Hammeti took dinner in Ninety-Six on last Wednesday on his way to Augusta. ViceFresident Kirk and Treasurer Pope accompanied him thither. The Anti-Railroad men it is said have raised toOO on paper for the purpose of making some lawyer happy. This amount would more thau pay all the taxes of those who contribute towards this fund, It is a pity men will bo so deluded. They will not only lose this amount but have tlicir taxes to pay bosides, but it they can stand It we can. Mr. W. C. McUowan was In town a few days ago on business. Mr. McGownn is a special favorite at Ninety-Six. He Is a fine lawyer and has our best wishes for his success in life. M- ^Awan a atrpnf. ft Milt ill OUT tOWIl one day lately.

The upland corn Is looking well where it has been worked, bottoms a failure. Col. Alex Stuart, senior member of the firm of Stuart <? Co., contractors on the Atlantic, Greenville and Western Railway has been in town several days. Col. 1. T. Calhoun, candidate for the Legislature was abound to see us last week. Col. Calhoun came amongst us believing this was his weakest point, but was convinced before he left that he hnd many friends in NinetySix township. We aresati&lled that he will! get a fine vote here. Arrangements for our Fair are progressing.' The Executive Committee are doing every-) thing in their power to make the enterprise a success. Col. B. F. Cray ton, of Anderson, was down on a short visit a few days back. The Colonel ,,-C trnrmout Hf? is fllWOYS welcome at Ninety-Six, aud if he will run for some State office wc will support hint with a great deal of ple?sure. Mra. HerriDg, of Alabama, daughter of our esteemed friend Mr. J. J. Cooper Is with her parents on a short visit.

We hope by that time to have a number of applications to place before the patrons. Don't fail to turn out this Is an all important meeting. The Anti-Railroad party is still holding its meetings at the Old Fort. But we venture to say that before they ever get atrial of their case the railroad will bo graded and ready for the Iron. The Fairfield Regulators are again at their work. I understand several letters have been received In our community. They evidently have their eyes on some one. They generally do their work at night, and it is always sharp 6liortarid decisive. The colored folks had a picnic at Old Fort last Saturday, proceeds to pay for band instruments. The liitio "East Ends" are under many obligations to Mr. E. S. Addison for a basket of nice luscious peaches. They were fine and we all enjoyed them very much. Mr. Addison has a fine orchard and It Is a pleasure to him to dispense his blessings amongst those who are not so fortuuate. Major Jeff. Powers, of Coronaca, was down on a business trip last week. The Major is a splendid Tanner, industrious and persevering and deserves success. Mr. James L.Helferroan has a fine milk cow ! for sale. Mr. H. R.

He has the best wishes of all who know-him. Dr. G. H. WaddeH at present Supervisor of Registration lor Abbeville county is a candidate for legislative honors. The Doctor though not a farmer In tire true sense of the word, has always farmed in connection with his practice. He is in every way qualified to represent our county, and if elected Abbeville county will not have cause to regret it. Tbougn not a farmer candidate, he lias been brought out by the farmers, and we trust all good men who have the Interest of the county at heart will supi>ort him. We notice that our old friend McSweeney has taken unto himself a wife. Weareglad of It. He, like a great many old bachelor editors, is too good a man to always live alone. I His Ninety-Six friends congratulate him. Now is the time to rub up and fix up your | ?Tock.

They are useful and | pretty ornaments to a nice animal. Persons who desire to enter horses In the trotting or pacing contests will please add less R. L. Pratt, who lias charge of that department. lie will give all the information desired. We hope the people cf Abbeville will make an issue on prohibition. Let us see how the people stana, and how the candidates stand. A man who Is afraid to come to the front and tell his views on this or any other subject Is not the man we want, fie is not worthy of the suirrages of a free people. We hope the farmers will push their movementand see that none but farmer candidates arc elected to office. We do not mean by tills that they should ostracise any class, hut let them be the judges as to who they will vote for, be he lawyer, mechanic or any thing else. They should demand and take nothing less than the lion's share. All or none. Master Hazel Smith and Muster Ed. Rogers arc otf on a visit to Master Archie Smith's, at j Chappell's Depot. Mr. John Watson who has been at Atlanta | attending commercial college, has graduated and returned. Col. James II. Rice of our town, Is a candidate for Superintendent of Education. Air.

Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Sanders gave tiie young folks a nice party on last Friday night. They danced to the wee small hours. It was a most enjoyable occasion. EAST END. COKESBUBY CLIPPINGS.

The masterly series of papers 011 "Great American Cities" in Harper'x Magazine is continued 111 the August issue by Kdinund Klrke's contribution on Detroit, which Is the leading article of a rich number. The history of "The City of the .Strait" Is cleverly outlined from the time before Iicndrlk Hudson set foot on Manhattan Island, when the Hn rolls pointed oiu lis sua: u? ?.- ruii gate-way to "the vast seas of sweet water." The first settlement by the adventurous Frenchman Cadillac, the romantic frontier life of its early period, the revolutionary scencs clustering about this Western centre of the struggle for freedom, the surprising flood of Yankee lnimigration which was opened by the Erie canal, and its astounding growth ever since, are all deftly described. 15ut the city of to-day is tlie main subject, and its characteristics in enterprise, society/ architecture, and culture are well treated. A j lively part of tiie article is tlie two pages givlen to"M Quad," the DetroitI Free l'rvsx hurnor| 1st, whose portrait is one of the numerous illustrations. | Have yon seen the hat racks, fowl rack, dnart measures, cloths lines, on the >t. counter at E.

Troy Curries OfT the Honors or tlic Occasion anil Propose* to Keep Ttaein. Troy, r. C., July 19,3RS0. Tho Troy base ball club left home on Monday, July 5th, to tnke part in tlie grand base ball tournament at Laurens, where the championship of the Piedmont section was to be played for by five of the strongest teams in tippet- Carolina, viz: Laurens. Antloeh, Troy, Union and Greenville. Our club represented in Laurens, was as follows: G. C. Hrrtdley, Manager, Jul. M. Vlsauska, Scorer, and the players were: Kennedy, 1 b. Wiseman, c. Harkness, p. Necl, 3 b. | Abercrornbie, S. s? I Fuss, 2 b. I Smart, 1. f. Chiles, r. f. McDuvid. c. f. Thi. firci friitito nn flirt nrnrmmmc was a hard fought ono between Troy and Union on Tuesday morning, July Oil). The splendid work of the battery of tho Troy club won, the following Ik the score by innings: Union 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0?3 Troy 3 0 114 0 0 0 0-0 Tbe Trojans next tackled the tearh from Antioch on Wednesday morning. The game was delayed on account of tbe Antioch pitcher not having arrived, and our boys were compelled to play in the warmest part of the day. Ncel and Harkncss were the battery for Troy while Langford and Johnson looked to that interest for Anliooh. Our boys. seemed to have bad an easy job on hana, though tho Antioch team did some fine flcldiDg. Tho score by innings is: Troy 0 4 3 3 1 1 8 0 *-15 Antioch 11002102 0-7 Up to this time Troy had won each game she playedi while Laurens had done the same thing, having defeated Greenville and Union. As Troy and Laurens tied, the championship now vested between these two clubs. The mo*t exciting game Was now at hand. Kennedy and Hmarl, two of Troy's best players wore in bed with fever, which placed the Trojans in a bad situation, as tliey had no substitutes with them. It was thought at ono time that there wonld be no game, but the Troy elub finally consented to borrow two men in place of those on the sick list. Through the courtesy of the captains ol the t7Dlon and Greenville nines one man was loaned the Troy team from each club. The LnUrens club had been holding their best pitcher in reserve for this game. Troy went on the diamond without two of their best players. The grand sfand was tilled with the beauty and chivalry of Laurens and adjoining towns, every one eager to see the game begin. Promptly at5 o'clock on Thursday nfietnoon. The game was called by umpire J. T. Johnson, of Laurens, with Troy at the bat, who soon took the field with a goose egg to her credit. Laurens followed suit. In the second Inning however, the Trojans chalked up four runs to their credit, while the Laurens boys were still sorely puzzled over Harkness' down-andout curves. The work of the Troy battery was never better and can only be excelled by a real good, professional team. In the fifth inning Troy had another picnic in the way of scoring four more runs, while Laurens succeeded in making her first score. The entire game was well piayed on both sides. The following is the score by innings: Troy 04U04UVU *?o Laurens 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 *?3 The following Is an extract from an account of the tournament contained in the Laurciuvitl eHerald: "Thursday evening, Laurens and Troy played for the Piedmont championship. It was a stubborn game, and each club did almost professional pluying: and while It Is generally the custom for the defeated Club to put up excuses, we believe our club honesily acknowledges that tbey were fairly and honestly beaten. So our Troy friends are entitled to wear the belt, and until somel Club can muster as strong, sf not a stronger battery than Troy, she will cod tluue to wear It." Too much cannot be said In praise of the courtesy and generous hospitality of the Lau rensvllle Base Rail Asssoclatlou and the citizens of I.aureus. Our boys were elegantly entertained, and will always remember this trip as one of the most enjoyable they havp overtaken. Laurens may well be proud of the grand succcss of this, her llrst base ball touruameut. V. STATE BOABD OF EQUALIZATION. Condensed Report of the Work of the Recent Session in Columbia.

Of all the surprises to which the reading public has been treated by Mr. Alden's surprising Utcrart/ Revolution, perhaps the most remark able Is the hist. Two of the choicest anil most famous books In modern literature, Washington Irving's ' TheSketch Book" and Knickerbocker's History of New York," are Just published in stylo worthy of this most widely celebrated and universally honored of American authors. The two books together form one of the nine volumes of his works also published. The type Is large, leaded, beautiful; the two volumes bounuln one com prise GiHi pages; the binding Is half morocco, marbled edges. The only other edition in the market that at all compares with this or rivals it, is advertised by the publisher at ?3.00 per volume. | Mr. Alden's price when sold in bets of nine volumes, Is a little less than 51.00 per volume. He now oilers this single specimen volume , until September l, lSsii, for the price (if it can i be called a price) of o0 cents, by mail, postage : paid. Tills offer Is without restriction or eondiI Hon ; If there an* a hundred thousand, or half I | n million of those who take pleasure In the | ! works of Washington Irving, who want the j ' volume, ho says he will till their orders as fast as his printers and binders can turn j ; them out. It you want to compieic your sei. itncr you ' have received tills volume,you can, of course I I do so by paying the additional price for the ! set. The object of this extraordinary "Coup! I Ii'Ktnt*' is of course, advertising; cxcept fori this consideration the price would be rid leu-! j lous and ruinous.

I Gut your job printing done at the Press and I lianmr ullke. Keeping Oar Lnnds. Southern Cultivator. T rend In the Cultivator and otlicr af^riculturn I journals ft great many articles tbese dnys about manures and fertilizers, hut I take " ""-l iUrtf mnnnrlnff ti tlfl fpi'Hl \f.m uie griiumi uiiik ing amount to but little unless wo prepare the land first for manure by first restoring to the land humus ; land without humus I consider too far exhausted to bo beneHttej by mnnurlng, unless we can afford to cove - the ground broadcast with vegetable marures, w.ilch we cannot afford to do because the beginning must be by turning under vegetable growth witii plow annually, such as clover, vines, weeds, ifrass, stalks and all, and everything that will decay and rot and inakct hutnus in tho land. This done, then we can use a small quantity of lot manure and ferti Izers to some advantage. But using a iimall amoun t of manure on exhausted soils that are wit nout humus to retain moisture does atoutas much good as to treat a sick man with remedies Inadequate to reach the dis t*USC. IVUUIUU^t;iU|'iiaim otablc mutter Is manuring itself, and in the best manuring we tan do, for it benefits the crip', nnd such manuring is permanent il? regularly kept up. We see farms that have been annually heavily and expcnslvelj' fertilized with commercial fertilisers and cotton sc2d. arid they arc getting more exhausted every year. I account for it in this way, that theland lacks liumus, and without li iniuf manures do but little pood. It may benefit the crops if the land is kept moist with regular rains, but if dry It don't even benefit the cr:>ps. But my plan is to enrich the Iftnd by re-storing humus, and If you benefit the land your crops will be benefitted; this munt be dene with the plow by plowing under v< getabl e matter. Turn out a part of your flelt s every year to rest, nnd sow down a part In clover and small grains, nnd when you harvest leave a long stubble to turn under; also turn under corn nnd cotton stalks and grass, and ali litter on the land, burn up nothing, and by so doing, in a few years you will seo a jreat improvement In your lands, and lot manures wlllgoa great way, as light manuring will will go a great wa,v? as light manuring will count if yon have humus In the land, and I may add the very first step to be taken is to prevent your fields from washing by terracing and ditching. Ho the first and important sludy and duty of the fermef la to keep his fielcl from washing, and next to restoro humus; to his lands; if this is done, manuring becomes less expensive and more profl able, and your farm will Improve In Its production and value. It will take labor to do this, but the cost of the labor will be much less and more remunerative than what It has coiit for commercial fertilizers. Since the wai the great mistake made by our farmers was depending too mirch on money doing what we should and could have done ourselves with the labor we had at our command. We thought It was easier to pay cut money for many things than to have those tilings i,v crivincr it. o'nr immediate at (entlon; we would rather buy our meat than to take the trouble to raise It; bo wlib com, fertilizers and many oilier thines. I have netfer pursued that plan, and If I have never made such brag cotton crops as o .hera;, I have made more money than Ihey have done by not having to buy meat, corn fertilizers and other thinps. Farming Is a seif-sustalning business, and not made so, it cannot be made successlul; that .is assured by long experience. John H. Di;nt. Essex Hogs In (he South. Southern CullicaUrr. In the cecums of the Southern Cultivate' you have hnd many articles of great Interest to your readers on the Bubject of swine, and In addition thereto I would like to give n few facts about tho Essex of the: present daj', since they have increased In size and otherwise greatly improved by English and American breeders. I began experimenting with the Essex about the year 1866, and have made careful selections of females from yenr to year, and avoided close breeding by obtaining the best males to be found in England and America, until my herd now equalK any in the world in size of the breeding stejcl:. In fecundity It probably exceeds that of any other herd. In September three of my matured sows farrowed, bringing43 pigii?sixteen,fourteen and thirteen, respectively. Of :hese, tliirty-two arc living nnd growing ir.oldly, the mothers belne capital nurses. I have found the Essex the most profitable of aay of the improved breeds; they are free from disease, are easy keepers, and mature early. My herd lifts clover, and the gleanings of the grain fields, and a good range in a wood pasture; this carries them through the spring and summer and fall months. Those ititcnded for bacon are given the run of the pea-! ftel<U>, and are made ready for the knife with Ihroctofour bushels of corn per head. The Essex can be fnltencd at nny age; the only objection to them is their becoming too fat to be depended on as reliable breeders when feci tge usual supply of food allowed to other swine. Those Intended for breeder sho.ild be allowed to get their own living on grass or In a woods range aud started to breed at an early ape. My killing hogs are ready for the knifo at eighteen to twenty months old, and ca n readily be made to weigh i50 to .100 poundB not at a cost of two to threo cents per pound. The Essex, as a rule, are not carnivorous. I havo had sows attain the age of four or tlvn yearii. and yet during the twenty-seven yearn chat I l?avc bred the Essex, I have not seen or beard of a chicken or Inmb eater. The white breeds of mvlnc nro unsulted to a hot climate on acrtAiint nf Ihft mancp. The Poland China and the Jersey broils are large and mature late; they are admirably adapted to lire Western country, with lowpriced corn, but not profitable In a cotton region. The Rerkshires, by many jjersons at the South, are highly valued; buton my farm I found them to be carnivorous, lamb and chicken eaters, and disposed to bcjointi wild when allowed to run ou a large range. Very many of them also were affected with lung troubles, Indicated by a hacking cough. Many breeders of the Essex attribute the improvoincDt In the Berkshire to a crass ol the Essex made by the English breeders. In the management of my herd for s?vers.l years, I have used kerosene oil liberally, both externally and internally, to extermisiate the parasites of the skin and the Intestinal worms to which all the breeds of swlue are so liable in the Southern climate. Atlanta, Ga. Richard Pkters. Treating Hog: Cholera. "The swine-breeders cast ot Illinois furnish us a great den I of amusement by their discussion of hog cholera," says the Iowa. Home stead, ". some 01 uicra arc m me worm kimsc, others In the pumpkin seed stage, others in the stage of salt and a?shes or burnt cum. All agree that, there is a remedy for hog cl olera. Wiih some the cause is worms, with others it is tilth, with others inbreediug; fioine have faith in the pumpkin seeds as a cure, others In sail and ashes, others in burnt corn, others in a variety of feed, etc. Ho long ns they do not have the genuine article of swine plague, it is not worth while to nrgue with them; after they have It, which will probably be tills year, there will be no need of argument." A press telegram from Milwaukee. Wis., dated May 22, says: State Veterinarian Atkinson has prepared a circular on the treatment of hog cholera, which he will have printed and muiled to the health officers of the various towns in the Statu next week. The circular says in brief: If the disease has prevailed in your locality the urgent necessity Ish thorough cleansing and disinfection. All old straw piles, manure heaps, and similar substances should be disposed of by plowing under, burning or storing in a occluded place. The pens should be thoroughly cleansed by washing with a solution of carbolic acid in the proportion of five pounds to a barrel of water, or copperas, twenty-four pounds to the same quantity of wuter. Burning sulphur in the penR with the donrs closed also has a wholesome effect. After disinfection the doors and windows should be thrown open and light and air freely admit*..-1 A II hflfwaati Knnlthv iru. -'\ll tUlllUIUIIIUlHlIU UWIUCU I. . J and diseased herds should be at once suspended. Visitinjr Infected premises out of curirwity or for the purpose of gaining information has in several instance* cost our farmers dearly, for unfortunately on their return home they not only carried with them some knowledge of the symptoms of the disease, but about their clothes and on their soiled shoes lurked the germs ready to perform their deadly work. The carcasses of diseased hogs should be burled deeply- ahd not bo sold for rendering. Running streams should be avoided, as the disease frequently spreads along tbclr courses. More AI?ont Burr Clover. Southern Cultivator. Having received many letters of Inquiry ns to the merits of burr clover, I desire to answer thronifh your valuable Journal, the Southern Cultivator. (1.) It will grow on our oldest lands, though, like everything else, the richer the soil the more luxuriant the growth. (2.) If sown In July or August It will wlthxtiLndniii coldest winters. Wtien all other grasses are dead it remains green and flourishing (? ) After once set it will reseed itself for years without any more cultivation, malting a permanent winter pasture. (-1.) Dies clown in June to reappear in September, (i.) All kind of stock become very fond of It; Is fine for fowls, chickens and turkeys eating it all winter, (f>.) Cannot be exterminated by grazing If stock arc taken ofl' it when in bloom, say the first of May. (7.) I have a lot planted six years ago, plowed once since, which Is now nearly four foct high, as thickly malted as you ever saw red clover. One has but to have it to appreciate the value of It. Those who lmve had it for years speak the highest in its pralso. (8.) It will prove to be one of the best and cheapest renovators of old worn lands we can have, as it will grow well on the hardest surface. (0.) It is easily exterminated when desired by plowing any time before the seed matures. (It).) The- seeds arc inclosed In a burr about t he size of a buckshot. (11) Prepare the grounds as you would ft ?r t nrn i nc cmv tlin hnrrc tlinn rnllor over to pack them down. (12.) The past wintor was very severe, Icllllug all the small j:rnin, nevertheless this clover stood the test and was then green mid flourishing. J. V/. M. ? ?' * ? i 51?.

We do not think so great honor has been done South Carolina in the appointment of Ex-Governor Thompson as Assistant Secretary of the national treasury. South Carolinians have as much right to such positions In the national government as the people of any other of the States. But we feel gratified, chosen another of our State's sons for an important office. Appointments like those of Trenholm and Thompson will make our people feel mortj like they have some lot in the governtneot of the hatloh,and so more like they are a part of it; and after a while the bayonets which pinned us back into the Union may be entirely drawn out, the wounds may hral, and the scars disappear. Literary Notice. An interesting biographical sketch of Joe Jefferson, tbe most beloved, if not the most famous, of American actors, appears in the August Harper's. The writer, William Winter, traces his dramatic talent through a long line of illustrious ancestors who followed the samo profession, and shows how well the player of "Rip Van Winkle" deserves the astonishing success which enables him to gratify his fondness for painting on his Louisiana estate, w|th only a small exercise of bis stage talents to Interrupt his study of the other art. The excellent portrait of Mr. Jefferson as "Hob Acres,'" by J. W. Alexander, which excited unusual attention in the Academy exhibition two years ago. accompanies the article as the froutispiece to this number of the Magazine. g*? ???* BIRTHS. At Phrenlx, S.
