Ho paid us a brief call ami renewed an acquaint ance of by-gono years. Ho waa onco a resident of South Carolina, but has lived many yoars in ibo "Tai' tieeifJ State, whor^1 no is'ono'of lior honored and sub stantial oltissons. Ho is now sixty-two years old and is ono of tho oldest sub scribers of tho KKOWKK Counimt.

And still thoy kick against tho pricks in another foolish attempt to pro vont tho establishment of tho Agricultu ral Collcgo at Fort Hill. But tho estab lishing Of tho Collogo is only a question of timo, therefore lot all tho farmers pos sess their souls ia patience. Mr. John Joost has a patch of corn, near the Court House, that bo planted af tor harvesting a crop of oats off tho same land in Juno. Tho corn is now in roasting oar and will make a hoavy yiold. This is tho way to got two well matured crops in ono year. Wo know this land three v?ovs ago to l>e a? p<v>r ?.u an" foot of land in Oconeo, for about one half of it was then used as a street and publio road. Mr. C. Ii. Reid fenced it in to his lino and brought lt up to its pro sont high degree of fortuity by last win tor when ho sold it to Mr. Joost. What oxcuso is tboro for having poor land wh?n a bani beaton road can so soon bo made so rich and productivo ? Mr. Knut Toter Knudson, of Norway, a seaman, died at Blomann's Hotel Mon day morning, 0th instant, at 5 o'clock, from consumption. Ho carno to Walhalla about two woeks ago from tho United States Marino Hospital at Georgetown, S. C., bearing a cortillcato of discharge from this institution of dato August 5, 1881), signed by G. ?. Sparkman, Burgoon. The reason givon for his dischargo is, that ho was troublod with chronic lung com plaint, and his physical condition was not improved by his stay in tho hospital on account of tho dampness of tho at mosphere. Hence ho was discharged for tho purposo of coming to tho up-country, tho physicians thinking that thereby ho might bo improved. But his discaso was too dcop soated, and its ravages too great, for our climato to have a salutary effect. He was wholly dopendonton tho charities of our people, arriving boro without any means and knowing no ono. Ho was taken by Mr. H. D.' A. Biomann to IUB hotel and tboro was woll cared for by bim so long as bo lived. Ho was a Nor wegian and quite a number ci lotters wore found in his trqnk written in that language. His only relatives, BO far as known, aro two brothers and a siBter in Now York. They wero written on Mon day informing them of their brother''*, death. His body was prepared for bu rial by tho Town Council and on Monday was laid to rest in the new cemetery. Ho was a seaman by profession, and from certificates found in bis possession it ?B learned that he was th h Ly-fonr years old, and that his character, ability and seamanship wore good. Wo know of no mode of treatment which offers lo Bufferers from chronic diseases a moro certain hopo of cure than that whloh is comprehended in tho uso of Ayor's Sarsaparilla.

On last Monday, September 2d, Court of General Sessions for Ker shaw County was convened by Judge Si J. Norton. The grand and petit jurors were called over and it was ascertained that Ibero was not a single absentee, and the most remark able fact to relate is that not one of tho number askod to bo excused, which is something unprecedented.' Judge Norton, in his remarks to tho grand jury, spoke at some length on our jury system, lie did not think thnt the complaints concerning tho jurors of tho State were well founded. Tie thought that tho sys tem was well nigh perfect, and if there was any fault to lind it certainly was not from any defect in tho law, but rather with the jury commission ers and their assistants. This was tho commencement of his second tour over the State as a presiding Judge, and his opinion of the jury system had been very greatly in creased in respect. Juries made few er mistakes and word freorer from bias by prejudice, favoritism or pop ular clamor than he had supposed they were when lie was at the liar. His observation and experience con vinced him that jurors have been chosen in accordance with tho law, and it is the duty of the grand jury to see that they continue to bc so chosen. One of tho duties of the grand jury was to see that thc jury o?mtnissionor was guilty of no viola tion of his duty, and thom would then bo no causo for complaint. Camden Journal. Wi) ? . Thc editor? o? tho Augusta pa pers ami the Mayor of thc, city ?ay that the flshway in the dam is in Sood lix and offert* ample means fov ie shad to come up the river if they choose. Tho present fish way oost $1,500 and after tho big freshet was repaired at a cost of $300. Th. Chronicle claims that it is tho fresh ets and muddy Water that hasoausod the absence of shad in the uppor Sa vannah. Only n few montas ago ono of the Augusta papora gave a glowing account of tho fino catches of shad that wore caught below tho dam, which articlo was reproduced in our columns. Now why ie it that |-lino oatches of shad are made below tho dam ?nd absolutely nono above it?-Hartwell ?Sun. Tho Pay of Witnesses. Judgo Simonton, of tho United States District Court, has -ordored that in no case either in tho Enstorn of Wostorn District of South Caro lina will a witness summoned by the fjovernnient foy tho defoiiHO ho paid lis per diem by tho United States, unless it shall appear that such wit ness has testified at tho trial and that the testimony WSB manorial to tho issue. If tho oasc bo abandoned by tho prosecution, either by an pn try of liol pros, or by consenting to a verdict of not guilty, or if the court shall instruct tho jury to find coi tile defendant upon MIC oioso ol tho testimony. for tho prosecution, this rulo shall not apply if tho wit ness bo present at the trial and if it shall appear by affidavit that the testimony *>f such witness would hnvo been material if tho witness had been sworn upon the trial. Tho Alliance has begun to make itBolf felt in tho fight against wrong, In Columbia the cotton weighers have been charging 20 cents per bale, when tho law allowed only 10 cents. A few days since thc Miller Bros., tho largest cotton buy ors, were notified that they would bc prose cuted if they continued to violato thc law. An Alliance man sold thom a bale, and they charged 20 cents for weighing, the money was paid under protest, and proceedings wore im mediately begun against tho firm. We shall watch tho case with inter est, and hope to -sec tho violator of tho law punished. The farmer has been systematically defraudad, and it is time that a halt should be called, and even justice meted out to all aliko. The farmer is tho only busi ness man who has never been allowed to set a prico on what ho offers for sale ; and now some money kings are attempting to force him to uso a cer tain kind of covering for his cotton, and to compel him to pay an cxhor bitant price for that covering. Wc Uko the sentiment uttered by a young farmer, "We'll usc cotton bagging if wo loose #5.00 per bale." Lot tho good work go on, and never give over the fight till succoss crowns the efforts to assert thc right.-Wasley Messen ger. The result of the recent election in tho Third Congressional District of Louisiana must bo a disappointment to the Republicans. Tho Kepubli can leaders declared that tho district must be captured. They sent speak ers down to arouse tho negroes and to announce to tho Democrats that there must bo a free election. They insisted upon a free election. But it was too freo for thoir ideas. The negroes, freed from tho corrupt in fluences and tho arbitrary domina tion of their leaders, voted in con siderable numbers with their white friends. Thc Democratic majority is 8,000. LOUISVILLE, Ky., September 2.-^ The Courier Journal has a special from Somerset, Ky., which states news has reached there of a brutal outrage committed lin?n a 12 year old daughter of William Gates, a prominent and wealthy far mer, resid ing a few miles from Monticello, by a negro. A posso was organized and started in pursuit of the negro. lie was caught in thc woods and tied to a stake. A rail pen was then built around him. Coal oil was poured over him, and upon tho rails. A match was applied and thc negro burned to death. DAYTON, O., September 2.-Sa muel C. Showalter, aged 69, volun tarily submitted to an injection of thc elixir of life three weeks ago, ? hoping for relief from rheumatism, and died to-day from tho effects of thc treatment. Immediately after tho injection was made his limbs be gan to swell and his whole system was permeated with blood poision. Cangreno set in in his body, it being putrid flesh chipped off in flakes as largo as a man s hand, and ho be came a horrible object before death relieved him of Iiis sufferings. -. . .

She ndves tho boys a few hints in the fofloving paragraph: ??You can toll pretty well how a girl feels towards you by tho way she takes your arm. If sbo docsn t caro a cont, you know it by tho indiffer ence of her muncie*. If sho has a groat eonfidonco in you tho pressure toll.-? it ; and friendship is as distinct from lovo'in that modo of expression as iii'words or looks. A woman can take the arm of a follow she likes very much with perfect comfort, Oven if sho is six fcot high and ho is four. But oven if tho two are just matched, sho can inako him feel dis dain, contempt, discomfort, dislike, anything, by the way she doep not hold on to him." Very Aptly Spoken. Ono of tho largest, wealthiest and most successful bankers in tho coun try remarkod tho other day, on being rallied on account of Iiis liberal and extensivo advertising p?tronago in newspapers, *;? would sooner take down my sign than discontinue my advertising. You must catch thc public oyo if you expoctto oatch tho public purse, and tho standing news paper advertisement, when changed frequently, is better, ohoaper, and a thousand times moro offootivo than reading notices or circulars. There is no business so high, so strong, or so exclusivo that it cannot bo bene fited by advertising. I would as soon think of doing business without clerks as without newspapor adver tising." On Friday last an imposing monu ment was dedicated at Manassas to tho memory of the Confederate sol diers who fell in tho two engage ments on tho historic plains during tho late war. Speeches wcro made by representative Southerners-ox soldiers who participated in thc bat tles. Thc audience which'assembled to hoar the speakers numbered 2,500. The shaft rises a few hundred yards north of thc junction of tho main stem and Manassas branch of thc Virginia Midland railroad, and is. i tho midst of ono of tho smallest mili tary burying grounds ir. tho world. The space is just fifty feet square, fret tho sod covers tho bones of four mildred dofondcrs of tho Confed eracy. It is designed to offer a space two foot by two loot six inches upon tho three uncarved mnrblo slabs to oach of tho twelve States besides Virginia which seceded. Fach Com monwealth will bo invited to have its coat of arms inscribed on the marble. There has been a tcrriblo earth ouake in Kassia. In tho village of Khcnzorick 120' persona wcro buried alive. Tho earthquake was also felt in Greece and California. It is a little remarkable that Mrs. Maybrick's grcat-grand-fathcr sen tenced tho first white woman cvor hung in Georgia, and for the murder of her husband. PITTSMIKO, Soptombor 2.-The will of the lato William Thaw was filed hore ior probato to-day. The estato is valued at $15,000,000, of which $5,000,000 arc bequeathed to charitable, educational and religious institutions. All such establishments in this city, irrespective, of creed, are remembered in the will. Tho largest beq?osi was to the Western ifni versity of Pennsylvania, whioh gets $100,000. If any persons have boen fright encd hy recent rumors of a coining deficiency in the beef supply of the country, they can find reassurance in this year's report of tho agricultural department on farm animals.
