EDITORIAL NOTES
Th? lecture of Dr. Tairoage in
Columbia OD next Wednesday evening
it a notable event., and anyone making
the trip to Columbia will be fully repaid
ky bearing him.
Editor Gantt, of The Regisftr, has
Wen selected as- the messenger to
carry the electoral vote pf South Oaro
Kw to Washington. This is a reward
in part for "out-writing and out lying
all other iara put together/* as Sen?
ator Irby expressed it more truthfully
As* elegantly.
The Greenville Eitferprise and
Mountaineer was issued laut week rn an
entirely new dress- and with the name
abbreviated to a reasonable length, the
Enterprise being omitted. Col. Hoy*
baa infused new life into the old paper,
and it is now easily one of the foremost
weekly papers in the State.
Tb? Georgetown Times says that 4 the
success or failure of the Tillman-Gante
Kvans dispensary raw must be measured
bj the am on Lt of profit.'7 Hence from
a Tnimanite point of view the liquor
han nothing to do with morality or
question, like Senator Colouit's politics,
religion.
? stranger io Som ter has a hard
tune finding a given place of basic ess
er residences without a guide, no matter
how carnereros and lucid directions he
bc may have received. It is time the
bootes were numbered, especially as it
nan be dons with little or no cost to the
?ty.
Gov. Tillmss is egotistical and bora
baefie. bot BO one has thought of sc?
enting him of raking biwself ri dieo
lotB. Yet be bas gone and done that
very thing. His deeraratron that be
will enforce the Evans Liquor Law at
al) hasards, the Courts to the contrary
notwithstanding, is ridiculous and noth?
ing more.
The Register says America 8boult?
pot anarchists m tbe baiter. What
should .be done with those who are
indsstrioOBly preparing the body politic
for the seeds of anarchism, com maoism,
and destruction ? Several of the acts of
tbe recent Legislature smack strongfy
of paternalism, wbieb is next akin to
communism.
Tom Kiernan, the machinist who was
discbargod from the Richmond ?ad
Danville railroad shops in Colombia, on
account of incendiary speeches, and was
afterwards made one of the Trial Jus?
tices of Colombia by Gov. Tillman, for
political effect, is now ont sf a political
?ob, being defeated in the primaryr and
AO mote political effect being needed at
pr?tent, bas repented and gone back
to honest tabor at bis trade.
I
Mrs. Lease, the Kansas virago who
snade a mal-odoroes record for herself
earing the past campaign,- as a Third
Party -stomp speaker and Republican
sympathiser, and was, by the way, rot
ton-egged by tbe iedignant Georgians, j
whom sba was attempting to lead into
.bc Third Party, bas announced
that she will not be a candidate for the j
geoatofship from Kansas.

Comptroller General Kllerbe is after
the banks, railroads and other corpora?
tions, sad ificidetitailv arl tax dodgets.
Iiis detora?narion io prevent tax dodg- j
iog whee applied to all alike is praise
worthy, bat does it suit bis purpose to j
have lands asst s-ed at their fall value :
as well as bank stock. In Sumter j
Coonta laed U a va>t deal farther oft !
from paying fases at market value than ?
the banks or railroad?.
The Atlantic Coast Linc has failed to j
secure tbe redaction in time f o.u New i
Torh to Florida, hoped for when the
MW schedule was put on the Wilson
Short Cut, and is said to be 1 .?kin? for \
another connection to tike South, with !
a 'J
a view of severing the relations here- j
tofore existing b-jtween that road and
tho Plant System. The plan most j
spoken of is a concoction with the j
gonth Hoand Road at Columbia. Hut :
the titanate plan is said to be a?i \
extension of tho Manchester k '
Angosta K. R from Rimini to j
?Grahams on the South Bound, thus
cutting off the distance around by
Columbia. This being tho case, and \
what we bare heard from railroad men :

WILLIAM G. KBKNEDY.
Col. William G. Kennedy, died al
o'clock this morning, after a ioog a
painful illness, that, despite the teo(
care of a* devoted wife and childn
made She summons to e?ter the life 1
yot*d the grave, io reality, a relief fr<
pain and a cai 1 to rest and peace rc
better and brighter world. He, bi
S?lf, questioning the reality of that li
declares that the portal of death, dc
and looe
**?3 ike Tes5->t>B-> ?-nd ?tey
To realms of fadeless, crystal light,.
Joys of in* {fable degree,
And life perennial and bright."
"According to the inspired word
No human mind can estimate;
Eye hat* teen, nor hath ear beard
The glories of tbein-tore state.""
.-and may he have already -ealized I
truth of bis answer to the question.
i He was the son of Francis L K<
i nedy of this county, and was born
?pril, 1829, thus being at tbe time
; bis death, nearly 6? years of age.
He attended ?he South Carolina C
lege about 181&-4&, leaving howevi
without graduation, but not before
had beeotue a fioe classical echolar a
! acquired a literary taste that shap
his after life.
He married Miss Mary F?. Dick, a
she and five children survived bim.
He studied law and was admitted
the bar, but never actively engaged
! his profess ion.
j Being possessed of ample means ai
leisure to cul ti rate his taste, he de vat
BTvoeb ?u e to the study of literature
and, being gifted with consid?r?t
poetic talent, many poetas were t!
product of bb leisure. The sr
ambitious of his poetical attempts w;
"Ichabod, or The Glory of the Sou
Has Departed," a bitter rament or
the condition in which the war at
reconstruction period bad left the lat
of bis nativity. It rs not entirely
lament, however, for the last stan;
seems prophetic of that better tia
whick the Soutfe ? destined to enjij
Ichabod doses thus ;
"That deliverance drawetb nigh,
7bat hour of new-born liberty,
When our dear Southland will arise
Transformed, redeemed before our eyes ;
Renewed in feature and rn form;
Instinct wita life, with passiou warm ;
Robed in the garb cfsecoud tuuth,
Refulgent with the sheen of truth ;
Fier eyes aglow, and ??ohing bright
With resarrec:ion's golden light ;
Io joyful transport, singing songs
Of triumph over righted wrongs :
Of gladness over dricd-up tears ;
O'er reECued hopes and buried fe?rs ;
Wben nil these wretches, bastard born,
Will quail beneath their country's scorn :
These creatures vile-and reprobate
Wiii reap their garners full of hate,
And tremble like the aspen's leaf,
Or like the autumn's wind-swept sheaf
B.-fore the concentrated wrath
That wili (itscend athwart their path,
Before the curses deep and loud
Which will their guilty souls enshroud;
* i * rf V ?
They need not grief or sorrow feign,
Hypocrisy will all be vain ;
Upon the fixed, appointed day
Their dread penalty rhey must pay j
Their crimes will cot be forgiven.
On the earth, and scarce in beaven."
Irs 1854 he was appointed to- a post
?io? on the staff of Governor Adam6,
with the rauk of Colonel ; and afc this
time a p-^ition on the Governor's stall
was an honor mach sought after, and
not a mere esipty name, as it now ip,
as the Governor,accompanied by his staff,
w?s required to make the round of the
State and inspect the militia.
In 1869 or '70 Col. Kennedy moved
from his place. Rose Hill, to- this city,
and was soon after engaged to take con?
trol of (he editorial department of the
Sumter yews (the name was afterwards
changed to The True Southron at hie
instauce) and it was in this position that
be rec de red bia iwost valuable public
service.
At that time the State was rn the
bands of the carpet-baggers, and op
positioB on the part of the uative white
people h d almost ceased. Some of the
most influential papers were eveu advo?
cating a compromise with those who
were ruthlessly plundering the State
and oppressing her citizens.
Mr Kennedy would countenance no
such cowardly at-d disgraceful bargain,
ile stood for the freedom of the pres?-.
?io open, uncompromising fight against
misrule and thievery by the alien and
negro horde in control of the State
government He made this fi^ht
almost single-handed, unaffected, alike
ny offers of bnb?'S and threats, and the
culmination of his fi^ht wan the Hamp?
ton Campaign, f<?r hi.? idea was it) accord
with the sentiment <.? the white peo|4e
of the S ru1 c.
Ile gave up his editorial position in
J n'y l^I.S, wheo the movement for
the redemption of the State was well
advanced, and engaged iu mercantile
business for several years, until his
Jailing heal;li obliged him to give it up
Fur the last four years he has boeu
almost a belpie.-s invalid.
At some future time it is our purpose
to give au extended sketch of bis edito- ]
ra! work aa the True Snuikroii, with i
selections frots* hit- writings, as it is a j
Component portion of the .story of the j
most stirring pei io J of South CAI'olio a j

vented from being destroyed. Loss estima?
ted at ?50,000 to 5100,000.

and Const. William Cox severely wounded by
Joe Fisher, colored, whom they were attempt?
ing to arrest for assault and battery on the

of a previous row among the hands at the
Wando Phosphate mines.
Thos. Nelson Page, the distinguished
Virgiuia author lectured in Columbia last

Thc Secretary of State has issed a number
of charters to various enterprises recently.
A new Company has been organized and
has bought the Florence Oil Mill, recently sold
under Mortgage.
More than 500,000 pounds of tobacco have
been sold on the floor of the Florence ware?
house during the past season.
A Magnificent Opportunity.
The Cosmopolitan Mapuzinc bay risen within
the past three years from comparative ob?
scurity to a position in public estimation, not
second to that of any of the old monthlies
This has been accomplished by merit and
able management. The thereory ef the
publishers of the Cosmopolitan seems to be that
j the best of everything is none too good for its
readers and the result proves the wisdom of
this course.
The January edition was t50,000 copies,
and the publishers celebrate this achievment
by the offer of 1000 scholarships in any of the
leading universities of America. How these
scholarships can be obtained bv energetic
young men or women may be Teamed by
writing to theCoxmopelitian, Madison Square,
New York, N. Y.
Rather risky
the offer that's
made by the pro?
prietors of Dr.
Sages Catarrh
Remedy. Risky
for them. For
yon, if you havo
Catarrh, it's a
certainty. YouYe
certain to be
cure/I of it, or to?
bo paid $500.
That's what they
offer, and ia good faith-they cure you, or
pay you, no matter how bad your case, or of
now long standing.
But-ts it so much of a risk ? They hare &
medicino that cures Catarrh, not for a rime,
but for nil time. They've watched it for
Tears, curing the most hopeless cases. They
Know that in your case there's every chance
cf suec *s, almost no che nco of failure.
Wouldn't any one take such a risk with
such a medicine ?
Tho only question is-are yon willing to
make the testT if tho makers are willing to
take tho risk I
If so, the rest fe easy. You pay your drug?
gist fifty cents and the trial beghoa.
