Greenbrier Co.. ". Va. Aug. +, 1917.
DEAe HERALD: The "dear old White IS
still dear 10 many people-but it is not the
White of old. True it lies here imbeadeo
among the mountains which tower above
and around it like guardian Sentinels. Its
grass is as green, and its shady hooks andd
,ightful walks are as attractive as ever, yet
in the character OF its visitors it is sadly
changed. Once it was the resort Of oil the
better families of the South. Courtesy, re-
finement and rea! elegance reigned here
The halls and balconies rang with the hearty
laugh of noble gentlemen; and the eyes OF
fair women shone brighter than their jewels.
Now there is seen no little Of TIC influence OF
Northern society. Shoddyism attempting to
be respectable here has full display. The
most elaborate toilettes and sickening sentl-
mentalides meet the visitor on every nand.
There are few, however, of the "old school
still to be found amid these favored harntS.
There are between 200 and 400 persons
here a. present and the cry is 'Still t0ey
come" Among the visitors I notice the
burly form and noble face of Hon. Beverly
Tucker; ". W. Corcoran, Esq, noted for bis
distinguished and inosten.atIous liberality
receives morn attention perhaps than any
other man at the Springs. South Carolina

ScorT DESERTS GRAST.-En speech at

not care if Greeley was elected" The
trouble was that Mr.. Grant had accused
Governor Scott Of stealing; that Grant
vas poor and is rich that Scott could
have bought Grant out, and now Grant
could buy Scott out. This led Gov
ernor Scott to ask this pertinent ques.
tion: Tf I got my money by stealing,
how did Mr. Grant get his?"
These things confirm what is openly
said in political circles in Columbia.
Governor Scott is rot frantic on the sub

Judge Orr in the Past.

The Greenville Enterprise brings to
light the following bit of Judge Orr's
history. In view ofhis present advocacy
Of military chieftain, this resurrection
Of his former opinion is rather cruel:
Judge Orr, in his elaborate and pa
triotic speech in Congress, On the Presi-
Dental question between franklin Pierce
and General Scott, undertook to show
the American people the danger 10 their
republican form of government, in Sc
lect,ng e military chieftain for their
President. He exclaimed, 'Thank
Heaven: We have not yet reached that
point in the decline OF our Government,
when it is necessary to elect a military
man to administer the Executive De-
partmens of the Government" In the
next sentence, he says: "Most republics
have had that experience where they
had travelled far down the road to de.
struction, and when the time arrives for
US to elect military chieftains to dis
charge the functions of civil officers,
then farewell, long farewell, to all our
SEcdLIGSS. I1c ti!St FiOpHSS'$oHI sN''"
the people: "The second election will
be made by the army, and the appointee
will be dictator !" Not satisfied with
this prophecy, he wisely and most truth
fully says: "ln this country, civil quail.
6ca:ions are alone required, end hos
ever brigh. halo Of glory may encire'e
the wreashed brow ofthe military officer,
if he is deficient in knowledge Of civil
policy, and is destitute Of craftsmanship,
he is not worthy to rule the people OF
the United States, AMI ought not 10 be
trusted with the delicate duties cevolTed
on our chief magistrates, growing cut Of
our foreign and domestic relations" These
are the words of sober truth and wisdom;
and never wss their application more op-
portune than they are at present. No
friend Of General Grant will pretend to
say that he is not deficient in knowl.
edge Of civil policy. and is destitute Of
craftsmanship"

TERRIFIC TuuSDER-SToRM-FATAL RE-

August, the house Of Mr.. J. r. Rogers,
few miles below Society Hill, Was
struck by lightning, and considerably
shiyered. Pro7identially, it was just
then unoccupied, the two brothers haV-

night with their elder brother at the
house of his father in.law. 1t is be-
licved they would certainly have been
killed had they been in the house. The
kitchen vas also struck. In the absence
of the occupants of the house, Mr.. Bath

who was on a visit to her parents, who
are laborcTs on the place, we're tempo

the place. The daughter was killed, the
mother so seriously injured that her re.
covery is doubtful the father escaped

there IS no ultimate safety for the money

having the sidewalks blocked up with small

great extent Of lazy, thrift!ess, newly made

they have an absolcte righ: to do just as they
please, regardless Of the rights of anybody
else. These gentry ought to be taught some
sense, for the nuisance has become il ntolera-
