Slight earthquake shocks still continue in and around Sumnierville, bat the people are getting familiar with them and pay but little attention to the vibrations. mm pi New York's subscription to the Charleston sufferers now amounts to the handsome sum of sixty thousand dollars, while Boston follows a good second with fifty-three thousand. Tiie call which was recently made lor a meeting of the Free Trade Association in Columbia on the 22nd inst. has been withdrawn, as it was not thought advisable to hold the meeting at present. Governor Thompson's son recently received an appointment under the civil service rules in the treasury department, but was afterwards induced by his father to resign as it might lead to criticism. It appears that the appointing officer was ignorant of the lact that the appointee was a son of the assistant secretary. A ncmbkr of the scientific fraternity have predicted another severe shock of the earthquake about the 26th of the present month. Others "hoot" at the idea of such a thing. There is one consoling feature forour people though the predictions come true. They tell us it will spend most of its furv in the far Northwest. Gen. W. S. Crawford, U. S. A., \^who was one of the garrison at Fort Sumter at the time of the bombardment, is now on a visit to the city cf j Charleston to see for himseit tne necus and wants of the city. He has received a hearty welcome to the city, and his observations which have bee ".1' published in the News and Courier will be read with interest by our people. The Hon. S. S. Cox does not like ! the life of a minister and will return as soon as possible to the United States. In a recent letter to a friend in "Washington he says that he would again like to be a member of the House, but his better-half opposes it in a determined manner, as she thinks he should retire from active politics. The minister thinks her wishes will have to be respected. Ex-Sexator McDoxald says that Indiana will go Democratic this fail hv a handsome maioritv. and that a majority of the delegation to Congress j will be Democratic. He thinks that j President Cleveland has strengthened I the party by his pension votoes, and it will be evidenced in the vote this fail. The Senator does not deny the report that he will be a candidate for a seat in the United States Senate if the Legislature is Democratic. A special from Chattanooga gives a very pleasing account of the way in which the gubernatorial canvass is progressing in Tennessee. The Democratic and Republican nominees are : brothers and are making a canvass of! the State together. They always stop j al LUC biWUC LlLHCij auu in iuotautv; : they were occupying the same rootn. They are both accomplished musicians, and during their stay in the city two violins were banded them, when they drew their chairs close together and ; ?in - ? ? entertained the crowd for some time with delightful music. They preserve the same friendly relations and nothing is said to jar the sensibiltv of either. Some one has inquired and found the ' the following to be true in regard to the : religion, education and occupation of some gentlemen of the Slate: Col. i Richardson, the nominee for Governor, ! is an Episcopalian, as are also Comp- j troller General Stoney and Adjutant I and Inspector General Bonham; Secre- j tary of State Leitner and Treasurer ; Bamberg are active members of the j Methodist church; Attorney General : Vonln onrl T .ion frmoCZArornm* JUv*ilV UUU XilVllUtivtlH ?MUUi din arc Baptist, and Superintendent of Education Rice is an Elder in the .Presbyterian church. The Lutheran and Associate Reformed Presbyterian are not represented. Col. Richardson aud Col. Leitncr were educated at the South Carolina ! College, Messrs. Mauldin, Earle and Rice at Furman University, Green-: ville, S. C., Mr. Stoney at the Citadel Academy, Mr. Bonham at the Carolina Military Institute, Charlotte, X. C., and Mr. I S. Bamberg at the private ! schools in Barnwell county, S. C.?a self-made man. Col. Richardson, Mr. Maniuai a:ul Mr. Stoney are farmers; Mr. Bamberg, merchant and banker, Mr. Earle, Mr. Leitner and Mr. Bonham, lawyers. ttr-Tnnr.-rtrv ?i oth r i in ?m;mn -i , i A leading exchange says: Gen. Thomas J. Iinuly, of Siar-ltntue fame, now tit his Virginia farm djwnthc Potomac River, is engaged hi writing a book exposing (he election frauds in Louisiana and Florida in 1S7G. He says he knows as much about the frauds as any other person and thinks he can write a truthful history of the u:-.4 :TT~ .. 4* uidiuiic Muui. lie u;t> UIIV ui "visiting statesmen" ami spent soinc three months in Florida during the controversy. In a somewhat extended interview printed in a:i evening paper of Washington the General is quoted as saying: t;I propose to place several alleged statesmen and others on the public pillory in order that their fellow-citizens may see them in their true light. Some people posing bcT^Kf public as moral saints, wjitra'""bolicrthan-thou cast of coji^rtfenance, I shall impale upon tj^f"points of their own corruption I shall embellish my book with facsimile autograph letters and memoranda which will speak for themselves. In short, it will give the irue msme nisiory ui me r ionua election returns of 1S7G and of the StarKoute investigation and trials, with all the collateral incidents, Congressional and otherwise, connected therewith. I have shielded a lot of hypocrites and moral cowards long enough, and there is nothing left for me to do but to publish the truo inside history of these events. They may say of me as was said of Rousseau's private | memoirs: 'It is mighty interesting reading, but he was a fool to publish them.' I caivl help what anybody may say. It is my time now to speak out, and I shall do so fully and fear- i lessly." The following communication from Capt. B. It. Tillman will be of interest to the farmers ot our county: I desire to call the attention of the farmers of the State to the following resolution, passed last April by t he Farmers' Convention: "The committee on permanent organization reported as follows: "We recommend that an organization be formed, to be known as the Agricultural Association of South Carolina; the members of this association to consist of delegates elected by county agricultural associations or conventions on the basis of representation in both branches of the Ueneral Assembly, said delegates to be elected on salesdav in October, and to hold office lor one year. The first meeting' to be held in Columbia on Tuesday of fair week, next November/' The convention provided for in the above resolution will meet in Columbia at 12 o'clock on Tuesday, November 9, and transact such business as it may deem proper. Notice will be given of the place to meet in. Many rvf cniinii(>? Imvo .ilrond v .-innoiiited their delegates. I would urge upou the farmers in every county to be fully ; represented by their best men. Where I counties are not already organized, a mass meeting can be called any time during October, or on salcsday in November, to elect delegates; or the Democratic clubs can meet in a farmers' convention and send delegates. This organization is bound to exert great influence on the future welfare of oar -agricultural interests, autLcannotiail'to prove oenenciai, not uniy io farmers but to all other classes. All papers in the State friendly to retrenchmont and economy in our State Government, and to the cause of agricultural advancement, will please copy. B. It. Tillman, Chairman Executive Committee Farmers' Convention. Mn. Beksox, a gentleman who has giren very considerable study to the recent earthquake at Charleston, takes issue with Prof. McGee as to the causes of the earthquake, and asserts that it is not a land-slide but a deep-seated force. In concluding Ins article to the JYeios and Courier 0:1 the subject, he says: The experience of those who felt the first shock, it is stated, was a sinking sensation. The depressions in the ground, found in numerous places ten miles from Charleston, denote compression, compaction of porous subsoil, bringing closely together loose and fragmentary portions. These depressions show that the ground has sunk in various places from two to three feet, and in one place a cavity was formed great enough to swallow a peach tree and part of a house. The oscillatory motion observed in the condition of chimneys, steeples and buildings is due, also, to compression of porous subsoil, which, being elastic, a rebound is produced, and thus two movements were occasioned, one up ward and tnc otner aownwara, anu daring the interval between the two movements detached objects were .thrown in suspension and changed their relative position; hence, we find, in many cases, chimney?, steeples and buildings twisted on their bases and sometimes appearing to have made translatory or lateral movement. This compression, bein^ so great, was undoubtedly effected by subterranean agency. For this is the only natural force capable of so great ar. energy. This subterranean action is characterized by the expenditure ot its strength on its first exhibition in any given locality, and this was observed in the disturbance at Charleston, for, although frequent shocks were subsequently felt, the first was (he most severe, not only in the sensation but also in the physical effect. A leading exchange says: "There are but few persons who expect Secretary Manning- to resume his seat a! the Cabinet tabic. Ilis personal friends and those who are m frequent communication with the members of the Manning family assert positively that his decision to retire from the treasury department is final, and has been unchanged since he forwarded his resignation to the President. The latter was and is now averse to losing Mr. Manning from his official familv, but he realizes the true condition of Mr. Manning's health, and therefore cannot -. J conscientiously insist upon his remaining. Had Mr. Manning's resignation been promptly accepted when first tendered there are hundreds of antiadministration people who, it is claimed, would have seized upon the opportunity lo charge that there was a political disagreement between the President and his best friend anil most valued political adviser. As soon as Mr. Manning's lamiiy physician diagnosed the case he announced that it would be almost a? much as the! patient's liie was worth for him to ; attempt to tax his brain with the cares ; and responsibilities, to say nothing of the physical duties, of secretary of the treasury. As much as the President aa&> r-j>nrpcg--^rr~Ttt mr mtst nrtrr?r aaaam regretted to make a change in his Cab inet, he was obliged to bow lo the Inevitable. It was determined, howeve.*, that there was no necessity for I hasty action, a* Acting Assistant Secretary Fairchiid was fully competent to manage the financial branch of the Government. In the meantime the extent of Secretary Manning's physical infirmities has become apparent to all reasonable persons, and he will reluctantly retire from public lite."' It is a standing question whether | prohibition has any depreciating effect i upon the trade and general prospeiity I of a town. Prohjl>rtTw. '> of course ! ;ov tin. i f^T- ^iMitvnns tlic>ffler hand the antis think just the 'Opposite. Siiice Atlanta went "dry" we find one dispatch saying her trade is lost and her general prosperity is at an end, while another says she has such a bocut as was never seen before. Looking at the "whole business from an independent standpoint it seems that the business of Atlanta has been decreased in the past year. Prohibition might have done it, or it might not, but the most evidence is that the trade has decreased since the prohibitory laws. It is a question that will vex any community, but as far as Atlanta is conccrned, it seems to us that the antis have the best'of it. The local political situation in Xew York is in a chaotic condition. There is as much confusion as ever in regard to the mayoralty. "Whether there will be a union of the Democratic forces, or whether the three factions will present separate candidates; whether the citizens' committee will unite with one of the Democratic factions or "go :t alone"; whether Mayor Grace will be nominated, notwith ing uis pnone declaration mai ne is not a candidate, or whether he will favor the nomination of ex-Mayor Cooper or his political friend, Fire Commissioner Pnrroy; whether the Republicans will nominate a candidate or be backed to win or one to be put up to trade against?all these are unanswered conundrums. This week will witness the starting of a boom for J. Edward Simmons, president of the board of education, who would like .to run as a citizens' candidate with a Tammany Ilali endorsement. Mayor Grace has gone to Lenox, Mass., for rest, but lias been followed by several local politicians. If lie should run for re-election there can be no doubt of his great strength with the people, as well as with the County Democracy politicians. His removal of Squire and his appointment of Gen. Xewton have increased his political strength. He has said that he is not a candidate date for mayor, but has not said tlut he would positively decline to accent an election. But several months ago Mr. Grace said that he did not believe that it was for the best interest of * <rood citv sroveruuient that a mayor should serve two consecutive term.*. TT1X7EIZ l'LOUG UIXG. Messrs. Editors: When Horace Greeley was asked why he did not lament during a drought, he said: '*1 plough in winter instead of fretting- in summer." Knowing, as some of us do l>v experience, that ;hc latter is followed by neglect of the farmer, it is a source of wonder why the subject o! winter plowing receives so little attention from the intelligent,and is so little practiced by the tillers of the soil. The advantages accruing from winter ploughing arc so derided that there is no need of any scientilio exposition of the subject to convince the most skeptical. Every one can acquaint himself with sufficient facts to see wherein lie is wronging his pockets by keeping an idle team through the golden days of winter. , The sooner we accept the fact that it takes twelve months in the year to make a crop, and that winter work is far more valuable than commercial fertilizer, the sooner we will be on the highway of success. The writer has fully proven that if a field receives a liberal application of vegetable mailer,and is then thoroughly ploughed once or twice during winter, (not scratched over, but sitbsoiled,) a drought of three or four weeks will be of small moment in the crop yield. If any should feel skeptical about this, just let them prove it to their own satisfaction in the following way: Select two fields, to No. 1 apply some vegetable matter, then plough thoroughly, more than once if possible, at riie same time attend to terracing, ditching, etc. No. 2, you leave unturned to crest, and harden through winter, wasting whatever plant food that may have been on it by the water treeing away. Now in spring prepare and plant alike, for some time the plants may spring alike from the stimulus of favorable seasons. The planter seeing no difference yet, begins to think his labor lost, but wait for a few drv davs?thev arc siii'e to come-field No. 1 presents* no deteriorating appearance, but grows steadily, each night a liberal share of moisture comes up imparting new life io the plant, causing it to retain its vigor and color, and 51" tha drought is not of marked duration, the yield will not be materially lessened. By this time field Xo. 2 is found in a condition quite reverse to No. 1, the ground is dry and hard, moisture docs not come surface-ward, on account of which the plant stops growing, loses color and shows by unmistakably signs that a one-half crop is inevitable. All this is reasonable and natural; by breaking or pulverizing at a time in which rain is abundant, the soil is given greater capacity to plentifully appropriate j moisture. This stowing away of mois-! ture is a slow process and cannot j reach completion alone tnrougn me short, iloody spring rains, besides winter rains come slower and in smaller drops, which greatly facilitates absorption. Assist Nature in this matter and she will be prompt in bountifully lilling her storehouses, to be dealt out again in the right place and at the right time. "w. n. fSiscklon's Arnica Salve.

I A Statement of Some Thoughts upon its I tirpose ami Jbirects. Messrs. Editors: I will attempt to give you and ihe readers* or your paper my opinion of the farmers' movement. I am only eighteen years of age, and have therefore not yet reached the age of maturity. I know not what is absolutely right, bur I do what I think is right. Perhaps you may ask?for what reason did I join the fanners' club? The reason is that I am a farmer and my father before me was a farmer and I was thrown into the world .without experience in fanning, and if there was anything to I t>e learned in the fanners' clubs about farming it was my expectation to: learn the sum and substance of farming. It was rumored from the mouth of almost everv farmer, "The man of the clay, B. It. Tillman, the farming Moses', has arisen to lead us out of our present condition." I was laboring under the impression that the farmers' clubs were to discuss matters about farming', iis improvement, etc. We, the farmers of this section of the township, met at liock Creek and organized what is called the "Farmers' Club." A president was elected and I was elected as secretary. I thought I the time had arrived when I would j learn something in the science of farming. But alas! What followed? At j the second or third meeting, instead of the farmers meeting and wearing their homespun shirts and copperas breeches, they were there in starched shirts and j glistening shoes; and every man thought lie was u member of the Legislature or Congress. I remained dormant, for 1 well remember the nmxiin, "in a multitude of counsel there is wisdom." The president callcd the club to order. I took my seat near him to take notes of the proceedings. I might just as well have tried to take nofes of the grains of sand on the seashore as to have frirtl to notes of what was said. j Several questions were discussed. The most important was the proposition that the president discussed before the body, which was as follows: "That we ought not to allow the merchant, in weighing our cotton, to take off breakage ;and we ought to have t he right to take oil' breakage when we buy our bacon." The question was discussed and it was finally agreed that the law on "breakage" was a good law. The law is passed, but it has not yet been enforced. Several other questions were discussed, but they arc too numerous to mention. Messrs. Editors, what is to become ofour country ? There is more truth than fiction in the illustration of Mr. Tillman in regard to the way in which a farmer frames a law. We curse and abuse the lawyers, but were it not for the lawyer, with all the abuses, our country would sink down to oblivion and ruin. Do not understand me to say that it would be the farmer that would ruin our country. I will say i: there were no bitter there would be 110 sweet; if there were 110 black there would be ncr white; and if it were not for the different representations, there | would be no line of demarcation to be j drawn. In a multitude of counsel, t^ be wisdom there must be other reprc-; sentation than farmers. "Why should j we farmers meet to pass laws in the | farmers' clubs? TMor.L-cfr?tir? envs tllnf lovisfclfion is : the greatest act of superiority than j ' O ?' mwitwwV ?Ivt* /tnA - -H/V^ v??av^i* 4 another. Is the farmers' club a su- j prcmc power of a State? It Sbems-so, j when they are trying to pass statute } laws. Mr. Tillman says the "farmer*', movement" is a good thing. He tells us our condition, etc. But he fails to give us the remedy. Mr. Tillman says that we farmers in the Legislature j get up and vote at the dictation of | others. I think Mr. Tillman should j know whereof he speaks on this point. ! In his address in Winnsboro he re-1 peated this charge and asked one of our lleprescntatives for an opinion 011 this subject, and Mr. Brice replied? "I cannot sav that I have known such a case". I hope we farmers will organize But I am sorry to say that we have not made much progress so far. I am neither a prophet nor am i tue son 01; a prophet; but I predict that our farm-! ers' clubs will not have any more i weight than a feather towards doing j us farmers any good?except to or-1 ganize and give our views on fanning and instruct the youth of our land how to farm. I love mv country and it will be my effort, with all my mental and physical powers, to maintain that affection for my beloved State. Kind readers, hold your farms and do not forsake them. Make your living by the sweat of your own brows and not by passing laws that some of us arc trying to pass in our farmers' clubs. Leaving the farmers? clubs,*1 will make a few remarks on the Lien Law. Some writers claim that the Lien Law i * ~ ""Ann AANll^W f-T/\TTT ??! if V ! 15> 1 111 111 U?? L?Ul VAAUUlAT. jo ii. | And why is it degrading anybody? "Was not the Lien Law made for the poor mau? Some claim that it is ruining them, for this reason?that a fanner goes to his merchant, with whom he is dealing, and gets his supplies at once (say in January), and instead of attending to his fanning interests, as he should do, he neglects (hum and does not care whether he pays one cent for the supplies that he has gotten on a lien. Allow me to illustrate. I heard a friend of mine sa\, the other day, that he knew a young farmer {hat contracted with a merchant to furnish him the amount of twenty-five dollars to run a onehorse farm that year. You all know that is a small sum to run a one-horse farm, unless it was an ox farm; and a farmer would have to be very economical to get through with that amount. This young man, instead of investing this small amount in provisions, bought a twenty-two-dollar suit of l.wr5iwf rtnlT- rlrtllofc i/\ ICtil it'jj \S IA t J V4JA.VW MV/HUIO sTJ buy orovisious with to ran his farm. The consequence was that he made no crop?and the Lien Law was the cause. The Bible strictly forbids any one from calling another a fool, but what could I call this young man but a fool? i It was not the Lien Law that .legraded ! him. He was degraded beforehand, or before ho went on a lien. I do not think a farmer with the right intellect would go on a lien if he could otherwise manage. For instance, if he had only half enough capital to run his farm, he prefers the Lien Law to the mortgage. Now, if the Lien Law were abolished, our only dependence would be the mortgage; and instead of a little cotton and corn being soid by the sheriff under a lien, it would be your land, stock and everything el.se, and you would be left homeless. Repealing or abolishing the Lien Law reminds me 01" a person going 'possum hunting, climbing a tree, and instead ot clinging to the body of the tree and cutting oil" the limb that the 'possum is uilj Iiu gUlS uut UJ1 U1V HMU IIUA L IV UIU 'possum and cats the limb it) two and ?down coinc limb, 'possum, axe and man. Some men claim that the Lien Law upholds laziness and rascality. Messrs. Editors, if it were left to the option of every man to pick flaws in our laws we would not have any law in the statutes of South Carolina, without a flaw. What upholds laziness aud rascality more than the \ i Homestead Law? A man will go and buy anything and everything on a | credit that lie can get, from a sewing | needle up to a saw mill, that is of no use to him, and at the same time does not intend to pay cne cent for it. : Our wives are owning all of our ! property. What accounts for this? : Messrs. Editor?, I have 110 wife at present, but I hope the time is not far distant when I will have one to keep in order?for order is Heaven's tirst law. But there is no such order ever given or directed from Heaven for a man to contract debts and at the same time not intend to pay them. For the Divine lav says, ''Thou shait not steal7', and any man that will contract debts not intending to pay them, does worse than stealing, and ought to be punished for it. He ought to be made to work out his time in the penitentiary until the amount is paid, working twelve hours per day, at fortycents per day, and be fed on nothing but buttermilk and cow-peas. J. E.
