Our community was saddened on last
Sunday morning when it was known that
Mc. L NJ. Tilley Yves dead. Though not
unexpected, it nevertheless sent thrill of
sorrow through our hearts. Some ten days
ago be was stricken with paralysis of the
brain, and was for the greater part Of the
time, until death, unconscious. Mr.. Tilley
had passed the three score and ten mile
pos: of life, but being all his life an active
business man was well preserved and
would have passed for many years young
eI. as friend and neighbor, as kind
and indulgent father, as an unassuming,
God fearing man. he will be missed-miss-
ed by his pastor and Church, missed by
all who knew him. His body was laid
beside that Of his wife in the Providence
Cemetery, on the day following his death
to await the final resurrection, large con-
course of friends and relatives witnessing
the services. which were conducted by his
former pastor, Rev. IT. A.. Thornton, of
Hartwell, Ga, from John 1871. 1t was a
most appropriate and timely sermon. THE
grief-stricken children and other relatives
have the sympathy OF a host Of friends in
this sad hour of ELI 1ctIon.

Cotton Growers Association.

EDITORS INTELLIGENCER: You have
doubtless seen an account of the action
taken by the Cotton Growers Associa-
ton, which met in Columb bia during Fair
week. The general opinion by those in
formed as to the cause of the low price of
cotton now, is that it is caused by specu-
lation in futures We decided in that
convention to call a meeting in each
County in South Carolina for tho first
Monday in December, and urge every
cotton grower, with bankers, lawyers,
merchants, and all the professions who
are interested in advancing the price of
cotton, to meet at the County seat in each
County at that time and aid in every way
possible in this undertaking. l, there
fore, ask that you publish in your paper
a notice of the meeting and urge through
the editorials full attendance. We want
grand rally on the first Monday in De-
cember, and desire the presence OF every
man in Anderson County who is inter-
ested in advancing the price of cotton.
We expect concert of action throughout
this State and the Soathern cotton grow
ing States, and have no doubts as to the
result of prompt, united, decided action.
Very respectfully,
A, e.. IATINER.

The Cotton Growers Convention to
be held in Atlanta on the 18th OF De-
cember may be able to accomplish
some good if the politicians are kept
out Of it and made to understand that
their services are not needed. Here
tofore every movement inaugurated by
the farmers for their mutual benefit
has been captured by the politicians
who would use it for their own selfish
motives, and who, by attempting to
array the farmers against every other
class or business interest, would Grip
pie the organization and destroy it's
influence. This is an agricultural
country, and everybody is interested
in the welfare and success Of the
farmers, for their success means the
success of every other business. At
the same time the farmer needs the
encouragement and aid of every other
business man, and he will have it if
he refuses to make war on other avo-
cations. Past experience should be q
lesson to them.

Occasionally we hear of corn shucking.
The last one was at Mr.. j. Nj. Stack s and

an abundent supply of candy and chewing
gum for the fair sex, and for the young

approval of the gentleman of the house
Howbeit, the corn was snucked, after
which the crowd (total 63) repaired to the

The farmers are about done gathering
and are improving the :imeby cursing the
money powers and abusing the merchants.
We move and second the motion that they
let up on the merchant and buy, borrow
or beg a kicking machine and attach
themselves thereto and let it on with full
force until they are willing to admit that
they tried to glut the world in cotton in
stead of making living at home. We
farm to make living, and to enrich our
selves, and the merchant sells goods to live
and to make money, and in the spring the
farmer wants him to run him, and at this
season he hates him because he does run
him. Again, we say let up On the mer-

The Future OF the Hog.

What will be the future of the hog?
What will his numbers be? What will
his price be? What will his indiyid-
uality be?
Fifty years ago they raised cotton
in the Southern States and sold it for
so cents a pound. The producers
made money; they bought their pro.
visions elsewhere. Cotton decreased
in value to % cents pound. but still
they grew it at good profit, and
bought their flesh food of the corn
producing States. But cotton came
down to Is cents pound and still
they produced it. But necessity is
the mother of invention, and about
this time the cry went up, "Hhat
shall we do to be saved?" They be-
gan to see that they could not produce
their chief product so cheaply and buy
one of the great necessities abroad.
Can we raise corn and hogs here at
home? Experiment set in along that
line and resulted favorably Cotton
came on down to 10 cents pound,
experimenting became general, and it
was demonstrated that the sunny South
was self-sustaining, and no longer de-
pended on her Northern neighbors for
her meat product.
Cotton came on down to . cents a
pound and even lower, and the people
of the South turned their attention to
ward stock and grain raising, and as a
result the South is developing into a
wonderful.country, and tits destined to
rival what we call the great corn-pro-
ducipg States in the number Of hogs
and bushels Of corn.
And instead of the once valuable
buyer and consumer that she was, she
has become almost self f-sustaining, and
very soon will be throwing her pro
duct on the markets Of the world
cheaper than her Northern sister

Attention, Prohibitionists !!

TowNvILLE, S. c., Nov. II, 1897.
To the Voters of anderson County: It is
only few weeks before the converting OF
the General Assembly. The condition of
affairs will necessitate some change in the
present management Of the whisky traf.
tic in this State. We cannot afford to 60
back to the open saloon under any condi-
tions, nor can we hope for anything
much better under the present state ofaf-
fairs. The people ofSouth Carolina voted
for prohibition, and they are far more
unanimous for it to-day than ever before.
The failure of the dispensary has solved
the matter of halfway, half-hearted, COM
promising work. We cannot afford to
make any compromises or concessions to
the heartless monster, which is the source
of so much pauperism, misery and crime.
Will some one whose heart is in the
work, who is friend to humanity and
loyal to God, at each voting precinct in
Anderson County, secure the blank petit
tions from Thos. LaMotte, 1871 Main ST.,
and get all the voters Of his precinct to
sign the petition, to be presented at the
next General Assembly, asking them to
make such changes in the laws as will
prohibit the manufacture end sale of in
toxicating liquors as beverage. When
all the names are secured, who will sign
it, return the list to Mr.. LaMotte to be
presented to the Legislature at the oppor-
tune time. Don't delay in this matter,
for the time is short. Don't think some
body else will attend to this; they may
not, and this is your business, you who
read this, I am speaking 10. You as one
who must give an account to God for the
innocent blood you might have saved.
You can't afford TO leave rattlesnake in
your house tC bite your children, neither
can you afford to die and leave this mon
ster demon in the land to destroy your
children and grandchildren, and rob and
dishonor your God. May your conscience
and reason stir you up.

The movement in some ofthe church"

the ground that he is of pagan origin, IL
making certain degree of progress. DR..
John Hall has barred Santa Claus from
his church, the Rev. S. Parks Cadman
will also obliterate him from the Christ
mas observance this year, and Mrs. R. s.
Townsend, who is we'll known in mis-
sionary work, is doing what she can
against the ancient presiding spirit of the
festival. The sentiment in his favor,
however, is So overwhelming that st.
Nicholas is likely to maintain his place
in the minds and hearts of children the
world over.
1t is with narrow-souled people as
with nsrrow-necked bottles the less they
have in them, the moro noise they make
in pouring it out.

ton.

"A cheap watch is usually in sympathy

in the coal and iron region of Ala

Once more Mr. Neill comes to the
front with his cotton estimates. On
the first of September, or thereabouts,
he guessed that the crop would reach
ten and half million bales. He now
revises this guess so far as to announce
that the minimum yield of the Ameri-
can crop will be ten and half million
bales, and predicts that the price in
Liverpool will fall to 27-9d. This
means about 5 cents on this side, and
even less, for the average grades.
