BALL, EDITOR. ites for Advertising.?Ordinary Ad vertisements, per square, eno Inser tion, % 1.00; each subsequent lnsortlon, 60 cents. Liberal reduction made for largo Ad vertisements. W. W. BALL, * Proprietor. LAUKENS, 8. C? June 27, 1898. This from tho Greonvllle Moun taineer is exaetly the caso: "The Abbeville Medium seems to think that many young men In the 8tato are kept from joining the re formers by the hope that the oppo Hi tlon will get control of the offices In this State, and very plainly sug gests that an ambitious man must tie on to tho reformers, If he over ex pects to get an office. Has It never occurred to the editor of the Medi um that the young men who have rofused to follow Tillman are per fectly awaro of what they are do ing, and that they know Just as wo!l as he does that by turning against their honest convictions they eould receive promotion al most any day? If thoy will not re cant their opinions for the sake of office, why accuse them of "stand . in the shadow of a sot of office seekers driven to deoperatiori by loss of power V" It Is a high tribute to "young men of talent and ambi tion/' as described by the Medium when they refuse to follow "the way to political and judicial hon ors," unless they aro convinced it is the right way. Let our friend try to show that his side is right, whether In the majority or not, aud not seek recruits because there are offices to bestow." Bo far as the Advertiser can recall thero Is not a lawyer In South Carolina who having embracod Tillraanism has not in return had political reward lavished upon him. ?Itls not for us to say "that a young man of talent and ambition may not be a sincere "reformer," but little observation Is needed to con vince any sensiblo and enterpris ing young follow that Tillmanism pays and pays well. A quaker advised his son in these words: "Marry thee not for money, my boy, but go where money Is" and it might be discreet ly enjoined upon t.he young aspi rant for political promotion, "Don't soil your convictions for office, young fellow, but go where the office Is." Now, by the practice1 of such preaching many a man draws po litical dividends but wore it not for a few cranks who adore a deity whom they call principle life would * not be worth living and men would be no better than beasts. Should tho Advertiser bo asked "What's the matter with Murphy ?? it would promptly respond "He's all right,"?right because he is a demoerat according to tho best standards and because he is a bold fellow with a bushel of brains and gentleman withal. Murphy's ap pointment ought to be satisfac tory to every democrat in the State . who isn't a secret and shauyfcfaced votary of another party. It should not be looked upon as merely a factional victory or a proof of Brawloy's prowess, but wo, mean ing every man in the State who voted for Cleveland, have a right > to congratulate ourselves that the ^President has exhibited his usual .judgment in selecting one who* iwell represents all of us. What if JMurphy by vehemently opposing ./ Tillman differed with Brown or Jones or Smith, that is no reason why he is not their comrado in the party ranks and why they should not be glad at his good fortune. The argument for free colnngo of silver is that gold and greenbacks dp not furnish a sufficient medium of exchange. If wo admit its cor rectness wo aro confronted with the fact that ropean nations having only g .d as a standard metal And it ample for commer cial purposes, else they too would clamor for the remonetization of silver. A plausible and perhaps true explanation of this is that de preciation of silver In the United States Is driving American gold to their shores Increasing and ex panding their stock on hand. Will the United States be Insano enough to enrich all Europe and impoverish herself by persisting in tho attempt to g'<e silver a fictit ious value within ner own bounds? Many antis have Insisted upon the appointment of Cleveland men only, to federal offices, but so far as wo know it was In the ease of the Waterloo post office and In no othor that tho idoa of dismissing one compotent demoerat to make room for a new man was even thought of, much less carried into execution. We have no reason to suppose that Mr. Harris will not make a good officer and give satis faction but wasn't the removal of Mr. Anderson a master stroke In the interests of peace aud harmony aud the uniting of the factions and all that sort of thing? If It is possible for tho flat of the United States to make less than one hundred cents worth of silver pass for a dollar it were indeed better that the flat should be at tached to scraps of paper and so save the government the profit that now goes to a few Western miners. But most hut money is a fraud. Some of the Anti papers are roasting Senator Butler, which will do him much less harm than toasting him. "Bfins Dicey Luugston." "IVabody Memorial Day" waa cele >ratod at the Winthrop Train ing School, Columbia, by the read' Ing of sketches of distinguished women of South Carolina, by Ihe pupils. On our first page we reproduce a sketch of uMlss Pamela Cunning bam," by Miss Mary Miller, of Spartanburg. The following, the subject of which was a Laurons woman and a relative of the L?ngstens, Dil lards and other prominent families of the county, was written and read by Miss E. J. Mclntyre. The Advertiser Is Indebted to Superintendent Johnson for a copy of the pamphlet, containing, the sketch together with the others read at tho same time. '?Miss DICEY LANOSTON." "There were many women in South Carolina who distinguished themselves for their bravery du ring the dark days of the Revolu tionary War. Among these was Miss Dicey .Langston, of Laurens District. She was the daughter of Mr. Solomon Langston, and was only sixteen years old at the com mencement of the war. Miss Lang ston's father was a devoted patriot, but could not engage in active service on account of his old ago and lnflrmitios. Living surrounded by Tories, many of whom woro her own relatives, Miss Langston could with comparative ease, dis cover the plans and movoments of the Tories, and never failed to com municate all information immed iately to the Whigs on the oppo site side of the ?noree River. She was ever on the orert, watching every movement of the enemy, and catching every word possible, and in doing this she proved to be of great assistance to the Whigs. The Tories soon became suspicious of the active aid that Dicey was ren dering to her country, and they im mediately warned ner father that henceforth his life and property should be held responsible for her conduct. Her father commanded her to desist from her patriotic ac tions. Miss Langston obeyed this command for some time, but hav ing heard, by some accident, that a company of very cruel Tories in tended to make an incursion on the Elder .settlement, where her brother lived, sho resolved to warn them of their imponding danger. Knowing that her father would ob ject to her scheme, she decided to keep her movements a secret. The journey was long, dreary and diffi cult. When she crossed the Tyger stream, it is said that the water was up to her neck. This alone would suffice to show us her brav ery. However, she poon reachod the end of her journey and made known to her brother tho contem ftinted attack. The warning was mmedlately given to the neigh bors. The next day, when the Tory army reached the Elder settlement, much to their dissatisfaction, they found no one upon whom to wreak their vengeance. "Some time after this occurrence Dicey's father almost fell a victim to a band familiarly known, on ac count of their cruelty, as the "Blood-thirsty Scouts." Mr. Langs ton was the only man at his home, all of his sons being engaged in the great contest. As the Scouts en tered Mr. Langston's house one of them stepped forward and pointed a pistol at the old man's heart. Just then a wild shriek was heard und Miss Langstou sprang forward and clasped her aged father around the neck, declaring that sho would receive the shot first. This heroic act inspired noble feeling even in the heart 0f a - member, of the Bloody Scouts, and he spared the life of her father. "Miss Langston did a great many more deeds of equal bravery. Af the close of the war she married Mr. Thomas Springfield, of Green ville, S. C, and died some years after in that city. At the time of her death she had thirty-two sons and grandsons capable of bearing arms, if need be, to defend the country which was so dear to the heart of their bravo ancestor." Representative Buist claims that Governor Tillman was hissed whilo on a recent visit to Greenville and the Columbia Journal explains that "ie boyT must havo been hissing Buist. xhe Journal lauded on that historic spot where tho "chicken got the ax." It is now proper that Mr. Buist should go under for about the third time. Prof. Kirkland, of Vandorbllt University, has been elected chan cellor of that in dilution. Prof. Kirkland id a South Caro linian and a graduate of WofTord College. His promotion reflects honor upon his state and credit to tho college where ho was edu cated. The talk of Mr. John Gary Evans for Governor suggests the notion that the Tillmanites will perhaps run a full ticket of lawyers next year in order to make their policy of endlos;! litigation a lighter bur don upon the farmers. The Alken Times thinks that county dispensaries should be placed in tho the best and most re spectable quarters of the towns. Why should they not be in the court houses? If any man suspects that there is anything tardy about Charleston, let him cast his eye on her stand ing in the race for the pennant and be greatly undeceived. No, It will not bo Mr. John Gary Evans who will inherit Governor Tlllman's placo in tho movement. Not by any means. Distance lends no enchantment to the view when we consider rail road rates to the World's Fair. If all visitors in Chicago do as Chicago does they will have many added sins still needing Mtoneraont. When the blood is loaded with impurities, tho whole system be comes disordered. This condition of things cannot last long without serious results. In such cases, a powerful alterative is needed, such as Ayer's Sarsaparille. It never iails, and has no equal. Sarrlvor*' Meeting at Greenwood. < ;kki:swoon, Jane 17th.?(Special.)? From the resolutions below it will be seen that the neit Fourth of July will be a big day for Greenwood and South Carolina Survivors. General John b. Gordon will be present to deliver an ad dress to tho Confederate Survivors. Greenwood is proud of being selected as the place of meeting, and extends through this medium a cordial invitation to all Confederate Survivors, rank and tile, to be present. A special committee has been ap pointed to secure special rates and ex cursion trains over all lines passing through Groenwosd from the following points: Columbia, Greenville, Walhalla, Augusta, Spartanba rg, Atlanta, Monroe, and all intermediate points. Trains will arrivo hero at a reasonable hour in tho forenoon and depart in the afternoon or night, as tho occasion may require. Of ficial announcement of schedules over the Richmond & Danville, Port Royal & Western Carolina, and Georgin, Caro lina & Northern Roads will be made soon. Tickets will be sold at greatly reduced rates. In addition to the addresses by Gen'l Gordon and others, thoro will bo in tho afternoon a game of base ball and a bi cycle contest, for which, prizes will be offered to the winners. Wiibubas, tho Survivors of the Sixth South Carolina Cavalry have called a meeting for tho 4th of July . next nt Greenwood for tho purposo of effecting a permanent organization; and, whereas, the citizens of Greenwood and vicinity feel a deep interest in tho movement and dosire to make the occasion enjoya ablo; therefore be it? Resolved. That a free barbecuo bo given to all attending Survivors. 2d, That we extend to all other Con federate veterans who now reside in South Carolina, or once belonged to ono of its-organizations, an invitation to he present and partake of the free barbe cue. 3d, That special invitations bo ex tended to Generals John 13. Gordon, Fitzhugh Leo, James Longstrcot and Stephen D. Lee to be present and con tribute to the si'ccesB of the occasion. 4th, That special invitations be ex tended to Mrs. Col. Hugh Aikeu and Mrs. Maj. T. B. Ferguson to be present and becomo the guests of tho town of Greenwood. (Signed) T. F. Riley, Chairman General Committee. j. L. Cakk, Secretary. Brother Comrades of the Sixth South Carolina Cavalry: Being tho oldest surviving officer'of tho Third Squadron of the Sixth South Carolina Cavalry, I tako tho liberty of urging all members of said Squadron to attend tho re-union of nur Regiment at Greenwood on the 4th of July next. I also tako tho liberty to urgo all other members of tho Regiment to attend. This is the first attempt since the war at a ro-union of tho Regiment, and wo should show to tho good people of Greenwood our high appreciation of their friendship and liberality ; besides it will do us all great good to meet and renew old acquaintance and communo together in brotherly love. Most faithfully, J. Milts Sullivan, Capt. Co. D, Sixth S. C. Cavalry. C. A. Thompson, Seymour, Ind., Ind., writes: "My sister Jennie, when she was a young gfrl, suf fered from white swelling, which greatly impaired her general health and made her blood veiy impure. In the spring sho was not able to do anything and could-scarcely got about. More than a year ago she took three bottles of Botanic Blood Balm, and now she is perfectly cured." "I was deaf for a year, caused by catarrh in the head, but was per fectly cured by Hood's Sarsapa rille." H. Hicks, Rochester, N. Y. Cost of the Silver Folly. Washington, Juno^.,43.--ia a statement concerning the Operation of the Sherman Sliver Act, Secre tary Carlisle said to-day Hint under this Act tiiero have been coined $29,408,431 which makes tho total coinage of silver dollars, under all Acts since 1878, $419,204,835, or more than fifty times as much as was coined during the previous pe riod of eighty one years. The Secretary of tho Treasury has purchased under tho Act of July 14, 1890, and now holds in the vaults of the treasury, uncoined, 124,292,532 fine ounces of silver bul lion, which cost tho peop'e of the United Status $114,290,920, and is worth to-day at tho market price of silver $10:1,411,880, thus showing a loss of JMO,888,ooO. Tho records of tho treasury de partment show that during the cloven mouths beginning May 1, 1892, and ending May 31, 1893, the Issue of treasury notes for tho pur chase of silver bullion under the Act of July 14, 1899, amounted to $49,901,184, und during tho same period the iwnount of such notes paid in gold whs $47,745,178. It thus appears that all the sil ver bullion purchased during that tllrfo except $2,210,011 worth was paid Tot in gold, while the bullion itself is stored in (he vaults of (he treasury and can neither bo sold nor used for the payment of any kind of obligation. How long the Government can thus be compelled"1 to purchase silver bullion and in crease the public debt by issuing coin obligations in payment for It is a question which Congress alone can answer. It is evident that if tills policy is continued and the Secretary of the Treasury shall be compelled to is sue bonds or otherwise increaso the interest bearing public debt it will bo for tho purposo of procur ing gold with which to pay for sli ver bullion purchased undor the Act referred to. As a blood purifier, the most em inent physicians prescribe Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It Is the most power ful combinatjotfof vegetable alter atives ever offered to the public. As a spring and family medicine, it may bo freely used by old and young alike. UR. HATHAWAY & 00. .^?-SPECIALISTS-^. (Regular Graduate,*.)
