'He may not have much rtoney in his pocket, but he can snap ?-bis Angers in the face of hard times. An exchange is either very observant a; extremely hard-hearted. It says that aphort sermon will attract more attention tli an a good one. And it might have gone ftkther and remarked that bad sermon (or anything else for that matter,) will attract more attention than a good one*. Strange isn't it? But that is a peculiarity of human nature, to take' note of the defects instead of the virtues, to speak of tie Lad instead of the good in our fellow clan. - <m ? ^ - The Atlanta Journal says it is *he ' q pinion Of ihose who have given the sub? ject close and scientific study that there iik more gold in the Piedmont region, ex? panding from Virginia through the Caro? linas Into Georgia, than. there is in any c jther region in the United States.

All Con federate organizations and Confederate soldiers and sailors of vjali armies, grades and departments are Cordially invited to attend the reunion of their comrades.

The long struggle in Congress over the Bland bill for the coinage of tho silver seigniorage and tho silver bullion in the Treasury was ended last Thursday by the passage of the bill by a vote of 107 to 130. The special order to bring the bill to a vote was adopted by a bare quorum im? mediately after the House convened. This broke the opposition of tho filibus? ters, and they were powerless to do any? thing further to place an obstacle lu the ivay of the bill. All the amendments offered to the measure by Its opponents wore defeated. The bill as passed was in tixe nature of a substitute for the original text of the measure. The changes do not inflect the material features of the bill, which provides for the coinage of the ?ihrer seigniorage in tho Treasury, the issue of silyer certificates thereon, if needs be, in the discretion of the Secre? tary of the Treasury in advance of the coinage, and thereafter the coinage of the . remainder of the bullion as fast as prac? ticable, and tho Issue of silver certificates t'lereon to take the place of the Treasury notes issued i.n.ltr the Sherman Act, . which are to be retired and cancelled as rapidly as tho coiuage takes place. The changes made in the. substitute simply makes specific tho fact that the seignior? age is to be coined and that this bill shall .not affect the redemption of the Treasury ' notes under the existing law. An analy? sis of the vote by which the bill passed shows that 141 Democrats, 19 Republican!* ~and 8 Populists, total 167, voted for it, and 79 Republicans, 51 Democrats, total 130, c -' ??ral?.??t K - The South is evidently getting square. Taking all the textile industries into ac? count, 172 new mills, employing 13,160 persons, were erected in 1803, as against 272 mills, employing 30,000 persons, erected in 1892. Tbero were 73 cotton mills and 49 woolen mills in last year's lot, and nearly all were constructed dur? ing the first half of the year, when thorn was great activity in tho textile indus? tries. 'The south is mainly interested in cotton. In the period from 1800 to 1892 the New England States gained 1,500,009 spindles, tbe Middle States 43,598, the Western states 68,770 and tho Southern states 575,719. In this gain Massachusetts shows 1,023,220 spindles. But statistics for 1893 tell a d i froren t story. The record shows 27 mills with 183,103 spindles eroded in the South, as against 15 new mills with 182,000 spindles in New Eng? land, a fine comparative showinsr. The South is competing closely with the North in cotton manufacture as well as i in iron. Tlllman's Manifesto Columbia Slate. Everything is practically settled in regard to the calling of that early con? vention of tbe Reformers wbich the Alli? ance faction so vigorously demanded at Washington at the conference held about a month ago, and which the Irby-Evans faction so vigorously kicked against. Tbe Colleton idea is going to be work? ed out as speedily as possible in tbe several counties, with some modifica? tions, and the convention is going to be held some time in April. The develop? ments the State spoke of caused Gover? nor Til man to back down from bis in? tention to directly call a convention accompanying it with an address to tbe people, but the-Alliance people do not care about the matter one way. or the other. The Colleton idea, as already stated, will accomplish their purposes as well as a direct call. Nominations may be looked for when the convention meets. Governor Tillman has, however, issued what amounts to the same thing as a call, in a manifesto mentioned yesterday in the State, which has been placed in tbe deceptive form of an interview. In reality it Is nothing but the call he was jto issue, but in another shape. It was fiublibhed in the organ yesterday morn ng, being given to it exclusively, no other paper or correspondent being allow? ed access to it. Being such a contrast to the interview published by the Governor upon bis return from Washington on the matter of an early convention, and amounting to a call over his own signa? ture, it ia deemed of sufficient importance to the readers of the State to quote the principal portions of it. The Governor has couched what he had to say in very carefully chosen language. In giving his ideas of the call Issued by the Colleton people, the Governor says: * "I feel so mo reluctance in obtruding my views on the pnbllo on a matter which I fully discussed in an interview shortly after my je tarn from Washing? ton. There is evidently among the people a feeling,of restlessness and an uncer? tainty arising from all this talk and advo? cacy of. an early convention. If the 'antis' were making any active moves, I could Understand it, and see how it wonld be desirable or necessary to con? centrate tbe Beform vote in support of | one leader, bnt the advocates of a conven? tion to nominate a Reform candidate for Governor appear to forget that snch a nomination, without previous discussion to allow the people to judge of the fitnens or the various aspirants, is totally incon? sistent with all onr previous professions and practices, and must necessarily breed heart-burnings among tbe candidates who may be cut out and cause disgust among their friends. The dangers which some men .profess to see, if there is a free-for-all race in tbe primary, do not appear to me as great as those which will confront us sboulcbthe man who may get such nomination not meet the expecta? tions of the people when he begins to canvass." The Governor stated that the candidate for Governor will make a canvass of the State, and continnes: - "Why, of course. Tbe constitution of J the Democratic party in this State re? quires candidates for State offices to make a canvass, and should a convention pat forward a man who did not give satisfac? tion on the stamp, some other Reformer, or unobjectionable antl would inevitably be brought out and might beat the con? vention nominee. We had better be consistent in our practices and adhere to our principles and run the one danger rather than stultify ourselves and at the same time run tbe other risk." In regard to the course to be pursued by tbe Reformers, he says: 1 "The Colleton people have hit on a sohemo to allay the unrest, which is, per? haps, as good as any, with two additions or change.". They were in too big a hurry, and instead of calling a convention of one from each county, tbe mass meet? ings of Reformers in tbe different conn ties should simply meet and elect one of j *heir best men, with no axe to grind, to form a State campaign committee. It takes at least three weeks for any move? ment among the people to get under way, so as to.carry the whole mass. One half j the Reformers in Colleton do not yet know that a mass meeting is called for that county next Monday, and, not knowing it, they would resent any radi? cal action such as instructing their dele? gate of one to tbe Slate convention to call a nominating convention later. If it Ss the desire of tbe masses of the Reformers to move in this matter tbe process is easy and simple, but it must not be too hur? ried. There is no need of hurry, anj' way, and any movement which does not come from tbe people themselves will create great dissatisfaction and must meet defeat. The only way in wbich it can be bronght about is for fifteen or twenty leading men in each county to unite in a call similar to that of tbe Colleton leadei's for a mass meeting of Reformers at their respective court houses, salesday in April, to elect a member of a State Re- J form campaign committee. This can be done next Monday in every county, and I hope it will be done. There are inanv reasons why we should have such a com? mittee, of which I will tell you directly. A month being given during which the people can discuss the question of con? vention or no convention, the mass meet? ings iu April, when they elect their rep? resentatives on the State campaign com? mittee, can at tbe same time decide for or against a convention and instruct as to their wishes. If any shorter time is given the committee would not represent truly tbe wishes of the people. Talking about the work of this com? mittee. Governor Tillman proceeds to say: ''The first thing would be to set at rest this question of a Reform nominating convention, and until that is done the bickerings and jealousies and ambitions of tbe aspiranfs for tbe various offices will keep the Reform camp in a constant state of turmoil. If It is decided by this committee to call a convention (coming, as it will, from .the people, after fair ana lull notice) no fair-minded, loyal Refor? mer can object, and we will have gained that unity and harmony which do not now exist. If, on tbe otber hand the question of nomination be left to be set? tled at the August primary, as I hope it will be, this committee will have charge of tbe Reform campaign, and will look after the interests of tbe Reform faction." The Governor thinks that Democrats have a perfect right to fight each other this way inside the party ranks. In speaking of the probabilities of the Antis putting out a ticket, be says: "If there is unity and harmony and fair nlay among the Reformers, no, not for Governor or State officers, but tbey are going to make a desperate effort to control the Legislature; and tbe whiskey ring and railroads will furnish a large corruption fund." He thinks that national issues will play a prominent part in tbo campaign, and says the Cleveland gold bugs will assist tbe railroads and whiskey people to raise a big campaign fund. He says tbe Re? form party is stronger than it has ever been, and if his advice is followed uo one can buy "our people." In case tbe campaign committee is "advised" by tbe people to call a conven? tion, he says, he would give this advice: "Let the Reformers in each township meet and eleot delegates to a county con? vention just tbe same as to a Democratic county convention. Tbe balance of the programme could conform In every res? pect to the system adopted by the Demo? cratic party as a whole." Thus has the Governor, the erstwhile power in the land, spoken. Now let the game proceed. The Abbeville meeting is the next thing of interest on tbe programme. It comes off on Monday. The Alliance faction are perfectly well satisfied with what the Governor has done, and tbey don't propose to worry with this meet? ing. It was stated yesterday by one of { the leaders that Comptroller Ellerbe, tbe strongest candidate of this faction, will positively not attend tbe meeting, bbt will steer clear of all pitfalls. He will not return here from the low country till Tuesday next. None of tbe other con? templated candidates of this faction will attend. The opponents of tbe Irby Evnnn faction say that Evans and Pope will doubtless be tbe only two candidates present. Mr. Evans says bo will cer? tainly be there; he always goes where tbe people want him. He endorses now what tbe Governor has said above on the "Colleton idea." Mr. John Gary Evans, the recognized candidate of the Irby faction, arrived in tbe city Thursday night, and yesterday he bad a long consultation with the Governor. No doubt' be came bere to see and hear from the Governor himself it what has been said about tbe Chief Executive dropping off tbe fence was so, and to find out wbatall these recent occurrences mean. Anyhow, Mr. Evans dined with the Governor, and will not leave here for a day or two. Greater New York. New York, Febi uary 28.?Now, that tbe bill consolidating New York and Brooklyn has passed both houses of the legislature and has received the gov? ernor's signature, public opinion solidly endorses it. Brooklyn has more than 1,000,000 in? habitants, and is altogether too large and important a city to be sidetracked as a suburb of New York. When the pro? visions of the enabling act are carried out and voted upon, the greater New York, as tbe newspapers call it, will have a population or 3,000.000, and an aroa of about 123 square miles. Unquestionably tbis consolidation is in tbe interest of peace and order, econo? my, and good government. Several other towns besides Brooklyn will be in tbe annexed district, and'when tbe union be? comes an accomplished fact the new city will rank with London, Paris and Ber? lin, leading all but Londou. Tbe subur? ban towns will be freed from tbeir vil? lage shackles, and will become a part of one of tbe greatest cities on the globe. Tbe annexation takes in Brooklyn, Long Island City, tbe towns of Kings county, Flushing, Newtown, Jamaica, Westches ter county and portions of the towns of East Chester, Pelham, Hempstead and Richmond county. The people of these communities will vote on the question in November next. Greater New Y^rk will probably con? tinue under democratic rule, and will bo the model city of the world so far as good government and economy are con? cerned, while its wealth and vast inter? ests will make it the leading commercial and financial center. Consolidation is the order of the day in business and in municipal afiairs, and it is safe to say that other American cities with populous Buburbs will very soon follow the example of New York. Such combina? tions make government less expensive and furnish the united communities with all the conveniences of civilization at a smaller cost than would be the case under separate government. I The Yorkvllle Yeoman of yesterday tells a good one on Sam Milling, who has been operating on tbe North Caro? lina line. According to our contem? porary, a day or two ago Sam spied a covered wagon and went up and asked the driver what he had. The reply was "whiskey and apples." He requested to see it, and was told to hitch np his horse and crawl in, whioh he did with an alaclty that was commendable even in an of?cer of tbe law. He plunged around in the fodder a while and uncovered a one gallon jug and a five gallon keg of whiskey, .which was sufficient to his mind, and he thought he wonld get ont and carry out tbe rest of his programme by arresting tbe whole outfit, but not so. As be raised his eyes and looked at tbe driver, he found himself looking into tbe muzzle of a revolvar. Turning around, he saw a man with another at tbe rear end of tbe wagon. They suggested that it would be well for him to be quiet and keep his seat, and that he did so goes without saying. The wagon was turned toward North Carolinaand drivon rapidly for four or five miles. After getting a ?ood piece into "tar heel" territory, the river halted the wagon and told Mr. Milling that he could get out, retrace the route by foot and see If be could find tbe horse that had been left bebind him. A tiresome walk brought him to the scene of the beginning ot his adventure, where he found his horse as he bad left him. He mounted the animal and rode down nearly to Yorkvllle, got some oompany and went back to watch for tbe return of the slick moonshiners, whose nerve saved their property from confiscation and themselves a term in York jail.? Bock Hill Herald. Death of Gen. Jubul A, Early. Lynghburg, Va., March 2.?United States Senator John W. Daniel walked Into the News office at 11 o'clock to-night and in a sad voice announced that bis old commander, Gen. Jubai A. Early, at whose bedside be. had been a constant watcher for some days, had gone to bis eternal reward. Gen. Early died at .10.30. He passed away quietly in tbo preuence of his family and physician, bis kindred and several intimate friends. The old General seemed aware of bis approaching end early in the day. Be? fore noon he called for the morning pa? per as was his invariable custom, and attempted to read, but found that his sight was falling. Soon after be extended his bond to Senator Daniel and calmly said: "I want to tell you good-bye., Ma? jor." He then bid his nephew, Cabell Early, farewell, after which be fell into a auiet slumber. Later in tbe day tbe ying veteran asked Senntor Daniel not to leave tbe room, as he -wanted to talk with him about certain arrangements ; but from that time be Buffered such in? tense pain tbat be did not revive the sub? ject. He met death unflinchingly, with bis hand resting quietly in Senator Dan? iel's. , He Loved the Sister. Greenville, S. C, February 28.?A shooting scrape took place on Monday night twelve miles above Greenville, near Traveler's Rest, which may result In tbe death of an excellent young man. Rufus Nix, who is addicted to whiskey, bad been paying attention for some time to Miss Poole. Her mother objected to his attention and forbade bis visiting ber bouse. On Monday nicht Jerry Haw? kins gave a party and Nix, Miss Poole and her two brothers were present. Nix was attentive to tbe girl and her brother went to ber and took her away to another part of tbe room. Nix was enraged and swore he would lick the whole Poole layout Tbe Poole boys went out to bitch up their horses to go borne and Nix followed them Into the yard. Just what look place no one knows, only Nix was very profane and abusive and drew bis pistol and commenced firing at Walter Poole. Three bullets took effect, one in the stomach, which may cause death; one in tbe breast, and tbe third made a slight fiesh wound. Tbe Fool es were unarmed. Nix bas not yet been arrest? ed. Killed by au Electric Current. Selma Ala., Feb. 27.?A horrible accident occurred tbis evening at 0o'clock in tbe rear of Oberndorf Ullman's dry goods house, on Broad street, in which Ed Martin, colored, lost his life. He ascended the electric light pole to cut tbe wire to remove one of tbe boxes when, although twice warned by Mr. Smith, the foreman, who was on tbe ground, of his carelessness, ho applied tbe pliers to cut tbe wire and laid his other hand upon the transformer, which caused tbe 1,400 volts to pass through him, Mr. Smith having at tbe moment turned his eyes, hoard a ?eculiar utterance, looked up and saw [artin drawn to tbe pole with feet ex? tending in the air and a stream of fire gushing from his mouth and nostrils. The current causing his grasp to relax and he fell, striking across tbe half-op en iron shutter with the small of his back. When picked up be was to all appear? ance dead, but three hours later he is still breathing, but with no hopes of recovery. S. H. Clifford, New Cassell.

Sold by Hill Bros. ? Mr. Jesse Spright, one of tbe most prominent citizens of Pitt County, N. C. is tbe authority for tbe statement tbat Greene county, in bis State, is the home of one of tbe most remarkable freaks of nature this country has probably ever produced. Tbis freak is the seven-year old son of Mr. Lassiter, a farmer of Green County. Around tbe pupils of each of tbe boy's eyos, in circular shape, is tbe word "America," in perfect char? acters. Tbe boy's eyes are dark and tbe letters brown and legible upon a close inspection. This wonderful phenomenon is a birth-mark. Mr. Sprigbt's testimony is borne out, it is asserted, by other veracious citizens who have examined the boy. Tough Tar Heels; Specimen Cases. had a running sore IiOOAIi NEWS, COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE. 'Squire Fewell Relates the Happenings of ills Neighborhood. TliBsnow came just in time to save our oats thai were beginning to come up. So I reckon the old saying that ' ill is the wind that blows no good" is as true as ever. Fall sown oats aud wbost have a fine appearance since tho snow molted off. I have been thinkiug a long time of giving the readers of the Intelligencer my plan of making com. So I reckon as it is nearly time to plant I had better ad? vise them now. My p!au is this (and it is not a mere theory): Commence now us 60ou us your stuuble land is roady (for that is the kind of land to plant)?that is dry enough to plow?take a good, Ions subsoil or bull tongne plow and lay off your rows from five to sis feet apart ; if the land is poor say six or seven feet, then take a "Boy Dixie" plow, or any Port of a good one-horse turn plow and bed the land up, and when you gtt ready to plant, say about tbe last of March or "the first of April, open furrow on top of bed with a shovel plow and put from one to two or three two horse wagon loads of good com? post, made of stable and cow lot manure mixed with a little cotton seed acid phos? phate, to the aero. One good load to the acre doeH very wofl, but two or three will do better, if you have it. Strow it all along tbe furrow in the drill, and don't put It down in piles in the hill. Plant or drop your com on it in hill? from three to four feet apart, and cover with a double foot, but don't cover too deep, for corn is considerably stunted by being covered too deep. You bad better drop two or three grains to tho hill to insure a good stand tho first planting, for it don't pay to have to replant corn?it don't do much good or at least it never did for me. After your corn comes up and gets four or five leaves or blades on it, take a cultivator or side hat row and "ruu around" it. Ia about a week more plow with a short plow and beel Bweep, aud continue to plow every two weeks until yon have given it four plowing, including the first one with tbe cultivator. Follow these instructions closely, and if you don't make a good crop of corn and plenty of it, I will take the blame if you will put in enough of land to make it. You already know how to make plenty of ootton, so I will cot advise you ou that. If we will make our own living ?that ia our bread and meat and vegeta bles and all of our stock feed and then make all the cotton we can?we would certainly be more prosperous than we are when we make all cotton. You don't have to go to another State to have this demonstrated to you. You can see right here in our own County. Look at some one in your neighborhood who has made a success at farming and you can see what docs it and how he succeeds. He didn't do it making all cotton and no grain. But the most astonishing fact about it is this: We all know it and yet we go on as if we didn't know it. You have found the oldest man in tho County, and now want to know the oldest lady. Mrs. Eliza Lee, relict of Phillip Lee, is now in her ninetieth year, baviog celebrated her eighty-ninth birth? day tbe 26tb of February. She is the mother of twelve children, the grand? mother of forty, and tbe great-grand? mother of ninety-eight, and tbe great great-graudmother of one, making in all one hundred and fifty-one descendants. I have no doubt but there are older ones, but they are not very numerous. Rev. 8. J. Cowan, the WesJeyan Metho? dist evangelist, has become a citizen ol the little suburban village of Piedmont, commonly called Simpsouville. We hope his presence with us may accomplish much good. Mumps aro still going the rounds in Piedmont. There are so many moving in and out tbsro that some one on the place bas them nearly all the time. The venerable Smallwood Dalton, one of Grove Station's oldest citizens, departed this life on last Thursday night, after long and painful illness of dropsy and heart failure. He had been a constant sufferer for several months p.eco ling his death, which he bore with Christian pa? tience and fortitude Besides his great suffering, he has been deprived of bis sight fi?r several years, which must have bec-u very unpleasant to bim, but, with all these afflictions heaped upon him be, like Job of old, bore them with patience und resignation to the last. Mr. Dalton would have Boon turned lato bis eightieth year. He has been married sixty-three years? has been a member of the Baptist Church for a number of years?having been a doa con of the Grove Station Baptist Church since its organization in 1854. He was one of tbe charter members of Grove Sta ti>.n Lodge; A. F. M., No. 1G6, aud has been a Mason for thirty odd years. Surely a good man bas gone?one whom tbe peo? ple of bis immediate vicinity will greatly mist. His rouiuins were interred iu the Grove Station Cometory by the Masouio fraternity, after appropriate funeral ser? vices at the Church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Montgomery. We ex? tend to the bereaved family our heart-felt sympathy in ubeir sore affliction. Squire Fewel. iBeulah Items. February has come to a close. Our minds have been deeply interested study ing of the life of our great hero, whose birthday came on the 22nd ult , and to whose name our nation has honored with a national bolliday. We think of that poor Virginia boy who was left fatherless ateloven years ot age, his educational ad vantages very limited, his studies in school never exceeded reading, writing and arithmetic. At an early age Wash? ington drew up r code of every-day laws which he daily obeyed He had great reverence and respect for bis parents When he was fourteon years old, through the influence of bis brother Lawrence, an appointment as midshipman was secured fur him- Hid trunk was packed and be was ready to say fare* ell to his mother and go on board the ship. Sbe would not consent. She never approved of his going into tbe navy. U is trunk was unpacked, the clothes put away iu order, and tbe obedient son was satisfied with bis moth? er's decision. Ho was at all times truthful, and when be had ruined his father's favorite fruit tree with bis little hatchet, his father asked about it, and bis noble and patriotic words were "Father, I did it." Every? thing be undertook he did it woll aud to the point. His manuscript school book?, which still exist, are models of neatness and accuracy. Alan early ago, bis mind and heart, instilled with the great funda? mental principles of God's supremacy, he became intensely religious, and often be? fore entering battle be was often found on his knees supplicating to Almighty God. In 1789, when Washington was first inau? gurated President at Federal Hall, in New York City, his journey from Virginia to New York was ao ovation. All the way men, women and children walked for miles to see him pass (he road. Even old men left their plows and went over hills and fields to weep like children. When Washington appeared the sick were lifted from their beds and held at windows to see "the 6aviour of their country." Upon his arrival at New York City thirteen beautiful young ladies, dressed in white, met him. walked before bis carriage and sang Bongs and scattered flowers in tbe roadway. On entering tbe hall an open Bible lay before him on which Washing? ton rested his hand. In grand silence of the people tbe chancellor spoke tbe words of the oath of office. The Bible was held up. Waebiugtou kissed its pages and with closed eyes said; "I swear, so help me God." Tbe Chancellor turned to the crowd and Baid loudly, "Jive long Oeorge Washington, President of the United State*." Washington was then fifty-seven years old. Elevon years afterward he suddenly died at Mt. Vern.^n, his home. Few men were ever so loved or so deeply mourned. Tbe day of his birth is always honored as set apart by tbe Government to be celebrated as a National holiday. True is tbe saying, "tall oaks from little acorns grow." Watch tbe culture. The health of our-community is very good, except that of Mr. and Mrs. Wm Callaham, who have been very ill for some time, but' we are glad to state they are convalescing. Rev. N. G. Ballinger preaohed an inter? esting sermon at this place on last Sunday Our people are highly pleased with him as pastor. We were glad to eoq our faithful old friends, Mr, and Mrs. J. C. Smith, at their post in Sunday School and Church last Sunday. They have been in bad health fur some time, but are getting well enough to be about again. Abe Stubbins. Viola Items. Mr. Ernest McWhorter, of Pickens, who has been visiting relatives and friends in our community, has returned home. Come again, Ernest. Mr. J. B. Baseman, of Furman Univer? sity, made a flying trip to our community last Saturday on his wheel. lie had a nice time getting to the depot, through the suow, Sunday evening. His girl was, of course, very sorry he had to gu. Come again, Mr. Bosetnan, when tbe weather change0. Mrs. Strickland has been calUd away to the bedside of her sick daughter, Mrs. Findley, of Pickens. We are sorry to hear of the illness of Mrs. Findley. Some of tbe ladies are lamenting tbe death of their flowers, which took place during the past cold snap. One of our young men pays it is bad to miss that bou? quet on the first Sunday; which sbe prom? ised him. The health of our community, at pres ent, is very good, except a case or two of I tbe mumps. We buvo no weddings to report this week, but we don't know what the near future may bring forth, if Arthur contin ue?to go across the creek, and Wei born continues to ride h:3 wheel the same old path. Teody Choicer. Sittings from Triangle. Having seon no items from Triangle, as yet, Mr. Editor, wo conclude that wo must not get too far behind, so will give you a few of the happenings in this im? mediate vicinity. Hoping, however, that they may escape the waste-basket. Wo are at this writing, being blessed with some very tine weather, and on every side the whoop of the plowman, tbe twitter of the blue-bird, and the sweet, balmy air, accompanied by the beautiful, bright sunshine, are to be beard, felt and scon, all of which toll of that pleasant season of the year which is near at hand?spring?echo answers "spring"?when everything takes on now life and new fruit. This is true in vegetable as well as animal life. All farmers are now beginning to stir up tbe soil, preparing for another crop and thoy seem to be in dead earnest about it, and havo all their energy and zeal thrown into thoir work. Right. "That which we do, do with our might." It is with mingled ieelings of sorrow and gladness that we note the recent ill? ness of Miss Nannie Major. Of sorrow, because we are always sorry to bear of any of our friends being ill, and of glad? ness, because wo aro glad to know that she is rapidly improving, and with caro and attention will soon be able to be out again. We do hope that iho grip has ''lost its grip" and that Miss Nannie will Boon be out again. Tho neighborhood was well represent? ed here on last Saturday and Sunday? especially Sunday?there was a large crowd here. Rev. William Brown preached an excellent and instructive sermon, taking for his text Gen. 13 9, and preaching from the word "choice" as a subject. Ho made it appear very plain that our choice while on earth is our destiny for the future. On next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock there will be a mooting here for tbe pur? pose ot appointing or electing a Superin? tendent lor our Sunday School, and lot us all turn out, young and old, for tbis is a work in which we should all be engaged. Let us go prepared to evpress our opinion as to who we want for a Su? perintendent, and let tbe person on whom the people decide for tbis office, be per? fectly willing and ready to discbarge bis duty to tbe best of bis ability. We noticed in our midst last Sunday several of the Neal's Creek boys and girls. Miss Lizzie Kay, Hoskell and Eu? gene Kay, all spent a few pleasant hours with Misses Mallie and Addie Cobb. We are always glad to welcome our neigh? boring friends in our little town. Well, as nearly every newspaper you can pick up nowadays has several puz? zles, rebuses, etc., in it, I will give one for the Triangle boys. And boys do your very best on this one, for the lucky man (if any there be) is going to obtain some valuable property tbat won't cost him a single red. Here is tbe rebus:? To all you young men,' Who ramble out with me, I'll give a little counsel, And guarantee it free. Now, just let me tell you, In all your midnight rambles, Don't bang your hat upon tho rack When you call at Mr. You may not heed this counsel, And call me a groat deceiver. But just so Bure as you hang it there, You're bound to lose your Hide your lap-robe iu tho bushes, Keep yonr hat upon your bead, Don't let the old folks fool you And make you think they've gone to "If vou will heed this counsel, From now till you get wedded, Yon'll never havo to leave a place, And say you left baro-? "But try your luck again, boys, Never give up tho fight, Although you lost your bat and robe When you called tbe other-night. "Now be careful how you talk, boys, You know 'twas done by a rake, And not by R. S. and E., Neither by Mr.-." The above-mentioned rebus consists in properly filling out tbe above five blanks, together with tbe proper or correct name in my address, which will be given be? low. All persons sending in correct an? swers to tbis rebus by July 4th, '94, will receive a premium iu tbe shape of a fine lap-robe and beaver bat. Of course you will readily observe tbat if you should happen to fill all five of tbe above blanks properly, and then insert the proper name in my address, you would lose tbe I whole business, and all of your bard, keen and active thinking would avail you nothing. Tbis is my address: Mr.-, Anderson, S. C. Yink. Moseley Items. Appointments and disappointments are still the order of the day. The latter especially describes what Mr. Albert Bowie felt the other day when he was down hero looking for the town and in? quiring for tho Moseley correspondent. No, our place is not as large as Augusta yet, but despite tbe fact tbat some of our poople have left recently, some to Au? gusta, to Mississippi and to Texas, while others say they ure going next fall, yet wo cling to our belief that Barnes will some day bo a town that we will all be proud of. Come down again, Mr. Albert, stay as long as you please and leave when you get ready. Mr. Charley Watson from Dean's pass? ed through here yesterday on bis way to Lowndesville. Tho grist mill purchased by W. T. McGce is now in good running order, and he will be pleased to serve bis friends and customers every Friday. B. A. Wiles, after spending two months here with bis relatives and friends, re? turned to Mississippi last week, where he will reside in tho future. Capt. W. C. Hancock left last Wednes? day a. m. for Augusta, Ga , where be will take charge of the Electric Line. But we oxpect to see bim again occasion? ally, because there is a young lady near here who we will not accuse of breaking bis heart but just cracked the "veneer? ing." Guess you know, ?Mr. Editor, what I mean, but if you don't I do. Mrs. Robt. Gray who has been ill with pneumonia for several days is better at this writing. Mrs. E. J. Stevenson and family left here tbe 1st inst., for Jefferson, Texas., where she will join ber husband, be having gone there early in December. Thoy leave many friends and relatives who wish them prosperity in their new borne. Our Messrs. Smiths are being annoyed by something which they say looks like an old mule tbat is constantly being bitched in front of their place of business where be is left for several hours at a time. Thoy have reported to the com mittoe for the prevention of cruelty to animals, and somebody about tbe size of Mr. F. S. bad better be a little more con? siderate in the future. In connection with what has been said about the dispensary in the various news? papers, we beg to offer the following sug? gestion : Start a dispensary in your own bouse, be the only oustomer and you will have no license to pay. Go to your wife and give her ?2 to buy a gallon of whis? key, and remember there aro sixty drinks in a gallon. You make it your business every time you are thirsty to buy a drink from yonr wife, and by tbe time you have drank up the 1st gallon your "wife will have tbe $2 to pay you back, 52 to put in the bank and ?2 to start in business again, and should you bap pen to live ton years and continue to buy booze from your wife and die at tbe ex? piration of that time with the snakes in your socks, she will have money enough to bury you decently, buy a good bouse and lot, educate your children and marry some respectable man, and never do bothered thinking about you. Try it and see bow tbe thing will pan out. Pedro. Iola Dots. Tho farmers are getting behind with their work on account of so much rain. Some of our farmers have got their guano home and ready to put iu the ground as soon as it gets dry enough. Iu some places tbe roads are almost im? passable. I agree with the Robert's cor? respondent about the County Commis? sioners using tbe convicts on the public roads. I think it would be oue of the best things they could do. We had a very bad snow storm through tbis section on the 24th and 23th ult. It was about six inches deep at this place. The small grain crops through here look very well, although some of our farmers say they don't think this will be a good year. Woll, Mr. Editor, I see tbat Gov. Till man and bis spies are having some trouble about the dispensary law, but I did not ex? pect anything else when it went into ef? fect. Heron, tbe little slx-montbs-old infant of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Holland, died on the 22nd inst., after an illness of several weeks. It was buried at Lebanon on tbe day following its deatb, tbe funeral ser? vices being conducted by Rev. W. B, Hawkins. The parents have many sym? pathizers in their sore bereavement. The health of our people is very good at this writing. Mr. Clarence Bnrriss. of this place, is going to school at Fort Hill. Can some of the correspondents toll me where the shortest verse in tho Bible can be found ? I think the wedding bell will be ringing poon, from the wt-y some of our young people ere riding about on Suuday after? noons. Best wishes to the Iktellioekoeb. Roberts News. The snow has about disappeared and we are having some fine weather just now. We havu had so much bad weather that very little work has been done, especially in tho preparation for our crops. We have bad only one day in three weeks that would do to plow. But tho weather has changed, it is liko spring now, and corn planting time will soon bo here. Some of our farmers talk of plant? ing next week. Some think that the recent cold snap has killed the fruit, but we hope they are mistaken. I don't think that the buds were far-enough advanced for the cold wave and i don't think either that it was cold enough to kill fruit in the bud. Mr. S. A. Jones has done some excel? lent terracing on his place this winter. Ho doesn't do things by halves when he goes at it. And if you want to see some good terraces drive around and take a look at his. Mr. J. P. Anderson has been to Foun? tain Inn, Greenville County, recently to eoo his mother, who has for sometime past been in bad health. IIo says that sho is not oxpectod to live long. Her many friends will regret to hear that she is no better. Mr. W. T. Cook, after spending the winter at his father's in Bowcrsville, Ga., has returned and will mako his home with us this year. lie reports a pleasant stay on the Georgia side. Miss Jane McLees, an aged lady of this community, died last week, iler ro rnains were interred in tho Roberts cemetery on Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock, tho Rev. R. C. Ligon conducting tho funeral sorvices. She had long been a consistant member of Roberts Presby? terian Church, Our friend Mr. "Grit" wants better roads, but I think he is going the wrong way to get them. Why should we have a road tax to hire labor to put our public highways in good condition, when we can have it done with convicts that we can not only get but really belong to the county, and all the county would have to do is to board and clothe them and pro? vide convict camps and guard, who could also answer as overseer. The cost of establishing and maintaining fucu camps would'be over paid for by good public highways. And as our now county gov? ernment law is to come into operation next yoar we should try, and not only try, but get tho convict labor that rightly belongs to the county. I '.hink Mr. "Grit" will agree with me at-mt the con? vict busiuess, and so let us hear from the other correspondents about utilizing the convicts for county purposes. Rob Roy. Lebanon Items. Well, the beautiful snow has come end gone, and now the farmers arc ready and anxious to be up and doing. This morn? ing I hear thorn as they go to their work hallooing and sinking liko they mean business, and vetily it is time, for the spring time is neirlj here aud scarcely anything done towards making another crop, save a large amount of fertilizer be? ing hauled for mioihur b:g crop of cotton. Small grain is looking very well in this section; the snow sei ins to have doue it good. Mr. Baxter Heatou'd aou, Robwrt, had the misfortune to buvo a tree fall on his head week before last, inflicting a bad bruise, but Dr. J. G. Duckworth has him up and nearly well. There was a party in the community re? cently and two brothers, both membeis of Lebanon Church, were invited, also their sister. One brother went and begged his tister to go; the other begged bor to stay with him at borne. Which of the brothers wielded a better influence? The good people of Lebanon have re? cently organized aprayor meeting, which meets every Saturday night. And the burdens of their hearts seem to be for those yoi n^ members who were recently excluded from the Church for dancing, and for tho spiritual welfare of the Church generally. We hopo the straying lambs will soon come flocking back to the fold, and that much good may be accomplished. We are glad to know that Prof. Holland is able to bo in the school room again, after a severe attack of ''grip." While God saw fit to restore him to health, yet in His wisdom He took the lovely little infant daughter to Himself. While we rejoice to know that the llttlo child is freed from sorrow and affliction, yet we deeply sympathize with the bereaved pa? rents. The little child is a bright star to draw us nearer to our Ueaveuly Master, who doetb all things well. It is most train time and I'll have to de? sist for the present. I will say, however, I hope the editors of the Intelligencer didn't get frost bitten last week. ^ Hopeful ?

Our purpose is to do part of the business, not by cutting price3 and destroying what little profit there is in it, but by keeping in stock, as nearly as we can find it out, what the people want, and in such quan? tities that when the color is selected and the cont-act given out, the Paint can be had without delay. Of course we don't expect to sell all the Paint sold here, or even nearly all of it. No onie concern can do that. Nor do we claim to bo the only bouse in Town hand? ling good Paini and plenty of it.

We mean bnsiness, and if you don't .be? lieve it try us. Men say : "Yes, my bouse needs paint? ing, but I can't afford to have it done now. It is true the rain and wind are wearing it away, and it is rottincr and going to ruin, but times are too bard, and besides Paint is a loxury that only the rich can afford to enjoy!"
