LowNDEsv1LLE, S. c., April 4, 1892,
1t is reported that Lowndesville will
have several candidates in the field for
ollic. This year. Our esteomed friend. Mr..
J. q. Thomas. will run for Sheriff, Mr.. l..
c. Mauldin will test his strength for the
Senate. DR.. A J. Speer will lnake strong
fight for the Legislature and Mr.. w. G.
Shaw will run TOR the Office nearest his
heart when the campaign opens. The
above is current news, of course, and
your correspondent will therefore give it
for what it is worth. ALI OF these good
citizens are Tillmanites.
The Ridge Alliance is said to have held
three secret political meetings recently.
This evidently means something, since
that section is gifted in pluck and deter
mination, irrespective Of the cause they
may choose to espouse.
Saturday, the 9th, is the day appointed
for the re- organization Of the Lowndes
vile Democratic Club No. l. A large at
tendance is expected.
The y. NJ. G. A. will hold their regular
business meeting in their hall on Tuesday
night. This organization has been doing
good work for two years. and the meeting
that has been called conten1plates the en-.
largement of this work and the renewal Of
certain plans of operation.
Mr.. j. W. Hardin, one Of the most sue
cesssul farmers in this community, is to
be married to Miss Rosella Hall, OF An
derson County, on next Wednesday
morning. The report that Jim was going
to make change in his mode of living
has been current for some time.

He was subject to having fits, and was
left alone during one afternoon, when this
malady seized him. In this unconscious
state of mind he fell into the fire, where
he remained for some time before he was
rescued by his friends.

truth of the necessity for change in the
administration upon the minds of the peo-
Pile, this fimsy stuff of fighting the farm er
will fall PROSTATE to the ground. The
farmers supported Tillman in 80 because
be was promised deduction of taxes, be-
cause he was led to believe that there was
something wrong with the State officials,
and because be was told that the enactment
of new laws under the administration
which preceded Tiilman meant additional
oppression. But the farmer has seen his
mistake, and we believe will have the
manhood to acknowledge it by casting his
vote against those men in whom he has
been deceived. IF we propose to delude

Lowndesville is getting to be quite a
summer resort. 1t is reported that there
will be q number of young ladies here
this season from q distance, and. of course,
the young men are losing no time to have
things all ready for their coming. 1t was
gay time with the young people last sea-
son, and from all signs will be much
more so this.
The time for planting is here, and the
farmers are all about ready. They have
accomplished good work since the first of
January, and are in better shape to keep
their farms in first class order than ever
before. Labor seems to be under better
control. and the lands have not been
packed by hard rains.
Spring with its delightful weather, the
budding Of ofinnumerable varieties of sweet
adored flowers, and the gay songs of mer
~ birds, is at hand. 1t is the same fond
time that inspired the following lines from
the gifted poet laureate of England: "In
tho Spring q young mans fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of loYe." Spring is
truly the season Of all seasons. The
beauty of it's green apparel beneath the
soft sunshine in mallow reflection, the
choir that breathes the soft melody of en-
chantment from every playing bower,
and with its myriads Of voices holds the
ear OF musical talent in speechless silence,
the bloom and freshness of its coming,
and the glory and animation of its exist
ence, all blend in harmony and love.
This picture of verdure and sun-glow,
like some panoramic view muralled to
10 the scene, has hidden beneath its sur
face the cardinal lesson Of Gods love. It
breaks the cold stiff dullness of winter,
and charms the eye with natures power.
When the air is filled with fragrance, and
forest trees in seeming smiles and elo-
quence bid adieu to the SHOWS and sleet of
winters storm, it imbues the human soul
with grateful feelings, and prompts our
natures to nobler actions. In Spring we
have that lesson of old wrongs forgiven,
burdened hearts made lighter, and the
