weeks ago are to be sent direct TO the
Philippines and are now on their way.
They expected to stop while at San
Francisco and drill while. They en-
listed In various regiments according
10 their taste but II seems that does not
prevent them from being transferred
and they are all to be pressed into nc

Letter OF Gen. Bonham.

Editor Press and Banner:-1n your harsh
criticism OF q speech which I made to the
Veterans and Sons OF Veterans at Ninety-Six,
you charge me with ignorance OF the causes
which led up TO the war, and with trying TO
conceal the causes Of the war. Then you ad.
wise me TO read the address which was Issued
by the committee appointed by the Secession
Convention to "set forth the causes causes which Hi,
the Union" II 80 happens that had the
honor to deliver the address at the unveiling.
on Dec. %, 1898, OF the Mural Tablets erected
In the State House at Columbia, TO the men,
sion, and 1t became necessary, even II my In
terest In the subject had not made 1t pleasant,
to study the proceedings of the Secession
which you refer. And. Sir, It is upon that ad-
dress Ia part. that predicate my position,
which is, THAT slavery was not alone, nor
primarily the cause OF the war, except In so
far as 1t entered into the discussion and set
tlement Of the whole subject OF States
Rights Throughout that brilliant address,
prepared by the committee Of the Conven.
ton, the idea above expressed, is plainly and
powerfully main ntained. l will leave 1t to
any three disinterested men who are familiar
with the address to say II this Is not true.
In the convention which adopted the con-
stitutIon of the United States In the discuss
ions held by the political giants Of those days.
the central idea around which the fight waged
was this doctrine Of States Rights, and the
question OF slavery was discussed only az IL
was incidentally lnVOlVeQ IN Inc QlBCuSSlOu
of the major question OF the sovereignty OF
the States. You say "Slavery was the sole cause
Of the war" Mr.. Lincoln repeatedly af.
firmed that this was not so thatithe war was
not waged to abolish slavery, bat to save the
Union.
The soldiers OF the Northern army constant
ly repudiated the idea that they were Tight.
ing "to free the Niger" 1t has been asserted
that at least one.half the men who composed
the matchless armies of Lee and Johnston
never owned q slave, and were Interested
rather in the abolishing than in the main
tainipg Of that "Institution."
am truly grateful for your solcitude over
nv ignorance Of q subject TO which have for
a number Of years devoted much study and
thought. I fear that solicitude has led you to
depart from that rule which I have always
understood you preached and practiced In
journalism, namely. TO be fair TO the person
under criticism and to avoid personalities.
Otherwise, I don't think you would have
charged me with trying ITO conceal the causes
which led to the war;" which virtually
amounts to charging me with suppressing the
truth. Which grave and serious charge Is, In

The Unyarnished Truth.

The Columbia Record says: "The enforce
ment Of the dispensary law In Charleston 10
a rough and knotty problem. II ought TO be
enforced there, but how is 1t to be? He who
ans " ers that question Ia modern Solomon"
one Of the reasons why the dispensary law
ia not en- forced In Charleston is discred1ta6le
to the public sentiment In that city, for the
fact has been alleged and admitted from the
beginning that Charleston was TO be recog'
nized as an exception to the general rule:
Public opinion there has been encouraged
from the outset to accept the theory that the
dispensary law was Incompatible with Char
leston's traditions, interests and surround
ings, and hence the violations OF the law are
looked upon as more vIrtuous than Its en-
forcement. This is the plain. naked, unVar.
nished truth about the matter.-Greenville

A Good Fight.

he should select something which it
would be right to fight with. Let
him strive against his bad temper or
his unkindly disposition {; let him
Quarrel with his own Incidence and
conquer it by working or by studying
hard let him overcome his selfshness
by learning to give up to others rather
than secure advantage tor himself:
This kind of fighting will be good
exercise for him, and it will, with
Gods blessing, strengthen him in his
determination to gain the victory over
sin and to wear the victor's crown.
