The Ahbeville Press and Banner
saws "the News and Courier will
have to acknowledge the supre-
macy of law in South Carolina,

The opposition to the stock law

hcw it came about" by Uncle Re-

President Harling is very anx-
i,us to get up big meeting of the
Confederate Survivors on the last
Friday in February, in the court
house at this place, and authorizes

notion there's politics in this
Confederate Survivors business,
but Chaplain J. P. Mealing assures
us this is not so. eff there was
any politics in it he would have
nothing to do with it," he says.
Stonewall Jackson Penn, colored,
was in town on Tuesday of this
week. He drove bull hitched to
a one-bull wagon. His ostensiblc
reason for coming to town was to
have Auditor Halliwanger "sess
his bull" His most important
object however was to sell a shote
which he had in q box in the
wagon. For the shote he asked
$3.50, not all cash, but was willing
to accept one dollar in cash and
for the balance he would take" he
said, "a second handed mule with a
last year lien on him. So if any
gentleman wants to make such ali
exchange here is the opportunity
of life time.
Squire Gossett,of Easley, a litter
anti, has sold his interest in the
Easley Democrat to Mr.. T. c. Mar
tin, a Tillmanite. In his saluta-
tory Mr.. Martin filings out the fol-
lowing poetry:
I can't cuss Tillman like the Squire,
Some how or others like his ire,
Or. perhaps need some anti fire
10 blow him up to the sky or higher.
So I'll Just put on my Tillmon glasses
And call the ants crowd Of asses
And give to them in broken doses
What they've been giving the people
Moses,
Then if they think this papers fopped
And wish to have their paper stopped
We will drop you off the roll by hollow,
But never give you lack the dollar.
