Our respected neighbor, the Greenwood
Tribune, in its blind hate Of Mr.. 4. +. Hill
seems now disposed to speak contemptuously
OF the farmers as an organized body for the
reason that they endorsed the action OF tne
grand jury in their presentment. We feel
quite sure that our friend last week made ut
terances In reference to the farmers which
does not reflect his true sentiments. we
know In the past, that the editor Of the 1r''
b,tne has been great friend of the farmers
and we are not ready TO believe that he would
now Intentionally express contempt Tor an
organization Of which he himself was so late
ly champion, and before whom he so re-

sive eloquence.

III. EpistIe OF PhiIetus.

l. In the sixth year OF the reign OF Grover
the Great, in distant part Of his kingdom
there was great gathering together Of the
scribes and pharisees, and also Of the chic
dispensers of justice, and many, whose bust
ness 1t is to plead before the bar of justice
cases wherein much money or many acres o.
land are In dispute-3nd who, by their great
eloquence and much learning succeed in en-.
never a talent wherewith to pay their Just in
debtedness at the tavern. : ~ .
2. And this great gathering together was
for the appointing Of q certain number Of
scribes and pharisees the purpose Of look
ing over scrolls, parchments and scripts ot
those high In office (which thing was done
yearlyl to see that oil the tithes, and taxes
had an honest accounting.
8. And 1t came to pass that these men COM
muned within themselves, saying, "Whe
among us is an expert, that we may prevail
about among themselves, and the choice fell
on one philemon, O Pharisee, and one who
was reckoned among the scribes.
4. And P-Htll-enon went and came into
the place OF justice, and he brought with
him his stilus and ink-horn, and set himself
to his task.
s. Now, when he was come to certain of.
fcer's scrolls, scripts and parchments, and
found wherein he had set down certain
things wrongfully, and other things he had
failed TO set down, he marvelled greatly; but
when he came to another, and yet others
again, he was very much wrought upon.
Notwithstanding he set every lot and little
down wherein the servants had not faithful.
ly served the people, and delivered the writ
Ing unto the chosen men OF the Pharisees.
6. Now, these men high in Office knew that
the writing Of P-Hill-emon would be printed
in the principal paper of the district, and
that oil the people thereof would thereby
hear OF 1t and be very wroth, and they were
afraid; yen, verify, their knees smote togeth-
er. And they commuped among themselves,
saying: "Lol we are undone; we have held
these offices OF the people o long time, yea,
even many years, and Of such things we have
never been accused before; we shall have to
explain to the people; yea, even answer ar
gument for argument.
7. And each one sat him down and an.
swered everything wherein he had been ac-
cused by p PHill-emon; and they said one to
another, "This writing will now make Us
solid with our constituents; yea, verify, we
shall have an easier walk over than ever"
8. Bnt the people spake with one voice,
and 1t sounded as from the four corners Of the
district: go to! thou unregenerate genera
ton OF ofIice-holders; thou hast been unfaith.
full In things small, how shall we trust thee
in greater? There are many good Dem.
ocrats of the Pharisees who would serve us
faithfully in small as well as great"

about three years ago. They brought with
them q large Carolina trade. They have gard

They are considered headquarters for goods

by selling at the very lowest market price.
The bagging and tie business done by this
house, IN the last thirty days, Is immense.
III their business continues in the future as IL
has been In the past, this house will sell over
n hundred cars bagging and ties this reason.
The trade will save money by getting Rogers
