A Foul S!ander.
Aug. Is, 1886.

Editor PICAYUNE:-The canvass has opened and your correspon- dent was present at some of the speaking The Greenback candi- date for representative made some statements which would put 10 shame the Chicago anarchists and insulted the honor and character of every man, woman and child in Nevada county. He certainly thinks the people of this county are fools. In political canvasses, we expect much that tends to ex cite the people to the support of the party each aspirant represents, i, but we surely expect thas the pre- cincts of home and the honor oi the wives and daughters of our citizens should at least be sacred from the touch of public slander- CT.
 Capt, Ansley said at Boushton and elsewhere, that .if things go on as they are, in ten years the people of this county will be sell ing the virtue of their wives and daughters 10 live He does not deny making this statement.
 Our Constitution guarantees the liberty of speech to every man, but there is a limit beyond which even the Constitution cannot go.
 Is there a man in this county to whom the above is not an insult? We have men who for tour years walked with bare feet over the snow and sand of the South in de fense ofa cause they loved. They know what hunger is, and are ac- quaintcd with suffering. They passed through scenes that tried mems souls, and now for them to be insultcd with statements like the above, is too much for human endurance to stand. Every man in Nevada county V ho has a wife, a daughter, a mother or sister should rise up and throttle this vile traduccr of their homes. We respect and honor our Greenback friends, but we appeal 10 them 10 wake up and resent the insults that arc being heaped upon us. Party lines should be disrcgarded to stamp the author of such islander. ons statements with the contempt which he deserves at the hands of an intelligent and honest people Docs he forget we are Americans' Does he forget we are descendants of the Revolutionary fathers' if had made this statement to the peO. pie of Nevada county, l would crawl away upon some solitary spot upon which the sun had never shone, and where a moonbeam had never til- tered through tue darkness that hoyered there, and while worms gnawed at my heart of stone, l would pray that vutures might feed npon my worthless clay,

HON. THOS. c. McRAE.

The above gentleman was last Wedncsday nominated for re-clec- ton to Congress from this district by exclamation. See proceedings of Convention held at Camden elsewhere.
 The Democratic party in thus honoring our fellow-townsman, but gives him justice. Mir McRae has ever fulfilled fully, every duty i'm posed upon him by the party, and to send him back to our National assembly by our people is d proper return for his valuable services.
 While in Congress but part of one term, he having filled out the unexpired term of Hon Jas K Jones, MT McRae was an active and efficient member. He intro dnced q number of important bills, some of which passed the House but failed in the Senate. His bill to protect homestead settlers with in railway limits, passed both houses and became law.
 As yet no opponent is out against NIT McRas, and even if there were, he would be elected by an overwhelming majority.
 "Our Tomn has so far reflected much credit both upon himself and this district, in.Congress. Energy and perseverance will always win, and hence, we therefore think a bright future lies out before tour TOm.n

Barbecue in Jackson Township.

Thursday on our return from Camden from the Congressional Convention, we stopped at Caro- lima church, Jackson township, at a big barbecue. X large crowd of people were out, {many visitors from surrounding townships) a large proportion being women and children. And here we will say Jackson township has many bcauti. full, rosy-cheeked maidens, full of life, that she shonld feel proud of.
 In the morning the Rev. Dr. Pharr, of Ouachita county, and W. V. Tompkins, of Prescott, made fine temperance addresses. We have not space for comment fur ther than to say that the people seemed alive on the temperance question, and large majority will vote ''no license.n
 About 1 o'clock D, m, every. body was invited to we'll arranged tables topartake of dinner. There were barbecued shoat, mutton beef, etc, in abundance, and plen- ty of best bread, cake, etc. All enjoyed the dinner immensely. and pronounced it as fine as ever partaken before. We ne> CT tasted more palatable or better barbecued meats in our life-it was simply perfectly fixed up.
 After dinner Judge A. B. Will Hams made a short address, non. political, on current events, but was interrupted, and his remarks s cut short by an approaching rain. storm. which finally failed to ma tcrialize.
 The good people of Jackson township are in the habit of unit ing and giving big barbecue cv- cry year. The one We have just described, WAS one of their most pleasant and successful. Politics are always left out. We must say in conclusion we meyer saw more hOspitable people.
 We made many new acquaintan- tances, which we trust will con. time as lifelong friendships; also secured a dozeu or more new sub scribers. And here we return thanks to Messrs. J. F.. Shell and EC Mendenhall for special courte sies extended us.

 We invite an investigation of the management of the county 5 business affairs by our officers dur ing the past two years, as compaf- ed with the management oi the same by the Greenhack officers the proceeding four years. Facts, as disclosed by the records, have been published in the PIcAYUNE, showing that in the four years that the offices were III the hands of the Greenbackers, our county's debt was increased more than $17,0OO, while in the past two years our officers with less rev cnues than the Greenbackers had, have decreased the debt more than S5,009. We can only presume II the Greenback again get con- trol of the offices, that the same course of management will be pnr' sued by them, and our county fur ther involved in debt. The record of the two parties with respect to this matter is before yon, and we submit that your own interest re quires of you to support that party whose officers best manage the bus mess ofyour county, and this we be- lieve you will do by casting your vote for the nominees of the Dem ocratic party.

THE Greenbackers are forever condemning the railroads saying they are not taxed. This is not true. All railroad property in this state is taxed, by laws enact ed lately by a Democratic Legis- laturc, and to-day the railroads pay over half the money for taxes that finds it's way into the treasu. ry of the State. So friend, remem Der this, and vote with the democ- racy, which has greatly reduced your taxes and yet gi>en vou good government. Also remember Capt Ansley voted against taxing rall roads.

and sisters of all our citizens, in order to make political capital tor himself and party, as Capt.

The plank of 1876 above, is copi- cd from the Greenback platform of 1876, and the plank of 1884, leight years later) from the platform of 1884. No amount of squirming eau change things as they stand.
 Any one can easily perceive the great change in the platforms.
 In 1876, their platform demand ed United States notes (greenbacks) convertible, on demand, into Unit ed States obligations (bonds) bear ing interest at the rate of 3.65 per cent. per annum. which is higher rate than the government is now paying on its bonds, taking the av- craze.
 In 1881. their platform turns squarely around against interest bearing obligations, or bonds, when 1t said: "We want that money which saved our country in time Of war and which has giv. en it prosperity and happiness in peace" This war money, here spoken of is irredeemable paper en rency. Who eyer saw a great. CT change in party platform? IL

The South Carolina Synod, which met

in Cheraw last week, again devoted
the greater portion of its time to the
Woodrow complication. DR.. Gerardeau
introduced the following resolution,
which was adopted by vote OIL to A.:
Resolued, That this Synod, being deep.
ly sensible of its responsibility for the
administration Of the high and solemn
trust reposed in its hands in connection
with the Theological Seminary, and
deeming it important to the future vel.
fare and efficiency of that institution that
DR.. Woodrow should withdraw from rela-
tion to it, hereby requests him to signify
to the Synod at once, his willingness to
tender to the board of directors at an
early day his resignation of the Perkins
chair.
The resolution was telegraphed to DR..
Woodrow, and his resignation requested.
He answered declining to resign under
existing circumstances. The Synod then
passed resolution to the effect that, with
the concurrence of the other Synod,, the
board of directors of the Theological
Seminary request him to resign, and if
he shall not accede the board shall de.
clare the professorship vacant. Three
members of the Board of Trustees were
also elected as follows: Rev. j. @.
McMullin, Rev. J. g. Law and Prof. B..
E.. Sheppard, all anti Woodrow men, so
that the majority of the Board is now
opposed to DIR. Woodrow. The session
is considered decided victory for the
opponents of DR.. Woodrow.

Atlanta's Year of Drought.

ATLANTA, Ga, October 19.-For the
frat time Atlanta is to-day complete
prohibition city. Not drop of any in:
toxicating drink can be legally sold
within it's limits, and from this time be.
gins the real test of prohibition. All
the barrooms were closed on July l last,
but several wholesale Licenses held over.
They have been expiring gradually until
o.day, when there was only one in the
city, aud that would have expired six
days from now, but by decision of the
Supreme Court of the State to-day that
store was closed, which shuts the last
place. Two weeks ago the city council
passed resolution allowing the city
brewery to deliver beer in the city to res.
licences on order. Mayor Hillyer last
night vetoed this measure, which now
makes the city absolutely prohibition.
The city authorities are mostly Plohibi-
bitionists and the law will be rigidly en-
forced. Prohibition will have fair
trial from now at least till November a
year hence.
