had a frightful experience with a
reaper and binder Wednesday, on ac-
count Of which he will be laid up for
repairs for some time. While near
where the reaper was at work, one of
the lines dropped down and he ran in
to pick it up and hand it to the driver,
not thinking of the reel, which struck
him and threw him in front of the
knives. Deep and long gashes were
cut both below and above the knee on
one leg. His father, who was some dis
tance off, was naturally terrified when
he saw the situation; but was glad to
find the injury no worse than it was.
.....Who are the purchasable voters? ?
we ldu d COISltlulloHdl gully NCiIioii
arranged to get rid of the ignorant,
purchasable Negro vote. Recently,
however, there has been good deal Of
talk about a campaign fund-a corrup-
tion fund. What material is this fund
expected to operate upon? Have we
still a purchasable vote? Who are the
voters that are for sale? Are they
wool hat boys" or conservatives"
Let us have an investigation, deter
mine who they are, and call another
convention or submit an amendment.
Major J. w. Reed took advan-
tage of the reunion to visit two cous-
ins in Mississippi whom he last saw be-
fore so and 81 years ago. He could
hardly look across the years that had
elapsed since he saw them as little
girls. and realize that they are grand
mothers. He had glorious time with
his fair cousins. An opportunity to
visit them was the real inducement to
go to Memphis, and he feels that he
was repaid several times the cost Of
the trip. Major Reed thinks the Mem
phis people did everything that could
be expected to make the veterans enjoy
the occasion. .MesSrs. Robert Conrad
and Alex. GLADDEN. returned Wednesday
afternoon from the reunion, much
pleased with their trip. They went
over into Arkansas to visit relatives.
They say there is some rich land there,
and some that is worthless, and the
people are doing just what our grand
fathers did here-plowing their land up
and down hill, running it down, throw
ing it out. and clearing more. 1t may
be remarked here that our forefathers
did not neglect to hand down much of
their wasteful disposition to this gen.
Grafton. Good open land in Arkansas
rents for S. an acre by the year, while
pretty fair unimproved land adjoining
can be bought for So an acre. Messrs.
Conrad and GLADDEN. say they saw no
small grain while they were gone that
will begin to compare with that on the
Sandy River road between here and
Lowrysville. MI. Conrad says, all
things considered, he much prefers
farming in South Carolina. Wherever
he goes he find that there is a great
deal more in the management of the
farm than in the the strength of the
soil. Mr.. GLADDEN. did not commit HIM
self definitely as to his opinion of the
two states comparative merits for
farming purposes. Each of these gen.
tlemen brought a souvenir in a rattan
cane, and Mr.. GLADDEN. has the antlers
of a four year old buck. -. Mr.. Rob-
ert Conrad got an idea in Arkansas on
the cultivation of cotton, which he is
going to try on his own crop at once.
