had shocked Charles Sumner into
starting a whispered discussion of his
enforced resignation. When he be-
came president his intemperance IN
speech lent color to exaggerated re-
ports Of his intemperance in drink.
For two years before Lincoln died,
the radical leaders had been insisting
that congress, not the president, should
fix the terms of peace for the south
ern states. They had angrily de-
nounced him as a despot, an autocrat
and a usurper, because Of his policy
Of reconstruction. And congress mad
persistently refused to admit the sen.
ators and representatives from the
states which he had reconstructed on
his liberal plan.
Apart from the Republican politi-
clans and a mere faction of eXtrem-
lists, the north was in favor OF Lin
coins moderate policies. But when
it became question between Johnson
and the radicals, the radicals Won over
whelmingly in the congressional elec-
tion of 1866.
With a two-thirds majority in the
new house and senate, the Republicans
overrode the presidents vetoes, and
congress took command of the govern
ment. The reconstructed states were
cutlawed. The south was divided into
military provinces. The ballot was
thrust into the unskillful hand OF the
freedmen, notwithstanding it was still
Genied the negro in all but six states
Of the north. At the same time a
large class of Southern whites was dis
franchised for disloyalty in the war,
which left several states to pass under
the corrupt government of northern
carpet baggers" and southern "scal-
awass," who gained power by manlpu-
lating the ignorant black vote and VINO
held it by force Of federal bayonets.
AS northern "fre eaters pressed to
the front, on one side of the Mason
and Dixon line, southern 'file eaters
took the lead on the other side. by
night the Ku Klux klan rode their Sd
Dle horses in a campaign of terrorism
to frighten the blacks from using the
ballot.
Party and sectional politics, north
and south, still was the marplot Of the
Union. AS it had fostered disunlon
before tie war, it was doing its worst
to prevent reunion, now that the war
was over. -.--o. ..... ....

THE stone walls of the White
4 House no more shut Lincoln in
from his fellows, from their hopes
and sorrows and pride, than did the
unhewn logs behind which he shivered
in the cabin home of his youth. One
night he dreamed that he was. in a
crowd, when some one recognized him
as the president and exclaimed in
surprise: "He is a very common look
ing man." Whereupon he answered: ::
"Friend, the Lord prefers common
looking people. That is the reason he
makes so many of them"
Lincoln liked people, and he always
kept in touch with the mass. He did
not have to take the word Of politi-
clans or newspapers about what the
country was thinking. He went to
the source.
AS he finished his daily wrestle with
senators and the big-wigs, he plunged
with zest into what he called his pub
lie opinion BATH" Seated in his chair,
with one leg thrown over its arm, he
received the motley crowd that poured
in through the wide open door Of his
office. Those who approached him in
awe found themselves at ease in the
presence Of a friend, whose manner
said to every one what he said in a
speech to regiment: 81 happen tenn
porarily to occupy this big White
House. I am a living witness that

any one Of your children. may look to
come here as my fathers child has"
The man fairly exhaled democracy
fraternity, equality. Frederick Doug
las said that Lincoln was the only
white man he ever met who did moi
show consciously or unconsciousiy that
he recognized his color.
Sympathy flowed in constant
stream from it's fountain in this great
heart. A mothers tears, a baby's cry,
a fathers plea, a crutch or an empty
sleeve never failed to move Lincoln.
'If he has no friend, I'll be his friend" "
he sSid as he stopped the shooting of
a soldier, under sentence Of court
martial.
"My poor girl" he said to woman
who pleaded for the life of her soldier
brother, "you have come here with no
governor or senator or member of
congress to speak in your cause; you
seem honest and truthful and you
don't wear hoops, and I'll be whipped
if I don't pardon him."
Lincoln's office was almost his prison
cell through four terrible years. The
shouts of his two little boys at play
always were welcome notes Of joy to
their care-weighted father. He never
objected to their noisily bursting in
upon him, and often he joined the
children in their boisterous games in
the White House grounds.
In the dark days when the nation
itself was at Deaths door, one Of the
boys died. For weeks the grieying
father strove in vain to win a spirit of
resignation, dropping his work for a
day at a time and surrendering to his
sorrow. Doubtless the fortitude he
gained at last in that wreStle with
himself became part Of the heroic faith
which lifted him above the general
despair. when the fortunes Of the
Union sank lowest.
After Willie's death, the other boy
received a double share Of paternal af-
fection. Tad was in the habit of going
to his father in The evening and max
ing a report Of all that had happened
since morning, usually falling asleep
in the midst os his prattle. Laying
the little fellow OH the floor by the
side of his desk, LINCOLN returned to
his heavy tasks until his own long day
was done, when he took his sleeping
boy on his shoulder and carried him
of to bed.

SOUTH CAROLINA PLAN
ADOPTED AT MONTGOMERY

Columbia, Sept. 6.--The foreign
export corporation as approved by
the South Carolina division of the
American Cotton association was
adopted by the American Cotton as
-sociation at Montgomery. Richard l.
Manning of South Carolina was made
chairman of the committee to ar
range for the formation Of the cor
poration.
Holding and reduction resolutions
similar to those passed by the South
Carolina division were also passed
by the Montgomery convention.
South Carolina was we'll repre-
sented and conspicuous on the floor
and on the committee of the Mont
gomery committee. A large delega-
ton attended the convention from
the state. Approximately $4,000
was raised on the floor of the con-
vention to future the work of the
American Cotton association.
Delegates from the other states
expressed a determination to COM
plete their organization, especially
Texas. A delegation of bankers rep
resenting the entire belt assured the
association of assistance in financing
the present crop. The federal re-
serve banks of Dallas, Atlanta and
st. Louis assured the association OF
their cooperation.
The South Carolina delegation to
the convention returned Sunday.

came at once its leader in Illinois;
to his own surprise. the second man
in the balloting for its candidate for
vice president in 1856, and its candi-
date for senator in 1853 against Ste
phen A. Douglas, the author of the re-
peal.
While LINCOLN made ready for that
campaign, as always in every hour of
decision, he retired within himself. He
consulted NO one and gave no hint Of
his line of. attack until he called to-
gether a dozen friends and read to
them his opening speech, which began
with those immortal words: "a house
divided against itself cannot stand. I
believe that this government cannot
endure permanently half slave and
half free !. It will become all
one thing or. all the other"
Every man in the little group warn
ed him that if he delivered the speech
it would defeat him for the senate.
"If I had to draw pen across my
record and erase my whole life from
sight," he quietly. replied, "and I had
one poor gift or choice left as to what
I should save from the wreck, should
choose that speech aad leave it to the
world unerased."
Douglas carried few more legisla-
tive districts and was reelected, but
Lincoln led in the aggregate popular
vote.
Lincoln had met his Bunker Hill.
The great unknown, who had dared to
cross swords with the foremost cham
pion of the repeal, piqued the curios-
ity Of the country. Accepting an invi-
tation to speak in New York, his
Cooper union address established his
intellectual and moral right to lead
the nation.
Nevertheless, when jealous neigh
bors had first entered him as candi-
date for president, he protested that
he was not fit for the place. Until the
convention Of 1860 actually met in Chi
cago, his name seldom was mentioned
for the honor outside his own state.
Two-thirds Of the delegates really fa-
yored the nomination of William Il.
Seward, but as so often happens in
politics, the very pre-eminence of the
New York senator made him unavail-
able. IN the end Lincoln was norni
mated largely because he was the least
known man on the list Of candidates

THE CORRECT CENSUS
OF KlNARDS TOWN

About the first of August the bu-
reau of census published the popula-
ton of Newberry county and gave
the census of Kinards as 1927, and
also the population of the other towns
in the county. Knowing these figures
as to Kinards to be error Col. +. h.
Aull, the supervisor Of the census
for this district, Immediately wrote
the director and called his attention
to the error. Mr.. Aull also called
attention to the figures of Prosperity
and Little Mountain which did not
exactly coincide with the figures
which he had. The director says the
population of Kinards was error as
published by the bureau, but finds
no error as to Prosperity or Little
Mountain. The difference in the
figures as to these two towns was
very little, and it does not make ssy
material difference. The following is
the letter received by Mr.. Aull from
the director:

Dear Sir:
1t is regretted that, because OF
the pressure of the fourteenth CEN
sus work, there has been so great a
delay in replying to your letter of Au
gust 10, in which you call attention
to the error in announcing the pop
uiation of Kinards town and inquire
in regard to the figures for Prosper
ity and Little Mountain towns.
The correct population figure for
Kinards town is 236, instead of 1927
as announced. An error was made
in the division of the Newberry
county enumeration district which
includes part of Kinards town, and
this error resulted in the original an
nouncement of the population of the
town as 1927. Upon receipt of your
letter, a reexamination of the re-
turns was made, and the error in the
division of the Newberry county
enumeration district was discovered
and corrected. It was also discov-
