The Augusta Chronicle says it is re? ported that thej plan is to [elect Capt. Benjamin P.. Till mac governor, the Hon. 'George D. Tillman United States senator in Wade Hampton's place, and the Hon. W. J, Talbert to' Congress from the Second district in the Hon. George D. Till man's place. (? The indications are that much less jute bagging will be used this year than was used last. Some of the Alliances '.will use cotton bagging and others are making arrangements to use a cheap combination bagging, not in the jute trust. Meantime new jute has come down to a reasonable price. Capt. W. H. Greene has been appoint? ed general manager of the entire Rich? mond and Danville.railroad system, to succeed Col. Peyton Randolph, who has resigned on account of ill-health. In. speaking of Capt. Greene, the Atlanta correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle, says: "General Manager Green is, per? haps, without an equal in the South as a thorough-going,good-all-around railroad? er. He is a rigid disciplinarian, but belov? ed by his employes; full of dash and en? ergy, but practical and business like in everything. He is now only about 45 years old. He Berved his time in the machine shops of the Greenville and Co lutnbia, which is now a part of the Richmond and Danville. Then he ran an engine, was promoted to conductor, then master of trains, all on the Green yUleaud Columbia. Then he was made superintendent of the Richmond and Danville division of the Richmond and Danville system, then general superin ten? dent of the Richmond and Danville sys? tem. About a year ago he was made as? sistant general manager of the Richmond and Danville and now he takes Colonel Randolph's place as general manager." This is another illustration of what en? ergy, perservance and stability will ac? complish, and.should encourage every poor boy or young man in this country. Capt. Greene started life a poor boy, but By being steady, upright and courteous, "^with a determination to do his duty, he has gradually worked himself up, and to? day controls one of the biggest corpora? tions in America. Take him as an ex? ample, boys, and do your duty faithfully in anything you undertake that is honor? able. ? ? V : _? Tht farmers' movement has incorpora? ted a new element into politics this fall which is clouded with a good deal of un What will be the effect of these organizations at the polls is a troublesome question to both parties. In North Carolina the democrats express the fear Of losing the State. In Alabama' [four State, tickets are in the field. South Carolina has a terribly bitter fight on hand, in which the farmers take a hand. In. Arkansas the farmers and republicans have indorsed the union-labor ticket. In all. these States the democrats will suffer. In Minnesota and South Dakota the farmers are organized against the republicans. In Illinois no farmers' ticket has been nominated, but the or? ganization will scratch the party ticket?. In the southern part of the State the democrats will lose, while in the north? ern part the republicans will suffer. Nebraska will have five tickets in the field if all the conventions called nomi? nate. . In Iowa the republicans -have nominated a ticket, conventions have been called by the Labor union, Far r'mer&' Alliance,' and prohibition partief, and the democrats will nominate, making five tickets. Kansas will have four tickets. It is a little singular that almost without exception, all these parties ?S make common cause against the repub? licans on the ground of opposition to ^thejhigh tariff. Some are more pro nounced and extreme than others, but all Z-oppose .the McKinley bill and many indorse the position taken by Mr. Blair;o }ya[favor of not surrendering our own .markets without an adequate return for such an opening of our ports. The tau [ gies in-politics in this country were never so many nor so perplexing as they \ are this fall and surprises may be expect? ed in both parties. The most significant thing shown by these complications is s that they indicate a laxity of party ties ' that has never been so apparent in this country before. Both the leading parties raro plagued with these evidences of disloyalty in about the same proportion, but there is so little harmony among those who have gone off that it is doubt j j ful if a new party can be organized from . them._ Harrison Favors Force. Washington, D. C, July 31.?If Hoar and Spooner fail to carry out Reed's purpose and put the force bill through the [ Senate so that it may get to the President before this session ends Reed will not bo more disappointed than will ^Harrison. -Harrison, like Reed, regards 'the force bill fU'.being. equally as impbr-. "taut from a party point of viewafe . the ftariff.bill and the silver bill. Frtim ^the days during the last campaign, when Harrison never omitted in all his little speeches to all visiting delegations some reference to the necessity for such a law, until the present, he has constantly pressed it on the Republican leaders. Hehas Bpoken to every Republican Sen? ator who has called upon him for weeks about the urgency of this bill. If he has not'said?as Hoar is reported by a broth? er Senator as having said at the last caucus?that rather than have the force bill fail he would see every factory in Massachusetts burned to ashes and her citizens living on codfish and potatoes at fifty cents a day, he has said this same thing in other words. Of course this advocacy of the measure has been weak? ened by the President's unpopularity. But one thing which he has done gives Hoar .hope. He has had prepared at ^the department of justice a complete project for carrying the force bill rapidly into effect," just as he had the treasury department prepared for the silver bill, and will be able to apply it to the elec tionsnext November, even if it is not passed until the first of October. This is being used, of course, as a counter argu? ment to the claim that the bill will be useless this year, even if it passed this -session. Harrison proposes to enforce it fallylf it is passed. : Hi3 project is com "pfeherlsive, and he will not hesitate, if ?necessary, to use the bayonet, which will -be1 kept in the bill in spite of the Senate. ^-Philadelphia Record. ?A carpenter at Augusta, Maine, who had a warehouse to build and a good [deal of [measuring to do with a ten-foot pole, euffed a'boy's ear, and the boy re? taliated by cutting half an inch off the [polev The-result was a shortage on raf? ters, beama and joists, and a loss of eight 'hundred dollars to the cuffer. Silver Brook Cemetery. Mr.. Editob : It is strange lliat a city which has a wide and well-sustained repu? tation of being rich in the successive steps of progress should be so very delinquent in beautifying and adorning a city for its dead. It is true that the city fathers of Anderson in 18S7 purchased 25 acres of beautiful, poetic and highly picturesque grounds for a Cemetery. They also em? ployed Rev. J. Lander, a proficient in park construction, to plan the grounds. Two burial sections and a magnificent drive? way was most, artistically designed on either Bide of the parallelogram, and here and there drives and walks intersected each other, so as to make one continuous drive or walk over and around the grounds. This beautiful and costly work, as I have before animadverted upon, is in a great measure effaced, and the entire grounds overrun with noxious plants, and, what is most ro be censured, indiscriminate bury? ing has been permitted. Who is accounta? ble ? It is frequently remarked that a Cem? etery has become an imperative necessity, and a Park a desideratum for a city that is taking in suburb after suburb. This lo? cality, with its gentle, undulating slopes, its handsome, oak-covered knolls, its sweet-scented pines, its pure springs of water, and with Silver Brook winding like a serpent longitudinally through its length, are qualities that eminently adapt it for a Cemetery or a Park. Why not, then, util? ize it in the interest of both enterprises, that are now recognized as being a necessi? ty, and it a well known fact that it is the most available site that can be procured. As I have before said, with the picturesque Silver Brook falls added, nature, unaided by art, rarely ever presents so many en? ticing attractions to seduce the town-born citizen from the weary streets for recreation and rest. I have before, where occasion offered, described more minutely the to fography and the art-work of these grounds, am again prompted to revert to the mat? ter through your valuable paper from ex? pressions so frequently made in reference to the importance of the immediate ultili zation of the site. The Council who pur? chased it in 1887 exhibited a highly credi? table talent for localization, and were cer? tainly controlled and animated by a lauda? ble desire to act in the matter for the gener? al welfare of the whole city. They have done What they could. We hope the in? coming Council will give the matter prompt consideration, and that no reflection can be cast upon them by coming generations in a matter of so much moment, who, in all probability, will be more involved than the present. We must not forget to mention that the Council of 1889-90 had the entire grounds protected, at considerable expense, with a neat enclosure. It has, however, been practically ignored as a burying repository for the dead. This should not be. If, however, a more popular suburb can fur? nish, according to their taste and judgment, a more desirable site, would it not be well for the clty^fathers to sell these grounds for residential purposes? A prominent citizen has suggested that a joint stock com? pany might make the above described site a paying investment by utilizing it in the interest of both enterprises?a Park and a 'Cemetery. * Five Fork's Items. Since I wrote you last we have had rain in abundance. Crops have revived con? siderably, and the ontlook is flattering compared to what it was two weeks ago. The corn, crop, however, is irreparably damaged by the drought?at least one third short. Cotton with favorable sea? sons from now on will be near a full crop. The health of the kingdom is good, with a few exceptions. Mr. Bail Smith fell from the top of his stables some days ago and got seriously hurt in his back. I understand, however, he is recovering slowly. Your humble servant was quite sick nearly all of last week, but am better now. Several parties aro making preparations for a trip to the mountains in search of pleasure?not moonshine, mind you. Mathias & Co. will go some time this week. The Five Forks Democratic Club met on yesterday at 4 p. m. We had a good turn out, and a social, enjoyable time. The sub-treasury bill was freely discussed, and a large majority were in favor of the bill. M. J3. Richardson, W. G. Smith, J. T.Jonesand O.W. Casey were elected delegates to the*County Convention. The next thing talked about was the estab? lishing of a farmers' paper to be published at Anderson in the near future. Every one present seemed to be warmly in favor of the enterprise, and delighted to think we are soon to have a paper that cannot be muzzled or bribed by political rings or professional combinations. Well/l see you continue (o give your readers, who are mostly Tillmanites, occa? sional daubs from the Charleston smut bag {Nervs and Courier.) How is it that we never see a clip from, the Charleston World, Greenville Enterprise, or Abbeville Medium f I pause for a reply. It seems to me you ought to say "turkey" to the Tillmanites occasionally. I fear you are getting a little "lop-sided, but it may be lam wrong. Maybe you are only very, very conservative. I see the council of Lords who met in Columbia on the 10th July are all in love with the great Agricultural Hive, but then they are striving to kill the king bee. The News and Ceurier strikes Mr. Tillman over the shoulders of Walker Russell, but it does not inflict a very dangerous wound. Let Walker be what he may, his princi? ples and practices contrasted with those of the News and Courier, are as white as vir? gin snow. I wish to Bay to my brother correspondent of the Andersonville Items that I thank him.for bis compliments, and appreciate his good opinion of me. I am also proud to say to him that I am and have been for some time out on the Tillman and far? mers' platform. But not out for the Leg? islature?no not by any means. I kept so much bad company in early life, I do not wish to continue it in old ago. Shanks. A Cow Thief Captured. Williamsxon, S. C, August 4. Editobs Intelligencer : Last Saturday morning a strange negro man brought a milch cow in town and offered her for sale. It happened that he met with Mr. G. K. Willis, ageut of the R. & D. R. R, who appeared quite anxious to purchase, and, after a short conversation with the .pretended owner of the cow, Mr. Willis, through the medium of the electric wires, soon ascertained that the man had not sta? ted the truth to his satisfaction, whereupon he arrested him and locked him up, assur? ing him that he would be on hand when wanted. At this, of course, the fellow was much surprised, and said he would give up the cow provided he was once more allowed the privilege of gazing on nature's loveliness outside. But in a few hours it was developed that the cow was the property of Mr. Stephen Stone, who lives four miles below Anderson, and was on his way in pursuit of her. Before he reached here, however, the negro man made a full confession of the theft, declar? ing that he had never stoten anything larger than a chicken before. Mr. Stone arrived about 4 p. m., and recognized the man as Hiram Raiford, one of his former hirelings. He expressed himself as being pleased that the cow had not been convert? ed into hash, and, tying Raiford securely to the back of his buggy, he staited for Anderson jail. This is the second criminal captured at Williamston in the last few months for stealing live stock, the first being the boy who stole the mule of Mr. Harris, near Belton, and it will also bo re--, membered that Mr. Willis displayed an v uncommon detective mind in working up [ that case. So if thieves want lodging tbey are sure to find it here. Citizen. The congressional Primary. The following rules were adopted by the Congressional Convention which recently met at Belton, to govern the approaching > primary election for Congressmen in the Third Congressional District: Bule 1st. That a Primary Election for nomi? nating a Congressman for the Third Congressional District be held throughout the District on the 22rd day of August, 1890. Eule 2nd. When the vote shall have been can? vassed hi each County, it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the County Executive Committee to make a return of the Election in his County to the Congressional Executive Committee, which shall constitute a Board for the purpose of can? vassing the returns und declaring the result of the Election, and of hearing anu declaring all contests or protests which may arise, whose action shall be final; Provided, That no member of such Executive Committee shall be a candidate at such Election, and provided further, that said Execu? tive Committee shall canvass the returns und de? clare tho result of tho Election within ono week after the said election. Bulb 3rd. That the candidate who shall receive a majority of all the votes cast in the Congres? sional District, shall be declared to bo tho nomi? nee of tho Democratic Party for Congress for said District. Bule 4th. In caso no candidate shall have re? ceived the majority vote in the first Election, another Election shall be had on tho 29th day of August, thereafter, at which tho two candidates only who received tho highest number of votes shall bo voted for. The result of tho second Elec? tion shall bo ascertained cud declared in the man? ner as herein provided for the first. Bule 5th.

BuLEClh. Excoptas hereinbefore provided, tho rules and regulations governing the Primary Elec? tions in each County, as now in force, shall govern tho Congressional Primary in said County. It would be well for the managers of the election to preserve these rules, so as to have them in caso thov aro needed on the day of election. ;?'.> Democratic Club Meetings. Beltou Democratic Club, No. J, mot on Saturday, August 2nd, and after electing Mr: L. P. Harris to represent the Club in the County Executive Com? mittee, to take tho placo of Mr. A. C. Lattimcr, who had been elected to tho County Chairman? ship, tho name of A. R. Cox wo? presented by A. C. Lattimer in a warm littlo speech as being "a suitable person to represent our County in tho Houso. The nomination of Mr. Cox was indorsed by every member of tho Club piesont, and it is be? lieved that if wo can fill our legislative halls full of such men as ho, that all will be well with our grand old Stato. Mr. Cox may not bo generally known all over the County, but it iB enough to know tuat he is a high-toned, Christian gentle? man? a man of fair business qualifications, and a battle-scarred veteran of the late war. Mr. Cox also stands flat-footed on every plank in tho Till? man platform. Let us drop B. R. Tillman for a little time, in ordor that we may all shako bands and make old Anderson County rattle witli a "hurrah" for Ab. Cox. W. P. Sutherland, Sec. At a meeting of the Pemlleton Democratic Club held to-day, tho following resolutions were adopted: ? Resolved. That the delegates to County Con? vention to bo held at Anderson on the 4th prox? imo be Instructed to vote for delcgatos to the Stato Convention who aro in favor of nominating Stato officers by tho Convention plan. Resolycd, That this Club endorse, and recom? mend to the voters of Pendleton Township, tho candidacy of Col. D. K. Norrls for Congress. J. J. SiTTOJf, President. In Memorlam. Maugie E. Poulnot died in Anderson August 5th, 1889, aged 12 years, 7 months, 15 days. This bud of beauty, so full of promise, is nipped, and thoreby loving hearts are made to mourn. No more will we have her with us, the sweet child we loved so well. Dear to us in life, precious in death, her redeem? ed spirit is with her God. A dutiful, lov? ing daughter, a patient, unmurmuring sufferer is gone to her Sayior. "That once loved form now cold and dead, Each mournful thought employs; Wo weep, our earthly comfort fled, And withered all our joys. ?'Hope looks beyord the bounds of time, When what we now deplore, Shall rise in full immortal prlmo, And bloom to fade no more." ONE WHO LOVED HER. Tlie Weather and the Crops. Washington, August 2.?The week ending August 2 has been decidedly warm throughout the Northern States and Territories, the most marked excesses in temperature occurring in New Eng? land, and from Texas northward to Dakota, where the daily temperature raDged from 6? to 8? above the normal. It was cool on the Gulf and Pacific coasts, and slightly below normal gener? ally in the Southern States. An excess of rainfall occurred during the week along the Atlantic and East Gulf coasts, including the greater por? tions of the New England, Middle and South Atlantic States and portions of the East Gulf States. The precipitation was greatest in the Carolinas, where it ranged from 2 to 6 inches. Heavy rains also occurred in Eastern and Southern Georgia, Southern Alabama and Central Mississippi. The week was very dry in the Central Mississippi Valley, and from Texas northward to Dakota, where, in connection with a very high temperature and hot southerly winds, the growing crops have doubtless been injuriously affected.' The drought continues in Illi? nois and in portion of Missouri and In? diana, but at the close of the week gen? erous showers occurred in the upper Ohio Valley and the interior of the Mid? dle Atlantic States. The weather during the past week has been unfavorable for growing crops gen? erally throughout the entire corn belt, extending from Ohio and Michigan westward to Kansas and Nebraska, and the continued drought in connection with hot, dry winds west of Mississippi has permanently injured the corn crop, especially in Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri, and lowered the prospects of this crop in the States of the Central Valley. In Minnessota and the Dakotas the weather waB favorable for harvesting, which is well advanced, but hot, dry winds were unfavorable for wheat. The week cloBe3 with showers and cooler weather in this section, conditions which will prove favorable for the wheat crop in the northern portions. All the crops need rain in Kentucky, Tennessee and Arkansas, although the' cotton crop continues in good condition in these States. Reports from the South Atlantic and Gulf States indicate that the weather during the past week has been generally favorable for cotton in Eastern Louisi? ana and thence eastward over South Carolina, although in some sections of Alabama and North Carolina cotton is Bhedding badly, and some slight injury is reported from black rust. South Car? olina reports all crops benefited and cotton uninjured by the rain. In por? tions of Texas and Louisiana crop is suffering from tbe drought, and in the latter State tbe caue and rice crops con tinue in excellent condition. From Virginia northward, over Wes? tern New York the recent showers have improved the crop conditions, but corn, tobacco and potatoes are in need of more rain. In New Jersey all crops were im? proved by the rains and warm weather, except the grape crop, which has been permanently injured by black rot. The weather was very favorable for farm work in New York, where a large hay crop bas been secured. Tbe drought has been broken in New England and all crops, especially corn, tobacco and potatoes, were very much improved. Fraud in the Force Bill, Pittsburg, July 30.?General Master Workman Powderly has addressed a let? ter to the Knights of Labor, in which he arraigns the Federal election or force bill in a most vigorous- manner, saying there is more intimidation in four lines of tbe law than in all the Southern outra? ges that have occurred since the war. He says: "Shorn of verbiage, the bill is intended to perpetuate the existence of the party in power, intending to encourage fraud. Section 9 is in direct violation of the contract by which the several States are bound to the United States and is a most unwarrantable interference in the legislation of tbe sisterhood of States. It is claimed that this law will enable the colored citizens to vote free from intimidation and influence. That may be true of the outside of the polling places, but it simply transfers tbe intim? idation and influence to the inside of the polling booth. Why not act the part of men and say that the colored men are not fit to have a vote, for that is what they mean '? If there be a body of men in this land who do not know enough to do their own voting, if they lack the manhood to defend their ballots with their lives at the polls, then that dbody of men are not the kind to be privi? leged to vote for those who mnke laws for others. '?The Democratic party does its best .to intimidate the colored citizens of the South, and tbey give as a reaaon that if they did not do so they would be sub ject to negro rule down there, or, as they put it, 'ignorant rule.' The workmen of the North have never imposed ignorant rule where they elected their own repre? sentatives.' The letter goes on to say : "Our laws should not be framed iu such a way aa to recognize ignorance or illiteracy, for to recognize illiteracy is to perpetuate it. Every law should aim at the abolition of illiteracy, and instead of making laws to guard the uneducated men at tbe polls we should make laws to guard the Republic against illiteracy by obliging all voters to know how to read and write before voting." He calls on the Knights to voice their sentiments, and suggests that the name of every Congressman who voted for the biil shall be published to the world, and the citizens who are opposed to Buch high-handed methods should scratch them on next election day.?A'eio York World. She Fasted one Day Too Long, Windsor, Ont., August 2.?Mrs. Roderigo Valliniere, wife of a resident of Tecumseh is dead, after having fasted for forty-three days. She took sick in January last and medical men said it was a caBe of dyspep? sia. She kept growing worse, and for the last forty-three days had re? fused to take a particle of food. The only thing Bhe could retain on her stom? ach was water, of which she would drink a couple of gallons a day. AlyLIAN?E} COLJJMN, All communications intended tor this Column should be addressed to J. W. Bowdex, Denver, S. C. The County Alliance. A called meeting of tbe Anderson County Farmers' Alliauce was held in the Court House on last Friday, 1st iast. Col. J. W. Norris, the retiring President, installed the newly elected officers The death of Col. Walters, the Secretary of the County Alliance, was announced to the body, and resolutions of respect to memory were adopted. J. W. Bowucu was elected Secretary to fill the vacancy. The following are the preamblo and resolutions passed on the death of Col. Walters: Wherea?, It has pleased Almighty Cod, in his Allwise Providence, to remove from our midst our brother, Col. Wm. E. Walters, whose death occurred ou the 26th July, 1890. We realize our loss in the death of our brother, and feel that we can but show our appreciation and love for him by passing the following resolu? tions : 1st. Resolved, That this Alliance bow in sorrowful submission to the will of Almighty God, in removing Brother Walters by death. 2nd. That in bis death we have lost a valuable member; one who will be miss ed as a wise counsellor, and a faithful of? ficer ; and the county one of its beat cit? izens. 3rd. That the family of the deceased brother has our deepest sympathy. 4. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family of Col. Walters, and be sent to the County papera and Cotton Plant for publication. J. Belton Watson, H. H. Scudday, M. A. Thompson, Committee. -o The Sub-Treasury Scheme. Tbe more it ia discussed and analyzed, the stronger it becomes in popular esti? mation. The pivotal point between the Sub-treasury and the national banking system is, that the one is estab? lished, or proposed to be, in the interest of the producer, while the latter is purely in the interest of the speculator. The Sub-Treasury is the death dealing blow to all combines for the purpose of rob? bing the producer of his fair share of the profits of his honest toil. Under tbe Sub-Treasury plan, there can be no con? centration of money in Wall Street, or treasury at Washington, because the money will be distributed among the people wherever they have the products, demanding said money for handling and disposing of said products. What profit is it to the masses of the people to have millions upon millions in Wall Street or locked up in the treasury at Washington, when there is not money enough among the people, iu the busy marts of trade, to assure to the farmer a reasonable price for the products of his toil. The reply of Harry Tracy, of Texas, to the Hon. R. Q. Mills, of that State, in his letter of op? position to the farmer's scheme, is clear and convincing and is a complete vindi? cation of the sub-treasury scheme, and it would be well if all our members of Con? gress would take warning in time, from the last paragraph of Mr. Tracy's unan? swerable argument, wherein he notifies the honorable gentleman, that be and all such will be relegated to the rear at the ballot box, as uofit to represent a toiling con? stituency. So mote it be. A Farmer, -o The Matter of Sectionalism. The material interests of the West and South are identical in nearly every par? ticular. It is useless to dispute that whatever is good for the wheat grower of the West is beneficial to tbe cotton grower of the South. This principle is being rapidly learned, both in the West and South. No doubt this identity of iutereatB, together with natural inclina? tions, would have brought the people of the different sections together years ago but for the evil designs and base misrep? resentations of unscrupulous politicians. With the least possible excuse, real or fancied, the politicians of the two old political parties begin an onslaught upon each other. This apparent show of ear? nestness gradually revives old animosities among the people or begets new dissen? sions which in the end array the sections against each other. Thia is not done for the sake of any principle involved or for the material or moral benefit of the peo? ple, but simply and wholly for the pur? pose of perpetuating the reign of the politicians. This ia no fancy sketch, but a shameful reality, one that tbe people have been compelled to endure for the past quarter of a century. Recently, however, the influence of tbe National Farmers' Alliance and Indus? trial Union has been felt to a remarkable degree upon all classes of society, both West and South. It has been a protest against preseut political couditiona and methods from a source heretofore silent upon such questions, aud from this fact alone has challenged the attention of all candid observers. Just what effect the Federal bill recently passed the House will have, or to what extent it will reopen sectional hostilities, is difficult to deter? mine at this time. The source from which this bill emanated?New England?is positive proof that it is intended to pro? voke disturbances, breed riots, and pre? pare the way for further acts of repres? sion. If this scheme ia successful, sec? tionalism, with all that term implies, will again curse the people of the South and VVeat, and the East will, as uaual, fatten and thrive in consequence. It is to be hoped that the organized wealth produ cera of either section will resist all such efforts, and refuse to be made a tool by monopoly and greed to au extent of again falling into a pit prepared expressly for them by the wily politicians and money owners. The people of both aectious have similar interests to protect, and to do so must slaud together in opposition to the same false and unjust methods that spoliate both alike. Let nothing looaen thecorda of fraternal feeling that now for the first time in years bids fair to bind them together in one great brotherhood, whose motto ia, "Equal righta to ail and special privileges to none." L6t this fraternal feeting continue togiow, instead of being torn asunder, and the farmer of the North and West, together with tbe planter of the South, will in the ultimate realize fully the wisdom and justice in such action. Let not the designing pol? iticians who seek to increase and intensi? fy local or sectional prejudices and ani? mosities among the people succeed in their nefarious schemes, but rather let the planters and farmers of these sections re? sist these attempts at division, and to? gether march forward to industrial and political freedom. The priwer of money to oppreaa and monopoly to plunder ia felt alike by both sections, and relief, if it ever comes, must come to both through the same medium. Would it not be wise to recognize this fact at once, and prepare to act in accordance.?National Econo? mist Prosperity, July 29.?As a party of men were working the road near Singley's, three miles from here, two negro boys named Ruff began quarrelling. Jim, aged 14, called his brother a liar. Dave Page, aged 30, remarked: "You wouldn't call me a liar or I'd cut your head off with this shovel. I would kill a negro any time to see him drop." Jim and Dave*then began to quarrel, and one word brought on auother. Finally Jim told Dave that he had told a story, Without a word Dave struck Jim a blow on the top of his head, crushing the skull and felling him like an ox. Dr. Wyche, of Prosperity, was summoned, but medi? cal aid was of no avail, and the wounded boy died in four hours. No effort was made to detain the murderer, and he is still at large. ? The Charleston Sun thinks that Bob Ingersoll is the greatest of ingrates and liars. There ia much to be said against the famoua infidel, but he is not the worst man in tho world. He|jis in? finitely better than a sleek, decorous hyp? ocrite who runs with the church in pub tic, and with the devil in secret. Growth of the Church. The Independent has gathered some valuable and interestiug statistics showing the strength of the various Christian Churches in the United States and their growth during the past year. In some cases the figures are estimates, but our contemporary believes that on the whole the results "very closely approximate the truth." From these it appears that there are in the United States 151,261 Churches of all denominations 103,300 ministers and nearly 22,000,000 members. During the year there has been an increase of 8,500 Churches, nearly 4,900 ministers and nearly 1,000,000 members. The most numerous denomination is the Roman Catholic, with its 7,500 Churches, 8,300 priests, etc., and 8,277,000 population, of whom 4,076,000 are esti mated to be communicants. Then come the Methodists, with, in round numben, 4.9SO.O0O communicants ; Baptists, 4,292,000; Fresbyterians, 1,229, 000; Lutherans, 1,086,000; Congrega? tionalism, 493,000, and Episcopalians, 480,000. The increasn in the Catholic population during the year was 421,700. The esti? mated gain in Catholic communicants was over 238,000. The growth of Protestant membership was 068,000. The Methodist gained more than 256,000, the Baptists more than 313,000, the Lutherans 98,000, the Presbyterians nearly 49,000, the Congre gatiooalists more than 16,000, and the Episcopalians about 9,500. The accession of new members was even larger than these figures, since in every denomination there were deaths of members whose places were filled by new acquisitions. The number of deaths in the Methodist Episcopal body, for exam? ple, was reported at 28,300. This is a h ighly satisfactory and en? couraging showing to all who have the welfare of the church at heart. A gain of nearly eleven hundred thousand in membership in one year, with a corre? sponding increase in the number of churches and ministers, indicates that Christianity in marching on with no uncertain stride. As our contemporary well says, "It is in itself a most over? whelming refutation of the assertions we bear now and then from various quarters that Christianity is losing its hold upon our people, and that our churches are declining."?New York Sun. The Quick Flash of Death. Augusta, Ga., August 2.?Mr. L. H. Patillo, traveling correpondent of the Augusta Chronicle, shot and killed Mr. Charles P. Hulson on the streets to-night. The two gentlemen met about 11 o'clock in front of the Hawthorn saloon in Broad street, three doors above Jackson. There are no witnesses to the homicide. About six BhotB were fired. Mr. Patillo received one bullet from HutBon's pistol in the right thigh. Policeman Baston caught Hutson as he V7as falling, attempting to fire another shot, but he"was too weak to pull the trigcei'. As Hutson was gently laid on the ground he turned over and died. Patillo was carried to the Arlington Hotel, where his wound was dressed. He is not considered mortally wounded. The cause of the difficulty is not known, but is believed to be of a private nature. Bad blood must have existed between the two gentlemen, for they were both armed aud ready for trouble. There is no one who heard or knows of any colloquy between the two when they met. It-is supposed they commenced firing on sight. Patillo is from Warren County, and was formerly editor of the Warrentou Clipper. Mr. Hutson ie a young man about 24 years old and came here from Louisville, Ga., and was working in Daily & Armstrong's dry goods house. . The shooting created considerable ex? citement and the streets are now throng? ed with people. The coroner will hold an inquest in the morning. A Great Ha l Storm in Minnesota.

Announcing hia withdrawal from the Republican party, Mr. Leonidas J Moore, of North Carolina, sayB: "For twenty years past in every election, both National and State, I have cast my bal lots for the Republican party. I have contin? ued in the same old course. The time haB come, however, in my judgment, when no man who lives in the South can longer affiliate with the Republican parly without an utter indifference to the wel? fare and well-being of the whole people of the Southern States. The legislation of the present Congresa ha3 been such as to convince any man of sense that if the South does not to a man resist the en? croachment of the Republican party upon its rights and interests very soon we will be but provinces, so to speak, and thv general legislation of the Republic will not apply to us." ?
