Congress sdjourned.yesterday, after a long and.tedious session; The State Alliance of Georgia has diB ? banded and gone out of business. Tho n?sou gtVen for this is, "too much "politics." . ? m 9 ^ The boll worm is playing havoo with cotton in some portions of the West. Whole fields are being completely de? stroyed. It is to be hoped that South Carolina will be spared this calamity. The populist candidate for governor of Arkansas is rendered ineligible So office by his failure to pay a poll tax, in which regard he is three years delinquent. And there are said to bo several other ]x>pnlisi Eominecsin the Toothpick State in the same fix. _ ?The strike is s.Jl going on. On the 20th insC, the cotton operatives of New Bedford, Mass., inaugurated their gen er? at strike and nearly 11,000 are idle. The machinery of but five of the twenty-seven mills In the city will be ahnt down with : the others._ _._ The Democratic State conventions of Indiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Florida and Texas have all recently endorsed President Cleveland. Ex-Senator Rea? gan, of Texas, an' anti-Cleveland' man. i was defeated for the Democratic nomina ?tiuu fur Governor; - The very best news now in the com? mercial reports come from the South. The people are less in debt than formerly, business is picking up, many new indus? tries are being established, and old ones improved, and the crops promise to be the finest in many years. Miss Emma Bates, candidate for Sup? erintendent of Public Schools in Michi? gan, has made a deal with her formida? ble opponent by which he withdraws from the- race, stumps the State in her behalf, and if she is elected will become h er chief clerk and her husband. A medical writer suggests that the ad? mittedly large increase in crimes of vio? lence and in suicides the past two months has been due to the fact that the scarcity . and deamess of fruit in our markets have compelled more flesh eating than usual. This assumes/of course, that animal food stimulates .the passions and arouses the latent beast in mankind. The new tariff* bill became a law last Monday night at 12 o'clock. President Cleveland failed to sign the bill, and throws the responsibility of its passage on the Senate. In a letter published in the daily press yesterday, and addressed to Congressman Etchings, of Mississippi, he gives his reasons for not signing the bill, and they are good ones, ton. The Attorney General of "the State and the city of Alk on have agreed to take Judgs Aldrich's decision and make a test case of the Dispensary law before the Su? preme Court, The Chief Justice has been requested to call an extra session of the Court and ho will probably, do so In a day or two. The point in the case has already been filed with the Clerk of v the Court, and an early decision is ex expected. " To the August numbers of the North American Rcvieit> Secretary Hoke Smith scontributes an exceedingly interesting andvaluablo article on*"The Resources and Development of the South.", Mr. Smith is conversant with the-condition of the South, its needs, and the progress itMs" making' industrially, and BUCrTan article from his pen will be given good attention in every section of the country where it Is read. A Georgia exchange, after a careful pe? rusal of the tariff bill, says there are some people whom you like bette r the better you know them. So it is with the Senate tariff MIL The better you get acquainted with its features the batter y3u will like It. It puts cotton bagging oa the free list txid reduces the tariff on all the necessaries of life. It will save millions annually to the men who carry their dinner In a tin pail. Receiver Comer, of the Central Rail? road, has lost his salt in which he tried to make the Port Royal and Western Carolina Railroad pay back the amount the Central paid out for operating expen? ses, 'betterments and interest on the Au? gust! and Knoxvllle bonds daring part of the time the Port Royal and Western Carolina was under - the Central's con? trol. The case went to the United States Court, before Judge Simonton of-the Charleston circuit. The arguments were heard two weeks ago by the Judgy np in the North Carolina mountains, and the decision was rendered last week. Last Monday morning the following telegram was received, by the Secretary of the State Executive Committee in Columbia front Senator Butler: "I here? by withdraw my letter filed you on Jane 16th, announcing my candidacy for the United States Senate." In the letter to which he referred he announced himself as a candidate for the United States Senate, asked for a separate box in which the people might declare their choice for United States Senator, and pledged him? self to abide by the result of the primary. Nobody seems to know what it means, bat we believe there will be some devel? opments in a few days. There Is but little news to report in connection with the war between China and Jap m. Both nations are stirred from center to circumference, and while as yet little fighting has been done, ex? cept on the water, preparations are being made for war on a gigantic scale. In Ja? pan the war is engrossing everything, and a martial spirit prevades the whole people, high and low. It has not yet been necessary to conscript anybody, . nor is there any demand for substitute?. The able bodied men are volunteering by the tens of thousands, and they are all apparently spoiling for a fight. The Chinese are reported as being confident of -winning, if in no other way, on account of their numbers. They outnumber the Japs almost 20 to 1. They profess also to look upon the Japs with great contempt, holding that they are descended from monkeys. Both nations are buying im? mense quantities of improved arms abroad. For several weeks, most of the fighting will be on the sea. When one or the other of the countries, however, succeeds in making a landing, a great battle will no doubt follow in short or? der. In the result, people of this oountry may look for something terrible. _Here is a schoolboy's definition of eternity: When cur ships all come in; -when the sea gives up her dead; when Father Time hangs up his scythe; when the heavens are rolled np like a scroll; -when Gabriel blows the ram's horn; when the solar system collapaes; when we find the lost Charlie Ross and the man who struck Billy Patterson; when Johnny gets his gun; when society be? comes pure, and (*after the ball is over"? then will be eternity. THE ST A Tis P Ii ESS ASSOCIATION. The South Carolina State Press Associa? tion convened in its 20th annual session on Pawley's Island on the 17th iast. Ow? ing to many unavoidable circumstances the attendance was not at large as usual, but the meeting nevertheless was one of the moat enjoyable we have ever attended. The major portion of our gang assem? bled in Charleston on the night of the 15; h inst, where we were met by Secretary Prince, who escorted us at once to the wharf of the South Carolina Steamboat Company. Here we boarded the steamer Planter, which had been placed entirely at the dis? posal of the editors, and were cordially re calved by Capt. .Uubbard, the genial, ac? commodating officer in charge. We were assigned to state rooms and, in the small hours of the morning, steamed out for Georgetown. But there was little sleep on board that night, as the bright moonlight and placid waters were too tempting, and the editors kept their eyes open viewing the beautiful scenery. The sea was so smooth that not one of the party felt the least sea sick. At 8 o'clock the hungry pencil pushers partook of an elegant breakfast on the steamer. We made the trip from Charleston to Georgetown in about nine hours. On the way the steam? er made a short stop'at South Inland, and : here we had an opportunity of seeing the sturgeon packing industry. The big fish Iare caught off the Island in great quanti? ties. They are butchered on the wharf in a slaughter bouse, erected for the purpose, and the flesh is. shipped to New York, where it is sold at one and one half cents a pound. The fish will yield on an average about one hundred pounds each. It was exceedingly interesting to see the negroes butchering these big fish. Shortly after leaving the Island we were met by Editor boar, of the Georgetown Times, who had. come down the bay in a small boat. He was cordially greeted, and at once announc? ed that the citizens of Georgetown propos? ed to care for us the remainder of the day and that night. We bad been to George? town before, and knew something of the generous hospitality of her olever citizens. We reached Georgetown about 12 m. and were met by the reception Committee, who - assigned us to the various hotels" there. That afternoon we were entertained in various ways, and at night enjoyed a most delightful moonlight excursion down the bay to North Island. On board there was music, dancing and refreshments, and at 3 o'clock wo landed again In the city. Ev? erybody, of course, bad a good time. Early next morning we boarded the handsome new tug "Win. M. P. Congdon," and wore conveyed up the Waccamaw River to Waverly Mills, about sixteen miles from Georgetown. Here we landed, and after a abort drive reached the Paw ley's Island Hotel, where we were most cordially welcomed by the proprietress, Urs. Winthrop Williams, formerly of Co? lumbia, who knows how to please and en* liven her guests to perfection. ; At noon the Press Association convened in the armory of the Manigault Light Dragoons, which bad been kindly tender? ed ua by the Company. The business of the Association was disposed of in two days?Friday and Saturday?and ia of no interest to the general public. In addition to the routine business and other matters Pertaining to the work of the Association, the following interesting papers were read: "The Country Press as an Educator," by B, T. Jaynes, of Walhalla; "The Advan? tages to Country Editors in Being Practi? cal Printers," by S. A. Nettles, of Man? ning; ''The Press and Public Opinion," by Hubert G. Osteen, of Sumter. The fol? lowing officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, E H Aull, of the New* bsrry Herald and News; First Vice-Presi? dent, Hart well M. Ay er, of the Charleston Evening Post; Second Ylce-Preeident, Hu? bert G. Osteen, of the Sumter Watchman and Southron ; Secretary, O. C. Laogston, of the Anderson Intelligencer; Treasurer, Franz Melobers, of the Charleston Deutch Zeitung: Chaplain, Sldi H. Brown, of the Columbia Christian Neighbor. Executive Committee: The above officers and N. G. Gonzales, A. J. Clark and G P. Browne. The thanks of the Association were ten? dered the Railroads, tbe South Carolina. Steamboat Company and others for cour-* tesies extended to- the members. Those members who were not present missed an interesting meeting and a most enjoyable time. Some of tbe members were com pelled to return home Monday, but the others remained on the Island a week. Pawley's Island is an old resort for both summer and winter, and was first settled by the rice planters on the Coast Counties of that section, as there are quite a num? ber of cottages on it Tbe Island is sepa? rat ed from the mainland by a marsh and a big Creek, and has been crowded with vis? itors from this and several distant States this summer. The beach front is on the ! east aide of the Island, and is between three and four miles in length. The hotel and cottages are on the west side, and are protected from the storms of the sea by a range of sand banks, or mountains, cov? ered in places with moss, grass and trees, and from twenty-five to seventy-five feet above the high tide mark. It is tbe pret? tiest and safest beach we have ever visited on the Son th Atlantic coast, and were it not for the inconvenience of getting to and from there, it would have long ago been a famous seaside resort The members of tbe Association were more than charmed with the laland. The ceaseless roar ol tbe waves and the contin? uous delightful salt water breeze, which cools the atmosphere and invigorates tbe individual, brings comfort and joy throughout both day and night, oaueing sweet,'uninterrupted Bleep and creating an appetite that is hard to satisfy. Tbe surf bathing is fine, and all of our party, both male and female, would not be satisfied with less than three or four baths a day. There are an abundance of fish, oysters, crabs and shrimps on tbe Island, and those of us who enjoyed eating such things feasted on them three times a day. A short ride across to the mainland affords the fin? est deer hunting in tbe country, and there are plenty of wild ducks, rice birds and other game to amuse sportsmen. One of tbe most remarkable things connected with the Inland is the fact that it is not inhabi? ted by mosquitoe?,.and has but few files. During oar stay on the Island the weath? er 5was most delightful, with beautiful moonlight nights, and for the time being we almost forgot the hardships, troubles and vexations of a poor country editor's life. Mrs. Williams treated all of us so kindly that time passed too rapidly, and our only regret is that we could not have remained there for a month or two longer. Tbe Association accepted the invitation of tbe citizens of Sumter, S. C, and will hold its meeting there next year. Falrfleld Will Fight. WiNNsnono, Aug 25.?There is going to be a fight in Fair fiel i, and a very hot one too. At a meeting to-day of dele? gates from nine Straightout Democratic clubs of the strictest sect, it was decided to call a convention to meet on September 10th for tbe purpose of nominating a county ticket The Straightouts in this county will refrain from voting in the primary Tues? day and the ticket to be put out will be supported in tbe November election. . The county is being organized system? atically and tbe Straightouts are going into the fight to win. I have no idea as to tbe personnel of tbe proponed ticket, bat that it will be a strong one goes without Baying. These clubs are being organized under the Democratic constitution adopted prior to 1890.?Special to the State. ?No appetite? Then do not try to force food down; lout use the most scien? tific means for restoring tone to the stomach. How? Why, by taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and in a surprisingly short time, your appetite will come again, and come to stay. Dr, Tope's With lira wal from the Primary. On last Thursday, Dr. Sampson Pope gave to the press the following card an? nouncing his withdrawal from the Guber? natorial race in the primary election, which took placo yesterday. The Doctor is one of the original members ot the Reform faction, and this card should bo read carefully by every white man who is capable of doing his own thinking: To the Democratic Voters of South Carolina: I am in receipt of numerous letters from citizens of different counties in this State notifying me that hundreds of reformers desire to vote for me, but that no ticket has been gotten out. The truth is, the machinery of the reform movement is in the hands of the "ring* and voters are so much afraid of the party that whilst they aro willing and anxious to vote for me they are afraid to allow ; their names to appear on a ticket. This is a deplorable state of affairs and only goes to show how despotically they are ruled. Under this state ot things it will be impossible for me to get out a ticket in tne majority of the counties and there? fore it will be foolish for me to longer continue :;.n the race for governor. I have this day withdrawn my pledge from the State executive committee and take this opportunity to say that I will not be a candidate at the primary. Forty thousand reformers and 32,000 conserva? tives are virtually disfranchised and 14, OOOringsters dictate who shall hold the offices. X saw the danger of this and when the conservatives, in a desire to perpetu? ate white supremacy in this State and to conciliate the majority with a view to peace, proposed that if they were allowod to cast their yote for one of the four ro formers running that they would be satisfied. I thought it a fair and honora? ble proposition and one which did them great credit and advocated its acceptance. The offer was refused at the dictation of a few blind leaders who were puffed up with their importance without regard to the peace and general welfare of the whole people. The conservatives, I must say, have' shown in this, and in grace? fully submitting since 1890 to the rule of the majority, a spirit worthy of emulat? ion. Their treatment has been simply outrageous and was enough to drive, them to desperation. In retiring from this canvass I desire to thank those friends who have stood by me all over the State, especially those in Darlington who had the manhood to come out and endorse me. I can not forget the members of the press whose treat? ment of me, with too exception of three or four weeklies, has been magnanimous in the extreme. In conclusion, let me say to the 40.000 reformers who did not vote in the late so-called primary if you vote refrain from voting for governor at the primary on the 28th inst. and thus put your seal of condemnation upon the ring methods which have been employed. Cut off that portion of the ticket embracing the names of the delegates or run your pen through their names. You have a right to do this and only vote for members of the general assembly and county offices. Very respectfully, Sampson Pope. August 23, 1894. Uselessnpss of Strife, Democracy is a good deal like what Gen. Henry L. Benning, of Georgia, once said in a speech about the Southern Confederacy. He compared it to a cow? hide. So long as you keep it dry it can't be kept down. Step on one corner, he said, and it will cock up at the other, but let it once get wet and it's gone. So with Democracy, so long as the enthusiasm is kept up it is all right, nothing can down it, out once let the enthusiasm die down and it is gone. As proof of this look at Alabama. Oates stirred things up out there and the consequence is a big victory. What we need to-day in Sou,th Carolina is some man of ability whose heart is- right on' Democratic principles, to take the stump, (not as a candidate, however,) and preach pure Democracy to the people and show them the fruitlessness of this bitterness and strife, and how little we may expect to accomplish by fighting each other. As a State South Carolina will have to place herself on a broader plane, listen more to reason and not allow herself to be s wav? ed so much by passion and prejudice.? Easley Democrat. Home Folk In Washington. Washington, August 24.?Congress has about concluded its labors and decid? ed to adjonrn next Tuesday. A resolu? tion to that effect was passed today, just after the arrival of Senator Butler, who was palled back to Washington by the sergeant-at-arms of the Senate. Senator Irbyi did not respond to the summons, I and it is just es well that he did not. .Senator .Bailer was greatly inconven? ienced by being summoned back to Washington at this time, just as he is in ,tha thickest of his campaign ibr re-eleot Uon. ! It has been known for more than a Bek past that no radical legislation -Would be enasted in either house, so it f .eoemB like a furce to put Congressmen to the expense of coming to Washington 'obiy to be sent home again. Nearly all the members of both houses are prepared to leave the city and there is no prospect of any further legislation of an important nature. Both houses are simply waiting for the President's final aotion cn the tariff bill. Senator Hill, who left for Albany, bet $50 with a friend that the President would sign the bill, all statements to the contrary not? withstanding,?News and Courier. Eide ts In Convention, Ribgeway, August 26.?Sixteen Mor men elders, their State president, and the presidontof the Southern States, held a conference ander a huge brush harbor*| eight miles east of here yesterday ana today. About three hundred whites and twenty-five negroes were present today. Among whom were a dozen intelligent men from Ridgeway. Strange to say, they were pleased with what they heard. Mormonism is the topic on our streets tonight. Those who heard the sermons defending them, while they are bitterly denounced by other citizens. Their president of the Southern States announced from the platform that he would call on Governor Tillman before his departure. Should the Governor be converted he will have to go to their "Zion," which is Utah, and enjoy this religion. What can their motives be? Will some one enlighten our community.?Special to the State. _ To the General Election. Special to the State. Newberry, August 24.?Because Dr. Sampson Pope has withdrawn from the race for Governor is no reason why Newberry is not to furnish a man for that position. Mr. Frank Moon, a sturdy farmer of this county and a man who has never sought nor held office, told me this afternoon that he had made up his mind to enter the race for Governor. He bad not decided until he saw that Dr. Pope had withdrawn, though ho does not pro? pose to enter the primary. He is going to make his fight at the general election in November. He, too, was a one time Reformer, but proposes to make the fight as a protest against ring rule and bossism, He is in dead earnest and will issue his manifesto early next week, and will stay in to the finish, if be only gets one vote. He is built of sl icking stuff and is a graduate of the South Carolina College before the war. j_ _ j >.ai ? mm - trang Up and Riddled. Montgomery, Ala., August 24.? To? night at Mitchell's Station, thirty miles south of hero, a band of masked men took Riley Walkerand Richard Jordan off the Central train, bound for Montgomery, from Deputy Sheriff K ort land and lynch? ed them by hanging them to a tree, and afterwards perforating their bodies with buckshot, The prisoners had been tried at Union Springs, for murder, were con? victed and Walker was sent up to the penitentiary for life, Jordan for twelve years. Last February, the agent at Suspension, on the Mobile and Girard railroad, was shot dead in his store, adjoining the station. Two weeks later, Mr. Hall was shot at the same place, but was not killed. The crimes were traced to a gang of mur? derers and robbers, of which Walker was the leader and Jordan a member. Detoot ive William Wallace, of Columbus, Ga., went down to arrest Walker. The detective and others surrounded Walker's house, when the latter shot Wallace dead through a door and then escaped. He was afterwards caught in Florida. Jor? dan was caught in Bullock county, ? Captain Hand, a lifo-long deer hun? ter from Calhoun county, Florida, has killed during his life 2,244 deer, to say nothing about bears and wild tur? keys. ?A doae of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral taken in time has prevented many a fit of sickness and saved numerous lives. This proves the necessity of keeping this incomparable medicine where it can be readily reached at all hours of the day and nighi, Squire Fe well Attends the Side-show. ? Editors Intelligencer: The side? show has come and gone, and now for the election. Butler and Tillman went around with the raajn circus and the lit? tle side-show followed. I did not attend the circus, but I always did enjoy a side? show, so I went up to Mountain Springs last Tue.xday to see the fun. Securing a position where I could see all that was going on, I sat down to enjoy the fun. I was told that there would be some big speaking done, but it didn't turn up. They carried each candidate through a sort of catechism, which they all seemed to know pretty well and could satisfy the crowd vory well. The first question was: are you in favor of high taxes, high salar? ies and government support to high schools? Well, of course, they said they were not in favor of high taxes, but how are they to get out of it until they stop so much unnecessary expenses? Gover? nor Tillman'8 law suits have to.be paid for, and the expense of his war in Darl? ington, which amounted to some forty or fifty thousand dollars, has all got to be paid, besides numerous other little un? necessary expense, which, when all put together, will make quite a sum. They all seem to believe in low salaries for everybody else, but didn't know so well about their own. Well, that was all right. I would not like to vote to cut down my wages. None seemed to give a I definite answer as to government aid to high schools, but some of tbem took ad? vantage of the question to branch oflon that "'crowning effort of the Reform movement," that is Clemson College. I do think they ought to give Mr. Clomson some of the honor for that institution as well as tbe old oligarchy, as they inaugu? rated the enterprise. Then comes the question: Will you, if elected, support | Governor Tillman for tbe United States Senate? Well, now, that seemed to some of them to be a very uncalled for question, when they should have known that before. "Yes, of course," they would say, "we can't do without Governor Tillman; of course he must go to the United States Senate. "Why,"' said one, "he has ac? complished all he can for us and we can no longer claim his valuable services for this little State, but he must go up higher and reform our National Government." They said that "Governor Tillman was one of the greatest man we ever had, and that we could not do without him." Well, now, if there is any man in this State or these United States that we can't do without, I should say we are in a bad , fix.. Considering the mortality of man that he Is liable to die at any minute and leave us, then if we can't do without him, what will we do? The people thought perhaps they couldn't do without Washington and Jefferson and Webster and Calboun and Clay and all those great men of olden j time; then we come on down to General ' Lee and General Grant and Abraham { Lincoln, and a number of other great i men of our time. We thought perhaps j we could not do without them, but we do. Josh Billings naed to say "if you want to know how you will be missed ; after you are dead and gone, just stick a {>in in a mill pond and draw it out and ook for the whole in the water." Then comes the question: "Are you in favor of working convicts on farms in competition with free labor?" to which nearly all agreed that they were not. Then are you in favor of the county gov? ernment law? This was a poser. They hardly knew exactly what" they meant by that question, but it soon became ap Sarent that a great many of tbe poor, own-trodden farmers were against it. This law, as I understand it, has been put on our statutes to go into effect next -January, and could not be changed now before another year no way, and it may be that after we try it a year we may like it well enough to keep it, bo that I don't see the use in discussing that question at this time. I think tbe law will do very j well so far as the working of publio roads , are concerned, .but it will be a difficult matter to get competent men to serve on tbe township boards without compensa? tion. The Scripture says, "the laborer is worth his hire," and if the work of these township boards are worth anything to the people, I think they should be paid for their time. Being on the fence watching the pro? ceedings proceed and the procession go by, I had a good chance to take an impar? tial view of tbe field. Not being spe? cially interested in any of the candidates I could see the merits and demerits of all, without being biased by tbe influ? ence of friends or mercenary motives. I could calmly take in the whole show. Mr. Ashley, our Josh, waa on hand to give an account of his stewardship, and as this will not come out until after the eleotion is over, so that the faithful will not be influenced to vote against him be? cause a Conservative speaks well of him, I would say that his record will measure up to any of the others who went witb him. I tbiDk he tried to do what the people sent him to do, but he found that most of the Reform element did not mean what they said. So if I vote at all I will vote for Josh to go back, for I believe he will do us about as much good as any of them. Josh made one mistake, which was his factory labor law, but I reckon he will try to amend that when he finds that the people most interested in it do not want it. The same little panorama or side show made its appearance at Piedmont on Sat? urday evening, witb the catechism part left off. The people didn't have any questions to ask, but just let them fire away to suit themselves, which seemed to stagger some of them?they didn't know what to discuss, not knowing what the people wanted. I don't think the factory people care muoh about legisla? tion since tbey have legislated so much against tbem before. The fact is, the operatives?that is, the hands who do tbe work in the factory?never wanted any interference by legislation before. It was tbe old chronic grumblers, who sat around the stores and on the streets, and talked politics all day. They are the ones who made the fuss about long hours ?it was not the bands who did the work. I reckon when we get rid of Tillman we will have a little peace at home When he gets up to Washington his blow? ing won't amount to much; themyankees won't pay much attention to his roaring. I think we would have been better off if he had went to the Senate instead of Irby. He may begin to look out for his retire ment, for it is sure to come, and if he will take the papers he will see now much the "faithful" will thank him for all his pains in securing reform (?) for them. I don't suppose bis birthday will ever become a national holiday. Some of the candidates could not let the opportunity pass with out criticising Mr. Cleveland and his ad ministration. If they will just be easy, and, as the Irishman said, "if they can't be aizy just be as aizy as they can," Mr. Cleveland and myself will get things all right. We are going to let the Tariff act become a law, and while it is not what we desired, it is muoh better than the McKinley law. Now if the better times does not boom up during our adminis tration, why just elect us again and we will be sure to have a jubilee against tbe year of 1000. Squire Fewell. Moseley News. Mr. J. T.

Soon they came to a small river over which was a high bridge. Just as they were starting across the horse became frightened at the bridge. The young man was very muoh ezoited, and jumped from the buggy. He told the young lady that it was dangerous for her to stay in the buggy, while he led the horse across the bridge. The young lady j was perfectly cool, and was apprehensive of no danger, as she bad seen horses straighten their ears at such things before. But the young man was so greatly excited that be was forced to tell her as a last resort that she must get out of the buggy and walk across the bridge. The young lady, laughing, complied with his request, and the young man, with his distressing ex? citement somewhat appeased, cautiously led the horse across the bridge- After he had safely crossed, and the thoughts of danger were no longer agitating his mind, he thought of the absurdity of his actions, and earnestly and pathetically said, "don't you tell anybody when you get home." On Tuesday night there was a social gathering at Mr. A. S. Latimer's. Nearly all the young people in town were present, and every one returned home very much pleased with the occasion.
