B6s~ We regret that we cannot give our
readers the official returns of the county
election. twas given to the correspondent
of city paper, who took it out Of town
and had not returned when we put the
T1MEs to press. We cannot help thinking
that the county paper and its readers were
entitled 10 the eturns before any foreign
paper.
We have since learned that the Commits
sioners of election did not make out tabu-
lated statement of the returns from each
box, but confined themselves to canvassing
the aggregate vote of the county, and the
democratic County Chairman has furnished
us the following:
Vote for Tillman. man...................,.. 2OT8
Vote for Haskell. COG
Majority for Tilman Ticket...... 1882
DR.. Robt. Little, ran few votes ahead Of
the ether candidates on the Democratic
ticket +; John r. Jefferies received the next
highest and G. b. Fowler the lowest vote
for the Legislature. All the other cani-
dates were about even.

delicate and dangerous matter to volunteer
advice to Farmers in the matter of holding
or selling their cotton, it is gratifying to
know that this year the financial condition Of
our Farmers is so much better than for
years past, they are enabled to withhold an
important portion of The crop from market
while prices are depressed. This We believe,
is one of the beneficial results of the Alliance
organization.
The farmers will very soon discover that
it is not politics nor legislative relief enact
ments they want to extricate them from their
depressed condition, but organization, unity
of action, helping each other, intelligence in
cultivating and marketing their crops and

lation can accomplish. The more the people
Of every calling arc taught to depend upon
their individual exertions, and the less they
arc taught to look to the government or
any other source, for relief or assistance, the
more contented, industrious, prosperous and
happy will they be. In eight cases out oi
ten, boys that are allowed to depend upon
their parents for food AMI clothing, and not
taught to rely upon their own exe-tions to
secure living, become poor, indolent and
indifferent specimens of manhood.
The same principle holds good in ell stages
Of human life and all vacations. The dollar
earned is valued higher than the dollar given,
particularly when you know that the next
dollar must be earned before you can get il.

An INDUsTRIAL SCHOOL For GIRLs.-We
take the following from au address by Mrs
Chaplin, before thew. Z. L. U. Convention,
at Nswberry, last week.
F. We want an industrial school where girls
can get good solid English education, and
at which they can earn living. The pecu-
mary dependence Of women often makes
marriage, which ought to be sacrement
resource. Girls should bo taught book
keeping, type writing, music, telegraphy.

visited in the home of young lady,
educated in an industrial c,llege, and to my
surprise learned that the beautifully carved
and upholstered furniture was all of her own
manufacture. She did not undcr> :and Latin

served her meals in the most artistic style
Her husband, who printed and edited q paper
having been unfortunate in breaking his

are many girls n our own State who only lac l

THE PLUCK OF YOUNG LADY.
There is o young lady, member Of ou

this Convention, who would be an honor t

LAID WITH Masonic HoNors.-Greenville
Nov. 6,-The corner stone of the Federal
building was laid here to-day with Masonic
honors, Grand Master Diver aud other

that used by General Lafayette in 1926 to
lay the corner stone Of the DeKalb monu-

that purpose. 1t contains an inscription to
that effect and the handle is decoratei by a
silk ribbon tied on by General Lafayette.

The Week Of Prayer.
We sincerely regret the small attendance

1t will be observed that the system OF
marks ha, been lately applied to the 4tll
and Sd grades, AMI but for the difficulty ol
estimating values in the recitation, of very
young pupils, would be extended to the 1st
and I'd Grades also.
We call to the attention of parents that
regular attendance is indispensable to the
progress Of their children, and continued
absence will necessitaie their being assigned
to lower grade.
The general working of the school during
the past month has been satisfactory, and
teachers rs well as scholars feel that their
efforts have been neither misapplied mol
fruitless.
