The Cape Fear and Cincinnati Railroad
which promises to be soon built,
may be of considerable interest to
South Carolina. From a prospectus
of tke company the following information
is taken: "The road is to run

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. The officers

Is It(Plot?
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

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

Orleans, and judging- from the many
new interprises that are now being
set on foot, it will be but a short time
until this section will be fully up with
the times. 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. This immediate part of the
Mississippi Valley has many interest- j
ing features which I will take pleasure j
in describing to your readers in the
near future. success 10 om r unuvm, j

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. Neville

greatly prospered. When lie goes he
will leave behind him a united and
working congregation and a most
flourishing Sabbath school as fruits of
his untiring zeal and indefatigable
labor. 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.

Allen says he found it much better
than he anticipated; and he got plenty
to eat and did not have to work very,
hard. It seems that the only thing
that marred the pleasure of his visit
there was the close confinement at
night and a little pugilistic encounter
he had with another convict for which
he was tied up and lashed severely.

The heaviest rain of the year so far
fell in the afternoon of yesterday,
and it has been raining almost constantly
since. The watercourses will
in all probability be very high and
will doubttess result in much damage
to crops on the bottom lands. *

CROP REPORT.

July 21. 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.
