"Troyites" Reply to "Wild-Cats
and Giants.

Mr.. EDITOR: We did not expect
that the Wild Cats Of Callison
would not feel honored at the title
we gave them, as it is very suita-
BILE, and as we know them to re-
semble them in many respects.
Wild Cats are all the time seeking
the lwoest places, and would
rather be in the swamps of Cufee-
town than among people. This
was the reason we are so much sur
prised at another visit to Troy.
Oh! how we sympathize with the
innocent girls of Troy and knowing
the timidity of the feminine gen.
der, we beseach the Wild Cats not
to go any more. Wild Cats, do not
think the girls of Troy pleased
with your visit because they don't
express their; feelings. There are
many unpleasant faults which
those kind of varmints are ad-
dicted to, but the Troyites must
try and bear with them. Now, Mr.
Editor, while they resemble Wild
Cats they also resemble Giants in
this respect: they are very tall and
are useless to themselves, remind.
ing us Of a very tall weed which
grows up about q place, that nc
one can find any use for. Useless
weeds grow tall Notwithstanding
they are more in their own way
than in ours.
Many thanks to the wildcat we
would not take any Of their swamp
water, we don't care for our health
to lie preserved in that respect, al
to give US a kind of wild appear
ance, we prefer a kind, humane
and tender countenanca.

First Blood Split in the Cam
paign.

Mr.. EDITOR: 1t 1s not often l
take part in politics, but allow me
just short space:,
In a campaign meeting held at
Abbeville, July 1S, 1892, that un-
appreciated paper, The State, gives
the following account:
aThere were about 800 people
presene. Hon w. G. Benet being
present was called upon as a Till
man supporter to address the
crowd. On calling for a hand pri-
mary it showed the Sheppardites
were in the majority, there being
only 134 Tillmanites present.
w. C. MCGOWAN presided. Mr..
Benet did not attack the Shep-
pardites, but assailed the Press
and Banner and said it published
falsehoods concerning his speech
there in the State campaign meet
ing. At this assertion Mr.. Nc
Gowan came forward and said he
endorsed what was said by the
Press and Banner. Mr.. Benet
plainly told him if he did: ha enc
doIsed a faIseh bod and 9 lie. No
sooner had the Hon. Mr.. Benet said
this than Met Gowan resented it by
striking ,Benet in the mouth with
his fist. Benet's lip was crushed
and blood was shed upon his shirt
bosom. sMen;of both sides rushed
in and prevented a riot"
Fellow citizens, I am a true-born
American citizen, and feel proud
of my country. In ancient times
when Rome was in the height OF
her glory, her citizens when visit.
ing abroad were honored and re.
spected, because they were citi,
zens of the mighty and celebrated
Rome. We are citizens of a still
greater country than Rome even in
her palmiest days, and yet internal
troubles prevail as they did in thai
fancient city, (which sat upon hel
seven hills and from her throne Of
beauty ruled the world"
The conduct of MCGOWAN OF
this occasion was reprehensible
Jindeed almost criminal. But bless
ed be Tillman's party; I feel prout
that they have taken all false &C
cusations, and yet preserved tn
peace to such dregree that a con
: servatiye man was the first to she'
blood in the campaign of '92. AL
honor to w. c. Benet, who to-aa,
Z stands as living monument t
the fact that peace and unity a
applied to the Sheppardites is
: misnomer, but a living verify whe'
applied to the Tillman party.
Mr.. Benet's blood is the first t
J. be spilled: standing. up for equa
) rights to all, but never fear, you al
not alone. One call from yo
: would bring to your aid thousand
! Of men who think as you thinl
and who would stand by your sid
at the peril of their lives, and ye
we would have peace on earth an
good will to all men.
If the so-called Conservatly
party had been attacked This wa
by the Tillman party they woul
n never have got over it. Just b
: cause the sheppardites were in tt
+ majority they thought it somethir
grand to make display of the
y courage2 1t was cowardice in M
n Gowan to make such an assau
when his party was in the majorit
9 I hope we will have peace duril
's the remainder of the campaign.

a small diamond heart, having a

A fine specimen of the silversmith's

which is made to form receptacle for

represents a patch of sward On which

An elongated odd shaped pearl, that
was recently imported, has, by taking
advantage of its unique form, been trans
formed into very pretty fish lacepin
by having a gold head and diamond tail
attached to each end respectively.
Among bracelets six different colored
pearls. each divided by a small ruby and
a diamond, and the whole circled with

form an exceedingly rich combination
