On the 8th of last June she was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Mr. Britt, and left tbe paternal roof with the prospect of a long and happy life.

Your correspondent is, with many oth? ers, under many obligations to Mr. J. T. Rice and his charming daughters for a Splendid treat of watermelons not many ays ago. The young people of Belton met at the residence of Mrs. M. E. Geeron Monday night and report a very pleasant evening. Prof. J. T. Smith has just closed a pro? tracted meeting at Neal's Creek, which, we arc informed, was productive of much good. Maj. B. D. Dean has just returned from Atlanta, Ga. He has been there for some time with the son of Mr. J. H. Breszeale for. the purpose of having Dr. Calhoun treat tbe eyes of little Mr. Breazeaie. We are glad to report his eyes very much im? proved. We are obliged to confeus that the editor of the Advocate was more easily caught than we supposed at first. The point we were especially driving at was that tbe Advocate would more readily publish an ar? ticle assailing the Democratic- party and advising people not to vote for Grover Cleveland, than to publish an artiole set? ting forth undisputed Democratic princi? ples. We would like to know which of two articles is most Democratic: Hamp? ton's letter to the State, or "A wail from tbe Northwest?" and which would have tended to increase the Advocate's reputa? tion for Democracy most ? In the one we have a grand old man, a true and tried Democrat, a man whose time, talent, and we might add money, has been held at the service of the State in war and in peace, defending himself agaimit tbe unjust as? saults of a demagogue. In the other we have a demagogue, a man away up in the Northwest, assailing a true and tried Democratic leader, the only Democratic President since the war, the only man who has had enough compassion on the South to look down and see what is good for us. The letter of Wade Hampton would occupy space and would "turn the guns" of the Advocate on B. R. Tillman. No, the Advocate can't publish that. But the "Wail from the Northwest" "turns tbe guns" in tbe right direction I suppose. It "turns the guns" on Grover Cleveland, the great Democratic leader. "Yes," sayB the Advocate, "we publish this and it is so good we don't think it necessary to com? ment." When the Advocate failed" to pub? lish Hampton's letter, we supposed that probably it didn't wont to publish any? thing setting forth principles with which it didn't agree, but then we thought surely ii didn't mean to endorse a "Wail from the Northwest," but it has acknowledged that they publish only su.ch articles as "turn the guns" in the right direction. So we are obliged now to infer that the Ad? vocate endorses these Third Party articles. We have got no desire to set into a con? troversy, and now give the Advocate the floor and hope it may succeed in clearing away this Third Party taint. Let us all say three cheers for Sheppard and Oi r, "peace and unity and another op? portunity" to lift the State credit out of the mire and again place South Carolina on the high path she has been occupying for fourteen years previous to 1890. _ "SUBSTITTTE.''

We are needing rain very badly i? this1 sectio d. A number of our farmers are sowing their turnip seed this week. Mr. S. G. Bryant, President of the Mountain SpringB Debating SociHty, sends in his subscription for the Intelligen? cer today. By looking over the People's Advocate of July the 25th 1 found that "Don Lino," the little fellow that used to carry the Bruno budget was convalescent. You re? collect that Don had the swell head very bad about a month ago. He has not got over it yet, at least he is not able to carry' his budget as he usually did. However be makes out to sit up and chat a little. His chat which appeared Jn the People's Advocate last week reads as follows: "Well, Mr. Editor, it has been three weeks or more since I put in my appear? ance from the fact that I have been help? ing Messrs. Duckworth and Smith thresh out the rotten grain, and must say that I was greatly astonished on returning home and looking over the Intelligencer of June 30th to find that there bad been a ?blow up' at Newell, S. C. Now, it ap? pears that this blow up was caused from a few remarks that I had made through the Advocate about a little one sided soap boiler known as 'Ned Needle,' and I wish to say right bore, Mr. Editor, that I have no apology to make for the remarks that I have made, but as I am entangled with thin soap boiler I now propose to make a few more. New, Ned, you seem to think that my political bowels are in a bad con - dion, and advises me to take three 'Alli? ance Liver Pills,' rub occasionally with {politicians' quick relief, tighten up at east twice a week with a brain box screw driver, and be sure to keep myself free from exposure until my bead resumes its natural shape. I think if my daddy could run a little one-horse store and X had nothing to do but stay in It and sleep night and day as you do that would help me more than any of the remedies you have prescribed. You also seem to think, Ned, that it is me instead of you that has the swell-head. Well, perhaps It is. Well, I knew there was something wrong with you, I guess you have got atroph of the brain, that is if you have any atrophy. You then go on to bay that this is a free country and that you have the right to hurrah for whom you please. Remember, Ned, I am not trying to stop you from howling for Sheppard; that is a right that you can't be deprived of. I only made the remark that I did, because I hate to see a little fellow like you strain your lungs and burst your sides hurrahing for a bank president who has no more feeling for the poor class of people, such as your daddy and mine, than a negro has for an alligator. Now, Ned, I will close for this time, and if > you conclude to answer this don't get a new hand at the bellows." Well, Don, you say that you have been helping thresh out the rotten grain, and as you was so greatly astonished on re? turning home to hear of a blow up at Newell, S. C, it is likely that you are now out of a job. I am glad to say that you have been misinformed. There has been no blow up at Newell, the soap works are in full blast, and the company informs me that they can fill all cash orders promptly, but say that they cannot under no cir? cumstances give you a job, as they have all the ingredients used in manufacturing soap chawed up by machinery. Don, you need not get scared about your brains wasting away. If you will use the brain box screw driver as I have told you, I will assure you that you will not lose any of them. The idea you have of wanting to sleep all the time won't do at all, Don. The weather is too hot, and your neigh? bors might gather in and bury you. I had rather strain my lungs hurrahing for a bank president, who is a Christian man, than to even whisper hurrah for Tillman, a man that has no more feeling for the poor class of people, such as your daddy and mine, than an alligator has for a ne? gro, no feeling at all only to chaw them up with a property qualification and a theee dollar poll tax. Don, I will tell you wbat I think. I think that if your daddy and mine, and all the rest of the poor peo? ple, should have little enough sense to vote for B. R. Tillman and re-elect him Governor of South Carolina the time for a poor man to vote in this State would bo out before we got old enough to be recog? nized at the polls, and I think that if you will look at It right you will ibirfk like I think. I think that B. R. Tillman is not the man for Governor of South Carolina. Don, if your head gets so that you cannot blow you can get a new baod at the bel? lows If you want to. I don't think that I shall need the band nor the bellows either, as I don't calculate on doing any blowing myself. You may rest assured though that I will continue to write up the Newell newB and burrah for Sheppard and Orr when I get ready. Ned Needle. Townville Locals. Mr. B. B.

She was a woman of great sweetness of temper and Christian devo? tion. She has not been here a year, and yet she endeared herself to a great number of friends. W. M. Htjhteb. ? We are gravely told by those who have deserted the party at this critical hour, says the Atlanta Constitution, that they have ceased to act with it because it has failed to do something which it'had no power to do. This is the argument of | children rather than that of sensible men. If it is to have any weight the people's party might as well be deserted now, for the leaders ofthat party have not accom? plished what they are promising their de? luded followers they will accomplish. Whenever an appeal is made to reason and common sense, the people's party in Georgia and in the South will not have a leg to stand on. Every suggestion of wisdom and prudence is opposed to it, and every consideration touching the po? litical safety of our people cries out against it.
