Enxly Cloeing.
As tbe long? bot days of tbe se m aver sea
eon approach aod the dulie*** -et" business
makes time haa g heavy on our hands it is
well for our merchant* to consider tbe early
dosing movement. Tbe same arguments
%fhieb heve been advanced for a number of
years and which hare been proves correct,
bold good. It ie better for both etsp?aycr
and employee to bare some recreation from
their tab >rs, particularly when it doe* not
interfere with business, and we trust that
our merchants vid again take tbe matter in
band aod make the move in the general
eleerogoflbe store* at 6 o'clock during tbe

A most cordial invLation is this week ex
tended to our readers by Mesere. Schwartz
Bros, in their new advertisement to visit
their Palace Dry Goods Emporium aad Milli
nery Parlor. Their extensive business house
ha* recently been greatly improved and em
bellished and tbe millinery department added
Jo their general dry goods and dress making
tontines*. This branch of tbe business is un
der tbe charge of an experienced artiste from
New York. In the few years since this firm
established business here the? bare assumed a j
position in the foremost rank of oar business |
fceases and we doubt if there is any portion of!
our county where the reputa-ion of Schwartz
Bros is unknown. We cannot attempt to
describe tbe stock carried by these gentlemen
but simply extend their invitation to the pub
lic to visit them
City Election.
The election for officers to govern the etty

tbe regular nominees, but in place of Messrs.
Brown and Pierson, bearing tbe names of
A. W.SuderaodW. P. Saiith. Considera
ble interest was manifested in tbe election,

Steter Services.
The Cache;ic and fipEscopal Churches were
beaottfaUy e?cerated on last Sunday. Tbe
floral adornamente, while not so elaborate as
en last Eaeter, oaring to the lateness of the
spring, and tbe coasequeat scarcity of flowers,
were tasty and handsomely displayed. The
beautiful Easter ItJIiee growing in such prod

There were no ?ervices at the Episcopal
Church in the morning, but an overflowing

earpassing scything we bare yet had in Sum- ,
ter is in store. A graod concert of vocal

Homieide
As the result of the careless handling of a
pistol we are again cabled on to report the
?eath of an unknown negro at Tindall's
depot, on the C. S t N. R. R , this morning.
The pistol was in tbe hands of a negro named
Willis Moses, and he claims that tbe shooting
was entirely accidental, and that be does not
even know the name of tbe ?afortunate man
who is the victim of his carelessness. The
particulars are very meagre, but as far as we
could gain them are these.
Both mes were in the employ of the C. S.
?fc R. R. And at the time of tbe shooting
were on a train which was loading with wood
at Tindall's. The man who was billed was
sitting in the open door of a boxcar, and
Moses who was on a fiat car near by, claims
to have been simply handling his pistai when j
it was discharged, the ball taking tffect under i
the eye of the negro and ranging upward into
the Drain, from which he died iu aboat ten j
minutes. As the deceased had only been em
ployed by the Railroad on yesterday and had
gone to work this morning for the first time
it was impossible to get his name. Moses
gave hi self to tbe authorities and is now ic
Jail. While he claims that the shooting was
accidental there are rumor* to the effect that
<e*eral witnesses say it is otherwise. Moses j
was seen on the streets yesterday with a pis- j
tol in his pocket a?d was warned by several 5
of oer policemen that he better not carry it as |
it would ve y likely cause trouble. He did
not heed tbe warning nod this morning we
see the resa It.

The Opinion of One ''Farmer."
Makxtilub, S. C, Apt il 5, 1890
Mr Editor : Some of us folks away down
here in the backwoods, have been watching
passing events pretty closely 1/ late, and it is
cheering to some of us to see that \ ou adro
cate in your paper tlie adoption of the plat
form of the late Shell Convention, and that
so soon after itsbi.th; but it is completely
beyond our comprehension to know why a
man would so much enjoy the taste of nice,
juicy and delicio-us fruit and in the next
breath should want to cut down and destroy
the ttee th*t bore it. Now, Mr. Editor, we
bave always been ready to believe you a good
roan at h-enrt, and we begin to realize the
fact that the *?*ry best ot men are linble to
err at time?, ar.d eotpe are willing to acknowl
edge their mistakes. We would be slow to be
lieve that *n Editor of your acknowledged
ability and intelligence will allow your pre
judice to overrule the dictates of your con
science so far as to ruin the very cause that
you are working so hard for,?that is good
Government. A this vilifying and slander
ous abase of Til:man and his friends as you
Editors and ma-iy newspaper corespondents
are doing is not the way to calm down excite
ment and bring about a good and healthy
state o? feelings among men who chose to
differ with you on different issues. It will
evidently hare just the opposite effect, in that
such a course persisted in is going to create
tbe worst kind of antagonism in the demo
cratic party so that if dwgracf, desolarion and
ruin dont follow in its wnke it will be sup
prising, if the worst should come those venom
sltngers will have it to shoulder You should
bare it io mind that this is a free couotry in
habited by free men, and intelligent free men
are not going to quietly euhcoit always to
this would be bossiem and abuse that is be
ing eternally heaped upon their beads. For
bearance is going to cease to be a necessity,
tb?n the tug of war will come.
Decent criticism can do no harm but often
does good ; slanderous abuse without the
canse to justify it will no" long be tolerated.
Mr. E mor, tbe rule ot give and take ought
to be applicable in this case. We s** that
some friend in the Ust issue of your paper hap
Dominated Joseph H. Enr?e for Governor, &r d
in all tbe days and years (hat I have been a
reader of newspapers I have never seen such
an elaborate boom made ov?r the nomination
of any one man. It is really amusing. Now
your object in writing such a long and puffy
article about your man is b-cause }ou are his
friend, for you say your hem and hands fire
in the work of making him your next Gov
ernor and "God speed him in the race," and
I don't blame \ ou. neither do I want to abus*
you for manifesting your zeal for tbe man of
your choice, but I don't think any of C*pt.
Tillman's friends and admirers have ever felt
the necessity for preaching such a pleading
and imploring sermon over his nomination.
Now, I don't want you to understand me
to mean aoy disrespect towards Gen. Earle,
for I am his friend and admirer, but Capt.
Til'man comes iu fcr my first share of admin
ration. Now, what more authority and right
have you in your great zeal and in your own
opinion to give Joseph H. Earle such a puff
for Governor than I have in my own opinion j
to puff Ben R. Tillman. You and your crowd j
won't suppor: Capt Ttllman, and there will
be hundreds and thousands in this State that
wod't support Gen. Earle. What is the use |
for us to turn tools and a'?e complete asses 1
of ourselves over men when we know so well 1
that they are mor?al and all made of clay.
Mr. Editor, I am afraid you are going to j
fall under the load that you are trying to !
carry. Your man will never be governor <>f
? -Qth Carolina while B. R. Ttllman is in the \
field. You have builded your hopes upon a j
weak andi shaky foundation, the very first 1
Ttllman wave that comes along will wash it j
ail into oblivion.
I don't doubt but that Gen Earle would j
make a good ruler. He has had considerable
experience in governing men If he should !
be elected and wouId govern the w hole peo
ple of the State as satisfactory as he has
governed your S?mter Ring his administra
tion would be a complete success My
opinion is that your man is like yourself and
all other lawyers, he wou Id give more of his
time and attention to the filling of his pocket
than hi* abilities to relieving the horny
handed sons of toil. Fari?kr.

Letter from New.
Sunny Dale, March 31, 1890.
Being a new hand at the business I hardly
know how to begin mj letter. The farmers
about me are more than usually forward with
their planting. Oats are a failure in this
section. That cold Sunday we had made an
end to fall oats. The buds are withered,
though the plants look fine. It is the bottom
blade that makes the show. The plants are
putting out new suckers from the roots, but
I am afraid when matured, they will prove a
cheat?all straw and no grain. The spring
oats, on the other band are very promising.
We have a few cases of bog cholera in our
j neighborhood?something we have not had
for many years. A neighbor brought a very
fine hog from the Ma^esville section some
time ago. It died after a few days and other
hogs have been dung right and left ever
since. The disease was evidently propagated
from the hog imported from May es ville.
Old Rimberts Church is on a firm footing
once more. It has a fine organ ? Mrs. Jaines
Herriot teing the organist. The Sunday
School was reorganized on the 4th Sunday
in March with Dr. H. T. Abbott Superintend
ant and Jas. E. Rembert, Secretary. There
will be divine services hereafter at this
Church every Sunday, except the first Sun
day, at II o'clock, in each month, and at
3 o'clock P. .M., on every first Sunday.
In conclusion, Mr. Editor, let me ask a
quesiiog. Trial Justice Stuckey has said that
it is against the law to put out poison of at y
kind. If this be the case what is a man to
do? Some dogs undermined my fowl coop
and destroyed a hundred eggs I had forse
ting. Icoun'fd thirty-five dogs in this im
mediate neighborhood, and poultry is bei; g
destroyed without any hope of redrfSS to tbe
owners. New.
[Mr. Stuckey is right in his opinion as to
putting out poison.?Ed.]
Letter from Qui Vive.
Pisgah. S. C, March 31, 1890.
Mr. Et?ilor : Tbe storm of the 22d inst.,
was quite heavy. \V?ile no houses in this
section were blown down, or no one hurtas
far as I have heard, yet trees, fences, &c,
went down before it in a secdnd. Our far
ra-rs who are fortunate to have fences, were
tfom>'time righting their places up. In new
grounds the laud was literally covered in
some places with logs and tiasu. We are
thankful it was nc worse
The Pisgah neighborhood last Tuesday,
was visited with a heavy fall of water, which
did a great deal of damage by washing. On j
Friday moruing we had another rain and
blow after which a severe wind raged all day,
blowing things right and left, causing o?
course more work iu the tree and fence line.
Corn hns been plan'ed, and cotton planting
commeuced. Oats look miserable. 1 saw
some the o:her day knee high which looked
as if ?re bf?d burnt over them. Tbe ouly
oats that will make a crop tbis year will be
the spring oats, or those sown after January.
Labor is not as easily managed as it was
during CleveUnd's reign. The solution of the
Negro Problem is a democratic administration
at Washington. Every one remembers how
peaceable and quiet, everything was during
the four years of democratic rule.
Chairman Hoyt's address to the democrats
of tbis Stats is well received here. It is
echoed by all true men of this Slate. I presume
he alluded to the Shell Convention when he
said, that there are differences of opinion
among our people. That is as much recog
nition as it should ever get.
