In this climate the early varieties begin to ripen about the first of August and continue for about four weeks.

This is one of tbe best known companies on tbe road and have a good reputation throughout the South, where they have appeared for the past fivo seasons The press speak in flattering terms of the character of the entertain? ment. The New Orleans City Item has the following of tbe appearance of the com? pany in tbat city : "They say that laugh? ing is contagious, and yet people cannot laugh unless there is something to make them. One continuous roar of laughter from over 1,800 people for more than two and^i half hours is a guarantee that fbey were delighted. Snch was the case at the Sr. Charles Theatre last night, and Bar? low Brothers' Mammoth Minntrels were the' magnet that caused all this hilarity. From the first part of the after piece it was a program of continual novelties, each and every one being greeted with the most vo? ciferous applause, and the entire per? formance merited the approbation of the large and enthusiastic audience. Praise is unnecessary for the performance, for it is immense, and the only regret is that the bouse is not largo enough to r.ccommodate the patrons, hundreds being turned away last night, unable to secure standing room. Tbe matinee for ladies and children has the same great program, and those who cannot attend in the evening should do so in the afternoon." The company will give a street parade at 4.33 in the after? noon. Reserved- seats cau be had at J. P. Gossett's Shoe Store without extra charge. Admission prices, 75. 50 aud 35 cents. flonea Path Items. The Honea Path High School opened last week with about one hundred pupTls and several others have come in since. The election passed off vory quietly at this place. We think both sides ought to be satisfied now. The Conservatives have the man they desired for President, and th?.' TiUman men have the man they de? sired tor Governor. If all white men in the State will rally to the support of Cleveland and Till man we think harmony will be again restoiud. But if either side refuses to support the nominees, there may he a split tbat will work lasting in? jury to tbe State. We think the TiUman men ought to feel bound to support Cleve? land, because they sent delegates to the Convention that nominated (Cleveland. We think the Conservatives ought to feel bound to support TiUman, because they tdbk part in tbe primary tbat nominated TiUman. We think that all men ought to feel bound to support tbe nominees of the party, because negro rule may be the re? sult of any further division at this time. Mr. R. 0, Branyon sold tbe first bale of new cotton at this place last Saturday. We understand that he received about seven and a half cents for it, though the regular price would have been about six and three quarter cents. Mr. C. E. Harper ginned his first bale of new cotton last Saturday. Tbe cotton crop is short and tbe price low, but corn is good and a large crop plauted in this section. We think about all tbe fodder has been saved in good con? dition. Messrs. T. H. Brock, J. C. Milford and J. W. Brock have gone to Northern mar? kets to buy their winter stock of goods. Mr. Collins is prepared to do all kind of machinery work. He will be found at tbe shop fo.nietly occupied by Mr. T. C. Nor? wood. Mr. James Rickets is making molasses for this community, and judging from the amount of sorghum that is being hauled to him there is a large crop made this year. Several plantations near town are for rent, and parties wishing to fret near town to educate their children would do well to make arrangements as soon as possible, as these chances have always been quickly taken, and if you wait you will probably fall to get a place.

Alimenten niece from Barker's Creek where some one h.\s tried to insult or traduce .Mr. Hiott. It soeins they have gotten behind the Church to do this low trick, and tried to make it appear that his sentiments wero voiced by that Church and community, which is utterly "false." There is no one that can bring aught aguiust Mr. Hlott since he baa been pastor of that Church, or criticise any of his work. He has proved a blessing to that Church and surrounding country. ? It has been more prosperous since his connection with it than evor before. He has been faithfully preaching' to this people seven years, and to think this impertinent slanderer would sneak in behind the Chuich and try to scoru one who is far bis superior, and, lower still, in trying to make tbe impression that it was the Church sentiments as well, which he knows to be a prodiguotis "falsehood.'' Now if this esteemed writer of the Ad? vocate, and certainly I mean no discour? tesy, was as woll known elsewhere as he is at home, it would ho quito different, but I believe his "rep" is confined to a fow "Tillmanites" only, and some oue would see it aud belicvo it was tho opinion of the neighborhood, but not so we are glad to say. Now, I'm expecting a tear up in some combined prose and poetry at which he is bard to beat, especially if he Is rhyming "falsehoods," which are bis us? ual subjects. R. C. Helton Item?. Mr. J. 15.

Picking peas and cotton is the order of the day now. We are not suffering for raiu now, as we had some regular trabh movers weok be? fore last. Mr. J. A. Stevenson has tho finest tur? nip patch I have seen anywhere. He said that ho had turnips in lite palch larger thau a gooBe egg. Hurrah for him! He is one of our best farmers, There were two. young men coming from preaching the other night and their mule ran away and ran over Mr. S. J.'a best girl. I can't tell you whether he got his girl or not, but will toll you the next writing. I heard that Mr. Joe carried his best girl to preaching a few days ago aud he was so excited when he wont to got out of the buggy that he just foil out head fore? most, Hustler. Cross Roads Items, The saw and hammer are heard ou all sides?this little burg is growing, Rev. R. D. Hawkins is having a nice residence built. We extend to him tho right hand of fellowship. Our school closes Friday, the 9th inst,, and we think it would be a good idea to paint the house. Wo already have patent desks, and if the house was painted we would have the best school house in the country. I can judgo a community by the houses they have for their children to get an education in. Now let us go to work and paint it. It can be painted for the small sura of $15. My ! what a small sum compared to the benefits to be derived from having it painted. It will attract good people to seek homes among us, the children will like to come and we can al? ways secure a good teacher. Miss Rosa Greer is doing good work and has ac? cepted to teach another term. We hope she will have a largo schon!. The Anderson boys aro putting up a ginnery. They do good work and will treat you right, so bring your cotton right along, tbcy will gin it and baleit for a song. Crops are not very gbod in this section, owing to the drought. Cotton will soon be rea.iy to pick, and our farmers will be kept busy gathering the fieecy staple. 1 have just road Pluukett's letter iu the IXTEIiLItiEXCKB, and I ihiuk he is right on some points. We are too extravagant, and as long as wo spend more than we make wo will still sing that old song "we are oppressed," when in fact we are op? pressing ourselves. If we live within our means we can havo better Churches, schools and better roads, and we will be able to have a new Court House, which is needed very badly. It wouldn't be but five cents apiece for every man, woman and child in the County, and yet we are not able to keep up with the procession as far. as the Count}' is concerned. Look at the money wasted fcr liquor, chicken fight? ing, horse racing, card playing, when if they would lay that money by they wouldu't he uo cry of hard tlme3. These politicians who go over the country de? ceiving the people by telling them the fault is in the government, don't know what they are talking about. If people would stay at home, live within their means and not expect tbe government to keep them up they will profit by it. Got right your self before you try to right the government. Uncle Josn. Killed at his. Post. J. L. Worthy, the faithful old watch? man at tho Saluda trestle, on the Air Lino road, was instantly killed between I 4 and ? o'clock yesterday morning by'a passing freight engine. Mr. Worthy had been tho watchman at tho trestle for four or fivo years. At night he carried a lantern and as each train came along he got on the sido of tho track nearest to tho engineer, waved his lantorn as a signal that he was on duty and then crossed tho trestlo to see that no liro had been dropped. Yesterday morning he was seated on the West side of the track waiting for a South bound freight train. He was probably dozing when ho heard tho approach of tho engine. The ongino was coming from the South and tbe watchman's duty was to bo on the East side of the track. Tho engine was almost upon him when ho seized his lantern ana tried to get across tho track. Tho engine was too close on him and struck him. The en? gineer, T. D. Haynes, and a colored fire? man saw tho lantern lly into the air and fall to the ground. They knew they had struck the watchman, and stoppod the engine. They wont back and found tho lifeless body of Mr. Worthy beside the track. The body was not mangled, but I blood flowed from bruises in the head and in.the breast. The body was carried into tho watchman's house, right on the Bido of tho track, put down in the pres? ence of the horrified wife and a small son without any words of consolation or ex? planation, and then tho engine crow mounted the engino and left. Mrs. Wor? thy knew nothing of her husband's'death until the mon walked into the house with hia body. The killing was reported at the Air Line depot and tho engineer went on to Spartanburg, his destination, with tho engine, leaving a colored trainman to tes? tify before the coroner. Coroner New? man was notified.' Mr. Worthy camo to this placo from Thomason, Ga., and.bis remains will be taken there for interment. Hewas about GO years old and a wife and one son lived with him. He had been an efficient man. Whether blame can be attached to the railroad men is not known. Tho negro trainman is the only wituess and his statement would exonerato the engineer. Mr. Worthy had not been expecting tho engino and died trying to do his duty.? Greenville News. ?
