Squire FeweII Writes from Another
County.

Editors Intelligencer: We have now
the Evans manifesto and the State DEM
ocratic (?) Executive Committee and Irby
edict to draw from. What next we don't
know. What we do know is, that all this
blarney offered to the Conservatives by
the Tillman-Irby-Evans Ring is only a
catch to lure US into trap. The negro
rule scare and the concessions offered to
us to join q primary for delegates 10 the
Convention are like Satan's promises to
the Saviour. (See Matthew $3.50; Luke
4: s, 6 and ~ It is only scheme to get
us to worship them, and to lure US away
from opposing them with ticket Of our
own. My opinion is, that If we take any
hand In the election Of delegates to the
Convention, We had better put up full
ticket and ask everybody, white and
black, who are in favor Of just and
equitable Constitution to join us in elect.
ing them. This stuff about negro domi-
nation and white supremacy is all nom
sense. The negro don't want any office,
as general thing-they only want an
equal showing before the law with the
white man, and that he is entitled to.
We are in no danger Of carpet -bagism.
It is not white supremacy that the Ring
are 30 anxious abcut-it's Tillman-Irby-
Evans and their Ring supremacy that
they are 80 anxious about. AS to the
primary, do not expect to ever partici-
pate In another one, and In this I'm not
alone, for have heard number Of men
say they were done voting In Tlllman
primary election. Thev talk about 8
Democratic primary. We have no or
ganized Democratic party In this State.
All who want to be tied up by all Irby
primary can do 30; as for myself, and /
only presume to speak for myself, / do
not expect to 60 into It with them.
The wheat crops look better III Spar
tanburg and York Counties than they do
at home. Farmers are better up with
their work here than in Anderson Coun-
ty, They have not had near 80 much
rain as we have had. We had Some rain
here on last Thursday evening, and q
little hail with 1t, but not enough to do
any damage, and on Friday evening and
night we had very cold east rain-the
coolest rain remember to have seen at
this time Of year. There will be an
abundant fruit crop in this and adjoining
Counties, If it is not destroyed by storm
or hail. I have seen peach-trees with
more peaches on them, but most Of the
trees have as many as they can mature
we'll, and I think we will have q better
quality than we would II the trees had
more on them.
We understand that one of our (?) citi-
zens of the Piedmont section lost his
pocket book and all the money he had in
Charleston. He went down on Mr..
Smiths excursion two weeks ago, and 1t
is thought by some that he was 80 an%-
ious to support his "Notle Leader" and
keep up the dispensary system, that he
pstronized it little too liberal or i'm
bibed some of the "chemically pure" too
freely, thereby losing his reason.-or be-
coming non, con.pns me1,tus, 30 to speak
and being left without guardian, he
scared away to dream.land, the "chemi-
cally pure" being Of the dreamy sort
and to his discontinue, when he awoke,
he found that he was minus Of the where
withal to pay his nights lodging his
pocket book and contents thereof; said
to have amounted to something like
thirty dollars, was no where to be found.
If 1t had been "rotten anti" who had
happened to such luck, 1t would have
made no diference-it would have been
good enough for hint was no more
than he deserved-but it is too bad for
one Of the faithful, especially when Mr..
Cleveland has contracted our currency
into such narrow limits, to lose all his
cash at one swoop. I reckon he will be
more careful next time. He ought to
have more respect for his Noble Leader"
anyhow, than to be venturing off that far
from home without some one to look
after him. I don't see why h0 would
want to 60 to city where the citizens
applaud and cheer that gallant and grand
old hero, Wade Hampton, like they did
few days ago. Charleston is not fit
place for the extreme and official Tillman-
ties to visit-it's only good enough for
us Conservatives to 60 to.
The cotton mill at thisiplace is nearing
completion, and will be in operation by
the middle or last of July. They are
building mammoth rock penstock, and
will put In two Of jas. LefePs 74-inch
Samson Turbine wheels, and WILL put IN
two more when the mill is entirely filled
with machinery. They had the misfor-
tune to get their mill burned at this place
last September, but with the push and
energy that the stockholders have they
can't afford to let their capital be idle.
The capacity of the mill. when COM
rlete, will be about 5000 spindles. Mr..
J. A. Carroll, of Gaffney City, is Presi-
dent, Mr.. r. P. Roberts Is Secretary and
Treasurer and General Manager, and Mr..
J. C. Plonk Superintendent.
