still on account OF the cold weather.
The fruit crop is killed in this section.
especially peaches, and if the apples get
killed we won't have anything to fall on
for fruit but blackberries.
Some of the farmers aimed to have
their corr planted last week. but the
weather would not permit.
The small grain crop looks promising
in this section, especially where it was
sown in the fall. The farmers are taking
more interest in this crop than they have
in the past years. They say where a man
has got his own bread at home he is the
independent man. They are right.
The health of this community is good
at present, except some old cases. Mr..
j. B. Myers has been confined to his
room for some time, but we are glad to
say he is fast improving. Mr.. Myers is
n of our oldest citizens, and is living
at or near the place where his grand
father settled about one hundred years
ago. The Myers were among the Oldest
settlers of this section, and it is very in
teresting to hear Mr.. Myers tell of the
years when he was a boy.
Mr.. W. n. Ables is still confined to his
room and has been for some months past,
but we hope he will be able to be out
soon.
Mr.. Joe Bats left this section last
Monday for Texas. We wish=him sue
cess in the Lone Star State.
Miss Bessie Shirley, of Honea Path, S.
c., returned home on Monday. She has
been visiting her sister and other friends
in this section for the past week. Miss
Bessie is a lively young lady and we hope
she will come again soon.
We have a 1ourishing school at Pine
Grove under the competent teacher, Miss
Jennie Shirley, of Honea Path, S. c..
She says she has enrolled f%fty-four pupils
and her school still increases. Miss Jen-
ME is a splendid teacher and we think
the patrons did well in getting her to
teach their children. She says she will
vacate her school the last Friday in April,
but will be with US again in the summer
We think Miss Jennie ought to give us
a little exhibition or entertainment of
her school at its close.
Where are the candidates for this year?
We want them to come out or shake a
bush, for we want to know who to fix our
tickets for in the next election.

Mr.. Dixon on the Alliance.

The Rev. Thomas Dixon had some
thing to say for the Farmers Alliance
yesterday in his remarks preceding his
sermon in Association hall. He said
that it was by no means sure that the
recent election had proved deathblOw
to the Alliance, this nameless hobgob-
lin with hayseed in it's hair"
1.-The simple truth is" he said, that
all this talk about the death of the
Farmers Alliance and Industrial union
is cheap partisan twaddle.
ats life was not involved in the fight.
1t was not seriously affected by these
elections because it is primarily a NOR
al, not a political movement. The
movement is in its last analysis re-
ligious movement and finds its basis on
the religious nature of the millions OF
and file.
"Not a single one of the problems
that gave birth to this movement has
been met as yet. They have not been
given hearing. They have been hoot-
ed out of court by the hired assassins
of thought in the older parties, who
fight not for principle but for Office.

Ia We demand the abolition of national

b. We demand that the government shall
establish Sub-Treasuries or repositories in the
several States, which shall issue money direct to

proper limitations upon the quality of land and
the amount of money.
c. We demand that the amOnnt of the cir

A. We demand the passage of laws prohibiting

be reclaimed by the government, and held for
actual settlers only.
5. Believing in the doctrine of equal rights t.

Personal Liberty Takes Its
Flight.

The bulk of legislation the past week
has been to increase exemptions, and
to enable few fanatics to control the
sale of liquors without asking the con-
sent of the people, Already this ques-
ton has stirred up great deal of eX-
citement and indignation, and the lead
ing cities are holding meetings, de-
nouncing the acts of the legislature,
and sending committees of citizens to
Jackson to protest against the outrage.
1t would not surprise us to see bill
introduced making it a penitentiary
offence for any man to look at or smell
of jug within ten miles of church
or a school house, or hanging offense
to take glass of bear or wine within
forty days of an election. Personal
liberty seems to have taken its ever
lasting flight, and laws are to be enact
ed to make people sober and religious
Observation-Disclosures Republican.
We could never be reconciled to
seeing our dear alarmed old friend of
the Republican go to the pen for smell
ing jug, so if this wicked Legislature
undertakes to pass any such bill, we
want it understood in advance this
fanatic" is against it.

Last Thursday when Mr.. Vardeman,

derived from licenses in cities and

of overfows in that section, Mr.. Rat

The Shaw News.
When this government was on the
eve of a terrible war, and had her hand
uplifted to strike little Chill fearful
blow when the crisis had been reached,
and the President had prepared his
message with wonderful care and de-
liberation, and precipitated it upon
Congress when Washington was all
astir with excitement, and the pulse of
the whole country beat in unison with
it when expectation was on tiptoe and
dreams of glory disturbed the uneasy
sleep of our gallant soldiers and sail
ors when the waters of the ocean were
lashed to fury by the hurrying to and
fro of our powerful navy; what potent
influence operated to calm the storm
and disperse the dark and threatening
clouds of war? A Mississippi woman

JOY the companionship of some gentle
female of sober habits, who has never

putsy-wutsy we can be. 1t has also

on printers ink, and broken bottles,
but this too, is a malicious falsehood,
and we grow indignant at the charge.
We can prove by three disinterested
parties (who are now visiting outside
