of the Government stated in an able and
concise manner and is the first message
delivered by a Democratic President
since 1868.

HE SENSE OF THE STOCKIIOLDE
'IESENT To (LOSE OUT AND QIT.
In response to the call issued by t
resident of the Newt berry Agriciltu:
nd 31echanical Association about ti
ozen stockholders a=:embled in t
ourt Hlou-e last Saturday to olvi-'
> what sho:ld be (one a- to :m,oth
tir. The con=titutioun mkes it imper
ve on the directors to hol annual fa;
nless otherwie directed by the stoc
olders. The fair of 1884 fell short
xpenses about O350, and the last o1
-as behind about 100. In consequene
1e A-sociation has a debt of about $~>0
Upon a motion of Mr. Y. J. Pope, M
an .Johnstonle was called to the chai
ad Mr. Geo. S. Mower requested to a
secretary.
The roll wa- called, and it was foun
mt only about I'S shares were repr
,nted, and as the constitutiol requir(
majority of the stock to constitute
orum1, and a- there are 300 shares i
ie Association, for lack of a majorit
action could be taken. The sense
iose present was tested, however.
The treasurer made a partial stat<
cut. showing the debt as stated abovi
1d with only about $10 on hand.
Mr. Pope moved. as the sense of tlo:
resent, that notwithstanding there wv
deficit, the directors be earnestly ri
iested to proceed to hold another fai
I support of hi motio: he spoke of tli
-eat benefit the Association was to ti
rulers, and of the pleasure and prof
be derived froni these annual gathe.
s. He was willing to risk his stoc
another eflbrt.
Mr. A. Buzhardt seconded Ir. Pcipe
solution.
Mr. R. L. McCautghtrin1 offered as a
nendment to the resolution, that ti
ockholders be assessed 20 per cent. o
eir stock to pay the debt.
MIr. M1uwer said that at a meeting<
te stockholders held about a year a,
was decided to hold one more fair as
st.. and a circular was issued calling o
ockholders to exert themselves t
ake the last fair a success. The pro;
ct in the future is not likely to be an
tter than it was the past year. 1
as not entirely in favor of either res<
tion, but thlought it was best for th
ssociation to owe its stockholders tha
ly outside party. It would act as
imnulus to thien. If it was decided 1
yld another fair it would be best t
Lve the debt wiped out.
_Mr. G. F. Long said he thought
td been decided that the Associatio
uld not enforce the collection of t1
vv if it was made.
The President said it had been
eided.
The mlotio:: and amendment were bot
st.
Mr. McCaughrin said that it was plai
at the Association would fall behin
om $130 to $300 each year, and I
oved, as the sense of those presen
at the directors be requested to pt
e Association in liquidation and elo;
its affairs. Carried without discu:
)n.
Mr. D. B. Wheeler moved that thi
rectors be requested to call anothl
eeting on the third Monday in Jai

Has .Made a Mistake. T
We think that the General Assem
biv has m ade a mistake. The bill
should, at least. have required the
contract for rent to be in writing and
recorded or indexed as at present.
The merchants here are very much
exerci:el about this bill and claim
that it will work a hardship to all
parties interested in farming. It i
claimed that the landlord is given
too much scope without any cheek
whatever. Throats are n^de that no
supplies will be advanced to the I
tenants without the landlord becom
ing surety for them. This the land- IC
lord will be unwilling to do. It is
hard to tell how this new law will
operate. We hope it will answer all
purposes, but ab the same time we
have grave doubts and look for quite
a revolution in the tenant system of
our Stat.-1bbecille MIoli'um.

We are now prepared to supply the ' ants of everyone, as we -have on hand the most

competition both as to quality and low prices. Common sense will readily explain th.
son of this. Goods bought and sold for cash can be -offered to every customer atprloes
ich lower than in houses where the credi; system is adopted. The Columbia Dry

cDERWEAR for Gentlemen, Ladies and Children. We keep on hand a full line of 5Y

PURCHASERS THAT EXPECT TOBTJY WITH CASH IN
md i For first class goods and low prices my two stores stand to day without a
val in this part of the State. I am well aw are of the short crop and low price of
tton. I am therefore determined to make a sweeping reduction in my entire
ocks that will eclipse anything that I have ever before done in marking down -
>ods5. An examination or my immense stocks will demonstrate the truthfulness
this bold assertion beyond the shadow of doubt. My goods are all new and have not
en carried over from year to year to get a profit on them. I have determined to
11 everything at New York cost and use the money for something else during the
11 summer,'and for bottom prices see anti beat them if you can:
