Anderson Intelligencer. PUBLISHED 37BBY WEDNESDAY. J. P. CLLNKSCALES, ) Editors and" C. 0. LANGSTON, f Proprietors. TERMS': X-^TE YEAR.fl 50 SES MONTHS. 75 WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 1897. Congress adjourned last Saturday after a session of four months, and the Dlogley tariff bill isf>now a law. An exchange says forty women are rnnning for office in Kentucky.. Don't yon know they are having a lively cam paign._: ^ ^_ Under the Dlngley tariff law cigarettes are being protected by the Government, but who is going to protect the people that smoke them? There is good law and good sense in the decision of the U. S. Supreme Court that a dog is not property unless returned for taxation the same as a horse or a cow. The 20th annual session of the South Carolina Sunday School C?nvention will be held at Camden the 24th, 25th and 26th of next month. The people of Camden will give royal entertainment to the con vention. ?t *' "Don't wait for prosperity," rays the Boston Globe, "go to work and bring it." That's what we are doing down in this neck of the woods. Now, let Massachu setts do Its part by putting a lot of its hoarded money in circulation. President McKinley has appointed A. 0. Latbrop, Esq., of Orangebarg, United States District Attorney for Spath Caroli na, Mr. Lathrop held the same position under the Harrison Administration, and belongs to the Webster faction of the Re publican party. ' im m There ia a lively demand for. spot cot ton for home consomption in South Caro lina towns. Orders have been placed at all the centres in the State and it has been hard to fill them. Daring the last few days two agents for Spartanbarg mills have purchased 2,250 bales in Charleston alone, the stocks in the smaller towns being practically exhausted. The young man that has reached his majority and failed to obtain an educa tion in this enlightened period, has many obstacles to surmount. He can "never compete with the young, man who has obtained an education. The father that Li allowing his sons to grow up.in igno rance should pause and remember that the illiterate are at the mercy of the world._ As the years glide by the old Confeder ates become fewer in number, and pr?s* ently all will have passed to that bourne from whence no traveler e'er returns. Lot us of the younger generation make smooth their paths as far-as in ne lies, for they gave added fame to the Anglo-Saxon name in that terrible conflict of arms which began at Snmter and closed at Ap pomattox, Thoro is nothing whatever in the pres ent outlook to discourage the business men of South Carolina. It is trae that ac tual trade for the moment is not lively, bat it is just as active as any one expects for the summer season. The most inter esting feature is the general belief that this State is going to have steady progress, toward far better times, no matter what may be the financial or industrial ills of ] the country a* a whole. The crop pros pects were never more promising, and the farmers have uss more economy in making it tnan in many years past. They are also less in debt, having paid cash for most of their supplies. At least, such is tho case in this particular section of the State. With a fair price for cotton this fall, money will flow more freely, and there will be plenty and prosperity in the land. a 0 m During the past ten days information has been received of the discovery in Alaska of what are believed to be the rich est gold fields in the world. The finds are so rich that men have grown wealthy in a single day. Great nuggets, worth Boveral hundred dollars, have been pick ed up from the ground as one might gather pebbles along the creek bed. So the story goes in the daily papers. With the news of the great find, men in every condition of life have-not hesitated to throw up good jobs and rnsh to the new Eldorado. Steamers to Alaska find it impossible to '.transport the prospective miners to their destination. The gold fields lie away up in the Klondyke sec tion of the Yukon river, in one of the coldest regions on earth. After reaching tho farthest point by transportation, it is neoassary to traverse scores of miles across a bleak and barren country, mountainous and cold as Spitzbergen, in . order to reach the gold fields. Many hard ships must be endured by those who go oat there, and in a few months some mis erable tales of woe from Alaska may be expected. The Populist party is now almost a thing of the past The recent convention at Nashville developed all the smoldering antagonisms and jealousies which have been partially suppressed for the sake of j common interest heretofore. The con flicting elements in the party came into open clash at Nashville and the weak ties thdt served to keep them together during a campaign burst asunder and the party is to-day in a state of rapid disintegration. Leading Populists do not deny this. Hon. Tom Watson, of Georgia, practically ad mits it in the following language: "In the breaking up of the people's party which Mr. Butler has done eo mach to bring about, many other old-time Republicans will be found doing just what Dunning ld. If we cannot arrest the falling to pieces of our party, thoee who were once Democrats will be Democrats again, and those who were once Republicans will be Republicans again. Fusion is dissolving }>opulism back into its original ele ments." Perhaps no recent occurrence bas illus trates the faultiness of criminal proced ure under our system as the lynching of Dr. W. S. Ryder in Talbot County, Ga., last week, has. More than a year ago, Ryder, in a frenzy of jealous rage, shot and killed Miss Salilo Owen, the woman who refuobd to marry him, in the pres ence of his successful rival. Miss Owen was the belle of the County and exceed ingly popular. Though greatly enraged, her friends decided to let the law take its course. The murderer was tried and sentenced to hang An appeal was taken and a new trial granted. Delay followed delay until the people began to fear that he would finally escape. Last week his caso was called"again, but one of the law yers for the defense being sick, the hear \ log was again postponed. The people waited no longer. While Ryder was be ing conveyed back to prison across the country, a number of men overpowered the guard and strung him up. The vic tim of the mob was a prominent dentist of Talbotton, his family large and influ ential, and but for the continued delayB of the Courts, this outrage upon Georgia law would not have been perpetrated. ? Dr. C. A. Stephens, of Norway Lake, Maine, who believes that death is only a habit, which will eventually be overcome, Isa writer of stories for boys, aud natu rally wants mankind to remain forever young. ; ? The Tennessee typewriter who re jected a poet and married a butcher had a level head. The poet could never have made a stake for her. Analysis of the New Tariff. In the domain of the honso and home tho duties of the new tariff law will ii"gin with kindling wood and end with mo shingles on the roof. The duty on kin dling wood has been placed at throe tenths of a cent on bundles of the size of one fourth of a cubic foot, and it increases three-tenths of a cent for each additional quarter of a cubic foot. The coal which is to be used will have a duty of 67 cents a ton. Under the Wilson law it is 40 cents a ton. Tin pans and cups have an additional duty. The rate on tin plates ha3 been in creased from one-fifth to one-half cent per pound to the manufacturer. The duty on cheap brown or yellow earthenware has been reduced from 20 to 25 per cent. Chinaware has an increased duty of 25 per cent, b6ing raised from 35 to 60 per cent Besides two new classifi cations have been placed upon the dutia ble list. Pressed glass has been in creased from 40 per cent under the Wil son law to 60 per cent. On cut glass the increase has been 25 per cent, from 35 to 60 per cent. Decanters, etc, have an in creased duty of from 40 to 60 per cent. All the table cutlery bears an increased burden, the duty having been changed from 35 per cent under the Wilson law to 45 per cent. The duty on all furniture has been raised from 22 per cent to 35. Marble mantels have an additional duty of 15 cents, the duty being raised from 50 to 65 cents per cubic foot. Ten per cent additional bas been laid on all curtains and table covers of cotton chenille and the same additional rate is laid on curtains made of other materials. Table damask has an added duty of 5 per cent, being raised from 35 to 40 per cent, ' and pillow shams and other bed cover ings are epeciaUy provided for. Blankets are divided into a number of dutiable classes, arid the rate has been in creased from 29 per cent under the Wilson law to an average between 75 and 80 per cent. Jute carpets have been raised on the dutiable lists from 20 to 72 per cent and all grades of woolen carpets have been ad vanced. Under the Wilson law the av erage duty on woolen carpets was 36.09 per cent; under the new law the average rate is 64.09 per cent. On oil cloths for the floor the rate is now 36 per cent, an increase of 10 per cent. On cocoa fibre mats and mattings the duty has been increased 31.12 per cent over the Wilson rate of 20 per cent. All Chinese and Japanese mattings which were free under the Wilson bill now bear a duty of from 3 to 7 cents per square yard, according to vaine. On paper hangings the rate is 5 per cent greater than under the Wilson law, where it was 20 per cent. - Brooms are on the dutiable list at 40 per cent, an increase of 20 per cent, and feather dusters have an increased duty of i 5 per cent, the present rate being 40 per ! cent. Beginning with the breakfast of the family, tho duty on oatmeal and rolled oats has been increased 2 47 per cent. The Wileon law rate was 15 per cent. Sugar will cost at least 1 cent a pound more under the new tariff than under the Wilson law. > Beans are increased from 20 to 47.5 per cent. Cabbages, which were free undor the Wilson law, bear a duty now of 3 cents each. The duty on onions has been increased from 20 to 40 cents per bushel. Oreen pease came in under the Wilson law free; now they pay a duty of 40 cents per bushel. If the pease are dried the dutv will range from 20 to 30 cents a bushel. Pickles .and sauces have an increased duty of 10 per cent, being on the rate list of 40 per cent. Chocolate and cocoa will also cost more now. The duty on the old classifications of chocolate has been raised from II to 15 per cent on each of the grades, and five mew classifications have been added. An increase of nearly 20 per cent has been added to the duty on cocoa, and an addi tional classification has been made. Salt, which was free, now bears a duty of 10 cents on each 100 pounds, and on mustard the duty has been Increased from 25 to 37.45 per cent Woman will have to pay more than her share of the increased prices which are to [ be laid upon everything. She is to. be made the especial victim of higher duties and increased prices. From the feather which tips ?very article of her wear ing apparel an additional tax is levied. NothlDg has escaped the keen eyes of Mr. Dingley and his associates. When a woman sits down to eew now she must pay more for all the require ments of her sewing basket. Her scis sors will cost her 9 63 per cent more than under the Wilson law. Then all scissors imported were charged a duty of 45 per cent. The new law makes three classes and the minimum duty charged is 54 63 per cent. All her needles, knitting or sewing machine, wiU cost her more. For the past three years the duty on these articles was 25 per cent. Now it is 35. The pins she uses will cost more. All kinds of pins have been stuck into a para graph and a couple of new clauses made. Under the Wilson law tho duty was 25 per cent, but this duty has been raised to 35 per cent under the new law. All her spool thread will cost her more, for the duty on all cotton spool thread has been raised i cent a dozen, while on the , linen thread it has been raised 10 per cent. This seems small, but the tariff makers expect that a good, large revenue will come from this, and the prices of home thread will be correspondingly in creased, Never forget that retail prices increase in a geometrical ratio over wholesale prices. Every sewing woman In the country is hit. Neither has the new tariff bill lost sight of the fondness of woman for candy. While the makers of the tariff were giv ing the Sugar Trust all they could, they increased the duty on confectionery from 35 per cent to 50 per cent. Keeping their eyes open for the very smallest thing that might bring in .reve nue, the tariff makers found that many crinoline, corset and hat wires were used. That was enough, and up went the duty on these articles 5 per cent. Now all the American manufacturers of these articles can raise the price just 5 per cent, and the middleman and re tailer will add any increase competition will permit. At the same time, the duty on corsets was increased 10 per cent. The tariff-makers thought that the women cf the country would not object to an addi tional 25 or 50 per cent on the cost of a I pair of corsets. On cotton cloth, one of the most widely used articles in woman's realm, the now tariff bill has been most craftily drawn. On a large proportion of the various grades the rates are the same as under the Wilson law, but many changes have been made in classification, and these make the actual difference very wide. As many as 27 new classes have been added to this division of the cotton schedule. Thesa changes have been made on the basis of the fineness and weight of the goods in some cases, and in others the value has been made the dividing line. Under the Wilson bill these classes of cot ton goods came in under the general duties laid, but now the duties range specifically from 3i cents a square yard to 8 cents. The average per cent of duty is 50 on all these new classes. In each case the manufacturer has an excuse for raising prices, and the cotton goods of the future used by the housewife will cost at least 25 per cent more than in the past three years. All cotton plushes, velvets, velveteens, etc., will now cost the woman 34 per cent more than under the Wilson law. The rate has been raised from 40 per cent to 67 per cent. The classifications nave not been changed, but the duties hava been increased in each case. All woolen plushes have been increased from 40 per cent to the rates that run from 88 to 147 per cent. Silk plushes, velvets and chenilles fare equally as badly. In every classification the rates have been increased. The increases range from 15 to 30 per cent. So the shopper can prepare to take that much more money with her when she starts out to prooureher winter outfit. Hosiery is going to cost a nice little sum hereafter. All cotton hosiery will have an additional 20 per cent and more tacked to the price. All silk hosiery will cost an additional 10 per cent, for tho new law places the duty at 60 per cent instead of 50 per cent as under the Wilson law. Cotton underwear does not escape. Under the Wilson law only shirts and drawers were on the dutiable list and these at the general rate of 50 per cent. Now to Bhirts and drawers are added vests, union suits, combination suits, tights, sweaters, corset O07ers and all underwear of every description and tho duty is placed at 65 per cent. Nothing in the shape of cotton underwear can escaDe that 15 per cent raise. Flannels Tor underwear fare still worse. All the rates on the half dozen grades have been increased and the average taken shows that the increase has been 52 per cent. The average duty on flannel for underwear under the Wilson bill was 48 per cent; under the new law it is 100 pei cent. Bilk underwear will also cost 10 per cent more, but as on other articles the rate on the luxuries is not nearly so high as on the necessities. Boot, shoe and corset lacings of cotton are to coat 5 per cent more than a month ago. The rate has been increased from 45 to 50 per cent. A determined raid has been made upon lace edgings, embroideries, neckrufilings, ruchinge, eto. Under the Wilson law the M duty was f>0 per cent. The new law makes a largo numlif"!' new classifica tians, with a i?r?n-pouding number of rates. But ?'?- .< : ihat pome duty might be as low ...?, in the Wilson bill, it is especially provided that no kind of laces, edgings or trimmings can bo admitted at a lo3s rate than GO per cent. A distinction is made between cotton and linen articles, but the increased duty is tne same?10 por cent. The increase on silk, laces and embroideries is also 10 per cont. Linen and nilk handkerchiefs fare no hotter than embroideries. The duty in each case has been increased 10 per'cent. Alter tho full effoot of tbo new tariff ig felt, it will bo a long whilo before the careful shopper can boast to her husband of the bargain she found at the woolen dress goods counter, for the price of all woolen dress goods is going to be greatly increased. The duties on these woolens average 10 cents a yard. The makers of the new tariff bill expect to receive ?0, 000,000 additional revenue from these now I rates on woolen dress goods. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, estimates that the people wil! have to pay $150,000, 000 ? year more for their cotton and woolen goods under the new law than under the old. This enormous tax is imposed that the Treasury may have an ostensible benefit of ?t',000,000 a year. For silk the shopper will have to pay a much greater price. The duties on silks range from 50 cents per pound to ?5. In some cases, as with Japanese Bilk, the duty is $7. No one has been able yet to estimate what the increase in the price of eilk dress goods will be. Then the crino line cloth for lining will cost more than 4 cents a yard more, for the duty has been increased that much more. Woolen or worsted shawls, will come high now. Under the Wilson law the average duty on ehawls was 40 per cent. Under the new law the average will range from 9G.6G per cent to 112.04 per oent Cloaks, - dolmans, jackets, ulsters and other outside garments will be under a duty of 78 per cent. The duty under the Wilson act is 50 per cent. Braids, trimmings and insertions of wool will stand a duty of 85 per cent. Under the Wilson law the duty was 50 per cent. Women's gloves have had 75 cent a dozen added to the duties that rule under the Wilson law. On boots and shoes an additional duty of 5 par cent has been laid. As nearly all the boots and shoes worn in this country are made by American manufacturers this increase wiU be added to the first price. The 25 per cent duty on bides will also have its effect.?St. Louis Republic. He Wants the Proof. The Charleston metropolitan police msS> ter, whioh has been resting easy for quito a while, will doubtless be re-opened in tho next few days and all the facts in connection with the failure of Governor Ellerbe to remove the"Bystem thoroughly aired on the stump. A few days ago Mr. Mayfield made the statement on the stump that Governor Ellerbe had been guilty of double dealing in the matter and if he dared to ask it he could produce the absolute proof of it. The Governor was asked abont it the fol lowing day, but he was disposed to ig nore the matter altogether. In the mean time he talked the matter over with som e of his friends and yesterday decided t > give the press a statement. This he die-, and tho statement roads as follows : "I would like to have the proof of any double dealing on my part in reference to the metropolitan police, or any other publio matter. I have written no private letters on the subject and any one having! a letter from me bearing upon it is at liberty to publish it and is requested to do so. I told a number of people I would not remove the metropolitan police from Charleston unless the mayor and all tho aldermen pledged themselves to enforce the dispensary law. "I received several letters from friends saying that I had told people inquiring if the metropolitan police would be re moved that I would not remove it with out a unanimous pledge from the mayor and council of Charleston to enforce the law in that city and asking if I had been I correctly quoted. I replied in each case I that my position had been correctly staled and that I would not remove the metropolitan police unless the mayor and every alderman signed the pledge I required. After Mayor Smyth's confer ence with me in Columbia I felt certain that the unanimous signature I required would be iriven. I heard thatComptroller General Norton, a member, of the State board of police commissioners, was sick and was gulag home, so, after Mayor Smyth left, I went to Mr. Norton's and asked for archority from him to sign his name to an order removing the metropol itan police provided the mayor and alder men all signed the pledge which Mayor Smyth carried back to Charleston with him. "1 have never had a conversation on the subject with anybody but what he is at perfect liberty to repeat" It-is expected that Mr. Mayfield will produce the proof at to-day's campaign meeting and no doubt an exhaustivo air ing of the metropolitan police business. The general public will watch the devel opments in the matter with very great interest?Columbia State. Capital News and Gossip. Washington, July 21.?President Mc Kinley was the recipient to-day of an unique compliment in the shape of a huga Georgia watermelon. Several members of the delegation in Congress, accompanied by a number of ladies and W. N. Mitch ell, of Atlanta, the southern freight agent of the Baltimore and Ohio, made the pre sentation in the Blue Room of the White House. The melon was about two and a half feet long and measured six feet in circumference. It was packed in a gold en hamper, wrapped in the American flag and entwined with white silk ribbon, on one end of which was the flag of the United States and on the other the arms ofthe8tateof Georgia. It weighed sev enty-eight pounds. It was secured by the Southern office of the Baltimore and Ohio, which offered a prize for the largest melon grown iu the South this year. The States of South Carolina, Georgia, Flori da and Alabama competed for the prize. Representativo Livingston made the pre sentation speech. In doing so he refe-..ed to th6 adage about the Greeks bearing gifts, and assured the President, when opened, no office-seeking enemy would emerge. The President made a happy response, saying among other things that he was especially gratified for the assur ances that it contained no office-seekers. Lathrop Wins Over Melton. Washington, July 25.?The President appointed Lathrop to-day in self-defense and upon the assurance that no objection would be made to his immediate confir mation. Outside pressure for other can didates precipitated the action to-day. It was not the President's intention to make the appointment until after the adjourn ment of congroNd, but the Melton demon stration decided the matter. It is a Web ster triumph and so it will probably be to the end of the South Carolina appoint ments. Both Melton and von Kolnitz say they will not accept second place under Lathrop, but they may reconsider. No promises have been made, Webster says to-night, in the appointment of the two assistant attorneys. Judge Evans of Marion, it is understood, is slated for one as the assis tants. Webster is "cock of the walk" and Lathrop's appointment may be ac cepted as an expression of the President's policy in making South Carolina appoint ments. Col. R. M. Wallace arrived to-day and will look over the ground before announ cing his candidacy for the marshalship. Speaking of the Senatorial campaign in the State, he says : "If the election were to take place now McLaurin would win against the field with hands down." Recently ho has been in the upper section of the State and McLaurin is "away ahead," he says, about Yorkville and Chester.?Special to Columbia Slate. Hemsen is all Right. The recent prevalent scourge of fever among the students at Clemson College is deplored by all, and especially by the friends of the institution. Clemson's troubles are the people's troubles. Her would-be and self-made enemies, how ever, leave no stone unturned and spare no pains in the effort to make it appear that the situation is always alarming at Clemson. Sickness and death are two of the natu ral consequences of life itself. That a great throng of students, representing every section of the State, should in the course of life become stricken with dis ease is as natural as an epidemic of measles, scurvy or smallpox in camp during war time. The.trouble is abating, we are happy to note, and Clemson is still in the ring. Whatever tho cause of the epidemic we regrotto note that some of the leading newspapers, and physicians, too, have hastened to lay the whole unfortunate matter upon the shoulders of the faculty and the Btudents, all of whom we believo are innocent. Nature, the great healer, is often back of muoh sorrow. Clemson is all right? Clinton Gazette. Major General Bonhani.

Mr. Allen Banister, from Bradley, was visiting here last week. Big Bill Banister, from Pay Up, Ga., is here at this writing. Misses LUy and Minnie Huffman, from Modoc, arrived here last Saturday and will remain soveral days. An indignation meeting will be held here this week to pass resolutions with reference to tho very, uncomplimentary remarks that Fleet Banister made about the wqrk that was being done on the church ground the other day when he was down here. Men who want to sell lemonade should be more considerate. A gentleman called on one of our ladies last week and addressed her as follows: 'Miss-, I've got a good way to go to church to-night; will you go with me ?

Edi tors, and we will do more for you than you know how to aek or feel worthy to , receive. ^ The Lowndesville scribe ib disgusting ly persistent in denouncing and ignoring ' this place. One would suppose that we were trying to establish a place on one end of the little wide place through that which he is pleased to call a young city, the history of which dates back as far as the twenties. We have not heard from him since he wrote or copied that article to say that wo were a cowardly liar and beneath his notice, etc., but during his silence he has been < jgaged preparing an article under the heading of "Mo&ley Iteme." Having finished it he sent it to a very young man of this place asking him to sign it and send it up for publica tion. It was signed and sent np bnt not 1 printed. Having failed in this he has re newed his attack from Lowndesville, but ; pver a new nom de plume. He is a per \ sistent chap, and as cheeky as a govern ment mule, but he can't' slide on "my cel lar door. We wonld call the attention of the readers to the several connections, applications and definitions of the compo sition ot the little item with reference to ns and this place that they may see what a mesa he has gotten himself into. Vul , garly speaking, he has let himself lower than ? doodle and if he wants to know how much he will be missed after his depart ure for the warmer climate, let him place his finger in a bowl of water, remove it, then look for the hole. We can bear the insults and injuries of those whom we con sider our noble enemies, but to have the "ase"and disgrace of Lowndesville contin ually kicking at us is?well, our patience has a limit. It is said that old doga can not be learned new tricks, but we claim they can be cured ot somo of their old ones, therefore, wo suggest that his Pa lead him round tho corner of the house, take him across his knee and slap bis ears.

The Methodist Sunday School gave a picnic last Friday at Mitchell Spring, to which all the other Sunday Schools were cordially invited. In the bonds of eternal friendship were they all united.

Springs Tuesday last?a sure enough pic nie. More than forty repr? sentative Brushy Creekers?so pleasant, clever and entertaining?were in attend ance, and the old place, though it always was dear to ye reporter, seemed dearer and more beautiful than ever. The hills und fields, clad in robes of deepest eme rald, the grove resounding with the thanksgiving hymns of feathered choris ters, the willows waving their green handkerohiofs in welcome along the prat tling brook ; all those happy young peo ple crowned with green wreaths and opening blossoms and attended by silver winged zephyrs, what else' could it have been but an extremely delightful affair ? "After supper," which was served in sumptuous style, conversation and games wore enjoyed. Cupid, as usual on such joyous occasions, was on hand with his little fixin's. But the pic nie is o'er. "Blue on the distant mountains, love, Brown on the neighboring hills, Emerald sheen In valleys between, Crystal the brooks and rills, Sing merrily, 0, when summer weather Brings you and me, sweetheart.together." And the lawn party at Mr. Jim Payne's, t p in Brushy Creek Saturday night. A acore or more of Piedmont people join ?b in pronouncing that an enjoyable affair. We were rather late, but got there long before the fun was over. The even ing was very pleasantly spent in conver sation, games and "hiding fruit," of which there was an abundance. The par ticipants left at a late hour, thoroughly convinced that it took Paynes to get up a successful lawn party. "Gray on the distant mountains, dear, Shadows athwart the hills, Rod, green and yellow, In blending mellow, Nature's old canvas fills ; Sing eadly, sing not at all, sweetheart, When summer is over and we must part."

On last Wednesday as the lovely even ing was nearing on to twilight, and the last brillaint hues of the setting sun were filling all space, with a wave of the little hand and a smile which overspread the precious features, the spirit of Nora Es telle Janes, the youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. N. R. Janes of this city, was borno on aagel wings into the visible presence of Him whose name the baby lips loved to lisp. She was four years and nine months old, and had been sick just one week with diptheria. The fond parents had indulged in such bright vis ions and fond hopes for the future of their little. Would that we could soothe their deep grief, and comfort the sad hearts of the two little sisters.

The latest social eveut was the long-to De-remembered pic nio Saturday. It was indeed a grand success, highly enjoyed by all present, especially the musio furnished hy the Princeton Brass Band, which added much to the nccasioD. The invited speak er. Mr. J. if. Grant, of Anderson, was present and at bis best. He took for his snbject hypocrisy, and for an honr he held the largo audienci) spell bound with bis fine oratorial display. Mr. Grant has won a host o ' friends, and is quite a favor ite by all who have met him and heard his speech. Alter the speech came the great and fitting climax of the day?din ner, banquet, feast, delicious and invig orating. After the feast the party scatter ed. Some betook themselves to quite cool bowem, while others strolled up and down the river, and all during the afternoon could be heard thp strains of sweet music by the band as it floated out on the calm evening air. Thus the day passed too quickly. It was a red letter day for Zar line Inland. There was communion and joy and music and merriment and the 'fatted calf," "gold ring" and the best garment and the flying banner and the love of God and tbe "communion of saints' and "loves young dream" and white muslin and blue ribbon and pink roses and lavender pants and lilac neck wear and youth and beauty and love and joy for all. Bslton was well represented at the pic nie. Mr. Henry McFall fell a few weeks ago from High Shoals to Zarline Cliffs, but we are glad to know that he is not seri ously hurt. Dr. K. L.

It is thought by some medical experts to be caused by poverty of the blood, which condition lowers the tone of the nerves and starves them.

It was one of those hot Summer days in June?I now recall the time exactly? it was June, 1897. The crowd was gather ed about where formerly stood a tall pine, Just south of Anderson County's venera ble Court House. That something out of ] the ordinary was transpiring was eviden ced by the jam and push. Those on the outer circle were.scrambling to get inside, while those on the inner circle conceded their ground reluctantly. Useless to say it, we joined the PUSH. The centre of attraction was a gentle man of ordinary appearance, weighing about one hundred and fifty. To say there was nothing in the appearance of Ibe man to attract special attention is putting it mild, but to listen to his tale of woe would touch a sympathetic chord in the most callous nature. This is the strain of his story: Feller-Sitiaens, Gentlemen, Mr. Preze dint and Ladees : I stan before a ter da not ter tare down what mi frena ov de op persition hev established by their hindus try and skill.
