MR EDITOR : On account of not
gotting notices of our meeting in
the county papers iu time for our
regular meeting the 11th, and after
consulting with neighboring physi
cian, I have decided to call a
mfletihg Wednesday, after 4th

meeting and business of impor
ta nc-? wi il come up.
D. A. J. BELL M. D., President
Parksville S. C.
Matters in Meriwether.
Everything has been very quiet
and orderly in these parts, so much
so that it was becoming monoto
nous, and one could almost wish
something would turn up just for
a change.
A fatal accident occurred near
here this morning (Oct. 12th). A
negro man, Mose Wooden, had
taken his gun to clean and oil it,
and as he was unbreeching it, the
gun fired, killing instantly his
wife,'who was setting near by. The
jury of inquest was called, and
gave a verdict of "accidental
shooting." They were industrious
and well-to-do negroes, and well
thought of by all classes.
Theie are a great many negroes
in this section of the county, but
there is only now and then a case
of petty theft, no occasion for
lynch law. Your correspondent
thinks that this lynching business
is grossly abused in various sec
tions of the country. Thoughtful
people begin to fear serious conse
quences will come of it ultimately,
and those who are now aiding and
abetting it will live to regret it.
By the way, 'tis quits a puzzle to
understand how,' in a given com
munity where nearly the whole
population take part in a lynch
court, that a coroner's jury can re
port upon oath, "Came to his death
by unknown parties/"
Corn and cotton crops are very
short in this township-not more
than half a crop. The cotton is
nearly all out of the fields, and
what is worse, nearly out of the
hands of the farmers, at a ruinous
price. The farmers will have to
buy meat and bread another year.
'Tis unfortunate, not to say foolish,
for a farmer to depend upon one
one product for everything, espe
cially when the terms and the time
of selling that crop are dictated by
the buyer.
After all, if the farmer is ever
to be independent he will have 11
work out his own salvation, finan
cially. How? By diversifying.
Let him first raise his own meat
and bread, then some cotton, some
tobacco and fruit, Where there is
a good market accessible, as it is
here, an acre in winter cabbage, a
patch of celery, etc., will coin him
more silver aoliars than a dozen
members of Congress who are
simply wishing to "butter their
own bread."
This brings me to ask what haR
become of our boasted majority in
Congress? Has the National Bank
Syndicate been advising them too
as well as the President? Well,
the people are doing more inde
pendent and better thinking than
they used to do; and a day of
reckoning is coming.
I read to-day portions of Senator
Butler's speech on the silver ques
tion. It reminds me of the days
of long ago, when McDuffie and
Hayne and other giants were in
Congress. He spoke earneetly,
eloquently, and the president's
gavel could not restrain the ap
plause from a crowded gallery.
There are some who have not yet
bowed the knee to Mammon.
Capt. James DeLaughter, I see
is in Prof. White's school. He is
right. Burns says,
Gather gear by any wile,
That's justified by honor * * *
* * For the sake of being independent.

Items from Elmwood.
MR. KDITOR : Mr. Jackson Park
man died a few days ago in the
ninety-third year of his age. He
was a kind and unoffensive man,
and labored honestly and indus
triously for his Pupport through
life, and worked faithfully as long
as he was able to do manual labor.
In his declining years he had a
dutiful son, Mr. Thomas Parkman,
who kindly supported and made
his loving father comfortable to the
end of life.
Crops in this community are
tolorably good, much better than
we thought they would be after the
storm ; about three-fourths of a
corn and cotton crop will be made.
Farmers are in a push now, gath
ering their corn and cotton, so as
to sow wheat and oats. Very few
oats having been sowed before the
storm in cotton land, and after the
storm the cotton was down so bad
that it was impossible to plow
them in.
Much success and good wishes

A Remarkable Experiment.
Atlanta Consttation.
After sixty years of restir?te d
suffrage, Belgium, under her new
constitution is about to try a
startling experiment.
The new law gives a vote to
everv male citizen who has reach
ed the age of twenty-five.
A married man who pays taxes,
or a tax-paying bachelor of thirty
five, is entitled to an extra vote.
A third vote is given to a citizen
of independent means, possessing
a certificrte of high education, or
who holds or has held a public
office of a certain rank.
It is believed that every hus
band will place his extra vote at the
disposal of his wife, thus indirectly
giving her the elective franchise.
Under the new constitution the
numbei of voters in Belgium will
leap from 150,000 to 12,200,000.
A well-equipped Belgian will
aow be able to cast a vote on elec
tion day just after breakfast, and
if he feels greatly interested in the
campaign he can stick in another
vote at dinner time, and still
onther on his way home to supper.
When the voter feels muddled
over a big question he can go to
the polls like a man and put in
two votes-one on each side of the
buming issue. He can pair off
with himself, nulify his first in
discreet vote, and make sure of
being in the right by standing
squarely on two platforms.
Tho Belgium system would be a
a God-Bend to some of our yellow
faced friends of silver.
Poor People!
Yorkeville Ennuirer.
The people, poor people I Oh,
what crimes are committed in the
name of the people! Just now
those few Senators who are stand
ing out against the demonetizetion
crime, represent more people than
was ever before represented by the
same number of men. The fact
that the House voted for the un
conditional repeal is no indication
whatever of the people. It is a well
known fact that one man with a
million dollars, has more influence
than a thousand men with only
a thousand dollars each. Neither
the majority in the House or the .
Senate are representing the peo
ple. They are representing a few
millionaires. Dishonest? No, there
is no need to say anything about
their honesty. They probably
think a mau who has made a
man who has made a million dol
lars ought to know moro about
finance than one who has never
made anything; therefore, they
esteem it tho proper thing to re
present the money of the country
rather than the peopte.
A Big Orange Crop,
Augusta Chronicle.
Oranges ought to be very plenti
ful and jeosonable in price this
year. The crop of thi3 year is es
timated at a million boxes larger
than last year, and there seems to
be no end to the development of
the Florida crop. In 1885 the yield
of Florida was 1 VX)0,000 boxes ; laBt
year's crop was 3,450,000 boxes,
and this yeor's crop is estimated
in the Manufacturer's Record at
4,500,000.
At the present rate of progress
it will not take many years to
furnish more oranges than this
country will comsume, and the
Forida growers are airead looking
about for a European market. It
is not improbable that the Port
Royal line of Steamers may secure
some shipments of Florida oranges
for the other side this winter.
We do not wish the Florida
growers any bad luck and hope
they may be able to dispose of all
their crop at profitable figureB but
at the same time it is a matter of
congratulation that the crop is BO
large as to insure plenty of the
luscious fruit, and at prices within
the reach of all.
A KILLING FBOST.
Cotton Seriouly Injured in the
Mississippi Valley,
MEMPHIS, Terni., Oct 15.-A
killing frost .fell in this section
last night, greatly injuring crops
andvegation. The cotton crop will
be cut short 15 or 20 per cent, and
in the lowlands the top crop will
be a failure. The frost seems to
have been genaro! throughout the
Mississippi valle\\
A report to the Commercial from
Vickaburg. Miss., Eays: Cotton
and other tender vegetation in the
low lands was nipped by a frost
this morning in this portion of
Mississippi, and heavy frosts are
reportud in Northern Lonisiana,
where a a much lower temperature
is recordad. Owing to(the drought
and other causes, the damage will
be great.
A special fjom Canton,M?88.,say8:
The cold wave that struck this
section on the 12th resulted this
morning in a white frost. Sheets
of ice were also seen in shady
places. Considerably damage will
result to late cotton, as a great deal
is still umatured.
A dispatch from Greenville,Miss,
says : The first frost of the season
fell here thie morning, killing all
tender vegetation and doing con
siderable damage to cotton.
Worst Character in the World.
Texas Advocate.
The backbiter is the worst I
character in any country.-. J
An old tale-bearer, a whisperer,
an insinuator, exercising
nods and winks as good as to
say: "I know some awful things
if I were a-mind to .speak out."
Such people are the devil's best
friends and are to be shunned and
dreaded by every good man and
woman on earth. If there is any
thing really wrong ina man or
woman, leta complaint be lodged
at once in the proper place and
before the proper authorities. Do
not go around carrying a knife for
for a brother until you catch him
off his guard and then assassinate
him. The assassin is the dread of I
all brave or honest men. Be frank,
fair and honest with a brother end
talk the matter ove r between
yourself and him-if you have
aught of censure-and do not
freeze your own soul and blacken
his good name by murderous winks
and innuendoes.

INSTITUTE.
THE Trustees announce to the pub
lic that this school will open on

with a recess of one week at Christ-1
mas. There will be three departments,
each carefully graded :
The Primary, embracing 2 years.
The Intermediate, embracing 4 years.
The Academic, embracing 4 years.
Provision is also made for Music and
Art Departments, under competent
teachers. Arrangements for studies
higher than the Academic will be made
hereafter, if it be deemed best to do so.
The rates of tuition will be as follows :
In the Primary Department, first
and second years, per month.. $ 1.001
lu the Intermediate Department,
1st and 2nd years, per month.. 2.001

month. 4.001
In the Art Department, per
month. 3.001

ed the pro rata amount allowed for
each pupil from the public school fund.
The trustees have committed this
school to the management of
Dr. L. R. GWALTNEY.
He will be aided in each department j
by competent teachers. It will be seen
that the basis of financial support)
which has been in operation for sev
eral years has been abandoned, the
trustees having fully decided that it
is better to have fixed rates of tuition
for all pupils. If the citizens of Edge
lield will heartily stand by "The In
stitut?," they will have a good school
in which they may take a commenda
ble pride. The Principal is well known.
He returns to Edgefield to become the
pastor of the Baptist Church, and to
give his matured experience to the
work of educating our boys and girls.
Good board can be had for $8 to $10
per month.
