The forged affidavit purported to be] ; made by W. L. Snipes before Trial Jus t tic* 3). H. Bussolland read by Gov. T?1 man at the meeting here on the 13th, has |].': been proven tobe the willful fabrication il'r. of a "mind d seased," and was thorough? ly exposed in las t week's Iktelliokmcbb. ? Editor D. H, F,ussell does not say one ? word in reference to the matter in this / week's Advocate, although he knows the1 ffl|jmdavit was absolutely false and that thei '?,> malicious perjurer had no object in view but to injure thn Conservative ticket ?? > ?i. Certain dthiens of unquestioned integ-. rity of Alken have made an affidavit ] that on one occasion Gov. Tillmxm said / herwould rather deal with negroes "than 16, the d-d fac toiy class." The Governor ;-. has been requested to deny that he said it but he dared not do it in the face of . the proof. The Huguenot MIU men in ^. Greenville iuve organized a Sheppard pand: Ori Club, and if thtiir votes can do fj'it, Gor. Tillman will be defeated. Can a self-respecting mill man vote for the can? didate that speaks of him and his asso? ciates as a "d?rd factory class?" Superintendent of Education May field ? a letter, or a speech, in which he 1 positively that tho royalty on phos i rock was now ?2 per ton. Comp Dller-General Ellerbe says in answer to ; letter of inquiry that the royalty is only ? per ton, what it has always been. So jiay?eld is convicted of dense ignorance what he pretends to know, or of hand? ling the truth too Carelessly. His boss,B. R. Tillman, has described the aforesaid Mayfiekl as "nothing bntY. d?d coat tail swinger, anyway," and wo don't care if ho did._ _ During our recent trip, from home, we had the pleasure of meeting many old' Carolinians in the several places we visl ted, and nearly all of them are thoroughly L in South Carolina politics and man a deep interest in her welfare, ithont a single exception every one of | lern denounces Tillman and holds him responsible for our present condition of | affairs. Nearly every new acquaintance we formet, upon learning that South jlina'was our home, would refer to the Tillman ^ministration, and tell us iow much the old Palmetto State was ig injured by its policy. V'The Register,' claims that the phosphate jalty has lavgely increased lately, say J that "last month it amounted to about $35,000 more than ever before known." Of course the .Register didn't come within L$adling distance of the facts. The facts are that during the last nine months of the existence of the Department of Agrioul ftu?~and Commissioner Butler the phos? phate royalty amounted to 994,444 more than during the last nine months of the present administration, or at the rate of ?125,929 per year. These are the facts. That is one. instance where Tillmanism has hurt the State. A clear loss of ?94,444 Within tbe last nine menths! ' "We hold to the use of both gold and ' silver without discriminating against ei? ther metal or charge for mintage," etc* That is the declaration of the National Democratic platform on the currency question. That is a plain declaration for free silver so long as a silver dollar will be taken at Its face value. That is a com? mon sense limitation to what otherwise might become a disastrous policy. Yet the Advocate says, "The free coinage of silver is not in the democratic platform." Which may mean either that the Advo? cate is not good authority on democracy or is again merely quibbling in its at? tempts to pull wool over the eyes of its readers._ _ "There is nothing in your course but a factious and a captions opposition to tbe demands of the farmers." So says the Advocate of the I rr ell i gen cer. Every farmer who has a thimble full of brains knows that the democratic party is the best and most powerful friend the far? mers have, and if he knows anything of the Intelligences he knows there is not a more thoroughly democratic paper in the State. That is proof positive that the Intelligencer is a friend of the far? mers. Had wo been convicted of receiv? ing and distributing Republican litera? ture, however, we might be liable to a charge of a "factious and captions oppo? sition to the demands of the farmers." In voting for the Conservative candi? dates there is infinitely more. involved than a mere Vote for a friend or a man. It is a< vote for free men as oppos sd to ?'coat-tail" men. It is a vote for men making the race on merit as opposed to men generally reputed be under tbe con ?ontiol of political bosses and ringsiers. It is a vote for men who desire and ask the votes of all citizens of the County through all th e papers of the County as opposed toymen who ask for support from only a faction of the party and through the or? gan of that faction alone. It means a vote for men who will represent the whole people and not. a faction only. It is a vote for measures and incidentally for me n as opposed to canons candidates. So far the Tillman administration has not succeeded in refunding one dollar ot the State debt of over $6,000,000. The ef? fort has been made, but the present- ad? ministration has so shaken the confidence of the men that have money to loan that they are afraid to invest their monoy in our securities. North Carolina has re? funded her public debt at 4 and 4} per cent, and Georgia has refunded hears at 3J per cent. If our State debt has to be re? funded at 6 per cent, instead of at 4} per cent, as in North Carolina, then our State will be the loser by 190,000 a year. Should it have to be refunded at 7 per cent, whereas it mighthavebeen refund? ed at li per cent, then the State will be tho loser by $150,000 a year. The in? creased interest, will have to be paid until the debt is refunded at a lower rate or un? til it is paid. Suppose the bonds run for only 20 years at 6 per cent Tbe- differ? ence between that rate and tbe i ate at which North Carolina refunded be/ debt, 4i per cent, will mean a dear los? of 81, 800,000 for the State for that i?riod. Should they run for 50 years tbe State will lose a clear $4,500,000 in interest paid on her bonds. If thejrablic had as much confidence in our State Government as it has in North Carolina our debt could be refunded at 4} per cent, likewise. . WORK TOB SHKPPABD AND OKfe. The thirty-fourth and last State cam? paign meeting was held near Lanrens on Saturday last 1 The campaign has been a laborious and fatiguing one for the candidates and has been fraught with no little danger to life aad limb. > The State is to be congratulated that no life has been losf while men were work? ed into the heat of passion by tho utter? ances of some of the candidates. The Conservative ticket has made a magnificent fight. They entered the field with the odds against them and there is good reason to believe that they h-.ive won the victory. Their appeals have been full of com? mon sense and logic and eloquence. They have met and refuted slanders and falsehoods. They have been subjected to the insults of howEng mobs. But like men they have steadfastly withstood all difficulties and have won the ad&iiration of the whole country. They guarantee to the people a faithful, business-like, economical and Democratic administra? tion of their State government in return for their votes. They are pledged to use their best efforts in restoring peace and unity and brotherly love among a divided and excited people. The Conservative candidates have proven themselves worthy of your vote. -?et them have it.. Continue to work for them that the vic? tory may not be lost to them after they have won it "The Fact* Kogaire No Cloaking.'' Editor Intclljgencer : The Advo? cate of tho 15th inst contains an article which demands consideration. First there are some errors. Mr. Rus? sell says I seek to hold him responsible for the political sins of bis brother. Not at all, I simply charged him with holding open his professedly Democratic columns to the pen of that Republican brother. This charge,- by the way, together with those relative to Wm. Hess. (Third Party State Chairman for Illinois,) and "Shanks," (God-defying Republican,) has not been dunied. Mr. Russell m>ys I am a teacher in an institution?Willlamston Female College, I infer. For ; n formation touching this school the people will please look away from the columns of the Advocate to the Catalogue. I was pressed into service, much against my inclination, for a short time last session, while one of the teachers was down with nervous prostration. He has me to say that "TiRmanism, if at ? Ji, is but one step removed from the rotten est republicanism." See the In? telligence* of last week, and observe the cool falsehood. Referrine to T. H. R's. "Politics Ron Mad," I said: "His second paragraph is an ont and oat avowal that the 'revolution'-Tillmanism, I infer?is the direct produot of Green baokism, which, if at all, is> but oro step,'* &c. As to exposing private correspondence, will Mr. Rue*eJl believe me when I say I never was into a newspaper controversy before, and was unconscious of any breach of tbe code ? His letter was for? warded an hour after its receipt, and was published as the simplest explanation of why the letter addressed to tia-Advocate appeared in another paper. So much for tho inaccuracies of the article. A good stopping place but for Mi*. R's. potent invitation to introduce matter that "is neither here nor there for our present purposes." Mr. Russell's article, if meant as a reply to my own, is an insult to the intel? ligence of his readers. He replaces logic with a laborious argumentum ad hominem. He begs the question, dodging every issue except the Reform Signal affair, in the discussion of which he intrenches himself behind his family afflictions which decency forbids to invade. He assays to slur the Williamston Female College without the manliness to name it. He plays upon Haskellism concerning which its journalistic model,.ttoe-i??m*<?"? of March 25th, has thto to say t "Let us extend to these brother Democrats [Haskellites] the right hand of fellow? ship, and take them into ou-r conferences and our confidences." The manner in which he injects the Haskell business is singularly disgust? ing and revolting. He says: "Mr. lan? der, we are informed, has a brother who voted the Haskell ticket," <tc. What right has he to say a word unless be can Bay it without the qualifying clause "wo are informed." Rank, cowardice! Fur? ther :?I have six brothers and his con? temptible inuendo places whatever of odium attaches to the epithet "Haskell ite" equally upon all. A display of cow? ardice on a par with that which quoted the "gambling, drinking" slander from tbe Register a month ago. ? The facts require no cloaking. W. T. Lander voi <1 for Haskell. The same day he v ' ' "r D. H. Russell. More: prior tot! .;? ion he d'd everything he could to stop and counteract the rumors which were floating against D. H. K. He went so far as to write to D. H. R. mak? ing inquiry about the rumors, asking him' to come to Williamston at once to look to hia laurels. In return for these kind offices, he is held up to scorn and ridicule as a Haskellite. Then tho Ad? vocate's harangue closes with these words:?"Whatever else may be said of D. H. R., he possesses no such poverty of friendship as that. He is loyal to his friends Such hypocracy is an outrage upon his readers' self-respect. Mr. Russell charges me with call. Speaking of that hepatio exudation, how is this T?Two weeks ago he defend;? the repeal of the lien law, and cites the pros? perity of those who do not give liens. If anybody wants to know how he got along without liens, his repudiated debts will tell. Let no man cry "false" to this. The figures speak for themselves, and will be forth coming if the above is de? nied. Let him not pose as "unfortunate in money matters," for the questfon will be debated whether himself or his credi? tors is most unfortunate. The plea of "carelessness in business"' will be more tenable, and be will have his School Commissioner's books as witnesses. The , failuro to credit Brushy Creek with its due and Williamston with its, the utter incomprehensibility of his distributions of the polls, <fec, &c, will speak much for the plea of "carelessness" but more for the charge of incom potency. As soon as Mr. Russell merits it, he will be accorded the same respect that is given to his brothers, who are nothing if J not open and above board. M. M. Lander. Tbe County Campaign. Messrs. Editors : There are some fea? tures about the present County campaign that I beg permission to notice. 1st. The candidates for the Legislature, with some few exceptions, talk not about what is co be done in the interest of the people by the State Legislature, but on tbe contrary discuss Till man, either fa? vorably or unfavorably. Very little is said on any issue except the issue of whether or not B. R. Tillman shall be re elected. 2nd. Candidates for County offices are being asked all manner of questions, which do not, and can never, in the very nature of things, have anything to do in the work required of them if elected. For instance, the candidates for tho Clerk of Court, for Treasurer, for School Com? missioner, for Auditor, and even for County Commissioners, are asked^if they favor the "Ocala demands," if they "en? dorse the present State administration," if they are in favor of "free silver," and even if they favor the re-election of B. R. Tillman as Governor. Now, intelligent people are permitting themselves to be deceived into believing that this is right, and in the interest of "good government" Can this be right ? I am forced to an? swer no. It is only the beginning of what will finally, unless checked, undermine the very liberty of free people. No man has a right to know how another man votes, as between two candidates, both Democrats. A man who would seek votes in that way eltherfor himself or his fciend thereby proves himself unworthy of the confidence of tho people and by logical inference admits his own or his frnend's want of merit. Any man who will seek office on any other ground than oh his own personal merit and fitness and qualification for the office he seeks, (not for some other office,) is unworthy of the votes of right-thinking free? people. County officers should not be factional priLticians. They should so conduct them? selves while'candidates as to retain the respect and confidence of tbe whole peo? ple of the County they are to serve if elect? ed. Take for illustration the office of School Commissioner. The influence of that office among the people, and especi? ally.among the children and teachers, is worth more thrra any other requisite he can possess. Stupposa be so conducts himself either in public or private life as to lose his influence over them, and to forfeit their perfect respect, he is no log? ger worth much as a School Commission? er. The children should have a man to visit them in whom they may justly place confidence, and whose words of counsel and encouragement they can be? lieve to be sincere. A candidate for School Commissioner should not, and onght not to be expected to take side in factional Solitics. Neither Bhould the Clerk, the heriff, the Treasurer,. the Auditor nor the County Commissioners. Vote for the man best'suited and qualified to do the work. You should require no more of ! him than that he is a Democrat I There are certain duties that pertain to each County office. Study to know what these are, and support that candidate who is best fitted to do that particular work. No man should fail to see in every act of his life a sacred duty, one in which he either pleases or displeases God, one in wbioh he either* honors or dishonors God and himself. ThiB is just as true of vot? ing as it is of preaching, praying or doing anything else. A man should vote as he prays. In conclusion let me say, on the 30th day of August, 1892, God, South Carolina, and Anderson County expects every man to do his duty, and will hold every man responsible for a disregard of duty. No act or vote of a man's life ever escapes tho Recording Angel. In the language of another: "We cannot honor our country with too deep a reverence. We cannot love her with an affection too pure and fervent We cannot serve her with r.n energy of purpose or a faithfulness of zeal too steadfast and ardent" Duty. THIS WAS A CLOSE CALL. Narrow Escape from a Fearful Blot ai Nowberry. From the Augusta Chronicle. Nbwrkrby, S. C, Aug. 18.?Hotter and hotter grows the State campaign. To? day's meeting almost ended in bloodshed and in the loss of many lives. Colonel Youmans got a chance to speak first and thus made Governor Till? man face him. A hot colloquy ensued, in which Tillman repeated his former declaration that he would not descend to tbe level of a blackguard. Violent demonstrations from both fac? tions ensued, pistols beingdrawnand men rushing on the stand, and it is a mercy to? day that the structure was too frail to bear the increased weight Down it went, carrying the crowd with it and averting the shedding of human blood. Colonel Youmans had Iiis inning later, and he denounced the governor as a pub lic-liar and coward, and virtually said that if Tillman wished to resent it he was xeady for him at the proper time and place The crowd today numbered,, nearly 1,500 persons, and the meeting was held two miles from town. There were about seventy-five TiUmanites from Edgefield and a few from Laurens. The talk on the streets last night and this morning was that the Edgefield er s came to create a disturbance, and there are many here who oharge them with it, and say that but for them the wordy war would have passed off without trouble. There was no doubt of the complexion of the crowd. It was largely against Tillman, the con? servatives, who expect to carry this county, numbering about three-fifths of the crowd. Solicitor O. L. Selz um pert was appoint? ed chief State constable by the governor and he had seventy-five assist? ants. Colonel Youmans quoted several per i sons who had declared that several years ago Tillman told them he was simply making his wholesale charges against the government and the officials in order to attract attention. "If Governor Till? man denies the truth of this statement which I make, I desire him to do so in my presence." As Colonel Youmans said this he turned and faced Tillman and awaited his answer. There were thunderous cheers from both factions, the conserva? tives crying, "Make him answer, You? mans," and the TiUmanites shouting, "Answer hLm, Governor." the governor's reply. For a few minutes the governor did not stir, and Colonel Youmans stepped several paces oloser, calling upon him if he had any answer to make to it. The cheers and cries of the factions increased and finally the governor arose and said: "This is next to tbe last meeting in the campaign of 1692. I have told this man at Horry that I declined to sink to tbe level of a blackguard, and that I would not notice any questions coming from him, and I repeat it." As Governor Tillman took his seat great oxcitement ensued. There was a perfect Babel of voices and the crowd gathered closer around the stand. said colonel youmans, "Do you as Governor of South Caro? lina condescend to apply to me, a public speaker on the opposite side, the term of blackguard?" Governor Tillman?"You have your answer." Colonel Youmans?"What do you say?" Governor Tillman?"I say you have your answer." Colonel Youmans?"Governor Till? man, that is an evasion. Will you plea- ?<? be man enough to .-:???? nosi'iv?i" whether you intend to apply to mn ihe epithet of blackguard, and untie my ]hands?" The excitement increased. Behind the governor was a crowd of Tillman ites who clambered over the railing and began to cluster around him and make demonstra? tions. Their actions caused the governor's seat to be depressed or jerked over, and he arose. The crowd took this to mean fight, and pandemonium ensued. Yells rent the air, pistols were drawn, and tbe crowd rushed to the stand. Governor Tillman's friends clustered around him and Colonel Youmans' friends also surged on the stand. The scene that followed was almost impossible for correct description so thoroughly was everything confused. Odo man jumped over tbe reporters' tables with ? drawn pistol, making to? wards tbe center of the disturbance and another was seen climbins; over the rail with a gun in his hand. It seemed as if blond would be spilled. The platform was packed. Some went tbero in the in? terest of peace, and others were evident? ly bent on having a disturbance. Be? tween the two there is no telling what would have happened had it not beon for a providential interference. In tbe centre of the stand several in? furiated persons seemed to be clutching each other and rocking to and fro, when imddenly tbe stand foil in with a loud crash, precipitating tbe occupants to tbe ground. At that moment tbe crowd was so wrought up that everybody momenta? rily expected a terrible riot in which men would have buen killed right and left. It was a critical moment, and spectators shuddered as they awaited the results." Tillman was hoisted on the shoulders of his followers, and with whoops and hurrahs they carried him to a house near by. There were probably not more than 200 or 250 persons in the crowd that fol? lowed Governor Tillman, and a number of them were conservatives. The gov? ernor was called on to speak, and spoke Bti follows : "I am sorry things are as they are. I am not responsible, because this man lias been told at least throe times before this that I would hot sink to the level of a blackguard, and this whole disturbance is an evidence that they are whipped and are trying to create a row. I have come bore to speak to this crowd. If we can go back and speak to the whole crowd I will do so, but I will not speak to a part of it. "They put this man (Youmans) up at Eugetield, and it liked to created a riot there, and at Spartan burg he was put up and it almost created a riot. They have put him up here as their last hope." (Cries of "Let's go back to the stand.") Colonel Youmans had been carried on the shoulders of his friends to the re? porters' tables, where he spoke. The crowd before him seemed to be from two to three times as largo as the small con? tingent that went with the governor. "Tillman has left the stand," said he. I asked him if he intended to brand me as a public blackguard and he has left this stand." Voices?"He will do that every time. He knew he was telling a lie." Colonel Youmans?"I do not want to violate the etiquette of stump debate. I have never done so. If Governor Till? man meant to cast that epithet at me I take this opportunity to brand him as a pulie liar and a public blackguard, and if he wishes personal satisfaction I hold myself personally responsible." ' (Loud applause.) "The record proves that he has been the first man elevated to high official posi? tion by the white people of South Caro? lina whose standard was so low that the gentry of the State considered that he could* not pass an insult. (Cheers.) I wish to say oefore the manhood of New berry county that a custom prevails which debars a maj from seeking satis? faction from a man of Governor Till? man's standard, but a gentleman could render satisfaction, if tie so desired, to his boot black. If he fails to take notice of what I have to say, I brand him as a puplio coward. (Great applause.) "1 told Governor Tillman at Hampton that he couldn't face me for si'x rounds on tbo stand before a quiet audience, and ho has been skipping from- tbe stand to avoid me, or it appears so. I asked permission to speak first today in order to catch him on the stand, (Voice: He couldn't stand it.) but he couldn't answer the question I put to him as to whethir his charges against the administration and the public officials were true. He evaded the question. I am fortified upon that position. I have got the state? ment of one of your fellow citizens to that effect, and I propose to read it. (Cries: "Read it.") "I will show you that he could not answer the question. Here is a written statement: " 'Newberby^S. C, Aug. 18,1892. " 'Previous to Captain Tillrnan'b nom? ination for the governorship, about two and a half years ago, in conversation with him on the train, I said to him that my principal objection to him was that he made too many wholesale charges against the State government and every? body who has held office since 1876 with? out the proof. He said he had to write as he did in order to attract the attention and get the ear of the people; that if he had written in the ordinary newspaper style he could never have gotten tbe attention of tbe people. (Signed) Elbert H. Aull. (Mr. Aull is editor of the Newberry Herald and News.) "If there are any of Tillman's friends here who dare to deny that he advocates the doctrine not of truth but of exag? geration lam prepared to convict him over his own signature. The captain wrote from his post office at Ropers on the 17th of February, 1887, to E. B. Mur? ray, of Andsrson. I will show you why he left. Here is an extract: " 'But I must to business. I desire to suggest that if you can possibly so ar? range it, the offer of tbe college building, etc., which you told me abont, be made to the board of agriculture for the expe? rimental station on condition that an agricultural college be established there hereafter, and let the offer get in the pa? pers, especially the News and Courier. Then let notice of the adaptability, etc., etc., in as glowing colors as possible be given and enlarged upon. Even a little exaggeration might help and smooth tbe way to getting the college next winter. (Voice?'No wonder he ran.') "Tillman is going from stump to stump proclaiming that he confined himself to the truth. Mere is tbe conviction that he published these charges to attract at? tention. He comes out over his own signature and advocates tbe adoption of exaggeration to smooth the way to ac? complish his purposes. "This is just the way that Tillman smoothed his way to the gubernatorial chair, not by truth, but by exaggeration. When he started this farmers' move? ment he did not say it was a campaign of exaggeration, but he said truth and right were his guiding stars, and he called on God to witness the sincerity of his mo? tives and the purity of his intentions. He was charged with office seeking, but he said he began tbe fight as a plain farmer and a simple citizen and he would end it as he "began it. Now, fellow-citizens, what does the sequel show ? It shows that these were mere exaggerations and that this was Tillman 'blowing' to smooth the way to political preferment." At this juncture Chairman Bleaso, ad? journed the meeting, and, under an agreement between Governor Tillman and ex-Governor Sheppard, there was no more speaking, and the crowd dispersed after having several fights.

On Tuesday evening about forty of the survivors, with a few old soldiers from other commands, were present on the old historic grounds, - and a most delightful evening was enjoyed, In fact, the few hours of that meeting were the moBt en? joyable of any of our reunions in years past. Everybody enjoyed John Eskew's humble bee song, especially Dick., Sam. and John, who had never heard it before. Battles were fought over and many war incidents and jokes were related, and it was a lato hour when we retired to seek a little sleep. On Wednesday morning, notwith? standing the weather was threatening, the crowd begun to gather early, many ; ladies being among the number. At ID o'clock the Association was called to-order at the arbor by Maj. Vandiver, the Presi? dent, Capt* Rodders, being absent. After some remarks by the Chairman, and a few remarks of welcome by the committee of arrangements, the minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. Letters wore read from R. R. Hemphill, Judge Norton and Rev. John T. McBryde, who had been invited to make addresses on this occasion, regretting thoir inability to bo present with us. The first business in order vas the election of officers, wbich :e*ulied as follows: President, John Eskew; 1st Vice-President, R. Y. H. Lowery; 2nd Vice-President, J. N. Vandiver; 3rd Vice-Pre3ident, W. A. Barron; Chaplain, Rev. H. T. Sloan, D. D.; Secretary and Treasurer, W. T. Mc Gill; Coramittea of- Arrangements. W. T. McGill, R. Y. H. Lowery and R. M. Haddon. It having boen intimated in the Charles? ton News and Courier that the Association would be invited to hold oar next reun? ion on Sollivan's Island, a Committee,was appointed, with power to accept, if proper arrangements could be made. The Com? mittee consists of the following gentle? men : Maj. J. N. Vandiver, John Eskew, H. H. Gray, W. T. Cowan, R. Y. H. Low? ery, B. P. Crayton and J. S. Cothran. After some other business the audience wbb addressed by M. F. Ansel, Esq., who is an honorary member of the Association, he having had a brother, Mr. J. J.Ansel, in the Regiment, who enlisted 20th July 1861, and surrendered at Appomattox. Mr. Ansel's talk was a good one. It was free from politics. Col. Sloan, of the 4th Regiment, was present, and was called on to make some lemarks, but declined on account of feo bleness. About two hundred survivors were present, a number of whom were from other commands. The mother of the Regiment, Mre. M. J. Orr, who, with Mrs. Ledbetter, never fails to be on band, was with us, and one of the most touching in? cidents of the meeting was the reception given these two noble ladies after the ad? journment by the Survivors of the Asso? ciation. Throughout this was the most interest? ing and pleasant meeting we have ever bad, but there is one noticeable fact?we are growing less in numbers every year. Since we gave up the fight at Appomattox, one by- one our old comrades have '?orossed over the river and are now rest? ing under the shade of the trees," but those of us who have been permitted to attend this reunion will continue to cher? ish their memory until we too answer to the roll call of that ever-conquering vic? tor, death. W. T. McGill, Sec. Abbeville, Oconee and Fickens papers please copy. Lebanon Items. We have bad that gentle shower we so much needed. At this writing the protracted meeting is going on here, and we have large and appreciative audiences and good preach? ing bytbepastor, Rev. W.Hawkins. A great deal of interest is manifested. Mr. and Mrs. William Harper have re? turned home after a pleasant visit of ten or twelve days among relatives and friends near Carnesville, Georgia. On their return they spent a night with Miss Louanna Norris, their neice,' who left our midst a few weeks ago, and hqa charge of a school in Pickens County with ninety pupils. Mr. Sam. Murphy was in this section a few days ago. He had been to Fendleton and placed over the grave of Mr. H. P. Rowland the most beautiful tombstone we ever saw for the price, which was $40. The pleasant greetings the other Sunday between Miss Rosa Greer and her many friends, of Lebanon, was indeed mutual. Miss Alma Wickliffe. a highly culti? vated and accomplished young lady, is assisting Prof. Holland in his school here. Miss Hallie Harper, of Dallas, Texas, is visiting friends and relatives here and attending onr meeting. If there are more ladies in Dallas like her it would bo with pleasure that we would welcome them among us. Mr. B, J. Smith, who has been absent for a year or more in Alabama as tele? graph operator, to the great joy of his pa? rents and pleasure of friends and relatives, has returned home. Tbe friends and relatives are glad to see tbe widow and children of Mr. John R. Williams, late of Central, visiting here. Mr. Robt. Breazeale has another boarder at his house, but it will be 16 or 18 years yet before she will be one of Lebanon's belles. c The Reunion at Sandy Springs of course I brought up Bad memories of the long ago, bat present enjoyments and the many bright faces and the reminiscences of that which was good, and?oh, yes, politics, seemed to prevent anything save a mo? mentary gloom from entering camp. The Bruno political meeting was a suc? cess, and if the gentlemen feel proud in giving the ladies pleasure at seeing nice behavior and good conduct, and in honor? ing their fellowman, they should, indeed, feel themseves acquitted. Bruno is as large a place as most any city. Of course there are not as many people, nor as many houses, nor no large water courses, or fireworks, &c, but tbe place itself is a whale, and it is pretty and level and sandy and plenty .of grand old oaks to shade the future city. Minnkuaha. The Church at this place has j ust closed an interesting meeting of eight days length, which brought in six new mem? bers. Nearly all of our people are now connected with some branch of the Chris? tian church. During the meeting politics wore not mentioned by a large portion of us. We had a pleasant club meeting at San? dy Springs, and two or three good speech? es were made by tbe antis, as so called. They advised every body to stick to the Democratic party, let whom will bo nom? inated for Governor. The old soldiers also had a good time at Sandy Springs, and enjoyed a fine'din ner. Rev. Mr. Odell is conducting a meeting this week in the Sandy Springs church. The candidates were greeted by a good audience a.t Five Forks last Wednesday. Several speeches wore made. Josh open? ed and Norris closed the speaking. Some the crov;d had dinner with them, but some who were not so fortunate went home hungry. All of the.candidates will not be elected, but it will not be their fault, for they are all working hard. Hon. John Belton Watson told the crowd to mind how they voted. Belt, need not mind. We will let him stay at homo and look after his family, creditors, etc. Mr. Latimer was not present, but heisjustas sure to be elected if?Mr. Johnstono dies and no one else comes out for Congress. Our crops are needing rain, and many of our people are very despondent. Let them put their trust in God, He will dot what is best. Miss Hallie E. Harper, of Dallas, Tex? as, and Mr. Wm. T. Harper, of Jones County, Miss., are visiting their relatives in this section. La Grippe Again. During the epidemic of' La Grippe last season Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, proved to be the best remedy. Reports from the many who used it confirm this statement. They were not only quickly relieved, but the disease left no bad after results. We ask you to give this;remedy a trial and we guarantee that you will be satisfied with results, or the purchase price will be re? funded. It has no equal in La Grippe, or any Throat, Chest or Lung Troubles. Trial bottles free at Hill Bros. Drug Store. Largo bottles, 50c. and $100. ! f Happy Hoosiers. Wm. Simmons, Postmaster of Idaville, Ind., writes: "Electric Bitters has done more for me than all other medicines com? bined, for that bad feeling arising from Kidney and Liver trouble." John Leslie, farmer and stockman of same place, says : "Find Electric Bitters to be the best Kid? ney and Liver medicine, rn??kc nvj feel like a new man-" J, W. Gardner, hardware merchant, same town, saya : Electric Bitters is just the thing for a man who is all run down and don't care whathcr ho lives or dies; be found new strength, good appetite, and felt just like he had a new lease on life.
