my back, sides and hips that I
could not sleep well and felt little
like doing my work. Upon learning

Mr.. c. E. May took a trip through
Saulda county last week and brings
back an unfavorabe, report concern
ing the crops. Large fields of cotton
in the Fruit Hill section were prac-
tically ruined by the heavy rains,
the farmers being unable to check
the grass. He says our friend Char
lie Davis has a good crop. Charlie
is hustler who is hard to down.
Crops in Edgefeld county seem to
be much better than those in the
southern portion of Saluda.

1t is true that a number of news

led by single issue. They appear

Senator Meredith in the legislature,
which were for the benefit of the
State, and confne themselves solely
TO one act and denounce him round

more honest and far more consistent
for his critics to pronounce the
one act as matter OF bad judgment:

As public officer all of Senator
Meredith's acts are open to proper
and fair criticism, but he has done
nothing to deserve abusive epithets
such as traitor" and idiotic refiec-
lions upon his character such as are
being INDUCED in.
