Mr. J. Lee Gilmore was united in marriage to Miss Annie J. Adams within one hour after they concluded to marry. They casually met there and married without any preparation. They have known each other since childhood, associated almost every day, of very high social standing and fine fortune, anil the sudden consummation of years of courtship makes the event the topic. The bride is the only child of the Jate Jesse II. Adams who was prepared for college at Mt. Zion and has many friends in Fairfield. Best wishes for Tiie News and IIekald. T. W. Scruggs. | Hopkins, S.

I'he Tillman faction has been sustained by the State Convention and Coanty primary, consequently Mr. Lvles is the leral County Chairman. The Chairman wi 1 dimply call a meeting of all clubs organized before the 13lh ci August, 1S90; appoint a time for the convention; call lbe convention to order, and the members will elect a new chairman. In the face of the above fact?., this is a small matier for men to be contending for?the County Chairmanship. Consider what the result may be if kept up! I notice from the papers that Gov. Tillman is a candidate for re-election. He ha? made a go?ci Governor, and those who weie informed, thai supported him, have fully realized all they expected of him and his admLnistralien. lie has brain, courage, and eloquence,equal to any man in the State; but I had hoped, for peace and nnitv of the Democratic part:v in tli3 State, he would not allow his name used again for office. His entering the field as a candidate -will create another bitter campaign. Any conservative, dignified, capable, man, not having bden prominent in politics, audinfull sympathy with the str aggling agricultural class, can accomplish as much as governor as he could now, and satisfy all classes. The names Tillmanite, ami-Tillmanite, Haokellite, i are and should be obsolete in the I coming election. / c. s.f. f Z y I N \ 1 j VIEly AT COLLEGE. Mr. Otis It. "Withers dies at tlie South Carolina College Infirmary,, and is buried in Tv'innsboro. Seldom have tre been called upon to chronicle usadder death than that of our \oung friend Mr. Oiis It. Withers, who died at the South Carolina College Infirmary last Tuesday morning. It had been found necessary by :Lc eminent physicians attending lr:fii to perform two very delicate and TM dangerous operations, from mc m=t operation he rallied and his anxious frieuds had hoped for his recovery; at the second, it was discoveied that, even with the best trained nursing and the great skill of his physicians, his life could not bi saved. The announcement of his death Tuesday in Winnsk'ro, his home, 1?A kflAii 1 .Afn one? >Y uci C lie ilait uggu I7vi n MWM . ,. made many hearts ache with grief. Mr. Withers was a son of eur esteemed townsman, Capt. I. N. Withers. He was born February 19tb," 1872, and was a young man in the vary dawn of life, full of hope, and had I he promise of a bright and useful career before him. By inheritance, he had a brilliant intellect and a high aud manly character to which had been added culture and refinement. His manliness, integrity and pleasing address had won for him the confin?,i fiMcn^chhi nf tfip older | CI 1J U i 4 1 Vi* V* V ? | citizens as well as that of his cotemporaries borh at hsms and at college. While at Mount Zion tie pupil was more papular than Otis Withers, and the trusiees suspended exercises on Wednesday in re?pect to his memory, lie entered theSouth Carolina College in the tall of 1SS9 being one of two successful contestants for the Alumni Scholarship in the State, and at the time of his death was in the Junior Class. In College, as in Winnsboro, he made many warm friends both Ammsnr Me if! low-st udents and | ciiizc: s of Columbia. With the thy and officers of the College he eld in high esteem. Iirepror.ch|kchuraclcri-^zealous ;:i the disge of his duties, always courlcous ana dignified in the classroom, he had gained their affectionate repaid.

One of the leading members t>f the j Etiphradian Literary Society, he was e'.eeted as* one of tlie two debaters at the joint debate with the Clariesopbic latt December, and with his associate won the debase. The remains of our young friend were brought to Winnsboro Tuesday accompanied by Prof. R. Means Davis, of the Faculty, F. H. McMaster, Esq , Messrs. \V. Aiken Kelly, Jr., J. W. Jervev, and the student pallbearers, and was met at the train by a large number of friends. The funeral services were held at th? Presbyterian Church, of which the diceased was a member, on Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock. The large attendance at the funeral attested to his popularity. Respect to his memory was shown by the many floral offerings sent from Columbia i and by friends in "Winnsboro, among them being offerings of the Chapters of the Pfai Kappa Psi and Alpha Tau Omega Fraternities and his own Fraternity's ofiering, badge of tlie order j made of violets and hyacinths, the adopted flowers.

Editors: Seeing' in a recent issue of The News and Herald a response to Reform, you will please indulge me in reply, as I am the author of Reform. Friend Boyd doubtless ir. ignorant of who the attorney for the Board of County Commissioners is. If he vrill inquire, he will find that he was a strong advocate of Gen. Bratton (straightout seems to be unpopular this year) and supported the nominee sf the Democratic State CounrentioH, at it was right that all /. /v-ir? Tlam verntc slinnlH rin. Friend Boyd appears to know a great deal J about the Poor House. If there during the yeur ISSJ^^never ! heard of it. Vac corn \re found 011 the placer January, 1891, we estimated. /vj-' at about 500 bushel.-, 75 Ji^hels being leftover from ibe prei vious year made by Cameron. I think that was the amount (500 bushels) according to Bro. Tennant, who claimed to be the judge; the 400 or 450 bushels made by Deitz being about one seventh either rotten or unfit to feed stock of any kind except hogs. (Jtfo reflection meant to Deitz, as rotton corn was common that year.) By the war, that damaged corn was what Jones fed those hogs on, that and haying used one of the Poor House mule one day in plowing in oats, causcs him to raise a halleluiah shout in his unsuccessful effort to make a mountain of a mole hill. We permitted Jones to bring a sow and pigs to the Poor House to raise on shares as they were improved Berksnires, which improvement was greatly needed, as tne stocK we iouna there was the "razor back" breed, and would take $5.00 worth of corn to make $-1.00 worth ot bac*?n. You say Deitz left 1200 pounds of bacon. I visited the Poor House four or five days alter Jones took charge, Januarv 1, 1891, and carefully superintended the weighing ot the 1200 pounds of bacon you say Dcitz lsft, inspected the weights of every piece, aucl the aggregate weights made 7o6 pounds, 110 more 110 less, not hearsay but reality. If Friend Boyd erred in one particular it;6 very likely he erred in others. As to the amount of Jones' corn crop he made 35 loads; he measured what he considered an average load and it panned out 19 bushels, which makes G65 bushels. As to the immense quantity of greens Friend Boyd said they were not visible January 1, 1891. ^ 'a I supp. ?e those "razor hogs consumed them afierhir Lastly, it seems quite that all the censnre that ha: io-a f.siped upon Jones comes from cr i of the County, that portion IS:;: 7;bich Friend Boyd writes.

O'ctocii i nurJ-G&y evening, Fcburary 11, lie would most certainly have concluded that something was "going to happen." He would have judged, moreover, that the j something must have concerned some one very popular in Ridgewar. IJ is j surmises were correct, for something j was about to happen. So he takes a j ! seat determined to await the happening. While he waits he surveys the scene I before him, and this,in part, is what bc sees: xue cuuixn u nasiui-wmcij decoiated with evergreens. Immediately in front of the altar is a l>3'iiV;iful arch of cedars, prepared t-r Mrs. Dr. Linder, and hanging the arch is a wedding bell, which gives the stranger a hint as to what it is that is going to happen. The above mentioned arch is substantially supported by two piilarsof evergreen?. Ou the wall behind the pulpit, wrought in cedar, is the quotation "Till death us d? part," and a monogram It. L. in '?

Between these two pillars a little sate istastel'nlly swung. _-j Oar strainer liow notices that the} church begins to fill with people till I the three rows of sea.s are all accupied. Then a stir is heard at the door, and Mrs. \V. M. Iiodk begins tu play Hpon the organ, "My Wedding March." The stranger u? longer has any donbt as to what is going to take place, when he sees a bridal party enter the church. The bridesmaids proceed up the left isle and tlio groomsmen up the right, till they meet at the aitar when :hey cross over and occupy the opposite sides of the church, the bridesmaids I on the right and the groomsmen on tho ielt. The attendants were as follows: Rev. D. T. Bradshaw, of Tennessee, best man, with Miss Gertrude Moore maid of honor; Mr. Jno. D. Palmer with'Miss Daisy Ruff, of Hock Ilill; Mr. J. 13. Boyd, with Miss Eunice Rosborough, of Albion; Mr. Leon Rosborough, of Albion, with Miss Janie Kennedy; and Mr. J. A. Rosborough, of Kershaw, with Miss Mattie Oatcs,ofBlackstock. Immediately behind the attendants came two little girls, Marie Me ore and Gussie Ilogan. Tho bride, Miss Annie Lauhon, entered leaning upon the arm of Miv A. F. Ruff, while the groom, Mr. tl. T naon T?rtcVinrr>nfrli pufprerl with AiVk.'WV* vugijj - . ? ?his best man, Mr. D. T. Bradshaw. The party proceeded to tlie alter where the Kev. W. M. Hook awaited them. The two little girls immediately preceding the bride and groom opened the pl'etty gate mentioned, and the contracting parties entered. Then, iu the beautiful ceremony of the Methodist Church, the Rev. Mr. Hook united in the holy bonds of marriage Miss Annie Laurie Lauhon and Mr. G. Logan Rosborough, the ceremony being performed with a ring. The bride was tastefully attired in white alpaca, while the bridesmaids t >"> 01-1 /J were UXUSSCVlj t,?w ail unu in white. After the ceremony the bridal pai ty proceeded to the residence of Mr. W\ IT. ltuff, where Mr. and Mrs. Ruff had prepared for them an elegant reception. During the reception, which was v ery much enjoyed by all, the Ridgewav Cornet Band henored the party with amuch appreciated seranade.! The bridal presents were many and j handsome, and attested the "great popularity of both bride and groom. Among the visitors present were Miss Lever, of Richland, Mr. C. G. Hoffman, Mrs. R. M.

Williams and Jackson, proceeded on my journey to Tryon City, N.C.,wheie I partook of the hospii talitr of Mr. F. F. Ballin^or. There I met a former resident of your town, a Mr. KaufmaD, a clothiug merchant, but now retired a?d living at Trvon. This gentleman made mauv pleasant remarks and enquiries about bis former friends and acquaintances in Fairfield. Tryon ia quite a prosperous little summer resort in Polk County, N. C., and is noted for its wealth and refinement. Several millionaires reside here. Gen. Donbbday and a Mr. Godshaw, of Louisville, Ivy., are among the most prominent. I had the pleasure of meetiug several of the fair sex and if not too personal will montinn t> ><* nnm^s r>f Tjillv Wil cox, a superb equestrienne. Miss Lilly certainly knows how to mauage her horse, Frank. After leaving Tryon I stopped in | Asheville, the "City in the Sky." There wealth aboawds, "magnificent hotels, residences," &c. I visited Kennelworth Inn, Battery Park, Oaks, and other noted hotels, but only as a sight-seer. "My uncle" had recently "caved" and $6 per day did not seem very tempting to me. The scenery it grand, and especially from battery rarK overlooking tne rapn French Broad, and surrounding mountains, dotted here and there with handsome residences of model architecture. This scene would rfinind one (if sndw-clad) of the Highland of Schotland, or Alps of Switzerland. The Vanderbilt estate is worthy ef meution and is the chief resort with Ashevillians. "Cousin George" is very popular and entertaining mosi j lavishly. I was invited to dine wiih I him on New Year, but by one ?1' Ids subordinates, he being absent at the time. I saw a lo^ cabin said ts be typical of Bill Nye's summei home atSkyland. I called to see hiia but he hail left instructions to the seivaui to say he "was not in." The Vanderbik palacs will novel that of any other in the South. Ills tennis caurt alone coil | 5G0.000. With a drive of 50 miles on j a gravel road is something unknown to the characteristic Southern planter. Thence from Asheville over the famous route around Round Knob to Salisbury?the m?st of this being traversed by night?1 did not see mucii of the grand scenery so much spoken ?f br the Northern tourist. Greensboro, High Point and Charlotte were my next points. These towns hare their many advantagos, cotton and tobacco factories and othrr liinilar industries. I also visited Blacksberg and enjoyed the kind hospitality of my old Fairfield friend Mr. L. M. Holland. Thence to Ilock liiil, where I met my old beyhood friend Mr. J. H. Milling and \V. B. IliiiKiiton. After remaining aver night I leit for Wocdward. Thsre I spout a lew days with Messrs. J. M. und J. F. Coleman. While there I attended a sociable at the residence ul Muj. Thos. Brice, and met several of i lie angelic beings usually worshipped by the lords of creation. Becoming tiro.Ary of good things and longing for rest departed for Buckhead, a wiser and 1 trust abetter man. Another political campaign is near at hand, and I fear the chronic office seeker <r?n't get much encouragement, fur the farmers have come to the conclusion (by bitter experience) that polices ain't what they thought, and hare thrown off their coats for work to make corn and bacon at home. The farmers don't need politics in their business. We want peace, quietude, honest government and white supremacy, that's all. Wc can't make a decent support running around t? hear spcechos from flatant deaago?:ue3 and narrow-minded selfrighteous Pharisics. Brother farmer"?, let us cast our vote for the man of our cheicc regardless of ostracism, no matter what his name= Let us change the word '-nies"; to right them, we'iil sret risrbt. We waut to be called coru and bacon "ites.'" We don't want to purchase combs, picture frames, and joggling beards at the expense of our neighbors. Business is dull at this season, but when work thoroughly brgiris I think trade will look up. With another year like last the ag icultural and mercbandiseing business would come to a complete crisis, but with a production of 4 500,000 bales of cottou and an amply supply of corn, prosperity will look onr way. With another word of condemnation to politics I will close. x. v. Dawkins, S. C. Feb. 12. uuurautcru vuic.
