Mining & Manufacturing Company, and some frieuds went down to KilUans to a fish fry. On reaching their destination, they found that Mr. J. A. Killian, the courteous proprietor of Killian's pond had, in anticipation of their arrival, opened his pond and the waters were fast declining. While waiting on the falling of the pond the party repaired to the "Hotel .Muminert" where a bountiful breakfast awaited them. The morning meal "being finished and the pond not having yet fallen sufficiently low, the party spent the interval in looking over the buildings and works of the S. C. M. & M.

Five buildings complete, three others in the coarse of erection, vats cut out, a spur track graded, a train road graded with trestles etc. already ai?af.fod ?Amf Ttt?r>Viinpr\- already on I the ground, and all needed. ordered and on the way tell in their own peculiar language the energy and progress of this Corporation largely composed and officered with Fairfield men.

Editors, did you know ihut our gatherings here were becoming famous for its pretty young ladies? and I think, to-day, that some of our young men appreciated that fact, judging by their attention.

Editors: I noticed in a late j issne of The Herald a set of resolutions from the Fiimtiv Prize Club, ofLongtown, which were ns follows: ''The Longtown Farmers' Alliance easily glides into a Piize Club, from thencc into endorsing the March Convention, the snb-trea>nrv bill and refusing to support any candidate for office who does not openly endorse Tillman." Now, Messr*. Editor?, I letl that the country at large is entitled to a few facts iii regard to this thing. Upon the occasion of the passing of those resolutions, ti.e Alliance held its regular meeting, and whilst in session those resolutions were proposed. Ttie Alliance refused to entertain them, most positively and unequivocally. The Alliance then adjourned, and the Prize Club was called to order, and alier its regular routine of business said resotnora nrnnntoit lo tllflt bod\". 1UUIMI* n VI V ? ^ The President of the Club, stated as the regular business of the club was at an end and as the said resolutions were entirely at variance with his way of thinking that he would withdraw, which he did do. Mr. Smith was then appointed to the chair, and the resolutions submitted, and approved of by four men. These are the facts, Messrs. Editors, and it is my opinion that it is just such bullies that we see so much of in the ! Charleston World. Now, Messrs. Editor?, whenever the Longtown FarmetV Alliance does any easy gliding in that direction I will inform you how it is done. For there is a ''child among them taking notes, and faith he'll print it." ALLIANCE MAN. PROCEEDIXGS OF .TACKSOX CREEK DEMOCRATIC CLUB. At a meeting of Jackson Creek Democratic Club, held June 7, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, the Farmers' Convention of South Carolina, held in Columbia, March 27, 1890, saw fit to placc before the people for their consideration the name of Capt. B. K. Tillman, of Edgefield, as a suitable candidate for the office of Governor of South Carolina; and, whereas, ihe right of such action upon the part of the farmers has been denied and bitterly opposed; and, wherea?, we deem it eminently proper that the farmers particularly should give expressions to their views in the matter, therefore be it rcsojved: 1. That wc, ihe farmers of Jackson Creek Democratic Club of Fairfield County, recognize the heroic services already rendered by Capt. B. R. Tillman in the cause of economical government and the advancement of the farmers' interest, that, we have implicit confidence in the honesty, ability and fearlessness of Capt. R. Tillman to carry to successful issue ttie worK 01 reform which he lias so well begun. 2. That we io hereby pledge ourselves to snpport him until the State Convention shall decide otherwise. 3. That we heartily endorse the action of the March Convention and said platform of principles, and we will teach and disseminate the principles as laid down in said platform. 4. That believins: said principles to be just and fair to ourselves and all other citizens, we will make it a part of our duty, as members of this club, to use our influence and put forth our best efforts to have him nominated and elected Governor of South Carolina. ?. That we will not give our support to any candidate for County officers unless they are in sympathy with the . ! reform measures as set forth in the j platform adopted by the March Con ' I vention, and believiug it to be oar duty j to work tor the defeat of all candidates I who are unfriendly to the agricultural I interest or who we mav have reason tc I Relieve are only friendly to us for the , ! t-ake ??f obtaining office or gain. < ' (J.

"Sins, sing of love, let music sound In melting cadence Uoat around;" was the unexpressed, but deeply felt thought which coursed through the mind of tl.e young and the gay who are devotees of terpsichorc and the Cyprian goddes?, and who visited the "? ? j. 1 _ ? j armory on mnrsaay nignt anujomeu in the delightful measures of the dance as the sweet strain of music rolled down the large hall reverberating to its utmost corners. The troupe of maskers came forth gaudily and richly attired, presenting a scene that was fascinating to behold. All phases of human life were represented, the weird, the grotesque, and the beautiful, creating altogether a picture never to be foigotten. The ladies, for once in their lives, were on time.

The door of the ladies' dressing room was thrown open, and they came forth marching down the right side of the hall. The gentlemen filed from their room and the two processions met in ihe middle ot the hall, and here one of the mosi interesting features of the whole occasion took place. Each was intent iinnn rpiwnizmcr (lie other. The amount of manerism displayed in the vain hope of preserving their incognito was truly remarkable. The clowr. stood on tip toe and cavorted around; the Father of his Country smiled and bowed and looked as solemn as though he was about ro deliver his inaugural address; Aurora, The Daughter of Dawn, shed gladness about; the Grand Turk smote his beard with heathen gravity; Night spread her ,?able pinions ana the stars came forth lo blossom like lilies on the tomb of day; the Sister of Mercy went oli/mr lien tiftiifiviv'mif jact fit* rlisnpn sing happiness singing a Inllaby. to soothe Baby Mine; th? Moons shed iheir pale lustre o'er the scene, and genile Spring made her exit on a hot June night; the days of Catherine de Medici were brought back io all as a Maid of Honor moved around with grace and stately dignity; the Parisian Flower Girl dispensed the fra graiice of beautiful bouquets to all and added additional charm to the beauty of flowers; the maid of Athens made many a bean cry* "Oh, give etc;" Sweet Maud Muller raked her bay; The Daughter of the Confedracy struck a chord of sympathy in the hearts of all and awoke the sentiments of patriotism in the hearts of young and old carrying us back to the day when hope was ever buoyant; and there was the figure of "Le petit chaperonc " -- *- - 1" ?... .U~ rouge," bo iaunuiu iu luc umuuuuu vi all appearing once again audtbe associations of the nursery days were aroused; the Spirit of "the White Lady of Avenel" moved amid the assembled throng; the Fortune Teller went about trying her art hood-winking the young, and pretending to deal in the future; the Peasant Girl's sweet simplicity gave .charming relief to the dignity assumed by others. So all in all it was a magnificent scene. With "Home, Sweet Home," ended the Mask Ball. Miss Mattie Eglestoi* represented Aurora, mnk silk ffracefully draped with spangled veil ot handsome talle.

Editors: Gen. Braltorrs letter of recent date accepting the wishes of his friends to enter the Gubernatorial contest has given the Anti TiUmanites of this community great satisfaction. They feel that in him all professions ofonr people can concentrate, from the highest to the most humble calling. He enters the race with a pure motive. He has never been connected with any of the so called rings, that have been so loudly howled down by the 'majority of the voting population, nor has his name ever been associated ? i*i u: u?* Willi ?111VI 111 11^ UllL wuai 13 yI' 1 ^ ^uu noble. He is a loan who lias always done his duty in war and in peace, and who has the courage and the judgment, decision and ability, which in our present political situation we so much need.

Bratton's work is absolutely without (~1 n? > ff An rri'll flnf lUltilUclllUii. attvu win v,u(.vi the race to stay to its final end; which in my humble opinion will result in his nomination, which I think will be a God send for the Democratic party. Gen Bratton is a conservative man, one who can heal the wound which has been so severely inflicted by the ultra men on each side. I ihink that if Cap.r. B. R. Tillman or any of the old officials were to receive the nomir>o?irm of this time if- wonhl result in ruiii to the Democratic party, something like a compromis in my opinion will have to be effected to keep the people organized and have them take the interest they have always taken against the Radical party. The Democrats c&n ill afford to loose any of their strength at this period. We all know that the welfare of the entire people of the State depends upon the continued administration of public aflairs by the Democratic party which alone combines the intelligence, experience and " A T H E P0^: - Bargains that will intox your pocket-book to death.
