In his dreary letter accepting the Re
publican nomination for the Presidency,
Mr. Blaine says that “’flic South needs
capital and occupation, not controversy.’'
If he will scud a liberal contribution of
liis ten millions to the Democratic catu-
jwigu fund it will be “occupied” and no
controveray made about it, but as long ot
the South pays 2."> per cerrt. iutcrect on
Northern capital and nil Federal offices

troversy and a heap of it.
We hate before urt n circular from the
“Headquarters of the Black villo Democ
racy,” dated lIHh July, 1884, from
whuh wc loam that Gov. Thomas.it,
Licut.-Uov. Sheppard and other distiu-
guished gentlflBcn have been invited to
address tha Blackvillc, Spur Braueh,
Double Pond, Milhous Mill and Geotgc’a
Creek Democratie clubs at IRackville on
the 2ud of August,
The meetings appointed by tho Coun-
ty Democratic Executive Committee pre
cedent to tlu> primary election were in
tended to offer to the county candidates
opportunities to address the people upon
the issMS of the day and to present their
claims for suppor^and preferment.
Under the circumstances of the situa
tion the presence of the gentlemen above
rcfcirod to would be inappropriate and it
is to b6 hoped that previous engagements
will preveut their attendance. At a later
date, when our piimury election Ls over
and our candidates are in (lie tic Id urn
all u> peace in our political family tltoy
whl be welcome, but until that time their
room will be more ucccptubltf than their
oompauy. And in so saying wo intend
no disrespect to (ho gentlemen who have
been invited and no reflection upon the
authority that issued the invitations, but
simply voice the public desire to give
our local candidates * lair hearing rather
than to bear the best stomp speaktis in
the Utatc air their eloquence.

We hare briefly alluded to ^he Dem

and particularly strong iu that poition

escape from the next brntnl hero that
came along. But about midnight they
were aroused with smothered voices at
the wipdow’ and friendly greetings from
familiar faces, for a friend in need from
Madison had heard of their perils on the
wings of the wind, nud scutjja carriage
and a wagon after them, and so they
were hurried on with bag and baggage
and about sunrise arrived at his hospita
ble home. A friend in need is a friend
indeed. A thousand times have I
thought of that act of disinterested kind
ness, and wondered at it, for it was a
perilous thing to do in perilous times,
when tile fowl invader was only too hap-
py to capture good t4ock, and a horse or
a mule was worth nearly his weight in
Confederate money. That one deed yf
kindness stamped Kugene Harris as u
nbble, large hearted man nnd a friend in
heed. I shall always love him. In a
few days I found my lost family at his
house, and we thought the raiders had
left the country nnd felt secure ; but one

Our folks were two miles in the country,

alone, fenmc to the door and saluted
them, and said : ^Certainly, gentlemen,
you shall have water. Do yon think
theie is any danger of tha Yankees com
ing this way?” They laughed and told
her they were Yankees, and she quietly
rcmaiked: “Well,you seem to net like
gentlemen n*rd this plcnsed them ftfid
they said, “Some of ur arc. madnuic, I
hope," and thanking her for the water

Were gcntlefnen, and alt ruin wc respect.
I recalled the few succeeding days when
Harris and Jod Abbott Billups aim! I
'and two or three friends hid out the
lies and the horses in d cauehrakc nnd
them at night, and hid ourselves out
lu a pine thicket iu sight of the horses
and played ckrds on the ground and eat
melons arid told stories to pass awny iho
time, and had signals of peace and war
and distress arranged with our wives, so
that wo could act On emergencies. I ro>'
member how two straggbng soldiers
found the mules one day and rtfdc two of
them up to the front gate, and Mrs.
Harris detained them in pleasant con
versation until we could get there, and
j how Eugene was furiously and reckless
ly mad *nd slipping round to the back
door, got two double barrcl’cd guns and
giving me one of them Ire rushed franti
cally np to the robbers and shoving the
muzzle into oue’s face ordered him to
dismount, nnd hejnstfell off quick on

The allusion to the relations of the
Republican party to Ae colored voter is

the legion in terror ami alarmed the set

the universal cry was “toarig*, to arms,

after, half a dozer. Yankee cavalry were
seen away down the road galloping furi
ously aloug in their blue clothes about
sun down, and anoihc r alarm was bent
and our battery was ordered to charge
down to (Juinn's ferry and wo charged
nnd pkinted our guns upon the bauk and
waited for the fowl invader to come. But
he didn’t come, Aud we soon found out
that the Yankee horsemen were Jeff
Johnson and Bill Arp and a few more of
their sort hunting mischief. I, remem
ber that the legion had 800 fighting men
and 1200 quartermasters and'eommissn-
lies, who were instructed to scour the
country in search of forage and vittols,
«nd they scoured. Eugene Harris aud
Oliver Stilwcll were in my ines* and
when old mail Lewis came into camp one

Burnett told him he hadu't seen ’em,
and didn’t know anything about ’em •
but nil he did know was lint Htilwell,

Bill Arp on the Cotton PicEkb.—
I was ruminating over tola new mode
of picking cotton, and to my mind it Is
going to work a revolution In our farm
ing. In the filet place a poor man
can’t buy one. In the next place he
eatn’t afford to give fifty cent# a hun
dred for picking when hia neighbor,
who baa got a machine can pick hia for
ten cents a, hundred or Baa. Theh
again the machine wont work veil on
rough or hilly land, and bo that kind
of itrtd Wifi have tot be planted do
aomeihlng else. - t
80 I take it that podr folk/knd poor
land will have to quit cotton, and that
will be a blessing. 1 It may bh however,
that some enterprising fetters wffi buy
a machine and go abotit lo the settle
meot picking for thh farmera just like
they go about now threshing, their
wheat. What wlfr heaome of the nig
ger vonren and dWJd/ea lq coUoq Ume
