A COMPLIMENT D.-Speaking of
the old-line purity leaders of the South,
G. A. Townsend says:
Did you ever think what great race
Of men live at the South, to have been
subject to the licentious and profigate
contact of slavery for twenty genera
tions, and still preserve such energies
and 60 much manly character2 We miss
them from our public oounsels to-day.
How capable and direct they were in
foreign diplomacy-courtesy and Chi
valry, truth and death, in their address!
Then, shareholders as We were, the
world knew that we said no moro than
what we meant. We did not needessly
irritate our peers among tho nations
with sardonic sentences like Bancroft
Davis With the glove in his hand,
and the talk of kings herald. the
Southerner made his proposition to the
foreigner. OF him, it might be said as
of Crom we'll: While he lived, no Dutch
man swept the narrow seas! No Castle
maines dishonored the high places |
Vice and folly trembled in his eye. and
all good things lay safe beneath his
mighty shadowP"

The Atlanta Sun don't like Mr.. Gree
iey's letter OF acceptance. ''It contains
not one word Of oensure or disapproval
OF a single one OF the many gross and
palpable usurpations OF the present Ra>
dioal dynasty" sayeth the Sun.
The Cincinnati platform oensurcs and
disapproves Of multitude of these
usurpations. and Mr. Greelsy's letter
says. Of this platform:
II receive and welcome it as a sponta-
neous and deserved tribute to that ad-
mirable platform of principles wherein
your convention so tsrsely, go forcibly
set forth the conviction which impelled
and the purposes which guided it's

That's ''enough said" And if Mr..
Greeley had named all that he hos to
censure and disapprovo OF in Grants ad-
ministration, it would require three
years to read it. We approve of Mr..
Greeley's letter.

TIE RADICAL RRroRMERs.-On Mon

THK RADICAL RRFoRaIRRs.-On Mon
day evening, q crowd assembled in the
beautiful moonlight to hear the speaking
which took place in front Of the Repub-
lican office.
O. O. Bowen led of with short
speech, mainly directed toward r. z.
Scott. He called to mind the advice he
had given the people in 1870 not to re-
nominate man who had proved his in
capacity and dishonesty. All the ills he
had predicted as certain to result from
the reelection Of Scott had been more
than fulfilled. Ten millions had been
added to the debt of the State, taxes had
been increased, the State disgraced by
non-payment of her interest, her bonds
selling for quarter of their face, the
schools closed, and utter bankruptcy in
evitable. He said the next cam paign
would be between the thieves and the
citizens, and predicted victory for ho-
nest people.
He was followed by r. g. DeLarge,
who seemed to speak only because Bowen
had done 80. The main point of his re-
marks was that the white man was
mighty uncertain" and that the CO.
lored men should stick to their own race
in the selection of officers.
Gen. Smalls was then called for, and
gave slashing speech in favor OF a
moro careful scrutiny Of the character of
the next State ticket. He said that
Scott, Parker, Neagle and Chamberlain
were responsible for the fraud and mis-
management rampant in the State.
These men we're found by the Republl-
can party poor and unknown; they were
elevated to the highest Offices, which
they had prostituted to their own I'D
vantage, and now were millionairas
Such men were soon to be hurled from
power by an indignant people. There
were some OF this same kidney in Benu-
fort County. Men who had been en-
trusted with Office, but had used their
positions to acquire wealth. On the
small per diem Of members fortunes had
apparently been accumulated. These
would be attended to during the canvass.
W. J. Whipper was then loudly called
for. He excused himself from speaking,
but promised to give the people an &C.
count of whet had become Of the taxes
during the campaign.
The people seemed to enjoy the meet
ing hugely. and cheered each of the
speakers with great impartiality. The
significant point of the speeches was that
all harped upon the one string-reform.

SIXTEEN YEARS OF suooEss.-In 1853, the
now famous MUSTANG L1NIMENT was first
made known to the public BY an extensive
system OF Advertising. From that time to
the present the demand for it has been stead.
lily increasing until it has taken tho load OF
al! embrocations, lotions, ointments, and
other external remedies, impurted or domes-
tic, ever introduced into the American mar
kst. In the most celebrated racing and trot-
ting stables, in the establishments OF stage
and city oar companies. and in the stables OF
private gentlemen, it is the only recognized
cure for such diseases Of the horse as require
outward treatment. Nor il it less valuable
as local application fo- some Of the most
distressing complaints to which man is sub-
ject. Hheumatism, stiffness Of the joints,
neuralgia. soro throat, tumors, wens, ear
ache, tooth. acho, yield to its pain-subduing,

Seldom are thoughts Of such pregnant
meaning conveyed in words so few and
terso as those ne quote below, taken
from q conversation held with Judge
Black by correspondent OF the Wash
lngton Capital Speaking of the present
condition of affairs under Grants admi-
nistration, Judge Black said:
AS We gain our liberties through revo-
luton, it is a popular error to suppose
that they are lost through violence. The
loss comes in the slow, subtle and insidi-
ous enoroachment that first rots, and
then it seizes. as the boa. constructor
shines over what it swallows. All is gone
before We awaken to the danger Of its
going, and then comes revolution and
blood to regain what We have willingly
parted with. Now the revenues of the
Government are used to enrich incorpo.
rated monopolists, legislatures are owned
by railroad companies, Senatorial chairs
are openly sold to the highest bidders,
our courts are packed and corrupted,
the Presidency fought over by factions,
while the people are ground down by
heavy taxation 80 arranged as to rob
from labor to enrich the capitalists, and
we suffer from hard times that come Of
bad government. How much longer
this will be borne. God only knows; but
unless human nature is greatly changed,
sooner or later there will be resistance.
This is the opinion of our present con-
dition held by ripe statesman. whose
long experience lends weight to his jadg-
ment. And this is the state OF things
that no ANAL portion of our people
would see again fastened upon the coun.
try for another four years.

vey, was. that "when my civil and politi-
cal rights were in danger, did not care
what sacrifice was necessary OF life and
property-whether the bonded debt of
the State was increased to even $780,
600. 600. Now that these rights are &C.

government; and not in favor Of putting
a stick or stone into Office, for party, as
has heretofore been the rule"

oon'oatioHJ ho WAS uOI even upon the
committee which framed and reported
the Constitution, but was (as himself de-
clares) 30 constantly occupied in writing
his own journal and commentaries that
he had not time even to participate, to
any extent, in the debates of the Con-
vention. The title of ''father of the
Constitution" was bestowed upon Mr..
Madison for the following reasons: l.
Because he had first proposed the calling
OF the Convention to frame that instru-
ment. 2. Because he had 80 earnestly
and industriously advocated it in his
able essays in that admirable work called
the Federalist. 8. Because he had so
ably supported and carried its adoption
in the Virginia Convention against the
united opposition of all the other most
distinguished men of Virginia, amongst
whom WAS that great orator and states
man, Patrick Henry, who, with wonder
full prescience and prophetic vision, pre-
dicted the very infamous state of things
that now exists. Gnd declared that If the
Constitution, as it stood, should be
adopted without further restrictions
upon the General Government, it would
result (as it has) in few leading and
designing demagogues inducing Con-
gress to usurp all power, and to destroy
the prerogatives Of the executive and
tho judiciary. It may be regarded as
one of the signs of the degeneracy and
decentralization of the present era that
the importance and value of the Consti-
tuition in it's original purity are 80 utterly
disregarded, and that consequently its
authorship should be equally ignored
and neglected. Still, it is with o lingor-
ing hope that there may be yet some few
patriotic statesmen and scholars who
would be ashamed OF being ignorant OF
the authorship of tho greatest political
production of our country, and who
would wish to be able to answer the con-
stantly repeated inquiry of foreigners,

country?" am, cir. So.

JOHN TYLER.

When the death of General Har-
rison was made known to the Vice
President, he was living in an hum
to his friend Judge Waller, in the
quaint old town kof Williamsburg.
He had always been in Strengthened
circumstances, supporting his large
family on limited means, and he
was hardly able to comprehend the
change wrought in his condition by
the salary of Vice President, his
election to that position being a
piece of good fortune wholly unex-
pected. When he succeeded to the
Presidency he was bewildered in
contemplation of the enormous sum
of $25, goo which he was to receive
annually for the succeeding four
years. He spent about $4,000 in
the first eleven months after he
came to Washington, and on the 4th
of March, 1912, found himself con-
siderably in debt. The salary
seemed to him an inexhaustibie
fund, and he had gradually accumu-
ing of numerous retinue of SER
wants, fine stable of horses, and a
costly equipage, then regarded rs
luxurious and extravagant, but
which would now be thought plain
and humble to q degree hardly be-
fitting the dignity of the Executive
office. The affairs of the White
House were more economically
managed afterwards; the establish
ment was materially reduced and
Mr.. Tyler saved enough during the
remaining three years of his term
to pay for q modest estate on the
James river.
He was an admirable host, of
amiable department and winning
manners, always putting visitors
at their case, and dispensing the
inequalities of the Executive man
sion without formality or ostenta-
ton In the true spirit. of a Virginia
gentleman. He was frank, cordial
and courteous, credulous and I'M
suspicious, Impossible, of facile
mind, listening to everybody that
came near him, and apt to be con-
vert to the last argument presented
in the case. He wrote readily and
pleasantly, without great logical
force, but his rhetoric was always
unexceptionable. In conversation
he was fluent and agreeable, and
talked well and Interestingly, even
upon matters about which he was
only specifically informed He
was an emotional and sympathetic
msn, and an appeal to his Kindness
or beneVolence was rarely made in
vain.
Living in frugal manner, among
a rural population, he had formed
an exaggerated estimate of the pow.
er of the Federal patronage, and had
no doubt that a postoffice worth q

Hence, when he was persuaded thai

vacancies might be filed by those
who would employ their influence
