From a prospectus of tke company the following information is taken: "The road is to run ev? from Wilmington, X. C., south to Southport, N. C., thence westernly througn Heavy loresc 01 yenow pme and other timber lands to Conway, S. C. Here the road diverges in three directions, the main line goiug southwest to Georgtown and Charleston, S. C. Another division will run north from Conway to Salisbury, X. C., via Marion, Bennetsville, Rockingham, Little Mills and Albemarle, and the third division will run from Conway northwest to Greenville, S. C., via Vlrtr*??w>p flamflen. Winnshoro and Union. The total length of the line is 465 miles The company owns valuable terminal facilities at Southport, X. C., where it is proposed to erect wareliouses, wharves, coal piers, cottou press, elevator, etc. so that grain and coal can be taken to Southport from the Northwest and loaded into vessels, the city of Southport being situated at the mouth of the Cape Fear liiver and only five miles from the Atlantic Ocean.

Complaint* of omissions iti the recent enumeration of inhabitants are beiugmadein different parts of the country a*d especially from the three principle cities in the State. The people of ('n^rleston ami Greenville charge that the count has not been a fair one anu thai their population is much larger thau made out by the census takers. On the htels of these complaints comes a statement by the ^ew York Tribune, which is very close to the Republican manipulators, that the new apportionment in Congress based upon me census returns of 1890 will materially incrua>e the representation of States which arc surely llcpublican ^ and diminish the representation of . some which elect only Democrats * The largest losses it is claimed, will I'mm th? rf?nr<?sp.ntatiims of Sonth C*io!ina, Mississippi and Georgia. The cornplaiuts referred to above seem to indicate that the Tribune knows what it is talking about and that the cen-ns returns of these States nave been made to order. In striking contrast to the regulation of 1SS0 is that adopted in the present census. Then the enumerators were required to fiie in the ofiLe of Clerk of Court a list ot the inhabitants as enumerated, which list was there for public inspection. In the last enumeration the enumerators were forbidden under a penalty of $500, to divulge any of the statistics resulting from the work of census taking. The returns were Jseut to headquarter* am! from J there alone can any intunuatiou bu ob-1 tiined. It will b; remembered how-J ever, what a, he wl went up from (he!

Messrs. Editors: I have just received and read the second copy of TiieXbws and IIekald since renewing inv subscription . It had been about four years since I quit taking it, and when the first copy came, -t was like meeting with some good friend who had been long absent. Every article it con- ' tained, even the advertisements, was read with quite a degree of pleasure and interest. I am glad to find that instead of its growing rusty with age, it appears brighter and more interest mg, man ever. I am glad to learn of the good crop prospects, and the many other signs of prosperity in old Fairfield, though it seems that the political element is greatly disturbed and danger theateus the Democratic party. This part of the moral vineyard is free from any great political strife at present, there are two aspirants in the field for the judgeship of this the 10th judicial district, one is a straight Democrat and a bitter opponent of the whiskey ring-, the other an independent Democrat favoring the sale of whiskey. The former lias held the office for the past four years and his re-election is assured from the fact that the negro vote which is very strong especially, in this, Ashley and Chicot Counties where they out number the whites twenty to one, will go almost solid for the straight Democrat, being strongly opposed to whiskey. This is strictly a prohibition county, and the people, both white and black, are civil and law-abiding. They are a little behind the times in some tilings owing heretofore to a lack of railroad facilities, but" that hindering cause has lately been forever removed by the building of a first class railroad running north and south making through ? c T Von.

This has been an unusually hard year on the farmers here; hi the first place, a great deal of the fanning land was covered with back water | from the Mississippi, from the last of March until first of May, and after the overflow receded work was greatly restored on account of frequent heavy rains all through May; but since then the seasons have been quite favorable, and the general opinion of tiie farmers now is, that there will be at least 7o per cent of an average crop made. This is the best fanning country I have ever seen in this State or any where else. The soil is easy to cultivate, being very fine, with just enough sand iu it to keep it from sticking in clods, aud it will produce on an S average from 1200 to 2000 pounds of seed cotton, and from 10 to 75 bushels .'corn per acrc without the aid of any : kind of fertilizer. Small grain is not ; a success here and very little is sown. The fruit crop is almost an entire | failure throughout this country this year.

The crops in this section are very line and at present promise an abundant yield, consequently the farmers are jubilant and are looking forward t? the harvesting of perhaps the largest crops raised since -the war. The seasons since the iirst of January up to the present time have been the most favorable ever known, and the crops have been worked at less expense and trouble than in any previous year. If the seasons continue favorable through August it is thought by some that the cotton will sample badly as stalks will be so over-burdened with bolls as will necessarily cause them to break and bend 'neath the weight and much of the cotton will have to be gathered from the ground, thus staining it. It is to be hoped, however, that the stalks will con7 J tinue to grow and expand'in size and be sufficiently strong to hold up tiae anticipated exuberant crop of bolls. Rev "W. G. Nevill? has resigned his pastoral relation with Concord Church, and has accepted a call from a church in Franklin, Kentucky. A call meeting of Bethel Presbytery will convene in the Presbyterian Church at Chester on Wednesday, 30th inst., for the pur])ose of severing* his relation as pastor of Concord Church, and dismissing him. It is surmised that lie will move at once and begin work in his new iiekl of labor. 3lr.

The entire congregation deeply regret losing their beloved pastor and feel that it will be hard to fill his place again. Mr. J. M. Blain has concluded not to go into the wine business so largely this season. He has made arrange ments with the AVhite Oak Cannery for the disposal of the greater part of his grapes, where they wilfebe canned instead of being put through the usual process of the wine press. They are said to be the best and most saleable of all canned goods. Mr. Blaine has a splendid vineyard of about five acres from which he usually makes from six to seven hundred gailons of a very superior wine and f^r which he finds readv sale at $1 per gallon.

Good seasons have prevailed for several weeks past, and from present prospects may . continue for some time, as to-day is showery and cool. The cotton is doing all it can and is very full of bolls and forms, especially on old land; too much growth on fresh land though good frnitage. If every thing continues favorable line crops may be expected. Farmers are nearly through laying by their crops. Upland corn will not be as good as last year, reas are looKing well. Potatoe crop good. Gardens coming out. Melon crop reported good where well worked. WHITE OAK. July 21. A nice rain fell on the night of the 17th. It was a full season, washing seme in places. It appears to have been local however. Crops seem considerably improved. Cotton seems to be fruiting very well though small. All plowing in the regular crops is aDoui; wouna up 101this season.
