Our Presidents.

Of the eighteen Presidents of the United
States three were born in February, three
in March, four in April, one each in May,
July, and October, three in November, and
two in December.
Only four of the eighteen had any middle
name, and none had more than enc middle
name.
The surnames of nine of the eighteen ter
inmate with the letter en-" We have one
George, three Johns, one Thomas, four
James, two Andrews, one Martin, one Will
liam, one Zachary, one Willard, one Fran
kiln, one Abraham, and one Ulysses.
Seven were born in Virginia, two in Mas
sachusetts two in New York, two in North
Carolina, one in Pennsylvania, one in Ken
lucky, and one in Ohio.
We have had twelve Democratic, four
Wing, and two Republicans Presidents.
Eleven of these were residents of the South
ern and seven of the Northern States at
the time of their election to the Chief Mag
istracy.
One died in January, one in February,
two in April, four in June, four in July,
one in October, and two in December.-
Fifteen have passed to that undiscovered
country, leaving Fillmore, johnson and
Grant living, the latter, however, being
the only one left who was elected directly
by the people. Fillmore became President
by the death of Taylor, and johnson by
reason of the assassination of Mr.. Lincoln
Three Of the Presidents died on the fourth
of July, and two of them the same. year
1926.
Five served eight years each-namely:
Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe
and Jackson. Four of these were born in
Virginia, giving thirty-two years to the
"Old Dominion" besides four years for
Harrison and Tyler, making thirty seven
years and four months for Virginia, so
commonly called the "Mother of Presi-
dents.'
On the third day of next April it will be
elghty-two years since George Washington
was first inaurgurated President, and near
ly half that time Virginia has filled that
chair; "and yet the South is not happy"
The most Incorporate of all the Presi-
dents were Pierce and johnson. Pierce,
however, was an accomplished gentleman,
possessed great suavity Of manner, and
was an fat with the ladies. He was a
Chesterfield after the style Of George Wash
ington Jones and Augustus Caesar Dodge.
Buchanan, with all his faults, was one of
the ablest of them all, while Fillmore was
his antipode. The latter will be remem-
bered chiefly for his having signed the fug-
tive slave act of 1850. Folks administra-
ton is chiefly remembered as one which
was devoted to the extension of slavery by
means of the war with Mexico.
1t is said that Van Buren, died rich, a
thing that cannot be said of many of the
Presidents. As evidences of self-made
men it is probable that Lincoln and Wash
ington were the finest specimens of them
all. Mr.. Lincoln's kindness of heart-even
in war-has never been excelled. While
some of those who have been called to the
Executive chair we're men of marked abil-
ity, others were ordinary men. Some of
the ablest who were in their time aspirants
to the position and failed to reach the goal
of their ambition, were Burr, Hamilton,
Marcy, Clay, Corwin, Chase, Webster, Sew
ard, Douglass, Choate, Calhoun, and 9TH
ers.

A Story About General Cass.
Colonel Forney writes !:

ColOuel OTlley WIltcS
John Guy bore striking resemblance to
Gen Lewis Cass, and while he was pIoprie-
tor of the National Hotel, in Washington,
the Michigan Senator was among his favor
ed guests. Guy dressed like Cass, and al
though not as portly, his face, including
the wart, was strangely similar. One day
a Western friend of the house came in after
long ride, dusty and tired, and walking
up to the Office encountered Gen. Cass who
was quietly standing there. Mistaking
him for Guy, he slapped him on the Shout
der, and exclaimed "Welf old fellow, here
l am; the last time l hung my hat up in
your shanty one of your clerks sent me to
the fourth story; but now that have got
hold of you, l insist upon lower room."
The General, most dignified parsonage,
taken aback by this startling salute, cold
ly replied: You have committed mis-
take, sir: am not Mr.. Guy, am General
Cass, of Michigan" and angrily turned
away. The Western man was shocked at
the unconcious outrage he had committed;
but before he had recovered from his NOR
LITIGATION, Gen. Cass, who had passed round
the Office, confronted him again, when, a
second time installing him for Guy, he
faced him and said: "Here you are at last,
I have just made devil of mistake
met old Cass and took him for you, and
am afraid the Michigander has gone off
mad.' What General Cass would have said
may we'll be imagined if the real Guy had
not approached and rescued the innocent
angered statesman.

Be A MAN. Foolish spending is the
father OF poverty. Do not be ashamed of
work, nor of hard work. Work for the
best salary or wages you can get, but work
for half price rather than be idle. Be your
own master, and do not let society or fash
ion swallow up your individuality-hat,
coat and boots. Do not eat Or wear out
all that you earn. Compel your selfish
body to spare something for profits saved.
Be stingy to your own appetite, but merciful
to others necessities. Help others, and
ask no help for yourself. See that you are
proud. Let your pride be of the right
kind. Be too proud to be lazy; too proud
to give up without conquering every diff
Guilty, too proud to wear coat that you
cannot afford to buy, too proud to be in
company that you cannot keep up with in
expenses; too proud to lie, or steal, or
cheat, too proud to be stingy.

THE SACRED NAME.


These devotees never pronounce aloud
the name of God, but repeat it in reveren-
tial whispers. May not this popularity, so
striking in land where taking that sacred
name in vain is scarcely counted a sin, have
been received by tradition from some jew
ish source? It will be remembered that
similar custom prevailed long ago among
that once God-fearing people.
DRESS AND INFLUENCE OF FAKIRs.

.H JUDGE R. B.. CARrENr1EnR..- We had
the pleasure. yesterday, of meeting in
this city. our esteemed friend, Judge
= Carpenter. .the candidate for Governor
on the Reform ticket in the last cstiyass.
He is looking well, and is in fine condi-
'tion. In that canvass, Judge Carpenter.
in connection with General, Butler, did
great service in behalf of the good peo-
Of South Carolina and, the cause OF re-
form. He is entitled to the gratitude of
the State for the blows he struck again
and again for our injured people. Greet
him Il with hearty welcome. Our motto
is to atand by our friends and the friends
OF the right, and to meet our foes and
the States foes with resolute antapo-
nism. Charity covers a. multitude of
sins, and is divine virtue. But it is
not charity to spare unrepentant thieves
ana piunderers; aud lot us member
that the good hater of all that is corrupt
and wrong. is generally the ardent lover
OF all that is pure and right. Judge
Carpenter was not successful. But if he
did not achieve success, he did more
he deserved it. Others may hail the
dismal lumipary that is now revolving
IN the orbit of .fraud-the successful
Scott. We turn and bow to him whose
course ws know is now, as ever, in the
path that leads to the prosperity and
peace OF the State. Need We add that
the arrows winged by Messrs. Carpenter
and Butler still stand qrivering in the
bodies of the high officials whom they
assailedr such is the case. The points
made by these canvassers have been vim
dicated by recent developments. Truth
is mighty and will prevail. Error
wounded dies among its worshippers.

Rosa Williams, the widow OF Jim Will

been the wife Of Jim Williams, and lived
on Mr. Bratton's place in York; that Jim
was killed on the night of the 7th OF
March.
Mr.. Corbin-Well, tell us now all
about it.
Witness-About nine or ten disguised
men came into the house. Williams had
got under the house, but he came out.
They asked him for tho guns; he gave
them two and told them that the compa-
ny had all the balance. They took Will
liams out, and some stayed behind and
searched the house. I heard Williams
making a gurgling noise, like he was
strangling. 1 started ont but they
stopped me. They took him off and
never saw him alive any moro. saw
him next day, hung on pine tree, dead.
Oross-examined-They asked for guns
and got two. then they took him ont and
asked me for more guns. Some four or
five came in the last time; I couldn't tell
exactly. knew that Jim was captain of
the militia company. He had been down
to Chester to see Mr.. Reister about Civ
ing up the guns. He got the cartridges
from Yorkville; he had them in paper
box and gave them out two or three
apiece to the company; they we're ball
cartridges. He gave the cartridges cut
some TINA before he was killed. The
company mustered, I think, in ON old
field of Mr.. Wallace's.

said ne was member; said ho was chief.
These questions, as eliciting merely
the declarations of 8. G. Brown, were
ruled out. The court asked witness if
he knew 8. G.. Brown to bc member in
any other way than by his declarations.
Witness-Yes; he gave me the signs.
He and Wesley Smith were in oonversa-
tion; he asked Wesley Smith if was all
right. Wesley Smith answered, yes. lie
then went on in his conversation. He
said: "Wes., 1 can kill and whip more
niggers with my khan than ali York
