We would direct the attention of our readers to the advertisement in this issue of Thos. Wynne's Cotton Gin, which he claims is equal in point of excellence to any gin made. Several farmers of this County are using them, and express themselves as well pleased with their work. The Rocky River Colored Baptist Associ? ation, which met on Thursday last with Mt. Pleasant Church, in this County, had a harmonious and profitable session. A very large crowd of colored people were present on Sunday, and good order pre? vailed throughout the day. The advertisement of Furman University appears elsewhere. This institution is one of high order, and deserves the liberal pat? ronage of the people of South Carolina It is now operating under the endowment plan, and tuition is fiee to all who can pay thoir board and buy text books.

Carlisle said at the recent an? nual District Conference of the Methodist Church in Greenville that there were more young men members of his Church at this place that were active Christian workers than of any Church of which he had ever had charge; and he attributed the fact to the influences of the Young Men's Chris? tian Association of this place. There will be a meeting of the citizens of Centreville township at Hunter's Spring on Tuesday, 2d September, at 11 o'clock in the morning, for the purpose of further consid? ering the claims of the Savannah Valley Railroad.

Bailey, el aLt for assess? ments for draining Rocky River. The de? cision is in fjvbr of the defendants, and is given with elaborate argument and citation of authorities to sustain the ground assumed. We will publish the decree in full in our next issue that our subscribers may have the opportunity of reading it, inasmuch as the case is one of public importance. The account of the anniversary celebra? tion of the Connor Light Dragoons reached us on Wednesday morning, arv* was too long for insertion this week. It will ap? pear, however, in our next issue. We take this occasion again to remind our corres? pondents that, as the paper goes to press at noon on Wednesday, it is necessary for them to send in communications which are long on Monday or early Tuesday morning at the latest, in order that they may not be delayed for a week before they can be in? serted. That cotton goods should become higher when money is more scarce and no cotton for sale, is an unjust turn of events; and it is worthy of note and appreciation that the enterprising firui of Arnstein & Rose,?pro? prietors of the popular New York Cash Store, are not only keeping the prices down, but for the next ten days offer greater in? ducements than ever in their immense stock of dry and fancy goods, boots and shoes, clothing and hats, which fact will insure them, as their liberality fully deserves, an increased patronage. * Mr. J. R. Meredith, a worthy citizen of tEe Fork, had the misfortune of losing his residence by fire on Friday, the 8th instant. It was a two-story building, and contained not only the household furniture and cloth? ing for the family, but their supply of pro? visions as well. None of the family were at home, and consequently everything was lost. The good people of that section, how? ever, prompted by the most generous im? pulses, have made up for Mr. Meredith by contributions almost as much as he lost. The fire originated from a stroke of lightn? ing. The annual conference of the Greenville District of the M. E. Church in this State was held in the city of Greenville last week, commencing on Thursday morning and closing Sunday night. The meeting was a harmonious and pleasant one, and was at? tended by about seventy-five delegates and ministers. The reports from the different charges in the District were encouraging, and the presence of Bishop Wightman dur? ing the session added a great deal to the in? terest of the conference. Rev. J. E. Carlisle^. Capt. J. W. Daniels and H. G. Scudday, Esq., represented the Church at this place. It is snrprising that in an agricultural section like ours there should be not a sin? gle first-class Seed house to supply our farmers with anything and everything they may need in the way of Seeds. Apprecia? ting the importance and necessity of such a house in the up-country, Sloan Bros., of Greenville, have decided to go extensively into the business. They are just in receipt of 125 bushels barley, and have ordered a large lot of clover and other grass seed. They expect to keep on hand at each season everything in demand for that season, and feel confident of building up a heavy trade in this line throughout the up-country by close prices, prompt attention and first-class goods. 1J The authorities of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad have let a contract to Mr. John Cary, of Seneca City, for the building of a depot at that place, and work was to have been commenced on it on Tuesday. It will be a very great accommo? dation to the merchants of Anderson, and Pendleton, as they can hereafter order their goods from the West and North via Seneca City, instead of by Greenville and Colum? bia as heretofore. It is an improvement that should have been made long ago, as it has been greatly needed ever since the com? pletion of the Air Line Road. We under? stand the new Superintendent contemplates making many other improvements in the Road, which will not only increase its busi? ness but its accommodations as well. We only hope we have not boon misinformed. Gen. James 8. Connor, receiver, and Co'. Huger, general freight agent of the Green? ville and Columbia Railroad, were in An? derson on Tuesday, and made a very favor? able impression on the morchants of An? derson as to what they intend to do for us in the way of freights. This visit was no doubt partly intended to chill the interest of the people of Anderson in the Savannah Valley Railroad, and might have the effect of doing so if our citizens bad any guar? antee that freights would continue as low as these gentlemen propose to place them. The trouble, however, is that there is no such guarantee, and on the contrary it is very certain that the Greenville and Co lnmbia road will be sold to some strong corporation, who will use it, to suit their own interests. Our people cannot depend safely upon any such temporary arrange? ments. The Columbia Register says that "the off year" in politics "is fairly tho fhir year," and suggests to the people of the State to endeavor to make our agricultural fairs this fall more interesting and attractive than usual, and we sincerely trust they will act upon the suggestion. There are many good and sufficient reasons why our farmers, mechanics, housewives, and everybody, should contribute to the interest, support and encouragement of these annual gather? ings of our citizens and the exhibitions of their industry, enterprise and progress. There is nothing that conduces more to the development of the resources of our coun? try than these exhibitions of the products of the soil, of the work shop and of the manufactory, and the greater the interest taken in them the greater the good that fol? lows. By reason of their calling the farmers can contribute more than any other class to the success of these institutions. Show us a farmer or mechanic that takes an interest and pride in his county fair and we will show you one that is both industrious and enterprising; show us a county with a good agricultural fair and we will show you one the farmers and mechanics of which are enterprising and prosperous. The State fairs are also important, and while we may not realize and appreciate to the same ex? tent the good that results from the State fair as we do from the county fair, it is just as important that it be sustained and im? proved. Every county should have an ag? ricultural fair at least once a year; the State fair should be held after the county fairs, and the articles receiving the premiums at the latter could be sent to the State exhibi? tion, which would always insure a large representation of the varied industries of the State._ Railroad Meeting at Anderson C. II. According to previous announcement, a meeting was held in the Court House on the 14th inst., in the interest of the Savan? nah Valley Railroad. Maj. B. F. Whitner was elected Chairman and J. E. Brcazcalc, Esq., Secretary. The Chairman explained the object of the meeting to be the discus siou of the question of subscript ion to the capital stock of the Savannah Valley Rail? road by the town of Anderson, said sub? scription to be raised by taxation, under the new charter, the amount being $12,000, to be paid in three annual payments. Col. E. M. Rnckcr was called for, and re? sponded in an able speech in favor of the Road, showing what advantages the con? templated Road would be to the Town and County of Anderson; that it made Ander? son a distributing point for freights, and would thus build it up. Of course towns would spring up on the line of the Road hoped they would?for thev would be to the interest of Anderson. We needed com? petition in railroads?it would enable us to get freights cheaper. He urged that no heed be given to the whispers of difficulties in the way by the opponents of the Road ; that men would be found to oppose every enterprise. After Col. Rucker's speech, opponents to the enterprise were extended an invitation to express their opinions. Col. J. N. Brown responded, no said he was opposed to the Road: 1st, because the enterprise would not be worth the money; 2nd, the sum to bo raised by taxation was so small it would not build the Road ; 3d, the Road would not benefit Anderson; 4th, the Road could not sustain itself from the country through which it passed, and that small towns would spring up on tho Road that would injure Anderson; 5th, men who favored taxation to build the Greenwood and Augusta Railroad were r>ow instituting legal proceedings to resist tho payment of the taxes ; Gth, can not mortgage the Road when graded, because capitalists will not advance the money. ? Maj. E. B. Murray was next called for, and argued that the road would be of great advantage to Anderson because it would afford competition, and thus reduce freights. He then showed by the result of the Green? wood and Augusta Railroad, which has been graded with an expense of less than $050 to the mile, that the amount asked for on this line would be enough to grade and cross-tie the road, after which we have as? surances that the iron can be procured by a mortgage of the road-bed. He spoke of the development which this road would give to a productive and fertile country, and of the comparatively small sum neces? sary to secure it. He showed that the small towns along the Air Line had not in? jured Greenville or Spartanburg, and argued that they would not hurt Anderson. He concluded by 3aying that he believed the Road was assured to Lowndcsville, and if we do not bring it to Anderson, our town will be ruined. The meeting evinced great interest in the Road, and adjourned with cheers for the enterprise. Railroad Meeting in Ccntrevillo Township. Mr. Editoe : In pursuance to a call quite a number of the citizens of Centreville Township met at Hunter's Spring on Tues? day, the 19th inst., to discuss the propriety of the township subscribing five thousand dollars to the capital stock of the Savannah Valley Railroad. The meeting was organ? ized by calling Capt. J. Y. Fretwcll to the Chair and S. M. Pegg to act as Secretary. The Chairman explained the object of the meeting, and stated that all who opposed the subscription would be heard as well as those who favored the same. James M. Latimer, President of the Com? pany, being present, was called upon and responded in his usual clear and business? like style, stating that the Road would be built to Lowndesvillc, and that if it was not extended to Anderson, where the Lowndesvillc people desired it to go, it would certainly bo extended by way of the Belton and Easley Railroad to the Air Line. Capt. J. T. Barnes was next called upon, and made an earnest and eloquent appeal in favor of the subscription?using many strong arguments in its support. Col. E. M. Rucker was next called upon, and made a strong and knock-down argu? ment in favor of the subscription. Major E. B. Murray was next called for, and was on hand with the facts and figures, and made one of his best practical speeches ?it was a demonstrator. Gen. J. W. Harrison and J. C. C. Fcath erston, W. S. Brown and Kenon Brcazeale, Esqs., and Rev. J. O. Hudson favored the subscription. At this stage of the meeting Mr. J. Bel ton Watson said that he would avail him? self Of the courtesy extended by the Chair, of allowing any to speak who worn opposed to the subscription. A respectful hearing was given Mr. Watson, who said in sub? stance that he was not against the Road, and endorsed everything that the gentlemen had said in regard to its benefits, out he did not like the plan. The last speaker was the chairman, Capt J. Y. Fretwcll, who became warmed up on the subject, and made a most stirring appeal for all to voto for the subscription. The Captain was loudly applauded from the be? ginning to the end of Iiis remarks. The thanks of the meeting wore tendered Rev. J. O. Hudson for the use of his school room In which to hold the meeting. The meeting adjourned to meet on Tues? day, the 2nd September, at tho same place, When a fuller attendance from the township is desired. The meeting, taken all together, wat (juite a success in favor of the Koud. J. Y. FarrwatL, Chairman. ?S. M. Peoo, Secretary. Ilonca 1'ath.

I have been a cotton producer and buyer of some experience, and can safely testify that the lint from the Neblett &, Goodrich Gin, with a corres? ponding yield, is as tine as that of any other Gin sold in this section, with a decided dif? ference in its favor with respect to its sim? plicity of construction, durability, price and light running features. I ginned six thousand pounds of seed cotton with this Gin in one day with horse-power on a forty-saw Gin. In other words, four five hundred pound bales of cotton. J. W. DACUS.
