But we wish to say a word with reference not:so hse'minterf whiehrsre cogspicuously absent frn e bi dh and crossings, A manat hat4aveled by prate conveyance thrn htree counties ked us why the County Corn nissionershAve not had sign-boards iut up at the 'iks and dross-roads. ?1i9 optiidonthatthese boards should be erected is shared by all who have experienced the loneliness which never s0 opyresses the lost traveler as when he -reaches the potin at which the road forks. and rids hoth idto indicate the right direction; aid the matter~is of suffi cient importance to have engaged the. attention of our' law-makers. The Genei1a Statutes contain this provision: "The Superintendents of Highways shall cause all the roads in theirrespective districts to beposted and nubibered, and. at eaeh' fork of said roads, a pointer to be placed declaing the direction of said Toads." Any Superintend ent of Highways neglecting to cause sai .roadto lie posted and nun bered; and td have pointers-erected as afdresid, shall be liable to pay .the sum often dollars for each and every snchiegleet." This, like the rest of the iaw'relating to the public roads is practically a dead letter. We canot say why the pointers have not been "placed"; we can say that tiie Superintendents have left indor e what ought to have been dbne. Tliey may be waiting to see 'hether the public highways-will be dispensed- with, or whether a new road lai will be enacted by the next Legislature; or, to take a more charitable view, they may be ig norant of the present requirements of-the law. At all events, the course that -they -may hereafter pursue, Swill be a matter of interest to coun :ry travelers. Kuxxs n GEORGIA:=The Sapnah. (Ga.)

Not a day passes but what there is from, three to a half dozen colored personsktilled "by Kuklur in this State. This murdeus work has been.going- on fer quite a while, and as yet neither the State nor Federal Governments.have taken any steps by which to suppress it. Colored farmers who have been successful with their crops, and colored teach era who are.doing a good work in the interior, are.forced to depart in haste in order to save their lives. Something must be done 'to put a stop to Kukioxismuin Georgia. If the State or Federal Governments do not nor wilitake the matter in band, the people will,be compelled to organize themselves into Vigilance committees sure enough and scour the country in behalf of the poor, defenceless colored people in the interior, who seem, to be at the mercy of the most desperate out laws ini existenee." THE SEA SWALLOWS A MiOUNJ TAIN AND THREE TOWNS. LoDs August 29.-A dispatch from :Batavia, Java, to Lloyd's says: h on of Anjier, Tjiringin and Telokbelong have been de stroyed by volcanic eruptions. It also says that all light-houses in the Sunda Straits have-disappeared, and that where the mountain of Kramar formeriygtood the sea now flows. The aspect of the Sunda Straits is mch changed and navi gation is dangerous. BA'rATrA, August 29.-The tidal [waves completely ,destroyed Anjier. Many persons there were killed and the loss of life among both Europ eans' ad natives at North Lzntam was enormous. Since noon ""ester day everything has been quiet, the sky is clear and communication with Serang has been restored. The temperature fell ten degrees on Monday, but it is now at its normal height. The town is covered with a thin layer of ashes which was so hot when falling that it killed birds. Telegraph linemen report that while they were at work repairing the line near Anjier early Monday morning they saw a high column of the sea approaching with a roaring noise. They fled immediately without learning the fate of the inhabitants, and all the people of the place perished. The floating dock at the island of Ourusk near Batavia is adrift and is badly damaged. Postmaster-General Gresham says that Senator Brown is liable for the losof $8,000 in the accounts of C,ey'the snspended postmaster oi4tlanta. Senator Brown is Con. insbondsman. TE-. Sep.3--The Au cotto re brt for the Mem e essee -North 'isI , #orth Arkansas and North Ala to be published to-morrow 'by Messrs. Hill. Fontaine & Carvill, says : Here with is submitted a summary of infor 1natin eontned in 302 letters bearing the average date of August 28. The outlook detailed -in these letters is by so means eneouraging. Drought, rust and shedding of squares and small balUs-. anmentioned as easessf-com plaint in nearly every portion of the district. Inl)|asissippi dasly four eor respondents represent 6d injury from LtAesecaugs. In.Arkansas,nly twelve. report no damage. Our July report indiexted a decreased yiefd- of cotton: as- compared with last year of 12 per cetit., owing to the causes alluded to above a summary of the responses up on which this report is based points to a deereise in yield of fully 20 per cent. The hot dry days and cool nights which have prevailed for the past two weeks have virtually closed the grow ing season by promoting rust and shed ding, and nothing now remains ex cept the bolls already formed to ma turity. Picking will become general throughout the district by September 15. -'I he following is the aggregate of the three huidred and sixty-two re sponses: Twenty-eight report the weather during August as having been unfavorable to cotton, one hundred and fifty-six favorable, two hundred and four less favorable than last year, one hundred and two more fav orable and fifty-six about the same, two hundred. and fourteen report the plant fruiting well and one hundred and forty-eight not so well; sixty re port the plant in good condition. and better than last year; two hundred and' eight not so good and ninety-four about the same ; forty-four report pieking as having commenced and three hiundred and eighteen not com meneed; three hundred and twenty six report injury to plant from drouth, rust and shedding, and thirty-six no injury; dighty report. a prospect of a greater yield than last year, two hun dred and fourteen that it will be less, and sixty-eight about the same. A.SU ESrIox.-If we may be per mitted to make a suggestion to our Georgia neighbor, the Augusta Chron ide and Constitutionalist, we would hint to him that he would render to Georgia a greater service if he could secure the passage of the stock law for that State, as. we have it in South Carolhia, thalf he would do if he were to line the whole seven miles of the A ta canal with nagnfleefit cotton .The stock law is based upon equity and strict justice to all parties. Contrary to the expectation of its op ponents in this State, it is pre-emi nently a poor man's law, and above all other laws, it benefits more than any body else, the poor widow who may be unable 'to- have rails to split to fence her crop. In fact, every objection which was urged against the passage of the law has been proved, by actual experiment, to have been fallacious. All the laws on the statute books of Georgia hre not worth to the farming interests of that State half as much as would- be the abolition of the pre sent iniquitous and monstrous law which requires a man to build a barri cade. around his farm to prevent the depredation of his neighbor's rasor back hog. If any Georgian objects to the stock law the probability is he wants to let his cow browse on some 'other man's hill,; or feed upon the crops of a ndighbor whose fence is un able to withstand the~ attack of his vicious ox.--Press and Banner. PosTAL NorEs.-The post office at Columbia yesterday received 3,000 postaf notes. The notes are hand somely gotten up, and are for the pur pose of sending.sums less tha,n a dollar through the mail, but they may be used for larger aniounts, if you are "green." enough to do it. These notes are always payable to bearer, and if lost and found the finder can draw the amount called for. No duplicate will be issued for a lost note. They are no safer in even dollars than if you sent greenbacks in a letter. As far as safe ty is concerned, the postal note is a humbg as a convenient risk it is handy; that is, if.at the risk of the payee; it is all right with the payer. In sitding one dollar or more the' postoffice money order can't be im proved. on, unless the postal notes are made payable to order and duplicates issued for 16st notes. However, as we have iaot been elected to Congress as yet, and the gove'rnment has thus far been successfully- run without any sug g estions from us being called for, uo doubf the postal notes will find eus tomers.-Columbia Register. NEW ARRIVA.s.-The bad crop year d1oes not seem to have much adveree influence upon the popula tion of A bbeville, for it is increas ing. Several of our junior married men have a broad grin on their countenances. M. L. Bonbam Jr., Esq., will -have to furnish shoes for another boy, it will take another biscuit for G. H. Moore's second girl and Chaucey Miller will have to jump up many a cold night to wait on his girl. We can see them now in the eye of imagination. Abbeville Medium. It is said that the first trial of Frank James for any offenc-the trial now in progress-begun ojp the twentieth anniversary of the Lawrence massacre, in which Jesse and Frank James did their first bloody wbrk, and in which nearly~ all the men*who formed the original Jesse~James gang were concerned. The raid was made by Quantrell's band of guerillas. The town was sacked and many residents were killed. Last week Paul Evans, colored, of Walhalla, a petit juror of the United States District Court, was dismissed from the Court on motion of District Attorney Melton, it having transpired that Evans voted for the conviction of a~ certain pris oner, but said confidentially that his object ini doing so, was money. Mr. W. G. Smith. W alhballa, S. C., says: "Brown's Iron Bitters com pletely restored my wile to her former vigor, after suffering long with ailments - peculiar to her sex." The plate on the coffin of Count de Chambord is inscribed with the following words: "Henry the Fifth, by the Grace of.God King of France and Navarre. The Edgefield Chronicle says : "The recent rains have put the crops in most parts of our count y in excellent condition, and with continued good seasons an average crop will be made.'' - 2Fog 'W13 H3AWr ierry Sept3d,'1883 MESSRs. EDftoEs:: I returned home a'ew days ago from Glean Springs, health much Improved from drinking that powerful and great water. The Srst thoughttlhat struck me after getting home was to go over to the depot where tbdNewberry Cotton Factory is located. and see the progress during my absence. I found that work was moving on very rapidly-I might have expected nothing else, knowing the President of the faetory. Robt.- L. McCaugbrin, as I do-he moves every thing in a quiet manner. that be undertakes, and with speed. Th is Factory is 204 feet long, 100 feet wide. and is to be a 10,000 Spind:e Cloth Mill -Coatractor.1. -1..Davis, Saperinteudent of building, and C. H. Holbrook, two gentlemen otligh standing as Factory Builders. Messrs. Leavell :& Epeers are- the contractors for fur nishing the granite for foundation and doing alLgsaite. work.. The Jendation will soon be completed, and appears to me a power fully strong .loundation; with the bemuti:al split granite got near. the Fac:ory. I have been taught that In bnilding care should be taken to build on rock foundations, a.d this Factory is so built. The contrac tors for furn&shlng the bricks are T. C. Pool & Co., already they bare 500.000 on the ground of beautiful pressed brick. The Stockholders arc all Newberrlans, and very nearly all iit the corporate limits of town. It wIll be considered by town and county the banner factory of the country. This Factory will add very much to the wealth and pros perity of Newberry and surrounding country. I also found on my return that our hon orable and respected Mayor and Wardens have purchased a Fite Engine at large cost, from the La France Fire Engine Co., and that they have sunk two cisterns full of water, one in rear Court House, holding 60,000 gallons, and one on Thompson Street, holding 30,000 gallons water. I have been told that the Engine is managed by experts. The fire fiend will find more trouble to set fire and burn up our beautiful town after this. Mollohon Block which was destroyed in my absence is still lying in ruins, except the two stores started previous to last fire, by our enterprising townsman Al fred Crotwell, they will soon be completed by Superintendent O. S. Wells. In visiting these stores I pronounce them the most beautiful stores ever built in this town. I understand the other stores on block will be built as soon as briek can be procured. . From what 1 have seen of farms of th is county and talks with good many farmers, the crop is much better than I have seen in my travels over the up country, I think from what I have seen and learned, this county will make fully three-fourths of crop of last year; some portion of county will make an average crop. The 50,000,000 of people In these United States are dependent on far mers for a living. As soon -as it rains go to sowing oats till last Oct., and then com mence sowing wheat and keep on sowing un til December. The farmers of this county are not despondent, those I have seen and talk ed with appear to think from old corn and oats saved over from last year by growing small grain largely this Fall, will be able to ran their fhrms next year and will be able to pay for their fertilizers and supplies used this year, and have surplus over to deposit in Bank of Newberry for safe keeping. Liens given in this county this year are small. Intelligentyoung men and ladies must build up .and make South Carolina what she was, and 1 will help you. P. Xew Jdvertiserments.
