From all we can learn there are a num? ber of both Reformers and Conservatives who will not support John Gary Evans for Governor, next Tuesdays They say they Bwallow the rest of the ticket - This year the elections lall on the same day of the month and week as did the national elections of I860; when Abraham 'Lincoln was elected president and . a ?feappy and prosperous country thrown into the bloodiest war on record. Can any advocates for a constitutional 'convention mention a single matter that would be effected by such a convention that may not just as easily bo secured by ac amendment to the present constitution by the Legislature and submitted to the p?ople without expense? The big strike of .the weavers, at Fall River, Mass., which was commenced with a short vacation nearly three months \ago, was declared off last Monday and tfc o strikei? returned to work. For eight weeks some 23,000 operatives were idle, and they lost about ?1,500,000 in wages. We agree *with the Barnwell People when itsuysthe Legislature at Its next session should pass as its first Act on* repealing the law requiring County - Treasurers to visit the townships for the collection of taxes. Mail and railroad facilities are so good that there is no need for exposures so inviting to robbers and .murderers. , ? ' Here is something of Interest to the nit orchant3.

( j ?? - Governor N?rthen's signature has been affixed to many important documents, but no one more far reaching than the iavftatlons sent to the governors of for ty alue. Spates and Territories to make ex-, hibits at the Cotton States and Interna? tional Exposition. They went from . Austin, Texas, to Sitka, Alaska, and ; from Maine to California. Several of the States have already authorized exhibits smd all.are invited to make such displays. - Speaking of SmtBs, an interesting feature of the decorations of the Exposition buildings will be the enlarged represen? tations of the great seals of the States. South Carolina can make a good exhibi? tion of her products at this exposition if she will only make the effort. All through the Northwest there is a general desire among the farmers to. seek homes in the/ South. If the right kind of an effort were made, thousands of excel? lent farmers in Michigan, Minnesota, the Dakotas, Kansas and other west era States .would sell their farms and stock, and come South. Mr. Hector D. Lane, the commissioner of agriculture for Ala bams, who recently returned from a tour through Iowa, Wisconsin and the Dako? tas in the interest ox immigration to Ala? bama,, says that the desire among the farmers of those States to emigrate to the South is so general as to excite surprise. He annonncco that during this falLand winter many of them will visit the South with the view of establishing colonies in the Southern. States. - No wonder" some of the "Reform" Congressmen from South Carolina de n ounceSenatorIrby as a disgrace to the State and will hot even speak to him in Washington. By his action as chairman of the State Executive Committee in re? fusing to send out any "No" tickets on the Constitutional Convention question, he has brought further disgrace' on the State, and has attempted a trick that the "five years of good stealing" crowd, with their ignorant and slavish followers, never had the cheek to do. There are thousands of Reformers in South Carolina Who are opposed to a Constitutional Con? vention, and they should be given an opportunity to express their wishes. There is no honest man who wit! endorse Irby's action. Let every man who loves his liberty go to the polls next Tuesday and vote against the Convention. - ? ? The Newbarry Herald and News of last week says: We are a politics-ridden people. It is the curse of our day. Our people are not given time enough to think of business or material prosperity. It is politics, politics from one year to another. And what good does it all do the people ? A few men get the offices and draw the salaries and tho balance of ns plow on, pay taxes and try to make a scanty living. And yet some people are foolish enough to get mad with and try to Injure you if you do not vote and talk as they think you ought. We have had nothing but turmoil and strife and pre? judice in South Carolina for the past several years. And for what? Has any? body boen benefited thereby ? Yes, a few men who have gotten the offices have grown fat and rich, but the great ma? jority is no better off. Suppose we let up on politics and devote some of our energies to the upbuilding of our own material interests. It will pay us better and be better for the countrv. The Columbia Correspondent of the News and Courier says: They say that the county government bill, about which so much has been said, will have to un? dergo a series of repairs before it can be ased to advantage. The mora the bill is fitudiod and the nearer the time for the law to go into effect the more ragged is tiie bill found to be. A County Commis ?ipner, who has been identified with such work for a number of years, says that too new system is much aiora cumber? some and costly than that now in use. Hesaystbat there is good groundwork in the proposed system, but that it is ex? cessively crude and will have to bo ma? terially changed before it e;in be u!?cd to advantage. Under the present s\stem f.<r this County, by way of illustration, the three Commissioners are paid a salary of ?900 and mileage. Under the new law ihe one Supervisor will receive that salary, and the chairmen of tho town? ship boards have to be paid in addition. In the first instance he says that the boards of assessors, who are paid noth? ing, do not now do the work that is ex? pected of them, and that there is no more reason why the boards provided for in the new law should do any work for the glory of it. In some counties there are few townships and that makes the chair? man of the beard have a large territory to coyer, and he will not bo likely to do that amount of work for tho small salary he will receive, and in the counties where there are a great many townships there will be considerable extra cost, as each of the chairmen receives a perdiem. The first thing to be done, the Commis? sioner said, was to provide for a contract system of working the roads. Ho insists that the present system as well as any? thing like it is wrong. Governor Tillman 'will very probably take up the new county bill in his next messago to the Legislature. A Cotton Chimera, Columbia, October 24.?The Slate will print to-morrow the following from Jobn T. Roddey, member of the JJew York Cotton Exchange and a son of a wealthy South Carolinian. He has for some time been advocating some concerted action by Southern formers: To the Thinking Farmers of the South: For the past two years I have made cot? ton cum missions my business, and daily have I witnessed the downward tenden? cy of your product. If you will think for a moment you will realize the fact that "though yon are the producers of this country and should be the most indepen? dent, yet you are the most dependent people of America.. Why? Because there are combinations on nearly every article you use. The maufacturers of the North combine on everything and say what it shall bring, while you sell your products for whatever they are willing to pay you. Why cannot you project your cotton in the same way ? I should like, if it meets your approv? al, to organize a trust company called the Southern Farmers' Trust Company, for the purpose of protecting your products from the depressing influences of specula? tors, spinners and capitalists, and provide a means by which you can name tho price for your products, instead of having the price dictated to you as is now tho case. I feel tatistiod this can be done by forming a trust, which would be able to bar/die most of the cotton you grow. Let the capital stock be $50,000,000 to ?100, 000,000, subscribed entirely by the farm? ers of the South and divided into as many snares as may be necessary and small enough for every cotton planter to sub? scribe. Let each farmer take stock to his utmost capacity.and support the trust in every possible way. In case you receive 10 cents for your cotton, instead of 5 cents which you are now receiving, you save on a crop of 8, 000,000 bales about $200,000,000, at least twice as much as the capital stock of the trust company. In case speculators should become frightened even at the mention 'of the trust and advance the price of cotton, so much the better for yo?, but very likely they would attempt at first to bluff you. I think it is now time to act. What benefits the farmer or laborer unques? tionably benefits all classes. If such a. plan should meet your approval I would be more than glad to meet a representa? tive cotton grower from every State or Alliance either in New York or in some city to see if something cannot be done to bring about some benefit to the South. Something must be dono or your lands will not bo worth cultivating. John T. Roddey. To Discuss Cotton. Huntsville, Ada., October 23.?Heo tor D. Lane, commissioner of agriculture' of Alabama, issued a call to-day tor a meeting of southern cotton growers, to convene at Montgomery, Ala., Novem? ber 13th, to discuss the causes leading to the present depressed condition-of the cotton market. The call begins as fol? lows: "To the Cotton Growers: It is a matter of the utmost importance to the farmers of the South that the reports now being sent out by cotton manipulators should be refuted. That the present low prices are based upon fictitious reports no in? telligent man doubts; that the private estimate sent out from New Orleans to the effect that the present cotton crop wonld exceed 10,000,000 bales has had a depressing tendency is generally admit? ted, although not supported by any pre? vious statistics or predicate to go upon, but an unprecedented delivery up to date, which argument can be answered with the undeniable fact that we have the most propitious season .ever known for gathering the staple throughout the entire cotton belt. I vouchsafe the pre? diction that if the same weather continues two weeks longer every bale of cotton grown in Alabama can be gathered. "My calculations are based upon per? sonal observations, having traveled through north Alabama by private con Vbyance for the last ten days, and its val? ue is enhanced by the well-known fact that cotton raised in that section is about, the last to mature." He then urges the farmers to hold as much of their cotton as possible without detriment to their creditors, and holds that it will be advantageous to all con? cerned ultimately. He concedes that the resolutions without action are valueless, but cites the farmers' congress held at Memphis, January, 1893, wbich decreas? ed the acreage that year, and consequent? ly gave the farmers good prices for their cotton. His principal fight will be upon false estimates sent out by the cotton ex? changes and cities and the 10,000,000- bale estimate recently sent from New Orleans marked "private." The cotton interests of the South, he holds, can only be pro? tected by concerted action. The call closed with the following pointed remarks: "Now, in view of the meeting named and the imperative demand upon the Southern farmer to undertake protective measures along these lines, I invoke the assistance of the press of the South in calling a meeting of the cotton raisers at Montgomery, Ala.. Tuesday, November 13,1894. By that time I will have gath? ered the official statistics through the ag? ricultural bureaus that they may be pre? sented publicly, not privately, for'the benefit of those interested. J hope all farmers who are able to do so without doing an injustice to creditors, will hold their cotton until after the meeting, where we can deliberate over the situa? tion and devise some , means to give'a fight to the finish,' inviting the hearty co? operation of the press and asking that the farmers will give this important mat? ter a consideration and send intelli? gent representatives at the tims and place named." liar3 You. Hogs to Fatten 1 To Ike Editor of the State: Apropos to your thoughtful and timely article of yesterday on "The Cotton Situation," I feel impelled to make a practical sugges? tion that if promptly acted upon by those having hogs to falten, will save thousands of dollars to the State within the next sixty days. Contrary to prevailing opinion, cotton seed, if properly mixed with other food, so as id make a properly balanced ration, is tho cheapest hog food we possess and perfectly safo. They are to be found on every farm and are now being sold at one-half their value, considered as a stock food, as compared with the market value of corn. There is an abundant crop of sweet potatoes, which can neither be marketed nor preserved to advantage. Cotton seed and sweet potatoes mixed in proportion of one of the former to three of the latter, and boiled together will give a hog food superior in every respect to corn and absolutely safe. To those not having potatoes and using corn as a sole fattening ration, I would suggest to mix cotton seed and corn < bushel for bushel and grind together or cook. Fed according to either method, every bushel of cotton seed is worth to the far? mer as much as a half bushel of corn, or at the preseut price of corn 33 cents per bushel, while theii present market price is less than half. Criticisms of above suggestions will be cheeriully and scientifically discussed. "Helpek." ? Editor J. L. Montgomery, of Mar shall, (111.) Democrat, states that for many years, he suffered untold a^K.ny from Dyspepsia. At last he began to take Ayer's Sarssparilla, and by the time he used six bottles, he was as well as ever.

Ten years ago, when cotton brought ten cents a pouiid, a barrel of Hour cost $10; now the best flour can be bought for $4. In other words, a 500 pound hale or cotton will today buy 350 pounds more flour than it would ten years ago. So there is not so much room for grumbling after all. A dollar will go a long ways these days. Jeter K. Dr.- Samps Popo Talfes. Columbia State, Oct. 24. Dr. Sampson Pope, the independent Democratic candidate for Governor, re? turned to the city yesterday. Dr. Pope is more hopeful than ever of success in the coming election. He talked most hopefully last evening. The doctor's manner indicates that what he says is not bragging, but that there is real foun? dation lor his hopes. When Dr. Pope was asked last night if he had seen in the State what Senator Irby had said about his candidacy and strength, he said: "Yes, and I was amused. The colonel is a politician right. He believes in un? derrating his adversary's strength ; that card will not win the game. The people have caught on to his trick. Some days ago, if I have been correctly informed, a friend of mine offered to bet him a suit of clothes (the colonel bets hats, and clothes sometimes) that I would get near? ly four times what votes he give3 me, and backed him down. Telling me about it, I told him he ought to have of? fered to bet cn 60,000. It would be much better if he would say how many votes the ring candidate will get. "The people are aroused all over the State. The trick of not furnishing "no" convention tickets, after saying that he would do so, has lost him 10,000 votes in the State. I have furnished them, and they will be voted, and the convention wilt be defeated." "What are your chances of success?" . "They are growing brighter and brighter every day, and I will beat the Ring irom ten to twenty thousand votes in the State. There need be no fear about a fair count; this is an election be? tween white man and white man, and my friends are posted, and are determined to have a fair election. Any tampering with the votes will certainly get people in tronblo. We know our rights, and dare to defend thorn at any cost" Has to Chase Ills Bride,, Among the Arabs a curions wedding custom prevails. After various ceremo? nies the bridegroom Is led In the evening into a large, dimly lighted room. Here, huddled on che floor on one f-ide he find? the female relatives and friends of the bride, all of the same height and size, all wearing precisely similar clothing and closely veiled. One of these is the bride and' he has to find out which it is. If he has bsen wise he has bribed some of the spectators to giye him a sign to guide him, if not he attempts to seize the veiled figure whom he suspects to ba his bride. If possible she slip* from his grasp and runs away with him in hot pursuit. An exciting chase follows until be suc? ceeds in catching her, when he tears the veil from'her face. If it turns out that he has chosen correctly and that she is his bride, the game is ended, but if not he must try again, after the captured girl has bad time to arrange her dress and take her place among the others. Again he makes the attempt and after another chase possibly finds that he has the wrong girl once more. Many hours are {>assed In this way and it is often day - lght before the unlucky bridegroom se? cures his bride. . Fearful Story from Kentucky. ! Louisville, Ky., October 24.?A spe? cial to the Times from Sturgeon, Ky., says: A fearful and death-dealing plague of diphtheria is raging opposite Casey - vi lie, and coffins can hardly be furnished fast enough with which to bury the dead. Not fewer than forty deaths have ocour ' red in the week. It is not uncommon to bury two children in a single coffin. A man from across the river arrived at Ca seyille to-day for the fifth coffin furnished in one family. The plague has now crossed the Ohio and is epidemic at Casevvillf and Mul ford tow n, having been brought thither by families from Illinois fleeing from its ravages. A number of dangerous canes are developing there and all the schools have closed. The community is in a gen? eral state of alarm. Among the few recov? eries noted the victims bave been left blind or paralyzed. A number of physi? cians elsewhere have been called to as? sist in combating the disease, the local doctors thus far having been powerless to arrest the epidemic. A Girl Fights Per Her Home, Perry, Oklahoma, October 26.?A terrible duel was fought betweon Miss Agnes Jones, a young lady about 21 years of age, and Sam Barteil, 35 years old, on a homestead twenty miles north of Perry yesterday. Miss Jones obtained the homestead when the Cherokee strip was opened in September, 1893, and had built a new home. Two months ago she went to visit her parents in Kansas, and Sam Barteil jumped the claim and moved bis effects into Miss Jones' house. Miss Jones re? turned yesterday and found her home occupied. She gave orders for it to be vacated at once, which Barteil refused to do, and she pulled a revolver from under her apron and opened fire on Barteil. Barteil returned the fire hut missed the woman. Three of her shots took effect in Bartell's body, from tho effects of which he will die. mm it ^ - Wonders of the Atlanta Show. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 17.?The plana for the negro building of the Cotton States and International Exposition include a novel exhibit In the way of the panorama showing the progress of the negro from his native State in the wilds of Africa, and in his original thatched hut, by suc? cessive stages, to the most advanced type of the race in America. Beside? this a large assdmbly hall for a negro Congress is a leading feature. The building will have 25,000 feet of floor space. The Ex fiosltlon. has secured a chime of bells arger und finer than the one at the World's Fair, and they will be placed in a tower 150 feet high on the big manufac? tures and liberal arts building. The new process of extracting gold from red dirt by chlorination will be in operation in machinery hall. ? In Hardin county, Kentucky, blood? hounds continue to demonstrate their usefulness as thief-catchers. A fellow by the name of Hawkins broke in the store of Mr. Henderson, at Rocky Hill station, Edmonson county, and stole his cash register, expecting, no doubt, that he was carrying off a fortune. He demolished the register a short distauce from the store and found only 50 cents in it. Mr. Henderson wired Marshal Neighbors to come down and bring his hounds The hounds were put on the trail, and they tracked Hawkins about five milo?. They ran in the house, scattering women and children, and jumped upon tho bed, showing that Hawkins went to bed as soon as reaching home. He was found a short distance from the house cutting corn. ?

'?'qulrc Fewell Gives "Don Lino" a Few Doses Editors TNTF.r.Lir;i:N<i:it: My atten? tion 1ms been called to a communication in the Anderson Peoples Advocate from one "Don Lino,'' w ho is a prn|?ounder nf Hi?tn? ot t!n' ino.-t lisiinl as well us foolish question* that I Imvu ever heard. It does look to me likn ari3' one in this enlight? ened country ought to have moro sense than to believe any such absurd non? sense as Iw has pot in his head when he hears it, hut, as Mr. A. B. Williams says, no douht the writer thought he was writ? ing a truth, for I have known some men to tell a lie so oiten that they would get to believing it to be tho truth themselves. Mr. Lino begins by saying he has a lew questions to ask some 01 the "true-blue, rock-ribbed, Simon-pure Cleveland Dem? ocrats, and as Squire Fewell claims to be of this grade, I will have to ask him to answer them." Well, now, I don't know what all ofthat conglomeration of words mean. If it means that tho persons it is applied to are straight Democrats with? out any crooks or turns toward Republi? canism or Populist tendencies, and a true believer in the honesty and integrity of President Cleveland, I am one of them. Mr. Lino first wunts to know "why President Cleveland, as soon as he was inaugurated, appointed a Republican to the highest place in his cabinet." That is news to me, I thought Judge Grosham was as true a Democrat as we had after he renounced his allegiance to tho Repub? lican party about twelve years ago, and I think so yet. Ho also wants to know "why Mr. Cloveland is under yoke with John Sherman, who was hired by the money power of Europe and Wall Street to use his influence in the demonetization of silver?" 1 didn't know that silver was demonetized, for I seo it is still in circulation, and I can buy as much in a store any where in this country with a silver dollar as he can with a gold dollar, and I wish I had more of them than I have. That stuff that has been going the rounds for the last two or three years about Mr. Cleveland being bought by the money powers of Wall Street, has the least foundation for a truth of any lie that I have ever heard. I don't hoar it from any Democrat or any respectable Repub? lican?it all comes from these Third Party Populists, who are an offspring of Euro? pean socialism and anarchy, the seed of which was brought to this country dur? ing the late civil war in recruits to the Federal army. Mr. Lino goes on to say "if there was too much money in circulation, why did Mr. Cleveland burn up millions and millions of greenback money and then issue ?50,000,000 in bonds?" That's another Populist lie, for I don't think Mr. Cleveland had that much money ol his own, and, if he had, he is like me, he would not have it to spare, and he ha no right to burn any one else's money any more than I would. As to the bonds, Mr. Carlisle bad to issue them to save a wrecked treasury, which the Republican party was responsible for and not the Democrats. This inquisitive writer wants to know of the Squire what he thinks ol Cleveland's tariff revision, and says that "sugar is li cent higher than it was under the old law, and is advancing at the rate of a half a cent a week," which we all, who buy sugar, know is not so. I bought a dollar's worth of sugar a Jew days ago and my wife didn't know what it was, the bundle was so large when I laid it on the table. "Why," says she, "Squire, what iB this you have in this big bundle?' Said I, "Sugar." "0, yes," says she, "and what made you buy so much?" "Well," said I, "I only got a dollar's worth." "Its a mighty big bundle; I thought it was a sack of flour," she said, and walked away singing. Mr. Lino says "that ostrich feathers have gone down while sugar has gone up." I do not know about the feather as I don't buy them often. He says "we can do without sugar and take the feath? ers." Well, he may, but as lo my part I had rather have sugar, and will buy it as-long as I can get from 18 to 20 pound* to the dollar, but its only a matter ol choice, and if he had rather have the feathers, let him buy them. I would say to him that if featherB go up too high for him ho migtt get Mr. Cowan to pitjh his tent in his section and preach the idea of wearing feathers and flowers in ladies' hats out of the minds of the wearers and thus save another big bill at the store. As to the ?200,000 appropriation, I think with all other progressive thinkers, that will be money well spent. The world generally don't know what a great coun? try these Southern States are, and the Inter-National Exposition to be held in Atlanta next year will give us a good op? portunity to advertise our groat natural resources to the raonied men of tho world, who will be glad to come here and invest their money with us, and in time help to make the South what she is bound to be in time to come?one of tho richest places on earth, "Wall Street" not excepted. "What do you think about Cleveland's social equality, Squire?" says he; but for fear I have not read it he appends the Act passed by the Legislature of New York and approved by Grover Cleveland as Governor, May 5th, 1881. Section 1 reads thus: "The colored schools in the city of New York now existing and in operation shall bereatter be classed and known as ward schools and primaries, with their respective teachers, unless such teachers shall be removed in man? ner provided by law, and officers iu the respective wards in which they are lo? cated, in the same manner and to the same oxtent as other ward schools, and shall be open for tho education of pupils for whom admission is sought, without regard to race or color." Now, if I un? derstand the reading of that Act, it does not open out the white schools to chil? dren without regard to race or color, but it does open the colored schools "for the education of pupils for whom admission is sought, without regard to race or color;" which means that if any white person wants to send to a negro school he has the privilege to do so. But, you seo, I don't want to, nor would I if I lived in New York. So if any Yankee wants to send his children to a negro school it is nothing to me nor any busi? ness of mine, so long as I am nut com? pelled to send mine to a mixed school. Read that Act again, carefully, Mr. Don, an3 you will see that there is nothing wrong about Mr. Cleveland signing the bill?I would have signed it myself if I had beeD Governor of New York. And that lie you say that Hon. Lafo Pence traced up"is another Third Party campaign lie, and not a bit of foundation for truth in it. You ought to keep your? self better posted than that in regard to the coinage of silver and gold. If you will examine the Secro-ary of the Treas? ury's late report you will see that there has been several million dollars in silver, and gold, too, coined siuco the present administration has been in office. If you will bring over some of your cotton to Piedmont you oan get some silver coin that has been coined this year. Do you think it was sent out to Col. Orr to tool the people with ? If so, I wish they would keep on fooling us the same way. So, Mr. Do'n Lino, if your politics are what I think they are from the tenor of your communication, you had better go West where you will have more compa? ny. I hope, at least, that we will never have any more Populists here than we now have, and if you are not a Populist you must be close akiu to one. All of this cant and derision about President Cleveland and his being allied with the money-kings of Wall Street and Europe is like Gov. Tillman's accusations against our administrations before his?all bosh. ; How much dishonesty did Gov. Tillman ever provo against our former Stato offi? cials ? Why, not a single one. Yet you and a great many others believed it just because Ben Tillman says so, aud for no other reason.- So you believe those cam? paign lies about President Cloveland be | cause some of your Third-Party-Popu? list-Republican friends say so. Gov. Tillman said that he would have his sal? ary paid with fewer bales of cotton than Gov. Richardson's was. Let us see how that has worked out. Gov. Ricbardson's salary In 1SU0 was ?3,500, and cotton that fall sold for from (J) to 10i cents per pound, and some a littlo higher?but say on an average at 10 cents. So you seo seventy bales weighing live hundred pounds each would have paid his last year's salary. Now, let us see what Gov. Tillman's salary is this year. Why, it is just the same??3,500?and how man} bales of cotton will it take at the present prico to pay his salary ? Say quick, bo fore somebody else beats you and goes head. You say that if I don't think that tho questions you have asked are true, you want me to put my mind in a gymnasium and give my voice and pen a vacation and go to investigating and reading, etc. You mean a Lyceum, I suppose, instead of a gymnasium, but 1 have truth enough to read to consume all the spare timo I havo to read without devoting any of it to the political lies you refor to. How? ever, if you will send me over some of your Third-Party-Popnliat-papors I will spend a little whilo on them. I don't think tho Editor of the Advocate believes in any of the stuft" you write about. I think he keeps himself better posted than that. No, I don't think that any of tho questions you havo asked are truo, so you will have to try it over, and in tho meantime please tell me why our taxes aroso high this year and last year, where we havo been promised a reduction ever sinco the present administration camo into power?

M iss Skir.ner, of Charleston. has arrived to take charge of the new school at this place. Miss Eloi?e Earle has been spending awhile with bor sister, Mrs. N. O. Farmer, noar this placf. We compared the price of cotton and taxes now and in Radical times in an article for the Oconee News not long ago, and the JYw.s failed to publish it. There is no use to try to hide facts. In Radical times cotton" was 20 cents and taxes 17 mills, and now cotton is 5} and taxes 102 mills- Taxe3 are a great deal harder to pay now thau then. Mr. Editor, tell us what's the matter. Mr. E. P Earle, who bas been so bad off with his back, we understand, is some better. Mr. J. W. Shirley, of this placo, has bought out Mr. Kinny Brown, and has employed Mr. Brown to clerk for him. Townville is ?tili on a bocm. Mr. Samuel V. Harbin, of Tugalo River fame, bas been spending awhile with bis ?ister, Mr3- Sarah Hunt, near this place. Prof. J.

He has a wife, son 4nd daughter in Texas, and a son in tbis county to mourn his death. Old Rosin De Bow. Piercetown Item3. The burg is brim full of news, and we will ende ivor to chronicle the principal items on this beautiful afternoon. Miss Hattie Deal, a boautiful and ac? complished young lady of West Union, S. C, is visiting in our community. There has recently been two stores ad? ded to our growing town. W.S. Reeves bas opened out a stock of general mer? chandise, and S. L. Elrod <fc Co. have also opened out a beautiful and attractive line of goods. A.C. Webb has recently ex? tended his store house 20 feet. This looks like times are getting better and business is picking up, if cotton is live cents. Mother has just made us a new pair of pants, and, in the language of the old time clown, we iay : "Bring in another horse." Madam Rumor says there will he two more weddings before many moons have waned. When the happy events have ibken place we will give you tho particu? lars. T Rev. G. M. Rogers preached an able sermon at Friendship this morning to a large and attentive congregation. C. L. Smith has accepted a position with tho Kennesaw Marble Works, at Marietta, Ga., as engraver, and he is now at tbe above named place. We have jnst came in from a stroll to Snow Hill graveyard, and it is in a dilap? idated condition. We think some work would improve its appearance. Although it is only a short distance from here, we hardly ever go there, for the reason that every time we visit tho place its isola? tion and wretched appearance carries us back to its fad history. There was once a powerful church there, but all the mem? bers have gone on before or have moved awa'y. It is with feelings of sadness that wo write this. The first Sunday School we ever attended was there, but not a vestige of tbe house remains. Oh, how often have we galloped down there in our Knickerbockers with an old blue back spelling book under our arm. Those who were too small to belong to the Bible class recited a lesson in the "old blue back," and then recited a lesson In the catechisms that had been taught them before they left home. The lasc sermon that we ever heard preached there was by Rev. John Attaway, and we remem? ber it as if>t only took place yesterday. We can call to mind the name of our classmates, who were taught by Miss Lela Williams, who is now waiting to welcome us on that beautiful and shining shore. We laid down in the grass and went to sleep and soon foil to dreaming. We were carried back to those halcyon days, and seemed to see the old church and tbe congregation gathering, and we could bear them singing: ?'Come, tho? fount of every blessing, Tuue my heart to sing tby grace, Streams of jneroy never ceasing, Call lor songs of loudest praise." And we suddenly awoke and found it all a dream, and then we began to realize ?'that we, too, must pass away." Time is fleeting, and "life is*but a single span," and we ought to try to do all the good for the Master that wo can. Sam Dewbebry. Moselcy News. Mrs. Nancy Cleveland, formerly of tbis bounty, now residing in Florida, was visit? ing around here recently much to tbe delight of her many friends and relatives. Died, on tbe 21st instaut, a little child of Cap:, and Mrs. Ward, after an illness of only a few hours, and was laid to rest on the'following day in the Baptist cemetery here. The bereaved ones have the sym? pathy of their many friends. Mr. Bud Dye, one of Flatwoods' hand? somest young men, was calling on our ycung ladies recently. They are making arrangements to return the visit at an early date. Mrs. Sarah Patterson, came home from Bordeaux last week, where she spent two months with her son, Mr. C. P. Patterson. Mr?. Ida Dye, of Stansel, Ga , is visiting near here at this writing. She iias many : frieuds around here who are clad to see her. Messrs. J. O. Evans and J. J. Patterson was off on a trip to Bordeaux recently on important business. Miss Maggie Brown, accompanied by her brother, Charles, is vhriting near Hart well at this writing. Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Young, of Marvin, ?p3ntadayand night here recently with tucir parents. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to Mr. James Wanslow, in his bereavement for the loss of his wife, who died on tho 27th instant, after a short ill? ness. She was the object of a devoted family's affection who deeply mourn the loss of one who was so loving, kind and tender, and always ready to speak a kind word to those around her. She had a large circle of friends and relatives, all of whom will long cherish her memory. Her re? mains were Interred at Cross Roads church graveyard the lollowing day. We are requested to say that Prof. T. M. Lock, of Bowersville, Ga., will sing at Union Church on the 4th Sabbath morning in November. The young ladies of this place have many ways and devices of ridding them? selves of unwelcome "callers," but the latest thing wc have head is, for them to hunt up the boys' hats, and present the name to them. It works like a charm, and has caused somo of them to use language that sounded like they hadn't been to church recently. To Squire Fewell, I will 6ay that 1 am not Emperor of Brazil, neither am I any a kin to any of the defeated, but if you would like to know who I am, send your name and address with stamp enclosed to tbe undersigned at Mosely, S- C, and I will giveyou all the information you want. But just here I wish to say that I am not surprised at what you bad to say in last week's issue, because you have been kick? ing at everything and at nothing, for the longest time. Some of the readers of the Intblliqekceb think you are paid for it, but it is evidont that you was born and reared in the objoctivecase, and feel it your duty to oppose and fight and kick at every? thing that comes along. JEsop, in one of bis fables, shows the ass in the lion's skin, creating consternation among the other beasts until his ears popped out, when the terror subsided. Your ears are out now, Squire, and we see what you are, so much for kicking so high at " that little sore head,'' and now it remains for you to in? troduce yourself to tbe world: ''Ego Sum Aainus 1" I would like to offer tho Squire a few suggestions, but think twould be unnecessary, because wise men need no advice and fools won't take it. Mr, C. L, Every, formerly of this place, now at Bone Valley, Fla., in a letter to vnur scribe, says be reached the ' land of flowers" all O.

In behalf of my brothers and sisters I desire to return my thanks to the kind friends and neighbors who were so atten? tive and kind in tninisteriog to tho com? fort of our dear mother during the long time she had been confined to her room and bed. I can assure each and every one of these friends, that as long as life lasts we will feel grateful to them. May our Heavenly Father bless and reward every one of them. Respectfully, B. II. PoortE.
