LAURKNS, S. C. July 21, 1896. The "bolting" idea iseo sanctified now that true-blood Reformers should be ashamed to dig into the ribs of brother candidates about what they call Haekolllsm, Teller took the advice of Tillman and away he went and Tlllman is a friend of Teller, while Tlllman put up a first-class argument in favor of his own going in case Free Silver should fall to go. Now all good Re formers swear by Tlllman and there should be an end of scolding about bolters. Now, Democrats (sooallod) in this State have but one candidate to ohooao from In the matter of a Comp troller, a State Treasurer, Secretary of State and Attorney General. So the good orthodox voter must swallow these slated gentry for another term, good, bad or Indifferent. There are other Instances of such Washlngtonlan worthiness that none daro oppose tho aspirants. For tho lofty places?the positions of Governor and Senator, however, there is in oaoh case a trium virate of giants before us. Wo have returned thanks before this, notably for Whitman, but surely wo arc blessed in the matter of a field full of aspirants for Governor and Senator. While or dinarily there might bo complaint that we have not tho State to choose from, the severe rules by whioh wo are "oablnncd, orlbbed, confined" to tho two fields of illustrious competitors should glvo no body unbrago. They will prevont wabbling. And thon where there is only ono to choose from the voter Indeed Is saved all troublo, the ehoieo Indeed, as It were, bolng made for tho voter. We should bo thankful for this. Wo would still have further reason to thank somebody If the Senatorial and Gubernatorial can didates could bo sifted down to one by some convonlont slight of hand, and tho voters saved tho trouble of making a oholco. Besides It would, ollmlnato the Issue of a higher grade canvass and strand tho ontlre circus aggregation We regret that wo aro not in condition to adviso so economical a procedure. Retire all but one candidate and see how thankful tho whole country must be. Put the machine to work and razo tho field, to ono thoroughbred and let us have a walk ovor. Mr. T. Cunlngham Is a candidate for the office of Olork of tho Court for Chester county. On Thursday last he gave a great barboouo, to which the entire public was Invited. Four thou sand pounds of barbecued meats were nerved, and six thousand participated. Up among the Tar Heelers, Zeb Vance acting as Solicitor, prosecuted a sinner for tho larceny of an ox; the evidence was overwhelming, but tho man was acquitted. Tho great North Carolinian asking the foreman about it, re ceived answer: "Zeb, don't you know that overy man on that Jury got a part of that boef." The moral Is plain and the other fellow who Is running for that office should havo his congratula tory remarks in readiness. V The law of gravitation Is Inexorable and Invincible Per consequonco you will not see tho pending campaign with the ponding porsonel assume a moro elevated and elevating tono. Tho only gravitating will bo recorded as the campaigners gradually recodo from sea levol and approach the crest of tho Blue Ridge. Fortunately they cannot level that by assimilation. # * * And now a chorus of sympathy goes up for poor Bon Tillman on his "bust" at Chicago. You may kill a cat with your sympathy. Men should be made of sttrnor stuff, but thoy aro not. #% The Populists assemble in National Convention at St. Louis on to-morrow. They will swallow Bryan and Bewail, with a platform of their own. ??* And now Senator Tillman's apologists say tho galleries wcro packed with Gold Bugs to hiss democrats. Bryan was not hissed; therefore what is Bry an, my honeys? * * . ? ? The first result of tho Chicago nomin ations is the "bustln" of tho great Pea nut combine. Nobody would risk Tillman's coat-tail at Chicago. - It was "bob-tail" without rag and tag. Extremists are classing Bryan with Washington and Jefferson bocauso his name ends with "N." * ? ? One man objects that Bryan is a law yer; another that Sewallis rich. There i> nj|8uch thing as pleasing people. ,/ **# How will Arthur Sowall do for a Lsfcarus?

Children's Day was observed as announced at Rabun Creek church on Saturday before the 4th Suuday in last month. A large crowd, es timated by some to be about 800, gathered. The programme was well carried out and the audience was as attentive as^could be do sired. In,the afternoon, Col. J. H. Whnrton, of Waterloo, delivered a Sunday School address to the chil dren and Rev. M. B. McCuen of Princeton spoke on the "Ideal Wo man." The day was pronounced a complete success by evory one. On last Wednesday night a week ago a Lawn Party was given by Mr. Fred and Daisy Mahaffey in their father's boautiful grove. The young people lor several hours en joyed themselves vory much. On last Saturday night the Eden Literary Society had quite a lively debate on tho subject, "Resolved, that the running of Sunday trains should be prohibited." Tho So ciety by special invitation expects to have a dobate at Wham's Lawn on tho 30th of this month. Rev. W. R. McMillan has not boon well but he filled his regular ap pointments atRebun Creek church ou last Saturday and Sunday. A large congregation gathered to hear this popular divine on Sunday. Those who went from this neigh borhood to tho picnic in Babb's Meadow on last Saturday report a very nice time. Miss Cox, a beautiful young lady of Honea Path, is visiting Miss Erteile Babb at the present time. Miss Addle Major, an accom plished and attractive young lady of Honea Path, has been visitlug the family of Mr. Belton Owens. I regret to say that on last Sun day Mr. Edward Gray was injured in one of his feel, but I hope that it is not serious. You Know. The August Number Of the Delineator is culled the Midsummer Number, and the superb colored lithographic plates of Dress Modes and Millinery be gun in the July issue again form a brilliant feature of its illustrated fashions. The vastly improved quality of the general and literary matter of Tho Delineator is at tested anew by articles from such well-know n writers and authorities as Prof. Xaver Scliarweuka, Julia" Magrudor, and Mary Culwalader Jones. Tho first-named discusses Music as a Profession for Women; Miss Magruder's Novelette, "The Serpent Virtuo of Simplicity. Wo men longingly considering the fas cination of the wheel will read at tentivly what Prof. C. A. Von Ram dohr has to nay upon the Medical Aspect of Bicycling. Of allied in terest Is Dr. F. J.

Carolyn Halsted con tinues her series on American Wo men's Patriotic Societies, and Frauces Leeds' paper on Interior Decoration is devoted to Libraries.

And when fish Is wanted the boys go to the EnorCe River (flvo miles distant from Will Wright's) and catch any quantity of the biggest sort. One of the prot tiost spots In Carolina is Byrd's Mill on this river. This writer may be exposing his Ignorance again, but he never, no* until the other day, heard tho ex pression, "blue fair and red fair," as applied to distinguish bruuettes from bloudes. A girl with Hgbt hair, blue eyes and fair face is red fair, and tho opposite stylo of bounty, unless very dark, Is blue fair. Last week several of our party saw a sight that was Interesting to me, because a fellow who is cooped up in the heart of a town all bis days doesn't see theso things. It wae the removal of an ant village. A big army of largo red ants carry ing the young membersof tho fam ily across the wagon road from ono body of woods to another was worth looking at. I watched them for threo days when the last strag gling struggler wont by. They doubtless were at it beforo wo saw thorn. I traced them for about twenty live feet and lodl them in the douse underbrush. A pine forest flro in the neigh borhood was raging nil day one of these dry, sultry and windy days beforo the reoent rains. Politics!

NEEDIiB, Tyleisville, Laurons County, July 9, 1896. Harriot Beochor Stowc's Last Letter. The last thing written by Mrs. Harriet Stowe, only a few daysbe | fore her death, was a loving acknowledgement to the public for fond remembrances and tokens and expressions of affectionate es teem, on hor 85th birthday, which she sent to The Ladies Home Jour nal. In the next issue of this magazine it will be published in fac simile. It reflects the beautiful nature of the glftod authoress and by her death has become her last message to the American public. Last Wednesday Henry T. Butler rode out in a top buggy towards Glenn Springs. He carried a negro with him. As he was returning he received a severo electric shock while passing under a telephone wire that was hanging low. The top of the buggy came close to it.? He heard no loud report but a sort of whizzing, rushing, rasping sound and then he knew nothing for a short time. When he came to him self tho horse bad gone about 150 yards and stopped. The top of the buggy and tho seat were considera bly shattered. The iron franco of the top was bent in several places. Mr. Butler was severely hurt in ono leg and on tho opposite side,? It was a remarkable freak of electricity and a very narrow es cape for Mr. Butler. ? Carolina Spartan.

Broad Street, Atlanta, Ga. WOMAN'S mm MEN, who hold the purse strings, often deprive women of articles of inestimable value. The wife pleads with her husband for a Piano or an Organ, which is tenfold more essential than the cigar and other luxuries in which he indulges. The daughter asks father, or guardian, to buy an Instrument to enable her to cultivate that beautiful talent, music. Does any sane man not relize this a reasonable right to plead and ask for? Rellect a minute ! Think of the means expended for instruction, and the many tedious hours employed in* practice by wife and daughter, and of their glowing anticipations subsequently to be realized. Now, father, husband, or guardian, are you going to blast all these bright anticipations by denying them of this merited right?simply the gift of a Piano or an Organ? Give your wives and daughters their merited rights in the home, which is "Woman's Kingdom," then she will cease to clamor for politi cal suffrage. Don't plead inability when such liberal terms and prices are available. My prices are right, terms easy, and quality of Instruments un surpassed. If you desire prices and catalogues, please write me a letter or postal card, and same will have prompt attention.
