The Republican party in this locality having temporal ity gone out of business, there was little to be done, and there was no , excitement of any kind, as far as we have i heard. Arrangements had been made for the recep- , tion of telegraphic reports from all sections oI the country, and W. O. Bradley, Esq., had been appointed by general consent as receiver of despatches, but owing to sickness in his family, he could not be absent Irom home, and he asked J. C. Klugh, Esq., to act for him. His office was crowded with persons from town and country In the early part of the > night, and all were anxious to bear the news. J The greatest interest was centered on New York. 1 The first dispatch was received ooiweon sev- ( en and eight o'clock, and from that timeou toward twelve o'clock the Interest Increased. < The minority of the news seekers adjourned , about that time. Some thought that Cleveland's prospects of carrying New York were j good while others were despondent Without ] New York Democratic victory is deemed out of the question. Considerable anxiety was manifested about i Indiana and everything pertaining to that State was listened to with great interest, but 1 when news from North Carolina or Virginia i came, there was evident impatience. The Southern 8tates are deemed all right, any 1 way, and as an addition to the Southern < new* It was ureed that the teleerranhlc head quarters be atonce put In telegraphlccommunicatlon with Elberton, Ga., and wo might i add with Cedar Springs, too, where Cleveland 1b reported to be a long way ahead of Harrl- ( ton. 1 Telegraph Operator Coogler was busy at his post during the night, and his office was { thronged until after midnight with those who i ought to hear the messages fresh from the ' clicker. j At first, we thought to publish each separate i telegram as It was received, and bad some of J them put In type, but owing to the meagerneas, and the laok of completeness, we have 7 concluded to wait for more definite accounts. ^ Whl|e as a matter of fact, the telegrams were fresh and interesting at the time as they ? followed eaoh other at intervals of about half J hoar, yet when a new one came, the old oue had lost much ot Its Interest, and for this rea- * son'we have felt at a loss to know exactly y what Is best for us to do. We have concluded, i however, to give but little space this morning c to the election, trusting that our readers will , not charge us with error of Judgment. t Election Notes. \ Democrats claim Connecticut.

Nicholson assisted him. fine audience was out on Sabbath. The typo last week made us say "Sunday" n rcfercnce to the dedication of the Presbyerian church.

For ourselves we ilnd no warrant i f In K/?rlnt.nri> A rumor !ia.~> reached here of the death at Norton's Mills of Mrs. Vlsanslca. This estinable lady was a native of Duo West. If the eport bo true the worthy husband will have he full sympathy of this place. On dit that the "Indian Doctor" that lives lear Honea Path, and "that can cure any distase'' was robbed last week of 3900, by three icgroes. Two of these were caught and one scaped. The marriage of Mr. Sibley of Augusta to diss Cora Haddon of Due West, was an ele;ant and happy occasion. It took placc Vedncsday morning and the party left on lown train for Augusta. The most elegant ind costly presents that has ever been given it a wedding in Due West, were exhibited on his occasion. We bad.the promise of a compete list with the names of thegcuerous doners, but have not received it at the present vritlug. The reception occurred the night icfore. In the absenco of her Piistor the lie v. ,V. M. Grier, I). D., performed the beautiful :eremony in chaste, elegant, captivating lan:uage, and "all'went merry as a marriage ieli." Quite a large crowd attended Abbeville mm Hno Wuct on Snlprfnv. On last Wednesday occurred the happy narriageof Mr. Ed Hagan to Miss Mattie Crawford of Due West.

We ire glad to say he is convalescing. Miss Mary Henry of this plaeo was quietly narried on last Thursday to Mr. Will Marktain of Tallapoosa Ga. The bridal couple left ,hat evening on the up train. Dr. Grier tied he nuptial knot. The marriage was a surprise to the town, not a whisper proceeding it. Mr. J. B. Bonner luid a sudden attack last veek of indigestion and was carried from the >llice. He was soon relieved however. Cards have been received here of the marriage of the Rev. Mr. Browne of the Baptist hurcli of this place to a lady of North Caroina. The first authentic intelligence of the )ceasion was gleaned from the l'ress and Hauler on its arrival Thursday evening. The iapny couple will arrive home in about two veeks. They take their honey-moon abroad. Last Sabbath was a great occasion in the listory of Bethlehem. The Union Sabbath School meeting occurred on that date. The iccaslon was opened with an anthem by the ichools: "Oh how lovely is Ziou." Mr. Wil-j le Todd the Superintendent then made an ntroductory speech, followed by a song, a ihapter in the Bible and prayer by Mr. M. B. 3rier. Prof, llood was now introduced by the Jhairman, and made and made an excellent iddress, for the speaker has large experience n Sabbath School worK, and is the worthy mergetlc Superintendent of the Due SVest Jabbath School. Mr. John McGee, Superinendent of the Baptist Sabbath School here ,vas the next speaker, and in a most interestng way made a happy address, pleasing 'very one.

Mr. Asa Howie the father of the Sabbath school work at Gilgal was Invited to address ;he meeting, which ho did to the delight ol ;very one, aud was much complimented by Prol. Hood. Mr. M. B.

Several accessions were nade to the church during the meeting.

Visanska, bail been killed by 1>< 1 in; thrown from tin* bridge across Long Can creek at Morton's Mill, distant live ml lex fror Abbeville. sjoon vehicles and men on horseback wor hurrying to the place of tlic aceiden Numbers of people assembled at the corrien while others watched front the doors of thel homes to catch the. first glimpse of the ri turning procession. ]>ut as none of the men hers of the family wore at home, except Mi Visanska and Mr. Rosenborg, it was detoi mined to tako tiie body on to Green wooc where other members of the family an happy little children were waiting?not 1 sadness, but in joyous anticipation: not in th shadow of death, but iu the brightness an joyousness of life?for the arrival of tho font est of fond mothers. Tho sudden and unexpected death, togelhe with the circumstances leading up to the fatt moment are peculiarly sad. When diphtberi broke out in town Mr. and Mrs. Visansk witli the parental instinct or desire to protec their tender ofl'spring, sent their youn children to relatives in Greenwood, in th hope tha*. they misrht escape tho dangers c the dreaded disease which at that time pron Ised to become an epidemic among tliechi dren of Abbeville. Arrangements had bee; made previously for a visit to her children oi Sunday, and during tho week she had prepai ed eatables and other little evidences or tf kens of a mother's atTeetion for her littl children.

On Sunday morning?as bright and ?s bom; tiful a day as was ever seen?she and tier ok est son, Mr. Julius M. Visanska, set out 01 the journey !n a buggy from Abbeville t Greenwood, a distance of fourteen miles. A1 went well until they arrived at the bridge 01 Long Cane creek, which la spanned by a co\ ered bridge at Morton's Mill. The npproacl to it Is a hundred and twenty feet of trestl work, ranging in height from flvetotwclv feetnbove the sand. No baiustorsor side tim beis iiad been put upon the floor of the tret tling to prevent accidents and the work ha been left in this unfinished condition, whlcl has resulted in tho death of a good woman whilo on an nflecttonato faintly the gloorj and shadow of death rests most painfully am most sadly. With the natural instinct of caution borr to woman, when they arrived at the bridge she proposed to her son that she get out of th i'Ujrgy and walk across it, but lie, young am sell-reliant, saw no danger, and with never i doubt in his own mind, felt that ho was abl | to cross the bridge in perfect satety. II thought, too, as she was comfortably wrapped that she would he loss comfortable if she iaii aside her wraps, when the Journey should b< resumed on the other side of tho stream Her fears quieted as to the danger, and h 'confident of (perfect safety, they drove 01 to the bridge from which she was so soon t< go down to death. The trestle worl being nearly crossed in tarcty. tliei liorse became frightened, it is suppos ed, at what ho naw through the opei spaces between the planks of the lloo of the trestle or the bridge, and as he wa about to enter the covered bridge, began back Ing. As the buggy was being backed, Mr. VI sans lea noticing the uneasiness of his mother said, In an assuring way: "Why, mother, believe you are frightened. Don't be afraid.' Before she could answer or lie could realizi the immimcnt danger,one of the hind wheel! of the buggy was otl the bridge, between tlx second and third bcncbcs, and she and Mr Visanska, the horso and buggy, were al instantly thrown to the earth below?ti (lis tance of about ten feet. Mrs. Visanska, it ii supposed, fell upon tlio plank, which was ly ing there, and dislocatad her ncck. beat) was instantaneous. She never spoke, or over fgave the slightest evidence of life after tin fall. Mr. Visanska and the horso fell on tin sand over which the trestle had beer built, and neither were hurt. Mr. Visanski was iustautly on his leet, and at once paid al teution to his motbi-r. The lilnd wheelsof the buggy partedwith thi fore wheels at tbo fifth wheel, fi? they fel from the brldjio. The horse rose aud ran on< or two hundred yards with the front wheels and stopped. No one saw the accident except those imine diatcly intcresled, but a colored preache: named Klugh whom they had met near th< foot of the bridge, heard Mr. Visanska halloa and looking hack saw that they had fallen of l.n I..1.1.,.. unim, Itunlr I <?,< < ??,, extent cif tho Injuries which had been sustain Cvi, he rode hurriedly to the homo oi Mr. \V Oscar Cromer, about half mile distant, nut there reported thai some one had fallen of the bridge, and was badly hurt, suggesting a the same time thai some one go immediately to their relief. Mr. Cromer was not at th< house at the time, and Mrs. Cromer asked tin negro to hurry baek and give any help possl ble, saying that she would immediately sent for Mr. Cromer, who was out a little way otl on the fhrm. The negro preacher replied that he hadn" time to go back, as he was on his way to 111 an 'appintinent.'' After dispatching a messenger for Mr. C'ro mer, Mrs. Cromer gathered up such re storativep as she had about the house, anc started oft' in great haste to give any relic possible. Rut the restoratives were useless Life was extinct. Death was present. Neigh bors were shocked and horrified. A devote< and ever attentive son was overwhelmed ir grief, while tho lifeless !orm of a loving ant afl'ectlonato moiher lay on the sands of tin stream. Mr. Cromer was soon at tho place of tho ac cident, and so was Mr. William 12. Cox. Mr Cox mounted the horse, which had been thi cause of all the trouble, anu hastened to tin Village for Dr. Hill and Dr. Mabry, and tber Imparted the heartrending information to tin bereaved husband. Dr. Kellar was also sen for. Tho news soon spread over town. A1 were shocked and pained at tho sudden death of one so much beloved. Numbers imine dlately left for the scene of the occurrence Before the towns people had arrived at th( bridpi! Mr. Cromer improvised a litter, upoi j which lie put a feather bed, and be and other tenderly lifted the body ?nd laid it ou tin bed. They then earried her to his house where the body lay until the lienrseand coflii from Abbeville arrived. Mr. and Mrs. (Vomer gladly and cheerfully did all that was In their power for the reliel solace.or accommodation of tho gricf-strlcker people. A groat company of citizens from th< village, and as many of Mr. Cromer's neigh bors as had heard of the accident. attests their friendly interest by their presence a Mr. Cromer's, as well as by their kindly word of sympathy. After the hearse arrived, and when the dea< wife and mother, and the weeping husbain and sons resumed In saddest gloom the jour ucy, which had been undertaken with sucl bright and cheerful anticipations, the greatei number of the asscmbledjpeoplo went to tlu-i rcsncetivo homes. Kind friends were sen ahead to break the news to those whose Jov Ing hearts and gentle hands had set a rici dinner tabic for her coming, and who hud fo hours watched with painful anxiety, the eov cied visit from the beloved mother and sister The hearse in charge of Mr. J. W. Sign, ju nior, moved off at three o'clock in the after noon, followed by a plueton, containing tin husband, Mr. Garrison A. Visansku, the son Mr. Julius M. Visanska, and the son-in-law Mr. Philip Rosenberg, while a number u IriemJs In vehicles joined them. Arriviuj at the bridge from which Mr. Visanska am his mother had fallen some six hours pre viously, the horses were detached from tin liearse and other vehicles, when they wen drawn over by the hands of the piissengcrs and the horses were led over by the drivers. The arrival of the corpse at the lions-oof Mr Abe Rosenberg in Greenwood presented t scene of grief and sorrow which is scldon seen, and which was enough to move a bear of stone. Mrs. Abe Rosenberg is a sister o Mrs. Visanska, and she had the yourij daughters of the deceased in her charge, dur ing their absence from Abbeville on nccoun of diphtheria at home. The citizens of Greenwood manifested tin kindest feelings for the aliliclcd Jamily, run vouchsafed every attention that good neigh bors could oiler. Mrs. Visanska was taken to Columbia 01 Monday morning for bnrial In the Jewlsl cemetery in thai city. In accordance witl i Jewish custom in cases of sudden death, sh< was buried in the apparel in which she died without any change whatever. Believing, ai they do. that when the Great Judge shall pasi upon the deeds of the sous of men, thoy wil appear In the clothing in which they sudden ly died, and that such fact will he an oxtenua tiug circumstance in the case of any unfor t;iven sin. they bury their dead in the cloth ing in which they may have died. True to tlietrauitionsand history of the I'ol ish Jews who have never been known tore nounce the faitli of Israel, she was an ortho dox Jewess of the truest and best type. Ii simple faith she devoutly prayed to the God of Isaac and of Jacob, and in her life she sougiit to obey the commands as delivered ti Moses and the prophets. While true to tlu Jewish faith, yet she respected and loved those who were true and sincere in the pruc ticc of other religions. While linn in the faith of her lathers, yet she was generous t<: those whose religious faith was not as hei own; and, as she expressed herself toa neigli boron Friday before her death, she tried to live cacli day as though it was her last day on earth. Mrs. Visanska was the daughter of Moses Win stock, of Charleston, and was the motner o'f a large family of children, all of whom are noted for tboir affection for each other,as well as for their devotion and tendtruess for an idolized mother. In her death the light has gone out of what was, until this week, as happy a household, as could anywhere be found. * V 5 : - ' :i ->* - N : Mi*. lMiillip Rosenberg, daughter of dec til, was iu Charleston at ine timeoi uerue having gone there with her children.

It is now too Jatc to ond sow oats with any reasonable hope of tbelr jnco withstanding the severe freezes which nrc nds- likely to occur, except below tl:e parallol ol 'err., 31 or32 degrees. In t.he plney woodsandcoast nost reeion November is a good time to sow. rery We have beforo stated that we do not advise pub- farmers generally In the cotton belt to sow nil- wheat. While it is well to diversify crops, and >?ld as nearly as practicable lo produce the supplies needed for home consumption, yet there ro i? Is a limit in diversifying beyond which It will y be not be found expedient to go. Almost withnty. ont exception cverj' farmer In the South icns should prociuce an int- ioou uucuHsury 101 in? 1110 stock, a full supply of bacon, lard, milk, but1 for ter, beef, mutton, fruits and vegetables. These ln a items are mentioned because tho soil andcli s ?f mate are perfectly well adapted to their protors ductlon, and they are or should be considered Id indispensable to comfortable living. But our the conditions are not so gencrallyndapted to the acre production of wheat, although flour Is oneol the the articles of prime desire, and inostfarmers urts thoreforo And It inexpedient to plant this ,. crop. J ?y There are localities on most farms In the rom '<hiu country," and sorno oven bolow the m^t-hey amorphic formation, where wheat is about a? (Foct. certain and reliable a crop as it Is anywhere, the These localities are usually found on the high J' est points, the soil being gray or chocolate ' the a?,j underlaid by a good stiff or gravely clay. ir Old land, moderately fertilized, is better for wheat than strong, loamy, fresh soli. After all the efforts to procure a reliable variety ol wheat nono has been found to give better results than the old "blue stem" or "purple straw." Land that has been in cotton or oth> er clean culture crop is the best. Ammoniated manure gives the best results, cotton seed having long bren a standby for wheat or ING other small grain, though rather too rich in ammonia. A better manure is one that may be composted of cotton seed meal and acid phosphate with katnit ln the proportion of Meal 800 pounds K,K Acid phosphate 1.000 pounds ms Kainlt 200 pounds oo1 Total 2,000 pounds >tl?- Sow about tho time the first killiug frost usually occurs.

It is most natural to turn at once to cot01 i tonltself asa material out of which to make i a covering for the crop. A very good bagging !;,,, is made by the Resendale Manufacturing Co", \n of West Point, Ga., and by tho Lane Mills, of rnm Now Orleans, samples of which we have ?i? seon ;ln'^ heartily approve. Wc incline, atnn however, to the opinion that some less costly iiif! m:iterial than coLton may be found. Pine hv Rtraw> saw palmetto, and the bark of the cotfSr ton ?^ara plant are promising materials. We p"k have seen a sample of pine straw bagging ??l; made by tho Acmc Manufacturing Co., of ini<i Wilmington, N. C, It is very similar In appearance to the ordinary iute bagging, the hn?i warp and tilling being a little large, and the ?"u weight per yard about two and a half pounds. P1* It is not so strong as the jute, but is strong jf. enough for all reasonable demands. Of course insf a substitute for jute bagging, in oj-der to belusl come a permanent substitute, must be furnished at the same or a less price. Farmers cns are not going to permanently use a more Ur? costly material in order to anticipate future I tn combines and trusts; they will use the mate' , ? al that will in the longruncost them the least [v^10 1- - th* , j i. ir> wuu ciiuusu 10 ? &?- ?

ICUt Sl'GAIJ CANE. ir a on- During a rocennt extensive trip through y> Northern Georgia and Alabarae we were lmitel pressed with the evidences of a returning I of popularity of the sorghum cro:>. .So long as nus- wo were actively engaged in * larming this rotn crop always found a welcome piace with other J is crops, although wo were far enough south to Her successfully prow annual crops of the tropical the or truo sugar cane. The unfortunate prejuhad dice against sorghum that was the result'of ,(.xt I'1" crude appliances for rendering it into will syrup during the civil war is rapidly giving u-nv ns ih(> imnnivi'd mills and evaporators vis- nro becoming more common. 'The expedient mcnts In making sorghum-cn no sugar, conjdie ducted under the auspices of the Washington Department of Agriculture, have developed a tin. new process for concentrating the Juice and lays the final separation of the sugar, which gives lent promise of finally establishing the making was of sorghum sugar on a firm and lasting basis. 0fu'l The sugar cane crop in the Gulf States Is uuiurc usually good this year, ami the season is now ,eL.n at. hand for converting It llito syrup.

The first severe scorching of the cane tops by frost is lVe- the signal to commence the harvest. Theeeed ver cane should ffrst be attended to. By the way, one we see no rcason whj' the farmers in the IYUj- southern parts of the eastern Gulf States might not adopt the practice that prevails in wftS Louisiana of planting thccanc tops at time harbV vesting. It. has been observed by all caneleal Krowers that the immature, upper joints of tl'1L. the cane usually make the earliest and most I jS vigorous shoots when bedded and planted In ?rv the customary way.

If this Wo ! Plan will succeed in other Stales its adoption would result in finite a saving of cane other I . wise devoted for planting. Who has hud cx' poricnce on this point, and will some i.ouis" t iana cane planter give in detail his prevailing lipi. practice ? loee WIXTKK rs COMING ianwns vVe liave been writing for agricultural tlicr jamais for many years and have usually rom "preached as we have practiced."

If a farmer has more live stock ;ays j than his barns and stables will feed and sheihe i ?t>r niwi k<vn in i?ooil condition throiurh the Hug | winter, lot him resoive to enlarge the stables and increase the store of food or sell the unpio' at, vided-for surplus stock, or enough of them to Af- enable him to house and feed the remainder, ilch There is no greater folly than to feud corn and an- hay and other forage to keep up the heat of the nnimal life when half the quanity of food this with dry, warm quarters will accomplish the find same object.
