A resolution was passed I to king to the formition of .1 new association. Mr. Benet took issue with the Chairman in the opinion that members of the 'first organization were relieved from obligation to pay. He thought it important that the association be continued, and spoke of having a good school. The Chairman of the Hoard of Trustees introduced resolutions fixing pay of teachers and the amount of tuition' fees to be charged. Mr. Lee moved to lay these resolutions on the table until it was ascertained \vho wore members of the association. A, This was a meeting of the citizens and could bind nobody, and e.ould give no assurance to the Board of Trustees that the money would he forthcoming. Mr. Quartos moved the amount to which members might he assessed, he reduced from twenty dollars! > ten*dollars.: Jtev. Mr. Martin seconded the motion. .! Captain White said that ho had just risen to make the motion which had been mado by Mr. Quartos. lie thought if that change con Id be made that there won!<i boat least liftv men who would join. We needed the sympathy and co-operation of tiie whole community, and lie thought , this the best way to strengthen the ori ganizaiion, ; This amendment to Mr. Loo's res-dn\ tion was carried. Messrs. \V. A. Lee. T. P. Qtiarles, XV. A. Templet<?n, Jones Miller and S. C. Cason were appointed the committee. An opportunity was then given t > all persons present to come forward and enroll their names. ' About twenty names were enrolled. The meeting adjourned to meet again on next Friday evening at six o'clock. i Yesterday evening we learned that the j paper for signatures was presented to our people, when quite a number refused to sign it. For our own part, we believe the Association should not re-oiganize without the hearty co-operation of our citizens. We are not disposed to force a school 0:1 the communitv. .. . Tornado at Klberton. About three o'clock last Sunday after- ] noon a tornado passed over the town of : Hlbirton, Georgia. doing much damage, throughout its entire track, which as re-: ported to us, was about two tnil.-s square. ' The people of the town were greatly.] nlarmed, and during the violence of the ' storm of wind, rain, and lightning many f persons left their houses and went into 1 the streets, m.iUingexchtinatiou of terror.

And be, like "Abraham, (rare up The ghost, and died in a good old age, an old ; man, and full of years; and wa* leather- j ed to his people." We had hoped that some friend who knew the deceased better than we do, Hvould have written a titling tribute to his memory. He lived all his life in thebeauty of holiness, and served hisi .Maker with fidelity from his youth, lie ^ hid been pastor of Lebanon Presbyterian !

The crowd in attendance was not so largo as was anticipated?perhaps not more than seventy-live persons arrived thereon the excursion from An-I gusta and Greenwood. Wo .suppose about two hnndr?>d pctsons were present, all of whom appeared to enjoy themselves very much. If any one present did not enjoy himself, it was certainly his fault, as every arrangement necessary to make one have a pleasant time, had been provided. Just at dark, the lawn, where the '"Fish Pond/' "I'ost < Mice," "Lemonade Well," ice cream stand and cake tables were, was beautifully illuminated with Chinese lanterns. The jreenwood Maud was present and played a number of beautiful pieces. We never saw a more quiet and better behaved crowd. We did not learn what the proceeds of the evening were, but loci confident that a considerable amount was realized. To the young ladies and others w ho aided iu getting up this entertainment, wo return many thanks for the kind manner in! which we were received. We are informed that the friends of the Ihiptist Church, at Greenwood, will give a barbecue on the Fourth of July, for tier I purpose of raising funds to repair their j Church. Everybody is invited to como land enjoy the occasion. An address will | be delivered bv liov. W. II.

W. Kay's lack of familiarity with the pistol 1 j the eoron jr of Greenville county was unable ; t>> bold an tivjuest on the dead body of Wash Floyd i u'last Thursday. The evidence of, third parties and confession of the unfortunate woman who loved not wUely but too well show satisfactorily that Floyd, a wealthy i young man, deliberately seduced Miss Kay, a I rarely beautiful girl of seventeen summers, and the daughter of pbor but respectable parents. When the story of her ruin was made public and the broken hearted father and mother begged fortbei>oor reparation of marriage. Floyd refused and with a cocked pistol In his pocket entered readily upon an ' impromptu duel with the father of the woman he had ruined. If the story, as published, be true Floyd deserves hanging in open j daylight at the hands of the good people of Greenville. The slight wound which he received is no atonement for his crime. A woman's honor is worth more than a mail's life. I A larok assortment of towels, ranging in price from 10 to 40 cents, at Wardlaw l it Edwards.

[l'Wxhury inun. When oalsareetil green, the grains, which even when ripe, are small, will shrink very much, and, consequently. lose in weight; and when It is threshed, much will bcblown away with tIk* chair, which would not he If It. had been left standing until ripe, and the grains lull grown. Hesides this, the farmer runs a great i i>k in cutting oats before It Is ripe, esi.! I * \f >n> if urtlli ?i riMiii(?r uml tii v; if. up ill once, of having it mould; and this risk Is Increased If there should he much rain In*-, fore he can store it In the barn. It also takes longer for onls cut green to become lit for hauling than if it is left standing until tlpe, besides being much banter to cut and hanilte. Oats cut when ripe will thresh one-half easier, [is any farmer knows. The straw may niiilto better feed when cut green, but their are very few people who would wish to use it for that purpose, when they would lose twice the nmount they would gain In the loss of weight und quality of the oats. The idea of raising oats Is not so much to preserve the straw as that we may cut it when tlie oats Is best, and litis most weight. We deny that oats, when cut green, will be whiter and cleaner, but know from experience that the opposite is usually the case. When cut green, It very often has a dark color, and very often some of the grains will be moulded. When ripe It can be hauled In almost at once, and threshed as soon as hauled. Our reasons, then, for allowing oats to become ripe bt fore cutting are the tollowing: (1.) The grains will fill out better, and It will weigh irtorto when threshed. t2.) I.ess will blow away with the chalt' when threshed. (3.) It. is not so apt to mould. (J.) It can he hauled in and threshed sooner. (5.) It will liuvca better color.

By meafiffiiraH of an ingeuious instrument recen|Hff||?l invented by Dr. Lombard, of York, it is ascertained that a womaijBs^^^ body is warmer than that of a manJHraflSil about three-fourths of a degree, sometimes as high as one-half a W gree, while In no instance has HBe MsjL warmth of a male's body been foiSB^M to be greater than that of a fem?(|0;>JH ts is also definitely ascertained tgjM M children are decidedly warmer tAj^ adults, the difTerence being about degree Fahrenheit, and that thfr^^l yewger the child the greater the di- ' j versity. A difference In. the heat of, j the sides of the li'ocfy Is discovered td?f-rjl tie an Invariable law. The left side of ' the head, and extonoiag downward to J the base of the neck, is much hotter tj than the right side. These facts open up to medical men a new line of research and inquiry. I The length of the deepest cable laid'*, *53 In the world is 70,000 miles. Th? . world telegraphic lines extend over ' .

AnInoekious Device.?An ingenious French device for removing water. produced by the condensation of steam in pipes, Is among the recent ia^?^ W ventions, and consists of an entran<$|g|SB pipe, an exit pipe for the water, a float balanced by a counter weigb^ajBH and resting on the surface of wat?^?!S which accumulates in the lower pajgg?Blfl of the vessel.
