The Teachers Lecture Course.

There was large attendance at the meet
ing of the Teachers Club at the High school
room last Friday evening to listen to the
address of Rev. George S. Mills on "Protec-
tor and King, or the Case of Oliver against
Charles" The room was filled to its full
seating capacity. Following is brief
abstract of the address:
About the finest vindication history records
is the change of view regarding Oliver Crom-
we'll, to which Carlyle gave the chief i'm
pulse fifty years ago by editing the letters
and speeches of Cromwell. Until then
Cromwell had been in the general estima-
tion what the Royalist historians called
him, a hypocrite, usurper and knave. Now
the man in the worth and might of him is
being clearly discerned. He was sincere
far seeing, liberty loving, but above all sin
cere. The falsest word that was ever said of
him was that he was a hypocrite. He
was not an ambitious self-seeker, although
his assumption of power with the Puritan
army at his back, might look like that at first
thought. His breaking up of the Rump
Parliament was certainly not legal act but
AZ " dS lueNludple dlttF lHe overthrow OF
absolutism and the execution of Charles
l. Oliver did not wish to be king. but
he saw that strong man must rule and
he knew himself to be that strong man
The speaker contrasted Charles and Oliver
in their characters and purposes. Charles
died like martyr. He a pathetic
kingly figure on the scatfold and as such
wins our pity. But he must be judged by
his life rather than by the manner of his
death, and 50 judged he deserved to die for
his faithlessness and treachery. The secret
| of the great and growing admiration in this
time for Cromwell was found in the recog-
milton of his strength. Oliver had that will
orcefulness-abilty to do things which
we must admire. This was illustrated by
the marvel of his Ironsides, and the place to
which he raised England among the nations
compelling to himself, the uncrowned regi-
eide, the fear and friendship of the heredi-
tary rulers of Europe. The recognition of
Cromwells service to humanity in clearing
| the way for the permanent victory eventual
ly of the principles of religious tolerance and
liberty under government, was also a chief
factor in our present day admiration of
him. The speaker summed up the case for
Oliver in holding with the historian Gardl-
ner that he was "in the world of action
what Shakespeare was in the world of
thought, the greatest because the most typi-
| cal Englishman of all time''

the pastor read some notes from Rev. Geo.

among other things that the thermometer
was below zero during the day, but that the

was by Rev. Henry f. Huse of Skowhegan.
The subject was "Christian Fellowship"
The speaker dealt with the duty and the
benefits to Christian workers by having
fellowship with one another, especially as
applicable to the work of the Y. P. S. C. E.
He concluded by exhorting the members
not to rest on the work that has been done
but to march forward.
Mrs Frost and Mrs. Pitcher sang a duett,
after which the pastor made brief remarks,

with the benedictions.
The congregation was then invited to the
vestry, which was very prettiy arranged for
the occasion, and presented social, home

Mr.. Huse and other visitors, two hours were
pleasantly spent socially, and ice cream and

BASEBALL IN ROCK HILL.

The series of six games between
Yorkville and Piedmont last week was
concluded in Rock Hill on Friday and
Saturday, on the invitation of some OF
the cranks of that town.
The Yorkville team had been con-
siderably strengthened since the last
game in Yorkville, by Caldwell, from
Due West, and Yancey, from States
vile, N. c., and Notwithstanding a
strong home sentiment against the
possibility of victory over such cham
pions as the Piedmont boys, won
Fridays game in fine style by score
of 13 to 8. The Piedmont boys Jared
badly, and by Yorkville's heavy bat
ting they were compelled to change
pitchers three times. Smith, White
and Osteen were batted out of the
box successfully. Yancey pitched the
nine innings through for Yorkville,
and a home run by Riley, with ter
rible hit by Brothers, while there
were three men on bases, settled the
issue for Yorkville.
Saturdays game went to Piedmont
again. Yorkville had the same expe'
rience with pitchers that Piedmont
had the day before. Bankston and
Brake were knocked out during the
first four innings, and Chapple held
the heavy batting down very nicely
from the fifth inning to the close of the
game. The score was 10 to 5.
Brake caught for Yorkville on Fri
day and Caldwell on Saturday. Cald'
we'll and Yancey both did good work
for Yorkville in the field in Saturdays g
game.
The gate receipts were very salts
factory at both games. Quite num-
ber of Rock Hill people closed their
stores and nearly all of them rooted
for Yorkville. In fact, notwithstand-
ing their superb team work and
numerous brilliant individual plays,
the Piedmont boys got but little, if
any, more applause than they got In
Yorkville.

THE DUST OF COL. WILLIAMS.
Here is Suggestion That is Still Good After
12O Years.

Here Is Suggestion That Is Still Good After
12O Years.
Editor of the Yorkvile Enquirer:
There is one noted spot within the
limits of York county, that, above all
others, has enriched the history of the
state-the battle ground of Kings
Mountain. There was fought on
October 9TH, 1880, the most sanguin-
ary and successful battle of the seven
years war that gave this country its
independence. A monument was
erected there and dedicated on the
one hundredth anniversary of the
event-to the memory of those who
participated in the engagement. But
the grounds, which were ceded to an
association, and the granite monument,
are neglected, and the spot-save for
some work done this year by the
county, will ere long be in a wilder
ness of obscurity unless taken in
charge by some organized authority.
South Carolinians contributed large
ly of heroic lives TO that great achiev-
ment, and many of the descendants of
those who were in that conflict, live
among US. Can we not do something
in the way of maintaining this spot of
earth in manner creditable to our
selves, and as tribute to those who
made it historical?
The South Carolina contingent was
led by Colonel James Williams, of
Laurens, who fell there mortally
wounded. His devoted men bore him
from the battlefield to die on the
banks of Broad river, and his remains
lie in an unmarked grave on the lands
of John S. Mintz. Ought they not to
be removed to the battle-ground and
placed under the shadow of the gran
ite shaft that his heroism, as we'll as
others, inspired generous people to
erect? Will The ENQUIRER become
the custodian of contributions to carry
into effect some plan of which this is
only suggestion 4? I send one dollar
to open small fund for the purpose.
Will not our Sons and. Daughters of
the Revolution, and the public gener.
ally respond? And on the one hun.
dred and nineteenth anniversary of
the battle, assemble on this consecrat-
ed ground to do what honor and duty
imposes on us to do? x.

I can; and if / am not recommended,
I'll not blame any one. I'll just feel
that have been relieved in an honor
able manner, from duty which do
not seek and which 1 do not care to
dodge. But like Mr.. Wilkerson,
am not going to make any canvass.
The time and thought I'll have TO
give to the work, if elected, l think,
ought to be sufficient to justify me in
this position"
Mr.. Stanton was member of the
second board of county commissioners
after the adoption of the old law pro.
viding one commissioner from each
township. He was considered by all
his fellow members as one of the most
valuable members of that board, and
all who know him intimately are will
ling to testify that there is no better
citizen in the county. His business
interests, like those of Mr.. Wilkerson,
are such that he can fill the position
only at personal expense to himself.
His consent to serve in the circum.
stances is ample evidence of his fit
ness.
