The picnic at st. Luke on last
Wednesday was a grand success
The crowd began to gather early

The "Vets" Reunion at Heath
Springs.

Heath Springs, Aug. 10, 1900.
Its come and its gone aud we
still survive. The crowd that
gathered to do honor to the vet
erans on yesterday was previous
ly estimated at from 1900 10 1900
and they came from every quar-
ter of the county while Kershaw,
Chester, Fairfield, Darlington,
and Union county, North Gar
olina, were all represented in this
quiet and orderly assembly which
seemed to partake more of the
nature OF family reunion, than
a public picnic.
There was some 100 veterans
that fell in line behind the ban
ner of the Dixie camp which was
borne by Mr.. w. U. Usher. 1t
was certainly a pathetic scene to
see this company Of gray headed
men with dimmed visage and
halting step march once more in
company. 1t was hard to realize
that these were the men that
tramped with Lee, that these bent
forms once made the hills of Vir
ginia resound with their mighty
tread as they, young and vigorous.
marched out to do battle for their
beloved southland.
The tables were literally
ladened with good things and the
veterans marched inside the ropes
and every one seemed to be char
ging the Notifications of good
things that the ladies had pro
vided for them but the attack
being unsuccessful the "rebs" de-
cided to retreat, which they did
"decently and in order", carrying
their colors with them.
Then the crowd of friends and
relatives gathered inside the
ropes and bringing out many
more baskets they renewed the
attack on the tables, which was
successful, to a marked degree.
The old soldiers said that this
was the first picnic that they haG
been given since their march
from Charleston to Virginia in
1865, they had had many re
unions, hut not q single picnic.
1t was certainly a good oppor-
tunity for the candidates and not
a few of these good fellows were
on hand.
1t was one of the largest, as
well as one of the best behaved
assemblies that has ever been in
our town. We were glad to have
you with US, and ask you to come
again when we can pay individ,
ual attention TO you.

Some Suggestions to Prohibit.
tiOnists.
BY One of Them

We think that it is entirely
clear as to the proper position of
the prohibitionists in the pres
ent campaign. We have given
the issue, ,--as it appears to US,
and to some dozen or more lead
ing prohibitionists with whom
we have talked it over,--in our
two former articles. But for
the benefit Of those who may
not have seen these articles we
will briefly capitulate.
There is two classes of peo-
pie fighting the dispensary. The
true and sincere faction, that
oppose the sale of whiskey in
any form from christian prin-
ciples. Then there is the ex-
barkeepers, old topers, blind
tigers, and those that want
whiskey in plenty, which is
joined by the old Haskelite fac
tion that is out and is using the
liquor question as a Trojan
horse to get into power again.
At present our executive COM
mittee concede that we will not
carry the Legislature by a good
majority.
Then under these conditions,
when politics have entered in
and form the larger classes of
our party can we afford to go
on? These men that will vote
for Col. Hoyt, not from principle,
but policy, are so much in the
majority that we will SIMPLY
aid them to get few Offices
While we will have dealt our
cause q blow that will wound it
nigh unto death. Can we, when
the issue has changed from dis
pensary VS.. prohibition, to Till
man and reform vs. Gonzales
and Local option, support either
one Of these factions as a party
We may from our principles
and loose our identity as soon
as we do.

are not measuring strength by
any means as some would have
us think-but Tillman and Con
zales are. Gonzales has grown,

SHARP COMMENTS
On the Lack of Truth and Sincerity
in the Utterances of an Organ of
the Refunding Scheme.
UuEEJ INC Fob 10 1Q00


To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-After reading the evening pa
per of the above date, / came to the
conclusion that everything it said ought
TO be answered from her editorials to
her interviews with we'll known men
regardless of politics who have endors-
ed the refunding ordinance 50 the afore>
said editor of the evening paper says.
The editor starts off saying IF you
want soc gas vote for the refunding or
dinance." That is pretty near as bad
as when the same editor was hallow-
ing about the 80 cent dollar, and my
advice would be to all voters and par
ticularly the small real estate owners
and renters if they want SOC gas 10
vote against the ~refunding ordinance,
and here let me repeat to the aiOre-
said class of people what President Nc
Kinley said in a speech at AetIayille,
Ohio. October II, 1892, as there is no
politics in this refunding scheme, as the
evening paper editor wants you to be-
lieve. 1T is a good thing" the Presi-
dent says, Ito enquire what our enc
mics want and then do the opposite
thing" That is my advice at all times.
Watch the evening organ-grinder and
whatever he advocates let the people do
the opposite thing and they will be On
the safe side. He says: Vote for the
refunding ordinance and knock the
franchise grabbers out of the fruits OF
their d~isgraceful job" l say, vote the
opposite way. He also says: Get in
line for the franchise ordinance and
municipal ownership Of the electric light
plant and reduce your gas bills" That
bit Of sop won't reach that class OF
people and therefore the same advice,
vote down the refund until we can have
a separate vote on the municipal own
ership of the electric light plant with
out 1t being saddled on to a refund, On
any thing else. His next -: IF you

SOME CARELESS STATEMENTS
Concerning Duckhannon and TIL
Alleged Smallpox Epidemic Cor

Alleged Smallpox Epidemic Cor
rected.
To the Editor of the Register.
BUCKHANNON, w. Va, February
13.-Sensational and false reports OF the
so-called smallpox situation in Buck
harmon have at several times appeared
in the columns of your paper, eminat-
ing from your Weston correspondent.
My attention is called to another in to-
days morning edition. Our people are
beginning to feel the sting of these
falsehoods. This last telegram states
the truth in this that the physic.als Of
the town differ as to the name OF the
disease. But when it infers that four
prominent physicians who pronounce il
not smallpox in their certificate would
net go in to see the cases. the state
ment is absolutely false. These ply
sicians did visit the several patients,
and after personal inspection make
their statement. But let it be of what
soever name, there Is NOT now. o has
there been, a single physician in Buck
harmon but what does now-and has
from the begirnirg-advised strict
quarantine of every case as soon as it
develops and the use Of every other pre-
caution to restrict and stamp 1t out
Every physician has been active in vac
cination and the great majority OF our
people have taken this p~recaution.
The statement Is false that the citi-
zens of the town or county are derelict
in their duty al to the quarantine. No
other town or community in the State
is more active in the effort to stamp
out this contagicn.
There are not now, nor has there
been, thirty cases in the town, nor has
there been anything near that number
from six to eight cases all told. Every
one as it develops is isolated and quar-
antined. The churches were not all
opened on last Sunday. The free
schools remain closed indefinitely.
These false reports are doing our peo-
pie a great injustice, and should not be
circulated. We ask this Weston re
porter to be fair with Us and tell the
whole truth, for garbled truth is too
dangerous a falsehood 10 play with n5w.
as our good name and business IS az
stake. Respectfully,
WM- s. OrBRIEN.

Round 2.-We were much %disappoint-
ed in seeing these two sinful men
come out again. We had hoped that
during the intermisison they would re-
pent. Without any seeming provoca-
ton, however, Mr.. Corbett sprang at
his adversary, and was so fierce that
we expected a conclusion of the af-
fair, but Nh. Jeffries stepped to one
side, evidently knowing that Mr.. Cor
bett had been brought up among low
surroundings, and was vicious. At this
moment the ARRAY became so sicken-
ing that the Capital reporter turned
away, and did not look again at the
platform until the men were resting.
Several men were tanning them, and
we sincerely hoped that these men
would speak the right word to the
combatants, but we learned later that
they were their abettors.
(The scenes that followed were too
terrible for the eyes of Christian peo-
pie. We, therefore, refuse to print
them, and will glance briefly at the
last scene).
Round S-Mr. Jeffries APPARENTLY had
WHAT vas called a victory, but to us,
the victory belonged to the devil. Mr..
Corbett looked as pale as Lazarus
when he lay faint with hunger, before
Dives, but Mr.. Jeffries looked as
fierce as Daniel when he entered the
den Of lions. Mr.. Corbett tried to
avoid the blow, but no-horrible, hor-
rible-Mr. Jeffries struck the defense
less man, he fell like a log, and the af-
fray was over. Those present then
retired to the saloons in the vicinity
and gloated over their w~ickedness.

Europe Thinks His Illness Is More Serious
Than Is Admitted.

London, Nov. 16.-The impression
exists in most European capitals that
the illness of Emperor Nicholas is more
serious than it is represented 10 be, but
this is probably based upon knowledge
that the cars constitution is not
strong and Is little likely to resist a
serious attack. In Copenhagen the ill
ness is attributed TO oyerwurk in con-
nectiOn with the Chinese crisis, and
there is also Il suspicion that the
.hygienic conditions and water supply
at Livadia may be faulty.
1t is feared. however. that even If
no complications ensue the attack may
be of long duration. There is no news
from st. Petersburg on the subject be-
yOnd the official bulletins. which indi-
cate that the attack is only slight. no
high temperature having yet been
reached.
