taking in consideration the scarcity
of plants till late, therefore it is gen.
erall,' small, with a few exceptions.
Mr.. Jack Welch, Of Douglas, has the
finest we lave seen. Most tobacco
that was set very early is said to be
buttoning too low, which is often the
case. Eve hear of some that will be-
gin curing next week.

to appeal TO factional prejudices, but
we say that John Gary Evans is the
true representative of the Reform
movement now before the people and
that his defeat would mean nothing
more nor less than a reputation Of
the policy pursued the past six years
by the people and carried out by
Ben Tillman, the greatest Commoner
of the age. All this stuff about the
bond deal is political clap-trap to
cause suspicion in the minds OF the
people. If the records prove any
thing they prove that Governor I'LL
man and Treasurer Bates saved to
the State in refunding the State DEBT
thousands and thousands of dollars
in spite of the malicious attempts to
thwart them and to destroy the
States credit. The record also
proves that John Gary Evans, before
he was governor, became one OF the
attorneys for one of the brokers who
had the placing of the bonds; that
his connection with this broker was
long before he was governor and per
fectly legitimate and proper, and that
when he was nominated to the high
Office of governor he divorced him
self from all law practice. The
record clearly shows that Lawyer
Evans did not become connected
with the case until after the State hao
completed the transaction and thai
he was employed to help the broke'
to collect his commissions from the
syndicate that had the commission:
locked up under an Injunction pend
| ing lawsuit in which the heirs OF q
deceased member of the syndicate
was interested. It is not matter
that the State has one cent of interest
in and never had, and all this hula,
balloo is nothing but John Gary
Evans enemies beating tomtoms tc
defeat him. Tillman is in the Sen
ate and be is terror there, and with
such an able lieutenant as the gov
ernor, well might the gold-bugs buy
up opposition.
We say to our readers that if John
Gary Evans is a thief, as his enemies
would have US believe, why in the
name of common sense do they moi
come out and make direct charge
and not get some irresponsible lndl'
vidual to go about with insinuations
Evans will succeed Irby in the Sen
ate and his enemies had just as vel
content themselves with it IN spite o.
Duncan's insinuations and Earle's ap'
plication for little place on Till

SILVER IN SALEM.

New Zion, June ia few days
Mr.. L. P. Hardy, of New Zion, found
fifty cents in silver in his field. He
can't account for it unless it rained
down last week. He is blowing deep
to see if he can't find more and B. NJ.
Hardy and W. L. Gowdy are trying
nets to catch all that falls in the next
rain. Look out, boys, for free silver,
for it is raining down.
Three or four boys called on Mr..
II. G. Dennis, of New Zion, to go
rabbit bunting in his corn field and
say that their dogs got lost and can't
be found.
Salem's corn, cotton, and tobacco
are very fine.
Mr.. W. E. Flemming, Of New Zion,
who has been living the bachelors
life for about five years, has just ccm-
pleted a nice little cottage. It is
thought that he is going to get mar
ried some time soon.
Since the heavy rain the past week
General Green has come to see US all,
and I think, made his visit little
too long at j. E. Green's But J. E.
Green can't insult General Green;
nothing can now, except old Jack
Frost, for he has let MIN stay too
long, so long until it feels like home
to him.
Mr.. ]. ". Kennedy, of New Zion,
has small patch Of tobacco that is
very fine. It will average waist high
and the leaves will measure in width
sixteen to eighteen inches and in
height about twenty to thirty inches
This tobacco was set out the 25th Of
April. He gave it to bis girls and it
never did wilt, so we can account for
Mr.. Kennedy's fine tobacco.
It is said that Mr.. A. 0. Hudson,
of New Z::on has one of the finest
chnfa patches in the county.
Mr. John Henry DuBose, of New
Zion, is very i'll. We hope to see
him up again soon.
