A "True Democrat" Blows the
Bugle.

Mr.. EDITOR: In as much ss the
Mt. Willing Democratic Club is
called to meet on Saturday even.
ing, the 2Sth inst, I hope all Dem
ocrats will turn out, (and I know
they willy, and let us organize and
get ourselves IN working order. I
take occasion here to say that, we
do not propose to be lead by Gen.
Wade Hampton or general anybody
else. In my honest opinion there
are plenty of horny-handed,
brawny-cheeked farmers who can
lead Hampton in politics success
fully, and who are determined to
follow such leaders no longer.
There are farmers to-day who
know more about political economy
in an hour than Hampton ever has
or ever will know; hence we will
give dissenting opinion by an
overwhelming majority to his new
club business.
I presume the Reformers are
alive all over the county, God
grant it,
TRUE DEMOCRAT.

NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was never a time in the his
tory of our country when the demand
for inventions and improvements in
the arts and sciences generally was so
great as now. The NConveniences OF
mankind in the factory and work
shop, the household, on the farm, and
in official life, require continual &C
cess1ons to the appurtenances and
implements of each in order to save
labor, time, and expense. The political
change in the administration of the
government does not affect the progress
of the American inventor, wi being
on the alert and ready to perceive the
existing deficiencies, does not permit
the affairs of government to deter him
from quickly conceiving the remedy to
overcome existing discrepancies. Zoo
great care cannot be exercised in choos
nga competent and skillfully attor-
ney to prepare and prosecute an ap-
plication for patent. Valuable interests
have been lost and destroyed in in
Vulnerable instances by the employ
ment of incompetent counsel, and
especially is this advice applicable to
those who adopt the "No patent, no
nav" system. Inventors who entrust
their business to this class of attorneys
do so at imminent risk, as the breadth
and strength of the patent is never
considered in view of quick endeavor
to get an allowance and obtain th'
fee then due. THE PRESS CLAIMS
COMPANY, John Wedderburn, General
Manager, GlS f street, n. W., Wash
ington, d. c.. representing Il large
number of important daily and weekly
papers, rs well as general periodicals
of the country, was instituted to pro-
feet its patrons from the unsafe
methods heretofore employed in this
line of business. The said Company
is prepared to take charge Of all patent
business entrusted to it for reasonable
| fees, and prepares and prosecutes ap-
plications generally, including
mechanical inventions, design patents
trademarks, labels, copyrights. inter-
ferences, infringements, validity re-
ports. and gives especial attention to
rejected cases. 1t is also prepared to
enter into competition with any firm
in securing foreign patents.

BABES IN THE WOODS.
Two Little Girls Were Found
With Their Skulls Crushed.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 23.-A
special from Birmingham, Ala,
says: George Sinclair's two child
rem, girls, aged two and six years
disappeared from their home near
Kutkege yesterday.
A search all night revealed this
morning their dead bedies in the
woods, their skulls having been
crushed with a bloody club which
lay beside them
Near by in pond was found
the body of Howard Jackson, a
hal-witted old man.
Whether Jackson murdered the
children while crazy and then
committed suicide, or all three
were murdered, is not yet known

Mine Creek Dots.

Mr.. EDITOR: The favorablenesl
of the wei her now is causing the
farmers to 60 at their work with
rush. Cotton is being planted right
along now in some parts. Some
say it won't do for there will be
another severe cold yet. This
prediction may be true, but we hope
not for we have had our 'nuff" o1
the cold. Some have had 10 plant
their corn over.
We notice some fruit that was
left-such as plums and currants
How they escaped we promised not
to tell. AS for peaches, we presume
you know why there is none Of
them.
Mr.. M. A. Rodgers had an OBJ.
struction thrown between him and
his plow the other day-a mule
colt.
Mr.. G. G. Lewis's school at Pine
Grove closed last Friday.
We received letter from "Van
Star" not long since, who is now
in the Nashville Normal College.
We were glad tn hear that be was
meeting with extraordinary sue
cess, and the general proceedings
of the times there were "middling."
"Van" is young man of high tone
and bright intellect, and will some
day shed great lustre upon his
country.
Mr.. G. L. Temples has become
disgusted at the rapidity of things
and borrowed him an Jx and gone
to planting cotton.
If you feel like going a-fshing
just go up on "the swamp" and
there you will find Mr.. Charlie
Butler and two or three more ''j ust
about like the same," who will 60
with you down on Saluda where the
big fish stay. Don't 90 though
without it is cold enough to freeze
your bait stiff; they might not go
with you.
Mr.. L. W. Rodgers has had a
severe attack of fever and pueu-
monia combined. He is a little
better but improves very slowly.
Well, Mr.. Editor, how are things
going to run this time? We think
"Bill" aid "Jim" could give US
come advice just here. We think
in the face of these perilous times
it is nearing the point where it be-
hooves all men to begin to look out
for No. 1. So let US every one be
true to our God and our country;
go to work with unprejudiced
minds and made good and honest
living for ourselves.
Let US not retrospect but look
forward and try to promote the
country's welfare-our own.
More when the time rolls round.

my friend, young man from Ala

spring while the other two boys
kept on their way. AS it was q
nice, cool place we sat down near
the spring and began to talk of the
world and its ways. am no COM
munist, but as / sat there I could
not help but mediate over the
condition of our country. Some,
I thought, know not how to manage
their immense wealth, while others
must suffer for the necessariea of
life. In word, it seemed as if l
could see the future destiny of this
our country as she grew from bad
to worse until the masses could no
longer speak of her with pride as
their free and happy home. l
could picture IN my MIND the rlch
as they grew richer and the poor
as they grew poorer and poorer,
losing liberty after liberty, until
they were reduced to a state of
serfdom. How little do the wealthy
classes ever think of the hard lines
the poor have to live.
While contemplating these
things, my friend broke the silence
by saying: "Well, Dunovant, do
you suppose we will ever do any
thing in the world towards better
ing its condltion?" l told him
that was very broad question,
