R. as ticket agent in this city, has been ap? pointed agent at Ninety-Six. S. 0., and left Monday to assume the duties of his ?new position. He is a worthy, upright ycung man, and we commend him to the good people of Ninety-Six. Mr. Robert i Lflwis succeeds Mr. Carlisle as ticket agent in this city. Mr. Lewis has been em? ployed in the office for several years, and V is well qualified for his new position. Oar old friend, Mr. Ebenerer Ashley, of Martin Township, is one of the oldest sub? scribers the Intelligektcer has ou its list. He is now in his 90th year, and is reaarkably hale and hearty. He is run? ning his farm, and can do any sort of I work. Mr. Ashley is a brother of the hte Rev. Wilson Ashley, and was born in Ma? ryland. When he was & boy his parents settled in Abbeville County, near the line, and he has always resided in and around that aoction. He is one of our most up? right citizen.-'. We will again recommend "Shepp's Photographs" to the public. We can, in all candor, say that it is the finest work of its kind in the world. We, in all our ex? perience, have never seen its equal. It will be a work that will always occupy an important place in any one's household. Mr. A G. Means, a merchant of Ander? son, ban one, and says "that he would not take five times the price he gave for it." The work is all thwt. is claimed for it and ten times more, and nny one that secure* it will never regret it, and the lost but not least reason why we urge the public to at unco avail themselves uf this lust oppor tuility, is because the publishers are going to soon destroy the plates, and uo more will be issued. Presidont Strode, of CleraHon College, in a communication to the Cotton Plant, says : "I will mention another matter that may be of interest to tbe farmers of the State, and which has been proposed to the Board of Trustees and been favorably received. I would like to know how many young farmers of the State would take an inter? est in a short summer session at Clemson of a month or two to receive instruction iu'practical and scientific farming. This session, if held, would be confined to those over 21 years of age. There would be no charge for tuition and the charge for board will be only what might be found to be the actual cost. I would like to receive letters from those feeling an interest in this suggestion, mentioning tbe length of session preferred in weeks from four to eight." The Atlanta Constitution, of last Satur? day, says: "Three months ago, George Crawford, a young negro, killed a man for whom he had been working at Anderson, 8. C. He escaped, and despite the vigor? ous search, has been at large since. Sev? eral weeks ago a reward of $200 was of? fered for bis arrest. Yesterday afternoon Pairollman -Mahaffey found Crawford on Drcatur street in company with another iegro. When told that he was under ar he quietly submitted and came to po? ll*, dquarters. Wben faced with the charge . a stDutly denied his guilt, and for a while it was thought that tbe wrong man had been arrested. Last night, how? ever, Crawford gave in and confessed everything, but declared that the killing was in self defense. The Sheriff at An? derson has been telegraphed, and the ne? gro wiil go back in the custody of an offi? cer to day or to-morrow." Gov. Tillman issued a requisition for Crawford, and Deputy Sheriff Green left Wednesday for Atlanta and will bring him to Anderson Friday. Crawford, it will be remembered, killed a negro on Mrs. Lucy Cater's place, in this city, last November. A correspondent of the Gainesville (Ga ) Eagle, writing from Rome, Ga., says: "But few people who have once made their homes in Gainesville are more thought of and more kindly remembered than Rev. A. A. Marshall, who resides thirteen miles north of this city. ? Two weeks ago to day I had the pleasura-of visiting him at his home and a happier day I never spent. Beauty is not the only feature of bis elegant home, but conven? ience and comfort are displayed in every improvement, for he has made it a model home, and if inar^y others who have coun? try places woulo> imitate him, country home life would soon become more at? tractive. I am glad to feel that there is nothing I could say to the readers of the Eagle that would be moro gladly read than that Mr. Marshall's health is so much improved that he is now almost entirely well, and he Informs me that he has never been happier than he is at present* His sister, Miss Mattie, is living with him, and bis children are all doing nicely." Tbe inauy friends of Mr. Marshall in An? derson will, we know, read the above par? agraph with great pleasure and will re? joice to hear that he has about regained bis health Democratic Club Meetings. Martin Township Democratic Club will meet, at Cliukscales' Mill on Saturday, 9th inst., at 3 o'clock p m., for tbe pur? pose of re-organizing and ejecting dele? gates to the County Convention. R. B.

Mrs. Gwatbney, of Richmond, Va., sis? ter of Rev. Chas. Manly, D. D., Presidont ofFurman University, has been visiting our town, th'o guest of Mrs. A. J. Stringer. Mrs. G. leaves tbe impression on our peo? ple that she is a very excellent lady, indeed. Miss Corrie Poore and her brother, Mas? ter Charlie, both of Anderson, spent Sat? urday and Sunday in our town. Miss Corrie has many friends and relatives in Belton, who are always glad to welcome her visits. Messrs. David and Edward Vaodiver, two of Anderson's most promising young gentlemen, were at the Baptist Church in this place last Sunday. Dr. Chas. Manly, tbe efficient and be? loved pastor of the Baptist Church in our town, was unavoidably kept away from his appointments here last Sunday. Rev. J. T. Smith occupied tbe Doctor's pulpit morning and evening. The weather being pleasant, there was a good congregation present at both services. Last Friday Misses Fanny Horton and Mattie Brown, two very excellent young ladies, and both students at the Greenville Female College, the one on a visit to her father'3 family, the other visiting her sis? ter, Mrs. A. C. Latimer, came to our pleas? ant town in company with Professors Young and Durham, of Furman Uni? versity. Friday evening a tea party wa3 given by Mrs. Latimer to these young ladies and -gentlemen. Several of tbe Belton young people were invited tc the entertainment, and bad an exceptionally pleasant time. We hope the happy party from Greenville will repeat their visit soon. We noticed in the congregation Sunday at the Baptist Church the pleasant face of Mr. Beattie Gossett, one of Anderson's many sterling and enterprising young bus? iness men. Mr. B. F. Carpenter, a talented young man of our town, has just returned from a course of lectures in a medical college in Baltimore. Mr. John Brock of Honea Path and his mother, Mrs. Barbara Brock, have re? cently been on a visit to this place. _ TAW. Hencoop News. Miss Janio Keaton is visiting Miss Cor? rie Kay. We organized a Sunday School at Ebe nezer last Suuday. Please everybody come and bring the children. Mr. Clarence Payne, of Anderson, visits this section very often. Friend Clarence, learn how to hitch your horse next time. We had-a .sociable in the neighborhood recently and some of the girls got badly frightened. One of our neighbor boys had to hold one young lady and her mother with the Alliance grip, and his beat girl, who was not there, is cutting up much about it. If you want to know anything about the quilting ask Misses Janie and Corrie. Miss Minnie Cowan, who has been teaching school at Rocky River, has re? turned home, and some of the young men's hearts are made glad by her return. We wonder if Miss Florence Lafoy has gotten over her scare while crossfbg the bridge? The young folks are looking forward with eager expectation to the last ball of the season, which will take placo in the near future, The wheat and oats are looking linely, and some of the farmers are through planting corn. We attended services at Long Branch last Sunday, which were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Garret, of Greenville. Jon. ? Card or Thanks. WlLLIAMSTOK, S. C, April 4, 1892. We take this method of expressing our heartfelt thanks to all our friends and neighbors who gave us such devoted at? tention and so many kind words of com f3rt during tho last illness of our com? panion mother and sister. Dear friends, may the richest blessings of Heaven rest upon you all. May the good Lord lift us all above our sorrows into those sweet ; thoughts of eternal truth, that brings peace and joy to His believing children. i W. A, Stepjiess and Family, Ncus From Lowndesvlllo. Lown^esvillk, S. C, April 4, 1892, It is reported that Lmvudesville will have sevfiral candidates in tbe field for ofJbw this year. Onr esteoiued frtwnd. Mr. J- U. Thomas, will run for Sheriff, Mr. L. C. Mauldiu will test bis strength for the Senate, Dr. A J. Speer will make a strong light for the Legislature and Mr. W. C. Shaw will run lor the office nearest his heart when the campaign open?. The above is current new?, of course, and your correspondent will therefore give it for what it is worth. All ot these good citizens are Tillmanites. The Ridge Alliance is said to have held three secret political meetings recently. This evidently means something, since that section is gifted in pluck and deter? mination, irrespective of the cause they may choose to espouse. Saturday, the ?tb, is the day appointed for the re organization of the Lowndes ville Democratic Club No. I. A large at? tendance is expected. The Y. M. C. A. will hold their regular business meeting in their hall on Tuesday night. This organization has been doing good work for two years, and the meeting that has been called contemplates the en? largement of this work aud the renewal of certain plans of operation. Mr. J. W. Hardin, one of the most sue cessful farmers in this community, is to be married to Miss Itosella Hall, of An? derson County, on next Wednesday morning. The report that Jim was going to make a change in his mode of living has been current for some time. Mr. R. L. Smith, of Augusta, Ga., aud Miss Willie Leroy, of this place, are to be married in the Preabyteriau Church on the 27th inst. Miss Fannie Henry, Miss Mattie Henry and Miss Emma Lang, of Elberton, Ga , are visiting the family of Dr. D. A. Henry. A negro by the name of Marshall, liv? ing on the plantation of Mr. Berry B Al? len, was almost fatally burned last week. He was snbject to having tits, and was left alone during one afternoon, when this malady seized bim. In this unconscious state of mind he fell into the fire, where be.remained for some time before he was rescued by his friends. So much is being said and writen about the "peace and unity" of the Democratic parly, and yet the most of those pieces tbat appcur iu the County .'papers are cal? culated to stir up strife and widen the breech. The honest farmer is doing his own thinking, and is determined to make his choice upon his conscientious convic? tions in the coming campaign, regardless of the howl that is going up from those who are bound hand and foot to Tillman. This delusive dogma that opposition to Tillman means opposition to the farmers will not serve the "demagogical plan" that has been designed by the office-seek? ers throughout the land. When such men as Sheppard and Orr ventilate the condi? tion of South Carolina, and impress the truth of the necessity for a change in tbe administration upon tbe minds of the peo? ple, this flimsy stuff of fighting the farmer will fall prostrate to tbe ground. The farmers supported Tillman iu '90 because he was promised a deduction of taxes, be? cause he waB led to believe that there was something wrong with the State officials, and because he was toM tbat the enactment of new laws under tbe administration which preceded Tillman meant additional oppression. But the farmer has seen his mistake, and we believe will have the manhood to acknowledge it by casting his vote against those men in whom he has been deceived. "If we propose to delude tbe farmer in the coming campaign we will make a fearful mistake" is the lan? guage of a Tillman office seeker. Al? though the author of this expression im? plies in his language that they have de? luded the farmer once, he frankly Bays it will not do again. We admire his good judgment, but not his politics. ? Lowudesvillo is getting to be quite a summer resort. It is reported that there will bo a number of young ladles here this season from a distance, aud, of course, the young meu are losing no time to have things all ready for their coming. It was a gay time with the young people last sea? son,' and from all signs will be much more so this. Tde time for planting is here, and the farmers are all about ready. Tbey have accomplished good work since the first of Jaouary, and are in better shape to keep their farms in first class order than ever before. Labor seems to be under better control, and the lands have not been packed by hard rains. Spring with its delightful weather, the budding of innumerable varieties of sweet adored flowers, and tbe gay songs of mer? ry birds, is at band. It is the same fond time that inspired the following lines from the gifted poet laureate of England: "In tho Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love." Spring is truly the season of all seasons. The beauty of its greon apparel beneath the soft sunshine in mallow reflection, the choir tbat breathes the soft melody of en? chantment from every playing bower, and with its myriads of voices holds tbe ear of musical talent in speechless silence, the bloom and freshness of its coming, and the glory and animation of its exist? ence, all blend in harmony and love. This picture of verdure and sun-glow, like some panoramic view muralled to to the scene, has hidden beneath its sur? face the cardinal lesson of God's love. It breaks the cold stiff dullness of winter, and charms the eye with nature's power. When the air Is filled with fragrance, and forest trees in seeming smiles and elo? quence bid adieu to the snows and sleet of winter's storm, it imbues the human soul with grateful feelings, and prompts our natures to nobler actions. In Spring we have that lesson of old wrongs lorgiven, burdened hearts made lighter, and the bitterness of life greatly moderated. Old Eyes. Corner Items. We still hear tho cry of hard times al? most everywhere we go, but I think tbat if we will all go to work right and raise plenty of corn and make our own meat, and plenty of cotton to pay our debts, and use more economy, we will quit cursing the . monopolist. The majority of the farmers say plant the most of your crop in corn, but I say plant plenty of cotton to pay your debts, for you can not raise corn to pay your debts. 1t every farmer raises plenty of corn for his farm there would not be much demand for corn, and it would be a very low price. But some one might say that if we raised plenty of corn aud meat we would not owe any debts. But what I want to impress upou tbe minds of the people is that the major? ity of the farmers are in debt for last year's provisions, or* in short words, the coun? try is in a most demoralized condition, and we can not afford to raise coru to pay our d9bts. I believe in a farmer raising plenty of corn to do his farm. He can do this and raise plenty of cotton to pay his debts. For proof tbat there is more money in raising cotton than there is in corn, land that will make ten bushels of corn to the acre will make five hundred pounds of cotton, and your corn at seventy-live cents per bushel would bring you ?7.50, and your cotton at six cents per pound would bring you ?10, making a difference of $2.50 to tbe acre. That would make a wide difference on a one-horse farm?a difference of $75 or ?100?almost euough to run that size farm. Well, Mr. Editor, wo will change our subject and talk about leap year. The girls in our corner have taken advantage of leap year. On one visit three of them weut to see oue boy and had some short words about him. This is bad, but we arc glad to say they were Georgia girls. I heard the ferryman say that one of tho girl's ferriage this year would amount lo ten dollars just going to see the same boy. My girl doe3 not come often, but when she does come she makes her visit pay. I am looking every time she comes for her to pop the question. When she does, Mr. Editor, I will try and let you know how girls are when they want to marry. A number of our young men have re? cently gone to Florida, and it is almost running our girls wild, but look out, girls, they will be back in time. I have heard of boys going West, but thoy are soon back again. Some people say tbey cannot make a living in this country, but an intelligent man can make a living almost anywhere. There are some men, however, who could not live in the garden of Paradise. If our farmers will let the Democrats and Republicans run politics, and thoy run their farms, they will raise plenty of corn and have less hard times. Tho Sunday school and litorary school are like a young married girl's beauty? thoy are fading away. Mr. W. C. Broodwell, who has been working at the Carpenter'r, trade in Madi? son County, Ga., has returned home to farm. He says he delights in farming. Good slow work is the best thing for bill iousness, indigestion and inactive liver I have ever tried. J. M. B. Oar Lebanon Correspondent Tells of a i'leasuut Occasion. Well, Mr, Editor, I must tell what a pleasant time we've had. Lebanon was well represented at the exhibition given by Miss Lelia Roberts at Melton Aoademy, five miles north of here, on the 20th ult. There was plenty of brightness, humor and pathos in their dialogues. Their recitations were highly elevating and re lining. Their tableaux were simply per? fect. Messrs. Mulligan and Shirley wore present with their violins, and Miss Lelia with organ and guitar, with sweet and well trained voices intermingled. We could imagine that the beautiful Chinese lanterns that hung so conspicuously on the cedar limbs aboye our heads Bw^yecl in time to their music's chime. The chil? dren up there have the ideas, and Miss Xelia is certainly teaching them how to shoot. It. was all a troat to us except the rain on the road homo, and we must say wo enjoyed the briefness of that. It was over almost as soon as the severe light nine: and thunder which accompanied it. Easier is nearly here and that reminds me that wo should go to gardening in good earnest, also with pride and pleasure. Was not Christ taken for a gardener Eas? ter moru ? I am sure that Christ in work? ing garb mistook for a gardener is sym? bolical of something. He could never be mistaken for anything save houorabloness of purpose, purity of heart and actions beneficial to His people. I think every neighborhood should meet on Easier anil enjoy music and flowers and have a rc joiciug good time if nothing olso. But the very day inspires us to something nobler and grander. If we would give up to our inspirations we could make tho children happy and impress on thoir miuds the sublimity aud grandeur of that most eventful day, and tho older ones would have more cheerful hearts and hap? pier apirits. What more could we ask. J?MliO. Townvillu Locals. Miss Kate Holleman, the pleasant and accomplished assistant teacher of tho Prcs hvterian school, is visiting her home in Walhalla. Miss Delia Wright, one of the Town ville belles, is visiting 'relations in Pied? mont. Miss Annie Dicksoo, the daughter of W. A. Dickson, of South Union, is visit? ing relatives iu this place. Mr. "Walter Wright, of this place, is reading medicine under Dr. W. T. Hunt. Mr. Harrison Abies, one of Ocouee's re? spected citizens, died the 30th alt. Mr. James B. Myers, another of Oconee's aged and respected citizens passed away on the lat inst. His remains will be in? terred the Baptist cemetery of this place. We sympathize with his relatives and friends in their bereavement. Miss Liza Gantt, tbe beautiful aud en? tertaining daughter of J. A. Gantt, Sr., contemplates attending the Southern Bap? tist Convention, which convenes in At? lanta in May. Two negroes entered the house of Johu Meredith the other evening while he was away aud abused his wife, choking ber nearly to dea?j, then took all tbe meat and flour they could carry and loft. A crowd of men pursued and caught one of the fiends. Tbe other is still at large. I hope justice will be dealt out to these ras? cals speedily. Mr. Editor, I notice that by our influ? ence James L. Orr was nominated Lieu? tenant Governor. I guess we can make out that way, but I would have liked it better with Col. Orr in front. Mr. W. E. Fant, of this place, has pur? chased th*e gin house let owned by Harris McCarley & Co. Mr. Fant contemplates building a handsome residence on the lot. Look out, girls, for you know I am already engaged. Old Rosin De Boav. New Hope Items. The farmers of this section are going ahead with their work. Some are done planting their upland corn, while others are not so fast. One of our brother correspondents wants to know what will keep the crows from pulling up his corn. I can tell you some? thing that is sure to prevent them. It is this: you go to Collins' Photograph Gal? lery and get him to take you a photograph or two and station them in your field high enough for the crows to see them and soe if that don't stop them. Tbe wheat and oats crops are looking very well at this time, and if no disasters come we may expect better times in the future. The cotton crop is not so large, but corn, potatoes and molasses are all you can hear now among the farmers. Raise all such things at home and then you will not hear that awful cry, "hard times." One bushel of corn in your crib is worth two abroad. Mr. W. A. Bowen, of Oconee County, 13 visiting his parents near this nlace. Mr. R. T. Chamblee and J. N". Hillhouse arc visiting friends and relatives in Geor? gia. Rev. Mr. Crout preached a very inter? esting sermon last Sabbath from the fifth chapter and sixteenth verse of the Gospel according to St. Matthew. Next Sunday night at early candle light he will start his protracted meeting at this place. Mam. Salem Items. As no one has written from here I will try and give your many readers a few dots through the valuable Intelligencer. I don't know what we would do if we didn't .have the Intelligencer to read. The farmers are getting along nicely now. Some have p lanted corn and others cotton and corn. Mis3 Carrie Cowan, our efficient teacher, has gone home on a short visit, but will return ere long. Rev.

Wo heard a bachelor- say the other day he was tired of cooking. There is a chance for some girl. Noa. Nova Items. The farmers are very busy now planting corn.

We are on tho cvo of an exciting pollti ical campaign. Tho plotters are plotting and the planners arc planning, and the leaders aro marshaling their forces. What shall Christian men do? Stand aloof? No, indeed. Go in, and take your religion with you. You need not be afraid. If it is genuine, it will stand the strain. If your religion will not servo you in tho Caucus or Convention, or at tho big po? litical rail}-, it would not bo much loss to you or to any nlso if it wero to evaporate. The political sea is full of breakers, and tho horoscopo indicates a storm, and if good men all go below and leave tho care and guidance of tho ship of State to roughs and professional dead beats, she will bo wrecked. Don't listen to tho pot house politician, who muddies tho political pool, and then trios to keep decent men away by the cry, "Take care there, you'll soil your robes." The patriot is tho friend of t/od as well as of men, and God ex? pects His children to make tho impress of their conscience on affairs of State. Go to tho front, in tho name of your Master, and assert \ our privileges and dischargo your duty. You will need to watch and pray. Tho moro religion one has the keener tho senso of danger and dependence, and tho moro ho watches?tho moro good it does to pray, and tho moro ho prays. Pray to bo guided in opinion and action. "But don't imitato John .Smith, who was ex? ceedingly anxious about tho choico of a wife, and prayed devoutly to bo divinely directed in tho matter, but always wound up with the fervent petition to be able to gain tho affections and tho band of Miss Lucy Jones. Proceod on tho hypothesis that you and your party are liafjle to err, and that there may bo some wisdom and honesty in tho other parties, notwith? standing Uioy commit the grievous blunder of refusing to see*overything through your spectacles. Pray for tho moral courage to change your opinion and turn out of tho old groove, when you find you ai o goiug wrong. It takes an im? mense amount of grace to enablo a man to do that. Yon*might pray occasionally for similar blessings on those of opposing parties, but you had better do most of your praying for yourself. And be sure in your watching not to spend all your time with a telescope scauning tho politi? cal fiold, but keep an eye at home. It will pay. Be self-possessed. It is no use to exhort you not to get excited, for if you are worth anything at all you cannot go through a heated political campaign without becoming excited. But you need not lose your solf-control. It is tho en? gine with the biggest head of steam, but under comploto control, that pulls tho heaviest loads rapidly and safely across tho continent. Don't got angry, if you can holp it. And, if you do, obey tho Scripture injunction and sin not, neithor let tbe sun go down on your wrath. There will bo plenty of temptations to anger. Some shallow-pated gentleman, with perfect nonchalance, and in tho most approved form of tho most exquisite oti quettc, will tell you that you aro both a knave and a foof because you diffor from him. But don't get augry. It will spoil the fun. It has not been long since we had the most perfect specimon of a little single idead fanatic wo ever met tell us hp was praying regularly for tho opening of our eyes. That was ? temptation indeed. Why wo thought wo wero wide awake and looking through tho clearest medium straight at tho truth. And tho idea of -. Never mind. Wo didn'tget mad. We laughed it off, and came to tho con elusion that his prayers would do us no harm, and?and?it was hard to confess that there might be just a little film over one eye. At aDy rate, wo would let tho praying go on and try to keep in a good humor. You will find some of tho funny phases of our imperfect humanity drawn with grotesque distinctness on tue political canvas. Tho' man who has the fewest ideas and tho least ones will nurse them with more than motherly devotion and fight for them with the liorceness of a ti? ger. The -man whoso positiveness amounts to brusque domineering will un? dertake to cure your"dogmatism by a dogmatic arrogance that is perfectly re? freshing in its unsophisticated simplicity. The man whoso opinions are inherited and deeply imbedded in the mind by a transmitted prejudice tho growth of gen? erations will condemn you for your want of independent thought and chide you for your truculence. Poor human nature frequently uncovers its worst deformities in politics f?nd then blows a trumpet with a loud blast to call tho eye of the world upon it. But go in. Your country needs you. Play the man. Don't bo a milksop. Don't fall into the noisy parade of cheap, pinchbeck patriotism*and drift along with the unthinking mass. Read and think. Criticise men and measures. You aro one of tho sovereigns. Don't surren? der your maco, nor place your sceptro in the hands of ignorance or corruption. Be firm aud manly, but bo justand generous. Keep passion in subjection tol reason. Hold the balance of judgment above the shifting and tho confusing currents of popular prejudice. Only a few mon can do that. Soek to be one of that royal number. Women aud preachers will excrcisopo? litical influence iu tho inverse ratio of the amount of noise they make.?llolston Methodist. Spring Clothing.
