The opening of our school has again en-
livened our little town and, the dull days
Of summer quiet anti leisure in business
will soon be forgotten. All Belton gladly
welcomes this season. It is time for the
return of our visiting ones, and ingath-

on first day was equal to expectation,
and the outlook is quite promising. This
is only the second session under the
present Principal, yet would be patrons
of good schools have iound where it will
be to their advantage and the pupils ben
eft to send. We hsye heretofore stated
that Belton will no5 be outdone in a
school, and present indications are that
she intends to sustain The assertion.
The hand of improvement is still busy
in Belton. The streets present very
different appearance since receiving
effective strokes under the efficient man
agement of Intende1.e D. A. Geer and Mr..
E. T. Breazeale.

with friends of his youth. They are de-
lighted to see him, aud wish that be were

We unintentionally worded our re-
marks about DR.. Todd's visit away and
prospecting tour so ss to convey the idea
to some that the Doctor thought of .leay-
ing Bolton. No, ao, we had no such
thought, and would fight hard to keep all
such men here. We couldn't afford to
hsye him go, even if ne should so desire.
We had in mind ths probability of change
of place of business, or in part, OF the firm,
Todd Bros, Druggists. The Doctor is q
member of this live firm. Their business
here is so good that they ought not to lis.

COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE,
a Grand Concert a. .nea Path.

Last Thursday, in Company with our
young friends, Eugene Milford, John Mat
tison and Robert Robinson, We went
down to Honea Path to attend the closing
Concert Of the Southern Normal Musical
Institute, which touk place that evening
in the Baptist Church. As is well.known
the Institute has been in session there for
three weeks, under tho Directorship of
Prof. A. J. Showalter, of Dalton, Ga,
whose reputation as thorough musician
now extends throughout the South. The
Professor Taught very successful Insti-
tute there last year, and this year he was
induced to come back again. The session
Of the Institute has been most pleasant
one, about seventy five pupils being en-
rolled, number Of w,aom came from a
distance. This cccasio- had been looked
forward to with pleasant anticipations by
the pupils, and at an early hour the
Church was comfortably filled by an ap-
preciative audience, small admission
fee being charged the spectators. A new
plano was secured for the exercises, and
Miss zula Brock, one of Due Vests ac-
complished daughters, mani pulated the
keys to perfection.
The following programme was rendered
Chorus-"Sing Glad Nosanna.''
Soprano Solo with Cherus-''Lord,w with
Glowing Heart I'd Praise Thee,' solo by
Miss Minnie Anderson.
Serenade- On
Male Chorus-'Star of the Evening
Duet and Chorus -"Jesus, Lover of My
Soul"
Anthem-"Great is tbs Lord"
Piano Solo-"Home, Sweet Home"
Miss Zula Brock.
Glee-"On, Gallant Company"
b Part song-"swing Meath The Old Ap.
pie Tree.'
Gospel song-"By and By"
!, Chorus -"Oh, Hush Thee, My Baby"
| Anthem-"Who are These in Bright
Array
Duet and Chorus-sC Christmas Carol"
Children's Part song--"How to Please
Jesus"
Lullaby-''Bye, Baby, Bye"
Quartette- Come Were My Love Lies
Dreaming" Miss Minnie Anderson, Mrs
showalter, Prof; Showalter and Prof. 81
Il. Watkins.
Piano solo-"R Rondo Capriso," Miss
Zula Brock.
Gospel Song-'The Cpen Gate"
Male Chorus The Soldiers Farewell >
Chorus Gathering Home.''
The above was indeed a very fine 'selec-
tlon, and the manner in which each and
every pupil sang his or her part showed
the thorough training which they hae
undergone, rejecting great credit upon
their accomplished praceptor. The play.
ing of Miss Brock showed her to be 9
young lady of very decided talent as 6
piano performer, and l&iss Minnie Ander
son fairly captivated the audience with
her sweet voice.
Just before the evenings programme
was concluded Prof. "a. H. Watkins step
ped forward, end in a few well-choser
words, in behalf OF The pupils of the
Institute, presented Prof. Showalter 9
waiter of flowers in the midst of which
was most beautiful silver cup. It wa!
evident that Prof. Shcwalter was agreea
bly, surprised. but he responded in feH
appropriate remarks, thanking his pupil!
for this mark Of their esteem for him.
The Concert was afghly enjoyed BY
every one present.

ATLANTA, GA, Aug. 26.-The national
cotton committee, consisting of one del
egate from each Of the cotton growing
States, held meeting in the Kimball
house to day. The routine proceedings
were secret, but enough information
was given to the public to show that
business of vital importance was trans.
acted.
The personnel Of the committee is
made up ofthe National Wheel, Nation.
al Union and National Alliance. The
object of the meeting was to devise ways
and means for increasing the price of
cotton. The committee was in session
all day. Mr.. r. j. Siedge, of Kyle, Tex
as, presided, and Mr.. B. M. Hard, Of
Ma ashYille, Tenn, acted as secretary.
The following resolutions were adop.
ted:
Resolued, frat, That the national cotton
committee recommend that the farmers
of the South sell no cotton during the
month of September, except what may
be absolutely necessary to meet obliga-
tions which are past due.
ResoIved, second, That the national cot.
ton committee instruct the president of
each sub.Alliance, Wheel or Union, or
some person appointed by him, to meet
the president and secretary of his county
Alliance on Saturday, the 28th day Of
September, at the county seat, for the
purpose of receiving instructions from
the national cotton committee.
"Resolved, third, That each State Sec.
retary of every cotton State be charged
with the duty ofplacing these resolutions
Immediately before their respective c0un.
ty presidents and charge all expense Of
printing and postage to the National Al
lance.
"Resolucd, fourth, That farmers be
urged to take special care in sbeltering
their cotton from damaging weather.
"Resolusd, fifth, That every newspa.
per in the South in sympathy with the
farmers is requested to publish these
resolutions"

It is whispered that the farmers will
be atle to carry out their plans, and
force the result desired. They will be
able to hold their cotton for any length
of time they may choose. The move.
ment is organized, with not only a solid
phalanx of CO operating membership,
but ample capital. The measures of the
Alliance, however, are conservative and
fair. While enforcing demand for
better price for their cotton they will not
be at the expense of their honest 9bliga.
tions. The cotton committee will meet
again in September.
