Tho County Campaign Mooting for this Township hold in tho Court House on yesterday was not largely attondod, tho crowd in attendance not oxceedlng two hundred and fifty. The city peo ple ignored it very largely, most of the orowd being from round about and over tho county. There was some lit tle sparring, but pleasantly, over the question of voting upon former fac tional associations, However, the voice of tho orowd seemed to be against it?for harmony and unity and ignoring past, doad and useless issues. We trust that this spirit will still bo maintained and that candidates for tho suiTragos of patrlotlo Laurcns Demo crats will bo measured by the standard of sound Domocraey ability and char acter.

During hie visit in the city last week, President Craighead, of Olemaon Col logo brought to the attention of the newspaper Editors the fact that Con fress makes an appropriation for 'armors Institutes in the different Congressional Districts. He states that if the farmers of the county de sire an Institute held in the county during this month or September he Is ready to hold one at tho suggestion of tho farmers. He will be present him self, with the Agricultural Chemist, and Veterinarian of the College and lectures on matters connected with the soils, stock, etc., will bo delivered. The Institute may be held for one or two days. It cannot but be interesting and improving. We suggest that the oflicors of the County Alliance and sub Alliances meet in the court house in this city on Monday the 24th Instant to discuss tho subject and make ar rangement to extend an invitation to President Craighead. Also, that farmers, generally are invited to meet here with the Alliance officers. We feel assured that the citizens of the town will extend every hospitality to those attending tho Institute.

To Tho Physicians of Lanrens County. Tho present age is one in which medical science Is making greater pro gress than ever before?new ideas, now theories, now discoveries all provo this in better results';as shown in tho lower per cont. of mortality in a given number of cases of any disease. If this be so and of its truth there ean be no question how important tho Physi cians, the guardians of the health and lives of tho public, should koep abreast of the advances continuously being mado. But, wo the Physicians of Lau* rons county as all can testify do not re ceive from our professional labors re muneration sufficient to justify us in leaving our famillos, losing tne time and bearing the expenses of again at tending Medical Schools and Hospitals, no matter how muoh we may so desire to do. We thoreforo would suggest as the next best thing for both our selves and our patients that we tako good livo progressive Medical Journals, road and study them, apply new Ideas, whou practical and then join tho county Medical Society whose object is for mutual good and where an exchange of experience Is freely given.

What Katie Rid?"Folkses in the Fashion"?Laurena Leads in Home Things, but Newberry Doctors, etc. the Beat in the State. After a free and unlimited rusti fleation at a favored spot between Rocky Spring and Sandy Spring, with all its attending pleasures and benefits, the writer finds him self at home agalo. When he left Laurens the town was in the mid i of the late en campment of the Third Regiment State Militia, and the festivities were just about beginning in earn est. Laurens Is not so large as New berry, but she has the finer and handsomer court, house?they say the prettiest of any in the State.? Grunted; but when Dose Orews says they havo a larger cotton mill, ho?he?he?what did John Gary Evans say to John Duncan ? Now B?se knows a great deal, is a good political prophet, blows the biggest horn in tho hand, ably edits Will Motte's Free Silver paper, and is rearing one of the largest families to Iiis size of any man in the county, but ho roust be mistaken about the relative size of his cotton roil). We "wouldn't fool you," but Newberry Is ahead In some things. FINE PLACE FOR BOY BABIES. But Laurens is great. One man in that hospitable county has seven sons, and the eldest is only nine years?no twins, no triplets. When your writer thinks of this grand and glorious result he is led to con clude that marriage Is not a fail ure. Surely that man's "pride of ancestry" must he swallowed up in his "hope of posterity." How is that for high, Chips? And another progressive gentle man of that land of fertility has three sons who were born during the stormy period of the late upris ing and whose Christian names are respectively Benjamin Ryan Till raan F., George Washington Shell F., John Laurens Manning Trby P. This is given on information; it is not positive that the boys havo tho names in full, but it is probable. May the little three stick closer than the big three. When the correspondent loft Lau rens there wcro forty-five candi dates in full Musi, braving the hot waves from the mouth ol the torrid zone and struggling in the boiling waters of tho political sea as heroically as G. Walt Whitman frought the simmering air of New berry Friday. There wero nine candidates for the Houso of Repre sentatives and8even for Treasurer, with ouly three for county super visor. Laurens had, up to that date, sixteen moro candidates than Newberry; but wo have one only for treasurer, with nino for the House and five for supervisor. THE ATLANTA OF SOUTH CARO LINA. But, speaking of Laurens, that lively town presents tho appear ance of a little Atlanta at tho de pot when four daily trains roll in regularly from different directions about the same time. Tho depot is a favorlto place at train time for the young people of the town. Some pretty girls woro there tho other day, although it was a' hot spot; but Lovely girls, like sweetest llowors, Need sunshine in the golden hours. Or silvery hours, for "all that glitters is not gold" now, by a large and overwhelming majority. When tho "free and unlimited" geta un disputed sway it is expected to change the color of everything ex cept the rays of the moon?they have always been silvery. And sil very rays remind us that wo met more than one Kaiie, and that, not for us, but for some one else, it can bo said: When tho right ouo met Kate She settled his fate With a glanco of her beautiful eye; And forthwith she hid, Was what our "Katie did," And tho man thought ho was up In tho eky, Yes, Chips, that was what this Katio did. One of tho most pleasant fea tures of tho visit to the court house was our meeting with Col. Ball, who is well remembered as a former solicitor of this circuit. He is the same genial, kindly gentle man. When we entered the town it was with difficulty we relizcd it was not Newberry, for tho first porno ms wo met were our citizens and ex-cItizena--Ed Clary, Loinis Blalock, Lewis and Arthur Simk Ins, Tom Lake, Joe Burton, Frank Bishop, Tom Henderson, the Mere diths, the Davidsons, the Ilar groves, and others well known in Newberry: Engineer 11 am mono, John Todd, Hugh Workman and John Smith, with those whoso faces wcro familiar but whose names cannot now bo recalled. SOUNDS FROM HOME. One day during tho last term of court they had a Bryan ratification meeting there, and tho speakers wero tho candidates for solicitor, all of whom woro present. It was ra Munition, glorification, jubila tion and Jollification. May it prove a Justification. Listening to the articulation of their peroration we forgot our tribulation. Everything was ?ilvor?10 to 1. Gobi bugs were as scarco as lightning bugs in a Nobraska bliz/.ird. Tho golden beams of tho burning sun assumed a silvery hue as tho gifted orators issued volumes of sweet notes from their silver hell tonguos. The silver fooling was so thick it could be felt, and one could almost see dollars flying through tho air. You couldn't toll anti from 'former. Not a discordant sound was heard; all blended harmoniously as tho beautiful colors of tho rainbow? and they do say that the bag of gold at tho end of tho bow has been changed to a bag of silver. The light shines hore. North eastward the star of silver takes its course, and when the crescnt forms over Washington's dome tho golden calf of tho henthon will chango Its metal. A SIDE ISSUE. While candidates aro discussing auestlons which arp now old, we would Hkp to. have tho fact ex Slalned why country people, who ave an abundance of milk, drink their coffee without oream as a rule, while town peoplo, who gen erally have to buy milk never drink their coffee without; it?that Is, hardly over. Strange but true. Whil^at Laurens we L SAW LADIES In the latest styles of (ashing there came to our alleged mind the Old Testament quotation: "The woman shall not wear that which pertalneth to a man, for all that do so aro an abomination unto the Lord thy God." The Bible is truth. How do the women reconcile it with fashion? Having nothing else to do we thought It over and came to the conclusion that As long us fashion rules anr* women aspire To be in stylo, though it lead through Are, No mattor what her changeful attire? In tho turning of which there is no tiro Even to wreck of banks it may require, And ruin of man from son to sire, Until eaeh had to work and llvo by hire. While their better throe-quraters talk by the quire? From plain Mrs. Blank to Mrs. Esquire, Man must submit and ever admire. Or elso bo shocked by her piercing Ire; Though in admiring ho should porspire Up to his head in lucre's mire, And in submitting finally oxpiro, 'Mid crash of worlds In the mad desire, If not, then I'm an awful-. GOOD MATERIAL. Though Laurens has the better court house she cannot surpass (politeness forbids us saying equal) Newberry in lawyers, or in any other of tho professions. Laurens is all right in this particular, but when it comes to ministers, doe tors, lawyers, teachers and orators Newberry Is far ahead of Any town in the State. Our preachers are always in demand, our teachers are called elsewhere, our physicians uro sent for from a distance, our bar is selected from all over the State, and at the Laurens Bryan jolly8treetiflcation meeting the two Newbesry orators eclipsed the able and brilliant representatives of tho-seventh judicial circuit of mighty South Carolina?the State of States in the glorious Union. COTTON MILLS. Laurens could take the lead in cotton mills, for she has magnifi cent water power in the Enoree River. The Enoree Mill shows what can be done in this direction. But there are not enough mills there. That great section should teem with these paying enter prises. If a party of Northern capitalists wero t<5 happen upon Byrd's Mill and view the wide flow and fall of water and see for themselves the splendid sites, cot ton mills would be built and put In operation in that land as fast as money could accomplish the pur pose, Laurens is noted fur and wide for her hospitality?Tylersville Is n aexception to the universal rule. FJsprybody wants you to "come to dm nor," "stay all night," "spend a few days." THERE IS THIS DIFFERENCE between a countryman and a town man?on an average. The c. m. wants tho t. ra. to go home with him when in his community, but the t. m. will lot tho c, m. hustle for himself when at the court house? with a few notable exceptions. Another mistake?occasionally a well dressed man sees a shabby countryman whom he takes to be ignorant. Sometimes the observed is somewhat ignorant and sometimes tho observer is very brilliant. But once in a while tho well dressed fellow has moro cuff buttons than brains and the shabby gentleman is a scholar. Don't judge by ap pearance or you might misjudge to your discomfiture. Wait until you look tho man in the eye and hear him talk; too many people have beon already. The countryman is in dependent and free?-that's what's the matter with him?and hero in Newberry he has sense enough to know that God made the couutry and Burr Rains the clothes. Nee odk. Tribute of Respect. Whoreas, God in His infinite wisdom has seen tit to remove from our midst and from an active and Useful work, both in the Alliance and the oattse of Him "who doeth all thing well," our much beloved brother R. S. Culbortson on tho 16th day of May, 1890; therefore we, the members of Centreville Alliance, desire to pay our high est respect to the memory of our deceased brother, and offering this tribute to his noble oharaoter do? Resolve, 1st, That we bow with submissive hearts to the will of our Heavenly Father, knowing that He is too wise to make any mistake. 2d, That we record horo and now our highest- osteem and ap preciation of the many virtuos and strong traits of brotherly love of which ho was possessed. Ud, That in his death this Alli ance has lost one of its most use ful members and eflioient officers. 4th, That we express our own grief, and convey to- the members of the sorely stricken family our deepest sympathy, and pray that the God of all graoe ana comfort may bind up their broken hearts. 5th, That these resolutions bo spread upon the minutes of this Alliance, and u copy be sent to tho bereaved family, and also to tho county papers for publication.

Yes, "Prophylactic" is a peculiar word, and hard to remember, but it is a Splendid Name for a Tooth brush, because you use a tooth brush to prevent your teeth from decaying, and Prophylactic means a "preventive of disease."
