A Personal Statement
To the newspapers of South Carolina.
Hartsville, S. C., April 15.?
Upon my return from Columbia
this afternoon, 1 was much suiprised
and greatly shocked to find that,
through some oversight at the office,
this week's County Messenger, of;
which I am editor, contained a let- j
ter rcflectng seriously upon the
management of the State Penitentiary.
No information of any such article
was given mo before my departure
for Columbia early Thursday
morning the 12th, and had 1 been
here such an article would not have
appeared, as the office has instrctions
to refer all articles of a political
nature to me.
1 desire to make all possible
amends to Capt. GrifTeth for this
article and have already apprised
him of it and had friends of mine
confer with him.
You will, therefore, confer a personal
favor on me if you will make
no reference to this article in your
columns and destroy the copy of the
paper which contains it.

A Meeting Held in This City Last
Night Decides to Initiate Action.
"A meeting of opponents of the
State dispensary system was held
here tonight, at which it was decided
to inaugurate a campaign
against the system, and to sec to it
that a tight is made in every county."
The above statement was given to
the press last night by Itev. L. J.
Bristow of Greenwood, at the conclusion
of a conference which had
lasted for several hours. It is apparent
from the statement that
more will 1m; heard from the meeting
l iter, and that the purpose is to
organize for a tight against the dispensary
all along the line.
While Mr. Bristow is well known
as a prohibitionist, there were a

present, and among the others were:
Rev. I>. W. Iliott. who led the fight
in Pickens; Mr. 1). It. Coker of
Hartsvillc, who was prominent in
the Darlington election against the
dispensary; Senator W. L. Mauldin
and Mr. Joseph A. McCullough
of Cirecnvillo; Mr. J. C. Otts of

Lancaster, members of tlie house,
and others.?Columbia State, April

THE CRY AND THE ANSWER.
Human Hearts Open to the Cry of Distress?A
Case in Point.
More than twelve years, at a convention
of the Maryland Christian
Endeavor Union, an address was
given by Dr. Maltbia Babcock, of
Baltimore upon the "Success of
Defeat." It seemed a curious subject
for a convention full of young
people full of hopes and ambitions,
but that the message was one that
reached their hearts was proved by
the eager demand for it in printed
form, a demand so steady that twelve
years later, and three years after
Doctor Babcock's death, a new edition
of it has been published. It
is in this last edition that the story
is told of the mission of its message
of courage to two despairing men.
The day after the address was
given in Baltimore an anonymous
note readied Doctor Babcock, with
this question: "Could you have
given that address, and meant every
word of it, if you were living in a
loft on seven cents a day?"
Doctor Babcock at once made
every possible inquiry, bui no trace
of the writer could he discovered.
The lack of signature to the letter
of course made the trail a blind one
to follow; but the postal authorities
were consulted, the services of the
mail-carriers were enlisted, and
every effort made to trace the letter.
The clergyman was at last forced to
drop the matter of the authorship
of the note. It was a cry out of
the depths, but the hands so eager
to aid could not reach the one evidently
in such terrible need.
Si.x months afterward, in a distant
city, Doctor Babcock gave the
address again, telling at the same
time the story of the anonymous
note. At the close of the service a
man stopped to speak to him.
"Doctor Babcock," he said, "I
think that 1 know your scvcn-ccntsa-day
man. In fact, I know of two
men in your city struggling for a
medical education upon just about
that sum."
So once more the inquiry was begun,
and finally, after weeks of
searching, the men were found,
two of them living in a belfry in a
distant part of the city. Crushed
by circumstances, cynical and hopeless
in regard to the future, they
had been almost in despair when
they had heard Doctor liabcock's
message. That gave them courage
to keep on with the struggle, and
when at last lie found them,
after his long search, his personal
friendship and influence completed
the work begun by his sermon.
Out of disheartenment, hopelessness,
failure, came the hope and
purpose of new and stronger lives, j
The incident is n. striking ilbistrn
tion of one of the most wonderful
facts of life?the comfort, the inspiration,
the courage held in trust for
those in need, often hy utter
strangers. "How great is thy
goodness, which thou has laid up
for them that fear thee," David
cried, centuries ago. For every
sorrow, every temptation, every
doubt and despair, comfort and
help arc stored up in other hearts;
there is never a need mode known
that there arc not hearts eager to
answer.
And when it is not known?
When no human soul hears the
cry? Is it not because God Himself,
not through others, hut hy the
silent pressure of His Spirit, would
speak to His child??The Youth's
