"Blew out gas, and he is
dead," is the laconic state
ment of an Atlantic City trag
edy.-Augusta Chronicle.
"Dealt in futures, and he's
dead broke," can be said 01
the financial demise of many
a young man who fancied
himself to be an embryo Pier
pont Morgan.
In 1875 there were only
five negroes in the State
asylum for the insane, while
those admitted last year ex
ceeded the number of whites.
Why is this great increase?
It is hardly attributable to fi
nancial or domestic troubles
-the fruitful sources of ment
al aberration among the Cau
casians-for the Afro-Ameri
can is never happier than
when he has not a dollar in
his pocket or when his better
half elopes with another man.
All crops have been laid by
and are rapidly making. The
farmers, although discour
aged over the outlook a few
weeks ago, are now feeling
. good. The damages result
ing from the short drought
have to a great extent been
repaired by the latter rains.
With a reasonably late fall,
and favorable seasons con
tinuing, an average crop will
yet be made. And what
gives a. roseate hue to the sit
uation is the price of cotton.
That cotton will decline in
price as the new crop is mar
keted is to be expected, yet
in view of the existing condi
tions-the scarcity of raw
material and the steadily in
creasing demand for cotton
goods-it is quite certain that
the producer as well as the
-"^-spgLTrfat?i" mit itfgfee a gtit?r
price therefor.
THE SOUTH AND
ITS DEVELOPMENT.
Mr. M. V? Richards, the
industrial agent of the South
ern railroad and an excellent
authority, in his address be
fore the Horticultural con
vention at Johnston on Wed
nesday last, said : "I study
every section of the country
throughout the United States,
and the South has a brighter
future before it than any other
section." Its resources are
being exploited and talked of
throughout the north, Cana
da and Europe as never be
. fore. To every one person
who came South ten years
ago there are one hundred
coming today. Mr. Rich
ards said that on the South
ern railway alone 650 indus
trial enterprises were estab
lished last year and 800 this
. year. See what is being
done, also note the ratio of
increase, along one railway
system, and it is reasonable to
suppose that the same prog
ress is being made along oth
er roads and throughout the
entire South.
Mr. Richards, who has
closely studied conditions in
the South, says that the time
has come when unoccupied
lands must be reclaimed by
subdividing large farms and
inducing a thrifty class of em
igrants to settle among us. i
As many southern white peo
ple have abandoned making
cotton to engage in its manu
facture, others must be in
duced to occupy the farms
made vacant by their remov
al to the towns and cities.
In our county the white pop
ulation could be doubled-in
many sections quadrupled
and the increase would be
barely perceptible.
The vast majority of land
owners are land poor. They
are paying taxes on too much
and are endeavoring to
cultivate too much land.
Smaller areas more highly
fertilized and more thorough
ly cultivated would yield lar
ger net returns. This change,
along with diversified farm
ing, made throughout the
South would speed the bright
day that is sure to come by
and-by.
MEETING STREET.
Interesting Reminiscences of
Former Days.
(Contributed.;
There is a pleasing sadn.?s<s in vis
iting tbe old neignborbo(d of Meet*
mg street up on little Stevens' Creek.
What changes bave taken plac? The
country is the same. There is the
same old homestead with iong avenue
of ti ees down the road, the store house
with the long front piazza-yonder,
across the gently flowing stream, is
tbe big old church with the large ga
bles aid white sides. Down at tbe
creek the waters flow with the same
dancing current in their mex ry Jjour
ney to the sei-the woods and Heids
stretch out in tie same lovely laud
scape, all shimmering in the same
bright sunlight-all over the neigh
borhood are the same old homesteads
and farms. But, truly, a change has
come over the spirit of the times
Where aie those grand old men and
women whj vitalized those dear old
spots?
The talland dignified John S. Snar
ly who once lived like a prince at the
Meeting Street pla -it ion and nade
the store the social center of the vicin
ity ; the genial and vivacious Dr, Clint
Tompkins, so full of jocular wit and
pleasing conversation; the fat and
wealthy She jmy Nicholson, with his
well appointed home and bojutilul
good cheer; the plain and honest B;n
jamin Ouzts, with barns bursting
open with plenty; the thrifty and
pronper ? is Conrad Lowery, the awk
ward.form of Lewis l:ean wi;hquiet but
kindly face; the ruddy face of Archy
Lewis, as he bustled about amid tbe
cares of a large and flourishing fami
ly; Dr. John Landrum, with specta
cles ou bis p ofessional face and stu
dious habits ol thought; Capt. J. Ii.
Allen, with military carriage and
handsome face, always courtly and
manly; Capt. Bili Stevens, tbal hero
of the lox chase, with his yard alive
with well fed dogs and hospitable din
iug room tilled with friendly guests,
plenty to eat and drink for al!; Jos
eph Adams, the quiet and patient gen
tleman ever easy and kind m manner;
the lean, bu: intellectual, face of Ran
som Timinermau and his brother, Jes
se' but both as honest and true as
steel; Luke Culbreath, w th portly
frame and sturdy air .if a thriving
country gentleman; the qieenly face
of Mrs Elizabeth Nicholson, whose
presence inspired all that respect
which comes from a good and true
woman, and her noble children; Dr.
John Lake, that grind old man who
literally wore himself out. going over
the county as a loving physician do
ing deeds of mercy and charity ; Jim
mie and Jacky Dorn,both industrious
citizens embracing all the eleineuts of
honesty; Tillman Padgett, with h.s
earnest face and busiuess judgement
always atten ive to-every duty; austere
Jesfe Hart, never idle and bis grave
face ever Ailed with the cares of his 1
farm; the amiable Henry Hart, who in 1
season or out of season could always
come borne with a big string of fish; i
Bill Harris, with deep voice and man
ly tread, ever watchful of bis inter- :
ests; John Quattlebaum, that stirring ,
character of rugged honesty; Simeon ?
Cogburn, the soft easy man of so much ,
kindness of heart; good old John ,
Trapp, the country minister with a
heart full of love to God and man, go- .
mg from place to place, in rain or
shine, marrying the young, burying
the dead and preaching tbe precious ?
word of God; Marshall and Elijah j
Faulkner, both men of great worth.
But time woull fail me to call all 1
their names. They are all written
down io the Great Book wbere the .
deeds of tbe just are recorded.
These were Diam, blunt men, not
given t,3aping mannerisms which de
ceit calls politeness. Many of them
were truly religious, but those who ,
were not did not act any of the parts
of the hypocrite, but were what they
seemed to be. If any of them drank .
they did not sneak behind the door to .
"tl?it ?bd ?o out wich the false cry of .
the so-called prohibitionists. Very ;
few of them ever drank to excess.
These men weie not saints, but their
very bones were saturated with the
milk of human kindness. No real
sufferer was ever turned away from
their door, and the traveler always
found a happy retreat when the
shades of night warned bim to rest.
Each of them was a man, every inch
of him. Living as they did on their
farms, drawing with strong i?rm the
fruits of the field from the bosom of
nature, they were truly independent.
They hardly ever wandered away
from home chasing the butterflies of
glory along the bleak oath of politics.
They never sat in pompous idleness
aboi.t the too often hollow-hearted dig
nitaries who are supposed to adorn
the halls of fame. They were more
than famous. They constituted the
very foundations of greatness and
made it possible for the eloquent
statesman to point with pride to his
prosperous country. Honest toilers
in homespun simplicity, they abound
ed in tnat home raised plenty taut
was characteristic and made true
prosperity. You could see down in
the green pastures well fed herds,
droves of pigs about the lot, flocks of
sheep grazing on the hillsides, the
barns were rilled with corn, wheat and
oats. Tin ift painted the swelling bills
in living gr^en, order and method ap
peared in ali tbe well appointed ar
rangements of Mie farm.
When the war broke out they were
ready toohey their country's call, and
such noble boys as Elbert Ouzts,
John Laudrum and Edward Mobley
showed tneir neighbors bow beautiful
ly they could die for that country
they so well ?adored. No braver sol
diers ever weat to battle than the men
from about Meeting Street. None ev
er did nobler service from Camp But
ler to Appomattox. Alas! Most of
tnem bave gone,
"The breezy call of incense-breath
lng morn,
"The swallows twittering from the
straw-built shed,
"The cock's shrill clarion or, the
echoing horn,
"No more shall rouse them from
their lowly bed."
When we speak of these great men
let us not forget their faithful wives
and daughters-those ?loving matrons
with tender hearts-who adorned the
warm and cheerful firesides. Wbere
could you Andmore virtuous, christian
women? Truly, we can say, "Her
price was far above rubies, tbe heart
of her husband could truly trust in
ber, she did bim good and not evil all
the days of her life, she sjught wool
ane Aax and worked diligently with
her hauds, she arose while it was yet
night and gaveth meal u .to her house
hold."
These good people, too, have made
the soil of that section sacred by rest
ing in its consecrated bosom. Let us
cherish and revere their memory. Let
their worthy example ever remind us
that we should scorn the wrong.
Th**86 women acted well tueir part
in time of peace, but when th j clouds
of war hovered over our laud they rose
to the occasion, by doing the many
things which only a woman can do,
and besides, attended to the duties of
aman on the farm all the while with
h-art quivering with sad forebodings
as to tbe rews of her loved ones far
away on the field of battle. Let us
keep their precious graves green with
the shrubbery of fond recollection.
No taint of ignominy pervades the at
mosphere of th?-ir sacred gi aves.
There they lie in their lowly beds of
honor, beneath the rugged oaks and
sighing pines. If their posterity do
not live noble lives and lill honorable
graves it will not be because their an
cestors failed to set them the proper
example.
The country is filled with books giv-l
ing the life of what we call great men
A noted statesman or eminent divine
m
is hardly cold in his costly grave be
f?te the swarm of book agents are dis
turbing the country with cut and
dried speech in praise of the dead
man. But while so ?much is bein?
said, much for filthy lucre, in behalf
of public men let us not forget the
useful deeds of the unpretentious toil
ets who constitute the country.
Much has been said of late, most prop
erly too, about our dear old Wade
Hampton. But what could Hampton
have done either in the war of the six
ties or the redemption of 76 without
such men as old Capt. Bill Stevens and
Jim Allen to lead the rank and file?
The twentieth century may boast
of her many achievements, but no j
type of true men or virtuous women
can be produced in any country or
any age than those good old folk
whose tracks we? e to be seen i m beded
in the fields and gardens about Meet
ing Street. These gocd people were,
as a rule, large of frame, dtep chested,
and capable of great endurance, coup
led with good business judgement and
honesty.
ls there not some danger that our]
present fast age is improving every
thing else at the expense of manhood?
Is noe the so-called Christian civiliz
ation and complicated machinery
dwarfing the bodies, freezing the spir
its, crushing the nerves and minds of(
men and women?
1 was talking"?.some time ago to an
old lady who lived near Meeting
Street before the time of cooking
stoves,sewing machines and such like.
She said when she was a young woman
just married sbe got up before day
every morning, milked the cows, cook
ed on an open fire place, weaved her
own el >t i o if a loom, carded and
spun the filling to go in it, cut and
made all clothes for the eyer increas
ing family, without any sewing ma
chines, made all her own soap and can
dles aud usually had a baby to nurse
besides. Now, with ready made
clothes, cooking sio\es and sewing)
machines, steam driven looms and
spindles, our women cannot endure
what these did. This good old lady
was not hurt by all this work as she is
still ali ve and in her seventies. But
times have changed.
This sturdy old stock is of the kind
to be proud of They lived useful
lives. They did well in life and when
the final summons came they received
from a smiling heaven, the ,4well done,"
ol a loving God.

We find all of the County offices
properly bonded and that the C >urt

ed. The Court House roof and rear
end are still in bad condition and
should be repaired at once.
W? find that our Couuty is paying
about$230 00 auuually toroffiee rent
and after careful investigation we
figure that the County can build
the necessary offices aud Vaults for
Clerk? Records at about $1409. The
office rent now being paid should
pay this, with the interest, ia ten
years, when this expense would for
ever stop. ITe recommend that
such building suitable for necessary
offices with Vault for Clerks Re
cords be erected either in rear of

House on South side of Court
House in front of Jail in the discre
tion of the County Board of Super
