REV. EAToN's LECTURE Was
delivered last Thursday evening to a
large and appreciative audience. 1t
was one Of the most instructive and
entertaining lectures ever delivered in
this city. His manner was easy,
graceful and pleasing, He enjoys an
excellent voice for speaking. His
ideas of 1.-The coming man and his
wife, " could not very we'll be i'm
proved or enlarged upon. His puus
throughout the lecture were choice
and well put in. He kept his audi
ence la good humor the entire evening.
In speaking Of Abraham Lincoln, Geo.
Washington and others Of our honored
dead, he brought out efecting ex-
amples Of what the coming man and
his wife ought to be. IF the present
generation would attain that height of
excellence that 1.-The coming man and
his wife were pictured to attain, we
might expect more happiness and joy
among our people to-day. Mr.. Eaton
is cultured singer and has sweet
tenor voice He favored his audience
with several Of his choice selections
which were heartily received. Every
body present seemed elated over his
lecture, therefore we judge that
all were well pleased. It was
financial success

then, but was elected in 1882 II he has
taken less than the five dollars per diem
now allowed members and turned the bal
ance over TO the County, we have yet to
learn the fact.
Our oihcinl acts as member of the Leg
lslature are of record and We invite inspec-
tion. We always voted for low salaries. In
= 1877, when the Democrats came into DOW
er, tho members of the Legislature were
entitled to salary Of 5000, for every re-
gular or special session. There was re-
guiar session in 1876, during the existance
of the dual government, and an extra ses-
sion in the spring of 1877. The members
were entitled under the law to $500 for
each session. which would have amounted
TO 81 200, but by resolution we agreed to
take only FIVE hundred dollayr, which barely
paid expenses, for the two sessions, and
voluntarily surrendered seven hundred dol
ars Of our salary to the State. We have
done this much for the State. Can Mr..
Field say as muchl But whether our sery.
icesto Piokens County and to the State
have been worth the amount Of salary paid
us or not we leave the citizens of pickens
County to judge.
AS to eur holding the position Of Direc--
tor Of the Penitentiary when member of
the Senate, We will say tha. we were elect ed
to the position by the Legislature without
any solicitation whatsoever on our part.
and was reelected after our first term had
expired without opposition. At that time
the question Of the constitutionality OF
members of the Legislature holding the po-
s't!on had not been raised, or thought of as
far as we know. The low and INSULTING
language In which he refers TO this, We
shall treat with contempt, only calling il
TO the attention of the voters Of 'Pickens
County in order that they may judge of the
low instincts that govern the man who pre-
lends to represent them in the Senate. We
have said nothing about Mr.. Field that
justiiies such language. We did not know
how he voted on the bill to pay commits
sioners and managers of elections, and did
not have him in the back part of our head
when we wrote the article. But he must

We have always been, open and indepen-
dent In our course, and have never been
demugtgue enough to eleotioneor with the
voters Of this County by promising to do
something for the poor man If he would help
elect us TO office. Neither have we ever
misrepresented our opponent for the pur
pose Of securing votes.
We would advise Mr.. Field TO take few
lessons in orthography before he rushes into
print again.
In conolsion we viii say that this con
troversey has not been sought or provoke
by us. II hos been forced by Mr.. Field.
We have given him a-hearing and made our
reply, and this ends II so far as the columns

eating the doctrine of State sovereignty. 1t
is bcttor late than not at all.
The Court also decides that law Of the
State Of Kentucky, which prohibits the
drawing of colorcd men on the juries is
unconstitutional.
The Court also decided the miscegenation
case of Tony Pace against the State of Ala
bama. which was a criminal proceeding un.
der the State law against q coored man liV-
ing in sexual relations with white wo-
man. The Court holds that the law of Ala

thnt il applies the same punishment to both
offenders; white and black, without discrim-

w. 7. Field and His Personal Slang.


We publish elsewhere in this issue of THE
8EaTNRL communication from MIR. W. T.
Field, I'm which he asserts that we have
denounced the Legislature for passing GER
tain Acts. This is not true. We have
made such criticisms of certain Acts of the
Legislature as we thought they deserved,
and have commended it for other Acts, but
not one syllable or line written by US can
be justly construed as a denuncietion. But
the communication IS equally untrue in
other respects and Is characteristic of the
man who wrote It. It shows that his mind
IS not capable Of rising to the plane of legi-
Fmate argument, and that in his heart
rankles q poisonous venom only awaiting an
notice the communication were it not that
it comes from what ought to be q respeota-
