He had gone i the house of a negro woman to quell _ jr alleged disturbance, and while sitting in the door was shot from without. The coroner held an inquest to-day. The ver? dict was that Hughes came to his death by a gunshot fired by Tom Brock, and that Tom Carey was an accessory both before and after the fact. The shot is supposed to have been intended for Andy Carson, colored, the woman's paramour. Brock fled, hot officers are in pursuit, and his ?rrest is hourly expected. Carey ?ras comlultlzi to jail. GROWER CLEVELAND-TOE PLAT FOBM. The National Convention of more thun 900 Democrats did splondid work at Chi? cago last week. The first ballot showed that Grover Cleveland would get the necessary votes, which was two-thirds of the Convention, to mako him tho nominee of the party, and thereupon be was unanimously made the choice of the Democracy by an accla? mation vote. That was done at about 3 o'clock on last Thursday morning amidst the most tremendous cheering and ap? plause. Thrice has this distinguished Democrat had this high honor thrust upon him. No man since the days of George Wash ton has been so honored. No man has moro deserved the honor. In 1884, when he was first selected as the Democratic leader he made a successful fight, and gave tho country the first Democratic admin? istration it bad bad since Buchanan gave place to Lincoln. In 186S be was defeated, not because bis administration bad been a failure, not because his platform was a failure, but because of treachery in the State of New York. Again he is the Cap? tain of the Democratic hosts, and as has been truly said, if Grover Cleveland can? not win, then Hill conld not, nor could Boies, nor Palmer, nor Campbell nor any other Democrat. Tho ticket was completed on Thursday evening by the selection of Gen. Adlai E. Stevenson, of Illinois, for the Vice-Presi? dency. Stevenson was First-Assistant Postmaster-General during Cleveland's administration, aid is a strong man. His policy is to reward his party with the of? fices, and he practiced it while in office. His father was a North Carolinian, and therefore Gen. Stevenson feels a special interest in the South. ' 'Cleveland and Stevenson can be elected if every Democrat will do his duty, and every Democrat worthy the name will do this duty. The platform Issued by this great Con? vention of Democrats is an admirable enunciation of Democratic principles, and is broad enough for Democrats of every shade of belief to stand upon. The perpet? uation of this grand Republic and the -happiness and prosperity of the American people depend npon the ultimate success of the principles of Democracy. In point of importance the tariff reform plank comes to the front. Its treatment is ringing and unmistakable. The Mc? Kinley law is heartily condemned and the evils arising from it exposed, and their correction is promised. Republican , rotectio'n is denounced as a fraud on the labor of the masses for the benefit of the few, and it is declared that the tariff taxes should be limited to the necessities of the government when honestly and econom? ically administered. The next in importance, perhaps, is tho declaration for tbo coinage of both gold 'and silver without discrimination against either metal, for an honest dollar, and the denunciation of the republican legislation of 1890 known as the Sherman Act. The party is alright on the money question. It is recom mended that the prohibitory 10 per cent, tax on State bank issues bo repealed. The Force Bill is denounced, and the party pledged to fight it forever. The principle of reciprocity is com? mended; laws for tho suppression of trusts and combinations are demanded; public lands illegally granted by the Re? publican party to railroads will be re? claimed ; the reform of the civil service is commended; Russian treatment of the Lutheran and Jewish subjects is con? demned ; a protest is made against the United States being made a dumping ground for foreign criminals; a fair pen? sion appropriation is recommended, but the present administration of that office Is, denounced as corrupt and dishonest; popular education is urged, and the States recommended to make liberal appropria? tion for this cause. The above is only a rough summary of the platform, which we will publish in full at an early date, and we recommend that our readers study it closely so that its merits may be fully understood and so that each man may know why he is a Democrat, or why he should be a Demo? crat, Cleveland and Stevenson! Tariff reform and a sufficient and honest currency! Death to the Force Bill! Economy and reform! Surely the Democratic party deserves sucoess! Surely it will win success! Work for Cleveland! Work for Ste? venson ! Work for tho Democratic plat? form ! And while South Carolinians are working for a good Xatjonal Government, let them not forget to work for Sheppard and Orr, that our State Government may be on a par with the National Govern? ment. ?W IS THE TIME FOR WORK. Ibo Rallying Cry of the Conservative Democrats. Columbia, S. C, June 23.?Tho Exec? utive Committee of the. Conservative De? mocracy held a well-attended meeting here to-day. The principal business was the adoption of a clear-cut address to tbo Democracy of the State. There can be no mistaking the position of tbo Conserva? tives. The address is as follows: Columbia, S. C, June 23, 1892. Fellow-Democrats of South Carolina : The wires have just announced the nomi? nation of Grover Cleveland for the Pres? idency of the United States by the Na? tional Democratic Convention at Chicago. The Conservative Democracy of the State accepts this announcement with joy, and will work for the success of the ticket against secret foes within the party, as well as outspoken opponents. We felt that the Democracy of South Carolina, the rank and file of the party, had been plac? ed in a false position by the recent Con? vention in Columbia, dominated by Ben? jamin R. Tillman and his satellites, when it denounced Grover Cleveland as un? worthy of Democratic confidence; but the grand council of the Democracy of the Union has given back the answer to the slanderous charge by endorsing Grover Cleveland for the highest office in the gift of his countrymen. Let us then inscribe upon our banners: Cleveland and Steven? son, Sheppard and Orr; Democracy and victory. The campaign has opened for State offi? ces. The State Democratic Committee has appointed the County meetings, at which candidates for State offices, and none others, are allowed to speak. In Au? gust next, at a primary election, you will vote for delegates in your respective Counties, who will attend a State Nomi? nating Convention in September and the September Convention will nominate the Democratic candidates for Governor, Lientenant-Governor, and tho rest of the State ticket. Finally, in November next, at the general election, you are to support, with your united votes, the candidates nominated by the September Convention against such candidates as may be nomi? nated by your old antagonist, the Repub? lican party, or by the Third Party, com? monly called the Peoples' Party, or by both. Since the redemption of South Carolina In 1876, under the glorious leadership of Wade Hampton, who bore the banner of tho Democraoy to victory over the vllo crew of Radical spoilsmen who had dis? graced and well-nigh ruined our beloved State, our elections have been decided by the action of the Democratic party in its nominating Conventions, because the white people of South Carolina, remem? bering the period of Republican misrule, determined that there should be no repe? tition of its disgraceful history, and with? out distinction of class or occupation sup? ported at the polls true and tried Demo? crats to be their public servants in the va? rious offices of the State Government, And although most of the time the Repub? lican party had the Presidency of the Fed? eral Union, and attempted to -e-eatablish its foothold in our State and . .roughout the South b7 trying to pass odious eleo tion laws and force bills, theso attempts of our enemies have been prevented Vy the Democrats of Congress, who have al? ways rallied to our assistance in every emergency, and have defeated these dire designs upon our prosperity and peace. During four years of the period alluded to Grover Cleveland, the most illustrious Democrat in our party, was President, and under his patriotic administration of tbo Federal Government tbo sectional is? sue was laid asidn, for ho knew no South, no West, no North, no East, but only a united country. During his term of otlico the Radical leaders no longer held Feder? al offices ia South Carolina, and the De? mocracy of tho State became further ce? mented and strengthened, j In this condition we were invincible from attacks from without, and could on? ly become liablo to tho misfortune of Rad? ical ascendancy if we divided among our? selves. The movement in which we ask you to join with us is inspired solely by a desire to prevent such a division of tho Democracy, which by a chain of eveDts bos become the danger of tho hour. Four years ago there appeared on tho political arena in South Carolina an agita? tor, Benjamin R. Til: man, who started to advance bis own personal ambition by sowing dissension and discord among those who were brethren. Adopting as the pretence for his canvass the cause of extending to thofarmers additional ad van? tages for higher education in agrioulture, he advanced his selfish ambition by or? ganizing a political faction of which be j was the bead, whoso stock iu trade was I abuse of those whom the people, tho Democratic party in the State, by tho voice of the party, had placed inj>ositions of trust and responsibility. This was followed up in 1890 by the most disgrace? ful campaign in the history of our Stato. By bis abuse of those chosen by you to administer our Stato affairs, and by his skillful combinations with Green backers and malcontents in our party, and by di? vided counsels in our ranks, two years ago the State Administration passed into his hands. Upon becoming Governor of the Stato it might have been expected by some that Mr. Tillman would have exer? cised his high office in the interest of the whole people and for tbo good of the State. But, unfortunately, this man, who started I with the assertion that be desired no office except to be a trustee of Clem son College, now sets his aim for another position for which his patronage and the power of the Governor's office gives him advantages in the race. I The Agricultural College issue has I served its purpose and the same remains { unbuilt, and now there must be another j issue raised?that of an attack upon the I enterprises which have been organized I within our borders by capital at home and I from abroad. His injudicious treatment' of our finances having reduced our re? sources, injured our credit at home and abroad and decreased the value of our bonds, he must raise funds to carry on the State Government by bleeding the corpo I rations to make up deficiencies in our in I come caused by bis mismanagement, j The result is that capital from abroad j ceases in a great measure to seek our I borders a* it does other States iu the South, and the scarcity of money occa I sioned by our poverty and tho low price I of cotton is therefore without relief from abroad. Such is the situation in South Carolina to-day. It cannot last, however, for the innate good sense and patriotism of the masses of our people can be depended upon to relieve us of the inoubus of an unsatisfactory management of our State affairs and to restore South Carolina to the position she has heretofore occupied, since tho restoration of Democratic rule, as a prosperous and progressive State, emerging from the disasters of war and misrule, determined to retrieve the for? tunes of all classes of her people. Politically the emergency is a grave I one. The people, loyal in their hearts to the Democratic parry, have been treated I with periodical doses of Third Party ism, I and the Executive himself in more than one public utterance has taken occasion to abuse the Democratic party, if bis in? terviews in the press have quoted him correctly, and ho has not denied their ac? curacy in this particular. But he must bo judged also by the utterances of his allies in politics, who boldly announce doctrines at variance with the time-honored and time-tested Democratic principles; while calling themselves Democrats threaten to desert the party if their demands are not I acceded to, and we understand that it is a part of the programme of this campaign that pronounced Third Party men are to be permitted to vote at the Democratic primaries to decide who shall be the Democratic standard bearers in the com? ing election iu November. ?? We offer to you as Democrats true and tried Democratic standard bearers, and we ask you as Democrats not to imperil the victory of 1876 by any alliance with the men whom the Third Party it es are willing to support. Let us stand by the Democratic colors, and give onr united support to the ticket which represents a solid Democracy, true to principle and to party, and in doing so you will be. true to yourselves as men and Carolinians. As to the special State issues wo an I nounce our opposition to raising tho poll tax to three dollars as advocated by Gov. Tillman in his inaugural address, and call your attention to tbo large amount now uncollected and the failure of all measures heretofore adopted to collect this tar. from delinquents, and the fact that the enforce? ment of a larger tax would entail untold expenses upon the taxpayers of the State. We are opposed to increasing powers of the Governor, because he is not the mas? ter, but the servant of the people and he should not meddle with other branches of the State Government in violation of the ? Constitution, which prescribes that the legislative, executive and judicial depart? ments of the State Government shall be distinct, and forbids such interference; and we arraign Benjamin R. Tillman with violation of his duty under his oath of office for undertaking to procure the election of a Legislature subservient to I his will, and for assailing and endeavor I ing to intimidate the judiciary, and we appeal to the manhood of the Democrats to rebuke such arrogance and assumption of power. j We believe that the people of South Carolina aro aroused to the situation. Our advices from all parts of the State point to the fact that the August primary will toll tho death knell of Tillmanism. All we ask is your united offort for good government as against the horde of office seekers who are now enlisted with Benj. R. Tillman against the peace and prosper? ity of the State. By order of the Execu? tive Committee. Samuel Dibble, j Chairman. ' The entire campaign Committee was present at the meeting. Andersonvllle Zteins. I As our last contribution found its way j to that ever ready waste "basket," aud for good reasons best known to tbo editor, we will try again to give the readers of your valuable paper the happenings from our little village. We have bad fine seasons the last two weeks, and the crops are looking fine, in? cluding the grass. If any one wants grass, come over and we can accommodate you. Our miller is prepared to grind all the wheat that is brought to him, and will give good satisfaction. A party of youn*, men from Anderson spent tbe week in camp at this place on a fishing and pleasure trip, but as the rivers were somewhat high, they report poor success. A certain young man of this section car? ried his pistol to a blacksmith for repair, and while in the shop it was stolen, but the one who got it left the trigger, and now he wants them to come back with tbe trigger. We don't wish anybody any harm, but we would be glad if all tbe pis I tola in the land were in just the same con? dition. Miss Mattie Caldwell, a young lady of Elbert County, Ga., is visiting her brother I in this section. Hon. E. P. Earle, of Ooonee, visited us last week. By some means the Intelligencer did not reaoh us last Thursday, but we hope to-day's mail will bring it brim full of news. I Our Sunday School visited Double I Springs on last 3rd Sunday and report a j nice time, but as they did not use the I same book3 of the other schools, they I could not take any part in the Quarterly I Review. Mr. Editor, politics are on a boom in this section and Tillman is ahead, but as for ourselves we have not said what we I are. Tillman or Sheppard men, but never I theless give us the Intelligences. We read both sides, and can't decide which ia right. Hurrah for Sheppard and Tillman for Governor, and N. R. Green for Sheriff; and now we will close by hurrahing for tbe Intelligences. Waco. P. S.?Burt, our mustache is alright, but it is more than you can say of yours. You ought to have it insured agcinBc frost._ Waco. Lebanon Items. J Please tell your readers, Mr. Editor, if I any of them have any kind of neuralgia or rheumatism this damp weather, they had better go to Simpson & Sou and get a a 25 cent bottle of Favorite Liniment. There is no better remedy?it cures right now. If there Is any place in this country where there are no flies we would be like j the prophets of old concerning tha prom? ised land, satisfied just to got a peep therein. This i3 the seaaon for our boys and girls to be graduated, or, as some say, fin? ished. We hope they will consider this and conclude they have not finished, but have just made a bright beginning and will bold out faithful to the end. They say knowledge ia power, and so it is, in? deed, powerful, if it's a knowledge of the good and tbe right and the true and the noble. That's the only kind of knowl? edge that will prevail in the end. I Our farmers have a smiling exterior, but it's only from force of habit, as their spirits are a little down now. Messrs. Thompsons are threshing right on. The lowering clouds only seem to hnrry them up. The grain ia turning out well. If the old darkey was living be could apply his quick wit as seasonably now as he did when he said, "More rain more rest." His old master, being somewhat out of humor on account of the quantity and quality of the grass says, "what did you say, sir?" "I say, Boss, de more it rain de more de grass grow.' Prof. Hamlin is viaiting his old borne in North Carolina. Prof. Holland and family, of Central, are spending the summer with his father in-law, Mr. C. Welborn. A good many of our farmers are attend? ing Court in Anderson this week. They say they would rather be at homo at work, but we'll never believe that ns long as the sun shines at the preHent rule. Needlb's Rjwell Kvwu. "We have had good rains in this commu? nity recently, and all vegetation has ro vived and looks very promising. Some of our farmers have got; cotton knee high, watermelons nearly as large as a quart cup and corn as high as a man's head. In fact, we are all looking ahead for a glo? rious time?that will be you know when we get our crops layed by and the big meetings commence. English peas, Irish potatoes, cabbage, beans, blackberries and frying chickens are all very plentiful. Mr. Editor, it would take more than a column of your valuable space for me to tell you and your many readers about all the good things that are about to slip up on us. So I will say, hurrah for Sheppard ! and pas? on. Everything is, I am glad to say, quiet and peaceable around Newell- A good many of our farmers will have to attend Court this week. We didn't gpt to work much on the farm last week, and I wouldn't be surprised if ''General Green" don't make it pretty lively for them when tbe;r return. "Now, in conclusion, I want to say to that little boy that puts in so much from Newell to the Intelligencer, if those Alliance Liver Pills that he so often speaks of are recommended for swellhcads for him to take a couple of boxes and stop hurrahing for Sheppard and trying to write on politics." The above was seen in a Bruno budget owned by a little fel? low named Don Lino, who was standing in the columns of tho People's Advocate last week. It is a strange way the little swellhead has of asking me if 1 think the "Alliance Liver Pills" will do him any good, isn't it? However, people under? stood him, but would have thought more of him if he had come out plainly and said: "I am a swellhead and want to know If the "Alliance Liver Pills" will do me any good ?" You have as good as said yon were a 8 wellhead, Don, but that ia not the worst of it. Other things seen in your budget go to prove that your political bowels aro in a very bad condition. Now, as a friend, I advise you to take three "Alliance Liver Pills" immediately, rub occasionally with politician's quick relief, tighten up at least twice a week with a brain box tcrew-driver, and bo sure to keep yourself free from exposure until your head resumes its natural shape. Re? member, friend Don, that this is a free oountry, and that I have a right to hurrah for who I please. The correspondent at Cason informs his readers that the day he wrote his little article for the People's Ad? vocate, of June the 13:h, was a day of great political excitement. As to his being ex? cited I have no reason to doubt, as be only sung the two first Hues of his favorite song? "Governor Tillman and the farm, Around his banner let us swarm," Forget about the good old book, And on to Governor Tillman hook. Over truth and right let us ride, Hiss and sneer at the other side, For we are bound to ring that bell If the rope swings deep down in hell. Coosaw lands for a melon patch, Railroads and factor:-- g<> to scratch. Brave boys lot us meet *t the tanks, Divide the cash, tear duwii ihe banks Not Harrison for President, Perchance some of us may be sent, Then we'll "golasenger" our ring, And say to all our birdies sing. Ned Needle. Eureka Ittims. The hum of the thresher is again beard in our midst. They will have more to do this season than they have for the past few years. The fine weather of the past few days has greatly invigorated our flourishing crops. We don't remember of ever seeing cotton and corn grow much faster than they have lor the last few days. This community has as fine cotton as we have seen this season, and we am very near the average on corn. We had the pleasure a fow days &ince of seeing the much talked of reaper and binder at work in the harvest field. Our enterprising neighbor, Mr. W. Q. Ham? mond, has been using two of those ma? chines during the past season. He says they are far superior on smooth land to the ordinary cradle. It certainly is an in? teresting sight to see small grain cut and bound without help from the operator. Our muoh esteemed pastor being absent last second Sunday on a visit to the home of his childhood, his pulpit was Glied by Rev. Mr. Stepp, of Honea Path, who, in a very impressive manner, delivered an able and instructive sermon. lie uleo made a very appropriate Sunday school talk before preaching His visit was highly appreciated by the congregation, who would be pleased to hear him again in the near future, We wero pleased to see the genial faces of Mr. W. A. Geer and family, some of our former neighbors and Sunday School workers, at preaching on the 2nd ult. Little Lucile is as sweet as ever, having entirely recovered from a very painful burn. The health of this section is very line at the present wilting, No malaria about 'possum ridge, Your Crayton and Cedar Grovo Corres j pondents seem to be proud of their Till I man settlements, and we, Mr. Editor, are just as proud to say that ours is not solid for the bambooz'er. Although we have a good many Tillraauitei arouud us, we still stand up for Sheppard and Democracy. W* are opposed to bossism, third party ism, dictators and ring rule. And where can you find a worse ring than the one formed by Tillman, It by and Shell. We are opposed to Tillman, because he has sowed dissension and discord among those that were brethren for the sole cause of advancing his own personal ambition, be? cause of his attacks upon the enterprises which have been organized within our borders by capital at home and from 'abroad, because of his injudicious man? agement of our finances, resulting in an in? jury to our credit at home and abroad, and in depreciating the value of our bonds, because he advocates a three dollar poll tax, which would be a grievous burden to a majority of the taxpayers of the Stat6, and for undertaking to procure the elec? tion of a Legislature subservient to his will, and for ossaajling and endeavoring to intimidate the judiciary. And we be? lieve the people of South Carolina will re? buke such arrogance by tolling the death knell of Tillmanism at the August pri? mary. * Real's Creek Items, It has boon about a month now since I have written the "Seal's Creek news, but I will not tell you all that has happened between that time. If I do some of the boys will be angry and some glad, and so I will just tell you a little about our town. I heard a fellow say Sunday that he thought when the Neal's crowd went to Mo? hawk that the Neal's correspondent got killed. But look here, Jesse, I am still living, and want to live a good while yet, but we certainly enjoyed that day of the pic nie. I think I shall go again before long. Julian says he does love to go to Mohawk, I don't blame him, for he has a fine girl down there. As far 'aa i^e know the hoalth of this community is very good, and everybody is looking well, I guess the reason is be? cause the vegetables have come in, frying chickens are ripe and everybody is hur? rahing for Sheppard, Miss Kate Martin, a very amiable and accomplished young lady from Anderson, was visiting here bunday. Come again, Miss Kate, and stay longer. We have had plenty of rain, and the cot? ton and crab grass are just growing right along, and the corn crop is fine, too. The farmers are busier now than usual. The harvest is great, and the laborers are plenti? ful. The farmers say it is a good wheat year. Messrs. Cliff, and Julian Martin have started out with their thresher. Come right ahead, boys ; we are ready, willing and waiting. Mr. Cliff, says he wants to go where he can get some more of that good chicken pie like ho did last year. Come along, we will feed you good. Just let everybody hurrah for Sheppard and we will all live and have plenty to eat, Farmer's Lad. County Convention.

McConnel, Committee Attention, Ladlest Editor Intelligencer: You will please allow me space in your paper to enter my solemn protest against a prac? tice that I think is more from thoughtless? ness than anything else. Some time ago our merchants agreed to close their respective stores at 6 o'clock, p. m., from June 1st to September 1st, and right here let me say that this is very kind in "our" employers, and I believe they granted this in order that their sales? men might get a little rest and recreation. But it seems as though some of our lady friends haye no compassion on the poor, tirod clerks. You can see almost any afternoon about G p. m. these good ladies who forget that a clerk gets tired, and who seem to think that the clerks have nothing to do but to show them goods just to hear them say : "Well, I was just looking. I do not know what I want. In fact, I have not made up my mind what I do want, but thought I would 'just' look." Now, Mr. Editor, I sympathize with these creatures. The fact of the business is that they are telling the truth when they say, "I do not know what I want," but I pity them. A woman who has not enough judgment and decis? ion to select any article she may desire is, in my judgment, a very weak creature, indeed, and needs a guardian. I trust our good ladies will consider this and give the poor clerk bis little rest that has been grantod him by his employer. Observer. Belton Items. A young Grover Cleveland put in his appearance at Rev. J. T. Smith's on Wed? nesday, the 23rd of Juno. A number of people aro attending Court in Anderson City this week. Our young people seem to realize a great deal oi pleasure from the game of lawn tennis. The political pot around Belton seems to be simmering down. Some of the people of our town are sometimes greatly annoyed by a colored man who occasionally has crazy spells* He was so annoying last Sunday that our marshal had to put him in the guard house and keep him till Monday. Steps should be taken either to send him to the asylum or to take care of him at the County Poor House. He seems to be harmless now, but there is no telling when he may become dangerous. A number of the Belton young folks took in the picnic at Cooiey's Bridge. The exercises of the Belton High School will be resumed on Monday, the fifth of September, under tbe direction of Rev, J. T. Smith, who has been Principal of tbo school for the last two years. Rev. J. T. Smith, the Principal of the Belton High School, was very sorry he could not attend the teachers' instituto in Anderson last week. Let somebody suggest the best, most possible, and most equitable method of getting up tho money to build a first-class schoolhouse for Belton and community.
