It is fourteen milos to tho North of Wal hall?, and Hos on tho North prong of I.Hilo River. Tho crops aro lino, espe cially tho corn, on bot h low and up lands. A groat deal of cotton is raised boro, too, I but tho continuod wot weather scorns to j bo injuring it worse than elsewhere in tho Southon) portion of tho county. Tho pooplo aro intelligent, prosperous and happy. Thoro are many of tho moat substantial farmers of tho county found among tho citlzons of this neigh borhood. Wo wore tho guests of Hon. A. ??. Grant, whoso hospitable homo enter tained both us and our traveling com panions, Mr. and Mrs. a. M. VanWyck. And ) m vcr woro guests moro fortunato in .thoir host. Mr. (?rant is one of our old est olti/.ons and lins lived near Whit ,??,...?? forty-five yotvvs. ?lc tr; well known throughout tho county, which ho ropresonted in tho Legislature from 1871 to 1870. During bis term as Representa tivo tho late lamented Col. W. C. Keith was our able .Senator and tho late Col. J. W. Livingston was also iii tho House of Uoprosontatives, thus making one of tho strongest delegations wo have ever sent to tho Legislature. Mr. Grant lives on Little Uiver, within a half mile of I Wbltmiro's church. Ile owns n most | vnlunblo farm of over 700 acres, on which is one of tho ninny lino water powers of | tho county. Tliis power ls partially ul iii/.ed by his son, Mr. Thomas tirant, in running n large grist and saw mill and tannery. Thc farm and mills uro under his supervision mid control. Ho lives with his father and motin i. Tho people turned ont en massa to at tend tho sessions of tho Conference. All tho delegates were delighted with their hosts and homes ?nd loft Whit ni i rc'H fooling Ibot it was good for them to have boon there. THK SENECA PICNIC. Thursday, '2\li\ instant, was the day appointed for the big picnic nt Seneca. Of tllO speakers expected on that occa sion only Hon. J, S. Cothran, our mom bor of Congress, and Comptroller Gene ral Vernor were present, but they bold tho crowd for two hours during thc de livery of their addresses. Mr. John C. Cary, of Seneca, presided and introduced tho speakers. The stund WIW erected in Hie beautiful grove just South of tho depot, and bore by ll o'clock quito a large crowd bad as sembled, lt waa estimated that about five hundred people were present. Hon. .1. S. Cothran was Hist intro duced, and in bis happy, Uncut and olo ?picnt style, spoke for one lunn-, lie dis cussed in an exceedingly interesting man ner sonic of the live, practical questions of tho day, dwelling especially on tb?, negro problem anti the education of thc masses. Ho look what appeared to us i\ vory plain and sensible view of the BO OAllcd negro problem. Ho believes that tho negro is here, and bore to stay, ami that it behooves the white man to treat him fairly. Ho is the best of wage-wor kers, sind, as such, he is not only tilling our liol s, hut he also serves thc purpose of keeping out of our midst the anar chists, socialists and communists, who would soon he attracted hither wore the negro gone. Thus thc negro serves tho purpose of a wall to drive back this foreign element, which is now tilling up other sections of the count ry so rapidly. Ito believes (he North and West have a harder problem than oms to solve, in the presence among then) of so many for eigners who arc averse to American in stitutions. Ile insisted that thc white mun should treat his brother in black fairly, honestly, honorably and see that in the practical administrai iou of justice, his legal rights are preserved. After speaking lit some length on this important theme, he alluded to the his tory and destiny of the Anglo-Saxon race, which, ho said, always had been and always will bo able to grapple with and solve any and all problems that may confront them. Ile was not one to take a gloomy view of the situation, but on thc contrary, he believes that under the orderings of a kind Providence, the problem will virtually solve itself, thc purposes of Hod with reference to each rnco being accomplished. The Anglo Saxon is the dominant race the world over, wherever he makes his abode, and especially the Scotch-Irish element, to which wo principally belong. Hoing such, wo nei ll never fear negro domina tion, so long as we preserve inviolate out race instincts and characteristics. So long as wo mo true to the traditions of our forefathers and perpetuate in our de scendants the virtues which have always distinguished the race, we need not fear negro supremacy. Ho concluded hy a strong plea for the better education of the tuasses, as one of tho chief moans by which wo are to sus tain and perpetuate ourselves as the do minant race. He spoke of the grand possibilities that await the youth of the present generation, who are growing up since the ravages of war have been healed in a great degree, and better opportuni ties are afforded for the development of woll-ronnded and symmetrical characters. Hon. J. S. Verner was next introduced a? Oeonoo's native son, and ho lcd off in an hour's address, during which he touched several living questions. Wo would be glad to give a full synopsis of his address, but timo and space forbids. SutHeo it to say that he discussed in a most interesting and forcible manner our system of State and county govern ment under the present constitution; taxation, the system of assessment, levy mid collection; the negro problem and tho means whereby the white man is to maintain bis supremacy. Ile also forci bly recounted the ravages of war, the groat dost met ?on of life nod property which li entailed in South Carolina, as woll a? tho crippled oonditiou to which tho whole South wo* reduced, lt is usoloss for us to oommond him aa a speaker to tho pcoplo ol OconoO, who havo listened to ids clarion voleo for ninny years, in heated polttloal campaigns, at tho bar and on tito public platform. Whoro ls tho man that lins not hoard "John Sam" speak ? WoJb on this oe easton ho was at Ids' host, and yon may know his speech was indeed good. Wo spout tho day in Sonoon, and while not at tho pion ie grounds, wo wore ming ling with the oitiy.OMS of our thriving sta tor town, which is now rojololng ovor tho erection of tho new cotton soed oil mill. Tho mill and machinery havo already ar rived and were standing on tho ears at tho depot. Tho work is progressing nleoly, and ero long tho hum of mnohi nory will be hoard ns tho Hood uro being crushed. Tho business mon of Seneca ure in good spirits and manifest an air of assurance which sponks well fur tho future of their town. Tho r?volution in Ilayti is at nu omi. Legitimo steps down and out. Tho Queen of England has com muted tho (loath son lonco of Mrs. Moybriok to ono of imprisonment for lifo in tho penal colonies. President Harrison continued his jaunting tour to Cincinnati, Indian apolis, and other places, on his return to Deer Park, Md., his futuro home. Four men, two white and two black, were hung in New York on Friday last, for killing the women thoy lived with. .Strong drink was at the bottom of all the trouble. S. Gip Porter died at his residence abovo .Picken? last Friday at the age of eighty-one years. Ile was a quiet, hardy son of toil that had his friends among those who knew him best. Col. J. S. IL Thompson, of Spnr tanbnrg, a prominent lawyer of that place, died suddenly of heart disease, on the *21 st. instant. Ile was a hard worker and enjoyed a large lucrative practice. S. W. McKinlay, of Charleston, S. C., has been appointed special in spector of customs for the port of Louisville, Ky. His friends say that he was endorsed by all thc leading Republicans of Kentucky and South Carolina. Ile is a bright mulatto, possessing more intelligence and na tural shrewdness than the average co lored Republican from the Palmetto State. The first train run ont of Knox ville, Tenn., over the Knoxville, Cumberland Gap and Louisville railroad took place oil the 22d in stant, lilied with otlicials of the road and distinguished men of the city. One of the ears ran off of a trestle not far from the city. Seven per sons were killed and have died from the effects of their wounds, and fifty more have been seriously wounded. Great ?listress prevails in Knoxville. The Hon. Leon Abbott will have a walk-over for the Democratic Gubernatorial nomination in New Jersey, all tho other Aspirants having abandoned the hopeless contest. Kx-Governor Abbott is the ablest and most popular Democrat in New Jersey, ami it is claimed that he will carry the State in November hy 8,000 or 10,000 majority. The Democrats are also con fl dont that the Legisla ture will be decidedly Democratic on joint ballot. A lad by the name of Schaffer, clerk in a store at Mount Pleasant, Rorkcloy county, accidentally shot and fatally wounded a negro woman in tho store, oh the 23d instant. Soon a report went out among the negroes that the young man intended to kill the woman. The negroes fo mented the excitement and a riot was imminent. Threats were made that the boy would be mobbed. The Governor called out the milli iry and sent n compnny to .Mount Pleasant. Some of the negroes who threatened mob law were put in jail. Schaffer was sent to Charleston jail for safety.. Before (he woman's death she said tho boy did not shoot her inten tionally. The troops have been re moved and "peace reigns in War saw," for a time, at least. The Columbia IteffisUr says, "the work of putting in lire proof floor in the ellice of Secretary of State, the Supremo Court Library and the Se nate committee rooms is now nearly completed, and yesterday the laying of the marble tiles was commenced. Some 10,000 squaiy feet of these tiles have arrived and they aro be ing laid in alternate squares of white ami clouded marble, with a border of the latter. The floor of thc up per corridor will not he tiled at this time, but the beautiful room intended for the State Library will be, ns will also be all the committee rooms ami the offices in which work is now go ing on down stairs. Slowly, per haps, but surely and in a most sub stantial way the State House is pro gressing to the goal of completion." This is very line work to be done by n very poor people at a very great I expense. Alliance Colouration. Tho following intoroHting account of tho Farmers" Allmnoo picnic, at Mount Tabor, wo olip from tho Toccoa (Go.) Areto$} of tho 24th in ?tant. It WIIB our intontlon to have attended th lt? picnic, and had our ar rangements mado to do BO, but at tho last moment woro unavoidably prevented from going. Wo aro glad, howovor, that wo can lay boforo our roadors the proceedings of this meeting as chronicled by our able and esteemed Georgia cotemporary. Wo hope to ha'i : tho plonsuro of visiting this favored section at somo futuro time, partaking of its hospi tality, and noting nguiu its progross and prosperity: Thursday, August 16th, was pic nic and jollification day with the Mt. Tabor, South Carolina Alliance. The Toccoa Cornet Hand had been ongaged to furnish tho musio for tho ocoasion. Tho Toccoa parly drovo down the river 13 miles, erossing at Perkin's Ferry, and a drivo of one mile brought thom to Mt. Tabor ohureh and found (p?te a crowd already gathered, which by ll o'clock was estimated at 800 to 1,000. Mr. Jno. vS. Dickson, tho master of ceremo nies, announced from the church door that nil tho Allinneemen were wanted in The house. They spent a short time in tho church arranging the programme, when they tiled out in pairs and formed a lino of march. Tho color bearer took the lead, carry ing a white Hag with blue binding and n blue bow immediately under a shock of wheat worked with blue thread. Next to tho Hag carno the band; noxt came tho Alliancemen followed by tho Alliancewomen with a few more Alliancemen bringing up tho rear. To tho tune of tho Grand March, played by tho band, they marched to the speakers' stand, where a large arbor lind boen built and comforta ble seats arranged to accommodate quite a gathering. Mr. Dickson introduced Kev. G. F. Fuller, who made a short speech, lie said he was not a farmer, but his sympathie!? woro with the farmers. Ho thought the farmers had struck the key note and were on tho eve of better times. Dr. T. G. Underwood was the next speaker. The doctor thought ho saw thorough organization stamped on the countenance of his hearers, but didn't think they were entitled to much credit, from the fact thal they had waited ti itil they were forced to Organizo to save, them selves. Ho thought the greatest mistake the farmers had over made was when they bit at the Ya/.oi fraud. He paid a high tribute U Cen. Jackson for his sacrifice am interference in the matter, lie rc ferret! to the late National olectior as being cavried by money, hui thought tho time was coming whet money would be of no avail in elec tions. Ho discussed tho jute trus and said that they didn't want anj thing to do with a merchant or nm ono else who would buy a yard, o jute bagging. Ho closed his speed by comparing the Alliance to tin calf that drank thc yeast and ros? into the air. Ho said: "Wo Alli nncemen have drank tho yeast mu are rising, and nothing can stop us for we are here to stay." Mr. A. Zimmerman, of OcoilCi county, S. C., was next introduced He was proud he was a farmer, nm it afforded him very great plensur to bo with so many farmers on till occasion. He thought that tho far mers bad worked bard this year am that they had well earned a day c picnicing and social enjoyment, am boped that this month would fut nish a thousand just such occasion: Ile beliobod tho occupation of fat mer was more respected by tho gren Creator than any other calling. I discussing thc school question, h said : "Wo need to have a bette system of common schools, and giv less attention and money to college: a collegiate education is very nic< bul tho education we farmers nee most is, how to double our crop misc our own stock and pay oi just debts. When wc formers g< to where our word is our bond, w will have attained tho position th: justly belongs ti? us. Wo can gro any crop that the North can; ot climate is much better; taxes lowe labor cheaper, and when we loni how to raise what we need and pn for what we buy, we will be ntl ii dependent and respected people [ Applause.] Here thc dinner hour was ai nottneed, There was n bouutif supply of every thing oil the eat logue of edibles, nicely cooked ai served by as beautiful and elev* ladies as any section can boa* There were wagon loads of Itiolot and fruits of all kinds on tho grono and if any one failed to get pion to eat it was their own fault. Congressman Cothran, of AM) ville, was thc next speaker. ll speech was more political than a riculttiral. His anecdotes and M were fresh and altogether his spec? was a linc effort and frequently a phonied by thc audience. Dr.A, Johna, of ?coiico con ty, S. 0., was tho, next speaker, lio was a niorohnnt up to tho timo of thc Oigauizatiou of that Allianco, when ho gave iq> his husinoss ami joined tho Allianco ranks, and pro poses to help them push to tho top of tho hill. Last and ?east in size, hut not least in common sense for ono so young, was Hov. K. 10. Vernor, of Rucho lor's Itctrent, S. O. lie thought thc farmers were on thc ove of hotter limes; they had worked very haiti this year, and, ns a result of their labors, they had good crops nnd he believed Mod was blessing the Alli r.i cc movement, ami would continue to bless it until tho farmers were en tirely out of their trouble, if they Would only do their port. lie thought the condition of the funnels was tho result of this "great evil," the credit system. We have too few farmers) too many of our young men are docking lo the cities, all on account of tho credit system. "This system is the grund evil we lune to remedy, and we can remedy it. Cur Lodge hero has already remedied it, and any one wishing to know how we did it cnn cull Oil our secretary and lind out. When WO hove en tirely abolished the credit system, wlum we raise what we need nt homo nnd pay cash for what wo buy, instead of our boys Hooking to the cities, you Will see the eily boys coming out to st v with us, nnd what a grand old tone we fanners will have. We called on Mr. Vernor after the speaking and he said the members of their lodge that woro aldo borrowed their money at ten per cent and di vided it out among their members, taking mortgages on their crops and small farms, to secure themselves against loss, lie thinks by this pro ceeding they saved a large per cent Oil what they bought. Our Hichland Correspondence. RICHLAND, S. C., Aug. 27, 1889. DEAR Cou Kl KU : For the present, the trustees of the Hichland Educa tional Enterprise have decided that, it will bc better for the patrons to select A teacher, and a meeting of our citizens on Saturday 24th re sulted in tho election of Mr. M. S. Stribling, Jr., as principal teacher for our first school, to commence November 1st, next. As the ap pearance of a good school brightens, more interest in the building is man ifested, nnd almost every week some of our neighbors come to the front to offer us pecuniary help. Who will bo the next ? We would like to dispose of shares at ten dollars each to the amount of about one hundred dollars yet nnd hope thal some ono who expects lo use this academy as a convenience in educating his sons and daughters, will come and join us. This enterprise will not only ?inprove educational facilities, bul will also enhance the value of real estate. We are sorry to learn that Messrs. W. C. and J. M. Foster are quito sick with chills and fever at River side, Ala. We hope to hear more favorable news from them soon. Messrs. CL J. Strother and T. II. Hughs arrived yesterday from Ozark, Ala., where they have been engaged building a new railroad from Bainbridge, Go., to Montgom ery, Ala. They have been gone ever since last January and we are glad to see them looking quite well. Why don't the railroad companies have separate apartments for their colored and white passengers ? We think they could arrange to give a colored passenger ti rsi class fare without placing them as a mixture all through the car. Ami cvon in the second class car why can't they be separated? We hope to see something done in this direction. The writer goes to Atlanta to-day in the interest of his business, lt. In thc Shadow of thc ltlue Ridge. TUB TliniVIXO TO W S (?K WALHALLA AS A HEALTH ItESORT-A NEW 110 TRL-THE VI>noi:s IKoM THE S K A - SHOliE. WAI HALLA, August 24.-The pop ularity of Walhalla as a health and pleasure resort is demonstrated by the fact that each year the number of visitors grows larger. The spacious hotel of Messrs. Riemann it Son has been taxed to its utmost, and the private boarding houses are all hav ing a good run of patronage. Tho heavy increase demands additional hotel accommodations, ami to that omi the Norman Drug Company, of Walhalla and ( - orgctown, have just purchased the large building known formerly OS tho Pieper House and run at that time ns a hotel.

Both occasions wore delightful. Tho J grounds were profusely decorated with Chinese lanterns, various shades of bunting, etc. Tho thanks of tho ladies of the Luthorn Church aro duo to tho Indies at Bioinann's Hotel for tho kind donation of some twenty dollars, the proceeds of their own ef forts. On Wednesday night tho McsBrs. Bicmnnn gavo n "hop," complimen tary to their guosts. It would bo futile to attempt a description of this brilliant occasion. Refreshments were served, and the "light fantastic' was indulged in to a Into hour. Our town is attracting pormanont settlers. Mr. A. S. Welch, of Now Haven, nnd Gon.

There was a great laughtor in 1879 among English Liberals over Lord Boueonsliold's prediction that the wheat tields of Manitoba had a promi nent part to play in the future of Canada, tho idea then being gen eral that Manitoba was little bettor than a frozen swamp. But this pre diction, like some others that "Dizzy" made, has come true. In fact, it falls short of the truth, as it is found that Minnesota and Dokata ore but tho Southern border of a vast area of the finest possible wheat lands stretching away toward the North 1*010. The largest part of the great wheat belt of North America is found to bc in Canada. Between Ontario and thc Kooky Mountains there arc nearly a million square miles of tine, deep, rich soil suited to the production of hard grain. Not only is the grain grown there of thc best, but produc tion per acre is the greatest. The Canadian Pacitie is now fringed with j the settlements in the region in ques tion, but in a few years tho popula tion must bo vastly increased by im migration. New Advertisements. WHAT NEXT?
