The Charleston ':News and Cour-
ier" is making As much ado over the
trolley" as did the Chinaman when
he saw his first railroad. He said:
"NIelican man glate; he lide widout
horse to pullee, but he goee Ikee
hellee alice samee." The "News and
Courier" realizes the fact that Charles
ton is not desecrated, even with q
little progressive spirit infused into
her veins, and now if she will incul-
cate respectful obedience to law
and do away with the idea that the
world bows down before Charleston,
we believe brighter future will be
in store for that city. Why, we ac-
tually think if Charleston will get a
little move on herself, she will regain
the population lost by the driving
out OF white labor from her only cot
to- 2ctorv to make room for negroes.
BI'5t of your trolley cars as much as
you please and we country folk will
rejoice with you in Your every pro
gressive move. But, oh. Charleston,
when YOU cast out from your factories
white men, women and children to
make room for negro labor that can
be obtained for a little less money,
We weep for the shame you have
committed. Can it be possible that
this throwing out Of white labor is
the advance agent of prosperity" the
News and Courier predicted if
Bryan was defeated?

The committee appointed to inves-
tigate the charges made by Mr.. L. J.
Williams against Col. Wiley Jones,
chairman OF the State Board of Con-
troll, have finished their work and a
majority ezonerated Colonel Jones
from the charges made. Mr.. J. B.
Douthit sustains Mr.. Williams
charges and the board is about as
near now as they ever will be % get
ting their jealousies settled. We
think the best way out Of the trouble
is for The whole board to resign and
let the Governor replace them with
men who have no political grudses
to pay or any political aspirations to
CRAFTY. As long as the present board
have charge Of the Dispensary the
thing will be in g tangle, as it is very
evident that harmony among them
is impossible, and no business can be
a success where there is so much con-
tention in the management. Colonel
Jones showing has every appearance
Of being a Straightforward and an
honest presentation Of the manage
ment and his part in it. His answers
to the charges are clear and convinc-
ing. Mr.. Douthit in his minority re-
port does not attempt to show where
Colonel Jones has misrepresented the
facts, but he repeats the charges
made by Williams and sticks to his
friend. We submit that with such a
condition there is little chance for
harmony and if Douthit and Williams
are honest in the belief of the charges
against Jones they will be showing to
the public more sincerity if they re-
sign themselves. How Williams and
Doutbit can remain on board with
a man they charge with ':oficial mis-
conduct" is incompreheusible. Some
body ought TO resign, and If the
whole board won't, then the two who
are unsustained, should.

SOME PERTINENT QUESTIONS.

For the purpose Of settling dis
puted question, we propose asking
Solicitor J. II. Johnson, who is can
date for Congress, few questions
and we hope that he will answer them
freely and frankly:
l. Did you support what was
known IN 1890 as the Haskell ticket?
2. Was there a fusion ticket in
Marion County voted in the election
of 1890, and if so, was not that ticket
brought out against the ticket nomi-
mated in the Democratic primary?
3. Did the fusion County ticket
have the negroes upon it?
4. Did you vote the fusion ticket
composed Of white men and negroes?
5. Did you support Hon. E. T.
Stackhouse, the Democratic nominee
for Congress?
6. Did you vote for Edmund H.
Deas, the negro candidate against
Hon. E. T. Stackhouse9
These questionsa are not propounded
in spirit Of idle curiosity, nor are
they asked at the instance Of any
candidate who will be in the race
with Mr.. johnson, but they are asked
at the request Of a voter of this
County.
The voters Of this district have a
right to know something of the rec
ord of aspirants for high honors, that
they may vote intelligently we think
a candidate should answer all politely
made questions as to his political
past or present. We know Mr.. John
son slighly, and from what little con-
tact we have had with him, we have
found him most agreeable gentle
man and one who, we believe, will be
candid enough to deal fairly with the
people. If he voted for negroes
against regularly nominated white
Democrats he will say so. and We will
take great pleasure in publishing his
reply to the questions we have pro-
pounded.
We desire it understood that We
do not assert that Mr.. johnson did
support the Haskell ticket, nor do we

Col. J. J. Dargan has emerged from
his long retirement to have a two
column communication in the Sun
day News" in which he defends the
Northern historians. Colonel Oar
gan thinks the historians of the North
have treated the South fair and that
slavery was sin. He is in line with
Trent, who attempted to besmirch
bis own Southland to win the plaud-
its of the North. Colonel Oarsan
misrepresents the South as much as
did ever any writer of the North.
We think it would be far better for
the colonel to gather himself together
and with his Yankee views take up
his abode in the land where his Gar
risonian ideas are better appreciated.

The grand Jury Of Charleston has

The grand jury Of Charleston has
again made spectacle OF itself by
bringing out strongly worded pre-
sentiment against the Dispensary
officials The cheek OF these grand
Jurors cannot be eqaalled anywhere in
the Union; they tiagrantly violated
their oaths in refusing to find true
bills upon positive evidence and then
turn around and present the Dispen-
sary officials. Such conduct will not
help to give the people in the couE-
try the confidence they would like to
have in Charleston, and probably the
citizens of that city will learn some
day the causes for her falling off Of

HOURBON, Ind, September 25.-Ear-
ly in 1859 John Carrolton. then a
4 Sboy of IA years, struck his mother
in a sudden fit of anger. His father
punished the boy very severely for the
act, in spite of his mothers expressed
wishes to the contrary This caused the
boy to harbor deep resentment and the
determination to abandon his home. The
same night his mother gave him a COM
mission to go to the village and purchase
some family supplies. His manner con-
WINGED her that he had determined to run
away, and she told him that no matter
how long he might remain there would
always be a light in the window to guide
him home.
That night he disappeared. That night
the sorrowing mother put the lighted lamp
in the window. Many years passed away.
but during all that time the neighbors al
ways saw that same -.ght in that same
window when night fell. There it burned
all through the long weary nights until
last week. Twenty years passed and no
tidings were received Of the wanderer The
father succumbed to age and grief and
laid away in the cemetery Then
the widowed mother resumed her vigil,

man stepped from it. He noticed the light
blazing down the path to the station and
inquired the cause Then he heard the
story of a mothers love and faith. He
learned also that the aged mother was
lying sick and dying. 1t was John Car
