A GENTLEMAN
SO Many Elements Necessary to His Make
Up that Definition is Difficult.
[GreenviiIe News. |

1t is not the easiest thing in the
world to do to furnish definition of 3
gentleman; SO many elements enter
into tie meaning Of the term in its
fullest comprehension.
1t takes something inside to make
gentleman, but it takes something out
side also. Along with the essential in
ternal qualities, principles, sentiments
and impulses, there must likewise be
numbered certain propriety and re-
fiuement ofspeech and manner. Where
the spirit is wanting, the hollow out
side will seldom impose for any length
OF time on tolerably acute observer.
On the other hand man can not have
the true internal spirit without it
evinring itself outwardly. A person
may have the true spirit of a gentle
man. and also the manners of one in a
degree to entitle him to the appellation
and yet lack the delicate Difference,
nice tact, simple and exquisite grace
and courtesy which stamp with an
ineXplicable charm the thoroughbred
and perfect gentleman.
Nobility of soul, honor, the courage
to do right, respect for Gods image in
every human soul, delicacy, gentle
ness and kindness of spirit are essent,
ials in every gentleman's general make
up.
He is one who never takes credit
when he does not deserve it.
Neither gold can buy, nor wild horses
drag him from the path ofright. The
scorn with which he repels all attempts
upon his honor, is sometimes called
pride, but it is very different from the
mere self-esteem and selt-importance,
arrogance and superciliousness which
demand, homage from all, seeking to
humble others. 1t is rather feeling of
disdain and disgust at what is base, and
that erectness of spirit which must ac-
company the consciousness of merit.
Your real gentleman has respect for
everything respectable in others, and
whilst modest in speaking of himself,
he speaks frankly, freely, gladly in
praise Of others nobleness.
Respecting Gods creatures his i'm
pulses towards them are delicate and
considerate, prompting him TO gentle
thoughts and kind judgment, and these
sentiments are manifested in speech,
tone and manner. So MANY people are
merely civil or polite out Of regard for
what is due themselves. They lack the
true ring of gentility which will never
deliberately, wantonly, needlessly
wound the feelings of others, trampie
on their self-respect, or self-loye, or in
any way discompose them, put them
out of countenance, or make them i'll
at ease. This is what We call courtesy
the outward and visible manifesto
tior ofa gentle and kindly spirit, which
comes from and goes to the heart.
True courtesy is the perfect outward
form of the gentle and kindly spirit
the flower and aroma that springs from
those twin roots, and is one of the most
graceful and gracious, lovely and win
ming things that delights human eyes,
and charms human hearts.

most apologies for DR.. Pope: but re-

"No, mamma, let me lie down, I'm
SO sleepy"
"Let him lie down, daughter" said
Mr.. Davis, who, as all grandfathers do,
humored the child.
"No, you must say your prayers,
deary," persisted Mrs. Hayes, who
knows the effect of good habit of
life and the value of living up to
rule.
"Oh, mamma, God knows I am
tired. He won't care if I don't say
my prayers this time"
And this is the lineal descendant of
Jefferson Davis. They say he looks
like his grandfather, but it is hard to
discern in his rounded featueres much
likeness to the guant face with the
tuft of beard under the chin made so
familiar by the war prints.

AS was generally expected, Governor
Tillman, of South Carolina, somewhat
"astonished the natives by his speech

simply and uneduivocally a Democratic
speech warp and woof and filling. He

$4,000 REWARD.
A Big Reward Offered tor Railroad
Wreckers.

Augusta Chronicle.l
This is the kind of reward that
catches g criminal.
1t is very seldom, indeed, these days,
that a reward OF this large amount is
offered for the arrest and conviction of
a criminal, but this is the size of the
reward which the Richmond and Dam
vile road offers this morningin All ad-
vertisement published all over the
country for the arrest and conviction
Of The person or persons who wrecked
the train OF the Western North Caro-
lima road, which resulted il the death
of so many persons.
The advertisement reads as follows:
The Richmond and Danville road
will pay $4,000 for the arrest and con-
viction o. the person or persons who
removed the rail from the track of the
Western North Carolina railroad, near
Bostian's bridge, Iredell county, \. c.,
on the night of Wednesday, Aug. %,
1891. w. H. GREEN,
General Manager.
Every one is familiar with the story
Of this horrible catastrophe, in which
twenty-four persons lost their lives and
as many aore were badly injured.
4 thorough investigation was made
into the cause Of the accident by the
coroner's jury, and it was found that 3
number of feet of the track had been
removed, which caused the train to
take its fearful plunge into the ravine,
sixty-five feet below.
This reward vii! no doubt bring the
finest detectives to work on the case,
and the guilty parties will probably he

off the German sentiment by advancing
the idea that if the Democratic nomi-
nation is to 60 south CT the Middle

suppose that the Democracy Of New

THOSE AWFUL NEWSPAPERS.

i. AL reference to the particular
matter the Senator objects to, after the
August Sth issne was in repelling the
assaults of the Senator's newspaper
friends, who apparently felt charged
with the defence Of the Senator's re-
ported language. None Of them until
one last week, so far as I know, ques-
toned The possibility of the language
being inaccurate; nor did such pcsslbili-
tv ever occur to my mind. They ac-
cepted the phTaseo!ogy as uuquestion-
ably correct, but denied my construc-
ton of it, without giving any rational
! meaning.

order OF deorte was fixed upon by the
committee, and IaccepteAit. Certainly

and don't consider that I htd any under

have no desire to hold him to q con-
struction he does not desire it to carry,
and hence T ask special attention to
the Senator's explanation Of his posi-
ton.
But must hold that in the absence
of limitations upon the meaning OF
language, it is legitimate to construe 1t
according to the ordinary rules Of con-
struction. I submit it, therefore, tot the
Senator as a fair minded and logical
reasoner, whether the language cred
tied to him by these three papers, and
allowed to pass without denial--bear-
ing in mind always that the discus
sion was upon the only plan that pro-
poses to borrow at per cent and that
the Alliance is the only body in this
State which advocates such plan

man aud logician, whether the con-
struction I placed upon it was not
logical and natural.
I submit to him further. whether,
until his correction and explanation
appeared, the public were not justified
in interpreting it in q natural arc
rational way with The context; anc
whether he should not at least give
some other construction to the Ian
guage, if indeed he does not deny 1t.

1t might be pertinent to ask also
since the interrogative style is in vogue
why I am singled out for rebuke il
this matter. The application Of hi

The reply of DR.. Stokes, which will
appear in the Cotton Plant next Satur-
day, is as follows:
SENATOR BUTLER's CoMMUNICATIoN.
The attention of our readers is invited
to a communication from Senator But
Ter anent the Prosperity debate and
certain editorial comments thereon II
the Cotton Plant. In view of the aou-
sive eithets the Senator is repor ed to
have INDUCED in reference to this paper
in his recent Asheville and Edgefield
interviews, I might justly consider that
that Senator had placed the whole
matter beyond the pale of courteous
reply or even notice. But as his COM
munication to the Cotton Plant is
couched in language Of a courteous
nature, and presents personal grlev'
ance of injustice done him by the Cot,
ton Plant, I shall notice again the
points he refers to, The committee IN
charge at Prosperity, as well as myself,
were justly surprised and indignant
when the fair man we had taken the
Senator to be unfairly shifted the ground
of debate, even in the face Of their pro
test. Yet when he comes, now as the
injured party, asking fairness at the
hands Of the Cotton Plant he will al
ways be fairly met and accorded hear
ing. The ear Of the Cotton Plants audi
ence will never be denied an honest
claim for justice that is couched IL
courteous and fair language. Before
answering the Senator's question, how
ever, we ask attention to some general
considerations:
TwEEDLEDUM AND TwEEDLEDEE.
l. The Senator justly recognized the
difference between the relation of the
debater and the editor, though the
same individual, to this whole sub
ject.
.. The Cotton Plant was not repre-
sented at the debate.
3. The file of this paper for August
which was sent the Senator from thi
office, shows that the first issue afte
the debate had not a word, EDITORIAL.
or otherwise, about the debate. Th
speeches might have been allowed t.
rest upon their merit. But after th
newspaper supporters of the Senator, IL
every possible way, sought to prejudic
the Alliance side of the discussion, an
after the Senator himself gave an inter
view in Washington, in which he wa
representented as claiming everything
having ''completely used up two sut
treasury champions in joint debate a
Prosperity it seemed not improper i
the Cotton Plant to point out some
the vulnerable points of the Senator
speech.
