As Boon as they were con vinced that tbe shelter was in tbe road they ordered it moved right away. I don't think that we have ever bad Com? missioners that have done better for tbe County thsn our present ones. I will nominate W. P.

Before Christmas I wrote that there had been formed in this vicinity a literary or? ganization. It has been' named "The Mo-Co-Ge Reading Circle." It has for its purpose the encouragement of reading good books, and the study and interchange of views on tbe books selected to be read. The first selection was "Ben Hur," and tbe second "Tbe Natural Law in the Spir? itual World." Thesebooks are now being read by tbe members of the Circle. Tbe meetings are weekly. Last week tbe Mo Co-Ge Heading Circle met at tbe residence of Dr. A. G Cook. At this meeting a por? tion of "Ben Hur" was read by Miss Mamie Pressloy and a part of tbe "Natu* ral Law in the Spiritual World" dUcuss? ed. The meeting was presided over by Mr. A. B. Rlley. Mr. It.

A gentleman who was in business there at that time (Mr. Amos Adams, for whom I was named) gave me a little knife. It had a wooden handle, and it had one blade; it was a Bmall blade. It was a pretty little knife. I tried to keep it, but one day as I was playing it jumped out of my pocket. I hated this, for it was given to me. They told me that I had planted it, but it never did come up. I have lost a good many since that and none of them ever came np. Amos McDonald. The clear weather is welcomed by all.

C. 29-2* | llouea Path Happenings. Rain! Rain ! Too much ruin is the gouoral complaint of every farmer. "Looks like I cannot, get any oats sown, or any ground broken up, or even any hauling done," etc. Mau, it seems, is never satisfied. The past year, it seems, has been one of unusual occurrence, disasters to both life and property, as past records will show. It seems to have no effect upon the general masses of the people. The same reckless, headlong, thoughtless way is being pursued, with never a thought of the past. We should be thankful that it is as well with us as it is. The school was never better here, than now, bo says Prof. Watkins, and he is always considered authority on suoh matters. But never in our notice have we seen it under as good control as at present. Wo are not interested?only an observer. The new house being erected by Mrs. Walters will soon be completed. It is neat in appearance, conveniently con? structed and situated in a very desirable part of the town. W. A. Shirley boasts of the nicest dwelling in the city, but ho is still board? ing with the "old man." Laying ail jokes aside, Mrs. Shirley says that they are going to move shortly. Wo guess some one could sell "Billy" a pig, a cow and a good yard dog. All these are essential to housekeeping. Miss Lois (Jhappell, one of the school girls, has been quite sick, but is belter. We guess she missed her mothei's com? forting words and domestic remedies, but her interest was well looked after by her sister, Mrs. Hough. We noticed three of our teachers came from their schools last Friday and spent Sunday with their parents. Honea Path feels proud of the teachers she has sent out, and always hates to hear of them getting so far away ibat they cannot come in occasionally. Only a few have wandering dispositions, but they are always glad to reach home when the time comes for them to close their schools. Our good natured "Billy Branyon" now rooms in his nice little cottage down the way. He has tried this before, but one night alter a big supper and twelve bourn of rain, he decided that "old Mrs." might look after him from that night on. He says now that he is not going to stay long by himself. "Billy" means this, too. Mr. C. E. Harper sold a car of mules last week. He is expected in from At? lanta to-day with another lot. He always selects good stock and sells reasonable. This is a local and not an advertisement. The price of cotton advancing puts a little more life into trade. As long as a* mau has a bale of cotton he buys goods at the cost price, promising to pay as soon as he "sells tocton," regardless of the amount of the purchases, but some of the merchants have caught on to this "racket." A. C. Hall and Breazeale Gambrell leave to-day for Atlanta and Texas, res? pectively. They are "sixteen-year-olds" and their experience may be given in later. Dr. Jas. F. Wilson leaves for the North February 15th to spend the summer. Barret Wright, of Piedmont, will fill his cilice here and J. A. Dickson, of Antre ville, who is now in Atlauta, will fill his office at Williamston. We welcome Mr. Wright, and bespeak for him the patron? age left by Dr. Wilson. Dr. Wilson, by his social attainments, kind disposition, moral nature and religious profession has left an enviable reputation and an exam? ple bard to imitate. Personally speaking we hate to see him go, but have nothing to say, as we are always glad to see any one better themselves. Mr. Robt. Kay, of Atlanta, spent last week at home. He has worked himself up to a nice position and seems satisfied to make his home "across the line." Mr. L. M. Wilson has added two rooms to his bouse for his father ana mother, who comes to live with him. The addi? tion improves his place very much. "B." Moseley News. Mr. Ben. Wiles, who left here a few years ago for Mississippi, returned about ten days ago. We understand he will leave again in a few days for his new home. Misses Maggie and Ola Young, from Marietta, Ga., are spending a month in this section with relatives and friends. Miss M. J. Sbuw came home from Townville last week where she had Bpent several days. Mrs. Lueretia Morgan is very sick with Eneumonia at this writing. We wish or a speedy recovery. One of our citizens, Mr. Patterson, has moved out into the country. He is going to farm on a large scale this year, make a fortune and go to Texas next fall. Good by, John, but we expect to Bee you in Barnes' next Christmas. Miss Rosa McAlister, from Baxter, is here at this writing, but will leave to? morrow for Mt. Carmel and Willington where she expects to spend several weeks with relatives and friends. At a meeting of our City Fathers re? cently Mr. John Evans, Jr., was declared a citizen of this place, (dogs and all), after which his name has been entered on our directory. Relief No. 3 is making some frantic ef? forts for the possession of a beautiful Rose not far from here. With a few more hard rains and swollen streams we tbink he will succeed. It was really amusing on last Wednes? day night to see E. L. II. giving candy for a little taffy, The boys are laughing about it yet, By-the-way Messrs, Editors, I would like to have a little chat with your Alioe correspondent. Say, John, have yon tried that remedy for love, that Miss Dr C suggested to you ? If so, let me know the result at once. A young man whom we will call Fridoy is having spasmodic fits about a beautiful lady, and something must be done for him at once. We are not surprised at his actions, hut think the lady should be labeled "Dangerous," for none can look upon her and be himself again. The following conversation was heard between two young people of this place one night last week : Lady?" Your sis? ter told me that you could make any girl love you that you wanted to." Gent? "Ob, I gueBS you are ioking." Lady? "No, sir, not a bit of it. She told me, and I believe it." Gent?"Why, I de olare, I have never been so fortunate as to have a girl love me." Lady?"Yes, you have." Gent?"Will you be kind enough to tell me who she is ?" Lady? "Yes, sir, It is me." Look out, Messrs. Morgan and Martin, you may be called upon at an hour when you think not. Rev. Mr. Harden filled his appoint? ment in the M. E, Church last Sunday. We think the people are well pleased with their new pastor. Pepro. Williamston Items. Mrs. B. F. Daous died last Wednesday at her home about two miles from here, after a long illness. A husband and four child rm survive her.

Clinkiicales, of Clemson College, was ac? cidentally but not seriously shot while out bunting last Wednesday afternoon by Mr. Davis.

Adams (colored,) the pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church, has been returned by the State Conference to his second year in this city. There has not been a sack of fertilizer received in Williamston, and it is very probable that the amount used this year will be much smaller than last year. Allen W. Clement, M. F. Gambrell and C. E. Horton have received their com? mission as Notaries Public. Business.on account of the scarcity of money, is exceedingly dull, and promi? ses to continue so.

C. T. B. Lowndcsville, Jan. 13. 'Squire Fewel Discusses Marriages, Politics, Schools, etc. Married, on December 24th, 1893, by Rev. 0. L. Stewart, at bis own residence, Mr. Joe Bryant and Miss Sue Paris; also, by the same, on January 7th, 1894, Mr. Thos. Fortune and Miss Alice Wat? son, daughter of Mr. W. N.

C. We wish for these newly married people a calm and peaceful as well as a successful voyage over the ocean of married life. So you see, Messrs. Editors, that the financial crisis has been passed over and a better day is now dawning, for the young folks could not be marrying so fast if we were not coming out from under the financial orash. I can Bee daylight be ginning to shine over the horizon of trade, and I predict that before we celobrate an? other Christmas this country will be booming in one of the most prosperous eras of her history; that is the United States as a whole?not South Carolina in? dividually?although we will share some of the prosperity, but not to the extent we would have done had we not been so over? whelmed with burdens in our State affairs. High taxes and a lack of confi? dence in our State Government abroad will keep us down for a while, but I tell you old proud Carolina won't stay under long. She never did, and she has been in nearly as hopeless a condition before and came out alright. I say nearly, for I don't think we were ever in quite so helpless condition, taking into consideration the division in the white people of the State, for we were never so divided before, and it's all ngainst our own success now if we stay divided. "A house divided against itself cannot stand." A question or two I would like for some "reformer" to an? swer. One is this: My taxes were 27 par cent, higher this-year than last. Now, what I want to know is this: what was done with that extra 27 per cent ? I don't hear of any public work being done. I don't think anything was done toward completing the State House, and I don't think they are making any appropriations for the Canal at Columbia. The old ?'ring" used to appropriate seventy-five thousand dollars a year for the comple? tion of the Capitol at Columbia, and ten thousand or more for the Canal, and our taxes were not near so high then as now. So I would like for some of the "reform' party to rise and explain matters a little, for if I have to pay for anything I want to know what it is and of what benefit it is to me. I see in the newspapers that the "true reform," or the "elect" as yon might say, are going to hold another March or July Convention, or whatever time they can agree on. Now, as for myself I don't ever expect to vote in another primary nnder the same or similar conditions as the last one we had. I will vote straight at the regular election for whoever I please, if I vote at all, but I will not go into another such a mess of caucus and ring rule again, and I am not alone in this by a good deal. I think the old-fashion before-tbe-war custom the best?that is, let any person, who wants to, run for office, and if a ma? jority vote for him, why declare him elected ; if not, let him stay at home like we used to do. I am mighty old-fashion in some of my notions, and there are a great many of our old-fashioned customs that huvn't been improved on to any very great ex? tent. School teaching for one has not been bettered, the method has been changed but not for the better. When I was a boy?when such men as Hugh Gantt, Robinson Cobb, Saunders Smith, Holbert Armstrong and Reuben Brock taught school, we had to be at the school house by sun up at this time of year and remain til sundown, with only an hour at noon for >(piay time," which we generally ocoupied in playinr; "town cat," or "bull pen," or "marbles," or "base," and nu? merous other amusements. Then when a oh?d? a new b giuner started to school? the first thing he or she were taught was the alphabet?the A B C's as we used to call them. I don't know why they said C's any more than they said A or B for there is but one C in the alphabet, but it was always understood to mean the alpha? bet when we said A B C's. But as I was going on to say, the first day for a child at school was taken up in trying to master the alphabet, and the next and the next, or on until they learned them, but now the first thing they try to learn them is to read. And I know of children who have gone to school a year and have never been taught the A B C's and don't know them. We had a very quiet Christmas?no drinking or serious accidents in this im? mediate neighborhood, but the Dispensary can't claim any oredit fo it, for it is pro? verbial with this section?we are used to it. Several of our neighbors have been quite Rick with la grippe, but I believe the most of them have got able to be out again. Dunoan Browning, son of Mr. George Browning, has been quite sick with pneu? monia &r the last week, but is, we are glad to say, convalesolng. We are eager to get to sowing oats, but the weather seems to be against us. I ad? vise all to sow plenty of oats. They make cheaper horse feed than corn, and are bet? ter. The Legislature copied some of my road law, but not enough, for, in addition to the $2 poll tax, they should have given the Road Commissioners power to levy an additional tax on real and personal prop? erty to work the roads, but I think the whole thing will be a farce any way.
