THE PEOPLE'S JOURNAL T. 0. ROBINSON, EDITO* P1dBLUSHD EVERy gMUgDAY Subscription One Dollar a Vear Entered at the FoBt Olice at Pickens a second-ela mattel'. A pressure of other matter crowds out editorial this week. From Easley. July 7th, 1894. At this time the Reform Club is being called together with a good ly number. The town is full of candidates, and many to come. Everything quiet since my last letter. We have had good rains--crops looking well-business lively with the merchants. Eggs and chick ens plentiful. We can boast of one little man who bought 116 chickens. Since my last we had a pretty bad runaway scrape in town. Mar tin Hall Hagood and Earnest Fol ger, wore taking their evening ride, one of Mr. W. M. Hagood's fine blooded mares, got frightened at a barrel and ran off. She run just for fun, tearing ip harness and buggy, but nobody hurt. We are glad to know that our town paper is coming out again next wook, with C. T. Martin, Bu sinoss Manager and 'Editor, so you can got all the nows. With many good wishes for the JOURNAL 1 bid you adieu. OLD FATTY. From Liberty. July 9th, 1894. John Gunter brought in the first cotton bloom we saw July 2d, and J. F. Boggs and Jay Smith report ed blooms the 23d of June. We had pluml) well grown roast ing-ears for dinner July 4th. Talk about your corn tassels. P r of. R. T. Iallamis, Junius Boggs, and Wado Aviuger, from Clemson College are sponding the two weeks vacation in towii, or at home, near town. E J. C. O'Dell, of G. P. R. R., paid rt his father, A. O'Dell, a flying visit, r last week, on account of the lat- ( ter's recent illness. C Miss Maud Grice visited rela- a tives in town last wook. a J. S. O'Dell had his house do stroyod by fire, on the night of the r 5th instant, the greater portion of the effects were saved, fully cover ed by insuranco.t We have rain in abundance of late, can't kill the grass, ae the showers roset, after it is dry and The Fa~rmer's TI r ii b u n e (Des Moin, Iowa,) puts it in this shape on the situation: "The greed and heairtlossniess of the emiploying classes is dloing its work. Only by starvation can the millions be taught any new ideas of govern mi-:t. W hez you hoar a laboring mu de' > g the old parties and uphh.lding the monopolists, let them alone. He has not been squeezed hard enough. You can't reason with him, brit a hungry .stomach will finally :cure his dis ease, and bring him to time, so let him alone. When they see things in their true light they will recog nline the fact that they must vote together or perish, and in order to do this they must investigate, and choose the right. C. For the Candidate. Candidates, one for State Senate, if none other runs lie is sure to win Candidates, three for the House, the one that's left will feel like a sick mouse. Candidates, four for County Au ditor, three of them will drop, antd who will be the welcome p~laudi ter, and who will stand around and pant. Candidates, five for Treasurer, only one is sure to win, the other four will stand s. leisure, while the fifth will stand and grin. Candidates, two for School Corn missionier, the one that gets there will be prohibitioner. Candidates, two for Judge of Pro bate, that one will fall is no debate. Candidates, four for Supervisor, who will have to submit? Just wait and you'll be wiser, as to the three who hit the grit. Supervisor of Registration has no one, as we can see. If all will m end their .declination, then per hasit is left for me. 0. Thei Reformers of~Pumpkintown Township muet and organized by electing V. S. Jones, President: W B. Jones, President; D. U.

COLUMBIA, July 8.--Special: The Reformers are watching .with a great deal of interest the special meeting of the executive commit tee, which has been called to moot here on Tuesday. One can hear all kinds of suggestions about what will be done, and wagers that the committee will abandon the pri mary plan which was ordered. There seems to be possible danger ahead in the event of the declina tion to abandon the strictly par tisan primary as well as in stand ing by it. The situation, to a non-partisan, looks something like this: The contest for the Gubernatorial con test has every appearance of being between John Gary Evans on the one side and the other three candi dates on the other. John Gary Evans is considered to have the support of the orthodox and ultra Reformers, while Ellerbo is genor ally credited with being the Alli anco champion. Secretary of State Tindal is just now the candi date of no particular faction, but has the support of the more liberal minded Roformers, and Dr. Samp son Pope, who is running as the "Orphan boy candidate," has no special class of allies. Now the campaign has boon jog ;ing along for over two wooks and 0 ,he candidatos, or rather their 7riends, are beginning to count :hances, as indicated by the met ngs. The friends of Mr. Tindal .ocognize that if the Conservativos ty tro going to voto at all that he dr vould got more of their votes than or nost of the other candidates, and ca vithough Mr. Tindal is not asking or those votes, that is the general of tupression as a result of the style ha f the man and his campaign. f Now as betwoon Evans and El. irbo the friends of Eilerbe recog izo that ho will get more of the onsorvative or liberal vote than c vans if the general primary is ct sortod to, and the selection or iggesting is not made by a close d >mbination. Ellerbe's friends -e as a result not set againat the )andonmnent of the club primary N -heno, but may not for political tI Masons and effect come out and P avocate the plank There does ts ot soomi to be ally questioni about aI hd fact that the Evans crowd on t ho executive committee will do t 11 in their power to defeat ainy 8 urpose to change the existing I ule with reference to the "suggest- E It looks very much as if the de ~ision of this question will be one >f vital importance to the Reform irs, and there can be no question a.bout the fact that which over -way the matter is deoided it will be a bitter pill for the opposmng faction. Whether this smart under defeat will have any permanlent effect would be entirely problematic. It may. Then the fight will very probably be much more interest ing than it is at p~resenlte. ELLERBE'S DEVELOPMENT. There is conlsidorable surprise hereabouts at the dlevelojpmnlt of Mr. Ellerbe as a stump speaker. It was not expected that he would undertake such an aggressive cam paign, and f.rom indications there is every probability of' its getting moreoso.--Nows & Courier. The Reformers of Pickens C. HI.

Will be a Shock -to the State--Andreson't Most Prominent Citizen Drotned ina Front of his Own House---The Body Recovered after Twenty Minutes but Eforts at Resuscitation in Vain. Special to The Daily News. ANDERoN, July 7.--Major E. B. Murray was drowned this after .noon. in a. small pond in front of his house. He aad . Miss Felicia, his daughter, Miss Mary Preer and Miss Helen Sloan were in bathing. After being in about an hour Maj. Muriay carried a boat out near the middle of the pond for one of the young ladies to dive from. She dived and swam ashore and while standing on shore they noticed Mr. Murray strugling in the water at some distance from the boat. His daughter asked if she must come to him. He shook his head. She then went out to him with Miss Preer. Major Murray caught hold of each of the young ladies and would have pulled them under but that they caught hold of the boat. They called for help but before any assistance arrived he sank in wa ter about ton foot doop. The 2ews sproad very rapidly and a argo crowd soon gathered. Wil- t ianm Gilos, after sovoral searches, a ound the body and after several fforts brought it up and carried it ) shore. Doctors Harris, Wilhite nd Frierson wore at work exerting rory offort to resusciato him, but t, tr working more than an hour toy found no signs of life. The )dy was in the water about twen- T minutes, It is thought by the yi ictors that ho was attacked by wt amp or vertigo. His death ti, used the depost sorrow and uni- jin real gloom here. si Hle was one of the loading mon the State and had done much w( rd work for the State. He was to 7 a nxlliber of years a representa ,e and sonator from this county et d always took an active part in c th capacities. He was in his rt rty-second year. Further parti- al Lars can not be obtainod to-night. ti ie'funeral will probably be Mon- f, ty morning.
