COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE. Belton Items. The Allianoe Congressional Convention was held here last Friday, 28th ult. Noth ing definite is known of Its proceedings, as the session was entirely secret. Three Counties were represented by delegates sent by their respective County Alliances, two by delegates ohosen by the Conven tioh after organizing here, we were inform? ed. If politics is to be admitted into the Alliance^we trust that-no hasty or unwise steps will place the organization on a foun? dation' that will necessitate much future propping. Heavy business on the C. & G. road keeps the trains "quite irregular, with now and then a Berious accident. Last Saturday W. W. Keys,- of the Cotton Plant, Greenville, and J. W. Norwood, President, of. Savings Bank, Greenville, played "tramp" from Belton to Anderson. The train was delayed that afterr.oon until eleven o'cloek.. Nothing like pluck. The Cotton Plant is sure to grow, and the Bank will care for the hard savings. . "La Gripps" has been doing extra work .here for th e past two weeks. Borne serious cases, of which is Mr;F.

Messks Editors: I notice in last week's Intelligences a communication from Williamston nominating Rev. Mr. Hiott far the Senate. I think I speak the sentiment of the majority of the voters of Andersen County when I say that the pulpit is the place that the minister of the Gospel should ocoupy. ? Nothing, in our opinion,; so impairs the usefulness of a preacher as dabbling in politics. The min? ister's sole study ought to be the Bible, and in proportion to his ability in ex? pounding the word so will his congrega? tion be edified. The old maxim, "too many ir dus in the fire at once," will ap? ply in his case the Bame as others. I have no doubt but Mr. Hiott would make a faithful and efficient officer, but I think he could better fill his calling by close application and keeping aloof from poli? tics.-' I am in favor of the re-election of Hon. E. B. Murray, unless the people see proper to place him in a higher office, which. I think will be done. If so, we have scores of good men, deep thinkers, practical, loyal and every other requisite that goes to make a desirable officer. Suppose we let the preachers alone, we have few enough of them now.

The farmers of this section are pushing their business to the front, and it seems that they intend to put forth every effort and endeavor, to increase the yield even above that Of last year. They are buying more mules, more guano and arranging for a more skillful and thorough system of cultivation. The Crayton Postoffice will move again soon, Mr. P. B. Griffin having been ap? pointed Postmaster. Those who have waited so long for cold ' weather, to kill hogs, were glad to see the few cold mornings of last week. The hand that pushes this pen was required to turn a crank until it was almost blistered. The crank was attached to a greedy mill that ate Bixty or seventy pounds of meat at one mess. It was hard work, 'but en? couraging to think of seeing the ?'stuff" again. But it is hard to meet all pleasant things, and still harder to miss all un? pleasant things. The lady of onr house thinks a great deal of her neighbors, and she don't mind cutting down a big, long poke of sausage and Bonding it to a neigh? bor. But every time we see her do it we feel sad, and our mind runs back to the night when these hands were blistered and sore. One of our neighbors lost every chicken in two nights. One morning he was sur? prised to notice that about half of his chickens were missing, and the next morning he was horrified to see none at all. He lost about two in all. Peach trees are blooming in this section. of Mohawk. Mr. Richard McCoy has the Crayton ville farm in charge this year. Heseema very much enthused on the cotton ques? tion. Mr. McCoy has good knowledge of farming," and will doubtless have Borne fine cotton raised on the place. A gentleman from Belton passed through this section last Monday. He says we wiU have three snows before win? ter is ended. We did not know that Bel? ton had a prophet till recently. Stiange that "Kappa" don't keep us posted con? cerning ttie weather. It was the pleasure of your correspon? dent to spend a night with the genial family of Mrs. Tribble, near Townville. After a hearty supper we were treated with some splendid music by Misses Mary and Lula Tribble. The Townville Baptist Church would greatly mis3 Miss Mary if she should decline to lend her services as organist there. The Farmers' Alliance continues to in? crease in number and strength. The "Al? liance'' may properly be termed "the Far? mers' bnll-dog." Aa the brave and noble bull-dog is always ready to battle for and defend his master, so is the Alliance proving its strength, bravery and effi? ciency in defending and supporting its inventors. Really the dog is only a *'pnp" ye!;, but the food that is sure to de? velop him is being rapidly prepared. One great reason why he is no larger is because he suffered a great while for want of food, and besides he has been fed on some poisoned food?such was of course given by enemies. Our dog is one that gives warning always before making the attack. Although young and untrained, ho has never been defeated in a single combat, bat be takes sure and steady hold upon his advancing enemy, and at the bidding of his master he grip3 firmly and relentlessly until the exhausted ene? my is placed under the anxious fore foot of the dog. We constantly hear the ques? tion asked, "is the Alliance doing any good ?" especially by those opposed to it. We would refer those interrogators to the merchants and middlemen generally. Only note their actions and remarks on the subject. If they would, they could tell yon more about the Alliance than a great many members can. If they thought it would benefit us none, they would all speak in favor of it. The result of the whole business is that those who have been hollering have been bitten by our noble dog. When you hear a man holler you may know that the dog has him, or is getting near enough to appear dangerous. Our great object is, and should be, to keep our dog under perfect control. So far he has been muzzled a considerable portion of his life. This is ?done in order to give bim proper training concerning his friends and his enemies. Just now his attention seems to be directed toward the State House. As he paces slowly around the corridors, those i inside tremble at the growliug of the dog becomes more and more distinct. Finally he means to ascend those steps, force his way to the interior and glance around upon the inmates as if to ask, "Do you mean to provide and support suoh laws and regulations as the farmers of this State demand and struggle for?" How? ever dangerous he may appear, still he has a muzzle on, but in due time the muz? zle will be removed, aud then the battle .will begin. Farmers, let us make haste to train and feed our dog more food. Let us prove a good master to him and he will surely gain the victory for ns. \ '* Crate. A Million Dollar Shr? Factory. Columbia , February 26.?Mr. George M. Poor, of Stoneham, Mass., one of the owners of a shoe factory in that Slate, visited the Department of Agriculture to-day aud said that he was seeking a location for his factory, which the opsra ting company had determined to remove to the South. The factory employs frr~\ five hundred to,six hundred hand' . has an annual product of nearly a millkj ' dollars. Ho finds, upon investigating the condition of Southern Bhoe factories in Bichmond and elsewhere, that they are underselling the Northern factories in the Northern markets, are exempt from the strikes which embarrass tbe Northern manufacturers and are making money. These considerations, particularly that in regard to labor,' influence the removal of the factory to the South. Mr. Poor has visited several States and has received inducements from several municipalities to locate his establishment within their limits, but if he finds a place to Buit him he will not require a bonus. He would like to place his factory in a town, but not in a city, and does not de? sire to be adjacent to other manufacturing establishments, probably, because be wishes to escape labor agitation. The factory will employ about twenty skilled hands from the North and use negro la? bor for the rest of the~ work. The depart? ment has promised to give him all the in? formation available, and he will probably visit water power points in the upper part of the State, Mr. George E. Watson, of Bannack City, Montana, whose request to the de? partment of agriculture for a specimen of okra.fibre was responded to by the Bend? ing of a sample prepared.by Mr. Hill, of Edgefield, writes again : i "The tendency to be cold-blooded and suspicious seems to be a product of our severe climate, and I feel constrained to apologize for troubling you a second time' after your courtesy in sending me a earns pie of okra fibre but a short time ago; But the truth is, some of my r nigh bor 3 seem inclined to believe that some clerk in your department has sent me a piece of hemp as a joke. I confess I think the sample rather too fine in texture for hemp, but I have concluded to ask you to send me a full stalk of okra just as it - comes from the ground. The department will endeavor to com? ply. The compliment to the okra fibre is quit? high.?News and Courier. UaTvcs Hanged at Last. Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 28.?At three minutes before one o'clock this afternoon Bichard B. Hawes was hanged in the jail yard in this city. The hang? ing was attended with no extraordinary circumstances, and aside from the fear? ful atrocity of the crime the hanging would have been in all respects common? place. The doomed man spent last night rather easily and this morning at seven o'clock told Sheriff Smith that he was ready to eat breakfast. It was brought but he was unable to eat. A little later Doctors Phersey and Slaughtor, the spir? itual advisers of Hawes, arrived at the jail and from that time until the sheriff called for him to go to the gallows they talked and prayed with him. It was raining slightly when a few minutes before one it was whispered in the jail yard that Hawes was coming. In another moment he made his appear? ance leaning upon the arms of Sheriff Smith aud Deputy Sheriff Love. He ascended the gallows .with a firm step, aud when he reached the floor he sur? veyed the crowd in the yard carefully. It consisted of about one hundred peopie, nearly all of whom were newspaper men aud officers. Hawes then called for two newspaper men, one of them M. S. Cann, city editor of the Age-Herald, and said he wanted to forgive bim for anything he had written and die at peace with tbe world. He then turned to tbe crowd and said: "I want to say to the congregation that I have made a written statement of this whole thing from first to last, and it is true. I want the people to believe, and I certainly hope that no one will think that I come to the gallows with a lie on my lips." He told the Sheriff he was ready and the noose was adjusted. When first drawn around his neck it was too tight and his face began to grow red. It was loosened and he said in a firm voice : "I can stand this now for a few moments." He again turned to the crowd and said: "This has been brought about by whiskey and vile women. Take my advice and let both alone." A short prayer was pronounced by Dr. Slaughter and the black cap was placed on tbe prisoner's head. The sheriff descended from the gallows and adjusting the rope which was to. pull the lever and spring the trap, he coun? ted, "one; two; three." The man who pulled the rope was hidden from the crowd and unknown to every one. There was a slight pause after "three" fell from the sheriff's lips and then tbe trap fell. The body shot downward six feet and rebounded in the air. There were a few slight convulsions of the muscles and the arms contracted a little. The swaying ceased and at the expiration of seven minutes Hawes was pronounced dead. The confession which Hawes wrote is now in the hands of his brother and a gentleman of this city, and they will dispose of it for the benefit of Hawes little son. Hawes yesterday told one of his spirit? ual advisers that while he never com? mitted the murder himself he was as guilty as the person, who did the killing, for he had paid for the work. ? Tbe cheapest place in Missouri to live is at tbe penitentiary. The daily cost of maintaining convicts at that institution is only 7* cent per capita. ? Look out for a new kind of coffee that is not coffee. Some clever French? men at the Island of Reunion have dis? covered that the fruit of the wild orange that grows there has the aroma of the coffee berry\ As it costs less to raise the wild orange than regular coffee, natural? ly the planters are substituting the for? mer for the latter, and the government even has ordered that a great part of the highlands on the islands be reserved for the cultivation of the new bogus coffee. One bright gleam on the coffee horizon is in the fact that the new berry will be so cheap that it will, if its culture suc? ceeds, drive out chicory, and as an adul? terant it i? said to be much les3 vile than that d'aple coffee cheapener.?New York Sun. CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. London, March 1.?A dispatch states that'the British steamer, Quetta, which sailed from CoolatowD, Queensland, Feb? ruary 27th, for London, has been lost at sea. The report of loss of the Quetta is confirmed at Lloyds. Advises received state that two hundred lives were lost. The steamer struck a rock not shown on the chart at 9 o'clock last night near Somerset, in Torres straits, at the north? ern extremity of Australia, and sank in three minutes. Kansas City, March L?A special to the Times from Lamar, Mo., says: During an entertainment, which was held at Short's school, twelve miles west of hero last night, four men became engaged in a quarrel. Mrs. Henry Short, who was present, witnessed it, and during its pro? gress she fainted and died. She was sub ject to'heart disease. Six men received painful wounds in the row, which, it is said, was begun by three Swett brothers, who had been drinking whiskey. I Charleston, S. ft, February 29.?A ( special received here from Varnville, Hampton County, to-night, states that Bob. Pope and his 11-year-old son were killed in that County on Monday night by parties in ambush. The two were on their way home from Cummin's mill when they were killed. When the bod? ies were discovered it was found that Bob Pope's throat had been cut from ear to ear after he had been shot. The spe? cial does not say whether the Popes were while or black, but says that they were obnoxious citizens, and it is supposed that their Blayers were white men. These are all the details available now. Birmingham, Ala., March 1.?A special from Talladega, Ala., gives an ac? count of a storm which passed over there yesterday. It made a path about one hundred yards wide and destruction marks its entire course- Fortunately, it did not pass through a thickly populated part of the town, but the scene along its path beggars description. Houses were blown down and boards, and even beams and i afterB were carried for a considerable distance. Trees were snapped like pipe stems, or torn from the ground by the roots; cows, horses and other animals were killed, but none of the people living in the houses blown down were seriously I injured. Jacksonville, Fla., February 26.? To-night an unknown negro bought some bananas in a fruit atore on Hay street. He ate one and threw the peel on the floor. The proprietor told him to pick it up, but he refused and the former then called Policemen 0. J. Payne, at whose command the negro removed the peel, and the officer went out. The negro followed and called to him. The officer turned as the negro approached and the latter asked the number of the policeman's badge. The officer threw.his coat open and ex? posed it, when the negro fired three shots, the first one striking the badge and the other two making wounds in the officer's head and chest, killing him instantly. The murderer escaped. Washington, D. C, February 26.? To-day ex-CongreBsman Taulbee was shot through the head by Charles Kincaid, correspondent of the Louisville Times. Both men are Kemuckians and the trou? ble was caused by the ex-Congressman pulling the correspondent's nose for pub? lishing certain statements in regard to him. The Bhooting occurred just outside of the Capitol near the southeastern en trance to the building. Taulbee was shot in tbe head, and his wound is serious. He was taken to his boarding house. Kincaid was arrested, and is lodged in tbe New Jersey Avenue police station where be is charged with assault with intent to kill. Kincaid is a Blight built, inoffensive looking man of about 35 years of age. He was formerly judge in one of tbe Louisville courts and his family is one of the beat known in Kentucky. Taulbee is about 89 years of age and is tall, sinewy and strong. He represented one of the mountain districts of Kentucky in the forty-ninth and fiftieth congresses. Walnut Grove, Ga., March l.-There was a disastrous cyclone, near here last night, which is peculiar in its having been confined to a very small area, C. C. Hannah being the only loser. It came in the shape of a boom, the report of which was beard at a considerable dis? tance, One man saw it and describes it thuB: "I happened to be up and heard a roaring over at Hannah's. I looked in that direction add I saw the tops of houses floating in the air like so much paper. Every house, except his dwelling, which was twisted considerably, was unroofed and carried to a considerable distance. Not a horse was hurt in the least, though tbe stables were lifted from the sleepers. The strangest thing about it is that thera were other people's houses all around and not a single one molested. * The cyclone or whatever you might call it, did its work in a few seconds. I don'c Buppose the entire width of it was over two hun? dred yards. The good people around that settlement will help him to repair his losses." Fight of the Lard Manufacturers against Cotton OH. Washington, March 2.?The largest lobby that has infested the capital in years, with the exception of the world's fair crowd, iB hero now working for tho passage of the compound lard bill. They represent the western lard manufacturers and farmers, including high officers in tbe National Alliance, who are stating to the committee that the Alliances of the country favor the bill. On the other band the Southern Rep? resentatives are fighting the bill with all thoir power. They are, however, hope? lessly in the minority. Mr. Morgan, of Mississippi, yesterday told tbe commit? tee that the passage of the bill would cause a loss of $1 per bale to the south? ern farmef on bis cotton. It would also, be said, result in a loss of $12 per year to every laborer in the cotton States. Now that cottou seed are becoming of value to the farmer the passage of this bill, ho thinks, will reduce their price to almost nothing, for the bill puts such a high tax upon cotton seed lard and mixtures that it can no longer be mauufactured with tbe seed selling at anything like the pres? ent price. However, the bill has been given such an impetus, by the western congressmen and the hog-lard lobby that it looks now as if it will be reported from the com? mittee and go through with a rush, not? withstanding the forces of the South rushing solidly against it. The Southern members are telegraphing to the heads of the Farmers' Alliance all 07er the South to send protests or delegations on here at once if they are desirous of defeating the bill. Looked for the Devil aud Found a Coon. Texarkana, Ark., February 24.? A colored family living in Swampoodle have been troubled for several nightB by a noise in and around their house aud in tho lot. The family had about conclud? ed that the devil had taken up his abode in tho housetop. They told the neigh? bors that the house was haunted, and that they could hear the devil crawl up th* planks on the outside and slip in. They also described tbe noise he made in tbe loft. Yesterday tbe' family gathered several of their immediate neighbors and made a search for his Satanic Majesty. They tore off several planks from the gable end of the house where the ghost, goblin or devil had been heard to enter, and im? agine their surprise at finding a big fat coon asleep in tbe feathers of half a score of chickens and ducks which he had cap? tured in that vicinity.?Si. Louis Repub? lic. ? A woman in St. Louis, who identi? fied a body in the morgue there as that of her husband, from whom lihe had been separated for years, buried tho re? mains. The funeral was an expensive one, and the widow was greatly commend? ed for what she bad done. It now turns out, however, that she made a mistake. Her husband has turned up alive and well, and having learned that his ex wife had buried him in style, he called on her to express bis thanks. Nobody knows who tho dead man is. He was picked up dead in the street, and papers found, in his clothes lead to the supposition that his name is J. J. O'Connor. A Dead Man Pwaclias His Own Fanor New York, Feb. 24.?One of the strangest fuueral services on record oc? curred at Larchmont yesterday. The dead man preached hts own funeral ser? mon over his own remains, and the dead wife of the corpse sang bymns over the coffin. This was done at the funeral of Rev. Thomas Allan Home, who died on Friday, aged 77 years. Eight months ago the remains of his venerable wife were carried to the grave. Mr. Home had left explicit instructions as to bis burial and the services to be held over the remains, and yesterday his dining room and parlor were filled with mourners who bad come to pay respects to his memory. Shortly after 1 o'clock tho ceremony commenced, and from the table was heard the sound of an angelic voice singing that beautiful hymn : A few more years shall roll, A few more seasons come, And we shall be with those we love, In tho land beyond the sun. ' For some time a feeling of superstitious awe pervaded the apartment, as many distinctly recognized the voice of Mrs. Home, but when they perceived that it came through a phonograph they grew more composed. As noon as the hymn was over, Charles Home, a nephew of the deceased, made some alterations in the machine, and inserted a roll that con? tained the funeral sermon of his uncle, uttered by himself. Seldom had a moro impressive one been listened to. It sounded so weird that two ladies fainted and had to be carried out, On this occa? sion the virtues of the dead man were left alone, and instead there was a long list of faults- enumerated, for which the mourners were asked to pray for God's pardon. There was a Btop and the nephew put in auother roll. The voice took up the address where it had left off. It enu? merated the virtues of the deceased wife. At this point of the address the voice of the deceased had evidently broken down, and from the instrument the terrible sounds of a strong man weeping and una? ble to restrain himself broke out with terrible realistic force. The next few sentences were uttered in a broken voice, and prayed God that if it pleased him to remove the speaker by a sudden death, or to take him away in some unusual man? ner, he would consider prayers after death as efficaeous as those before. The nephew arranged two instruments on the table, and at once the soprano of the wife and the baritone of the husband joined to? gether in singing.

How ft Bank Robber Was Detected nud Killed. Meridan, Kansas, March 2.?"I'm a slick un." Telegraph Operator Taylor heard these words addressed to him by a stranger last night while he was receiving messages at the railway station. He paid no attention to the remark until he had completed a message from Valley Falls, which read as follows: "To Sheriff, Meridan, Kas: Hicks & Gepbart's bank- robbed this evening of $3,000. Robber unknown, Description as follows: Blond?, light hair and mus? tache, bine eyes, 5 feet, 11 inches tall, medium weight. "Sheriff." The operator looked up and nearly lost his breath when he saw standing before him tbe man described in the dispatch. He did not reveal tbe fact of recognition but merely agreed with the stranger tha he was a "slick un." The stranger inquired the time of the next train for Atchison and asked where he could put up for the night. Tbe ope? rator directed him to a hotel, where the man took a room without registering, re? questing to be called at five o'clock in the morning, in time for the Atchison train. Local police Officers Smith and Sum merfield, who bad also received instruc? tions from Valley Falls to arrest any suspicious person, were iuformed by the operator of the presence of the stranger at the hotel. Arming themselves with Winchester rifles, they went to the hotel, waited under "Slick unV window until 12 o'clock, and then, going to the office, acquainted the proprietor with their in? tention of arresting his guest. The bell "boy was sent to the stranger's room with a message that it was time to get up to catch tbe Atchison train. When the stranger descended to the office he was confronted with the police officers, with Winchester rifles pointed squarely at his breast. He never quivered but looked inquiringly around. "Throw up your hands," Officer Smith said. The stranger seemed to realize his sit? uation then, but instead of obeying he thrust a hand in either side pocket of bis overcoat to draw the revolvers which on? ly a few hours before had intimidated Cashier Cohen, of the Valley Falls Bank. As the stranger made the motion to? wards his weapons both Winchesters were discharged instantly at his breast, and he fell dead with one bullet through his heart and another through his right lung. The coroner was notified and be? fore noon a verdict was rendered exoner? ating tbe officers of any criminality in having caused tbe death of the bank rob? ber, self-defence being their excuse. Up to this time no search of the dead outlaw's person had been made, but at Cashier Cohen's request search was made and the stolen money was recovered. In his boots were found two packages of greenbacks of $500 each, and the rest of the money had been distributed through his various pockets. The outlaw was positively identified from a registered receipt dated at Bur? lington, Kansas, as one Robertson. The money receipted for had been payable to one R. C. Smith, at Ottawa, Kansas. ? In Robertson's pocket was a watch with the initial "R." engraved upon it, and a foot rule bearing tbe same initial. ? Tbe French newspapers declare that the dance as a social joy is doomed, going our. of fashion at the command of the women who lead Parisian society. ? In a recent sale of old books and manuscripts in New York a letter written by Christopher Columbus sold for $2,000. It consisted of 116 lines and 84 wordB, and very easy words at that, which were Bpelled the most convenient way. Col? umbus was good at sailing but mighty poor at spelling, though in his day it was just as proper to spell cat with a "k" as in any other way. The whole amount paid for wages in cotton manufacture in 1880 was $45,614, 419. The total profits (not including improvements in plants) $50,525,427. This shows for whose profit a tariff works. Or state it another way: 200,000 operatives divided $45,000,000, while less than 1,000 employers divided $50,000, 000. There is no trouble to see the way that cat jumps. FOR CONGRESS.
