"Dear Friend-I presume lt is use

you the necessity of getting ull our
friends to attend their club meetingj,
whleh will be held on the fourth Sat

organization. If our friends stay at
home and let our opponents control
the club meetings, our oponents will
elect tho delegates to tho county con

"This fight lins been made lu the f
general assembly recently, and the t
unly reason that such a measure did t
not become law was because all of the 1
members of the general assembly t
knew that 1 would veto it, and that I <
bad friends enough to veto Its pas- t
sage and they were afraid of odium t
that would be cast upon them. and;r
afraid that lt would be said that to
pot such a law upon the people and
that only by the veto power was lt
kept off, the House, which was against
us, was foolish enough to go on re
cord as favoring such a measure, any
way.
"Noa*. I cannot make this fight alone
and I think it will be admitted that
I have done my part. My friends must
be up and doing and help themselves,
and I beg you to get our friends to
the club meetings; to talk to our
frelbds who belong to other clubs;
talk all around, and get busy and do
something, for now ls the time.
"Do not walt until we are defeated,
and then say, "Oh, 1 forgot tha day. or
I could have done so ?nd so."
"Do lt now.
"Remember, this Is no personal fight
Df mine; lt ls the' peoples' fight; it is

"The defeat of any man would be
of small consequence, but the captur

crowd will be no small matter.
"If I could get the newspapers to
publish this lotter, lt would save rae
some trouble and .expense; but you .
know they wili not publish anything

* FROM AN OLD
TOO Ii ATE
I certainly have worked hard since
Christmas. Wheo Besa married last
November. I said to my friend that nil
my spare nights for the next ?Ix
six months should go toward buy
ing some new clothes-I mean fine
new clothes-I hadn't lino any real
nice things to wea? since William, waa
a baby, and to tel* the truth I have
had as little of any kind aa a woman
could make out un, but with twelve
ibables I bad .mn ? little time IO
dre?* In that if i uvtd plenty dori.en
I \.< uld haw? bad n > time n put 'Ju in
on, and there was more than tula
lacking for wbero Iber? are one dozen
'.i.ildren you won't lind much else, and
'here were not mu-.h tlse for me but
the babies, but with thia hindrance,
I always considered myself lucky, for
my children were the smartest chil
d-en in the world the boy's were
men when they put their first panta
on; they were then ready to begin a
fight for existence, and they baa
tened with the struggle, took it aa
their part of life and today they still
hold on, while the boys were having
their row I had all I could do, whore
?here la a big family and pot much
?means the mother must*keep busy and
do without everything but bare neces
sities, all this J tried to do willingly,
but trying to be good over it, never
jkept me from wanting things, and ]
{some how the last ten years I have
wanted some nice clothes awfully bad.
I suppose the reason for this was that
I saw myself getting old, and .11 I
didn't get the nice pretty things aeon,
il would be too old to appreciate them,
loo old to go about and let'folks look I
lat me, you know I can't show off
[clothes to an advantage when I get
Iso feeble 1 will , have io vrovp, ?nd1
now does a fine dress look on an
'old woman stooped all Over, with
?her nose and toes together? Of course
If I don't get the clothes before I get
past going there will be no need to
get them at all, and I've been feel
ing the last two or three years that
any little old thing would put me
pass going, but now that spring has
come, I did hopo to feel better and aa
I said before I began saving my pen
nes! when Bess married to buy .some
fine clothes. I decided a few weeks
ago that I had better speak to a dress
maker, and called up a milliner, and
hunt up the best shoe store and begin
my shopping. Of course I felt nure the
Emanta here had every thing I
ed, but you know lt stands,yon in
to dp tho best you can, and I
?nt to. get samples and prices, and
e slow and sure, I can't buy fer
r elf like I use to buy for Bess, sho
always bought without pricing and I
laid for it the best I could, but now
that 1 am to do both 1, gp mightly
.avifious, and I did caution and econ
omize and-priced goods and studied t
>ver it a longtime belora I. wpuld ??fe
tie down on It, but yon. know If you
set fine things you've got to pay for
them, so I went a bead and bought
inc a dress worth a dollar a yard,
ind a Ave dollar hgt. add a three dol
lar pair shoes, and ? pair ot kid
gloves worth a dollar, bought every
thing! I needed and thom fine enough!

want him here, I wrote to htm if he
would come back Imbuid get him a
place on a delivery wagon, carry groC
eries around, and I could ride with
him in the afternoons ?when I was
resting, ? but ? w?sn pe would come,
and if he doesn't Uko'-riding on a

there will be plenty cotton to hoe,
nsd we cn?? mn ta the L country, go
every morning early, I knowhow Jack
hates to get up soon, but. I wouldn't
wake him till I had cooked breakfast,
and the-dinner too, I was just think
ing today what a good 'dinner would
carry to the field,, ^bolled eggs, and
fried, pies and good biscuit, and a
package of chowing gum; I'm going to
write all this to bim, of course this
wouldn't induce some boys to come
home, but Jack loves.home, mr s.than
this ho loves bia little; old. mother, and
he has said many-timea he never in
tended leaving me,r that I would be
tho one to .leavof..bimyvii;He knew It
would take death to do lt, nothing
but leaving earth fori eternity* could
tear me from him, but-Jack must live
by the sweat of h?*-"brow and he ls
caro anything for my new clothes,
they have come too late and I wish
they were back lu tho store or I could
exchange thom for a ticket to OaCney.

Questioned the Legality,.
Of Some
Editor The Intelligencer:
In your Issue of April 1, under the
head "Mr. McLaurln's Platform," yeo
make a statement which I am satiated
you were led Into through. misappre
hension, the sUtement being: "Sena
tor McLaurln has .the field alone on
the warehouse proposition, Ke ls
the originator and. champion of his
bill once made a law over the govern
ors veto, and the governors objection
was later sustained loy the courts."
The error In the statement is in the
Words "once made a law over tho
governor's veto." I suppose you were
misled by reason of the. fact that when
the governor approved Ahe warehouse
bill Ue sent a special message to the
general assembly, copy of which I in
close you. As a matter of fact, the
governor did not veto the bill, but apr
proved it Hir view of the bill, how
ever, was later sustained by the Su
preme Court when the test was made.
Cole L. Blease. "'
Col umbla, S. C., April 4.
IFollowing r?.tt?e^yftpm
message ot the governor to the. gener
al'assembly under date of Feb 2lBt,
1813, approving the;warehouse bill:
Gentlemen: I beg to Inform your
honorable bodies that I have approved
the act entitled, "Aa act to create and
operate-* state warehouse system ???
storing cotton .and ewer wnbdltlea."1
After, a careful and as thoughtful
consideration ca I can give this a .,-t
have serious and stave doubt of its
constitutionality or that it prove as
effective as it ls thought; but, in view
of the decided opinion, aa expressed
by the large number of your bodies
voting for lt, I deem lt proper to
Waive my view? as to its dou.btfUt,coh
stltutionallty abd effectiveness to give
the relief to end promote the good .ot
our cotton industry'and hope that it
may be the means of saving the far
mers of this state' from the evils; and
wrongs which'the speculators in our
largest staple crop have done, as well
as the injury which menaces 'hem
from the. cotton mill mergers in our
state, which has been formed within
Ithe last year, and which are still go*
lng on. It may, I trust; also be the
ruinent io the bands of the farui<
to relieve them from tho oppres
>n which they have endured from
.allowance of the existence ef-cer
monopolias, trusts. and; corcblha*
tiens, not only at the north, but tn bur
>wn state.
lt, it should p-ove to he sufficient to
ipvreas cr prevent these operations
ad wrongs committed' egaiast our
ecole lt will b? welcomed by the
?bole .people''SS1 a glorious aceom
itltshment ' and the wisest legislation.
Aa the future conduct and operation
tho system - just Inaugurated WiH
tost vitally affect tho welfare and
edition of the state, it ts but proper
tt I suggest to you that in the se
lleotlon of the commissioner* to corry
mt thia work that there should b an
?votdance from making any one a
amber of such commission who
?hotos any stock in any of the.milla
sow merged, consolidated or combined
rttn other mills of thia state or who
?may bp otherwise interested in such
combination or merger or who has
ay stock ot financial interest or en
Igaged in any allied corporation which
is or may be likely to affet, } ts duty
to the public and which will piece him
nu dor any Influence tn im lest to the
farmers of the state In advancing or
mlntatning the price of cotton, lt
Iseems to me to ba most appropriate
land , wise that three mes who are cot
|toa planters and receive their living
from this source should be selected and
who are free from expectation of poli
tical advancement or financial gain
outside or the success of the business
intrusted to their care ; for thia la a
sat experiment we are entering no
rn. lt it.fails it w?it prove a heavy
low: to the farmera ot the state and
