Picnic at Fountain Falls.

Correspondence X vwEE COURIER.
On Saturday, 24th instant, quite mum
Der assembled at the above place for a
picnic, and a p%rettier place for one is not
easily found. Tie fall is about fifty feet
and the place abounds in beautiful
scenery. From below mountains tower
up on either side, covered with ivey,
laurel and beautiful flowers. Here and
there cool crystal springs gush forth and
wend their way to the creek below. The
forenoon was spent viewing the scenery,
gathering flowers, &c. At Il o'clock the
young ladies spread dinner on the rocks
beneath the falls under the large syca-
mores and all eat to their hearts content
and the unanimous verdict was the best
picnic dinner of the season. In the
afternoon different kinds of games were
INDUCED in by the young people. Some
ished. The most popular fishing, how
ever, was on dry land. About 4 o'clock
all the picnicers began to disperse and all
united in saying they had an all round
good time. PHI"

South Union Correspondence.

TUeALoo, S. c., June Is, 1892.
EDITORS KEowEE COURIER: We have
had rain nearly every day for the past
ten days, and as a result the crops are
getting very grassy and the farmer is
wearing a serious mien. Considerable
wind accompanied the rain that fell Sat
urday afternoon and blew down a large
quantity of fine oats on Mr.. John W.
| Shelor's farm.
Mr.. S. Y. Harbin was experiencing
some trouble last week in harvesting his
grain crops, owing to the oftrecurring
rain, but I have not heard that he suf-
fered serious loss.
1t is fortunate that so far the crops on
the creek and river bottoms have escaped
serious damage from overflow. This is
always a matter of anxious concern, for
there is a very large area of fine bottom
land along the river here and the creeks
afluent, and when these escape disaster
from floods this section always has a sur
plus of corn.
l have heard it stated by observant per-
sons that the acreage in sorghum is con-
siderably larger than for some years, and
that the potato crop is also larger than
formerly; and I heard, too, that some of
our farmers are growing tobacco as a
money crop. These are steps in the
right direction, and if the farmer per-
sists along this line he will soon find the
relief he seeks.
Our people are entering upon extensive
preparation for the approaching meeting
at this place of the Beaverdam Associa-
ton, which will be held on the 9th, 10th
and 11th days of August, and the large
attendance expected may be assured Of
royal entertainment. 1t is expected that
a number of UNCONVENTIONAL dignitaries
will be present.
The health of the ~neighborhood is
excellent.
The exercises of the school at this place
will be resumed Monday. July 18th, and
Miss Fannie Sheldon will reopen her
school at Bethel on the same date.

son county. W. A. d.

Senator Butler interviewed.

A correspondent of The Neoos and Coa-
rier says that Senator Butler was in
Charleston on Saturday. On being inter-
viewed he said:
Eyes, I was opposed to Mr.. Cleveland's
nomination. I doubted his availability
in view of the factional differences in
New York among the Democrats, which
appeared to be formidable, and in view
of the further fact that the delegation
was instructed for another thought it
would be injudicious in a party n to
nominate any one from New York. That
at least appeared to me to be the COM
mon sense view of it. To Mr.. Cleveland
personally and politically had no objec-
ton and have none now, and l do not see
how any good Democrat can have. do
not agree with Mr.. Cleveland in some Of
his financial views, but inasmuch as the
Democratic platform declares in favor Of
the repeal of the 10 per cent tax. it is l6
per cent in reality, on the State bank cir
culation. Cleveland accepting this plank,
l think we shall get along together, for |
regard that, if not the most important,
among the most important of the declar-
atoms of principles. If that provision Of
the national banking law should be
repealed we should have a satisfactory
solution of our financial troubles.
Il sincerely hope he will be elected"
he answered in response to a question as
to Mr.. Cleveland's chances of election.
81 shall cheerfully do all 1 can to secure
his election. Much, in fact, everything,
will depend on what is done by Tsm-
many or the Hill faction in New York.
If it should come cordially into line my
Judgment is that he viii be triumphantly
elected. Harrison is personally unpopu-
lar. He has NJ sympathy with the
masses. His nomination was secured
largely by tile influence exerted by the
~ofice-holders. Cleveland. on the other
hand. was nominated in obedience to the
demands of the people. The whole bust
ness is without a parallel IN the political
history of the country. That a man with
a strong faction of his own party in his
own State against him, and the delega-
ton from that State committed against
him, should receive the nomination for
President is unprecedented. 1t only
shows the strong hold he has on the
masses of the people, which ought to
insure his success.
after Congress adjourns shall make
some speeches in the State and will then
have a better opportunity of expressing
myself freely" Taking about the out
look in State politics he said that from
what he could hear he felt confident that
the Conservative ticket would be elected.
