! Last Saturday tho Candidate
for county offices had their last
say before the voters at Pick ems
Court House. There were about
three hundred present and the
meeting was called to order by
President w, II. Bowcu. and was
opened With pt"ver by 7. J. Rookie.
AUDITOR.
The first speaker was j. G..
Stone for Auditor. He only an
nounced his candidacy and denied
the rumor that he had been hired
by Auditor Bryant to run in order
to injure j. e. Parsons.
Mr.. Christopher was next, he
did likewise, and in order to prove
his compentency for the office,
distributed some specimens of his
pensmanship.
S. j. Robinson for the same Of
flee thought he had tho best claims
on the people for it, as he had

provision as to education changed
50 as to let the white people edu-
cate their children with their own
funds, and the colorcd the same.
The State that is best governed is
the ono that is least governed.
Have fewer laws, and better laws.
Reduce the homestead law down
to the household goods and then
we will got rid of paying out 80
much for recording leans and
mortgages. Let us say we can
make better constitution than
the negroes and carpet-baggers or
quit crying while supremacy. Let
us set the old State colleges free,
turn them loose and throw our
arms around the bright children
of Reform, Clemson and the In
dustrial school at Rock Hill. The
dispensary law is the only solution
of the whiskey problem. He was
in favor of the profit feature Of
the dispensary law being put into
the free school funds. When the
Reformers took charge of the State
there was great danger of it's fall
ing through, but now she had
passed the danger line and was
safe. He plead for unity of the
white people.
The United States is financially
sick. Capitol has concentrated in
the hands of few. Women and
children are crying for bread, and
armies of idle people marching
all through the land. What is
the cause? It was caused by the
iniquitous financial system of the
government. It was not over pro-
duction nor because we did not Ia
Dor enough. The people of the
United States had done more in
the last hundred years than the
whole Of Europe had done in twen-
ty centuries. He was in favor of
the government doing away with
tho middle class and loaning mon
ey to tho people direct and at a |
low rate of interest. He would
not vote for Tillman If any one
else could be found who stood fiat
footed upon the diamonds Of the
,armors, and he did not consider
Iillman stood for the measures

Up.
w. T. O'Dell said that after be-
ng preached to for about three
hours he would make his sermon
short. He would not worry their
patience. He introduced the bill
for the building of the new Court
House. He supported the county
government bill, the dispensary
bill and others which, he thought
of interest and benefit to the peo-
plo. He thought every thing had
been so thoroughly discussed that it
was unnecessary for him to say
anything moro.

From Prntcrs Creek.

The old folks singing associa-
tion met with Praters Creek
church, Sunday August, Goth.
From the novelty of the offer or
some other cause, this Association
attracts n larger audience than
almost any other enterprise. The
singing was represented from the
mountains to the railroad, and
all seemed to be captivated by its
enchantmens. To say the exer-
else were fine, fails to give any
description. 1t was truly heart
stirring, soul-stirring, and some
times the emotion was 80 great
that it reached the climax of tear
producing. The old folks acquit-
ted themselves very creditably,
Easter-anthem, Cannon, Solos,
Duets, &C., music rendered with.
out an discrepancy. A portion of
the day was allowed the young
folks and the music they rendered
was sublimely grand. Professors
j. G. Garrett and e. M. Bolding
conducted the services. The AS
sociation cannot express thanks
to Preseason John D. Edens, the
organist Of the association, for
his untiring efforts which has ad-
vanced the interest and promoted
the success of the Association
and to the Misses Tompkins and
Boldlng who presided 50 graceful
ly at the organ. From the mag
nanimlty and hospitality of these
people, the Association was pleased
to acknowledge the Praters people
never do things by halves.
The Association adjourned to
met with Oolenoy church, the
2nd Sunday in September, at 8 q.
M, and at Enon church, the Bird
Sunday, September, 8 a. M, and
the said churches having tondered
invitations to the Association.
BY order of Association,
