State oiid norer "ea'g his words" is in Columbia as a delegate ? > the Straightout Cm feronoo. Capt Blackwoll statos that ho was a mombor of tho House of Representatives i-om Edgefield Coun'y during tho sessions of 181M-S6-SC and 'S7; that during his lorm of sorvioo Capt B- R. Tillman asked bioi'to ote for the ropoil of the lien law, and that when ho (Blackwell) Isld bim that ho could unvote for its repeal because it wou'd depute his poor white constituents of the moans of raising money to make their c Capt Tillman replied : "Well, put them to workforwawp, and you can oontrol them" ^wiw?aMMWRplPMBkwell names Mr. S. T. Harmon, of EdgeftolU County, as one who wes presont and heard this conversation. Should Capt. Tillman deny it Capt Blackwell is willing to refresh his memory. For the Times. Interesting Meeting at Kelton kbcton .tnlw 99 _tu 1 ' - , - ~v ??. * uv vuivnaiu 1UOUV xurnishcd by the Kelton Sons of Temperance . surpassed the expectations of its friends. Speeohes were ma to by Messrs. 8. S. Stokes, T. B. Butler and J. Q. Going; all were on the line of Temperance and were well receive d. After a superb comic recitation by Miss , Lula Wood, dinner was announced. There was dinner enough for all. and at the ex- 1 ceeding low price, twonty-five cents for 1 ad ults, and fifteen cents for children. About ] twenty-five dollars was realized above all expensos, for the Tcmpcranco Library. After dinner the candidates and "Cupid" . took charge of the meeting. 1 fool some 1 hesitation m trying to give as full and conciso an account of "Cupid's" work as Thuoydides would have written ; but the candidates are public servants, and Captain Tillman says we have a right to Bay what 1 we know and think about them (we all I swear by Tillman on Pea Ridge,) and our ( people demand a thorough discussion of all issues involved in that campaign. After some well timed remarks on temperance with an humorous termination by Messrs. Scott and ] Morgan, J. M. Geo and Miss Eliza A. Garner, , ^^^liscusscd some of the questions that are ^^^giiatiog the Democracy of the State. As ^^Khero are no questions of policy in the office | to which Mr. Gto is an ospiraut, and as our | minds aro all settled on questions of State . affairs, Mr. Goo very sonsibly and ably discussed National issues. Miss Garner was then introduced, and set < all the candidates, from Tillman, Bratton, and j Earlo down, a good cxamplo. After a few remarks on temperance, she proceeded to a calm and sensible discussion of tho public school system and tho duties of County i School Commissioner. While I aui one of , those who think there are enough competent men to man the ship of State, 1 am free to confess that she is in my bumble opinion, 1 fully MmpaUni Ia All lU? oIV.? i School Commissioner. The temperance movcraont was inaugurated at Keiton by Mr. S. S. Stokes about one year 1 ago. When tho Kelton Division of tho Sons 1 of Temperance was organized with twenty i j members. It now has enrolled seventy odd ; members, and thoy all attend very regularly, and is the most popular society among the young people on Pea Ridge, furnishing an 1 over ready means of social recreation. Tho influence excited in behalf of temporance is 1 ii rot-i.- _ . .vvvftui?ja ujr nil. HUlie QOL attempting to dictate lo our seniors, we sometimes feel thai 1 the fathers and mothers, who it appors to us should be the most interested in inculcating temperance precepts, ore utterly indifferent. There are, howovor, a few uoblo exceptions and we only regret that there are not more.? The object of the entertainment, as before stated was to raise funds to purchase more books for 8. of T. Library. Wo havo already a small nucleus of thirty volumes, and hope from time to time to make a Library worthy of the Division. The sentiment of Pet 11 id go has undergono a radical change during the l*st few years. Tlere on ^ the mage a n?w years ago ice tara or a temperance picnic would have been booted at. indeed the reputation of Pea ltidgc is to-day as noted for eobricy as it was a few years ago for rowdyism and drunkenness. J. C. 0. For the Tiuxs. Cross Keys Township Democratic Club. A meeting of this club was held at Cross Keys, Union County, S. C., July 19tu, 1890, Chairman Y. 8. Bcbo, presiding. After the election of delegates to county convention, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : Whereas, a ^reat majority of us aro engaged in a3riculture, and believing that discrimination against the farmer is unfair aod unuemooranc, ana nenoving luriner tbai the present Stale administration lias failed to bring aboiH tho needed reform in the existing extravagance of the government, pud l'ia^ ,'10 ftbovo evils are e, to the unu wnernm/ u Columb'a the '27th,~lR'>0, and said convention deemed it ueces'a'y to adopt a certain platform, and a'so to suggest the name of Capt. B. K. Tillman as the farmers cand:da,e for Governor of South Carolina, as the proper and most suitable person to carry out the ideas as expressed in said platform ; therefore, be it Resolved, 1. That wo, the democrats of Cross Keys Township, Union County, recognize and endorse tho heroic sorvicos already rendered in the cause of economical govern molt, mm mo gonevji auvanccment of the people's interest, end that we have implicit conMance in the honesty, ability and fea-.-le.'Sim* of Capt. 11. 11, Tillman to carry to a successful issuo the work of refoim as indicated in said platform. 2. That we pledge ourselves to use all honorable menus to secure delegates to the county Convention who are in full sympathy with the formers movement, and that our delegation urge the county Convention to send to the convention in Colombia, that has been receutlv ca'^d by 'be State Chairman, to be held on the 13th day of August 1890, only such men at are in sympathy with us, and that (hey bo instructed to go for nomlnation and to remain iu convention until their efforts ore crowned with success, "or to the end," and to vote for B. R. Tidman 1 forever. 8. That wo endorse the pisiform of the , March Cmventioa in toto; and that wo will not suppartany candidate fir offios unless we know liim to be a friend and advo- 1 cate of said p'atform. I 4. That we pledge ourselves to give our divided support to tho regular nominees . the deinocratlo party. r?. That we feel grateful to the Charleston World for the support it has gven us, and would recommend it to nil lovers of truth and fair play. That we condemn tlis Ntict and Courier and Col. Earle for accusing us of not being loyal to the democratic party, of 1 which we, tho farmers, oompose shout 80 i per oent. ?( 6. That we note with regret the part being taken by General Hampton against our 1 candidates?we have honored hiin so much. bo often, nncl so 1?ng?and wo condemn tlio Mine, and would suggest that lie go back to Washington and let us alone. 7. That wo ondemn in the strongest terms the meeting hold lest week at the call < of A. C. Ilaskell ia Columba, consisting <f 1 so-called "Straightont democrats," to be in i our opinion as an independent more of 1 broken down a'istocata, and note with re- * gret that Cross Keys was represented in' \ that undemocratic conrentinn. 8. That these resolutions be sent to the Charleston World and our county paper for I P'fdirt cation. 1 tnos. H. Oorb, Y. 8. BOBO, t Beo'y. Pres. < ,V:?. ' * THE ALLIANCE DEPARTMENT., N. 0. LITTLEJOHN, - Edito* ASBURY, S. C. C0RRK8P0NDIRG SECRETARY! TUo name itself signifies one who writes and sends ineesagos ; and a corresponding secretary of an Alliance, seems to me, ough? to be one who writes and tend* messages for the good of his Alliance. But my brethren, your poor editor seldom ever receives a letter from any of our secretaries. In faoi, he lias never had any communication from more than five out of all the Alliances in the cc:i:ity. I am inebned to think lhat they do not know that lliey aro required, oxpected, and deeired to perform the duties of tho office. If they write communications none ever stray to the anxious editor at Asbury. Tho most of them must bo single men and back their messages to Miss , I do not knew who. The last one I received was from tho Secretary of Pinckncy. Gucbs he is married. Our good friend of the Sanluo Alhaucc use to correspond occasionally with tho Alliance editor; but a'as! Well. Mr. Stokes, perhaps you had best look out for a marriage notioe, and perhaps a big cake from E. W. J. My mouth will?whilo you, Mr. Stokes, will feast. How I wish every worthy young man in our Alliances had an accomplished, economical, and good wife Like some I know. And, by the way, my brethren, a good wifo is a grand investment for an honest, earnest young farmer to make, let his moans be ever so limited. Our word for it, it is Lho very best ttock ho can invest in, and one, that is always above par. It is worse than foolith talk tbat wc often bear from young men, that ns soon as thoy make a fortune then they expect to marry.? My Mend, if yours is tho light kind of a girl, she will bo willing to telpyou secure tho necessaries of life, and how much inoro pleasant for you Loth, to feel ihat you have been co-workers for tbo comforts that you icquire and ciyoy together. But my pencil is wandering from my subject?I will return: Brethren, pleoso take an active part with your editor and help him mako your part of our paper interesting aud prod'able. Some of you have made?<u yet, unfulfilled?promises. I am ready to make every acknowledgment of gratitude f-r any favors shown to tko Alliance tuluiuu, On!y two OCUtS will bring to Asbury any of your ideas, observations, or any experiments, or any exIvnnfjd frAm ntHnr nawin/rliAala + ? 2 ? ..

Sometimes 1 see communications from my brothren of Union county to other papers nod I think they surely do not appreciate our efforts or they would help us. I* some one will tell us how to induce some of our intelligent, and noble women to exchange ideas, facts and opinions, we will be grateful. Ladies, your communications would be corrected, and your names need only be known to the editor, oud you would doubtless be of great benefit to ouch other in the everyday affairs of life. l'leate write, ASPIRATIONS. lily reader, what are our aspirations ? Are we content to pass through the world as the beast that perish ? To live only fur self by simply gratyfying the lower elements of our nature, and then in the ago* tovome as our memory fades from earth to have no rooro that could be said thau that such beings as we were born, married, boro ch ldreu, and died ? Do no higher thoughts nad nobler purposes possess our souls ? Do we have no heaven-born desire to leave behind us on the shorts of time aomo traces of grateful rcuiemh?t,iu ik.

Are wo not laboring, dear fiieods, thai when the final hour comes, we may be lulled to sleep with the sweet oonsoiousness that we will not be forgotten?

A BETTER DAY COMING. Cheer up, brother farmer, thore is a belter day coming. The gloomy night with its Egyptiaa darkness, so oppressively felt by the agricultural c'asses of our pc>plo, is giving place to the hallowed light of a glorious morning. A God of just, co is uuu'isukcably saying to the oppressed farmer, '-open your eyes ye tiller of my soil, to your surrounding and east aside from your brawny arms the ebaus of oppression, rise up and prov e the independence and noblouoss of your calling." Let us, toy brethion, heed this gracious command and obey. If ire do rot, sin lutli at the do.ii*. The entire vote of (be Sta'c of Ue- rgia is one bundled and fifty thorn and, one hundred thousand of which belongs to tbo Alliance. Surely none would deny their just position among the representatives of our common county. Suith Carolina has a majority of votes in ibo Farmers Alliunce, and ihcy expcot to use and not abuse their power, but to work for the general good of our common counIry. Since "charily begins at home," let us begin tbo reformation in cur own homes, which are the corner stones of evorv prosperous people and government. Got* work, my brethren, and tear away the mortgages with which your homes s o plastered. Then beautify and adorn them and n ako them more nttrac.ive for your se'.f-gaorificmg wives and dependent children. Act the part vf rnorgetio, honest men, and all will he well. m Tin Star-Eyrd Goodess Predicts War.? Hie end of slavery was a great war of seotlona.
