there is something in the old pine fields
around Richland conducive to the growth

A matter for the immediate considera

of the passenger train each night, at
Walhalla, the staps and platforms of the
cars and the passage way along the side
of the train becomes at once so crowded
with boys and negroes that it is almost
impossible for passengers to get out and
away from the train. This thing has be
come a grievous annoyance and should
have some attention from the authori

We have had the bol??ai ch?rc?n and
?school house robber in our community
this past week I have ever heard of.
j Some time Monday night, the 3d instant,
! he stripped Richland church of books,
?collection baskets^ pitcher, etc.; Rock
j Springs church, of pitcher and nice col
lection of singing books and Sunday
school library; also disrobed Richland
Academy of her nice window shades.
We have found several of these articles
at different houses between here and
Walhalla, where he had given them for
something to eat. We didn't find the
articles were missing till Sunday, the 10th
instant, and a dilligent search was made
for him, but so far he has not been cap
tured. He will be easily identified ped
dling on second-hand Bibles, hymn books
and church property in general; about
6 feet tall, square shoulders, stoutly
built, 40 to 45 years old, sandy hair, red
|.dish and short, stubby beard and mous
tache, long face and high cheek bones;
when seen last was wearing a suit of blue
overalls, with long, brownish and badly
worn overcoat, small soft black hat;
? gave his name as Frank Wilson. Also,
he sold some books here from Chauga
church. Any one who will capture this
tramp ? and robber will be well paid for
his trouble.
We are having fine weather for farm
ing, and the farmers owning the bottom
lands along Conneross and Richland
creeks have made good usc of the dry
season and have about finished planting
their low lands. A considerable amount
of guano has been put under bottom
corn here; so this, in part, accounts for
the heavy purchase of fertilizers. The
10th seemed the day set apart for start
ing to plant cotton and a number of our
farmers began then. The cry here is,
"Where can I buy any cotton seed?*'
The planting will be cut short on account
of no seed. "So mote it be."
Mr. W. E. Dendy left us Mr.nday last

A CALL,
All the young men of Walhalla are re
spectfully solicited to attend a meeting
to be held at Reid's Hall next Tuesday
night. April 18, at 8j o'clock, to talk over
the building of a nice "Fark" on Col
lege Hill. Such a park would be an
ornament to the town and is actually
necessary as a place where residents and
visitors may enjoy a few hours' recrea
tion apart from the monotonous scenes
of the street. .
The Walhalla Comedy Company have
in reserve a fund towards this purpose,
which is available at any time.
Now, with this and some aid from the
Town Council and the hearty co-opera
tion of all the young men in the town,
there is no reason why College Hill may
not be speedily converted into a garden
spot of beauty, in which the whole town
would feel much pride. ?
We, the undersigned, will give our aid
in every reasonable way, and not only this,
but manual labor towards the construc
tion of the park. Can we not .have com
pany? Then do not forget to meet at
Reid's Hall Tuesday night, April 18,1893:

I have heard o\_ ^
last Sunday evening I .\.UJC,
result of one. As I stood ftipon the dock,
just before the boat sailed a^way, I noticed
a young lady coming in some haste, as
though she was fearful of - being too late
for the boat, but soon I saw she was not
seeking the boat. It wa's a different jour-1
ney she sought. Reaching the head off
the dock she threw herself into the river.
She was, however, rescued after conside
rable strangling. I doa't know how the
love affair is getting on since.
Thursday night witnessed a great whis
key burning here. Eighteen thousand
barrels were consumed by the dames.
The blue flames leaped forth with fury,
and as it ran down the streets burning,
shot out from the top of the building r

sight was wonderful to behold. I
The telephone wires will soon all bo t

THIRD PARTY LEADER SPEAKS.
Be Says Irby, Latimer & Co. Ought
Not to Have Asked for Anything.
?Til," Colombia State.]
On Wednesday .Mr. J. W. Bowden, the
Third Party leader in this State, was
tsked about the Third Party proclivities
>f Irby, Latimer it Co.. and he talked
ntercstingly on the subject, but declined
o allow its publication. As the Journal
?ubi?shes a talk with him on the same
?ne, covering what he said, it is now re
iroduced here, as follows:
"Going back to the convention held in
it. Louis last fall, Mr. Bowden said that
t was not a Third Party convention, but
. gathering, in conference, of all labor
rganizations, to consider tre political
ituation of the country. The fact that
liane gentlemen w?*e at that convention
ced not necessarily stamn them as Third
'artyites, and so far ax that conference
rent, the charge against *i>em af \Vash
igton is not true.
" 'But,' said he. 'when we ?.o'"- Jown
) the political situation, I would say
lat they are not entitled to eonsidera
on at President Cleveland's hands, for
:iey are distinctly opposed to him and
is priueipies, call them what you may.
do not think that they have the sym
atby'of their followers at home in their
pp!?cation for office at his hands. If
ley would come home and rest for a
:w weeks I feel quite certain that they
ould not make further requests for
atronage under Mr. Cleveland.' "

nize Strait and the Others.
[Special to Hie- Colombia Journal."
WASHINGTON, D. C., April S.-Irby
nd McCaTla called on the President,
gain today. Cleveland indicated an
itention to take the geographical posi
ion of the Carolina applicants into con
ideration.
Irby called on the Postmaster General
Iiis morning. He says Bissell intimated
hat he intended to recognize as Demo
rats Strait, Latimer and McLaurin.
iissell also said that marked editorials
if certain newspapers containing attacks
in these Congressmen were thrown in
he waste basket and bad no effect.
Irby says the statement which ap
>eared in the same newspaper quoting
lim as saying that bc was working to
leep the factions divided is a wilful He.
Ie sr-.ys that he does not want to see the
actions divided, but wants peace- and
mity. He declares that a great many
intrue statements have been published
ibout him recently.

Richmond Preparing a Royal Time for
Her Visitors to the Immigra
tion Convention.
RICHMOND, VA.. April H.-Mayor Elli
son, in connection with the reception
committee from the chamber of com
merce, is making every possible arrange
ment for the pleasant entertainment of
the Governors and others who are to
meet in convention here to-morrow. So
far as can be learned there will bc about
thirty of the distinguished visitors in the
city. The full programme of entertain
ment is not completed, but it is safe to
say that old Virginia will keep up her
reputation for hospitality. Gov. Foster
and party from Louisiana will-arrive in
Richmond tc morrow morning. Gov.
Brown, of Maryland, and Carr, of North
Carolina, the latter accompanied by two
gentlemen and two ladies, will be here
this evening. Gov. Jones, of Alabama,
and wife. Commissioner of Agricultuie
Lane and two members of his staff will
arrive to-night and remain in their pri
vate car until after breakfast Gov. W.
J. Stone, of Missouri, accompanied by
his wife and friends, will be here to-night
Gov. Brown, of Kentucky, Gov. Nor
then, of Georgia, and Gov. J. M. Stone,
of Mississippi, have wired their regrets
at not being able to attend the conven
tion.
Carefully prepared reports show that
the cotton acreage Has been increased 20
per cent in Texas and li? per cent in
Georgia. The amount of commercial fer
tilizer used in the Southeastern cotton
States is grenier this year than it has been
for several years past. Despite the warn
ings of the faithful press, it is evident
that the cotton crop this year will be
much greater than it was last year. The
result will most inevitably be lower
prices. The indications, on the other
hand, are that there will be a scarcity of
grain and bacon in the Weat, and the
prices for these products will be higher.
lt is, perhaps, too late to reduce the cot
ton acreage, but there is still time for
farmers to prepare to raise all their pr*>
visions at home. The man who'depends
on cotton this year to buy his provisions
makes a mistake for which he will be
sorry next winter.-Columbia Begister.
