The Greenbackers

Tho State Convention Of tho Greenback
party met in Columbia last week. Wo pub.
lish the platform Of the party and tho names
Of their nominees in this number Of tho
COURIER. The material Of tho convention
as reported wus of character, taken as n
whole, to discourage any party or set of men.
Some of the delegates arc good men, but
most Of the material was of light or der.
Nearly every county in the State was repro
sented, some of tho delegates being colorcd.
The strength Of tho Grcenbaokors in tho
State does not amount TO vory much. But if
the Republican State Convention, which met
in Columbia on tho 18th instant, should en-
dorse and support the ticket nominated by
tho Greenbackers tho coalition would make q
show of strength at least This will demons
strato, if it takes pluco, stronger than any-
thing else, that the Greenbackcrs arc wolves
in sleeps clothing, voting and consorting G
together politically with the Republicans.
Mr.. Stanton, the nominee Of the conven.
tion for Treasurer Of the State. is man Of
substance, and has resided in Seneca for
several years. We understand ho is a
native Georgian. We arc sorry to SEQ him
in. such company.

Wind and Rain Storm.

A. fearful wind and rain storm visited this
section, commencing on Saturday night and
continuing pretty much during Sunday. We
suppose 1t to be the cqunoctial storm Of this
period of the year, although the wind wns more
from the North than the East. In some sections
Of cur county thero was less rain than fell
week or two ago, whilst in other sections the
rain fall was heavy, the streams were very
high and much damage has been done thereby
to the growing crops Of corn, peas, sc. The
wind was fearful everywhere, blowing down
the corn, fruit trees, forest trees, &c.
The storm wns general throughout the
South as far as heard from. In the low coun-
try, where the cotton was open in largo
quantities, the loss is great by reason Of it
Having been blown out in the sand and dirt.
Higher up in the country, whero there was
less cotton open, the loss has been less. The
corn crop has suffered severely everywhere by
being blown down and high water. Fruit and
forest trees have been blown down oil over
the country anl the loss in this way and to
the crops will aggregate many thousands of
dollars Tho loss of life has been small

Oneo the prettiest, neatest and most subs
stantial houses of worship in Oconee County
is the Iiopewells Methodist Church, who'll
has just been recently completed. The sizc
of tho church 10 G0x40. Pephaps it would
DO Interesting to relate ON incident just here
which gave riso,ino doubt, to tho determine
tion on part of the people OF this neighbor-
hood to erect this church. In Maroli or April
1917, during quarterly conference. which
was being hold in the old church building
near by, the wind WIS blowing furiously
upon tho head Of tho preacher through a
large hole in the house just behind him.. Sc
uncomfortable and disagreeable did tho wind
become, that tho preacher stopped preaching
aud stuffed his hat in the hole to ward of
the wind aud oallcd to tho preacher n charge
of tho circuit and Informed him that ho must
never ask for another quarterly conference
at this place until he had a comfortable and
decent church to hold ono in. Shortly after
this event few members of the church and
its friends began preparations to eroot u new
church not far from where tho old building
stood. Not having any money. or at loaut
worry little, the progress was very slow.
Through tho energy and indomitable perse-
vorance Of q fow friends, however, aftor n
battle Of threo years, this beautiful church
stands erect, upon firm foundation, IN or
namcnt to the county, and beautiful tcsti~
moninl to ihoso who labored 80 diligently
without fee or reward. to it's accomplishment
gentleman has furnished US few items
how this church was built with scarcely any
money. All the material for the church was
donated and delivered on tho spot, except
about u kegs of mills, which cost s35 G5.
3OIf days of hired labor was employed which
cost S30l.29 which added to $35.G5 Tor tho
nails, makes $336.G4, tho actual money paid
out on tho church. Tho cost of all tho ma
terinls delivered on the spot for tho church
was about S903.75. The cost of the work
donated was estimated ut about $1,000, the
average price allowed per day being SO cents
The largest contributors to Tie church were
Mr. Thomas jenkins. who gavo about $2S5,
and Mr.. Il. a. Gilmer. who contributed
about 1882 Mr.. Z. s. jenkins, Mr.. John
Pickcns and other noblo spirits gave literally,
but wo did not get their estimates. Thus it
will be seen that here is d church, if it had
been let out by contract would havo cost no
doubt about $4,000, built for about $500 in
actual cash.

The Storm, &c.
NYEsrsrINsrER Seniep

WESTMINSTER, September II, 1882.
The late storm which has swept over tho
county has done great damage to crops. Upland
corn has been levelcd with the ground and the
blades so riddlcd that fodder saving will scarcely
pay at all. Bottom corn is greatly damaged by
high water, great bodies Of it lying under the
much swollen streams. Conneross Creek, near
Richland Station, is higher than it has been
since tho Juno freshet of 1876, and the once
noted crops thereon presents o distressing sight.
The damage cannot be told until tho water falls,
but the public may expect to hear Of serious
results.
There will be public exhibition at Greenfield
Academy on tho 22d of this month, given by
Mr.. Henry Davis, who has been teaching at that
place two years. Last year there was quito o

missed to mako the day enjoyable and tho public
