farmers say they were going to commence
to-day.
When sat down TO write to tho TINES :,
last week, | hal hopes of seeing our friend
J. l.. Kelly walking round among us in few
days, but instead Of that, we were told the
next da, that he was dangerously ill., and
OH the 9th the startling announcement came
tha, he was dead.
Poor Joe he was good man, kind hus-
band and loving father. lie leaves q wife
a sweet little girl-to grieve after him. lie

There were few present who either did
not consider the meeting TO be q Democratic
one, or them:elVes not Democrats, for thoy
did not vote for the delegates that were
selecie by The committee. TheIc was a dis
tinct line drawn in the meeting, and some OF
the crowd announced themselves as uncom-
promising Sheprardites until the September
Convention nominated man for Governor
which ! think they should not have done in
that meeting. because it was intended 10 bo
purey democratic meeting and not a Shep-
pard, a Tillmnn or any O;hs. man 8 meeting.

stand together as Democrats and not a.
Tillman,tes, Shepparditcs, or any other
ties and say 80 too, for We live in State
where we cannot afford TO split among our
selves. We must vote for principles and
not for men. If we do not We are lost and
ruined, and this grand glorious government

not ask, for it is very plain to see. just
take q Retrospective view Of the past, and

For the TINES
TO the Teachers OF Union County.

A meeting Of all the white teachers Of
Union County will be held at the Graded
School brilding, in the town of Unioa, Oh
Saturday morning, April 23d, for the pur-
cpose of organizing County Teachers Asso-
iation. Every teacher in the county is enr-
nest!y requested ani urged to be present on
that occasion.
Flourishing County Associations are in
operation in neighborins counties, aud there
is no reason why Union should be behind in
a matter ofsp much import nce to her educa.
tionsl interests. In Que county, for exam
pie, a tlour. shing Association has been in
operation continuously for six years. Last
Summer ono Of the lerding papers in the
State published y statement Of tho school
affairs of that county, in which it was said
that the free schools Of that county were in
better conaAiaa than those Of any other
county in the State. No doubt the Teachers
Association was largely responsible fvr this
gratifying condition of things.
Teachers in different paris Of tho County
have already expressed an interest in our
proposed organization, and il is hoped that
all will be present on the 23rd inst. to lend
their aiG The time for meeting ha, been
fixed at | | o clock, A. NJ and It 10 hoped
that the teachers will b. on hand promptly
at that hour, SO that the organization may
be completed on the 23d, AMI arrangements
male for regular meetings of the AsSocia
tons thereafter. as often q, the teachers may
decide. }. l.. Waikiki.

We fully agree with the Newberry Obser-

We will suppose, for )argumeotu and as q
case in point, q man buys two shirts aud q
woman buys two calico dresses. Those gar

ent system. Well, they get more circulating
currency, or the price Of cotton goods is
re iuced one-half by the removal Of the tariff,
and the man buys four shirts, aLd the woman
four dresses. Now, il is not to be supposed
that either VI them will wear two of those
garments at one time, and il is a well osiab-
lrhcd economic fact that those garments will
wear longer when frequently changed, 50 We
can snfely assume that the four shirts and
four dresses will last double rs long as two
Of each Of those garments; or, instead Of buy.

help the husband or father one cent, and II
she gives it away, it will finish the full year 8
service On some ones back, who, although
not much on style, would more than likely
have bought new one, 80 there would be
no increase Of demand or consumption, and
consequently no reason, on that SCORE, to
expect any rise in the price Of cotton, or any
more money in the pockets Of the farmers.
The same rule hollis good with allfabrics in

morning, about 4 80 o'clock, we stcod beside
our good old friend the late Row T.. J. Shsnd,
on the Battery at Charleston aud saw the
flash of the first gun fired from Fort john
son on Fort Sumter. Never shall We forget
that night and that sconc.
wo were standing together in tho Charles
ton Hotel about II clock, whom Col. Ches :
nut came in hurriedly and was passing up
tho stairs, when Mr.. Shaud asked him when,
or i, our guns would open on Fort Sumter ?
to which the Col. .IepllieIv: n;ch lie music Of
the guns before daylight" With everybody
else in Charleston on that memorable night,
We were too excited to think Of sleep, aud
Col. Chesnut's iutimation that firing may
soon commence, we went t. the battery and
remained there until long after daylight.
We shall never forget the romsrk Of a man
s'auding nesr us, when the first gun was
hrcl-"that, said he, sounds the death
kncl to the institution OF slavery"
The gun, Of Fort Sumter did not open
upon the Confederate forts until aftor day :
light. and thon Besureg.rds Couriers com
mcuced passing in boats between the Battery
and Sullivans Island. Nearly every ono
on the Battery had either Y husband, O
son, a brother or some orher relative or
frieud in the Confederate service in the
forts nrouud Sumter, and the intense
anxiety depicted upon the countensnces 90
tho boats noarcd the shore, is beyond de-
scrIption
During the early part Of the day reports
came Of ten, fifteen AMI twenty casualties,
but when in tho afternoon it was announced
hy :@;hority from military headquarters,
that not a man CFMe ContrdrrGtr forces haI
been hi!!rd, such change came over the
coun onances and actions Of that vast crowd
as can only be imagined, it cannot be pic
tured by pen or brush.
