Monday night last was set apart for the grand opening of the Skating Rink in the Academy of Music. The crowd * * i 3 . r* j? mi_ ~ F was large, iiveiy ana iau 01 zun. me Citizens' Cornet Band was there and discoursed sweet music during the ^ _ evening. - The-occasion was reported ?? yen^enjoyable. and we hope the rink will be liberally patronized. The Cotton.?Reliable and competent farmers inform us that the dainr age done the cotton crop by the recent cold weather is of a much more permanent and serious character than was at first anticipated. The appearance of the cotton now is as it it had been scalded with hot water, and it will doubtless take some time for it to re- . cover from these injuries. The Agricultural Department.? j TJio TTrtn A P Tlnftor. thfi fJommis- I sioner of Agriculture, is sending out a circular letter all over the State, in which directions a^c given to the planters for the shipping of crop samples to the Department of Agriculture,. This information is invaluable and it is clearly and accurately given, and - farmers should give it careful attenIlion before shipping. The Taxes.?The time has expired ' lor Ine payment 01 tne nrst instalment of the State taxes, and Mr. Davis, our county treasurer, has collected in round numbers about $3,800, as against $2,700 to the same date of last year. This is not as good a showing as has r been made by some of the .counties. but considerably better than the collections in this county last year, and for the improvement should be thankful. Goikg to Columbia.?We arc au thorized to announce that the Steam, Fire Engine Company will positively go to Columbia and participate in the firemen's tournament. The members of the company are practising daily now and there are indications that they will make a creditable record at Columbia. About twelve new members were enrolled on Thursday night last and we shall expect to sec full ranks and a splendid show for the Steam ^?s uire .Engine company at tne nremcir's \ . tournament. Club Meeting.?The Ridgeway Democratic Club* will assemble at Head Quarters on Saturday next 14th inst., ai 11 o'clock, for the purpose of electing delegates to the County Convention to be held iu Winnsboro on the Saturday following, and for the purpp pose of reorganizing the Club.

The oats crop range in yield from fifty to sevenHpushels to the acre, the barley is ^tionaily fine and the clovcr and Aid grass crops "will make about n? a half tons of hay to the acre. All these crops are being harvested by j the use of the latest and most improved machinery and the sight is one "worth going to see. This improved machinery != being1 generally nsed in grain harvesting all over the county and ; Fairfield is moving along the highway of progress. Commencement at King's Mora- i jLvin.?A friend lias our thanks for an I irritation to attend the commencement j exercises of the King's Mountain High ; School on tbe 12th inst. The com- j mencernent address will be delivered! by the Hon. John S. Long, of New- j borne, X. C. The invitations are beau- j tifully gotten up and the exercises will j doubtless be enjoyable. We regret that we will be unable to attend. County Normal Institute.?The report of the teachers committee to the County Board of Examiners of last Saturday contained some valuable and favorable information relative to the feasibility of a Normal Institute for fhn nonntv. The action of the Board on the report was postponed until next Saturday, the 14th inst. As an important factor, which will likely influence final action in the premises, the Board is desirous of knowing what entertainment can be given the teachers here during the continuance of the Institute. The session would not last more than four days, and all families who may be willing to entertaiu one or more teachers for thai time will please notify one of the members of the Board. Cotton Statement.?The following is the comparative cotton statement for che week ending June 6, 1884: Net receipts at all United States ports during the week 12,503; to same time last year 25,228; total receipts to this date 4,759,931; to same date last year 5,822,749.

Tobacco License.?The following in regard to tobacco license may be of interest to our fanners and others: Sec. 3. That hereafter the special tax of a dealer in manufactured tobacco shall 110c be required of any farmer, planter or lumberman who furnishes such tobacco only as rations or supplies to his laborers* or employees in the same manner as other supplies are furnished by him to them. 'Provided, That the" aggregate of the supplies of tobacco so furnished by him shell not exceed in quantity 100 pound iu any one special year; that is, from the 1st day of May "in any year to the 30th day of April in the nest year. And provided further, That such far incr, planter or iumoenaan snau not be at the time he is furnishing.supplies engaged in the general business of selling dry goods, groceries, or similar supplies in the manner of a riserchant or storekeeper to others than his own employees or laborers. i Tiik Leaf Year Picnic.?The picnic at Pearson's Rocks on Thursday last was all that the most sanguine expected on that day, and the young men desire to thank the yonn^ J"dies for their rural entertainment, ^bout eight couples, chaperoned by Mrs. Dunn and Mrs. Desportes, composed the picnic crowd. "With a small but congenial crowd, the whole day was one of splendid enjoyment. The girls succeeded admirably in learning the different tastes and inclination of the different boys and consequently all were entertained according to their particular liking. The repast was plentiful and exceptionally palatable. The party remained in the woods and around the rocks until six o'clock, and all in buggies returned to their homes USkJJjJ V VYti IUV V* vuw v?^? The picnic was a success, and we-hope the ladies will not forget to entertain again. Frank Leslie's Sunday Magazine. ?The July number opens with a descriptive article by the Rev. Edward Barrass, M.

A Brilliant Wedding.?-The Rock Hill Herald gives an interesting account of the brilliant wedding of Miss Beverly Means, who is well and favor ably known in Wimisboro. It says: Last Tuesday night, June 3d, the Episcopal church at this place was the scene of the most brilliant marriage that has perhaps ever occurred in Rock Hill. _ The contracting parties were our highly esteemed fellow-townsman, Dr. T. M. DuBose, and Miss Beverly Means, daughter of the late lamented Captain Beverly Means, of I' airfield. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. E. N. Joyner in the presence of lnrorosf r>rmr?.r>nrcr? nf was ever assembled in the church. * * * * Tiras ended the marriage occasion of Dr. Theodore M. DnBose, one of the best young men and one of the most perfect gentlemen we have ever known, and Miss Frances Beverly Means, whom every one in this community esteems and honors as one of the pur i est, most aimable and loveable young -i j ladies in our country- Happy couple, j Mr. and Mrs. DnBose left on "Wed- ; i nesday afternoon's train on a tour to i I Sewannee, Tennessee, the native home j of the groom. They certainly have; the best wishes of every person in j Rock Hill for a most prosperous and ! happy life. We failed to state in the proper j ' placc that the church had been deco-, rated with festoons and garlands of; i flowers and evergreens in a roost beau- j tifal and tasteful manner by lady; | friends. It was as pretty as a picture., The Railroad Commission Cases. j ?The interesting railroad cases recent- j ly argued in the Circuit Court at Co- j luinbia were important as involving- j the powers of the Railroad Commis-! sion over the railroads of the State. The cases were heard on appeal from the decision of the Railroad Commission. and both of them were ably and elaborately argued by Col. James H. Rion for the railroad company and Attorney General Miles for the Commission. Judge Kershaw filed his defrPOC in thoco All fVlA Sivl lllSf.. In the first case the Judge decides that the railroad company canuot charge an additional one-half cent per mile for second class passengers who fail to buy tickets. This leaves the company to charge this extra rate for first, class passengers without tickets. The second case involved the light of the Commissioners to regulate freights from points within to points without the State, and the reverse. The Judge decides the Commission has no power so to do, as that affects inter-State commerce, reverses the Commission and sustains the -appeal of the railroad company. The first decision is of very little importance; but the second great ly curtails the power of the uommission. While the specific freight rates involved referred only to merchandise shipped from Columbia to North Carolina, the point decided applies to all passengers and merchandise that cross a State line. On these the Commission cannot regulate the rates upon any part of the route, even upon a road that is entirely within this State. This latter decision in a great measure practically strips the Commission or its power over the railroads, and we believe that Judge Kersdaw's decree is not only good law, bat is founded upon sound public policy.THE YOUNG MUX'S CLUB.

I then agreed with Dr. Sullivan, my family physician, to call Dr. Holloway in consultation. They made a final examination of the Eatient and pronounced the case hopeless. ? r. Holloway then suggested the Brewer's r Lung Restorer as a last resort. I sent for a & bottle and gave her a dose.
