News from Franklin.
Mr.. EDITOR: Farmers here
abouts are all trying again to gtt
ready to make some more cotton
and less corn. Hard times is the
universal cry, and of all classes of
men the farmer should be the last
man to make such cry, for they
ought to be and could be the most
independent people in the world.
With hog and hominy no man can
perish. But when man makes a
hard bed he ought to lie on it, and
cotton makes a hard bed.
Grip has left this section, and as
consequence the gee-haw is heard
again from the plow-boy, and the
axe and maui are heard in every
direction. A good sign; and even
Cuffee has made up his mind to
work little better than ever be-
fore.
Miss Sal,ie Reel, from the Dun
tonville section, is visiting in this
vale of tears, and some of the boys
will shed tears when she leaves.
Miss Sallie is a charming young
lady, and blessed will be the man
who shares the trials and joys of
life with her.
Miss Agnes Morgan has -four
ishing school at Barr's Chapel,
and Is well liked by both patrons
and pupils, She will teach Bible
class at Barr's Chapel and we look
for much improvement both in
church and school.
We see your next door neighbor
still gives the dispensary law "hail
Columbia"
We do not believe a word as to q
constable striking lady in Char
leston. Why? Because South
Carolina has no sucn men. Even
the lowest of the low have too
much respect for women to strike
one.
The Big Paper man reminds me
of an occurrence in Alabama away
back in the good old days. A feller
by the name of Johnson fell in
love with gal by the name of
Sal. One Sunday Johnson went
to see Sal, and Sal persuaded him
to stay till after supper that they
might have a little love chat after
wards. Well at the supper table,
ma being little unwell, Sal had
to pour out the coffee and she mo-
toned johnson to sit on her left
that he might not get burnt with
the coffee pot. I, made him very
happy to be so near Sal, and while
looking all around 10 see if every
body was as happy as be was big
black COW bug dropped into his
cup of coffee. Not seeing the bug
when it fell in the cup he was
puzzled to know how tgot there,
but concluded that Sal put it there
to try his love, thinking that if he
drank the coffee with the bug in
it his love would be true. He
would look at the bug and then
look at Sal, and at last concluded
that rather than hurt SAILS feel
ings he would shut his eyes and
60 it blind and drink coffee, bug
and all, and SO he did. This we
suppose is the way with the Big
Paper. Rather than lose the big
pay received for harping on Till
man and the dispensary he shuts
his eyes and swallows down the
e. eatest curse ever known to man,
the barrooms. We are still for
Tillman and the dispensary.

Senator Butler, as promised in
January, was to have been in Ben
nettsville, Marlboro county, on the
first Monday in this month to
speak on national politics. This
was probably the first gun of the
campaign.
There will be public meeting
of the Sunbeam band Oh Sunday
afternoon next in the Baptist
church at 8 o'clock, at which W.
S. Jacobs and S. MCGOWAN
Simkins will deliver short ad-
dresses to the children. All
denominations are invited to be
present.
So far as we have been able to
learn less quantity of fertilizers
has been bought by the farmers of
Edgefeld county this spring than
for many years. 1t may be case
of necessity with them, that they
are not able to buy, but we believe
this necessity will be blessing in
the end for we are sure the indis-
criminate use of commercial fer
tilizers has been a curse.
Lexington county has brought
forward the name Of J. Walter
Mitchell, Esq, for Congress, to
fill Judge Brawley's place. Mr..
Mitchell is an Edgefeld county
man, and Edge6eld county would
like to see him win. The Lexing-
ton Dispatch thus speaks of him:
"Judge Mitchell is an honest,
courteous, and clever gentleman, a
red hot. reformer, in thorough SYM
pathy with the Alliance demands,
of broad and liberal views, and if
elected would do credit to himself
and his constituents in Congress,
and we would be pleased to hear
of his nomination"
We heard Methodist preacher
of this county in speaking of the
dispensary law recently say this +:
81 prefer prohibition, but if the
present dispensary law could re-
main OH the statute book twenty
five years, there will not be a
young man in South Carolina
then who would have ever been in
barroom or a gambling saloon
in all his life, unless he learned
these things, and did these thing
out Of the State. This makes the
law one of incalculabls promise,
and will bring down blessings
from heaven on the people that
uphold and sustain it.
The Confederate veterans who
met here on last monday were
very few in number. ~ fact it was
very small affair. The impress
sion has gone abroad throughout
Edgefeld county that this
organization is to be used for
political purposes and this i'm
preston, whether true or false has
kept many very many from joining
We are assured by members
tha,!there is no political scheme o.
purpose involved by the old
soldiers themselves, and any
attempt to turn tin that direction
will be promptly and sharply
rebuked. We hope therefore, this
thing won't drag any longer, and
that every old soldier in the
county will unite himself with
this organization. 1t is duty he
owes to himself and posterlty

Mr.. Rainsford CantelOu.

Mr.. Rainsford Cantelou died at
his home in the suburbs Of Edge
field on Saturday night last, aged
about sixty-one years. For many
weary months he had languished
upon bed of extreme illness, and
no words can express the anguish
of his dear ones as they witnessed
sufferings which their tender min
istrations could not relieve. After
long and patient waiting for re-
lease his tired soul entered into
rest. In the early dawn of an
earthly Sabbath he passed into the
joys of the eternal Sabbath with
its calm and peace and full fruition
of earthly hopes and longings. Mr..
Cantelou was one of our most
estimable citizens, a man of high,
unb!cmished character, generous,
hospitable, upright in heart and
life, blameless in his relations az
husband, father, friend, and citi-
zen. He was a successful and
prosperous man, q most influential
member of our community, whose
influence for good will long be felt.
Years ago he joined our village
Baptist Church and was a working
Christian, frequently giving testi-
mony in the congregation of his
faith in, and love for Christ.
He leaves widow, three sons,
Messrs. James, Joseph H., and
Bettis Cantelou, and one daughter,
Miss Mary Cantelou. To these
bereaved ones we tender our deep
est sympathy in their heavy aflic-
ton.

years. Like the most of his fellow
countrymen he is not slow to anger
and when he resents an insult he
does SO in q prompt and vigorous
manner. Constable Streebel is
large man of dark complexion
and physically looks like he ough
to be more than match for hi

Empty is the Dog House,

A party living south of Andover,
learning that a party about four miles
from him had recovered from a Jaw
ing" administered to him by party OF
the first part and his wife, and know
ing that said party of the second part
had willfully, maliciously and felon.
iously passed along the road within
thirty-six hours of the time that his
dog was fou nd dead, evidently thot'
it his duty to his family, his church,
and his country to have him arrested
and transported.
Accordingly, on the 18th. day of
March he swore out a warrant for
said party; stating the above facts
land others not facts.) Said party of
the second part was arrested by the
bold and daring officer of the law,
but was allowed twenty-one hours to
prepare himself for the next world
or a worse place, and was allowed to
accompany his conscience (if he had
any, to his home, to the evident cha
grin of party of the first part, who
prayed that he might be set as night
watch inside one of the commodious

nifcent editice constructed near the
