Redmond Sentenced. Greenville News. A dense crowd assembled in the Courthouse yesterday morning to hear the sentences of the court upon the prisoners convicted during the present term, the interest being cen tred on Lewis R. Redmond, the fa mous moonshiner. He occupied a ehair immediately in front of and, of course, facing the Judge, and seemed to be in good spirits, engaging in " plaant conversation with Judge Fields of Pickens, an old and faithful friend, during the time of waiting for the commencement of business. S666 after court was opened Dis trict Attorey Melton said it became his duty to move the court for judg meat on the persons convicted at this i term. -.-- * * * * * * He then moved for judgment on Lewis B. Redmond. Redmond sat bright and cheerful, ~ . ansls the indictments were read glancedabout him, meeting the eyes ofacquaintances with a roguish smile, and being apparently in the best of spirits. The District Attorney then review d. the cases on which the prisoner - y.ha' pleaded 'Guilty.' Th * * * * * The venerable Judge who looked down at him alone knew whether he; .. a to -be imprisoned for thirty or -iree_ years, -or fined many or a few thousand dollars, but Redmond's con fident demeanor never changed, and he still glanced about and smiled, or carefully adjusted his collar, while - ren. .arlington said : May it piease your Honor-I had almost concluded to say nothing more -in these eases than I said when they were c'alled for trial. - But, I ask per mission,' in behalf of the defendant, =iad. ?t his request, to make some statearnts of facts which, in my opinion. have a bearing upon the merits- of his appeal for mitigation of . panishment for his violation of the a In doing this, I have little hope f inuencing your Honor's judgment, ::1-have confidence in your Honor's ition to dispense justice with : erey in any case presented. But the defendant's case is a pecu liar. one; and, I think there may be presented -to your Honor's considera tion facts and circumstances, which justly make a strong appeal for ?-ercy. - nthe first place, I would ask your -~ ~ Hnor to consider the circumstances <whieb surrounded the defendant when - *>tese offensed are alleged to have been .e{inomitted. He is now twenty seven* ier of age-only seven years old wies, the civil commotion began in this country, which resulted in a bloody civil war. He iwas, indeed, S rocked in the cradle of revolution, litia wn State sponsor at his side. At tfieolese of this bloody war he was but a- youth, twelve years old, left c- rdiftiiiton -its' tide. 'Two of his ~?'~ bothers .had been sacrificed on the s -lar of -wbat they deemed their eliontrg, leaving the defendant, their .p~biother .to- care for an aged fa irrand mother and four sisters. In a.haort time, the father and -mother ~.died,, leaving him to strnggle to sup portthe family, uder the hard blows fTmi.sfortune. In the strait in which he was placed, he became an offender a .gast: the law, in a community 7 here his offence was Dot considered "2 crime; It was .at the close of the dirgswhen its greit waves which had biein fashied to the sky had not sub sided ; when -the passions of men bad Kt been cookLd when. society had ben.pturned toAs very foundations'; when iaw and order had iiot returned ~to their accustomed channels, and the - eakness of human nature gave way to the-confusion of the hour, and the r rason of The best *of men lost its a bearings. It was at this juncture, he followed the example of others, and brought himself into the vortex -which has overwhelmed him. * * * His offense was the crime of the com -munity in 'which he was born and ieared, .2and he should 'not now be uimades to bear its sins. If proof were wanting ofr what I assert, in this re spect, I would cite your Honor to the crowd of penitent sinners who poured down' from this section to the portals of this sanctuary of justice a few yea'rs ago, pleading for the benefits of am nesty wbieh President Hayes offered -to them. .And I beg to state to your SHonor, upon the solemn asseveration of the defendant, that although some 4 of his offenses were excepted from the amnesty, he would have come here, and claimed its benefit as to offences i embraced in its terms, and appeared to- the other offenses, if, in his opin ion, he could have done so with safe ty. But he was placed in a position where to have attempted this would have been at, the risk of his life. He was pursued as an ota.H ol not show his headanwhrwiou being shot at by prosi ibs esde. * * * - Now, may it please your Honor, -defendant has committed no offence against the law aince this amnesty was - - offered. He has been a law-abiding citizen. He has expressed himself as ready to surrender himself to the mandates .of the law, when the au thority was shown him. But in April last, while at home in peace, he was fied upon, and severely wounded. Thirteen balls penetrated his body and clothing. Four balls are now in his body ; and be is injured perhaps for life. In all the fusilades fired on him, he numbers one hundred and -sixty-two shots. He is now suffering under his grievious wounds. Jug 31lo*adteeteelm Judof pushent said thixrety year it of punishment was thirty years ~nA vninimnm two and a half: the The sentence of the court was then announced : For the 'Gary raid,' three years imprisonment, and a fine of 8500. For the 'Barton raid' the same. For each of the eight Revenue cases, six months inprisontrent. Redmond's countenance never cbanged, except that it became a lit tle more grave. 'Is that as you expected, Major :' a representative of The .Daily News asked him. It's way yonder more than I thought for,' was the reply ; 'I never expected more'n three years.' 'Can you pay any of the fines?' 'No,' with a shake of the head. These fines will give him a month additional imprisonment each, after which he can be released from them by swearing to his insolvency. The total term of imprisonment in bis sentence is ten years, which by good conduct can be reduced to nine. There will be a strong- movement to obtain a pardon, and Redmond is very confident of obtaining it, or a com mutation to two or three years im prisonment. The Great Guesser. Vennor Explains the Theory of his Weathei Predictions. Prof. H. G. Vennor is stopping at the Hotel Brunswick, New York, and of course has been interviewed. He explains his system as being based upon the results of observation, and the comparison of cause with cause, effect with effect, season with season. Ele says : 'What I do and have done is the result of persistent study and directing others' labors. I discovered one fact, and proving it to be a fact beyond question or dispute, I have builded upon it, and built safely, I think. What was that discovery ? Just this: that seasons and years re cur in couplets and triads. Rules applicable to the first season or year of a,couplet are equally applicable to the second season or year of that couplet, -and precisely so in the triads. Such is:the main superstructure of my work. But I soon found that the system was not bound down to a mere generality, embracing only a season or year in its entirety. Experiment evidenced that the same calcufations could be made for a month, and that, too, with an exactness that at first appeared to be surprising. And 1 pursued my work still further, until now I do not hesqi tate to bring my calculations within a week. Yes, I have been able to des igliate particular days. That is usually moy rule in the test of my predictions. But the public should understand that, except in special cases, I never risk every thing upon any single twenty. four hours. I -have not yet reached that point in my system, although there is no telling what will be accom plished in the near future. My ex perience .long ago impressed me with the force of the recurrence of periods of similar weather, and to my per. sonal experience I have added the au thentic records of" three-quarters of a century. Those records cover Canada and the United States. They are prac tically complete, and they uphold my theories. Upon them, in fact, to no small extent, do I depend for every thing. Sometimes I am bothered by my inability to decide whether I have entered a couplet or triad of sea sons, and until that matter is settled I am all at sea, and g:uit.e as likely to be wrong as right. Now, an in stance of that was the winter of 1880, when, you will remember, I~deelined to say anything positively. I was in doubt upon many phases of the then recurring weather, and was unwilling to make any forecast. You will-bear in mind the circumistanpces. There was the strangest of weather. But the instances in which I have been obliged to forego my predictions are wonderfully few. Such a miss is ...ot possible once in a thousand times.' He thinks that the United States Signal officers have been ungenerous in recent strictures of his system, and says: 'Early in July I saw indica tions of the heralded storm for this section of the Atlantic. The dates fixed upon by me for the probable arrival of this disturbance were August 26 and 27, and to-day I observe the sig nal oficees are giving warning of the same, but in a very indefinite and waering dispatch. My opinion is that the storm will reach this vicinity on the afternoon of Saturday, the 27th, or Sunday morning, the 28th, or not at all, and will usher in a change to very much cooler (along the coast to colder) weather.' Clippings. Jeff Davis and family have gone to Europe. During the present year thus far 3.I15 miles of railroad track have been graded and laid. Augusta, Ga., has now in operation 175,000 spindles in her cotton mills, representing an investment of $5,000, 000. Mrs. Annie Loptski, a Polish wo man, of La Salle, Ill., gave birth to three boys and a girl, all of whom are doing nicely.

The News and Courier the 1si instant gave an extended and grat ifying review of the business of Charleston for the preceding year Accompanying the review was s large map of the city and harbor The review shows that the busines, of the city for the past commercia year was "satisfactory in most re spects; and in other respects was decidedly encouraging." As a cotton market Charlestor has never stood higher. The re ceipts of cotton were 628,187 bale: -more than for any previous year. and 160,590 more than for the yeai immediately preceding. There wa. a slight falling off in the rice re ceipts, owing to the large crop mad in Louisiana, and algo in naval stores. In manufactures Charleston ha. made rapid progress, and this in dustry will be still further largel3 increased during the ensuing year The value of the manufactured arti cles during the past year was 86, 945,000. The wholesale and retail trade o: Charleston exceeded that of 1879-8( considerably. The shipping facilities of Charles ton have already been enlarged hj what has been done in the construc tion of more extensive wharves, th< deepening of the harbor by mean5 of the jetties and the work on the Qharleston Canal. These worki are all in progress, and at no dis tant day will prove of incalculabh advantage to this port. The businesd of mining and ex pdrting phosphate rock in the vi cinity of Charleston, as well as th< mnufacture of the raw materia: into commercial fertilizers, has in .creased at a surprising rate. Ir 1867 the shipments were 6 tons practically nothing-in 1875, 122, 970 tons ; and in 1881, 266,734 tone. The shipment of the fertili zers manufactured fromi the phos phate rocks has increased from 12, 122 tons in 1867 to 100,000 toni in 1881. The revenue to the Statt from the royalty of $1 per ton or phosph4te rock mined in rivers anc navigable streams for the 3urreni year is expected to reach over $120, 000. The taxable property of the city amounts to $15,017,695 on real es tate, "and 86,555,864 on personal property-total $21,573,559. The city debt has been diminished $615, 358.70 since 1870 ; the debt is nosn $4,626,350.98. The schools and colleges o: Charleston are in a flourishing con dition. The health of the city has been. and is, excellent. Taking the review all together it has a very hopeful look for Charles ton. It does look at first sight as ii the guano men ought to divide losses with the farmers this year. But there is certainly no way for the farmers to demand it, and they should not so far forget their obli gations as to say because we have been unfortunate we shall not pay you all. It will undoubtedly be hard, and in many cases impossible, ito pay off ration liens and guano iens ; but we are satisfied that there is an earnest desire to pay in fll, and a determination to pay as far as possible. The farmers-al] of them-should be very careful not to say we won't pay in full; that would be repudiation. The basis of credit is ..all enough al ready ; but should any-considerable number of the farmers manifest an indisposition to pay their honest debts that basis would very' soon become much smaller. IAs we said before, we are satis fed that the Newberry County far mers will not try to shirk a single dollar of their honest debt incurred in raising their crops ; and that so far as possible they will pay to the ]ast~ farthing. Rapid Promotion;. A few men who are now promi nent in railroad circles reached their positions very rapidly. Col. A. C. Haskell stepped from the Sn preme Court Bench into the Presi dency of the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta R. R.; Mr. R. L. Mc Caughrin operated the Laurens R. R. a few months as Receiver, and was then elected President of the Columbia & Greenville R. R. Both these men had been prominent in other fields ; the former as a law yer and judge ; the latter as a banker. The most remarkable rise wqs that of Mr. V. E. McBee, of Green ville, (otherwise known as "Bunch" McBee,) who rose from the position of brakeman on a frcight train on the Air Line to the Superintenden cy of the Western North Carolina R. R. A few years ago, being out of employment, he went to Superin tendent Foreacre and asked for a position. The Superintendent said, "There is no place open that you would have. I could make you a brakeman on a freight train, but I know you would not take that." "Put me on to morrow morning," said the young man. He was put on ; and by his intelligence and his strict attention to duty he has gradually risen to his present en viable position. A Firions Storm on the Sea coast. The storm at Charleston Satur day night, 27th ultimo, was very severe. The wind blew furiously, and the rain poured down in tor rents. Considerable damage was done to shipping and buildings. A few lives were lost. Mr. Thos. P. Lesesne, twenty-three years old, son of ex Chancellor Lesesne, was drowned off the battery. In Savaanah the storr, was ter rific; nothing like it was ever known. Houses were blown down or unroofed, several vessels were driven out to sea and lost, and many persons lost their lives from falling buildings, and from drown ing. The wind blew at the rate of seventy five miles an hour. and the rain poured down like a flood. The damage to property was very great, being estimated at not less than half a million dollars. The parks and the splendid shade trees, for which the "Forest City" was so famous, were devastated. It will be a long time before the city can recover from the feat'ful disaster. The latest estimate of the loss of life in and near Savannah by the storm of Saturday night, 27th nit., is from 250 to 300 ; the loss of property at $1,500,000. Of those who 'lost their lives and have thus far been found ten were white. The Blue Ridge R. R.-Pros pepts of its Conmpletion. The Clyde Syndicate has put a corps of engineers on the line of the Blue Ridge R. R., to examine the condition of the road-bed and to estimate the cost of . completing it. The engineers will make their report in the course of a month or six weeks. It has already been de cided to extend the Blue Ridge to Knoxville ; the question now is whether to make the connection at Toccoa, on the Air Line, or by way of the old Bl'ze Ridge route ; and this question depends on the esti mated cost to be made by the en gineers. The Clyde Syndicate Buys the Virginia Midland. The Clyde Syndicate ha.s added another big link to their Rail Road combination by purchasing the Fir ginia Midland R. R. from the Balti moi'e & Ohio R. R' Company. Thir road, which extends from Washing ton, via Alexandria, to Danville, is 187 miles long, and runs through a very fine section of Virginia. It was through this roa.d that the Baltimore & Ohio was expected to compete in North anid South Caro lina with the Richmond & Danville. This change of ownerghip will not interfere with the completion of the North Carolina Midland. Capt. Howgate, of the U. S. Ar my, while in charge of the Signal Office disgraced himself by embez ziing 8170,000 and abandoning his wife for a "strange" woman. He was arrested for embezzlement and gave bail. A few days ago he fled to Canada with his mistress, carry ing 822,000 with him, and leaving his wife and daughter penniless. Bradstreet's regular monthly cotton report. p)ublished the 3d in. stant, estimates the cotton crop of the country 27 per ent worse than The County Fair Will open the 19th of October and continne three days. The out look for the Fair, notwithstanding the gloomy crop prospects. is favor able. The three preceding Fairs have been successful, and we hope the citizens of the County will see that the next is equally so. The President's Condition Is about the same as it was a week ago. The doctors have con cluded to move the patient to Long Branch, and a car has been fixed up for the purpose. The removal may I take place any day. It is a desper ate resort to move him in his pres ent condition ; but the physicians think that he is bound to die if he remain in Washington. The campaign in Virginia is be ing waged vigorously. Both Dan iel, the Funder candidate for Gov ernor, and Cameron. the Readjuster candidate, are young men of fine ability, and are pretty well matched. Gen. Wickman, a prominent Re publican, who was Mahone's oppo nent in the race for the U. S. Sen ate, has declared in favor of Daniel ; but it is not thought that he will carry any considerable portion of his party with him. The election comes off the 11th of October. Alva Hawkins, the Republican Governor of Tennessee, has made a fool of hirgselt by sending a. cir cular letter to the several Gover nors of the States and Territories recommending simultaneous fune ral services in honor of President Garfield. He did this when Car field was thought to be beyond hope of recovery. His indecent haste is explained by the fact that he was afraid some other Governor would get ahead of him. The Trustees of Furman Univer sity have decided to reopen that institution in the Fall under new management and new regulations. Rev. Charles Manly, D.D., has been chosen President ; and the Trus tees promise that he shall be sup ported by an able Faculty. The free tuition system will be aban doned, the reason, no doubt. being the failure to collect the endowment subscript ion. If the Pr-esident get well his doc tors will hereafter enjoy the rich fruits of a national repttation for intelligence and said. Should he die they, and the country, with the ex ception of a comparatively few fault 'finders, will have the satisfaction of knowing that all was dono for him that human skill could do. It seems that Arthur is not to be President after all. State News. The storm of the 27th ultimo did enormous damage to the rice crop on the coast. Columbia shipped during the past year- 34,000 bales of cotton, an increase of 9,000 bales over the pre ceding year. Col. Juo. C. Haskell's house, in the suburbs of Columbia, was burn ed down by an accidental fire the night of the 29th ultimo. A meeting of the stockholders of the Greenwood, Laurens & Spar tanburg R. R. Company will be held at Spartanburg to morrow (7th) for the election of cffeers. About twenty Sheriffs of the State met in Columbia the 30th .ultimao and formed a "Sheriffs' As sociation." Sheriff Ferguson, of Oharleston, was chosen Pr-esident; Sheriff Gilreath, of Greenville, Vice President; Sheriff iRowan, of Rich land, Secretary and Treasurer ; and Sheriffs Ruth, of Lexington, Holly, of Aiken, and Wheeler, of Ne wber ry, on Constitution and By-Laws. A Duel Nipped in the Bud. PETERSBURG, XA.. August 27. This nmoringu Mr. Thomas GI. Wat kins, a yvung lawyer of this city, was arrested onf a warrant sworn out by the Rev. Horace Stringfellow before Judge 1S. IM. Mann, chzarging that Mr. Watkins and Mr. Waverly N. Ragland were about to engage in a duel. Mr. Watkins was placed un der a bond of $2,000 to kee:p the peace. Mr. -Raglarnd's whereabouts are not known. The Lostile corres deuce resulted from an editorial pub lished in the Virgi.nian, a Readjuster journal of this city. in which Mr. Watkins was characterized as a polit ical scavenger-, of which charge llag land admitted that he was the author.

The Excessive Drought-The Fertilizer Question-11ents and Lienis. JALAPA, S. C., TOWNSHIIi' No. ,). EIroRs HERALD : In view of the -aprecedented drought in this as well as in many other sectiGus of the coun try, and the great effort that has been made to produce a crop to meet the cecessities of the people, and the unu sual amount of fertilizers needed to aid in that effort. though proving to he almo,.t worthless, would it not be well for the citizens to call a meeting of the various Townships and unani mously petition the various manufac tories of fertilizers that they may real ize the fact that it will be impossible for the planters to meet their obliga tions, and have anything left to live on; that they will make a reasonable deduction, and not cause the country to be brought to the sad condition that seems now to stare them in the face-starvation. And further, there are a number of persons in the country that are honest, industrious, persevering, and in time will be the backbone of the country in the farming interest, who have rented farms for stipulated prices, and who have spared no pains to meet their liabilities, but who, from the excessive drought, will make no more than the rent. We would also suggest that the owners of the lands (or said farms) be as reasonable as eircumstances will permit, that these persons may not be so crippled or killed off as to destroy all enterprise, energy, &c. Let lien holders also be included. In short that all parties should manifest a de sire to live and let live. TowNsHIP No. 5. The News will please copy . I want to say a word to my brethren of the plow. The drought of 1845, unlike this of 1881, was 'preceded by a bountiful small grain crop. The failure of crops is general , this year ; therefore it will be much harder to pull through 1882 than 1846. Now where is our relief, and what must we do ? Some say sow small grain and turnips plentifully. This is good as far as it goes, but we want relief right off. For this has been a most disas tjous year to us ; the full extent of the calamity will not be realized until another year by many ; we are ruined through no- fault of ours, unless we get relief from some source. Then what maust we do right now to get relief ? I would respectfully suggest that the farmers of this County hold a meeting in the Court House Sale day in October next, and kindly but firmly say to the Fertilizing Comipa. nies, you have grown rich and waxed strong and fat off our bone ar.d blood by using your Phosphates, which is all right; we don't object to that; we desire to sec you thrive and pros pe-r, but we desire to live too. We therefore request you to bear a pro portionate share of what ought to be a mutual loss, authorize your agents to deduc~t at least 350 or 200 pounds of lint cotton per ton of Fertilizer, and not exact the pound of flesh this time. If you do so we will do our best to pay you the balance, so that - we may be able to go on another year, but if you do not deduct we will not patron ize in the future such as refuse, and try to take such steps that you get nothing, or only what we think is just. If you lighten on us now we will be much encouraged to go forward and continue buying from you as here tofore; if you do not you will truly be ripping open the goose that has been heretofore literally laying the golden egg for you. And then we call on our Legislature to give us what relief and protection they can by en acting a stay law, or such other better remedy as their wisdom may suggest. What say you, brother farmers, to the meeting? Speak out.. You~ have a right, and ought to make yourselves heard, even the poorest; and if need be, make yourself felt too -by your votes. FARMER.

The neighbor hood immediately around Cross Ill has long been distinguished for its in telligence anA refinement and liberal patronqge of education. Among the distinguisbed natives and residents of this neighborhood were Colonel Beau fort T. Watts. well known throughout the State, and one of the most cultured gentlemen of South Carolina; Homer L. MeLowan, cut off in early life, but not till after he had established a high reputation as a lawyer and a man of letters; "Jamcces M. Baxter. of Newberry, the equal of almost any lawyer in the State; Zach C. Pulliam. of Pickens, killed in the war holding the rank of Colonel, who, had he lived, would have been among the first men of the State; B, R. Campbell, many years Commissioner in Equity for Laurens County, and, at his death, one of the 'brightest' Masons and highest Masonic officials in the State. The gentler sex, too, have bad from this neighborhood a representative of national reputation-the 'late Miss Pamela Cutroiogham-better }enowu as the 'Southern Matron,' who ini tiated and achieved the 'Mount Ver non' purchase. To the natives of this aeighbor hood may be added, among the living, Judge Samuel McGowan, of the Su preme Court; Colonel John Cunning ham, of Charleston ; and of the Laurens bar Messrs. B W. Ball. B. D. Cunningham, Thomas Campbell and Fiank P. McGowan. Hon. John W. Ferguson, the pres ent State Senator, resided at Cross Hill and taught school several years. Few neighborhoods in any direction can exhibit so worthy a roll of useful and honored citizens. There is in Cross Hill Village, also, eh-srches of both the Baptist and Methodist denominations in good work ing condition, and promise much use fulness. The Presbyterian Church (Liberty Spring) is at present without a pastor or stated supply. The coun try around is thickly settled and of flue agricultural capacity, and affords a promising field for usefulness to a minister. The crop prospect in this County has fallen off very much in the past ten days-showers being few and far between, and light withal, not often enough for t.urnaips even. e.Vew Jdt'ertisements.
