Kathleen, sweet Kathleen; from earth has departed. Her parents ami friends are quite hroken hearted, Their loss is so ?rreat. their grief so severe, They spend their days with many a tear. God loaned her tons for a short, brief season, Then took her to Him, in the sweet. blessed Heaven. To bloom in beauty and purity there. Near the throne of His love, without any care. Death came in thc morning, disrobed of his terrors. Kissed her sweet life away without giving her the horrors: she went to sleep so sweetly and ^ .?m. Resting securely on the everlasting arm. Transplanted by God to His kingdom above. To be kept and to be nourished by His omnipotent love: There in beauty to grow, never more any death. To come any more and deprive her of breath. So parents, dear, go to God with your irrief. Children's Day at Westminster. As was announced, Children's Day was j observed at the Methodist church last ! Sunday afternoon. The ladies had deco ! rated the church beautifully. The house was full, more than could be seated, though a moro quiet and orderly congre gation it has never been our pleasure to see. The programme was carried out in full and all the children acquitted them selves nicely. R. T. Jaynes, Esq., de livered quite an interesting and edifying address, which was enjoyed much by the large congregation. Rev. Newton Smith, the new Presbyterian minister, made a few timely remarks, aftc.- which Rev. Mr. Shaffer made a few remarks and took up the usual collection ordered on Children's Day, amounting to eleven dollars with more to be added in a few days. Upon the whole we feel that the meeting was not in vain and trust the seed sown may fall in good ground and bring forth an abundant harvest.- Westminster Banner. Interesting Items from Piedmont. [Correspondence KKOWEE COURIER.] PIEDMONT, S. C., May 30, 1S92. Thc work on the new Methodist church has been delayed several weeks on ac count of the lumber not reaching here when expected. The ladies of the Presbyterian church are preparing to give an entertainment j at an carly date for the benefit of their church. Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Runion, of Au- ? gusta. Ga., came to Piedmont last Friday afternoon and will spend several weeks visiting the former's mother and family. Several Baptist churches in this county held a union meeting here last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Quite a number of ministers, delegates and visitors from other churches were present. We aro informed that the small grain crop, wheat especially, is better in this county than it has been for a number of j years. j Dysentery is prevalent to some extent j in our town at present, but we are glad to state that but very few cases have : proved to be of a serious nature. The i family that has .suffered most from it is j that of Mr. Jewel. Ile and most of his j family were down with it. Ile died last j Friday, and after ho was laid out one of j his daughters left her room to look at her I father. She ret urned to her bed and died ' shortly afterward. They were carried to j the cemetery and interred at the same I time. Two other members of the family I are not expected to live. The members of the Woman's Aid So ciety of the Methodist church served rc : freshmen ts on the hotel lawn on Saturday i evening. ?1st instant. The net receipts of the evening were about SSO; They also gave a stereoptican entertainment a few weeks before, of which thc net re ceipts were about "M7. They have col lected by other means about S25. This is a very good start towards the S300 which they propose to raise to furnish their new church when completed. w.

This scribler had the pleasure of visit ing in Abberille county last week, and I find quite a difference in the farming in terests in Anderson and Abbeville coun ties to what it has been heretofore, for where the farmers have been planting cort?n they have gotten the same land in corn and small grain. I spent Saturday and Sunday in the Level Land section of Abbeville county, and I talked with several of the farmers in that community, and they say they in tend to raise their own supplies at home hereafter, for they can't afford to raise, cotton to buy them with. These people are determined to live at home. They are solid for Tillman. We noticed in the News last week in its correspondence from this place, that there was a candidate out in this commu nity for the Legislature who, if elected, would try to pass a bill prohibiting the marriage of males under twenty-one and females under eighteen years of age. i This is something we never heard of be- ; fore, and wc know the reason he is" op posed to it: It is because he is not mar ried and she is under that age. We noticed in the Richland corres-1 pondence last week that the writer .seems ? to think wc did not know the object of "the State convention. We know it W??S j to elect delegates to the Chicago conven j ti on to nominate a President for the Dc- j j mocratic party, and wc also fiud from his j : talk the reason he did not want to help I pay the expense. Ile was afraid that they would swap us oil' to thc Third or i Peoples* Party, and then he goes on to! j say since they have come back and did j not he is willing to pony up thc dimes. I Well, I hate to say it, but it seems that j bc did not have any confidence in our ; delegates, and then says that we have ! five hundred men in our county who would make a better Governor than Till-. man: but I differ with him in this, for! ; where will you lind a mau who will come ! out in the hold and tight his opponents I as did Tillman in is??) ? I will admit we ? have some good men in chis county, but ! show me one who will stand in the front j ranks and tight .'or his CA'ise ?0 dui our : present Governor. We arc like our Rich I land correspondent. ve want good Christ j ian men in office, bu* we are not cho'ce . as to what denomination they belong, j Of course our present leader is not a ; Baptist nor Methodist, bot he is a Pres ? byterian, and we think God will bless us j under the control of a Presbyterian Gov I ernor as soon as Ile would any other de nomination. So in conclusion we will ; say. Hurrah for Tillman! XEDTOI?~). A Colored Union Meeting;. SENECA, S. C., May 31,lS'.tt. The union meeting, which convened I with Canaan Baptist church, was largely ! attended on last Saturday. The intro : ductory sermon was preached by the Rev. Dudley Brown. The union organ : ized with Rev. H. Wiggins, thc active j missionary of the Seneca River Associa ? lion, as Moderator, and ll. D. Wiggins, ! Clerk. < Thc following queries were discussed: j 1. What is the evidence of a pure and i undefiled religion ? I 2. What can be done to enlist members i to do more church work ? j 3. Has a man made an acceptable offer ing unto the Lord when he has not felt it as a sacrifice ? On Sunday morning a Sunday school j concert was held and the missionary ser I mon was preached at ll o'clock by Rev. j J. S. Steward. A very liberal collection ! was taken up.

' He left at ? o'clock on the vesti bule train for Washington where, he says, bc will remain until the adjourn ment oft Congress. He laughingly told several friends that he proposed to spend six mr re days in Iiis seat in the Senate. Senator Irby occupied room 00, ?n the Mansion house, and when a News re porter called was lying with his coat off on thc bed, with a cigar in his mouth. The Senator is always courteous to news paper men and welcomed the reporter. ; The Senator was asked to express him self on the outlook for the Democratic Presidential nomination, as viewed from what he sees and hears in Washington. : nc said he hail not been in Washington in some time and could give a safer opinion aftoi he arrives there. He at first declined to be interviewed, but gradually became more communicative j and in thc course of a short time grati tied the reporter's desire. j "I wish you would state for me." said j Colonel Irby, "that every county will be j expected to elect delegates to the August i convention double the number of their representation in thc Legislature, includ- j ing thc Senator. For instance, Greenville will have five representatives and a Sena tor in the next Legislature. That will entitle her to twelve delegates. The con stitution of the Democratic party of the j State is not exactly clear on this point. ' >"o alternates need be elected as each I delegation will be empowered to fill I vacancies. This arrangement can do no I bane and conforms to the custom which I has heretofore prevailed." j The Senator was asked what he thought about the recent State convention and its work. "While the Latimer resolutions," an swered the Senator, "were a little rough on Cleveland, their Democracy can't be questioned. The amendment binding the Democratic party of this State to support the nominee, whether Cleveland or not, shows that the Alliance membev i ship of the Demociacy of South Carolina j i<? true to the party. I think the press I criticism of the convention's work is ; unjust. If ever South Carolina had a ?Simon-puia Democratic convention, the j recent one WUK one of them. As a proof ; of it some persons offered resolutions in 1 the caucus which did look like Third ?? Partyism, but they were overwhelmingly ! voted down. [The reporter had put . down 'unanimously' voted down, but j the Senator had tins changed t<j 'over whelmingly.'] Whenever Souih Caro lina deserts the colors of thc Democrat; v while the battle is on. then they can charge us with being untrue. "I believe Hill can be elected if nomi ; nated," said the Senator, after he had j talked a good deal on other matters. "I ; don't believe Cleveland can, unless the ! election is thrown in the House of Re ! resentatives. I shall vote for T*-"" . see he cannot be nomir>~' ''? will vote for the m The Cleveland anc hitch in the conven" tion of either may Sena cor rema, w strong man. * Gov't Report Baking Powder Har PURE Are they Instigated ? [Chattanooga (Tenn.) News." In the State of Tennessee, within a radius of 100 railes from Chatta nooga, within the past five days there have been five bold attempts at rape of defenceless white women by negro brutes. The crime seems to be on the increase instead of a de crease. There have been more rapes and lynchings during the past four weeks in the South than in the lour years previous. Four years ago this time, there was another such wave of rape and lynchings. That year, 1888, was a Presidential year, and so is 1892. How is this to be accounted for? Who reaps the dividend on these "Southern outrages?" Not the peo ple of the South, whose American manhood forces them to protect the sanitary of their homes and who have to bear the blunt of the "bloody shirt" waving ; not thc negroes, the perpetrators of the crime meeting sure death when caught, and the bet I ter element of the race having to j hang their heads in shame at the re j proach cast upon them by the crimes of their more brutal brethren. Who reaps the dividend? The bloody shirt wavers-the Republican party, that dubs itself (and falsely so) the especial guardian and protector of the negro; those who encourage the crime by sympathizing with the pun ished fiends and expressing no con demnation of their fiendish crimes. There is where the dividend falls if in truth there is any dividend. It is curious to note, and difficult to understand how after four years of almost complete rest, this wave again begins to surge on the eve of a force bill campaign. It is difficult to understand the philosophy of the facts which stare you in the face difficult to comprehend the recur rence of this wave in each.and every Presidential year, this recurrence of rape, lynching, bloody shirt waving and "Southern outrage" political capital. Difficult to understand. Can you explain it? Amonncements. ---o . FOR TREASURER : nds of S. P.
