held in the city of St. Loo is, beginning
vi oajDecember 3rd. It will be the great
v^eat gathering of farmers ever held in the
v. United States,. and questions of impor
'\- tance to them will be discussed.
- The farmers of the northwest seem to
. ba as good as their word in taking their
^ affairs into their own hands. They are
'-: ? preparing to slaughter and pack their
/ j own live stock in aa immense establish?
ment in Lincoln, Neb. Tbe packing
^nonse will costsS^n $20^000 to $30,000,
and the plansior its construction are
already made out. There will be $40,000
subscribed to eet tbe work on its feet.

I Governor Gordon ?'ill speak on "The
; :- influence of the late civil war upon the
character of the American people and
^: the future of the American republic."
f/j- He will receive a royal welcome in Chi?

'?'.The naval comraission appointed to
>:]^select the site for the navy yard on tbe
^ySoutnern coast has tummitted its report
to the Secretary of the Navy, recommend?
ing the .establishment of a dry dock,
"s?; repair shops and supply depot at Port
"Royal. The commission recommends
the establishment of a dry dock, a depot
of naval supplies and a coaling station
.on Paris Island at theiite of the present
naval Btation. An estimate accompany
^ ing the report fixes the cost of a timber
ftvCdry dock, similar to those now building
for the'Government at $675,000, to be
completed in three years.
The Atlanta Contiv'viion says there are
V; . si gns that the color line is to be broken
by the. intelligent negroes, who^ realize
that; the. interests of the two races
;;.;';:.ai'e:identically the same. In Virginia, in
spite of the tremendous appeals made to
race prejudice, thousand of negroes voted
;for the Democratic candidate for Gover?
nor, rather than support an unscrupulous
^ and irresponsible man like Mahone.
. "^5onlCi^&is--feelir^ develop sknong the
negr?es.'we.8kan hear no more of the
kx&AoT line or the negro problem, for the
? - prejudice of the whites will be disarmed,
and-the two races will flourish side by

Ie^ac H. Vincent, ex-State Treasurer,
: of Alabama, who is nor/ serving a fifteen
year sentence in the coal mines for the
.embezzlement of $22/!00 of the State's
'/ money, wants a pardon. He does not
want an ordinary p."idon, and will not
allow his friends to intercede with the
Governor in his behr,U. He wants the
">cjeople of his State to pardon him. Vin
cent proposes to ask the Legislature to
"""submit the question of granting him a
pardon sumraitted to the people at the
next election, and let them vote on it.
If a majority vote for a pardon, he thinks
/ he should be free, while if a majority
r vote no pardon he will ferve out his sen?
tence. Vincent has been in the mines
- two years, and with the usual allowance
^~;fdr good conduct his sentence will expire
<-In ten years.
The Nix failure in Greenville is the
"-Z-:' "biggest thing of the sort that has occurred
"?"?ffxthV^tate in yeara. A meeting of the
5 v: creditors was held in Greenville last
;/ Saturday, and through his attorney, W.
' A. Williams, Mr. NLv offered them 25
>'.?'? per. cent as a compromise, provided a
-- majority accepted. After deliberating
? 'about six hours, a scrtall majority did
' . accept, and will receive their pay within
: five days, provided no '.mforeoeen cirenm
;f< stances prevent it. The liabilities, as far
i-i as can be ascertained, a;e about one hun?
dred and seventy-five thousand dollars,
and available assets ab?ut forty thousand
^dollars. L. W. Parker waB elected agent
of the. creditors, and they are to have
another meeting about the middle of
December. Tke action of this meeting
was not -final, and it is probable that
there will be a number of Iawstiits, and
Mr. Nix will be give? a great deal of,
'.trouble before a final settlement is-made.
The Piedmont Exposition at Atlanta,
. Ga., closed only a lew weeks since, and
yet-the.energetic managers have already
mapped out their plans for another show
in 1890, which, it is promised, "will be
'?*^~t\xe grandest expositic ever seen in the
South." It will open on tbe 15th of
: v. October and close November 1. A beau?
tiful and imposing art and music hall
?0:r will , be. erected on, the grounds. The
poultry and pet steck, cattle and horse
^shows-will be carried through the en tue
exposition. The racing purses will he
cut down, and the money thus eaved put
.into other amusements. Three days have
been Bet aside for a great chrysanthemum
^afiow.. Premiums for chrysanthemums
will be offered at once. One of tbe spe?
cially interesting features will be the
cotton palace. This will be a building
filled with exhibits pertaining to the
growing and manufacture of cotton, and
to cotton seed and the different uses to
which, ill is put. The last exhibition was
a great success, financially and other?
wise, and was the occasion of pleasure
'find profit to those who attended.
P "Nr- A* officer of experience, writing on
.'the behavior of horses in battle, says :
When it comes to battle a horse seems to
know everything that is going oo; bnt
he does his duty nob ly, and seem.3 to be
in hi3 element. He enters into the spirit
of the battle like a human being. He
jhows no fear of deai'h, ;ind it is singular
f that if-his mate is Bhot down he will torn
-to look, at him and seem pleas?d. A
-horse in my battery was once struck by a
niece of shell which split his skull, so
tint one Bide was loose, 'i'be driver turned
hi n loose, but ho walked up by the side
. ?.f the gnu and watched tbe firing, and
when a shot was fired would look away in
the direction of the enemy, as if to see the
effect of the shot When a shell would
. burst near by he would calmly turn and
look at it. When he sew his own team
-' ting back for ammunition he ran back
?'to" bis own place and galloped back to the
<Ui?on with tbe rest When the lieuten?
ant pushed him aside to put in another
Howe he looked at the ether one sorrow
" fully while he was beiog harnessed up,
-Vuf When he seemed to realize that there

Jadas is Resurrected,
Messrs. Editors : la my first article,
which I wrote in behalf of "Alliance
man," I promised you that I would not
ask space of you again, unless forced to
do so. In the little sling-slang reply of
"Farmer's Son" I feel that he has forced
me to ask a small space in the columns of
the welcome visitor, the Intelligencer.
Now, Mr. Editor, 1 am not going to
sling-slang, but am going to try to get at
the facts in the case, as the "Farmer's
Son" has denied some things which I
stated he said. Xow, let's see if he hasn't
said something else. In his epistle of Oc?
tober I7th to the- horny handed son of
toil, he says this: "It is impossible for a
farmer to make more than he ought on
his farm. He may so manage the labor
on his farm as to get more of it than he is
entitled, or get it for less than he should."
Now, Mr. Editor, what does he mean by
that. Does he mean to say that Anderson
County farmers are a set of swindlers, or
would take advantage of their laborers
and wrench from them their hard earn?
ings and not pay full value for it. Yes,
that is just what his article says if you
Bpply the full meaning to the words
which he used.
Mr. Editor, I am inclined to think that
when "Farmer's Son" was writing that
article he was living on imagination, and
that the pen which wrote it was in unison
with his imaginary faculties, and con?
veyed it to the paper upon which it was
wrote, for surely he would not intention?
ally brand his friends as a set of robbers,
for what else would you call a man if he
bad taken that which did not belong to
him, or that which he was not entitled to ?
I am one of those men who think that tbe
farmers of Anderson County are a set of
honorable, high-toned, honest set of men.
Now, Afr. Editor, just a little whi'e in
reply to "Farmer's" Son's last sling-slang.
I am powerful glad he was satisfied
with just the tip end of my tail. For I
feared, as his reply was delayed, that
when it did come ho would swallow me
whole, and had he have swallowed me,
he would have had some little in his
stomach that he needed in his head. He
seems to think that ham and cheese are
food to heget good and substantial
thought, and if that is so, please tell
him to take a mess or so, for I think he
neede something that is calculated to pro?
duce thought.
Mr. Editor I do not know what he is
trying to represent by the walnut, unless
it is his head, and I am sure if that is
what he wants it to represent, there is no
goody in the walnut. He is right when
he sfiid that I had no bell to "ring." I
blow a horn of morning sometimes
when I see danger ahead, and the sound
of that horn is what has put his teeth on
edge.
Now, Mr. Editor, his denial of what my
first contained is before tbe people, and
I have the verdict in my favor. I am
willing to admit that "Alliance" was able
to take care of himself, and, from what I
saw of the little controversy, he did so.
Now, Mr. Editor, he seems to think that
somebody is mad. I assure my friend,
"Farmer's Son," that the "Son of Toil"
has no bard feelings against him, and
hope that I merit his respect, his love and
bis friendship.
The "Farmer's Son" may wear his tail,
So the people now make game,
And as for me whose tail is bobbed,
But I'll get thar all the same."
Now, Mr. Editor, "Farmer's Son" has
asked to be excused. I will be by him as
the Irishman was who was kicked by a
Jack. After looking around his friends
asked Pat what he was going to do about
it- Pat said, "yes, and faith, consider?
ing the source it came he is excusable."
Son of Toil.
The Collon Mill will Pay.
Eufaula, Ala., Nov. 20,1889.
Mr. Editor: Below I send you tbe
first report of the Directors of tbe Eufau?
la Cofton Mills, which I have clipped from
the daily Times of this city. I would be
glad to see it in your columns. As An?
derson is now building a cotton mill, I
think this report would be encouraging
to those who have invested their money
in it. What our mill has done, the An?
der jon mill can do.
Very respectfully,
T. W. Davenport.
This was only one of the encouraging
features of last night's meeting of the
Board of Directors of the Eufaula Cotton
Mills. After mature deliberation it was
decided to declare only 5 per cent, divi?
dend. Some were in favor of a larger
dividend as tbe profits fully justified it.
But this is equal to 10 per cent, annual
dividend as the Mills had been running
only about six months up to the time the
profits applied to the dividend were real?
ized. This is certainly good news for all,
it is good for the factory, good for tbe
utockholders and good for Eufaula. The
factory is a success, aud that is a guaran
tee to other manufactories thatare locat?
ing here and that will wish to locate here
in the future.
The watchword is onward. The Direc?
tors last night also resolved to double the
capital stock of the Mill. Many of them
signified their willingness to take addi?
tional Block and the public will 'soon
have an opportunity of taking stock in an
institution whose success is assured. The
probability is that this investment will
pay 15 to 20 per cent, and the growth and
success of the factory is a promise of the
growth and prosperity of Eufaula. We
only have time and space to add that we
congratulate the President and Board of
Directors on tboir success in, to them, a
new and untried field, and express the
hope that books of subscription to the
new stock will soon be opened and that
all will aid this most worthy and prosper
ous institution.
The Lintless Cotton Seed is no Hoax
Spartanburg, November 18.?The
Greenville Daily News yesterday stated
that Col. J. T. Moore had put up a job
on Capt. E. P. McKissick, agent of the
News and Courier, concerning Mr.. Fer
guson's lintless cotton. This was a sur?
prise to those who knew Col. Moore, as
he is not a man who would impose on tbe
credulity of any one. Mr. H. T. Furgu
800, of Woodruff, called on your corres?
pondent to day. He makes the following
statement in regard to his lintless cotton
seed :
Several years ago he and Capt. Bowden
of this city, ordered three packages of fine
cotton Eesd at $1.50 a pound. In
watching the growth of this cotton he ob
servedfttwo varieties, a white stalk and a
red Btalk. The red stalk produced the
lintless cotton. He planted some of the
seed to themselves, thinking that be
would get an improved lint, but it pro
duced tbe same kind of seed. This year
he planted about one-sixth of an acre,
getting a good stand. He states that
there is no lint on this plant, but that the
stalks are well loaded with bolls. He has
gathered two to three bushels of the seed,
which weigh fifty pounds to the bushel.
He believes that the seed with proper
culture will yield 300 to 400 bushels to
the acre. He refers to Hampton J. Pear?
son, Frank Pearson, W. W. Simpson,
George Hanna and James Calmese, of
Woodruff, who have seen the cotton
growing. So it would appear that your
correspondent was not the victim of a
boax.?News and Courier,
? Hiram Lester, now an inmate of the
poor house at McDonougb, Ga., ia thought
to be the oldest man in tbe world. His
agelis 120 years. Col. Sloan, of McDon?
ougb, who is over eighty years of age,
says when be waB a boy Lester was an old
man. Lester's teeth are perfectly sound
and his eyesight and hearing are good.
His skin is wrinkled and as bard ss
parchmeut. He eats and sleeps well,
and says he has given up all idea of ever
dying. He remembers all about tbe
Revolutionary war and knew George
Washington.

South Carolina Ahead or Georgia,
Columbia, Nov. 24.?The following
clipping is from the Atlanta Constitution
of the 21st inst. It is published with
immense headlines, and has a good deal
of Georgia brag in it, but may be quoted
in full for the purpose of showing how
much jubilation baa been wasted by our
friends over the river:
"Macon, Ga., Nov. 20.?It is reserved
for the Constitution to tell the people of
Georgia that the Hon. W. L. Peek, of
Conyers, Rockdale County, Ga., has been
awarded the prize offered by the Georgia
Agricultural Society for the largest and
best yield of corn on one acre in the State.
Col. Peek raised 130? bushels. Desiring
to promote increased yields through tbe
country, the American Agriculturist, of
New York city, offers five hundred dollars
for the largest yield of corn on one acre
of land. This premium is open to any
State in the United States. If it should
be taken by a farmer in tlm State, the
State Agricultural Society will add two
hundred and fifty dollars to the premium
offered by the Agriculturist. If the pre?
mium is not taken i i Georgia, to still
further'encourage ?S.n ts on the part of
Georgia frrmera, the .society gives one
hundred dollars as an award for tbe lar
gest yield of corn per acre raiaed in this
State, provided the yield reaches as nuicih
as one hundred bushels. The $100 was
awarded to Col. Peek in accordance with
tbe announcement. Col. Peek 1b compet
ing for the $500 offered by tbe American
Agriculturist, and should he win it, tbe
Georgia Agricultural Society will give
him $150 in addition to the $100 already
awarded. As the South Carolina and
some Georgia papers are bragging about
the yield of corn by a farmer iu that
State, who made 100 bushels on one acre,
and 105 on another acre, Secretary Niabet
of the Agricultural Society, desires it to
be known wbat Col. Peek has done, and
that a Georgia farmer is ahead of tbe
S'>nth Carolina champion."
It is reserved for the News and Courier
to tell the people of South Carolina that
the Constitution is mistaken. The corn
record stands: South Carolina, 130 bush?
els, 50 pounds; Georgia, 130 bushels, 28
pounds. Mr. J. Snelling, of Barnwell
County, S. C, in competing for the
American Agriculturist prize, made 130
bushels and 50-56 of a bushel, or only 6
pounds less than 131 bushels of corn on
one acre. Mr. Snelling made last year 27
bales of cotton on nine acres, and was
awarded the first premium at tbe Augusta
(Ga.) Exposition for tbe "lest bale
upland cotton."
Hampton's Hot Haste.
Washington, Nov. 17.?President
Harrison is responsible for Senator
Hampton's indignation at Postmaster
General Wanaraaker. Wanamaker did
promise Hampton when Hampton was
here that he would not disturb Hampton's
relative, Postmaster Gibbs of Columbia,
until February. At about the same time
he said he would not disturb the Postmas?
ter at Anderson Court House, S. C, until
February, both terras expiring at about
the same time. He also promised the
South Carolina Republicans that Col.
Russell should be appointed postmaster
at Columbia, and that Mrs. Cockrane,
widow of Senator Cochrane of reconstruc?
tion days, should have the Anderson
postoffice.,'
Within a short time after these promi?
ses were made W. W. Russell, the uufil
ial son of Col. RuBsell, whom Wanamaker
was to have made postmaster at Colum?
bia, came to Washington, and going to
tbe President (who knew nothing of
Wanamaker's promises apparently,) per?
suaded him, on the ground that he, W.
W. Russell, would thus be helped in bis
efforts to build up a white Republican
party in South Carolina, to appoint W.
W, Russell himself postmaster at Ander?
son Court House, and his friend, Virgil
Clayton, postmaster fit Columbia, being
obliged to make removals to do it. When
this news got out the South Carolina Re?
publicans in town rushed down to see
Wanamaker. They did not care about
Hampton's relative, the postmaster at
Columbia, but they did not want Wana?
maker's other promises carried out.
?T did not know that W. W. Russell
and Clayton had been appointed," s iid
Wanamaker, "until you told me. I will
see the President about it."
When he had described bis awkward
situation to (he President, and appealed
to him to help him keep his promises,
the Presideut expressed regret, and caus?
ed a suspension of action. Wanamaker
thereupon hung the President's appoiut
ment8 up, and it is pretty safe to say that
they will never be taken off the hooks
The postmasters at Columbia and at An
son will probably remain until February,
when Col. Russell will succeed at Colum?
bia and Mrs. Cocbran at Auder^on.? Dis?
patch to Chattanooga Times.
Are We Going to Make If.
The coUon crop of the State, as return?
ed by the State Department of Acricul
ture for 1888, was 558,642 bales.
Tbe report for this year puts the crop
at 630,000. This would indicate some
72,000 bale3 in excess of last year. We
fear this estimate will not be realized.
A great deal of the late cotton still hangs
in the fields without opening. How
much of this fruit will come to cotton it
is impossible to say. We bear in many
directions'complaints about cotton not
opening. It may be that these bolls may
never come to cotton.
All things considered, we do not look
to see the cotton crop of this State for
the present year exceed that of the last
by more than 5 per cent., amounting to
27,432, which would make the crop of
the year some 586,000, instead of 630,000,
as previously estimated, And yet, if the
bolls that are now in the field come to
cotton, the estimate of the State Depart?
ment might prove rather lower than
above the fact. Our experience teaches
us, however, that many of these bolls are
chilled beyond all hope of redemption.
This has been a very peculiar year for
the cotton crop. There have been so
many interrupting incidents occurring
to a partially late, but exceedingly pro?
mising, crop at onetime, that it is not
singular that tbe correspondents should
be somewhat confused in their estimates.
Under these circumstancea the Federal
Bureau has declined to make any estimate
of the possible crop. We are glad our
State Department has given us its best
judgment with all the facts it could
gather. It will not be discreditable to
our department should its estimate not
be reached. At tbe time of the estimate
nobody could foresee the nipping frost
nor yet the strange fact that apparently
good fruit bangs on in the fields without
opening.? Columbia JRegislcr.

Henry A. Cook, of Luominster, Mass.,
wanted "to be elected to the Legislature,
so early last month he published a notice
to that effect iu the local paper, hired a
hall and on October 8th placed himself
in nomination before a convention of
enthusiastic fellow citizens. He asked
no one to ratify Lhe nomination, but he
ratified it himself. He told hi? constitu
ents why he was a good man for the
honor, and that, being sensible people,
be knew they would take his advice and
vote for him. Ho said that there were
now eight or ten candidates in the Re?
publican party to go before the conven
tion and that he intended to spike all
their guns by telling every mean thing
he had ever done, together with
some of his good deeds, and thus forestall
the possibility of heing slandered by his
enemies.
He began with his birth, and showed
that he had been a hostler, a peddler, u
chair maker, a comb maker, a carpenter,
a blacksmith, a manufacturer, a gambler,
a thief, a large real estate dealer, a law?
yer, a detective, and that his present
occupation waB seeking the office of rep?

that he was a total abstainer without
being a prohibitionist. The humor and
frankness, of the would be legislator made
him hosts of friends. He ran as an in?
dependent, and W.-.8 elected by a plurality
of 3-1 votes over the Republican nominee
in a strong Republic in district.

Petersburg, Va., Nov. 23.?Robert
Bland, who on Thursday last attempted
to commit a criminal assault on Miss
Annie Gee, aged IG years, daughter of
Hon. Charles Gee, United States Inspec?
tor of Lumber at Sitkfl, Alaska, but
whose family reside in Prince George
County, a short distance from Disputanta
Statibn, on the Norfolk and Western
Railroad, was taken from the jail of
Prince George County to day and lynch?
ed. A mob, consisting of forty mounted
men, well masked, went to the residence
of Henry King, the negro jailer; nnd
demanded the keys ot the jsil. He
stoutly refused to .surrender the key* or
to go to the jail to unlock the door. The
mob tben burst open the door of the
jailer's house and again demanded the
keys. On his refusal to give them up
they placed a rope around bis neck and
dragged him to the jail, several hundred
yards from his house. Despite the strug?
gle, King refused to tell where tbe keys
to the jail wfefe. Just before reaching
tbe jail the keys were heard rattling in
King's pocket. The mob then took the
keys from him and enrried him into the
jail and made him lead the way to the
cell in which Bland was confined. Bland
had nothing to say when tbe lyncbers
came to his cell, but was perfectly quiet.
He was tied hand and foot and carried
off about seventy five yardB from tbe jail,
where he was swung up by a rope tu a
branch of a tree. He begged piteously
r!rhis life, but tbe lynchers were deal
10 his appeals for mercy. His body was
riddled with bullets and left dangling
from the tree, where he was found at
daylight this morning. Bland was about
21 years 6f age and a worthless charac?
ter. He was arrested Thursday night by
a posse of men who went in pursuit of
him, and he had been sent on by Magis?
trate L. L. Auston for trial at the Decem?

? According to recent iuformation
cannibalism is very prevalent in some
places in West Africa near to the British
settlement, if not actually in the protec?

has become the kidnapping of individuals
who have gonp out alone that in tome
parts persons dare not venture beyond
their own town for fear of capture. Sev?

? Mr. Eiffell, the builder of tbe great
tower in Pari.*, has recently invented a
bridge which promises to "fill a long felt
want" of tbe railroad companies. It is
to be used temporarily in the plice of the
ordinary bridges when they have been
damaged. It is made of steel, carries a
track, and weighs, with a length of 150
feet, about eighty six tons. It can be put
in position from either end without the
aid of machinery or any preparation,
simply by human hands. At a recent
trial in Paris, M. da Freycinet and many
officers of high rank and officials of the
railways from several countries expressed
their hearty admiration of it.
? A very funny thing occurred at one
of our ciiy churches less than a year ngo.
A good brother?a very good brother?
came out of the church after the benedic?
tion and, starting home, thought a lady
immediately in front of him was bis wife.
Tbey had evidently been talking love be?
fore he left. Believing from the lady's
dress, bonnet and tbe color of her hair
that it was his wife, and no one being
very near, be began bis sentimental talk
in this way: "Yes, here you are at
church. I thought you couldn't come. I
knew there was nothing the matter with
you. You're always complaining when
there is nothing the matter with you."
The lady addressed stiffened herself up
and walked on. Her apparent contempt
nettled the man and he said with decided
emphasis: "Oh yes, you can't speak. Too
sick to talk. Why don't you speak ?"
About this time the lady addressed turn?
ed with a great deal of dignity, and when
the man saw bis mistake he was speech?
less. He could not apologize, for that
would have convicted "aim. It was very
funny.?Sparlanburg Spartan _
