1.-THE candidate Lancaster presents

thorough, and he is successful IN a
marked degree in the management OF

ecu i've committee. We cheerfully com,
mend him to the voters of the entire

EXCELSIOR NOTES.

Monday was rainy day.
Mrs. J. G. Singley went down to her
fathers Saturday to spend a few days.
The fruit crop had another severe
trial last week, yet hopes are that some
has escaped the recent cold wave.
March has indeed been disagreeable
month; plenty of wind, rain and cold
weather; hence farm work has been
somewhat retarded.
Mr.. James d. Kinard, Of Ncwberry
College, will return home to-day to
spend Easter.
Owing to the recent cold weather the
seeds that we've sown by some of our
early gardeners still remain invisible
Now who is to blame the seed, the
sower, or the soil for not sending them
forth.
Mr.. NJ. NJ. Long of the Ridge Road
section, was visiting in this community
few days ago. Mr.. Long informed US
that owing to the abundance of rain
farm work was rather backward in their
community.
AS this is election year candidates for
office should begin to bud and bloom.
We have no objection whatever to any
of the offices now filled but our people
should be very careful how they cast
their votes at the coming election and
send men that will suit the people as
we'll as have it said "tre office is filled.n
There will be communion services
held at Mt. Pilgrim church next Sun
day. We have been informed that a
s,rvice will be held at the above named
church each evening during this week
at I o'clock preparatory to the Easter
communion on Sunday.

PROSPERITY LETTER.

Our sick are some better, still they |
improve very slowly.
The infant child of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ezekiel Taylor died yesterday, Wednes-
day, from the effects of measles.
Mr.. Jos. Hunter has purchased
building lot in town from Mr.. D. NJ.
Langford, and will begin to build at an
early day.
Rev. c. \. Morks, is holding special
religious services in his Mt. Pilgrim
church during this week.
At 4 meeting of citizens on Monday
evening the following gentlemen were
nominated for town officers G. G. De
Walt, Intendant; G. \. Maffett, ]. W.
Bowers A. G.. Dominick and II. l..
Schumpert, Wardens.
Rains, rains, yes it rains and it pours.
The fountains seem ineXhaustible. The
result is the streams are swollen-the
low lands flooded, uplands as wet
as rain can make them, and the
whole farming interest is greatly re-
tardcd. But these things are all right
!! and we should be happy and serene.
Quite q number of persons had in
tended to attend the State Sunday
School Convention at tSpartanburg, and
the State Convention Of the Y. NJ. G.
\. at Florence, but the Richmond
and Danville system saw fit and proper
to offer almost no inducement in way
of reduction of fare, so that the great
majority will not be able to attend.
The railroads may be correct in this
matter, but the public does not regard
it in this way.
We observe two unhealthy signs
among our farmers. The first is the sell
ing of cotton seed to the oil mills, and
the second is the purchase of too much
commercial fertilizers. Time and expe-
rience only will right these two evils.
We are opposed to selling cotton seed
from lands on any conditions whatever,
we are not opposed to the judicious pur-
chase and use of commercial fertilizers,
but we are decidedly opposed to the
wholesale purchase Of these fertilizers,
and then to secure the payment there
for, give lien "on all crops of whatso-
ever kind grown on said plantation" If
our farmers would be prosperous, and on
sound financial basis, these two things
must be strenuously avoided.
w. S. Bilge has rather a novel way
setting with thieves. Some time ago he
caught a negro stealing hat from his
store. Billie acted promptly and de-
cidedly. He gave the thief the choice
between an indictment for petit
larceny or certain number of stripes
we'll laid on. The darkey chose the one
quickest performed. Billie took him up
stairs-darkey undressed, stretched
himselfacrossa box, and Billie piled the
lash right we'll until he had struck him
fifty, when that thief arose, if not a
wiser, certainly much sorer nigger.

Coming as it did, when the people
were looking for signs of spring, the Sc,
we're snow and wind storm which ragged
all to-day in northern Wisconsin, Min
nesota and Dakota seemed especially
unpleasant. 1t approached from the
southwest, being driven on 1t the rate
of thirty miles an hour The snow,
which is very heavy and packs easily,
has fallen to the depth of from three to
five inches. In st. Paul it began falling
at 10 o'clock this morning, and contln-
ued until dark. Street-car travel was
abandoned, and pedestrians eXpee-
rienced great difficulty in making their
way about the streets. The tempera-
ture remains comparatively mid.
Tra:' on most of the railroads are from
one - seven hours late, while traffic on
the Hastings and Dakota and on the st.
Paul and Kansas City roads has been
wholly abandoned. The storm appears
to have been especially severe i'll south,
ern Minnesota. In places the railroad
tracks are covered from five to fifteen
feet, and country roads are we'll nigh
impossible.
