blinded by the old aristocracy and the
gold bugs that can't see itand enjoy
it as others do. So far as I am COM
ccrned the campaign meetings will not
gain or lose any votes from me, for,
don't intend to patronize the meetings
nor do expect to vote in the primary
election. After all the nominations
have been made by primaries or other
wise, if there are any Of the nominees
who I want to vote for I will vote for
them at the general election and not
otherwise, unless I change my present
opinion, which is said wise men some-
times do, but fools never do. Ican't
see what good there is in candidate
for Governor in this State going
around making stump speeches Of
which the principal part Of is denounc-
ing President Cleveland and the gold +
bugs, etc. What has Mr.. Cleveland
done or what has he not done that he
is receiving so much abuse from these
thimble.skein-c -cimlim-headed fools for?s
He has taken the oath Of Office pre-
scribed by the Constitution to execute
the laws of the United States, Now
if he is not doing that there is a:law
to make him do it or get down and !
out. If they can't enlighten the peo-
pie on something which will be Of
some material benefit to them they had
better stay at home. As for my own
self, and I do not presume to speak
for no one else, I don't expect 10 gos
to any Of their campaign meetings. 6;

do to run my business with as much
success as I would like to, but there
are people who don't do any better than
I do who seem to think they could
take hold of our National Government
and manage it better than Mr.. CleYe-s;
land does. Mr.. Cleveland is not to-
blame for what Congress does or does
not do, yet he must take allof the
abuse for what Congress ought todo.
T reckon when Mr.. Tillman gets to !,
Washington the U. S. Senate will
wake up and go to work, if they don't
he will get his spies after them with
their Winchester rifles and pistols Of

will get some laws for the benefit Of

they will hold caucus or ring and
select those who they want to repre-
sent the "refo-mer" idea in the Leg
islature. I think that would be the
best, but that would be going contrary
to the principles Of the reform plat,
form, for they denounce "ring rule
as being the plan of the old oligarohy.
We have had delightful and re-
freshing rain this Monday) afternoon
which was being badly needed by our
crops, corn in particular cotton didn't
seem to be suffering SO much for rain
as the corn crop and gardens. If the
rains will hold out from now on the
drouth we have had through this
month will not injure the crops, for
some of us would have been badly in
the grass if it had been as wet through
the month Of June as it usually is.s
After this rain it will be good time
to finish sowing your stubble land in
peas, and if you have any good rioh
fat land put little manure on it and
plant you another roasting ear patch
1t will come in, and it will help you
to fatten your hogs, as well as to fur.
nish your table with one Of the best
dishes we poor farmers have, that is
fried roasting ears. If you can't eat.
all you want kill fried chicken and
send after me.
lam very thankful to those friends
who have expressed words of commen-
dation in the INTELL1aENcER for my
opinions as expressed through your
paper. A few words Of approval will
help to soften the abuse which we are,
receiving from the cimlin-heads occa-.
