An Explanation.

MIR EDITOR Simply to exhonorate
our pastor from the charge of having
gone into the Psalmody controversy
OF his own volitio1, and with no desire
for continuance of the controversy,
we ask the publication OF the following
explanation in regard to the matter
1t Is true that Mr. Ratchford wrote
the first article for public alton but
that was not its beginning. It started
more than five years ago in a conver
sation between tvs OF Unity's mem
bers and two OF Tirzah's. Since III at
time two sermons have seen preacheJ i
ut Unity (evidently for us) on Psalm
ody. Psalmody Literature na+ been
circulated among us, and our minis
ters charged with de,ryinx the
Psalms. At last TirZah became tired
of this agitation and Mr. Ratchford,
our pastor, was requested to defend
the hymns,
Since he has beeh accused of making
Ian unwarranted attack" we deem 1t
our duty to make this explanation.

paper representatives came from
various railroad stations across tae

country people were out in full
force but very few citizens of the
town Of Darlington were present.
An unusually large number of
ladies attended The meeting.
The crowd was the largest that
has attended anv of the meetin gs
thus lar, there being probably be-
tween 1900 and 1000 persons
present.
The meeting was on the whole
a quiet and orderly one. Only
once was there any serious danger
Of trouble, and that was when MIR
Waddill attempted to answer the
Governor. The crowd was un-
doubtedly for Tillman and John
Gary Evans. If cheeringis to be Ia

in the crowd seem to have come
to the meeting with the determ.- :
nation Of believing everythinp Q

Conservatives and Reformers:
Whereas, we have noticed with
much regret and sorrow that the two

think 1t would be wise to discontinue
the joint canvass so far as the United

doing. 1t would prevent dissensions
among neighbors and friends and
would be adding to the welfare OF all
concerned and perhaps prevent blood
