Columbia Ought to Furnish 1t.

Editor DAILY HERALD:
That the South needs a history
every true Southerner keenly real
ICES, and to a true southern teacher
the history of the Civil War, as given
in the majority of the text books
used in our schools, is stumbling
block of no small magnitude. 1t is
anything but an easy task to instruct
a class from a book whose language
is radically at variance with the
sentiment that those who fought for
the COnfederacy were gallant ana
loyal soldiers fighting for principle
and a conviction. They were brave
and they were honorable. They lost
their cause, their hearts, their all;
but they passed through the fire OF
defeat unscorcheG; and where is
nobler American citizen, to-day, than
the one that followed StOnewan Jack
son or Robert E. Lee?
The call through your valuable
columns for the history mentioned
fluids an echo in Thousand of hearts,
and following the desire to see such
a one published is the hope that Co
Ium bia, which, at the moment this
item is being written, is preparing to
brighten the graves of her fallen
heroes, may fall heir to the honor or
being the birthplace of a book that
the present South is sorely i'll need
of, and that Southern posterity Will
always receive with pride.
If the HERALD will find the one to
undertake this much needed aud too
long neglected enterprise, there Will
be no shortage in the number who
will lend helping hand.

HUNG JURY.
Ten for AcquittaI and Two for Murder
in the Second Degree.
Bail of the Defendant Reduced From
$4,000 to $1,000.

Couldn't agree.
Ten for acquittal and two for muir
der in the second degree is the way
the Jury in the case of j. II. Andrews,
charged with numbering Lev Aans-
dOwne, stood.
Yesterday morning the jury re
ported they could not agree, but
Judge Patterson gave them further
time to ponder over the evidence in
the case.
This morning however, they re-
ported they were still unable to
agree on a verdict, and Judge Patter-
son discharged them.
Judge Patterson granted the mo-
ton of Andrews council, to reduce
the bail from $10,0 600 to $1,000.
E. J. Cullen was tried Tuesday on
the charge of burglary, and sentenced
to the penitentiary for fifteen years

another. Cullen is the man who one
night last fall, came to Column bia and
in one night entered five or SIX
houses, and stole various articles, IN
Guiding some jewelry from Miss Kerr,
in West End, and two watches at the
home of Robert Ewing. One OF the
cases was submitted.
Ed. Carr was also tried on the
charge of completely in the burglary

proving an alibi by Nashville detec-

lookup at Nashville, on the charge
of vagrancy, on the night OF the
burglaries.

THE SOUTH NEEDS A HISTORY.
1t is Sin Against the HOnOred Dead to
Call Them Enemies.
Editor DAILY HERALD:

Editor DAILY HERALD:
Please accept my personal thanks
for the editorial in Mondays issue,
May 18th, entitled, "The South Needs
a History"
1t is SHINING against our honOred
dead; SHINING against our brave sol
diers who still live, to begin at the
tender age of ten years to teach their
progeny how to recite: During the
war of secession the enen1y's steam
ship Alabama wss destroyed by the
Kearsage." "Zhe enemy fell back,
and the Tennessee and Cum Oerland
rivers were cleared for hundreds OF
miles," "Mr. McClellan's army was
brought back in time, however,
and met the enemy defeating
and driving it back, bat not pursuing
it. The enemy recrossed the Potomac
defeated, but not discouraged" etc,
etc.
Talmage, the great Northern
Evangelist, in his sermon of Sunday
last, places the names of Robert E.
Lee, and StonewalI Jackson before
the name of u. s. Grant in his list OF
lllustrious Christians. Shall 1Oe
teach the children of their followers
to call their fathers enemies TO their
country? Is that the just interpreta-
ton of Gods command, "HonOr thy
father?"
In studying the "HistOry of Our
Country" if true one of the South
ern Confederacy has not been pub
lished, our children had best leave
that part to be studied when matured
in mind, when they are able to de-
termine for themselves whether or
not their fathers are their enemies

your valuable time,
Respectfully MRS. M. Il. ID.

GIVE THE POoR A CHANCE.
What Right Has the County Court to
Collect Toll,
when the Supreme Court Says Not?-
Open the Gates.

CANAAN, May 1S.-More rain, more
rest. All fair weather amt the best.
After the long drouth the farmers are
now complaining of a "leetle" too
much rain. And rain just nurtures
into existence the festive Colorado
beetle bugs, which are making sad
havoc on the farmers potatoes. But
it has been a good time to SCI out
cabbage and sweet pOtatOe plants.
The growing crop Of wheat, corn and
potatoes is very fiaterin0.
Mr.. Editor, your article on the
turnpike question of two weeks ago
is all right. If it was unlawful for
Rainey to run-the turnpike and take
toll, how can the County Court do
so? If the people have to pay toll,
why not as we'll pay it to Rainey as
to the commissioners?
Let us have free road awhile and
give the poor man a chance. The
Pulaski pike has been a free road
ever since 1861, with the exception of
one toll gate, and is a good road yet.
Give us free road from Columbia
to Mt. Pleasant. It's present rock bed
would do for the next fifty years and
then beat all the dirt roads in the
county. The poor man wants to so to
Columbia once in a while to sell his
truck and do some trading, or may
get caught on the jury, and he
ought to be allowed a chance.
You are right, Mr.. Editor; stand up
for the people and the people will
stand up to you. Stand up for Old
Pete and the Democratic party, and
the people will stand up for the HER
AID. FARMER.

A SOCIAL GATHERING.

The "Ladies Church Workers" of the
First Presbyterian Church had a social
meeting Tuesday at the residence o.
Mr. and Mrs. II. b. Cochran, where they
We're entertained by Mrs. +. Jones.
There were in attendance nearly every
member ofthe Society, besides the pas
tor and officers of the church who We're
there by special invitation. Messrs-
Morrison and Goddard were also pres
ent and eniOVed the social atmosphere
which surrounded the gathering. 1t
was regular business meeting Of the
"W OrkerS,' and their object in inviting
the officers to be present, was to demon
strate to them the manner and charac-
ter of work done by the members, as
well as permit them the rare privilege
Of enjoying the social Interchange Of
ideas which followed the dispatch: Of
such business as come before the body
The president, Mrs. Il. c. Cant, is Il
most excellent presiding officer, and her
words OF welcome were well chosen and
iitii OF cOrdiality.
some idea Of the work done by the
''N orkers" was gathered by the Secre-
taI.V'- minutes. which were written in
such beautiful, yet simple language;
but the fall scope Of the work done by
these ladies was afforded by reports
given when called for. These reports
show that the ladies are doing the work
that Christ commanded. They visit the
sick; and the widow in her affection;
they visit, console, and instruct the
fatherless, and comfort, clothe, and pro-
vide bread to Gods poor.
The report of the committee in charge
of the industrial school was most en-
couraging, and showed that the efforts
to teach the young girls OF the church
how to perform domestic duties were
appreciated by them, as is evidenced
by their attendance and willingness to
be instructed.
The topic, CHOW to Increase Spiritu-
atty in the Church." was discussed by
those appointed by the chair, and many
new suggestions were brought out III
the discussion, that Will doubtless be of
much practical value to those present.
Upon invitation, Rev. MIR. harrison,
Judge w. S. Flemining and w. s. Flem-
ing Jr., made short talks.
Elegant refreshments were served
by the hostess, assisted by Misses Bes-
sic and Louise Hendley, and the most
cordial sociability had sway for the re-
mainder of the afternoon.
These ladies are doing grand work,
one that is serving to build them up
spiritually, and one that is fast breaking
down the barriers which, so etfectually
prevents social intercourse, and the
answering of heart to heart.
The language of Mr.. Webster is most
appropriate; off we work upon marble
il will perish; If we work upon brass
time Will elface it; if we rear temples,
they will crumble into dust; but if we
work upon our immortal MINDS ana
cultivate the sensibilities of the heart,
if we Undue them with principles
the lust fear of GOd-we engraVe on
those tables something which will
brighten to all eternity"
Every one feels indebted to Mrs.
Jones and Mr.. and Mrs. Cochran, for
this delightful afternoon. The church
works Will hold it's next social meet
ing at the residence of Mrs. a. n.
Galloway on South Main street.
