Wheel,

KGLToy, Sept. 12.-I have been absent
| from your columns for some time, but rs
! haUa-.>a,iaAd that yau have boon crowded
with communications while / have been
absent l suppose 1t did not make any
material difference anyway.
The farmers in this section are in yery
low spirits, on account of tho gloomy pros
poets before them.
Corn, in general, is not so good % last
year. II is hard to tell much about cotton
yet Some say the crop is not ss good as
last year, while others say it is about the
same, SO we canno, form true es'imate Of
what the crop will be. Bad crops and low
prices nrs worry discourasing.
There is a very bad stand of turnips. II
has been so very dry that some of the farmers
have not sowed their seed, but it looks as il
we were going to have plenty Of rain this
morning
There will be molasses enough made in
Union County, if thcy are properly used, 10
last two years. Mr.. J. Haney made $50
gallons on seven.eights Of al acts, while
taere are others who have realized as great
yield in proportion to the land they had
planted in cane.
There will also be more tobacco made on
tho Ridge this season than ma, s""- far
many years.
Now. MIR. Editor, an going to strike at
some fellow for sending whiskey to Kelton
on the goth of August, election day. ]

again get the votes of some of our citizen,
who voted for him on that day, if his name
Is ever known, and think it will be.
lwll also mention a low-down trick that
was praciiced at q little railroad station in
this County, while the State campaign was
gong on. 1t was this: 1t was known
that The candidates would pass through q
certain little town on n certain day, and
presents Of watermelons and flowers were
pre- Jared and sent TO the candidates on the
cars; but some smart Aleck, thinking him
self Solomon, fixed up and prepared q
pumpkin, representing face with one eve

vote If he was dealt with according to law.

"A few words TO my brother farmers.
brothers, prepare yourselves for a hari
night next year, for it has been said by some
OF The merchants in this AMI other COUNT es
i"' 'ho ia' mors went against them IN the
election and they the merchants who hold
mortgages against the Tillmanites, would
close them out, let the consequences be
what they may" Now. brother farmers,
"stand to the rack, fodder or no fodder"
for we are right and that is all that our
Father In Heiven requires of us. All that
we want and ask for, is our rights.
Brother Allianceman, do not be side
tracked by men opposed to the order. At
tend your meetings regularly. Don't miss
single meeting, if IL is in your power to
attend. Take newspapers and read them
carefully and sift everything that you read
through fine seive, and what is not good
throw in the trash pile and set fire 10 il,
and burn il into ashes, that the wind may
blow 1t to the four corners Of the earth.
"Be sure you are right, then 20 ahead"
