Talks With Clarendon Farmers.

We saw Mr.. Wallace NJ. Plowden
Yesterday afternoon, on his return
from the Anti-Tillman conference that
was held yesterday in Columbia. He
says nearly all the counties were rep
resented, but that the meeting was
held with closed doors and the pro-
ceedings were secret. No convention
of Anti-Tillmanites will be called, and
no candidate for Governor was sug-
eested, but the decided preference Of
the conference was for General John
Bratton, of Fairfield. The idea is to
put strong man in the field to de-
feat Tillman. The representatives
from this county at the conference
Yesterday, were: Wallace NJ. Plowden,
of Manning; Samuel J. McFaddin, Of
Oakland; and J. Anderson Mills, OF
Wilson's.
Mr.. H. S. Briggs, of Silver, who
was in Manning yesterday, tells us
that capitalist has invested in con-
siderable tract of land around Silver,
and proposes at an early day to build
up the place This capitalist will
erect several stores and dwellings,, and
it is expected that Silver will at once
boom into young city. Mr.. Briggs
also expects to put up a large store
and possibly some other buildings.
Others are also speaking of building.
Mr.. Briggs thinks there is a bright
future ahead for this growing little
place. Tillman has accepted an invi-
tation to deliver an address at Silver
at an early day. The new school
house is nearly completed. The TINES
is very popular. Politics is all one
way.
Judge J. H. Mahoney who holds the scales
of Justice at Packsyills, was in town Mon
day and says that the crops are good in his
section, and that everybody is being at
tackled with Tillmania.
Mr.. J. J. Broadway, of Packsvil!e, was
in Manning Monday. He says that Mr.. W
r. White, of this place, has about completed
the new Baptist church at PacAsvile. The
people of his section are delighted with
the crop prospect. Next Saturday a picnic
will take place at Packsville, and the rail
road company has kindly offered the depot
building for the use of the picnicaers. The
political atmosphere is thick with Tlllman-
ism, and the people seemed determined to
make Nllman governor.

Eugene Fields Watches.

| went fishing in Wisconsin last August,
and fearful that harm might befall my gold
watch if took it with me, bought a Water
bury watch for s.. 50 and wore it. One day
dropped it in the bottom of the boat and it
came all apart, with a succession Of terrify-
ing reports. | never before saw SO symmet-
rical case of instantaneous and complete
dissolution. The larger intestine spread all
over the bottom of the boat and curled up
over the starboard side. As it lay quivering
and groaning there, l fancied for q moment
that l had shipped a monster eel or some
other kind of marine reptile l towed the
debris ashore and showed it to doctor from
Racine DIR. Davis, scientific man of pro-
found research), and he has assured me, after
critical examination and analysis. that the
intestine of the Waterbury watch closely re-
sembled the human bowels. being provided
with secum, a colon, a sigmoid 1e1ure and
all tnat sort of thing.
Some years ago had a great deal of quiet
fun with a watch Of my own devising. I had
Giles Bros. of this city, put a stiff spring into
large, hollow, silver watch case. Whenever
l turned the stem the spring would make a
noise loud enough to be heard thirty feet
away. used to wind up this awful thing
between acts at the theatres, and people won
dered what kind of q watch it was Oc-
casionally would let the watch drop on the
floor; then l would pick it up nonchalantly
and resume winding it. Eventually l gave
the device to Henry E. Dixey, the actor.
Just before going to bed at night is the time
wind my watch, and it is duty never
forget or neglect My watch gains five min
utes every two days, SO upon every second
day set it back five minutes, thereby cheat
ing the jeweler, insuring correct time, and
preserving my watch from baleful tinkering

A Heinous Proceeding.

That must have been a near relative of
Senator Call, Of whom Col W. Of the
engineer corps, told me the other day. The
colonel had been sent down to a certain
Florida stream, the Improvement of which
was contemplated in one of the river and
harbor bills, with instructions to gauge its
water. While engaged with his men in this
operation, an old fellow came along with a
cart drawn by single OK, on which was q
small quantity of wood. Hating his team
as he came near he said
What on 'arth hare them men doin' tharr'
Well" replied the colonel, 'they are try
ing to find out how many bucketfuls Of water
run down this creek in twenty-four hours"
The man gazed at the party in mute won
der and asked:
"Mister. are that factr
YES said the colonel, ''that is just what
they are doing"
After an earnest contemplation the man
shook his head and in grave tones replied:
'Well, mister, it do appear to me that that

A piercing shrek broke from the pallid
lips of his companion in misery, and before
the young man could prevent her she had
flung herself over the side of the car and dis
appeared.
Even in that dreadful moment his self pos
session did not forsake him. He stood erect,
with heaving chest and dilating nostril, and
took last, long, unflinching look at the sun
that shone in cloudless glory overhead. With
an exutant shout at the prospect of an I'M
mediate and happy deliverance from the fate
that threatened, he threw himself from the
car of the balloon and found himself mo-
ment later at home in his lonely bed. He
had eaten too much mince pie for supper.

A Washington Dispatch Claims That 1t
VIII BE Dangerously Near a Tic.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Slate returns
indicate that after March 4, next,
the senate will be dangerously
neal a tie. The big Repub-
lican majority of ID in the upper branch
Of congress may almost totally disappear,
and with the aid of such senators as
Plumb, Pettigrew and Paddock, the
Democrats would be able to
Control Tariff Legislation
in the senate as we'll as in the house.
The senate now stands AZ Republicans
and 81 Democrats. The new states of
Idaho and Wyoming will increase
this majority ID when congress meets
again in December. To overcome this
majority it would be necessary for the
Democrats to gain control Of the legis-
latures in seven of the states which
elect senators in 1891. This result is
almost accomplished. According to
present returns the Republicans have
lost the legislatures in New York, Wis.
consin, Colorado, Illinois and Kansas,
and possibly New Hampshire-siS
states. This would leave a Republican
Majority of Only Two
in the senate after March next. The
Democratic legislature of Wisconsin, il
is stated here, will redistrict the state 81
