Plutocrat Replace Aristocrat.

The May meeting of the Virginia DEM
ocratic Association was held In Washing
ton last Friday night. The principal iea-
ture of the meeting was an address by
Mr.. Frank e. Anderson, candidate for
Conereas In the 9Th Virginia District,
upon "Tha Old and the New South"
he 'Old South" he said, sis no long
or misunderstood, but lie becoming the
chosen theme Of literature Issuing from
the Northern press. What bliss was
equal to the bliss OF living in the old
Suuth7 What have we better N this sell
fish age7 But the life OF the South could
not last. 1t was a civilization based on
agriculture, facing the civilization OF the
rest OF tho world based on commerce. Its
rulers were aristocrats who stood oppos-
ed to plutocrats, who were holding the
rest of the world 10 their province Of pur-
chase. It was inevitable that the Old
South should pass away. OF It's pass
ing, 7 need not speak. No man who low
ed the old South and now loves the
Union can dwell with pleasure on the an
guish of the great, proud and valiant race,
overwhelmed by overmastering odds n
subjected to an ignomintons coalition OF
emanelpated negroes and discharged SOL
diera of fortune, who stole from the
%Southerner his property and from his
State her freedom.
"For ten years thieves made our stat
utes, fools Interpreted them and knaves
enforced them. Butthe Democrats OF the
North fought the battle Of our salvation.
They stirred the pulse Of the public heart,
the walls of Jericho fell, and the New
South assumed control OF her destiries,
and resumed her place in the RECONSTRUCT
ted Union. What will the future bring
TO her? Her wealth is growing, her pop
ulation is increasing, and she has little
of that dangerous element which unfn:,s
the red flag of communism. Still in her
midst is fnurishing that chivalry which
makes each man the champion OF child
hood, womanhood and old age. But abe
has the negro in her midst. How shall
Jacob and Esau abide together in the
land? The old aristocrat gives place to
the new plutocrat. How shall we teach
him that money lie less than mani"

An Unfortunate Affair.

CHESTER, s. C., May 16.-A startling
sensation was occssioned here yesterday
about noon when it became known that
there were irregularities in the tax re
eeipts issued by County Treasurer John
B. McFadden.
A few days back one or two taxpayers
in the county found out by comparing
their receipts with the auditors books
that there was q mistake, they having
paid more han their returns called for.
These receipts were taken to the treas
urer, the misteE es pointed out and cor
rection asked for. Mr.. McFadden prompt
ly paid back the overcharge, and the par
ties were satisfied.
The rep"rt, however, was circulated
that something vas wrong at this Office
and yesterday taxpayers from the town
and several sections OF the county took
their receipts to the auditor and in nearly
-very case the receipts showed that q
greater amount had been paid than the
auditors books called for. This, Of
course, spread over the town like wild
Dire, and to.day it is known that these ir-
Irregularities nave been carried on for the
past FIVE years.
Mr., McFadden has been treasurer Of
Chester county for l6 years and was un-
doubtedly up to a week ago the strongest
man politically in the county. He had
the entire confidence OF the people of this
town and county and there was no other
treasurer in the State more eficiei t and
held in higher esteem by State ofbcit's,
and by his home people than was MI.
McFadden.
The extent Of these Irregularities or the
amount OF the overcharges that have been
'arried on Systematically, cannot be as
certained exactly.
Mr.. Mctodden acknowledges emhez
element and has not been in his Office
since yesterday at noon. Anxiety and
overcame him when he met his
mistake yesterday, aud he now
lies at home a very ill man.
The whole town was greatly surprised
and shocked at this most unfortunate af-
and everyone expresses the deepest
= ympathy for the fallen man and his sad
ly stricken family.
The trouble is altogether between the
aud the treasurer. The county
and State accounts have been settled cor
Solicitor Henry has written Comptroller
General Norton to take charge Of the Of
fce.-CotumbiG State.
