bearing upon the approaching elec

out candidates for the offices of county
treasurer and clerk of court, aud in.
viting Candidate Hogan to come to
Americns some time before Mr. Can
dler is eleoted governor, nothing was
done in the way of business. The
question of fusion wai not discussed at
any length.
In faot, there is no hope whatever
for the populists from this souroe, or
any other.
A prominent member of the party
said yesterday after the meeting that
there was no ebsnee for them in Sum'
ter any longer, as their party now
numbers lees than a hundred members
in the county. It is true, he said, that
candidates have been named (or th
legislature and moet of the county
offices, bnt not with any hope whatever
of electing anyone of them.
In the meantime, however^ it be
hooves democrats to remain vigilant
and turn out to a man on election day.
Eternal vigilance is the price of onr

LARGE COEN CHOP ASSURED.
Snmter County Farmer* Have More
Tbau Enough.
Tbe farmers of this county have be
gun to gather one of the heaviest corn
crops in years. Owing to tbe poor
ontlook for good cotton prices, an nn-
UBnally heavy acreage was devoted to
tbia product, and though the early
crop suffered somewhat for rain the
late corn was jnst in time for a good
season and the crop will be abundant.
Many planters will bsve more than
enough tor the coming year and will
share, their snrplas with neighbors
who were nof so fortnnate.
