"The tangled web we weave When we practice to deceive." W. K. Hill, tiie editor of the Westmoreland, Kansas, Record, round that In the South It is claimed that the soldier resolution is not a part of the St. Louis conference platform, and that no pnrty denounces the pensioning of union soldiers more bitterly than does llie alliance, in miiiiurui, uuuc, un..?uM.h to the statement of alliance men, are ready to do as much lor the soldier as they. So Kditor Hill used a little strategy, which is thus described In the issue of the Recorder for May 12th : the third party trick exposed. "We concluded that we would like to know what Col. L. L. I'olk had to say on this question. A letter, dated Goldsboro, North Carolina, written to Colonel Polk, asking him whether the resolution favoring making the pay of Union soldiers received during the war equal to gold was a part of the St. Louis conference platform. Later the post master at Goldsboro was ordered by W. K. Hill to torward Ills mail to this place. Another letter was written from Westmoreland, Kansas, asking Colonel Polk for the same information as the Goldsboro letter. The colonel answered the first letter and reterred the second to Doctor McLallin, editor of the Topeka Advocate. Here are both letters in full, showing how the socalled reformers work the soldier racket in the South and the North : tiik southern edition* ok tiie st. louis tii1rd party platform. "Washington, D. C.. April .j, 18U2. "Mr. Will T. Hill, Goldsboro. N. C: "My Dear Sir and Bro:?Replying to yours nf the 21st ult, I beg to assure you that there is no cIhusr In our plutforrn for pensioning Union soldiers. It never has been there. It Isnotone of our demands. Leading democratic papers all over the country acknowledge their tnabililiy to meet our Issues when they have to resort to villainous and willful miMrptircKPntation and lvlne. To show you to what great lengths they will go In this direction, the Atlanta Journal, a few days ago In a lonu editorial, charged directly and absolutely that the pension clauseand woman's <uffrage clause were both in our platform. Jn their part it seems thai the campaign is to be one of evasion, misrepresentation, pertonai abuse and dowurlght lying. If they ;a? afford it, we can. Just simply assert tti eply to these charges that they are lies from jeglnnlg to end." "The desperation of their cause could not ie more fully demonstrated than by the :owardly and unmanly metheds they have tdopted. "But the people are going to be heard. I jray God thut they may have the manliness ind loyally to stand unflinchingly by our principles. Write me and keep me informed is to the situation in your section of the itate. Would have written eariler but for he enormous amount of work In my office. "Yours truly and paternally, "I,. L. Polk. "Presidents. F. A. & I. U." THE NORTH WESTKRN EDITION OF THE ST. LOt:IS THIRD PARTY PLATFORM. "Topkka, Kan.. May 1,18S2. >lr. J. McKeo, Westmoreland. Kan.: "Dear Sir?Your letter of April 27, 1892, to Colonel Polk. Washington, I). C., has been eferred to me for reply. In answer I will lay, was secretary of the commute* on platorm in the St. Louis convention. The res>lution relating to the payment of the differince between the value of the money in vhich the soldiers were paid and gold was utroduced by a Confederate soldier from fexas, and was unmanimously adopted, ivery southern as well as northern delegate rotlng lor it, Just as it appears in all the reorm papers in ttie country. There Is no mention about this. I acted as secretary luring the whole session of the committee in demands, and know whereof I speak. Yours truly, "S. McLallin." i western editor's comment on the l'akty that faces both ways. The Recorder comments editorially as folows oil them : "The above letters are fair samples of the luplicity lu politics practiced by the so-called eformers. To a supposed North Carolinian, Colonel Polk conwlders that to claim that lensioning union soldiers is one of the denands of the St. Louis conference is 'vlllian>us and willful mlsrepresutatlon and lying.' 'olonel l'olk was chairman of that confer nee, and ought to know what demands were uiopted. In writing to North Carollnn, he :lalms with much energy to know all about i. A uorthern man gets entirely different nformatlon from Dr. S. McLallin, who is nost positive in his assertions, because he (vas secretary of the committee on platform. 70l0nel polk and doctor mclallin's difficult job. "Both f'olonel Polk and Doctor McLallin vill get copies of this article and they can tet together in their Jtatements if they desire. L'he old soldiers, meanwhile, will hold their >reatb, realizing that their luture welfare lepends upon the settling of the question *het her the soldier plank is one of the St. Louis demands." TOWN TALK AT TROY. Troy, S. C., May 30lh, 1S92. Rev. H. T. Sloan preached in the A. R. P. Church last Sunday. Rev. Mr. Carrol preached in the Baptist Church Sunday. Another k'?oJ man Roes to his reward. Mr. tf. Burnett died nt Ills home near this place May the in the (Hi year of his age. His renalns were interred in the cemetery at this ^lace.

Children's duy will be observed in the Methjdistchurch next Sunday. Miss Kiltie Herman spent Friday nlaht md Saturday In Bradley with her sister Mrs. L>r. Youngtiiood.

The Baptists have decided to have their :hlldrei)K day on the 2nd Saturday In June. Miss Mollie Little closed her school last Friday in Kdgefleld couuty. Drs. J M. Kenedy and George Pressly came lome last week from Baltimore, where they lave been attending lectures. Quite a crowd went toHoreb last week.

The closing execlses of our Troy High School will be held lu the Masonic Hall next Friday evening, under the management ol I'rof. Parkinsou assisted by Miss Kittle Herman. We think we are safe in saying they ire the best teachers Troy has ever had and jive better satisfaction. We sincerely hope they both will coine back. Winter seems reluciant to give up her scepter. It Is real cool yet. Our town ought to be protected from mad logs. The next law for our council to pass is a law not allowing them to run at large, unless muzzled. We hope this will soon be lone as it is daugerous now. Nick. The Farmer.

Crowded so close, it sousrht the hluo, t And ever upward it reached and grew. The oak tree stood in Ihe Held, .Beneath It dozed the herds ; It ?nve to the mower a shield. It gave a home to tl?e birds; Sturdy and broad, it guarded the farms With its brawny trunk and knotted arms. Tlie apple trco grew by the wall. Ugly and crooked nnd black ; Hut It knew the ^ard'ner's ciill. Ami the children rode on Its back. It scattered Its blossoms upon thenlr. It covered the ground with fruitage fair. "Now, hey," said the pine, "for tbe wood ! Come, live with the forest band, Our comrades will do you good. And tall and straight you will stand." And he swung his boughs loa witching sound, And flung his cones like coins around. ' Oho!" laughed the sturdy oak ; "The life of the field for me. I weather the lightning-stroke; My branches are broad and free. Grow straiuhtand slim In the wood, if you will Give me the sun and the wind-swept hill." And ilii-apple tree murmured low : "I am neither straight nor strong; Crooked my back doth grow I With bearing my burdens long." And it dropped its fruit as it dropped a tear, And reddened the ground with fragrant cheer. And the Lord of the harvest heard, And he said: "I have use lor all; For the bough that shelters a bird, For the beam that pillars a hall; And grow they tall, or grow they ill, They grow but to wait their Master's will." So a ship of the oak was sent Far over the ocean blue, Aud the pine was the mast that bent As over the waves it flew, Ana uie riiuuy iruu 01 me nppie m:e Was borne to a starving isle of the sea. Now the farmer grows like the oak, And the townsman is proud and tall, And city and tteld are full of folk? But the Lord has need of all. And who will be like the apple tree That fed the starving over the sea? FROM THE ROARING RIVER, Scintillation*! from the City that Crowns the CreatN of Smyrna's Holy II iI1m. Lowndesvllle, S. C., May 28,1892. Last Saturday the Suuday Schools at Anderson passed down our railroad to Bordeaux, where they wenl to picnic. Sunday being the second anniversary of our branch of the Y. Al. U. A., Mr. W. A. Wynne, state Secretary ol that organization, whs with us, and entertained the large crowd gathered in the Methodist Cnurch at 11 a. rn., in quite uu appropriate anu interesting audress. Prof. H. B. Humbert, our president, occupied the chair and discharged his duties very creditably to himself and satisfactorily to all concerned. MIsb Pauline and MI68 Bertie Power of Anderson came dojPti Saturday and spent the day with friends In town. Dr. B. A. Henry went to Elberton Saturday and remained there till Sunday visiting relatives. Mrs. A. J. Speer went to Elbert County Saturday on a visit to her old home. For several mornings the beginning of the week, we had lroat enough in spots to show its blighting effects upon vegetation. From present appearances it would seem as if this is to be a year without a summer. Five months, nearly half, are numbered with the past, and in each one we have had more or less trout. But this is by no means without a precedent. One of our most honored citizens who passed away last year, told this writer that in 1835.1 think it was, it was &o cold on the 20th of J une, he cut wheat all day with a thick woolen Jeans coat on, and that twelve o'clock while the hands were eat ing their dinner In the field, they had to keep up a big dre to keep warm. Mrs. J. A. Hawthorn of Latimer was In town Wednesday. Mrs. J. B. Franks went to Anderson Tuesday, iheu on to Columbia Wednesday to visit friends. Messrs. S. F. Epps, G. L. Baker, and Miss Hattie Black leit Tuesday morning :or Ninety Six, to attend as delegates the session of tbe County Sunday School Conference. Miss Nannie Johnson also started with the party, but when she reached Abbeville she received a telegram stating that her brother, Mr. J. J. Johnson, of Greenville, was at Anderson quite sick, and she went to that place. Rev. and Mrs. J. S. Porter went to Abbeville Tuesday partly lor business, partly tor pleasure, aud returned the next day. Mrs. D. L. Barnes has been for the past week or two visiting the family or Col. J. T. Barnes, at Barnes station. Mrs. J. M. Huckabeo Is now at Mr. J. A. Hawthorn's, her fatner's, near Latimer, for a short time visit. Mrs. W. N. Marchantof Granltevllle Is visiting the family of her father, Dr. J. T. Baskin. In Monterey. Mr. Selgler who had his skull fractured In two places (so said) with an axe In the hands of a darkey about two weeks ago, Is gettiug well, is up and about. Although our town coffers are by no means overflowing, yet as there Is noimmcdlate urgent need for money, our council at a late meeihitr decided because of the hard times not to levy any town tax this yeur. It is beconunlng distressingly dry. We hear of some places In the township where there has not been rain enough to run iu the yard since the 7th of April. During the lost oat sowing season, from October to March, many of our planters anticipating a spring scarcity of horse feed departed from their usual custom of sowing their poorest lands In oats, sowed some of their best lands and highly manured them, and yet will realize but little If any more than half a crop, and the outs on poor unmanured lands are hardly worth cutting. This failure Is by no means general In the township, tor those rains that have fallen have been in spots, and upon the farms so favored tin crops are pretty good. Our planters are however going ahead despite the discouragements, and are getting their crops in fine fix for the rains when they do come. The celebrated north-east Georgia farmer, David Dixon, said that by riding over a country In the spring he could always tell tth#re thft ilrv streaks would be later. Thev would be where the lands were poorly prepared, hut this writer does not think that test would hold good tills titne, as. If he is any judge, the lands were much better prepared this year tban for several preceding years. His asserslon might and would hold good over a large area, but one farm well prepared could not be blessed that way, and an adjoiniug one poorly prepared, burn up. Troupe. >o(c? From the Nation. Nation, S. (J., May 28,1802. The crops in this section are beginning to suffer for rain. Mr. F. \V. Wright reports a terrific hall storm in theShiloh section on last Sunday afternoon. Some of our early risers report Irost on last Tuesday morning. Mr. D. K.Uooley passed through thIs section on last Monday. If you are a member of the Farmers Alliance, call on Mr. J. A.

South Carolina seems to have forgotten all about military rule and carpet-ban government though she was the worst snlferer from It. She is galloping away as hard as she can on a road that, leads to them again. We have have been disposed to think that after all Tllltnnan and lrby were good democrats.
