Capt. J. N. King spent a couple of
days in town last week. The Captain

Miss Clara Sharp's school exhibit
ton attracted quite a number from
Due West. We understand the eXer-
cises were interesting. Maj. Nance
made speech, being called on.
Decoration day was observed mere
on last Tuesday on account OF the ram
on tho 10th. It was the most interest,"
ing occasion of the kind we have at
tended. Prof. Hood made a speech,
followed by DR.. Grier, who also read a
poem. Miss johnson of the Female
College read most charmingly o poem
written by q Confederate soldier on
the back of a Confederate note. Prof.
Hood deserves credit for the interest
he annually takes in this sad occasion.
The report of the State Convention
in the Nesos and Courier created con-
siderable excitement in Due West. 1t
was a matter of surprise that portion
of Abbeville's delegation went back on
Tillman and the Primaries. And also
that not single one of our delegation
came to his rescue when he was COM
batting 80 many. Tillman has risen
largely in our estimation. He made q
gallant fight. The farmers from one
end of this State to the other should
nobly come to his rescue. They
should see to it that the next light
Tillman makes he have the voters
(those that will stick to him) to back
him. He was right in his tight
against the ring and the nabobs. All
honor to Tillman. He makes good
showing as reported in the Neaos ana
DR.. w. M. Grier spoke before the

We received progam announcing
the exercises of the dedication OF
Trinity church, Atlanta, Ca, which
took place recently. DR.. Lee the pas
tor was to preach the sermon. The
exercises consumed the day and were
interesting.
DIR. Latham preached character
istic sermon last Sabbath on Judas
Iscariot." :,
There were services last Sabbath in
the Associate Reformed church, morn
ing and evening Notwithstanding the
rain.
A crowd of anglers went to Martins
Mills last week. IQ. Cowan galloped

Major Pearson has placed squad of
hands under Mr.. P. R. Henry who
has taken charge of the street depart
ment and will do some excellent work.
DIR. Edward Cowan and Mr.. Brock
have been appointed q card o1
Health. They will shortly visit the
town on a tour of inspection. This
"localn has Had his lots cleaned off 4
times since Christmas and his pig pen
put 80 high that cyclone will have to
hunt for 1t.
The announcement that the South
Carolina College has 25 ''tax eaters" is
an eye opener. Let the Press and
Banner open it's batteries on this out
rage. We hope Tillman and the Far
msrs will clean out this Augian stables
completely this Fall. We don't see
any hope of reform from any other
quarter. Let the people send up rep
rssentatives to the Legislature who
will stand by their interests.
Does any body believe that Able
vile county, could send to State
Convention 10 more men than she
ought to have there? Or could send
two Senators to the Senate The
Charleston delegation, and the Ne0s
and Courier would turn things
"wrong side out" first. Yet Charles
ton clings to these wrongs.
