Squire Fewell's Letter.
Ifanybody don't believe that Anderson.
County will have plenty of corn to make
hominy, whether they have the hog or
not, just let him take trip through the
County and make survey of the corn
fields, and he will be convinced. am
glad to see it, too, for tell you it is
mighty bad doing without corn. If we
have full crib Of corn we can have a
full smoke house, (but that is something
the young generation don't know any
thing about, so ] will explain: it is
house to salt, pack and cure hos. meat in
bacon,) a'full pantry, and fat horses and
mulUs, and fat, sleek milk cows and
plenty of milk and butter, and lots Of
good fat chickens and turkeys, and fat
hogs, In fact, everything will be full and
fat, but Just let your corn crib be empty
everything else about the house will be
empty. II we have plenty of corn grow
ing, we are not afraid to pull mess Of
roasting ears every day, which, when
properly cooked, are one Of the most
wholesome and nutritious, as well as pal
atable, diet that we can eat. When prop
once or twice day, they will never suffer
with constipation.
In company with neighbor King took
q trip to Anderson last Saturday, and I
was delighted to see so many fields of
good corn and peas, and, too, see near
" every one on the road has adopted this
s'great-adviser's plan, and has few
acres of late corn-planted after wheat or
oats was harvested-and it is good and
would have been better if we had have
had plenty of rain. I heard that gen.
tleman in Virginia said that he didn't be-
lieve esquire Fewell'' made his living
farming, because he advised planting
corn all the year. Well, didn't mean to
but if he will come down here can show
him good fields of corn, which have been
planted as late as the last of June and the
first of July. You see, my Virginia
friend, we have the hest climate, the best
country, and some of the best people and
some Of the biggest fools to be found in
these United States. So come down and
live with us and enjoy our good, health
full climate, and help us to 1Ixuriate on
fried chicken and good, sweet roasting
ears and great big delicious watermelons,
and think you will like it.
think our Legislature will send Gov.
Tillman to the United States Senate this
fall. So that we will soon be rid Of him
and his dispensary, and maybe we will
| have little peace in this State. Lean see
IL, Lo1 iro fo hroo1y hn .no1tftoo1
hill, for our reformer friends ar0 begin
ming to mingle with us little more soci-
ally, and we have been voting with them
ard helping them to nominate their best
men, and Mr.. Latimer is speaking kind
| words about Mr.. Cleveland, and COM
mending mine and Mr.. Cleveland's s fnan-
cial policy, and our administration, but
am afraid Mr.. Tillman will close down
upon Brother Latimer, if he don't hold
| his tongue and mind how he talks. But
| notwithstanding all the ups and downs,
and the defeat Of our neighbor, Mr.. Pack,
am getting more hopeful of better times
every day. Now, if we (that is, Mr..
Cleveland and myself,) had have gone
| and signed the Seigniorage Coinage Bill,
and not said anything to Mr.. Wilson
about the tariff, and been careless and
unconcerned-like, and then signed the
Senate Tariff bill, which neither one of us
could approve, for it was not what we had
recommended or suggested. nor what the
people wanted, you see this prospect for
| improvementi in business would not nave
! loomsa Up SC Gnick-in fact, 1t would not
have come at all. So I hope the people
will be patient and bear with us, and, my
word for it, we will have the greatest
boom in business in two years that we
| have had in years, and, mark it down,
Mr.. Cleveland will be the most popular
man in America at the end of bis admin
istration, for he has the brain and the
nerve 70 carry out his convictions, and is
| honest and true to the people. So don't
be slandering him for not doing some
thing that you don't know anything
about.
] did want to say something to our
| County Com missioners in this letter, but
! I don't know whether they read the In.
rELL1aENcER or not. If they don't take
| It maybe they can borrow one. What
wanted to say: do wish they wonld
come down this way and appoint some
oyerseers and have our roads worked out
| before winter. I don't mean our road,
| for we volunteered and worked it out
last spring, and are going to do the same
thing again this fall, but there are other
| roads in this section that havn't been
worked in nearly two years. So come on
| and spend day or two with us and make
your two dollars day, and if you don't
need it you can give it to the Church or
some other good cause.
The hay crop is fine il this section and
some of US are trying to save it. Plenty
of good crab grass hey is good thing to
have, and now Is the time to save 1t.
Our farmers could save enough crab
| 1o- ~ tho forranae and Qh0ut in
| the little corners of The fields, where they
can't Get to with the plow, to do on5 or
! two mules, if they would only cut it.
We are scarce of news just now, but if
somebody will marry will write to you
right away.

Rev. S. J. Cowan has struck his tent
near Piedmont and pitched it at Way
cross, in Greenville County, some three
miles east Of Piedmont. We hope he is
doing much good, and If all who have
professed religion at his meetings.. or
even if one of them will hold out, then
he has done good. 1t does look like any
man with common sense cou!o quit
| drinking liquor, whether he got to be
yery religious or NOT, but if he wants to
be religious and sober, too, why all the
better.
We are needing rain badly, and don't
want to see too much of it, either. we
havn't had good rain through this Sec
ton since the first of August. Our cotton
crop will be small, but we will not have
to buy corn with any of it.
To-day (Monday) is the day for the
| Convention Of Conservatives to meet IN
Columbia. I think the best thing they
can do will be to organize and advise
with each other as to the best thing to do,
and adjourn until after the Reform Con-
vention does their work. I confess that
this ''great adviser" is not able to advise
definitely on this question now, but If 1t
was to be left to me .alone would say
hands off for another two years and let
the Tillmanites have it. If they can
stand it, can. Learned during the war
that l could stand as much as any other
man, although I was mere boy then.
So if they tax me too high they will have
to tax themselves in proportion. So let
her roll, "the lucky mare wins the mon
ey."
