Anderson Intelligencer. _PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY. 3. P. CLINKSCALES, { Editors and 0. C. LANGSTON, \ Proprietors. TERMS : ONE YEAR.?1 50 SIX MONTHS . 75 WEDNESDAY, MAY 26, 1397. The Columbia Slate of Tuesday says : 'The State receives iuformation that to morrow Governor Ellerbe will appoint Congressman McLsurin to the United States Sanate. The news does not come from either the Governor or the Con gressman, but it will do to count on." The taking off of no man in public life in South Carolina since the war has caus ed more profound and general sorrow and regret than the death of United States Senator Joseph H. Earle at h.a home last Friday in Greenville. This sad event does not reach the proportions of a national loss, because bis record as Senator, promising as it was of useful ness and of honor, was all too briel for him, to have reached the country's heart, and therefore quickened its pulse by his untimely departure. But here at home, where his name and fame are carved in characters ineffaceable, is the sense of loss keenest and the measure of sorrow fullest. Descended from a highly hon orable ancestry, and reared in the atmos phere of the knightliness of the old South, forging his way through the changed conditions that have made a now South, he stood at life's close the type? the impersonation?of all that was best in the new and old. He lacked the charm of personal magnetism possibly, but men were drawn to his standard by the force of his character and the power of his masterful intellectuality. Senator Earle was one of the most conspicuous exem plars of personal and public honor that our State, prolific as she has been, has produced, and we would point onryoung men, ambitious of honor and emolument, to thia splendid Christianized manhood as worthy of imitation. South Carolina was generous to her son, showering upon him gifts of honor and profit, and in return he bestowed upon his proud old mother all the loyalty, all the homage, all the fideli ty of his nature, and ehe mourns to-day that her distinguished son, bearing fresh in his hands her highest commission and with the vista of still greater usefulness opening- olear before him, should have fallen an untimely victim of the insatia ble archer that spares neither peasant nor prince. ^ _ For some years past Mr. J. W. Shirley, an enterprising young business man and farmer at Town ville, in this County,'has been engaged in truck farming in a small way, confining himself to tomatoes and onions. He has not kept exact accounts with his experiments, but is satisfied that these crops pay far better profits than jtton, or, indeed, any of the field crops. This year he has two acres in onions of the multiplying variety, and although the season has not been favorable he counts on gathering sixty bushels per acre. He finds ready sale for his onions in the market here at from eighty cents to a dollar per bushel, so that at a moderate estimate this would be a gross yield of one hundred dollars for the two acres. The cost of seed, ten bushels per acre be ing required, and of the labor of planting, cultivating, gathering and marketing we will assume, for the sake of estimate, to be no greater than the same items in the cotton crop. But it would appear to be considerably less. The two acres Mr. Shirley has in onions would, in its pres ent state of fertility, produce at an out side figure fifty dollars worth of cotton at seven cents per pound. Thus it will be seen that onions are 100 per cent more profitable as a money crop than is cot ton. Bnt Mr. Shirley will gather his onions within a lew weeks and follow them with tomatoes, making two crops per year on the same ground and proba bly doubling his receipts. He sold to matoes in the market here last fall read ily at a dollar a bushel, and we see no reason why he should not realiz; the same prices again We have written of Mr. Shirley's success with onions and toma toes as un object lesson in diversified farming. There is not an intelligent farmer in Anderson County who will not agree that to make cotton, or any crop for that matter, the principal crop, too gener ally the exclu.-ive crop, is a ruinous poli cy, and yet they continue it. Potatoes, sweet and Irish, should contribute great ly to the revenue of the farm. There are no crops that yield so large a return for the labor expended in their cultivation as these, and yet our farmers do not raise enough for home consumption. A good deal of unfavorable criticism of t ie questions issued by the State Board o" Education for the County examinations of applicants for teact en ' 'rtiticates, re cently ht Id throughout iue State, has besn heard. "We have read the questions and our opinion in such matters being non-professional, so to speak, may not count for much, but a* it strikes us these questions do not seem to be out of reach. To be sure, In the preparation of so many questions a lew apparently unnecessarily hard may creep in The terms of secur ing a certificate upon these questions ap pear to us to be reasonable enough. To answer correctly seventy-five per cent, of the questions with what impresses itself as a wise proviso that at least sixty per cant, on every branch must be made en titles the applicant to a first grade. With the same questions the person making a general average of seventy per cent, and falling below fifty in nothing, is given a second grade. The instruction atlorded in our common schools, to ea\ nothing of our higher institutions, should qualify our boys and girls for obtaining teachers' certificates, the more especially when it Is borne in mind thatth? person?a young woman of 17?making the highest grade at the recent examination here, is a pro duct of the ? too-oft derided common school, and that her teacher, while hold iug a high grade certificate, is himself a stranger to college training. The conten tion in ct-rtain quarters is that the State Board of Education, whose duty it is to prepare the examination questiono, is too exclusively college bred, and, therefore, not in touch or sympathy with the needs of tho common schools. This may or may not be the case; it certainly should not be true. Tho ioterests of education should be as safe in the keeping of edu cated men?thoroughly educated men as with any other class of men, but this is not the case every time, for some of the most impractical of men in the ap plication of common sense principies, even in educational matters aro thor oughly educated. Let the State Board be composed of educated men by all means, but at the same time let them be men of practical wisdom and the common schools will be safe. The Atlanta Board of Education takes the proper view of corporal punishment in the schools when it Bajs: "In many instances it becomes necessary to either whip a boy or expel him from school. If he is whipped he is the only one punish ed, while, if he is expelled, the punish ment falls on his parents more heavily than on him. A whipping is a tempo rary punishment, while expulsion is a lasting disgrace. * It is ea?>y, therefore, to make the choice. In view of these facts, it would be foolish and even wrong to banish the rod from the public schools." ? The most that anyone can lose is to lose faith in God. Closing Exercises of ilie Belton High School. The Belton High School hss just com pleted the most successful term within its history, and last week witnessed a series of closiug exercises of befitting variety and prominence. Controlled by a capable faculty and substantially encouraged by a strong public sentiment, this school has within a comparatively recent period made great advances in growth and character of work, end its commencement seasons have corresDondingly become occasions of con siderably more than local int?r?t. The initial feature of the uosing exer cises was a sermon by Rev. Or. 0. L. Martin, of Anderson, in the Baptist Church on Sunday, the lGih inst. The reputation which this gentleman bears for instructive thought and pleasing eloquence renders almost superfluous the statement of fact that his large audience was treated to an ' effort of power and rhetorical attractive ness. The fkal exercise* of the school proper weie given in the school building Tours day and Friday eveniogs and Friday after noon. Large audiences, at times exceed ing the seating capacity of the spacious audience chamber, attended and indicated a hearty appreciation of the programs rendered. Music was furnished by local talent and the Williamston string Land. The exercises of Thursday evening were held under the direction of the Usamean Literary Socitty, end were opened by Rev. M. McGee,'of Honea Path An address of welcome was delivered by Mr. Forest Vaughn, President of the So ciety. A declamation on "The Past" was given by Mr. John Djw Hunter. An original and forceful oration, enti tled ''Weed your own Row," was delivered by Mr. J. C. Acker. Tbe event of the evening was an address by Hon. John L. McLaurin, the brilliant young Congressman from the Sixth Dis trict, who, by his recent efforts in the line of public service, has largely directed the attention of tbe country to himself and the resources of the State. His address, with its well-chosen words of advice to the stu dent and its stirring references to com mendable deeds in the history of South Carolina, was a fine example of instructive oratory and well-merited the enthusiasm with which it was received. Mr. McLiu rin expressed his sincere appreciation of the invitation extended him, Eince he deemed it an honor, he said, to be selected by tbe youth of his native State to take part in their educational exercises. ' To see the young and rising generation earnestly seeking tbe first essentials of a useful and honorable life, said he, fills the heart of every true patriot with gratitude and confidence, because it is the most posi tive pledge that can be given, for the future integrity and greatness of this nation. In discnoeiog the benefits of education the speaker said : "In all the avocations of life, it is tbe ignorant who form the sub-stratum. It is the ignorant and un educated who perform the most menial services, who toll longe&t and hardest for the least remuneration. I would not urge you to seek an education for tbe purpose of oppressing the ignorant, but rather that you might escape their common fate. The general tendency of intellectual advance ment is towards r. nobler and better life. On the other hand, with but rare excep tion, ignorance always begets vice and im morality. Tbe two conditions are antag onistic to each other, and represent tbo vices end virtues of human nature- All that is noble, generous, sy mpathetic and bravo In human character is more Brinly rooted by Btudy and education ; while, on tbe contrary, tbe immoral and brntal in* Btincts are fostered and intensified throngh ignorance Since the time when God placed the son in the heavene, there is no record where man was ev?r advised to shun wisdom and seek ignorance. But, in all ages, at all times and under all con ditions, tbe voices of the pure and good, the just and wise, the humane and brave, have ever been heard, amid the din and turmoil of life, warnine; each and alito seek wisdom and understanding. The two great forces which stand be tween barbarism and civilization, have their foundations resting npon the intelligence of the people, and are marshalled about the church and school house. I would earnestly remind you, my yonng friends, that you are living in a most favored age, and should the future judge you by these opportunities, yon will be held toa higher degree of responsibility than has been de manded of any other generation. Fill up the mental storehouse which God has given to each of you. The trees of knowl edge are upon every hand, with luscious fruit, ready to be plucked. You owe this as a duty to yourselves, to your race, and to the S'.ate of South Carolina, that so generously places these opportunities within your reach. Suoh advantages cost money and money is difficult to obtain, yet one seldom hears of a tax for school purposes being criticised. Why? Because tbe idea thoroughly obtains that money spent for educational purposes means bet ter men and women, higher ideals of citi zenship and increased respect for law and order. Tbe rights of property, personal liberty and the security of life itself, walk hand in hand with educational preferment, while a disregard for law. rights of prop erty, and the value of human life is found among tbe savage and ignorant There is in every community a contest between the school house and tbej-til, the church and the penitentiary. It Is here that you should learn the rights and duties of citi zenship, and the obligations which tbey brin; together with those principles of government upon which our national economic fabric rests." Mr. McLaurin declared that good gov ernment begins and ends in a patriotic love of home, and he did not think be could more profitably employ the lime of his hearers than by calling attention to some historical facts connected with the history of South Carolina. He referred to the fact that 8outh Carolina was the first colony to form a Constitutional government, and according to Bancroft formed the Ameri can Union. He called attenti du to the records of John Rutledge, Charles Cotes worth Pinckney, Pierce Butler, James Butlf-r. Marion, Sumter, Moultrie, Pick ens, Horry. L?ureos and other leaders of the Revolutionary period, to Cilhoun, Mc Duffie, Lowndes, Rawllns and Hayne of a later date, to Mh Motte and other noble women of the State's history, to the tragic and heroic struggle of Travis, Bonham and Nelson at the Alamo, to the literature of Riomy, Slmms, Ca-roll, Gibbes. Timrod, Hayne, Calhoun, sufficient to give the State a standing before tbe world, and in the conclusion of his historical sketch paid a tribute to the part taken by South Caro linians in tbe civil war. "At this point, lest I forget it, said Mr. McLaurir, "I want to congratulate the people of tnis county upon the general ap pearance of thrift and prosperity that pre vaili. Tbe Piedmont region anyway, is the finebt portion of the continent, with the most magnificaut specimens of man I hood and womanhood in the world. I desire to especially commend the citi zens of this beautiful town for the thrift and energy disclosed upon every hand. The hearty co operation here between the glft9 of Providence and the energy of man ha9 produced results whioh should rejoice the heart of every citizen of Anderson County. The Piedmont is giving the bil ance of the State an object lesson in m*k- 1 lng tbe most of the natural advantages by which you are surrounded. "There is no true excellence without great labor," and you appear to have learned this in practice &a well as theory, and tie ripe fruits of 1 your labor, seen in your farms and facto ries, should abundantly compensate for 1 the time and energy expended. With a State filled with such advantages, and guided by euoh a people, its future succase 1 ia assured. The lieh gif;s of nature upon ' every hand cannot remain neglected. God 1 intends them to be utilized for the com fort of man He placed them here for that purpose, and if we prove recreant to the | opportunity, others will come in and seize them to th6ir own advantage. My fear is 1 not that the State will not increase in wealth and development?'.bis is bound to ! oome?but t> at our own pei p'e will not < get the full benefit of these evidences of 1 divine favor by neglecting the chance until it la too late. The attention of all other ? sections Is centred upon the South. The ' home-seeker, tho home-maker, the inves- i tor and laborer are all making a careful examination of our conditions and oppor tunities. The other day a man ?rote me from Wisconsin, inquiring about-climate, the value of land, etc. I wrote him back tbat our climate was worth $100 per acre, ; but that he could buy laud in Marlboro 1 C.mnty at from ?25 to?:0 per acre with the 1 climate thrown in as a bonus to induco 1 immigration. f The time has cerne when the progressive ( and enorgetic in our State must take the 1 lead Id the grand march of development. 1 We must not dally uutil the alien and the 1 stranger secures the advantages which ' were intended for our own people. Young men of the South, you must come 1 to the front and do battle for financial and industrial supremacy as did your fathers in times past for personal liberty. Prompt and energetic men and measures are need- I ed to turn capital into our State in a f mighty stream. We have but to prepare 1 the way. Kvery one should exert his in- J fiuence and intelligence, invest his time t and means in the inauguration of an era J of home development. Such efforts will i bring capital with tbe best class of itnmi- ? grants, and in the end make us rich and < contented. When the vast water powers j with which we are favored shall speed our ( own machinery, fed by our own products and guided by our own people ; when the t black smoke of thriving factories shall darken the skies, and the hum and whirl 1 of machinery be heard throughout the i State, then and not nntil fImn will the full measure of our opportu ea be apprecia ted. When ihn ?>??<?.which surround us ure manuiVc t-. upon our own noil into ihe wants arid fancies of the world ; when the white lleece3 of our fields are woven within our borders into the comforts and conveniences of humanity, and this kindly climate and warm, life-giving skies fully fraternize with the efforts of tho planter and manufacturer, the people of South Carolina will realiz9 their favored condi tion with all the blessings of industrial independence." Thursday afternoon vsas devoted to the exercises of the Primary Department, which, from the variety of the entertain ment afforded and the thoroughness of its execution by the pupils interested, were among the most pleasing of the whole series. These were prepnrjd and given under the direction of Mies Zula Brock, whom tho school has been sufficiently fortunate to have in churge of this and the musical department. The programme was as follows : Recitation?"Wanted, a Little Girl." By Ethel WilsoD. The Spelling Contest. Mmic by tbe Glee Club. Cantata?"The Quarrel Among the Flow ers." Dialogue?? The Bashful B)y." Recitation?"Bays can whielle, but girls rnufct6ing." By Carroll Brown. Hoop Drill?By twelve little gill*. Dialogue?"Tho Quack " Address?Mr. H. H. Watkins, Ander aon, 8. C Recitation?By Harris Kelly. Music by Glee Club. Dialogue?? The 2-40 Train." "The Bootblack Drill."?By nine boys. The address by Mr. Watkins was a happy eifort well received. He is quito popular ir; this vicinity, and both his presence and his words were sources of pleasure to his audience. He gave illustrations of what the poor and obscure may become by rea son of industry and intelligent applica tion, and emphasized the maxims that no man rises above his conception of life, and that any man of ordinary intelligence and right means has scarcely any limit to his accomp.ishments. He referred to tho ex panding and eunoblinginflusuces of Chris tianity in the education of the world, and aaserted that boys and girls should have in their lives at home at.d at school an ap preciation of their own immortal worth and a proud self-consciousness of the capabilities of the eouls which they pos sess. He discussed the question "What is the boy Worth?" And in conclusion said that each of the creatures discussed must ask this question, and bis answer Ehould be bis destiny. Friday night witnessed the exercises of the Oihaos Literary Societv, the member ship of which is compcsed of the young ladies of the echocl. The arrangement and execution of this programme left no room for unfavorable criticism. The har monies of music and color and poetry and youthful good looks were admirably blended. The main features of these exer cises w ere as follows : Prayer by H. H. Watkins, E*q. Recitation?' The Whistling Regiment." Miss Bertha Grubbs. Recitation?"The Burial of Moses." Miss Mamie Clinkscales. Valedictory Address-Miss Mamie Poore. Dumb bell Exercises- Mieses Louise Breazeale, Bertha Grubbs, Anna Laumer, Sarah Barmore, Mamie Clinkscales, Mabel Brown, Beesie Mattison, Daisy Vandiver. Indian Huntresses Drill?Misses Eula Shirley, Mary Horton, Hattie Willing hum. Helen Breazeale, Jessie Geer, Hattie Wilson, Louise Horton, Annie Griffin, Jeisie Grubbs, May Hunter, Mettie Elgin, Luta Geer, Inez Campbell, Emma Vaughn. The costumes for this exercise were original and beautiful in conception, and thoroughly appropriate to the scenes por trayed. This drill was the piece de resis tance of the evening. The flattering success of the eeries of en tertainments was due both to the intelli gent oo-operation of the pupils and the earnest care and supervision of the faculty, Prof. W. A. West, Principal, and Prof. A. H. Marchant and Miss Zula Brock. Assis tante. J. D. C. Zarline Island Pic Sic. Eager eyee made tired by a day of gaz ing on nature's panoramic beauty; lungs made sore from songs and shouts and side-splitting laughter, and many hearts made "sick unto death" from a day of love?this the feeling and this the talk by all the pleasure-hunting crew, which, on Saturday, 22od inst, went out in search of a new lease on life 'mong the laurel crowned and heaven-kissing hills, the flower-decked dales of historic old Zar line. Rugg?d hills, ivy crowned and wave-washed, from whose deep shaded sides limpid streams of cool water gush fortb; dreamy coverts, where hamadry ads hop and skip in tbe pale moonlight, and nimble nymphs hide and soek by day; giant oaks and dreamy, drooping willows from whose lofty bowers golden throated songsters pour down a flood of melody through all the day to answering notes of lapsing waters below; rugged steppes and broken boulders, and cliff and scar, "beauty lying in the lap of ter ror." Such is Zarline Island in her sad, dismantled beauty. The day was spent most pleasantly by a'l. The forenoon was devoted by the girls and boys to rambling, hunting ferns and culling flowers, while the old folks mixed and mingled together, talk ing over sweet memories of long ago. Then came the great and fitting climax of the day?dinner, banquet, feast?deli cious, invigorating, appetizing, bountilul and more than enough.; After the feast the party gathered and seated themselves at the foot o ' tho little mountain to hear the speaker of the day. Hon. R. A. Robinson, one of Ander son County's most popular Legielature men, introduced the speaker. He also gave us a historical sketch of Zirline. He said in his address to be at Zirline made him feel that he was almost on holy ground, as this was tho borne of his father and grandparents. The firet speaker on the program was the Hon. J- . -Grant, of the Anderson bar. Mr. Grant held the audience spell bound for ahmt sixty minutes. He chose for his subject, "The Possibilities of a Boy." He handled the subject with masterly skill, and made it very plain to tbe boy how be could make something out of himself, and on the otLcr hand he told them how easy it was for them, if they didn't improve their valuable and precious opportunities, to drift along and never amount to anything. Mr. Grant made a favorable impression on our peo ple, and we h.ipe in the near future to have him with us again. The next next on the program was a short speechon the proposed new county of Honea Path, by our esteemed friend, Mr. L. M. Wilson, of Honea Path. Mr. Wilson's speech was short but to the point. He gave iu the plain facts and fig ures of everything of importance about the proposed new county. He said he had heard it reported th?t Honea Path wouldn't build tho Court House and Jail. He said that report was false, and that Honea Path would build the public buildings. The next on I he program wes an ad dress by the Hun. J. V/. Ashley, but Mr. Ashloy said ho was unwell and didn't feel like making a speech and begged to be excused, and said he wouid call on Hon. R. B. A. Robinson. Mr. Robinson came to the front again, chuck full of his mother wit and humor, and for fifteen or twenty minutes kept the crowd in an uproar of laughtor. This clorfd the program for the day. The crowd scattered again, some betook themselves to quiet, cool bowers, some strolled oil' over the little mountain, eoms went for a stroll up the river while some went over to tho cool springs, as they [rush fortb from tho foot of the mountain. It was a lovely scene, as the writer sat on a high rock out in the river. We could see fur up tho river, and all along the stream wo could sog the young people 2oupli3d olf on every rock, peak and shady nook. I think there must have been some love made, as some of the jouplos looked so very happy. Saturday will bs a day long to be remembered by the young peoplo of Zirline. May Bud. Old People.

Senator Joseph Haynswortb Earle was a native of Greenville county. In tho county where he was born, bo accom plished tho greatest triumph of his polit ical life, election to the "United States Senate. Joseph Earle was born in Greenville county tho 30th of April 1S17, and was, theretore, just entering his ?lst year at the time of his death. His ancestors were among the early settlors of this county, and the family connection i? very largo. He completed .his college course at Fur man university, and after graduation, went to Clarendon county, where he taught school. His very careful, con scientious work as teacher gave him reputation and ho had numerous applica tions to fill positions. In 1868 ho was elected principal of the Chick Springs Academy, a nourishing Bchool located some ten miles from this city. While teaching, he devoted timo to tho study of law, his purpose being to fol low the legal profession. In 1870, after passing tho required ex amination, he was admitted to the practice of law and located in Anderson, where he remained until 187S when be removed to Su m ter. His war record was honorable and worthy of emulation. At the age of 17 he enlisted in Charles' Light Artillery battery and served with conspiouous gallantry through the war. His political life practically began in 187G. In that year he received the nomi nation of his party to represent Sumter county in the house of representative!. For reasons satisfactory to himself and his constituents he withdrew ?rom tho canvass before the election. Two years later, 1878, ho was again nominated for the same office and elected, serving one term. His services in the lower house were satisfactory and made a strong improssion on that body and in creased his popularity with the people of his county to such an extent that in 1SS2 he was the nominee for the State fonate and was elected. The impress he made on members of the legislature and tho party was so favorable that in 18S0 he was sent as a delegate to the National Democratic Con vention and in 1SS4 was again selected to fill the samo position. He was appointed to serve on the com mittee of the National Convention to notify G rover Cloveland of his nomina tion. He was recognized as one of the leaders in the State and in 188G was elected At torney General, serving two terms, per forming the duties of the office with scru pulous care and rare ability. In 18S3 he was unquestionably the choice of the State Democratic Convention for Governor, and probably the almost unanimous choice of the people. It is worthy of note that one of his strongest supporters for the nomination was B. R. Tillman. Mr. Tillman believed him to be the best exponent of the new ideas then taking shape and form, and advocated his nomination as a solution of the questions which two years later split the party and brought Mr. Tillman to the front as a leader. Senator Earle was loyal to his friend, Governor Richardson, whom he had promised to support for a second term, and declined to accept a nomination which was equivalent to election. Two years later, in 1800, was witnessed the strange canvass, better known as the reform movement. Tillman, who had strongly supported Earle in 183S for gov ernor was now bitterly fighting him. Tillman and Earle made the canvass for the nomination of Governor, Tillman running on the platform known as the "Shell Manifesto," Earle standing square ly on the Democratic platform as inter preted by previous conventions. Earle made a masterly fight, but was defeated and quietly accepted the result, bowing to the will of the majority. Ho resumed the practice of law in Sum ter and took no part in political matters in that county. 1891, Senator Earle moved to Greenville and became head of the law firm of Farle, Orr <fc Mooney. At the end of one year Col. Jas. L. Orr withdrew and tho firm name of Earle &. Mooney continued until 1895, when Senator Earle was elected Circuit Judge. Ilo continued to perform the duties of Judge until the 31st of Jan uary, 1897. The Senatorial campaign of 1S9G was notable as being the first primary held in the State for the office of United States Senator. Up to the day of the first campaign meeting on June 22nd at Manning, but one candidate had announced himself, Governor John Gary Evans. There were flying rumors that J. L. McLaurin, Judge Earle, W. D. Evans and possibly otherB would announce themselves at Manning. At the Manning meeting, after Gov ernor Evans had announced his candi dacy and addressed the meeting, a sensa tion was sprung by the appearance of John T. Duncan, of Newberry, chief clerk in the office of Secretary of State, who announced himself as a candidate for United States Senator. During the day, Judge Earle, through a friend, filed his pledge to abide the de cision of the primary, which was equiva lent to announcement. For some reason, or through some misunderstanding, the pledge was withdrawn the same day. On the next day, 23rd, Judge Earle formally announced himself a candidate in a card to the Democratic voters of the State. He was holding court in Charles ton at the time, and explained his absence as follows : "Controlled by the requirements of duty I can not leave the bench and go upon the hustings, and I know that you will excuse my absence from tho political meetings now being held." Judge Earle did not appear in the cam paigu until the 13th of July, at his old home, Sumter. The correspondent of the Xewn in speaking of Judge Earle's speech at so m'.or said : "Judge Earle entered the field and pitched his campaign on a high level." The Senatorial campaign was unevent ful until the 21at of July, when Governor Evans made statements to which Judge Earle took exception. This was the be ginning of the difficulty between Earlo and Evans which culminated in the diffi culty at Florence on the 24th, in which blows were exchanged. After this the canpaign was quiet and there was no further troublo between Earle and Evans. The first primary was held on Tuesday, the 25th of August.and no election resulted. The State democratic committee ordered a second primary to be held on Tuesday, the Sth of September. Senator Tillman, who had previously declined to take any part in the canvass, appeared as the advocate of Governor Evans and urged his election, insisting that he was the "logical candidate" of the reform party. Earle developed wonderful strength all over the State and on the 11th an official tabulation of the vote was made, showing the majority of Earle over Evans to bo 3,348 votes. Earle received 42,915 votes and Evans 39,007. This settled the question and Judge Earle was the nominee for Senator. Judge Earlo continued to perform his duties as Circuit Judge until the 31st of January, 1897. On the2Gtb of January, the two Houses of the General Assembly took a vote and Judge Earle was unanimously elected by euch House, and this action was confirmed the 27th by a joint session. On the 27lh Judge Earlo handed in his resignation as Circuit Judge to take eil'oct the 31st. On March the 2nd he went to Washing ton to take his seat. After a service of two weeks he was taken sick and re mained in his hotel for a week and resum ed his duties. lie introduced tho resolution request ing the appointment of committees and intended to addross the Senate the next day on the resolution but the same night was taken ill. He remained in his room for two weeks and returned to Greenville. His first trouble in Washington was a severe attack of grip. His death resulted from Bright's dis ease. Everything which the best medical skill could suggest was dono to stay the disease which was sapping his life, but without avail. At twonty minutes after five o'clock yesterday afternoon, surrounded by all the members of his family and a few warm personal friends, ho quietly passod away, being conscious up to tho last.

Fork News. Children's Day at Townville Presby byterian Church next Sunday. Mr. Andrew Hunter, of whom we wrote last week, is still in a precarious condi tion. He is 82. Tho dry weather has enabled the farmers to put their crops in fine condition. Albert Farmer has left the care of the business of N. 0. Farmer A Son to bis father and gone to run the commissary ?tore at Portman Shoals at a good salary. All the schools in the Fork aro closed for Spring vacation. Miss McWhorter, who had charge at Shady Grove, has re turned to Abbeville. There is a good deal of sickness in the Fork, and the doctors are busy. Quite a number of Fork people are ab sent on the Charleston excursion this week?more than formerly. Mr. E. W. Holcombo, who has done more bard work probably than any other man in the Fork since the war, complains of (ailing health and strength. Mrs. Charles S. Milford, who baa been in bad health for so long, is able to ride out. **. Townville Hems. Our most esteemed friend, Mr. A. Hun ter, living near this place, is still very poorly. A good rain is very much neededjn this country. The farmers say that they are as far along with their crops as at this time last year. Mr. W. E. Fant, of this place, contem plates going to Charleston on the Smith excursion. Mr. J. B. Holcombe, of this place, bad the misfortune to lose his blacksmith shop by lire on last Saturday evening. Carelessness with fire by one of his hands was the cause. He saved his bellows, a sulky plow and log cart, but all the rest was consumed by the flames. Tbo Presbyterian 8unday School will observe Children's Day on next Sunday. Mr. F. M. Bruce, of this place, who has been running tbo county road machine for tho last two months, has obtained a vacation ol a week and v/ill take in the excursion. Misi Sallie McCarley, of this place, is very sick at this time. Prof. W. A. Dickson, of near this plaoe, has vacated his school and says ho don't know what to do with himself. He came up one day this week and said he would rather work than loaf. We thought that deserved to be put in print. Who will be the next? Wheat is looking fine, but the rust is on a good deal of it, but we hope not enough to injure it to any great extent. The capital stock is about all subscribed for building the Oakway, Townville and Anderson Telephone line. We presume the building will commence in about two weeks. The Baptist Sunday School took up a collection last Sunday to help cancel the debt of the Foreign Board. It amounted to $12.33, and they added the collection of the Sunday before to it and sent ?18 to the Board. Mrs. R. 0. Tribble, of Anderson, is spending awhile with her daughter, Mrs. Drayton Babb. We-consider the death of 8enator Earle a calamity to our State. We learned of his death with sorrow, as we are certain did most all Carolinians. Old Rosin De Bow. Moseley News. Mrs. Jas. T.Barnes returnedhome the 14th inst, having spent three weeks at Anniston, Ala. M rs. W. G. Watson, from Anderson, was visiting here last week. Miss Roea Ramply, of Starr, spent a few days here recently. Mr. Charlie Boyd, from Hester, was circulating here last week. Mr. J. B. McAdams, with his mother, spent a day here recently. M(issrs. Clayton and Jim Hampton, front Alice, were here the 16th Inst. Jim mie was worshipping, Clayton, "dear" h timing. Misses Lucia and Mamie Campbell, Mrs. Crayton Cann, with her daughter, Miss Dessie, spent a day or two here re cently. What is the matter with "The Ram bler" of Lowndesville, and what does he want, anyhow? Every reader of the In tellioencer knows that for some time he's been seeking a controversy with us. Now he's got it and howling on account of it. He reminds one of the little fellow who cried for the wasp, thenecroamed as soon as he got it. But In his last article he says he doesn't care to enter a dispute with us. "Well, the fox wanted to retire after he had lost his tail in a trap, be caueo he couldn't keep up his counte nane?." He talks about disgusting arti cles. Just read his writing of tho 12th issue, please. The boys say it is the re sult of a too intimate association with Old Ned Riley. And whilst we say that no gentleman would have been guilty of sucb, we are inclined to bear with him, knowing that 'tis the result of a sap-head and not a bad heart. We presume that a man of his calibre who contributes to a daily paper and pays ten dollars a year for the same, can well afford to make a beaver-dam fool of himself, if only to de nounce the Moseley correspondent. Again, he says "we cannot regard any one beneath our notice, but as long as any one, we care not who, maintains that there are streete at Moseley we shall brand him as a cowardly liar." Now, Mr. "Rambler," I musiteli you that you have shown a reckless disregard, not only for yourself, but for "others," all for your own gratification. Evidently you are simply a negative evil, devoid of mo tive for objective good, subjectively ab sorbed in and objectively devoted to your own pleasure at the expense of time, at the expense of other people, their con venience, feeding like a louse on other people's beads, and preparing your idle brain for the devil's workshop. But the most contemptible part of your writing is, that you copied it from an article that Beatty Sherard wrote in April, '96, de nouncing one of the State Constables. And to say the least, you are a small po tato and rotten at that, and there is no language which can properly caricature your littleness and your meanness. Mr. W. B. Harris, from Hartwell, Ga., was on our streets last week. Some of our young men etili visit on the Ridge occasionally. Messrs. Sam MoCollough and Robert left on the 3 o'clock train Saturday for Elbertou, Ga. Pedro. Card of Thanks. Editors Intelligencer : I desire to return thanks to my kind friends and neighbors for their many acts, close attention and words of consolation during the long ill ness and death of my dear daughter.

J. 8ITT0N. Autun, 8. C. HENRY P. SITTON, Pendleton, S. C, Executors. May 19, 1S97 47 Oct 1 _ AN HISTORIC LEGEND ! Many, many moons ago, when young ambition slept and dreamed in the bosom of many a drowsy tradesman hereabouts, and strong handed competition had not yet raised the magic wand which invites and incites the bargain hunter from the four winds of old earth to come and be sated, there chanced this way a weary, weary pilgrim, who became enchanted with the lovely garden spot which the red skins had deserted. On his breast he wore this ensign, ' lead, let those follow who will." On his brow was stamped in scarlet letters this significant word? "DEFYANCE." A smile of welcome lit up his counte nance, and soon it was heralded through hill and dale that a new General was in the field, and one born to lead. And for eight years past the indomitable C. S. MINOR and the TEN CENT STORE have led the van, and cut their road through the solid walls of Competition, and planted their banner above the dis mantled hopes of Competition. We drive the bargains home with such sledge-ham mers as this : Large Standard Lamps, fourteen inches high, 13c. Common Lamps 10c. The Daisy Lamp 25c. The Wild Rose Lamp 25c. The Nellie Bly Lamp 25c Good Tobacco at 15c. and 20c. per lb. 100 Fish Hooks for 5c. Chewing Gum at half price to hear oth ers kick.
