IN GREENWOOD'S GATES. Itelitfiou ????! l'olili<? liulliiiii; in l*ooN ? Kwiiumiiiir in Mineral Wliter? Ham* ami Balls. Greenwood, s. C., July 20, ISitO. 1 u a former article I said something about I who Wt> ought, and who wc ought not to vote | for. I hope my readers will pardou me if I ? ti,usnm?line of thought, if I read IUIIIM* up ^ ray Bible aright, God has more respect to the personal character than to the political creeds of rulers. Why did I say that? Because the Bible says, when the righteous are iu authority, the people rejoice. hut when the wicked hear rule the people mourn. The Scripture does not say, when we have rulers of right political beliefs and llnaucial creed the people rejoice; or of wrong political views the people mourn. It lays stress upon the character of the rulers. It declares that wheu the righteous are in authority, whether they be Presidents, Governors, or even down to Cor- r oners, gold bugs or silver bugs, conservatives . or reformers, the people rejoice. But when the wicked bear rule no matter bow good their creed, the people mourn. Away with tactions and vote for men. Men who fear Cod and would not dare profane his holy name. The 15th, Psalm Indicates some of the c characteristics of a christian voter. One of j these is, iu whose eyes a vile person Is can- c temned, but he honors those who fear the e Ixird. Now It seems to me that In electing men to office this christian characteristic has t large opportunity of showing Itself. Can- c ?uiie man's wbvs. by not voting for f him. Honor the man who fears the Lord by casting your ballot for him. We are judged by our sister Counties, and States by the character ot the men we elect to office. If that be so It behooves christian people to elect men to office who represent, and practice among other things, christian principles, character and habits. Is not ttiat sound doctrine; if christian men will not offer themselves lor office, elect them anyhow. V'eyr few men will not serve If elected. I will touch this subject again before the coming election.-. The sHdest occurence I have heard for a Jong time, was t he death of senator Tillman's daughter and Hev. Mr. Lee. Last Wednesday, Miss Addle Tillman, and Itev. Itobt. Lee of Due West, togetyer with a party or eight others were out riding near Brevard N. C? when a storm arose, miss Tinman hdu .?r. t Lee tried to take shelter from the storm un- j der a tree when a stroke of lightning struck { the tree of which they were under, killing a them instantly and both horses. Miss Addie j Tillman was Just bloomlug into womanhood. . She was a student of the Kock Hill school. , Itev. Mr. Lee was a young Kpiscopal Minister f just entering upon his lite work, that of sav- ( ingsouls. < >ur hearts go out in sympathy for ( the parents and families ol these two young persons snatched from earth to eternity without a moments notice. Ob how sad these two homes must be. We who have bad no such experience, know how to sympathize with them properly. We only have a vaguo imagination. May the good Lord, who maketh no mistakes, pour in the oil and wine to sooth and heal all the troubled hearts on account of this sad accident. In a conversation with Mr. J. A. Milling about the burning of his barn and stables sometime ago he told me he lost six head of horses and mules together with all of his < leed and carriage. Mr. Milling says ois loss was one thousand to eleven hundred dollars. He only had two hundred and fifty dollars insurance. I think a reward should be offered , for all such criminals as those that lake their , revenge with the torch. ' Mr. Henry Williamson and Miss Drsan, , DysansS. U? came to the parsonage of the ( 1'residlng Elder, ltev. G. T. Harmon, last , Wednesday and were made happy in the bonds of wedlock. The Presiding Klder officiating in the ceremony. May they have a long and happy life. schrade, the fast bicycle rider Is spending this week in Greenwood the guest of Wells Klley. He will enter the races Uere on the 2t>, next Tuesday. All who wish to see some good riding should be here on that day. Tbe Greenwood boys have done a quantity of work ou their track. It is said to be in lind order byithose who know. Greenwood's swimming pool is the popular resort of the town. Induced by the pleasant reports given of it by all who visited it, I went a tew evenings ago to see it, I must confess that 1 was pleased. I found eight or ten youugmen In the highsstglee diving,turning sumuersaults, jumping from the spring board, swimming, and all manner of sport, so that my youthful memories and Inclinations came i; back with such force I could not resist, a'.idj joiued the sport with them. The pool is " beautifully located in a grove near one of the i; mineral springs at the foot of a rock fall of J; twelve or filteen leet high, from trie top of? which the water is conveyed into the pool, j "i ne waier in lurumucu uj uuu?.i? springs. The pool is wide and long enough lor eight or tea to swim at the same time, the pool is encased in a cemented wall with a dressing room at each end. and the whole inclosed. with a close plank fence, so that it is perfectly private. The ladies enjoy it very much. They have special days and hours to visit the pool. Mr. \V. K. Blake the proprieter proposes to convert the locality Into a park, injbracing some twenty acres which is capable of being made a thing of beauty, equal to any to be found, and will be one ol the institutions of the town. Mr. Blake has tone to a considerable expence on his spring and swimming pool. The water in the pool is five or more feet deep, but can be made shallower for any who wish it. XJr. C. V. Taggart of Texas is visiting bis mother, sisters and brother, in Greenwood. l?r. Taggari Is a son of the late Dr. M. C. Taggart of this place. We were glad to see Charlie and wish he may make as good a doctor as his father was. Greenwood expects to have a grand rally of all her friends this summer, and a big free barbecue. Bryan andSewall will be the chief speakers invited, together with Senator Tillman and others. iUTi J. r. 1\HCJ piupuciui V?? Atliv; U MVVV is putting In a system of electric bells in his hotel. The brick work is completed of Mr. J. I. Chip ley's new store. Dr. Campbell of Atlanta, partner of the famous I?r. Calhoun, was in town last week on professional business. The young people enjoyed a moonlight picnic last Thursday evening at Joe's spring. This spring is quite a popular place for picnics. Hou.C. A. C. Waller and his nephew Mr. Coleman K. Waller returned one day last week from their extended trip to the reunion at Richmond. They visited quite a number of other cities and pleasure resorts. Why not elect Mr. Waller to the Legislature. He made a good representative when he was there before and he would do it again. The Methodist pastor being absent on his vacation, we worshiped with our Baptist brethren and beard a good sermon by Mr. Kamsey, who is conducting a series of meeting here. Your correspondent West End said last week, that the small boys played ball in Greenwood and were beaten by a score of 19 to 2. He says the boys say that Greenwood played some first nine men on them and were out classed all the "Way through. Our boys say the above is true except the first nine part. Our boys say tbdy will play yours by weight and size. Kroin the score It does seem that the Abbeville boys were closed out in playiug. We suppose your boys brought . their best players. M. S. G. CONGREGATIONAL PICNIC. I Picnic Hi Vrecuvillc Oiurcti - Address by I>r. Pell. i There was a "congregational" plculc on Sat- 1 urdny, 2Sth inst., at Greenville church. A . large crowd was present. Abbeville was represented by Messrs. Millford aud Blake. Due West, Honea Path, Donalds and Hodges were well represented. The weather being cool ' and cloudy the day was unusually pleasant for this season of the year, notwithstanding, we saw one man wearing an overcoat. The main feature of the program was an address by Rev. R. P. Pell, D. D.,of Columbia. This address was enjoyed by all. Another enjoyable feature was the dinner, which was spread upon a long table in the grove. A committee served the hungry multitude with the richest food known to man. The afternoon was given up to handshaking and social Intercourse, and of course the young people were in their right element. I'licliWnied Letter*. Letters remaining in the Abbeville, S.
