week and late Saturday night very
heavy rain and wind storm, 1.73
inches here. 4 have been told that at
Carlisle it was the heaviest of this
year, and few miles west Of there,
almost cloudburst, and that the
damages were great. Some of the
rains here last week were very dam
aging ones.
The farmers around here have
about decided to hoist the white flag
to the boil weevil. The weather has
been so wet. The farmers could not
control them. They could not hire
much picking Of squares, as August,
you know, is the month when it is
time for the negroes "to walk about"
That, most Of them will do, even if |
they have to- eat only "green feed
until it rattles inside Of them like pot
liquor in dog, and nothing doing"
The campaign meeting opened here
Friday and attended. The speakers
all received considerate attention, or
at least, if one did not wish to hear
one, he did not interrupt. I did not
hear any "cuss" words, and of course
there was no one drunk.
l also went to Carlisle Monday. II
was rained OFF OF most all farm work.
so took in this, too. This was also
quiet meeting. No cheering to one,
making another feel bad The candi-
dates are beginning to spar, or to use
little "pitch forks" but are otherwise
very friendly. Quite number of la
dies were present at both places. Il
wanted to go to Carlisle, anyway, as
it has been long time since I was
there, and / had to almost be intro
duced to it anew. 1t has built up so
much, has grown until it is about "as
broad as it is tall,' so to speak.
The revival services at the Pres
byterian church closed last Friday
night. The weather was very bad
all through, but the congregations
were glad as Rev. T. D. johnson. of
| Woodruff, who did the preaching,
preached good sermons, and drew
large crowds. He is fine preacher.

am indebtedsto my young friend, |
Miss Mildred Jeter, for assistance in |
getting these personals. She has my
thanks. And here. wish to express
the wish that some of the girls would,
be kind enough to continue to aid me
along this line, while I am at the
"sterner" things, as I have a poor
means of knowing the movements of
folks. tE
/ once heard a. candidate for of
flee, and one who said that he did
everything for the best interest of
the, people, etc., ETC., say, it seemed
in borstful way, that he had never
plowed nor split rails (nor did some
other thinks I know not what ali and
'by the God above" he never would
etc. Well, have, I have plowed
whole lot, and some every year since
was IL years of age, and by the help
Of "the God above" l am going to
plow more, and split some cord wood
too. can and will do as good plow-
ing as any man in Union county. I
am cracker jack at it. 1t does not
seem becoming in man if he wants
any class of laboring people to come
across to him, to boast that he has
never done any manual labor, and
never will, that God has endowed him
with enough sense to keep from it,
and that he is above it,
Hey Denver.
