was not presided over as we said in
our account of it, by a little negro
boy: lmt by Russel Poole only son

to Russel for our mistake.
That such absurd mistakes do occur
in a newspaper is to us sometimes

Mrs. Ann H. Jeter and Mrs. D.
B. Pope both former citizens oi
Union, were riding in an automobile
on the Hyatt Park road neai
Columbia last Monday afternoon
when the auto ran against the
wheels of a carriage. Mrs. Jeter
was thrown out and suffered some
bruises^nd a nervous shock, the
other occupants were only slightly
bruised. None were even painfully
hurt. This was an accident ol
such a nature as to be called an escape
from what in 9 out of 10 casei
would have been a very sorious one.

Other News.
Santuc, June 26.?We have had '
Hon 10 hot days, the temperature,*
reaching 07 and 98 degrees on (
several days. This coupled with
very high winds has been very
damaging to crops.
I have let a great many items,
and not so great either, slip by,
and hive notlkcpt up giving that
"great deal" and ' not so great \
either," but the facts arc the nights v
arc very short, and after a long c
day of work I did not feel liko n
writing at those short minutes at r
night. I had to work, you see, and I
of course something had to be neg- i
lcctcd. That is my excuse for not 1
trying to keep up this line of cor- i;
respondence. 1;
Fruit is nothing to brag on in a
this section. Apples are of the L
poorest quality, and ranging from n
a few on a tree down to nothing, a
Peaches are fairly good, but it is p
too early to know whether they, c
will be "knotty" or not. t
I have not seen but one water- f(
melon patch this year and have fi
heard but 4ittle about others. They n
must not be good ones, not enough v
to brag on. There has been a ship- t
mcnt made to this place from the v
low country. The Santuc Mercantile
Company had them. h
People have been quite success- r
ful raising chickens this year, even r
though May was a wet month, p,
There seems to lie, or will, soon, a r
supply for home use, or picnics, or p
market, as suits one's fancy best. g
The turkey crop is short, I believe, q
though. q
There has been a quantity of <]
"personals" going and coming, ^
but they arc too far back to men- 0

be partial, I will refrain this time. ^
The "kids" or ^"yearlings" are f(
taking the day "Hying around" ^
and the older young peoplo are ^
about in a position to have to "go c
way back and sit down," and feel _
that they are not in it, calling, g
driving and sporting. Not only g
arc the little masculines sporting
the "kid" girls, but they are t
prancing and frisking and di-dapping
around grown young ladies? 0
those old enough to do the regular 1
and Incoming courting. As the J
old sheep said about the little
"butty'r goat, they came gum- *
dasted near making us swallow our ^
cuds.
The water wheels at the power c
house at Neal Shoals will be ready )
for running in al>out ten days the c
workmen think. The dam work t
is progressing rapidly now in this c
dry weather, but I have heard that j
most of the hands have recently ^
left the job. The generators arc g
being put in rapidly.
The hands on the section of the \
Southern's railroad at this place (
laid down their tools about a week j,
ago and "walked out." Two have v
gone to another job to better their v
conuiuon ana nvo nave taken a jod
of loafing, with the usual pay for
such employment. Mr. Moss, the l]
section master, is forced to take a e
holiday for awhile at last. j
Several here have gone into the 1
cotton exchange business?dealing *
in futures ?selling or buying a crop
that is not made, but I understand ?
they are contributing their portions
to enrich Wall street. They only
compare as cubs and little yearlings 1
to the big growling and bellowing c
sort "up yonder," these little Dan ?
Sulleys and tiny Theodore Prices. 1
Coroner B. F. Gregory and Mr. ?
Nance passed through here yester- |
day to hold an inquest over the
dead body of Ben Munro, colored, 0
which was found on the Southern v
railroad a half mile below Carlisle.
The gist of the jury's verdict is I
that he came to his death by being f
struck by a southbound through c
freight train, caused by his own
carelessness. Of course he was 1
presumed to have been drunk, as 1
he was seen drunk late Saturday ]
night, and was killed between two 1
or three o'clock Sunday morning. f
I do not wish to be classed as a 1
pessimist, but there is the poorest (
prospect for a crop of any kind (
that I ever remember seeing. All 1
through May, as you know, was f
extremely wet; in June it went to 1
the other extreme. Cotton received 1
such drastic doses to clean it, that 1
it was well nigh killed in places, 1
and with no rain to recuperate it, '
it simply made not a particle of 1
growth in many places. Yet the <
! report on the healthful condition of j
cotton for the state was 78 per cent i
' of a perfect crop. Corn is also very 1
i poor. Old corn seems as if it will 1
' make nothing, some is alx>ut to
' tassel twolve inches from the ground. 1
? How is that for high? It has been
J entirely too dry to plant and get '
r anything like a half stand of peas,
r and some just could not plant. Lot
f the seasons be ever so good from
now on, it being six months gone,
? and tho growing season not long on
the other six, one cannot hope for 1
H
a full crop by a great deal, unless
it is in the later planting of corn,
jrou can't blame a farmer if he lias
a sort of gloomy view of the situation
and feels a little blue. But
Jon't grumble, grumbling wont
pay. It is not man's work. Speculator,
"futurp" gamblers, are of
be worst "inner parts" the prolucer
has to contend with.
Hey Denver.
Victory in Defeat.
The gathering in Louisville last
reek of the Confederate veterans
ras one of thrilling interest. They
amc from every part of the South,
i ii * -
,nu mousanus 01 visitors came to
ncet them. Never lias the city
>ccn more crowded, and never has
t welcomed a nobler large body of
nen. It lias had national gntherngs
of benevolent orders, and of
nisincss and financial associations,
nd of tho G. A. R.?but never so
argc a gathering, of which so great
. proportion were men of such ex- .
ltcd worth. It was inspiring and
Mithetic. to witness the great procssion
of old men, the survivors of
hose great armies that more than
orty years ago made the grandest
ight of tho ages in defense not
tiercly of their homes against binding
armies, but in defense of
lie great fundamental principles on
rliich the republic rests.
They were overpowered by num"
ere, after having produced the
nost magnificent chieftains whose
allies adorn the pages of modern
listory, and after having made a
ecord for heroism such as the world
as rarely witnessed. Their strug"
lc is mis-named as tho "Lost
)au8c.n The cause was not lost,
'he conflict was a triumph of the
lefeated army. Their defeat was
heir victory. The greatest triumph
f Christianity was in its hour of
Tea test disaster. In like manner
he great constitutional principles
V _i ii i
or wnicn me neroes ol the War be"
ween the States fought?the docrinc
of States rights ?the right of
very State to local self-government
-'emerged from their defeat more
trongly entrenched in our civil
ystem than ever before.
When the constitution of the
Jnited States was formed, the right
f every State to local self-governnent,
to manage absolutely, every
letail of its own affairs that had
lot been formally delegated to the
[eneral movement, was carefully
;uardcd. The violation of that
undamental condition of the con- ,
ract between the States proved so
ostly a mistake that it will never
>e repeated. On the contrary, in
ivery case involving the right of
he States that has come liefore the
Supreme Court of the United States,
ts decision has uniformly sustained
he contention of the South. This
ireat fundamental issue of the war
or which these men offered their
ives has licen approved as right,
>ver and over again, by the highest
luthority of the land. The South
vas defeated, but the principle for
vhich it fought triumphed.
The al>olition of slavery was not
? triumph of the North. The ownirship
of slaves had become un
Pi.l 1. t #
lrouuuue oeiore ine war conincnccd.
Only five per cent, of the
jcoplc of the South were slavelolders,
and many of those would
jladly have welcomed a plan of rcief
from the burdens involved in
he care of the slaves. During the
nnetcenth century, the institution
>f slavery ceased to exist in every
(ivilizcd nation on the earth, and
n every country of the world ex:ept
the United States, it was abolshed
without war. Slavery would
mvc ceased to exist in the natural
>rder of things, had there been no
trar. /
The war was not commenced by
Resident Lincoln for the purpose 1
>f abolishing slavery. His famous
(mancipation proclamation did not
tbolish it in any State or commulity
where the United States armies
vere in control. It was merely a
var measure offering the support of
he armies of the United States to
luch slaves within the Confederate
ines as would strike for their frcclom.
But it retained in bondage
dl the slaves in Deleware, Maryand,
Kentucky, Missouri, and
luch parts of the seceded States as
vere under the control of the
United States. It was notaproolanation
dictated by humanity to
he slave, but only an appeal to
lim to turn naainst the whit? iw*.
ale of the South, and make such a
lemonstration as would demoralize
ts hitherto invincible armies. It
s a historical fact that slavery was
ibolished by act of Congress soveral
months after the war closed.
Our noble fathers and brethren
were overcome in the contest of
1861-18G5. But the principle for
which the struggle was commenced
the soverignty of the State, its absolute
right to control its own internal
affairs, triumphed, and is
now more firmly imbedded in the
organic law of the land than at any
previous time,?Christian Observer.
