Fore at Ninety-six. We clip the following description the fire from the News and Courier May 1 : "One of the most destructi fires in the history of Ninety-Six c curred here last night. The alarm fire waa aounded about 1 o'clock ai the whole town was soon aroused, b reached the scene too late to save ai of tbe atores.

Sheppard some very pertinent questions, far reaching and soul-search i ng,but in stead of answering them he turnee to me and said (so I have sine? been informed) : "Stan Ryan, g( home and 'tend to your business.' I would have John Calhoun Shep pard to understand that Stanmor? Butler Ryan was that day on hi native heath, too, as well as th balance of 'era, and that he call no man master ; and furthermore it might rain John Sheppards fo nine days and nine nights and no frighten him from his propriety If it should occur to Gov. Shep pard at any time that he want anything out of Stanmore Ryar let him know that he, the sai Stanmore, is always at home t his friends-and his enemies. . STANMORE B. RYAN. P. S. The Governor was on hi native heath, too, but his name i "Dennis." DENNY BUDGET. )ur Correspondent Handles thc "Extremely Evenly" Papers Without Gloves-He Shows 'em up and He Does 'em Up. DEAR ADVERTISER:-Well, the lusterlitz of Edgefield is over and re suppose the triumphant Till nan victory has been read with Lvidity throughout the State. That the home of the "Blinker" las given him a good "send off" lone can gain say ? We are not surprised to see the )eace* and harmony papers claini ng thut the han'd primary showed he crowd "very evenly divided-" >n the sheep and goat candidates ; leither are we astounded at the leclaration made by Tillman pa pers tha't the hand primary showed line-tenths to be Tillman men. But what did surprise us-yes? ilmo3t stun us-was to see one of che Edgefield papers so far lost to ?ounty pride and honest .instincts is to proclaim it to the world in m apparently boasting wa*y that two of Edgefield's brightest stars md most brilliant sons could muster, but a "thousand, perhaps less," to hear them as they met in svordy war. This statement of ?ourse was an unintentional equiv ocation, and was merely made for political effect ; on\y made to have the StaTe at large believe the peo ple of Tillman's own county have so far lost confidence in him and respect for him .that only about one thousand people including women and children went out to hear him. My dear brother, you forget that it was a reflection on Sheppard also. It is a very slim showing for the ex-Governor if there were only one thousand present and Ave deduet Tillman's 9-10. There you are, Mr., Shep pard, with only one hundred fol lowers at the great campaign meet ing on your native heath. See? Why, the game wasn't worth half the ammunition. The editor of one of the other county papers in commenting on the resolutions adopted by the members of the Huiet Democratic Club, said, "The Denny Democra cy didn't expect anything." Well, the reason is plain enough why "they didn't expect anything." After waiting and hoping and "expecting" 'for fourteen long years of ring-rule and getting nothing, how can the Editor of the Monitor blame "the Denny Democracy" for not "expecting anything?" With a decade of crushed, mutilated hopes, anx ieties and "expectations" staring them in the face from such mental giants as Hampton, Thompson, and Richardson, seriously, would they not have been mighty foolish to "expect anything" from sol "weak," "insignificant," "idiotica" sort of fellow as Ben Tillman? The second Quarterly Confer ence for Saluda circuit was held on Friday last at Bethany. Pre siding Elder Campbell was promptly on hand and preached one of his .best sermons. As a presiding officer he was courteous and business-like. Financially the conference reports exceeded tile most sanguine expectations. The closing exercises of the Denny High School, under the excellent supervision of Prof. M. W. Peurifoy, will take place on Friday evening, May 12th. If systematic training and persistent practice bespeak anything we can predict a complete success. A very delicate operation was performed recently by Dr. J. J. Kirksey in the removal of a tumor from the under side of the upper eye-lid of Mr. Jas. Ridlehoover's eye. Although the operation necessitated the almost "turning wrong side out" of the lid yet the patient stood it finely and is doing well. Dr. J.W. Keunerly, of the Mt. Willing section, was thrown from .his buggy a few davs since by a run-away horse ana, though not dangerously hurt, was consider ably bruised up. Measles are prevalent in^the Coleman's Cross Roads communi ty. Several new cases recently, Fun for the patient and toll foi the physicians. ChildrenV Day will be held al Zoor the first Sunday in May, the second at Butler, the third al Bethany and the fourth at Emorj Chapel. The pastor in charge be heves in giving the children i showing. On these days he wil preach especially to the litth folks. The early cotton planters an feeling dubious about gettiuj "stands." The winds of the pas week have caused . crust to forn which together with the cool night are sufficient to cause fear. Somi are meditating replanting. Grain Which is now on the point o "booting," can be easily ruinei by a few days' drv weather. Our friend, M. B. Davenport, i going to run for School Commie sioner. And ju3t here let us sa; that the pt3ople of Edgefield can not get ? better and more com petent man in the county for th place. "Belt," as he is commonl; called, is known throughout th county, and there is no doubt, tha Saluda will have the next Sch"oc Commissioner. Bun. Denny's, S. C., April 30, '91.

Holston Cross Roads Democratic 31ub met. on the 30m of April for he purpose of completing Roll md hearing a speech from Col. it. B. Watson. He delivered some ;elling remarks and urged one and til to look-to their laurels and ;ast their votes and work for Till nan and reform on the 30th of Vugust. The following resolutions vere introduced : Resolved, 1. that We, the Hol ston Crbss Roads Democratic Club in meeting assembled appreciating :he ability, integrity and honest purposes of the .present adminis tration in its efforts to administer ind dispense justice to all classes equally throughout the State, do hereby heartily endorse and pledge )ur support to them during the 20m in g campaign. \ResqJved, ll. That we condemn the action of "The State," "Green ville News" and "News and Courier" in arraying tho minority against the majority of white peo ple in this State, and w? pledge our support to the "Columbia Reg ister" for the noble fight they have taken for organized Democracj'. Resolved, 111. That these reso lutions be published in thc Colum bia Register, Edgefield ADVERTISER and Farmer. W. W. HOLSTON, Pres., ANDREW B. WATSON, Sec pro tem. Dots from Newberry College. Ex-Gov Sheppard was in town on the 18th in response to a telegram sent him by the citizens of Newberry. Mr. Sheppard spoke in the opera house to a large audience, composed of advocates o? both parties. In his speech he spoke of the extravagance of the present administration, and intimated that it was the cause oi the present pricev of cotton. Mr, Sheppard said he was in favor ot taxing the people according tc their wealth. At tho close of hil speech the applause was vory great for both parties. The exercises of the college were puspended from the 14th to thc 19th inst., and most of tho boy? went home to spend Easter ; others visited friends around Newberry while the remainder remained ir town and enjoyed themsclvs -witl the fair sex.decorating tho cliurchei and Easter-egg hunting. On re turning from breakfast last Sunda] morning one of the boys, Mr C-, found in his room settinj on the table a basket of mc?st beau tiful flowers containing six Easte eggs, he returns many thankt to the unknown donor. Our friend and one of the wisi Sophomore's, Mr. J. W-h certainly getting there now, as h is sporting a young Jewess of thi town. As for the rest of our EdgefieL boys, they are very busy wit] their studies and have no tim for sporting Those boys are still lingerin around that yellow house. Som nights ago they serenaded th house when the young ladies wer not at home. About 1 o'clock on of the boys returned in search c a part of one of his musics instruments and on passing outc the gate he met the young ladie returning home. The final examination of th Senior class will take place nea week. Good luck to tha ADVERTISE and all our friends. B. & C. Newberry, S. C., April 23, 189! Hubard, Price & Co.'s Kepor DEAR SIR : Our corresponded is au enormous one, and we ai forced to resort to the printin press to keep our friends a advised. Bradstreet's report this momie is a decided surprise to the trad Summarized briefly from 33.0C replies, it indicates a reduction i the use of fertilzers of from 30 1 35 per cent, and a probab reduction in acreage of from 20 25 per cent. Assume this crop to be 9,00( OOO bales. Deduct for decreased acreage ! per cent, say 1,800,000. Deanct for fertilizers say. 5 p cent upon the total yield or 45( 000. Total 2,250.000 bales Indicated crop 6,750,000 bales. It is generally admitted th the past two seasons have bei exceptionally .favorable if n phenomenal in the weather cone tions that have resulted in ? unprecedentedly large produ tion, and if we assume for t contingencies of a third seasi that will possibly be unfavornb a further reduction in the yield from 5 to 10 per cent, a crop under 6,500,000 might be c sidered as logically indicatf Of course these figures will considered ridiculous and we not advance them as any estihii of the probability, but simply show possibilities within t present situation. For the ne few months, sentiment with reg.i to the growing crop will be t controlling factor in cott speculation. For the past t years the market, has been ainu continually declining. As result the feeling still con tim bearish, and no one can measi the magnitude of the existi short interest that has be created on the decline. Wo not think the force of the char in public opinion that is nowobe iug created is as yet appreciated ! \\;hen it is, wc look for much higher prices for cotton, and be lieve/that the article can be very confidently bought now.
