With a few seemingly "to be continued" threatening*), the wet weather has apparently left us lor a Reason and with It our anxiety In regard to the safety of our crops, especially that of the bottom-land corn. We are exceedingly grateful for the few days ot sunshine -we have bad, and hope they may continue awhile. Pretty weather like this puts new life, new hope, and new Joys into our souls, dispelling all the cares aud gloom that have settled in them. Sociables are still in vogue in our little town. There was one at the residence of Mr. J. D. Fooche on Monday night, the 6th iust., and one at Mr. J. 8. Anderson's on the following Wednesday night. At first we had a small attendance as the weather was very unfavorable, but had a very pleasant lime. At the second all our young people were present and spent u very enjoyable evening together. We had something new last Thursday night at Mr. David Aiken's home. It was a rainbow party, in which each young man present hemmed some young lady's apron. A prize is given to the one who hems best, and we had that night, Mr. Editor, a perfect Illustration of the danger of foreign (?) cen: petition. Mr. Coleman, ol Edgefield, a stranger to most of us, won the prize. Though be is a stranger to most of us, and though we are not well acquainted with him, we venture the assertion that he has been keeping one of those halls where men."have to" learn to sew. Af ter the sewing we played several games, partook very freely of the iced lemonade and | cake so nicely served, and left for our homes, much Indebted to our kind host and hostess for a very pleasant evening. Miss Maude Auderson of Ninety Six Is visiting Mr. J. S. Anderson and family. Shpal-i ways pays Coronuca a summer visit, and in so doing she may feel that we are glad to Nether, and that we extend to her a hearty and frlnndlv welwime Into our midst. Miss Fannie Aiken tian been 'visiting1 friends aud relatives at Cokesbury since our last letter whs written anil from there went to Greenwood and spent several days. She returned last Tuesday. Miss Jane AjjneKConnor of Cokesbury and Mise Helen Jones of Newberry came home with her from Greenwood, and are now.spendlDg awhile with ber. Kev. s.

There was very liltle Interest manifested on the part of the unconverted. Mr. F. E. Hodges of Cokesbury assisted some In the meeting. Messrs. Will it Ice, Jeff. Coleman and Robert.Stuart bnd families, and Mrs. T. H Stuart and Miss Agnes Kice spent ttie day at Harris' Springs one day last week. Another trip has been spoken of, but not yet fully decided. The writer has very pleasant recollections oi a day spent there last summer, and hopes that ere the season closes, the young people will gooverand spend another day there, If with no other intention In view than that ol recalling the memories and associations oi one (dnv). Mrs. lJat Anderson of Waterloo has been over on a visit to Mrs. J. S. Anderson and family, and to her other relatives of this place. She returned Saturday. Mr. Eugene Fuller, also of Waterloo, was here last week visiting Mr. J. I). Fooshe and family. He too has returned. Mr. J.

We enjoyed Mr. Henderson's sermon very much, and hope that he will cone again at an early dale. Politics are as dry down here as any one can Imagine. There is never a word said In regard to them. As far as Coronaca is con-, cerned they may take their own course. No opinion Is ever expressed in regard to what or whom Ik preferred.

Bonner, Principal oi the College, will lake h share of the school room work not yet decided upon. Mr. H. E. Bonner will have Mental and Moral Philosophy and Astronomy In addition to other work. Miss Annie B. Gay will have Literature. History and French. Miss Gay has been couuected with the school for the past two years and her record during that time Is a sufficient guarantee of the work she will do in the future. She was educated at Holllns Institute. Miss H. P. Crawley, who was a member of the faculty the past year, will be connected with the school again. Miss Crawley Is one of the most thoroughly equipped teachers the College has ever had, and while she Is qualHied to teach almost anything In the course, her preferences are Mathematics and Lntin, and her work next session will be mainly In these two departments. Miss Crawley is a graduate of Danville (Va.) Female Seminary. Miss Carrie F. Bell, a full graduate of the Augusta Female Seminary, Staunton, Va., will have work In the departments of Latin and English. Miss Bell comes highly recommended by Miss Baldwin and also by persous for whom she has taught. Every assurance Is hud that she will malce a thorough and acceptable teacher. Miss Anne Wallace, of Kentucky, will have charge of the Art department. She is now enjoying some special advantages In Louisville. Kv.. where she has spent much of her IIme since her graduation, preparatory to undertaking the work of which she 1m so passionately fond. It Is predicted that Mlas Wallace will prove one of the most acceptable teachers this department has ever had. Miss Alice Tennent, of Lawrence, Mass., has been engaged at* teacher of Vocal and Instrumental Music. Id voice culture MIsh Tennant Is a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music and is a fine pianist She has bad several years experience lu teaching. Miss Zula A.

Miss Brock Has enjoyed the very best Instruction in music and has applied herself closely to its study with a view to teaching. .She has been teaehingcoDstantly since her graduation, and lor the past several weeks has been enjoylog unusual advantages at the Summer School oi Music In Philadelphia. It was of Miss Brock that Madam Gafl said, "She Is a genius in music." Miss Kitty Herman, of Oxford, N. C., will he the principal of the Primary department. She has had several years of successful expeence In teaching. Of the fitness of Miss HerI man for the work to which she has been ealled here Rev. T. W. Sloan writes as follows to Mr. H. E. Bonuer: "You are very fortunate In securing Miss Herman as teacher ill uie rniiiurj uc|iai uucm ui mv v>u?>v College. She has taught here with great success, and her Influence among the pupils has been most excellent In every respect. Of the methods of Miss Herman there Is good reason to believe they will be very much like those the school has enjoyed for a number of years." EVIDENCE OF PKOSPEKITY, An Immense Clothing1 House to be Opened in Abbeville.

Mr. Aaron Cohen, representing three ol the largest and most reliable clothing concerns In this county, will open an exclusive Clothing and Gentlemen h Furnishing Goods Establishment In this city in a few days.

Nobody Scared. uoiumoia riegisier. Whether or not to put out an Independent ticket and to call a State convention was the subject of the hottest kind of a discussion In the big conference of the Butler leaders last night. The conference was held In the dining room of the Hotel Jerome and there were thirty or forty men present, supposed to represent a large number of the counties of the State. All day yesterday the old familiar faces of some of tnose who had led In the attempted downfall of democracy In 1890 could be seen at the (Jnion depot coming in on every train ?pale, anxious faces; expectant, cunning faces; fat, well-fed faces; emaciated, hungry faces ; all, the faces ot those Intent upon saving the State for themselves. Senator Butler beaded the list of those present. From Edgefield were Major Carwlle, W. R. Harmon, George B. Lake, and several others. Next In Importance were District Attorney W. Perry Murphy, Revenue Collector Townes. Deputy Collector A. H. Jenkins, of Greenville. Raiding Deputy L. W. C. Blalock of Newberry. Thos. W. Woodward, of Fairfield. Mayor Dargan and C. S. Nettles, of Darlington. Deputy Collector Hal Richardson, M. P. Tribble and B. F. Whitner, of Anderson. G. C. Page, A. J. Fisher, J. M. Robinson and W. Landford.ol Spartanburg. W. H. Hunt, Jr., G. L. Scbumpert, of Newberry. Thos. B. Butler, of Union. John Dunnovant, W. R. Christie and A. M. Aiken, of Chester. M. O. Dantzler, of St. Matthews. John E. Allen, of Barnwell. Inhn Mat/ r?f Vnplrvlllfi. Rev. L. Base, of Florence. George S. Mower, of Newberry. Capt. John G. Capers, A. E. Gonzales, N. G. Gonzales, of Richland. B. F. Perry, of Greenville. Among oilier newspaper men on band were J. Wilson Glbbs, W. W. Ball, of tbe Journal, and Kobn of tbe News and Courier. The conference was In session until 1 o'clock this morning, and when it adjourned it was stated that a resolution had been passed not to give anything to tbe newspapers. Certain newspaper men, however, were not dependent on wbat was to be given tbem. IL is known that a chairman and a secretary were elected nnd that a series of resolutions were introduced. These resolutions precipitated a discussion lasting for hours. It is not known what they contained, but from the windows of the dining room of the hotel could be heard the discussion in progress. The longest and hottest discussion was. as stated, on the question of calling u convention aud putting out a ticket from governor down. There seemed to have been strong opposition to this course, but tbe men against it were evently in the minority, because when a speech in favor ol a convention was mode the cheering and applause was loud and hearty. All the indications point to a ticket. It is known that three men are being considered for the nomination for governor. The name of Judge Hudson Is among the number. Tbe opposition to him is that he is too old to make a light. | During tbe discussion many outer tnings were said about the Tillmanltes and tbe majority of the speakers urged a fight no matter whether ihey were defeated or not. One man said that he was In favor of beginning tbe flscbt now and passing resolutions afterward. He said he believed in going at tbe business with a rush and making a practical fight and a hard light. Another said that the conference ought not to attempt to commit those present to any course. He wat'. In favor of requesting the people to meet at their respective county seats and deciding whether they were In favor of an independent movement. If they were, then a convention could be t>e called and a ticket put out. Uutil this was lone he was against the passage of the resolutions calling a convention. Senator Butler made a speech during the evening. Amongother speakers was Captain Uapers. Some man wanted the resolutions read by section and adopted that way, but 'aptuln Capers was opposed to this and waDt;d the resolution adopted as a whole. Adsther man took the ground that tbe passage ind publication of the resolutions would lose irotes to the movement. A great talk was heard aboui "the democracy." and the conference seemed to consider that It was the only gathering of democrats In the State. National democracy played an important part in the talk. Reports were made from the different counllesol tbe State and about tbe prospects of winning. Some of those present took the position that It would be better to make the the tight only In counties where there was a chance of winning and leave the others alone. j S? ? Tbere was muob talk about tbe small vote cast, at tbe reoent primary and Aug oat Kobe, of tbe News and Courier, arose and said tbat be bad sent bis paper a tabulated statement of tbe vote by counties. Tbe total In tbe State was about 58,000, a tailing off of many thousands from two years ago. Mr. Kohn aid not express any opinion on Ibis light vote, but allowed tbe conference to Judge for Itself. Tbe conference gave signs of being mucb Impressed and believed tbat la tbat light vote lay all tbe chances of an lndependmovement One speaker, with a great deal of entbUBlasm, said tbat in 18T6 they had been at first urged not to say or do anything but they bad fought and won. They would fight and win this time if tbe democracy would back them. Captain Capers reported tbat be had received many encouraging letters. He gave tbe names of some of those from whom the letters bad been received. At tbe same time e reportea mat mere was some opposition to tbe movement among men who were expected to be Its friends. In one Instance a father and a son expressed directly opposite views on the matter. After tbe conference bad adlonrned a member said that tbe resolotlonB which bad caused so mncb debate had been passed and be talked confidently of winning. There is littie doubt that tbe reformers and those conservatives who believe in standing to the rack will have to fight an independent movement of tbe worst sort aid will have to fight a ticket composed of strong men. It Is understood that offers of financial assistance have been recalved from varioni quarters. Before the conference adjourned a committee from different counties was appointed to remain in the city and bold a meeting at ? o'clock this morning. This committee will probably formulate an address to the voters of the State and make public tbe resolutions passed. From everything that can be learned it Is believed tbat these resolutions call for a convention for tbe nomination of .a State ticket. It could not be learned what date for tbe convention has been fixed, but tbe hot heads want It right away and want to begin without preliminaries. In the language of the gentleman who spoke so beartllv, "Let's start tbe tight and resolute afterwards." A flghtis what they want and a light Is what they will gel. EEL1GI00S SEE VICES.
