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. Clinkscales and
wife.' The former has been quite ill.
Large quantities of fertilizers is being
hauled to the farms. Another big cotton
crop is the cry.
Kemember the meeting in the interest of

Kot In Favor,of Preachers Entering Poll
tics.
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.

Craytpnvllle Items.
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.

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.

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

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. Several of the audi?
ence tried to join in the hymn, but their
voices were choked with emotion, and
they were unable to proceed. The inter?
ment took place in Woodlawn cemetery.
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.
