LOUISVILLE, Ky, July 9.-The fami-
" Of M. Watson, consisting of bis wife,
eight year old son and q fifteen months
old infant, we're burned to death near
Harmony, Kentucky, on Saturday night
in their beds, along with their house.
Mr.. Watson was away from home. The
fire was incendiary.
ATLANTA, GA, July 9.-Miss Geneva
Green, a young and beautiful art teacher
at West Point, suicided at Newman this
afternoon about $50 O'Clock, while in the
law Office of Wilcoxon g. Wright. She
shot herself through the heart. Miss
Green had been in Newman one week.
She has been teaching in West Point, and
her home is in Fairhaven, VT. No cause
is given for the suicide. She left MESA.
ges for Fred R. Green, Ogden, Utah, w.
H. Green, Fairhaven, VT, and r. w.
Wood, West Point, Ga. Her last words
we're: "Tell them I did no wrong" The
affair is involved in mystery.
SPRINGFIELD, OHIO, July 9.-Arthur
Busipger, farmer, aged twenty, went
out into the hay field last evening in the
face of threatening storm with farm
hand to get the hay before it got wet
The storm came upon them while at work
and bolt of lightning struck Businger,
killing him instantly. His skull was
crushed, a livid cross was marked on his
back and both his arms we're blackened.
The strangest work of the lightning was
the excavation of hole like q grave i'm
mediately behind Businger, into which
he fell. The other field worker was bad
ly shocked.
DENVER, July IA telegram reoeiY.
ed by the Mews from Ysleta, Texas, says
A pitched battle is in progress here be-.
tween two local factions, both of which
claim control of the town government.
They ksld ap election in April and each
side claimed the election. Both sets Of
officials were sworn in, end Tho toWn has
had two governments ever since. One
party led By an intelligent Mexican was
called the Peoples Party" and the 9th.
ey was led by a Hebrew named Gaal and
called the Republican" party. Several
fights have taken place, and it has been
expected thst the trouble would cnlninate
in q bloody conflict, which took place last
night. A later dispatch says the fighting
has ceased, but both sidea are holding
their ground ond it is impossible for any
one to venture out to discover the num-
ber of dead and wounded. A telegraph
operator there wires that be can count
six dead bodies from his window.

A dispatch from Washington, under
date Of the 18th inst, says Census Super.
intendent Porter is rushing the census
footings at the rate Of ten million names
per week, and it is believed that the jaco-
bin Republicans have scheme to pass a
new apportionment bill at this session.
Mr.. Porter has signifed his ability to
complete the census by the middle of
August, and the present lethargy on the
part of the Republican managers is said
to be the part of a programme to extend
tife session so as to cover the date on
which his work is finished. Some idea of
the incalculable advantage the majority
would reap from such scheme is illus
trated by the probable gain of eight seats
by theS State Of Nebraska which is repre-
sented now by two members. The popu-
lation of this State is said to approximate
two millions at this time.

|. We are suffering badly for rain. But
for that fact our crops are fine and all
clean.
The health of the Kingdom is pretty
Mrs. B. s. Watson has been quite i'll for
some time past, but we are glad to see her
on foot again.
Mrs. Mollie, wife Of J. P. Gambrell, is
improving slowly.
Mrs: Thos. PRESLEY is visiting friends
and relatives in Abbeville County. MIR.
;Thos. Link is visiting in the same County.
Mr. Wakefield, in company with
his brother and wife, visited Fort Hill
Saturday.
Jas. Henry is threshing wheat in the
Kingdom. o. W., the Bill man, realized
fourteen bushels Of wheat per acre. Who
can beat it this season?
David Gailla-d has moved in on us
Just in time to vote for Tillman, or any
other man. He and B. s. Watson have
gone into cohootnership in the blacksmith
Ing business. They pledge themselves to
shoe mules all round, heels or no heels.
Since I began these items / have had a
short call from my worthy, lifelong
friend, Nd. NJ. Manley, of Pelzer. he is
about as strong for Earle as lam for Till
man. We had quite controversy on
political issues, still ne parted the same
old warm friends we have been for many
years. Come again, "Milt," you will
always meet warm welcome at the
mansion.
Well, the political outlook is Tilman-.
ward and still getting Tillmaner. Our
Five Forks Democratic Club met on Sat-
urday last. The President being absent,
and there being no Yice.President elect.
we proceeded at once to elect ]. N. Rich
ardson to fill that office. Matthias Rich
and Joseph N. Wilson were elected as
delegates to the Convention to be held at
Anderson on Monday, the l4th inst.
Resolutions were then passed endorsing
the farmers movement and B. r. Till
man for Governor. Selah.
Politically We are quiet. We have no
bad blood to be set on fire Of sheol by
strot-gut" whiskey. We are all Demo-
Gratis, all farmers, and nearly all Tillman-
ties. We claim to be, as Mr.. Earle said,
the backbone Of the country. Yea, we
claim to be q little more than that Mr..
Earle said at the last campaign meeting in
Anderson that he was as good friend to
the farmer as Mr.. Tillman; that he re.
cognized the farmers as the back bone of
the country. But, said he, the farmers
are not backbone and ribs, too. Now,
will the gentleman or any Of his adhe-
rents please present US with sample Of
the ribs. Please tell US, oh ye anti-Till-
NANTES, what class or. classes it is that
can live independent Of the farmer? And
then give Us the class or classes the far.
mer can not live independent of. Now, if
the farmer is not back bone, ribs, heart,
liver, feathers, entrails and all of our coun-
try then my name is not SHANKs.

President Carr, of West Virginia State
Senate, has abandoned the Republican
party. He cannot stand the attitude OF
that party on the tariff question. Mr.
Carr was elected to the Senate four years
ago as labor Republican, and was the
hero of the famous deadlock in 1889,
which lasted four weeks, and resulted in
his election to the presidency of the Sen
ate. Mr. Carr is one of the most inlu.
entail men in the State.

He
were one hundred and six names enrolled, at lenst
two-thirds Of whom are simon.pure exclusive
farmers The meeting was very earnest but.quiet
and orderly. Six straightout delegates were elect
ed to tho County Convention, which meets on the
14th
The following resolutions were unanimously and
enthusiastically passed:
"Whereus, the convention which assembled in
the friends Of the Tillman Movement, departed
from the rules and pfecedents Of the Democratic
party of South Carolina by putting B. R. Tillman
In nomination for Governor Of South Carolina
mated by said Convention. and with other proml-
nent members Of the faction which II represented
have seen fit to asperae and lmpeaoh the honesty
and integrity of tho Democratic party and its adj
ministratlon of the affairs Of this state since 1876,
have arrayed class against class for the first time
In the history Of South Carolina have misrcpre-
sented the farmers Of tho State US to their opin-
ions and temper; have placed them In false po-
the State who pursue other avocatlons, and OF
seeming enmity to and distrust of the government
of South Carolina by the Democratic party since
1876, md havo otherwise sowed the seeds of dis
sension and distraction, seriously imperilling
ic party which alone protects the civilization of
South Carolina against Republican domination
and, whereas thero arc tn every County Of the
State large number of farmers who repudiate
those declarations and aspersions rs untrue unjust
and unpatriotic, and dissent from the methods OF
said convention tending to the disruption Of the
Democratic party and to political misrule and
ruin. Therefore
"Resoled That the stralghout Democratic Club
of Belton composed as it is very largely of farmers
do hereby condemn as irregular and dangerous the
methods pursued by the said B. R. Tiilman and
his lieutenants to capture the nomination ior
State officers.
''2nd. That the reflections cast upon the admin
istratlon Of the Stte government since 1879 in
the judgment Of this Club unfounded and mali
cious, and are dangerous to the welfare Of South
Carolina ned inimical to the true interest of the
farmers Us we'll Us of all other classes of citizens
"Third, That we appeal to our fellow farmers Of
the county and State and to all classes Of patriotic
citizens, TO cooperate with us In our efforts to
preserve Democratic supremacy In South Carolina
and to maintain intact the organization of the
Democra tic party, which is the guarantee of the
preservation of that supremacy.
"Fourth, That we instruct our delegates to the
County Convention, which meets on the 10th, to
support the primary plan of nominating dele.
gates to the State Convention.
fifth, That we condemn in emphatic terms
what is known az tho Suh-Treasury bill, Us inl-
