A MASS MEETING HELD
OVER AN EDITOR,
01IAILGED WITH SCANDJEIUNG SALUDA
WOMEN.
01tisons Demand an A pology-The Sentinel
- Iefuses to Print Rotraction prepared
by Uonnittee--Trouble
Brbwiug.
[Special to The State.]
Saluda, Dec. 30.-Otr town hos
been considorably stirred up for the
past ten dayo. Tho cause of tho
trouble is the following looIs which
appeared in the Saluda Sentinel on
the 18th inst.:
"There are some of the lowest gos.
sipy women in Saluda as has ever. in
fested a town. They sneak around
and lie and siander the iunocent.
The worst part is, that decen , pcoplo
listen to and give erodenee to such
lies. How much nobler would it be
if they would demand of these low
down, lying gossips the proof or an
oxposure if they fail to give it. If
one or two could be made examples
of, their lying tongues tongues could
be silenced."
"Thc L3male liar is atalKring abro-d
in Saluda, but sooner or later she
will be run down."
After the appoarance of these items,
the people talk_l of the matter and
on the night of the 20th a citizens'
meeting was had. At that meetintig
the preamble and resolutions here not
out were unanirouIly adopted:
"At a meeting of the citizens of
the town of Saluda, S. C., bold in
the oilloo of Mr. 13. I. Smith, county
treasurer, on the evening of the 19th
day of Decomber, 1901, the follow
ing preamble and resolutions wore
unanimously adopted:
"Whereas, in the Saluda Sentinel
of December 18th, 1901, two articles
or locals reflecting upon the Ifidies of
the town of Saluda appearod and it
appeared that said articles came from
the pen of H. S. Cunningham, editor
and proprietor of said pz'per, and,
"Whereas, we consider the state
mento made in said articles to be
slanderous and feel that same are
undeserved and uncalled for:
"Therefore, be it resolved by the
citizens of the town of Saluda, S. (1..
"First, That a committee of three,
to ba appointed by the chairman of
this meeting, wait uprn H. S. Cun
ningham as soon as convenient and
demand of him that in the next issue
of his paper he publish over his sig
nature an apology for and retraction
of the articles above referred to,
which said apology and retraction
shall be prepared by said committee.
"Second, That if the said H. S.
Cunningham fails, neglects or re
fuses to sign and publieh the above
* apology and retraction above men
tioned that then and in that event
the said committee demand of the
said H. S. Cunningham the name or
names of the female or females re
ferred to in the next issue of his
paper.
"Third, That the report of said
committee shall be made to the chair
man of this meeting who shall have
the power to call this meeting to
gether again if he deems it neces
sary."
ji These resolntions were signed by
S25 citizens, among them being the
two ministers of the town.
Messrs. E. C. Turner, J. B. Cole
man and J. iR. Crawford were ap
pointed on the committee and on the
following morning they, with Dr. 3.
W. Pitta, chairman of the citizens'
meeting, called on Mr. Cunningham
<,and presented the resolutions.
-Your correspondent is informed by
Dr. Pitts that Mr. Cunningham
agreed to publish in the coming issue
of his pape ',he apology and retrac
tion demanded.
On Tuesday night last, just as The
Sentinel was going to press, Messrs.
Pitts, Turner and Coleman having
learned that the apology and retrac
tion was not in the paper, again
called on Mr. Cunningham. They
demanded the publication of what
the resolutions called, either the re
traction and apology, or the name or
names of the female or females re
f.erred to. It is said Mr. Cuauing;
ham agreed to name t he 'ndies, andl
informed the committee -that there
* are three of them.
Here is the apology or explanation
which was and is now in The Sonti
nel:
"I am rorry that the publicat.i,.n
of the article referred to in the reso
lutions above have been so miscon
strued as to call forth the above pro
amble and resolutions. And, in the
beginning of this statement will say
to the ladies of Saluda, that I have
too high a regard and esteem for
them as to impute any such charge
to them. On the other hand, I was
confronted with a rumor, a more ru
nor, so it seems now, that could not
be located by those who told me of
the rumor, except that it must have
litarted from the gossip of women. I
failed utterly to locate the source
and those who told me of it, informed
me that they are as ignorant of its
sonrco as I am. Thorefore my solo
reason for wiiting the squibs, was to
let the designing person or persons
know that sooner or later their evil
report would be run down.
"Since the above has been put in
type, I have been informed by three
prominent business men of Saluda,
that they are satisfied in their own
mindti that the report did not origin
ato from any woman, and we apolo
gizo to the ladies for anything that I
have said in the issue of the 18th
that may possibly. have been con
strued as reflecting upon thom.-H.
8. Cunningham."
After this last call the three gen
tlemen left the office of The rintitel
and announced that the names of
three ladios would appear in the pa
per as the females referred to in the
locals of the preceding issue. Every
one was on tiptoo with anxiety and
longing for the paper to be published.
It was announced that this was to
be done Thursday night. But at the
appointed time no paper came from
the pross. Finally on Friday after
noon those interested found in The
Sentinel the resolutions above set
out, the apology of the editor and
the following additioatil:
"The readers of the Sentinel will
attribute, no doubt, the delay in get
ting out this week's issue to Christ
mas. Such is not the case. The
paper was being issued on time last
Thursday evening when I was inter
rupted in my work by Dr. J. W.
Pitts and Messrs. Ed Turner and
Joe Ben Coleman, who demanded
that I take out the explanation and
apology I have given and insert in
stead, a typewritten apology pre
pared by a committee. They fur
thermore demanded that I put not a
word of explanation of my own in
my defense bearing on the subject.
I kept cool and tried to reason with
them upon the high handed meas
ures they were taking. They said
the citizens demanded it, but when I
called on them to give the names of
the citizens, they refused to do so
and said that nothing short of pub.
lishing the retraction and apology as
they had written it-or the names of
the female or females-would satis
fy them; that if I publiehed it as it
was I would do so at my peril.
"I told them I had carefually framed
my explanation in order not to bring
to public gaze the name of a most
highly respected lady in Saluda,
whose sole and only purpose in get
ting mixed up in the false rumor was
to put it down as f dlse.
"Since thinking the matter over I
have resolved not to make public the
lady's name, especially now that it
is conceded that the malicious slan
der did not originate among women.
"So I thought discretion the bet
ter :'rt of valor, and sinco I could
not go on peaceably with the publi
cation as it was, but would bring on
a clash that may have proven fatal
to my innocent daughters at work
with me in the offlce, and as it was
Christmas eve night and a noisy
crowd on the streets, I quietly closed
my office door and took my girls
home.
"I have submitted the charges and
my reply to two of the beet lawyers
in the State, and to Gov. McSweeney
himself, who say they cannot see
why any reasonable mindod man
w~told not be saliinhd with it.
"I am a law-abiding eltizen. 1.
have done all that a self-respecting
gentleman can do. A nd if mye a
planation Is not satisfactory, then
there is a redress in the law.
"Through justice to thoso citizens
who did not tako part in the citizens'
meeting, I will state that there are
50 or more prominent citizens of the
town of Saluda who did not take any
part in that meeting.-H. S. Cun
ningham."
Your correspondent called on Dr.
Pitta and ioquired of that gentleman
as to the intention of the committee
in the matter. Iis reply verbatim
was this:
"The committeo, in my opinion, will
call the citizons together again. I
feel that this is proper under t ho
terms of the rosolutions. I havo not
seen all the members yet but this is
the opinion of those to whom I have
mentioned th,) matter."
"Let us also 13ay," stated the do
tor, "that this committee had no idea
of doing any violence to Mr. Cun
ningham when we called on him
Tuesday night. We went to him at
gentlemen and he had no reason to
believe that any personal injury was
to he done him, or that a clash would
be had. Individually I have always
felt friondly towards Mr. Cunning
ham, but I do not think I or the mon
of the town should permit their
wives, daughters and sisters to be in
sulted by an article in a paper or by
any other method. This is a matter
for the citizens of the town alone and
we do not care for the advice or opin
ion of any outside lawyers or Gov.
McSweenoy in regard thereto."
"I would like," continued the doc
tor, "to make this statement also in
regard to Mr. Cunningham's state
mont that 50 prominent people of
the town did not take any part in
the meeting held. Two or three did
tho inviting and as the meeting was
gotten up hurriedly, we did not have
time to invito all the citizens. Of
those invited all came, except one
gentleman who was sick, and lie tf
terwards sigA.,d the resolutions. One
m1a nA, a closo friend and i,o.xt
door neighbor to Mr. Cunninghan,
refused to sign the resolntionH."
THE 00MMITT1. E ENDOUSED.-S ALUDA OIT
IZENS PASS RESOLUTIONS APPROVINO
THEIR ACTION.
[Special to The State.]
Saluda, S. C., Dec. 31.-Another
act in the Cunningham drama was
played last night. About 30 citizens
met in County Treasurer Smith's of
fice in response to the call of Dr. J.
W. Pitts, chairman of the citizens'
committee.
It was stated that the meeting was
held for the purpose of hearing the
report of the committee appointed to
wait on Mr. Cunningharm. The re
port was submitted by Mr. J. B. Cole
man.
Then Mr. R. L. Ramey offered
the following resolution:
"Resolved, by the citizens of the
town of Salnds, in meeting assemn
bled:
First, That we endorse the action
of Dr. J. W. Pitts, chairman, and
Messrs. E. C. Turner, J. B. Coleman
and J. 1R. Crawford, the committee,
who waited on H. D. Cunningham."
"Second, That we tender our
thanks to the above named gentle
men for the faithful manner in which
they discharged the unpleasant diu
ties assignedi to them, and for their
gallantry in defending the good la
dies of the town from insult and slan
der."
B. W. Crouch, Esq., moved to
amend by striking out all after the
word "gallantry." He stated that
he was glad he was present at the
former meeting,
"But you loft too soon," interrupted
Mr. H. C. White, a brave old Con
federate soldier and good citizen.
Which remark received loud applause
(Mr. Crouch dlid not remain at the
former meeting to vote on the reso.
lutions adopted, and afterward re
fused to sign his name thereto.)
Jndge of Probate W. S. Crouch
favored the amendment.
Messrs. B3. R. Smith and E. S.
Blease opposed it and the latter
moved to table. This motion was
carried by a vote of 21 to 5. and the
ros('t19ionsI wire adopted.
Mr. WV. I) 'errv 'hen prese:.. d
this resolution:
"Resolved, That wa endrse a ndA
opprove the notion of the trusteos of
Saluda school district in demanding
the resignation of H. S. Cunningham
as principal of the Saluda school."
Trusteo Foy stated that Mr. Can
ningham's resignation was asked for
and advised because a number of pa
trons had said they would not send
their children to him; that the ro
signation was not demanded.
Several remarked that they failed
todistinguished betwoon a "forcible
request" and a "demand," and the
resolution was unalmmously adopted,
or at least no one voted "No."
The meting thou adjourned.
Thoro is no excitement this morn
ing. It is thought that the matter
has ended and will remain so. Itow
over, the opinion is that all depends
on wlit will bo published in The
Sontinol of Wednesday. Nearly ov.
ory citizen has expre;sod the hopo
that the affair will be hushed now,

I hit on the idea by chanco. Down
on the East Side of Now York I had
seen hundreds of the picturesque
Jews, with their beards and queer
hnts and queerer dialect. It struck
me that there was a striking charac
ter type that never had been done on
the stage. It may soom a strange
statement to make, but the fact is I
never devoted much time to study
ing the Yiddisher in his haunts. Tlat
is, it didn't seem like study, for I
was simply using the powers of ob
servation. I took a mental kodak
picture of him, and was enough of a
mimic to catch quickly his gestures
and modo of speech. Thon, with my
subject photographed on my mind I
familiarized myself with his views of
life, put myself as much in his place
as I Pould, and fif (ed my Ptoriosr to
accord with his nature. Some of the
stories were founded on fact, and
more were wholly fietitious. Since
I first acted the Yiddisher, I have
been developing and retouching the
picture, until now, though essen.
tially my original conception, its
present state is very different from
its first.

What is called "a good mcmory"
is probably a natural gift, though
the power of recollecting can no
doubt, be strengthened by practice
and eff'ort. It is curious to note
the way in which our minds will
sometimes cling to a store of traish
and let slip the things wve wish to
remember. Some silly rhime, cas
ually heard in the street, will cling
to us for years, while the poetry we
labored to learn and hoped to re
member has long been forgotten.
Many systems of memories, as the
art of cultivating the r:emory is
called, have been invented, but all
of them, so far as they pretenid to

strengthening the power of memo.

The dam, with the machinery, etc,.
