Yester day the Hut couldn’t run at all. Rev. \V. 11. Owens preached two very able and convicting sermons at Salem yesterday. His forenoon text was “.Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts”—Zach. 4. <i. In the after noon his text wus, “What tneancth thou this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the ox en which I hear”—I Samuel 15; 14. For satisfactory reasons the pro truded meeting at Salem has been put oil. It will begin on Wednesday September 4th. A protracted meeting began at Wilson’s Chapel yesterday. It will perhaps continue several days. Some people art so badly afilicted with pcssemistic mania that they they can’t see anything except “uxe- grinding” in the sayings, doings and writing of other men. They are ob jects of pity rather than contempt. Children’s day at Salem was a de cided success, so far as the work was concerned. A very large congrega tion attended and the house was filled to overflowing with tho representa tive love, purity, beauty, intelligence and virtue of four counties. Not more than one-lmlf of the people could get inside of the house. At 10 o’clock the children were formed in line by J. W. Brown, mar shal. The following Sabbath schools were reported: Hopewell, Broad River, Academy, Mt. Vernon, Hicko ry Drove, Shady Grove, Bullock’s Creek’ Good’s School House, Unity, from the York side of the rivei, to gether a number of schools from the Cherokee side including some from Union. At the head of the column the Salem Sunday school banner was borne by one of its members. Imme diately following it W'::s the United States Hag. and about the center of the column the Sunday school Hag— i on one aide of which in large red letters was “Bethlehem and Calvary; i on the other side “Aemember me.” I The Cli'ldren were marched and | counter-marched to music by the ! Antioch hand which hud taken its position in the church yard. After the column was haite l at the door of the church the hand went inside and played “Nearer my God to Thee,” us the children murened into the house and took »!ie position in front of tbc the kind, and 1 have only this to say, by way of parenthesis, that the man who is in possession of such facts and is too cowardly to express them, is too mean to live among a patriotic people, and the officers of the law who are too cowardly to execute the law in such cases, ought to be brand ed as a poltroon, and dismissed from the service and prosecuted to the ex tent of the law besides. When de cent and respectable women and chil dren are to be annoyed by the dis graceful presence, and conduct of drunk men on such occasions, 'tis time for the men of our country to down and out. It is in no spirit of bigotry that I make this assertion. It is one that applies to all such cases, and any one whom “the shirt fils can put it on and wear it, myself no exception to the rule. As a consequence of the disorderly conduct reported at Salem on Chil dren’s day, the young people of this neighborhood have withdrawn their appointment for a picnic at Thomp son’s mill on the 7th instant, simply to prevent a repetition of the same disgraceful conduct. Some peoble are so modest that they pretend to think that these mat ters are not material for a newspaper correspondent, but in the ger.sral judgment of men and women they are, and it would be perfectly right to give the names of the parties who would have un opportunity to exon erate themselves or bear the conse quences of public contempt and so cial ostracism. The weather is extremely dry, aud crops are suffering for want of rain. In the upper section of this town ship the crop reports are more unfa vorable.

After the meeting I one of the men supposed to be re ferred to, cailed at The Ilorald office and said: If Irby was referring to Hie three of us who came from Lau rens, you can tell him this is not the first time we have come to Spartan burg to work for candidates. Last year we all came to work for Evans and we worked for him and the State of South Carolina paid us for it. This year we are doing all we can to show John Irby up in his true colors, but the State is not paying us. We are footing our own bills and exercising our rights as American citizens to go where wo like and say what we think.” In justice to Candidate Mayfield it must he said that ho made a fairly good presentation of his case, but ob servant men in the audience could not help thinking what an awful pre dicament he is in. In the earlier part of the campaign he desired to attract attention to himself by jump ing upon Govenor Ellerbe who was absent. The Govenor did not notice him and thus encouraged he became bolder, until thinking to make a ten strike he charged tho Governor with double-dealing and said he had the proofs. The Governor was silent no longer. When it was merely the statement of a discredited and dis gruntled politician he ignored the charges, but when the fellow talked about proofs Mr. Ellerbe simply call ed him down. Hu uokeu for the doc uments. He called for tho proofs, and Mayfield slinked off like a whip ped cur. and has not mentioned “proofs” since. The thinking men of the State are bound to say in view of these facts, that when Mayfield said he had proofs, he was mistaken— that he has wilfully traduced a good man for personal gain. The burden of Col. Irby’s song was that he is the friend and champion of the poor man, Was he championing the poor man’s cause when he drove up with bullies at his back .-o the borne of a quiet, inoffensive citizen of Laurens, Mr. Chesterfield McDaniel, and slapping his fists in his face proclaimed that he was no “dunghill,” hut a “game coca?” The people of Laurens coun ty did not seem to think so, for they immediately sent Mr. McDaniel to the legislature, putting him in on tho first ballot. Was it evidence of friendship for the poor mati that prompted Irby to go to the home of an aged citizen, Mr. Roger Brown, a man with one foot almost in the grave, a man who had done no injury to anybody in hib long and honorable life, and rubbed a rock in hir face while he cursed him? \\'hu1 <»vi<ien<*(* of fnei'ilsh'M f< fth r > poor aou u.sucsseu is luere in Mie met that on overiuKlog Henry Alli son, an inoffensive hut entirely re spectable while man walking along a hitiiuj r<j..u 11' hois* vvluppi-'U iiiio fur 1 no cause?

But knowing the; facts, all of which can be substantiat ed by affidavits from reliable men, we wouki bo recreant to our trust us an honest newspaper, to remain si lent. If, after knowing him as we krow him, the people of South Caro lina desire his election, that is their affair. The Spartanburg meeting which the friends of Irby hoped would turn the tide in Irby’s favor, certainly lost him many votes. Such bully ragging and browbeating as the com bination of candidates gave McLuu- rin, coupled with the unfairness of the charges and the injustice of re quiring him in one hour to rooly to three hours of vile abuse, excited a sympathy and maole even his luke warm friends feel like pulling their coals and going to work. Editor Bose ('rows, of Laurens, who about a month ago was shouting for McLauriu, praising his tariff po sition. telling how unjust were the assaults upon him for it, and de nouncing Irby in almost indecent terms, was present at the meeting confabbing with Irby, ready to go home to grind out all sorts of misrep resentations. What a pity that a man made in the image of God, en dowed with tho faculty of reason and realizing that he is responsible for his acts, should sink so law as to wilfully viilify and abuse one he knows to be in the right, for the benefit of one he knows to be unworthy of support. We have heretofore had occasion to remark that the men who are im pugning McLaurin’s democracy, have not themselves the clearest demo cratic titles. Now here comes poor old A. B. Williams from his seat in the sanctum of tho mugwump New York Times, advising the people oi South Carolina, in u letter to the Greenville News, not to vote for Me- Lauria—that Irby is the best man. The people of South Carolina have fresh upon them the advice of Mr. William to vote for Palmer it Buck ner or even McKinley in preference to the regular democratic candidate. They remember his prediction, how milk and honey would flow in this State with the general revival of bu siness that would attend tho restora tion of “confidence,” and the elec tion of a “sound money” candidate, if Mr. Williams was right in his pre dictions then, he may be entitled to advise South Carolina democrats now. But no man who voted for McKinley or the bobtails has the right to ques tion the democracy of otiiers. Hav ing voluntarily withdrawn from the democratic party with his removal to New York, he can speak with author ity only to bob-tails, the Palmer and Bucknerites. A. B. Williams has too much sense to think that Irby is in any way Mel/turin's equal. He thinks that McLaurin is a more pro- nouced believer In the Chicago plat form, and hence desires his defeat. It is becoming more evident every day that the tight against McLutiriii i-i unfair oMin’o* end ibshorvirublc. 1 here was not any apparent lundslde to Palmer and Buckner on Mr. Wil liams’ advice last fall, and he will have a haul time convincing the peo ple ill mi-, kuate i hat the auiuor aim finisher of tie* Colleton plan, which practically disfranchised nearly half ihu Votk/s ia Hie [if iiiitry and luaite John Gary Evans governo uurling he has painted him.

The machine was out 47 days, traveled lit!) miles, was set 105 times, and threshed the following. Oats, 44,- 8'JO bushels; wheat, 5,763; barley, I, 437; millet. 11!); rye. 41; canoseed, II. Total 52,270 bushels of grain. We also notice a shipment of 500 bushels La Conte pears from Fart Or chard. Texas, to Kansas City, Mo. We are now in the midst of some of the warmest weather that we have experienced this season. The farm ers who work in the fields all day do not suffer from sunstroke, are never prostrated by heat, and put in usu ally twelve hours a day on their crops. While old sol is trying to break the top of the thermomer a de lightful breeze sweeps across the fields and fans the workman’s brow. The heat is there, however,, and the cotton, which thrives nnder the sun’s burning kisses grows rapidly. The enemies of cotton, however, do not fwru so well. Weeds are plowed up and die, and tho nutriment -upon which they have nourished is divert ed to tne cotton plant. Insects and boll worm also, cannot stand the hot sun, and never get in their work un less there is an over abundance of cool, wet weather in mid summer. So a summer day in Texas, whore the lisping winds are never idle, is not such a bad thing after allj After a farmer has put in u long day in the sunshine he goes home tired.. He partakes of his evening meal and then finishes up the day’s work around the house. By this time the mercury is falling rapidly, while the sun burnishes the western clouds with silver purple and gold. As the twilight shadows fall the Southern breeze increases its pace and fans the trees Into a rustling melody. Then the stars come forth and the dark ness is universal with flashes of light, the mocking bird sings and the si lence is shivered into atoms of song. At 9 o’clock the candles are extin guished, the temperature is below 80, and the farmers household embrace the angel of slumber. While they sleep the winds become cooler, the night songs more melodious and tho atmosphere sweeter with the perfume of daisy-spangled meadows, when tho rooster crows for midnight the tem perature is down to 66, and it is now necessary to get under a blanket to keep from shivering. The variation of nS degrees in the temperature of a summer day is the glory of the Texas climate. The cool nights are so re freshing that one gathers all the needed vigor enough for the succeed ing day. There is no such country on earth as this grand, gorgeous, in finitely versatile anil invincibly youthful old commonwealth, and its climates are the glory of this land. As in summer, so in winter.
