A GREAT GATHERING.

The overshadowing event of the pres
ent week is the encampment of the Con-
federate Veterans at Wrightsville, en-.
bracing Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day. The indications are that there will
be a large attendance. For the frs.
time, the veterans have secured rate
of one cent a mile, and this will make
the expense small. Hon. Julian S. Carr,
General Commanding, Maj. H. A. Lon
don, and the other officers of the asso-
citation have made every necessary ar
rangement so that the reunion will be
pleasant to all who followed Lee.
On Thursday Gen. Matthew Whitaker
Ransom, brave soldier, eloquent ora
tor land able Senator will address his
old comrades. 1t will be worth the trip
to hear Gen. Ransom.

THE SILVER QUESTION.

Interview with Senator Vest
What about the silver question:" was
asked.
'As to the free coinage OF silver l have
always been an earnest bimetallist, and
have not changed my opinions in the
slightest. l do not believe that there is
enough gold and silver in the world for
the just and fair transaction of business,
and l look upon the single standard of
either gold or silver as doubling the pow
er of oppression by the rich at the ex-
pense of the middle and poorer classes.
Il do not think the question Of the
free coinage of silver is dead, but the
abnormal and unexpected production Of
gold, and especially improvements in the
process of extracting gold from the earth,
have given us more money in this country
thai any one could have anticipated We
have larger per capita of circulation
than any other country in the world, ex
cept France, and there is no immediate
prospect of any decrease"
do you think that bimetallsm will
ever be the paramount issue again?'' the
Senator was asked
Il believe that the time will again come
when bimetallsm will become the para
mount issue, out III is not now question
upon which the Democratic party can go
into the contest in 1904 was the re-
ply.
There are thousands of good Demo-
Gratis who refused to support Mr. Bryan
in 1896 and in 1900 because they did not
believe this country could maintain free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to l
against the opposition of the great ma
tions of the world. 1t seems to me sui
cidal for us to thrust this issue again
upon them, when they are anxious to
come back to the party on all other ques-
tions. / have no fear that the gold adj
vocates will take possession of the Demo-
cratic party, but l do fear that If we
continue to quarrel over silver when there
is no necessity for it we will again go
through slaughter house into an open
grave.

PUT THEM TO WORK.

The murders that have shocked Atlanta
of late have all been committed by idlers.
The authorities of that city are determ-
ined to enforce the vagrant laws and as
a result of the first effort, three hundred
and twenty-One were put into the city
lookup. They are sent at once to the
stockade and put to work. 1.-THE devil
still finds work for idle hands to do
The only way to Keep Migrants from COM
hitting crime is to arrest them and put
them at hard labor. If this policy was
pursued vigorously by all the cities the
roads would rapidly be improved and at
little cost.
Atlanta has set every city good ex

ADMIRATION THE REMEDY.

The public believes in the fair thing.
There is division of opinion as to the
merits of the strike. People do not look
at things alike. But fair-minded men
wish to see justice and fairness prevail.
They wish such contests between CAPT.
tai and labor settled without crushing
either and without resort to force.
Therefore they would like to see the
disputes settled by arbitration.
Very little allusion has been made to
the offer by the leaders of the strike
for a settlement. Mr.. Shaffer sent this
message; 81
To j. ~ Morgan: If the United States
Steel Corporation will agree to arbi-
trate, I win appoint one member OF a
board, the corporation to appoint
second, the two to choose third. |
will agree to have all the existing diff
culties laid before these three men.
The Amalgamated Association will
abide by the result.-T. j. Shaffer.
Here was the answer:
To r. j. Shaffer, Pittsburg: This is
no time for arbitration.-J. p. Morgan.
The steel magnates feel that, having
destroyed competition, they are masters
OF the situation. They had better not
ride too high a horse, for the antitrust
law could, if enforced, secure their fall.

news and Observer. The day that JUS
tice Douglas ordered re-hearing, there
was general discussion of the five points
about evidence of sectarian activity"
Those statements were on every tongue,
and the news story would have been
incomplete if the local reporter had not
furnished them to the managing edi-
tor for incorporation into the story.
This paper did not say these five state.
ments were true or false. It printed
the general talk, and prefaced it by
saying that 4" some people have found
IN TINS case evidence of sectarian ac-
tiNity' and enumerating the five things
some people" were saying: When we
came to discuss the matter editorially.
no reference whatever was made to the
suggestion of "sectarian activity" as
the editorial quoted above by Father
Dennen shows. If he believes the man
innocent, we would applaud rather than
condemn him for employing counsel to
save him from hanging. We have no
criticism to make of any person who
asked for executive clemency or for a
re-hearing. These are the acts of pri
vate citizens who ought to follow their
convictions without criticism
AS to the guilt or innocence of Coun
Gil we know only three facts:
1. The lady outraged swore positive
ly that Council was her assailant.
2. After fair trial a jury of his
countrymen declared Council guilty and
he was sentenced to be hung.
3. Because of appeals to him, the
Governor granted respites until he
could have all the facts fully investigat-
ed by ex-Judge Womack, an able and
painstaking lawyer. Then he an
nounced in effect that the requests TO
commute his sentence did notf warrant
him in setting aside the solemn verdict
of the jury.
No man ought to be hung without a
fair trial and thorough sitting of evil
dence. But when he has had such a
trial. then no power ought to set aside
| The prevalence of lynch law in the
| South, almost always used to hang ne
groes who outrage white women, is due
to- the unwillingness to compel lady to
go through the ordeal of cross-exami-
nation and detail the horrors that are
worse than death; and to the long and
wearisome delays of carrying out the
DEGREES of the court. Many people are
influenced to excuse lynching because
so many criminals by this or that tech
nicalty escape punishment for their
crime. And there is one crime for which
there must be but one punishment and
it ought to be melted out swiftly and by
due process of law. If the courts pre-
vent speedy punishment, experience has
proved that the, people will take the
law in their own hands wherever brute
has assailed a good woman. Indeed, the
righteous indignation of true men
against such brutes is so intense that,
even when it is known that courts will
! hang speedily. many men are found who
openly advise lynching. To convert these
men into upholders of the orderly and
legal punishment of crime and hold
up the hands of the defenders of the
! law, it is the high duty of all public
officials to exert every effort to secure
fair trials and a speedy punishment of
! will preside over such cases.

HYPOCRISY AND DEMAGOGY.

Norfolk Pilot Virginan.
OF course the right of the citizen to
work where he can find employment
is unquestioned But when the Steel
Trust pretends that it is making fight
to maintain that sacred right the pub
lie is moved to laughter. The trust is
making the fight because it wants to be
in position to cut wages without pre-
cipitating a strike. 1t is not worrying
about the sacred right of the citizen
to earn living. What it wants is the
sacred right to gouge the citizen out
of a living on occasion. There is no
need to complicate the issue with n.y.
pocrisy or demagogy.

SWIFT-FOOTED JUSTICE PREVENTS
LYNCHING.
Sanford Express.

So long as the courts wait weeks and
sometimes even months before they bring
before the bar the fiend who has de-
bauched some helpless women, men will
continue to appeal to the shot gun and
the rope for vengeance. Had justice been
little more swift footed in this county
last winter the town of Carthage would
not have been treated to a frst-class
lynching within few feet of the court
house. Our people have regard for the
law that is high and jealous but they will
protect good women at all hazards.

"Zigzas" on Whiskey and Pistols.

EDITOR THE BAMBERG HERALD:-I
have been reading Clod Hopper and c. A.
p. OH whiskey and pistols, and E. R. S.
wants tobacco and cigarettes discussed.
Now, I don't wish to argue these evils
with either Of these parties, and while
my eyes may be wrapped in fog, wish
to say think those gentlemen are run-
ming this discussion without their head
lights. You can't convict man for
carrying a concealed pistol. Why? Be-
cause the jurors who try him have one
in their pockets. I don't mean to say all
of them, but enough to keep him from
being convicted. It is the same way
with whiskey. Public opinion won't
condemn man for taking drink and
when he drinks one he wants two more.
I think those who don't take drink are
almost els scarce as the righteous men Of
Gomorrah. Now we might name evils
at length, but you can't cure man Of
walking lame by knocking him down.
Neither can we do much good by discuss
ing these things without some remedy,
but guess it is human nature to want
to pull the mote out of our brothers eye
when the beam is in our own eye. Now,
1 think the destiny of the coming genera
ton rests with the ladies. If they would
unite and say we will not keep company
with any one that chews, smokes, drinks,
carries a pistol, swears or any one else
that would stoop to do any other low act,
it would do more towards bringing our
men to a high plane of living than has
ever been done. Of course we ought to
have good Christian men in every COM
munity; men who are not afraid of foes,
ridicule, or slang, to use the sword OF
the Spirit, which is the word of God, and
who would not fail to use it on every
occasion. Now, I am open to con-
viction, and if any one has better
remedy, let us have it through the col
umns of THE HERALD, but if these
suggestions could be carried out, which
would doubtless seem like bread cast
upon the waters, I am sure it would
be seed sown in good ground and would
bring forth fruit to the honor and glory
of Christ and our country.

'.SOmething New Under the Sun

"Something New Under the Sum"
All doctors have tried to cure catarrh
by the use of powders, acid gases, in
halers and drugs in paste form. Their
powders dry up the mucuous membranes
causing them to crack open and bleed.
The powerful acids used in the inhalers
have entirely eaten away the same men,
branes that their makers have aimed to
cure, while pastes and ointments cannot
reach the disease. An old and expert
enccd practitioner who has for many
years made close study and specially Of
the treatment of catarrh, has at last per-
fected treatment which when faithfully
used, not only relieves at once, but per-
manently cures catarrh, by removing the
cause, stopping the discharges, and cur
ing all inflammation. 1t is the only rem
edy known to science that actually
reaches the afflicted parts. This wonder
full remedy is known as "Snuffles the
Guaranteed Catarrh Cure and is sold at
the extremely low price of one dollar,
each package containing internal and ex-
ternal medicine sufficient for a full
months treatment and everything neces-
sary to its perfect use.
"Snuffles'' is the only perfect catarrh
cure ever made and is now recognized as
the only safe and positive cure for that
annoying and disgusting disease. 1t cures
all Inflammation quickly and permanent
ly, and is also wonderfully quick to re-
lieve hay fever or cold in the head.
Catarrh when neglected often leads to
consumption-"Snuffies' will save you if
you use it at once. 1t is no ordinary
remedy, but complete treatment which
is positively guaranteed to cure catarrh
in any form or stage if used according to
the directions which accompany each
package. Don't delay but send for it at
once. and write full particulars as to your
condition, and you will receive special

very good vote, and goes on to say: "He
will be beaten, not because of his course
in the senate, but because the dominant

who will be more subservient to the
plans and schemes of said element"
Wait and see, contemporary; wait and

The Cold Weather.

CHARLESTON, April 23.-The cold wave
has apparently not affected the cotton
crop in Greenwood, Spartanburg and
other counties of the Piedmont, because
what seed had been planted was not yet
up, but disastrous results are reported
from some sections of the low country.
In Hampton county, which is very near
the coast, vegetables, fruit, corn, and es-
pecially cotton, have been seriously
damaged, if not destroyed. Many farm
ers are now plowing up their cotton,
some rcplanting with cotton, and others
sowing food crops. Cotton seed is scarce,
nearly all Of it having been sold to the
oil mills, and at this late seaSGn it is eX-
penSive to plant cotton, as grass comes
lp with it.
