CORRESPONDENCE Semphronicus Writes From Lex ington County. DEAR ABVERTISER : It may seem as if alj the characters that figured in the'columns of tho AOVERTISER Inst summer, have vanished like the roses which inspired their most pleasing thoughts. Mayhap the cares aud duties which Autumn briugs in her train have turned their attention to sterner fields i f thought. Pedagogue is running a paper of his own and is turning off some first-class editorial matter. Prof. Fuller, whose sch ?larly disquisi tions on educational work delighted us all, in working with might and main for th?* Batesburg Ad voe. te. Ol' all the rest, I suppose each is chasing his favorite phantom each one doing the work appoint ed, whether in th-j school loom, al tee bar, by the counter, or at tho plow. Your bumble scribe finds him self at present, exercising Jns .pedagogical at>ilities'/"~m tSe i^orlT' of Lexington county, near the place where our frieud Mr. J. W. Black , met his unime.'y death in Febru ary last. The fact ?hat impresses me most throughly, ie the resem blance of this country t.? Saluda, the same hills, flint rocks, red, white, and gray-y ravel ly soil ; and very nearly the same kind of peo ple. The analogy between their section and Saluda a? she used to be, is greater from a political standpoint. We of Saluda well remember what a slim showing a man frorn^JMtt^sectiou stood to get an office--wpeoially to go to the legislature. Precisely the same thing exists down here in reference to the Fork and Sand Hills. The Sand Hills can out-vote the Fork, and as a natural result the most of the offices are filled.by nvn frcm the other side of Saluda. On big occasions, men from both sides will meet and arrange matters to suit themselves. This year the Fork got one delegate to the Con stitutional Convention-Dr. Schu .er; the other s.de two-Efird and Lybrand. Thy people of the Fork, like Saluda, wonld'nt object to having a county of their own, but they haven't got the territory. This section was called the Dutch Fork from the number of German settlers who made their hornes in tho territ ry between Sa lada and Broad river. Some ot the olde t inhabitants still glory in the fact that th? y can render .Muter spreefie as fluently as En glish. Some of the ablest divines of the South Carolina Synod hail rremthe Dutch Fork. The sur face of the country with all its roughness presents a verv pleas ing contrast to the unbrokenness Mild dazzling y whiteness of sand hills just across Saluda. A word aH..ut politics; we no lice that Samps Pope has formally allied himself to the Republican party, not much of a ere- lit to that party, but a gain to the white peo ple of our State, in that they will not have to be political bed fel lows with such a man. He deliv 3rs a par'ing whack athis old as sociates by purposely omitting from his list of developed States men rnc'W men &n Bryan, Mower, Hendereon, B ib Watson, Jas Tal bert, Wilson, Gov. Evans, W. D. Evans, and putting in Ellerbe and Burn ! We doubt not the ability of these two men, but putting them before Jas. and Watson seems like sacrilege, even in the many spot ted Sampn. Well, the apology of those di rectors of the Atlanta exhibition to an iuvited gold bug fraternity wag laughable in tb.3 extreme. They try to shelter their own preoiouR selves by showering on the heads of Evaus and Tillman such ex pletives "ranting demagogues" etc. They ought to profit by the experience of certain papers in this State and know that that they are only advertising the <e men. One minute of cussing to a politician is worth-a whole ocean of .?raise. We tbiuk Tillman bas struck the key note iu putting the money quas tion ahead of every ot nor. So our / politicians had just as well get ready to face this issue; for it will sweep th i s country like an avalanche. SEMPIIRONICUB. News From Antioch. MR.

OBITUARY IN MEMORIAM. Ou the night of Dec. 6th, 1894, at the midnight hour, we bade farewell to sweet PATTIE ADDI SON, who fell asleep so quietly in the arms of Jesus. One year ago she left us to join the father and sister she so dearly loved and for one year ehe has been enjoying the companionship of angels and| has been sitting at the feet of the Saviour she so tenderly loved and faithfully served. She was sick many many weeks and bore her sufferings with Christiau fortitude, never murmuring nor complain ing. Restless nigh ls and wearisome days were appointed her, yet she bore all with gentle patience. Her mother and sister, her numerous friends, her kind physician were unceasing in their attentions around her suffering couch, but at last, Death claimed her as hiB prize, and her pure spirit took its flight, to tba realms of the Great Eternal, where with angels she is treading the etieets of the New Jerusalem. PATTIE was a member of the Baptist church, a teacher in the Sunday-school an active worker in the Woman's Mission Society, al ways at her post, unless providen tially detained, never shirking work of any kind, considering it a bweet pleasure to work for Jesus. The writer of this notice was inti mately acquainted with the de ceased, and can testify to. her no ble and estimable character. She was a devoted daughter, fond sif ter, and true friend, always bright and cheerful. We miss her ob 1 so sadly in the home circle where we were always so lovingly greeted and tenderly cared for by her. In the church, and Sabbath school, and at other services she always had a sweet, smile, a bright, lovii.g remark for us, and when we gaze upon the vacant seat, our hearts are filled with sadness, for we know our loved one has Jeft us. We miss her in the quiet "City of the Dead" where we speut so many hours together, and where her quiet form is now quietly resting. We miss dear PATTIE oh 1 we miss her everywhere, but we will meet her on the other shore, in the ' sweet bye and bye, where no fare well tear is shed. We feel the loss deeply, but know that tis God that hath bereft us, and Ht alone can heal our sorrows. Only a few more trials, a few more tears, then we shall geet her in the home beyond the skies. "Farewell darling-, till we meet thee On the Jordan's distant shore, There with angels we shall greet thee Never to be parted more." A DEVOTED FRIEND. Sheriffs Sale. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
