The distress of the farmer has been
described over and over again in so many
ways that strong opinion has grown up
that the tiller of the soil has beon left far
behind in the struggle for comfort and
competence. The Hon. j. Sterling Nor
ton, Secretary of Agriculture, takes occa-
sion, in the June number Of The Forum,
to show that this is fallacy. Seventy
per cent of the farms in the United States
are unincumbered by any Indebtedness ;
their owners are still the home-builders
and home-lovers of the land, as this class
has always been; and Mr.. Morton points
out how, as in preceding generations,
nearly all of our Presidents were called
from their farms to executive duties. and
consequently the farmers represented the
better element of our life-so, NOW also,
the farmer is the most Independent and
prosperous of all the large classes of our
people. He explains the growth of the
story Of their distress by showing that
few farmers have left their furrows to
follow the false prophets of politics. 1t
is the political farmer, who is really a
politician and not farmer at all, that has
done all this evil. Mr.. Morton goes over
the whole ground to show the relative
importance and independence Of the ag-
ricultural class, and their influence on
the community at every stage of our his
tory

The Battle OF SeTen Pines.

This is the anniversary of the battle OF
Seven Pines, day which brought sor-
row to many hearts in South Carolina.
The 9Th regiment commanded by Col.
John Bratton, suffered very severely,
losing over four hundred men in killed
and wounded. The experience OF one
"mess" will give some idea of the NOR
tality. At the beginning Of the peninsu-
La campaign this mess contained the fol-
lowing: Lucius CASTOR, William Castor,
w. M. Grier, William H. Brawley, Rob-
ert n. Hemphill, Josiah Peden and Lau-
rie Caldwell, nearly related or connected,
aud just out of college, except Lucius
CASTOR. the captain of Company F,
who was a young lawyer Of great prom
ise.
At the battle Of Williamsburg Grier
lost his leg and was captured. at the
battle of Seven Pines Lucius CASTOR and
his brother, William, we're killed on the
field. Robert N. Hemphill, his brother
in-law, was mortally wounded, dying the
next day. Caldwell and Peden were
wounded and disabled, and William Il.
Brawley, just at the close of the day, lost
his left arm-the whole "mess" having
been thus wiped away.
w. NJ. Grier, D. D., president OF Ers-
kline College, and William ID. Brawley,
United States Judge, are the only survi-
vors.
It is by recalling incidents like this
that we realize how greatly our State has
suffered by the war. The flowers of her
youth were cut of, and when it is re-
Inemb mbered that opportunities for educa-
ton during the war and for many years
after were very slender it is no cause for
wonder that men like Abram S. Hewitt
should find grounds for criticism Of
many of the public men of to-day, for
whom the roll ia called of those who
should be among our leaders the an
swer too often is, ''Dead on the field Of

EDITORS INTELL1GENBER: Squire
Fewell, in q communication in the In
TELLIGENcER short time ago, criticizes
an article wrote for the Peoples 1Aduo-
cate. He said it came from the tail end
Of the Reform Party. It is hard to disa-
gree with this great student of finance
and statesman. Calhoun and Webster
sink into insignifcance when compared
with this great fnancier. Mayor Hewitt
would never have made those remarks at
tho banquet had he known the great
student of finance, Squire Fewell, but
some day such merit will be rewarded.
IF am the tail of the Reform party, he
is the shadow of the tail of the Conserva-
tive party-a mighty poor little shadow
at that. Then, again, he says something
about such letters as mine causing the
Coxey movement, or words to that Ell
feet. I quoted from speech Senator
Voorhees, made last fall in which he refer
red to a bond issue. I did not even
know had an idea In common with tho
commonwealers till this great statesman
pointed out the striking similarity OF our
views. Squire Fewell's writings are
about as profitable and satisfactory as
trying to carry on an animated converse
ton with Hindoo idol would be. do
not wish you, Squire Fewell, to notice
any more COMMUNICATIONS from my
pen-no, do not look down on me
from your dizzy heights. I do not care
for such distinction from man so gifted
in State craft, but will your greatness al
low me to make suggestion, when you
criticize the tail of the Reform Party or
communications therefrom, do keep in
hailing distance of the truth.

We had the pleasure of attending the
annual commencement of the Hones
Path High School during the past week.
We met many Of our acquaintances and
schoolmates, whom we are always glad
10 see. The commencement was much
enjoyed by all who attended. The reci-
tations and speeches were very good,
Among many others we met our much
loved friend. Rev. w. D. Hiott, Of vii.
liamston. We are always glad to meet
Mr.. Hiott. .He seems to be ip good
health.
The recent cold weather has damaged
the crops, especially cotton. It Is like
the old mans wheat, low but thin. We
are needing warm weather and rain. The
wheat crop is not very good. Fall oats
are an average crop. One Of our most
progressive farmers has manured his
corn the second time with cotton seed
meal and ashes, putting it around the
corn at the second plowing.
The political pot is not boiling worth a
cent. If any of our farmers want an
Office they don't say much about it.. Per
haps they are waiting for the Office to
seek the man. oh, didn't Jesse tear
Squire Fewel up. recon Jesse had his
laugh first.
Mr. John T. Green, of Bolton, was in
our midst last week. He enjoyed his
trip to Virginia and Washington very
much. He visited the different depart

Heights and Mt. Vernon, the home of
that great man, George Washington.
Several of our young people are off on

shooting affair took place this morning
six miles above Greenville, in which

his death wound.
About o'clock this morning Mr..
Lock sent u colored man, Milton john
son, up stairs to call his son to get ready
for breakfas The colored man awoke
the boy. Seeing a revolver on the man
tie, in spirit Of playfulness, he took it
and pointed it at the boys head thinking
to astonish the youth with seeing man
al his bedside with a pistol. I'm
fortunately, the revolver was self
cooking, and the negro, being unac-
quainted with the weapon, pulled the
trigger and the bullet crashed into the
boys head, turying in the left lobe of the
brain.
Several physicians have examined the
victim and pronounce the case hopeless:
The negro is almost wild on account OF
the deed, as he was very much attach
I'D to the boy. The parents exonerate
johnson from any intent to hurt their
son,-Stdte.

4 The cry OF hard times, says the Atlanta

doing anything to make times easier?
They spend $500, 900, 900 year for liquor,
40, ,000, ,00o 8 year for tobacco, and during
The past nine onths, the worst period Of
our financial depression, they have i'm
ported $1,000. 900 worth Of foreign luxu-
.ries q month. When people spend so
much money for what they do not need
there is bound to be financial strir-
7gency somewhere. About 175, 900 miners
are now en- strike. This voluntary stop
page Of work is a poor way to make times
better, Then, look att the money wasted
ON amusements. The Brooklyn handi-
cap costthe q. COO people who attended it
about $1,000 900 in wagers, admission

came out of the pockets Of poor people.

are two trees near each other and they
are known as the twins.) We were sit

other one without perceiving US. he
turned the reins over to her and climbed
the tree in order to pick her few choice
berries. When he had finished his task
he called out sweetly: "Say, sweet
heart, don't you want to see me skin
cat?" And she replied in the affirmative.
But his catship would not skin, and
crash went the limb and precipitated him
on wasp nest. When he had been in
troduced to the wasps stinging appara-
tus he bawled out "Why in thundera-
