Anderson Intelligencer. PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY. j. P. CLINKSCALES, 0. C. LANGSTON, Editors and Proprietors. - TERMS: ONE YEAR.?1 50 SIX MONTHS . 75 WEDNESDAY, JULY 7, 1897. The Board o? Trustees of the South Carolina College have elected Prof. F. C. Woodward to eucceed Dr. Wood row as President ofthat institution. The Board is receiving many congratulations upon tho wisdom displayed. The bears say that tho world's cotton countries are now growing a crop of 14, 000,000 to 15,000,000 bales, with fully two thirds ofthat amount to come from tho United States. They contend that the supply on Sept. 1 will be only slightly lese than last year, and that with the prospect of a crop considerably larger, prices should not be above 0 cents. The relations of the business man and the farmer are rociprocal. Eich should patronize the other. It never pays in the Jong ran for a customer to send away for an article which can be procured of a lo cal merchant. The money that remains in the community is a benefit to each and overy member of that community while that which Is sont away is not apt to return._ The President has signed the bill ap propriating ?200,000 to the trans-Missls aippi and International Exposition, to be held at Omaha, Neb., next year. This will be the first exposition of any magni tudo over attempted West of the Missis sippi. All foreign countries have been invited to participate and it is expected that tbe Fair will equal in interest and attendance the big shows of Atlanta and Nashville._ Statistica show that the people of this country fall far short of their British ousins in their capacity for guzzling. Though there are but 3S,000,000 people on Jhe British isles they consumed $745,000, I worth of spirits, wine and beer last year, while the 72,000.000 people of the United States consumed bat $S61,C93,832 worth. The rate per capita in Great Britain was $20, and was but $12 In the United States. The Senatorial camp?ign opened at Suinter last Monday, and the meeting was a lively one. Irby and McLaurin were the only speakers and they almost came to blows. Irby has adopted Tin man's tactics of 1890, but we doubt if he will be as succs:isful as the latter was. McL urin certainly got the best of the Sumter meeting. The other candidates in the race are John Gary Evans, John T. Duncan and S. G. Mayfield. In many of tho State Universities there are short courses in agriculture which young men may tuke cheaply and be great gainers thereby. A scientific knowledge of farming will help to pro duce crops cheaply. It will give infor mation on how to vary the products of a farm and adapt them to the wants of the market. Manyii young fellow who thinks there Is no pUoe for him in the world would find a very usef ol and pro fitabe niche to fill if he understood scien tific farming. The State of South Carolina will have to surrender the Agricultural Hall to Ed ward B. Wosloy. Last week in the Uni ted States Circuit Court Judge Simonton handed down a decision in which he re fused to stay tho execution intended to prevent Wesley from taking possession of the property. This case will be re membered as having first been hoard be foro Judge Simonton, and decided against the Stato. Tbe decision from the lower Court was sustained by the United States Court of Appeals and the Supreme Conrt of the United States. This oquntry has contiibuted large puma to aid the starving in India, and the government has chartered a ship to con vey food to them. Money has been ap propriated to care for ttarving Americane in Cuba, and Gen. Leo and others of onr consular representatives have reported that tbe amount is sufficient. But Wey ler's policy has been to drive into the towns all the country people from their homes and farms, in order that they might not raise- crops, which might be used to help the revolutionists. Thou sands uf these country people are collected in the coast towns, and they are starving, and Weyler's plan does not contemplate any provision for them. They are starv ing, and are nearer to us than the people of India. To help thorn will not help the revolutionists, and if Weyler'is plan is not to ?et control of Cuba by starving all the present inhabitants to death, ho ought not to object to charitable donations to keep these people alive while he carries on his war. If ho objects, be will de monstrate that tho worst charco against him Is true. Among the laws passed by the Indiana Legislature the pest winter was one which may become the model in time for other States to follow in the matter of punishment of criminals. The Act in question is called the indeterminate sen tence law from tbe fact that neither judge ' nor jury is permitted any longer to fix exactly the term of a convict's imprison ment. The pardoning power is also tak en away from the Governor, which will undoubtedly prove a great relief to that official. By the Indiana law all crimee except treason and murder in the first degree come under the indeterminate sen tence Act In mo3t cases there are a minimum and a maximum period of im prisonment fixed by law. The Judge is required to sentence the prisoner for the minimum period. If tbe minimum pe riod is two years, tho maximum ten yearx, the convict goes to the penitenti ary for two years. Whether he Is to serve ont his full term depends entirely upon himself. In evory Indiana State prison thore is a Board of Inspectors composed of tbe warden, chaplain, physician and trustees. These are called the Board o? Commissioners of parole. From the timo a convict enters the prison his conduct is watched closely. His history, his educa tion and ancestry are recorded. At the end of tho minimum period of sentence for his c ime hois called before the Board of Commissioners. Every fact in regard to his behavior and his probable future is canvassed. It all is satisfactory, he is re leased on a parole which lasts till the nn expired term of bis sentence is passed. If a ten years' convict is released on parole at the oud of his miulmuru sentence, say two years, the Board of Commissioners will keep an eyo on him for eight years. If arrested meantime, he is clapped into prison and must serve out his unexpirod term. Such is an outlino of tho new law. The framers of it believe that it will re sult in good in two ways?it will oncorjr ago lawbreakers to become good citizens and It will relievo tho overcrowded peni tentiaries of tho Stato. Men undor 30 years old are not to be sentenced to peni tentiaries, bnt to reformatorio?, under the new law. Youths and hardened crimi nals already under one roof are to be sep arated. mm ? m ? The Indianapolis Journal has dis covered that the war Is over and says : Tho carrying of Confederate flugs by the Ex Confederate Veterane at Nashville seems to have been done in a purely sen timental spirit, and as the United States flag was conspicuously honored there was nothing offensive in it. Missionary Conference. The Woman's Foreign Missionary So ciety of the South Carolina Conference held its eighteenth annual session in An derson last week. The Society in this State has ovor 5,000 members. The re ports showed that ?G.000 had been raised lor Missions during tho past year. The Society (taking in all the Conferences of tbe Southern Church) numbers 72.000 members, which raised, last year, $81, 000.00 More than $1,000,000 have been collect ed since the organization of the Society. The Christian women of tho Southern Methodist Church are doing a great work in sending the gospel to the benighted nations. They employ 48 missionaries in tho Indian Territory, in Mexico, in Brazil and in China. Tbey have a Bible and Training School at Kansas City, where those who offer themselves as mis sionaries are thoroughly prepared for the work. In the management of all tho af fairs and interests connected with the Society they have shown a remarkable business capacity. Their financial state ment could teach our Reform Legislators some lessons in economy. The Coher ence which met in our city was a repre sentative body of Christian women. There was not a "New Woman" among them. The honored and gifted President of tho Society, Mrt>. Bishop Wightman, was prevented from attending tho Con ference by the illness of her sister, Mrs. Longstreet; but in her absence Mrs. Her bert, the Vice-President, ably presided over tbe body. The reports and discus sions were instructive and entertaining. These good women are full ox enthusi asm, and their hearts go out in sympathy to the benighted women in heathen lands. Their visit to our city was greatly enjoyed by all. We hope they will come again. Tbe following officers were elected for the ensuing year. President, Mrs. W. D. Wightman, Charleston; Vice-President, Mrs. E. S. Herbert, Orangeburg; corresponding sec retary, Mrs. J. W. Humbert, Yorkville; recording secretary, Miss I. D. Martin, Columbia; treasurer, Mrp. J. W. Greer, Greenwood; district secretaries, Mrs. G. P. Watson, Charleston; Mrs. M. C. Owen, Cokesbury; Mrs. J. E. Wannamaker, Columbia; Mrs. J. R. McLellan, Flor euce; Mrs. M. H. Goodgion, Greenville; Mrs. J. C. Campbell, Marion; Mrs. W. L. Wait, Orangeburg; Mrs. L. C. Jeffrey, Rock Hill; Mrs. A. B. Milligan, Spartan burg; Mrs. C. L. Stubbs, Sumter; for editress of column in Southern Christian Advocate, Miss I. D. Wait. Mr. J. D. Murdock, of Greenwood, was appointed auditor. The following resolutions were adopted by a rising vote: Be&olved, 1st. That we thank our dear eister, Mrs. E. S. Herbert, for the able manner in which she has presided over this conference and assure her of our love and appreciation of her very efficient ner vices. 2od.

Jameson. Clo:k. A Card from a >'egro Minister. Messrs. Editors: Please permit mo through your columns to say with all the emphasis I can command that I neither knew the whereabouts of the person for whom search wai made last week at any lime after the otTense with which he i.s charged was committed, nor did I directly or indirectly assist or counsel in any plans or schemes for his concealment or escape, nor did I know of any plans to effect his escape, nor do I know whether any such plans were made. Iamns innocent and ignorant of any thing relating to him and to hia move ments on any man in town. I say this in view of the rumors in cir culation to the effect that I aided or coun seled tho person above referred to, or hie friends, in helping him to avoid arrest. I condemn as stroDgly ae any man the crime that was perpetrated, and hope as strongly as any one can for the just pun ishment of any one who is guilty of such an offense. I trust this statemont will meet with tho calm consideration by all that it de serves, and that the injustice dono mo may bo rectified a3 far as possible. J. P.

The most brilliant ? lou&ion that has oo currod in L-w ? ? .-ville for a number of voiua wn* ;.. rutertainment Riven last Wednesday evening by Mies Meta Allon to her many friends. Misa Allen, who ie tho perfection of hospitality, is always an ideal hostess, and looked more charming on this occanion than usual, nicking each and all her guests cordially welcome, and rdl agreed that this labt was the best of all the happy evenings she liad epent in mak ing glad hor appreciated friend?. The en tire parlor was brilliantly illuminated and placed at the disposal of "tho guests. Tnen, tco, the night was charming and funned by zephyr-like bree zee, fresh end sweet The boat was to a cert?iu extent forgotten The elegant houao with its exquieile fur nishings is perfectly adapted tu entertain ing. A Booiable is tho most delightful of all entertainments, as there can bo no time for formality, and everyono enjoys them selves in the way most congenial to them. In the ddsky hours the charming mai dens flitted majestically through the rooms, the happy laughter, tbe tones of friendly greeting, the murmured words of love and the strains of lovely music were all in harmony blended. Well could we say with Lord Byron, "Beauty had| gath ered there." A good place tbis was for tho study of femiuine beauty at its very best? tbe beauty of youth. The gathering was one of illustrious and handsome people, and the costumes mado tbe room a palace for wonderful color aud brilliance. At 10 o'clook tbediniug hall was thrown open, and appetizing dainties W6re served cn boautilul tables. Here, Undor the tort ligh ts of shaded lamps, congenial couples drank to t06ir health and praised unstint edly the charming hostess whose fairy touch had created tbe auspicious occasion. Everything tended to while away the time so pleasantly that it seemed that tbny had been there only too chort a time, when the clock told the hour for retiring. It was certainly one of tho most enjoyable gath erings eT6r witnessed in Lowndesvilie. The following were present: Misses Ethel Speer, Annie Liddell, Nellie Moseley, Mamie Bowman. E len Moorehoad, Allie Fennel, Emma Clinkscales, Ada Fennol and Annie Clink?cales: Messrs. J. Ejrl Allen, A. Henry Moseley, B,. Josiah Hutchison, Cha3. M. Horton, W.

Biker and family, of Wash ington, D. C, are in the city with rela fives. Messrs. J..bn and George Black, of Due West, were in the city last Wednesday on business. Our young friend, Cbas. M Horton, left Thursday morning for McCormlck. He will operate the keys of tbe telegraph in strument in that sylvan town for a couple of weeks. There no doubt will be a lively contest in the next election. Politice are getting deborious these days, to say the least. A little more patriotism and principle, loss boodleism, cliqueism, political bummera and hypocritical religion of all kinds, is what South .Carolina needs if she would Srosper. If old Balaam could hear one of outh Carolina's Senatois braying in the Sanane at Washington he would long once more for a trip through Jerusalem. It Is claimed by tome that the negro is the happiest mortal in tne world, belog free from all caro and responsibility. His sole objeci in life?to get enough to eat, a chance to go to sleep, and seldom ever break bis favorita command, ' Thou ?halt not work on Sadday." His favorite amuiemeut is to go to a ' church fostlble" or ' hot supper," where, uudcr tbe influ ence of the crowd and copions draughts from a email bottle, he proceeds to draw his "razzer" or a one bladed pocket kuife and make himself known ae a '"bad nig ger." The next most enjoyable thing he finds to do is to go on an excursion. With his ticket and a few cents extra in his pocket, a red baudacnagrossly tied around hie comely neck, put bim aboard a train and j cu bave an object of ideal happiness. Many such specimens as this passed here Monday bound for Augusta. There were many white people on the train who had different cars. Tne excursionists were from Anderson and intermediate points, and seemed to be enjoying life bugely. Quite a number of.negroes got on here, too, leaving their seclcded retreats long before "Old Sol" bad peeped over the eastern horizon, and gathered at the depot to'gel; sight of the "through limited ex presa" as her whistle thundered through the dim distance. There was very little, if any, drinking in the crowd, and every thing free m ed to be passing off nicely, but whether i 1 Augusta a combination of ' ?0 proof ' and "mountain dew" wiil c?use a riot romains te bo seen.

Opening Meeting of Senatorial Cam paign Proves Red Hot. Special lo Atlanta Journal. SUMTEit, S. C, July ).?Tho campaign for United States Senator In South Caro lina was formally opened here to-day with the first meeting of a series of 40 to bo held in tho various counties of tho Stato. On the 31*t of August tho people will voto in a primary election f?r their choice and the candidato who gets a majority of the votos cast will bo tho next United States Senator. It may happen that no candidate will get a majority of all tho votes, and in that event tho race must bo run over \ again. This happened last year. In the first race between liarle and Evans tho latter got a plurality, running ahead of \ General Earlo, but as ho did not got more votos than all the rest combined tho low est man was dropped (there wore three in tho race), and on tho socond trial Earlo was victorious. Tho Legislature is in honor bound to 1 ohooso as Senator tho candidate who is successful in tho primaries. This is in accord with the constitution of tho Demo cratic party, and it virtually amounts to a popular election of United States Sena- ? torn. The Legislature that will carry out tho popular verdict this time is already chosen. It was about half-past 1 o'clock when the meeting began in the Sumter opera house. Tho lower iloor of the theatre wae well filled but tbero was a total lack of preliminary enthusiasm. The audience consisted of town and country people. Although it was Independence day, there was not the sound of a firecracker in the town. Everything was quiot and order ly, the calm before the storm. Senator McLaurin was the first speaker, County Chairman Purdy paying a tribute to Senator Earle's memory and pleading for a campaign on a high plane, before introducing him. McLaurin was received with much ap plause. Ho denied that he was mixed up in any combination or had made pledgee to any man or set of mon, defying his opponents to prove anything to tho con trary. He also paid a tribute to the memory of Senator Earle. He endorsed the primary plan and said it prevented trading. He then gave an account of his stewardship, speaking at great length. As he proceeded the house filled up and there was a good crowd which gave him very careful attention. When McLanrin had finished ex-United States Senator John L. M. Irby rose and was introduced. Then for three-quarters of an hour there was enacted as exciting scenes as perhaps have ever been wit nessed at a campaign meeting in this or any other State. Things looked serious time and again. At one time Irby and McLaurin were only prevented from clinching by the in terference of those on the stage. Irby, in his speech, applied the severest language to McLaurin, and he come to the front. When Irby rose the cheers for McLaurin were deafening. He made an opening sally, and McLaurin made an apt aside, and then the cheering was such that Irby, despite repeated efforts, oould not go on. Then when Chairman Purdy quieted the crowd, he started out charging the crowd with trying to howl him down. He said he knew that it was all fixed in this hot bed of Haskellism and Conservatism. Pretty soon he said he didn't care how many of these city henchmen tried to prevent him from speaking. Chairman Purdy advanced then and said that it was their deeire to give Irby a respectful hearing. If he could not be respectful, they did not want to hear him. The committee was not responsible for tbe outburst of feeling. Irbyroplled that they had insulted him first. Irby went on then and characterized McLaurin as a ring streaked, striped and speckled politician. He charged him with dishonesty, and with boing guilty of treason and treachery. lie said that the foulest conspiracy that ever existed in this State was now in forco, and McLau rin was its beneficiary. In this vein he went on for some time. Finally, McLaurin, who had turned very pale, jumped up and faced him, saying: "Irby, let's have an understand ing right boro. We havo known each other some time. You can't acens?me of dishonesty. You can't insult me that way." The two mon faced each other. Irby replied that he had said it, and ad ded, "I say further that if you hit me you will bo hit back." . At this juncture Editor Appelt rushed up to McLaurin, and told him he would have a reply. Charles Emanuel rushed in and said to Irby, "No one but a cow ard would talk that way." Irby replied that no one but a coward would insult a guest.- Mr. Purdy and others got tho mon quieted, the house being in an uproar. Irby wont on to say that N. G. Gonza les was McLaurin'a chaperone; that Gon zales had Governor Ellerbe hypnotizedV He continued in a like vein to the end. When Irby finished, McLaurin de nounced the charge that ho was m a com bine with Gonzales or anybody else as absolutely falso. Irby retorted that he would prove it. No other candidates apptared, though Irby said that other pledges would be filed, and the fast and furious meeting ended, having lasted only one hour and twenty minutes. No one seems to know who the other candidatos referred to by Irby will bo. The Opposition to McLaurin. Columbia, July 1.?If the rumors that are hoard count for much there is abnn dant chances that tbero will be more than tho atmospheric heatabout tbe approach ing campaigu. There is all kinda of talk about what might happen in certain con tingencies, but, as has often been the case, nothing may come of the talk. It is understood to-day that there will be a conference hero next Saturday of those who etylo themselves "True Blue" Reform loaders. The understanding ?b that the Evans-Irby faction want to have a friendly conference, at which it can be decided who should make tho race as a representative of that faction of the Re form party. Col. Irby has called his wing the "True Blues," eo that will have to be accepted for the pr?sent?t l-saat. The outlook yesterday was that Col. Irby would make tho race. John Gary Evans is anxious to try his strength before the people again, but is willing, it appears, to give way to any one the conferoace may suggest. There has been some talk of State Senator R B. Watson being se lected, in* ca?e Col. Irby or Governor Evans does not mako tho race. At all events Just now it appears quite certain that, in addition to tho avowed candi datos, Senator McLaurin, Mr. S G. May field, Col. Keitt and Mr Donaldson, the "True Blues" will have a man iu the field. So when time is called at Sumter it need not be surprising if there are half a dozen candidatos in tho field, although it is possible that some of those who are mentioned are playing to the political galleries and want to be approached with "propositions." Thus far it appears to be entirely a fight among those who are and have been iden tified with the Reform faction, and the disposition just now among the Conser vatives id to hold off and seo what will happen and reserve their strength. If | tho light keeps up, as is clearly indicated, it is easy to see what power the Conserva tive vote will possess. Senator McLaurin arrived in tbe city to-day. He is stopping at the Grand Central Hotel. Ho says that he came bere a little early to consult with some of bis friends, who had asked him hero. He had nothing to Bay on tho political situa tion for publication. Ho said that all he would havo to say ho expected to say in tho progross of tho coming campaign. He was quite anxious to know who would bo iu tho field against him, so that he might tho better know how to load his gun. Senator McLaurin is in lino spirits and talks pleasantly about his campaign work.?News and Courier. Woman Shows her Superiority. Washington, June ilo.?Women do not always get the worst of it in tbe Gov ernment departments- Misa Lillian Pike, of Arkansas, a clork in the office of the coast and geodetic survey, has just distinguished herself by defeating tho brightest young man in the office in a difficult mathematical examination. A few weeks ago Secretary Gage needed an export mathematician to perform cer tain duties in the treasury. A young man In tho coast survey applied for the placo, and so did a young woman from the samo office. Secretary Gage asked the chief | of tho survey to recommend one or the other of the applicante, but he refused to do so on tbe ground that both were equal ly proficient and capable. The Sacretary thon decided to examine the two clerks to determine which should have the place. The civil t-orvice commission was di rected to conduct *?o examination, and to mako it as difficult? possible The young man pulled through with a per centage 84, but Miss Pike got a per centage ol ?l. She was accordingly given the placo. An interesting feature of this case is that the young woman had very few in fluential friends, but the young man know several Senators and Congressmen, and they all urged Secretory Gago to givo bim tho place, ~ Irby TS. McLaurin. Washington, July 1.?The announce ment ollrby's candidacy against McLau rin was not a surprise here. The South Carolina congressmen all agree that it means a hot, iiorco, typical "Reform" campaign, and no momber of the delega tion is willing to go on record in predict ing the result. S?r. Latimer eaid : "I am not commit ted, and I told McLaurin bo yesterday. I have no concealments in the matter. If McLaurin'selection means a combination to defeat Tillman's re-eloction, I am against him. Until all doubt in that di rection is removed I have nothing to say, and whilst I may be fresh in legislative experience, I want the State to know that whatever progrese has beon made in reference to the dispensary bill and what ever hope is entertained of immediate or ultimate success, is due entiroly to the efforts of Senator McLaurin." Representativo Talbert said : "I have nothing to Bay in the matter. The men tion of my name in conneotion with the seuatorsbip is tho unsolicited suggestion of others. I promptly declined to enter tain it, and I don't care to discuss the present situation at this time." Representative Strait said : "I am re sponsible for the use of Talbert's name as a senatorial candidate, and I represented the controlling eentiment In my con gressional district in asking him to be a candidate. It will be a close race in my district between McLaurin and Irby." Representative Stokes enid: "Irby'e candidacy seriously complicates the situ ation. Iroy has great capacity aa an or ganizer. Hewae the.only Reform leader In the Stato who succeeded in harmoniz ing factional differences in the party, and has a strong personal following." Representative Wilson said : "It will be a sizzling hot fight from start to finish. Irby ia one of McLaurin's discoverers. He considered him at one time the peer of Calhoun and Hayne in ability and statesmanship, and McLaurin's rhetorical efforts in adulation of Irby had much to do with his phenomenal political career." "If he doesn't flunk when tho pinch comes," said Mr. Sampson Pope, "Irby will make a great campaign and will be a formidable candidate." The impression here Is that tho attempt to make the tariff the issue in the cam paign will force Senator Tillman to the espousal of McLaurin's candidacy.? Columbia Slate. Lawyers Discuss Lynching. Atlanta, Ga., July 2.?At the Georgia Bar Association meeting to-day some of the most distinguished lawyers of the Stale' spoke on lynch law. The Hon. Hal T. Wise, who nominated Mr. Bryan at the 'Chicago Convention, said: "Lynchings in Georgia are almost in variably the result of horrible outrages perpetrated upon helpless and defence less women. Is it because the people are apprehensive that such a culprit with proof of guilt would escape punishment if left in the custody of the law? Ko one doubts that under our system as it st?nde bis conviction would be be assured. Is it because an unreasonable delay in trial and execution is apprehended? No one doubts the readiness of any Judge in Georgia to call a special term of the Court in mich caaes, whenever the welfare of society demanded it. Is it because of an unusual spirit of lawlessness among the white people of Georgia that they would perpetrate or pormit such mob violence? I dare say that the criminal record of this class of people would compare favorably with that of any State or nation on the globe. "Why, then, is lynch law more fre quently practiced here than in the North and West? It Is because the crime to which we have alluded is more frequent here and the danger of ita perpetration le greater. He who supposes that the evil can be corrected by legislation simply does not understand and appreciate the situation, especially In our rural districts. "The laboring farmer often has to leave his wife and children at home beyond the call of neighbors or reach of help. When the news of the outrage spreads every man within the sphere of ita influence takes it home to himself, not knowing when the happiness of his home circle may be blighted by an injury more fear ful than death. The Anglo-Saxon blood that courses through his veins is inflamed to a white heat. "The man reasons that Buch a criminal at largo is more to bo dreaded than the most ferocious beast that ever roamed the forest; that he has placed himself beyond the pale of the law, and is not entitled to the benefit of either law or clergy. He is lynched because his victim should not be subjected to the further humiliation of de tailing in a Court of law a crime which ehe can hardly whisper to her husband or breathe to her parent?. He is lynched because of the conviction in the public mind that this is the most effectual way. of preventing a repetition of the offence. He is lynched not because the lynchera have less regard for law and order, but because they have more concern for the sanctity of home and the protection of ita inmates. "To attempt a correction of euch a sen timent, such anxieties, such feelings by statute would prove as futile as an effort to overcome tho fury of the cyclone or to prevent the lightning flashes from tho storm cloud." These eentimenta were endorsed by Col. Thomas, and Hon. W. C. Glenn and others, and only called for one spirited speech on the other side, which was made by Col. N. J. Hammond, formerly mem ber of Congress from the Atlanta district. Torn From a Parachute. Lyncuburo, Va., June 28.?Walter Steele, an aeronaut, met his death here this afternoon while making a balloon ascension. The ascension took place from amidst the trees in Rivermont park and a large crowd was present. There was much comment beiore the balloon was let loose on the danger of making the ascent from such a place, and there were plenty of clear fields nearby. When the balloon shot up, Steele was swinging to the parachute. As soon as the balloon proper got above the tall trees a gust of wind struck it, moving it swiftly in a horizontal directior. Steel, dangling by the parachute, 20 feet below the ballocn, was dragged into the upper branch?e of a tree, tearing the parachute from its fastenings. The unfortunate man fella iiatance of 100 feet, striking against limbs In the descent. Death was instantaneous. It io not known here where the aeronaut's borne was. Ho Lived too Long.

Farmer In Memory of Oar Dear Brother Clifton. It seems so very strange That the Lord does break the chains And take out one precious link, And there remains a blank. A blank It seems now, but his life was so bright Our hearts ought not to be burdened bue light. He was so sweet, so gentle and kind His form cannot be erased from our mind. To sing and play, 'twas his delight, At close of day and close of night. But oh ! now a key cannot bo touched But he will to our memory rush. He sang sweet on es , but sweeter now, For ho nas joined that heavenly choir. God grant we all may sing there ; So Help us, Lord, to pr?paie. Ono took flight to warn the rest. 'Tie hard, but all for the best. 'Tis so strange for us to sec One in blooming youth from us to flee ; One so useful at home and abroad Leave this wicked world and dwell with the Lord. He's free from trials, pains and cares, He's where there's neither thorns nor snares. Our dear mother, waiting for the time to como When they would arrive with the body of her son. Her body was so weak, her troubles so great, It seemed her poor heart would break. But the Lord helped her and caused her to bear Her great trouble in order to meet him there. Our plans can be so quickly changed, For the Lord has them all arranged. We were longing for the time to come When our brothere would arrivo at home ; And homo they did arrive at a midnight hour. But their presence showed the Lord's power. One arose from a sick bed and tenderly cared For tho one which the Lord has not spared. God bless those ladies who for him so tenderly cared, And he a stranger, for him they bitterly wept. God help us to live like and not weep, But strive to go where we'll all meet; Where sorrow, sighing and death never comes, But will all be safely at home. Eugenia Sanoers Thompson. Old People.

It was one of those hot Summer days in June?I now recall the Um? exactly? it was June, 1807. The crowd was gather ed dbout wl ere formerly ntood a tall pino, Just south of Anderson County'a venera ble Court House. That something out of the ordinary was transpiring was eviden ced by the jam and push. Th03e on the outer circle wire scrambling to get inside, whilo those on the inner circle conceded their ground reluctantly. UseltHs to say it, we j >iued the PUSH. The cenlre of attraction wbh a gentle man of ordinary appearance, weighing about one hundred and fifty. To say there wee Dothing in the appearance of the man to attract special attention is pelting it mild, but to listen to his tale of woe would touch a sympathetic chord in the most callous nature.
