"Information from Columbia says the

beyond the appropriation. There have
been brought 58 cases as tbe outcome of

Is a grand success, the students doing
good work willingly. There are 165
students in the mechanical department
and nearly 100 in the agricultural depart?
ment. The mechanical department is
too small to accommodate more workers.
Students do farm and gardening work,
building houses and other necessary
work. Tha work in all of the depart
. men ts of the College has been a splendid
success so far, and the future of the Col?
lege is bright. The Legislature will not
be asked to make any appropriation for
ihe College at the coming session, es the
trustees bavo sufficient funds to run the
institutio, without State aid.
Effects vi 9 Dispensary let.
Greenville, S. C, November 18.?A.
long talk last night with Dr. Ensor, the
raiding deputy, brought out facts in con?
nection with the Dispensary law which
should lead the advocates of this law to
stop awhile and think. Those so-called
Prohibitionists who were in the Legisla?
ture and voted for the law have little
reason to congratulate themselves on the
results of their experiment. Dr. Ensor
is a man who sees, thinks, reasons and
arrives at conclusions. He has no special
leeling for or against the dispensary law
because its operation would not affeot his
work one way or the other, provided?
but right here arises the trouble. ?
In speaking of the law be refers to the
habits of the people in this up-country,
their customs and political conditions.
He says that during the years in which
he has served the Government in the
revenue department, going from county
to county in every part of the State, he
fonnd that in nearly every house ;here
was more or less whiskey kept Men
who never drank themselves kept whis?
key for medicinal and social purposes.
Ab a matter of fact, this whiskey was
purchased at saloons in the county seats,
as a rule, and not from blookaders. The
cost of a gallon of whiskey was $1.50 or
?2. This w hiskey was bought along dur?
ing the year_as the farmer wonld have
business at the Court House.
Such were the conditions before the
passage of the Dispensary law. Another
fact he mentioned, and spoke of it as a
fact, that at the time of the passage of the
Dispensary law blockading was merely
nominal, only here and there Bmall stills
hidden away In the mountains, the output
not sufficient to attract the attention of
the deputy marshals or the people living
in the immediate neighborhood where
Koca ted. He asserts, and he knows what
. ie is talking about, that since the Dispen?
sary law went into effect the - moonshine
distilleries have increased ten to one, or,
to be more explicit, there are ten blockade
stills running now where there was one
before the Dispensary Act became a law.
He explains this condition very reason?
ably. The up-country people may be
poor, and many of them not cultivated
In the fine arts and fashions, but they
have a native pride and a love of liberty
which no law can bend or break. They
have an utter detestation of being requir?
ed to furnish a sponsor and then sign
their names as required to do if they get
goods from the Dispensary. Another
and very practical objection is paying
three, dollars lor a gallon of wbiskey
Which they believe inferior to the dollar
and a half article which they formerly
got from the saloons.
The natural result of such conditions
opens a market for the blockader. Dr.
Ensor says the rvhole country is full of
wagons loaded with whiskey?men 'and
boys with jugs peddle from house to
house and the moonshiners run their
d tills day and night to supply the demand
formerly supplied by the saloon: The
town people refuse to patronize the Dis?
pensary and the blockader finds not only
ready sale, but a negative protection.
. The spy system is so obnoxious that
people will aid and abet the blockader.
These spies dare not invade the strong?
holds in the mountains. They are not
looked upon with the respect shown
United States officers, because they do
not show the courage of the latter in
bearding the lion in his den.
And so the illicit distillers are , increas?
ing every day and the Dispensary law
encourages this increase, as it does not
strike at the root bnt seems satisfied to
capture, now and then, a negro retailing
drinks or a dealer in rice beer.
Another result of this law should be
mentioned. Towns and cities are filled
with constables watching and smelling
around for blind tigers. Great stress is
made of the fact, or the claim, that drunk?
enness is. decreasing in the cities and
towns; that there is less disorder and
fewer riots. Grant, for argument,' that
this is true; on the other hand, whiskey
is pouring into the country by every
road, and men and boys are buying it,
and it seems that the town boys will be
made sober and the country boys drunk?
ards by the practical workings of the
law.
J>Ti Ensor.has been all over the State
attending to his business of destroying
illicit stills, and he asserts that the oppo?
sition to the Dispensary law is increasing
every day. I asked him if he thought
the Dispensary law wonld affect the
Editical ambition of Governor Tillman.
e Bald that the people who were engaged
in blockading and those who Bee mod the
most bitterly opposed to the law were
Tillmanites. He referred to the people
outside of the towns. Possibly they
would continue to support the Governor,
and at this stage he thought they would.
But the Governor was very impolitic
He acted as if the Dispensary law was
bis own personal property?and resent?
ed any objection to it as a personal attack
on himself.- He seemed to consider every
other interest secondary to the Dispen?
sary. The Doctor seemed to think that
the Governor could have retained a per?
sonal following by asserting the fact that
theJaw was a law passed by the Legisla?
ture, and his office required him to see it
executed. All of Which is true. Bathe
has made it a personal matter and the
people in turn may make it a personal
matter and turn their backs on the Gov?
ernor at law.
From the foregoing it may be summed
First. That the Dispensary law encour?
ages the unlawful distilling of whiskey.
Second. That it is increasing the use
and abuse of liquor in the coantry outside
of towns.
Third. And Dr. Ensor gave expression
to this view, that the Dispensary law may
be the means of retiring Governor Till?
man to private life.?Special to News and
Courier.
fiun Down at Last In Georgia
Columbia, S. C, Nov. 14.?Governor
Tillman to-day issued a requisition for
William Carpenter who has been arrest?
ed in Macon. Carpenter Is a young
white man from Edgefield, and is now a
noted criminal. Several years ago he
and a friend named Murrell, while on a
drunken spree most brutally murdered
Preston Younce, a prominent Edgefield
er. Meeting him on the road, they cov?
ered him with pistols and told him to get
down on. his knees. They then filled
him with lead. ? They were sentenced to
hang but escaped from jail. The escape
created much talk and the sheriff was
ronndly censured. They were located
in a swamp and for several days and
nights they were hunted like wild beasts.
A detachment of military ander the
command of General K. N. Richboorg
was sent from here by Governor Rich?
ardson on a special train and Murrell
was finally hanled out from under a
house. Carpenter's disappearance was
as complete as if be had been swallowed.
Nothing waa heard of him until a few
days ago, when the sheriff of Edgefield
was notified of his arrest in Macon. A
total reward of $350 is offered for him.
$250 by the State and $100 by the Sheriff
of Edgefield.
A Dispensary Gives It Up.
Charleston, S. C, Nov. 18.?Thore is
another interesting development in the
Dispensary. John D. Fleischer, wbo was
one of the first appointed, has thrown up
tbe sponge and resigned his office. He
says the pay is too small. It is probable
that other Dispensaries will follow suit.
The fact is that the Dispensaries are not
in it with the blind tigers and are all
lossing money or making so little that
the Governor has reduced their pay to an
infinitely small pioportien. When the
four Dispensaries were appointed it was
understood they were to get$1,200 a year.
It is said that their pay has been fixed at
something under $700, out of which they
have to pay their help.
To-day Gibbes Whaley, who represents
tbe Attorney General, withdrew'the suit
commenced by the State to prevent tbe
South Carolina railroad from bringing
other than Dispensary liquor into the
State. The whiskey spies raided five
alleged bar rooms to-day but found no
contraband goods at all.
? The annual yield from the cotton
crop or tbe South will average $300,000,
000, says Governor Northen, of Georgia,
to which may be added $27,000,000 for oil,
cake and hulls from the seeds. Upon tbe
fields of the South are also grown $3,000,
000,000 in corn, $49,000,000 in wheat, $35,
000,000 in oats, $36,000,000 in tobacco,
$36,000,000 in sugar and molasses, $9,000,
000 in rice, $19,000,000 in potatoes, $25,
000,000 in hay and $185,000,000 in smaller
crops, making the entire agricultural
yield for the South for the past ten years
$10,608,608,132.
No Appropriation ?efle-l.
Columbia Stale.
The fourth annual report of tbe board
of trustees of Clemson College was issued
yesterday. The appropriation amounted
to $50,000; the privilege tax in round
numbers to another 850,000, and 88,096
was received from the land scrip and
Clomson bequest, all of which, less the
coats and expenses of tbe fertilizer depart?
ment? $8,174?left a total net income for
the year available for College purposes of
$100,822. From this had to be paid a back
indebtedness of $18,543.32, leaving for
buildings and equipments $82,278.68.
With this fund the College was completed,
equipped and opened. A list of the
buildings is given, among them being
tbe chapel and the dormitory, which has
155 sleeping rooms, tbe dining room, etc.
In dealing with equipments it is said
that the sleeping rooms, dining room,
halls, etc., are heated by steam. Tbe
details of the equipment of every depart?
ment of the College are given. Mention
is made of tbe electric and water works
plant, as well as tbe system of sewerage.
Tbe board states that the College was
opened on July 6, with 444 students
enrolled, representing each county uxcept
Beaufort. A high compliment is paid to
President Craighead and the corps. The
report continues: "There are now pres?
ent and attending the College 425 students,
and 525 more are enrolled as applicants
for admission in February next, tbe
beginning of the next scholastic year,
and this number is being rapidly added
to. It is no doubt satisfactory to the
friends of Clemson to see so many young
men seeking admission into its walls,
but it will be impossible to accommodate
them all, even though the Legislature
should make an appropriation and direct
an enlargement of the entire College
plant And yet It is humiliating to those
who realize in this demand for a higher
and broader education tbe future salva?
tion of the State, to see so many young
men desiring and seeking an education
turned away and denied ad mission sim?
ply for the lack of room.
"The board is not prepared to recom?
mend that the entire college plant should
be enlarged at this time, It being far more
important in their judgment to thorough?
ly equip and organize the institution as
it is at present. This will take much
time, money and labor, and should be
attended to. After this has been accom?
plished the question of enlargement can
then be considered. The thorough and
practical education of which Clemson
affords, costing only $104 for ten months'
schooling, for two suits of uniform cloth?
ing and two caps, board, fires, lights,
washing and medical attendance, If no
tuition fees are charged, and $40 in addi?
tion when they are able to pay for tuition,
makes it certain that there will be con?
tinual pressing demand for admission to
these advantages and privileges.
"It was impossible for the board, In
planning the buildings for the several
departments, to so construct them as to
exactly meet the demand upon their
can jcity. This is particularly true of tbe
muchanical hall. * .? * * This
building Is altogether too small, and
must be enlarged. * * * As is it,
of the 424 students now in attendance, 259
have elected and are now pursuing tbe
agricultural course, and 165 are taking the
mechanical course as far as we are able to
give it.
"Looking to the necessity of enlarging
the mechanical ball and the erection of
two additional professors' houses, the
board has made during the latter part of |
the summer 625,000 brick, all of which
are now on hand and available for that
purpose.
"In this connection it may be interest?
ing to state that, so far, tbe State has paid
directly from taxation for the ma.rni?cent
buildings and equipments at Clemson
the small sum of $68,000.
"The balance of our income has been
derived from tbe tax on fertilizers and
the Federal donations.
"Our income for tbe ensuing year will
be as follows:
First The Hatch funQ, which can only
be used in conducting the experiment
station, $150,000.
Second. Tbe Morrill fund, which can
only be used for teaching, $10,000.
"Third. The agricultural land scrip
fund, about $5,600.
. "To this add the Clemson bequest,
about $400, and the privilege tax, after
deducting the expenses of tbe fertilizer
department, about $40,000 aggregating
$74,600.
"With these funds the board must run
the College during tbe next scholastic
year, and with the increased attendance,
which we will certainly have, the money
required to enlarge tbe mechanical ball,
etc., it is likely we may find ourselves in
straightened financial conditions before
the close of the year. With rigid econ?
omy, however, we hope to get through."
A Bank Bobbed with Dispatch.
Wall* Walla, Wash., Nov. 14.?
Yesterday afternoon three men, without
attracting attention, rode into Milton,
Ore., and dismounted at the door of the
Bank of Milton. Two entered tbe bank
while the third stood guard outside and
held the horses.' President A. Hopson,
Cashier N. A. Davis and Assistant Cashier
William Hopson were in the bank at the
time. The first intimation of the coming
of the robbers was when two shots were
fired by the intruders before making any
verbal demand. Both shots took effect
in President Hopson's body, inflicting
Eainful flesh wounds. The revolyer was
eld so close to the head of Cashier Davis
that the concussion knocked him down.
The robbers then demanded money from
William Hopson. He handed them a
tray containing $949. Taking this they
left without attempting to get the ash in
the vault The noise of the shots spread
the alarm, and within five minutes an
armed mounted posse was in pursuit, but
all traces were lost after a short distance.

Ills Heart was Beally Broken.
Toledo, Ohio, November 10.?Senter
S. Parker, of this city, was found dead at
bis home last evening with his heart
broken, literally as well as figuratively
speaking, for the organ was rent in twain.
His Buddeu demise was tbe culmination
of continued brooding over tbe misdeeds
of his son, S. B. Parker. Less than two
weeks ago the latter was arrested on a
charge of forging tbe came of his uncle,
Dr. Sewell S. Parker. On Wednesday
tbe lather visited bis son at the jail. Tbe
disgrace of seeing his son imprisoned for
a criminal offence proved too much for
bim. On Thursday night be complained
of feeling unwell; that evening he was
found dead in his room. Dr. Parker ex?
amined his dead brother's body and re?
ported that be had never come in contact
with a similar case. The rupture of the
heart, he believes, was actually brought
on by grief at tbe son's disgrace; the
organ was separated and in two distinct
parts ; literally a "broken heart"

? A false prophet has arisen on tbe
island of Jamaica, that earthly paradise
now overrun by tbe negro. He teaches
that God has givon him power to make
a new Bethesda of a small river on the
island. Every Wednesday he stands on
a rock in the stream and blesses tbe wa?
ters, which are then supposed to have
the power of healing any disease. Tbe
natives are crazy in the fanatic belie! in
the new prophet, and 20,000 pilgrims a
day bathe in the waters. It is feared that
a pestilence will thus be spread, but tbe
Government is unable to control the con?
verts.
? Miss Carrie Lane Chapman says that
more than half the women who own
property in Dakota are graduates of
Eastern colleges. There is, she says, a
little south of the Crow Creek Reserva?
tion a section of wemen, every one of
whom is a bona fide farmer. She says:
"The fields are ploughed and crops
gathered bv women. One of the most
intellectual and most refined women of j
the settlement is a breeder of Hue horses.
She has no hired men. All the help are
women. Among these women are grad?
uates of universities. Among them
are old maids, young maids and wid?

? In his Brooklyn sermon last Sun?
day on oblivion Dr. Talmage came very
near advocating tbe horrible Maltbusian
doctrine that millions die or are killed
providentially. He said: "The men of J
the Northern and Southern armies were
told that if they fell in battle their names
would never be forgotten by their coun?
try. Out of the 1,000,000 men who were
killed in battle or died in military hos?
pitals you cannot call the names of 1,000,
nor the names of 500, nor the names of
100, nor the names of 90. Oblivion! Are

Squire Fewel Visits Hit Old Childhood
Hone.
Editors Iktelliqilxchr : It 1? a plwis
urc mixed with sorrow tu visit hjuh old
childhood home when you have been
away from it for thirty-three year?. A
Eleasure, because you love to see tbe old
omestead with its nice oak shade tree?,
where we have played marbles and rolley
bole and mumble peg aud gone under the
wagon shelter, where the dirt Is dry, aud
called up tbe doodles and a thousand
other things we could recall. But we soon
begin to think of tbe loved ones who
playi'd witb us that are now on the other
side of tbe river resting in the shade, and
it brings a sort of holy sadness to our
heart; that no pen can describe or language
express.
A Tew weeks ago we concluded to take
a few days' recreation and pleasure, so we
tnadoa visit to our old borne and neigh?
borhood. Taking an early start 11
o'clock brought us to the beautiful village
of Belton, where we made a short stop to
speak a word with our old friend, A. J.
Stringer, who we found sitting in front of
bis large store. Jack, like ourself, has
began to realize that we have reached tbe
top of the bill in this life's journey and
started down on the other side, which at
times seems very steep. We spent a few
minutes with him very pleasantly and
was loath to part with him, but we had
our Hcbedule made, so we bad to move on.
We arrived at Mr. D. R. Greer's about
1 o'clock, where we spent the night with
bim and his happy family. Mr Greer
lives at tbe old homestead of Laban
Massey. This was ton good a chance to
miss, so we took our kodaok along to se?
cure some pictures of the childhood home
for the children to look at.
After partakiog of dinner, we struck out
for a stroll over our own old homestead,
wbiob we found very much changed;
the bills have all leveled down and tbe
hollows filled up uutil it don't even look
like I bad ever been there, let alone being
raised there. But the old house is there
yet and looks familiar, and in walking
around it I oan almost see the holes in tbe
ground where we played roily bole. Tbe
pame old chimney, at tbe west end of tbe
house, where I used to run behind when
I would steal a lump of brown Bug&r out
of tbe side-board aud dodge out to eat it.
Brown sugar dou't taste now like it did
then?it is not near so sweet and good. I
wonder if any other boy ever stole sugar
out of his mamma's big jar in tbe side?
board ? Ob I bow good it was. And
there in the shed room was where mother's
big chest sat that smelled so good when
the lid was raised and bad tbe loaf sugar
in it?a great big loaf the shape aud about
the size of a three quart coffee pot, and we
used to take a little axe we bad and break
off a little piece?just a little ho mother
would not miss it?and ran behind the
chimney and eat it. I wonder if any
other boy ever did that? We then go
out to tbe garden, where we see the same
old fig tree, and near it the walnut tree,
and down to tbe branch aud to the spring;
It has moved a little and slid down in the
branch, but it still boils up tbe white sand
like it used to. And then np the hill to
what nsed to be called tbe old orchard, but
nearly all of tbe old trees are gone?only a
stump bere and there to show where they
had been, but tbe little grave is still there
and is well kept up by Mr. Charlie Rags
dale, who lives there. Tradition says tbat
this little grave is a child's?a son or
daughter, I don't know which, of a Mr.
Bloodworth, who settled the place some
eighty years ago, aud tbat tbe child got
burned to death. After visiting the ven?
erable N. A. J. Greer and wife, and spend?
ing a night most pleasantly witb D. R
Greer, and taking tbe shots with our
camera, we proceeded on our journey.
The brick mill, as it is called now, used
to be Brock <fc Massey'd mill, on Broad
mouth . Creek. Tbat is where we first
went to mill, when we were a boy?just
big enough to ride horse back. This old
place brings many pleasant as well as
sad recollections. Here is where we used
to go in washing and get leeohes on us,
and our backs would get sun-burned aud
blistered, and we would be afraid for
mother to see our backs for fear she would
not Jet ub go fishing next time. Here is
where Uncle Laban Massey and Uncle
Havden Brock attended the mill day
about, tbey being tbe joint owners of tbe
mill. I think that benjamin and Isaac
Clement first built it in 1835 There used
to be a stone in the foundation wall of tbe
old mill with this inscription on it: "B.
and I. C. 1835," which meant Benjamin
and Isaac Clement. Tbe mill is now
owned by Mr. Geo. M. Greer, of Honea
Path, and is run by bis brother Mr. L?. A.
Greer, formerly of the Pelzer mills. Da?
vid is a first-class miller and is always
ready to accommodate you witb good
meal and flour.
Our.next place in our schedule was
Honea Path, wbere we spent the night
very pleasantly with Mr. G. M. Greer and
bis happy family. Here we bad a look at
our mother's old childhood home, but tbe
old house is gone and another one In its
place, but tbe same old spring is there?
where it was a hundred andone years ago,
wben our grandfather first nettled there.
I think it was in tbe fall of 1792 wben be
moved from Newberry District to this
place. It was quite different then to what
it is now. Then tbe country was in origi?
nal forest, except a few scattering settle?
ments ; then tbe woods was full of game,
such as deer, turkey, squirrels and nu?
merous other smaller game; then cows
would come np out of the range &t noon
to be milked, for tbe culnquepin bushes
were covered with wild pea vines; then
Charleston was the nearest market, and
they didn't have any Bteamboati, nor
steam oars, nor sewing machines, nor tel?
egraph, nor telephones and thousands of
other conveniences wbiob we have now,
such as the power thresher (tbey bad to
tbresb their wheat with a flail), and the
scythe and reaper (tbey cut tbeir wheat
with a sickle or reap-hook), and the cot?
ton gin (they had to pick the seed out
with their fingers); tbey did 't have the
iron foot plow-stock, nor tbe .urn plows,
nor tbe sulky plow like we bave now, but
tbe rudest of wooden plow stocks and a
mere apology for a plow, They bud to go
ten miles to Church, Sometimes tbe Cir?
cuit rider would preaoh at some of the
neighbors' houses. Postoffloes were few
aud far between, and only not tbeir mail
once or twice a month. But there were
some things they didn't have that we
could do better without, such as tbe
money panic, and tbe dispensary, and the
Tillmanism and bis co-demagogues, and
office-seekers, and many more in tbe same
line too tedious to mention,
After making a few calls around Honea
Path we went over on the Saluda side.
On our way we pass the old muster
ground at Gaott'a old store. We could
almost bear Seaborn Strickland (the or?
derly sergeant of the Broadmouth Beat
Company, holler out: "Oh, yes! Oh, yes;
gentlemen of beat number two turnout!
Fall in gentlemen and form a line." This
will doubtless seem quite amusing to a
person who has beeu in tbe army, for
they don't call you gentlemen there, nor
do tbey invite you to fall in very often?
tbey give the command once or twice and
it is your business to obey. This old
muster ground bas beeu the scene of
many a fist-a-cuff fight in days gone by.
Some one would always have a jug of
whiskey out near the well and would re?
tail it out for five cents for the half pint,
and on election days, which came once a
year, the candidates did the treating. So
some of them would get down on the
ground and would have to be hauled home
in a wagon But tbey didn't carry pistols
in tbeir hip pockets then and shootaud
kill each other like they do now. It was
only a few scratches on the face and a
black eye, which would be alright again
in a week or two. Continuing our jour?
ney to Mrs. Mary Balentine's, where we
spent the night very pleasantly, we passed
old Friendship Church, or where it used
to be. Tbey have torn the old house down
and built a smaller one for a school house,
and to preach in, too, I reckon, and the
old place don't look like it used to. Sev?
eral of the good old preachers who use to
preach hero are gone, among them are
Rev. Robt. King, W. P. Martin, William
Davis and others I don't remember now.
Next day puts ub on our road home
On our way we pass tbe old historic vil?
lage of Calhoun and stop at the cemetery to
take a look at the graves of our father and
brothers. Here we read on a marble slab :
?'MbJ. Aaron Broyles, borne June the 7tb,
1707, and died October 5th, 1845; Frances
Broyles, born December 8th, 1763, and
died September 7th, 1841." So tbat this
bas been a burial ground for over half a
century.
Taking it all together we enjoyed our
trip immensely, and wished tbat we could
bave stayed longer, for we did not
get to see near all of the people we
wanted to see. Nearly all of the old citi?
zens who used to live in and around
Honea Path are gone. YeB, there was
Obediah Shirley, Mason Kay, John L. Da?
vis, Moses Davis, William Mattison, Dr.
John Gantt, Hugh Gantt, Jas. Armstrong,
Meredith Brock, John Bar Robinson,
Phillip Leo, Win. Clement, Capt. Wm.
Townes, Esquire Wm. ClinkBcales, and,
in fact, every old citizen I can call to mem?
ory bas gone, and a new generation taken
their places. So it will soon be recorded
of us. We, too, will go and give up our
places to Borne one else and will in a few
years bo barely thought of or spoken of.
So why, therefore, should men strive so
for office, for honor, for prominence, wben
they will so Boon be forgotten? As soon
as tbey start down the hill of life, not?
withstanding the sacrifices they may have
made for human'' y, fur State and country
some demagoguo >*ill come along and call
bim an old dotard, his day is gone,
"draw around y<m your toga and retire
like an old Roman; as you ought to have
done sooner." That's ihe waythePopu
lists of this County speak of Qon. Wade
Hampton. We had better keep still and
stay at homo and let the State go, but that
won't du. Wo have too much at fctake to
illve it up to these howling demagogue!).
So take courage, true Democrats, for tbe
people of South Carolina will soon get
tired of being ruled by a Czar, and will
throw off the yoke and assert their free?
dom and independence.

Needle's Newell News.
Editors Intelligencer : As we have
a fuw leisure moments this morning we
shall try to give you the Newell news,
Tbe happenings that have transpired in
and around our usually quite little burg
since our last communication are numer?
ous and varied. Sitting in a very pleas?
ant attitude with our feet, on which is
tied a heavy number eight elevated to
tbe level of the mantel piece, beneath
which is glowing a warm and comforta?
ble fire, there goes flying through our
head, on which is a wool hat, a little the
worse for wear, a thousand and one little
items all top side down. They keep
coming. Great Heavens! what will I do?
They are literally falling over one another
to get to me. Now they have assumed
the shape of huge monster? and hand in
hand they make a mad rush towards us.
Tbey get nearer and nearer. "Write me
down!" yells a speavined looking little
fiend, "I will make a good local hit!"
"You can't leave me out," says a burly
old scamp, "I concern the boys!" "If
you leave me out you do It at your peril,"
crlesagrufflookingold cuss, "I am a per?
sonal !" Unable to ward them off longer
we bow submissively and they form in
line around us, and with a grand chorus
sing, "write! write for your life! We
have been collecting together for weeks.
Now write up." Oh, bother! It would
take a couple of hours to write tbem all
up, and the mail is due here now in five
minutes. From the vast multitude of
items that surround me, gentle reader, I
shall hastily select a few, and prepare for
the worst. As a "local news correspon?
dent," I hope I have your sympathy.
Rumor has it that "Needle" will have
tbe pleasure of recording several wed?
dings ere Christmas.
Newell did a flourishing banking busi?
ness last; week. In fact, several new
bauks were established. It was potato
digging week.
Messrs. D. Edward King and James B.
Spearman are in charge of our public
schools this term. King at Mountain
Springs, and Spearman at Fisgah.
Owing to the very favorable conditions
of tbe weather for the past three or four
weeks our farmers will wind up gathering
somewhat earlier this fall than usual.
A gentleman remarked in our presence
a few days since: Another day's picking
cotton now and I will be at leisure till
next Spring, unless I break up my land."
Say, boys, what about our string band?
Shall it all end in talk ? No I You have
the instruments and the talent, now get
together and let'b have some music. Do
you hear!
We would be pleased to know how
many bales of cotton were grown in
Brushy Creek Township this season.
Will our genial ginners please be bo kind
as to put the number of bales that they
have ginned on a postal and mail it to P.
0. Box 32, Newell, S. C. ?
Married, on last Thursday afternoon,
November 16th. 1893, by John T. Wiging

W. S. Wilson, of Piedmont, and Miss
Amelia Foster of Newell. We join the
many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson in
-wishing them all the happiness attaina?
ble in this life.
A friend called to get us to forward hia
subscription for a funny paper one day
last week. We suggested several but
none of tbem seemed to strike him
favorably, "I have made up my mind to
take Ex," said he, "I see it quoted in all
the papers and the jokes are always
goed!"
It is out that a couple of our most popu?
lar young men drove so fast last Sunday
night that the sparks flew from the hubs
of their buggy wheels like rain, and that
the mountings on their harness were red
hot when they drove up in the yard at
home. It is also reported that the boys
were scared. There surely must have
been "something in the wind."
Our time is up. We clap our hands and

A Baltimore Church Scandal.
Baltimore, November 16.?The Rev.
Charles M. Bragg, pastor of the Calvary
Met' id ist Episcopal Church South, and
Miss 'anthe Phelps, orgaDlst of tbe
chur have disappeared, leaving letters
saj g that they will not return to Balti?
more. Tbe inference 1b that the parson
andc.ganist have taken flight together,
the former leaving a wife and flve young
children.
Mr. Bragg is abeut 44 years of age.
For a number of years he had charge of a
county newspaper in West "Virginia, his
native State. Ten years ago he enterred
the ministry. He came to Calvary
Church in March, 1892, from Roncevorte,
West Virginia. He was a foroible
preacher and, by his vigorous style and
personal popularity, attracted large con?
gregations. He preached twice last Sun?
day. Miss Phelps, the missing organist,
is about 17 years of age, of medium
height and good figure,
Richard Phelps, the young girl's father,
who is a well-known commission mer?
chant, declines to disouss the subject of
the disappearance of his daughter. "Do
you think she has gone with Mr. Bragg ?"
he was asked. "1 have nothing to say,"
was bis reply; "no statement to make."
Mrs. Bragg is prostrated with grief. It
is stated that she found a letter carefully
?ealed and addressed to her lying upon
her husband's desk. Its contents bare
not been made public other than it con?
tained the statement that the writer is "a
mined man," adding: "I am going away
and will not return. Tell the children I
am dead." The ten-year-old son of the
absent pastor, when asked where bis
father was, promptly responded with
tears in his eyes: "Papa is dead."

? Two centenarians died in the poor
house at Raleigh, N. C, within a day of
each other last week, They were Mary
Page, aged 104 years, and Harry Morde
cai, aged 101 years. Both retained their
faculties to the end.
? In India there are more married wo?
men in proportion to the popluation
than in any other country. Of women
between 15 and 40 years of age 84 per
cent are married. In Europe, with the
exception of Hungary, the percentage is
only 40._
A Tribute of Respect.
Whereas, God in His infinite wisdom
has seen proper to remove from our
midst our esteemed and worthy brother.
Rev. T. W. Seiglcr, who died of typhoid
fever on the 5th inst., aged 42 years. We
feel deeply the loss of our brother. He
was uprig'ht in all his dealings; his walk
was in keeping witb his profession ; he
was beloved by all who knew him. But,
alas, he is gone; we mourn the death of
our brother, but not as those who have
no hope, for while his body rests in the
cold and silent tomb we know that his
spirit is in the beautiful home of the soul
where sickness, sorrow, pain and death
are felt and feared no more, and that he
is now feasting on the beauties and glo?
ries of the better world which he delight?
ed so to preach to his people while here
on earth.
Whereas, we, the members of this Al?
liance, wish to place upon record our
appreciation and admiration of his good
qualities which marked him among men
as an example worthy of emulation,
therefore be it
Resolved, 1st, That in his death the
Alliance has lost a worthy and useful
member, the church a faithful pastor,
the community a good citizen and his
family a devoted husband and father.
2nd, That a page in our minutes be in?
scribed to his memory.
3d, That we deeply sympathize with
his family in their sore bereavement and
loss.
4tb, That these resolutions be sent to
each of the county papers for publica?
tion and that a copy be sent to tue fami?
ly of our deceased brother.

La Grippe.
During the prevalence of the Grippe the
past seasons it was a noticeable fact that
those who depended upon Dr. King's New
Discovery not only had a speedy recovery,
but escaped all of the troublesome after
effects of the malady. This remedy seems
to have a peculiar power in effecting rapid
cures not only in cases of La Grippe, but
in all Diseases of Throat, Chest and Lungs,
and has cured cases of Asthma and Hay
Fever of long standing. Try it and be
convinced. It won't disappoint. Fre<,

ST. REGIS INDIAN BASKETS!
Mr. Editoe : The St. Regis tribe
ofTndians are located on a Reserva?
tion of14,000 acres in Western Kansas,
The tribe numbers 2,100 souls, inclu?
ding bucks, squaws and papoose. They
still adhere to their own language, few
of them being able to speak EngliA.
They, like the red men in general,
never want to be civilized enough to do
much hard work. That is one of
the accomplishments of the pale-face
that they regard as unfit for warriors,
and should only be tolerated when per?
formed by squaws. During the hunt?
ing and fishing season the bucks are
seldom found at home, as they had
rather hunt a deer ten hours a day
for a week than hoe a half acre of
corn. This rambling life, spent on rip?
pling streams, mirror lakes and virgin 1
forests, studying the beautiful foliage,
the exquisite colorings of the forest
leaves, the lovely hues of the prairie
flowers, and their natural blending and
shading to produce brilliant and showy
effects. These dreamy hours, spent in
studying nature, has developed a very
keen conception of the artistic blend?
ing of colors, so as to produce most
gorgeous results. For centuries past
they have studied the making of bril?
liant and delicate colored dyes, until
at last tbey have acquired such skill
that they can dye strips of wood that
cannot be distinguished from the fir est
colored ribbons. These strips of ash
are then heated, so that the colors will
be "fast," when they are wound in and
out in the most beautiful styles of Bas?
kets, and when finished they represent
a picture of color-blending unequalled
in a studio.

For this we thank our friends and
patrons.
We are happy to announce that
our Spring and Summer trade has
been far ahead of any previous year's
business in our history. We presume
that by keeping up the same line of
fire, by our crack shots and hard
hitters, solid value for your money
down, our trade shall still grow better.
On this basis we are laying our
plans for a tremendous Fall trade.
We have already bought some Bar?
gains that pleasing prices will be
made on.
We are determined to make this
the banner season in prices to you
and business lor ourselves.
To this end we are working in the
day and thinking in the night. Six
days hard work and six nights hard
study will surely make a telling week's
work.
That's the kind of work we shall
put in from now till Santa Claus
comes with the good tidings of joy,
"Well done thou good and faithful
servant."
Do you catch our idea ?
