White has been ap pointed Aide de-Camp, with the rank of Major, on the staff of Gen. C. I. Walker, the com manding officer of the United Confederate Veterans in this State. Maj. White was one of the most enthusiastic supporters of the "Lost Cause,” as his con-* duct on a score of bloody battle fields fully testified. He is worthy of the honor that has come to him unsolicited, and his native County rejoices to see him honored. WASTING VALUABLE TIME. After wasting an entire day on what was, in some respects, purely a difference of opinion between the Tillman brothers as to what obligation, if any, the State of South Carolina la bors under to its late United States Senator M. C. Butler, an other day was thrown away be fore the week ended in attempt ing to protect Governor Evans, the presiding officer of the Con vention, from the adverse criti cism of the press. In the old days in South Carolina, the character of a State officer was so like that of Ca‘sar’8 wife that any attempt on part of the press to calumniate him would not have met with the commonest kind of credence, and would on ly react on the head of the would-be columniator. The Columbia State, however, seems to have hit Gov. Evans “on the raw”. It’s a great pity that he and his friends could not occu py a more dignified positii n about the matter than to con clude that it would require a re solution passed in solemn con clave by the Constitutional Con vention of a great Common wealth, the highest power in the land, to shield and protect him from the aspersions of a hostile press. On the same principle, other officers and members of the Convention who .have their characters assailed could turn to that body for pro tection and a resolution, a state of things whioh, if reduced to its last analysis, would give us a permanent Constitutional Convention—in session all the time. There is one qusstion that Governpr Evans and his friends may ponder over (and, if we mistake not, it will be a “pon dering” that will not induce much to their comfort), and that is, have they helped or hurt Mr. Gonzales by the prominence into which they have brought him—that one Editor who, at a cost of hundreds of dollars to the State, succeeded in keeping its hundred and fifty delegates to a Constitutional Convention talking about him and his utter ances for an entire day? In our judgment su^h an advertise ment is worth more to Mr. Gon zales, and will do more to im prove his business, than a suit for libel could possibly have done, and that’s saying a great deal. Col. Robert Aldrich, not satis fled with the form of the resolu tion as introduced, exonerat ing the presiding officer from the charge of unfairness, and rebuking the State for its edi torial, sought to have the resolu tion amended so as to exclude the State's representatives from the floor of the Convention for the remainder of the session. The amendment failed, as it deserv ed to do. The next thing we ex pect to bear from Col. Aldrich is the introduction by him of a proposed ordinance to be incor porated in the new Constitution “abridging the freedom of speech and of the press”, with out regard to any inhibition that may be contained in the Federal Constitution on that subject. Mr. J. O. A. Moore is dis tinguishing himself as the introducer of numerous ordinances w i h c h are to form part of the new State Con stitution. If all the members of the body were as prolific with proposed ordinances, as he is, and should one half of them be adopted, the Convention would adjourn leaving behind it a code of laws as voluminous as one of i Mr. Burn’s campaign speeches, i and it would take forty “Phila-1 delphia lawyers” to tell us com- | mon people “where we were at.” Blood Poison THE BANE OF HUMAN LIFE, Driven Out of the System by * the Use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla “For five years, I was a great o sufferer from a most persistent ® blood disease, none of the various £ medicines 1 took being >f any o help whatever.
