The farmers' meeting which was held at Hyatts Park in Colombia yesterday was a successful one. About one hundred farmers, from different parts of the State were in attendance, among whom were many prominent ones. Some good speech ? 1*? 1 * J es were made on live topics ?uu znnob interest was manifested in tbe meeting. A strange kind of visitor, resembling a red spider, has made its appearance in tbe ootton fields around Batesburg, which is doing damage to tbe cotton boll. Congressman Lever is interesting himself in tbe j matter and will report it to tbe k Agricultural Department. ===== Gaston Gleanings. Everything is quiet, save now and then tbe bobbing np of a new countyifce, an expectant politician, or a dispensaryite. - - "Pmfrortfcfid meetings seem to be the order of the day. Several have closed, more to follow. We hope g; much good may be accomplished for the upbuilding of the Master's kingdom ere they close. Why any sane man or woman can live a Christless B8Sp' : life in this world is one ox the noncomprehensioos of Billy. We can't well afford to live this life without r Christ and it is a certain and inevipy V table fact we just can't afford to live f - the next life without Him. | > Mr. S. E. Harsey from Falco, Ga , is spending some time with relatives pf and friends. Some astronomist have advanced the point that the sun is gradually losing some of his heat. Last winter the world was wrapped in a blanket of snow and ipe and all because be had a pimple on. his face. The July days are conclusive proof to Billy that the old fellow still has * good reserve on hand and I think ere August closes you all will agree wjth me that he has lost none thus far. The days of the great moral institution seem to be numbered. Weigh PT':. . ed in the balances and found wanting. Even Uecie Ben, the daddy of it, is E rf prone to 8toog> the State in favor of prohibition. When she goes down many a fellow will lose a fat job. McLacrin and Lever will make a 10> fine team in the United States Senate. Sooth Carolina would do the wise thing and make no mistake by Bending these two brilliant intellectual statesmen to the Senate. They { are brainy young meD who cannot be lead by the "bosses" but fearless, courageous giants, intellectually speaking, would ever fight for the rights and interests of the Southern white men. I move they be nominated and elected. Too will hear from Jphnnie and Frankie later. Miss Dora Craft is teaching a summer school at Chalk Hill, while Mi38 - . .

Sharon Methodist church at the famous cross roads is nearing com|S pietion. It is both neat, comfortable and attractive. Mr. M. L. Bister a progressive farmer oh the B. F. D., has purchased at $450.00 pair of fine young mules. The post office at this place has been conveniently arranged and fitted up with pigeon holes by postmaster Hartley and P. E. Hufcto. Prof. Smith and brother, Walter, they'd think he was treated white inwhile driving home the other day, had the misfortune to have their buggy wrecked and harness broken by a frightened mule they were | driving. They escaped the wreck unhurt. N. V. Chavis has invented a device by means of which the flies are brushed away from the dinner table. Friend Nathan, you ought to get a patent on the un'que invention. Could the other B. F. D. boys take a peep in my vehicle at the big melons, fine grapes, sweet figs and delicious peaches, they would be in? clined to transfer routes at once. Then take a introspective view of the digestive machinery of the carrier deed. Dr. K K. Taylor has moved in town and will practice in the surrounding community.

K Dargan, the President of the defact Independent Oil Mill at Darlington, The life insurance companies, in which he was insured for $50,000, are giving the matter a thorough investigation. It is now alleged that both the coroner and the jury were fooled as there was no corpse, it is said, was buried, only a wax figure. These reports are more sensational than truthful. Anderson's crop of babies has been very satisfactory this year, and in consequence of the birth rate the supply of nurses is not equal to the demand. However, the soothing syrup and gocart and carriage dealers have replenished their stock. Uncle Jacob Baucb and his nephew Johnnie Bauch, of Saluda county, passing through to the Sunday school convention at Zion church Thursday, made us a pleasant call. They spent the night with M. D. Harman the formers nephew. Fifteen white girls sewing mattresses in Pittsburg went on a strike because a negro girl was brought in the office of the factory to work as a stenographer and typewriter. They resented the idea of the light work being done in dark color. Colonel Daniel Lamont, who was private secretary to President Cleveland daring his first term, and Secretary of War under his second administration, died at his country home in New York last week. Thirteen battleships, seven ar- j mored cruisers, three protected | ..muI onKkna^e o.a I cruisers aim eevetai ^uuwmo ?? now under construction for Uncle Sim's navy. There is one thing about this hot weather, it makes the corn and cotton grow, and a good crop of both will go a loDg way towards helping us endure the cold weather that's coming?later on. Depot Bobbed. On Wednesday night of last week the depot and express office at this place was robbed and a number of express packages and other freight were broken into, but it is said that the robbers secured but very little booty. At the time the robbers were sacking the depot, Boozer Sfcrother, a colored hack driver, was passing on his way home and saw a light in the depot and walked up to the door to see what time of night it was, sup ! posing t&at tne agent was id, as u was nearly time for the train from Augusta. As he approached the door some one within opened the door and fired on Strother, the ball taking effect in the breast and ranging downward. Strother turned and ran when he received another shot in the thigh of the right leg, this ball also ranging downward. They have not been located. It is supposed the robbers were three white tramps who were seen loafing around the place the evening before. Basket Picnic. There will be a Basket Temper ance Picnic held at the Methodist i Episcopal church, Chapio, S. C, on August 10th, 1905. Among the invited speakers are MrB. Janie H. Haynes, State President of the W. C. T. U, of Leesville, S. C, Dr. J. W. Daniel snd Rev. W. I. Herbert, of Columbia. A cordial invitation is hereby extended to all, and it is hoped that the people in the surrounding country will largely attend. Mrs. Chas. P. Robinson, President W. C. T. U.

A Drunkenness, Lewdness and Gambling. They are of the same blood and stock, and yet they do not love each * ? 1 # 1 other, nor ib tbere any Dona 01 inenasbip between them, except for the common purpose of evil, and drunkenness is the victem of lewdness^ aDd gambling v ill take the last Dickel from you. Drunkenness carries the cup of intoxication and madness; lewdness holde the dagger of death and destruction; gambling presents the card pack of fate. Put the three together and you have the synthesis of evil out of its worst forms combined, and while it may be true that they often work death and damnation separately, yet it is in their co opera, tion that the most effective and deadly results upon society follow. The truth is, if you kill out the whiskey you kill the other two. The same spirit of evil which sustains the one in power, or position, is that mointoina tho VTUil>JJ Uiaiuumua wuu uvuvi Drunkenness is not only the victim of lewdness and gambling, but she is the foster and promoter of both, as both are the fosterer and promoter of her; and if you could destroy the whiskey business in this country, it would not be long before a brothel or gambling place of any kind would be unknown. Destroy the whiskey, aud then if men will make and drink whiskey, punish drunkenness and its consequences as crimes against society, just as you do murdererB and thievery, and other forms of violence in the country. This is my theory remedy. P. H. 0. Use Allen's Foot-Ease, A powder to be shaken into the shoes. Your feet feel swollen, ner vous and damp, and get tired easily.
