He was buried on Thursday at Now Harmony church. Tho funeral sermon was preached by tho Rev. Mr. Cralg. Mr. Powor was a prominent citizen and the funorol was probably the largost ovor witnessed in that section.?Oreenvillc News. This valuable citizen will be groatly missed by his neighborhood, bis church and in fact by bis entire county. His family havo tho sympathy of a wide re lationship and a largo circle of iriends. Next Friday, l'lid "v next, is a fateful day to three young colorod men, sentenced to bo bung in tho jail yard of the county, all of whom will no doubt bo oxeouted.

They now deny their guilt and say they wero frlghtonod into tho fatal admissions upon which thoy woro convicted. Thoy had a trial by an Im partial jury of more than ayorago intel ligence. Thorohas boon no eflort to so euro tho interference of Gov. Tillman. John Ferguson a young colored man of this town was sentenced for the mur der ol his wifo In Marob last by cutting bor throat. It was a bloody business. Tho duod was dono in broad day light. Ho escaped to tho woods, but returnod nt 2 n. in., and surrendorod to tho Sheriff. An effort was made to show that ho was opileetic and irresponsible, since his conviction application has boon made to Gov, Tillman to commute the sentence. Tho papers wore rotorred to Judge Wal lace and Solicitor Schumpert who ro port unfavorably upon tho petition. Thoro is littlo probability of oxocutive interposition and he will no doubt bo oxoeutod on tho day fixed. > White and colorod ministers havo ministoted to these unfortunates.

A disastrous storm struck Now York and Brooklyn on the night of the 23rd lost., causing loss of lifo and considerable damage to prop erty. A Country man at the Fair. Were It In my power I would add another degree of comparison to adjectives before attempting to toll the Advkbti8KK's readers any thing about this town and its show. Everything here is immense ex cept prices, and the latter strike me as wonderfully low. One can come here and live frugally on as little as he can get board at at a decent hotel in South Carolina. By "frugally" I mean that the so Journer must content himself with two square meals and a lunch per day and a comfortable room shared with a friend, freo baths and good attention included. All this may bo had at from two to two and a half dollars a day. Our party arrived Saturday P. M. after being on the road forty-eight hours. We were delayed at Aslie vllle, Knoxville and in a patch of woods some where down in Ken lucky. The gang enjoyed the trip though and all boys and girls too wore in elegant trim when they struck the town. It is out of the question for one to write a sensible lottor after a day's work doing the fair. My advice to my friends is that they come up hero if they can, but for a couple of weeks before leaving homo they should "go into train ing." They should habituate them selves to walking fifteen or twenty miles every morning for a while and then they can hope to prome nade through the interminable aisles of a . building which covers as much ground as a mule can cul tivate without becoming agoniz ingly tired. Those who have three months to see the fair in may un dertake it leisurely but the unplu tocratic citizen to whom time is cash must go in a gallop if he wishes to get a blrd's-oyo view of the exhibits within a fortnight. The city of Chicago is decidedly handsome. There is n o t Ii i n g crowded about it except the cable cars and ono can forgivo them, they are so accommodating and hospitable. I think that if one of the famous tall buildings here should topple over some of the bricks would be liable to fall on the opposite side of Lake Michigan. I have not had the pleasure of soelng a mule since my arrival. Every now and then one has a flit ting glance at a darkey, but not often. Thero is no crowd in attendance at the fair grounds, but there are swarms and herds and droves, myriads, millions, armies and hosts of folks. Room is too plentiful though for a crowd to congregate. I spent to-day in the Agricultu ral, and Manufacturers and Libe ral Arts buildings. The most strik ing thing I saw w?8 the evMVit of the "Royal Porcelain Works of Berlin." B. Annual Stock Show. Pursuant to a call tho Graycourt citi izens and others mot this P. M., 21st inst., to consider the holding of their an nual Stock Show.. Dr. J. Ii. Culbertson was elected President, Dr. A. J. Christo pher Vice-President, and Rev. J. M. Fridy, Secretary. A'largo crowd was present, and after sonic discussion unanimously decided to hold their third annual Stock Show at Graycourt on tho 22d of September, 1893. Thero was considerable enthusiasm and an expressed determination to make tliis the most successful of any yet hold. This will bo done, for the desiro is not only to make it a credit to Graycourt, but to the County. Thero aro many fine colts, last year's and this year's, from Mr. J. P. Gray's famous horse "Chance To Be," which will bo on exhibit. Some of these are especially fine. There is every promise that the exhibit in each department will bo largely increased and well selected this year. "We urge everybody, without respect to person or locality, to bring ev erything they can for any or all the de partments. Everything will be done by tho Directors of tho Association to make tho day profitable and pleasant to the public generally, to which a cordial invi tation is extended. The President appointed tho following committee to solicit exhibits. Dr. A. J. Christopher, Chairman, W. C. Colomnn, John M. Gray, R. P. Mi lam, Dr. J. R. Fowler, W. J. Barksdale, Evans McDaniel, jr., J. I). W. Watts, J. Roland Willis, J. G. Sullivan, J. L. Hop kins, W. P. Medlock, George P. Woods, Virgila White and I'erry Thompson. The following were appointed to su perintend the different departments. General Superintendent, J. T. Peden ; Horse Department, J. P. Gray, Cattle Department, W. P. Harris; Poultry De partment, J. D.

Walter Bridges, Athens, Tenn., writes: "For six years I had been afflicted with running ;>ores, and an enlargement of the bone in my leg.

Tho Facetious Young1 Man Turned Down. Ho was a very facetious young man, and ho was showing a bright young woman, upon whom his af fections woro lavishing themselves, through a chair-factory that was the principal and most intorosting industry of tho town. The courte ous attendantexplained ovorything to them, when tho facetious young man, desirous of showing how face tious ho could be when ho tried, pointing to a canc-bottomcd chair, asked. "And whore do you get the holes ?" "Oh, we buy those from tho In dians," replied the nttondunt; and ho was much pleased, as the face tious young man was not, to hear the young woman giggle. "Ah, indeed?" said tho funny man, superciliously. "Of what In dians, pray?" "Diggers," replied the attendant, meekly. From the "Editor's Drawer," in Harper's Magazine for September.

Editor Advertiser: In South Carolina tbo average man Is Insulted and wants to il lustrate his manhood and fight somebody who challenges his title to be called a democrat. "They manage things hotter in France/' and so they do in Georgia. This pugilistic tendency certainly im plies a compliment to the old party, orgauized by tho grandfathers of some of us. Now and thon you meet with a paper or a gentleman, who was a furious whig or had hud kin close to tho republican)} who wants to commit murder or suicido If his title to bo called a democrat is called in question. Ask him to define a democrat, or give tho creed of the party past or present and he is as apt upon it as he would be upon tho philosophy of Plato or (ho tenets of Zeno. But he wants to fight; in South Carolina, his leaders have gobbled up tho naino and title; as it were, havo ?'sorter" squatted upon democratic territory, seized upon the offices and the or ganization and find it convenient and profitable to swing to thenamo because Cleveland is President and has patronage by that namo. Thus in Marcli last wo beheld tho hu miliating spectacle of a South Car olina Senator going before a cabi net officer and debating for hours that ho was a South Carolina dem ocrat; he was the organized dem ocracy; ho and his friends wero the owners of that well because (hoy had possession. At the same timo he and his party had gono into oil ico upon the plea that South Carolina had never boon demo cratic. The men in Congress from this State hold no views in com mon with the Democratic party in tho United States. There aro ex ceptions but thoy provo tho rule. It is so with many out of Congross, notably in the legislature of South Carolina. Probably there aro not fifty men in the legislature of South Carolina who would not join a lynching party to hang Secretary Carlisle or President Cloveland in effigy as wearing tho apparel of angels to servo his majesty tho Devil In. It is a curious spectaclo and one woli calculated to make the angels weep or laugh? Whew! South Carolina and Kansas mon opolizing the habilimonts 0/ Jeff erson and Madison 1 In overy other Stato in tho nation *thoso who stood on tho Ocala platform and held to Populists' views hod tho manliness to dcclaro with Woaver and to run with Weaver and to fall with Weave*. Thus Tom Watson. The Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians and every other sect havo a "confession of faith," or hook of tho law and when they challengo tho orthodox doc trines huvo tho manliness to withdraw or accept tho decree of ex-eommuui^ition. Tho democratic party stands by honest money; so do democrats; the democratic party does not /told with Paternalism and making the ?State a tradesman] so don't demo crats; tho democratic party does not believe in secret dark lantern political organizations; so don't democrats; the democratic party is honest enough to stand with, by and for tho platform enacted by the party at Chicago in 1892; so do democrats. Thero is a largo ma jority of democrats in South Caro lina; tho troublo is that they have been beguiled by false leaders, humbugs, and demagogues, calling themselves democrats, who uro anything else and who aro alll things for tho spoils of office. It needs that tho chair should bo separated from tho wheat; It needs that the genuine should bo sepa rated from tho counterfeit. Tho democrats of (his Stato should hold a convention early in tho next year, formulate a plat form embodying tho principles of democracy upon (ho live questions of lo-day; separate themselves from the Tom Watsons, and all others of that ilk and fight for representation in tho national or ganization. Tho democratic league is the idea. Thero be timid and cowardly souls with palo faces, and bloodless chocks who aro apt to cry out about the danger from tho nogro and appealing to the negro. There need bo no alarm on this score, Tho appeal to tho negro will come from tho Tom Watson gang and (hat Ilk. At any rate it is not decent, reputable or honest to be counted in (he "organized democracy of South Carolina, when represented by men who de nounce nine-tenths of tho princi ples of tho party and who refuse to carry out ils heliosis. Formulate tho creed a3 handed down by the fathers, get upon it and defend if, sot up a banner and call upon real democrats to rally around its folds. Tho lcaguo is tho thing. Keep tho faith.

Aug. 18th, 1893.) Editor Advertiser: I fancy tho editor of the Adver tiser who kindly sends me his pa per will iuquire curious of himself ?what has bocomo of yankeo friend "P. W." who used to send up an occasional letter from Oraugo N. Y. lie seemed to think well of the Southern peoplo and regarded tho upper South as possessing pos sibilities in farming and fruit grow ing quite beyond what has yet boon seen in this section. And as to some of I ho suggestions offered about groater diversity of crops.? I am not suro but ho was more than half right. Horace Groely published a book ?"What I do not know about Farming"?it was quite voluminous as tho writings of those on subjects on which they know little is wont to be. Somo of your readers may say that characterizes the letters of P. W. who suggests changes and advises diversity of crops etc, with out understanding all tho condi tions?least of all tho "uncertain negro." With tho white man to direct tho brain and tho muscle oi the black labor, ho thinks that we cau produce cotton profitably aud grow tho food supplies for man and beast besido tho acres of cotton. When the white man of tho South directs tho brains and the muscle of the negro tho work seems well enough done. - I concludo a great deal of caro and pains are required to grow cot ton; much more than of grass lor pasture and hay?this much to ho said and may Interest readers. The variety of food products for man and beast that are grown in our less favorable climate may sur prise you. Two years ago at tho county fair ono man brought in ono hundred different articles all of thorn grown on ono farm. I am certain that as many can bo pro duced on a South Carolina farm under good tillage. I have seen the singlo mulo jig goring along with tho twister, or little shovel-plow two or three iuches deep in tho soil, und was told that this was the best mode of working tho land. I simply do not behove it. Results I saw on farms of Co!. Simpson, Watts and others loads mo to say thi?. "Laying by"?a tlmo in tho year I did not know existed for farmers, excepl in winter in the South I found referred to tho period alter the cotton had been for tho last time hoed. Our "laying by" time is when the frost has locked up the earth aud tho key lost?or tho midsummer vacation of ono two or more weeks which is given, or stipulated for when employer and employee aro bargaining, Tho government ofii cial by somo rule or custom has it and expect it as a matter of course. In this connection to mention that a oouplo of our Now York dally papers aro raising funds, which is spent in creating a "laying by" time for the poor city children wb are sent into Uio country and cared for a month or more by tho farmers. Also a Free Ice Fund to furnish tho poor during tho boated term. But, the greatost exodus occurs in July and August, when, by hun dreds of thousands out from the largo cities all along the coast, the peoplo go mostly to the mountains, but the valloys too aro filled and the butterflies of fashion gather in tho centres like Newport and Sar atoga and Long Branch, and to tho races and other places for gam ing another fast class go?and it is well if they stop before tho gamb ling hell is reached. "Excursions" so called, hero car ry passengers on comfortablo cars more than ono hundred miles out and return for .$1.00 fare, Tho world?the rail road world during these months is littorally alivo with motion; and swarming thounsands desecrate the Sabbath day; If it is desecration of the day of rest to seek it by going to tho fields and to tho mountains. I havo thought since I came into this place where wo pitched our tents two weeks ago, In the heart of tho woods and mountains camp ing, how well it is sometimes to get away from tho babble of men and nearor to nature, and tho God of nature. There is lifted up for us in somo mystorious way Iw > large lakes, ("Twin Lakes" wo call them,) to tho very summit of tho mountain. Tho horizon's rim seems nearly level with tho two blue lakes set in the emerald green of tho forest. Thoro Is of the darker pines a pro cession of higher trees that appear to bo on an eternal march around tho hills. Your neighbors, Sam Wilkes and Davis, havo seen the spot and will verify tho description. By tho way, tho presence of those two gentlemen h?ro with us again would bo most agreeable. May we not hope to entertain tho ADVER TISER somo summer ? Can he resist tho Inducements offered, shady ooks, placid lakes, swinging ham mocks, gushing Streams and capi tal fishing? Can't promise a "Sum mer Girl," for they flock to the fashionable resorts, but plenty of good company, young and old from "Grandpa" down to "Roy." P. W. P.
