LOCKHART JUNCTION Lockhart Junction, March 9.?Tht weather continues bad with colc winds and snow storms. Ther< hasn't been any farm work done in i pood while, only to pet fire wood ant keep up pood fires and it is not ar easy task to do that. There was a larpe attendance or the Sunday school at the Gault school house Sunday evening. The interest still increases. This Sunday schoo was organized 12 months ago and s young lady was made assistant superintendent and I will say there art several lady teachers and all are doing good work.

The subject of last Sunday'f less was, "Watchfulness and Tern perance." me superintendent gave s talk on temperance. The Lockhart train had two wrecks] one last Friday evening and one Saturday.

Cudd of Union passed e through here Sunday en route to Pea _ Ridge section. Maxcy. The People and the Woman. Some twenty-four years ago a poj litical campaign was started in this , State pitched on the charge that the g State was ruled by "an oligarchy of s aristocrate." The charge was false, but a majority of the people believed * it and they came to believe that they had been delivered out of U?e hand of the "aristocrats." A result of the campaign was a cruel, senseless and { wholly artificial division of the peopie of South Carolina, and one group . of citizens was taught to hate another group but, according to the claims of the faction that won, the " "plai npe?>ple" were raised to power in the government. We suppose that it will hardly be disputed that they have been in power ever since?at any rate their great leader, Captain Till' man, was reelected to the United States senate last year and one of " his early and devoted followers was reelected governor. * In the course of time a young coun* try girl of York county, the daughter of a "Reformer" or "Tillmanite," I went to the people's college for women that Tillman established at Rock ' Hill and thence she went to the Meds ical College in Charleston, where she " graduated with honors. Naturally pnmicrH fc ? ...v v??o vuiWUV^U 1 U1 tllC ptJO" pie was given an opportunity to ' serve the people in a State institution, the Hospital for the Insane, ; where it is unanimously agreed that ' she has labored seven or eight years ' with zeal, unselfishness and marked ability for the diseased and afflicted. Within the last few months war has been waged against this woman. Of course, there is a chorus of denial from all sides that any one in? tended to injure her reputation or to j reflect upon her work or to hurt ; her feelings or to drive her frorp I her post, but that denial is not ac1 cepted by Dr. Eleanora B. Saunders. , When a man or woman is hounded, he or she usually knows it and if , this woman, who is representative of I ine piain people of York county and t an honor to them, has not been badI eered, heckled, nagged at and houndt ed, then she has not known what . she has said when under oath she , testified in er own behalf. It is not . now for The State to say that she has . received this treatment, notably on 5 the twelfth day of last December, but \ neither is it for The State to say , that what she says is untrue. Now The State and thousands of { people who have been its staunch and abiding friends have been accused for , twenty-four years of being "aristo' crats" and the "enemies of the plain people." However ridiculous the ac[ cusation may be and is, it is hardly , the obligation of The State, thus . suspected and maligned, to take the r lead in defending the cause of Dr. I Eleanora B. Saunders and in asking that those whom she regards as her persecutors and (raducers be reJ baked. i The case rests with the people of . cocrn Carolina and, more particu. larly, with those cf the people who i have long been arrayed against the j "aristocrats." The "aristocrats" and i "ohgarchists," so called, usually have r taken care of their women?at least, there is not on record in South Car; olina the history of any kind of fight or warfare waged against a woman ' 9- * in }#uuuc or private me by these peo. pie who have been falsely described as "aristocrats" and who are in very truth of the same blood and ancestry with this woman of York. The "plain people" are in power in South Carolina. . They are a great majority of the voters. The next primary elections wil lprove whether or not they stand by their women. They can't avoid, whether thew yould or not, wkriting a verdict by their ballots, for or against Dr. Eleanora B. Saunders. It will be a verdict for or against the poor girl who fights her way up from the common school j 0 VAL Powder elyPure t, hot breads, and dally necessities imily.
