When Gov. Tillman paid his hotel bill
here, or when it wau paid for him, he paid
at the same rates any other guest would
have paid. When be paid for a public re?
ception in the hotel he paid only what any
otner gnest would have paid under tbe
circumstances Gov.. Tillman knows
enough of hotel management to know thit
suob, receptions are charged for and that
his bill here was a very light one. He
knows that men sometimes pay several
hundred dollars lbr publio receptions.
Even granting that tbe charge was a "most
outrageous piece of extortion," it wa? a
private matter solely between Manager
White and Governor Tillman, and the
Governor received the same treatment any
other guest would have received'. 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?s of the deposits have been withdrawn,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.

A Letter from Mr, Cleveland.
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.]

Beply to "Son of Toll."
Mit. 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.

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.

At the regular meeting of the "Woman's
Mi?sion Society of Cross Roads (Baptist)

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

submission to the will of our Heavenly
Father, knowing that "He doeth all things

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.

Excursion to Tallulah Falls and Re?
turn :
FRIDAY, AUGUST 2?, 1892.
Having been solicited by many persons
who went to the Falls last month to re?
peat the excursion, I have determined to
do bo, and have arranged with the Rail?
road Company to run the Train on the
above date. Let me ask of all who intend
to take this delightful trip to purchase
their tickets on or before the 24th. I make
this request in order that I may provide
for the comfort of all, and give everybody
a seat. You run no risk in so doing, for
if you are Bick or providentially kept at
home your money will he refunded.
Tickets can be prooured of the persons
who sold them before. Let me Bay, also,
that I want to make this trip as pleasant,
in every particular, as the last one, and
therefore only solicit the patronage of
those who can, and will, conduct them?
selves in a proper manner. If you cannot
behave yourself decently please remain at
home. Train will leave Hodges at 5.30
a. m.f Belton 0.30, and Anderson at 7.00
o'clock. Price from Anderson end pointB
above ?1,50 for round trip.

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.

? 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.

A Safe Remedy.
When a person is 6ick they wish more
than aught else a restoration of health.
Thoy aro willing to tako even nauseous
medicine in order ? to get well. With
many, however, a first consideration is
whether tho medicino is perfectly safe.
Will it or will it not leavo any evil after?
effects ? Now, there ia ono remedy known
to be perfectly safe. It is a botanical
discovery, and it is called Botanic Blood
Balm, or B. B. B. It will not harm the
most delicate constitution, nor will a dis?
continuance causo a craving for its fur?
ther use. It is a suro antidoto for poison
in tho blood. The blood becomes poison?
ed in various ways. Constipation, uri?
nary difficulties and other causes of ef?
fete matter remaining in the system will
causo blood impurity, or blood poison, as
many call it. Symptoms of blood poison
should not bo neglected. B. B. B. should
bo taken at once. It will euro promptly,
and ia not bad to take, nor will it leavo
any evil after-effects.
J. D. Watkins, Blakely, Ga., writes:
"Old sores covered my entire person and
itched intensely night and day. For sev?
eral months I could not work at all. I
commenced tho uso of Botonic Blood
Bulm and began to grow better the first
week, aud am now sound and well, free
from Bores aud itching and at work
again." 1
