A Creamery near PendletOn.

a correspondent of the Grccnvillc
Ne'cs gives the following under date
of November 7th:
Mlampshirc Farm" near this place,
is now undergoing improvements for
a dairy and stock farm by it's owner,
j. G. Stribing. Among the new
Improvements and features of inter-
est arc creamery outfit that has
just arrived from Vermont and will
be in operation by the 1st of Janu-
ary or before, and n new "milking
parlor" ust finished which is a new
feature of the dairy farm and origi-
nal with its PROTECTOR. This "milk-
ing parlor" is detached from all
other buildings and located at a con-
vcnient distance between the COW
barns, and is used exclusively for
milking purposes. This building
is 10X20 feet and has two milking
stanchions, where two COWS can be
MIXED at the same time. These
milking stanchions are provided with
"anti-voiding attachments" Ga kind
of clasp that is dropped down across
the spine and flank of the cows.)
The building is kept as clean and
nice, comparatively speaking, as a
parlor, and is entirely free from foul
odors that pollutc milk when milking
is done in filthy place.
The feed used at this season TO
give the butter that desirable quick
aromatic or nutty flavor is equal
portions of corn and peas ground to-
gcthcr, early cut Bermuda and clover
hay with few hours each day on
green barley, grass and clover. Cot
ton seed in any form is not used for
butter making.
Mr.. Stribling is entirely against
the artificial coloring of butter and
says that everything else being equal
the natural color in butter is indica-
tive of quality in butter as much so
as it is in ripe mellow fruit; there
fore, artificial coloring or painting as
some call it, is a deception and to
that extent fraud and was not
necessary in poor or common butter
until the advent of giitcdgc Jersey
and Guernsey butter upon the mar
kct.

Our young people should get up
something entertaining for Christ
mas.
The other Saturday evening there
came very near being serious acci-
dent and might have been the source
of Miss Dclilah Wiley and her lit
tie brother being seriously hurt.
The horse became frightened and
ran away, throwing them both from
the buggy, breaking up harness and
buggy. We arc glad to know they
escaped with only few bruises.
Mr.. John Shcrcr is moving from
his place here to his old home in

WORDS TO THE FARMERS' ALLIANCE.

10 the Members of the Alliance

are approaching the close of the sec
ond year of the Juto Trust War
The trust is crippled but not defeat,
ed. 1t is organizing anew so as to
clude the State laws against trusts,
and the question now is, "What arc
'cc going to do about it?" Will we
now submit. ask pardon and plead
for mercy, or will We at once arrange
&c" TIC manufacture of cmouli.
Sto"aa'W cotton doggiasg, on the
best terms possible, to cover every
bale of Alliance cotton in the State,
and cooperating with our brethren
in other States the entire crop of the
cotton States next year, and in do
ing SO establish new manufacturing
lndustry-all our own-dcfeat the
Jutc Trust, and secure from the Cot
ton Exchange of the world an hon.
est tarc regulation?
Let each Sub Alliance i'm the State,
Mt its next regular meeting, express
its preference and have its secretary
report to me its action. | shall be
thankful for any information or sug-
gcstions bearing on the question.
If we are to continue and succeed
in this fight we should lose no time.
We hope to hear from every Sub
Alliance in the State before the fst
day of December, 50 that our posi-

Have Courage.

II cOnduccS much to our content
if we pass by those things which
happen to our trouble, and consider
what is pleasant and prosperous, that
by the representation of the better
the worse may be blottcd out. If
be ovcrthrown in my suit at law,
yet my house is left me still, and my
land, or have Il virtuous wife, or
hopeful children, or kind friends, or
good hopes. If | have lost one
child, it may be I have two or three
still left me. Enjoy the present,
whatsoever it may be and be not
soiicitous for the future, for if you
take your foot from the present
standing, and thrust it forward to-
ward to-morrow's event, you are in
Il restless conditions; it is like rcfus-
ing to qucnch your present thirst by
fearing you shall want drink the
next day. If tomorrow you shall
want, your sorrow would come time
enough, though you do not hasten
it; let your trouble tarry till its own
'imc comes. Enjoy the blessings Of
this day, if God sends them, and the
evils of it bear patiently and sweet,
", for this day only is ours, We
are dead to yesterday and not yet
born to the morrow,

Rebuked for Lying.
SENATOR HAMPTON ADDRESSES a
SCATllING LETTER TO "TIIE GOOD"
MIR. wANAMAKER.

The following letter was written
by Senator Hampton to Postmaster
General Wanamaker in reference to
the appointment of postmaster for
Columbia. The Senator sent COPY
of it to Postmaster Gibbes, and by
direction of its author, Major Gibbes
handed this copy to the Columbia
correspondent of the Ne'cs and Gou-
rier for publication.
1t is known to bc Il fact, says that
correspondent, although the Senator
does not state it in his letter to the
Postmaster General, that he was told
by Wanamaker months ago that Mr..
Edwin F. Gary, a moderate Rcpub-
lican of this city, who had received
strong endorsement from the bust
ness community, should succeed
Ma ior Gibbcs as Postmaster. In this
also the head of the Postoflicc De-
Partmcnt failed to keep his word.
Mr.. Clayton, an "Independcnt," was
appointed for reason which may be
guessed.
Senator llampton's pen is pitilcss,
as Sherman and others have found
before now. His letter to Wanama-
kcr, which follows, will maintain his
reputation as an expert exposcr of
hypocrisy and cant:
GLENN ALLEN, Miss, Nov. 8, 1889.
Hon. John Wanamakcr.-Sir
The enclosed extract from n South
Carolina paper has caused me great
surprise, for perhaps you may re-
member, if your memory is not
trcachcrous, your assurance to me IA
few days ago that Mr.. Gibbcs should
not he removed until the expiration
of his term, in February next. Not
only did you do this, but you volun-
tarily assured me that inasmuch as
Columbia was my postoilicc you
would, when successor to Mr..
Gibbes was to be appointed, consult
me.
1t is a matter Of small Importance
TO me who takes the place of Mr..
Gibbcs, but as | informed him, in
passing through Columbia, of the
promise you had made, you may per-
haps, understand how your action
has placed me in false position.
But it is fortunate for me that
Mr. Gibbcs will know that |, at least,
told him the truth, though | was
previously deceived in believing what
was said to me. | shall know better
in future what reliance to place on
statements cmanating from the same
source.
The newspapers state that besides
managing the great department over
which you preside, you arc running
a Sunday school in Philadelphia,
and it occurs to me that you might
with profit to yourself select as the
most appropriate subject of ! lee
turc to your pupils the instructive
story of Ananias and Sapphira.
This would give you a fine field for
your cloquence in explaining to your
young charges the Importance of
coniining themselves to the truth,
except where some fancicd advant-
age might be obtained over politi-
cal opponent. ! am your obedient
servant, WADE HAMPTON.

TOmassce Correspondence.
November Is. 1890.

LEAR COURIER AS L have Il little
leisure time, | will give you few
items from these parts.
The air is cool and invigorating,
but not cold.
The farmers of this section are
feeling joyous on account Of the un-
usually good yield of corn and other
crops.
News is scarce in our section, as
no one has been married or com
mittcd al offence against the laws OF
the State lately.
On Sunday, November 10th, the
protractcd meeting ut Bethel church
was closed and the Lords Supper
administered. Three new members
were received into the church.
The stiffness of the air is disturbed
nightly by the farmers hounds in
quest Of the palatablc 'possum
who doesn't like poSSum anyhow
The people Of this section have
about finished gathering crops and
are preparing for cold weather.
The leaves are nearly all on the
ground. SO it is about time for the
hunting season to come.
Winter is coming and all should
have some good paper to keep them
from being tired during the long
winter evenings. Well, why not sub
scribe for the COURIER, that old re-
liable county journal?
Our young gents quite often chase
the willy fox and the cunning coon
over the mountains and catch them.
Quite Il number of our citizens at
tended court last week.
The early frost killed the cotton
bolls which were not maturcd, thus
cutting off the cotton crop to grca;
extent. Ginncrs report a very light
yield, Judging by the number of bales
which they have ginncd.
The farmers are sewing oats and
wheat in considerable quantities.
Miss Alice G. Jones' school has
been closed temporarily on account
Of her health. We hope this flour
ishing school will be re-opcncd ut an
early day.
Our settlement is all right, except
that it is sadly deficient in post Office
accommodations. We need post
office badly, for it is inconvcnicnt
for our people to go nine or ten
miles to Walhalla for their mail
We do not remember of having
seen Il season as well suited on an
average to the farmers for the pur-
pose OF gathering crops. Some cold
residents" say we are "goin' to have
some mighty cold weather." Wcll,
who ever did see a winter without
cold weather?
There seems to have been a very
light crop Of sugar cane made i'm
this section this year. We think
cane is a paying crop, though.
Turnips do not seem to have done
well tins year, as a rule. This is not
Il very important crop, but turnip
"grccns" can he called luxury
sometimes. Cabbage was failure
with many OF our farmers this year.
1t is now time for the good pco-
pie to Jay in good supply Of wood,
at least til" air feels that way.
There being nothing else to say
at present, | will close. NJ.

A DAsTARDLY OUTRAGE.
A Deer Lodge Lawyer Tries to Disfr,n-
chise 800 Voters.

A Deer Lodge Lawyer Tries to Disfran
/ chise 800 Voters.
The new methods of registration apG
voting are all in the interest of the people
who want to impose burdens on demo
cratic electors. Both methods are rank
full OF partisanship and give opportuni-
ties to malicious persons to annoy voters
This was demonstrated lately IN Deel
Lodge county, where republican lawyer
challenged 800 voters. Judge Mcconnell
describes in the masterly speech which
he made in Helena Saturday night how
this shameful act was done. He said:
will tell you all there is in that. l
| have got here in an affidavit printed in
the Anaconda Standard of Sept. 2G, 1889.
The lawyer said at the time these men
we're registered there was no record in
Deer Lodge county, In the office of the
district court of Deer Lodge, that they
were naturalized and that there was none
at the time he made this affidavit, and
that therefore when these men swore that
they had declared their Intentions to be-
come citizens of the United States they
had not sworn to the truth, and that they
had not so declared their intentions and
that they were npt entitled to vote, Now
the fact is this To accommodate all
those voters there the deputy clerk went
to Anaconda, moving the books in blank
form OF declaration to become citizens
from the files there, iil order to afford
these men an opportunity to register, and
when he had finished his work he return-
ed to the office, and that book which is
the Official record of his office is on file
there and it contains the originals Of all
the declarationsof intentions which were
aff|ee,. mAde =. At the. time this man made the
j. records, but he tiiu snot ny AZ ue1 tis
and they are all there. This has been
the custom of this country ever since the
act of congress passed, and it is the prac
tice with all district clerks. l know that
the deputy clerk Of Jefferson county, Mr..
Horlow, has gone all round that county
and taken declarations of intentions in the
same way. The republican managers In
Anaconda profess to know nothing about
this, but whether they did or not, this
dastardly attempt to disfranchise 800 men
out Of their votes and every republican
paper in this territory SO far as | have
been able to learn, and notably the litter
Mountain is defending it and they excuse
this by saying. that they have not been in
the territory six months, which is untrue.
The democratic party do not fear reg
istration and voting laws. But they are
opposed to all partisanship in such mat
ters. The democratic party hold that the
laws should adapt themselves to the peo-
pie, who are the true source of power
and authority,

RACE RECEIVES A BROADsIDE.
Two Transactions Brought to Light Which
Damage Him Considerably,

Two Transactions Brought to Light Which
Damage Him Considerably.
Judge Race still staggcrs under the
broadside which he received on Saturday
when Joe Hamilton, in trying to down
others, made known that Race had taken
500 from McCurdie without trying him
and had never paid it over to the county.
Now, another grave charge is made
against Judge Race. On September 3D.,
1883, over year ago, Castillo, an Italian
laborer, arrested for shooting, was bound
over in $500 bonds to appear for trial
CASTILLO could not get the bonds, so Race
let him go free on his own recognizance
on his depositing $125 Castello gave
this money to Race, who has never paid
it over to the county!
Is this proper man to hold the re-
sponsible position of clerk of the district
court, with new duties added to It, con
corning the estates Of deceased people?
The matter is submitted to the considera-
ton Of business men and republicans by
this journal solely upon public grounds.
