to have received a welcome and to
hold much of interest for the general
reader.
There is rumor, that it is hoped
may be confirmed, that Jesse Emo and

Dimock place.
There was party at Nathan Ward g,
Tolland side, on Saturday evening,

from West Wilmington.
The wisest person of whom we have
heard of late is our townsman at
South Wilmington who is having a
carload of coal put in his cellar.
Oh, April, we've been long together,
In sunny and in chilly weather;
You've worn your welcome out this
year,
But, still, we'll love you, do not fear.
We have not heard of any one in
this section who considers it the part
of wisdom to tear up the state college
by the roots and endeavor to trans
plant it, and all are in sympathy
with DIR. W. l.. Higgins and others in
their opposition.
John F. Whitford has rented his
recently purchased home in the viii

"With the large population in our

one reason why men throughout the

outside the church edifice. Because
they are not interested in the man,
they do not care for the preacher. -

History. defined by Webster, Is the
knowledge Of facts and events put into
a formal Statements systematic
written account Of events-a true
story as distinguished from romance.
And Carlyle says Histories are as
perfect as the historian is wise, and
Is gifted with an eye and a soul"
Pope knew the value Of History
when he said Of Caesar.
Justly Caesar scorns the. poets lays,
1t Is to History ne trusts for praise. q
In discussing short time ago some
so-called statement Of facts. Mr.. T. E.
Richardson. now Judge of probate for
Sumter county. made this remark: 81
regard History as a matter entirely
too sacred to monkey with"
AS far as time and opportunity have
allowed have endeavored to verify
the statements made herein, and for
the most part they are taken from the
statutes and resolutions passed by the
general assembly Of South Carolina
from statements contained In O'Neall's
Eench and Bar, and from statements
contained in the History of the Old
Cheraws: but there are some state.
ments herein which have been
obliged to take at second hand, as
traditions handed down from sire to
son. with no purpose to monkey
with History" but only because they
were necessary In order to make q
connected statement OF events. These
latter statement may CT may not be
historic facts.
In, 1888 the Legislature of South
Carolina passed an ordinance appoint.

that Justice Is to be given to every
one.
Hon. Eugene e. Gary. senior justice
OF the supreme court. next spoke say
Ing that the building showed that the
people Of Sumter believed In law and
order. He, also. said that 1t was the
most beautiful temple OF justice In the
State. Most Of his address was read
and was beautifully expressed. It was
a general review Of the judicial devel-
opment OF the world
Hon. C. A. Woods. Junior justice Of
the supreme court, addressed the
court and audience next. He referred
to the fact that his family were from
Sumter county. His address showed
deep thought and was a beautiful
tribute to the work Of erecting the
handsome Court House. In speaking
Of the amassing Of the great wealth
OF the country. he asked II we should
lore our sense Of the beautiful In gain
Ing wealth. and should we, also. lose
our sense Of Justice? He spoke of
practical justice as II Is among our
selves In this state. Justice begins In
the home and In the hearts OF the peo-
pie. The first trial OF all comes in
the heart Of the man who may think
he has a cause against his neighbor
on account Of his greed for wealth.
The second trial comes In the lawyers
office. He has no right to protect a
cause he knows to be wrong. Much
wrong and injustice perishes at the
table OF the honest lawyer.
Hon. Thos. q. Mcleod, lieutenant
governor Of the State, was introduced
and made q brief but interesting ad-
dress. He referred 20 his being a ma
tive OF Sumter county. although ne
was now from Lee. having been cut
on. He gave some interesting remin-
iscencss Of the work Of long sso.
Maj. H. Frank Wilson then gave a
most interesting historical ske,ch
which Is published in full.
Maj. Marion Noise next moved that
the proceedings Of the day be placed
on the Journal Of the court. wh,ch was
ordered done.
The exercised being then concluded.
