Howie has been granted bail by Associate Justico Gary'in tho sum of $1,000, and the requisite bond ha3 been given, which releases Howie from custody pending a new trial. Judge Earle refused to grant bail in this instance. "Mies Florence Adams Darling, founder of the Daughters of the Revolution, has presented to that jrder a valuable collection of let sre, reports of meetings, newspaper clippings, and other matters bear ing upon the subject, all arranged in perfect chronological order, and forming an inteiesting and compact history of the organiza tion, from its inception- to the present day."-Ex. Senator Tillman has returned from his western trip. lie wears on Iiis coat a silver badge, sur mounted by au eagle, uuder which is inscribed 16 to 1. "The Senator say3 he has not tho slightest doubt that the free silver men will have a good work ing majority in the Chicago Con vention and, unless the sound money men are willing to submit to the dictation of the majority, they will have to take th* respon sibility of bolting. At the Spartanburg Convention of last week held in tho in terest of an exhibition of the re sources of the South at Chicago^ Col. Geo. B. Lake was elected as commissioner from Edgefield coun ty. Let Edgefield aid him in eve ry way possible in getting up at least something respectable for and from Edgefield County. The object is a great one and may be "made the means of building up many of our waste places. Wo snail have more to say from time to time of the object and scope of this Chicago exposition for the South. Knitting: Mills. Bamberg is to have a knitting mill, so is Union, so is Lancaster. These " plants cost from ten to fifteen thousand dollars. The knitting mill at Jonesville in Union is thus spoken of by the Union Times : "The building is completed and has the following dimensions: Length, eightv feet, width thirty teen feet. The company has now on hand twenty knitting machines, aud will soon increase to full ca pacity, seventy-five machines. The company has a twenty horse pow er engine, and a twentj'-five horse power boiler, which is sufficient to drive seventy-five machines. At present fifteen machines will run making men's half hose and five will make ladies' half hose, Twenty-five to thirty operatives are employed at present. Each ma chine can make eight dozen pairs of socks per day. This mill will make seamless hosiery, reinforced heels and toes, and will use stam in less dyes. Weight of hese li to 2 ^-jiQunda-per dozen pairs/'.. Tho Palmetto Regiment. The only survivor of the Pal metto Regiment in Charleston at the Confederate Reunion of last week was Qol. Blandiug of Sum ter. He is thus spoken of and speaks, in the News and Courier : "One of the most interesting characters aboard the steamer and one who attracted considerable attention was Col. Blandiug, of Sumter, who is a veteran of two wars and who volunteered for ser vice in the Indian war. N<<ol. Blanding was a captain in tho Mexican army and in the late war was colonel of the Sthygfjgmimrti Hejhadjruilfc^i^ --SralTiforswhile he was telling of the fate of the Palmetto regiment that won glory for the State in its Mexican compaign. The command left the State witn 1,193 men and returned with 232 men, after a servico'of twenty-two months. Of the survivors there now remain but thirty-three, of whom Gen. Dunovant, Gen. McGowan, Lieut. Sumter, Capt. Beard and Col. Blanding are the most generally known. Col. Blanding was tell ing how the old battle flag of the regiment was lost during the late war. It had been sent to Colum bia for safe keeping and some one took it away in the flight from Co lumbia and it has never been heard from since. The flag that was presented teethe rpgknent by Gen. Scott is still in existence, as is the spear head of the flag that was presented by the ladies cf Charleston."

They acted promptly and secured the speedy release of the^'r missionary. ' CORRESPONDENCE ?A CARD. To THE PUBLIC : Inasmuch as th c report has gone abroad through out the county, that I would be cai.didate for the office of County Su^rvisor, and, as I have con duced not to make the . race, I think it meet and proper that I should BO announce. I am not in the race for that or any other of fice-I have a better job. Respectfully, Jxo. C. STROTHER. A Reformer Who is Still a Re former, Bat Proposes to Vote for Better Men in thc Fu ture. On yesterday evening, Friday, the 24th, a severe storm passed over here, (Meeting Street) blow ing down fences and trees, but not doing much damage otherwise. Raia accompanied the storm, but not half enough as wo were need ing it badly. Wheat and oats can not make unless they have plenty of rain, neither can coru and cot ton come up to a stand without moisture. I am glad to say that the low price of cotton in 1894 and 1895 did the country much good, al though farmers could not see it at the time, it was ablessing so thor oughly disguised. Five cents cot ton forced them to make corn and bacon, while if cotton had brought nine and ten cents the country would have been bare of provi sions. These same farmers used to Hay "it is cheaper to buy corn, flour, lard, bacon, butter, milk, axe aud hoe handles, hames," in fact they bought everything ex cept cottou and depended on cot ton to pay for it. The result was big crops of cotton and low prices. But last year the crop fell off two million bales or more, asa conse quence the price wpnt- up a little tie and having made corn and ba con the farmer was ou a better footing. However iu this year, of grace, 1896, they are agaiu turn ing over the frying pan and pour ing the fat into the fire by plant ing a large crcp of cotton, and it will take. a crop large enough to run the price down to 2? cen's, per pound to bring'em to their senses. Wo farmers are a hard headed stiff necked and rebellious people and if the Great Ruler in his all wise providence should decree that we in 1S96 shall make 12 millions of bales we would have enough cot ton for one time, and get for it about two cents a pound. If such could be the case it might teach us that a farm is intended for men women and children to make their living out of and have their own provisions at their own house. But some people say. "You might as well sing psalms to a dead horse as talk to farmers about making their own provisions," and I be lieve this i? the state of the case. Mr. Editor, this i ? cjjM^fti0^ vfiflr ^aiiuiuaies are" Beginnmg^ To biid, to blossom aud' to bloom-so .nxious to serve their country and work for the dear people. The people ought to require them to tell how they would vote on the various bills that might come up in the legislature, and relegate them to the rear there forever to re main unless they fulfil their prom ises. Wo should be more part.cu lar in the future than in the past, as to electing good men to office. lu 1890 I voted for reform, and up to the present time- out have not yet got the reform'th?t I voted for, and worked for. If men don't prac- ? tics what they preach I do not have any confidence in them. Neverthe less, I am a reformer still, but will try to vote for better men in the future. Let all reformers do this There is too much money voted for high schools and colleges; Presidents' and professors' sala ries are too high, and all other sal aries ought to be lowered accord ing to the times. " Taxes are oppressive and bur densome to the people. There cer- j tainly must be a halt as there are many who can barely live and bear up under these burdens. Although rather late to do so, I I must say I am ashamed of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention who voted to increase their own salaries. ThevJ^r^wbe fore the election wh#ctwas appro priated for Jjjj?*rt*v1aluable services, could not serve for that I amount they ought to have let those go who could. I fear it is, money before patriotism and self | before the people. On the 22nd inst. Mrs. Katie Timmerman died near McKen dreei, said to be ninety-six or ninety-seven years old, and on the same day Mrs. W. E. Timmerman also died, aged about fifty-five years. On next day Rev. Mr. Brabham preached their funerals at McKendrees. They were both interred in McKendree- cemetery. This is the fourth time within my recollection that two were buried on the same day in this sacred spot. Mr. Brabham's friends at McKendrees were glad to meet him one more time and are always happy to entertain him.
