Camden to participate in the exercises of

Camden to participate in the exercises of
lsying the corner stone of the monument
which was erected In that town by the
State to the memory of Gen. DeKalb, one
of the Revolutionary heroes. During the
late war she was President of an organizes
tion known as The Soldiers Rest, which
cared for many poor Confederate soldiers.
She was devoted to the Confederate cause,
and worked zealously night and day to
contribute to the comfort and happiness
of our noble heroes in those trying days.
She was most intelligent energetic wo-
man, and was ready to give her time and
labor to any worthy cause. Since her
girlhood she had been a devoted member
of the Presbyterian Church, and was an
exemplary Christian throughout her life.
For the past several years she had been
living in Charleston with her only daugh-
ter, Mrs. Eliza Snowden, and about two
months ago came to Anderson to spend
the summer with her son. She had en-
joyed remarkably good health all of her
life, and was sick only five days preceding
her death. She passed away with repre-
sentatives of four distinct generations sur-
rounding her bed, all of whom realized
that their venerable mother had gone to
dwell with the Angels in Heaven. On
Saturday afternoon her remains were laid
to rest in Silver Brook Cemetery, brief
funeral service being coIs..7cted at the
grave by Rev. DR.. Friersoflshe leaves
three sons, Messrs T. B., A. Y. and W. 8.
Lee, and one daughter, Mrs. Snowden, to
cherish her memory.

laws are such as they want. Good ana
able judges have been left out and partl-

about one half of the Reformers, or say
25, 900 voters in the State, are now mana,
glng affairs, and debating men and
measures to all the voters. This condi-

Answer These Questions.

ME-. EDITOR: hand you the following
questions to be answered by those who ID
yor and advocate the Dispensary lay.
Are not suicides and homicides commit
ted, or liable to be committed from the ef.
fects of Dispensary whiskey7 Ifso, upon
whose hands rests the blood of such cases
Is it not clear that it must rest upon those
who advocate, make and voluntarily en-
force the law? Is Dispensary whiskey
free from the usual awful consequences Of
whiskey drinking? Does not the WOE"
pronounced against an individual! for
aputting the bottle to his neighbor's lips"
apply with equal force to States and cor
porations of any kind? VIII not Dis
pensary whiskey make drunkards of our
sons, brothers, husbands and fathers, the
same as any other kind? Will not Dig
pensary whiskey fill drunkard's graves
and send men to hell as well as other
kinds? Is it not as cheap and as easily,
obtained? Ought not the State pay full
damages to wife and mother, with help,
less children, who loses husband and
father by the direct or indirect effects OF
Dispensary whiskey; and is not the State
bound by everything sacred to do go?
Has State the right-moral right-to al
lict the people with business recognized
everywhere as monstrous evil?

oroker's Proposed Retirement.

Political circles not only in New
York, but also in other parts of the
country, are agitated to a greater or less
extent by the announcement that Mr..
Richard Croker, who for years has been
the leader of Tammany hall and the
great political boss of New York, has
determined to retire from the active
political management of the Tammany
organization. 1t is expected that Mr..
Croker will make the announcement OF
his proposed retirement to-day by re
signing the Craftsmanship of the finance
committee of Tammany.
The only reason Mr.. Croker gives for
retiring is that he is greatly in need OF
rest--that his physician tells him that
he is endangering his life by the mental
strain to which his position subjects him.
Two or three years ago he was pros
trated by the worry and trouble incident
to his leadership, and for a time it was
thought he had about reached the end
of his career, He now proposes to pu,
the greater portion Of the responsibih-
ties and worries of the Tammany leader
ship upon other shoulders.
The understanding seems TO be that
Tammany will not in future be directed
by single leader, but by a committee
composed of four or five of the ablest men
of the organization. 1t is expected that
Mr.. Croker will be one of the committee
The reason Mr. Croker gives for his re
tirement from his position of power is not
it is thought, the only one. He has be
come the target for all those who are dis
satisfied with the Tammany government
of New York city. The fact that he has
accum ulated a very large fortune within
the last six years is pointed at as evi
dence that he has used his power to make
himself rich. How he got his riches the
public is not informed, and he is continu.
ally annoyed by the suggestion that

They Understand the Platform.

The democrats of Pierce county and
other counties in South Georgia under
stand the national democratic platform,
and they are not prepared to condemn the
administration because it prefers to stand
squarely on the platform instead of slid
ing off it and following a lot of congress-
men who are willing to make concessions
TO populists with the hope of capturing
populist votes. The resolutions adopted
by the Pierce county democrats at their
mass meeting Tuesday are in strict ac-
cordance with the national democratic
platform.
That platform does not contain decla-
ration in favor of the free coinage of sill
YER Only the platform of the populists
contains such declaration. The demo-
cratic platform is unequivocally and en-
phatically in favor of sound money
sound silver money, sound gold money
and sound paper money-and that is the
kind of money that every democrat ought
to be in favor of
The Democratic party is in favor of
sound money because it is an honest
| mans party, and also because the farmer
and wage Garner, as its platform de
clares, would be the first and greatest
! sufferers from unsound money. The free
coinage of silver, without any provi-
sion for maintaining the parity between
! gold and silver money, means unsound
money-a debased currency, That is
what the financial plank in the populist
platform would give us if it could be put
into operation. 1t is refreshing to find
that the farmers and merchants OF
Pierce and other South Georgia counties
are so much better informed in respect
to the national democratic platform, and
so much more ready to defend it than
are the farmers and merchants of Rich
mond county, in which is situated the
! thriving city of Augusta.
