Grauiteville News. From Our Regular Correspondent. Gkanitevili-e, S., C. ) May 24, 1886.1 The Nickle Club met at Mr. Thorpe’s on last' Tuesday night, arid a large crowd was present, including some visitors from Augusta and Aiken. The evening was pleasantly spent in dancing, vocal and instrumental music and other amusements. A Temperance meeting was held at the Methodist church on Thursday night, addresses were delivered by Rev. A. E. Cornish, Win. Gulledge aud Thos, Jennings. Their remarks were eloquent arid impressive, and jvere listened to with profound atten tion by the large audience present to greet them. Mr. Wni. Marchant’s infant daugh ter died on Wendesday, after a short illness; another little angel gone home. The sympathies of all are with the bereaved parents. The saddest death that has occurred tere for sometime, is that of James Powell, Jr., he was a young man in the prime of life, and just married, barely three short months ago. A few days ago he was taken sick with pneumonia, and the disease turned into brain fever, which terminated his life. He was a smart, industrious young man, and had he lived would have made a good citizen, He was a member of the Methodist church, and prepared to die, as in his conscious intervals, he made beautiful prayers and asked forgiveness of his sins. His funeral was preached by the Rev. Mr. Wrototi, his pastor, from the resi dence of his father, to a large crowd of sympathizing friends and relatives. His remains were followed to the cemetery by ail present. The sympa thies of the entire community are with the bereaved widovy and family in their lamented loss. “Jesus! our shadowy path illume, And teach the chasten’d mind To welcome all that's left of good, Wo all that’s lost resigned.” The entertainment at the Opera House, that was to have been on Fri day last, was postponed on Account of the inclement weather until Wednes day night 26th inst. TheO.C.Dramatic Club invited all its friends to be present then, to witness the amusing and bright little Comedy, “Down by the Sea.” They expect a large audience to help them with the charitable ob ject they have in view. Don’t forget to come Wednesday night. Wm. Duncan was married to Miss Mollitf Brown, of Clifton, on Thurs- Correspondence of the Aiken Recorder, day. May their future lives be happy and prosperous. Styx. Vaucluse Items. From Our Regular Correspondent. Vaucluse,8. C., ) May 23,1886.} Thera were two mistakes occurred in printing our article last week—we wrote that little Robbie Cook was about twenty months old when he died, and that his father was acci dentally killed about two years ago, and your errors are there. You made “Robbin Cook” out of Robbie Cook, and you said that his age was about twelve months, when I wrote that his age was about (20) twenty months aud not twelve; the fact is little Robbie Cook was twenty months months and two days old, and his father, a most excellent young gentleman, Was kill ed about three weeks before little Robbie was born. We will take it all back about being very dry around Vaucluse now, for we have had rain; rain and that of the hardest kind all the week, and the heavy rains have almost ruined all the gardens in the place and have tilled both of the large mill ponds above high water mark. Owing to some accident between this point and Columbia, no South bound train reached Vaucluse yester day before half-past eight last night and some of the trains from the South Carolina Railroad have passed since. On last Tuesday morning Mr. Hen ry and Mrs. Kenney Koon lost an other little girl, it was their baby and their last child. The funeral services were conducted bv Rev. J. B. Brig- man on the following day and the dear child was laid by her sister who preceded her only two weeks. Dysentery is prevailing in and around Vaucluse to an alarming ex tent, attacking both young and old. Mr. Win. Clark, of Vaucluse, has the contract to furnish the shingles for thff Baptist Church in Graniteville Twenty-Six. The Farmers’ Convention Discussed. From Our Regular Correspondent. White Pond, S. C., 1 May 20, 1886.} I have been stud3'ing the “doings” of the Farmers’ Convention, ever since its “doings” were published, and I see in it, nothing but an at tempt at class Legislation. Mr. Tillman’s address at the open ing of the convention is full of venom and his resolutions are equally so. The object of the convention seems to me to have been to subvert the present State govern ment and revolutionize the present order of things. The platform of the convention, shows a subversive and revolutionary spirit. As already hinted by the press in several parts of the State, the carrying out of the pro gramme of the convention will neces sitate an additional tax. The de mands of the policy mapped out will certainly entail a heavy expense. And then the AgriculturalCollege and til. Female College will be of no ben efit except to a very limited number of our citizens. Oply a certain class of our people could avail tlieiriselves of the benefits of these institutions. We have a State college now, and a fine college at that, and how many of our people are benefitted by jt? Enopgh has already been said about the proposed management of the Ag ricultural 'apd Mechanical College to convince any unprejudiced mind of its futility. TheQth resolution of the convention does away entirely with the present Agricultural Bureau of the State, and places all our agricul tural interests in the hands of a board elected by a farmers convention, and all this \yithout the authority of law. Hence, instead of a bonded officer, we have an irresponsible board, or at least without proper bonds. The increase of the fertilizer tax will all come out of the .farmer, as well as every other levy. This, how ever, is indirect. What if ft is? Is it not a tax? A tax is a tax, whether direct or indirect. All this is to go to siipjiort this Agricultural College, they propose to raise $50,000 this way and $5,700 from the Hatch bill to sus tain the college after the people of the State have been taxed to establish it, and all this to give an agricultural edu cation to the sons of farmers, who are of themselves able to give their sons a collegiate education, while the mass es must be content with the two mill system. Who cannot scq in all this a system of class legislation unparal leled in the history of this proud old State? All this too under the guise of reform, Mr. Editor, I have looked forward to this time with no small legree of anxiety for ten years. This programme'too is only the beginning. Revolutiousjnever go kward. In the language of the Jewish Sanhe- drean, let me say, “If we lot this man (these things) alone, the Romans will come and take away our place and country.” I know that many of our (small) farmers will differ with me in this matter, but, I see or think I see in all the proceedings of the conven tion, a spirit of aristocracy, a kind of disregard for the poor man and his rights, that is appalling. In my next mav venture some other suggestions. White Pond. P. S.—We had a severe sand storm ast Saturday evening, beginning at 7 and lasting until 7.80 P. M., which did considerable damage to the young crops especially cotton. To-day we are having an abundance of raiu, the reaviest rainfall for several months, ;he earth is thoroughly wet now for the ttrst time since February. Mrs. Eliza Starr, mother of Mr. J. K. Burckhalter, died at the residence of the latter, on the morning of the 12th inst., aged 96 years. It is report ed that H. M. Thompson, of Willis ton, died suddenly last night, have not heard particulars. Mr. J. P. Lee ost a child last week from pneumo nia, and his wife and mother were both very low at the time. W. P.

Lottville, May 23.—Moses Daw- sou, a drunken colored tough, refused to pay his fare on the Owensboro’ and Nashville Road to-night, and was ejected by the combined efforts of Conductor Thompson and the passen gers near Russelville, Ky. As the Sleepy Hollow, ) Aiken County, S. C. f >• May 17, 1886. ) I can see nothing in the pa pers now but farmers’ convention. They call it a farmers’ convention, but if the papers are to be relied upon think it is a little mixed. The Bible tells us we cannot serve two masters. How then can a man be a farmer aud a lawyer or merchant or anything else, he will neglect the one and improve the other, it is impossi ble for him to do justice to two call ings. He may have a smattering knowledge of all the vocation's of life, but such a man will never accomplish anything. But for the convention, I think the remarks of Mr. Prince of Anderson, the most appropriate reported from the convention. Cotton is what has brought our land to what it is. We strain every nerve to raise the fleecy staple, with our smokehouses and corn cribs in the far west. Our manufac turer in the North and our fruit brought to us from another section. And when our cotton is brought to market what is the.result? The pur chaser takes it at his own price. Why, simply because you' stayed at home to make the cotton, but you failed to board at home, Mr. Editor I should like to meet Mr. Dargan and shake hands with him. You can’t gag that man. Oh! for many Dargau’s to come out boldly’ and say wiiat they have to say, even if it is to levy a tax upon a man, or a claste of men, arid as Mr. Williamson of Sumter, expresses it, “Don’t Btab a Man in the Back.” Mr. Editor if I understand this de sire to raise an extra tax, it is to raise money to build a college for the far mers or rather an agricultural college. Now, sir, it appears to me that agri culture can be best learned at home, aud as for the college, there are enough scattered all over our sunny land, where the tuition is free to edu cate the majority of the children, if not all. But sir, how few farmers of j your acquaintance can spare his son j from the farm, or if he by flint of hard I labor, and the wife of his bosom to ; act as cook, dairy-maid and house keeper, can spare their boy, where then I is the money with which to pay his board, and keen him in that style, that other boys go in ? Why, sir, they will not only have t« sell the old brin- dle cow, but the old farm will be mortgaged to its fullest extent. And when" the son, (for whose sake all this was done ) returns, he finds the dear old mother looking old and feeble the father worn out and in debt, and the farm mortgaged to the last dollar, in short everything has gone wrong. Home is not what it once was. He knows(being aSoloman in his own es timation ) that he can do better than father did. He will not be a country fanner, but will make for himself a Muyne. So away he goes leaving father to work out the debt,(if he ever gets out) aud mother to be maid of all work. Is not that generally the way college boys turn out? What our country needs Mr. Editor, is no more big colleges to bankrupt the poor man, and educate the rich, but more good competent teachers, scat tered throughout the length, and train moved oft Dawson jumped on i breadth of our country’, who while they the train aud began to fire his revolver teac i, the c hiid the various branches j:oung ideas, Davis Bridge Items. \ « Correspondence of The Aiken Recorder. Davis Bridge, Aiken, 8. C., ) - May 21st, 1886.} The Spring Branch Baptist Church has called the Rev. W. H. Moseley to supply the pulpit, and the many friends of Mr. Moseley will accord him a hospitable welcome in our midst. The good people of Windsor have secured the services of Miss McEweb, of your t5wn, as a teacher.

We wish her a pleasanttime. 1 ’ On' Sunday last your correspondent had the pleasure of hearing an able address by the Rev. J. A. Segler, at the Dean' Swamp Church, In Orange burg county. Air. Editor, you ought to see the lit tle • dear^ of Dean Swamp! Their bright smiles and winning ways are enough to penetrate the heart of the i most obstinate sinner. The coming campaign is promising tobea'Very interesting one, and the cry of the day is, are you a prohibi tionist or are you in favor of the poisonous dram bottle? Prohibitiop is gaining ground, and may the cause march on to glorious victory in th6 near future. On Saturday last about seven o’clock in the evening, a considerable wind storm passed over this section without doing much damage, although the cloud was one of the most threatening I ever looked at We very often miss getting The Recorder on Tuesday and iiave to wait until Friday, as our mail comes only twice a week from Williston to Davis Bridge. Please see if this can’t be rectified. The farmers in the neighborhood are rapidly getting their cotton to a stand, and the crop is looking well The cotton choppers are now in their glory; foi; joeing onp acre of cotton thev get a peck of meal, one quart of molasses and a pound or so of bacon, and they can live on that for a week or more and loaf from one plantation to the other, as many of the youuy one’s do. Gardens are very backward though in good order. Yesterday morning \ye were visited by a splendid rain lasting ifntil about half-past ' ten 6’clock. Everything looks lively since the rain, but it was a bad day for the May picnic. more Anon. On Sunday last the Rev.
