VA4 1A AU ELBERT H. AULL, EDITOR. ELBERT H. AULL, Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL, NE WB E RRY, S. C, THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 18 0 THE DAVIS MEMORIAL. It has been now several weeks sime the death and burial of Jefferson Davis. The memorial services in connecaor with his death held throughout the South were the grandest and most in 1 posing possibly ever held in any time orcountry in honor and memory of a !r private citizen. About this time too it was generall3 talked, and some steps were taken looking to the raising of a fund to builk a monument to his memory. It seems now all to have passed away, and we hear nothing of the monument nor o the fund. We would like to know i anything is being done, and what Surely we are not going to do as the people of the North did in regard to the Grant monument. The Confederate Survivors Associa. tion of Newberry was to appoint a committee, which committee was tA look after raising our part and contribu. tion towards this monument fund What has been done? The memorial service in Newberr: was well attended, and everything wa nicely and eloquently said and hand somely done. It is well to be reminde< of this service again, and thus reviv the interest in the fund for the erectior - of the monument. In this connection we want to pub lish the beautiful and eloquent addre of Geo. B. Cromer, Esq., in opening th memorial services held in Newberry. We have already given a brief synop sis of the other addresses, and this on should be preserved, and we hope thu to renew the interest in this occasion and therefore in this connection giv the address of Mr. Cromer in full. While it is true that MAr. Davis be longed toa past that, in the estimatiol of many, is dead, and was the head an< embodiment of a cause that is some times termed a "lost cause," yet it is : past and a cause that should not b forgotten by us. We should cherish it and honor the noble ien who gav their lives to it, and teach our childrei to do the same. OPENING ADDRESS OF G EO. B. CROMEl MAYOR, AT DAVIS MEMOR-AL MEETING IN THE OPERA HOUSE, NEWBERRY, S. C., DECEMBER 11TH, 18'9. My Fellow Citizens:-A long an< -eventful life has run its course. Th stoutest defender of the cause for whic] this flag was unfurled, and most illus trious champion of those who wore th gray has folded his hands in peace *Jefferson Davis has "crossed over th river," and, in the midst cf Lee ane Jackson, and countless others whi wore the gray, is quietly resting "il the shade of the trees." And to-da: when the requiem of death is soundin: .- and the dirge of tolling belis is heard when even the pen of criticism sheathed for the moment, and th tongue of detraction has lost its bittez ness-it is meet and proper that we a *this- beautiful Southland should assemn -ble to pay the tribute of lov'ing an< sorrowing hearts to the memory of ou dead chieftain. What a life has ended ! When th historian of the future shall come with out bitterness in his heart, but with th truth on his lips, to tell the story of tha life, and the cause to which it wa given, the children of the Souther1 Confederacy will render devout thanks giving to Heaven, that such a life wa devoted to such a cause. What brilli ancy of intellect ! What powers o argumentation ! What skill an< sagacity in war! What breadth a statesmanship ! But, 0, my country men, above all, what devotion to dut; and fidelity to principle! What loyalt: to his friends and to his cause ! In wa -as in peace, in public station as in th quiet of domestic retirement, in prisoi -and in shackles, he has given us th example of a heroic life as stainless a the sword of Lee-as pure as the caus to which that life was devoted. Yes it is meet that we should cherish hi memory. And it is meet and honorabli that we should teach our children an< our children's children, in the unnumn bered coming years, to bring to thi grave of Jefferson Davis sprays o rosemary, and lay them there "fo remembrance." Hon. Calvin S. Brice who has beez recently elected United States Senato from Ohio has for the past five year: Jived in New York, though it is sai< continued to vote, if he voted at all, ii Ohio. Some of the papers have beex pitching into Mr. Brice and the Demo cratic legislators of Ohio right heavily - -'-n addition to this question of eligibili ty it is further charged that his electior cost him about five hundred thousan< dollars, which means of course, tha some of the Ohio legislators accepte< and received some of M r. Brice's nmone' for their vote;. Of cours? all this is denied by Mr Brice himself. However this miay be, it is true tha we are getting ouite a number of ried men in the United States Senate Whether wve are reaching in the make up of this body a plutocracy or not, w< will not say, but the purchase of higl offices should be condemned, whethe: it be done by Democrats or Republicans The debate in the United States Sen ate on the negro question is raising th( the question of a sectional issue. Sena tor Ingalls delivered a bitter speecd against the South and Southern people He admitted it was a difficult problem and should not be a sectional one, bul - one that concerned the people of the whole country. Among other things he is reported as saying: "Four solution of the problem, he said, had been sugoested-emigration, ex termination, aTsrption and disfran. chisement. But there was a fifth so. loution, which had never been tried, and that solution was justice. Stack your guns: open. your ballot boxes; reg ister your votes, black and white, and -.~if, after the experiment has been fairly is incapable of civilization, if it appea that tbe complexion burnt on him I an Indian sun is incompatible wit freedom, I will pledge myself to coi sult with you about some measure solving the race problem. But un1 then nothing can be done. The cil zenship of the negro riust be absolute recognized. His right to vote must I admitted and the ballots cast must 1 honestly counted. These are the E sential preliminaries and conditioi precedent to any consideration of tl ulterior and fundamental question race supremacy or race equality in tl United States, North or South." That solution has been tried by tl people as the Greenville News sa "under the managementof Mr. Ingal party, when it had much more pow and brains than it has now, or is like to have in the future." For eight yea the negro had the free use of the hall and the control of it in South Carolin During that time they gave us a Sta government that will go down in h tory as among the most corrupt t world Pvcr saw. Any solution of ti problem, any plan that looks to pt ting the State government in the han of the negro had just as well not bed cussed, for the people will never aga submit to it. And the great mass the colored people do not desire it, I they are more prosperous than th have ever been since their freedom. If that is what Mr. Ingalls inten by his fifth plan he had just as well r waste his eloquence. A TRUE THOUGHT BEAUTIFULLY E PRESSED. Col. Robert G. Ingersoll in a spee in New York used the following bea tiful language: "When another co: mits a fault it is a great dead tree h decayed, bare and hideous, but wh we do it ourselves, oh, my God ! thi of the reasons, climbing around it li a thousand clinging vines coveri with soft loveliness every branch a - twig." 3 This "a thought worthy of a phil opher, put in the language of ti poetry." The more one thinks of the tru , contained in these words the m< 3 forcibly is he impressed with it. Hi easy it is to see the faults of our nei bor, and how hideous do they appe On the other hand how hard a thing is for us to see our own faults and ev when they are made plain, how ma excuses are offered for them. It is i - a difficut thing to see the mote in < brother's eye, but it is a very diffic thing to see the beam in our of eye. How ready are- we always to fi fault with another and to criticise 1 actions unfairly and unjustly ma times, but when we do the same thii if we are convinced that it is not E actly the proper thing, how many E cuses are always ready. If there could be less faultfinding a more of that charity which would of the same excuse for the shortcomir of our brother that is always ready ourselves, how much better it woi be for us and for the world. If we would spend more time looking after our own faults and des ing ways and means to correct the and let our neighbor look after his,t world would .soon become better a we would be happier. THE DEADLY PIsTOL. SMr. Jesse Thompson, a proinn business man of Augusta, and a3 -Norrell, of Midville, Ga., had so: fwords, in which the lie was passed, a - Mr. Norrell was knocked down by 3 t Thompson, whereupon Mr. Nor2 - drew his pistol and shot Mr. Thon son, probably fatally. This affair le: the Augusta Chronicle to say 301 plain things about the deadly pist and the hat'it of carrying it, whi things are very true. So long as m carry the deadly pistol, men will killed, for that is what it is made f and we can see no other object carrying it. And so long as put sentiment approves the habit it is u less to enact laws against carrying We give herewith what the Chroni fdoes say: "What we have to say is in a gene way condemnatory of the atrocic barbarity that characterizes our re tions to each other as fellow-citize and members of society. The cowardly idea prevails that t deadly pistol must wipe out a wor insult or blow. We regret to say that public opini is so unhealthy as to justify a mur< committed under the smallest provo< tion. It is almost impossible to convict man of murder who has the slight excuse to use the deadly pistol. Inde we doubt whether a man who 1 money or social position could be oc vieted of murder in Georgia or Sou Carolina. FThis is a dread ful condition of affai As long as men carry pistols mur< will be committed. The pistol 'tot is an enemy to the State. The man w habitually~carries a pistol is a cowal Public opinion needs to assert its< Society needs to protect itself. The I tol bully should be abated. The mnan who slays his brother, cept to defend his own life, should hung." Last Saturday was the anniversz of the birth of Robert Burns, the gr poet of Scotland. "Scotish clubs a literary societies should celebrate each year by appropriate observan fr sweeter singer never set nob words to diviner music," sayst Augusta Chronicle. Anniversaries:a good things, and we should celebr: great events so as to recall her< actions and noble lives. Then there : anniversaries that call to mind sadn< and sorrow. This is well, too, for I should not, if it could, be all smil. The tears and the sorrows of life necessary to the proper development character. This day, the 30th of January, is sad anniversary to this editor. O year ago a bright little life, of ser happy summers wvent out from c home. These sad anniversaries cor into every household. The great wo moves on unmindful of these thinl and it is well it is so, but in the qui of every household these oever recurrii anniversaries bring with them th< sad- recollections while life lasts. The great bustling world, when tl grief is fresh, will speak a word of syr pathy, or possibly drop a tear, and all forgotten, but to those who sorrow t1 grief is ever fresh, and even time. ti Igreat healer of grief, cannot wipe o the sadness and the sorrow on these s: anniversaries. rs PRESIDENT SHELL'S ADDEESS. Y We publish this week the address of Capt. G. W. Shell of Laurens, as the of President of the Farmers' Association of South Carolina. We do not know whether President Shellspeaks oflicial ly or whether he is writing individu e ally. We must say that we think the s- address contains sonic critieiitms that s are harsh and unjust. Certainly no good citizen of South Carolina will ob e ject to reforms that are for the good of the people. But we do not like to see ie grave charges preferred against thosa Ys who are in office unless the charges are Is' substantiated by the facts. It can dc er no good to the cause Mr. Shell assumes ly to speak for. .rs The Clemson College has been estab (t lished and we can see no good to comE a. from preferring charges against thos( te who did not favor its establishment is- They were possibly conscientious it he the stand they took. The thing to d< 'is now it seems to us is for every friend o it- the college to go to work and make thi ds college a success and thus demonstrat< is- the wisdom of its establishment. Thi .in cannot be done by abuse and viiifica of' tion. or We want to see the farmers succeed ey Upon their success depeads the sue cess of the country. Whatever wil ds. benefit them we are in favor of tha ot thing. If reform is needed in the Uni versity or in any other State institu tion point out where it is needed, an< we will help to bring it about. No body objects to the farmers meet ch ing and suggesting a ticket. So far a we are concerned we have no objectioi m- to accepting their recommendation a alf the nominees of the Democratic part; en whatever it may be. nk We are all interested in the develop ke ment of our State of whatever profes ng sion we belong, but we want to see al ud good citizens working together for thi end. and we do not see what good cai os- come of abusing without proof. -ue - - In regard to the negro question not th \agitating the country, the St. Loui >re Republic says: )w "The negro is not a question, as som h- people in the United States Senat ar, seem to believe. Instead of being .' question, he is a negro, and the onl: t question is of ways to make him a bet en ter negro than he is already. If he i ny made a partisan issue, it will result ii lot making him pernanently a wors negro. As a negro, lie can live in th ur United States in contentment an, Ait prosperity, a benefit to hiniself and t vn the country. As a partisan issue h cannot live so in any State of th rid Union." is But tbat is just the trouble, the negr is a partisan issue, and will be as lon: ny aa he has the free exercise of the frar 1g, chise. And the great majority of hi Mt pretended friends at the North are onl, friends so long as they can make him partisan issue. Vd er The fund for the erection of a mont igs meat to Henry W.

Jan. 27.-The trial of Mrs. Cora Scales Mor:is for the murder of her husband last August, which has been in progress at Wentworth, in Rck ingham County, several days, ended to day in the acquittal of the accused. The case has attracted scarcely less interest throughout the State than the Maybrick and Kniftn cases. Mrs. Morris is a niece of ex-Governor Scales, and is a young woman of unusual beauty. Mr. and Mrs. Morris resided at Reidsville, and had been married only about eight months at the time of his death. They did not live bappily. The fact came out during the trial that Mrs. Morris, a few days before her hus band's death, bought two ounces of chlo roform from a druggist in Riedsville. Two weeks before Mr. Morris's death his wife proposed that he will her all of 1is property and insure his life in her favor for $10,00). So des;-ous was Mr. Mor ris of wioring her affections that he ac ceded. Toe will was executed and the policy for $10,000 taken out with the Muoal Be'efit Life Insurance company, of Newark, N. J. On the mo: ring of the der.th of Mr. Mo -ris an empty chloro-orm bottle was found in his room, avd also a handker cl'ef saturated with it. Stroug evidence was given against the accused, and the defense ofFered no eNidence whatever. I There was a general convictioo, how ever, that a verd'ct of "not guilty" wou'd be brought. Argument was closed to-day at noon, and the jury was onry out five minutes and brought in a verdict of "not I guilt.." Mrs. Morris was perfectly calm and composed, and seemed to expect the ver dict to be what it was. General gratifi cation at the result is reported to e:ist at Reids :lle.

C., Jan. 28.-Pro fessor Austin Phelps, ofAndover,Mass., writes as follows to J. C. Hemphill, ed itor of The News and Courier : "I wish to thank you for the courtesy and candor of your criticisms on my remarks upon Mr. Grady's speech at the Vendome at Boston. If I were able I should like to pursue the subject in your columns. I should admit some things, and it seems to me that I could prove some other things to the satisfac tion of such a man as you must be, but I live with more than one foot in the grave. It is seldom that I can use my pen with any force, except when I breathe the ozone of my summer home at Bar Harbor. NO BELIEVER IN NEGRO SUFFRAGE. "I have never believed in negro suf frage. Senator Sumner never made a graver blunder than driving the act which legalized it through Congress. It was not an act of statesmanship-it was a flurry of desperation. The only pal liation is the fact that in the struggle for its existence the nation was brought into a supreme exigency in which everybody felt that something must be done, yet could not tell anybody what to do. The thing which was done struck nature a blow in the face, and for that she always gives a return blow in a grand rage. We are sure in such an encounter to get the worst of it. That is what we are suffering to-day, and what the end will be God only knows. I shall not be here to see it, but it would not surprise me if it cost the nation more blood than the civil war did. RETRIBUTiON. "Retributions of national wrong doings are on a great scale. You think ing men of the South have the sympa 1hy of every thinking man at the Nerth. Fifty years ago Professor Moses Stuart, of Andover Theological seminary, a personal friend of;Calhoun. forsaw judt the present deadlock of affairi and tr)ld me that he saw no final solution, but the surrender of two or three states to the exclusive possession of the colored race. But I have never been able to see that Christianity cannot make two colors in prolific races live peacefully together as nature adjusts the colors in the rainbow." Nelly Bly Completes Her Trip. NEW YORK, Jan. 2.5.-Miss Nellie Bly has completed her trip around the world. She accomplished the task in seventy two days, six hours and eleven minutes, having covered during her travels a distance of 23,000 miles. Miss Bly reached Jersey city over the Pennsylvania railroad at 3.51 this even ing, and was given a hearty reception by the crowd of friends and admirers who had gathered to greet her. The whistles of the steam craft on the river gave her a noisy welcome as she crossed the ferry, and salutes fired from Battery park and Fort Greene park, Brooklyn, added to the din. At New York she held a reception at the World office on her arrival. Bishops of the A. X. E. Church. CHAR.ESTON. Jan. 28.-The bench of bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church convenes here to morrow. Every bishop of the church, which is confined mostly to the South ern and Western States, is expected to be present and the conferense is ex pected to be an important one. The race problem will be one of the leading. topics of discussion. Many of the bish ops have already arrived and others are expected by to-nmorrow's trains. The meeting is looked forward to with in terest by both races. Death of Captain E. B. Treutien. [News and Courier, 27th.] Captain E. B. Treutlen of Columbia, S. C., for the past four years a post office inspector and Chief of the Port land Division, Portland, Oregon, died at Salt Lake City, Utah, to-day of typhoid fever. Captain Treutlen had made a splendid reputation in the ser vice of the government, and was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. He was for several years, pre vious to engaging in the government service, Captain of the Columbia Fly ing Artilery. His numerous friends throughout the State will mourn his loss. The relatives and friends of the deceased in this city are cast down by the sad intelligence. Pension Matters. It will be of interest to many to learn that the first instalment of State pen sions for the present year will be paid about the 15th of Marcb. The whole amount will this year be paid in two equal installments, the first as stated, the second about the 15th of June. As there are now about 2,000 pensioners on the rolls, and about $48,000 of the $50,000 appropriated will be available for this purpose, each pensioner will receive $24 for the year, in two warrants of $12 each. As previously warrants have been made out for each month paid, usually eight or nine, there will be a great saving of clerical labor, the difference between making out 16,000 and 4,000 warrants.

The scales would dirou off oi me all the time, and my su tierin%; was endless and wiihout relief. One ihousan'd dollars would dot t empt me to have this di.sease over again. I am a poor man, i>ut:eet ,'ich to be relieved of whbaLsome of the doctors said was leprosy, some ring worm, psoriasis, etc. I took . . .and... Sarsaparilias over one year aud a halt, but no cure'. I cannot praise the CeTicURA RtE.M EMEss too much. They have matie my skin as clear and free from scales as a ',aby's. All 1 used of them were three boxes of C,-TICVRA, and three bottles of CU'TIcURA REsoLVENTr, and two cakes of CUTICURA SOAP. If you had be.-n here and said you wo Id have cured me for $200.00, you would have had the money. I looked like the picture in your book of psoriasis (ituire number two. "How to Cure Skini Diseases"), but nuow -1 am as clear as any person ever was. Through force of habit 1 rub my hands over my arms and legs to scratch once in a while, but to no purpose. I am all well. I scratched twenty eight years. and it got to be a kind of seeond nature to me. I thank you a thou sand tImes DENNIS DOWNING, Waterbury, Vt. Cuticura Resolvent.
