He unloads the wagons by means of an exhaust inn. a very simple but Ingenious contrivance. It is a great pity but what we bad a dozen such men as George Anderson. It wk had Ninety-Six dirt would rapidly Increase tn value. Col. Cothran held 011 to the Judgeship and was elected to Congress, but we very much iiustion the success of any other iispirant to otlieo under like circ umstances, and the man who tbJnKs it an easy matter will tlnd himself mistaken before the next primary election closer.

TRIBUTE OF AFFECTION TO MAJOR ZEIGLER. A Kile-1.on;; Friend Would Extol Hi* Nobility of Noiil, Ills Oenerosity, His High Character, nnd His Man ly Worth. The news of the untimely and horrible death of the greatly lamented Mai. M. G. Zelgier which occurred last Thursday week ago was a great shock and sorrow to his many friends in this section. The writer's acquaintance with him began away back in the 4i?'s when we were school boys together, at time honored old Cokesbury. My aged mother, now living with me unites with me, in bearing testimony to his grvat moral worth, and many manly virtues, even as a hnv. The old saving "in the boy you behold the raun" was exemplified In film. Ho had the confidence and respoct of his instructors and of iny father and mother with whom bo boarded and the undivided friendship of his associates. I might (III tUo interval between then and now, in giving an outline of his life and character, but as this article is intended merely as a slight tribute to his memory, leaving to an abler pen thau mine, the mournnil task, of writing up his nobility of soul, his generosity una liberally to all applicants for aid, and iilr- general fitness for all the relation!* of life, but voico tlio feeling of the entire county in saying that Abbevilie 1ms lost one of her best citizens?his place cannot bo filled and the entire county will unite in oxteudlng its heartfelt sympathy to the alllicted family In their their hour of great bereavement.

As yet we have had but bittlo communication with and no freights have been received from Augusta since the long-to-be-remembered high water. For sometime now meat has been very 8 scarce in our town, and this has forced the possum hunters to be a little permature in beginning their fall and winter crusade. ? It seems that this will be the year of primaries. We have already had three, and the probabilities are very strong that there will * be two more. Our young folk were in force riding out last a Thursday evening in double and single buggies, on horseback, and last and least oame n two little boys on a tricicle bringing up the rear.
