Editors: I desire the use of a small amount of space in your columns to set myself right before the public, and especially the mercantile ?Li:. puuiu;. It is currently reported that I said that I did not want any but farmers or members of the Alliance to vote for me. In the words of a good Presbyterian candidate for another office, this is an "infamous lie." "What I did say was that I would be elected by the farmers, or in other words, that a majority of the votes cast for me would be cast by the farmers, and I say that yet. I hope the day will never come when I, or any other farmer, will become so bigoted or narrow-minded that we cannot, in all honesty and sincerity, wish the merchant or any other class that success and prosperity which their energy and industry deserves. However, gentlemen, if in attempting to take care of ourselves we should unintentionally tramp on your toes, you must grin and endare it, or better still, put your surplns money into cotton factories and railroads. This land is broad enough lor all classes, and may the day not be far distant when the flag of the Union shall wave proudly over a nappy, prosperous, and united people. Very respectfully, Andrew Y.

Editors: A few days ago the writer, in company with two others, was returning from a fish at Mr. John Qawley's mill pond near the tipper edge of Richland connty. One of the party suggested that we call on Mr. "Wesley Rabon, whose place is one mile west of the above-mentioned pond, and get a watermelon. The day was anusnally warm, not a cloud to be seen, barely a sensible stir of the air; and truly we presented tne appearance of hopeless victims of the crucl heat as we approached that gentleman's premises and called. "Woefully hot, gentlemen, worst yet Come in and cool.-*' Refusing to "cool/' and stating that the prime object of our call was to secure a watermelon, he led the way to the patch. It was near a large hickory tree standing on the side of a slight elevation?not a hill proper?but somewhat higher than the adjoining ground. Almost panting, perspiring, tired, and out of humor, we threw ourselves dejectedly into the shade of the tree. To our surprise and delight a stiff breeze immediately began to play with our handkerchiefs and dry the drops of perspiration from i ac foreheads. Over head the thu:U i^ckorv leaves kept up x continued fluttering, and the corn Diaaes near Dy ueai uvuiy uiuuuu mc unsteady stalk. One of the party remarked the sudden change from deathly stillness to such delightful breeziness, but at the same moment observed that a short way off the weeds and leaves were motionless and gave no evidence of the slightest stir of air. We asked an explanation of Mr. Rabon, he replied: "Well, you see how the breeze is stirring around here now? Since I have known the place I have always found it this way at this tree?always cool, no matter how hot and still it is everywhere else. Come here at any time and you find the wind blowing, these leaves moving, and upon the whole, the coolest place I have ever found 0:1 a hot day." "On any day, you say?" "Yes, Sir,"any day. I defy any man to catch that tree asleep." We were astonished, but had no ground on which to doubt Mr. JLtabon's statement. After enjoying a delicious melon and becoming thoroughly cool, we took up our line of march homeward, leaving the interesting hicory to its own merry rustling. \v. j. k. Blythewood, S. C., Aug. IS.

Editors: For the first time I turned out to hear the candidates for the "dear people's suffrage" on Friday, the 17th inst., at Winusboro, and I must confess my surprise at the hospitality of the citizens of Winr.sboro. It was certainly a display of the greatest liberality and discreet management I ever witnessed. The political speeches were tolerably interesting, and really some were good. I confess Mr. Duncan sar- ' prised me. He is sure to secure respect by all parties and a heavy poll. All "the candidates, except one, ' favored an agricultural college. Is -3 -1 mis acme wr iue suku ui uiu ucai farmers'" suffrage? This college is advocated by many of them, but as I , think and many others, one of their greatest blunders is in seeking equality of positiou with other classes of citizens. Kelief from our present burdens and oppressive circumstances is the seed; not relief or assistance fifty years hence. And a youth coming from this college, if he farms at all, will "nave to be a success by experience, as other boys raised on home premises are never a success without good sense. I have extensive acquaintance, and the average of successful farmers is far in favor of illiterate men, but men of good sense. ijo teachers coming with certificates of the highest order of diplomas from first-class colleges are not a success unfit they show by experience evidences of good sense by coming down to equality in understanding with children. Mr. Jones, of Greenwood, Abbeville county, came out of the South Carolina College with the highest honors and went to teaching, and told me inanv vears after he was a failure until he'learned to fallback on nature. His good sense told him it was easier to go down to children than to require them to put their heads on his shoulders. He then proved one of our most eminent teachers. So it will be with agricultural students. Success will only follow after graduating from good'sense. We hope to hear less of this college by our politicians. s. ar. s. Buckhead, S. C. /ITTTt-n ?

The campaign meeting at Horcb on Tuesday was in every particular a marked one. The shady grove near the old DnBose Store was the appointed place for the gathering, and a more suitable and convenient spot could scarcely have been found anywhere in that richly blessed community.

The speakers were well and warmly received?cacn candidate using his every endeavor to wiu the popular favor. The audience was divided in its preferences and favorites and it is safe to say every candidate felt and know that he had his friends upon the ground. The Sheriffs race seems to be absorbing most of the public thought in the Iloreb section, but closely upon its heels comes tbc exciting race for Clerk of the Court. The other candi* dates for the several offices have succeeded in dividing about equally the attention of the voters. About 2 o'dock the dinner was announced.
