Mr. Latimer was indulging in the daring equestrian feat of riding two horses when last heard from in f>rint. He called his nags the "Democrat c-Ocala Demands." He said something, too, about a tidal wave sweeping tbe coun? try in case the Democratic party didn't do certain things.

Tillman knows enough of hotel management to know thit suob, receptions are charged for and that his bill here was a very light one.

S Greenville News, 16tn: "Capt. E. A. Smyth, of tbe Pelzer manufacturing com? pany, while discussing tbe Snipes matter yesterday, made, incidentally, a uigoifi cant statement. He said the operatives at Polzer had deposited in the savings bank there $32,900. On this tbey were paid 4 Kr cent, interest. Eleven thousand dol ?s of the deposits have been withdrawn, however, much of it being loaned by the operatives to farmers at from 8 to 10 per cent. In other words, tbe laborers have become capitalist* Men, and women, too, are putting out tbe money they have worked for and honestly earned to earn them more and to accumulate t>o as to make their'old age honorable'and easy. That Is a beautiful thing to think of. May Heaven help as to the time when every laborer In South Carolina will have a lit? tle store of his or her own to fall back upon and secure comfort with against the com? ing of hard times or infirmities." ' Our Belton correspondent requests us to insert the followlog in pur local columns: "Mr. J. J. Kelly, who lives near Belton, requests your correspondent to correct a fals'3 rumor which seems to be very much circulated by someone. Mr. Kelly had been building and bad some men employ? ed, who happened to be followers of Till? man. On the Tuesday after the meeting at Williamston and Cedar Grove bis lum? ber gave out. He had to leave homo that morning and go to his saw mill and just left word with his wife that as lumber was out he wouldeut need them for awhile. From so small a beginning as this, the ru? mor started that Mr. Kelly had discharged some men because they were Tillmanites, and bad said he would never emply anoth? er Tillmanite. Mr. Kelly wishes this to have an emphatic denial. He is very much hurt that such a report should be circulated against him. Your correspondent has known Mr. Kelly for a long time and can readily testify of his worth as a mm and of the high degree of success as a farmer which has attended his efforts. Before difference in political opinions came to be considered akin to personal enmity no man was mere highly esteemed by the very men who are probably circulating this re? port. Mr. Kelly has, in a very practical way, befriended some of the men who weie working for him, and he doesn't want to believe that they are circulating such a ' false report, but on the other hand thinks they would deny the charge." The Firemen Parade. The seventh annual parade of the An? derson Fire Department took place Tues? day evening and was witnessed by a large number of spectators. The firemen appeared in new uniforms, which had been tastefully selected, and they were as handsome and sturdy a set of fellows as ever passed inspection. The reels had been gayly decorated with flowers, and came in for a full share of notice and compliment The rains of the day had settled tbe dust well and had not made the roads muddy, so that it was a prime day for in? spection. The line of march was formed on North Main street in the following order: Mounted police. Ex-Chiefs Divver and Hill and Surgeon Todd and Secretary Baker, mounted. Then came the car? riages, the first containing Mayor Tolly and ex-Mayor Maxwell, the next Alder? man Brownlee and City Clerk Hood, and the next Aldermen Duckett.and Brown and City Attorney Prince. The Chief of the Department, Geo. M. Tolly, mounted, came next, and ho waa followed by the Independent Hook and Ladder men, in charge of Chief Pearson, First Assistant Chief Murphy, Second Assistant Chief j Bleckley and Secretary and Treasurer Todd. The Pioneers came next, and their officers are President Payne, Vice President Haynie, Secretary Bolt and Direotors White ancLSmith. The colored band came next, Captain E. B. Church well, Assistant John Harris. Then came the Rough and Ready men, President Johnson, Vice-President Williams, Sec? retary Butler and Treasurer Peyton in charge. The procession marched down Main street, through River street to McDufne, *nd then back to Main street, where the ij lection took place. j.oe Mayor and Aldermen and other officers reviewed tbe companies and pub? licly and privately expressed satisfaction at the evident efficiency and discipline of the Department. Mayor Tolly, ex-Mayor Maxwell and ex-Chief Diwer were called for and ad? dressed a few pleasant words to the fire? men. After the inspection the companies gave some fine exhibitions of their skin in running and throwing water, and wero loudlycheered. The evening passed without serious ac? cident to life or limb, though the Hook and Ladder truck and a wagon came into collision as the boys were preparing to put the truck away. Awheel was broken off the wagon and an axle of the truck was injured. Some of the boys wero bruised painfully in the collision. The Anderson firemen servo without pay or hope of reward. As patriotic oiti zens they freely give their services to tha city. The Department is an invaluable institution to the city, and in time of con? flagration the city looks to them for pro? tection, and never yet have they failed to do their full duty when a crisis came. Noble boys they are, and they have won the highest respect and admiration of every citizen. The band never tired of playing, and enlivened tho exercises with capital music. % Some foot-racing took place after the inspection was completed. Messrs. King ana Trammell, the 225 pounders, ran against each other, and the small boys went wild with excitement. FOR SALE?Two half Jersey Milk Cows. For further information apply to C. Harris at 0, F.

Below will be found a letter from Hon. Grover Cleveland written a few days ago to a gentleman li?ing in this County: Gray Gables, Buzzard Bay, Mass-, August 1,1892. -My Dear Sir: Your letter of July 28 is received. My mother's maiden was Miss Ann Neal. She was born and bronght up in Baltimore, Mary? land. We are distantly related to the Hydes, who, I believe, originated in Nor? wich, Connecticut, or thereabouts, on my father's side, but I am unable to give the exact relationship, and where in our gene? alogy It occurs. Very truly yours, Gbover Cleveland. [The father of the late Rev. E. F. Hyde, of this County, was from the State of Connecticut, and it is more than likely that his children are related to the distin? guished gentleman and statesman, Grover Cleveland.?Eds.] ^ST* Big lot of Coal in stook and com? ing, Alabama Coal, delivered at your house, $4.25 per Ton.

Editor: In looking over tbe Peoples'1 Advocate of theSth inat., I saw an articlo signed, "Son of Toil," in which he replies (?) to "Didaskalos." Now, al? though I may be a little pale, but not feeling in tho least "Jakov," I shall try to answer a few things "Soil of Toil" said in his reply. Ho first claims that ho thought he had been trying to give the reudera of the Peoples' Advocate all tho news of his section, and Holland's Storo section, too. That's all right?he is periectly honost in his belief. But whon he says the articlo signed by "Didaskalos" was news to him, I think ho admits that he hasn't given all tho news, for if he had tho article by "Di? daskalos" wouldn't have been nows at all. Again he says: "I believe that I have said in somo of my articles that tho West Savannah Club wub solid for tho Farmers' Movement, and so it was until this imported 'Pale Jake' drifted in." Mr. Editor, when I wrote tho arti? cle of tho 13th inst., I had no referonco to tho Western Savannah Club, and never had met with them, and didn't know how they stood. As to being im? ported, I think "Son of Toil" ought to look up the meaning of the word. Web Bter, the greatest authority in America, says the word import means "to bring from a foreign country or jurisdiction, or from another State, into oho's own coun? try, jurisdiction or State." Since I was born and raised in Anderson County, I don't think the word "imported" applies to me in the way "Son of Toil" applies it. He further said that he reckoned that I thought I only had to write a few anti-ar? ticles, and breecbes-pocketitems. etc., and the Western Savannah Club will be count? ed for the "ram ticket." Now, I desire to say I never had any such thoughts, but I did and still think that this is a free country and a free press, and that a man had a right to exercise this freedom with? out asking anyone, which I shall contin? ue to do. Again he says I am a stray sheep, drift? ed into this neighborhood as a teacher. That's a strange statement. Ididn'tknow I belonged to anyone, although "Son of Toil" seems to think I do, because if I didn't belong to some one, bow could I stray off? As for being a teacher, I said I was in tbe Club, and I say so again; but I emphatically deny being against my patrons. As a teacher I knew no man in the discharge of my duty. He says I publicly insulted them by saying things in my items that I could not substantiate, and when asked to tell who assured me I was non-committal. The gentleman whom I heard shout for Tillman was not at the Club, and I didn't wish to use Ids name behind his back. I shall not give his name at present, as he and I are good friends. He now goes on to state what he calls facts, which are utterly without founda? tion. He says: "Now, here are the facts in the case, ?s they were told to me by his neighbors: Mr. 'Didaskalos' was try? ing to make a school for himself, and went to some one who had some boys who didn't want to go to school to him, and the father of the boys said to the im? ported teacher, 'If you can get my boys to agree to go to you I will send them.' The Sheppardite, of course, went to the boys and asked them tbe reason why they didn't want to come to school to him, and the boys said 'You are too lazy for a teacher,' and he began to talk to them again, and the boys looked at him and said 'Hurrah for Tillman.' " The above he states for facts, and as he states them on other peoples' authority, I kindly ask "Son of, Toil" to name the man who stated such' facts! For my own part I'll say such conver? sation has never occurred between any of my patrons and myself. Neither did I go to any of their boys and ask them the reason they didn't want to come to school to me. I've got a little more sense than that. Again he says: "Now, Mr. Editor, if tho imported 'Pale Jake' will continue to write his three-dollar poll tax items we want him to understand that we don't want any more slurs cast at this Tillman club, directly or directly." Indeed I I didn't think I had cast any slurs at the Club, but if saying what I think is right is a slur I can't help it. And now, Mr. "Son of Toil," if you think you've hit a man that's too lazy or too ignorant to write replies, you are la? boring under a great mistake. At the same time I hope that we can carry on this controversy in a good humor. You have a right to your opinion, and I have the same right to mine, and I shall contin? ue to write up the Holland's Store Items when I get ready. Didaskalos. Cherokee Bnbbllugs. After an absence of cousiderable dura? tion, we rise to Bay hurrah for the cham? pions,?Sheppard and Orr. * Cro d:i are middling, tbank you. Cotton is fast" divesting itself of fruit, owing to the continued drouth. Corn would be better, but like Tillman it is fireing up. It would be vain in us to attempt to pay a tribute to tbe beauty of tbe many amia? ble young ladies wbo have been visiting in Cherokee since our last writing, but we cannot refrain from making' special mention of Miss Delia Chandler, a very amiable young lady of "Skilletville," Greenville County, who has been visiting the family of Mr. J. R. Haynie; and since her return one of our young men says that all the pain that he is capable .of enduring seems to be centered in the western part of bis body. He calls it "grippe" but we call it heartache. Col. Wm. R. Haynie spent a short while in our midst recently, visiting his parents. Judging by appearance "Pos? sum-Kingdom" seems to agree with him. Our old friend and "chum," Gen. David Sanford "Vandiver, of your "burg," paid a flying visit to "ye scribe" a few dayB ago. Dave is always welcome. We hope, though, next time that he will shave his mustache ere he comes, and probably we will have less trouble in recognizing him as being "Dave" of old, and not School Commissioner Wardlaw, as he now ap? pears. Justice Kay hooked bis first couple a few days ago. They say the Squire's cere? mony is short and sweet, ana bis fee is only a plug of "Old Tray. J. Mack King bad tbe misfortune to lose a valuable mule some days ago. We have often beard of match-making by "proxy," but don't remember to have read or heard of the animal creation becom? ing accessories, until last Monday. Our bacherlor friend, Jess, was wend? ing his way gently toward church with bis best girl. Upon reaching the road that led in a homeward direction, his mule cut for home at full tilt. It was our pleasant privilege to help rigbten the runa? way mule, but we can see the smile of triumph on his face ever since. The mule had broken the ice. Oh! for such a mule. Miss Attie Major, of the Honea Path section, is visiting her mother's family this week. G. Wash Taylor is still holding the fort in Mack King's woods, and is turning out fine lumber. He says that he is still at home?no old maids and widows. Babbles. Tribute of Respect. At the regular meeting of the "Woman's Mi?sion Society of Cross Roads (Baptist) Church," the following resolution was unanimously adopted: Whereas, it has pleased God to remove from our midst our beloved sisters, Mrs. Lucy Dean, and her daughter, Miss Rosa Dean, who were among our most zealous and useful members ; be it Resolved, That while we bow in humble submission to the will of our Heavenly Father, knowing that "He doeth all things well," we feel that we have suffered an ir? reparable loss, and can only trust in God to raise up others to fill their places, and take up their work from which they have been removed. Resolved, That our warmest Christian sympathy and condolence is hereby ten? dered the bereaved family and friends of tbe deceased. Resolved, That a blank page in our min? utes be dedicated to their memory, and that a copy of these lesolutions be sent to the family of the deceased and to the An? derson Intelligencer and the Peoples' Advocate for publication. Miss Bettie Earle, Mrs. Lou Dean, Mrs. Bessie Allen. Excursion to Tallulah Falls and Re? turn : FRIDAY, AUGUST 2?, 1892.

Shlloh Whlffe. Mr. Editor : As "Killdee" has retired from the areua of journalism I will try to give you some dots, as to what we are doing around here. Now, "Killdee," don't get mad and think, I am trying to take your sugar from you. What I want to do is this?give the news correctly and take the girls' side. You seem to think the girls want to marry real bad and the boys won't have them, but such is not tbe case. I guess if anybody wants to marry it is you, but no girl around here will have you, so you had just as well stay in your den in that great big Saluda swamp. You seem to thins: a certain young man is very shy around in these parts. You dou't know it right. He holds a better baud right now than you do, and If you don't believe it ask any young lady around here. I heard one of the handsomest young ladies say tbe other day that young man who you have been calling shy is three times better looking than you are, and he has more brains in his head than you have grass in your cotton crop, for I am informed that it is a grass crop altogether?that you can't find a half dozen cotton stalks on your whole place?aud as foi corn, if you have any, you will have to borrow from out of some one's field. Well, brother K., the girls will forgive you if you will come down and let us geta good look at you, and see what you are like. Some of tbe boys say you are like a terra? pin?carry your house on. your back. Now, brother K., next time you write the news don't send that little boy but come yourself, I don't think there is very.much danger of you getting kicked when that little boy got kicked. I felt so sorry for him that I wept tears of joy. The protracted meeting at this place has closed, and much good was accomplished and several souls were brought to Christ, and 'ete this year closes may a great many more be saved, for traly the Lord has wonderfully blessed us, and we ought to be thankful and serve him better in tbe future tban we have in the past. Mr. Majors, our efficient and accomplish? ed teacher, is teaching tbe young idea how to shoot. We bespeak for him a liberal patronage. We are needing rain very badly now. If anybody wants to know tbe biggest joke of the season get John Parris to spin that yarn on his future father-in-law. Mr. Editor, some of the boys are giving their political opinions and are hollering for Sheppard and Tillman, but I cannot holler very loud, but I can write hurrah for Sheppard just as big as any man. _ _ LUCILB. ? The biggest man in Canada is Leo? nard Whitton,' of Brighton, who tips the scales at 469 pounds. Mr. Whitton is yet under forty years of age. He measures seventy-four inches around the hips and his head measurement is twenty-three inches. ? It is said that in search for the body of a boy, drowned near Springfield, Til., lately, the searchers tied up a loaf of rye bread in the lost boy's shirt, and sent it adrift in the water above the place where the boy was drowned, the theory being that the loaf would float until in the near vicinity of the body. The package was placed in the stream and floated nntil it reached a certain point, when it began circling round and then suddenly sank. It is claimed that the body was found within a few feet of the spot. ? ? m LEK03T ELIXIR. Its Wonderful Effects on the [Liver, stom? ach, Bowels and Kidneys.
