The smallest crop of cotton sine* 18t>8 brought more money than any crop that did not exceed it by a mil lion and a half balee. This is a fact that our farmers ought to consider, and draw from it legitimate and need ed lessons. ' j A. & K? E. li. Freight Charges. . From along the line of the AuguB ta & Knoxville Rail Road, complaints reach ns of excessive freight charges. ?Foy .instance,'it is. alleged the Rail Road has advanced the freight charg ea on cotton to 25 cents per hundred pounds-bacon and other things ic proportion. The consequence his been that cotton is being shipped by .-" the Savannah. River on boats and fl;te, .' at 70 arid 75 cents per bale; either that way or hauled by wagons. The plantations of Winchester MoD<uiel, L. P. Harmon and John Morgan alone . will ?hip 250 bales of cotton by the River. ,From all we can learn, this advance in freights will prove a sLort eghted policy for the Road. But let os hear the other side. The State Fair. The Fair of the South Carolir aAg 'V.?^Jhiraland Mechanical Society, to ba held on the 10th, 1.1th, 12th cr.d loth days of November, bids air lo b3 more attractive than ever before, and this will be the 17th anniversary.

The ft. R. Election ir. Aiken. Tue friends of the Cumberland Gap Rail Road were very much surprised at the result of the recett eitctiou in Aiken. 133 majority against veting the tax scotches, if it does not kill, the present scheme for building this road. The present schema we say, for witbj a different scheme. and with a never tiring atd always pushing Pres ident and Boaid of Directcrs,*this President Hagood has cailed a meet ing of the Stockholders, to be held at Aiken on the-4th November, at which the annual election bf officer? will take place. Let the friends of tie Red elect new men, and go to work with renewed vim. It cannot be tos sible that the failure of Aiken io vote a tax of $40,000 will forever kill this grand trunk line of 400 miles length If Charleston promised to take $500, 000 of bond? provided all the town ships along the line would vote a 5 per cent, tax on the then taxable property, cannot the $40,000 expect ed fr?>m Aiken be made up by sub scription? Or cannot Charleston be induced to waive the condition as tn Aiken? A MITCHELL would build the road, Aiken to the contrary notwithstand ing. And we hope a Mitchell will arise for the occasion and, a6 the New York Sun said cn a memorable occa sion : " We may bo happy yet." Tornado Prediction-Saving Lift and Property! NEW YOBK, October 14, '85 EPITOB ADVEETISER: The atten tion of Congress is called to the fact that some of the terrible lose of life and property due to tornadoes can bg averted. In 1882, Prof. T. B. Maui y, asserted what was thon the fact that tie prediction .if a tornado was ft triumph yet to bo attained by thc science of meteorology. In lesa thai: two years from that time some pre dictions of tornadoes were successfully made by Lieutenant John P. Finley of the Signal Service. The percent age of verified predictions io s'eadily increased by knowledge of the aver age conditions preceding each s?rier of tornadoes, thns making the pre dictions more definite and local with each succeeding year. Already thc "predictions of safety for the day ar* effective. Of 3228 predictiona un favorable to tornadoes, made in 188.4 3201 were verifield, and of 3S pre . dictions that tornadoes would occur ?ede in April and June, ?8S4, 18 were verified. Of 19 predictions that tornado^ would occur, made in June and July, 1885, 15 were generally . verifed. When tornadoes were pre .dieted,- in no instance did . violent storms fail to occur, either hurricanes, tornadoes, or hail. The failure of some predictions is doubtless'due to inaccurate and insuf ficient-reports from sparsely settled regions. While* it .is admitted that nothing like absolute control of these phenomena has been attained, yet "the above figures clearly justify the *"p'f??etfce 'b'f tornado signals either of | ^^afeiy'ior?anger at every telegraph .8tfttion'in Kansas, Nebraska, Missou ri; Illinois, Jowa,.. Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Greargiaand North Caro lina, especially during April, May, Jone, July, August and September. It La hoped that Congress will direct the Signal Service to submit estimates of the expense necessary to establish such a system of signals. Thc cost would be a few thousand dollars for flagB or colored discs, and for tele graph service. WILLIAM A. EDDY. Tornado Reporter, Signal Service, U. S.

The Abbeville Press and Banner publishes a list of about thirty pro gressive "farmers who have terraced their lands and aro pleased with the result. The Press and Barnier says : " The old plan of ditching and ruin ing our upland must give way to the more \ radical plan of caving our soil by terracing. The ?ow, wet land should be ditched, but the high, roll ing lands mu?t be terraced, if we should prevent them washing into gullies. An open ditch is a recepta cle for the cream of the earth, while a terrace forms a basin for the pre servation cf the richest and best of the soil. For the Advertiser. Simmons Ridge Samaritan Baptii Association. To the Ediior of Mic Advertiser:'* The interest manifeste'd by you i the publication of i eligi?os matter induces me to write a few brief not? of the Simmons Ridge Samaritan Ba] fist Association. This Association ; composed of churchea mainly froi Edgefield County. The last meetin was its ninth annual session, and : now comprises thirty-six churchei The last meeting was at Willow Sprin Church, Thursday, Oct. 15th, inst lasting four daya. The Moderatoi Rev. Eli Key, opened the meetin with the usual ceremonies. Afte which the Introductory Sermon wa preached by the Rev. Ned. Sta;ki the oldest Minister in the field, A the close of the sermon, which wa very much appreciated by all preBem the Moderator-announced the houa in order for businees. But before prc ceeding to the. regular businees of th Association, R?V. J. C. ?urket, Pat tor of the Willow Spring Church roee and in a very feeling and chris tianlike manner, extended a cordie welcome to the delegates and breth ren, assuring them that they wer welcome in every sense of the word and said that they were not in a lani of strangers, but among christiai brethren and sisters, who could am did feel for them. Further aesurinj them that no pains would be sparet to make their short stay a pleaaan one. And indeed it was. Space wil not allow a full description ol thu boa pitalities of the Willow Spring breth ren and sisters, Suffice it tosay. tha the people of that community havi always been noted lor their generosi ly and christian benevolence. The next businees in order was thi enrollment oi delegates and churche and the reading ot letters. Quite i large number ol delegates were pres er.t at the opening of thc meeting though many of them reside in thi most distant part of the County, am even some trom other Counties. I was quite evident from the statistics report .-if letters that many of thi churches had made targe accession during the Associational year, and i great many of these accessions, too were made lrom Sunday School Schol are. Right here, Mr. Editor, I maj digress a little from the main sabjec of this letter. In speaking' of ?bun day school scholars, it is to be regret ted that many of the churches ar? wanting in that peculiar interest thal ought to be taken in Sunday Schoo werk. Those who see and feel thc great necessity of building up thif branch of the christian church, have been left too often unaided in theil efforts to make it a permanent and living institution. Even too by pa rents who are professing chiiatians Many seem to think that ii is of sec ondary importance in church matters, and therefore make no special tlforte to keep their children in attendance or aid in support of the echool. Il (seems to be a difficult matter for some to understand tbat the school is the church, or rather an indispensable part of the church, that ought to be fostered and supported by the church, Nuw when we think that the:e little ones who are now Sunday school schol' ari, in a lew years will have taker our place both in the church un'i Sunday-BC? .ol, hov? important ther that their tittle mind* be properlj trained and stored with Biblical trutbf ?or their noble calling. Returning to the subject of thif letter. With a few excep'ions^the Matters of considerable import wen brought before the body, and, as ? matter of course, caused brethren t< differ in their views and opinions but any delegate was privileged tc dircuss and vote on alleubjects befort any final disposition could be mad? !>1 them. Many important, subjects Fiich as Home and Foreign M?SB?OOB TI mperance "and Education, were tak en up and discuesed fully and 1'reelv by tte delegates and other visitiug brethren. We were glad to see our white brelhren in the meeting. They may be assured thut their presence and aid are a: ways acceptable and very much Appreciated in all ol our meetings. We mention one of distinction, Dr. D C. Tompkins, who visited the meeting two or three times during the session. We were delighted with his presence and pleased with his remarks. Hope ihe doctor will meet us again. There were three special sermon6 pr> ached during the session : Intro ductory, Doctrinal and Missionary. Doctrinal eermon Friday evening, by Rev. F. Dorn. Missionary sermon on Sunday, by Rev. R. C. Bracy. The Aesociation adjourned the fol lowing Sunday, to meet with the Ridge Hill Church Thursday before the third Lord's day iu Oct., 1886.' - R. A. GREEN, Clerk. Oct, 2Gtb, 1885. Exp?rimental Farms. It has been suggested thut the State Department of Agi ?cul ture can prop erly and profi'\hly undi:rt;ike naeriee of ixperimen'.s to test practically the best medea o? cultivating tobceco in .Smth Carolin?, and to determine w's.-it C?KSS ul tobacco is adapted to the variouH districts nf the State. At thc. name time it will be practicable to gangs the value ul the crop in money, MK compared with cot J os and grain. Thi .> can be ( fleeted bj the Departm*'nt at very little expense. We have nr. idea that it is ni cc-sea ry or desirable to establish . ex peri menta) larme which ebtfll be owned or rented by the Department, and eu perin tended by persons whom it em ploy. There ie a simpler and cheap er p!?:n thar. thie. The Department Can select {llantera who have a repu tation 1er practical an weli as scien tific farming, and invite one of these in each of the diff?rent. sections of the State, or even in every county, to plant an acre of land in tobacco and an acre in cotton and grain. The De partment can have the soil analyzed at the different stations, BO that the proper fertilizers can be applied. At small expense the department can fur nish the fertilizers and seed, and pre scribe, if considered necessary, the manner of cultivation. The important conditione are that the planters who undertake the experiments Bhall be men of intelligence and knowledge, who will torn to good account the in formation given (hem, and report care fully the result of their action. The three acres cultivated at each station should, ii possible, be side by side, .io that those visiting the station can readily inspect the crops. At the end of the Bea80n, and when the crops have been marketed, the comparative value will be known and much valua ble informatit n will have been ob tained. It is probable that ten experimental stations would be sufficient; and we : doubt that the 'expense to the Agri cultural Department would exceed , two or three thousand dollars. This is f . tr?ling pnra in comparison with l! e A vantages which; cari be expected o ie. de i ved from the plan. ItwiU riot ie'difficult to limit the outlay to"thf .mount designated, but, if the mfani an bc cbt.ir:ed, it will probably le onnd udvinhhie to defray the whole spense of cultivating the experiment ,1 aires, and ia this event the Agri uiluial Department can reimburse tself from the proceeds of'the ex lerimental crops, giving any surplus, .i'ter the payment of the expenses, to he planters themselves in return tor heir pains in superintending the eta ions. It ia to be hoped that the Agricul ural Department will consider the natter favorably. It ie as important, n our opinion, as any project which he Department has adopted'; and it s not much to ask that about a tenth ?art of the revenues of the ?gricul ural Department shall be laid out, in he way deecribed, for the collection ii practical information acd the prop nation of knowledge among the farm irs of South Carolina.-News anti 'Jourier.
