Hollyhocks.
A flaunting, era colons flower, you say?
, Ah, well, it may be so;
And still it seems but yesterday,
That, morn ins lonjr ago.
I almost see the cottage yet.
The winding path?and Margaret.
A light-winged breezesailed gently by;
The lark's clear note afar,
Tliro' the blue spaces of the sky,
Slid like a falling star.
I never saw her look so fair;
Ah, if I told her, would she care.
\Vithin a scarlet hollyhock,
, A pollen-laden bee,
Peep plunging, made the blossom rock.
She flashed a smile at me,
And with a motion swift and light
She caught the silken petals tight.
Loud bummed the bee with angry wing?
"Why thus so ill content ?
The sweets you sought, poor foolish thing,"
She said, "are all misspent!"
2kly heart leaped up to hear her speak ;
A sudden courage dyed my cheek.
41 Darling!", "Oh, let him fly,
And take me in his place!
Fast prisoned in your heart could I
Ask any sweeter grace ?
I could not strugale to be free.
So dear a jailer holds the key."
Her cheek (Jusliod like an op'ning rose,
3s"o word her 1 ijxs did say?
3 saw her little hand unclose.
The glad bee flew away.
Ah, me! 'twas forty years asro?
My hair is gary?yet this I know;
I've roamed thro' many garded bowers
And blooming fields since then?
In summer wild-wood gathered flowers,
And in the mountain glen
Pulled harebells from the moss-grown rock,
Yet most I loved the hollyhock. i

Ninety-Six, S. C., April 5, 1S?G.
'Cnpt. James Pratt, one of the most practical ;
tneo in the county, was down last Week on a
visit to friends. Ask him it" he saw any good :
Jersey cattle at Ninety-Six.
We omitted last week to mention the names ,
of Mrs. L. T. Hill and .Mrs. (Jeo. C. Hodges as j
among the visitors at Ninety-Six. This was j
clearly unintentional for we are very partial j;
to these kx-Ninety-sixians.
I would here mention that Mr. James
Rogers, Jr., of our town has some tine Peterkin
Cotton Seed for s-ale. His crop last year
was exclusively of this celebrated cotton, i
Send in your orders as the supply is limited.
Col. Rice, Mr. Quattlt-bum and Mr. T. C.
Turner, went down to hear Mocjd.v and Sankey.
They were very much pleased.
Mr. J. Henry Rice who is a student at. the
South Carolina University met with a serious
accident in Columbia by falling from a gymnasium
pole. He is not dangeiously hurt we
are srifici to .state.
We have seen some beautiful advertising
?ards Issued by Mr. J. \V. Payne of Greenwood,
unlike the most of the up-country
merchants. He is not afraid of investing in
.printer's ink.
Dr. L. T. Ilill of Abbeville was down last
week on professional business.
The Rev. 0. M. Miller of Washington City
has been spending a few days with his friends
\?t this place. We were all glad to see Mr. MilJer
and regret that pressing engagements compelled
him to leave us so soon.
! M r. F. M. Pope secretary and treasury of the
\t Atlnntic Greeuville and Western Kailw.iy
\ U <Jompany tias returned from Charleston
whither he had gone to dispose of the Town*hip
Bonds. He had no trouble and readily
\ told them at par.
\| Wo notice that the correspondent from Troy
is very much concerned about Kentucky objecting
to hemp being put on the free list.
Hemp is one of the most profitable productions
of that State just as rice is of South Carolina,
yet the South Carolinian who would j
place rice on the free list would be charged ,
with insanity, and my dear brother of the
quill don't you think that a little hemp rope
could be judiciously used in our dear oid
county of Abbevi.le with beneficial ellects
about now?

patrons and scholars of the Ninety-Six iliuh .

The Rev. W. I<\ Pearson passed up the road
last week and received at this place a handsome
pair of Ply moth Rocks from Capt. James
N. King.
Mr. Earl Sloan of Charleston came up a few
days ago to join Capt. Kirk in surveying the :
Narrow Guas?e.
The citizens of our town met on last Friday [
and nominated the following gei.tleincn to
serve as intendant and wardens for the next
ensuing year. For Inteiulant?It. L. Pratt.
"Wardens?J. T. Miller, \V. L. Anderson, II. P.
Galphin, C. P. Robert. They are all good men
and will faithfully serve their constituents if
elected. They were all elected on last Mon- '
day.
Vice-President Kirk and Director L. \V.
Moore are on an extended tour through Edgelield
in t!ie interest of the new railroad.
Mr. E. S. Addison is having several hun-dred
bushels of cotton seed crushed for ma- 1
jiure. This is he thinks the proper way to apply
them. He thinks, and we believe proper
ly that in the process of rotting they loose a
large percent of their fertilizing properties.
Mr. \V. H. Frazier one of the best farmers on j
-the Saluda side of Ninety-Six has handed us ,
two dollars for the Press and Jinnncr for a,'
years subscription. Mr. Frazier is the propri- j
etor of Fleetwood farm, the home of the line

registered Jersey bull Hex of Fleetwood,

jukI a host of other good ones.
. * The Kiberton, Albeville and Monroe Hailway
Company. Our people cannot allbrd to
Jose this road, and I am satisfied they will
give liberally towards it. If you will examine
the map yon will see that the proper line
will be by Verdery to Ninety-Six. Ninety.Six
can yet vote three per cent, and I think
can raise twelve or fifteen thousand dollars
by subscription. In fact I almost know it,
with that road we could set back for awhile.
Now this is no idle speculation, hut a genuine
prize within our grasp if wo will only reach
- Ji?r il. Think about it dear friends and don't
let us stop till we pluck the fruit. The Narrow
Gunge seemed an impossibility but it only
required a little elibrt on our part, and now
it is a living Jact. Let us now seek new
fields.
Mr. J. T. Turner of Greenville who has been ;
here buying cotton since last Fail lias left for,
his home. Jlr. Turner is a gentleman in ov
cry sense of the word and we hope he will'
come again another season.
Miss Uenevire Fuller of Coronaca is visiting i
friends at Ninety-Six.
Mr. John A. Moore has sold his Norman i
Stallion Elder, to Mr. Carrierol Greenville l'or j
a fancy price.
jVo^niiiatln^: Mate Officer* ?u?l Con-1
jcressmeu by Primary Elections.
[ Xeubcrry Observer.]
A correspondent sugcests that State and
Congressional nominations be made l>y pri-j
inary election, lie 'ays that we have practi- j
K eally ruled the negro out of polities, and that
Hinder the present mode of nominating State;
I oilicers and Congressmen the mass of white I
votes are ruled out also. There would he very j
little additional trouble In nominating tlu>e
officers by primary election, especially as
nearly all the counties make their county i
nominations in that way already. As a Democratic
nomination is to all intents and pur-|
poses an election in this State, the suggestion '
is a good one, and we would like to t>ee it
adopted. In no other way can the mas* of t
voters have any voice in the selection of their i
State officers and Congressmen. As the mat- j
ter now stands, three hundred and eighteen
men practically elect tLc .state otiieers. uu-y
may, and sometimes do, selcct men whose!
candidacy has never been considered hy tlie
masses at all, as they did in 1SS2. Were the
State ollicers nominated by primary election,
the people would select tne men 01 tneiri
choice. It must come to this finally, or else
there will be a split in the party. White men !
will not always submit ;to be rujed by an!
oligarchy, whether that oligarchy be pi nna-!
lient or only temporary, whether it be stood or
bad. They will insist on selecting their own |
rulers; the only way to select them is to nominate
them; and the only way they can nom.
inate them is by primary election, With our!
1--. rw.Mi.intlniv it is not uractifia
ilClt'n^CJlVVUO r - ? ,
ble to have a ''scrub race" lor State officers, or |
for Congressmen, at the general election. The
only way to have such race is by primary
election. These considerations have brought j
about primary elections for nominating coun-j
ty officers. The same considerations apply!
with equal force in reference to State and
Congressional nominations.
What say the people?
Tlie acreage in melons along the South Car- !
olina Railway. Augusta 1? vision, will be
largely increased this season. The returns, so,
1'ir received, show that four thousand acres;
will be planted between Allien and Midway.'
2so fear i* entertained that the Northern and :
Western markets will be glutted. ' i

FOREIGN LAND ASSOCIATIONS.
The l'vils ^Yliicli arc Sure to Overtake
(Iiosp wliit (iive JIorlsaRCN.
Jlarnwcll People.
Our excliaeges show that t lie foreign land
!o;ui associations are extending their operations
and finding fresh fields in all parts of
the state. It is not our business hut we cannot
imagine by what process of reasoning any
man, who has so far not accumulated enough
to enable him to paddle his own canoe, can
hope to be able to pay so much for so little.
It may be true that the associations may not
Want the lands pledged as security, but they
will want their money when it becomes
duc.and their debtors need not expect, for
they will not receive, that mercy which home
creditors are accustomed to extend. It docs
not matter to the land owner who buys his
inn cniiKiiiniiv will mirchase it. and lie
will become a hewer of wood and ;i drawer ol
water for its more fortunate possessor. Capital
throughout tin* United States is seeking
Investment in real estate and with lack of
profit in other directions such investments
will rapidly increase. A wealthy Pennsylvania;)
of our acquaintance, who is interested
in many ventures, says that the rental of his
real estate in this county pays a better interests
than his stocks in mines and manufactures
and, in the near future, there will lie
a boom in Harnwcll lands equal to that which
has transformed Florida from a wilderness to
a paradise. These land loan associations are,
in our deliberate opinion, good things to let
iilone, and if correctly informed the people of
Kansas and other States, from which they
have withdrawn, are of the same painful belief.
Hut we will not have long to wait before
we lliul out whether or not we are correct.
Over seventy tracts of land in this county
have been mortgaged to them and when they
fall due. idles* we are greatly mistaken, the
niii storv df jhttTroian horse will be again dc

The South needs capital, home made capital
and economy mid arithmetic are often
more valuable than the almighty dollar, the

The quaint poem, of the title page of which
Ihe above is a transcript, appeared nearly
half a century earlier than Paradise Lost, ant
it is Intrinsically probable that it would have
fallen under the eye of Milton; in any ca?e
there are striking points of resemblance between
the two poems, and many have supposed
.Milton's immortal work to have been
inspired by the former. Only two copies ol
tlie work are known to bfc in existence previous
to the issue of the present edition, one
being in the British Museum, the other in the
Iiodlcian Library, Oxford. The copy in the
British Museum was purchased at a noted
sale of old books in lSltt, by llaron l'olland,
who notes upon a blank leaf that it (tost him
111. 17.?. (if/., (about Slln.00). Some years ago a
nf Vlrtrinln. Mr. J. L. Pevton.
sprung l'rom the oici English family of that
name, made nn accurate transcript of the
copy in the British museum, preserving even
tiie quaint spelling, punctuation, capita! i/.iliir,
and italicizing of the original. This present.
edition is printed without alteration.
Apart from its presumed connection, with
I'nmdisr Lost, the poem has very considerable
merits of its own, and is in every way a
literary euriousity. John 13. Alden, Publisher,

J 1S47 by Messrs. Geo. Sinclair and James Anderson
?n?l purchased by me in tlie year 1856, and
from that lime till now carried on successfully by
myself. My friends and customers will bear wituess
ol'the large "and stupendous jobs executed by me. It
was at tny works where tlie larsest and almost only
' job of its class ever executed in this city was done
viz: iht- making of the pipes for the City Water
Works in the year 18&S. In ttic branch of BELL
FOUNDING, I can say that I huve made the largest
bells ever cast In the State, such us tbu bell for the
' City Hull in Columbia.
1 My stock of patterns for ARCHITECTURAL
WORK COLUMNS for Store fronts, is larpe and
^ various, and in RAILINGS for Balconies, Gardens.
' and Cemeteries I have the largest variety and most
' modern patterns; manv of these are patented and I
have pnrMiasen cue nvnc lor mis state.
In the machine line I can furnish my pntr-.ns with
STEAM ENGINES and COILEKS of unv size and
description. My CIliCULAIi SAW MILLS have
carried off the prize at ev? ry State Fair held in this
city, and in their construction I have taken pains to
' combine simplicity with the most useful modern improvements,
and may flatter myself that my ClliOULAR
SAW MILLS find favor with every sawyer who
understands his business.
The many orders I am steadily receiving for SUGAR
CANE MILLS prove that the public appreciate
the mills of my make, and s-> it is with mr GEARI
NO for HOUSE POWERS. GIN WHEELS, GRIST
MILLS and other MACHINERY.
I have the manufacturing rijrht cf many PATENTS
such as castings for ROCK COTTON AND HAY
PRESS and three or four different FEED CUTTRS
and other implements.
I will be pleased to send my circulars to any applicant,
together with price list or estimate. My prices
r are moderate, and I assure the public that th?*y are
lower than those of Northern' manufactures, and that
my work will compare favorably with that ol any other
maker. Address
