"CURS" AND COYOTES " '' The Jl'jisOr chose Sunday morning to ? declare, on the authority of an unidenti- I tied correspondent, that during Mr. Dibble's V recent conference with Conservatives at f, Greenwood the Tillnianitcs were compared to "curs'* and ' coyotes." The organ commented a* follows : i( "Talk about jour slander and abuse! a Has anything been said or writteu by the w Reformers that, for low-down, scurrillous abuse, can compare with those Greenwood haranguesThey show venom nud hntc in <1 the breast of the old ring-rule crowd; and tl see tig an overwhelming defeat staring them w in the face, are denouncing, ia the most offensive manner, every man who refused to n vote for their corporation-dictated ticket and u the ousUvement of yur farmers and toiling j masses. "When Sheppard and hu friends come hi before you and ask your votes, bear ia mind ^ that at Dibble's Greenwood meeting you were compared by ono of the speakers to "curV and "coyotes*" C, ' V. lit 11 rv IIICO IUI lll.it \\ ; r? 1, \J OrgUIl* pi grinder of short memory! For if those ?( wor ja were used at all they were used with <|tu>tulion marks, ami were not directed against the Tillmanitea. m The epithet enra" was aj.plicd by 1 ieu- |J tenant (lover ror Gary, of Abbeville county, several uionths ?jr?in a public speech?and it was applied to the country newspapers which opposed the re-election of Governor fr Tillman and himself. In The epithet ' coyotes'' was applied some time later by the Abbeville Medium, the ioeal Tillman organ, to the same Conscrva- **' live county papers, because of their opposition to Til.mail. 'J'he State, at the time of their utterance, 11 contemned the use of these epithets, as in- c suit inn 10 Conservatives. It is truly tl glad that the Tillman organ, in a moment of h &rgelfulncs?, has at last characterized them h -oven more strongly. Lieutenant Governor Gary and Editor a; It oh Hemphill, you stand convicted, by bi Uovern<>r Jitliuau d own put cuUr, p.ivale a organ, of tiding ".o w-dow n, sctu rilloiis abus-*."

The Maobetb Mill. lu our brief notice of this enterprise last week, it may have appeared to sums that we wrro inclined to throw co'd water on thu enterprise, which was far from our intcn. tion.

Mr. HoiyoH.?I fully agree with Pro Bone Jifhlico, tb?pt yfe fhoijld have good men for County Commissioners, and I ltave B0 objection to tlie two men mentioned ; they are men of ability. How is the reform to brought about? I have enquired very minutely ioto tlto present financial condition of lite Coumy nnd find it much better than it has been for years. AVc must remcinper that the County Commissioners have nothiog to do with school claims; that is in the hands of other officers and, I understand there has been no b'riugc bu'qdir.g or repairing done, except one or two very trifling jobs, 'in' |he'laet j twelve months or longer, but wfiat Has been pa:d for as soon as the work was doneThe Commissioners cannot cut down Court nnd Sheriff expenses ; these Are necessary expenses nnd must be met. Trial Justices nnd Cons ables must be pa'd, nnd no one will say they are paid too much. I would like to explain the bonded debt of this County, but do not feel at liberty to ti^ke ^ny more of your valuable space. # ' Pf?1**!?A Card, For the Timks.

Last Saturday evening thl* section was r'sited with tho meet icnifio storins of rain, thunder and liKhtnirc. that we have had since the Dtb of CKtob r, 1884. The storm ccnire crossed Broail river near the mouth of Thickcty Creek. The down-pour of rain was simply immense. Mr. F- A. Ooforth's crop whs badly damaged by the overflowing of the Corolher's branch. Mr. Jonathan Uuiec and Mr. Wibiam Fowlei, each had a mule ki led by lightning. Mr. Buice and Mr. Lcm Browa, with three coloro.l men, had gone into the "rain house," hitching their mules on the outsiic to somo bushes within four feet of the house. A bolt of lightning conic and killed both mules and stunne! the occupants of the house Mr. Buice says the nun and mules were all within a circ'e of 15 feet when the stroke came. Mr. Fowler's mule for, which he hid paid $155, was killed dead?never kicked. Mr. Buicc's mule, which was a splendid' animal, worth perhaps $125, struggled a few minutes before it died. While we sympathize with the gentlomen in the loss of their initios, wo cs.oclally congratulate Mr. Buice nu<1 Mr. Bruwn, and tlia oolorwl men wi'h them, upon thc:r having escaped instant death. I Miss Anna Mill vood died la?t Thursday I evening, after a long and painful illness, in the 15th year of her age. She joined the i Baptist church at Abingdon (.'reek four j years ago and has lived up to its requirement?, so far as we know. She was also a member of the Snletn Sabhat|\ ephool and was a regular n(tcnt|qnt as long as she was able. Iter, last days on earth were made happy by joining her friends in prayer. A precious one from us is gone, A voico wo loved is etilled; A place is vacant in her hotqe Which never out ho filled, God in Ilis wisdom has recalled The boon Ilis love had given; And though her body s'umbcrs here, Her eoul is safe in heaven, Crops qvo good.
