Dial, a prominent hanker of his State. Mr. Shell succeeds Congressman Perry or the Fourth Dis trict. He was chairman or tho committee which conducted Tinman's campaign la i-1 Fall and is a mom bor or tho Furniers' Alliance. He has been prominont in State politics for many years, and for several terms has boon Clerk of (ho Court in I,aureus county. Ho told New York Times reporter that ho was Domocrat, notwithstanding that ho was a member of tho Farmors' Allianco. "The Alliance Is strong and is growing steadily," he said, ?'hut when It comos to polllios there are but two parties In South Carolin?, Domoorats and llopub lioan*. The whites are Democrats, tho culmcd men Republican;;. I am a far mer, and I was elected as such over an other Domoora?. whp was a lawyer and so not eligible to membership, But I shall vote as a Democrat. I do not on dorse all the principles of the Oosla plat form, "Senator Irby or South Carolina is member of the Allianco, but ho will vote with the Domoorats. He wouldn't vote for his brother for anything If ho | were not a Democrat. This rule will hold all through South Carolina, and, I believe, In Georgia and ejnowhoro in tho South. Tho Allianco will not break from the two great parties. It will grow and beofgrsat advantage to Uo snembBra. As between two oandidatos In tbo same party, one an Alliance man and tho other not, it would support Ha owu man probably, but that Is the oxtont to which It will go into polities.

The refreshing showers of a few nights previous, still retained in the hearts of Chestnut Ridge young farmers' sous and daughters that heartfelt thanks, glorious encour agement and ardent desire for pro gress which was so evident Satur day morning, as the sprightly teams and weighty baskets gather ed at their starting point, for a fishing picnic, and expression of another feature too tender for the writer to discuss. Our destination was Long Shoals, Reedy River, Which after a jolly ride of two hours was gained. Boon, boys were heard amidst the swamps selecting fish ing poles for self and partner. A smack of the hands, a moment of silence, a scream from some fair maiden's lips, a struggle of resis tence by cat and eel gave earnest warning to comrades still hidden by the doc p muddy water". At 1:80 P. M. with but slight signal the couples were seen promptly gath ering beneath a large, beautiful, but picturesque, beech whose shade falls near tho Shoals, and makes cool the unlimited excellences of Chestnut Ridge ladles noted char acteristlcs, that had been spread with unusual taste by our efficient chaperons upon a fresh white table cloth, that I assure you was soon much relieved of its burden, al though there still remained suffi cient for twice and half again such a party. Half an hour of necessa ry rest, then boat riding became tho feature. Familiar names of 1402 were called to mind as the crowd left shore for discoveries of imagi nary scenery "far across that great deep water" as some of the girls deemed it. While the boat turned round and round, being confused by those that steered it, the girls cried, "to the bank I? "to the bank I? and to the bank we got after so loug a time, and there remained until the ferryman volunteered to give a general ride up stream on his flat. After the first adventure the crowd was a bit timid, but was finally moved, being led by a little b?y who jumped on the boat and shou ted, "jump in the boat we are all < oing to float," and we all did pleasantly float until it was near time we should bid good evening to the place of short acquaintance, but immense impressions with some of us. Our return was even more jolly and some of us looked, felt and said good by in a way that makes fishing, picnics and accom paniments successful. Hunter. Long Branch.

After a long absence, which was unavoidable on our part, we again make our appearance, Since winter has gono and spring is here, it seems that everybody has gone to work with the deter mination to make up for lost time. And everybody seems to be satis fied with the cotton crop planted at this date. There are good stands of corn and the wheat crop is fine. Our young people are all antici pating a fine time at the anniver sary of the Clinton Sunday School which will be here In another week.
