The price of cotton has held ud well this week, and yesterday evening it had an upward tendency, ranging from 9 1-4 to 'J 1-2 cents. ThiB has been a busy week with our people. .. and alt seem abundantly pleased. Many people have surplus money, which they are spending liberally In our stores, nn<l others of a more trugal mind, are either paying old debts, or laying by something for a rainy day. The demand for cotton bagging Is fully supplied, we believe, and, it is possible that some men have on band more than they really want Perhaps fifteen, or possibly twenty per cent of the receipts for the last few days has been covered in cotton. This community has not lost much in the way of cotton bagging, as many fanners re ruoea losasiain uie iohh wuicu n.3 use umo, sarlly Incurred, or else they found it too difficult to get tbe light bagging. Many farmers hereabout rauke as much as thlrty 500 pound bales. To pack thirty such bales In cotton bagging means tbe loss of about sixteen pounds to tbe bale, or a total loss of one bale In thirty. Very ?ew farmers are able to see bow they are to get back that bale, after It Is lost, and as every bale couuts?in a majority of instances but few bales will bo thrown away about here. As yet, no man has explained how the Jost bale is to be regained. The disposition, therefore, on the part ol mostinen, Is to get as much as possible out 01 every bale, and we presume that some of our friends will see, even with the cotlou bagging on band, that it would be economy to use the cotton for something else than covering tlieir cotton. During excitement farmers may be led to disregard small matters, but when It comes to packing a bale ol cotton they are, as a rute anxious to get out of it, all that there Is In It, and when they know that they lose about sixteeu pounds of lint by packing a 500 pound bale in light bagging, we are inclined to the opinion tbata majority of thera will not submit to tbe loss. We have beard of one tenant, to whom her landlord bad furnished cotton bagging. She was indignant, and said she didu't intend to use "Democrat DUKS'llg. one muut mco.-of it, however, and bought jute for bcr bule. The G., C. & W. Railroad. The surveyors on this road have finished their work between Clinton and tlie Savannah river, and tbey have gone to Athens to finish the work on that Rectlon. Mr. Sumucl Seal, of this vintage, Is with the corps. The grading of this railroad, inside the / town of Chester will be finished In a few days. The laying of crosstles nnd Iron will .begin in earnest by the fifteenth of November and will be pushed from that time to the day of Its t-ompletlon. c-'- * The contractors on that end of the line arc expected to move their force of hands and implements to this section within forty days from now. Major Temple Is expected In Abbeville at an early day to complete the bargain and purchase of the rights of way across such lauds ns belong to persons who huve not already ceded the right. Wo presume, If any work Is done this side of Greenwood, that our people need have no doubt that the road will bu built. With the grading finished to Clinton, and with a large force of hands at work on the *,>' flay miles between Clinton nnd the Silvan ?uuh, there need be no uneasiness as to the future of the road. The track layers will lie at \ ? Clinton by the time the grading Ik finished to & the Savannah, and the track layers will then coine right along on this section section of the Hue. The company are expected to take charge o! the new road from Newberry to Columbia which will be a feeder to the great through* line. The Cumberland Gap road, it Is presumed, will bo alBo a feeder to the Georgia, Carolina apd Northern road. The friends of the Cumberland Gap road expect the Georgia, Carolina and Noth&rn road, to build the road from f Abbeville to Edgefield and take charge of the whole line. By the construction of the roud to Abbeville, in connection with the G., C. & N., and the South Carolina road, Charleston would have a nearer route to Atlanta, and Abbeville would then be on a through line from Charleston to the great West. Y-The depot and track of the new road, it ifi " thought will be on the land of Messrs. A. M. Hill 4 Sons, at Qr near the colored graveyard. BALE DAY NOTES. Official and Other Sales--Great Activity In BumIiicms Circle*?lMcnty or Money. In Abbeville last Sale Day was one of the busied days of the year. The merchants and their clerks were busy early and late, and the day's work fooled up large sales and splendid collections. The good crops and the high prices which they command have brought prosperity to the business interests ol the town, and all hands are well pleased at the outlook. Very little property was exposed to sale by the public officers, but whatever went under the auctioneer's hammer brought good prices. Except the unusual large number of plain drunk*, everything passed otf pleasantly and profitably. We make note of the sales as follows : Sales by the Master: 838 acres, the Homestead of Richard Duncan, bounded by lands of J. M. Pruitt. A. J. Cllnkscales, J.

He was notleably, energetic at the last communion occusion he ever attended, in koIiijj out Into the country and inviting and entreating men to come to the Saviour. Or. Miller lived a pure life.

Calhoun, and Aliss Saille Calhoun, and Aliss Cootlic Calhoun, were called. When lie whs taken sick, lie said thai, he was ready to no whenever called upon ; that he had already lived long licyond the allotted Mine; that he was tired, and wanted to go. For ten days or two weeks before the end came, lie declined to take the usual stimulants and refreshments. During the last lew years of Ills life his enfeebled condition required the moderate use of stimulants, hut his food was always of the plainest and simplest kind. When one of the vital organs hecome impaired, and lie found it necessary to go to bed he seemed lo lose hope, and, broken inspirit, he ceased entirely to take either stiniulanlsursolid food, anil could only be prevailed upon at long intervals to take liquid nourishment. Although he was assuied that years were yet. In store lor him, if he would take tl:.* prescribed medicine and the necessary food, yet he refused asutllclciicy ol either, for perhaps ten days before the end came. It was evident to him and liift fri- lids that he was slowly sinking into his grave, yet. lie prescrvcl h is composure and met the last enemy in the lull poscssion of his mental faculties, conscious that tlie end was at hand, Mr J.

The body lay In the collin until next morning, when perhaps a hundred of Ills faithful old tenants and former slaves came "to view his lace. All seemed deeply affected and many felt that they had lost their best friend. One of lhc patriarchs, while in the yard, lined a hymn which all Joined in singing. Then these faithful old people were led in prayer by one of their number. They acted as pall bearers, and placed the j cointi in (lie nenrse. w nen n uiuviu tlie railroad depot, some seventy-live followed It to the station, although rain was lulling at the time. Mr. Pat Calhoun made a speech to them in recognition of his gratitude for this manifestation of their atJ'cction for his deceased relative, and told thein if it were possible lor him to do so, that lie would take all of them in his car to Pendleton, where the burial was to take place. IIUKIED 11ESIDK HIS SISTEtt. At nine o'clock Saturday morning the special train moved irom Hester station. Arriving at Anderson, a special train | on the IJlue Kidge road awaited them, when, alter the transfer was made, the party proceeded to I'endlelon. The body was taken to the Episcopal church, when Ilev. ilr. Gadsden read the funeral services. The deceased was then burled heside his sister, .Mrs. John C. Calhoun In the l'endleton cemetery. WHO THE CALHOUXS AHE, AND WIIEKE THEY CAME KKO.U. The Calhouns were originally from Donegal Ireland. The llrst family that came to America, settled in West Virginia in 1 T-'i-'S. where a lew of their decendants are still living. lu 1753 lour brothers and one sister and their mother moved from West Virginia, anil settled in Abbeville District, S. C. The four brothers were William, Kzekicl, John, and Patrick. All settled near each other, about twelve miles West of Abbeville, and eight miles East of Vienna. For many years t he neighborhood was called Calhouns Mills, Catharine Calhoun, mwthcrof the lour brothers, mid lrreut urand-mother of Jauies Ed ward Calhoun, vuik massacred by tlie Indians, with twenty-two others, near Long (Jane, February 1st, 17C0. Ezekiel Calhoun, one of the lour brothers, was Mr. James Edward Calhoun's grand-father. lie married Miss Janlo Ewing ,who had three children. His oldest son, John Ewing Calhoun married ?Mlss Florence Uousseau who, was the lather of Florida Calhoun, John Ewing Calhoun and James Edward Calhoun. Floridc married her cousin, John C. Calhoun. John Ewing Calhoun married Martha Davis who was the father of our townsmen Mr. E. B. Calhoun, James Edward Calhoun married Miss, simpkins ol EdgeJield, and left no children. KCCENTIUCTriKS OF THK DECEASED. Colonel Calhoun lived almost entirely alone?except with his tenants and employed people?and lor many years, was considered an eccentric person. He never contracted any debts, nor loaned any money. He never speculated in anything, and was noted lor his economical ha hi is. He owned more hind and perhaps more water power thfln uny other man iu this county. Both sides of Savannah Kiver for miles', ineiudinu Trotter'.-.Shoals, were his. He kept intact the large landed estate which ho owneo heroic the war, and since the war, many adjoining tracts were added lo his landed posessions, and he w:ts notably the lurgesl tux-payer in .Abbeville County. Although Colonel Calliouii seldom invested his money or tuolc much Interest in public enterprises, yet lie cheerfully nave the Georgia, Carolina and Northern road, the right of wuv over his lands, wherever the company might clioo c to run it. Of lutis years lie was impressed with the value ol lils 1 mmen>>e water power, ami it may have been 011 this account, that he stive the railroad the right of way over perhaps from .seven to nine miles of his land. Colonel Calhoun never made a profession ol religion, and,us far 11S we arc informed', he sought ho spirilla! consolation in his last illness. and 110 minister of the gospel over visited him. The former slaves 011 liis lands, remained on his place as tenants since emancipation, between 111 111 and them there was a mutual attachment, lie joined the navy in his youth, and after resigning Ills commission cunio home, and [married Miss Slmpkins of iSdgetield, who died soon alter their marriage, and lw left no children. Sl'KCULATIOX.S A3 TO HIS WILL. His large estate was left by will, the exact terms of which are not known to us, but It Is reported that it was divided between his nephews. Our townsman, Mr. E. 15. Calhoun, and Messrs. Iteiijamiii Calhoun and Clarence Calhoun, of Ploridu, and iMr. Pat Calhoun, of Georgia, with the latter as executor, are supposed to inherit a tine portion ol property I roii) the deceased, lies ides the handsome ifMMu-ifs which tiie Dersons named, are sun posed to have gotten, it is understood that lie was not unmindful of tlie railhful servants who attended htm in the latter years of his life. It is said the Island in the river, sonic :WK) acres, was left to them. When lie was taken sick he sent, for Senator 1'utler and his nephew Mr. Put Calhoun of Atlanta, when his will was prepared and signed. It is reported that he expressed to Mr. Put Calhoun the desire to leave his estate to him, but that his nephew suld that lie preferred only a part, and if his wishes were complied with, that his cousins ivould receive a share. Nothing Is definitely known ns to which disposition has been made of the property, but it lias been suggested that Miss Lee, urand daughter of the Cleinson, of Agricultural? ollege fame, will inherit the mountain lands. HIS LANDS I.N' AHIJKVJLLK AND KLIIKItT. Colonial Calhoun was no doubt a rich man when his wealth is compared to the wealth of his neighbors. His lands extended for perhaps seven miles on both sides of Trotter's shoals. The exact number of acres on tin tJcorgia flile which belonged to him, is not known, but the highest estimate places it at it.nno I acres, and the lowest at about 2.0iH)?(he best! opinion placing the figures at about acres.

Young, of Florida, on our Mission work in that State carried on by him was very encouraging and the hope may be Indulged that we may ere long have a Florida Presbytery. The last motion passed by Synod was the election of Rev. John T. Chalmers as editor of the Prettbutrrlan. We think this matter is now in good shape. Dr. Robert Lathan makes a splendid clerk of Synod and Is accurate and efficient. This Synod Is admitted to lie one of the most pleasant in all respects that has ever been held. The people of Prosperity covered themselves with glory in the handsome manner in which they entertained the guests. Dr. J. U. Royd was especially gratified at t he pleasant way in which everything passed oil'. The people were unwearied In their attentions to every body. l>r. J.C. IJoyd, the United Presbyterian delegate, was especially pleased at the handsome way in which he was taken care Jof by Synod and people. 'We desire to thank Mr. II. C. Moseley and family, Hev. I'.oydaml family, Mr. Wise and Mr. Hunter and family for kindness shown. Our stopping place was the hospitable home of Mr. H. (J. Moseley, to whom we are indebted for much kindness. The town of Prosperity is a booming place, it has eleven stores and two hotels. Four churches are located in town. They arc looking for a now railroad soon, the grading Is going 011 now. Mr. H. 0. Moseley has been the pushing president of this road. His increasing business necessitates his retiring from t he position and he has just vacated theoflice. The large mercantile house of Wheeler & Moseley do a tremendous business. They have four large store rooms?two largo brick ones (Hi x 120 feet. They do a one hundred thousand dollar business yearly. The Wise Brothers are also fine business men. Other good houses we did not get acquainted with. Prosperity is a nice town to live in. It is quite a cotton market also. We ran up to Newberry to renew acquaint ances, Sl'C iuu lun u unu vihii imwuiu uuiui:stead where wo were born thirty-five years ago. It was Indeed a great privileue and pleasure. Mr. Foster Martyn who is agenial gentleman and n "good catch" for any of the girls, took his horse and buggy and rode us out to the old homestead ami pointed out all of tlie handsome village of Newberry. There were many points of interest shown us. The factory was <)Ulle Imposing in Its appearance and lias added larjrely to Newberry. We looked through the large and commodious store of Mr. Newton Martyn. These gentlemen do a large business, and it is a pleasure to trade with them. They handle cotton lamely. We took a peep into the handsome dry uoods and grocery stores of Mrs. Mower, of Newberry. This lady is one of the best financiers of our church and tsikesa great interest In it* work, and is liberal In her contributions to all of its causes. Rev E. I*. McClintock has a nice pastorate and people. Thts has in every way been one of the most pleasant trips it has been our privilege to make. We have become much better acquainted witli the brethren of t he church and have formed some friendships that we greatly esteem. May time only cement them. It. S. G. LIVELY LOCALS IN McCORMICK. Scenes and Incidents in mi<l Around the C.olden City. McCoumjck, Nov. 29,18S0. Ii!sr Tuesday.

Homo Reasons why flic Town Farmer .11 alios lloro .llonoy than I lie <'01111. Iry 1'arnioa?Tlio "4'ro|?|?or Plan** a Itiiinniis Ono In flio Landlord? Laborers should ho I'airi in 4'nsli. At tills season of tlio year somo of the subscribe to Hie /'res* find /tanner may be enstinic about for arrangements lo liave their lands cultivated for another year. Whether wo propose a practical measure or not. a little thought, on the plirt of the landowner, may develop some plan whereby he may be benefitted. The "cropper" plan seems to us to bo objectionable alike to landlord and "cropper," for the simple reason that the "cropper ' and the "renter for part of the crop," aro both required to pay higher rent, when they work Industriously. than when they loiter away their time?the "cropper" plan being little less than a premium on laziness. Having been assured of a home and rations for hlruself and family, why should the thriftless cropper work ? T* Jo nftnn i\\n flirtfHneo AP irllf* plflQC nf T\OC\ pie who make "cropper" contracts with landlords. If they are prosperous and have stock of their own, they, as a rule, prefer to retlt lor a stipulated amount. When the landlord has to furnish the land, the mules, and the feed,?for both mules and croppers?why should ho not go Just one step further, and furnish the labor? As a rule, any man who owns a farm Is more Intelligent and more able to direct a farm than the cropper. Any man with sulliclent business capacity to hold on to a large farm, will, In all probability, find it to his Interest to control It, rather than to open his purse to croppers, whom he must support, whether they worlt or not. The much-sneered-at "town farmer" seldom or never fulls to make money, and It r..ay not he easy lor the rcuder to account for the country farmer's failure to make money, except in tho methods of hiring labor. The "town farmer" hires all of his labor. The country farmer, as a rule, does much labor with his own hands. Then, why the difference In result? The town farmer hires one or two of the best "all round hands" that he can get. To this hand, or bunds, he pays monthly a liberal price In cash. In the Spring the town farmer hires extra hoe hands, and, when they are needed, he ofien hires extra plows. In the Fall of the year, extra cptton pickers j are always employed. By this method from eight to twelve bales are made to the plow. No town farmer undertakes to feed hoe hands and cotton pickers all the year, merely to get their services for a few weeks. The true fiecret of success at farming is to reduce the number of consumers. Better pay a high prlcofora month or two than to feed all year. The country farmer, like the town farmer, might find it advantageous to make arrangements to have ready money all the year round. This can bo done at the Abbeville Bank or the Greenwood Bank. With Veady money, extra boo hands may be hired In the Spring, and extra cotton picker* can be had in the Fall. No matter about the cost for tho bnsy season. It will be Infinitely less than the cost of keeping there extra hancls all the year. It Is on the extra hands that the profit or. loss is sustained. Supposing that few landowners will continue the unsatisfactory plan of "cropping" we would submit a few suggestions for consideration : 1. Make such arrangements at.the Bank as will en nbleyou to draw In monthly installments, sufficient cash to pay all laborers, dally, or weekly, or monthly, as the varying necessities demand. Then pay instantly for all labor. 2. Make a contract with one?or two? or the best "all round" hands that can be had? men who are careful of stock being ihe first and great requisite. Pay a liberal price, and pay it monthly In cash?the contract to continue only as long as it may be pleasant or profitable to both. 3. Hire all other help by the month, by the week, or by the day, whenever needed?and only when needed. Give such prices as will ensure a sufficiency of help at the right time?and pay every one the instant they work. 1. If plows and mules are needed, have no hesitancy in hiring as many as you want, and Rive such prices as will ensure the gettins of the help. 5. Plant as much cotton as can be possibly well planted. Hoc hands can be had, and should be had, at the right time, If you have the cash. 0. There Is no need to have a thought about pickiiia cotton. A good price will get that work done, and the seed will bring enough money to re-im-burse the cost. Treat kindly all families who may now bo living on your place. Let them occupy their homes free of rent, and when you need work done, give Ihcm the preference. Lend thcin your wagon to haul their wood, and make it desirable for them to stay with you, but aon t undertake to feed and clothe them. If necessary, kIv?: them contract or day Jobs for specified sums of money nnd pay them In cash for nil work. It Is only a little while that hoe hands and cotton pickers are needed. Butter pay ilouble price for one mouth than to feed and clothe tliPin for a year. The editor of this newspaper undertook once to furnish supplies to a one-horse tenant. That tenant had a large (amily, and his necessities were creat and pressing. Thinking tie was boring with a bit; augur, we examined the work, which he had done in the Spring, and, according to his own estimate, he had not earned more than one-fourth of the sum which had been advanced to him. lie had cleaned trasli off a little piece of ground, and had plowed some. This was our experience, and we didn't "advance" any more. Of one thing, we have no doubt, and that Is, thai no landowner should make a contract which would bind liini or the laborer for a siglle day after either he, or the laborer, may wish it ended. Have no enforced labor. Have no laborer who is not loyal and who does uot wish to stay. It will be found well to treat laborers not only Justly, but kindly. Our experience is, that laborers are Bensitlvo to ill-treatment, and are susceptible to any kindness or respect which may be shown to them. The landowner ottcn, without special inconvenience, finds it in his power to return a favor to the landless,and in turn, the tenant will find It often in his power to confer favor in a very substantial and lnexpen.-ive way. We repeat, make no yearly contracts. Let eaci) dny stand for itself, with liberal pay, fair treatment, and kindness, tills course will be best. Ono word mor<\ It is difficult to see now any farmer can well ilo without un agricultural paper. To a man. with a larue farm anrl much stock, such a publication is iudlspensllde. It is worLh to him a hundred times more than its cost. There are many excellent agricultural papers, any one of which are worth more than the subscription price, but we would recommend as especially valuable, tho{Southern Cultivator. It is printed in our own latitude and devoted exclusively to the discussion of farm and house-hold topics. The eminently practical monthly farm topics, which are discussed In this paper. Is taken from that paper, and is only n specimen of all that the book contains. It is truly a valuable publication. Address, floiillicrra Cultivator, Atlanta, (jo.
