riding bicycle nowadays. Rev. MIR.
Langston has been riding a wheel for
more than a year, and Rev. Mr.. Lee

derfully useful and convenient.

forms us that General Passenger Agent
Lumpkin, of the o. R. and c. railroad,

ton to Tirzah and return on the two

Let Everybody Come.
Remember that the first meeting of
the constitutional convention cam
paign in this county, is to be held in
Yorkville on next Monday. 1t is
worth the while of every voter to he
thoroughly informed as to the impor-
tant matters to be discussed, and
exactly as to where each candidate
stands. We hope there will be a large
crowd in attendance.
Was Not Excited.
DR.. w. G.. White desires us to say
that the suggestion that he was Sex
cited" over the Jail guarding business
last Friday night is mistake. He
says he was present when Mr.. Henry
offered to guard the Jail alone but he
was not instrumental in having posse
summoned, and in fact took no stock
in the alarm, whatever.
Down to ESQ Bales.
Mr.. B. n. Moore, than whom pro-
bably there is no better informed man
in the country on the subject, says
that at this time there are. not more
than $50 bales of unsold cotton in the
county. Of the number referred to,
there are probably as many as 100 bales
in Bethel township. There is less cot
ton in the hands of the farmers of the
county right now, probably, than at
any time since the war.

Mr.. Mellow is Satisfied.
When asked yesterday as to what
he thought of the Snuford trial, MIR.
Mellow expressed himself as having
no fault to find with either judge or
jury. He had many things to contend
against; but did his duty as he saw it,
and has no criticisms as to the verdict
or anyone connected with it. In re-
gard to the guarding of the Jail, he
said that he had heard rumors from
two different persons of an intended
lynching, and he thought it proper to
lay the matter before the judge and
solicitor; but stated to them at the
time that he did not apprehend any
danger.
Prospects of Corn Crop.
Inquiry among some of the business
men of Yorkville, develops the fact
that less Western corn was brought to
this section for sale during the past
