Damage to the Rice Crop.

The News and Courier says: From
all sections OF Georgetown county re-
ports are coming in Of the great
damage which has been done to the
rice crops by the recent terrible spell
of weather. 4 combination OF IN
fortunate circumstances, such as an
east wind, q freshet in the rivers,
and an almost continuous rain, has
caused the waters to overflow nearly
every plantation in the county. Rice
is floating about in the fields, or be-
ing swept into the rivers and COM
pletely lost. Some Of it which was
stacked is sprouting, and all Of the
rice which had been cut is consider
ably injured. twenty-five or thirty
per cent. will scarcely cover the dam
age, amounting in dollars and cents
to about S150,000.
The accounts from the Cooper
river and Ashepoo sections Ste no
better, And the Savannah News
gives similar di~seouraging reports
concerning the crops along the
Savannah and Ogeechee rivers.

was an immAase fellow with pointed
fangs, which is supposed to be the
king of the Tube. After he was killed
it wa, found that he had twenty-seven
rattles and a button, which indicates
that he was at least about twenty
eight years old. The others had
from ten to Twelve rattles, and this
fact shows that the monsters have been
habitating the rocks for years. MI.
Corley stated that those that have
been killed are hardly a circumstance
to the number that inhabit the rocks,
and he says that one of his farm
hands counted twenty or more Of
these large reptiles a day OF so ago

the class of white people they sup
port is their real protection.
Friends may raise a great cutlery
against any allusion to colored voters.
I ask them is it without precedent?
I ask them and some of the most vi.
rulent to name the municipal cleo
tions outside, perhaps, of Charleston
and Columbia, when this vote has
been called to the front? I ask for
the returns on the elections held to
impose the bonded debt for the con-
structions of railroads and other pur-
poses during the last twelve years.
These returns will show that the
Democrats whose interests were at
stake did not hesitate to outvote the
taxpayers by the aid of the colored
voters.
To end it in a word: It seems to
my humble Judgment more import
ant at this day to oppose the election
of Mr.. Tillman than it was tooppose
the election of Mr.. D. II. Chamber
lain in 1876. Friends, loved and es-
teemed, charged me then with folly
or madness. l will be charged in
like manner now. The results Nndi
Gated my judgment then. Goo only
knows the future; but my conscience
is my law, and no party will or race
terror shall strip me Of the right to
say or do what my sense Of duty
dictates. .

Judge Haskell's Letter.

He ADVISES Extreme Measures to
Defeat Tillman.
Judge A. c. Haskell has written q
long letter to the News and Courier
upon the political situation in the
State, urging the Anti Iillmanites to
run an opposition ticket. His reasons
for further opposition to Mr.. Tillman
are substantially the same as those
on which the opposition during the
campaign was based. In conclusion
he says:
therefore unequivocally advocate
an opposition ticket, to organize a
minority if we can do no more, but
to control the governmental possible.
With this Democratic ticket in the
field we should ask the support and
maintain the rights Of colored voters
as we did in 1876. I would not mis-
take the colored people. The white
man controls the property and will
control the government, but when
the white race divides it is Is ques-
ton with the colored race which party
will best govern the State. On this
their vote must depend. The
wrctched spectacle Of purchase and
bribery is almost sure to follow.
Therefore [ wish that the race could
be disfranchised if we could have q
guarantee of their protection. But
that is impossible. Their right of
suffrage is their nominal protection;

A Fishing Excursion Party.
For The Lexington Dispatch.

an
Nh. Editor: INTELLIGENCE has just
reached US of a fishing eN
party on the waters Of Black cres@
in Jones upper pond, known as the
new mill, Oh Thursday, September
29th, 1890. The party consisted Of
Messrs, j. W. Scofll, Sumter Sally
and Goyan Gpnter sAAstlS after
for the water and left everything
ashore pole and troll hook, Or bob,
which was played to and fro by that
clever, good looking and ex-
pert fisherman, Mr.. Sumter Sally.
On their way down stream to the
mill, Mr.. Sally made a catch Of
twenty-five Of the fny tribe which
he says beat any catch Of the kind
he has made this season, Shortly
after the conclusion CT the days work
they called on Mr.. John Mccarthy
and family and were soon summoned
to a dinner that fully explained why
the ladies of the Black creek section
are generally the plumpest, falrest
and most sweet tempered Of their
sex. It was nearly 4 o'clock before
the banquet ended, and
the low declining sun warned the ex-
c~ursionists that it was time to break
cam, but late as was the hour all
gladly deferred their departure for
another half hour to listen to an
impromptu concert organized by
some of the party and recruits that
came in, who sang a number OF pa
triotic, sentimental, comic and other
melodies, the rest of the party join
ing in the chorus when their hap
pened to be a chorus. In fact every
body was 50 full Of music that as
the carriage rolled away Ii Of the
party turned brian O'Lynn" into a
sheep shearing song, and above the
noise of rafting wheels the listeners
heard how
Brian O'Lynn had no breeches to wear.
So he bought him a sheep skin to make
him a pair,
