Intelligencer. Published every Wednesday. J. F. CLINKSCALES, ? EDITORS AND C. C. LANGSTON, S PROTRIETORS. TERMS! ONE YEAR, - - - - Si 50 SIX MONTHS, - - - 75 WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29. 1S99. The principal plank in the farmers' platform this year should he com, hog and cotton. _ More flour mills, more pig pens and larger corn cribs will denote a health ier tone of prosperity to the South. Hon. James Wilson, of Iowa, a mem ber of President McKinley's Cabinet, is to be in Due West on the 28th of April, to act as one of the judges in the oratorical contest to be held at that place at the time mentioned by the representatives of the colleges of the State._ President McKinley, Speaker Reed, Mark Hanna and other promipent lead ers of the Republican party have been recreating at Thomasville and Jekyl Island, Ga., for the past ten days, and it is presumed that harmony now ex ists among them. It is said that Mc Kinley and Reed will be the nominees of the Republicans in 1900. The Tolberts have returned to their homes in Greenwood and Abbeville Counties. Now if they will only real ize that this is a white man's country, and try to live peaceably with their neighbors, they will be permitted to stay there without tear or harm. The experience they have had in the past should teach them a wholesome lesson. ? The battleship Oregon, which recent ly arrived in Manila Bay, "fit for any duty,75 has within the last year sailed nearly 40,000 miles and taken a con spicuous part in a great and successful naval battle, without having to lay up for a single day for repairs, lt has made a world record, and it is a grand warship of which the great nation whose flag it bears is justly proud. The question is frequently asked ii Col. Neal can be punished for the way he has conducted the affairs of the Penitentiary. He is certainly guilty of embezzlement, which is a crime in South Carolina, but we doubt exceed ingly if he ever will be prosecuted. His bondsmen will probably pay up his shortage and there the matter will end. If he was some poor white man or negro, and had violated the dispen sary law, he would have been arrested and lodged in jail at once. The continued rainy weather has made many new good road advocates. Many think they never saw the roads sobad as they have been this winter, but this is a mistake, it occurs every winter, or every time there is a con tinued wet spell. It will not belong now until the sunshine will be with us and the mud will disappear, and we are curious to know how many now ardent advocates of good roads will dismiss the question from his mind and think no more of it until another winter with its rain and slush reminds him of it. We are too much like thc fellow who couldn't cover his house because it was raining, and wouldn't cover it when it was not raining because it did not need covering then. ' The report now comes from Paris that the Frenchmen over there have gone to drinking petroleum, or coal oil, instead of wine or whiskey. Well, if the red licker over there is as abom inably rotten as much of the stuft' sold in this country we can't much blame the frog eaters for drinking coal oil. The only serious consequence we eau see that is liable to result from this in novation is, that the Standard Oil Company may raise the price if they notice an increase in the sale, on ac count of its being used as a beverage. I It is said that the appetite of those who drink the petroleum grow for the stuff worse than the thirst for ?alcohol increases._ Director Merriam is credited by the Washington Star with saying that his chief aim in taking the census of 1?KK) will be to secure the best men available for the work of enumeration and anal ysis, that he will observe the spirit of the merit system in his appointments, that he will subordinate ali this to the considerations effecting thc general questions of population, vital statistics and the mechanical and agricultural schedules. If Mr. Merriam sticks to his promise, he will succeed in giving thc country a complete and reliable array .of figures. If he is merely talking buncombe and intends to serve thc ends of the place hunters ot* his parly, he will succeed in producing as great an abortion as tin* last census. In order to make the South-? land of industrial wealth and power it is only necessary for us to know that thc op portunity to accomplish great things is in our own hands. Let us take advan tage of and utilize this knowledge by our own exertions. If all the cotton produced in thc South were converted into textiles by Southern mills, this section would at one long stride be far in advance of others in the march of material progress. The South has the cotton in her fields, and it can be passed into her mill doors without putting il on a train or boat; she has water power, wood and coal, brick, clay, building stone of all sorts, und her land is still so cheap that it is easy to acquire al! that is needed of il for factories: it is easier for opera ti ves to live in tho Soul b than it is in the North? rents uro cheri li er, because land is cheaper: there is less need for fuel to keep (In- houses warm, and of thick clothing io keep ?lie body warm: food of all kinds is offered in greater variety thait in tIm North, and at lower prices. Thc mills already in operation in the South arc forerunners of avast industry that will one day ho developed in the cotton belt, nud that will he followed by a transfer cf the sugar industry to thc region where the sugar-cane is grown. Economy and sense dictate the removal of factories to the places that furnish the crude product. Lowndesville Items. ? Your scribe regrets that he has but a few items of interest to report this week. Miss Ida Hawthorne, a beautiful and attractive young: lady of Lathner, is visiting Miss Lily Huckabee. Mr. J. IL T. Major, the efficient prin cipal of our High School, went to Co lumbia Tuesday, returning Sunday. In his absence. Miss Brock occupied the principal's chair, and Miss Lily Shu mate, a former teacher in the school, took charge of Miss Brock's depart ment. Many of our citizens have determined to go to tlie Confederate Veterans' Ke nnion in Charleston, which, takes place in May. It will be highly interesting, especially to those (and their name is legion) who have some near relative among the old Vets. Subscriptions for the oil-mill arc coming in daily, and nearly all of the $12,000 wanted has been subscribed. This is something in which every citi zen of Lowndesville and vicinity should take a personal interest, as nothing could he of more value to them at pres ent. It is the object of the managers to get as many ot* them to invest in it as possible, so that they will be more interested in it, without calling in out side capital. McD. H. Mt, Bethel Dots. On account of the bad, disagreeable weather, very little farm work has been done up to the present time. Miss Anna Ashley and Minnie Mur dock visited the family of Mr. Frank McLain Saturday night and Sunday. Married, by Rev. B. P. Mitchell, and at his residence, Mr. Jim Ashley and Miss Minnie Campbell, all of Anderson County. We regret that Dr. Haynie has left us, and predict for him a successful career in Belton. The road s have been in a bad lix all winter and it seems as if they are not going to get any better. Mr. Charley Saylors worshipped at Keowee last Sunday. Mr. J. ll. Murdock and family visited the family of Mr. J. F. Saylors. The Mt. Bethel school is being taught by Miss Rosy McClellan, of Lowndes ville. She seems to be the right one in the right place.

His remains were interred m the Barker's Creek cemetery on Wednesday evening, in the presence of a large congrega tion of friends and relatives. The funeral services were very solemnly conducted by his pastor, Dr. R. W. Sanders. "Blessed are they who die in the Lord.77 TYRO. Cards of Thanks. Mn.

Second Regiment is >"ow in Augusta. Capt. W. E. Gonzales, of the Second South Carolina, arrived in the city yes terday afternoon and will be here a day or two. He is looking somewhat jaded after continuous travel since last Wednesday, but is none the worse in health for his stay in Cuba. In speaking of the regiment, part of which arrived in Augusta yesterday, he said that according to the last or ders received, the Second is to be mus tered out in Augusta. The regiment is being moved over by the Plant Steamship company. Seven companies are now encamped at Augusta. The eighth, with the band and in charge of Col. Jones, is expected on Tuesday. The Third battalion was scheduled to sail from Havana Sunday on the steam ship Yarmouth, and will probably be in Augusta Wednesday night. The loca tion of the camp in Augusta is an ex cellent one, being that occupied by the Ohio regiment, just mustered out. The tent and floors are all in place and thc dining halls are large and much more elaborate than any this regiment has yet had. About 2"> men were left in the hospi tal at Camp Columbia. They will be sent over before long in a hospital ship. There are no serious eases of illness, and many of thc patients are convales cent. Xo plans have been made as yet for thc mustering out, but work on the books will probably begin this week, and the work should be per fected within five weeks, lt seems to be uncertain whether the regiment will be paid off tor March before it is mus tered out. The South Carolinians have been very pleasantly received in Augusta, and the people of that town promise that thc Second Regiment will have no cause to regret the change of the sta tion from Savannah to Augusta. The change was made, not on account of quarantine regulations at Savannah, but by order of the war department. Thc Stn tc, March 27. A Xew Legal Invention. Some Missouri lawyer has invented a bran new basis for a claim for dam ages against a railway company. He basa client who was a member of tho non-commissioned staff ol: one of the volunteer regiments enlisted for the war with Spain. While thc army was being??concentrated in Florida, thc sol dier, ny reason of alleged negligence of the Fort Scott and .Memphis IJailway, fell from a car at .Jacksonville, sust ain - mg injuries thal necessitated his;dis charge from the army. Through J n's attorney he has now brought; suit against, the railway company for $25, ( if ic i damages. The peculiarity bf the case lies in the fact (hat plainliffsets forth in his complaint, as one of the principal damages for which he seeks recompense, "thal, by reason of the. defendant's negligence, plaintiff was deprived of his opportunity to win glory and honor as a. studier in the war with Spain, to his loss and damage."- ?in chcslrr JJrtnoi'.raJ.

Thc particulars areas follows: Mr.AV.P. Griffin, of the linn of Cummings & Griffin, an esteemed merchant of this place, was turkey hunting, using the customary "turkey yelper," which emits a sound that is an'exact imitation of the wild turkey's "yid])." He heard in response what "he supposed to be an an swering "yelp'' from a turkey. Thc exchange of "yelps'" was continued for some tillie, the "yelpors* passing around in a circuitous direction, as is the habit, of turkeys. Finally Mr. Grif tin perceived an cVbject above the low bushes which lie became satisfied was a turkey walking by him on a log, and tired at tlie object, having no doubt he was shooting tlie turkey which for a half hour had been answering his "yelps." Immediately after he fired he went up to get his game before it could scramble away, and to his horror, found a man fatally shot and unconscious, with some three or four buckshot through his left temple. The unfortu nate man was a stranger to Mr. Griffiu, who had never before seen him. but he was recognized later by other persons as Mr. Boodle, a white man of good standing, aged about ">.*j, who. with his wife and children, lived at Brimson. Mr. Boodle was considered an expert turkey hunter and also trapped for fur animals in the swamps. Mr. Griffin, crazed almost with grief, ran his horse home, got thc coroner, a party of friends and a. physician, ?and hurried back. Arriving upon the scene of the accident, the party of gentle men, with sorrowing hearts and kind hands, brought Mr. Boodle, still un conscious, to Hampton, but the wounds were fatn? and he breathed his last about 8 o'clock this morning. The en tire community is now overwhelmed with grief in consequence of the sad occurrence. There is no citizen in this country who is more temperate, pru dent and kind-hearted than Mr. Griffin and it is safe to say that he will do all in his power to lighten the grief of Mr. Boodle's sorrowing family. The ; coroner's jury found a verdict this morning in .accordance with the above facts-that the killing was pure ly a matter of mischance, without any knowledge on the part of Mr. Griffin of the whereabouts of Mr. Boodle, and without any intention to do him bodily harm. The body was attired in a fine new suit of clothes, a handsome coffin was Erovided, and tlie deadman escorted y citizeni? to his wife m Brimson, the party leaving here about 12:530. Mr. Griffin paid all expenses.-Xcics and Courier. Yellow Jaundice Cured. Suffering humanity should be supplied with every means poswible for its relief.
