CHILDREN'S DAT AT THE Jf. E. CHURCH. The Methodist Episcopal Church, South, has, whithiu the last few years, inaugurated a very beautiful custom of dedicating one Sabbath in each year to the children, with the view of having the interest of religion associated in the minds of these little ones with care for their innocent enjoyment and pleasures. The third j Sabbath in May is the day selected by the General Conference for ibis purpose; a time when the peculiar beauties of spring are at their best, aiul which is fitly connected with the spring time of life. From unavoidable circumstances the set time was this near passed over in "VVinnsboro; and last Sunday was celebrated as the "Children's Day" instead. In spite of the great heat a large congregation assembled in tho Metl?dist Church bv half past eight o'clock in the evening-. All the other churches in town were closed in compliment to the occasion and the audience was comprised of representatives from every other denomination. The church was handsomely decorated; the railing1 around the pulpit was almost concealed by a chain of green leaves, while the pulpit itself, the wall lamps and the windows on either >ide the pulpit, were as beautiful green leaves and bright flowers artistically and tastefully arranged could make them. The exercises of the evening: commenced with singing- the hymn "There'll be joy by and by," which was rendered with great spirit by Die choir, Miss Eunice Connor presiding at the organ. The following programme was presented : 1. Singing: "ThereMlbe joy by and by." 2. Prayer, by the Pastor. 3. Singing: "What must it be to be there.'' 4. Welcome Address: Master Edgar Matthews. o. Singing: "Around the throne." (I UfVMhitioii ' "VVnrlv-fnralltodo"? Master Albert Connor. 7. Singing: "Work for the night is coming." S. Recitation: "Room for the children-'?Miss Mamie Ilinnant. 9. Responsive Reading. 10. Recitation: "Cheerfully jfivo"? Miss Bertha Robinson. 11. Pastor's Address: Kcy R. Herbert Jones. 12. Singing: "Christ for the World." 13. Recitation: "The last Hymn"? Miss Effie Beckham. 14. Singing: "Peace, Be Still!" 15. llecitation: "The Light J louse" j ?Master Willie Roache. 10. Singing: "The Light along the shore." 17. Address: "Collections" Hiss Mauiie Jordan. 18. Collection by four little girls. 19. Singing: "God be with you till we meet again/' 20. Benediction, by the Pastor. The recitations by the little boys and girls were given with great ease of manner, and reflected ijreat credit upon botli teachers aud pupils of the Sunday School. When all did so well, it would be invidious to particularize: but if there be one that, deserves especial mention, it is "The last Hvmn'* by Miss Effie Beckham, who rendered this touching poem witli considerable dramatic force, and excited no little feeling among the audience. A liberal collection was received: and from every point of view "Children's Day" was a complete success; and the thanks of the community ur? due to the children of the Methodist Church for the exceeding pleasant evening afforded by the exercises of this occasion..

XOTES FROM GltEJSXJiRlEIC. Crops in Fair Condition?ImprovementsPolities. M'-s.si-a. Editors: Things in this section are, as reported by your other correspondent, in a healthy condition generally, that is, crops arc clean and promising', cotton especially, the health wf the community good and our people jubilant over the extra fine crop of blackberries now ripening. We surely hope that our enterprising friends at White Oak will make a note of this latter, for I think blackberries are more natural in cans than any other fruit we have. Our people arc gradually bettering their condition, and as means increase e).nw mnw onternrise. Mr. Tom Ruff has erected quite a neat dwelling between the ?Id Nelson homestead and Rockton, and expects to move in it this fall. By the way, Mr. Ruff is fast earning a reputation, and I think justly, as one of the crack farmers of the county. He has emhibed from his neighbor, Arthur Hays, also one of the best farmers in the State, that essential and important faculty of keeping up, in fact a little ahead of his work, and therefore always has a clean crop. I don't think that any one has noted ** 1 Till lSrif* tne iacr mai we jju?c u from Kockton to the Quarry, which gives quite a business air to things, especially, as it is known that several stores and dwellings will before long be put lip at llockton. The report of the political condition here is not as represented by your correspondent who would have you infer tbat Greenbrier endorses Tillman. This old club is very staunch in its Democracy and :s proud of its record as <he first organization in the county. We have not forgotten that Greenbrier was assigned the right of ! the column ou all public occasions in ! compliment of the efficiency of its members, and we do not propose to resign it to any one. Tillman has a following here, but it is growing small and beautifully less by degrees, and when the time comes you will see a solid Bratlon delegation up to the County Convention. Before closing let me say, hurrah for solid John Bratton ! From the bottom of my hearl 1 say, God bless bim, and speed his mission, for there is more solid sense in that bald head of his and more patriotism in that true farmer hearl *' ~ ?

Editors; I am not accus toined to writing for newspapers, bu if yon will allow si little space in years I think, I can prove that the ranks o the old straightout Democracy. th< Democracy that redeemed our Stat* 4i*/\m fVntn "nio-<rRr" rule ii 1LKSLII w or? 70, has been broken by the part] which claims (o be composed of goo( Democrats. You will please pardoi me for sajing that I am now sirt; years of age, that I served four year daring the war as a Confederate sol dier, that I have a commission as ai officer in one of the fn*3t companie that volunteered its services in de fence ot our State when she secede* from the Union, that I have been : Democrat of the strictest sect, eve since I knew what Democracy was. Now for the proof. TheTillmanite claim that the old party has not beei broken, that there is no split in it etc etc. Now, lets see, I have attendci Democratic meetings regularly am have never beeu excluded from any o their bodies; but on Tuesday, the lOt. inst. the Tillmanites held a politics meeting of some kind in Winnsbor and as "the v are all Democrats I ver naturally concluded that the meetin was a Democratic one and as seven of my friends (Tillmanites) invite myself and my old friend Capt. Irb to attend it with them; and if you wi pardon a short digression just here will mention the fact that. Irbv and have the credit of being the only me tbat, succeeded in getting into the Stat House in ?7G with our red shirts o and could tell yon that we met tli IT. S.

I fully agree j < i with Mr. Facts Giver -that the resolu-j j tions were first introduced into the j i Alliance, but I do most emphatically j deny that "the Alliance did refuse to ? ! entertain them." It was by the suggestion of a brother who was heartily j in favor of the resolutions that they were withdrawn, and not for any ^ other reason. Immediately after the ] adjournment of the Alliance the Prize ] Club wai called to order, and, at the ( proper time, the writer offered the j i resolutions that came so near taking , the life of Mr. Facts Giver, and not at ' all was I surprised when our president ) refused to hear them?but a9 we had . ; other men in the house besides the i "four" the chair was soon iilled and j Tillmanism adopted. j Now, Messrs.

Editors: "United we stand; 1 divided we fall." With your permis, sion I desire to say a few words to ray I fot-mors nn thfi nolitical situa I UlVUUVl UUHIV.kJ vr.? I tion. For several years past we have felt and i ecognized the fact that we have not received fair and just treatment at 1 the hands of our law-makers, and have ; also believed that our State Governj ment could be more economically ad> ministered. Hence, about four years t ago we inaugurated what is known as 1 the Farmers' Movement, and which culminated in the Farmers' Convenvention, which was held last March at ; Columbia. At that convention our ' representatives adopted a platform of _ j principles, the execution of which, we \ t j think, will materially promote our in| terests without working detriment to j the interests of any other cla?s. At a I that convention (knowing that more 11 than once the will of the people had i I been defeated by '''political chicanery") ,! they thought it wise and prudent to j j select a man as the exponent and ex1 pouuder of tprinciples, and their :Mianimon? . i?uice was "The Great [ CommoiK-r," Capt. B. It. Tillman, of J s i Tivi/.'ofioM I'omiiv* flip, homn of (he' JJU^VliVi'4 vyy/vt.., . , _ - fearless and gallant Gen.

Tillman is naturally and pear- j :1 liar/;/ "our candidate," and we should j i rally to his support to a man and meet i .. the determined opposition of other; classes, lie is a practical and success- j ful farmer (despite the erroneous states ments to the coutrary). and the "helm" { u of the 'Ship of State" would be safe ; > in liis hands; and more 'than that, he | i | has truly at heart the welfare of the | tl j "down trodden" fanners of old Fair-j 'fiiield as well as the entire State of j h ' South Carolina. He, several years j d ' ago, saw the tendency in the political I o j centres to deny us our just rights, and j >' i to impose unjust burdens upon us, and i g ! single-handed and alone began the fight d ; in|our behalf.

To the Editor of the Xeir.s audi Courier: Flic following" is an extract from the Xcir.* and Courier report of Mr. Till:nan\s speech at Anderson. "I have no reputation for courage :o make., and I went out [from the IMdgewav meeting] to prevent a riot, r saw a dozen men with their hands >11 their pistols. Two-hundred and ifty men were yelling for Tillman. Hid a h'llj hundred Vnirersily shtdcids, j J'aiilnt/ian/ guards cud or erseers teere | tollerint/ fur Yoimnun.

But f didn't do what they wanted. I saw what they were after ind acted as 1 did. calling mv men from the meeting. ' Half a hundred University students, etc, went lip for the purpose of getting up a riot" with "two hundred md fifty men yelling for Tillman!" Fifty vs. two hundred and fifty! I must apologize for undertaking seriously to correct a statement so lbsnrd on its face. But that which roes uncorrected will (especially in these strange times) be accepted by | inanv as unquestioned. Moreover, there is a certain hostility to the I'nirersitv that will make many eagerly believe that the .students, forsaking their studies, followed Mr. Tillman to fJidgeway?not to "get up a riot," possibly, but to jeer at and insult the candidate. This, taken in connection with the unfortunate March demonstration made by some of the students, would be conduct well calculated to excite bitter indignation. I wish therefore to give the facts j ?ince J was in a position to Know j better than Mr. Tillman who "'went up'' from Columbia and how they behaved. As lie claims to be a lover of truth and a champion of the in-j jured, I trust lie will take the oppor-1 tunitv now in one of the earliest of liis campaign speeches to repair as much as possible the injustice he lias [lone to the University, j fe may then in some measure clear himself "of the suspicion of having* begged in the name of the University to profit by the prejudices against it in certain localities, which isinost unworthy of a patriot struggling to enlighten the masses. - i The University exercises, were suspended Friday and Saturday, the 2d i and :Ul of 31 ar, for llic students to j take their annual excursion to Char- i leston. As is annually the case,, scarcely more than half went. If a great number, with their time thus at their own disposal, had gone up to the Ridgeway meeting, Saturday, the 4th. there would have been nothing i?nproper in it. and therefore nothing to excite suspicion. For young' men, some of them old enough to vote, are not worthy to be citizens if tlicv take no interest in politics, especially when all jrood citizens are being called upon bv Capt. Tillman to cleanse the old Commonwealth of ;:this political leprosy "vvhicli now permeates our entire Governmental fabric." But it will be interesting to mention in detail those that "'went up," so that thcptiblic may judge whether they had any higher interest in meeting than to "get up a riot,*"*" and whether the latter charge was not a gratuitous assumption unworthy of one "lit to canvass t-he State and lit to he its Governor/. I am a native of Fairfield, and have never lost touch with my neighbors there. I still own and manage my farm where I was born; where I spent my summers and Chrismas holidays, and where 1 intend ultimately to settie a,s a farmer pure and simple.
