A man went into the postoffice of a neighboring town recently and told the postmaster that he desired thirteen two cent stamps for a cent and a quarter.' Tbe postmaster refused to give tbem to him, stating that tbe cost would be twenty-six cents.

Finally the post? master ordered him out, but the man, inoihing daunted, took a cent and a twen? ty-five cent piece from his pocket, and laying tbem down on the counter he re? ceived bis stamps for a cent and a quarter. The postmaster wan a little discomfited for awhile, but now enjoys the joke as well as any one, Force Brooks, a respectable and worthy negro, died at his home in Fark Town last Friday evening.

The Pennsylvania gentleman is a bird trainer, and his object in sending the pig eons here and having them turned looso is tit see bow long it will take them to fly home.

It wa3 lively times for a little while Belton It eras, Our little town was livelier last Sat urday than usual, owing to two political meetings that wore held here. Mr. Luther Bijiby, one of our enterpris? ing young merchan's, wears a broad smile this week. He is the happy father of a tine baby girl. Quite* a number of the Belton School went to Cooley's Bridge last Saturday fish? ing. They report an enjoyable time, but did not succeed well in catching the finny tribe. T*o very flue sermons were preached* last Sunday, one morning and evening, at the Methodist Church, by the efficient pastor, Rev. J. C. StoJl. The people ought by no means to forgot that their avocations concern them a great deal more than politics. It makes no dif? ference who is made Governor, or who make onr laws, if we fail to make bread there will be hard times, indeed. Tan. Pont a Path.

Facts From Barnes. The health of this section is good. The measles have not reached us yet.

The young people of our town bad a fishing party last Saturd&y. They all re? port a pleasant time, but caught only four fish. I don't suppose there were a great many fragments taken up. A couple of onr young men went court? ing a few days ago and one of them asked his girl to go with him to the water stand. She accepted, and when arriving there, he asked her to have a drink. After she drank he, not noticing what be was doing and being carried away with tbe conversa? tion, took a drink out of tbe washbowl. Look here, i'riand John, don't lose your presence of mind. Mr. S. A. Morgan is going to cultivate a watermelon crop this year. Mr. Editor, we wish him success, and if we can get on the gee side of him we will send you an invitation in due time.

There has been great excitement over on Cracker's Neck tor the last week. Over two Ii und rid citizens have been scouring the woods and swuuips searching for the uegrod* that assaulted Mrs. Meredith. A negro boy put tbem on the wrong track, and when the infuriated men found it out they c-ttight the hoy and thrashed him good. The guilty partie?, it is thought, are still at large. Mr. Hiott Dean, living near this place, had two infant children to die on the 7th inst. Mrs. William Jenes, cf this place, has been qnite sick, but we are glad to learn that Bhe is some better. The whooping cough has again made its advent in our town. Fishing is now the order of the day. I don't know which can get the furtberest from the truth, tbe fisherman or the bird hunter. The gold fever still rages in Townville. You can get tbe genuine Texas German |? millet reed from Bruce & Bruce, of this place We understand that W.

Mrs. Mary Todd has built a garden in the same place it was forty years ago?the year she was married. She says ehe would like to live part of her life over again. We heard an "old lime" farmer remark the other day, that if some of our neigh bora, friends and newspaper correspon? dents would drop Alliance and politics, slay at home, work a little-harder, "hard times" would be a thing of the past. How can we help from saying, ditto, brother. One day last week two of our neighbor girls disguised themselves, went to a house not far off 3nd enquired the way to Trial Justice Williford's to get married, When the lady of the house told them the best she could, they started off the wrong way and she told thorn they wore going wrong. They told her to go back in the houso and shut her mouth. She went back, got her pistol, went out and shot two or three times to scare them. They run off, jumped in a gully and after they thought everything wns culm and ten no, Evuuud Lulu went home scared, but wiser girls.

Mr. Editor, some of the boys got married last Christmas and have nearly quit com? ing to Sunday schoolet alone the Debating Society. What will we do for them ? Gardens are looking fine, and if nothing happens to them it wont be long 'til we oau have English peas for dinner, By tho W8y, the men say that I will have to help them v/or k the roads this year.

Apply at the Intelligences oflloe. 40-1 Wants Information. Editors Intelligencer : As there lias been uo much said about ihc Thirteen Con? vention I would like to ask a few ques? tions for information. How many docs it require to call a Convention ? If I have been rightly informed the Shcll-Tillman Convention of March, 1S90, was the work of only a few. If I am not correct in this I would like for some one to rise and ex? plain. Prior to March, 1890, it was not the rule of the Democrats of South Caro? lina to have a Convention so early, but in March, 1890, the Slxell Convention, as it was Cdlled, put a State ticket in the field. If it was right two years ago, why is it not right at this time? I think that Conven? tion established a precedent. I see an arti? cle in the Peoples Advocate of the <th inst.. over the signature of "T. H It," speakir.g of the Haskellites and the Strad dlefence Thirteen. If I am not mistaken the said "T. H. R." didn't only straddle tbe lence about ten years ago, but got clear over on tbe other side. I think it was in 1882 that be, the said "T. H. R.," affiliated with the Greenback party. I don't want to speak disparagingly of any one, and if he, tbe said 1 T. H. R.," did uot do so he can just say no. "T. H. R." says how easy it would have been for the malcontents "to have waited until April and controlled the organization of the Clubs with the lar^e majority that they, the malcontents, claim to have, and send delegates to the May Convention, and that* Convention would have carried out their wishes. Why didn't "T, H. R." talk that way two years ago? Men who have been vuscillating all their lives, as some have, to rise up now and talk about men who are tried and true, I think it is just too much. To talk about such a man as Orr, whose service to the State is almost part of the State's history. The Work he did in the campaigp of 187G, and the services be rendered in tbe Wallace House he'need uot be ashamed of, and the people of South Carolina ought to be proud of. I am not a politician, though I am twenty one years old, and I think I have a right to my opinion and to ask these questions. JOHN C. GANTT. Iiroylcs, 8. C. Prospect Items. Well, Mr. Editor, as my first escaped the waster basket, I will como again. The health of our community is very good at present. * The farmers are well up with their work; some are planting cotton ; some are not done putting in guano. I hear a boap of talk about planting less cotton in this community, but, judging from the guano that is being put in, there will be as much planted as ever. I would urge the farmers to plant less cotton aud more corn. I have cut off one-tbird of my cot? ton crop and planted it in corn and small grain. Mr. Editor, I went over into the "Wild Hog country" last Sunday, and attended Church at Mount Tabor and listened to an able sermon delivered by Rev. H. M. Allen. Mr. Editor, if ever you visit that petition of country you will never regret it, for you will never find a more gener? ous and hospitable people than that "Wild Hog country" affords. They may not know the war is over, but there is one thing they do know; tbey know how to have "hog and hominy" at home and phmty of it. By tbe way, Mr. Editor, I wish you would ask "Ned Needle" to tell us the joke about the Alliance liver pill. I always like to know what I am laughing about, but this is one time that I laugh and don't know what at. Please tell us, Bro. "Ned," so that we can laugh intelligently. Well, as I Bee you allow the boys to "gallize," I suppose you will allow me to moralize. We bear a great deal said about bard times, aud I think more than should be said, unless people were trying to make times better, various men and things are said to be the cause ; such as Tillman, bulls and bears of Wall Street; banks and merchants, and a hundred other things that have no more to do with hard times than the man in the moon. The only merchant that is causing such hard times in this country is the whiskey dealer ; and be could do us no barm if tbe men just bud sense enough to let Lira alone. But they will not do it. They will deal with him when they know that he will make bard times for them in this world, and worse in the next. Hurrah fur Seuator Glenn's wiue bill. Well, I will close for this time. Tell the scribblers to always look for Non Conscibe Sxar. Mohawk Items. Well, Mr. Editor, everything seems to be on a boom aud wo are all having a good time and lots of fun. There was a sociable in this communi? ty recently, and two certain boys went, and took their guitars to play for the crowd. When they got to the place they were asked into tho parlor to play, but they ? neglected to pull off their hats. Their host was in tbe sitting-room smok? ing, when they began to play. He thought he would go into the parlor to hear them, nut-he got awful mad when he saw tbem with their bats on, and bo began a fight with the boys. It is said that in his scuffle bo accidentally swal? lowed his pipe. I do not know whether it is a fact or not, but anyhow they say the pipe is missing. Boys, let mo give you a piece of my advice: tho next timo you go to a sociablo leave your hats on "the gate post. If anybody wants to langb till their sides ache, just give friend Olin Parker a call aud get him to tell you the joko on John about having to watch both ends of tho road. Miss Johnnie Kcaton was visiting friends hero last week, but has returned home. Cur bacholor says he would be glad if sho would visit us frequently. Mr. John T?te, it is said, hitches his horse at cedar rack right often now. John, tie your horse good, so it won't be breaking loose and grazing in the wheat, as usual. Mr. Irby Carwilc aud sister, Miss An? nie, were visiting friends here last first Sunday. Miss Annie, come again and visit this humble correspoudent. Hank, Princeton Items. Don't you think, Mr. Editor, it's awful funny how some of us old fellows get up items? I am u?hurrah for Tillman ! Thai's what I saj\ Tie a man's hands aud what can he do ?
