N. Wells, a Methodist presiding elder, who
ltad said in a recent.sermon : "The populat

both by natural inon ase and l?y immigration.
The worst elcn rats of other countries,
the lower strata of m eU-ty of Europe,
the very dregs of humanity, are flocking to
this country. Hy thousamls and tens of
thousands the vilest subjects of European
kingdoms arc coming to the United States
and as soon as they are settled in this country
they begin attempting to destroy its beneficent
institutions and customs which arc the
product of tlie deepest thought of a liberty
loving people. Unaccustomed to liberty,
tlicy know it not nnd mistake license for
liberty. Here is a danger menacing our
country anil Christians should pray the All
Wise and Omnipofent Creator to guard this
free land from this danger, and from
to prevent true rnd pa'ri'tic citizens
being contaminated anil that lie may hasten
the conversiin of thess iniss-s of ignorant
foreigners into pure and God fearing men
and women."
The attacks on tlie m'ni?tcr were diroct
ami indirect. One of the most foicible
speakers devoted his entire response to a
t >a?t to the reverend gent'emnn. It was a
banquet and more of this class of talk is
expected. The Irish have also taken exception
to the remarks of Dr. Wells.

DON'T NEGLECT TO ATTEND THE j
SALE OF TOWN LOTS IN THE
| NEW TOWN OP EAST UNION. 1
?
I
There may not be "millions in it,"
but there is certainly money in every
lot, for the first purchaser.
East Union is bound to be quite a 1
town in a very few years.
It is the best place in the County (
for a Steam Gin, Saw and Grist i
Mill, and one will be built there 1
soon. 1
With all the advantages of the 0
Town Schools, churches and market, f
a cheap home and farm lot can be r
bought at East Union, almost ad- ^
joining the corporate limits of the j.
County Scat, escaping the heavy t
town taxes and avoiding all other
inconvenient responsibilities of those n
living in town. 0
It is a Grand Chance for persons I
with small means to double their
money quick: *
A plat of the town, with the lots j
all numbered and plainly shown, can t
be had at the Times office.
?aT Gov. Tillman has appointed II. ft. 8
Thoma?, of Sumter, Railroad Commissioner! I
in place of cx-Gov. lion ham, deceased. ^
omo little stir in this community
last Tuesday, was caused by the announce- ?
ment that Brooxy Holmes, a young colored ^
woman, had that morning given birth to '
triplets, and that all were doing well. This ^
is a prolific County, in more ways than big
co*.ton crops. *
Kdt" Great complaint is made of the bad S
condition of the roads ; and that in eome h
sections no Iload Overseers have been ap- r
pointed, or, if appointed, they do not do their
duty, and cannot be found. This is particu- (
larly the case on the I'inckncy road, which,
wc are told, is now a'inost impassable in
some places.

iry extraordinary will be done, because the JK
rcumstancei do not demand anything very
itrnordinary. A railroad commii-sioner
ill be created, and some other legis'n*ion
feeling the railway companies in tbe State, *
t a minor way, which sa<d companies will
>t care for or will hardly know, and which * V
ie balance of the Texaus will ever rcalizo. 1
The first bill inroducel in the T* xns
nuse wus to create a railroad o<nnmission,
id many bills have been introduced rotating
1 some way to railway oorupanics. The
10s' important, so fir, liowover, is the one
renting a commission and oue requiring the I
tilruad compan:oa to provido separate J
inches for white nnd colortd passengers.?
es, there has been one other bill introduced,
diioh is 107 important to the lawmakers
icmselves. nnd the object of thai bill is
othing moro uor less than to increase the
ay of legislators, noiwithsianding it was
ndcrs'oo I and believed that one of the , ^

Only a few days ago at Dodd City, in

skii-g the prcrcnt legislature to pass a law o
trd.i'it a poison not alio to pi ore that
ic had paid a poll lax from viling in any
I'ecl'on, which, in my liumb'o judgment, ^~
rould be a good law here, bocause we havo
n this S'.atc many very smart Aleoks" who
;o from ( lace lo p ace and take large rtook
n all elec'ions, who never pay any poll tax
ir any other tax?or their accounts either,

list this State, with all of its boasted school

Ln*-t year's cotton orop was the largest
iver raised in the Suite, and I suppose there
vns )e*s money realized out of it, in piopori
n to the amount, of any crop over proluccd,
owing in pirt t3 the low price of the
itnplo auu the heavy cost of gathering the
lante.
Corn was almost n failure in llurihe^BK '
Pexa?, consequently the price is high, wim
.ny, oats and.all feed stuff scarce and high,
vliicli mnkca thing look somewhat gleomy
o rnauy ; but. of course, it is reasonable to
mpposc that the majority of us will not know
he difference in a twelve months.
