C., August 12.—Mr. Quines (Jarney is quite sick at ins home. He has had un attack of fever. la.;-t Saturday quite a storm of wind, rain and ibunder passed over t hi* sect ion. The weather was get ting very dry before it came. I have just returned from a tfip to Trough Shoals, where I found every thing going on well. From conversa tion with many of the operatives, both male and f. male, I tind that the very best of feelings exist between I be employees and employers. 1 did not bear a single word spoken by any one li.at would convey the idea that the operatives are being imposed upon. They tel! me that if a family get >ick, or from other misfortune g« i behind with the company in mon ey matters they can gel assistance ami indulgence ns long as necessary ;■> work out. Some have been so un- fmVum.te as to get so far behind as to be hopelessly in debt, but by ro- mainir.g and showing a disposition to Clarence Chronicles.

Davis and daughter, Miss Curry, were visiting relatives in our section lust Saturday and Sunday. U. S. Deputy John Miller, of Spar tanburg, male another mid in our section last week alter moonshiners, but was again unsuccessful. Our people respect Mr. Miller very much for his gentlemanly conduct in the discharge of his olliciai duties. The fact is Mr. .Miller is <piit«; a gentle man himself and treats those with whom he comes in contact as gentle men until they arc proven to be other wise. Tom Howard and a .Mr. Cornel were waylaid and shot last Sunday a week ago near Classy Mountain, in what is known as the “dark corner,” but were- not dangerously wounded, although it was at iirst reported that Howard was killed.

Then for each ! voter who controls and pays taxes, j on three hundred or, at most, live j hundred, dollars of property, per- : sonal or real, let one additional vote j be cast. This plan will insure control of the j state government by the Anglo-Saxon race. The light box law lias served j its day. It was intended to meet an emergency, and was temporary. It will pass away. Incalculable evil has already resulted to our people in i many sections of the state from the way that the law has been enforced. I The gardian knot was cu] not untied. Today we face the situation anew. The Mississippi plan will not do. Too much power is thereby placed in the bands of a few men. The object is plain, not to practice justice, not to educate the people, not to elevate the citizen, hut to perpetuate tin- party in power without regard to qualifications. It is by might and by power. The Kennedy plan has engrafted on it a plan looking to the elevation of the great mass of the people. Xo sooner does a citizen acquire prop erty, especially if it be rsalty, and more especially if it bo in a home, than be become.* identified with law i and justice. The cause of tb * state is bis cause; he becomes a bettor cit izen and will more likely value the 1 voting privilege. There i* then an incentive to accu mulate property.
