: - v . '. , -> ' i ' v> * /'V* The Press and Eanner By HUGH WILSON. Wednesday, June 25, 1890. "Let It be Instilled into the Hearts of Your Children that the Liberty of the Press is the Palladium of all Your Rights." / - - .. Isn't it Cheeky ? Isn't it cheeky in Captain Tillmau to blame the present administration with extravagance, and with a failure to take the census, when the farmers?or his followers today? elected a mnjorltyof tlif General Assembly, who voted away the people's money in one instance, and in the other act, refused to vote for the reapportionment of representatives? Without the votes of at least some of the farmers, the excessive appropriation to the .South Carolina University couia noi uu?c been mnde. Without the aid of the country farmers, or their representatives, Charleston could not have defeated the re-apportionment' whereby she still holds about five scats in the Legislature which Justly belong to the country districts. Isn't it also cheeky for Captain Tillman, by inference at least, to charge the adminlstralion wJth extravagance, because the representatives oI his economic measures voted away the money? If Captain Tillman's followers in former years were "bamboozled and debauched" as be alleges, doesn't it furnish the best reason in the world why he should not be entrusted with the choosing of the Legislators? Isn't it strange that Captain Tillman should manifest more spite and hatred toward the Department of Agriculture, than any other Department of the Government? We presume that even Captain Tillman would not deny that the Department of Agriculture has done ten times as much for the farmers as any other branch of the Government. Let Mr. Tillman ridicule the management of the Department as he will, and let him complain of extravagance to his heart's content, yet w5\ think he will notdecy that the Department over which A. 1\ Butler presides has saved the farmers ten times as much as it has cost either the State or the individuals who received its benefits. Before the organization of that Department which gives a general super? -- ?vominotinn of the fertilizers, is it V1MUI1 Ui QAnut<M?.?.v. ? not a fact that worthless guanos were sold to our people? Is It not a fact that tons of this fertilizers were sold at bigh prices that were not worth the freight on them? Then why should Captain Tillman attempt to cast odium on the Department that has saved the farmers so much? Can anybody tell why Captain Tillman seeks to lay the blame on the State officers, because of the short-comings of bis friends in the Legislature? The arguments which he now directs against the Government only furnish good reasons why the erring members of the General Assembly should not be re-elected, In the hope perhaps that his followers, in the coufusion which he makes, may find some reason to lay tbe blame on the competitors for tbe very office forwhich he is striving. Let the Giving of UlftM Cense. While we believe our people are Incorruptible, and while we believe none of our candidates would buy their way to official station, yet there is one practice that is too comi mon in other counties, which we hope never to sec tolerated in this county. Wo refer to the habit of making subscriptions of money to churches In which the candidate can have no other Interest than the number ol votes which be may receive Id consideration 01 uie . gift. The attempted wholesale buying of the votes of membersof the churches needs no comment from us. Of course, when honorable christian people see that any candidate has attempted to bribe them or buy tflelr votes, the act Is enough to excite their righteous indignation, and honest voters should set their faces against the inauguration of a system which can but be corrupting to the public morals. Another evil which has prevailed to some extent is that of candidates lending voters small sums of money during the campaign. Fifty cents or one dollar lent to a voter during the campaign is significant, and the candidate who makes himself liable to the imputation of trying to corrupt the voter, should Buffer for his indiscretion. In all kindness, we put candidates tlce. Tbejv need not be surpdsal^Ttlley ar* publicly asked qtll'Hllons ltkethcse : l. Have vou treated or in any will used liquor to promote your election t 2. Have you lent small sums of money to different voters ? 3. Have you by subscriptions to churches, or otherwise, attempted to buy the votes of any community of people ? As a matter of fact, the use of money In elections should cease. The practice of glv. _ lng money Is not only corrupting of the public morals, but it gives the rich an undue and unfair advantage of a poor competitor, who may be Just as good and just as competent, but who Is unable to pay bis way Into office. We want no Yankee methods of getting olflce, and we trust that every man who uses money In the campaign, may be taught the error of his way. Let the people look with suspicion on any candidate who gives or lends money during the campaign. When a man's name appears in the newspapers as a candidate for office, then the giving ? of gifts should stop until after the election An honest constituency should demand this. la Mr. Tillman In Earnest About the Primary Election ? It is whispered in the air that Mr. Tillman does not desire a primary election to nominate delegates to the stale Convention, and it is also whispered that his followers are instructed to send delegates to the State Convention?soon to be called?who are opposed to the primary for this year. The idea being to put Mr. Tillman and his followers into office by the Convention plan this year, and then adopt the primary plan for future elections or nominations. We do not state this as by authority, but give it as idle talk, for what it is worth. We are not within the veil, and consequently may not know the desires and aims of the Tillman faction, but when we know that that faction in this county voted solidly against the primary election last Sale Day, and when it is clear to us that Mr. Tillman's strength in this county is more apparent than real, we are forced to believe that the Tillman faction will defoat the primary election this yearwhatever they may do in the future. Kelieving, as we do, that the result of a pri?>-? n?if oloAllAn I r* title nnnnlv umn IH hn dluou. troiis to the Tillman faction, and having their! recent vote ou the primary in view, we are bound to believe that the Influence of that faction will be given agaiust giving the people a full, fair and free expression ol their individual preference at the ballot box. Let our friend, the Laureiisville Herald, speak out on this matter. Wo have no more right to speak on the objects and alms of the Tillman faction, as to the primary election, than we had to talk of the nominee for the second place on the Tillman ticket, and the above remarks may be wide of the mark. We cannot believe an aggressive political party will willingly give up anything of their power, and for this reason we believe they will stick to the Convention plan for this year, notwithstanding Mr. Tillman's protestations of anxiety for the adoption of the primary plan. He no doubt thinks any plan good enough two years hence?and means to have that plan then, if he can use the much despised old plans for present gain. Iu conversation with some of the leaders of that faction, we learn that they favor a State primary, but are not in favor of having a couuty primary. iL* , ., * Peculiarity of this i'aiupui^ii. J (.'apt. li. It. Tillman in his political utter ances would charge the State officers with extravagance, and lie makes the sweeping charge that his followers?the farmers?In the Legsij! lature have been "bamboozled or debauched.' j The strange part of this proceeding is that, the present State otticers should themselves! go on the defensive in a matter of which they ' were no more responsible thau was Captuiu ( Til I mun. . j The present State officers never had?and could not have had?anything to do with the defeat of the re-apportionment measure. That was a matter entirely with the Representatives in the General Assembly, and it has been a notorious fact that the farmers have hail a majority in the law-making body of the State. Whatever opinions the State officers may have held personally, they had no more power to influence Legislation than did any other citizen. While we think the re-apportlonment should have been made' and while we also think that the refusal to make appropriation for the work Is inexcusable and indefensible, yet the State offieers had nothing to do with it. Mr. Tillman and his economic crowd are to blame. But the economic Legislators settled the question by agreeing to make the apportionment by the United States census, and having Uieuihei vet* fttrtucu uiciiucobiuu uj uivt. ??. . votes, they have no right now to throw the blame on others, and charge the opponents of Mr. Tillman with the very sins of which they themselves are guilty. The excessive appropriation for the.South Carolina University was the act of the Legislature, a majority of whom were for "economy and reform." But Mr. Tillman would charge the blame to the Slate officers, instead of to his own farmer friends who have bad a majority In the Legislature for many years. Of course everybody knows that the appropriation for the University is at least twice as much as it ought to be, but Mr. Tillman's economical farmers did it. He ought not now seek t? charge It to General Bonliam, Col. Rice, Gen. Verner, Gen. Earle, Governor Richardson, and other State officers. Mr. Tillman would seem, too, to divert attention from the fact, that no State officer has spent a dollar which nis iarmer ineuus uuu not appropriated. It is singular, too, that his followers should not resent the accusation tbat they were ''debauched." What's the Matter With Jutl^e Hud. Hon ? Isn't it about time somebody was taking out an injunction, restraining Judge Hudson from making his usual harangue on the Jury system ? Judge Hudson was elected to oflice to administer the law, and not to occupy the time of the Court In expressing his own cranky notions as to the propriety of hanging a prisoner on a popular vote of the jury. Let him see that the juries are honestly drawn, in public, as they are at Abbeville, and he will do the Stale a service, but if Judge Hudson should be able to hang prisoners on a vote of the majority of the Jurors, unpopular accused persons would have no possible chance for life. T ' >*.1 -l. ~r .?? 1,^1,linn n nr'mnrv JUbb UUJK U1 UJC lUl'tt ui tiuiuiujj <? j election to find out whether a prisoner should be baDged ! We cannot think Judge Hudson has ever thought of the enormity of the crime that would be inflicted against Justice in South Carolina, if his notions of hanging a prisoner on his popularity or unpopularity should prevail. The same rule governs In the United States Court as obtains in the State Courts. If then, Judge Hudson's idea could prevail, every Democratic prisoner would bo convicted In the United States Court, by Radical jurors, and If the negroes and radicals should conclude to take charge of this Government one half of the Democratic party would soon land in the Albany penitentiary, and the remainder would be scared to death. We really think that a writ should be taken out to Inquire into the mental condition of any good Democrat who would bring about sucn a metnou lor cony iciing ms Democratic brethren of political offences. May the good Lord deliver us from the suare which Judge Hudson Is seeking to set for us. The Noise at Political Meetiticjif The number of claquers atar>tt\jtf? meeting affords very little InsigjjJt^Sto the real sentlthe greiU^fnp.ss of people who sit Qg^^^nd 6^tfr*lno expressslon indicative of ^HM^ftday at our pub'ic meeting, a very of the audience made the i^^^^^^fc-esume fifteen men on either side n^^^^^Vnths of the demonstration. The fao^^^^Vthe noise so long came from the sam^^^Ha that It became monotomous. Ther^^^n few men here who, we believe, were^^^Bet five minutes at any one time, whilel^^Rs five hundred remained perfectly sile^H^m beginning to ending. WhlleWie Tlllmanltes are thoroughly organized.ld may be able to hold their men together i^tll the end of the campaign, yet we do not believe that Mr. Tillman would receive a majority vote in.a primary election in August. The action of the Tlllmanltes in Hampton last week in electing delegates to the State Convention Is proof enough to us that they had not faith in their power to hold together after the issues had been publicly discussed. And it is believed that the Tillman faction in Abbeville county propose to imitate the example of Hampton county next Sale Day. A Better Feeling; Prevails. As well as we can understand, both parties are more tolerant than they were Bometime 1 back. The people begin to realize that there \ is not enough in the political issues to cause neighbors and friends to fall out, and each side seems more disposed to respect the senti-. ments of the other. In any event, a Democrat will be elected Governor, and the other ottlces will be tilled with Democrats. Soeaklnc for the Press and Banner, we think we have the best of reasons for preferring another than Captain Tillman, but if he receives the nomination we expect to support him. We don't expect to fall out with any- , body because of difference of opinion. If a majority want Captain Tillman, then the 1 minority ought to support him. But in saying this, we want the nomination to be fairly made. Let neither side take advantage of the other. The CeiiMiiM. It is highly important that a correct census betaken. Our representation in the General Assembly of the State, and In Congress will be regulated according to the recorded population. There is no doubt that Charleston will see to it that everybody within her corporate limits will be coutUed. If Charleston counts everybody, and the country Districts count only a small per cent, of their population, that city will still hold more seats in the General Assembly than the city Is entitled to. If, therefore, anybody has been missed, let him not fail to report the fact to the proper census taker. It is a patriotic duty to see that you are counted. The time expires on the , Inst dav of June. Attend to the matter at I once. 1 Tillioan Said One Good Tiling. When Captain Tillman was at the Abbeville meeting he said that he would see that the ottlcial head should come off of every < Sheriff who allowed his prisoner to be lynched. No seutiment was uttered cn that day to i' which we would say a more hearty amen. If j j the Sheriffs knew that they would forfeit their offices for a failure to protect their defenceless prisoners, they would not so readily | yield to the demand of a lawless m?>b, and if! the members of the aforesaid lawless mob 2 knew that their friend, the Sheriff, would suf- J fer, they would be less anxious to hang a poor t creature whose hands were tied. t ' ' ' > Will (ho Executive Committee LiMten to tlio People? It seems that there is a very general desire on the part of the people to have the primary | election for State officers. The quest ion now < is, will the Executive Committee take the preliminary steps looking to that result? We think that something should be done about the matter. The primary election lor State officers must come sooner or later, and the soouprour trusted leaders recognize the fact, the better for all concerned. Thousands of men in this Slate are perfectly willing to vote for tlie choice of the majority? although the choice may not be their favorite candidate. Hut there are thousands ( who do not like to vote for one who may get the nomination from a convention which they may think does not represent the wish j of the majority. Inquest*. Our Coronerand Trial Justices have done a good business in sitting on dead bodies tilts Spring, and it seems that the hot weather has no perceptible etlect in decreasing the deadly work of the knife and pistol. We are beginning to think that there ! should be a uniform penalty for.kllling peo- , pie, without tlie benefit of the plea of self-defence. Suppose, for lustaiice, we fix the penalty at $25 or one month's imprisonment, for j a plain killing In complicated cases of kill- , irig in self-defence, where the slayer told the slain to stand back, thrco or more times, make the penalty $10,000, or ton years Imprisonment at hard labor. This thingof killing men in self-defence ought to be stopped, or let j the guilty man suffer. Sij !s enough for a plain case of killing without provocation. j Wood Factory. The wood factory subscribers have raised ' about 57,030 or S8,000, and seek to make the i capital stock $10,000. The great trouble with us is to get a suitable mechanic to take control of it. If proper advertisement was made it is possible that a suitable man could be had. There are plenty of excellent young mechanics who would fill i the bill, if we only kpew where to find them. Aiiti-Tillmnn Clubs. As the Democratic party seems to be dlvid ed, and as the Tillman faction propose to uiKe charge of the whole party, would It not be well for tho Autl-Tillman men to organize ' clubs of their own ? As at present organized the Anti-Tillman men seem to be used only to increase the Tillman majorities. Henrty Endorsement of tlic Prens and Banner. We are in receipt of the following anonymous curd, which we present: June 18, ISM. Long live the Press and Banner to tight for the cause of prohibition, which it has so nobly espoused. May it be rewarded by seeing not only the couuty. but the grand old State delivered from the curse of Intemperance. It. HONEA PATH HIEROGLYPHICS. The Crane and the Doctor Hntli House Liih u Tennis Tillman Diet? Visitor* and <?uests?Xntes 011 l'eruonail Mutters. Honka Path, S. C.( June 23,1889. We would like to hear some other subject besides Tillman. It has grown monotonous. The new county is still the most important subject discussed with us at. present. Parties are beginning to pass through here t'lilUULU IU IKV iiivw.w.1... . Deputy Sheriff Green, of Anderson, was here last week looking up jurors. W. F. Clinkscales overlook with a load of shot a crane at Shirley's pond, that measured six feet across its wings. Young Dr. Bower thinking this would be a good patient to begin his practice on, proceeded to admin Ister to its wounds, when the crane gently reached out its bill and placed it against the young Doctor's face with too much force for comfort. We never heard what became of the patient. Mr. A. J. Sproles, of Greenwood, has been covering a piazza for Dr. T. A. Hudgeus. Quite a number boarded tho train for An- 4 derson on the Tillman occasion. G. M. Greer had quite a sick mule jj^tWyor so ago. He is on the sick list novMflmself. Miss Ella Kay has returned .{ri>m Peidmont, where she has been engage,* |n dre^s making. The coshimrs for Ujg-hr?vu tennis club has arrived. Theyjiu?qulte"showy."

It was a mistake about the party: they came hack as they went ?on foot; they don't say much about the time they hnd. Tlllmau has become the common diet here ' of late. We don't proprose to worry the appetite of the reader more than to say, we can't see him as some doen. The boys have formed a joint stock company fnr tho tiiimnsn <if hiilldinir a batli house. Tliey made a box below the first pond run, the water to it through a trough at a cost ol five dollars. They don't seem to be able to build a house over It, we suggest the company be incorporated. Miss Maggie Brannen, of Columbia, is visiting Mrs. T. H. Brock. l'rol. Henry Newton arrived back to his old home last Friday. The Prolessor will teach a singing class here the last of July and the , first of August. Dr. Harris and wife, ofBelton, worshipped with the Presbyterians last Sabbath. L. S. Bigby. of Donalds, s^ent Sabbath evening here. We will only mention his visits occasionally. Some of the young men from here attended preaching at Due \V?-st Sabbath. Miss Jessie Hill, of Abbeville, is visiting her cousins the Misses Erwins. The bridge at Erwin's Mills will soon bo let out for repairs. A new covered bridge will be built across Broadmouth creek, a mile this 1 side of the rlyer. B. D. C. j WILL COL. GARY COME DOWN ? A Report that lie Is Pledget! to He- ] lire 11 n i-arincr can uo J'ounti. Co). Eugene B. Gary, of Abbeville, candl- i date on the Tillman ticket for Lieutenant < Governor was undecided at the opening of i the State campaign whether he would be a j candidate for Attorney General or Lieutenant Governor. A long caucus was held in room i (Wat the Mansion House, on the night before j the campaign meeting here, to decide on Mr. Gary's case. Capt. G. W. Shell and a goodly i number of Tlllmanltes were present. Re- , porters who called, except the Charleston j World men, were iniormed that it was a kind ? of social gathering and that Mr. Gary'6 case was Incidentally to be discussed, and the j opinions of the leadlngTlllmanltes obtained. < As everybody knows, Mr. Gary came out < next day for Lieutenant Governor, leaving Uol. Y.J. Pope without an opponent on the | same ticket for Attorney General. , The presence of so many lawyers 011 Cap- , tain Tillman's ticket 1ms rather nettled some of the most active Tlllmanltes. This fact ap- , peared to most of those present In the caucus, 1 and It Is said on the best of authority that a < pledge was then secured from Mr. Gary that If a farmer suited to the tastes of tho Till- ] manites came out Lieutenant Governor, he j was to step down and out, and, it is supposed, takes his chances at something else. I This piece of information came straight and j was brought out by taunts regarding lawyers 011 Captain Tillman's ticket. As no genuine j farmer has announced himself for Lieutenant 1 Governor, It is to be supposed that Mr. Gary will have the field to himself. It would be a i hard blow on his devotion to the cause to 1 have to listen to the dictates of others and 1 seek oiner uonors arter maraing me ugm ( during the hottest of the campaign.?Greenville Xc?i>s.

I Why, Mr. Editor, should we be no much divided and display so much feeling In political discussions? It will not do to say, there is no crimination and recrimination, for it is patent . to all. TaUcour own dear county and what is 1 the fact? A display ol feeling is the order of the day, and political proscription Is advised on all hands. Why shoulda good man be sacrificed because he favors Mr. Tillman or be- 1 cause lie does not support him ? It Is wrong In political principle to draw the line in tills way upon local and county affaire. If we say 1 we will support no man for ollice because he 1 will vote or will not vote for a particular candidate, we .then and there deny the right of 1 independent UlOUgin, ?IIU uiiiiuu, miu ua-.-ii; HOMO, the result will be disastrous. If a Irlcnd 1 say to ii friend, I will not support you because ' you will not vote for a particular man, a high- 1 cr principle is violated?that of friendship? < and it may well he doubted If such a one will ' bo true at I he critical point. Loyalty, like 1 truth, is a unit and cunnot be violated in one ' I particular without damage to the individual ! who does it. Observe our county aft'alrs and politics, it i is attempted by some to draw the lines he- J twecu'Tillman and antl-Tillman, and whilst 1 tills is true on both sides to some extent it is 1 especially so with those who favor Mr. Till- < man, as will be seen by resolutions and sug- ' gestlons published in the papers from week 1 to week. This is wrong. l,et us illustrate. 1 Ilero is a man who desires to run for the Leg- 1 Islature, and it is known that he is a good, , able, conservative man, and would do credit to his constituency. He announces that lie can not support Mr. Tillman, but that there ' are some things lie does endorse, lhat to him seem right, and for that reason he will give them his support, hut when measures come 1 up for discussion and decision that, he will act ' upon them according to his own convictions, 1 whether this one favors them or not. should ' such a man he voted against simply because lie takes tills stand? [ Why, If all thought alike it would not he ' long before there would be a worse division ' and split. Truth Is reached more nearly by < ....inion mill the hest eourse In ' U1VUI3IIJ ?>J v|-. - - -pursue is to vote for men who arc.' good and < capable and the ben I of whose mind and lire leads to I lie condition thai they would do right as llicy conceived it. In the long run this course will result In the most good. When men are made machines of in political matters,any body will do as a representative, and the more ready to yield obedience to another the better. Individual thought and action is the saleguanl of all that Is best in every sphere, and when tempered by that charity which recognizes the rights 01 others it is ten-fold more to be inculcated than thecoursej which leads to a general fusion and combination of minds. Let us, therefore, net wisely ! and each for the other, in so far as an enlarged j selll>hncss may dictate, and it will be found that such a course forms the true combination -I'liiiosopiij and Statesmanship.

Quite a number of visitors attended the coin iiieticemciit. Miss McMillan, of Marion county, has been visit;iii' Miss Leona Ubike.

Misses Hcbacca and Lucy Moore, oi Abbeville, were the guests of the Misses Hill cornmencetnen t week. .Messrs. itobt YVardlaw and .-Vinos Real), of Augusta, huvp been on a visit to Mr. John Oldham. Jr. They have returned to their home in Augusta. The Greenwood Democratic Olub will meet promptly at 3 p. m., Saturday. A telegram was received here this morning by the family announcing the death of Dump langnri, yesieruay ai i-rcnso, uaiiiornui. ne was a son of Dr. M. C. Tut/gart. We aro Indeed sorry that we are denied the pleasure of attending tlie Due West commencement. for we look back to lust year with happy thoughts and kind remembrances to our distinguished and affable friend It. S. G., and his thorough kindness. "I was a stranger and lie took me in." Shortly afterwards I was the same stranger and she took me In. Due West is a hallowed place, and we wish all who attend its commencements and partake of the hapitalily of its people a joyous time. Miss Annie Hai tzog is home from Bamberg. Mrs. Hennet Reynolds returned from Cleve land Springs last. Friday. Mr. Reynolds who has been quite sick and had gone lor recuperation. It. Is our glad pleasure to report his rapid Improvement, and we liope to see him with us soon in tils usual health. Quite a number of students and visitors of the Greenville colleges passed down Friday en route for home. A Jolly crowd they were. Misses Mluuie and Jennie Chiles spent commencement week with Misses Anua and Besde Hill. Messrs. W. R. Bullock and Robt. Mabry, of Abbeville, came down to attend the reception of the Female College Wednesday night last. Again the deadly "bull dog" pistol and Rogers knife has been at its deadly work. A crowd of rampant and over Joyous negroes boarded the train here last week to go to 'Gusty" and have a broad- gauged time generally. As is usual with the colored bucks who think that enjoyment consist in bullying around and trying to scare the more timid ones and shooting their pistols oil In mid air, thinking to atlrlght the adversary, and flourishing knives, and numerous outbursts and demonstrations of outlawry. Stewart Franklin, one ot the said party, who ran a pool table and restaurant on a back street, became involved In a "fuss" on the train near McC'ormick. Stuart's "foe was unworthy of his steel" and took divers advantages and sundry opportunities, in fact got the "bulge" on .Mr. Krankiln, and with his pocket "bulldog" oorcu !l mrgu HTCguiur nuiu niruuKii luc purson of Mr. Franklin, thereby causing a general disorder in his physical economy, so much so that in about lmlf hour Mr. Franklin's soul winged its flight to another world. We leave the reader to infer which it was, as we have heard nothing from blm officially since, we are totally unprepared to say, which one it was. His body was brought home at this place and thelnevitnbie Coroner uml lils jury proceeded forthwith to sit on the dead body ot snid Mr. Franklin. The verdicl was, the said Stuart Franklin eaine to his death, (or death came to him,) we have forgotten the exact words, by a pistol bail from a pistol held by unknown parties. We have only a word or so to say in regard to the lawless practice of the carrying of concealed weapons. It has actually gotten to the point here, that a man and his family are In constanUlangef'ot "being shot. Every negro that efin shove a spade or wield a pick on the railroad, and every negro ooy and man that can scrape up S1.25 Is in possession of one of those festive, and dangerous little old pistols. The town fathers have offered a reward of $5 to any person who will report any one shooting on the streets and incorporate limits, with evidence to convict. We say that the State authorities should take vigorous and strenuous efforts to suppress this deadly habit. No man ever carried a pistol habitually without some murderous intentions, and it is highly dangerous now in this community to be on the streets after dark. We are glad tolcarn that Mr.Joel S. Bailey's health is Improving at Glenn Springs. Mrs. Bailey wilt leave in a few days to join liirn. M.B.Dickson has sold out his mercantile business at this place to Mr. Cameron, who has been for sometime with the laroous house of liu tier Bros., ol New York. Mr. Cameron hns taken charge and we welcome him as a citizen of Greenwood and hope has provided himself with a registration ticket and Is prepared to do some tall voting. Miss I.lla LItes who, who attended the spring session 01 the Femaie College at this place, left last Friday for a visit to Due West and thence to her home In Florida. Miss Mattle Jordan, of Florida, attended commencement here, and was the guest of M:J. J. W. Litcs and family. Mr. Will Simmons his returned to his home in Hodges.

Miss Dcssie NVhelston, who has been spending the spring Willi relatives In this place left Tuesday to attend Due West Commencement and thence to her home in Florida. Miss Whelston is au accomplished and attractive young lady, and made hosts of friends here. Miss Blake, of Ninety-Six, is visiting Miss Hattie Reynolds. Miss Eflie Brabham is visiting friends in Augusta. MlssSudie Self is oft' to Glenn Springs. Mr. H. J. McKellar and his sister Miss Bessie went down to Augusta one day last week to sec some of the attractions of the encampment, at that place. W. T. Branch was In town one day last week, and had the town roaring and splitting their sides with laughter at his campaign jokes. When you see him, get him to tell you About the follow who wauled to take the train and got lett. Polities is hot here and the Tillman campaign is the chief subject. Daily papers are eagerly sought and read, and every body more or less are politicians. Messrs. Walter L. Miller and W. C. McGowiin attend Coinniencement here last Wednesday. Commencement visitors are all returning home and leaves us melancholy and wishing for a something we know not what. One of the! visiting young ladies?we will call no uamcB as we do not like to be personal?left us standing at the depot gazing, longingly ifier the train as it rolled oft. We say longingly because we gaz d a long time and was ? rli.it u>? so wrnppca in our Knifing were not aware that our soul was in our eyes iiiul our hut hml hlown <>trand the hot scorching sun was tanning, and making freckles on said soul for it. was actually sticking out, as Inkerssay.

' , Encouraging Outlook Tor the Agri* cultural mid Slock Interests of tlic Connty. At tliis time we seem to be on the eve of a damaging drouth. While thorn are Rome crops that are not above the average, yet as a whole, the crops of tills county were never more promising. The cotton crop was never moreluxunantor more forward In growth at this season. Ordinarily cotton blooms, on the fourth of July, are considered early, but this year tho stalk Is largo and the blooms are very early. Among other good tnrmers In this county who have cotton blooms, we would mention Mr. J. H. Latimer and Mr. Nicholas Schram, both of whom hrni cotton blooms as early as the 20th Instant, being at least two weeks earlier than usual. Corn never looked better at this time, and with seasonable showers for the next few weeks, a large crop will be made. The wheat crop was a mere trifle.and the area sown has done very little good In a majority of Instance?. The oaf crop has been from exceedingly poor to first class, though the sown area was not as Iar?e as In iormer years. The pasture grass has been as good as possible. As a result stock of all kinds that have had access to pasture lands, are fat and sleek, and droves of cattle make glad tho heart or many owners. During the last Winter a greater quantity or wire fenclnp was sold than ever before during a single Winter, and this fact 1b the best indication of the drift of the farmer's mind. Even now car loads of wire are being received by our merchants, who arc distributing It out all over the county. Messrs. P. Rosenberg &. Co. received a enr load of barbed wire one day last week, and already a large per cent, of it has been sold. Other merchants are selling it In like manner. The profit In stock-raising hus been so great, and the experiment having proved universally satisfactory, we expect to see thousands of acres added to our pasture lands within the j next, few months. This people own great stretches of field and forest which they are v unable 10 cultivate, and as every acre under I fence returns a money value In cattle and 1 stock, it may reasonably be expected that stool: raising In this county will receive much more attention than ever before. There has been u greater demand for gooil lacks this spring than we have ever known. This, too, speaks well for the prospective thrift and prosperity of this people.
