Mr. E. W. Whitlock, who lives near
Vaucluse but in this county, makes
from twenty-five to forty bushels of
rice every year on an acre or less, lie
has an old-fashioned mortar and pestle
with which appliances he hulls it. This
year, however, he hauled it to a rice
linier and paid one-fifth as toll for
cleaning, lie carried, at one time, ten
bushels of rough rice and got back, ai
rer pitying the toll, four bushels of

A Bad Law?
Ab Clark, colored, says he is in favor
of breaking up the chain gang law. Ile
says "de white folks is bound tu git deir
streets and roads worked, and de nig
ger will hatter do it unless de Jaw is
changeded for it taint no use ter try
ter change de nigger." And Eewis
Williams,colored, also thinks the law
should be amended so as tu allow a man
to take four hall' pints of "fus X" from
the D spensary without penalty.
No rogue e'er felt the halter draw
With good opinion of the law.
The Farmers Bank.
j The annual report of this Bank ap
pears in another column. The showing
I made is an excellent one, but in addi
tion to what appears upon the face of
[thisr?port a dividend of seven per
cent to stock holders has Deen declar
ed payable upon demand at the Cash
ier's desk. Actions speaks louder than
words, and the cold cash louder than
either. But hearken! over and above
the seven per cent dividend payible
on demand, a profit of two per cent has
been glaced to the credit of stock as
surpl is-this surplus already amount
ing, before this credit of two percent,
to $4,t'U.56.
Useful Information.
A c irrespondent g:ves the following
Mnpo tant bit, of information concern
ing ;?e care of sewing machines : Take
out ?ie screw that holds the foot plate,
re' love it,and you will be surprised at
th mount of lint accumulated there,
(?.anthe little grooves with a pen
knife, and under the whole of the plate.
The needle must be taken out before
the work is begun. You will often
lind that this is the only cause for the
machine's running hard or not carry
ing the work, and it is a little secret
that the agent-, will not tell you. I have
just cleaned mine in this way, audit
runs like a new machine.

Our Country Cousin.
"Xantippe" writes us thus of the
recent play in the Opera House :
"Our Country Cousin" at the Opera
House on Thursday evening was fairly
good. Jason was a regular meadow
sweet. The scenes shifting-the farm
kitchen-the hustling house-wife-the
haymakers-fltdd rakes-pitchforks
laborero-Dorothy and Hickory in tte
rus: ic dance. The swell drawing-room
-visit of Jason and Hickory-the dis
gust of the city relatives. The wreck
ing of the train at midnight-flight of
the conspirators-grand finale with co
tillion iu the barn-Chinese lanterns
Dorothy-Hickory-Maud Mullers
clowns-fidlers-uew mown hay and
clover.

Jtev. Sam'l Leard, the oldest minister
af the South Carolina Methodist Con
ference, died at the home of bis son H.
S. Leard in Raleigh N. C., on March
Uh. Mr. Lear.1 was much beloved in
iur town and vicinity, not only by those
if Dis own pers uasion but by many of
i "different faith and order." The
Southern Christian Advocate of last
week pays a beautiful and loving trib
ute to his memory, from which we ex
tract the following touching lines:
'Sleep, weary and worn pilgrim, sleep
the sleep of God's beloved. Toil and
trial are all past. Eternal rest is thine.
Fold the hands, close the eyes, and let
)ur father sleep. Let us walk softly
not that we may rouse him-but in rev
irence of the saintly soul that has fall
en on sleep in Jesus. Let us ger My
kneel in truest submission and surest
faith, and let us again pledge ourselves
>o io live that we shall "fro to him"
when the watchers say of us-"he is

This Celebrated Horse at Meggies
Stables in Augusta.
Attention of horsemen is called to
the announcement that "Mahdi" will
make the season at Ueggie Bros. Sta
ble, Augusta, Ca., "Mahdi" is a choice
ly bred horse, coming from the oe&t
blood. His grand sire, General Knox,
ranks among the greatest of stallions
for siring trotters. On the side of his
dam you will lind the world renowned
Hambletonian blood. All posted horse
men know there is none better than
the above. "Mahdi" is a beautiful
blood bay, with black points, 10 bands
hijrh and has a splendid ap pea ranci?,
tine bone and substance. His action
and style are very near perfect. Al
though only handled for three weeks
"Mahdi" showed a mile in 2:2S 1-2,
which demonstrates his ability. With
any sort of developing, he could go
along with the fastest. "Mahdi" has
a number of colts in Georgia and Car
olina thar are very promising. There
never was a better opportunity tc- im
prove the stock of this section. For
