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."

EDEN'S NOTES.
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.

This is a great country. Tho for

hunter, a "regular Nlmrod," tells
me thero are teu squirrels hero to

Is wanted the boys go to the EnorCe
River (flvo miles distant from Will
Wright's) and catch any quantity of

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

twenty live feet and lodl them in

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

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.
I challenge any house in America to do better for you, as I repre
sent the Manufacturers, have 110 Jobbers to pay, and can save you
Agent's commission. Old Pianos and Organs taken at fair value in
exchange for new ones.
