Ry half past ten o'clcck lust Saturday quit? a crowd bad gathered ut the spring about a mile front Kelton and had seated themselves on the side of the hill opposite a small mound of earth on which the speakers were expected to stand, and were impatiently ^ wailing for a speaker to be announced. W. M. Vandcrford, master of ceremonies, opened the exercises by the announcement <>t the first speaker. Jno. <>. Tate, candida'e for the office of Supervisor of Registration. Mr. Tate -detailed his services to the Reform movement, and showed how he hud always done his duty.

Inasmuch as Smith had had the olhce for five or six years, the race was between himself and Lancaster. Mr. Tate finished his speech with a.joke and sat down amidst the hurrah's of his friends. In the absence of T. J. II, Smith. J. 11. Lancaster, candidate for same office, whs next called to the stand. Lancaster sai l that tiiero was no special issue in the race between himself and his oppoueuts, .as they nil belonged to the same party, but lie wanted to say that lie was a true Ileformer. Said that be had done his best to advance the interest of the Lteform movement, and was now a candidate, lie wanted votes, his candidacy would not amount to an; tiling unless he could get the votes of the people. He was not responsible for being president of the Defeated Candidates Association, as he had been elected to that position. That Society had been organized 1" years ago mainly through his influence. Said that Mr. Tate had done enough according to his own statement. "Vote for me and let me do something. .1 IS. T. Scott, candidate for the office of County Supervisor, was the next speaker.

No individual had ever lest 1 one cent by b.s administration in the ofliee ' of Treasurer, ami his bondsmen who were 1 present, would tes'ify to that fact.

J. ii. Unities, candidate for the otlice of County Treasurer, win next introduced. He said that he was no speaker nod accused some of the other candidates of having been practising their speeches in the woods, lie vp We about the financial condition of the country at largo ; then about Cnion County, and said that the County needed a man of experience at the Treasurer's post. That he himself was a practical book kee per and had worked in the treasurers otlice several years. J. D. tioitigs, for same otlice, said that he merely had announcement to make and did , not want to speak. J. S. Welsh, candidate for the House of Kepresentntlves, was opposed to educating the negro with money raised Iroin taxing the whites. He said that that money collected from the negro nud that only ought to be appropriated to the negro free schools. Ho was also in favor of lessening the rate of interest and said that > per cent. wa? enough for a man to make on his money. After a short announcement by the editor of Tub Times, linner was announce 1 and for about an hour the crowd was at its ease to eat dinner. An excellent barbecue prepared and served by Messrs.

He told of the 6nnnc:al panics thnt we have suffered at stated intervals during our history and asked who hal caused them. .Said that the farmers had not fur they had never had the government. That the 70,000 lawyers in the I'nitcd States were represented in the government by 223 lawyers in the House of Representatives and 03 in the Senate, while the nine and one half million farmers had ouly 37 in both houses. That there bad been farmers in the legislature but they were elected by the towns as well as by the country, and did not have that regard for the interest of the country that they ought. There would never come any relief to the farmer until the farmers took charge of the government. The Democrats had made big promises which failed to materialize, that after the election they said that if wo had frco silver the Knglislt would send over their silver and take away our gold, for his part, he wished the Rnglish would dump a cart loal of silver in every farmer's back yard, lie said that the Alliance had bridged over the late war and n"W the Democrats of the South must join with the Republicans and l'opulists of the west an 1 work together for their common interest.

Said that Gantt had never aided the Alliance, and nsked why lie had not been reported before if he had been cheating the Alliance through the I'd years that he was U. |{.

Duncan finished his speech with an iccotint of his relations to the Alliance, and refuted the charges iu?de against him, of lobnobbing with Donaldson and working for Cleveland. Col. Duncan made a goo 1 speech. Ilis irgunient was very forcible and he delivered t with t el Sing effect.

July 24.?The farmers have been very jubilant over the line prospects of Ihe crops, but since tlie continual fall of the hard rains which have not ceased for the past week or ten days they are feeling blue and fear if tiie ruins continue the now promising cotton crop will be cut olf by the rust. The corn crot> iti this section is lie finest we lisve liml (or years. If not destroyed through the wise providence of God, the farmers will not buy any corn another year. Their cribs will be full au>l overflowing. Kev. J. A. llell, baptist pastor from Greenville, S. , began a protracted meeting at the Carlisle Academy last Sunday. His sermons are fine and impressive. Notwithstanding tl^e ioclemency of the weather his congrcguions are large. Mr. C. 1$. Hatch ford, a student from I lie Theological Seminary of Clarksville, Tenn., is teaching a three month's school at the Carlisle Academy. Mr. batcliford is a young man of fine abi'ities. Ilis religious intluence adds much to his ipialitica'i ?ns as an instructor of children. Miss Lily banders, of North Carolina, and Mr. yucry, of Wellford, S. 0., are visiting their relatives, Mr, G. IV. Hill and family. Omsia Vkuistas. Sednlia July *J4.?Mr. Kiutou :?According to promise 1 will give you the news from this part of the county. We have been blessed with plcuty of rain during the past month. The farmers are rejoicing over the prospect of an abundant harvest. Should propitious seasons continue through August tlicy will he amply rewnrcd for their labors. In addition to these temporal blessings, many have had their spiritual strength renewed. The meeting at Padgett s Creek closed Friday night. Hcv. 1. L. Outs did the preaching and fully sustained liis reputation as a faithful minister of I ho gospel. Two services were held daily, morning and night The result of the meeting can not be fully realized in this world The church is greatly revived, sinners convicted and many, we trust, have accepted the Savior, and wiP. ere long, come out on the Lord's side.

Jt ly 2K.?The po'itical speaking at Gnult Camp Ground Spring last Saturday was largely attended and was the quietest political gathering seen in some time at I'ea Kidge. The candidates made good speeches and everybody enjoyed the day. General Farley was at Kelton on the 21st inst., and inspected the I'ea KiJge Kifle Company. He made a short hut happy speech to the boys, full of instruction and advice. The General looked nice in his official costume, and his plumes and epaulets ind buttons made the I'ea Kidge boys long for uniforms. General Farley wound up by complimenting the company and promised us guns at .an early date. Kcv. G. F. Clarkson and others gave an ice creatu supper at Kelton but Saturday evening for the benefit of the parsonage. There were four burials in one day in 1 I'inckney township week before last, something that I d > not remember to have lispMr. d. F. limey is very low with consumption. His friends and relatives en.ertain no hope of Irs ever being able to be out ag*i". .... [ Mrs. A. G. Itcnlloy is ?iiIc ill with heart trouble. ^ Mrs. T. N. Kelly is in vcrj' feeble health. The Kclion and Saitorsvillo base bill | teams played a match game of ball at Foster's Chapel last Saturday. Sartorsvillc 1 had e;ght innings and made '.M runs. Kelt-n had 7 innings and made "J1 suns. If Kclton could have gdtcn even innings they * would have coine out victorious. The umpire called the game a little before sun- J down on account of darkness. The imip re must be near sighted. K. li.

I do not think peas arc going to be as good as last season. Home corn is "laid by," and the "finishing touch" is being put in cotton to some extent. Home farmers are making preparation to plant a second crop of irisli potatoes, and also for sewing turuip seed. The people arc trying to get themselves in good shape for picnics, barbecues and campaign meetings, for polities is beginning to bod pretty briskly. For several weeks it was only sizziug bke water in a steam boiler when it is first lired, hut now it is fairly bubbling. Several are making up tho'r tickets even before they hear the candidates speak. This shows that while they like to heur candidates define themselves, that thev do not iro altogether bv what thev hear. l'licy are getting anxious for the Stale campaign meeting on the dlst. It seems that quite a number of copies ot the Piedmont Ilcadlii/ht are being scut gratis to citizens around here, and ! understand that they are being sent by Mr. Wilson, candidate for Congress. Evidently, he wishes more people to know what course the Ucndli'jht is pursuing to get him elected. Mr. Wilscn has widely commanded the best regards anil respect of the people in this section, but if he goes to Congress on the excursions lie is allowing his paper to run for the purpose of getting him there, he will not have the general admiration for his course that lias been accorded him heretofore. The protracted meeting at the Baptist church closed last Friday night. The congregations were not large, sometimes on account of the bad weather, but largely, it seems, due to a iack of interest on the part of many members. There were no accessions to the church, but all credit is due the pastor, Rev. Mr. Bell, who worked untiringly and did all lie could, and it is generally expressed, there was some tine preaching. The services was by bible reading in the morning and preaching at night. From here lie went to Carlisle and begau a series of meetings yesterday. Protracted services began with the Methodist church yesterday. The pastor, ltev. Mr. Barr. is expecting Bev. Mr. Rogers, of Spartanburg, to assist him. Mrs. E. V.

Our Methodist people are doing sonic much needed repairs upon their parsonage. Last Friday there was a very destructive liail storm n few miles above Jonesville. I'ho centre of its destruction was on Mr. lharles I.ittiejohn s plantation. The cotton was literally stripped of its fruit and corn was badly damaged.

At tlio organization of Mount Tnbor Alliance in 1800 lire. J. II. Savage was clootcd ' President, and his z?a! for the older auu tiio sprapnthy for his follow citizens gained the confidence of all the brethren, and he was held in that position until his health gave way, and on the Oth day of July God called his spirit up higher, to leave a wife and 5 children and all that know hitn to mourn his departure, tail we have that sweet us1 surance that our loss is his eternal gain. He joined the Presbyterian church when he was young, and he served as a ruling o'der and a superintendent of the Sunday School in hi* church, discharging every duly imposed upon him, to the satisfaction of his brethren and friends, with always an . eye single to the glory of tlod. He was a wise leader, a safe counselor, a true citizen and a model christian gentlemen. It is therefore? Ueaolvcii. That this Alliance bow with humble submission to the will of Uod, while we deeply mourn the loss of our brother we do feel thnukful to Uod for the life he has lived among us. 2ud. That we lender our heartfelt sympathies and prayers to the bereaved wife nud children, and admouish his sons to imitate the Uhrist-liko example that their father set before them, and trust that the loss they have sustained will work out for their eternal good. 3rd.
