Barnes Items.

Mrs. J. M. Stacks has been very sick,
but, as we are glad to state, is recovering.
Mr.. s. P. Pruitt has also been very sick,
and he being the blacksmith at this place
has placed some of us in very awkward
position, in reference to the effecting OF
the sharpening of our plows. We are glad
to note his Improvement.
The people Of Barnes are live and on a
boom in great many attainments Of life !;
but we would say to them as Christ said
to the rich young man, "One thing
lacketh though yet, and that Is this: 90
and improve the talent that God has given
thee" T have special reference to the de-
velopment of the vocal organs. We have
twenty-five young ladies, and near the
same number Of young men, in mile and
the producing of many noble chords Of
music, which would watt our souls
higher and higher, and give our souls
brighter aspirations of attaining plan es Of
higher levels. But no, we are denied this
pleasure, development in this respect is
ebbing at a low tide. Young men and
young ladies take courage, and for the fu-
ture let US make an Improvement on the
past, and refrain from this anyhow.style
of making melody to our God.
The Rev. Mr.. Franks, from LoWndes-
Vile, preached most excellent sermon at
Beulah last Sunday at IL o'clock.
There has been some talk of moving the
school house at this place, only moving 1t
q few hundred yards. This, we think,
will be very prudent act, for the present
site Is not q good one. We should look
after this at an early day, and also to get
ting more sufficient desks. This is bust
ness of great importance, so let us not lose
interest in anything pertaining to the de-
velopment of the intellectual powers Of
our children.
The school at this place will only con-
tinue about eight days longer, as the term
will be out. We are all pleased with Mr..
Bowen, and are satisfied he has done us
good work.
The political atmosphere Is not stirring
at q great rate in and around Barnes.
The people are at home preparing that
nourishment which they wish to put down
their throats in days to come, and are e1-
ercising more common sense and judg.
ment than to blame Tillman for every set
ting of eggs that don't hatch, or some
other foolishness.
Mr.. Editor, when "Eyes and Ears'' and
''Bill' stop scareing each other I suppose
they will then continue to write the news
from this place. And it will be then that
will stop INNoMINATA.

We have had plenty of rain, and spring
oats are looking very well.
Mr.. Editor, am not like few individ-
uals in our neighborhood who say "throw
away the INTELL1GENoER and read the
Advocate il you are a supporter of Gov.
Tillman." I am not bound to Tillman.
am farmer and supporter of the farm
ers' movement. I am solid against Shep.
pard, and will be until am convinced I
am wrong, and it is nobody's business.
If the INTELL1aENcER thinks Sheppard Is
the man for Governor, it is none of my
business. I have read the INTELLIGENT
GER ever since I could ready anything,
and expect to continue to read 1t as long
as can get 1t. It has been friend to me.
I do not endorse some of its utterances or
position against Tillman, but know its
editors are Democrats and honest men,
and If they believe Mr.. Tillman is not the
right man for Governor, they do right in
not supporting him. accord them the
same right claim for myself, and be.
lieve they will support MIR. Tillman il he
is the nominee Of the Democratic party, as
they did two years ago. So, friends, stop
abusing others because they do not agree
with us. Stop and think and see if we
are right. Let as see what is under our
hat. We may have q beam in our eyes as
long as fence rail.
Well, Mr.. Edi., "Kick," of William
ston gave me correct answer about the
road law. We knew that the reason the
citizens of Williamson only paid two dol
lars for street tax or worked four days
was because the village is incorporated.
What we country people want now is to
have the County law 80 changed that we
can pay two dollars or work only four
days on the roads. Let the law be
changed and we poor wool-hat, one-gal-
lus fellows will not do any kicking. We
hope our members of the Legislature will
make an effort to get the law changed in
Anderson County.
Corn and cotton is looking well.

LowNDEsvILLE, g. O., June 13, 1892.
The Commencement exercises OF the
Lowndesville High School will ia ke place
on next Saturday, (18th inst.) to which
the public generally are most cordially In
yited. Under the management and su-
perYision Of orr able and efficient Princi-
pal, Fl. B. Humbert, the school has made
q bright record during the past year. The
report to be submitted will be indeed
gratifying, and no less 30 to those who are
Interested in the progress of education.
The exercises will take place IN the beau
tiful grove on the southern borders Of the
town, where tastefully arranged stand,
with an other necessary preparations for
the comfort and pleasure Of those present
will be made. a basket dinner will be
served in connection, and those who at
tend are respectfully solicited to bring
with them some refreshments for the in
ner man. Prizes and medals will be de-.
livered by one of the speakers present to
those students who have distinguished
themselves i'm literary and department..
Speeches will be made by the following
distinguished gentlemen: Hon. W. G..
MCGOWAN and Hon. Walter L. Miller, of
Abbeville. and ]. X. Hood, Esq, of An
derson. The addresses will be strictly
upon education, without the least intima.
ton Of the unpleasant theme Of politics.
Therefore those who attend may expect
nothing but the general order OF school
commencement exercises.

be held up to execration as one of the
yilest mortals whom God ever allowed to
curse the world. Yet it must be remem.
bered that he was led into all this wicked
ness by what in the outset was virtue.
His zeal for the public welfare rendered
him valued friend of liberty, SO long as
it was confined within the proper bounds.
But when it had secured for him a place of
almost unlimited power, the same zeal
carried to excess made him fend.
Other instances are not wanting, though
none perhaps 80 striking as this, which
shows how fearfully mischievous mis-
guided public spirit may become. Fanati-
cism may be truthfully said to be always
bad. It may not be 80 dangerous when
the matter about which it is excited is in
itself good, as when it is wrong in it's very
origin. But when the advocates of any
cause allow themselves to be carried to this
length, they will bring it into disrepute
and eventually to ruin. They who set
out to work great reforms should remem-
ber that moderation in the end will accom-
plish more than intemperance. They
who would win the world to assured for
ward movements must be content to move
slowly. BABBLER.

One of the most successful sessions oi
the Belton High school closed on Tuesday,

Your correspondent, Mr.. Editor, from
this point inadvertently neglected to
mention the return of Mrs. Mitchell and
her amiable daughter, Miss Stella, from
Gainesville, where they had been spend
ing several months. They are both look.

their return to our midst.
On the first Sunday in this month, DR..
Chas. Manly, after preaching the funeral
sermon of our esteemed townsman, Mr..
g. w. McDavid, at II o'clock in the
morning, preached The Commencement
Sermon of the Bolton High School at 4.30
p. m., and preached again at night at his
regular appointment. We had good
audience and fine sermon at each SER
vice.
Last Saturday night, the 18th inst, the
little child of Mr.. Ancil Campbell, of our
town, died, and the funeral was conducted
Sunday, at 4 p. M, by the Rev. j. @.
Stoll. We extend our sympathies to the
bereaved parents and relatives.
In addition to the funeral sermon, Rev.
Mr.. Stoll preached morning and evening
at the Methodist Church. Your CORES
pondent WAS present at the morning and
the evening session, and he pronounced
the sermons very good.
Miss Carrie N. Sullivan, very amiable
and accomplished young lady from Due
West, is visiting Mrs. Major Williams oi
our town. Miss Sullivan, we suppose,
expects to follow the noble calling of
teaching, as she has been attending the
Normal School of Nashville. 1t Is very
important to have the very best and most
highly educated people in our country to
train our children and young people.

Boiled beans and fried chicken are right
on us now. But we will not stop to grum-
BILE about that.
The other day we visited our nelghbor,
Miss Florence 8. Dickson. The female
brethren were represented from here clear
to Texas, and If you were ever thrown IN

wise, you know how 1t is, and of course
you would not expect me to remem Der
the last remark that was made first. We
thought we would tell you how pleasantly
the time passed away, but that good din
ner comes looming up in our Imagination
and may cause US to even fall to tell you
what grand old hill 1t is, dotted with
oaks, cedars, mimossa and China trees, so
aged that their limbs spread out and over
lap each other, and embrace the comforta-
BILE old time house with its spacious din
ing room, large, airy parlor,. filled with
pictures and bric-a.brac that shows deli
cate taste of refinement, and with its long
piazza and the wind sighing through the
leaves they seem to say we will shelter
you from further sunshine and storm.
From the piazza can be seen the long line
of decayipg negro cabins, which are silent
reminders of ''ante bellum days." and as
you view those cabins, after 80 many years
of toll and change, and listen to the rip
pling of the little silver stream at the foot
of the bill, it gives you rest spell just to
think there was time once when white
folks had nothing to do. Though we
think the change is all for the better
where both colors are inclined to do right
and be of mutual help aud benefit to each
other.
Mr.. N. T. Smith has the prettiest field OF
wheat that we have seen, with not blt
of any kind of fertilizer on it. He was IS
years old laet week, and says he read the
other day about man dying at the e1-
treme old age Of IS, and 1t scared him up a
little, not because he was sick, but BE-
cause he was under the impression that 75
years was not so very old.
The farmers are buster now than u.s.

It seems that the Tillmanites take spe-
cial delight In casting insulting epithets
and insinuations Of 6 character that Is not
very complimentary at the fair name of
the Rev. Mr.. Hiott. A man whose true
and noble character towers above the
ordinary politician, as the giant cedars Of
Lebanon Lift their green foliage above
their less pretentious neighbors. Two
years ago, when the Rev. Mr.. Earle an
nounced himself as candidate for the
Legislature, not one word did they say In
opposition to his course, but when the in
noceut Mr.. Hiott is announced for Su-
perintendent Of Education they burst
forth with a TRADE of abuse that is dis
graceful, to say the least Of it. The reason
Of this is very obvious. Mr.. Earle ac-
oepted Tillman and his "ooat TAIL" and of
course that ended the matter. Mr.. Hiott
being convinced of their purpose, boldly
denounced them as being the willy poll
ticiaus that they have proved themselves
to be. Consistency truly is jewel.
In recent conversation with q neigh.
Dor we said the Alliance stores were an
injury to the country. How 80, he OK
claimed, we get our goods cheaper now
than we did before their establishment.
Yes, we admitted, you get few things
cheaper, but In doing so you have almost
what do care, if it is to my interest for
them to go, why let them 90. He seemed
to think that the towns were of no use to
the country at all that they were built
and kept in repair at the expense of the
country, and were part of the burden
the poor oppressed farmer had to bear.
So 1t is with many an Allianceman; they
talk as if they thought home market for
our dairy and truck farm products were Of
70 use in the least, as if they would be de.
lighted to see our live and prosperous
towns abandoned, store rooms and dwell
ings pulled down, and the inhabitants
forced to leave their native heath, or join
the band of down-trodden farmers. We
not think OF, or care for, the result of such
an experiment. Although the production
of cotton far exceeds the demand of the
consumer, they are trying to swell the
number of producers, instead Of increas-
ing the capacity Of our cotton mills,
which, in our opinion, is the most feasible
plan that has yet been presented.
