That Touched Lce's Heart.
Washington Post
"Gcn. Robert e. Lee once told me
Of an ovation he received that touched
him more than any demonstration ever
made in his honor" said the venerable
Judge White of Virginia. "Followinc
closely on the surrender of The South
crn army, the COMMUNICATIVE chief of
the Confcdclacy went to pass a season
at the home of his friend, e. r.. Cooke
who ran as the POpulist candidate for
Governor against Col. O'Fcrrall. After
II few weeks Of the most hospitablc and
elegant entertainments, Gen. Lee was
called to the presidency Of the Wash
jngt0n and Lee U ivcrsity. Bidding
his kind friends adicu, he started for
Lexington on horse back and alone.
He had gone some miles and was pass
ing through a rather drca,y stretch of
wooded country, when he cspicd plain
old cOuntryman mounted on q sorry
nag coming toward him. AS they
passed each other they bowed, as is the
fashion South when strangers meet in
out-of-thc-wav places, but the old farm
the soldicrly figure as tho gh not quite
certain of rcco ynition. lie went his
way little further, thcn turning his
horse around, cantcrcd back, and soon
came up with the General again.
"I beg pardon, sir, but Is not this
Gen. Robert Lee %
"'Ics, L am Gen. Lee. Did ever
meet you before, my friend p
"Thcn the old Confederate grasDcd
tho chicftain's hand and, with the tears
streaming down his face, said: sGcn.
Lee, 40 you mind if 1 cheer you p
Tho General assured him that he
didn't MUD, and there Oh that lone
some pincbor.lcrcd highway, with no
one else IN sight, the old rebel veteran,
WIN swinging hat, lifted up his voice
IN three ringing rounds of hurrahs for
the man that the Southland idolizcd.
Then both went their way without an.
othor word being spoken"

THE PROHIBITIONSTs.
Will Ask tho Legislature to Abolish
tho Dispcnsary.

The prohibitionists arc going to
make an active canvass to secure the
repeal OF tho dispensary law Mt tho
next meeting OF tho Legislature and
substitute prohibition in It's stead
Tho executive committee has issued
tho following circular letter which
"ili be distributed generally in tho
various counties:
COLUMBIA, S. O., Aug. IL, 1897.
Dear Sir: The executive committee,
alter careful survey OF tho condi-
tlons existing In our State regard it
q favorable opportunity to urgo tho
claims OF prohibition to tho attention
OF our people.
The existing system, inaugurated in
direct opposition to tho expressed will
OF the majority, having utterly failed
10 meet tho expectations OF its friends,
and proven successful as q promoter
OF law lessncss, fraud and crime, has
sealed its own doom, and tho next
Legislature will be called upon to deal
with the problem.
1t seems to us that 1t Is our duty to
mako Immediate and earnest eliot to
concentrate what We belicve to be tho
sentiment OF u largo majority of our
people.
1t is evident to us that the friends of
the liquor traffic arc taking the most
active and aggressive measures to pre-
occupy the field thrown open by tho re-
cont dispensary administration and the
decisions with reference thereto, and
If wo are to hope for any Improvement
| in tho conditions which confront us, We
must bo up and doing in the cause
which wo believe to be tho cause Of
| right and OF God.
Wo have therefore determined to
| send out petitions to be signod by tho
| voters OF overy preciuct who favor our
views, asking the general asscmbly for
such legislation as Is needed to pre-
| vent the torriblo OWLS foreshad owed by
the continuance OF tho salo Of liquor
Tor beverage purposes.
| we would suggest that wherever it
is possible to do so, public meetings
should be called and addresses on the
subject of temperance and prohibition
made by the best speakers available.
We confidently nsk your active
personal cooperation in securing
names to these petitions. Please send
a list OF such friends as will assist in
the work OF securing additional sigma,
| lures.

MONUMENT TO THE WOMEN,
an Appeal to tho Veterans to Show
thcir Gratitude to tho Women of
tho Southern Cohfederacy.

COMRADES: l submit this to your
favorable consideration, and l ask you
to remember that the surviving cX-
Confcderatcs arc rapidly passing away.
Death thlns our ranks each year; suon
thcrc will be none of us left to trans
mt TO coming generations the deeds of
that noble Dand Of heroic women who
from 1861 to 1865 did SO much to aid
our cause and theirs. In that immor-
tal Dand arc names that would be an
ornament to the page of any history,
Wncther OF ancient or modern times.
There arc women in it whom any
country, from the creation of the world
down to The present day, would be
proud to own as citizens.
Comrades, other people have hon
orcd thclr lilustrious women, and have
shown their gratitude to them by erect
ing monuments in their honor. Are
we less grateful to our women than
they were to theirs? Let us erect a
monument TO them ere it is too late
before the last survivors of the Con.
fedcratc army shall have obcycd The
lncXorablc summons, and shall have
uSSCu OfCI GuC lllTK river
Never to return
a monument that will transmit to DOS
tcrity the noble deeds of those heroic
women more cloqucntly than mortal
language can describe, and that will be
more enduring than it is.
Comrades, The achievements of those
women are SO bright as to cause the
actions Of Joan of Arc to pale into in
significance beside them. Remember.
IL was from the hands Of those women
that the necessary medicine was ad-
mlnistcrcd Gn mony cascs) TO our sick
soldiers; whose fingers sklllfully often
dressed the wounds Of the Confcdcr-
atcs; whose voices chcrrcd with COM
torting words many dying soldier in
his journey to "that unknown land:n
whose hands soothcd them on beds of
sickness or death; wiped away the
cold, clammy pcrspiration from the
brows OF the dying; whose voices went
up TO Heaven i'll prayers for their
safety and preservation from all the
dangers OF war, and for souls in the
hour of death; whose hearts well-nirh
broke in unuttcrablc anguish of spirit
were not the hearts of Southern wo-
mon, whose voices and hands tcnLcrly
and lovingly nurscd TIC sick and
wounded, cheering them with loving
words on beds of sickness or death, if
theirs did not 2 Ought we not to be
grateful to them for all these things /?
Comladcs, whatever may be our
faults, let not ingratitudc be one of
them. Let the Survivors of the Con-
fcderatc army-thc grandcst and most
heroic one of modern timcs-show the
world that we arc grateful to those wo-
men by erecting in the near future
monument that will tell to generations
yet to come their den,s-cnc that viii
proclaim them better than tongue or

The undersigned, voters OF ---
South Carolina, believing that the con-
tinuance OF the sale Of alcoholic liquors

drancc to all material and industrial
prosperity and foe to morality and

the general assembly at its next scs-
sion to enact such legislation as will

Talk about your ante-bellum days aId
your "'possum' hunting and your corn
ahuckings and your jig and clog dancing
| and your "punkin' scare heads and your
"Dossun and tater' suppers; II yon were
| not at Albert Means 'possum hunt and
his corn shucking last Friday night, you
Just simply weren't in 1t, and missed the
biggest time Of your life. Didn't you see
the invitations written on a sliuck? They
were out Ofsight. We'll, tall you: Albert,
you know, Is a little fellow, but he made
~ bushels Of corn, and he heard the old
"'possnm" hunting and after tho corn
was gathered he asked his papa
and Burt McCully to go "'pos
sum hunting with him. Well,
they fixed up with nigger and dogs and
went out to Sunset Forest and got Lang
don and ittlo Joe I'retwell aud started
out. But they kicked up such a fuss
blowing horns and talking and calling
the dogs, it's Il wonder they didn't scare
ri tho "possums" out of the forest but
they didn't. They hadn't gone far till
the dogs took after something and run it
and there freed it. Well, sir, you should
havo seen them boys. They yoled and
yelled and throw sticks at it and then
sent tl,a niger mp the tree. lie got most
TO it, and ust as he put his hand out to
grab it, it said "mew- new" They had
/
hacked them fellows were, and Burt Nc
Gully was the worst hacked fellow in the
crowd. Well, they tried it again and the
dogs soon freed again, and that time 1t
was a sure enough "possum," and
dandy, and the boys took 1t homo and
fastened it up and went to bed.
Friday night came and we went to the
shucking and tell you they had things
fixed up in dandy style. The table was
set out in the back yard, and 1t was just
loaded down v n good things. and there
was the "'possum" cooked good and
big red apple stuck in his mouth. and
they had "punkins'' followed out and
holes punched In 'em for nose and eyes
and mouth, and they had these "pun-
kins' hung on the trees all around, and
there WAS the pile OF corn.
Well, I'll tell you who was there: Lit

ris, Wilkes Webb, Foster Jones, Cliff.

We lit into that corn and shucked it in
no time. Sam Orr got the Prize for. red
ears, but we fellows liked tt sheled out
all that corn trying TO Deat MIN 10 IL.
We'll, we then hit the supper end made
1t fly, and every fellow got a whole shuck
full OF candy as a souvenir. When we
fellows got through Mr.. a. G. Means and
Burt McCully finished the "'possnm"
and we had two ''coons'' up there and we
pat 'em to dancing, and Of all the music
and Jig dancing and clog dancing we had

chicken and fruit and drank more,lem-
