UNITY of action. which has pre-
vailed in the democratic ranks OF
the South for more than twenty
six years, DO longer exists. Phe
interests Of the people Of this coun-
try are so closely interviewer that
whatever benefits one, correspond
ingly benefits another; consequent~
ly there Is no reasonable cause why
there should be a surrenderine of
the ties of party fealty. This is no
time to allow ourselves to be iDhu-
enced by theories and blinded by
heresies. The national election is
near at hand. The party now in
po wer, responsible for the enact
ment OF laws injurious and inimical
TO the interests of all unprotected
classes, will, on election day, stand
In solid phalaDx and rally 10 their
standard. Theirs is a well organiz-
ed party, it is a party, under whose
dominion wealth is being centraiiz-
ed; 1t is a party through whose in
f1uence a heavy tax has been lev
led upon such articles as are worn
by the poor, and those in moderate
circumstances, while the tax upon
silks. satins aud the finer fabrics,
which can be purchased only by
men of wealth, has been reduced; it
is a party to which belongs a vast
majority of the millionaires, from
whose Golfers assistance can always
be secured; it is a party which has
built a wall of protection around the
United States IN the interests of
manufacturers. Such a party as
this. democracy will be called upon
to contend with in 1892. Victory
can only be gained by presenting a
united front. Should dlssention
and d~isaffection be allowed among
US, inevitable defeat will result.
We cannot afford to divide.

Entertainment

The home Of Miss Elizabeth Jones was
a scene OF light and gaiety on Tuesday
evening, the occasion being a pink tea,
given by Miss Jones in honor OF her guest,
Miss Fannie Bills, OF Bolivar, Tenn. Ali
Corinth had been on the qui viye since
the announcement that the guests were ex-
pected to assist in carrying out the pretty
concert Of the evening; the ladies to be ar
rayed in pink, and the gentlemen to do
their little by wearing pink ties.
The pale moonlight revealed charming
faces for quiet tete-a-tets in the spacious
grounds The interior Of the house was
beautifully decorated, showing every where
the dainty taste of the hostess
The parlors and hall were transformed
into a perfect fairy land of ferns, palms
and pink roses.
The crownIng success, however, was the
dining-room. Here Titania herself SEEM
ed to have planned and carried out the
decorations. The walls draped in pink
bunting, outlined and festooned with ivy
and roses, the tables with their snowy lin
relieved by fora of roses, gerarlums
and ferns, the sparkling glass and plate,
the laughter and Jest Of merry voices, the
noisless serving of pinkice, cakes and 9TH
err dainties, the glamor cast by the
pink lights, made q scene never to be for
gotten. The evening passed all too rapid
ly with music, Jest and laughter until the
wee sma' hours warned the guests twas
time to bid their hostess goodnight.
And now, as each fortunate guest gazes
on a lovely hand painted favor, he declar.

Mr. E,lit0r about the wire fence
law: | noticed in your July 18th
issue a letter from j. L. Low, who
stated that he had travelled through
Tennessee and North Carolina, and
said that the thing that pleased him
most was seeing the farms with no
fences. No doubt Mr.. Cow favors
the three rail fence law from the
tenor of his letter. Now, let us
take a practical aud common sense
view of this law and weigh its good
and evil effects. First, this law
favors the rich farmer and mer-
chant who owns large farms, but to
the tarmer who OWNS less than 200
acres of land it is ruinous, especially
those who own none at all. The
rich farmers way is clear. De can
take the rails be now has AMI make
plenty of pasture for hogs, sheep and
other stock. But on the other
hand, the way looks gloomy.
Thousands of us have hogs and
sheep, but little or no land, no rails,
no durable timber for posts to fence
our farms and pastures, consequent
ly the very class of people who need
better facilities for raising cheap
meat and wool will be deprived of
that privilege except to a very
limited extent. Again, the small
farmer who cannot furnish pasture
for his share troopers cam OF secure
those who desire to raise meat. All
these advantages VIII be thrown in
the hands Of the rich q A very
defective and unreasonable feature
Of the law is the provision that three
wire rails or pianks will be a lawful
! fence. VIZ know by experience and
