J. A. Dodson has been appointed ' Superintendent ol the charlotte anti At- j lauta Railroad, and Capt V. E. McBee takes his place as Superintendent of the Columbia and Greenville, Charlotte, Co luaibia and Augusta. Sparenburg and Asheville, and Western North Carolina Roads.

Wash, sloan dropped dead while plow- j ing tn the field on the Sloan old home stead, near the Flat shoals. Wednesday morning. His brother. Alfred Sloan. : . j who was in the field with him. saw him j fall, and on going to him immediately. ; four., bim dead. He was about fifty years old. An inquest was held Wed- j aesday night by Coroner Herndon, the | verdict of the jury being that he came to j his death by visitation of God. Among the honors conferred by New- j berry college, at its recent commence- . ment Rev. M. M. Kinard. pastor of Ebe- ; nezer Lutheran church, of Columbia, j w as awarded the degree of Master of : Arts, lie having successfully completed the non-resh* at two years post graduate i course in mental and moral science. Pe v. Mr. Kinard is well known in Walhalla, j where he has many friends, who are j pleased to uote this evidence of his attain ments in scholarship Mr. and Mrs. J. IL Kelly returned last week from Texas, where they had gone last fall v :th the intention of making their h< . .e in the Lone Star State. Eut a few months stay there convinced them that there was no place like Oconee county. South Carolina, and hence their return. Any person hereabouts contem plating the "pulling up of stakes'' to cast his lot in that far off land, should call on Mr. Kelly and get a word picture of the land which he thinks flows with anything but "milk and honey." apt. J. A. Ballenger, who recently visited Easley, gives us some facts of an interesting nature: With his "better hali" he made the trip through the country in his buggy. Thc roads in Pickens have undergone many changes, and he hardly recognized ?.he road in a number of ?daces between Old Pockens and Easley. Cot ton is looking remarkably well. Wheat and oats are good, with an increased yield. Nearly every farmer has a fine prospect for plenty of corn. The recent heavy rains have washed the lands badly, except where they have been well ter raced. The "Tom Bell" grass is flourish ing aroun d Obi Pickensville. Mr. William Lee, of Greenville, died in Atlanta at the home of his sister, Mrs. Skelton, on Tuesday, June 2$, after a lingering illness from consumption. He was about fifty-two years old, and was a son of the late Wm. C. Lee, Esq., for raerly of this county, who was a well-to ??jo farmer. He served through the war, '.j/Tng a faithful soldier. He was a :ber of the Presbyterian church and -vjrned his profession by a godly walk id conversation. His remains were sent to Greenville where they were interred on Wednesday. William Lee was a Treat and noble hearted man. He was . onerous to a fault and the soul of honor. The last Legislature repealed the Act ; allowing School Commissioners $100 to I defray their expenses in visiting the j schools of the county. j Mr. S. Phillips Yerner, formerly of , Oconee, has taken a high stand in the j South Carolina College as a literary young j niau of rare ahility. ? Cleveland will go to New York on July ; 12th, to receive the committee appointed j to notify him of his nomination. The j South Carolina member of the commit j tee is Theo. D. Jervey, of Charleston. The mysterious second South Carolina delegate who voted for Cleveland at Chicago turns out to he Mr. Harris, of Union. He is said to he complaining bitterly that Gov. Tillman refused to an nounce or report his vote. The recent heavy rains have greatly J damaged the crops in this and other j counties in the Piedmont section. The i lauds have also been badly washed. There was hail also in many localities, which greatly injured gardens and the crops generally. Misses Mary and Lillian Vernor have returned from the Charleston Female College. Miss Mary was awarded the j ??old medal in the art department. She J also won the English diploma, even j though she spent one year in attendance, i This is seldom accomplished by any j pupil in one year. Miss Lilliau took a ! high stand in her class and received a ! certificate for proficiency and honorable j j mention. She will return in the fall and j ; continue the regular course prescribed ( 1 by the curriculum. j A mass meeting at Westminster will be | addressed next Saturday night, July 2d, ? by Col. Jas. L. Orr, Maj. E. B. Murray ;; and other promine"* -.peakers, beginning 1 at eight o'clock. A strong Sheppard and ; ; Orr Club was organized there yesterday. ; : and preparations will be made for a ? rousing meeting on Saturday night. ; Everybody invited to attend and hear : the discussions of thc issues now de manding the serious attention of the . ? people of South Carolina. Come one, j 1 come all, whether you run with the sheep ; '. or the goats. It will do you good. Turn i on the light ! j 1 Allene, infant daughter of Mr. and ? ' Mrs. James M. Hutchison, died last Sun- ' day morning. June 26th, at 1 o'clock. ; after a brief illness of only nineteen j hours duration. She was attacked at 0 o'clock Saturday morning with conges tion of the lungs, and grew rapidly worse until the end came. She was seven months and twenty-six days old. and was bright sweet child. The bereaved par ents have the deep sympathy of many friends in their sore affliction. Four lit tle ones have been given to cheer their hearts for a tew months, and then they were taken one by one. until to-day they arc childless. Her little l?ody was laid beside the three other graves in thc cem etery of the Walhalla Baptist church Monday morning at lo o'clock, after appropriate funeral services, conducted by Rev. lt. W. Seymour. A Golden Wedding. Kev. and Mrs. J. 1). McCullough cele- ? ! Drated the fiftieth anniversary of their . j wedding on Wednesday, June :*.?th. On :, thc L".'th day of June, 1842, Mr. McCul- ;, lough was happily married to Miss Har-1 : riet Hart, daughter of Maj. Benjamin i. Hart, of ( "olunihia. one of the most widely I. known Carolinians of ante bellum days.1, At the time of their marriage the groom : was nineteen and the bride eighteen i years of age. On that day the passenger ;. train over the South Carolina railroad : naide its ?rst run from Charleston to i Columbia, then the longest line of rail way in the United States. This train on , its return carried the happy couple on 1 their bridal tour. Their early union has ; been greatly blessed. Twelve children have been bom unto them, nine of whom four sons anti live daughters, are living, i The eldest son fell in battle near Boones- i boro, Maryland, on the 2Sd day of Septem-1 ber. is??2. and two children died ir. infancy. There are seventeen living grandchildren. ', in IMS Mr. McCullough was ordained a ! minister in the Episcopal church, and . has ever since been actively engaged in his holy calling, thc field of his labors], bein;: principally in the counties of Spar tanburg, Union and Chester. At present he is serving the churches at Glenn Springs, Gaffney City, Blacksburg and ( Walhalla. During these forty-four years j ( he has taken only one vacation of two ( weeks in the year 1890. Two sons. Messrs. El IL and I). H. McCullough, of Hous ton, Texas, the former accompanied by his wife and child, arrived on Monda} to attend the family reunion. They will remain about two weeks. These sons are officials in the general freight depart ment of the Southern Pacitic railway. . We congratulate Mr. and Mrs. McCul lough on the celebration of their golden j weddin?;, and wish them yet many years , of health, happiness and prosperity. Call for Ratification Meeting.

A Card of Thanks-Political. SENECA, S. C., June 2Sth, 1892. I take this method to thank the nume rous persons throughout the county for J their letters and messages of congratula tion and encouragement for my advocacy of Democracy. Respectfully, JOBS C CXSY. 1 Boo Dots. [Correspondence KEOWEE COUBJEK. j Deo, S. C., June 27,1892. We all echo the sentiments of the old slave .when he exclaimed, "More rain, more ress," but th majority of us ar? finding ourselves ia the state of affairs when his master asked him to repeat "More rain, more grass, massa." Mr. James Mason's two daughters, who have been quite sick for some time, are convalescing. The small grain has been harvested and the sound of the thresher can be heard in almost every direction. The thresher men say that wheat is turning out better than for several years. The blackberry is, as usual, very plen tiful, and we would advise candidates to do their electioneering before this crop is exhausted to insure a support in the dining-room. The school at Cross Koads will begin on July the 4th, by H. L. Singleton. We hope the patrons of this school district will not hesitate about sending the little ones, as Mr. .Singleton is a competent instructor and comes highly recom mended. Judging from the Richland correspond ent's article of last week he insinuates that we are very much behind the times, especially the rides governing the Oconee county Democracy and also the General Assembly. Of course. Mr. R, we do not profess to be so well posted on these mat ters as you try to make it appear that you are. We are at a loss to know where you obtained your information. We are working down here for a railroad and then we think we can keep up with the times, but now since K has shown us the ways and rules of the General Assembly we readily infer that one man would be just as competent to lill the place as another, since he has no right to say what shall be adopted; but this is not the case. It is a matter of course that we all want men to represent us who best know the interest of the country, and then when a bill is introduced and lias been carefully considered, and shall have passed both Houses, then the Gov ernor's signature is attached and it becomes law. He says if our county convention had asked the Chicago con vention through our delegates to adopt thc Ocala platform we could have seen nothing wrong about that, but we hold that they have commenced at the foot instead of thc head. Certainly that is the proper place to begin ai Charity begins at home, and we believe that the ?onventiou did the proper thins in adopt ing the platform, from the fact that the adopting or amending of laws has to pass the Legislature before it goes to the Sen ate. Certainly we are responsible for what we said about the Governor's lan guage and we say it again and know that svery man in this county that values hi? ova interest and regards the Democracy of South Carolina will agree with us on this point. Certainly we have read his Npeeches referred to by Mr. It and have found nothing to be improper or filthy about th ?ni. Our opinion of a lady is like he says of it about power, wisdom, etc.; it is very exalted. Mr. R. we know vou cannot produce statements which rou alluded to concerning Tillman. We bave read all of his speeches and at every [?lace since ls'.xt. and, as we said in the outset, we have never seen any indecent language as yet-nothing more than the rest ot the candidates indulged in-and you can just read your Greenville ?Ver?? or The Stott as much as you please, but you will never convince any fair-minded man that the facts are based on good authority. What do you think of the free pass".' is the question asked us. We acknowledge that it was a mistake and so did our Governor: but ;is he did accept the free pass he was saving expenses to the State, and he did not ride on this pass and then charge it up to tue State, as did our former Governors. Well, we would say that wc are somewhat sur prised at you, Mr. R. Mr. Tillman has already given his reasons for not signing the bill tn extend tlie time for payment of taxes. We would just refer you to his speech at Barnwell. In conclusion, we would ask you some questions: Tell me the difference between the Conserva ti ve Democrats and the Reform Republi cans or Haskellites. What do you think of the Coosaw case and the Thirteen convention, etc? -lust keep coming, Mr. R. Wc all like you. and if you can keep out of the shade till the election conies off we presume you will be thc champion of the Sheep Head party. NED Toon. Our Tomassee Correspondence. TOMASSEE, S. C.. June 27, 1892. DEAK COCKIER : Recently several dam asina r.dns have fallen in this section. However, crops look fairly well. Corn tassels and .'shoots" are making their appearance. The caudidate who "goes a bumming" before crops are laid by will set left. Blackberries are in season now, and there is no danger of anybody starving for awhile, even if "hard times" is the subject of general conversation. There ;s a good deal of sickness in our community just now. Mrs. C. F. Jones, Mrs. J. E. Kelley, Miss Elizabeth Trotter and Miss Belle Rankin are all ill. We hope that each and all may soon be re stored to their wonted health. Master Paul Gilliard. who recently bax! his arm fractured by falling from a wa gon, is convalescent. We hope he is not permanently injured. Why have we no candidates for the Se nate and Legislature '.' Is it possible that none of our citizens want to go to Colum bia to represent our county ? You had better look out, gentlemen, or "Old Jeff" will volunteer to serve his county; and you know he's a farmer. The <e days it seems that the farmer has the inside track, especially if he is liberally sun browned. It is not lons now until "laying-by" time, and it would sound natural to hear people say "picnic," "big meetin' " and big "speakin" " soon. Hello, neighbor! don't those fine shade trees in your yard injure your crop half a mile off ? Miss L. L. Wyokoff, of New German town, X. J., who has been teaching dur ing the winter and spring months in the family of Mrs. C. Jones, leaves Thursday morning for the North. She is an esti mable lady and made many friends dur ing her residence in the South. Mr. J. E. Kelley is at Tomassee on a visit to his wife and relatives. So the Democrats nominated Cleveland again! We fear that this nomination will lose us some votes in the South and West, on account of Mr. Cleveland's well known silver views. But a man of oppo site views would lose strength in the North and East Surely not enough Southerners are foolish enough to vote for tne Third Party to lose Cleveland acj of the solid South. Cleveland before Harrison, no matter what are his opin ions! JEFF PERKINS. From the Piney Woods of the North to the Everglades of the South, druggists are besieged by people with every shade of rheumatism, inquir ing about" Dr. Drummond's Remedy "Will it cure me?" And the druggist points to the fact that the Drummonc Medicine Co., 48-50 Maiden Lane, Nena York, offer a reward of $500 for a cast their remedy will not cure. That kine of answer is satisfying, and the sufferei planks down five dolla's and goes hom? and is cured. Not only rebe ved, hui CUBED! Agents wanted. Here and There. [Correspondence KEOWEE COURTER.] I have just been ont candidating and have enjoyed the occasion so well I must say a few words. We took in Mt Tabor, Fort Madison, Walhalla and Westminster, and everybody is going to vote for me and try to get somebody else to also. So we are expecting a unanimous election. My good partner and myself each have the advantage of the other, viz: His elec tion requires a majority, raine a unan imity, but one will make mine unanimous and several hundred are required for his election. He received much more en couragement than L However, I am not discouraged, for the ladies will be voting before many years. Electioneering is pleasant, for they live in hope, and if I am never elected it will not be my fault, and I will have a conscience void of of fense. In our travels we found corn looking unusually fine and a good deal of it; however, some was in a bad fix owing to so much rain, and all the fair weather has been devoted to the harvest. Three negroes were taken charge of on the farm of .1. A. Harbert for stealing from parties at Westminster. They were the Walker negroes. On Thursday night the Alliance store at Westminster was broken into and quite a number of articles taken, with some small money. From the progress made along this line it must be a profitable busi ness. Probably there is some white man at the head of the affair and he is making a good thing for himself. No pains should be spared in stopping the matter. Many of the houses burned are doubtless plun dered first. The recent robberies and murders of upper South Carolina should demand thc serious consideration of every Christian man. Is there no power in the gospel ? "Js there no balm in Gilead : is there no physician there ?" Can we hope to cast out devils by the prince of devils? Evil must be sup planted by good : there is no affinity be tween them, and hence they are repul sive to each other. Not only do we need God-fearing men in the church, but in business, and especially the legislative, judicial and executive departments, from the supreme magistrate to the most me nial parish officer. Holy influences should be brought to bear upon every condition of humanity. Mr. Caleb Mitchell lost a mule and Dr. Zachary a horse last week. There is considerable sickness about, but nothing serious. Mr. Kuben McAlister died at his home, near Seneca, of consumption, and was buried at Return church on the 24th in stant. ADELPHOS.

Senec?, and during this time the engine ran short of water. The engine was cut loose from the train and taken to Westminster for water, and returning jumped the track about fifty yards West of Conneross bridge and ran over bridge and trestle before thc engineer could get her under control. This was a fearful ride for Engineer Busha. Fireman -, Con ductor Ed. Shelor and Mr. Leland Low ery, of Seneca, but it was accomplisher very quickly and we suppose they did not attempt any calculation, as to what was best to do. The engine cut up the ties batlly and gave both bridge and trestle such a shaking up as to necessitate imme diate repairs. Capt. J. A. Walker and force have about completed the work of repairing at this writing. Col. John S. Yerner visited his brother, Mr. E. E. Yerner. at this place on Wed nesday bust. Miss Lucy Brown, of Martin.

You know 1 told you a few weeks ago That of our school I would tell you some thing more. We haven't very much to tell you to-day, But hope it will interest you, what we do have to say, As it is about our school that we prize so high, And that closes on the fifteenth day of July. Nearly all the other schools are already vacated, But ours continues, as I have already stated ; Nor any of us are sorry, for we all like to ? go: The boys like it much better than to have cotton to hoe. To go to school this season is the girls' great delight, For after studying all day they can sleep so well at night. But soon the day will come when our school must vacate ; Then we'll lay away our hooks and slates: But with not as much pleasure as you all may suppose. For it makes us feel sad for our school to close. Of course we are glad to get to rest for awhile, And enjoy the sweet breezes of our cli mate so mild. We have news to tell you that we know will make you glad We are going to have the best time we ? ever have had. For our teacher told us that on the very last day We might have a picnic before we all scatter away. We want all our school-mates to be sure and be there, And if we don't have a nice time we shall certainly think queer, j There we'll meet all our old school-mates so dear, Who are being trained with the tenderest care, We want all the parents to be present, too. For it will make us feel merrier than if there were only a few ; So come with your baskets tilled up to the top; But guess you will have to thin out the "chicken crop." We hope our teacher will enjoy the day. too, For he has learned us as much as any teacher could do: He used so much patience when we were stumbling along, ' Trying to distinguish '* the right from the wrong." We thank him so much for his close at tention, And many other things too numerous to mention. We all wish him a pleasant vacation, I And hope he is pleased with his new situ- j ation ! Enough so any way to teach for us again, j For about his work this year we've hean! no one complain. : So now if you'll g' ve us space in your pa per this time, ! 'Twill be some time again before we an noy you with another little rhyme.
