R3 he had been confined to his room for j some months,' suffering from an old ; fracture of the right ankle, but had al most entirely receovered from thii trouble and was in usual good health up to the banning of the hemorrhage j Mr. Johnsou was a gentleman of hi<rl j character, and enjoyed through life the I confidence of those among whom he ; j lived. He was about sixty years o: j aJ-'e. The Festival.?The Thespian Ilal j was well filled on Wednesday nighi | with young people aim old people in,\ terested in the entertainment for the i benefit of the Methodist Church. The ; tables were arranged in rows between ; the stage and the tier of seats in the : rear of the hall, and were soon well fill' ed with those who enjoy a nice supper. i The ladies in waiting soon found their I : hands full in supplying the demands of their numerous customers. In addij tion to substantial there were lots of i ''goodies", and they all "went oft like j hot cakes". The sogar stand and the fruit table likewise did a <rood business. and the little girls did a smashing i trade in bouquets. The net result of ! the entertainment amounted to about j eighty dollars. ; Xkw Goods.?These are the days of j new "roods. Sprinjr is here, and for | its coming the merchants have been ! making due preparations. Among those who have tried to keep pace with the changing seasons are Messrs. P. Landecker & Bro., whose new adverI tiseinent will be found in another col' umn. Their stock of seasonable dry ! <roods will be f mnd equal to the very { best, and sufficiently varied to suit any taste. Upon their shelves will be found every article usually kept in a first-class store?dry goods, fancy goods, clothing, shoes, hats. etc. These ; goods will oe sold at figures as low as j the lowest. The Messrs. Lindecker.are clever fellows, and their customers? who we trust will be rnanv?may be | sure of polite and careful attention to their wauts. | Tiie Elliott Cotton Gin.?It is scarcely necessary to introduce to the readers of The News axd IIkkali* the Elliott Cotton Gin, made by Mr. J. M. Elliott of this place. It has long been noted for its superiority, and the more it has been used the more satisfaction it has given. Mr. Elliott has nan an experience 01 a nan century in the manufacture of cotton gins, and surely such an experience ought to be worth something. Every gin turned out of his establishment is subjected to his personal criticism, and e\ ery one is warranted to come fully up to his representations. Mr. Elliott has kept fully np with the times, and his gin now combine all the latest improvements. He has numerous testimonials of the most flattering character from experienced farmers in different parts of the State. New Stokes.? Mr. L. Samuels has taken the store formerly occupied by Mr. J. Groeschel, and has there opened out a well assorted stock of dry goods, etc., suitable to the spring season. .In the line of ladies' sroods Mr. Samuels will take special pains to keep his stock fully up to the mark, and so well assorted that he can meet the wants and suit the tastes of any lady in the community. In prices he will compete with the closest buyers and lowest sellers. Mr. 0. Y. Owings, who is already well known to onr people, will be found with Mr.- -Samuels, and will take .pleasure in waiting upon" v-f friends. - We bespeak for Mr. Samuels a liberal share of patronage. Head his - Another new store has been opened at the stand long occupied by Mr. F. Elder, which will be in charge of our well known citizen, Mr. Saling Wolfe. Here will be found a well assorted stock ot staple and fancy groceries, which the public are requested to examine. These goods arc all fresh, and _.f_ ?. ?3 1 uave. oeen csreiuuy seiecieu uy jur. i Wolfe hiruseif, wilh a sDecial view to ! the needs of this market. We hope; there will be plenty of customers. Mr. Wolfe is one of our oldest merchants and best known citizens, and he will always be pleaded to see and to wait upon his friends. "We trust he will be kept busy. Dots from the Dakk Corner.?Up ii?-the Corner can be seen some fine fields uf oats, and a general preparation for a crop, especially that portion on which the liens are based. Things are reasonably quiet. We near of no politics, nor do we wish any until the crops are laid bv. We want a short, active and i * i successful campaign this time. We happened to hear a proposition to a Baptist deacon to go a fishing on Sunday. We hope you will not think of us in that way when we tell you what j we want.

The boats are again ; made useful in getting the fencing etc. I together, all of which an energetic man j will have done when the water is gone. The children have quire an amusing ; time, paddling around, racing in the i dug-outs, which they handle w'th an ,| expertises? that would surprise the I most skentic. Even at ihe a^e of four 1 j or five years tliev are quite familiar 5 with the use of the paddle. The du<r! out. as its name would imply, is simply I a boat, shaped and du?? from a tree, ! most renorallv express, and has a eurj ryinjr capacity of from one t<> six mm, j i and sometimes even larirer. These i J boats are valued very highly in such ! hiirli waters." *i 1> I* A TYK Iff I.!./ i lfJl / 7P " Extraordinary Intt;re*t Create<l-Impossibility to Supply the Dfiunnd. Early in January la^t, the Ilev. IT. D. Pratt published in The News ,\;;d Herald an account of the Millo (Meel- j j yo) Maize, which forms the chi^f! } breadstuff of the South American Re-; public of Colombia, appending an analysis of its nutritions properties, and showing how it had'resisted the! seveie drought of last summer in ! j Wiunsboro. Believing that the adopj tion of M'dlo as a bread product in our j country would inure to great ad van tj age, Mr. Pratt offered for sale small j amounts of seed for experimental pnrj ih?se>; not as a speculation, but in | j order to induce persons to fry it. an at- ; } tempt to distribute it gratuitously the [ vcar previous havimr failed, in 2011- i j formitv with tin* rule that people have j j no faith in anything that costs them j j nothing. The article was republished ; j in the Southern Presbyterian and the j } Christian Observer. Mr. Pratt had j i about one bushel of the seed, of which | he ground about a peck at Mr. Creight's j i corn mill to test its bread making i j qualities. Shortly after the publication : ! of the article, orders caine in, and so i j swiftly, that in less than ten days from j ! the time of forwarding the first pack-! age, about 17o had been sent off and ! the whole supply of seed was exhausted. But this was not all. The following week more orders poured in, and more j and more and more, until several hun- j dred letters had been received by j Messrs. Beaty & Co., most of them in- i } closing money, and all desiring to pnrj chase tlie millo. Then a notice was inI sertcd in the papers that the supply of seed was exhausted. But in the meantime the article had begun its rounds, now appearing in a Chicago paper, then in New York, then in Texas and Georgia. and no one knows where else, lor ! it is still traveling, as orders from all sorts of out of the way places go to show. Here was a sort of elephant, a little too much of a good . tlnnsr. Finding Y&i &&} tihe ' this I way, an order was sent to South America in February for a supply of millo seed. In the meantime almost every mail brought new letters, in response to each of which a postal wassent, stating the situation of affairs and offering to refund the money if desired. Several hundred postal cards were | despatched. Xo refunding was neces-1 sary, some parties writing to hold the orders until next year, if not filled ' sooner. About the time the millo J should have been forthcoming from South America, a letter came instead, from the person addressed there, to the effect that lie took the'liberty of holding the order to learn whether Mr. Pratt would not prefer a new kind of corn that had been Introduced in Colombia. | A" reply was sent to forward nothing but the millo, but in this way precious weeks were lost. A large quantity was ordered: but through ravages of locusts last year, only a few bushels could be secured, ami this. took, so long on the journey that it reached New York only three weeks ago. Mr. Beat-v was compelled to telegraph three times to New York for it, and then ..had it brought here by express. A few peo pie began to got tired, and a tew, only a few wrote to know whether it was a "humbug." In a week or so after the last millo arrived, it was all distributed, and the supply is again exhausted, with the exception of a lew pounds. Among the largest orders was one from a gentleman in Augusta, Ga., for ten dollars'worth, but only two dollars worth could be spared for him. Mr. Peters, of Georgia, also received a considerable amount. He is the well I ? 1 A. .t . t. _ Known plainer aim mock raiser wuo is said to have sold $10,000 worth of sorghum seed, in one year, in its first introduction into this country. But for that sorghum, by the way, the Confederacy would have collapscd I0115 before : .1865. ' *' To give an idea of the widespread j interest, this millo has caused, we give some faefs and figures. The first sup- : ply was exhausted if filling 175 orders between about the l?t. and 10th of Feb- : rnarv. Alter tins no more seed couict be obtained till tiie middle of April, and in the meantime there were lying in Mr. Bcaty's safe, 444 orders with money, and 3:18 letters desiring information as to when the supply would j arrive. Letters still come. About six ! I I dollars were spent in postage answer- j ing these letters, and between thirty | and forty dollars postage on packages. | Had Mr. Pratt been imbued with the ! i ' desire of making a speculation he could j, Iuive raid in a large supply and then j might also have made thousands. Letters and orders have been received from Massachusetts, Maryland, Virginia. North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiai a, Texas, Arkansas, Tonnes- j sec, Kentucky, Illinois. Indiana, Miehi- j gain, Missouri, Colorado. Nebraska, j Ka r.sas, California, Oregon and No { vada. We cive these facts as an illustration I' w i oi tnc great interest lateen m ttie j making of breadstuff's and also of the i inconvenience and trouble caused to u person who wakes up some day 10 find } that an article lie has advertised has j become fmnous. We have just seen additional evi-1 an?om? dences of the hardness and vitality oi the plant. The roots of the stalks cut down last year remained in the ground last winter and are now "ratooning" or sprouting up in succors. A specimen can be seen at Mr. Beatv's store. The Millo corn differs from Dkoioi'a corn in having a larger and less com} pact head, the grains are smaller and I more flinty and have less husk upon i them. A head will produce over a | quarter ot'a pound of seed?enough to j plant ati eighth of an acre of land. | We repeat, in conclusion, that j Messrs. lieatv & Co. have almost ex; hausted their supply of millo.
