Intelligencer. Published'every Wednesday. J. F. CLINK8CALE8, I EDITORS AND C. C. LANGSTON, S PROPRIETORS. TERMS : ONE YEAH, - .-- $1 50 SIX MONTHS. --- 75 WEDNESDAY, AUG 21, 1001. Thc Alabama constitutional Conven tion has decreed that the Legislature of that State shall meet only once every four years. Such a law would no doubt prove beneiicial in other States. .- mm . m i'?x-?ov. .John Gary Evans and C. 1\ Sims, Esq., of Spartanburg, an nounce that they will be candidates for tlie Senate next year. There arc now about eight candidates in the race. Have thc people patience enoogh t<> bear them all speak? mt ? -mmm. The conclusion that consumption is curable, reached hy the Tuberculosis Congress, is of great importance. Hut it would be more satisfactory if there had been greater attention given to thc methods. Prevention of infec tion is important, but if there be a cure for consumption beyond thc lirst stages, the world is ignorant of it. - mm . mmm ? Learning how to do things and make things is becoming a more important element iu educational effort io thc United States each year. The ten dency is a hopeful sign in education, not only because it dignities and en nobles handcraft, but because it re presents an elfort to meet the demands of what is certain to bc an agc of great industrial activity. - mm m mt - A Chicago paper says that friends of ex-Governor Pattison, of Pennsyl vania, arc proposing him as a suitable Democratic candidate for the presi dency three years hence. He is a great Democrat and a good man. It would be interesting to hear from him in person. The Democrat who ex pects to lead the party in 1004 must begin to lead it pretty soon. - mm m -i Jamaica asked for a reciprocity treaty with thc United States and thc Senate should make no further resist ance to ratification at its next session. Commercial relations of thc closest character with all the West Indies may be established. If we give them their natural market for their agri cultural products, their consumption of our manufactured goods will rapid ly inoerease. Col. J. H. Estill, editor of the Sa vannah N'?tes, is a candidate for Gov ernor of Georgia. Col. Estill is well and favorably known throughout the South, and has served the Democratic party faithfully. No man in Georgia has a better record. His election to the oflico of Governor would insure a clean and able administration of the State's affairs. The people would make no mistake in electing him. A man of lino executive ability and rare good judgment, he would make a model chief executive. Tho fiscal year just closed shows the greatest export trade in eotton in any ono year in the history of tho country. The total valuo of the caw cotton ex ported was $313,673,443 againstt?2!?0, 712,80S in thc best year ever before known, 1801. These figures aro in excess of the total exports of bread stuff s or provisions, the year's exports of breadstuff's being $275,504,(118 and of provisions $100,008,878. These figures show the enormous value of thc cotton crop, but they can be very easily knocked into a cocked hat by the production of nn enormous crop. Tho Board of Equalization of South Carolina provided for by tho last Legislature to fix thc assessments for taxation of cotton mills, fertilizer and oil mill property, met in Columbia last week. After hearing from cotton mill presidents from nearly every section of the State, tho Board adopted thc plan of assessing cotton mills accord ing to thc market value of their stock and bonds, instead of upon the spin die basis. Heretofore the State has assessed this class of property just as any other real estate and personal property. The results of the change made necessary by the phenomenal growth of these industries remain to bo seen. It is believed, however, that the amount received by thc State will be -jonsiderably larger than under the old system. An honest man who can stacd up boldly before the world and truthful ly say, "lama man," is tho noblest work of Ged. Such a person has some convictions, some principios, some definite and fixed policy, and in stead of skulking around disguising his true colors he comes out boldly for what he believes to be right and gives battle to mako mankind better and nobler and to instill into human ity higher inspiration. Such a man is to be honored and his opinion re spected whether he agrees with us in politics or religion or in social or economic questions. He is not like the man who is blown about and drifts on the ocean ot time ready and anx ious to take up any doctrine or policy that may catch tho popular mind, but his policy is pointing ii? th?; poLr -tar of what he conceives to bc righi nod for tho betterment ana* advancement of mankind, and for that he battles against all policy men and time ser vers. Again wc say ail honor to such a .man. _ _ Reunion of thc .McDavid Family. The reunion of the McDavid family was held in the spring park at Wil liamson last Wednesday and wa? a most enjoyable occasion to the mern? hers und their invited guests. The original founders of the family io this country wer? three brothers, John, Andrew and William, who came together from Scotland, and it was the descendants of Andrew who gathered at Williamston on this oc?anien. An drew's wife was u Woodside, and one of his Buns was James McDavid, who settled near Tumbling Shoals in Wt'i, and who nun ried u daughter of John Hogers, who came from County Antrim, Ireland, und was a resident of old Pen dleton district in 1700. Besides a largo uuinherof friends,! eighty descendants of James McDavid \ were present at this reunion. Among : the latter were I?, ll. McDavid and two j daughters, of Lancaster, Texas. Among the attendants were three old negroes, family servants, one of whom ? came from Arkansas and brought with him un elegant cake lie had baked for ? the occasion. Allen McDavid, whose immediate | decendnnls constituted the greater por- j rion of the kin assembled, married Teresa Acker, and her youngest daugh ter, Mrs. K. T. Heed, of this County, exhibited two lovely spreads made by her mother, the cotton hoing picked, seeded by hand, carded, spun and wo vim into the spread," on which is ? beautiful raised work, which was the fashion of that day. The ceutre of one spread has an eagle with out stretched wings, and underneath is 1 this inscription: "Immortal muy their 1 memory be who fought for liberty. Teresa C. Acker, 1820." Tho letters j are worked in blue thread dyed with ; indigo. _ I Reunion of Orr's Regiment. The nineteenth annual reunion of j tho survivors of Orr's Regiment took j place lust Wednesday at Sandy Springs, ] in this County, where tho Regiment spent two mouths in tho Bummer of 1801 preparing for the serious business of war. The survivors intended lo meet and camp on the old camp ground tho night preceding, but the rain pre- j vented this, and the few who met there | spent the night in the Church. Wednesday morning the clouds hung low and showers fell throughout the day, which kept many of che old sol diers nnd their friends away. Gen. H. lt. Homphill was re-elected president of the Association aud J. W. Thompson was continued as secretary. Comrades lt. Y. H. Lowery, W. T. Mcdill nnd A. M. Guyton were made vice pr?sidents. A commit tee consist ing of W. T. McGhee, W. T. ?llia, W. A. Barron, R. Y. H. Lowery anil J. R. Burns, was charged with the duty of selecting the next place of meeting, which is a lixturo for Tuesday after the Becond Sunday in August. Col. Orr mill Hon. Robert Aldrich, of tho gentlemen invited to address the Association, were present and effective, but Col. J. N. Brown sent a letterot' regret, which was rend. Col. Orr made one of his characteris tic, oil-hand speeches, in which, after sneaking ot the old regiment ns ono of tue iinest bodies of men in the armies of tho Confederacy, he pleaded fora correct history of the war tobo taught in tho schools of the South, and for a modest, but comfortable, home, with land attached, in every county, whero the needy of the old soldiers may round out. their days secure from pri vation and assured that their country men ure proud of them mid their deeds. He closed with an account of tho great progress the South is making along nil lines of industrial endeavor just now, and predicted n marvellous showing for the future. Col. Aldrich's address on "The Con federate Soldier1' waa a masterpiece, being, among other things, ii complete refutation ot tho aspersions cast upon the Southern soldiers by Northern crit ics. That address, completely exhaus tive of tho subject aud clothed in tho purest diction, should be given n placo in tl?.?' archives of tho Association. Gen. I i em phi 11 also made a brief ad dress, the leading features of which were n running account of his service with tho regiment from the 20tu of June, 1802, to tho dropping of tho cur tain at Appomattox, and an nttack upon the inequalities in the operation of tho State pension law. Since tho death of M rn. Orr the man tle of the mother of tho regiment is being worn by Mrs. E. E. Ledbetter. widow of Lieut. Col. Ledbetter, killed on the glorious held of Second Mnuas sas, and this good lady was present, receiving the respectful habitations of her husband's old comrades in arnie. The oldest survivor present was R. W. Haddon, of Company G. who is 81, but the oldest living survivor of the regiment is \V. C. Dickson, of Com pany D, who is living nt White Mound, Grayson County. Texas. Mr. Dickson \ is ss and is totallv blind. W.T. Kilts, o? Duo Wost, was the; only survivor of the regimental band | present, in fact there is but ono other survivor of the musical corps, J. J. Ansel, of Walhalla. FRED G. BROWN'. FRVNK A. 1 Pres. ?ml Tren*. Make Whea AT Ht We are prepared to furnish you an AMMONIATEE ACID PH< Any day you want it.
