Cotton has advanced nearly a cent since the cotton season open ed, and the predictions are . that ii will advance a half cent this week, . . ^ , Gov. Tillman, Treasurer .Bates: and Congressman Brawley leave ir a short time for New York, whithei they go for the pftrpose of refund ing the State debi.. The Governor has appointee Friday, Oct. 21st, a general holi day and day of Thanksgiving, ii commemoration of the four hun dreth anniversary of the discover} of America by Colnmbus. The Cotton Plant is about t< move again. It was started a Marion, S. C., thence removed t* Greenville, thence to Orangeburg thence to Columbia, and now i goes back to Greenville. This las removal involves an entire chang of business and editorial manage ment. The Columbia Register is an thority for the statement tha Col. John C. Haskell on his wa home after the convention wa heard to say in reference to Till man's speech of acceptance : "H did damned well, and was mud more dignified than I had an; idea he could be." William E. Russell has receive his fifth nomination for Goveruc of Massachusetts from the hand of the Democracy of that State The unwritten law against thir terms doesn't seem to have roue force in the Bay State. The Colum bia State will probably sunnis from this remark that the ADVEB TIBER is hinting and squinting a a third term for Gov. Tillman. THAT WONDERFUL MARS Nancy Hanks, the wonderfu mare that beat Maud S., has agaii lowered her own record. Her lae time is a mile in two minutes an< four seconds. She was driven to i sulky with pneumatic tires an< ball bearing. The mare was accompanied b; the runner, Abe Lincoln. The traci received but little moro attentioi than for other races, beyond om extra scrape and dragging. Th< day was fair, not hot and a lien breeze stirred. The mare startet at full speed. The first quarte: wag made in 31, the runner gallop ing ' furiously behind her. He: gait was steady as a steam drivel piston. The half was reached ii 1.02f. The third quarter pole wai passed in 1.32?, and the mile wa trotted in two minutes and fou seconds without a break or a sho\ of uneasiness or overdriving. Th< best quarter was in twenty-nim and three-quarters. The last hal was ?n one and one-quarter. GET TOGETHER. -' The nomination ot Paris Simp kins for; Congress against Talbert ought to bring the white people, of every shade of opinion and preju dice, together as one man. Let the shibboleth be "white supremacy now and^for all time." We may quarrel among ourselves, but when it comes to a race issue, let the -white man -remember that God Almighty has made the distinc tion,, and accursed be he who would alter the decree of heaven. IS GABY ELIGIBLE? '/Under the above head ting the Charleston News and Courier indulges in the following logical sequences upon premises which do not exist. Maj. Gary is not a candidate for the State senate. The news and Courier is evidently afflicted with Gary-phobia : The Lancaster Ledger says that the Hon Ernest. Gary has sent his resignation to Speaker Jones as a member of the House of Represen tatives from Edgefield County be cause "his being a. member of the Legislature would make him ineligible as "Elector." We do not believe that holding such an office would make Mr Gary ineligible as Elector, but it is greatly to his credit that he should relieve the question of all doubt by resigning his seat in the House. .Having gone thus far, however, Mr Gary will have to take another step and either retire from the race for Senator from Edgefield County or withdraw his name as a candidate for Preis dential elector. He will be elected to the Senate and Elector at the election in November, and if it be true that he would be ineligible as Elector while a member of the House, he will certainly be inelig ible to serve as: Elector after hav ing been elected State Senator. Section 135 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, pro vides that "the Electors for each State shall meet and give their votes upon the first Wednesday in December in the year in which they were appointed, at such place, in each State, as the Legis lature of such State shall di rect." Mr Gary will be elected State Senator from Edgefield Couu ty on November 8; he will take his 8eatas State Senator on Novem ber 22 ; he will have to give his vote as Elector on December 7, two weeks after he has taken hiB seat as State Senator. If he is ineligible as Elector because he is a member of the House, he will be ineligible as Elector after he has : been elected Senator. > But there is another view of Mr Gary's case. In our opinion he is not ineligible as Elector because he is a member of tho House nor will hi s election as Senator render .him ineligible as" Elector; but ? there appearsHt?~be no doubt that his election as Elector will rehder him ineligible to a seat in the General Assembly. The ' State Constitution is perfectly clear on this point. It is a serious question and we hope Mr Gary will bestow his best legal thought upon it. It appears to us that he could hold both omces without prejudice to his vote as Elector, but if he exercises the duties of Elector he cannot sit in the Senate. It Costs You Nothing.

A raw onion chewed slowly and swallowed without undue haste, will destroy the odor of ice cream from the breath. ?Van" Star?? Visits Aiken Where he Has Some Wonderful Ex periences in a Cow Pen. Mr. EDITOR : Owing to the fact that my last piece did not come out in your paper, I have since been a little careless about writing, but as John Blake thinks I will write ! shall not disappoint him. In regard to our trip to Aiken county, I will say. it was marked by many peculiar expeiences. The place we visited was near Montmorency In this visit some new ideas presented themselves to as. At one place, we saw away over in the field a very small pas ture which was quite picturesque. The cows in the pasture had actually eaten the top off the land. The way in whioh we mad? this discovery was that a fence crossed the old field and on one 3ide a small coat of we?ds grew, tvhile on the other, where the sows were, the land looked like Bnow. The truth is that the peo ple down there are about twenty live years behind the tims. We attended Doran Church, and the people were very kind indeed. The girls of the neigh borhood entertained us very nicely. Look out, ye knights of Clinton ward! Ye are endangering your joys greatly when ye are designa ting to us the beauties and intelli gence of your Mt. Willing blonde. Other young men you must remem ber, can be fascinated. One young man near here was badly, disappointed the other day when his anticipated told him she couldn't marry a graduate. We think this young man would do well to try to forget some of his education. If I am judge, this is quite a mortifying test. Mr. O. D, Towles tells us that Parksville has as much attraction for him as the magnetic pole hae fur the needle which never wearies. He speaks of the sac red spot that gives habitation tc his girl in the most affectionate manner. "Oh ! on thy hills I long to be, And all thy glories see, But why should I for other mouin, When there's no sigh for me," Miss Rosa McCarthy, of Mt. Willing, is visiting Miss Jose phine Little at this place. VAN STAR. Franklin Items. MR. EDITOR: The Rev. J. M White was present at Antioch las! 4th Sabbath. He preached with i much caxnectnARH to an attentive audience. Antioch has called hin to fill the appointments of Mr Booth for the remainder of' the I year, and service will be held or the 2nd and 4th Sabbaths in ead: month at ll o'clock ?. M., insteac of in the afternoon as heretofore. A Sunday School was organized at Barr's Chapel on the 4th Sun day in September, with Mr. E. W Dowty as Superintendant and R L. Boddie as Bible class teacher. Misses Anna and Mattie Robert j sion and Lizzie Eubanks spent th< night with Mrs. W. M. Gleni Tuesday night of last week. Bye bye, girls; don't forget to teasi Miss A-about him. September the 9th witnessed ; I gathering Of the pretty girls ant handsome and gallant gentlemei at the pleasant home ot Mr. Jamei Burnett for the purpose of havinj a moonlight ride. The moon neve shone more gloriously bright thai on that night. Among those wh< went were Misses Rena, Lem ie and Leila Duffie, Charlie Whatley John Bookhart, Rose Etheredge and James Duffie. Gathering corn is now the orde of the day, and there's a nice quan tity of it in this neighborhood, toe Distant notes of the " 'possum hunters' horn now ring nightl; through the woods. Mr. W. M Glenn captured an Old one witl four smaller ones, but was so un fortunate as to leave the door o their place of safe-keeping inse ! curely fastened, and they now rul noses with their former associates Misses Mamie Lanier and Anni and Mattie Robertson called on u last week. Come again, girls, wi I enjoyed that visit. Mr. M. S. Bigham had a cori husking Friday night of last week IGNOTA. Franklin, S. C. Woman has to wait until she i asked before she can marry.

Nonius's. Our Bright and Witty ??Xan . thippe". Gomes to the Feront Again. DEAR MR. EDITOR : The early fall is upon us, not the' f?ll of man, but the fall of the year, that sickly season when the sun beats down on your head in an aggressive manner, suggestive of chills and ty phoid fever, when the leaves put on an unhealthy y ello w,and musca dines, maypops, (passion flower fruit,)and wild grapes are rampant. We feel as blissful as. one might imagine after a two days visit from sick-headache. Those who fall heir to headache of this kind should be exempt from all other [human ills, for surely this j is the direst. The bustle and trade of fall is afloat in the land.King Cotton rides by daily and hourly with his retinue, a wagon, four mules and J a darkey. We think cotton a fraud these uncertain times, but perhaps, as the Northern wizard predicts, prices may advance. Edgefield's graded school com menced on Monday last with a trio of teachers, and under pleasing anspices. Give every boy and girl an education if you can, preparatory to the desperate fight of life. This is said to be the woman's century, and industries are opening up to them far and wide, such as drawing and painting (art studies) music, teaching, hospital nursing, type writing, dressmaking, cooking school, and the vocation of physician and minister, or any girl can get married who can cook dainty meal. Any of these vocations are too masculine for us, therefore Mr. Editor, when you rise Phoenix like from the ashes, as you have already sueceeded iu doing, engage us for your travell ing correspondent. You know Nellie Bly went around the world in about forty days. While on the staff of the N. Y. Herald, (so we speak of an engage ment on the staff ot your paper,) we attended the Baptist Church in town, and heard a good sermon, and saw a large and interesting Bible class. Mr. Joe Cantelou makes a fine teacher. The church was unusually full on last Sunday, and we saw a bevy of happy Behool girl's faces. This is quite etupid, so we shall roam around and get some spicy dots, XANTHIPPE. The News at Gaines's DEAR ADVERTISER: Seeing noth ing in your valuable paper from this place we will attempt to sling our pen a little abo?t"1he~nap* penings around Gaines. Mrs. J. M.
