There is an opening In South Car olina for a good and great man, who can inspire the people in the country and in the towns with con fidence in his honesfness and disin terested patriotism. He Is needed as a healer of political wounds that somebody has dealt and which gapo most ptteously. , It to unnatural that country folks should feel that there Is a barrier between themselves and their kin dred who happen to dwell in com munities where lots instead of plan tations Join. In South Carolina there is no "money power." We are all together dependent upon the price of cotton and whim it drops, merchants, shop-keepers, lawyer* and mechanics drop with it. In those times when farmers are hardest pressed for money, failures and financial embarass raent are least uncommon among business men and there' is not a tradesman or banker in Laurenn, but who is eager to see the farmers prosperous, solvent and growing in wealth. Political questions it fleet us all alike. A contraction in the cur , rency for instance would fall no less heavily on the laborer behind the counters than ott the laborer in the river bottoms nod the taking off of protective jfrport duties would bring tho sam?a roliof to tho cotton producer aaJRj the manipu lators of scissors und yard sticks. After living a hundred yours in united appreciation of this state of things it is cruel and scandalous that insidious*efforts have been successfully made to separate our people and to Incense them against each other. It is shameful above ail execration that men go about in tho diligent endeavor to teach farmers that their own people are conspirators aud oppressors. If there were an Apostle among us now he would preach charity. He would proclaim that a man's opposition to the free coinage of Iver was no evidence of that n's being a thief or a robber or be taker. He would declare man's belief in tho dispen v should not compromise \ fanatic or a fool. He tc*h upon us all tho les ?aranee and tolerance d learn that it is easy n harmony however 'ons as to matters ncy my differ. t just over set r lawyers are d down-trod ? o land. It ccupation evident iqueez ??ofes ?i to ill CHARITY, An l 'sH?y Head by Mis* Fannie Wood* Before the Union Meeting atllabun Creek Church on July ?th Ult. The great question of antiquity as of the modern world Is; What is the supreme good, the supremo Rift?the noblest object of] desire! Faith has been the key note for centuries. Hope, like the gleaming taper's light, adorns our pathway. "In faith and nope tho world will dis agree, Hut all mankind's concern Is Charity.' Faith may be lost in sight, hope in fruition, but charity Is eternal, turning each angel's voice to one accord, blending into one the indi viduality of each blood brought soul. It is a principle of prevailing love to God/and good will to men, which Inclines us to glorify Qod and do good to others. Charity is the greatest of all the Christian graces, and contains beautiful characteristics almost In numerable; like the sun it bright ens every object on which it rests, find cheers evory abode of man. His tne soul of social life. In the Iiaront It is care, in the children it s revorence and submission; in a friend it is faithfulness; it is public spirit in tho magistrate; it is pa tience in the Judge, and loyalty in the subject. It teaches to despisn no one, to comfort tho afflicted, to protect tho oppressed; it inspires forgiveness toward our enemies; forms gentle ness of temper, and prompts a cor responding sympathy with those who rejoice and those who weep. True charity breathes of univer sal liberality; it is not properly a single virtue, but a disposition re siding in the heart as u fountain from whence all virtu? of benign ity, forbearance, generosity, com passion and liberality flow as so many native streums. Charity teaches us to be liberal in all our sentiments; for liberality in the profession of religion is u wise and innocent policy. The charitable Christian goes nut of his own church, associates with others and gains improvement by all. How wise Is tho old Persian proverb, UA liberal hand is better than a strong arm." The dignity of Christianity is better supported l>y acts of liberality, than by accu racy of reasoning but when both go together, when the heart is full of charity, there is strength and beauty. In the great circle of human af fairs there is room enough for everyone to be busy in loving and giving unto the Lord. In all the various relations in this life as husband and wife, master and ser vant, parents and children, rela tions and friends, rulers and sub jects, innumerable duties stand ready to be performed, innumera ble calls to activity present them selves on every hand, sufficient to fill up with advantage and honor the whole time of life. Everywhere we meet with sor row and pain, poverty and distress, which we must endeavor to re lieve. Groat results may crown our feeblest efforts. Our weakest endeavors may bo a germ of giant power. Remember, we all have a power for good, and the small still voice of kindness, the cheering words of comfort, the little influences of love rule tho world of affections, and are ours for salvation. "Do not, then, sit idly waiting, For some greater deed to do, Speak tho word that cures tho aching, Look tho look that lifts the soul." Sublimely beautiful were the teachings of charity In the life of Jesus. His mission was one of love and ours must be too. It is love that banishes sorrow, dis perses clouds, purifies pain, in spires hope and explains God, be cause "God is love." Love is immortality and the only way to bring home this beau tiful doctrine to those who believe it not, is for us who are Christians to be rightly immortal now. To do this we must spend our life in do ing good to others in the service of Ihriit, and so prepare for the ages at are to follow. lay we cultivate that charity 'ch auffereth long and is kind," ? "thinketh no evil," "is not provoked." These are tho hat will nover bo lost, but ith us into another world. M-tili/e our minds with f charity, which never 'Igor and happiness to veave for ourselves ?ble deeds ot lovo ">rn our path on fragrance rise to IB Woods, Essayist. der of the to gather Is much some ?)\ng for V A Mortifying Incident. Senator Irby arrived hero by tho Atlantic Coast Lino at 7 o'clock this morning, and had to ho assisted from the sleeper by tho porter. I le marched out throuh tho ladjes' wait ing room with a pistol in his hand, flourishing it about like a madman and as he emerged from tho waiting room tho muzzle of his pistol was so directly pointed at a negro hack man that it frightened him nearly out of hiswits. Ho loft his hack and ran for his life, seeking shelter behind the cor ner of tho dining hull. Another h'Jtckman, at whom he pointed his pistol after tho first had taken frght, helped him into tho hack of the first one, and he alleges that the Senator had another pistol in his hip pocket The affrighted hack man who iled returned to his hack after finding that he had a passenger not of his solicitation, and drove Senator Irby to tho Govener's mansion. He says that soon after leaving tho Union shed Senator Irby went to sleep with his feet hanging over his front seat of tho hack, with his head hanging partly out over tho sido of tho carriage. When ho readied tho mansion he is said to have drawn his pistol and put it in the face of the backman while he paid him his fare. Tho incident oecured at an hour when tho police uro changing their squads, therefore, none of them were present. Hearing of the Inci dent the chief of police directed one of his men to investigate the case, and if true to summon him to ap pear before tho mayor. Finding four competent witnesses ho made a case in tho City Court record for to-morrow, but Senator Irby left for Laurcns on the 11 o'clock train. Should ho return hero tho police will summon him to appear to an swer the charge of drunkenness and careless handling of firearms. ?News and Courier, 20th Inst. #100 Howard, 8100.
