Clamp, or I me West township, was in town last Monday on business. He is one of the successful young farmers of Abbeville county. He made with one horse ibis year ten bales of cotton, and all the corn and wheat that lie and his horse can eat next year. If we had many such farmers as Mr. Clamp this country would be prosperous, no matter whether we Ret any more railroads or build factories. We will thank somebody to explain why other farmers make only three or lour bales of cotton to the horse, and have to give a lien for their coru and Hour next year. This is Mr. Clamp's third year at farming. The first year he made seven bales, the second, nine, the third, ten. A Threat to Take from it* the TeniMe of Our Forefathers. A citizen of Greenwood having some claim on the land, on which the Baptist churchesMount Mortal), white, and the colored Baptist church near?were built, nailed up tnese churches, to prevent them from being used. Some persons, however, opened the doors and with the exception of threats from this citizen, the congregation have not been disturb The concrecations of said churches have the sympathies of the citizens generally, not only in the immediate neighborhood, but in the adjoining sections of the country. lilt in a Safe Place. Somebody gave Demps I'adget a severe blow on the head, yesterday evening which cut the flesh to the bone. He bled profusely, and was still bleeding when brought to I)r. Hill for surgical attention. The wound was sowed up, and the bleeding stopped. The negro hau bled until he was very much reduced. He could not tell from whom or how he got hl.? wound. The parly who brought bim to Dr. Hill found him In his wounded condition. Cotton Ginning:. The gins at Abbeville have been doing better tbis year than last year, and they will, before the season closes, gin a much larger bumber of bales than last year. The people are beginning to learn the advantage of hriugint: their cotton to town lo be chined, where the bagging cau be easily obtained and where a renUy market can be had for their seed. Mr. McMillan has ginned about 853 bales and Mr. Henry about 470 bales. Biff Male. Messrs. W. Joel Smith A Son sold last week to Messrs.

He is a prosperous merchant of Iiowuuesvllle. He comes from good old Abbeville stock, who succeeded In selling goods and making u fortune before the war.

Miss Lillik Williamson of Baltimore arrived lu town last l'hursdny to take the place of Miss Hood who returned to Baltimore 011 account of her mother's illness. Miss Williamson Is well posted in the Millinery business, having worked several seasons in Philadelphia and Baltimore. Mr. Wm. E.

Seal have each agreed to contribute 100,000 brick to the building ot the factory, and it Is said that Mr. McMillan will subscribe 200,000 brick for the same purpose. This looks like business. The clothes of Mrs. H. C. Smart, of Troy, recently took lire and Rev. H. C. Smart, her liusbaud, was severely burnt in his efforts to render her assistance. At last accounts, he was well enough to be about again. Mrs. Elizabeth Clamp, of Due West, widow of H. H. Clamp, died on the 27th October, 1887, after a lqpg illness.

" iu the old days when men were required to a fail unon natural resourcts to a great extent in tbelr devices for mechanical power, there 11 was some excuse for damming up our Hat P streams and making them pay tribute for passing through the country. In these times of steam, when an ordinary well can be made toaccompllsh as much as several of our more '< notable ponds put togotiir, there is no longer tl any paucity of power in question. a The milldam should go. Malaria is not so a scarce an article in our markets as to necessitate special means for its manufacture to P keep up the normal supply. We could get ll along very well with diminished offerings in n this line, and this perhaps Is tiio only way we 0 shall ever net along very well. Could the ghastly hosts that have succumbed c ti> the subtle influences of the mill pond, ilsc " up before us, they would, with one accord, ei point their gaunt, trim fingers at these h spreading sloughs and Warn us to flee their slimy borders. But why tlcc? Hat her raze these dams to their original* level and allow f the channels to resume their primeval course. It would be even commendable to assist na- p ture in her efforts to avoid stagnation by in- J' soring an nulntcrcepted gradation at all T points in the constant onward movement of ft our surplus water. S( Will the owners object? Very likelv. i Owners generally object. But the money us- J' ed to pay the doctors (who flourish on mala- 1' rla), and the money that would accumulate e from a moderate appraisement of the lives that would be saved, together should make a fund sufficient to satisfy the owners. If our next Legislature wants to distinguish itself by doing something really up to the w mark of high intelligence, let it take this mill , pond matter under tow and pass its ungloved hand over it, and wipe away the unnatural incongruities that mar ourstreatns. it Special Attractions Tor the I.nriien nt ine aiore 01 ^ nuc isromcrs, aouc- ii vllle, 8.

"The Jurisprudence of this subject (crimes 4 commonly supposed to be simple; but nt lie cun pursue It long without gathering *om the conflict of decisions, from the mere mining of some of them and the refinements f others, a conviction that It might well b( inipler and more reasonable.

And notwithstanding the wist uldance of the Supreme Court of the United tales in Reynolds vs. The United Slates, 0r.

'I Governor gets n salary of S3,500 a year and I other state ollicers S_',1U0 eacli, while tl: have from one to three clerks each at a sa of SI,500 per year, besides numerous eont gents. We do not advocate the reduction of I salaries of any of these ollicers as low as abc stated, but we do think the present salar should be cut down considerably and tim proportionate to tlie cost of living and 1 price of farm products; further, than thi offices should not be made sinecures to I incumbents by an array of clerks at 111 salaries.

On the 5th of October, of typhoid fever, after a brief Illness, of a few days, B. Newton Mattisoti passed calmly to his eternal home. Newton was but2G years old, and the youngest son of a widowed mother. He was a youth of more than ordinary promise, gentle and kind In his disposition, polite and manly in his bearing, and unflinching in his moral principles. A model of gentlemanly deportment, and a recognized example to all his companion. Seldom has one so younr established such a character for unswerving integrity. And seldom does tho death of so young a person produce such a profound impression upon a community. It required no eulogy at his grave to inform the community of his virtues. That they knew and appreciated him, was evinced by the large congregation of people that assempled at his funeral, to pay their last tribute of respect to his memory. Brief and unpretending as his life had been it has left an impression for good upon his companions, which we hope will bear fruit for many 1 ilavc to nnmo Wouwv oq ' *V M VW...V. uo una MVIVO?CUJCUll ir to his afflicted mother, yet there is a silver lining to the cloud, the contemplation of which brings peaceand comfort to the wounded heart, that could come from no other source. Though to her the loss is Irreparable, yet she can bear it with trangulllity under the assurance that her loss is his infinite gain, and that lie has been taken from the cares and troubles of this life, to the peaceful and eternal rest of his heavenly home.
