CORRESPONDENCES News Items f i-cm the New Post Office, Cle?ra, in tlie Vicinity of Old Dornsville. MR. EDITOR : This being tho first tender of news from our new post office I hope it will appear in print. The weather being very warm and favorable and present growing crops dampened by frequent" light showerSjWe can seethey are growing fast. The reaping of small grain has been quite a task, but m?st of our tasks have been finished in that line. The blackberry crop is ready for gathering, and it is fine, and while picking for a pie the fair sex often stain their fine^kid gloves rather than tehir tiny fingers. We all welcome most heartily our new and handsome little friend Joe Z. Cartledge, being only two weeks old now, but when Ben dies maybe he will be old enough to sit in the, "big chair." First boy says: "I'm going to the Worlds Faisr in '9% and have a goodrtime."" Second-boy: "Let's make upa band of four or five, and..we can have a better time." Third boy: "Let's win us one a piece, make it one bridal tour, and we can have abestiime." Win boys ; always have the best. FARMER DOX. Minc Creek Dots. MR. EDITOR: Our Mine- Creek section is on a boom. You know we can't be behind. But while we are on this boom I hope we will not endanger the progress of re ligion, for I heard a fellow say Ihe other day that he came very near not coming to meeting that day. I asked him why? He' said: "I didn't want to leave, my little babV." " I, wonder if all men love their babies this way. Wonder if "John Blake" could give me any information on the subject. The old sap-suckers keep on bothering me. I know I ought not to pay any attention to them, but the other day one excited my curi osity. I was going along Inisurety, and all at once I heard a very keen whack up in a tree. I looked, and behold, a sap-sucker had. stove hie bill* ipto the tree hard and fast and couldn't get it out. I studied and thought over such a phenome non for some time. I first tried tc solve it by the. laws of philosophy Youkncv fV*"-rt ;r r> h) philoSO}- ->:-::.'.> distruct. . ill cr? are* things;- . vy--? o* . ' .. cito "atc ? . ? .' destr?ye? "-:<.;.:. ?.? things ; ' .?mv -tmo stances are constantly changinj their form. So I tried to reasoi that, perhaps, this sap-sucker ha< meditated changing his form, bu that did not give me satisfaction and I continued my study, ponder ing .over what such a thing coull mean. I was walking along whe: suddenly I happened to think o the solution to the problem, an the happiness I enjoyed at m great discovery cannot be esti mated. The solution was that a the sap-sucker stuck his bill in th wrong place and couldn't get i out, and would be, ih a short tim* physically deac? so Mr. John Sher pard had stuck his bill in at th wrong place and the wrong tim and he too was, and is, political! dead. But Gov. Tillman In'es yes, lives in the^very hearts ar souls of his one-gallus boys. Boy stick to your man. I don't belier there is another man in'the Sta that would have fought your ba ties for you as he has done. Gi1 him courage. He knows the de; ojd farmer, raised to toil and har ships, will stick to him, therefor he. does not hesitate to fight for u The farmer must support tl world, and why not rule it? It an absurd thought that our k glove friends can boss us polil cally always. If there be an hone class of men it is the farme: There can be no cheat in diggii your living out of the land. Wh you get is what God gives you af reward for your labors. Again, the $3 poll tax lawwou bo a blessing to us. Who wou mind paying that small amoi for the education and elevation the young. If that had been suggestion of Mr. Sheppard thc "journalists" and demagogues w oppose it would have advocated because any reasonable man mi admit it to be beneficial, as would make the negro populati of this State support their O' schools as well as the white. I hs heard a few honest Sheppard m say they advocated the $3 poll ti Those were men that were not biased in their views, , and rete less in their hate,?hat not even i wants of the poor orphans, or I helpless could move their sy pathy. We hope the people of our d< old State will be united after election, and work together for general goori, realizing that majority will, and should, rule Farming is going on finely ' us. The grass has given us a r tight struggle,, but we are gail ground. Capt. E. B. Forrest has rel his fish pond, and the boys Ind in bathing there every. Sun You had better look out boj heard the Captain was . goinj stick up a sharp pointed sc; blade in there, which will pi fatal to those who unfortuna hit if. The girls of our vicinity, for major part, still remain pre Now and then you pee one as i as the mischief, but this is their fault; just their misfortu and we try to put up with it.

EDITOR: AS you \ well ku ow orylast Monday mo ing under the supervision of efficient School Commissioner, J. B.. Hill, the" Teachers' Instit was held at the Academj'. It1 ably conducted by Dr. Lam President of the Williamston male College, assisted by ". Spessard, of Blacksburg, and '. Rankin, of Columbus, Ga. It proved a summer solstice deed, and in spite of those seor ing rays that beamed down uj the earth, Edgefield came out e* day and was admonished, structed, and entertained by t trip. Each lecture was illustr?t . the exercises ranging from. 1 Kindergarten methods to the hij est blanch of science. Mr. Spessard's talk on mat] na" jcs would have done honor Archimedes himself, and we a liked his lectures on school g< eminent, and grammer, and m , veiled at his insight into all 1 bewildering methods of this- p gressive age. Dr. Lander taught us somethi new and delightful about hea\ and earth, and the powers of da; ness, ocean and its wonders, BI moon and stars, and old earth ' glittering star itself, with , "mountain chains, rivers, val deserts, and cultured cities. God made this wonderful ear I and science has bolted it wi electricity, learning is the pov that makes it throb"and pant.a move along.

We kno however, that God approves us ., we do our duty. The hummi bird that dips down into the flow bell, or the kingly eagle that dash his wings in the sun, each fills 1 alloted sphere. ' Mr. Rankin made history specialty, and carried us ba ^ 'through the corridors of til from Adam and Eve in the Gard of Paradise, all along the da . ages, from the days of wick . Queen Bess to the days of go Queen Victoria, and through t annals of wars and conquests. \ j sawT Columbus as he planted 1 foot on the shore of a new woi ' with the flag of Spain unfurlc Mr. Rankin in his manner, speec . and acting is crisp and flashii ja the Aurora Borealis glittering < ,j Arctic snow.

The appearanc the audience showed me that: correct in my judgment out done." It certainly spoke we the teacher. Keep her by means patrons, for I think it be a sad day for Red Hill l you let Miss Willie go. Another bright feature ol evening was piano playing Miss Kilpatrick, the music tea< during the drills. In this fei special attention was given to change . from the march to quickstep movement, this h done instantaueouely, and a same time very smoothly. -1 her name was Kilpatrick, but i her bright, pretty, and happy and from what I have heard, 3 very much of the.opinion th is Kill-Joe, Kill-Sam,.

I v now mention some of them, v Esq. Morton, Double-chin She: * Thurmond, the Harrisons, Perri Burtons, Belchers, ; Taylc Mundys, Andersons; Whites, Sh e pards, Yeldells, Hiblers, Spenc? Dr3.

These good pe , pie would meet at Liberty H: once a week to discuss the follow 1 ing subjects : First, the health the country, then the crops ai religion, but little would be sa about politics. Then some one the. party would ' ask, is there ar poor man in our vicinity who t, sick or behind in his crop and it so we must send hands enough ne: it Monday to work him jout, whic ic was always done.

In 1849 there was a North C lina wagon passed through jountry selling Rochelle bl berry roots and had some of berries with him. I bought s and they would grow as large guinea egg when cultured. I saw persons to-day gathe blackberries apparently as larg the Rochelle berries. So the pie -in this country are heal and will have plenty as long blackberries last. Suffice it to that they are a well-to-do pe andado live well without the ries. Those men above mentioned \ generally large men, cx< Spencer, and rode fine fat ho] and I wjll here tell you a li joke on one of them.

An Interview With Gov. Tillman in The Columbia State. In talking of the Third party danger in this State connection with tho national situation, Governor Tillman said that he foresaw before he loft here that there was almost a certainty of an electoral ticket of the Third party being placed in the field in this State. Continuing, he said: "But whether we can keep it off or not I cannot attempt to say. I can't say what is going to be done, but I fear that wc are going to have a Third party attempt. I will fight it because I believe it means unlimited trouble and disaster to the peeple of;the State." He called attention to the edi torial appearing in the Cotton Planta -Jew days ago which was Third party ism all over, and remarkod thaC "Stokes is pledged to support the ticket, as all tho rest of us are." When aaked if he thought the Sep?t,'mher convention woald endorse the nomination of Cleve land, he said: "Of course it will-that is, that's the way it looks to me now. However it is entirely too early for me to give any opinion other than my own, which is, that I ' will support the ticket. I can't say anj'thing else now, but let me attend this week's campaign meetings, and feel the public pulse, although the section of the State to which we are going this week 'is not so much impregnated with Third partyism as the other portions, I can bettor be able to review the situation." In regard to his stand against Cleveland, Governor Tiilman said : "I fought Cleveland's nomination because I thought his policy was wrong; ^because he prejudiced several Southern State, and' because I believed that he could not carry New York. But now I give up my opposition as he is the nominee, and will fight for his success." In regard to the Third party, he requests that the statement be made that he reiterated all <iiat he has ever said concerning the dangers involved in such a movement in this State.^. Goveanoi Tillman said that he did n it , believe Cleveland's nomination would have any effect upon South Carolina State politics. When asked whether, in his opinion, Clevelaad would be elected or nott he -aid there were ..too many contingencies ahead for him at this time to feel warante.d in giving an opinion. It wonld be depend on the treatment that would be accorded the New York D?rnocracy by Cleveland. When asked how the delegation had been treated in Chicago. Governor Tillman said: "We were treated with as much consideration and courtesy as we could have expected." '? AND TALBEBT IS STRONGER STILL. W. J. Talbart has also returned i."fS.l ?. Oiisl'Iei ?j ' importance ir? ? A [nanci .2 r.randr?oi:.t. t emphatically for Cleveland now than the Governor, so those that have talked- with him say, and says that the Alliance will have to stand to the nomination. He regards the convention as having granted much more of the Alliance demands than could have been expected. In regard to the Third Party he is also much more pronounced in his utterances._ Three Million Confederates. Thes tereotyed report of over whelming and overpowering num bers which came up from lost battlefields called out from Mr. Lincoln one of his best anecdotes. An old Illinois friend ofMr.Lincoln who had two sons in the army of the Potomac called to see him at the White House in the summer of 1S92, and feeling a parental solicitutde about the safety of his sons and their chances of success, asked Mr. Lincoln how many men he thought Jeff Davis had in the the field. Lincoln'erspondedthat' Jeff Davis had 3,000,000 men in the ' field. This startled the old man. After regaining his composure he asked Mr. Lincoln how he knew this fact, he replied : "I have 1,000,000 men in the field and whenever one of my generals get whipped down -in Virginia he always says that the rebels had three men to one. Yes, sir, I have 1,000,000 in tho field and Jeff Davis has 3,000,006."-New York world. _ His Time Had Come. "Is there a man in all this audi ence," fiercely exclaimed a famale lecturer, "that has ever done any thing to lighten the burden resting on his wife's shoulder? What do you know of woman's work?" "Is there a man here," she continued, folding her arms, and looking over her audience with superb scorn, "that has ever got up in the morning, leaving his' poor, worn-out wife to enjoy her slumbers, gone down stairs, made the fire, cooked his own breakfast, sewed the missing buttons on the children's clothes, darned the family stockings, scoured the pots and kettles, cleaned and filled the lamps, necessary, day after day' uncomplainingly? If there is such a man in this audi ence, let him rise up. I should like to see him !" And in the rear of the hall, a. mildlooking man in spectacles, in obedience to thc summons, timidly arose. He was the husband of the oloquent speaker. It was tho first time he had ever had tho chance to assert himself. When a man fails on the farm, or in the store, or in professional life, and turns to politics as a business, you may expect the most unscrupulous and knavish conduct.
