And now,Jimmie, will you be good? * * * * The leopard candidate was lost in the jungle. * * * * Gentlemen of South Carolina, we take oft our hat to you. * * * * Crocodile tears are not often mis taken for the genuine article. * * * * The Fifth District endorses Mr. Finley by returning him on the first ballot. * * * ¥ There are a good many disappointed office seekers, but the boys are hold ing up pretty well. Having chopped out the crop to two in a hill, on next Tuesday week we will proceed to lay-by. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Cherokee county is classed as one of the babies, but we are freemen and no political boss carries the vote in his vest pocket, as yet. * * ¥ * One thousand seven hundred and seventeen Cherokeeans endorse our stand against debauchery for public office. VVe are proud of the endorse ment. * * ¥ * We extend the glad hand to those who were defeated—even Jimmie— while our sympathy goes out to the victors, for their trials have just begun. * * * * Col. W. D. Camp was honored with the largest vote ever cast in Cherokee, 1831, and this notwithstanding the fact that he had two bright and hon orable young opponents. ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ Our faith in theunanhood of Chero kee is still unshaken, and we do not believe a majority of the people of Cherokee are prepared to vote for liars, gamblers, drunkards, embezzlers and blasphemers. ♦ ♦ ♦ Now let us turn our attention to the everyday affairs of life—this stren- ous life is too much. A season of politics is a good thing, especially when honor and trutii and manhood carry the day, but we must now give our attention to more material mat ters. ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ One thousand seven hundred and seventeen Cherokeeans voted against Jim Tillman while 703 voted for him, giving a combined majority of 1011 against Jimmie. This did mighty well considering the fact, that witnesses against Jim v ho reside in this county refused to testify against him when called on to do so. ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ That was a jolly, good natured crowd that watched Thu Ledger’s bulletin board Tuesday night, and we couldn’t help but admire the devo tion of the fellow who continued to defy us hy hurrahing for Jim Tillman every time a vote was marked up for him. He was true blue and full of grit—to say nothing of anything else. , Card of Ttiuiikn. I desire to publicly express my appreciation of the vote given me in the recent primary. 1 realized in the beginning! that^nay opponents were strong men and that if 1 accom plished, ttnything|it;would be to my credit. Although I go down in de feat I feel I have been highly honored by those who complimented me with their votes, and.fl thank them each and all from the depths of my heart. Respectfully, Geo. W. Drown. Most men would rather borrow than be caught begging or stealing. Hot water is supplied from well direct to and offices in Boise, Ida. A model husband is one who isn’t oatterned after a model.

An opportunity of a lifetime is often merely a chance to say “no.” CROP BULLETIN. Condition of Cnrollnn Crop* Aft Reported by Department of Agriculture. Columbia, 8. C., Aug. 26th.—The temperature was abnormally high during the first, and decidedly cool during the second half of the week ending Monday, Augsust 25, with an average of 78 degrees, a maximnm of 101 degrees at Anderson on the 20th, Blackvilie and Longabore on the 21st, and a minimum of 59 degrees at Cht- raw and Spartanburg on the 18tu. Damaging hail occurred in Anderson, Greenville and Newberry counties, ac companied by destructive high winds, but the injury to crops was confined to limited areas. There was more than a normal amount of sunshine during the first of the week, followed successively by much cloudiness and then clear weather. Quite general rains fell on the 17th, too late to be reported for last week’s bulletin, and scattered showers occur red on the 20th, 21st, 22nd and 23rd, the latter nearly general over the greater portion of the State. Some points continue to stand in need of rain, but generally the ground has sufficient moisture for the present need of crops. In places the rain in terfered with current farmwork, but on the whole it was beneficial to growing crops. Late corn continues to make good progress, and with limited exceptions promises fair yield. Bottom land corn is very fine. Cotton failed to share fully iu the general improvement of growing crops due largely to the spread of rust that stopped further growth, and caused shedding and premature opening, al though on clayey soils there is a new growth that continues to bloom and truit. The outlook for a large top crop is not promising, except on low spots where there has been plenty of moisture throughout the season. On sandy uplands the plants have put on ali the fruit they will do, and are now dying. Cotton is opening rap idly over the whole State. Some cor respondents report nearly half the boils open. Picking is actively under way in all sections, but showers and extreme heat interfered at times with this work. In places open cotton was damaged by the heavy rains and high winds. The crop ranges from poor to very good; and this diversity iu con dition exists in all portions of the State, and even in the same town ships. The season as a whole is ear lier than the average. Peas, sweet potatoes and corn im proved. Rice is ripening, and har vest has begun in a small way. Beaverdam Lacoulcii. The farmers are taking up their farm work again. Fodder pulling is the order of the day. Cotton is open ing very rapidly, consequently an early picking is anticipated. Corn and cotton have been damaged to some extent by the hard winds, the cam is down in a number of places. An ordination of deacons was held at Beaverdam 1 ist Sunday. The fol- lownig were ordained: Willie T. Davidson, H. 8. Mullins, H. E. Tin dall, It. M. Huskey and W. F. Vassy The Presbytery was composed of members from White Plains, Corinth. Sandy Springs and Brannon chuchee. The election passed very orderly and quietly. A large number voted. The voters were pretty well divided among the candidates, all receiving some votes. A lively time is antici pated in the second primary, we trust that love of country and the state pride of our citizens wili^ urge them to increased efforts in the province of political decency. We hear un bounded confidence in the intelli gence and patriotism of the people of South Carolina, and we believe they are not going to submit to tbe grim dictum of fate that has decreed that other than an honest, upright and progressive citizen shall be elected to any office in this state. The “ohool at Beaverdam will close next Friday. The term has been a short one, but it has not been with out its practical efforts, Mr. Jas. P. Cooley, of ^ Spartanburg, has con ducted the echoed.

A Cherokee Gallant Makes Merry With * the Mahla. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Etta Jane, Aug. 27. — The writer has just* returned from a visit to friends in Chester county, where we spent some very pleasant moments with the good people of the Arme- uia and Chapel neighborhoods. Going down on Friday we came home on the following: Monday. The first thing to which we were invited was an ice-cream supper given at the home of a Mr. Hill. At this home at an early hour the gay youngsters came and lingered till a late hour. AH hearts seemed loath to leave this place. But all taken iu all the evening was a grand success. The next thing booked was an evening party at Mr. Abel Brown’s. Here we saw again the light hearted gayety of youth as it displayed itself in th 1 beautiful young ladies who came to participate in the enjoyment of the evening. All nature seemed to give life to the occas ion, while teiu'ifil women came gowned in spotless white that looked as beautiful as the aurora itself, and gallant men stood waiting till Cupid’s darts came to usher them in to the bliss of a lover’s noonday sun. Music and laughter could be heard until a late hour, when all left for home feeling that ano her pleasant time had been spent iu the hospitality of that home—to sleep and go to the land of dreams. So when we started away from Armenia for ho e v e would like to have lingered for a lew more days but could not. The election nassed off all right yesterday at the Wilkinsville pre cinct.
