MR. EDITOR : Allow us a line
from Callison.
Farmers ar,e getting along nicely
with their work. Mr. J. H. Miller

Mr. J. W. Callison is quite sick.
He is ably treated by Dr. S. S.

recover.
Politics ure not discussed so
J much now - as some time ago.
Where the candidates for the
House? Are they waiting to see
upon which side of the fence to
fall? There are few who will run
on their own merits; they must be
waiting to see whose coat tail to
swing to"
We hear that Dr. P. H. Adams
is going to run for the House in
Abbeville county. I wish lie could 1
run in Edgefield. We will kill ''
some birds in Abbeville for him, '
as we are so near the line. - ?
William Miller, Pierce Harling,
and Walter Harling went to Troy
last Sunday. Wonder what they
keep running to Troy for? There
must be some attraction up at that
place, and the Troy boys would
like them much better if they
would stay away.

MR. EDITOR: Harvesting is
about done in this community and
the farmers are waiting for some
one with bright and shining ma
chinery to come and thresh out the
grain. Never since I can remem
ber have the farmers been in such
high .spirits as they-seem to b/B in
?t this lime.
So far as I know there is not a
case of sickness anywhere in miles
.of this place, nor a cloud to dim
the clear blue horizon of our hopes.
We^iow and then (not often) hear
a poor little sheep bleat as though
it needed a Sheppard j with that
exception all is quiet' and serene,
so serene, indeed, that I don't
know as I would have bothered
you again so soon if it was not for
"Alpha." I am told that ' he is
keeping his eye open for "Prob
lem," and I am afraid if he catches
me he will "solve me up."
Elmwood is sympathizing with
Pleasant Lane this week over the
loss of the pretty and piquant
Miss Mary Pope, who returned to
her home in Greenville on Satur
day last. We have known also
what it is to love and lose. But
then we bid you hope ; maybe one
of your bachelors will do as one of
ours did not a dozen years ago.

MR. EDITOR: We don't hear
much of politics now, as we have
"Gen. Green" to contend with, but
I think we have him pretty well
whipped.
. I hear that Tillman is carrying
everything where lie has spoken.
Hurrah for the Governor! I want
to say to the one gallus boys of
Edgefield county that we must
stick closer together than ever.
The Sheep crowd, (I think they
are better known as the ring
crowd) are working like beavers.
They very well know it is the
last ohance with them, and if we
will only do our duty they have
no chance except to takp back
seats, where they should have been
years ago. Watch'close boys, they
will use the money they have boen
sucking from us to carry the elec
tion. They are sharpers and have
made it a study for years how to
keep the one gallus boys under
thoir thumb. Should they get in
power again we will have to pay
dear for all this big talk we have
had to them. But we have them
by the nape of the neck and let us
hold them. They make out like
it is Tillman they are fighting, but
it is not so. it is the Alliance and
the Farmers' Movement, they are
fighting.
I notice the Edgefield Chronicle
is harping on the $3. poll tax. Well
suppose the Legislature passes it ;
I think it would be a good thing
for.us, as we could then run our
_.. . . t
schools from six to eight ^months,
instead of two and a half and three'
months. If we send our children'
after that we have to pay .$1.50 per^
scholar per month, For five months!
it would be $7.50. So 3*011 see by
paying the $3 poll tax we could"'
run our schojis ~LX-' or aigh.t;
months.
I know you ring fellows feel bad,,
but I hope you will get used to it.'
Some of your Sheep have died,
from close shearing, and it will not;
be long till shearing time again,
my advice would be for you to take
a dose of Tillman's liver regulator'.'
If you do that you may get through,

Before I close I want .to ask how.

other words, Jibe Farmers' 'Move
ment? Please look around, I think
you will find them scarce. Some

you think this will do for the one"

Words For Yo?iijg* Men;
In a recent number of, the'
"Young Mah,"' Prof. John Stuart
Blackie publishes an interesing
vvaticle on reminiscences of his
youth Like a lady's letter, the most
important part of it is the
postscript, in which he sets down
a- few of the rules of conduct
ivhich have guided him throught?"
life, and which he has no doubt
have contributed largely to any
praiseworthy work that he has
been able, :n the course of a long
life, to achieve. Here are some of
the rules:
1. Never indulge the notion
that you have any absolute right
to choose the sphere or the circum
stances in which you are to put
forth your powers ; but let your
daily wisdom of life be in making
a. good use of the opportunities
given you.
2. We live in a real, and a solid,
and a truthful world. In such a
world onl}' truth, in the long run,
can hope to prosper. Therefore,
avoid lies, mere show and sham,
and hollcw superficiality of all
kinds, which is, at the' best,a
painted lie. Let whatever youare,
and whatever you do, grow out of
a firm root of truth and a strong
soil of reality.
3. Th? nobility of life is work.
We live in a working World. The
lazy and idle man does not count
in the plan of, campaign. "My
father worketh hither to, and I
work.' Let that text be enough.
. 4. Never forget St. Paul's sen
tence "Love is the fnlfilling/of the
law," This is the steam of the
social machine.
' ;5:- . But the steam requires
regulation. It is regulated by
intelligence and moderation.
Healthy action. is always^ arJial?,
ance of forces,' and all. extremes
are dangerous.
- 6. po one thing well. "Be a*
whole thing at one time." Make
clean work, and leave no tags.
Allow no delays when' you arc at
athing;doit, and be done with
it.
Thc Fall of the Graduate.
The old mau, the old woman and
the - children had traveled ten
miles in an ox cart to see the
young man graduate. It had cost
the old man-all the cash in sight
to give his boy the chance, and
now he was going to see him dis-:
tinguish himself. He arrived, and
found his son in the hall, talking
with three professors. The young
man glared at him in gold eye
glasses and yellow shoes. "I be
lieve you are my father?" he said,
with condescension, "but really,
you're quite disguised in that old
hickory-striped shirt. Pull it oh'
as soon as you can:"' I'll lend you
one of my white ones. And, moth
er, I must see your milliner. You
look a fright in that bonnet. And
that little cotton-head chap-my
brother, I believe-why don't you
dye his hair? He's in bad taste,
you know ! And, father, send the
ox cart home by your footman. I'll
hire a carriage, you know. Oh,
I've got lots to learn you. Just
wait till I get home !"
.While the graduate was going
on in this style the dumbfounded
old man was slowly divesting him
self of his home-made coat, and
as slowly rolling up the sleeves o?
his hickory-striped shirt. Then
he fell upon the graduate's neck,
and tho latter fell upon the floor,
before the^ astonished* professors.
"Sit on his head, old woman !'3
shouted the old man, "and hand
me that buggy trace, Jimmy. Wy,
tho darned onery critter's done
fergot his raisin,! That's it,
Maria ! Hold him down, while I
frail the life outen' him!"
And ten minutes later the grad
uate, minus the gold eyeglasseE
and the yellow shoes, was being
hauled home in the ox cart, and
his mother was wondering if a
flaxseed poultice wouldn't hea]
his head.

CAMPAIGN REFLECTIONS.
Something for L. W. Youmaiis
to Put iii His Pipe and Smoke.
EDITOR REGISTER: It hus been
impossible for the Register to
report all of the speeches af each
of the meetings, as your available
?pace was general j filled" by the
time you got through with the
leading speeches of Govornor
j Tillman, Sheppard, Gary and Orr.
;r The most interesting parts, and
the real fun of the?campaign, has
"been in the closing speeches and
-scenes after Youmaus began his
maniac dance in his -attempt to
make'some reputation, or rather
notoriety, by assailing Governor
.Tillman. It has been the policy
of the opposition to put You man s
up immediately after Governor
^Hillman, which of course gives
the Governor no opportunity of
replying to Youmans if he should
wish to do so, though he has an
nounced that he would take no
uotice of, nor pay any attention
to, Youmans during the canvass,
being perfectly assured of the
.fact that Yonmans has been
?elected, and has run for Secretary
of State, confessedly for the pur
pose of attacking the Governor.
:It may as well be stated just here,
that the opposition to Governor
Tillman, so far as the speakers are
^concerned, has dwindled into
insignificance, for Orr has deserted
abd Sheppard has already broken
down, neither of them being at all
able. to cope with so formidable an
adversary. In the first ten days
of the campaign it has become
evident that it is a farce, and the
opposition has been reduced to
the necessity of relying solely
upon the personal canvass and
attacks of L. W. Youmaus, by
which it is hoped to annoy and
provoke Governor Tillman or his
friends into some indiscre
tion.
Otherwise the caiupign \bas
worked very smoothly ; but as the
purpose of Youmans and his
friends is very ' plain, let us say
here, as a very plain and unmis
takable warning, that should the
lion at any time become enraged
and put his foot upon the mouse
and demolish him, or should You
maus provoke a very unfortunate
affair of any kind with any per
son or persons in this campaign,
the responsibility therefor must
rest where it properly belongs, on
the shoulders of those who have
caused it.
Governor Tillman has evidently
tried to conduct himself in an
easy and ' unobjectionable way,
and endeavored to secure a fair
hearing for hie opponents, Colonel
Youmans included. It cannot be
denied that at Kingstree, before
he-left the platform, that Governor
Tjjliman not only asked but make
the'erowd pledge itself to listen to
and not interrupt Youmans, and
that if they could not keep quiet,
to go away from the stand until
he had finishd.
If; it had not been for J;his pledge,
Youmans would have Been treated
a?'-hgjvas. at Walter boro, where
general'?arle^ -had to interpose
to "begrfor hita even "a partial
he?rin'g.
It is a notable fact, and one
that should not be forgotten, that
Charleston behaved even worse
than Colleton, and rivalled, if sha
didnotsurpass, any place in the
State in the "howling down"
process, but the News and Courier
did not have any head lines, such
as "Charleston disgraced,"as she
did in the Colleton case.
It is well to remark that Colonel
Youmans has provoked his own
discomfiture at various places
by his own peculiar schedue, and
but.for tho presence and ?pleading
of opponents like Tillman he would
not be' tolerated by many, of the
crowds he will have to meet. If
the .opposition press continue their
misrepresentation, as at) Kings
tree, and Youmans continues his
pr esent tactics, after the Charles
ton example, we would not be
surprised to sea "forbearance
cease to be ? virtue, "and the crowd
utterly refuse to listen to him at
all. I
Fortunately these foolish
attempts to excite bitter feeling
and discord and strife' on the part
of Colonel Youmaus. have fallen
flat on the crowds who have heard
them, and they have been so
adroitly mat by other 'speakers
that he has left every place he
has been to as "the good butt for
a joke/' or laughing stock of
every audience before which he
has appeared.
It will be a long time before
L. W. ("Lo: g Winded") Youmans,
as General Farley called him at
Kingstree, will Be forgotten ae
a most ludicrous figure in the
campaign, his vanity and self
glorification having brought down
the wit and humor of everyone
upon him. His many nicknameE
will stick to him as long as he
lives, ' but .there is some hope of
his-returning to a sane condition,
since General Farley has crossed
him with his rabbit foot as he did
at Bonneau. Nothing else would
have saved him.
A LOGER-OF' VIENNA,
"The author of a greai
reformation is, always unpopulai
in his own age. Ile generally
passes his life in disquiet anti
danger. It is therefore for thc
interest of the human race that
the memory of such men shoult
be bad in reverence, and that the)
should be supported against thc
scorn j. and hatred of then
contemporaries by the hope ol
leaving a great and imperishable
name. To go on the forlorn hopi
of truth is a service of peril-whe
will undertake ir,(if it be not al sc
a service of honor? It is e?sj
enough, after the ramparts ari
carried, to find men to plant thi
flag on the topmost tower. Th<
difficulty is to find men who ar
ready to go first into the breach.'
-LORD MACBULEY.
A great person is known by hi
calumniators.
Tho Romans fixed twenty-five
as the arbitrary age of majority,
defining infancy as under seven,
childhood as under fourteen, and
adolescense as running thence
upwards. There are two classes of
childhood-from seven to ten and
a-half, and thence to fourteen. By
the Institutes of Justian no child
uuder ten and a-half years was
liable to punishment. But by
English and American Jaw the
capacity of doing wrong or
contracting guilt is not so much
measured by years and days as
by strength of the delinquent's
judgment and character. "Wa all
know that one lad of nine j may
have as much counning as another
of fourteen ; but the great Sir
Matthew Hale ventured the other
arbitrary opinion that it was
against nature to suppose an
infant under seven years of age
capable of felon)*, but that his
capacity might begin at eight!
Pike's History of Crime mention
a boy of nine who was reprieved
after conviction for killing a
comqanion, and one of ten who
was hanged for a similar crime
At Abingdon in England, during
the last century, a boy of eight
was hanged for. firing two barns,
because it appeared that he was
instigated by "malice, cunning,
and revenge." "But," says the
great Blackstone, "in all cases
evidence of malice, in order that
it may bridge the chasm of doubt
created by youth, ought to be
