a sure sign that the littlo occupant has not been (dOct01 ed with op)11ia preparations.
