The Colored Band has been re-organ? ized, and, a few nights ago, complimented a lew of our citizens with a serenade, among whom was the junior editor of the Intelliqkkcer, for which we return thanks. Too Band is composed of nine members, and, considering the short time it has practiced, plays very well. Oarclevar friend, Mr. D. J. Tucker, of Hopewell Township, who has been quite sick wIth fever for several weeks, is now mending rapidly, and was able to visit the oity a few days ago. Friend Dave has not long been in matrimonial harness, and, of ] course, his rapid recovery is due a great deal to the careful nursing of a good wife.

The teaoheirs are urged to attend and receive as much benefit as possible from it Arrange? ments have been made with the private boarding booses to entertain the teachers fit one dollar per day. The State Superintendent of Education has appointed Miss Nora Hubbard, Prin? cipal of tb e Home School, to go to OrangG* burg and take part in the Teachers' Insti? tute of that County, which begins on Monday, 27th inst. Miss Hubbard is a most accomplished and progressive teacher, and the teachers of Orangeburg are fortunate in having secured her ser? vices in their Institute. The Home School netted $53 from its re? cent Commencement exercises, which has been turned over to the Confederate Mon ment Association. This makes a total of | $222.50 contributed by the Home School to the Association's fund, and the accom? plished Principal and her pupils deserve the thanks of every person who feela an interest in erecting a monument tc the memory of our dead heroes.

Addresses wili be made by the President of the Association, Mr. Lewis W. Parker, of Greenville. 8. C, and by the Orator of the occasion, Henry Mullins, Esq., of the Marion, S. C, bar. There will be other appropriate exercises. All old students of the College are re? quested to attend, and to the public gen? erally a cordial invitation is extended. It gives us pleasure to announce that our youug fellow townsman, Prof. J. Scott Murray, has been elected Professor of Greek in Mercer University at Maoon, Ga., and will begin his duties at the open? ing of the full session. Both the Greek and Latin Professorships were vacant, and there were seveBty-five applicants for the position. The election of Prof. Murray was therefore very complimentary, and he is being warmly congratulated by bis friends. In securing Prof. Murray's ser? vices, the Board of Trustees could not rnve done better. Columbia Register :y "A very novel and intricate question is just now puzzling the executive mind, and possibly the aid of the proverbial Philadelphia lawyer may have to be'called iu to solve it. Some time ago one Andy Sudler was canoeing In the Savannah River mid stream or nearly so between Hart County, Georgia, and Anden on County, South Carolina. While enjoying the pleasure of his trip he was shot at by Mr. Joseph Simpson from the South Carolina shore, for what reason It is not known. Mr. Sudler went before the court of Hart County, Georgia, and made complaint, and the grand jury on the 6th of June returned a true bill against Mr. Simpson, charging him with assault and battery with intent to commit murder, and a requisition was issued by tbe Gov? ernor of Georgia - for the arrest end ar? raignment of Simpson before tbe Georgia cc arts. In the meantime Simpson had re? ceived notice of the criminal case against him in the Georgia courts, and had writ? ten to Governor Tillman to the effect that he did the shooting, but he did the act in Andersen County, in this State; that Sud? ler was nearer the South Carolina shore than the Georgia shore, and that if "he was to be tried on a criminal charge he must be tried where the alleged crime was com? mitted, to wit: In Anderson County. The requisition was duly received by Govern? or Tillman several days ago, but ha in? tends to hold a sort of preliminary exami? nation before he acts on it." Tbe exami? nation will be held Fridy and J. E. Brea zeals, Esq., will appear before the Governor in Mr. Simpson's behalf. We spent Saturday and Sunday in our neighbor town, Abbeville, and while there was the guest of Editor Wilson, of the ever old reliable and interesting Press and Banner. To say that onr visit was a most enjoyable one feebly expresses it, for we never foil to enjoy ourself or learn some Yaluable information while In the com? pany of brother Wilson, who'is justly re? cognized as one of tbe best country jour? nalists in tbe South, and then, too,*we have many friends in the old town who we are always glad to greet While Ab? beville is not progressing rapidly, she is apparently holding her own. The G. C. k N. R. R. is now completed, and running two through trains each way dally. This road is a most valuable addition to the town, and ought to stir up her citizens to renewed energy, zeal and progress. Among tbe Anderson boys who have adopted Abbeville as their home, we had the pleasure of meeting Messrs. Chas. D. and Scott Brown, F. A. Spellman, J. 0. Cox and Dr. Frank Ii Harrison. The first named is. the R. & D. R. B. agent, and is assisted by his brother. We heard some very high compliments paid him for the courteous, accommodating and effi? cient manner in which he discharges his duties. Mr. SpeUman is head salesman for Heath & Co.. the leading firm of the . town, and is highly esteemed by his friends. Mr. Cox says be is pleased with'1 Abbeville, and has made many friends there. Dr. Harrison is practicing medi? cine, is very popular with tbe people, and we were glad to learn that he is succeed? ing finely. The Doctor has recently took unto himself a most charming life com? panion, and, of course, is happy and con? tented. It always gives us pleasure to hear a good report of Anderson boys, wherever they cast their lot. We feel very grateful to Editor Wilson for bis kind and courteous treatment The only fault we find in him is that be still clings to the life of a bachelor. He needs a help-mate, and we are glad to know that he is still hopeful of securing one. We believe if some good woman would ap? proach him in the right manner, she could easily capture bim. ?The Boys In Gray." Dr. J. William Jones, formerly of] Richmond, Va., but now of Atlanta, Ga., is one of the most delightful lecturers in the country. He was a chaplain in Lee's army and is the author of the book enti? tled, "Christ in the Camp," a w.ork of great merit and full of historical informa? tion, which cannot be found elsewhere. Dr. Jones is an intense Southerner, and . his love for the South and her institutions is excelled by nothing unless by his zeal to keep in the minds of our people the principles for which our soldiers fought, and the heroic grandeur with which they maintained those principles during a long and bloody war. ' ? Dr. Jones was inyited to deliver a lec? ture here for the benefit of the proposed Confederate Monument. This be did on last Friday night in the Opera House. With Dr. Jones this iaa work of love, for the entire proceeds arising from the lec? ture were given to the Monument fund, and so earnest is this Christian gentleman in his good work that he bought a ticket for his own admission to the lecture. Dr. Jones spoke on "The Boys in Gray, or the Confederate Soldier as I Knew Him." A fairly good audience was pres? ent and we feel justified in saying that were he to lecture again here, and he has promised to do so, there would not be a vacant seat in the bouse. The Lecturer was unique in bis style and treatment of bis subject, and the lecture was brimful of tbe incidents, scenes and facts concerning the soldier and bis soldier life that make the remi? niscences of the old soldier so absorbingly interesting and cause the blood to tingle at their recital. Tbe distinguished speaker said that he hoped our children would not be taught history from text books that represent their lathers as rebels traitorously fight? ing for false principles, but from books that tell the truth ibout the war and about our people, for of the truth we need not be ashamed. He said Swinton's and Barnes' Histories, and some others, bad no place in Southern Schools, as they are partizan and unreliable. Tbe speaker at one time called the name of Wade Hampton and the applause that instantly greeted this reference was pro? longed and enthusiastic. Frequently was the speaker heartily applauded, but the reference to the old warrior. Wade Hamp? ton, awakened an applause the like of | which is seldom heard in the Opera House. Dr. Jones said he loved the cause of erecting monuments to our Confederate dead. He wanted to see a tall shaft put up to each of our distinguished leaders, but, said he, I want to see the tallest monument erocted on the highest emi? nence and Inscribed to the "Private Soldier." The lecture was heard with wrapt at? tention throughout, and has been the subject of much favorable comment and discussion, Dr. Jones won the hearts of his Anderson audience, and so well did he present his subject that "though we may forget the singer, we will not lorget the song."_ Commencement at ItowndesvUle. Lo iVndesvUjL^j, 8. C, June 13,1892. The Commencement exercises of tbe Lowndebville High School will take place on next Saturday, (18th* inst.) to which tbe public gentirafly are most cordially in? vited. Under the' management and su? pervision of our able and efficient Princi? pal, H. B. Humbert, tbe school has made a bright record durlr.g the past year. The report to be submitted will be indeed gratifying, and no less so to those who are interested in the progress of education. Tbe exercises will take place in the beau? tiful grove on the southern borders of the town, where 8 tastefully arranged stand, with all other necessary preparations for the comfort and pleasure of those present will be made. A basket dinner will be served in connection, and those who at? tend are respectfully solicited to bring with them some refreshments for the in? ner man. Prizes and medals will be de? livered by one of tbe speakers present to those students who have distinguished themselves in literary and deportment. Speeches will be made by the following distinguished gentlemen: Hon. W. C. McGowan and Hon. Walter L. Miller, of Abbeville, and J. K. Hood, Esq., of An? derson. The addresses will be strictly npon education, without the least intima? tion of the unpleasant theme of politics. Therefore those who attend may expe t nothing but the general order of school commencement exeroises. Old Et es. Card of Thanlu. In behalf of myself and family we desire . to return our heartfelt thanks to the I neighbors and friends wbo so kindly and constantly ministered to my husband, Wm. I A, Hall, during his long sickness, which I ended in bis death. May the Loro\re | ward each of you for your faithfi^sjrMce, Eliza j. Hall &nd ^AJtfH^. Hono ? Patli Items. The recent rain has revived everything in the line of vegetation. Mr. L. S. Bigby and family, or Belton, ?pent Sabbath night with M. I. Brock. Ob, how lonesome! was the exclama? tion we heard used last Sabbath. The cause is as follows: Misses Fannie and Sallie WatkinB, Lola Harper, Lou McGee and Maggie Hudgens are off to Greenville ; Misses Lizzie, Janie, Zula and Alma Brock are off to Anderson. Only a few more in town to spare. One of our town authorities laid aside the common gavel and section-of the new town charter, and proceeded to mete ont justice to a citizen with a "claw? hammer," whereupon tbe physician bad left his "piil sacks" at home, and seeing that the patient needed immediate relief; proceeded with a "rock and knife" to ease the pain. Our Mayor being close at hand, had an attack of rheumatism and could not interfere, but two other mem? bers of that honorable body being close at hand stepped up slowly and a reaction took place, agreeably to outh parties. Miss Boss Greer, of "Williamston, came down yesterday to spend a month with her uncle, G. W. Greer. John R. Kay, formerly of this place, but now of Augusta, is in town. Prof. Watkins will put in his vacation by building another nioe cottage. No oitizen has done more to build up the town than the Professor. The Misses Deavenport, of Greenville County, spent last night with the family of G. Y. Moore. Rev. L. M. Rice is in Greenville, too. The farmers are busy since tbe rains, and the clerks now join in tbe political discussions, as their work is light, Mr. C. ?. Harper will be ready for threshing next week. He deserves your patronage this time, as he has lost money two years threshing light crops. Mrs. Chloe Stone died m Wednesday night, and her remains were interred in the cemetery at Broadmouth Church on Friday. Aunt Chloe?as she was called? was 68 years old. Her trials were many. She was never blessed with much of this world's goods. An invalid sister was nursed by her for years, her loom being her only means of support. She never seemed to tire, or grow weary, or forget her duty to her Bister. Her own health failing for the hist few years, she suffered much, but bore it with Christian fortitude. Her whole life seemed to be consecrated to. tbe service of God. She was a member of Broadmouth Church for many years, from which source she received a good deal of aid. Her life was, indeed, an ex? ample worthy of imitation. Mrs. H. K. Watkins and Mrs. Mattie Stepp are visiting in Greenville and An? derson respectively. W. C. Branyon is building a grain houca. His crop of small grain is said to be fine. Mr. J. H. Epps, of Sullivan Township, LaurenB County, who was a red hot Till? man man two years ago, was in town to? day, and reports that Sullivan Township organized a conservative Club 2ast Satur? day with 125 members, and that the Till? man Club has but 112. About SO voters of the Township are non-committal, but are thought to favor the conservative ticket. Two years ago Sullivan Township was almost solid for Tillman. The farm? ers of Honea Path Township are thinking, and will give tbe conservative ticket a good vote when tbe time comes around. Eureka Items. Until recently, we have bad as fine weather for carrying on our work as the most sanguine could wish to enjoy, but for the last few days we have had a super? abundance of rain. Messrs. L. E. Campbell and J. W. Ban? ister have as fine a crop of wheat as we have seen in this community for several years. We are beginning to realize the Importance of being a Belf-supporting peo? ple. Miss Nora Martin, one of Williamston's most attractive you ag ladies, was visiting Miss Zella Campbell last Friday. Miss Zella is out of tbe school room-for a few weeks enjoying tbe quietness of the home circle. Some of our young people attended the closing exercises of the Belton High School on Monday evening. They report a very pleasant time. The programme was carried out in a manner that was highly creditable to both pupils and in? structors. I Solicitations for your vote and for the privilege of threshing your small grain is now the order of the day. It seems that tbe Tillmanites take spe? cial delight in casting insulting epithets and insinuations of a character that is not very complimentary at the fair name of the Rev. Mr. Hiott. A man whose true and noble character towers above the ordinary politician, as the giant cedars of Lebanon lift their green foliage above their less pretentious neighbors. Two years ago, when the Rev. Mr. Earle an? nounced himself as a candidate for the Legislature, not one word did they say in opposition to bis course, but when the in? nocent Mr. Hiott is announced for Su? perintendent of Education they burst forth with a tirade of abuse that is dis? graceful, to say the least of it. The reason of this is yery obvious. Mr. Earle ac? cepted Tillman and his "coat tail," and of course that ended the matter. Mr. Hiott being convinced of their purpose, boldly denounced them as being the wily poli? ticians that they have proved themselves to be. Consistency truly is a jewel. In a recent conversation with a neigh? bor we said the Alliance stores were an injury to the country. How so, he ex? claimed, we get our goods cheaper now than we did before their establishment. Yes, we admitted, you get a few things cheaper, but in doing so you have almost broken op our towns. Ha, he replied, what do I care, if it is to my interest for them to go, why let them go. He seemed to think that the towns were of no use to the country at all; that they were built and kept in repair at the expense of the country, and were a part of the burden the poor oppressed farmer had to bear. So it is with many an Allianoeman; tbey talk as if they thought a home market for our dairy and truck farm products were of no use In the least, as if they would be de lighted to see our live and prosperous towns abandoned, store rooms and dwell? ings pulled down, and the inhabitants forced to leave their native heath, or join the band of down-trodden farmers. We are forced to the conclusion that they do not think of, or care for, the result of such an experiment. Although the production of cotton far exceeds the demand of the consumer, they are trying to swell the number of producers, instead of Increas? ing the capacity of our cotton mills, which, in our opinion, is the most feasible plan that has yet been presented. Needle's Newell News. It has been about three weeks now since I have written up the Newell news, but I am not going to weary your patience by telling you of all the happenings that have transpired in and around our flourishing little burg in that time. No, no; some of the boys might get a little angry with me If I did, especially those of tbem that have courting on the brain. We were somewhat surprised to see so many out at the Mountain Springs Debat? ing Society the first Saturday night in this month. The house was crowded to its utmost capacity, and the debate I think enjoyed by all who were present. The fiubject discussed was, "Are the works of nature more beautiful than those of art ?" Both sides of the question were handled well. Mr. J. M. Smith had the affirma? tive, and his speakers were himself and Rev. James F.Sanders, of FurmanUni? versity. Mr. W. A. Tripp had the nega? tive, and his speakers were himself and John E. Wiglngton, of the "Variety Store." The Committee rendered the de? cision in favor of the affirmative side. I have been requested by the President of the above named society to mvite the ladies to come out again the first Saturday night in July. One of our farmers has about four acres of very fine clover ready for the mowers. Crab grasB has given us less trouble this year than ever. Who will receive credit for it, the bulls of Wall Street, our Gover? nor, or the cold weather that came about the time it generally makes its appear? ance? I saw a load of what they call pretty pigs go down the road a few days ago. They were four weeks old and a $1.50 in diameter. ?* They tell me that they have got fine crops in the "Troglevel" seotion?oorn es? pecially. The general agent at this place says that ha would like to have a good agent for tbe "Alliance Liver Pills" in the Holland's Store seotion. Any one desirous of ob? taining tbe agency for these famous pills will address p. 0. Box 28, Newell, 8. OL, for particulars, From tbe way I have heard tbe neigh? bors talk about setting out slips for the last few days, I have come to the conclusion that tbey all love "taters," King cotton and orab grass both seem to be in very good health, but I don't believe that either one of tbem are looking as well as they did about this time last year. The fine rains that fell recently got a move on the spring oats; *hey are mov? ing their spranging heads and tiny grains skyward to such a degree that sheep shears and scissors will not be needed in harvesting them, So far as we know tbe people of our com? munity are all enjoying good health. I don't think that 1 have learned of any cotton blooms yet, but I am most sure that I have heard some of the neighbors say their cotton had squares on it. ' As there we so tew four-legged sheep in this Township, some one might "jokingly remark" that I should not hurrah for Sheppard, but I believe it is right, and somehow or other I can't help it. Hur? rah for Sheppard and Orr. Nkd Needlf. Belton items. One of the most successful sessions of the Belton High school closed on Tuesday, the 7th inst. Your correspondent, Mr. Editor, from this point, inadvortently neglected to mention the return of Mrs. Mitchell and her amiable daughter, Miss Stella, from Gainesville, where they had been spend? ing several months. They are both look? ing well, and we are glad to welcome their return to our midst. On the first Sunday in this month, Dr. Chas. Manly, after preaching the funeral sermon of our esteemed townsman, Mr. G. W. McDavid, at 11 o'clock in the morning, preached the Commencement Sermon of the Belton High School at 4.30 p. m., and preached again at night at his regular appointment. We had a good andienoe and a fine sermon at each ser? vice. Last Saturday night, the 11th inst., the little child of Mr. Ancil Campbell, of our town, died, and the funeral was conducted Sunday, at 4 p. m., by the Rev. J. C. Stoll. We extend our sympathies to the bereaved parents and relatives. In addition to the funeral sermon, Rev. Mr. Stoll preached morning and evening at the Methodist Church. Your corres? pondent waB present at the morning and the evening session, and he pronounced the sermons very good. Miss Carrie N. Sullivan, a very amiable and accomplished young lady from Due West, is visiting Mrs. Major Williams of our town. Miss Sullivan, we suppose, expects to follow the noble calling of teaching, as she has been attending the Normal School of Nashville. It is very important to have the very best and most highly educated people in our country to train our children and young people. A strange young lady put in her appear? ance at M Jim. Campbell's Saturday morning, June nth. She has come as a Sermanent boarder. We have not learned er name yet. Mr. M. L. Poore, expresB messenger be? tween Salisbury and Knoxville, is on a visit to his mother, Mrs. Annie Poore. Mr. Jas. D. Campbell, one of tbe best stenographers in the South, is just back from a trip to Nashville, Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain. Mr. Campbell has, within a short time, made a considerable reputation as a short hand reporter. Bel? ton is always glad to hear of the success of her sons. Taw. Barnes Items. Mrs. J. M. Stacks has been very sick, but, as we are glad to state, is recovering. Mr. S. P. Pruitt has also been very sick, and he being the blacksmith at this place has placed some of us in a very awkward position, in reference to the effecting of the sharpening of our plows. We are glad to note his improvement. The people of Barnes are a live and on a boom in a great many attainments of life: but we would say to them as Christ said to the rich young man, "One thing lacketh though yet, and that is this: go and improve the talent that God has given thee." I have special reference to the de? velopment of the vocal organs. We have twenty-five young ladles, and near the same number of young men, in a mile and a half of this place: sufficient material for the producing of many noble chords of music, which would waft our souls higher and higher, and give our souls brighter aspirations of attaining planes of higher levels. But no, we are denied this pleasure, development in this respect is ebbing at a low tide. Young men and young ladies take courage, and for the fu? ture let us make an improvement on the past, and refrain from this anyhow-style of making melody to our God. The Rev. Mr. Pranks, from Lowndes ville, preached a most excellent sermon at Beulah last Sunday at 11 o'clock. There has been some talk of moving the school house at this place, only moving it a few hundred yards. This, we think, will be a very prudent act, for tbe present site Is not a good one. We should look after this at an early day, and also to get? ting more sufficient desks. This is busi? ness of great importance, so let us not lose interest in anything pertaining to the de? velopment of the intellectual powers of our children. The school at this place will only con? tinue about eight days longer, as the term will be out. we are all pleased with Mr. Bowen, and are satisfied he has done us good work. The political atmosphere is not stirring at a great rate in and around Barnes. The people are at home preparing that nourishment which they wish to put down their throats in days to come, and are ex? ercising more common sense and judg? ment than to blame Tillman for every set? ting of eggs that don't hatch, or some other foolishness. Mr. Editor, when "Eyes and Ears" and "Bill" stop scarelng each other I suppose they will then continue to write the news from this place. And it will be then that I will stop Innominata. Lebanon Items. Boiled beans and fried chicken are right on us now. But we will not stop to grum? ble about that. The other day we visited our neighbor, Miss Florence S. Dickson. Tbe female brethren were represented from here clear to Texas, and If you were ever thrown in a crowd of females Unexpectedly or other? wise, you know how it is, and. of course yon would not expect me to remember the last remark that was made first. We thought we would tell you how pleasantly the time passed away, but that good din? ner comes looming up in our imagination and may cause us to even fail to tell you what a grand old hill it is, dotted with oaks, cedars, mimossa and China trees, so aged that their limbs spread out and over? lap each other, and embrace tbe comforta? ble old time house with its spacious din? ing room, large, airy parlor, filled with pictures and bric-a-brac that shows a deli? cate taste of reflnemsnt, and with its long piazza and the wind sighing through the leaves they seem to say we will shelter you from further sunshine and storm. From the piazza can be seen the long line of decaying negro cabins, which are silent reminders of "ante bellum days," and as you view those cabins, after so many years of toil and change, and listen to tbe rip? pling of the little sliver stream at the foot of the bill, it gives you a rest spell just to think there was a time once when white folks had nothing to do. Though we think the change is all for the better where both colors are inclined to do right and be of mutual help and benefit to each other. Mr. N. T. Smith has the prettiest field of wheat that we have seen, with not a bit of any kind of fertilizer on it. He was 75 years old last week, and says he read the other day about a man dying at the ex? treme old age of 75, and it scared him up a little, not because ho was sick, but be? cause be was under the impression that 75 years was not so very old. The farmers are busier now than us? ual. The harvest is great and the labor? ers are plentiful. But cooks are scarce. We can live without flowers, music and books, but, oh! we cannot live without cooks. Cherokee Bubbllngs. Mrs. Sallie Keatou, of Brevard, N. C, who has been on an extended visit to rela? tives in this section, has returned home. Mrs. C. R. Kay is off on a protracted Vi3it to her parents at Townville. Mr. Editor, if you want to taste the sweetness of the term, "Farmers' Move? ment," come down and we will fill your "cranium" with a full knowledge of the "pleasure warrior," General Green. Copious rains have fallen and the farm? ers are on to tbe racket with a determina? tion to conquer. Miss Lilly Major has just returned from a pleasant stay of two weeks in the Honea Path section. Several of our youngsters went on a pic nio to Mohawk some days ago. It is wonderful how much some of our young people delight to go down there. Surely the attraction must be great. We are in the habit of regarding greed for gain as the most dangerous of ambi? tions. It is, indeed, the one through which the greater Bhare of mischief is wrought in this our day. So much has this come to be feared above all other vices that we are disposed to regard a man as altogether safe if it be shown that he is not actively enlisted in any schemes of money getting, There are, however, lamentable instances of men who are most dangerous and hurtful, though free from the sin of avarice. Robispiere is por? trayed by his biographers as not all the time looking for some pecuniary profit. In this sense of the term he might have been classed as disinterested, He plunged his country into carnage and misery?not for the sake of increasing his own im Eortanoe, (as the reformers of our day do) ut with the hope of bettering her condi? tion. There is little doubt that he hon? estly believed the wholesale slaughter of his fellow-citizens au unavoidable neces? sity in the proposed re-adjustment of so? ciety. Public spirit became in him mor? bid to tbe last degree. Under tbe influ? ence of the exciting times through which he was passing, it become an unreason? ing and uncontrollable fanaticism. Un? der the influence of this he became a very demon of cruelty. He revelled in human blood with a frantic delight. Nu senti? ment of pity arrested or in the slightest degree softened his laonBtrous barbari? ties. 'Throughout all coming tiiuohe will be held np to execration as one of the vilest mortals whom God over allowed to curse the world. Yet it must be remem? bered that he was led into all this wicked? ness by what in the outset wns a virtue. His zeal for tb.e public welfare rendered him a valued friend of liberty, so long as it was confined within the proper bounds. But when it had secured for him a place of almost unlimited power, the same zeal carried to excess made him a fiend. Other instances are not wanting, though none perhaps so striking as tbis, which shows bow fearfully mischievous mis? guided public spirit may become. Fanati? cism may be truthfully said to be always bad. It may not be so dangerous when the matter about which it is excited is in itself good, as when it is wrong in its very origin. But when the advocates of any cause allow themselves to be carried to this length, they will bring it Into disrepute and eventually to rmn. They who set out to work great reforms should remem? ber that moderation in the end will accom? plish more than intemperance. They who would win the world to assured for? ward movements must be content to move slowly. Babbler. Cedar Grove Item?. We have had plenty of rain, and spring oats are looking very welJ. Mr. Editor, I am not like a fow individ? uals in our neighborhood who say "throw away the Intelligencer and read the Advocate if you are a supporter of Gov. Tillman." I am not bound to Tillman. I am a farmer and a supporter of the farm? ers' movement. I am solid against Shep pard, and will be until I am convinced I am wrong, and it is nobody's business. If the Intelligencer thinks Sheppard is the man for Governor, it is none of my business. I have read the Intelligen? cer ever since I conld ready, anything, and expect to continue to read it as long as I can get it. It has been a friend to me. I do not endorse some of its utterances or position against Tillman, but I know its editors are Democrats and honest men, and if they believe Mr. Tillman is not the right man for Governor, they do right in not supporting him. I accord them the same right I claim for myself, and I be? lieve they will support Mr. Tillman if he is the nominee of the Democratic party, as they did two years ago. So, friends, stop abnsing others because they do not agree with us. Stop and think and see if we are right. Let us see what is under our hat. We may have a beam in our eyes as long as a fence roll. Well, Mr. EdL. , "Kick," of William? ston gave me a correct answer about the road law. We knew that the reason the citizens of Williamston onlv paid two dol? lars for street tax or worked four days was because the village is incorporated. What we country people want now is to have the County law so changed that we can pay two dollars or work only four days on the roads. Let the law be changed and we poor wool-hat, one-gal lus fellows will not do any kicking. We hope our members of the Legislature will make an effort to get the law changed in Anderson County. Corn and cotton is looking well. Tbis is a full-blooded Tillman settle? ment. The Intelligencen has about twenty subscribers here, and they are all Tillmanites except one. Grit.
