V ?MANUFAOTURED ONLY EY ALABASTINE CO.. GRAND RAPIDS, MICH.f ALL COLORS KEPT IN STOCK BY Mr. Sullivan Replies to thc Editor of Thc Advocate. MR. EDITOR: Kindly graut us space in the columns ol' THE INTELLIGENCER to take a bird's eye view, so to speak, of a "hot t?male." which Editor Ens sell, of the Peoples Advocate, tossed at us in tile last issue of Iiis paper. Editor Russell recently wrote an edi? torial in which he declared that the Conservatives were "laying the foun? dation for the absolute overthrow of the reform movement and for tho de? feat of Tillman two years hence." He based his solemn and somewhat startling statement on the significant result o? the recent primary. Wc thought he was taking a rather exag ferated view of the situation and had ?corne morbid and morose from the effects of too much brooding over the election returns for Judge of Probate. We have always had deep sympathy for anyone in distress, and very natu? rally we endeavored to soothe his quiv? ering nerves and lead him out ot the wilderness of error to where there was more light and less folly. But instead of appreciating our kindly ofiiees, Edi? tor Bussell says naughty, cruel things about us and intimates that our head is slightly out of gear. We confess, when we read his comments on our "bun? combe," as he was pleased to call it, we were filled with great anguish and sor? rowfully came to the conclusion that the editor of the Advocate is a very bad old man. As wre pensively perused his bitter, biting references to our "ex? treme adolescence," we were almost overcome with shame and mortifica? tion, and like the sensitive maiden of shy eighteen, we felt as if a "good cry" would be an immense relief; we com? promised the matter, however, by go? ing out behind the house and saying "dog gone it" four times; it was awful? ly profane, of course, but we trust that the higher authorities will overlook it. But, not content with that, Editor Rus? sell insists that we are the victim of some mysterious disease which, though rarely fatal, is never cured until a young man has the "stuffing knocked out or him." Now, isn't that just too horrible? To be talked to in that style is enough to give a Numidian Hon that timid feeling. (Wc pause to leak a few tears before proceeding further.) But, after thus summing up, m charac? teristic vein, our numerous and varied virtues, Editor Russell warmly rebukes us for indulging in "invidious personal references." How beautifully, by pre? cept and example, docs he preach and practice his doctrines! We have steadfast!}' maintained that in the recent election the question of party cut little, if any figure, not only for the reason that the people have agreed to let bygones be bygones, but because Conservatives and Reformers alike are disgusted with the dispensary and want to rid the State of it. This was manifested in no uncertain style in the race between Ell erbe and Feather? stone, the latter having carried a num? ber -of reform strongholds. And how does Editor Russell, in his calm, unruf? fled style, explain it? Read and grow wise! "About five hundred of Feath? erstone^ vote (referring to Anderson Count}-) was given by Reformers who were fooled by the false issue of prohi? bition, many of whom have their eyes open since they have seen the vote." What unmitigated tommyrot! When Ellcrbe's minions were scattered over the State, pleading with the people to support the dispensary, and re-elect the the present incumbent, Featherstone, vrithout the assistance of a powerful machine, without even a systematic or? ganization of wrorkers, plainly present? ed his case to the citizens of South Car? olina, and relied on the righteousness of his cause for support. He was not elected, but under the circumstances he received a magnificent vote. And it is a reflection on the intelligence aud common sense of every Reformer, to say they were "fooled" into voting for Featherstone, when, as a matter of fact, every inducement was held out to them and all the infiuence available was brought to bear on them, in order to "lool" them into voting for Ellerbe. We also invite your attention, Editor Russell, to Greenville and Spartanburg Counties, where Tillman i tes of the warmest temperature are said to abide; and yet we see both of these Counties rolling up handsome majorities for Featherstone. Then glance, if you please, at Uconee, Edgerield, Lancaster and Horry-all Reform strongholds, and all giving Featherstone a majority over Ellerbe-were the Reformers "fooled" in those Counties, also? If such be the case, what fools these Re? formers must be! As for Mr. Larimer being knifed by Conservatives, we think Editor Russell is prattling vainly through his chapeau when he undertakes to convince sensi? ble people that such a scheme was ever inaugurated. When we remember that Latimer's majority over both of his opponents was 9,000, we are unable to assimilate the cock and bull stories the editor of the Advocate would have us believe. Editor Russell insists, however, that though Mr. Larimer re? ceived 2,529 in this County, he simply polled the Reform vote and the Con? servatives had no part nor lot in the matter. Well, granting for the sake of argument that that is so, is it not sufficient proof that the Reformers are sticking to their men through thick and thin and are ignoring the Conser? vative candidates! Such being the case, can they consistently grumble when tile Conservatives rally around their representatives and stand aloof from the candidates of tho other fac? tion ; Editor Russell says he has "no desire to relight factional lires." Such utter? ances from him makes us so sick that, like the old negro, we feel like "fling? ing up." He has done more to stir up strife, excite prejudice; and array class against class, than any other man in Anderson County. He delights in casting slurs at the Conservatives and saying little mean, cutting things to irritate and aggravate them. He de? tests peace and li?tes harmony, be? cause he knows that his political for? tunes depend on keeping alive factional spirit and party strife. As a result of his policy, he has disgusted both Re? formers and Conservatives and when he comes before the people begging for office they never fail, to use his own expression, "to knock the stuffing out of him" with a vengeance. And yet Editor Russell's confidence in the loyalty of Reformers is so sweet, so truthful, that we are almost touched to tears when wo study tue result of the recent primary in Anderson Coun? ty. Thc Reform vote of this County has been estimated, we believe, at something like 2,500 votes, and yet how is it that Editor Russell, a deeply impregnated, thoroughly saturated, Sive me Tillman or give me eath Reformer, should be made the rueful recipient of 54(1 votes? Gee whiz! What a "sockdolegcr," ol?, my countrymen ! Surely, Editor Russell, the Reformers must have been I pretty badly "fooled'* in this 'instance, also. Any way you take ir, it is hot stuff and tells its own sad tale. in conclusion we have just this td say : Wc wore very much surprised at thc violent manner in which the editor of the Advocate raged and pawed up the earth in the last issue, of his paper. Such an exhibition of vicious temper, such a phosphorescent display of sul? phuric linguistics, have rarely been excelled and precious few times equal? ed. But if that's his game, we are very well satisfied with our hand and we most respectfully decline to be overawed by bluff and bluster, which signifieth nothing. J. A. SULLIVAN. BOONE'S BLACK DIAMOND. i he Coming Steel Trunk Line, Projec? ted in the ?nteres? of a Low Grade Railway Sysbm, by Colonel Albert E. Boone, of Zanesviiie, Ohio. MR. EDITOR: The time is upon us when every one, old or young, who claims to have an interest in Anderson, should stand shoulder to shoulder in the interest of the Black Diamond Railroad. As has been stated before, let me repeat, millionaires will lend money to honest people with which to build railroads. All they demand is security for their money and interest. They, themselves, plan not, neither do they build railroads. It takes the great strugling masses to build great industries. It was not the idle, rich, voluptuous Senators, who conceived the possibility of bringing Gaul under the Roman })ower. It was Caesar, the maligned eader, backed by thc solid Roman phalanxes, who made roads through inaccessible mountains, bridged turbu? lent streams, and brought Gaul under subjection to Rome. It takes work-untiring work-to lay out and construct a great railroad. Formerly short lines were built, and afterwards, the scheming manipulator conceived the idea of combination, whereby the few have been made enormously rich at the expense of those who had constructed roads. Col. Booue proposes to reverse the order of rail? road combinations. That very fact makes ins scheme impractical. Yes, impractical! It will be au impossi? bility for manipulators to buy up mter mediate.lines under Col. Boone's plan, in the interest of present combination, whereby completion will bc strangled, and, therefore, it is utterly impractica? ble and unheard of, Col. Boone has not projected his system in the interest Of existing railroad combines but in the interest of the people in the sec? tions through which the road will nm. The Dover (Ky.) News, Sept. 15,1898, outlines the objects of this system as follows: ' "All lines laid out with a special ob? ject in view, viz.: To develop the mines ? of raw materials in the country tra- ; versed and to find a market for them, ' as well as to tap the grand bearing grain fields of the Northwest,, especial? ly those of the valley of the Red river ? of the North, which alone ship upwards of seventy million bushels of wheat i annually. "The lines are laid out especially to ; develop the great coal basins of South- ; western Pennsylvania, Northwest sec- ? rion bf West Virginia, Southeastern : Indiana, Eastern Kentucky and East Tennessee. The North Carolina and Georgia lines will be great mineral producers for such as marble, granite, , copper, sulphur, talc, iron ores of all kinds, corundum, kaolin and manga- ? nese, in addition to passing thomgh oceans of hardwood timber. j "The line through South Carolina will pass through the heart of the Cotton , Belt and will tap the great Phosphate ? (Rone) Deposit at Port Royal, S. C. "The Black Diamond System of Rail? ways is destined to be the great coal ; system of the continent. It will touch ; the Atlantic Seaboard at three points, viz.: Port Royal, S. C.; Charleston, S. ; C., and Savannah, Ga. It will not stop construction until it has its own , lines into Pittsburg, Wheeling, Colum- 1 bus, Indianapolis, Peoria, Louisville, ( Cincinnati, Chicago and Fargo-Moor head. "It will cross-cut every Trunk Line east and west of the Mississippi River, any one of which will be glad to an interchange of riaffic. "The Black Diamond Lines will also l connect Lake Erie at Fairport Harbor, , Ohio, and Lake Calumet, an ann of i Lake Michigan, at Hammond, Ind.; 1 with the sea at Port Royal, S. C., with J branch lines into the seaports of Charleston, S. C., and Savannah, Ga. i "It will be built upon a maximum i grade, not in excess of sixty-six feet to 1 the mile, thereby enabling it to trans- i port its traffic at rates no other rail- ' wsy corporation could afi'ord to make, should an attempt be made to destroy the Black Diamond in its infancy by reducing rates to actual cost of doing ( the work. This is the plan the older corporations always adopt to cripple or } placo at their mercy a new railway enterprise." Here we have it in a nutshell so to < speak. One man said: "Well, maybe af ter all when Boone gets his plans all laid, he will sell out." People who make such remarks are only thinking of what ' they would like to do if they had the t opportunity. 1 In the first place, I believe Col. Boone ] expects to make some money. If he ( did not, then he is not like the rest ol' the American people, for all are after the Almighty dollar. Yet there are t some who will not betray a trust, for , money. If the people iii Ohio, Ken- , tucky, Indiana and Tennessee are standing behind Col. Boone, as we are 1 led to believe by their action, there is ' not. a line with which Col. Boone'* sys- ( tem will come into competition, would i be able to put up enough money to buy off Col. Boone and his associates. In the second place, then; is some- } thing better than money in store for ' Col. Boone upon the completion of this ( system. Be it to the credit of the t great mass of the American people, j there is that noble feeling and sense of honor that inspires every one who con? ceives a great undertaking to press forward to the mark. Not only does money await him at goal, but a crown < of everlasting honor. Col. Boone's ( money could be easily dissipated and < scattered to thc four winds, but the i honor of success would be a fortune no ' winds of adversity could destroy. 1 Let no ono suppose for a moment that \ Col. Boone would undertake to barter i away his opportunity for a few dol?ais. When Horace Walpole uttered the \ damnable sentiment that "everyman , had his own price," he was but illus strating one of Josh Billings" aphorism : "That Hie man who suspected every man as being a rascal, bad looked very dec]) into his own heart." The amount ol: monev spent hy the people west of Knoxville, (more than ?100,000) shows that they are. not en? gaged in this work for fun, nor for their health. The English expert is now in Cincin? nati, and in due course of time will reach Anderson. And if his report be favorable, which ive all expect, Col. Boone's road will not be merely a dream hut a living, throbbing reality. With this road Anderson will then he in a position to push out in another direction. Spartanburg has put up $25,000 to extend the road from Gaffney to Spartanburg. And Anderson, Pel zer and Piedmont, hy co-operating, could bring that line to Anderson It behooves us to he up and doing unless we desire to be left. J. L. T. From Flat Rock. Last Sunday was communion day at the Presbyterian Church at this place. The pastor, Rev. H. C. Fennel, preach? ed a line sermon to a large congrega? tion. The protracted meeting, which was to have, been at this time, was postponed until the 3rd Sabbath in Oct., providence permitting. Dr. R. Thompson will represent this Church at the Presbytery of South Carolina, which meets at Upper Long Cane Church, near Abbeville, the 20th inst. The patrons of this school will meet at this place on Saturday afternoon, 24th inst., for the purpose of selecting a teacher. Every patron should attend and do all they can to get a good teacher, as we need one badly, and cannot afford to be without one. There are many children who are almost grown and should go to school, who cannot go to college and have now lost a year. Within the last year we have had four different teachers at this place, and, of course, much time was lost in changing teachers. We had a school made up by a majority of the best patrons of the school early last fall for a splendid male teacher, and intended to pay him over and above the public fund, but the trustees gave the school to a lady who only taught a short time. Let us have no more "public schools" unless wo. can dono better. Then give us a "public school" and not until then. There will bd a singing at the Bap? tist Church at this place next Saturday night, 34th inst. Everybody is invited to attend. Mr. S. A. Whitaker, of your city, is erecting a neat cottage and will move into this community shortly. Mr. Walter Dean's new house is near? ing completion. Others will build at an early date. SPORT. Piercctown Locals. The farmers are busy gathering the "fleecy staple." Miss Fanny Rogers, of Anderson, is visiting in the community. We hope her stay among us will "be pleasant, she is a beautiful and accomplished young lady and has already made many friends. We noticed Sunday the beaming faces of Messrs. Griffin, of Belton, and Sydney Hall, of Ebenezer. The ordinance of baptism was ad? ministered at Beaverdam last Sunday to thirteen young people. We could not but think of the "Sermon on the Mount," where the blessed Saviour said "suffer little children to come unto me." We sincerely hope these dear young people Avili so live that when the boatman will come to carrv them over the river of death, they will be baptis? ed in eternal glory. Messrs. John Durham and Comer Clardy conducted the singing at Bea? verdam last Sunday afternoon. Tltey ure very line singers and every one was well pleased with the sweet music they tlispensed. It is not often that we have snell a treat to enjoy. Our merchants have plenty of time now to whittle up goods boxes. Every kid large enough to shoulder a hamper is in the cotton fields. Our clever friend, George Martin, is now out with the history of our Wai' with Spain. We wish him much sue- j cess. Call when you please, George, bhe latch string hangs ont and the bull .

The patient I refer to has used the water freely at home for scarcely a month now, with more beneficial results than from months spent at the different noted lithia springs in different parts of the Uni? ted States, besides long continued use of the same waters at borne. Other of my pa? tients nod friends are now wing tho same with best results. I cordially recommend it to all suffering from similar diseases. Very respectfully yours, THOMAS 8. POWELL, M. D., Pres. Southern Medical College, Atlanta, Ga. In my experience as a physician nothing has given me greater satisfaction or yielded more certain results than your Lithia Water. I am using it myself and pre? scribing it in my practice, and do unqualifiedly recommend it for dyspepsia and all kidney troubles* whose Lithia is indicated.
