V Tits. J. ?d?ttis, Editor. Et?ceflelc, S. <;., Oct. '?9. 18*5 Diversify Crops. The smallest crop cf cotton sincf 1868 brought more mosey than any crop that did not exceed it by a mil lion and a half balee. This is a fad that our farmers ought to consider, and draw from it legitimate and netd ed lessons. > t A. & K. R. Ii. Freigbt (barges. . From along the line of the Augus ta & Knoxville Rail Road, complaints reach ns of excessive freight charges. For .instance; it is. alleged the Rail jRoid has advanced the freigbt charg es on cotton to 25 cents per hundred pounds-bacon and other things in proportion. The consequence has been that cotton ie being shipped by .- the Savannah.River on boats and fl .te, ..' at 70 and 75 cents per bale; eithtr that way or hauled by wagons. The plantations of Winchester McDaniel, L. P. Harmon and John Morgan alone . will ship 250 bales of cotton by the River. .From all we can learn, this advance in freights will prove a si ort 8 gb ted policy for the Road.

NEW YORK, October 14, '85 EDITOR ADVERTISER: The atten tion of Congress is called to the fact that sores of the terrible loes of life and property due to tornadoes or. bg averted. In 1882, Prof. T. B. Maury, apserlM what was then the fact thal tie prediction of a tornado was a triumph yet to be attained by thc eciecce of meteorology. In lese than two years from that timo 6ome pre dictions of tornadoes were successfully made by Lieutenant John P. Finley of the Signal Service. The percent age of verified predictions io s'eadily increased by knowledge of the aver age conditions preceding each s?rier of tornadoes, thus making the pre dictions more definite and.local with each succeeding year. Already the "predictions of safety for the day ar* effective. Of 3228 predictions un .. favorable to tornadoes, made in 18S.-1 3201 were verifield, and of 3S pre . dictions that tornadoes would occur ?ado in' April and June, 1881, IS were verified. Of 19 predictions that tornadoes would occur, made in June and July, 1885, 15 were generally . verifed. When tornadoes were pre dieted,* in no instance did - vicient storms fail to occur, either hurricanes, tornadoes, or hail. The failure of some predictions is doubtless'due to inaccurate and insuf ficient ?report? from sparsely settled regions? While-it .is admitted that nothing like absolute control of these phenomena has been attained, yet the above figures clearly justify the A|)??8en'ce'^bTldrnado signals either cf cgaiety':or-danger at every telegraph -station'ih Kansas, Nebraska, Missou ri, Illinois, |owa,.. Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, G?oxgia.and North Caro lina, especially during April, May, June, July, August and September. It Shoped that" Congress will direct the Signal Service to submit estimates of the expense necessary to establish such a system of signals. The coat would be a few thousand dollars for flags or colored disce, and for tele graph service. WILLIAM A. EDDY. Tornado Reporter, Signal Service, U. S.

To the Editor o/Mie Advertiser: The interest manifested! by you in the publication of : eli gio ns matters, induceP me to write a few brief notes of the Simmons Ridge Samaritan Bap tist Association. This Association ie composed of churchen mainly from Edgefield County. The last meeting was its ninth annual session, and it uow comprises thirty-six churches. The last meeting was at Willow Spring Church, Thursday, Oct. 15:h, inst., lasting four days. The Moderator, Rev. Eli Key, opened the meeting with the usual ceremonies. After which the Introductory Sermon was preached by th6 Rev. Ned. Stalks, the oldest Minister in the held, At the close of the sermon, which was very much appreciated by all present, the Moderator-announced the house in order for businees. But beiore pro ceeding to the regular businees of the Association, R?V. J. C. Burket, Pas tor of the Willow Spring Church, roee and in a very feeling and chris tianlike manner, extended a cordial welcome to the delegates and breth ren, assuring them that they were welcome in every sense of the word, and said that they were not in a land of strangers, but among christian brethren and eisters, who could and did feel for them. Further aeeuring them that no pains would be spared to make their short stay a pleasant one. And indeed it was. Space will not allow a full deecription ol thu hoe pitalitiee of the Willow Spring breth reu and sisters, Suffice it to say, that the people of that community have always been noted for their generosi ty and christian benevolence. The next business in order was the enrollment of delegates and churches and the reading ot letters. Quite a large number ol delegates were pres ent at the opening of the meeting, though many of them reside in the moot distant part of the County, and even eome from other Counties. It wae quite evident from the etatietical report of letters that. many of the churches had made large accessions during the Associational year, and a groat many of thees acceesions, too, were made from Sunday School Schol are. Right here, Mr. Editor, I may digress a little from the main subject I of this letter. In speaking' of ?bun I day school scholars, it is to be regret ted that many of the churches are wanting in that peculiar interest that ought to be taken in Sunday School werk. Those who see and feel tho great neceseity of braiding up thie branch of the christian church, have been left too often unaided in their efforts to make it a permanent and living institution. Even too by pa rents who are professing christians. Many seem to think that it is of sec ondary importance in church matters, and therefore make no special tiforts to keep their children in attendance or aid in support of the echool. It eeoms to be a difficult matter for eome to U: derstand that the echool ia the church, or rather an indispeneable part of the church, that ought to be ioetered and supported by the church. Nuw when we think that theme little ones whoar? now Sunday school schol ars, in a few years will have taken our place both in the church and Sunday pcbool, how important then that their little mind* be properly Trained and Btored with Biblical truths ?or their noble calling. Returning to the subject of this letter. With a few excep"ione? the ?iwa?Mg wnw ^hw^^ld-brriWifEuTt Matters of Considerable import were brought before the body, and, ae a matter of course, caused brethren to differ in their views and opinions; but any delegate was privileged to dircues and vote on alleubjecte before any final disposition could be made td them. Many important Guhjecta, piic-h-as Home and Foreign Missions, Ti raperance'and Education, were tak en up and d?6cueeed fully and freely by the delegates and other vieitiug brethren, We were glad to aee our white brethren in the meeting. They may be assured thut their preBence and aid are always acceptable and very much appreciated in all of our meetings. We mention one of distinction, Dr.D. C. Tompkins, who visited the meeting two or three times during the cession We wore delighted with his presence and pleased with his remarke. Hep the doctor will meet ue again. There were three special sermons pr? ached during the cession : Intro ductory, Doctrinal and Missionary Doctrinal etrmon Friday evening, by Rev.F. Dorn. Missionary sermon on Sunday, by Rev. R. C. Bracy. ' The Aesociation adjourned the fol lowiug Sunday, to meet with the Kid ge Hill Church Thursday before :he third Lord's day iu Oct., 1886V ... R. A. GREEN, Clerk. Oct, 26th, 1885. Experimental Farms. It has been suggested that the State Department of Agriculture can prop bri y and profitably undertake a aeries >f experiments to teat pr.'j.c.icaily the jest medea of cultivating '.obceco in Vuth Carolin?, and to determine vh.vt ch:ss nf tobacco !B adapted to he variouH districts of the State. At hr. name time il iii be practicable o gang9 the value ol the crop in noriey, ns compared vriih oct:os and ;rain. Thi-1 can betilVcled br the ^parim^nt at very little expense. Wc- hnve nc iden that it is ni cc-Sda y or desirable to establish e.xperi ?enifil larme which shall be owned r rented by the Department, and eu lerintended by persone whom it em doy. There ia a simpler and cheap r plan than thie. The Department an aelect planters who have a repu dien 1er practical aa well as aden ?fie farming, and invite one of these 0 each ul the different. sections of ie State, or even in every county, to lant an acre of land ir tobacco and ti acre in cotton and grain. The De artmenl can have the soil, analyzed t the different elations, so that the roper fertilizers can be applied. At nail expense the department can fur ieh the fertilizers and eeed, and pro hibe, if couBidered necessary, the lannerof cultivation. The important mditione are that the planters who uderUke the experimente shall be en of intelligence and knowledge, ho will torn to good account the in rmation given them, and report care illy the result of their action. The tree acree cultivated at each station lould, if possible, be side by side, so tat those visiting the station can adily inspect the crops. At the end the eeaeon, and when the crope ive been marketed, the comparative line will be known and much valua e information will have been ob ined. It is probable that ten experimental ations would be sufficient ; and we ??bt that the 'expense to the Agri iltura? Dopartment would exceed '0 or three thousand dollars. This is w to a tr'??Dg Pura in ucmparioon with I: e .advantages which; cari be expected o be. de ived from the plan. It'wiU not 'be'difficult to limit the outlay to'the amount designated, but, if the mean? can be cLt.i::ed, it Will probably le lound advisable to defray the whole expense of cultivating the experiment al acre?, and ia this event the Agri cultural Department can reimburse itself from the proceeds oPthe ex perimental crops, giving any surplus, after the payment of the expenses, to the planters themselves in return for their pains in superintending the sta tiona. It is to be hoped that the Agricul tural Department will consider the matter favorably. It is as important, in our opinion, as any project which the Department has adopted'; and it is not much to ask that about a tenth pert of the revenues of the Agricul tural Department shall be laid out, in the way described, for the collection ol practical information and the prop agation of knowledge among the'farm ers of South Carolina.-News and Courier.
