There is nothing like an early start, and yet paradoxical as it in *y seem it is possible to start too early. As a general thing there is but little upland corn planted in this county, and the majority of planters have perhaps planted nothing of any account as yet. I The Approaches of Spring.?It is only within the past few days that fruit trees in this locality have commenced to bloom. In the vicinity of Colombia they were said to be in fall bloom more than two weeks ago.

A Speculative Colored Max.?A darkey wishes to know of us if there will ever be any more elections in tbis 1 country now.

'/* v*<v maintainance of its millions, the South is dependent almost entirely upon its cotton crop.

The farmers do not seem to be backward in farming. Some of them are through planting corn and have commenced preparing their lands for cotton. Grain crops are coming oat and growing very fast, with about three-fourths of a staud. Farmers seem to be in good spirits, hoping to see good crops in the future. Guanos are used more this year than last. Our school is cottfktct^d'by the Kev. i Mr. Vann. We had Dr. Boyd, our ! School Commissioner, to pay us a visit on the 20th inst.

Dr. Millard, of England, tvho is now delivering a series of lectures here, spoke on Monday night at the Baptist church on Sir Walter Scotl. fhe lecturer dwelt principally noon [he life and character of his subject cvith occasional reference to his work In literature as poet, novelist and a nan of genius. He put before his ludience Scott, the school-boy?not mlike other school-boys?a frollick>otne fellow that cared but little for jis books; Scott, the rising young barrister of very moderate income, | md Scott, the renowned poet, novelist j md historian, whose works had | >rought him with a world-wide fame j ;he most extravagant offerings of the | ickle goddess of fortune. Sir Walter j >vas not a success as a lawyer, and the vorld may congratulate itself upon his incident in his life. For if he had succeeded as such mankind would lave lost his work in literature which ! hey can ill afford to spare, for what- j ;ver may be said of hini as a poet, it s certain that as a novelist he had no ival in his day and generation, if ndeed he has had any since. It was le who first snatched fiction from the j rnlgar hands of obscurity, struck the grotesque from its pages, and made it i lever for the moral elevation of his ace. Dr. Millard's delineation of characer is all thai conld be wished for. In ;his lecture Sir Waltei*,i? character >tood out in well determined aud easiy marked proportions. He carried hrough every vicissitude of life the ;ame simplicity of character which in rested him with a commendable superiority to the corrupting and isolating nfluences of wealth: nor could even uxury lull to sleep the generous instincts of his lolty nature. Those who nissed this lecture missed a treat. On Tuesday night Dr. Millaru lecured in the Court House on "Oliver Dromwell, Ibe Lord Protector of Eiigand." We must regret that the want >f space will prevent our doing full nstice to the lecturc. It was manifest ;hat Cromwell was held in decided Kr fUn cno?l*ai* onf^ lion :o rescue his fame from the partial oblivion into which it had fallen, and his came from the caiomny which had jeen heaped upon it, was a pleasing Inly to the lecturer. The speaker Jealt of course with the great histori:al events of Cromwell's time, the jtruggle between Charles and his parliament, and finally the rupture and livil discord which lifted the great puritan leader from the obscurity of private life to the throne of a mighty nation. Throughout the lecture Cromwell stands out an uncompromising patriot, struggling against the en jroaenmenis 01 aosoiuusm auu confuting with every power of his intellect, the infamons dogma of the divine right of kings. We must confess that for ourselves bhere are some facts in the Protector's life that are hard to reconcile with this theory. When we behold the former leader of the puritan parliament dissolving that parliament at the point of the bayonet, when we see him lock St. Stephens's Hall and walk off with the key in his pocket with more absolute power than Nero or Dioclitian ever wielded at Some, or that Charles, his despotic predecessor, ever dared to aspire to in England, we find some difficulty in classing him with the I Washingtons of history. The lecturer, in closing, referred to the kindly feeling that exists in England to-day towards the people and the institutions of this country, referring to the fact of our unity as a race, with the one language, one literature and one system of laws. He might have gone further and said, perhaps with historic truth, that law which had been expounded from the bench behind him had been quoted with approval in Westminster Hail. The lecturer spoke about two hours and held the attention of the audience throughout. The lecture is well worth hearing. On Wednesday night Dr. Millard lectured in the Baptist church on "Mary, Queen ot Scots," dealing principally with the life and character of his subject, but of course to some extent with the historical events of her day. Perhaps there is no subject in tne wnoie range 01 ji.ngiisn msiory more prominently snited to a popular lecture than the life and character of this beantiful, facinating woman. In her life history seems to have vied with romance, if indeed a parallel can be found in all the annals of fiction. Her empire seems to have been spiritual as well as secular. All who came within the radins of her charms yieldi ed up an unsolicited homage to her ! marvelous beauty. In the first flush j of youth, when at the Court of the ' Valois in France, she inspired princes, , noblemen and poets. It was here that i iiousard, the Virgil of his age, speaks ! of her, according to L&martine, with | such delicacy and polish of accent as I nroves that his nraise sorans- from his I love?that his heart had subjugated his j genius. Nor does the witching of her j charms appear to have forsaken her | even in middle life, if the intrigues i which she inspired among the Scottish j nobility at Holyroad Castle may be ! t.il-on oc niu' inn nf Iipp nnwpr. , , - ? ' j Every incident iii her life wears the i vesture of remance?from the throne | of France she passed to the throne of i Scotland, and from thence to an Eng.* ! lish fortress, there to languish for | seventeen years in hopeless imprisonment, npon a groundless charge. From this place she was taken to the scaffold a victim to the religious dissenticus of her clay and to the jealousy of her rival the "Virgin Queen." She met death with a courage that was the one proud virtue of her race and with a heroism that redeems her fame from every calumny, as it obscures for a time the infamy of the scaffold. The lecturer handled his subject with marked ability, holding the attention of his audience for more than two hours. On Thursday night Dr. Millard lectured at the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church on "John Banyan, the Immortal Dreamer." This lias been pronouuccd by many the best of Dr. Millard's series of lectures. The speaker seemed always at home with Bunyau, aud in perfect sympathy with the deep religious sentiment of this early apostle of the Baptist faith, whose remarkable genius and Stirling virtues ~ L* _1 i. J ~ 1 i1.A ui cuaraciui, serve iu reuuer lain uie most remarkable figure of the literary, as well as the ecclesiastical history of England. That this untutored thinker who learned his alphabet after he reached his majority, who had no sort of acquaintance with the great masters of the poetic art, should have written the most splendid allegory to be found in the English tongue, is indeed a marvel, that is at once unexplicable upon any other hypothesis than that of innate genius. On Friday night Dr. Millard lec tured at the Methodist eburch on "Sir Thomas Moore and his Favorite Utopia," which for want of space we are unable to report. A SHOCK1SO OCCURRENCE. Three Jfeffro Children Burned to I>eath One More Case of Criminal Carelessness. Information has been received of a dreadful occurrence on the plantation of John G. Mobley, Esq., in this county, on Thursday last. A colored woman, wife of Sylvester McClellan, was sent by her husband to Mr. Mobley's dwelling, to get some rations. She went, leaving her three children locked in the house used by her husband and herself. She remained away about three hours, and on her return she found the house entirely destroyed and her three children burned to death. When the fire was discovered, help came, but too late. The eldest child was taken out alive, but it died in less thau an hour. The bodies of the other two were utterly destroyed. It is supposed that the children were p'aying with the fire, and in some way the house caught. This shocking occurrence is one of hnf fnA e>nmrv>nn inctanftio r\f Hrntril carelessness on the part of negro women, who leave their children locked up, while they themselves go about other matters. Is there no remedy? THE BUBGLAB CUZLEX. He Mmkea a Bold Break for Liberty, bat Laughingly Surrender!. The Columbia Begister of Sunday gives the particulars Ot the attempt of Thomas Cnllen to escape from his confinement. Cnllen, it ^willfbe rememhp.re/l. was nnnvir.fpd of hi?r<rl <> rv. at the February term, 1884, of the Court of General Sessions for this county. The llegister says that about eleven o'clock on Friday night, fifteen or twenty shots were heard in the direction of the penitentiary. They were fired at Thomas Cullen. It seems that he was employed in the hose factory, and during dinner hour, he slipped into the drying room and from there he climbed up to where a movable plank covered a hole, through which he crept and concealed himself between the plank ceiling and the floor of the shoe factory above. When Cullen was missed thorough search was made for him without success. The officers of the prison concluded that Cullen ttrno aartl a/1 trt if Kin ^ V* a i<a >Y oo vvuv/caxvu uic ui?uuoui ? and would make his effort to escape daring the night; therefore bonfires | were built about the prison yard, the guard doubled and strict watch kept. About the hour above stated Cnllen, who had polled off his coat and shoes, came out from his hiding place and had barely emerged from the mess hall, through which he had made his way, when the sharp crack of a rifle was heard and a ball whistled by him. Then began the fusilade of rifle shots as Cullen darted from one place to another in his wild efforts to escape. He dodged the balls with remarkable success for not one shot reached its aim. "Finriinor thnf. hp har? V?ppn fWUpfi ? ? ? J, ~ MVVM in a desperate scheme. Cnllen raised the white flag and the firing ceased. Cullen intended to reach a sentry box in one corner of the enclosure, break the lock, run up to the wall and drop to the ground, a distance of eighteen feet. In this, however, he would have been foiled as a guard occnpied that box. When Cullen surrendered he was very cool and laughingly acknowledged his mistake in not waiting until Saturday liicrht. when the onnr.lnsion j would have been reached that he had escaped by some unknown means, and the watch would probably have been relaxed. He said if he had waited in his place of concealment until the next night he would have escaped. Ee Imd water and other preparations for a nays concealment;, ana no one wouia have supposed he was between the floor and ceiling. Those who doubted that he had hidden there for twelve honrs were convinced when he related conversations he overheard below at 2 p. m. "Workmen were driving nails in the drying room, not more than arnvs length from where he was lying. Cullen stated that he had been just one week in laying his plans for that effort to escape.* ITEMS FROM HALSELZVILLE. There don't ypra to he manv items of news in onr community jitst now. The farmers are both busy and anxious and some of them are bine. The severe winter seriously injured the early sown grain, and the spring has been utterly unfavorable to largely sow late oats. I don't believe that the ! nvApnnf /-? ? *1 /-N o f Af A ?I ? TX ^ 1 LCV.il I. WiiVllLAVM VI tXXUCl VI V/ III lrt.1 III" ers is as good as usual. What a blessed thing is hope, especially for a poor, short-sighted farmer, who seems never to learn anything from experience. He buys more guano, hire9 more labor, plants more cotton, makes large : debts, and is buoyed up with the vain ! idea that, although J have signally j failed for the last twenty years with guano, cotton, and,?well you know* what?still this will be the l;cst crop year since Adam. Snch farmers are doomed to another disappointment, and from the lurid appearance of the political skies across the deep, it may be the greatest of their lives. Bat we are all joined to our idol and it is useless to either write or talk against it. There is certainly a better wrav and oar hard worked farmers should find i it out. I have heard favorable reports from each of our public schools in this township. The Board of Trustees thought that they could best supplj the needs of the people by properly locating three good schools?one atFeasterviile under Professor Lehell, one at Cool Branch under Mr. Walter Keller, and the Crosby Instititute under Miss E. J. MeCully, formerly of Blackstock. Our community regretted that Professor D. B. Busby felt it his duty to leave. "Ho harl iHonHwifh nnrsr.llfinl work for several years, and those who had patronized him longest esteemed him highest as a thoroughly efficient teacher. Miss McCully comes with good prestige and has made, if I am a judge, an auspicious beginning. Our highest ambition is, however, at present to have a good neighborhood school. Your correspondent recently passed upon the L. & V. R. R. I never was so impressed with the magnificent appearance of the farm of Capt D. P. i Crosby at Herbert. This farm consists of several hundred acres of flat lands in the fork of Broad and Tiger rivers, mostly safe from high water. Cotton will be largely planted here this year. Three hundred bales sold from so many acres would bring in a snug little sum. 111c irum 01 me iinuter is when Captain Crosby gets in the notion to lighten his load by dividing with his friends, I speak for Herbert. I hope no one will regard me greedy when I also modestly intimate that I would have no objection to a neat slice where I am. _ We hear mauy and loud complaints against ihe railroad company for denying the people all reasonable accommodation as to freight on either side of the river. I hear that the Commission will make an effort to force the railroad authorities to establish an agency. It is a cruel wrong to so inconvenience the people, and seems to me a violalion of chartered rights. A depot is needed on each side of the river as these are shipping points for large scopes of coanljry. I Mr. Lake, who has been for several years the polite, efficient agent at Shelton, leaves this week for Prosperifir twill vomoin fnv a short I l/T ) IT UV1W UV ir A?ft ? VkUM*** -Vk w ? time recuperating his strength. By uniform politeness and devotion to duty, Mr. Lake has made many warm friends. The tenderest sympathy of his friends was expressed in many ways during the long and severe affliction of himself and family while in our midst. Our best wishes" follow Mr. Lake and his family. There seems to be considerable excitement over the trial justiceships in our usually quiet community. Two petitions are out, one to depose and one to retain. I expect to sign neither and not to express any opinion as to the merits of the case in this connection merely refer to it as an item ot news. Without being personal I can refer to a few characteristics tbat we need in a trial justice. First, he should be a man of too much integrity and old-fashioned honesty to make" business in his office, or, in other words, to use it for selfish ends. Secondly, the above being settled, he should be a man of sufficient discrimination as to determine what ought to come into his court. For the want of this faculty an honest officer may frequently admit into his court a case that has no merit, and that it would be far better for the public weal to settle in some other way. Thirdly, he should be a man of such invincible determination and impartiality as to do his dnty without fear or favor. In doing right a man may, in the end, always count on the hflcbjiiof r?f thp srmfimpnt of the best people. j. d. m. Halsellville, S. C.. How He St ruck It Very Rich. Mr. J. B.
