While bathing with two other little
boys last Sunday in Forked Deer,

Wyatt, got in water beyond his depth

very sad accident indeed, and should
be a warning to little boys to stay
away from the river unless older perN

Callahan Record: On last Saturday,

are very blue and say that unless they
nave sunshine soon the crops Will be
ruined beyond redemption.
There are floating rumOrs that the farm
hands IN Clarke county are organizing for
strike for an advance Of wages, now that
farmers are so badly in the grass. Such a
step would ruin both the hands and the
farmers, as they can scarcely afford 10
pay the price they do, owing to the low
price OF cotton.
In Meuwether county grassier crops
have never been known. Some farmers
say they have not been able to get in a

weeks. Cotton and corn on gray land are
greatly injured by the excessive rains.
Corn in bottoms isdamaged con siderably.
ON upland the corn has been badly blown

AT Greenville Friday the Couaty Farm
ers' Convention resulted in the formation
OF the GreeuVille County Club as a per-
manent organization. Hon. NJ. l.. Don-
aldson was elected President and DR.. NJ.
l.. West Secretary. The convention set
forth that the annual Stare and county
taxes are a grlevOus burden and adopted
resolutions that the salaries and fees OF
all public officers, State and county, ought
to be reduced; that all appropriations tor
the canal at Columbia should be at once
suspended; that the South Carolina Col
lege ought to be conducted on the strict
est principles of economy, that
tuition fees ought to be charged and
the appropriations reduced to this
extent, and that all proper aid to the
Department of Agriculture in said insti-
tuition, to develop its highest usefulness,
ought to be granted; that we are opposed
to any more appropriations for the Cita-
del Academy. Everything that is taught
therein is, or may be, taught in the South
Carolina College, except military tactics.

on the question OF primary elections for
all offices is expressed in the following
resolution, introduced by w. j. Mccain,
which was adopted without a dissenting
voice or vote: That this convention de-
clares in favor of primary election for
Governor, Lieutenant Governor and all
other State officers, also fer Congressman,
and to this end we recommend that the
Democratic County Convention urge the
adoption OF the primary plan for the Sc
lection of candidates for said offices by in
structing the delegates to the State Con-
vention TO secure this result if possible.

Northwestern Indians.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The commission,
composed of James r. Howard. Of the Dis
trict OF Columbia. and John 6. Walker, of
Virginia, appointed by the Indian office to
make an allotment of lands in severalty to
the Grow Indians in Montana, has return ed
to the city. The commission succeeded in
making 13l allotmentS as contemplated. A
large majority Of the tribe, however,
refused to abandon their tribal rela-
lions, owing principally, it is said, to the per-
nicious influence Of Sitting Bull and other In
dams from the Standing Rock agency who,
contrary to the orders of the Indian office, and
against the protest of the agents of the
Grows. left their reservations for the purpose
of defeating the objects OF the commission.
1t is said that an effort with the same object
in view will be made in the spring. The sec
rotary of the interior has received informal
ton that the commission appointed to secure
from the Indians on the Unatilla reservation
in Oregon their cons ent to the provisions of
the act of congress passed on March 3, 1885.
providing for allotment of lands IN severalty
to these Indians. granting patents therefor
and disDOsing of the surplus lands of the res
ervatiOn for the benefit of the Indians. has
been successful in every particular. Steps
will now lie taken to carry out the provisions
of the act.

J. NJ. Hannaford general freight agent OF
the Northern Pacific road, came home from
Chicago yeste. day, where he had been for
the purpose OF consulting with the managers
OF transcontinental lines regarding matters
of interest to them,
A meeting was held, but it was Of little i'm
portance, as no definite conclusion. could be
reached. The Western roads refuse to par
ticipate in the Pacific coast through rates on
the basis of the present percentages. A CON-
mttee, consisting of Messrs. Hannaford.
Stubs and Sweet, was appointed to consult
with Commissioner Blanchard, to see if some
basis satisfactory to all the roads could not
be established. II is hardly probable that the
difficulty will be settled very soon, as the
roads are not just sure OF what they want,
and there is great difference in opinion be-
tween the Eastern and Western lines regard
ing the basis on which the percentage should
be established.

The Alleged lotto Assassinate Him

.-His Welcome la the ~ est.
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 24.-Mr Egan, eX-
president of the Irish National league, was
seen to-day regarding the rumored conspir-
acy to assassinate Michael Davitt. He said
he believed there were good grounds for the
rumor, and that if evidence were wanted on
the subject il would be found by reading be-
tween the lines of a dispatch from New York
which appeared in the papers of yesterday
morning, villiIying Mr.. Davitt's character.
That dispatch. Mr.. Egan said, was made up
of untruths. For example, it states that Mr..
Davitt was badly received throughout the
West, including Nebraska. Every one here
knows. said Mr.. Egan, that no public man
ever received more cordial welcome, or left
behind him better impression in Nebraska
than Michael Davitt. MIR. Egan says that
while O'Donovan Rosa may be personally
mixed up in the plot, the cOnspiratorS are
not very far removed from him. The differ
ence between FInerty and Davitt Mr.. Ezan
regards as simply an honest divergence of
opinion between good men as to policy and
methods. But the attack of O'Dopovan
RuSsa he characterized as mean and con-
tempthle. He says that ROssa's only ex-
PLOTS for a considerable time have been to
utter empty threats and fire Off blank cart
ridges at En- gland, and TO pelt wind at sensi-

ST. VINCENT, NOV. 24.-Rey, NJ. n. Gilbert,
D. D., of St. Paul, assistant Episcopal bishop
of Minnesota, arrived at st. Vincent on the
afternoon train on Friday. In the evening a
reception was held at the rectory from 8 to 10
o'clock, at which great number of the cti-
zens of st. Vincent and Pembina, Oak, were
present. On Saturday Rector Appleby and
Bishop Gilbert went to Ha. lock, the county
town. where they organized mission by the
name of st. John. and salary of $3.50 per
annum was guaranteed. The bishop proved
himself a thorough and practical tinancier.
4 reception was given by the congregation, lat
which a large number of citizens and friends
from the country attended and heartily wei
coined the bishop, who spoke most kindly to
every one present. At 1880 q. II. on Sunday
divine service was held in the school house,
which was flied to its utmost capacity.
The service was hearty and the music
excellent. Miss Annie c. Thompson pre-
sided at the organ. Confirmation was held
and the holy communion administered TO d
large number. AT O'Clock p. III. divine SER
vice was held at Christ church, st. Vine ent.
There was scarcely seating capacity for the
large congregation which attended. Rev. j.

secration service after which twelve appli-
canIs were confirmed, tne DlSnop IS auuresS 10

est. Bishop Gilbert p cached fine sermon,
as he also did at Hallock in the forenoon
Both sermons were thoroughly appreciated
by the congregations. At 1880 p. M, the
bishop preached an eloquent aud impressive
sermon, which touched the hearts of many,
at the city Of Pembina, Oak, and it is safe TO
assert that no public man ever left these
communities leaving behind him more kindly
feelings, and bearing with him more hearty,
earnest wishes for his welfare than did the
young, eloquent and magnetic bishop of st.
Paul, on this his first visit to the most north
erlv part OF his immense diocese.
