An exchange says: "Bryan has had two innings at the bat and both times wont out on an easy fly. If the Demo crats ever hope to make a run we must have a new man to do tho stick work." Editor Buchanan of the Chester Reporter evidently speaks from ex perience when he says: "As a rule, when a couple are in love there is, in all the wide, wide world, nothing sil lier than their conversation--except their letters." Thc probabilities arc that thc larg est number of candidates for Congmss will bo in thc field this year in the history of the State. Thc State was cut into new districts by the recent General Assembly. This fact made new relations and brings out new can didates. Don't talk too much about any thing you seo and say absolutely nothing about what you hear. What's heard is usually wrong, and what ono sccs is not often what it looks to be. Follow thoso rules, and it will en hance the value of the opinion you have of your neighbors. The recent increase in insurance rates has aroused opposition and an tagonism in all parts of the country and in many GCC??O?B rho business men, and manufacturers in particular, arc organizing mutual insurance com panies to resist the exactions of the regular insurance companies. W. W. Ball, until recently city editor of the Jacksonville (Fla.) Times Union, has assumed tho management of the Laurens Advertisor since tho death of its editor, his father, Col. B. W. Ball. We aro more than pleased to have Bro. Ball again in the jour nalistic ranks of this his nativo State. The citizens of Ludington, Mich., have established a precedent whioh may bo widely copied. Incensed at the charges of their physicians, they contracted with one physician to care for the health of the town at a stipulated salary of $1,800 per annum, agreeing to pay a stipulated fine where tho doctor found ho had bcon called unnecessarily. June 5th has been fixed as the date for tho Demooratio primary election for Governor in Georgia. We are almost tempted to play a little of the . tactics of our clever friends in Geor gia who came to South Carolina's resoue in 1876 and go over there and cast our ballot for that distinguished journalist and .statesman, Gol. J. H. Estill, editor of the Savannah Nows. Hon. James M. Griggs, cf Georgia, who was unamiously chosen for chair man of the Demooratio Congressional Commute, is believed to be just tho man for tho plaoe, and great things arc being predicted of his manage ment. No committee has started with moro confidence of electing a majority of tho Houso than this ono now has. \ There is a deep significance in the fact that Republican organs through out the country aro now earnestly warning thoir party of the danger of overconfidence as to tho results of the Congressional olections. The Demo cratic organization should bo encour aged to exceptional effort by the Re publican uneasiness. An aggressive Democratic campaign will mean Dem ocratic victory. Trustees of thc Confederate Memo rial Association at a meeting held in Atlanta recently definitely determined upon Hie h mond, Va., as tho looation on whioh to build the Confederate museum. O.e hundred thou mud dollars was donated by the late Charles Broadway ROUSB toward the found ing of a battle abbey in thc South, provided a like sum could be raised by popular subscription. In the report submitted by the treasurer of tho As sociation it was shown that all of the additional amount has been obtained and pledged. Dr. B. H. Teague, of Aiken, is the South Carolina member of the Board. It is risking nothing to say that in tho South the custom of grace before meat is observed more largely than elsewhere in the United Statos, and in the South it is more general in the rural than in thc urban distriots. It is the exception rather than the rule to find a farmer's family in the South in whieh there is not a strong reli gious bent and a pretty striot adher ence to the religious conventions Sabbath observance, family prayers and grace before meat included. ? It is this survival of the Christian opirit on tho farms that sends so many far mers' boys into the world strong men to fight the battles of life. j 7 ? His Forty-Third Anniversary. On the 1st inst. Editor Hugh Wilson completed his 43rd anniversary as ed itor and proprietor of that excel lent newspaper, the Abbeville PresB nod Banner, and to him we extend our congratulations, nud hopo he will live to celebrate many moro anniversaries. Tho issue of his paper of March 20 con tained a most interesting historical ar ticle from his pen on the editors and publishers of upper Carolina who were in tho business when ho entered it in 1859. From his article we clip the follow ing paragraphs in reference to persons who were connected with fho papers published in Anderson during tho fif ties: James A. Hoyt, who was publishing a paper at Anderson nt the outbreak of the civil war, has participated in all the exciting events since1HU0. He vol unteered in an Anderson company, which suffered perhaps more severely tIniii any other. Ho was Lieutenant, and was badly wounded. After the war he started the publication of the An derson Intelligencer. T. H. Kussel!, of tho Anderson Ga zette, quit journalism in th?; titties, moved to tiio country and has since then devoted his energy ami skill to fanning. Ile still writes for the news papers. Ile is now about eighty years old. Archy Todd was one of tho first mail clerks on the Greenville and Columbia Railroad. In 180*0 he was stricken with paralysis nt Helton and was taken from the train on the main line to Anderson, where lie died at his home within the next few days surrounded by his family. Tho Anderson Gazette was an old paper, and it seems to he a pity that it should have been allowed to die, and itB lame to bo blotted from memory and its name to bo forgotten. Mr. Todd was connected with the Ander son Gazette, certainly ns far back as 184r>, when tho ollice was destroyed and the town Buttered so severely by lire. His partner then was a Mr. Wyatt. It is said that in tho early fifties an old woman from tho mountains came into the Gnzetto otlico and said that she wanted a Bible printed. .She brought her knitting along and would wait for it. Tho obliging printer told tho wo man to bo seated, He went oui to a bookstore and bought the Bible, with which she was well pleased, and said that it didn't tako long to do the work. Tho first dollar paper, of which I have any recollection, was printed ut Anderson in the early fifties by Cole man C. Puckett-the Southern Bights Advocate. My recollection is, that it did not make money. In those days religious matter was generally omitted from secular newspapers. It has been only of late years that local newspapers {lublished sermons. The Southern tights Advocnte waa among the first of tho county papers to have a religious column. It was kept up for a time with little success. After the "relig ious column" had appeared for a time, a roan slightly under the intluence of liquor came into the office and with more or less profanity told the editor if he published any more of tho "religious column" he would stop his subscription to the paper-and tho religious column appeared no more in tho Southern Bights Advocnte. Now, I believe, all the newspapers publish more or less religious matter. Many of them publish sermons. The habit of "blowing" or crowing over a little success dates far back. Con gressman J. L. Orr, being much pleas ed with nu editorial utterance of tho Southern Bights Advocate, handed the editor twenty dollars to send copies of tho naper to twenty names. Tho next week the number of ''now subscribers received last Saturday" was noted with a great llourish. Aaron Items. After the pleasant rnin last evening, to-day (April 8) reminds us of the dreary days of winter. Mina Annie Bogers, of the Whitefield section, is on a visit to relatives and friends hore. Miss May Hunter closed her school nt Midway Friday, 2oth uit., and has re turned home. The prayer meeting at Hopewell last i Sabbath afternoon, conducted by Mr. ! George Martin, in a very appropriate manner, was n very impressive ono. Some of tho young men aro very en thusiastic in this work. W. W. Guyton, of tho X. C. & St. L. Bailrond, who has been on unextended visit to home-folks, returned Inst Sun doy. From all appearances penches will bo plentiful this year. Claude and Clem Harris, of Harris' Bridge, visited in the Broadway sec tion recently. They report a pleasant time. Spring oats aro looking fine. Misses Jeffie Martin and Willie Har rison, two of Hopewell's most attrac tive young Indies, were guests of Mrs. J. A. Pruitt last Sunday. Mrs. J. W. Kay and daughter, M?SB Maggie, of Beltou, visited relatives here Saturday night, and were accom panied home Sunday by W. O. Guyton and pister, Miss Maude. News is Bcnrce. Observer.

John li. Patrick, his father, is a candidate for the oflico of Adjutant n*,d Inspector General. No better or more competent or suitable man could be chosen for this position. A nina well versed in the knowledge this office requires, u man of experience with tho high qualities of mind and heart essential to tho successful ad ministration of the affairs of this o?lic? and with the peculiar energy that is needed, he is the man for the place. It is a hopeful sign when such men offer for office.-Pickens Journal. Capt. J. M. Patrick, of Anderson, has announced himself a candidate for Ad jutant and Inspector General. His friends have been urging him to run for some time. Tho announcement that Capt. Patrick has decided to outer tho race for this office will bo received with moro than ordinary interest. He is well known throughout tho State and is particularly well littcd for the position. He has been actively connected with th? militia service of tho Stat? for many years.-Leo County Vindicator. A Brilliant Wedding at Piedmont. A notably fashionable wedding oc curred at tho residence of Mr. T. J. Hannon, "The Oaks," at Piedmont on Wednesday, 2nd inst., Miss Mamie, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Hannon, and Mr. Jesse Campbell, of Williamston, S. C., being tho contract ing parties. Invitations to 1?5 were responded to in person by nearly all and th? brilliant assemblage of gowns and refined per son ni i ties attested tho choice circle from among whom Mr. and Mrs. Han non and their daughter drew their coterie of friends this eventful even ing. Miss Mamie Hannon was favorably known in the Greenville Female Col lege, where sho received her education. Thu young Indy also travelled exten sively, and had all the benefits of cul tured resources. She was a favorite among the substantial citizens of Pied mont, who appreciated the worth of a young woman who could be ns useful SB ornamental. Mr. and Mrs. Hannon amassed their means in Piedmont and erected their handsome residenco-one of the few fine dwellings of the mill town-through the strict business in tegrity and business accomplishments of Mr. Hannon and his wife. Mr. Han non, known so extensively nmong.busi ness men of the State, might have smiled nt the sage remark of a friend on the evening of the wedding: "Mr. Hannon looksjubUant," said the friend, "whether it is the securing of such a good son-in-law or tho contract just closed ot' 5,000,000 brick for the works at Lockhart, it is hard $p say." How ever, that Mr. Hannon is a happy man there is no denying. The "son-in-law," Mr. Campbell, by the way, is no ICBS worthily known in Williamston, his homo, and in Pied mcnt, where, for tbree years, he has been the responsible assistant of the Piedmont Drug Co. in that department superintended oy Dr. Donald. He en tered upon this position here and con tinues in tho favor of highest recom mendation. Associated with the young couple at the wedding were representations of well known families in Piedmont, Wil liamston, Greenville and surrounding points. The bride, bearing with dig nity all tho conventional charm of brides, was escorted by her maids, Missen Cleveland. Sarah Donald, Ena Simpson and Miss Major; the grooms men being Messrs. Harrison, Hice nnd Henderson, all of Piedmont. The decorations of the parlor and dining room, which were radiant under the large gas arc supplied by the Piedmont Drug Co., were under tho superinten dance of Mr. J. H. Donald, Miss Ida Simpson and Mrs. Wm. F. Lee. Among soTuo of the handsome and becoming gowns were those worn by Mrs. Dr. Cry mes, Mrs. Duff Sloan, I Mi:,s Sue Trowbridge, the Misses Cleveland, the bride and her maids and flower girls, being n fluffy mass cf fra gile white with satin ribbon. Many congratulations were received by the hoBt and hostess tor ?he arrange ments of the evening and the palata bleness of the wedding supper. The bride and groom at present reside in the Inn, awaiting som? location for the large bulk of valuable presents re ceived. Mr. and Mrs. Campbell havo the best wishes of Piedmont. R. R. L.
