The following statement is sent by the Augusta Savings Institution toits cus tomers as a report for tho fiscal year : With the thirtieth day of April, closed our second year's business, and our ef forts haye proved highly successful, as our depositors haye largely increased, and wo feel satisfaction in knowing that the Institution has been of great benefit to the community. While we have en deavored to accommodate, our first object has been security, and the result is -jye (|0"n'ot show one dollar iu bad debts-we have not charged one cent from profit into loss, and our assets have appreciated -n the investment, so that every deposit nth accrued mterest could be returned pon notice. During the period of vio lent political apprehension, some bf the :anagement were anxious to be relieved rom tho responsibility for th? lature, there knowing the success of tho Insti ution; were desirous of converting it n to a capital stock company, and a petU ion to that effect was forwarded for leg lation. Happily, the period of sus ense is passed, all fear or civil commo ron: is over, and we will continue our usiness under the samo charter and egnlations as heretofore. For a time, wing to scarcity of investments, we referred rather to reduce than to iu rease our deposits, but hereafter we hall offer greater inducements, and feel notifiable in increasing our business to he demands which have been; made upon s.

In this Coun ty there are a number of children named Wado Hampton-some named Wade straight, and others with the Hampton mixed up in their family names. Do you wantali, or just the Wade Hamp tons?

Some f-K>l has been imposing on you. .How ever, as I have got nothing particular to do, I'll help you all I can.. I'lLtake the trouble to count all the babies named for Hampton. But you didn't say babies, you said namesakes. If it's to count all the game roosters, fancy dogs, horse colts, improved bull calves, rats, and all other varmints so named, I decline the job in favor of some other prominent man, who has less to do, tor it would take about the balance of his days.

Yours Truly, Another from Edgefield-not very com ' plimentary : Dear Cousin : Your kind favor just to hand, and contents perused with' much concern by b ?th myself and wifo. I am so olten reminded," my dear Jim. of the words of your pood old father in regard to yourself: "That boy will never turn out to be much." (Onch ?) What benefit do you expect to derive from such infor mation should you be ever so fortunate in obtaining it? You had better get at something moro practical. Tho very idea is absurd! If, however, in your wild undertaking, you should, at any time, be thrown in Gov. Hamptou's coin pa^', and have an opportunity, it might not be amiss for you tp speak a good word for m<?. You could bring my name in casually as being fitted for most any County office-and all that-and as one being too modest and retiring to ever bring himself forward, a'though having the entire confidence of the people. You can be as adroit and circumspect as yon please. I wouldn't have it to get out around'hero that I am fishing for an of fice for the world.

I am begin ning With the'younc; of thc gerne-: homo, and find the name much inore frequent than I had any idea of. I sometimes meet up with amusing incidents as well as unpleasant roceptions. On more than one occasion little strangers have come into the world (in certain localities) the Lord knows how-that is, having no par ticular father ; and invariably they are called I). H., or nicknamed that by tho boys in thc neighborhood. Upon inqui ry, I have'been informed that this nick name is used rather generally through out tho State for that class of children. There is a great pr?pensitj' ' among'all classes tov name domestic animals aud poultry. On almost every plantation I find fine young roosters named Hamp ton, and other fine ones named Butler or Gary, and where there is an unusually smart and promising little fellow, he is generally named Johnny Sheppard. Affectionately yours, - These, Messrs. Editors, are but a few of the hundreds of letters of inquiry dec., first received. I had to write to each ope again that it was only name? sakes among tho 3*oung of the genu-t homo that I desired.

Richmond, "Va., has recently visited Greenville, and he writes thus of the Seminary and the. University : .." This.has been a remarkably prosper ous session of the Sedunary. A better class of young ministers has seldom been gathered at any institution, and their in ?ueuce unon thc churches must bc potent for good. "The Furman University is also doing quite well. Its financial condition is'bet ter than thatof any Baptist college South, with a single exception. With a large and well arranged college building, and forty-five acres of laud on the suburbs ul this rapidly growing city, and two huu dred thousand dollars in bonds and sub scriptions, Furman isjn com fortable cir cumstances, and will, we hope, at no dis tant day, be amply endowed. It has au able corps of experienced and diligent in structors. If Drs. Furman and Reynolds, and Professors Judson, Harrisand Smith, cannot do good work in the lecture room, who can?" The Habits of Hayes. There is a 'larger force of clerks at tho White. House,-: under Presidpnt 'Hayes,'" than ever before. There 10 (he private" secretary, Mr. Rogers, and his assistant, Mr. Pind?n. Mr. Webb Hayes is confi dential secretary, and Col. (Jorbiu is military secretary. The latter hus gener al charge of the mail, and receives and opens all letters and newspapers. Maj. Sniffin, who was appointed a paymaster by Grant, remains at thc White House, and there are three other clerks and two stenographers. This makes a personal stan" of nearly a dozen persons, where there have been less than half the number here tofore. People who have occasion to write to the President will be pleased to hear that it is the desire of Mr. Hayes to send an answer to every letter he receives, no matter what its purport. There is a larg; amount of mail matter received at the White House every day which does not properly 1 elate to the public business. A thousand people write to the President about their own private concerns and wonder that they do not get an answer, if no answer comes. Heretofore all such letters have been thrown into the waste basket. But President. Hayes directs.that a respectful reply be sent to every letter, however irrelevant. This requires a good deal of clerical work. Then'President Hayes wants the newspapers carefully read, and his secretaries have begun a series of scrap-books for preserving such newspaper publications as are of interest at the White House. One or two clerks are kept employed at this business alone. The' new administration takes a great .'nany papers, and seems to aim to keep web informed concerning the feeling cf the country.- Washington Letter. Shoes and Hats Verv Cheap.

The War in Europe Is now a settled face, and itmay assume a magnitude hitherto unsurpassed in modern times for destruction of lives and property. For every soldier in the field thc world has ?ive'less producer bf food, and already a groat vacuum has been created and ari almost unprecedent ed demand for food has been mude on tho Continent We are feeling the result by the sudden rise in all kinds bf bread stuffs. With all this storing us in the face, it behooves our farming communi ty to increase the acreage of corn, peas, potatoes, and every species of grain that will make up an abundant supply of food for man and beast. By using Solu blo Pacific Guano under com, planted after grain ls harvested, it will be made to mature before tho frost eau overtake, it. It is now an admitted fact that tho uso of Soluble Pacific Guano not only" pa,"s largely by increasing the yield, but j it pushes thc crop to maturity several weeks before it can possibly do without its use. For corn and potatoes Soluble Pacific Guano is specially adapted. By experiment of B. LeSure, Knoxville, Ga, for 1S70, under direction of the Com missioner of Agriculture of Georgia, tho use of 90 lbs. Soluble Pacific per aero in creased the yield of cotton from 350 lbs. to 770 lbs. Its use trebled the yield of corn and quadrupled the yield of pota toes. Good supply kept at all Depots. Call on Local Agents. Price $01.75, or 475 lbs. Middling,Cotton, delivered. JOHN H.
