To Develop Savannah River,

The declaration was fled in the Office
Of the secretary Of state Wednesday af-
ternoon and a commission was issued
to the Twin City Power company. This
means much for the development Of the
water power along the Savannah river
and of its several tributaries in Edge
field and Abbeville counties which has
heretofore been going to waste. One
million dollars is to be the capital Of
the company, and northern capitalists
are the promoters. One Of them is Mr..
W. H. Chew, who organized the Co.
lumbia Water Power company, which
bought the Columbia canal. The cor
porators are Samuel Saylor. residing

Coward made the repor. requesting the
State board Of education 70 adopt only
southern books by southern authors

was adopted without discussion and
without dissent.
The election of officers was next IN
order and Gen. CarWile nominated Gen.
G.. Irvine Walker for reelection as
major general Of the South Carolina
division. Gen. Walker thanked the
veterans for the honor in most happy
little speech.
The two brigade commanders were
also elected by acclamstion, Col. AS

brigade and Gen. T. w. CarWile of the
Second brigade.

states that out Of the 120 camps in this

The Whole Truth.

In a letter to the Philadelphia

very encouragingly of the treatment Of
colored people by their white neighbors
in the South. He says, among much
else that is Of interest: In any case [
have not seen single colored man who
had secured intellectual and moral
properties, and had a high character,
who did not have the respect and con-
fderee of the white people where he
lived" "On tie WHOLE" says the

McKinleY's Record

The Republican newspapers
by a concerted action are trying
to force the free coinage of sill
yer to the front as the main issue
Of this compaign. They are
failing in their purpose. Other
issues have arisen that are more
important, but even if the ques-
tion of silver could be pushed to
the front, Mr.. Mckinley is an
unfortunate candidate. On Nov :.
5th 1877 William Mckinley of
Ohio voted in favor of a resolu-
tion authorizing the free coinage
of the standard silver dollar.
This effort to force the silver
issue brings out in strong con-
trast the character of McKin-
ley and Bryan, One is a posi-
tive force, a man who has an
opinion on every question that
arises andh no fear in express
ing it. Bryan is a man who has
never straddled or evaded, has
never lodged or been silent.
Mckinley started out in favor of
free silver. He fell into the
hands of Mark Hanna and be-
came a bimetallist: that is to
say. he advocated the restora-
tion of silver provided we could
form a partnership with foreign
nations. He has even given
that up under pressure from the
Trusts, and is now the champion
OF the single gold standard. He
is lnslncere, unstable as water
and he is not going to succeed.

csmp-Camp James NJ. Perrin-Mr.
David Aiken, callef the assembly to or.
der, and after prayer bv Rev. R. G.
McLees Mr.. Aiken Introduced Mr.. +.
B. Grier of Camp Perrin, who extended
a welcome on behalfof his camp. Mr..
Grier's speech was eloquent and pat:
riotic, and he was requeutly interrupted
by applause. He lsuded the Confed-
crate soldier and his deeds and aroused
the emotions of his hearers to pitch.
At the conclusion of MIR. Grier's speech
Nj. Aiken introduced Mr.. Francis H.
Weston, division commander of the
Sons of Veterans for South Carolina,
who responded very gracefully to the
words of welcome and went on TO make
an earnest, solid, argument for the
truthful perpetustlon Of history. At
the conclusion Of Mr.. Weston's speech
Gen. NJ. L Bonhan was called for and
responded in one of his happy little
talks, full of fervent patriotism. There
were then calls for Mr.. Geo. E, Prince,
who responded very neatly, touching
upon the matter Of partisan histories,
which is the question most promiL entity
before both the veterans and the SHas
The business meeting of the Syuo Of
veterans was called to order at 10
o'clock Thursday morning by the divi-
sion commander, F. H. Weston, who
made an eloquent appeal for greater in
,erest in the order and its important
work.
The roll was then called and the
camps responded by the presentation
of the credentials, There were many
camps who had delegates in town but
there are so many sponsors here that
the Sons could not make up their minds
to devote themselves to business.
The question which is agitating both
the organizations is that of fair text
books and the delegates discussed this
very fully, the discussion being opened
by Mr.. Weston.
The adjutant read letter from Col.
". F. Jones, chairman of the historical
committee OF the U. 5 c. V.
On motion OF Gen. Bonhan the South
Carolina division pledged itself to raise
its quota of any amount that might
be necessary for the employment Of a
competent man to prosecute this work
Of securing fair histories.
This question was further discussed
by Comrades Bonham and Prince and
resolution was also adopted COM
mending the work of Col. Jones.
A committee was appointed to make
arrangements for presentation of the
sponsors and they reported + o'clock
as the hour set.
The election Of division commander
was next entered into and by acclana
ton Mr.. ". H. Hunt of Greenwood
was elected. Mr.. Weston decliuei to
serve another term
Resolutions Of thanks to Greenwood

nation and infame the passions. l do
not refer now to that kind Of book
which the villain has under his coat
waiting for the school to get oat, and
then, looking both ways to see that
there is no policeman around the block,
offers the book to your son on his way
home. do not speak Of that kind Of
literature, but that which evades the
law and comes outin polished style,
and with acute plot sounds the tocsin
that rouses up all the bsser passions
Of the soul. Today, under the nostrils
of the people, there is fetid, reeklng,
unHsshed literature, enough to poison
all the fountains Of public virtue and
smite your sons and daughters as with
the wing Of 8 destroying angel, and it
is time that the ministers ef the gospel
blew the trumpet and rallied the forces
of righteousness, all armed to this great
battle against depraved literature.
Again, abstain from those books
which are spologetic Of crime. 1t is a
sad thing that some of the best and
most beautiful bookbindery and some
Of the finest rhetoric have been brought
TO make sin attractive. Vice is hor-
rible thing anyhow. 1t is born in
shame, and it dies hoRliug in the da,k-

whip Of scorpions, but afterward the
thuoders of Gods wrath pursue it across
boundless desert, beating it with ruin
and woe. When you come to paint
carnality, do not paint it as looking
from behind embroidered curtains or
through lattice Of royal serag lio, but
as writhing in the agonies of a city hos
pital. Cursed be the books that lrJ to
make impurity decent and crime attrac-
tive and hypocrisy noble! Cursed be
the books that swarm with libert!nes
and 0esperadoes, who make the brain
