The murders and suicides which hay e occurred throughout the country dur ing the past few weeks are appalling. - - M? * ^ Bill Ari? says a left-handed moon is the cause of our long siege of rain, hut that big crops -will be made, in fact, larger than can be gathered, as was the case forty years ago. We hope Bill's prediction will prove true. An Interstate Migration and Inionn atiori Bureaii has been organized in Washington co >elp the colored people in the over-crowded Southern States get homes on the. vnoccupied public landis in the Western ??tates and Terri tories. -,m * mi ? Gen. Otis says the volunteers in the Philippines are not anxious to?eturn home, preferring to remain until con ditions are more satisfactory. This statement may be entirely accurate, : but it would be interesting to have statements from a few privates. Hon E. E. Veiner, one of Oconee County s most popular Representatives in the Legislature, has bought a con trolling interest in the Oconee News, and succeeds Mr. J: R. Earle as editor of that paper. We extend him a hearty welcome to the field of journalism. Prosperity is in the land. The ex ports are exceeding all previous re cords; imports are decreasing, thus , proving that American industries are in a healthy condition. But what of the souith? An aU-money-4vcents-a-, - pound-crop is the reply. Neither profit nor prosperity in it. ;Reportscomingm indicate that while some sections of the cotton belt will J; ; curtail the acreage in cotton, that enough will be planted on new open ings to make the acreage about the s?meas that of last year. The acreage > in corn will be increased about 20 or 25 per cent, in all sections. ? t wm The Kentucky- and - Georgia- monu ments to the Confederate dead at Chickamauga, Tenn., will be dedicated on-May 3 and 4 respectively. The Governor and his staff of .both States w?Pattend and participate in the exer cises, and the occasion will no doubt attract a large crowd of spectators. -? ? ? The Pennsylvania Legislature ad journed last week without electing a United S tates Senator. The Republi cans were divided on the re-election of Senator Quay, and neither faction would yield. The Governor, however, has appointed Senator Quay to serve until the Legislature meets again next year. -- . m. -. Atlanta has a "spitting" ordinance which prohibits the spitting on side walks and in' street cars. If you go to Atlanta be careful where you spit or yon will get "pulled." This example should make some people blush with shame over this way and should be hint enough to convince them that it is ?not nice to even spit on church floors and in stores. - m i ^ The April report of the statistician of the Department of Agriculture, Washington, shows the average condi tion of. winter wheat was over 8 per cent, below last year's report of same date, and nearly 7 per cent, lower than the average for ten years. This condi tion exists in 26 of the 30 States grow ing winter wheat. This will no doubt cause the price of flour to advance. It is reported from Washington that at least 25 per cent of the volunteers who enlisted in the army during the war with Spain will apply for pensions. If this be true, and the applicants are met with the usualsuccess, the pension i rolls will be increased many million s of dollars. The use of Eagan's embalmed beef will be prima facie evidence that the applicants should be pensioned. It is said that in South Carolina, Georgia and most of the Southern States that an agreement willi be en tered pito between the Republican and Democratic leaders for a division of the appointment of census supervisors and enumerators. It is expected that those who will be selected to take the next census in the South will be evenly divided among the Democrats and Re publicans^_ Mrs. Annie Hemphill Neuffer, wife . of Dr. G. A. Ncufi?r, a leading physi-' cian of Abbeville, died at her home in that town last Sunday morning. Mrs. Neuffer was the eldest daughter of Gen. R. R. Hemphill, and before her marriage was associated with her father in editing the Abbeville Medium. She was a brilliant, charming woman, pos sessing many noble virtues ot' both mind and heart, and was greatly ad mired by a host of friends throughout the State. We tender our sympathies to the bereaved family. The grand jury of York County, in its report to the recent term of Court, puts itself on record as favoring "per manent macadamized roads" through out the county. It says the great ex pense of constructing such roads is in significant in comparison with the benefits to be derived, and suggested that the money needed tor macadamiz ing be raised by the issuance in each township ot" long time bonds in sums varying from $25,000 to $100,000, ac cording to the needs and abilities of the respective townships. This grand joiy is on the right line, aud it" i*< re commendation > are carried <->::r York Cot*.uty may expect :?? har.- good roads. By the time the Filipinos war is closed and the difficulty with Samoa is settled and the Cubans are pacified, the hot-headed expansionists will be will ing to leave that plank out of the na tional platform. They will prefer "not touching" it. lt is daily becoming-plainer to close observers that President McKinley and his advisers do not regard next year's campaign as a Republican walk-over. They are diligently studying ways and means for corraling electoral votes that they consider doubtful. The trip that President McKinley is now ar ranging to make this summer to the Pacific coast is one of the ways that has been decided upon. . They do not expect to be able to cany Delaware, Maryland or Kentucky again, but they hope for Kansas and Nebraska, both of which States are likely to be visited on Mr. McKinley's western trip. They are also beginning to realize that some sort of a bluff against trusts must be made. Townville Items. A tenant house of Mr. J. A. Gaines caught fire last Friday at noon; but by prompt action of the citizens the fire was put out before it done much dam age. A good big hole was burned iii the roof. We are told that if we will pay for the surveying of the Black Diamond through "our country we can get it. Mr. Editor, please inform "Black Dia mond Jim" that we will do that with pleasure. Mr. D. L. Fant, of our olace, is now running a first-class bicycle establish ment and is selling bicycles cheap. We see in the INTELLIGENTER some thing about an old time cake walk. Now, we never saw an old rime cake or a new time cake walk, but heard about them all our lives, and our idea about them was that when a fellow got there he grabbed a cake and walked off with it. Now, Mr. Editor, if tbat conclu sion . is not correct rise and explain. When I was a boy the people would, always talk about Salesday like it was some great day, and we concluded that a whole lot of gay fellows met at some place with their*fine horses and buggies and just sailed around and had a fine time. But we have learned better. Now it means to drink whiskey, curse and swap old rips. If an intelligent heathen was to take notes at some of our Salesdays we are afraid that he .would get disgusted with Christianity and our boasted civilization. But enough of this ; we are getting pessi mistic. Let us look on the bright side and tell of our free institutions that are supported by our Christian people, such as our Orphanages, where hun dreds of helpless children are fed and clothed and educated under Christian influence, and Colleges and Churches and Missionary Societies, which are bringing joy and gladness to thousands ofpeople in every clime. Townville Baptist Sunday School No. 1 elected officers last Sunday as fol lows : Superintendent, W. N. Bruce : Assistant, L. 0. Bruce ; Secretary and Treasurer, J. H. Bruce; Delegates to the Sunday School Institute, E. N. Campbell, L. 0. Bruce and J. R.Bruce; Alternates, S. Gr. Bruce, B. L. Camp bell and "VT. N. Bruce. Miss Surratt, of Williamston, S. C., is spending awhile with the familv of Rev. D. W. Hiott, of this place. Mr. D. A. Ledbetrer, of Anderson, has been visiting kinfolks and friends in our community. OLD ROSIX DE BOW. Fork Items. Messrs. N. 0. Farmer, R. L. Farmer, and H. C. Routh are in Greenville this week as witnesses in the Federal Court. Small grain is humping itself, and the farmers are delighted over the rains that have come. The strains of the violin are com mingled with the music at Smith Chapel Sunday School. This is some thing new in the Fork, and some of the brethren look with suspicion upon the innovation. The entertainment in Miss Majors' School a week or so ago, was a very pleasant occasion. There was no preaching in the Town ville Presbyterian Church, last Sunday, owing to the sickness of the pastor, Rev. w. S. Hamiter, but he has an ap pointment for next Sunday. Mrs. Mary Hix, widow of the late D. J. Hix, is hopelessly 6ick at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. R. M. Graham, ou the Pendleton side, neat* Bruce's Ford. Mr. J. I. Barron, who has been an in valid for some two-years, is very much improved. Misses Ida and Alice Wright, of An derson, are visiting the family of their uncle, Mr. J. Ii Barton. Mr. Whituer Harrison Palmer, who helps to push the business of Ligou & Ledbetter, accompanied by his sister, Miss Jennie, was among relatives and friends in the Fork Sunday. Esquire Cromer, the new law-giver for the Fork, administers the affairs of his office smoothly. Mr. J. L. 0. Whitfield-, whose house was burned sometime ago, has built and occupied an ell on the same site. The colored Methodists have built a very attractive Church at Townville. Mr. J. L. McCarley, who suffered so heavy h loss of live stock and other property by lire recently, has, by his own efforts and the assistance of a practically sympathizing public, gotten under way again. It is rumored that the negro charged with the crime, and who is in jail at Walhalla, has eoiifcss j ed, and implicates other negroes about the place. Corner Creek Items. A majority of our people; are through putting*,in fertilizer. A few have been planting cotton seed, and with several more days of pretty fair weather like we have been having for the past two weeks, everybody will be ready for Mic pic nics and go fishing. Peaches will doubtless be a scarce article with us this year. But apples, cherries and a few plums ami lots of blackberries will be plentiful. Messrs. Hugh Bigby and Henry Mc Gee, two of I'elzer s popular sports, were iii our midst for a few hours Sun day. They wheeled the trip?n "bikes." Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Pruitt, of Corrine, spent last Saturday night and Sunday here with relatives. Miss Ora Bigby, who has been assist ant teacher in the Friendship school tor several months, came home last Friday, hov time having expired. Our farmers have excellent wheat, and tlie prospects fora large yield is good. "Bill' Neal's iiiHuence in political affairs hereafter will no doubt be very slim with liim, and his limny friends can rest assured that hr- will never again hold a public oilier- in this Stale. Yes. und all the rriticisms we have read about him are none too severe fur him; for if ir had a been a poor farmer he surely would have heen sentenced io the penitentiary for life. Occasionally a new ronvspomleiit springs up, amitie- l\"n;i.i.i<?i:.\? ."K'S i if; i nd will doubtless ofn number any other County paper in the State. The last we note is thc one who so bril liantly made his bow to us in the last issue from Aaron. As we have enjoyed several pleasant visits to this little enterprising village, it is a great pleas ure for us to learn that she is on a "boom." May Kidneyville ever grow and prosper in the future, and succeed in getting that Black Diamond double track built through the bounds of her town and on by her neighboring city, Septus. We gladlv welcome your Mr. Porter into our midst. Wishing everybody continued joy and happiness in life, we are still lust TYRO. Corner Dots. Our fanners are well under way in the preparation of their crops, and in a few more days the entire crop will be planted. As it is a large part of both corn and cotton has been planted and some corn is beginning to come up. Mr. A. S. Bowie has about an acre of very fine barley, which will yield about 40 bushels. Can any one beat that ? The small grain crop is looking fine, especially wheat, and the best part of it is that there is a lot of it sown. There was a party at Dr. S. L. Whar ton's last Friday night which was greatly enjoyed by those participating. Miss Iola. Johnson, a charming young lady from Anderson, is visiting her sister, Mrs. J. A. Cook. Misses Annie Liddel and Georgia Cunningham, of Loivndesville, spent the day with friends in the Corner last week. Dr. Earnest Watson, our new physi- j cian, has been in our midst for several j days, and has in this short time made j many friends, all of whom lie will do good in case of sickness, as well as all others whom he will soon know. Dr. Watson is staying with Mr. if. A. Cook, and can be found there at. all hours, when not engaged. Mr. Eros. s. Hamilton,' of Russell ville, Ark., has had a relapse and is not expected to live. His many friends are saddened to hear of his condition, but sincerely hope that he may re cover. The sympathy of the whole neighborhood is with his sorrow strick en mother, sister and brother in this hour of deepest grief. Rev. A. L. Patterson, of Mt. Carmel, {reached a fine -seimon at Generostee ast Sunday morning. There will be no preaching rat Gen erostee on the 1st Sunday of May, as the pastor will be away assisting Rev. A. L. Patterson at Mt. Carmel. The regular communion service at Good Hope will embrace the 2nd Sun day of May, instead of the fifth Sunday of April, as was announced in the Advocate. Preaching to begin on Sat urday before at ll o'clock. DRACOS. Friendship Items. Another shower has fallen and all vegetation is throwing oft' old winter's blanket and showing their pretty green suits and filling the air -with a sweet odor. The birds are singing their melodious songs and all creatures seem exultant and happy. Surely spring is the loveliest season of the year. A Sunday School was organized at this place oil the 2nd Sunday with Mr. John Davis as Superintendent. We hope it will prove a success. A most delightful singing was enjoy ed by our young people at Mr. Fred erick Owen's last Sunday night. ' Mrs. C. E. Pilgrim is very sick at present. Bessie, the little six-year-old daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. John Browning, died on the 13th inst, of pneumonia. We extend our sympathy to the be reaved parents. Our school will close next Friday and then the school boys will be converted into plow boys. A certain young man went to see his best girl Sunday night and left his bicycle. We don't know what was his reasons unless the old man got after him and he out run it. Miss Mary Wilson, who has been visiting her relatives near Pendleton, has returned home. Mr. Henry Forsten and family, of Hickory Flat, visited his wife's parents recently. Misses Maggie and Julia Webb were visiting Miss Josie Wilson last Sunday. Mr. Samuel Elrod, who has been m bed some time, is convalescing. Our fanners have luid some nice weather for the last week, and they have been making good use of it. Some cotton seed have been planted, and ere long the plowing and hoeing of cotton will be the general order of the day. SCHOOL GIRLS. Trinity Items. Another week of sunshine and the farmers have turned things "upside down." You can hear the bells on every side, everybody ' is as happy as the mocking bird with her nestlings or the duck with her first little gang, but none are as happy as the plow bo3r as lie hurries in at the call ot the dinner bell, get a pan, half washes his face, falls down at the table,caHs for about enough for three common men and be gins his waj\ Watch out ! something will be missing. Most our farmers have their fertili sers all in and some are nearly done planting. I tell you, Mr. Editor, they know how to get a move on them. . ( Mir famous blacksmiths, Duckworth & Smith, have made a most beautiful and useful piece of work in the way of a lap-link. They keep it at their shop for show. Call around and see it, for we believe it is very useful and con venient. Some of our yoting people enjoyed themselves at a sociable at Mr. W. IB. Smith's the other evening. A crowd of the Anderson boys came up, and with a few of the neighboring girls and boys, wc had a most delightful time. The Anderson crowd Mas headed by Mr. Preston Kant and .Miss Jennie Bowie, two of Anderson's most charm ing and popular young people. We hope these young people will come again and give us a longer notice and we will try lo make them enjoy them selves mucli better. Hut be careful and don't lose your hats, as one of the boys did going back home. Mr. Henry Bolt, who has been spend ing awhile with his father and friends, has returned home, much to the regret of his many friends. Come-up, Mr. Editor, in about three weeks and yon will lind some fried chicken. Es.-Sctiooi. Boy. Sunday School Meeting.

The play given by thc Lowndesville Dramatic Club, for the benefit of the school library, came off Friday night as advertised. The troupe proved fully competent, and Miss Julia McGhee as "Miss Amelia-' was especially fine. The play was "The Deacon's Tribula tions." Mr. D. L. Barnes returned from El berton Friday, accompanied by Miss Laura Clinkscales, one of our most attractive young ladies, who has been staying with her brother-in-law, Mr. Ardra Pressley. Mr. F. F. Latimer has returned from Ander-on, where he has been visiting relatives and friends. Several of our people are anticipating much pleasure in a trip to Due West Friday-to hear the intercollegiate ora torical contest in the auditorium ot' Erskiue College, in which representa tives from nearly eveiy college of any prominence in the State will compete for the championship. The stockholders of the Lowndesville ? Oil Mill met and organized Saturday | afternoon. Mr. A. L. Latimer was 1 elected President, A. V. Barnes, Secre- | taiy, and the following directors : B. i C. Kay, I. H. McCalla", E. R. Horton, D. E. Barnes. T. D. Cooley, E. W. Harper, A. L. Latimer. The mill will be built during May or June, so as to be ready for work when the season opens. At a meeting of the taxpayers of the Lowndesville School District, called to decide whether or not an election should be held to allow the people to determine whether the present school tax should be discontinued or not, it was decided that no election should be held. McD. H. Flat Rock Items;. Sometime has elapsed, Mr. Editor, j since wc have seen anything in the I columns of your valuable and inter-;, esting paper from this place, but 1 take < my peu in haste to let the readers of! ? your paper know what is going on in our midst. Mr. Charley Gray, of Moscow, spent Saturday night in this community. . Mr. James W. Drake, a competent and well qualified teacher of Donalds. S. C., closed a very successful school here last Friday, and on the day fol lowing there was quite a nice little pic nie. About 4 o'clock he left for Ander son, where he aimed to board the train for home, but got there just about three minutes too late. And of course did not get off. So, "sum uv de gals got dey wush." ?? The Union Meeting will meet at this place next Saturday and Sunday. Boys, we should get up a "wheel club" out here, as we have the material both in the riders and the wheels, for most of us ride "Cresents" and "Heroes" bought of Sullivan Hardware Co., which are strictly first-class in eveiy respect. I would be glad to hear from other writers at this place on this subject. 1 SPORT. Program for Union Meeting.

AYER, _Real Estate Agent. A SPEECH WORTH READING. FELLOW-CITIZENS, LADIES, GENTLEMEN AND CHILDREN : It affords us no little pleasure to be with, you this evening, because we have been pouring our tale of woe in your kind ears for ten long, weary years, and you have never turned a deaf ear to our supplications. Our experience has proven that a straight, honest statement of a proposition is all you ask, but is what you must have. Our efforts always being on this line, we are brought more closely together, and when we have asked you for bread, or its equivalent, we have not been given a stone, nor have we delivered you pebbles instead of grain. And now td draw thc cord which binds "thee to me" more tightly wc have contracted to fool away about one thousand dollars worth of Shuts-a. great sacrifice compared with regular prices. With this in view, we have secured the sample lines made up by two of the largest and best Manu facturers in this country. If a factory makes only one pair of good Shoes in a whole year wc believe they would be the sample pair. Does it strike you. that way. Now, remember, these goods came only one pair of a kind, and if that pair fits you-you have a bargain for the asking. Now. would you be doing yourself justice to pass thom by. None so blind who do not wish t? see. AVc put one of these sample lines on sale last Thursday, and you should have witnessed the sport. Thc second line we will offer beginning to-day, and we want to sec you fellows in at thc rat-killing. To illustrate the value of thc bargains we actually offer in these goods it is enough to tell you what some of our competitors are doing to try to head-off thc rush. Some two or three of them have gotten out their old stock of odd si/.es and ancient styles, threw away the boxes, and spread the Shoes out on counters and tables like our' and would have you believe they are selling samples, too. Some folks always ready to try to do like us. It is always easy to buy samples, but the opportunity to buy samples, made expressly for sam ple purposes by the manufacturers themselves, and consequently the very best they can make, does not come often, nor to many people at all. Listen what some of our customers arc saying about us. A lady bought sixteen pairs, and told her husband that she was about to pass our door when, she reckons, the Lord directed her to come in. Another lady, seeing a lot that was carried home by a friend to select from, nabbed one line pair, and came right on to our Store and got two more pairs. Two gentlemen met on thc street, stopped and planted their shapely, well-dressed understandings on the sidewalk for inspection, and were about to advise each other to attend our exhibition and get shod, when each discovered that the other had already been to see us and was all heeled. One little girl insisted on keeping her feet on thc seat at Sunday School ''because," she said, "I must take care of these Shoes ; they are thc best I ever had. Mama bought them at the 10c. Store." A happy old fellow that never saw such values before says : '"I can wear Shoes even in thc Summer-time now." We also have a pretty linc of 50c. Shirts which wc will sell you at -?c. each, Don't be too slow and miss the pic-others arc grabbing; and why not you.
