We do not know whether the committe has heard from Congressman Watson o not. We presume the speaking will tak place in the Court House, but if we hay a good attendance it would be better t get the Opera House. Since the above was put in type Mr. J S.

N SHighest of all in Leavening PC oyh ASOILJ MASS MEETING Ar PRIOSPERITY. A Siua!l Tournament-Speeche,4 and Ad vice to the Farmers-No Concluaion Reached We went to town on last Saturday after noon to attend the citizens' mass meeting which had been called to meet there on last Saturday, 20th inst. On account of the inclemencv of tile weather by the threatening of rain, a very few of the farmers turned out at the mass meeting. About 5o citizens were present, some of whom took part in the discussion. On account of it being Saturday, and an in convenient day for business men and clerks to get off, (it was hard for some of them to make a sacrifice, for fear they would lose the "almighty dollar" in at tending the citizens' meeting,) they did not turn out in full force. The meeting was called to order at about half-past 2 o'clock by Prof. E. 0. Counts, who read the call for a mass meeting as follows: Resolved, That a mass meeting be held at Prosperity on Saturday, February 20th, at 2 p. i., to take action looking to a re duction in the acreage of cotton, and that the public generally be invited to attend said meeting and take part in the delib erations. In accordance with the above resolu tion we cordially invite every person in terested in an increased price for cotton to attend said meeting. We extend a special invitation to the business men of Prosperity. JoHN B. FELLERS, Pres. B. B. ScHUMPERT, Sec. After Prof. Counts had read the resolu tion he called upon Mr. J. B. Fellers, President of the Prosperity Alliance; he responded and said that the object of the meeting was for the express purpose of devising plans for decreasing the acreage and increasing the price of cotton. Maj. G. G. DeWalt was the next speak er. He addressed the assembly at some length, showing that the great surplus of our money was in the banks at the north and northwest. He also explained the value of the silver dollar when it first came into exchange, that it then con tained 480 grains of silver, while at pres ent it contains only 3734' grains. He said that the only chance for the farmer was for him to raise is necessary supplies at home, and not depend upon some one else for his home consumption, and that the only chance was to raise more sup plies and plant less cotton and at once become self-stistaining. He argued that by trying to raise more and more cotton that the farmers would become poorer and poorer, and that speculators and manufacturers would become rich. The next speaker was F. V. Capers, the editor of the "farmers' friend," as some call it, the Press and Reporter. Mr. Capers endorsed what Maj. DeWalt had already said. He claimed that the only chance was to decrease the acreage 01 cotton and increase the acreage of grain and food supplies and home consump tion. The next and last speaker was Hon. W. D. Hardy, he began by saying the Alliance was holding conventions all over the Southern States to see if there was not some way to decrease the average area of cotton. After Mr. Hardy's ad dress the me-ting adjourned "sine die" without coming to any conclusion. G. B. D. Thompson's Glove Fitting, Warner's Health, and Globe corsets at Mower's. SEED POTATOES! Early Rose, Burbanks, Goodriclii7 at S. B. JONES. Doctor Pope's Visit North. Dr. Sampson Pope. of Newberry, is in the city on his way to his home from a trip North. Stories have been printed that Doctor Pope's visit to Washington was to arrange, with Senator Irby, to secure money to rn the Hill campaign in this State. Doctor Pope said last night that his visit to Washington and New York was for busiuess and plea sure and that politics was only inciden tal. He went to New York on Sunday with Senator Irby, but only saw and talked with one Tammany man, Gen eral Pryor, who was one of Dr. Pope's officers in the war. Dr. Pope says Senator Irby had an appointment in New York Tuesday with Congressman Brawley. The ap pointment was to transact business and polities was not mentioned between them.-Greenville News, 20th. A CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS. Dr. S-imupsomu Pope has stated tt a Washington newspaper reporter that he is a candidate for Congress from tbe Third District. He says: "I stand squarely on the Ocala platform, and will enter the lists as a friend of the Alliance and its demands. The people ask for finRancial reform and they are going to have it." Dr. Pope is strong enough to make a successful contest for a seat in Congress and able enough to fill it with credit to himself and his people. We take pleasure in publish ing his announcement and have con fidence in his success.-Register. WILL. "NOT ENTER A SCRUB RACE." Dr. Sampson Pope, of Newberry, was in the city to-day. Ini referen.ce to the alleged Nill-Tillmnan mission to New York hie said that lhe knew nothing. He wemr to the city of New York to pur chase some medicines and machinery for a nianufactory which he proposes to establish. While in New York the nearest approach to Tammany that he saw was Gen. R. A. Prvor, now a judge upon the bench, his personal friend, and he saw him hardly five minutes. Neither Senator Irby and Congressman Brawley, who were together, had any Hill business in New York. The first'he knew of any political errand was what he saw in the newspa Ipers. Dr. Pope said regarding his candi dacy for Congress that lhe did not propose to enter a scrub race against Col. John stone, but that he would enter the fight if the field were given to him. It would be a pretty hard matter for one man to defeat Johnstne, and if Col. Norris. Mr. Jos. Keitt, son of Ellison Keitt, and the Rev. . A. Sligh, who were spoken of as candi dates, would give the field to hini he would be glad to make the fight and go to Congress.-Columibia cor.

Nearly all the railroads in the Stat have refused to pay their taxes and all bi the C., N. & L. that have paid, ha-. dot so under protest. They propose to cart the matter into the courts. The Columbia correspondent of t1 News and Courier says: "The position of the railroad corpor: tions in declining to pay their taxes o the basis of the assessment made by tb railroad board of equalization will ve: probably be a matter of serious inconvet ience to most of the counties in the Stat: and it may possibly make it necessary f( the State to make 'a loan for the expens( of the Government. The amount of rei enue from all railroad property is $14. 263.56, and from present indications on] a very small proportion of this will I paid. According to the tax regulatioi the fight will probably begin on the 101 of March, when the county treasure: commence their crusade of tax execution and the case will come to a head ari the issue be brought squarely before ti Courts. How the course of the railroat in refusing to submit to a tyranny in ta: ation will affect the various counties c1 best be seen by the following statement: Then follows the assessnients of the rai road property in each county as returnt by the roads and also as increased I railroad assessors. In Newberry Couni the assessment in i89o was $359,675; i8gi, $647,390. The total assessment J the State in iS9o was S17,905,914; 1i1 189 $26,065,89o. An increase of over nir million dollars. THEY OFFER TO PAY IN NEW1ERRY. On last Friday Mr. W. S. Rogers agei for the Richmond and Danvill railroa< accompanied by Lawyers Culbreath at Hunt called at Treasurer Boyd's offi< and tendered $3,472.58 in payment of tl taxes which Mr. Boyd of course refus( to accept. The total tax under the i creased assessment amounts to $5,521.: in this countv. The C., N.'& L. paid its taxes withoi protest amounting to $89S. 70. The G., C. & N. also paid, but und, protest.

As you have no correspondent from these diggings, we will try and give you a few of the "mishaps" of this community. We have wondered why you did not get re some "brainy" person to give you the b happeuings of this, the southern part of the county. St. Valentine's day passed off quiet, and we think that "Uncle Sam" was not overloaded, as this is leap year. Some of our young men say that the "gals" are not doing their part this year. At Mr. J. Wils^n Long, who has been very o- ill, we are glad to state, is greatly im proved. There is a horse in this section that is 26 years old. We think that it is time . for him to be "set free." I wonder how P many more the-a are in this county that ' old. Politics and the Alliance, with Ben to Tillman, is all the talk, and some of the id leading newspapers of our grand old State are trying to run distracted and le carry water on both shoulders, claiming Ie to represent the farmer and his cause and d interest, while they hold forth the busi arness side of the question for the sole pur epose of getting subscribers, when they care not one straw for the farming class nof our country. Mr. Editor, we are glad "to see you stay on one side of the fence. eWe believe in onie fighting for what is er right when he sees it. If Governor Till aman is wrong, show your readers the mis steps he ias taken, and stand by your 2g propositious, and you will win the battle. of What did Tillman and the past ses sion of the Legislature do? Compara tively nothing, but received their pay all L'- the same. Tillman canie forward on the reform planks of the farmers aiid made a good many promises that were not so easily fulfilled when he went into the ex ;e ecutive mansion. He now claims to want a second term, and better represent 8 atives to establish these promises of his. -We say we want reform by some means, 1 if it is reformi that is needed. If B. R. STillman is iiot a reformer, let us have another who will give the people their Tdrihs schools of this section, viz: 03Neall, re Long Poud, Monticello and Saluda are Yin a flourishing condition.

Mrs. Griffin, of Gallman community has been visiting in this section. Mr. J. S. Werts paid a brief visit to Saluda last week his old familiar hunt ing grounds. Misses Frances Miller and Enoise Counts have been visiting relatives here. The pupils of school have cleaned off' their flower yard nicely. This Ehows a spirit of taste amongst the pupils as well as love for roses. Mr. and Mrs. Long. of JohLstone community paid us a pleasant visit on Saturday. We always enjoy their plea sant calls. Mrs. Marion Miller and children have been on a brief visit to relatives in O'Neall section. The recent rains have caused the far niers to hold up a few days from turn ing the soil. Mrs. J. M. Wheeler, of Prosperity, visited relatives in our quiet lit cle vil lage last week. Sabbath was rather a disagreeable day. Owing to the inclemency of the weather the service in the afternoon was very well attended. Mrs. L. C. Singley and little daugh ter left oa Saturday afternoon for their new home known as the River Mill place. We put our section of road in good condition last week and we are still happy and cheerful feeling that we performed a good duty for Unce Sam. Other roads are receiving attention. We had the pleasure:of attending the farmers mass meeting held at Pros perity on Saturday afternoon. The meeting was called to order by Prof. E. 0. Counts. For fear we may intrude upon our friend "Yube" we will hold up by saying that the farmers in this sec tion showed their interest by a good attendance. There is still a rage of mad-dog con versation throughout this entire neigh borhood. A dog belonging to Mr. John F. Wheeler that has been passing the road frequently has bitten two or three pupils of ourschool quite recently. The dog was not mad but it is very unsafe to be bitten by a dog in these .ays. It should be a violation of the law for any person or persons to allow such dogs to run at large. If everybody would raise a hog in place of feedir g a dog they would find their condition very much improved. Y"t we hear the cry of hard times. The Herald and News speaks fair and plain concerning pol:ics and office holders; it gives every man a ri;ht to his own opinion aBd wrongs no one.
