man Wilson, Latimer and Finley of
this State spoke too. So did Major
John +. Jones, of Blacksburg. Rev.
J. d. Bailey, of Cowpens made an
historical address. The best of order
prevailed. The local authorities took
precaution of swearing in several
policemen to keep order and the
general committee provided marshals
to see that the ladies were seated.
Barrels of ice water were on hand to
Iuench the sting of thirst. Plenty
to eat had been provided. Each
family or ncig ghborhood coming to-
gethcr and making picnic and in
viting friends. Thus the whole crowd
who had brought no dinner were pro-
vided r.by others.
The speeches were all tame and
bore strictly on the Revolutionary
war and its attendant circumstances,
both before and after. And the
general verdict was that Cowpens
battle ground should be converted
into q national park.
TO our list of Revolutionary heroes
it was our pleasure to add quite a
number of other names We hadn't got
before.
The grounds the evening before
the celebration presented quite
novel aspect. The woods covering
the battle ground looked as if they
had been converted into one large
bivouac. Wagons, buggies, tents,
horses, mules and other species of
paraphcYnalia necessary to make
camp outfit was on the ground, in
cluding many ladies in buggics, way
ons, etc.
The large stage, capable of seating
100 persons, was beautifully deco
rated with the national colors and a
perfusion Of evergreens. The present
erected by the Daughters
of the Revolution, and Washington
Light Infantry in 1868, was lraped
in the constitutional red, white and
blue. The national colors lloatcd
triumphantly at the top of Il massive
flag staff. Over the speakers stand
in large letters was "lTTG Liberty
1899
The elevated platform upon which
the speakers stood while making their
addresses was tastcfully decorated.
On the right and left were miniature
flags and the whole presented 4 pic
turcsquc scene.
The Antioch band furni ,hed music
for the occasion. The roads in every
direction for miles were filled with
moving masses Of humanity. Not
single accident that we have heard of
occurred to disturb the pleasure Of
the occasion. The celebration was
i success in every particular.

Fears of Animals

II scientists are to he trusted. it is
n mistake TO suppose that the lives OF
animals ar" peaceful and happy.
Worms are in constant terror Of
birds The smaller brdS are never
free from dread of hawks, or owls or
cHlS. Cats are afraid, not only of their
ancient enemy. the dog. but of the
wicked small hoy who throws stones.
Dogs are afraid of one another and in
mortal terror of cows.
Horses are haunted by the swish Of
the whip. sheep appear To suffer from
II constant provision of the butcher.
SpraiS are tortured 10y the expectation
of being swallowed by the mackcrel
and mackcrrl are always expecting the
same fate at ih" jaws of q shark. AL
most every living Thing is afraid Of
man.
Besides. not an animal exists who is
not being prrpctually gnawcl by hun
dfcd5 of parasites. The wOodcock
and turbut swarm with tapcwormS.
In the young caterpillar the ichncumon
lays its eggs. and the little animals
that are hatchcd eat the caterpillar till
not II particle is left
Thousands OF little worms live in the
rabbit ana WHEN Il dog eats him they
lodg" themselves under the dogs
tongue and often drive him mad with
pain. Great lumOrS are raised on The
backs Of sheep and cattle by parasites
which bore under the skin. Even
cro"odilcS suffer from never ending
toothachc, caused by IL little beast that
lodges in his Jaws
IN fact. it is rs tru" with regard to
animals as Of men that there is no
peace for them on earth.

Much too cool for cotton, some of
which has died out.
There is a great deal of complaint
of there being hard matter to get

in places.
The rain last week was very bene-

There is much complaint of the

The republican party has gotten
itself between the devil and the
deep blue sea on account of the
secretary of war. He has proven a
nisft in the place he occupies and
no one is better aware of this fact
than the president, yet he knows
the danger that would confront his
second term aspirations should he
ask Alger to retire, for when he
did, Alger would take the field
against him and he would make it
very uncomfortable for Mckinley.
On the other hand, the democratic
press allied with many of the lead
ing republican papers is now and
has been calling for Alger's scalp,
and the president no doubt would
like to shake the secretary, but he
has been waiting for him to ask
that he be relieved.

The Democratic party Can not af-
ford to take up some compromise
candidate for president in 1900.
This is what the Palmerites are ad-
vocating; the cheek some people
manifest is truly surprising; these
people denounced the regularly
nominated candidate of their party
as a demagogue and an anarchist
in 1896; not 'only that, they sup
ported the republicans with all the
energy they could bring to bear up
on the situation. Now, they are
demanding concessions, that they
may come back to their party with
out stultifying themselves. Let the
grand old party of Jefferson, Jack
son, Hendricks and Thurman, meet
as usual, in its convention, pro-
nouuce its platform, nominate a
standard bearer, return to the peo-
pie, and ask them to sustain the
principles enunciated and the men
nominated. If this be done and all
kind Of jobbery be avoided, the
American citizens, who love honesty
and truth, will surely sweep the
nominees to a magnificent victory.
But let the party assemble and
trade and dicker, and beg the par
don of those disgruntled eastern
traitors for what was done in 1896,
then nominate some politician of
the Jelly fish variety, and as surely
as night follows day, the unpur-'
chasable and true people of these
United States will overwhelm the
party with their disapproval and
righteous condemnation. Give us
plain, common sense platform, and
nominate a man of honesty and in
tegrity, and the people will support
them; the Democratic party can
not serve God and mammon.
