The annual election for Intend
ant aed Wardens was held on Jan
7th* - Previous to the election the
citicens of tbe town assembled iu
Traxler’s Hall for the purpose of
nominating a ticket. Mr. W. G.
Reynolds, as Jntemlant, Messrs
Theodore Kuker, W. Witoover, Cal
viu-Mtrotber and H L. Morris, as
Wardens, were nnauimonslv nom
infited. This was in tact a renom
inafetoa of the whole Council. Fif
ty«aix votes were cast at the elec-
tioa. Tbe isaan was “license” or
“im Hoe ii se.” Fifty-two votes were
east for license. The old-new Coun
cil met ou the 12th aud were sworn
God and tbe father of the faitbfn'.
Like all other people Abraham was
not faultless, but he plaeed implicit
trust Iu the wisdom of the Lord,
and never allowed himself to hesi
tate in obeying tbe Divine com
mend. Hence it was that God
made an example of him for the
benefit of future go aerations, and it
was in accordance with this object
that Abraham was ordered to sac
rifice bis son, Isaac, ou Mount Mo
riah, Two ofteu though, said the
preacher, do we see Christians stag
gering at tbe promise of God and
neglecting their duties as followers
of Christ on account of their unbe
lief and lack of faith iu the Lord
It is ‘because they do not possess
that implicit trust iu God and con
fidence in His omnipotent judg
ment which are so essential for Him

footsteps, aud as a protection wheu

In cooclusiou Mr. Law thanked
the membera of the congregation
for the compliment which they had
conferred upon bim by calling him
to their pulpit to act as their spirit
ual adviser, and said that he would
come to a decision iu regard to its
acceptance just as soon as he bad
given the matter tbe deep cousid

ever has been.”
Broker: bat makes you

Hpiuuer: “I don’t like tbe looks
of tbe market. It is artificial, aud
is sure to break dowu.”
“Broker: “Surely arter auch a
decline as cotton has bad daring
tbe past year some rise is prob
able.”
Spinner: “But look at tbe ac-
cumlatiou of stocks at the South.
Peop e mere have got a notion that
they cau rule the markets of tbe
whole world, just as some fools
lafre tried to rule tbe woi id’s wheat
market.”
Broker: “But tbe stocks re
ported et New Orleans are a trifle
ess than they were a year ago, and
at Galvealou only about 46,009
bales more. The increase at Sa
vannah is only about 14,000, and
lerhaps 55,000 at Charleston ; in
all little more than 100,000 bale*.”
Spinner: “That is only tbe little
end of the iuoresse. Tbe stock at
vaiious interior points is 526,000
lales, against 320,000 last year.
That makes 300,000 more in all
stocks reported. Besides current
estimates make tbe .crop of 1885
about 6,670,000 bales, or 1,000.000
bales more than iu tbe previous
year. The entire quantity that has
com« Into sight thus far, including
tbe increased stock at ports! is only
300,000 bales more then ia tbe pre
vious year to date. That leavea
an increase of 700,000 bales b«ld by
planters, in sll, we have on baud
at ports or in tbe bands of pro
ducers as much os 1,000,000 bales
more eottoo then was held io Jan
uary, 1885, or iu al! about 3,000,090
bales, against 2,000,000.”
Broker: “That ia good for the
producers, if they don’t sell at these
low priors.”
Spinoer: “It strikes me they
heve not a fair prospect of aelling
at all. Exports to all foreign coun
tries so far have been 260,000 balsa
mere than tbe previous year to
d.ite. But it is well known that
consumption is not increasing. Tbe
inference is that foreign markets
are supplied more nearly for the
year. It is tbe same with North
eru spinners, who are reported to
have taken 250,000 hales more than
last year to date. Nobody expects
such au increase in consumption,
with prices where they are.”
Broker: “How do you account
for tbe steady prices of late f”
Spiouer: “Just as you do for
tbe artiflcisl price of wheat, which
has been held above tbe level of
jiverpool for months, aud is now
about three or four cents shove that
evel. Speculators in this country
are bu I-beaded. They think brass
aud money can beat down all laws
of trade. Iu consequence the eoun
try baa got stuck with more wheat
than It cau well carry.”
Broker: “U you are right, eome
)ody will have to let go oottou be-
ore long. Immense sums must be
oaued ou 3,000,000 bales still held
n this country, though part is still
to tbe bauds of plauters. Tbe bam
ncrease over last year means a
greater load by $40 000,000, and
the planters also must have borrow
ed largely ou tbe great quantity
they are holding.
Spinner: “Exactly, and all are
ookiug for higher prices. But how
oug would the banks carry the
stuff, if there should come a drop
a prices, or an outflow of gold to
Europe, or a real alarm about sil
ver, or any ot a dozen other con
tiugencies that could be nain- d f
You may as well sell the stuff. I
am uot going to bet that tbe uui
vetse wants a million bales more
oottou between now and October
than it used iu tbe same time last

Factor: “Pshaw I Don’t you
know that a go d deal of cotton is

Coontrymeu: “Then some oue

Factor: “Of course, but then
they will certainly buy this actual
cotton cheaper, because, as tbe

Even with a crop of six and one-

people eupiKMe that spiuqers have
coutracted for goods beyond their
stocks of actual oottou. Silver, tbe
depression of whose value has
seriously injured tbe prloe ot oottou,
may advance, aud with its advance
help cotton aud cotton goods iu
Englavd. Indeed, there is a good
deiu to be s»id aga ust a further

Factor: “Just so.”
Couutrymau: “Then it seems to
me that the South would lie idiotic
to abaudoo its sentiment, sell out
its cotton rapidly st or below the
parity of Liverpool with its oou
stautly declining prices. No, no
It is possible that we can no longer
force au advance or arrest the de
cliue, but it is possible for U* to sell
out slowly a good deal ot our cot
ton at prices well above Liverpool,
before the demaud of those who are
under contract is supplier!, aud
then the balance may undergo the
fate which you toll me now threaten*-
the whole, unless, indeed, the world
discovers sooner, instead of ater,
that a staple article like cottou will
not stay forever below the cost of
production. That’s my sent uo-ut.
It you can get the basis of 9 cents
sell a third ot m.v cotton; I will see
on the 20th of February whether 1
cannot get i cents above Liverjsiol
for another third. If the market
meantime improves telegraph to
me for instructions; but do not
think that we of tbe South, wboais
now tbe only frieuds of our own
great staple, are going to aid the
short interest who have sold actual
cotton for delivery by abandoning
the support we give it. by selling
out rapidly at low prices tbe rein
mint of our production just be
cause consumers tell us to Jo so.

An English atatistieiau shows
that, siuce 1793, wars among tbe j
civilized nations have caused tbe
death of 4,470,000 men. A large
majority of these deaths resulted
from wounds, hardship aud disease,
tbs number actually killed on the
field being comparatively small,
Tbe bloodiest battle in the period
named was Borodino, where 250,-
000 men were engaged and 17,000
were placed kora du Combat.
Mr. Irby Hodge, ]of Clarendon
Connty, recently killed a huge wild
cat that weighed twenty seven
pounds. It bad been preying upon
Mr. Hodge’s chickens.
