The Demo? tic Governors of the country have in invited to be present on that day id make speeches in behalf of the De racy of Ohio. In bis invitation manNealsays: "By the nomina? tion the Hop. William McKinley, Jr., e Republicans have squarely endorsed tariff law of which he is the author, thus they have made the great issue the people that of tariff reform." ver nor Tillman could not accept , the tation because of official duties. He reused the opinion inhis reply that if Campbell wcs victorious in this t lor the Governorship he wonld be next President of the United States, e outlook for the Democracy of the e country is bright, and success is ering over the Democratic banners, pito the attempt now being made by w ambitious zealots to draw strength m the ranks of the Democratic party give life to a useless and dangerous party. _ The Editor of tho Abbeville Press and Banner thinks that tbe membership of ? the Alliance is overestimated, and ho ;: thinks he knows tho reason why its : membership does not increase rapidly ^ and indefinitely. He says that Dr. j Stokes claims that there aro 40,000 Alli ; ! ancemen in South Carolina, and 4,000,000 j membtvrs In the United States, while j President Polk says there are 3,000,000 3 in tho United States. The Press arid Ban ' ner then reasons thus: Abbeville County fnrnishes 600 members, and that County ia supposed to have as many as any other County in the State. Take the number of Counties?54?and multiply by 600 and the; total number of Alliancemen in the Its to would bo 20,400, or about one-half i what Dr. Stokes claims. Take this as averagTState membership, and grant that the organization exists in thirty lies, there would then be a grand total 612,000 Alliancemen in the United States, or only about one-sixth as many vmTQtt*. Stokes, and about one-fifth as jinauy as President Polk, claims for the border. The reason assigned why the organization doesn't grow immensely is 'that office-seekers and politicians have in \a large measure taken charge of it, and [hencethousands of members, who don't fpropose to furnish cats-paws for the po rHtically ambitious members, have quit [ the order in disgust. There are numbers of men who would become members of thV Alliance if it was a non-political 1-bcdy, or if they thought the Democratic party not put in jeopardy thereby, BUTLER AND WATSON. Senator Butler and Congressman-elect Watson, of the 10th District, Georgia, discussed'the sub-treasury bill at Bates buxg on Wednesday of last week, and incidentally the politics of the Hon. Tom ! Watson. ; Mr. Watson endorsed the sub-treasury plan, and reproached Senator Bu .lev for . discussing the bill, and not the plan at the recent Prosperity meeting. Senator Butler asked where he would find the plan if it was not embraced in the bill. He said he "would be under tho profound est obligations to him (Watson) if he would only tell me what that plan is. I have not heard it, and he spoke for an .txour and a half by the watch." [' AboqVthe same line of controversy, mid' con, that has been reported in ! columns already was followed, mi speaker developed anything new discussion of the bill, unless it was the novel statement by Mr. Watson that :JagoT6r?r>4 silver were articles of a vari? able value tbey should not be taken as a 'forcect measure^of the value of other bungs, but that labor should he made the unit of value. He did not develop this idea sufficiently to make it plain how much labor or whoso labor would be ta kon as a standard of measure. Senator Butler favored the abolition of national banks and tho establishment of State banks to prevent a scarcity of mon ! ey in circulation. It seems that the Cotton Plant, of which Dr. J. W. Stokes is editor, reported that Senator Butler mado a statement at Pros? perity from which it drew the inference that the Senator had accused forty thou? sand (tho membership of the Alliance, so claimed) South Carolinians of being "thieves and scoundrels." In referonco to this Senator Butler said, "I have stood by tho sido of too many of tho good peo? ple of this State when their souls and courage were tried, to say here or at Prosperity, or anywhere, that there were forty thousand farmers in South Carolina who were thieves and scoundrels, and I brand the author of it as a liar." Tom Watson, who has a fow admirers in this county, is possessed of a consid? erable fund of anecdotes which constitute a large portion of his speeches, which aro more conspicuous for their words and wit than wisdom. As he is commonly reported to bo in favor of the third party, Senator Butler took him to task on tho subject, asking him this question, "If the Ocala platform is submitted to the Na? tional Democratic Convention, and it is rejected, will you stand by tho National Convention?" Thi3 brought forth tho equivocal answer, "Sufficient for tho day is the eyil thereof." The National Democratic Convection is the higlest authority on Democracy in the country, and he who is not ready to ! swear allegiance to its platform is not a Democrat. Wats?n was elected to Con? gress as a Democrat, and if his utterance means anything it means he may or may not be a traitor to his party. There is no room in South Carolina for Tom Watson and his third party ideas. I A Business Trip Capped off "With a Little Pleasure. Editors Intelligencer : The rich and Soor meet together"?that i3 the way they o at Grant's Park in Atlanta on Sunday. I went out to this pleasant ground last Sunday and it is well worth the dime you have to pav to ride there and back on the "Dummy." The Park is beautifully laid off in drives and walks, and in addition to that they have a fine collection of ani? mals, such as bear, deer, lions, camels, and one elephant, besides many other 9maller animals and fowls, i If we never went away from home we would soon be so ignorant people would take us for "green horns." I thought we I had a little of everything in the world here, but if you will go out and look around a little you wIU find that we haven't got anything much except the best country to live in in the world. Atlanta is a growing city?in fact, it is growing too muob, for I see hundreds of people there that ought to be in the coun? try on the farm, where they could make a living for themselves and help to support the balance of the world; but they won't do it, they had rather stay in town and live on half rations (which I have no doubt a great many of them do) than to be out in the aountry where they would be free. Oar next stop was five hours in Borne. This is a beautiful city, situated in the fork of two rivers, one of which is navi? gable several miles above Borne. They have some very handsome and magnifi? cent buildings in Rome, but they have a hotel whore you can get the least to eat for the most money of any place I ever e top? ped at. Yon get ten cents worth of some? thing to eat and sixty-five cents wor.h of finery tc look at, all for seventy-five oonts. Next we go to Trion Factory, on the Chattoogtt River, directly on the C. R. <fc C. B. E. This is only a factory town, but it is one of business and bustle. They run some 23,000 spindles and about 600 looms, I hink, ana make sheetings, shirt? ings, drills and cotton rope. These mills are located in a beautiful valley, we-t of Taylor's ridge, and have for their Presi? dent Mr. A. 8. Hamilton, of Rome, who is as clever a business man as y>u might wish to meet, and are run by our clever and genial friend, Mr. Z. T. MoKinney, late assistant Superintendent of Piedmont. Under hia superintendencv the Trion Mills are making a most superior quality of goods, as well as a handsome profit for his employers . Through the courtesy of Mr. McKinney we took a pleasure trip from this place to Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain. In company with him we left Trion at 5 o'clock, and arrived in Chattanooga about dark Tuesday, 8th inst. We talk about our little corn patches making corn, but our corn hells bore are no more .ban roasting ear patches along side of the corn fields of North Georgia and around Chat? tanooga, Tenn. We spend the night in the city and had the pleasure of seeing the cyclorama?a painting of the battle of At? lanta?which is one of the greatest works of art that it has ever been our good for? tune to look at. Just think of an oil paint? ing which took five tons of paint (ten thousand pounds) to paint it, and several thousand square feet of canvass to paint it on, and yon will have some idea wbat this painting is. Any old soldier will readily recognize the different scenes here depicted on this canvas, which looks as natural as life and death itself. Next morning we p;et on the electric car for Lookout Mountain, for 1 am anxious to see the place where I bad once been during the struggle for Southern fndepen dence. At the foot of the mountain we mount the car on the incline railway, which takes us to the Lookout Hotel on the mountain. I tell yon this is riding up hill, for we go nearly straight from the foot of the mountain to the top, aud if the rope that draws the car up was to break it is uncertain when and where you would stop. In going up we go by the house we once went by going on picket. All of the Jenkins brigade boys ':now this bouse where tbey had the rock basin in the yard for a spring, the water coming through pipes from near the' top of the mountain to it. When we get through looking down on Chattanooga and the Tennessee river winding through the valley below, we continue our journey around the mountain on the narrow-guage railroad to Sunset Bock and Natural Bridge. Then we embark on the broad-guage road for the valley. This road runs twioe around the mountain in making the descent. On arriving in the valley I now want to see our old campground. I tell my friend Zaok I know that must be the place, for there is the big wbito oak trees we got acorns from when rations were short. I know Dick Scott, John Whitt and all of the old Company D, Hampton Legion boys, remember these white oak trees. I then go to the spring and get a drink of water, and teU Zack it has been twenty eight years since I drank at this spring. You have no idea how my memory run back to tho old war days. Here I bid farewell to my old comrades to go borne on furlough* aud it was forever to some of them. There was Dray ton Bennett, John Mauldin, Colbert Mattieon, Tom Loving, Thos. J. DIckson, John Warren, Berry Williams, Duff Bogers and several more of tb ? Wave boys that I never saw again. Some of them were killed at Will's Val | ley, some at Campbell's Station, some at Knoxville and some at Dandridge?all before I got back to the Regiment at Mor ristown. These were certainly sad recol? lections to m?- There is the aamo old house where Cob (afterwards Gen.) Gary had bis headquarters, by t no tent in the yard. So to get away from these scenes of our war history we turn our backs on them and mount the electric car for the city. If any of my old comrades want to see some acorns from the big tree at the spring just come up and I will show them to you. Chattanooga is a live, pushing, business city of about 60,000 inhabitants, which has spread out until it reaches all over the Lookout Mountain fronting the river. We now bid adieu to our friend Zack and start for home, after spending two days and nights most pleasantly with him and his genial wife and family. Corn again?I thought I saw corn on the C. B. & C. Boad, but it was nothing to what they haye along the W. & A. Road. No wonder ijill Arp brags on Georgia, for he lives right in tho heart of the State, so to speak. Now, William, you ?rja making plenty of corn, and I. hope you an4 tfce Alliance won't make us ? pay so much for it tn&ibfi? 7<ear as you did this year. Mr. Editor, w?eu you get time to /lake ! another pleasure trip, ?Q&t go to Asne-1 ville, go to Chattanooga stuj Lookout Mountain and you will not regret it. Go to the Wallace Hotel for your bed, and to the Ohio Eesiaurant, No. 18 West Ninth Street, A. Barkel, Proprietor, and I as? sure you that you will get the most to eat for twenty-five cents that yo# ever saw before. I reckon he is a yankee, but he has been there long enough to become a good Southern man, and I suppose a Democrat. Anyhow, ho is a good, clever man. W. F. L. ?

Editors Intelligencer: Of course all Carolina is interested iu the doings and happenings of Augusta. I therefore make no apology for inflicting on your readers an every-day news letter from this piace. Our interests are mutual and so closely allied aro the two States that whatever is of benefit to one, carries with it a corresponding benefit to the other, and vice versa, whatever works an injury to one, is mighty apt to bruise tho corns of the other. Since that older day when our fathers met and bartered hero on the banks of tho Savannah, or through the period when tho annual fall trips was taken by wagon from Anderson to the cotton fac? tory at Augusta, up to the time when steel rails bound the two places moro closely together, when tho A. & K. and the Savannah Valley Roads wero com? pleted, tho peoplo of Anderson and Au? gusta have boon firm friends and staunch allies, and the big banquet givcu in tho I Planter's Hotel soveral years ago, bore testimony to the sincerity of tho newly cemented friendship which had been the moro firmly bound by iron rails and cross ties. Thero are many who still re? member that evening, when tho entire Savannah Valley united with us and spent a timo of jollification and practical interchange of business ideas, and the feast of reason and the flow of soul of that occasion is even now a source of pleasant remembrance to us all. a more enduring tie. Augusta now invites her Carolina cousins to the formation of a more enduring tie, and to an occasion which will frnctify more material advantages, and moral and financial development, than could a dozen banquets, be they ever so pleasant and replete iu joy. I allude to the coming November Exposi? tion which we are going to hold here, of which South Carolina is an integral part, and to which your State is most cordially invited, that you may participate in the pleasures, partake of the instructions and share in the profits of tho greatest, most varied and by long odds, most I complete thing of tho kind yet convened in the South. And right hero I would suggest, that a most delightful ard profit? able manner of attending an Exposition, is in a body, as a County. Let Auderson gather her beautiful resources together, get specimens of the farm, the loom, the mines and the forests, and come to us with a magnificent County Exhibit, which will cause the outside world to open their eyes in amazement. Advices assure us that the largest display of machinery and other industrial features will be brought from the North, East and West, which has ever been collected under cover. Necessarily an immenso crowd of people from those sections will be on hand in their own interests and for sigh t seeing. It will therefore be the chance of a life time to advertise your marvellous possi? bilities to this great concourse. By a County Exhibit, you place before them an object lesson which they cannot forget* and in illustration of your argument, you give them tangible facts to go on, and not fine spun sophistical theories to dream about. You place in their hands a specimen from tho farm, and say not only "we can do this," but you nay, "we do do it, and here is the evidence that we do." You place under their eyo a sam? ple from the quarry, the phosphate bed or the forest and tell them not only that "our country can furnish these things," you tell them that it "does furnish them, and here the}' are." What a magnificent opportunity for Anderson to show a curi? ous world those magnificent actualities." carolina day. Thanksgiving Day has been sei; apart as peculiarly Carolina Day, and your Gover? nor, with his brilliant staff and tho joint legislature, which does not sit on that day, will attend the Exposition in a body. The world jamous Fusileers and other noted Carolina Military organizations will be hero to take part in tho pageant of soldiery, the-competitive drill and tho sham battle. The Augusta grounds are peculiarly adapted to this class of exer? cise, being large, spacious and of a gentle level, beautifully surrounded with stands and spaces for spectators. Lieutenant Sotherlu, of the U. S. A,, who won such encomiums, and made so many friends at the Georgia military encampment at Chickamauga, will be one of the Judges, and everything on this line promises to be of exceptional elegance and eclat. some of the exhibits. I hare had the privilege of peeping over Manager Henry's shoulder and have caught a glimpse of some of the notable features which will make the Exposition of 1391 a most memorable one, and seri? ously speaking it will be a gorgeous, va? ried and most complete display. The system of Corliss engines, three in num? ber, aggregating 450 horso power, will be the finest in the world, and will operate every piece of the multifarious of me? chanical contrivauce in Machinery Hall. This machinery will consist of almost every device which the human mind is capable of inventing for the use of mau In the manufacturing and industrial pur? suits of tho age. One of these will be a complete shoe factory in operation, which the Goodyear Company, of Boston enters. This aggregation of mechanisms consist of a number of machines for the soveral parts of the shoe, such as cutter, binder, counter maker, machines for the soles, heels, rubbers, tips, buttons, but? ton holes, lace stringers, and so on, em? bracing every part of foot-wear and all of them operated at once and in perfect con? cert. You give your measure, the leather is put into the machines, and lo! while you wait, it rolls out at the other end, a finished shoe ready to be woru. This machine makes every grade of shoe, from the common every day brogan to "my lady's" Cinderilla-like whito kid ball slippers. It is a marvellous arrangement and of itself is worth the time and money of a visit to the Exposition. cotton harvester. Probably the most important piece of mechanism to the people of South Caro? lina, and in fact to all the Cotton States, is tho Cotton Harvester, or machine for picking cotton. This is a wonderful la? bor saving concern, and as I see the cot-/ ton pickers aro beginning to tako to "strikes" and that sort of thing, will prove of incalculable service in tho fu? ture. Manager Henry has a splendid patch of soveral acres at the grounds on which to give this Harvester a practical (.set ?n November. Another display of peculiar utility js tho lire hoso and appa? ratus, with which thp entire building will bo tilled up. The Horticultural Exhibits will bo grand. Mr. Berckman, the well known horticulturist, who has probably done more for the South in this lino than all other men combined, will have a su? perb exhibit from his Fruitland Nurse? ries. This will bo a perfect bower of beauty, and is a feature which Anderson County with hey hundred different kinds of wood is interested, jt'n racy;, too little Attention hps been paid to these Interests fyjtby #o.uih generally, and such things 1 as fciio Expop^oa and such men as jjjerckman. are doing 3,/o^ders toward reviy^g interest in them. ~#^emexts. Athletic sports, horse Viffinfy byciclo; riding, toboggan slides and a thousand and one special spectacular and realistic1 attractions tyrUl be on tho grounds for the delectation of the fun loving and tho small boy, while the Electrical display in tho main building, with its Electric elevator Which runs to tho domo of tho cupola with the passengers, In less time than a twinkling, will attract the attention of tho electrician, tko student of this won? derful and ever developing science and tho curious sightseer alike. Tho Atlanta Constitution furnishes me this closing par? agraph which I use in ending this com? munication : An attractive special feature will ho the Inter-State Athletic meet. Tho club here has perfected a most elaborate pro? gram with fifteen features for each day, and the prizes to be competed for aro costly and elegant, and its premiums many and liberal. Bicyclu racing, box? ing, running, wrestling, jumping, gym? nastic performances and the iiko will all be indulged in by tho Augusta club and thoir visitors. The military competitive drill and sham battle and a thousand and one other special attractions each day hav? ing something distinctly its own, will be presented. These inducements and tho un? usually low railroad rates (1 cent a mile) together with tho well-known hospitablo treatment Augusta always gives to her j visitors will bring tho largost crowd over seen in tho Fountain Electric City, and her fame will spread abroad. Very truly, Grnns Gardner. 1313 Ellis Street, Augusta, Ga. The Fastest Long Trip.

YANWYCK, HOW TO MAKE YOUR sides hau longe NEVER try to wear a Shoe too ntnall, or that is not the shape of the foot. Never let your Shoe get hard or dry. Don't let it run down at the heel or tide. A Shoe repaired in time will retain its shape and comfort, and it is true economy. Never put wet Shoes by the fire to dry, but dry them gradually and carefully. Never dry a wet Shoe without first applying some oil and grease. Don't allow a thick crust of blacking on your Shoes. Wash it off occasionally and apply a little castor oil; you can polish it over in an hour or two. We now have a complete line of the Celebrated Hamilton & Brcwn Shoe Co's. goods in stock, and it is a duty you owe to yourself to give these goods a trial. Our Ladies' ?2.60 Dongola and Goat Button Shoe?made on Opera, Half Ope? ra, and Common Sense lasts?we believe stands without a rival. Our Gents' $2.50 Calf, Button, Ball's and Congress?mado on London i,nd French toed lasts?will simply astonish you, to see how the Shoe could be gotten op for that money. We have the Largest and Most Complete Line of Shoes in the State, And considering the CLOSE PRICES at which we buy, and SMALL MARGIN at which we sell, we can safely say you will lose 15 to 25 per cent in buying else? where.
