The program was interspersed with appropri? ate hymns by a select choir of voices. The excursion on Thursday of lust week to Tallulah Falls was in every sense a frand success. Mr. Luther P Smith is to e congratulated ou the way iu which be managed it. There were more than three hundred who took advantage of this very cheap rate to see tbe gran jest sight to be seen in the South. It is so utterly impos? sible to describe tbe grandeur of nature around this place, tbat we will not under? take it, but. we would like to say that, if you have never visited Tallulah Falls go and see them the first good chance, and we venture tbe assertion tbat you will wonder why you have lived so long so near such grand and beautiful scenery without visiting it sooner. It is not sim? ply water running over rooks, but the most beautiful and interesting mountain scenery surrounds the falls, as well as the road for some miles before you get there. And then there are several falls, any one of which is much prettier than the fall at Tocooa, which is grand, but Tallulah is both beautiful and grand. They show the hand of God, and one cannot visit this place without being impressed by the sights to be seen and having higher ideas of life. The citizens or Tallulah said that a nicer, better behaved crowd never vis? ited tbe falls. There was in fact not a single thing in the way of disorder on the whole trip, and the ladies felt safe. It is said another excursion will be run ab >ut the middle of August, and all who can should go Assignment of Delegates To the Saluda Association, to be held with Broadmouth Church, 2nd, 3rd and 4th of August: Anderson.Mrs. EllaHudgens.

I make tbis ex? planation because I don't want your reg? ular correspondent to be charged with writing up the politics of our town, as we all know he does not "mess" with polities. I think this a good opportunity to score the Advocate a little. When Wade Hamp? ton came out in his letter to the State de? fending himself against the attacks of B. R. Tillman, a gentleman of this town wrote tbe editor of tbe Advocate to please publish the letter in full In justice to Wade Hampton. Notwithstanding this request was made about three weeks ago, nothing has been seen of the letter in the! Advocate You remember Hampton asked all papers iu the State which had been circulating these slanders against him, to kindly publish bis letter in defense of his position. The Advocate ignored this de* mar 1 of justice, and then refused to grant the i 'st of a subscriber. This is an open refusa. . 've justice. This is a stoop in journalise. vhich was not to be expected from that paper. We have further com? plaint to make against this same paper. It has taken occasion more than once to assail Col. You mans for being abusive of the Chief Executive of the State. I am informed that a gentleman in this town forwarded a printed copy of Col. You man's speech at Kingstree, and asked that he publish it and allow his readers to judge for themselves whether or not he is abusive. This same gentleman also re? quested that he publish Hampton's letter. Now, the Advocate has refused all these re? quests to publish communications from good Democrats, but it has more than once published Third Party articles ou its first page. We are sorry to notice tbis iu a paper which olalms to be Democratic, and it makes us more sorry when we re? member that some of these Third Party articles were published even without are quest for publication. There was a meeting of the TUlmanites here last Saturday. We are sorry we can't give a full report of the proceedings, but heard that mouth-mashlng and insult was advised by a leading Tillmanite speaker. We are sorry to have tbis re? ported as a fact, but think it can be sub? stantiated. This is not tbe spirit in which Democrats should fight thsir battles against each other, but it should be In a kindly spirit. The man who prophesies an early rain is the favorite prophet around Belton now. The Belton people who were so fortu? nate sb to go to Tallulah on last Thursday are very free and warm In their praise of the orderly manner in which the excur? sion was oondunted, f think each one would like to thank Mr, Smith in person, but your correspondent is authorized to speak for them. Mrs. T. Y. Williams, of Lancaster, 8. 0., is visiting her p.vrents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Poore, Her many friends are glad to know she will stay some time in Belton. Mr. B. E. Geer came up Tuesday after? noon from Darlington to spend a good part of tbe summer with his mother. His genial smiles are indeed pleasant to his many friends of his old home. Our townsman, Mr. A. J. Stringer, has been uuwell for some time, but we are glad to say he is out agaiu. Believe me, gheppard and Orr have the best wishes of a "Subititl te." Municipal Ticket.

Gleu will locate at Elberton, September lBt. lie makes his mark wherever he goes, as any sober, indus? trious, Christian man will do. Rev. L. M. Rice has been visiting and preaching at his old home in Barn well. From his looks, the low country did not agree with him. He says it's too hot. R. G. McLees inado an address Sab? bath in the Presbyterian Church, show? ing tbe necessity of a special evangelist for tho South Carolina Presbytery. A collection was taken up which amount? ed to $37.50. C. j. Brock is now the owner of a nice bycicle. Among the visitors in town we notice Miss Mamie Wilson, of Williaraston, Miss Meriman, of Cokesbury, Miss Fay Hudgens, of Laurens, and Miss Whit? field, of Anderson. Quite a number will attend the Con? servative meeting at Anderson from here to-morrow. We hear of no new arrangements being made among merchants, clerks or farm? ers, as is usually tho case this time of year. The depression in business has a tendency to make all satisfied with pres? ent positions. The weather being very warm, the committee at Broadmouth has decided that the Association folks will need some cooling process, and have rented the Sounds to T. A. Clatworthy and M. A. ay, who will serve refreshments to all that thirst, smoke or chew. An infant child of Mr. and Airs. M. T. Elgir- died very suddenly last Saturday from cholera Infantum. Its remains were interred iu the cemetery here Sab? bath at 11 o'clock. Short services were held at the grave by Rev. j. A. Wil? son. The three Carpenter children, two Phillips children and May Austin, arriv? ed from Clinton last week on a 3 weeks' visit to their mother and relatives. They are inmates ofthat noble institution, the Thornwell Orphanage. We often notice some of their names on the roll of honor and special mention is made of Master I Jimmie as a compositor for Our Monthly, a neat little paper gotten up In the inter? est of the Orphanage. The Methodist meeting continued through last week, closing last right. Rev. W. W. Daniel, by his earnest, ef? fective preaching, has endeared himself to the people of all denominations here. The Broadmouth Church has made all its arrangments for entertaining the Sa luda Association, which convenes on the second day of August. They have adop? ted Mauley's choice for church music, and the Association will have the oppor? tunity of joining ;in the old time gospel hymns and times. Samuel Gambrell, son of Mrs. Evaline Gambrell, is suffering a great deal from white swelling. It Is feared that he will lose the use of his leg. Rev. H. Turner Smith passed through Honea Path last Monday on his way to NealB Creek where he will assist his brother iu a protracted meeting during this Week. Miss Ida Brock is spending a while in Anderson. Miss Ella Kay is filling Miss Ida Brock's place in tbe Ladies' Store. Sam Shirley has the boss sorghum {>atch. It contains 26 rows about 60 yards ong, and is estimated by Mr. McGee to make 100 gallons syrup. Much dissatisfaction arose at the Dem? ocratic Club meeting here Saturday even? ing. It was con fined to the "Tillmanites," as no antl-Tillman men were there. Bro. L. M. Wilson, who presided, says that he was at his "rows' end," when the house became suddenly vacated. Using another's language, "It's funny." Whooping cough has about subsided. We will wind up like we started out, "It's hot." T. Needle's Newell Items. It is indeed quite amusing to think of the political wire pulling that is now be? ing so heavily indulged in by not a few. ,Tohn Bidwell, the Prohibition candidate for President, and James B. Weaver, tbe Peoples' Party candidate for President, may both be good men, but I don't be? lieve that either oue of them has any more idea of being elected President of the United States than they do of flying, though they will, I expect, if Harrison is re-elected, get good pay for makiag the run, and I thought I heard somebody say tbat Harrison would certainly be re elected if they could just get the good people to dance to Prohibition and Peo? ples' Party music, but getting tho ma? jority of the people to dance to this kind of music is going to. puzzle them. They'll have to get Instruments that sound louder than Bidwell and Weaver. Yes, they will have to get instruments that shine if they even get the Southern grasshopper to dance. Bidwell and Weaver. Why, they wonld have to pipe and sing from now till doomsday before they cou.'.d get a move on anything. If I recollect right the side show candidates' for President in 1888 were Neal Dow and James B. Wea? ver. Dow was blowing a Prohibition horn and James B. Weaver, who is now tbe Peoples' Party candidate for President, was playing as hard as he could crack it ou a Green backer's harp. Then iu 1884 the Prohibitionists put forth John P. St. John and the Greenbackers Benjamin F. Butler. St. John and Butler blowed and piped lllce the mischief, but they didn't get a single vote in South Carolina, Blaine, St. John and Butler. Grover Cleveland beat them all and made the best President tbe United States ever had. Cleveland beat three of them once and he can do it again. Benjamin Harrison, John Bidwell and James B. Weaver. Why, Cleveland will beat those three lit? tle fellows so bad that they will uever think about running again as long as their names are Harrison,Bid well and Weaver. Hurrah for Cleveland and Democracy! Prohibition don't have no effect at all on on our people. They can soe into it, and have found out that it is nothing else iu the world but an entering wedge to burst tbe rack of freedom into atoms. If we give away what freedom we have got and give a reckless set of people power to tell us what we shall drink, by and by they will be telling us what we shall eat, and then It won't be Ions until they will say whom we shall worship. Prohibition won't do at all, and the people have not found it out a bit too soon. Those that want to be slaves or servants and Lavn't got the brass about them to vote straight out for Harrison will vote for Bidwell or Beaver one. Will B. R. Tillman be South Carolina's next Governor? Don't hardly think he will. Think John C. Sheppard will be the next Governor. Well, Mr Editor, we are about all done laying by our orops. We have had sever? al days of sunshine, which was a great help to us in demolishing that gra&a that I told you about last week. This hot weather has caused cotton to stretch up right sharply; probably it may make a full crop yet. Prof. D. Edward Kiug resumed his sohool at Mountain Springs on Monday last. The watermelon crop came very near being a failure iu this section. Our patch is not doing any good at all, Candidates, candidates, I never heard of as many candidates iu all my life. I'll bet a nicket that they don't all get elect? ed. Ned Needle* Denver News. Mr. Editor, how is crops in the County 7 They are growing fast around here. Peas planted after wheat and oats were cut are looking fine now. Watermelons and peaches are ready to eat. A orowd of us went on tbe excursion the 21st inst., to Tallulah Falls. It is a grand place to live in summer time, and we enjoyed ourselves very muob. There was a pic nie at Fort Hill on Sat? urday, 23rd, and some of the young peo file from around here went, and they said hey eDjoyed it very much, A part of the crowd, with Mr. M. R. as leader, got loat. They said that Mr, M, R. thought he knew all about the place, and he was the cause of the rest getting lost, but they all got right aller they went back to Fort Hill. Politics are steady now. I am mighty sorry they have got into our Church. A Church can't have a meeting but what some blower gets up and says they oau't have meeting that day as there is going to be a big political meeting somewhere on that day. I think a Church could have a protracted meeting, and those who would rather go to the political meeting than to Churoh, could go to their pow wow, as anybody who would object on that ground are not fit to go to Church. _DOLLfE, Declines Messrs. Editors : I beg to Inform my frionds that I am not iu tho raco for ono of the Aldermen of tho city. Respectfully, J, L. Tribblb. t-"-?:?:-: rwfWta ii(hui. Friend "Zick," of Crayton, in his at? tempt to correct oar communication of the iSHh ult., lost his footing and got into deep water. First, he didn't seem to have enough politics in his make up (o know whether be was proud of his TiUmanites or not. Next he misrepresents us by Bay? ing we were proud of the fact that our community was divided. His visual or? gans must be very deficient, or his mem? ory very poor, for our article plainly said that we were glad our section was not solid for tho "bamboozler," which does not Imply that we are glad of our division, but that we are proud of our Sbeppard friends, and intend working faithfully for the Conservative ticket. We suspect the TiUmanites all wish the antie3 would keep quiet "at such a time as this," but that is not our politics, and if good, man to man work will accomplish anythinjp be? tween this and the August primary, we intend sending Tillman and his ucoat tail" to the roar, where they well deserve to stay. As to the twenty-one conference, our friend seems to be very poorly in? formed. If that convention of sober minded and Conservative men ever did anything but coolly and impassionately discuss the issues of the day we never heard of it, nor did we see it in the pub? lishment of the same. And if Tillman bas ever aspired to anything higher than bossism and self aggrandizement, we would be pleased to be so informed. Mr. J- A. Mattison opened his school at Eureka Monday morning. We had the pleasure a few days back of passing by the County Poor Honse, which, we are glad to stay, is a well-ordered and neatly kept institution. Mr. Perry King, the manager of the same, seems to be the right man in the right place. The broad expanse of well cultivated fields by which it is surrounded speaks in high terms of Mr. King's management of the farm. The Misses Lewis, of the Midway com? munity, accompanied by Mr. W. Q,. Ham? mond and wife, honored our Sunday School with their presence last third Sun? day evening. We highly appreciated their visit, and would be pleased very much to see them again soon. Misses Retta Breazeale and Rosa Oreen, of Belton, are visiting Miss Lena Camp? bell this week. Mr. C. B. McCown paid a flying vUit In this section last week. The Sunday School Institute is a thing of the past, the memories of which will ever be fondly cherished by visitors and delegates who were the recipients of so many kindnesses from the people of An? derson. We have often heard it said that the town and country can not mix agree? ably in a social or religious gathering, but never was tbe falseness of such assertions more beautifully demonstrated than it was at the recent Institute. To Mr. Lu? ther Smith is due tbe thanks of tbe dele? gates for his untiring efforts towards making their stay a pleasant one. Before the appearance of candidate Till? man on the political arena of South Caro? lina things were quiet and serene. Coun? try and towns supported tbe Democratic nominee with tbe same patriotic devotion, but ainco the debut of that sower of dis? sension and discord, the State bas been stirred up from center to circumference. The poor and ignorant have been aroused and led to believe that they are burdened and oppressed by the corporations that really are their best friends. Tbe preju? dice of the country bas been excited against the towns to an extent that is hurtful to both. Not only communities but families have been divided by that boastful reformer who does not reform. Brother is pitted against brother, neighbor against neighbor, and the country against the towns; and to B. R. Tillman is due tbe credit for this state of affairs. It may be that the State will rise up from her present state of political depreciation strengthened by tbe ordeal through which she bas passed, but however that may be, no credit will be due Tillman for the way ii bas been brought about. * Barnes Items. School opened at this place on tbe LSth iust. ? Able sermons were preached here last Saturday and Sunday by Rev. Baxter Hayes. Mr. A. V. Barnes, of Charleston, Mr. and Mrs. W. O. McKinney, of Bowere ville, 6a., Mr. D. J. Banister and wife, from Eureka, and Claud Dickson, of An? derson, are visiting at this place. Mr. Morgan has moved his saw mill to Latimer. The man is yet to find who will kill more squirrels in one day than Jeff. Bow? man. He says he killed twenty five last Friday, and that luck was against hi tu, too. Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Taylor, of Piokens, and O. W. Seigler, of Holland's Store, made a flying trip to this place last week. Mr. S. A. Morgan complains that some? body is carrying off his finest melons. Better keep an eye on your papa, Spur geon, the melons may be going tbe way the sugar went. Tbe growing crops of this section are looking fine, but we think would do better with a good rain. Some of tbe farmers are done work, others are quitting, and a few of them say they will fight on until frost relieves them. A gentleman at Cooks last Wednesday seemed very anxious to know if tbe un? dersigned was tbere. Yes, old boy, we were there, and couldn't help noticing how badly you was disappointed beoause your Antreville girl was not there. At this writing tbe good people are en? gaged in cleaning off the Church and graveyard at this place. Perhaps we are mistaken, but it is our opinion, that some of our girls have played their last trump and lost, or else they have decided that our boys are not worth tbe trouble of catching. Recently we beard two of them declare'their inten? tion of keeping bachelor's ball next year. Grubbs thinks he will b? in clover, as they will be his nearest neighbors. One of our girls says she bas been suf? fering with palpitation of the heart ever since the Reunion at Cook's, A young man at Alice is tbe cause. By way of conclusion will Just say that I will not write any more, and will be glad to bear from some one else. Eves and Ears.

We return many thanks to friends for their timely assistance in the last illness of our dear mother and grandmother, May God bestow bis greatest blessing on i each and every oue of you, is our most sincere wish. Respectfully, D. E. Carlisle and Family, Mr. YVwdJaW VVilii?rawfli Messrs. Editor: I notice my name has been placed among the nominees for Al? dermen of the City. 1 thank who ever did this, but feel forced to decline. My reasons are these: I am not willing to un? dertake any work that would in any way interfere with my duties as School Com? missioner. Being a candidate for re-elec? tion, and hoping to be re-elected, I wish in the future, as I have in the past, to give my entire time to the work of build? ing np our schools. If a School Commis? sioner does his duty as he ought to do he will have no time for any other work. Consequently being determined, if re elected, to devote my time and energy ex? clusively to the duties of the office of School Commissioner, I moBt respectfully withdraw my name from among the nom? inations for Alderman. Respectfully, C. Wabdlaw. A 8 bury Locals. Mr. Editor, we haven't troubled you very much in this part of our section, and we only ask for a short space. The protracted meeting will begin here next Monday night. We trust that all may come seeking the Lord and much good may be done during the meeting. We are glad to hear that Master Lee is back at home. We know bis parents were in trouble about bim. I don't think he will runaway again soon. I think the boys of this section will have to boy buggies, as the girls say they don't like to ride in carts. I doubt some of them riding in the buggy unless they get a new boy, too. The farmers are about done laying by. I guess they are glad. * Glut Rines Snrvlvors* Association.

Died, after a long and painful illness on the morning of the 15th inst., John C. Simmons, at the age of 23 years. His sufferings were of the most painful na? ture, the disease being an affection of the bowels, inflammatory and so malignant from the start as to bafljo the skill of the best medical resource available, and if it had not been for his strength and endu? rance he could not have lived as long as he did, not being able for three weeks to take food at all. John came with his pa? rents to this place in 1887, and har. grown to fnll manhood, with much promise. He was respected by the people, and would have done much good for himself and county could he have lived. He was at home and in the midst of many friends, and bore his long and painful suffering without complaint. AU wan done that loving hearts and kind hands could do to relieve him, but it was beyond humau fiower to cure, and the strong man died n the morning of life. His friends had to give him up. J. S. Simmons. White Mound, Texas, July 18. ? A watch for tho blind is among the newest inventions. A small peg is set in the middle of each figure.
