AbbeyIlle's Welcome.

The Associate Reformed Presbyterians
were very proud OF having Presbytery meet
in their house of worship last week. A bet.
ter looking Set OF delegates to Presbytery
never assembled anywhere, and 1t may be
assumed that their hearts we're In the right
place, and that they responded to the cordi'
atty of our people in the proper spirit. In
nothing did the congregation make greater
effort to please than in the music andi in
the sipging. There is nc doubt the Associate
Reformed people have q good choir. Good
instrumental music and tuneful voices make
the most delightful music that has been
heard since the morning stars sang together
The sight of pretty women whose sweet
voices strike the ear Ia enough TO lift the
sonIs OF men from earth TO heaven. Their
voices y their beauty would be heaven
enough for ordinary mortals OF the mascu.
line lpersuation. The man who does not
worship bis Maker under such circumstances
is sure 10 break one Of the commandments
which has reference to the worship Of others

Not Ready for Progress.

Rev. r. f. Bradley raised q small whirl.
wind about his head when he proposed fol
Presbytsry TO discuss q revision OF the cate
chism whereby the old and obsolete doc
trines and discarded usages OF the church
nigh, be revised. The way that Presbytery
stuck TO the old landmarks was notable, and
what. they aid TO Mr.. Bradley WAS enough
This reminded us OF his appearance in
church court at Due West. some thirty year,
ago. when be suggested that some modih'
cation Of the close communion be made
They wouldn't listen to him then, but they
have since then adopted the open commun'
lon. When Mr.. Wilson hears from his plout
little tract on Mexican Missions he can then
no doubt claim 10 be In MIR. Bradley's GLASS
Mr.. Bradley's reforms are refused now. bui
they will come . little later. The Mexican
MisRion will not now be abolished but the
fiat has gone forth, and that enterprise Ia
doomed. A heavy burden will then be lifted
from Associate Reformed shoulders.

Mexican Veterans.

We see.in the newspapers a statement that
Congressman johnson proposes 10 have the
pensi ons Of Mexican veterans raised from

vice, he must be Informed OF their names, az
he does not know all Of them. More than

volunteered in the war with Mexico. About

others lost their HIVES. Al this time : no

The taking Of this case into the Courts has

fluctuations Against TilIman.

In anotner part OF this paper We copy some
charges against Tiilman and his reply to th'
same, together With temperate editorial com
ment by the Columbia Record.
From Senator Tillman's earliest appearance
In politics, he has been asssiled and charged
with all go ts of Grimes from %appropriatinl
tin pans up to things OF som greater
signiflcauoe. In each instance he bias par.
ried the blow TO the discontinue OF bis as
sailant. AS far as his RECORD In South Carroll
ma 10 concerned We are perfectly satisfied
that he is az honest as any man in public
life today. We have made inquiry as TO how
he stands In Washington. and our informa'
ton Is to the effect that he has clean hands
and q clean record. We have no sort OF d oubt
on this point. Attacks upon now, as In form
er years, will no doubt fall harmlessly at his
feet, even II they are not boomerangs.
Tillmsn may be dishonest. but we believe
that lie 10 as honest aB any man in public
life today, and It will take very clear proof to
convince the people OF anything to the CON.
trary.
Tlilman, no doubt, has sins enough. He
has much for which to give an ooount
rOI lubLhuCcs 4iliuaa - lCbpOhotDiO III q
full and free expression Of the people by bal.
lot In the primary. Re is largely responsible
for the establishment OF Clemson College and
for the existence Of Winthrop College. But
Senator Tillman's greatest sin wss in the es-
tablbement ofthe d%ispensary. After having
displeased all the UNCONVENTIONAL colleges In
the State. by the establishment OF great state
institutions, he was 1nd:screet enough TO run
TO the barroom element to whom he
gave mortal offense by depriving them OF
their legalised business. he also wounded
the vanity OF good and pious prohibitionists
who can see nothing and learn nothing from
experiedce. With all these sins piled up
about him and with the patent fact Of honest
record staring his enemies in the face the
strange thing about 1t ia that they should
charge graft TO a poor man In the idi5pensary.
Wherein ID the wisdom OF attacking him on
bis strongest side. No man in Washington
would claim to have cleaner hands, and no
man In South Carolina need claim to have a
better record for honesty. If he had been so
inclined he could have been rich today, and
he need not now be charged with q petty
of1ense.

Last week during the meeting Of Presby.
terry, and while the delegates were the guest
OF the city, one Of them when on the side
wslk, with evident intention of sighting 9
member Of the Abbeville Associate Reformed
congregation, or avoiding speaking to him,
turned into one. OF the stores when he saw
him coming. That night the guest prayed In

heart. The prayer for a pure heart was all
right. but 1t was hardly to be expected tina,
he would so soon repent OF the only nm.
