'It was of the Nixon variety?"rough skin, thick meat of rich flavor and sweetness.'' The Doctor tells me that be has raised canta? loupes oi this variety that tipped tbe beam at 15 lbs. Can any ot the Intelligen? cer's readers beat him ? Tbe game of cbeokers soems to have taken a rise, most all the boys are trying their hand at it. Dr. Talm ige is quoted as commending the game of checkers both as an innocent recrea tion and1 as a beneficial study. "It teaches patience and forethought" says the eminent divine. Although my love for Benjamin never did exceed that of Jonathan and David, it makes me feel blue to see out? siders fling at him as tbe New York World did last Wednesday when it said : "?Even if they were yaakee brains,' South Carolina might well afford to im? port brains from any quarter if they oouid be got into the head of her Gover? nor.-'' The "public meeting" at Mountain Springs on Tuesday, the 18th, was attend? ed by quite a large crowd and was a quiet and orderly meeting in. every re? spect, the boys being in tbe best of good humor and on the lookout for an explan? ation of the silver situation., The meeting was presided over by W. C Pickens, and tbe speakers were Col. Jos. L. Keitt, Hon. A. C. Latimer and J. Belt Watson. Col. Koitt was the first to come forward. He spoke at some length and descanted with much fluency upon demands found in the platform upon which Weaver and Feld were nominated at Omaha, Neb., July 2nd, '92. He read the answers of our statesmen to the New York World's three questions, omitting Butler's. He said that Butler had tbe thing mixed up, was against them and alwuys had been. (To any thoughtful observer it will not be a very difficult task to work out the reason why Butler's answer wasn't read.) When the Colonel concluded his remarks the meeting was adjourned for dinner, which was served on the giounds. After dinner the speaking was resumed, Hon. A. C. Latimer occupying the rostrum. Having business that we were obliged to attend to elsewhere from 12.80 p. m. to 2.30 p. m. we did not get to hear tbe Con? gressman's address. Who i we got back to the grounds they had junt turned Belt Watson loose and he was playing around among the Psalms and shooting with a shotgun. He said that he had the audac? ity, the impudence, the impertinence and the courage to criticise a Judge?Judge Hudson. We thought a time or two that we would draw onr note book on him but he ran so much on the "Dick Daley" style we couldn't have took notes for?for?well, we just didn't try it. This is the way they said that Dick always commenced: "Feller citizons. This are a day for the pompulation of this kentry like a bob tailed pullet on n ricketty hen roost, to be looking np, up! A crisis has arriven an' sometim's buntl Where are we? all in a bunch. Where am I? here I is an' I'd stand here and expliate from now till the day o' synagouges if you'll whoop for Daley." Aftei precipitating the lar; ?> tanks of what wns called silver solution, I have heard several say that they beheld instead of tbe shining metal an article of a different hue , which when analyzed showed the "public meeting" had the following objects in view: First, to accuse the President of not sticking to the Democratic platform; Second, to lower Senator Butler in tho estimation of the people; Third, to misconstrue the meaning of General Gordon's address at Greenwood, Fourth, to denounce Judge Hudson; and Fifth, to instill the Moun? tain Springs and the Ptagah Alliances with rally ism and implore them to re? organize. Ned Needle. Plercetown Items. Last Sunday we took a trip to Earle's Bridge, on Seneca River. The old struct? ure is being torn down and will be super ceded by a handsome Iron one. We wish to remind the public that the bridge is Im? passable, but the ford is open and is safe to cross. We found tbe bridge across Deep Creek in a bad condition and torn up very badly.' It is unsafs to crossjthis bridge. Tbe western end has fallen in and hardly will bear tbe weightsf ahorse. If you have any shying stock we advise yon not to attempt crossing without un? hitching them. We enjoyed a swim in the river, w.bich is said tc be very deep above tbe btidge. There ure two shoals near the bridge wh.ch would be a good placo to build a factory. The water power Is the finest that there is in the State, but unfortunately there is no railroad near enough for (hem to be utilized. There might be a b -anch built out from the Blue Ridge Road, which 's aboat seven miles from the river. But, alas ? it will never be built as long as tbe party in power is hostile to capital and keep driving It out of the State. - We can cite an instance where capita] was drove out ot tbe State.. Three years ago there was begun work on a dam which was to furnish tbe power to run a cotton mill on Salud i River, below Williamston, but now what is the result? Why there is a lot of loose rook laying around and the work wai immediately stopped as soon as tbe election was over. Instead of - discouraging capitalists we ought to encourage tbem ? ? Invebi their money here. Every railroad and cotton mill we can get we will bo better off, for we can have a market for our farm pro? ducts, which is wasted for not having a market. .We saw a very fine field of upland corn on the Watson farm next x> the railroad. He knows how to farm and it does us good to see what a man can do with a sandy soil. We need mi.ny more such farmers as friend Watson. We noticed a very fine cotton crop on the Brown plantation. It was very clean and was ploughed to perfection. If we could narrate all w 2 saw we would be glad to do so, but it 1b impossible. The protracted meeting begun at Beu lah Sunday.' We wish everybody could hear our Mr. Boyd. He Is an excellent preacher and delivers his sermons with such power and force that tbe hardest sinner cannot withstand his eloquent ap? peals without being moved to repentance. We are needing rain very badly now. It has been three weeks aince we had a good season. We learn that Miss May Neal has been selected to teach the Friendship school aod that she took charge Monday. We wish her a successful term and a pleasant sojourn among us. Miss Carrie Pear man is getting along nicely at TnckerviUe, The "kids" are well pleased with her. The boys are wondering who wrote that poem on the watermelon. Boys, if you will just hold on maybe ve can find the man. They say it just s aits the times. We will try to give it to you in our next. Sam Dewberry. Alice Newt. Well, we have had fine rains, and tbe crops look refreshed. The reunion at the Institute was large? ly attended, about one thousand persons being present. The stand was nicely decorated with corn, peas, cedar and sun flowers, with the words "Co. F 24th Reg? iment, S. C. V.," on the front. We think everybody enjoyed the day. The next meeting will be at Cook's. Mrs. Seawright, of Don aidsville, spent last week visiting ber father, Capt. J. P. Tucker, Mr. E. Hall, Jr., was staging "Go car? ry tbe news" about two weeks ago. It's a boy, Miss Dessie Tucker spent last Saturday and Sunday in Donalds, A certain young man from the Fork came down not long ago to see his girl, and because another feile v was there ha went home before breakflist. We think he felt like eating after riding and walk? ing thirty miles. Say, Frank, dont't get soared so quick next time. Wo think a few couples around tbe In? stitute ought lo marry and get out of the way. Mr. Walter Murff, of Greenville, came down last week on his bicycle to see his best girl, Mr. Jim, Hall returned from Texas a few weeks ago. He speak 3 well of Texas. Tbe Sunday School at tie Institute died last Sunday and Rev. John L. Moore preached the funeral. Will Townsend and Pal McAdams are selling medicines for Dr. Gable. Mr. Baker Hall bas pirohased a nioe buggy. No doubt he Is going over in Greenville county. Rev. M. M. Pinson will preach at Rocky River next first Sunday at 3 o'clock. We know of a young man who has been going to see one girl for ten years. She certainly must be akin to old Job. _ JonN. Annual Meeting of (list Hilles. The 11th annual meeting of the Gist Rifles (Co. Dj Hampton Legion) Survi? vors' Association will take place at WH liamston, S. C, on Friday, August4th, 1803, at 11 o'clock a. m. All Confederate Survivors and their famil'es are cordially invited. I. W. Pickens, Pres., Brushy Creek, S C. J. L. Ma.?lpin, Sec., AudubOi S- C. Pendleton Dots. It has not been decided yet whether Pendleton will have a Stock Show this year or not, but it is to be hoped that there will be one. As there are so many finn farms around here, and all tilled with blooded stock, Pendleton could have a splendid exhibition Ihis fall. The only difficulty in tbe way now is the lack of a suitable place, and one large enough for race' track. This community has been noted for years for the successful exbibi tions held here and everybody would glad of another chance to attend one them, If the show should be held will not be before the first of October, probably later. There is one thing which Pendleton needs and that is an ice factory. The peo pie consume a great deal of ice here during the Summer, and by supplying tbe peo file here and shipping it to other poin t would be a paying investment, besides satisfying a long-felt want in Pendleton If the business men would only put thei shoulders to the wheel, the factory would be established here in a short while. When Clomson first opened a young man who went from here was not in love with the fare, and was vary free in h talk concerning it. A gentleman living herein town carefully wrapped up some butter and sugar in a little bag and sent to the gentleman who was so hard please. It is needless to say that he never complains now, but 02 tbe other hand loud in his praises of tbe fare at Glemson Some of the tennis players are thinking of challenging the Anderson Club for series of games.

Quite a number of people went on the excursion from here to Tallnlah last Frl day, and I think every one enjoyed it very much and are ready to go again. Mr. E. W. Acker, of Atlaota, Ga., and Mr. Herbert Aoker, of Mobile, Ala., made us a flying visit last week. A festival will be given in tbe spring park Friday afternoon from 6 to 10 o'clock.

It is our sad duty to chronicle the death of our dear beloved sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Elgin, wife of Mr. J. A. Elgin, which oc? curred at the home of her son on the 17tb inst., after a long and lingering illness. She bad been a great sufferer for many years, and everything possible was done to restore her, but death was the only re? lief. Mrs. Elgin was about seventy-two years of age, and she leaves behind her a broken-hearted husband and six chil? dren, besides a host of friends, to cherish her memory. Her last words were that she was prepared to meet her Saviour. Her remains were laid to rest on Tuesday in the First Creek Cemetery. May God bless and comfort her loved ones in their sore bereavement. Tbe want of rain is the great exclama? tion with the farmers. Fishing and pic nios seem to be tbe ob? ject of the day. Miss Alice Murdock visited the White Plains last Saturday. A certain fellow went to see bis girl a few Sunday nights ago, and it is 3aid that while he was conversing his mule became aggravated and pulled down the rack and started for home. Friend ?next time hitoh your mule to a swinging limb. The gardens around here are about all burnt up by the hot weather. Every? thing is suffering for the want of rain, and If we don't soon get some crops will be greatly injured, We do, therefore, hope that it will rain soon. A protraoted meeting is going on at First Creek Church, Keen eye. First Creek Items. Some of us attended tbe re union at Cars well Institute and enjoyed the occa? sion very much.

The pic nie is over, and all of tbe old ' ladies are smiling sgam. The pic nie was a success and everybody bad plenty to eat, and it was a big day for young folks for courting, and they made good use of the time, We will give you the program of the day: Hon. A. R.

Mr. Editor : I see in the Intelligen? cer of the 19th inst. that a young while man was killed in a row at Hattou's Ford. I beg to correct tbe ruinor. The people met at the above named place on the 15th at a pic nie, and as usual wine was on band. Mr. Robt. Suit, of Georgia, got in a row with Warren Beatty, hitting Beatty on the head with a rock and mak? ing quite a painful wound. There was not a single shot fired. Mr. Suit was taken back to tbe Georgia shore, which prevented any more trouble, but about dark on tbe same day Mr. Suit met an? other negro, Dock Gary, near his (Suit's) home, when words passed which resulted in the negro breaking Suit's skull with an iron walking stick, which resulted in his death Sunday morning at 7 o'clock. Mr. Suit was under the influence of whiskey, and at such times was considered rather wild. The negro was arrested Monday night near Westminister, and at the trial stated he had to kill or be killed.

Death of a Good Woman. Mrs. Blanche Hair, the beloved wife of Mr. Thos. J. Martin, of Pelzer, S. C, passed from the sorrows of earth to tbe joys of Heaven on 15th inst. This conse? crated Christian woman was the eldest daughter of Capt. and Mrs, Judsou E. Hair, of Barnwell County, S. C. She was educated in the Williamston Female College. About six years ago she was married to Mr. Thos. J. Martin, of Wil liamston, and came here to live. Soon after her husband engaged in business at Pelzer, where tbey have remained until her death. She, with* her husband and others, worked earnestly to erect the beau? tiful house of worship for tbe Baptist Church at Pelzer, and her funeral was tbe first to beheld in the building. On last Sunday morning a very large congrega? tion attended her funeral, which was con? ducted by tbe pastor, D. Weston Hiott, assisted by Rev. 0. L. Stewart, of the Presbyterian Churcb. At the close of the services Miss Emma Meredith Bang very sweetly "The beautiful beckoning bands." Not many dry eyes could be seen in tbe vast congregation. Sister Martin was very popular with all the people. She will be missed much in Pelzer, and espe? cially in her home and Churcb. She was a teacher in the Sunday School and an active member of tbe Woman's Mission? ary Society, and one of tbe leading spirits in Church work. She had been very strong ail her life until a few months be? fore her death. 'Tis so sad for one so young, (she was in her 24th year) with the prospect of so much usefulness and hap? piness before them to be called away, but we know that He who did it doeth all things well. She leaves two little chil? dren, a young husband and a host of rela? tives and friends to weep for her. Her remains were carried to the old family graveyard ' near Blackville, in Barnwell County, and laid away to rest and wait until tbe morning of the resur? rection. To the bereaved loved ones we extend our heartfelt sympathies in their sore alfliction, and pray that God may comfort their hearts and help them so to live tbat in Heaven they may all meet again. D.
