For one I earnestly hope that "Uncle" George won't otter for Governor, yet awhile; not that he Is lacking In auy of the qualifications hut we already have out good material from among whom everybody can And a choice, if allowed to do so.

Because of this surrendering of oues Individuality and Independence to a few hot beaded injudicious and often Ignorant leaders. I nave never bad any sympathy with Recret labor or political organizations. Yet tbe tact remains thai there Is a cause for tnls unrest between capital and labor. Tbe error can't be all on one side and there Is a middle plane somewhere upon which an equitable adjustment can be made. And the man who first discovers It will be a benefactor. Since a free-for-all-primary was once the Slogan of Iiefoi m. we tail to see how tbey can refuse Senator Butler's request for a separate box for a recommendation for Senator, butjust how it would benefit Senator Butler we cannot see. Governor Tillman can?/well afford to grant It to him, and doubtless wonld, but that be views the apathy of conservatives km a sort of trap, if so be misjudges us, as far as my acquaintance extends it is a deep seated and stolid Indifference which In a great many cases amounts to a preference for B.R. Tillman. Mr I. H. Purrli! moved into the Gil lam house. Miss Lucia McGhee, of Greenville, and Miss Lula McGhee, of Due West, are with Mrs. J. W. Sproies. The sympathy manifested lor me by the colored people It* more or less appreciated, because they are black and untutored. Mrs. C. V. Martin, and little Earle, of Donalds, are vlsltlug friends and relatives at this place. Mrs. .Sessions, of Florida, and Miss Sessions, of Texas, are visiting the former's son, Mr. J. S. Marse. Mr. R.

Professor Spencer, who for the past year has been principal of the Cokesbury AcadeI iny, has been elected Superintendent of our Graded School. Miss Nellie Screws, Miss Annie Scruggs, Miss Mury McGhee, and Miss Nannie Major, were elected assistants. Jolly Pat Kennedy, of Due West, called to see us last week. His handsome lace contains as much sunshine to the square inch as any man's In thecouuty. Colonel Albert Gilchrist, of Florida, is on a visit to his mother, Mrs. R. G. Gibbs. A professed Hypnotist wus in town for two nights last week. Those who witnessed his periormances are about equal in believing nim an impostor. Viewed from a wholly disinterested standpoint, we can see no earthly reason why any Reform candidate should submit to the "boiling down" process inaugurated by the courthouse ring composed chiefly or lawyers. Indeed there Is no valid excuse for the Reform primary to reduce Stale officers. It would be * virtual acknowledgement that the three gubernatorial aspirants who were left out, were "weak kneed" and "traitors to Relorra" one of whom the conservatives might elect. It Is hardly to be expected that they or their irlendB would submit tamely to such an imnntntinn nnri it. wmild nrnva the Inevitable death of Reiorm tws years hence, whereas a "free-for-all-prlroary,r would stiengtben the cause and virtually break down opposition no matter who was elected. These observations are made in tbe Interest of true Reform t>y a disinterested party |not from the grand stand, however, but from a knot bole In the fence. S. COKESBURY CHRONICLES. Valuable Tencherw?Popular Preachers?Cb ion en*? Prominent Men. Cokesbury, S. C., June 30, 1894. Tbe valuable services of Pror. C. E. Spencer, principal of tbe Cokesbury Hlgf School as well as those of bis able assistant, Mrs. Mildred E. Nowel!, have been bighly appreciated by the patrons or tbis well known school. Tbe school rooms are well equipped with tbe latest and best desks, charts, black boards and everything that goes to complete tbe necessary adjuncts of a 6chool room. About one hundred dollars have been expended In school furniture this year, all of which was the proceeds of entertainments given by tbe teachers. Cokesbury has two first class life Insurance agents, Messrs. C. L. Smith and E. A. Morris, representing two of tbe best life insurance companies In tbecountry. Tbe population of this place Is estimated at 400. Mrs. C. C. Reed, an experienced and successful teacher, taught tbe public school here this year. Rev. S. D. Vaughn, pastor of the Methodist 1 ?? ?- ? r* n rj nnn??. CIIUTCU, tiUU IVUV. duuu u. auuumsuu, iiagiiUi of the Presbyterian church, are quite popular with the members of their respective churches. Miss Mary Smith, daughter of Mr. C. L. Smith, will stand a competitive examination for the Wlnthrop Tralniug School. She is well up in her studies and the young lady who beats her will most likely get the scholarship. The meeting of the District Conference here will embrace the third Sunday In July. Dr. E. C. Connor ha* Rome 300 fine chickens and expects to feed some of the Methodist brethren on them during Conference. The new board of control over the Cokesbury Conference High School are making arrangements to open by the first of September with a full corps of competent teachers. Tuition and board will be very reasonable, aud If you want your boys and girls educated Cokesbury is a good place to send thein. Dr. S.T. Lea has a lot of fine chickens and pet rabbits. The people of Cokesbury much regret that they cannot secure lOr another year the services of Prof. Spencer. Wherever he goes he j will have the best wishes of this entire community. Mr. N. B. Goodman makes a most acceptble postmaster. Master Rowland Nowell has the finest selection of native bird's egKB we ever saw. He has altogether over 300 of them. Prof. C. C.

Other fat mere would do well to emulate his example. N. O. Pylep. LowndeMvUle Items. Refreshing raius have visited this community recently. Mr. Tom Tucker was In town Saturday entertaining the folks with his anecdotes. Mr. R >bert Grey and wife of Anderson worshipped with the Presbyterians last Sabbath.

Only a short time ago he delivered the annual address before the NinetySix High School and was then in the best oi health. Mrs. G. M. Anderson and Mrs. E. M. Lipscomb, after a short stay at Spartanburg, have gone to Abbeville to spend awhile. Mr. Dennis Madlgan. a personal friend of MaJ. Hale, and the oldest drummer ou the road, spent Saturday and Sunday here. Miss Joe Langford is here for awhile, the guest of Mrs. A. S. Osborne. Miss Annie and Miss Mary Blake are back from a dellghttul visit to friends in Abbeville. Revenue Collector Ouzts, of Edgefield, was in town recently. Dr. Blake has 12 acres of the finest np-land corn In the county. Our people are out of the grass. The crops are looking fine. Miss Boozer, of Newberry, and Miss Ander son, of Laurens, are visiting Miss C'urrie Anderson at. Mr. H. K. Fuller's. Mr. John Dukes, of Georgia. Ik spending a short titne with his sister, Mrs. W. L. Anderson. Dr. R. It. Calhoun and Mr. James Blake took in Greenwood last Sunday. Tne Ninety-Six braves are still without their impllments of wur. Join the Reformers boys, and you will get your guns. The pea crop around Ninety-Six is larger than ever before, and but for the high price of peas for seed, would have been much larger. We are often asked the question, "Are the people really sincere when I hey say they are willing aud will help to form anew county with the Court House at Ninety-Six ?" Well, we hope they are and believe they are. Ninety-Six is the proper place for it, and Abbeville cannot afford to have it any nearer. The board of health, with a few exceptions, have reported the town in a line sanitary condition. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Wilson have returned from a visit to Edgefield. It is reported that Capt. J. N. King is going to move to Union county. He 1b one of the best farmers and neighbors that we ever lived near. He is also n tine mechanic, as has been exemplified by the fine bridges he has built. There seems to be but little Interest manifested in the campaign that is now going on in the Stale. We think our people are tired of politics, justly so. Popular elections as they have been carried 011 for the past few years are very demoralizing. It is nothing more than an internecine war of words, epithets, crimination and re-criminations, entirely unworthy of the people who are engaged io it. Our people are yearning for peace and "there is no peace." We are beginning to need rain. The crops are In such a condition that a dry snap would be very injurious. . East End. r.nWNDF.SVTT.T.F.

The late change of schedule on our railroad forces me, as we have no Sunday mall, to send off ray contributions to tbe Press and Banner two days sooner than formerly, therefore this week's communication will be short, as it will lose tbe usual Saturday and Sunday Ingathering Items.

Chattanooga, Tenn., June 80.?The Tradesman in reviewing the cotton textile industry of the South gives a llstshowiog the present number of active cotton seed mills to be 253, Texas leading with 89. Investigations prove that the best mills produce forty gallons of oil, 075 pounds of cotton seed rneul, 950 pounds of hulls and 30 pounds of lint to the ton of seed. The mills exported In the year ending May 12,1894, cotton seed to the value of S41.033; oil cake and meal lo the value of 80,684,200 and oil to the value of ?5,203,675, and In quantity over 5,000.000 pounds of seed, nearly 600,000.000 pounds of oil cake and meal and uearly 13,000.000 gallons of cotton seed oil.

Bradley and Sloan kindly assisted iu trie vocal music which was sweetly rendered. In the trio "Life has no power." Kev. Sloan V sweet tenor, with Mr. George Bradley's deep, full bass did credit to the composer. Mr. Sloan then delivered a gold medal to Miss Isabelie Dendy for obedience, diligence, and perseverence. In her music, which was Justly deserved. In conclusion will say that we are unanimous with Rev. Sloan when he said "One more medal Is needed tonight and that lor the teacher." Nick..

MILFORD, Chairman Board of Examiners. July 10,1894, It U is better to want to be on the Lord's aide than to want the Lord to I be on our side. Philosophically, both may seem to come to the name thing iu the end. But therein lies just the difference between that which is philosophical and that which is spiritual. It makes a difference what spirit a niau begins with, or what attitude he starts from. The man who wants to he on the Lord's side has an ideal above himself, above his own strength, his conception, his motive. The man who wants the Lord tobeon bis side, has himself and his energies as his moving ideal. One expects the Lord to follow his lead, the other expects to follow the Lord's lead. Both may seem to perform the same act, or attain the same outward result. But one mau grows in self-esteem, the other grows in self-consecration.? S. S.
