AS it is raining this morning and we
have some spare time, We thought we
would blow our horn again, Mr.. Ed
itor, if you have no objection.
"Get up and get" has been the gen.
eral rule among US farmers for the past
few weeks, and we have never known
farm work as far along for the time of
year.
The health Of the community is
comparatively good.
We congratulate you, Mr.. Editor,
upon your editorial on peace, harmony
and unity among the white people of
our dear old State. There is no use of
so much kicking. Let US come to-
gether and live like people.
Owing to the cool. dry weather, veg
citation is somewhat backward, al
though we are enjoying some beans,
plenty of Irish potatoes and an occa-
sional mess of beet pickles. With
cherry pie, plenty of milk and butter
and a little II cents bacon, fellow
ought not to complain.
Tell that young man he must learn
better the next time he is entertaining
the young ladies. This is fast age.
You must not say "sassers." Call
them saucers, and that young lady
won't correct you.
After putting in six days out of a
week-counting abuut thirteen hours
of actual hard LABOR to the day-and
then going to church on Sunday, We
don't find much time to write.
Wonder how many negroes Haskell
and Gonzales have caught in that po-
litieal trap they set in the form Of an
indignation meeting over the lynching
of that black devil who committed the
most fiendish crime that could be per-
petrated. We have often heard of
people STOPPING low for votes, but this
is getting down to the bottomless pit
although we are proud to see there are
some Conservatives looking on this act
with contempt; and they will lose more
good material than the trash they pick
up will amount to.
School Commissioner Keitt was in
this section last week gathering up all
the information he could get in regard
to laying off school district. There
has been more dissatisfaction and con-
fusion in locating schools in No. 10
than in any other township in the
county, therefore it has been lodged
by some rule or other; but Commits
sioner Keitt don't believe in making
two bites at a cherry-he says that the
| work shall be completed and the first
district that he will lay off will be in
this section. This district will throw
| Gallman Academy and Ridgeroad to-
gether; the other schools in the town.
ship will remain as they are. So far
as we can learn this arrangement will
give general satisfaction.
The Gallman Academy Reform
Democratic Club met last Saturday
afternoon and elected the following
delegates to the caucus which meets at
NeWberry on Saturday next, June 8:
w: F. Enlow, Thos. L. B. Epps, w. NJ.
Bobb, Thos. Fellers. The question was
brought up who the club should sup
port in the senatorial race. The names
OF Cole L. Blease and DR.. G. T. Wyche
| were brought before the club. The
club endorsed DR.. Wyche, not because
there was any objection to Mr.. Blease,
| but the general opinion was that Mr..
Blease was already holding very
| honorable Office and that it would be
nothing more than right that he
should serve his time out before max.
ing an attempt to take step higher.
The Jolly Street Club met the sane
day and elected the following dele
gates: P. B. Ellison, David Wither-
spoon, Jno. A. G. Kibler. Jno. F.
| Wheeler, NJ. L. Kipard. We are in
formed that these delegates all stand
for Wyche, but are uninstructed.
AS to how the grain crop will be is
no longer question. Fall oats is about
a two-third crop; spring sowing not
more than half; wheat about the same
as fall oats; the corn crop considerably
backward, owing to unfavorable con.
ditions of weather, and for like causes
cotton was almost microscopic, but both
are Frightening.
The heaviest fall of rain this season
was on last Monday morning, and the
signs indicate wet spell.
We are glad to say that the chronic
grumbler has not been seen abroad very
| much of late. It is better to bury our
troubles and do the best we CAP.
Nearly all of US are planting sorghum
and raising shoats. Twelve cents bacon
and to Z cents cotton tell of starvation,
and we are determined that our name
shall not be-mud. w.
