ETA JANE, April Last Saturday we
had before our Trial Trial Justice Court one
Of those pestiferous cases that no doubt
many Of our farmers have 10 contend with
these days. It was somewhat, but not alto
gether similar to the ono reported few
weeks ago. Capt. 8. 8. Walker had hired
Cardoza Fowler, q minor, from his father
Emanuel Fowler, on or about the Sd of

Mr.. Gallman and no is the offendiog party.
It's great pity that unoffendiug parties
should be dragged into litigation simply
because an irresponsible laborer should
abuse his privileges Of making contracts.
II is to he hoped that our Legislature at it's
next session will 80 amend or revise section
2O84 II. g., that the punishment prescribed
for offenders will come within the puryiev
Of the constitution. A law that prescribes
one punishment for the landlord and
another for the tenant, lin tho same easel
can't be just or constitutional.

Death Of DR.. D. r. SartGr.

] Tho first intimaticn that We received Of
------- EIvvrurvu, Iu iss.
paper, whore he died, which wa, handed 10
us by Col. McKissick, with a request from
tho beroaved widow that we publish it.
Both the DR.. and his excellent wife were
well known by large number of our read
ers. Mrs. Sartor was the daughter of the
late Henry Dunn, of thi. County:
Dr. ID. II. Sartor was born in Union County
South Carolins, March 13, 1922. He moved
to Mississippi in September 1867, and died
there February Is, 1890. He loved his profess
sion and tho skill aud success with which
he practiced il. reflected honor upon him.
lie employed his time and skill lsrgely in
alleviating the suffering of humanity, even
when there was no hope or prospect for earth
ly reward; but his noble spirit, around
which clustered so many of the intellects of
our day and generation, has "gone to that
bourne from whence no traveller returns -
his acts, his works, his life are the monu
ments that do him honor. His heart was as
tender rs child's. his mind as liberal as il
was far-reaching, his spirit as mighty as il
was jnst--H la has laid down the burden of
life and assumed tho higher and grandsr form
OF spiritual existence. His life is spread be-
fore us rs beautiful picture, from the con-
temptation of which we arise with purer
feelings, more charity to our fellowman, and
a more exalted opinion of mankind. tic
died full of years and honors, and like Richie
lieu, retained to the last that extraordinary
vigor Of intellect for which lie was 60 noted.
ellis life was gentle and the elements 80
mixed in him that Nature might stand I'D
and say to the world, "This was man."

COLI. c. Colt, who was nominated for
Lieutenant Governor tst tho recent couveu-
tion in Columbis, has sent the following
letter:
CHERAw, s. c., April 2, 1890.
Captain 9. w. Shell, chairman, and others,
Executive Committee OF the Farmers
'sGentieus en-lravine waited 4 rsasonabes
time for an official notification Of tho action
Of the March Convention in placing my
name before the people as q candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, aud not having re-
ceivcd such notice, deem It not improper
to address this communication to you.
While fully appreciate the unsolicited
compliment which has been paid mo aud
desire to express thanks for this evidence Of
confidence, yet, am satisfied that my name
was put forward under q nisap preheu sion.
1t cannot be doubted that the purpose Of
the convention ives to place up n the ticket
men who were in full sympathy with the
letter of the chairman Of the Executive
Committee of The Farmers Association
Captain Shelly in calling the convention
| together-meu who fully endorsed the plat
form adopted, and who could aud would
canvass the State upon the Issues thereiu
made.
Without referring 10 any objections had
to the letter Of Captain Shell, or my views
as to the policy Of making nominations at
| this time, it will be sufficient for me to say
that do not fully endorse the platform,
aud for this and other sufficient reasons
l--.,~.-i- -s-A----r-- --~--.~. An its$ support
as require by the eleventh section OF the
| platform.
In justice, therefore, to myself as woll a.
in justice to the body whose executive you
arc, beg leave to withdraw my name from
the ticket suggested. This action will also
relieve you of all embarrassment In substi-
tutiug man who will represent the views
which prevailed in the convention.
1t Is but proper for me to say here that
am wholly identified with the agricultural
interests of the State and am in full sym
pathy with the farmers in their efforts to
better their condition, and to this end am
heartily in favoc of their taking an active
part in the control of legislation, both Fed
eral and State. But all must admit that
honest differences of opinion rs to the
means and measures which will furnish tho
needed relief may we'll exist between men
actuated by the best motives and seeking
the accomplishment Of tho same ends

We aesirs 10 say something Of the work done
for the church and the community through
its power aud influence:
This Young Mems Prayer Meeting was
one of tho results Of revival held in this
church during tho miuistration Of the Rev.
Jno. M. Carlisle, little more than three
years ago. II was orgauized by this yener-
able man Of God, in October or November,
1885, and, with only two or three excep-
tions, has met on every Wednesday evening
during that time-sometimes with numbers
like We have tonight, often with less, aud
on one occasion with only two. But We had
. prayer meeting.
Now can only speak Of tho work this
prtysr meeting has done for tho Methodist
Church, as II Is the church represent in
| my christian work. At the time this
payer meeting was organized there were
| ohy three men in this church who could or
| wio would lead in prayer, say nothing Of
studing up and speaking for the Lord /;
MY, no less than eight are doing this kind
ofSwork. Besides doing this work the
chEch has laid its hand on number Of
thosS SIo4ng men and, they are filing official

One youhgman who did his frst christian
work in tbs prayer meeting. felt, while
doing this york, q call TO preach the un-
eearchable riches Of God, and Truth, and is
now In wotord College preparing himself
for this glor,us calling.
We claim, full share in the Temperance
work among the young men Of this town
When the Grand Worthy Patriarch Of the
Sons Of Temperance sent Prof. ,Carswel
throughout the State, organizing these
societies, II was considered m absolute i'm
possibility to put on foot such an organize.

Cross KEYS, April, 8.-MR. EpIron.-
This, asy you know, is election year, and great
things are expected Of our next Legislature.
The people are educated now not only in
business, but also in politics, as they never
wero before. Our next Legislature may do
us great good or great harm. One thing is
sure, it is going to legisiate, therefore It is
OF the utmost Importance that we should
select our ablost, bost and tr~e.i ...-, ..s.
of brains, and what is Of equal, if not more,
Importance, mon of convictions.
Let us not be influenced in this matter by
any class or professional feeling, but let epery
Democrat determine to support the best and
ablest men who offer. / can 60 farther. and
say, when we know a suitable man, let us
try and bring him before the people. "Lct
the Office seek the man and not the man the
Office"
Following out the above idea, we would
call attention to the Hon. Chas. G. Culp as
ono eminently qualified to serve us in the
Senate, with honor to himself and to his con-
stituency.
He is comparatively young ninb; "
enough to have a future of grea.Sl

Pony" Broke Her Neck.

Everybody who has lived in this town for
thirty years, or less, will remember the
rugged and faithful black pony that the
venerable Col. Robert Beatty used to ride
into town on. Well, in jogging into town
last Monday, with Mr.. c. II. Peake on her
back, old "Pony"-that was her uame-sud-
denly fell forward and broke her neck. She
survived her Master only a few weeks.
1t is supposed that Pony was thirty-fve
years old. She had been blind for many
years; and VIC arc told that she had not been
ridden faster than what may be called jog
trot, but once or twice, in tho memory of
those who knew her longest.
That goes to prove that Kit was not indul-
