DlTprsify Crops.
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 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.

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

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

WE ASK no one to buy who is not satisfied in QUALITY, PRICE,
FIT and STYLE, and this makes us careful to have the righi thing, at the
