Public Meetings.

1othc Democrats Of Oconee County.
The campaign is drawing to close, md
every effort must bo made to olect tho nomir
noes Of the Democratic party.
Recently, the Green hackers have nominated
ticket for State officers. This party has no
strength within itself, but by union with
the Radicals, Just previous to the day of the
election, may secure success. Their success
in this way is no botter than tho success of
the Radical party. This must bo prevented.
To prevent the success Of this nofarious
combination, let tho Democrats prepare for
action. Attend tho meetings appointed bo-
low, and sec that all, black and white, arc

OBITUARY.,

Narcissn Abbott, wife Of Simpson Abbott,
departed this life October 3, 1880, after
long illness. She was GG years old. She
Joined The Baptist Church October .. 1911,
and was a consistent member. She was
baptized by Rev. Joseph Grisham. She
lived a Christian life and always filled her
scat in church. She leaves husband, one
son and grand children and many friends
to mourn their loss; but their loss is her
eternal gain. Mrs. Abbott bore her long
sickness with for,itudo and strong faith in
Christ. She had many friends and few
enemies. Her funeral was preached by
Rev. A. W. McGulin from I'd Cor, 5th
chapter. lst verso: "For wo know that IL
our earthly house of This tabernacle wcro
dissolved, we have building of God, an
house not made with hands, cntcrnal in tho
heavens" She was Inferred at the old

The Primary Election.

Tho result of tho primary election, held
last Wednesday, with q tabular statement of
tho vote, will be found in our columns. The
nominees aro certainly well qualified, and
whilo many persons arc disappointed at tho
result, oil must feel satisfied tho interests of
the county and State are safe in tho hands of
tho mon chosen for office. This is the high
est aim and purpose of good citzcns, and
when reached no Disappointment to individu-
ais or slight Irregularities should have
weight. The people have highor ends than
tho personal elevation of any ono to olIico
There are nobler aims than tho private bene-
fits to any one. Peace, order and good gov.
ernmont should be tho highest dcsidcrata to
the people, aud whom those are made reason.
ably suro in tho selection of proper candi-
dates for Office, all will bo satisfied. 10 the
Expressed will of the people all must submit
and we arc Satisfied that none will more
cheorfully do this than the defeated oandi,
dates. We feel suro no county has offered
for Office better list Of candidates than tho
ono heretofore published in our columns, and
we fool equally suro that tho interests of tho
County and State would have been preserved
in tho election of any Of them. The list now
is cut down to tho legitimate number and
their final election in November is assured.
In tho primary nearly half tho voto was
po)led at Walhalla and West Union. During
tho morning thoro vas no disturbance, but
in tho afternoon John Barley Corn began to
show his influence, and there WAS awhile
strong indications of row and bloodshed
Several pistol shots were fired on tho street
and near it at persons, but no ono was killed
or seriously hurt, though two persons, ono
white and ono colorcd man, wero wounded.
Rocks, too. whizzed about OCCASIONAL aud
tho mystery is that 80 little harm was done,
considering tho crowd and demonstrations of
rowing. We think in tho future on public
days, likely to create excitement, tho Town
Council should either have al bar rooms
closed or prevent by ordinance tho wearing
of concealed weapons.

strongly fought. While wo look to good gov-
ernmont ia tho STATIC as Of paramount inn
portanco, no one will dcny that national
success is noxt to n necessity in preserving
our rights and liberties. Tho Democratic
party is tho party of constitutional governs
ment. Tho constitution is tho charter, tho
bulwark of liberty in Republican govern
mcnt. Every infringcnt of it, unless
rcbnked by popular voto, wcakons its pro-
tectivo power, which flows from and rests
in tho virtue and patriotism of tho people.
lt is moro parchment without inhcrcnt
power. Its cnunciations aro the highest
declarations of right. and wbilo sustained by
the votes of the peoplo, its power is intact.
when however from any cause, be it COR
rnptlon or ignorapce, Incidence or luke.
warmncss, it fails to bo sustained by tho
popular vote, then its power for good is
gone. The SUCCESS of Hancock, therefore,
means constitutional government in its full
lest extent, giving justice and protection to
all, withou; regard to raco, sex or gcograph
ical lines. At this tmo his election means
more. 1t looks to tho overthrow Of section

Stone Shower in Georgia.

Last Satur day q week ago, while Mr..
Isaac Reed and his four children were
picking cotton upon q portion of land
belonging to Mr.. Newton Gates, in this
county, rocks began to fall about. when
Mr.. Reed, in anger, grasped up a stone
and exclaimed: Whoever you are, if
you don't stop. you'll get thisr' hold
ing up the stone in his hand. But the
rocks kept on falling so fast that all be-
gan to wonder who could be throwing
them. when it was noticed that they
were rising off the ground about them
and falling back! So strange a sight
caused them to leave the field and go to
the house near by, when the stone-fall-
ing commenced there. Some of the
near neighbors were sent for, among
them Mr.. N. Gates and Mr.. j. Bazel "a
sister of whom is Mr.. Reeds wife), and
all saw the rocks falling some of which
were hot and all testify to the same
facts-for facts they are-but as to the
cause none of them pretend to know.
Now, some will be so incredulous as ut
terly to deny this, and cry out,
"pshawr' and superstition" yet, in
spite of all, these are well-established
facts, as human testimony can establish.
Better accept of them as facts and 60 to
investigating for the cause. On Mon
day week the same manifestations were
repeated at the same place and one oi
the stones struck little boy on the
foot and another stone struck Mr.. Baze
on the shoulder. By the way this is moi
the first time that these manifesto
tions'' and appearances" or call then
by what names you please, have oc'
Cured, for in other places in this State

4 Cold Bath In Winter.

The season of the year when many
people who have experienced pleasure
and advantage from q daily cold bath
have to discontinue the practice is come.
Months will elapse before the return of
genial weather will allow of their indul-
gence in what may be termed mans
natural stimulant. Amongst the young
and robust there are large number
who are able to bathe even in the depths
of winter; the advantage of so doing is,
however, questionable. But let it be
once well understood what a cold bath
really is and the course by which they
can avoid Scylla and Charybdis will be
obvious. A cold bath is not necessarily
q bath in water of the temperature of
the atmosphere. A bath is truly and
really cold when it produces a certain
physiological effect-a slight momen-
tary shock followed by pleasant and
lasting reaction. These effects are for
the majority of people most pleasantly
obtained by bathing in. water about
thirty-five to forty degrees below the
temperature of the body-the usual
and July. Bearing this in mind, peo-
pie can enjoy their physiological ''cold'
bath as safely and pleasantly at Christ
mas % ~ AAiAcunAAhOAs ohN ehSAS - AAS
necessity for the most timid or weakly
to discontinue his morning bath be-
cause the summer weather is over.
When the water sinks below a tempera-
ture of sixty degrees, let it be heated to
that point and then used, and there will
still be a I" cold" bath, though Of heated
water. The daily stimulant effect Of
such bath is so beneficial to the great
majority of persons, and is Of such
marked service in maintaining health
that it is important to have it widely
known that q cold bath may be taken
all the year round, provided cold is not
mistaken to mean at the temperature
of the outer air." To heat the bath
during the winter months is too often
thought to be unmanly, while in reality
it is truly scientific, and to bathe in un-
heated water all the year round, what
ever the temperature of that water may
be, is to prove ones self an ignorant
slave of outward circumstances.-Lon-

THE LUCKY HoRsEsHoE.
OHIO.


A farmer travelling with hts load
Picked up horseshoe In the road,
And nailed IL fast to his barn door,
mat every blessing known in life
Might crown his Homestead and his wife,
And never any kind of harm
Descend upon his growing farm.
But dire fll-fortupe soon began
To visit the astounded man.
His hens declined to lay their eggs;
His bacon tumbled from the pegs,
And rats devoured the fallen legs;
His corn, that never failed before,
Mildewed and rotted on the door;
His grass refused to end In hay;
His cattle died, or went astray;
Next spring a great drought baked the sod
The beans declared they could not grow
So long as nature acted SO;
Redundant insects reared their brood
10 starve for lack of Juicy food;
The slaves from barrel sides went on
As II they had the hooping-cough,
And nothing of the useful kind
To hold together felt icnlined:
In short, it was no use to try
While all the land was in q Try.
One morn, demorali.ed with grief.
The farmer clamored for reuef:
And prayed right hard tn understand
What witchcraft now possessed his land;
Why house and farm In misery grew
Since he nailed up that lucky shoe.
While thus dismayed DER matters wrong
An old man chanced to trudye along,
To whom he told. with wormwood tears,
How his affairs were in arrears,
And what desperate state of things
A picked-up horseshoe sometimes brings
The stranger asked to see the shoe,
The farmer brought il into view;
But when the old man raised his head,
He laughed outright, and quickly said,
mo wonder skies upon you frown-
You've nailed the horseshoe upside dowaI
Just turn it round, and soon you'll see
How you and Fortune will agree"
The farmer turned the horseshoe round,
And showers began to swell the ground:
The sunshine laughed among his grain,
And heaps on heaps piled up the vain;
The loft his hay could barely hold,
His cattle did as they were told;
His fruit trees needed sturdy props
To hold the gathering apple crops;
His turnip and potato fields
Ast 1Alshed all men by their yields;
Folks never saw such ears Of corn
As in his smiling hills were born;
His barn was full of bursting bins
His wife presented him with twins;
His neighbors marveled more and more
To ace the increase in his store
And now the merry farmer sings
There are TWO ways of doing things;
And when for good luck you would pray,
Nail up your horseshoe the right way.
