Death ok-Mr. John. T. Johxsox.?
Mr. John T. Johnson died at bis home i
near Hidgewav on Inst Monday night!
from prostration resulting from hem- |
orrhage of the nose. Previous to this !
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

and best known citizens, and he will

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. We want a new couuty? a j
little from each of the four counties]

respectable little county. We have the ;
convenience of railroads, and we think !
we have the material for its govern-!
ment. In this new county could be i

to the court-house. Such trips seem to ;
be numerous in these days. "When we :
were boys we were taught that it was !
a credit to pay honest debts?but not
so now. The man who can evade them

possessing legislative talent can agree
with us as to forming a new county,
repealing the lien law and reducing
and making all county offices elective,
we think he can count the Corner
straight, especially provided the pri- j
mary system is abolished, which we :
think should by all moans be done. (

the club at each meeting.

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.
