Our Seneca Correspondence.

SENECA, S. c., May 18th, 1s90.-
a number of friends and relatives
assembled on Monday, 18th instant,
at the residence Of Mr.. j. A. Ballcn.
ger, near Bachelors Retreat, to Join
with Mr.. and Mrs. B. in celebrating
their wooden wedding. The weather
was fine and the company pleasant
and congenial, the dinner was fine
and altogether it was a delightful
occasion. A great variety of pres
ents, made of wood, were on exhibi-
tion-articlcs both useful and orna-
mental. 1t was the unanimous wish
of the friends that this estimable
couple might live to celebrate many
more anniversaries.
In the absence of DR.. Manly,
Prof. Ackerman preached in tic
Baptist church last Sunday. Those
who heard him were much pleased.
There was no preaching in the
Methodist church last Sunday and n
large part of the congregation
joined the Presbyterian congregation
in an interesting sacramcntal service.
The Rev. j. p. Marion will go to
Anderson to preach next Sabbath,
consequently there will be no preach
ing that day in tho Presbyterian
church.
Tho stores of Seneca close now
every evening, except Saturdays, at
6 o'clock. r.

Hicks for May.

The following predictions arc pre-
pared for Word and Works, edited
by Rev. Ira b. Hicks, and being
copyrighted arc published in the At
lanta Jonmol under special arrange
mcnt with the author:
Full moon on the 4th, 3 o'clock D.
M; last quarter on the 11th, 10 a. M. :;
new moon on the 18th, 2 p. m.; first
quarter on the Goth, 4.4O p. m.
The disturbance originating the
last OF April will reach it's climax
about the first and second of May.
1t will be very warm between April
10th and May 4th, not covering the
whole country at the same time, of
course, but starting in the West and
causing a high temperature, by turns,
over the whole continent in it's pro-
grcss to the East. Storms of much
energy will result after the same pro-
grcssivc order, with very cool wave
following in their wake and reach
ing the Atlantic about the night of
May Sd. The rcactionary move
mcnts will be central on the 9th,
touching the 9th and 7th ; in their
Eastward progress with rising high
temperature and storms. The regu-
lar fall of temperature will follow,
in all probability reaching the frost
line in the North about the 9th, 7th
or 9Th.
The second marked storm period
for May is from the 10th to the 18th,
Mercury and "Vulcan" are both cen
tral on the 10Th. The equinox of
Mars reaching forward from the 26th
has come upon tho field, and the
moons last quarter is on the 11th.
The factors, combined with the fact
that we have not yet passed out of
the Jovian period, unless there are
neutralizing forces in the combina-
ton unknown to us, indicate storms
OF very great energy about the 11th,
18th and 14th. Within the limits
here given, dangerous storms arc
more than liable to cross the country,
leopardlzlng property and lives.
Should such arise, there will be
timely tokens of thcir approach, and
ample time for all prudent sclf-dc-
tense. to those who count tho sub
ject of suificicntimportancc to watch.

Thore will be an adjourned meeting of
the Walhalla Camp p. o. S. of "A. at tho
Masonic Temple this ('rhursday) evening
Mt 8 o'clock for tho initiation of candi-
dates. A full attendance Of members is
desired, also that all applicants present
themselves for initiation Mr.. s. Mel
linger, of Mts Pheasant Camp (Pa.), ex-
poets to visit the Walhalla Camp to wit
ness the ceremonies.
On Tuesday afternoon, in the cemetery
of the Walhalla Baptist church, was laid
to rest all that was mortal of George
Lattimer Beard, who died at San Antonio,
Texas, Oil Sunday, ttii instant. Tho
body, was shipped by express to this
place via st. Louis, arriving Mt Seneca on
the noon train Tuesday, where it was
met and conveyed to Walhalla in tho
hcarsc. Ho was in his twenty-seventh
year, having been bolI August I'd, 1868,
and was thus in the primo and yigor of
young manhood. When fourteen years
old he joined tho Walhalla Baptist church,
and has ever remained consistent NOM
Dor of tho church. For tho last several
months he had boon great sufferer, be-
ing long laid low by spell of fovor, and
when convalcscant ho was attacked by
the grippe, which developed into pleuro-
pneumonia, tho Immediate cause of
death. Well do wo remember 'Iattie"
as we sat with him as class-mate Tor
ono year in Adgcr College After COM
letping tho sophomore year in June, 1880,
ho studied tclcgraphy, and by close appli-
cation soon became master of the art.
He went West, where he at once took
| high rank among tho operators. In the
| meantime, having studied tho Spanish
language so that ho could speak it flu
emily, he was soon transferred to an
important Office in Mexico, where the
operator was required to speak daily both
the English and Spanish languages. He
spent four years in Mexico and tllon re-
turned to tho Northwest, having for tho
last few years made his home in Michi-
gan. About II year ago ho married a
Miss Adams, Of Marquette, Mich, who
survives him. The past winter they
spcnt i'll Texas Oh account of his health,
which demanded a milder climate than
that of his home But disease works
death in every cline to the young and
strong rs well as to the aged and feeble,
and his life, so full Of promise and hope,
was cut short in tho midst of his years.
Many friends of his boyhood and early
youth gathered at the Baptist church on
Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock to
attend the last sad rites over Ills oofffiiio,'
form. The impressive funeral services
were conducted by Rev. j. E. Fogartie.
TO his aged father and mother and other
relatives arc extended the sincere condo
lencc of many friends.

Prohibition in Georgia.
[From tho New York Herald.

FROM GllC NOW DIX Herald.
ATLANTA, May 7.-Gcorgia Con-
gressmcn are going TO nave Il hard
row to hoe i'll their races for re-elcc-
ton. The active and aggressive
part the Farmers Alliance has taken
in requiring candidates to swear
allegiance to some of the pet schemes
has been thorn in the flesh Of the
members of the Georgia delegation,
for they cannot afford to ignore the
eighty thousand Alliance men in
Georgia. Now there looms up an
other element equally menacing.
This is the temperance or prohibi-
tion element. The State Temper
ance Society will meet in Atlanta
Thursday. The object of the meet
ing, it is understood, is to take action
upon a proposition to put prohibj-
tion candidates in the field.
Tho recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court concerning
the rights of express companies to
deliver to the cons gnccs all pack
ages sent through them is regarded
as death-blow to local option in
that it transfers tho supply houses to
points outside the State. Under this
ruling tho jug train can run, and
with the jug train running the sue
cess of local prohibition is impossi-
bic. This transfers to Congress the
power of accomplishing anything in
the line Of effoctivo suppression of
the liquor traffic, and it is proposed,
therefore, to send prohibition mem
bcrs to Congress.
The plan rs outlined by leader
in the movement is to demand of
candidates for reelection that they
favor legislation looking to prohibi-
ton, and if they do not, prohibition
candidates will be put in the field.
The great strength of the prohib-
ton movement in Georgia makes
this threat real weight. The Gcor-
gia Congressman are, therefore, be-
tween the devil and the deep sea
this time-that is to say, they arc
between fire water and cold water
