For tlic Times. From Skull Shoals. Mb. Editor :?Since I last wrote you we have had a pretty severe drought, which has considerably injured the cotton crop, causing it to shed the under leaves und small bolls to a great extent. The plant up to the 10th of July was smaller than it lias ever been known before, and then forthree or four weeks itsgrowth was unprecedented, and had it not been for the recent drought it would probably have made an averago yield. Fine seasons are now visiting our land and the prospects arc good for future supplies ; but the staple crop being late, niul much injured, the standard farmers do not anticipate more than two-thirds of a crop at most. This immediate neighborhood, however, has suffered more than the adjacent settlements. There was on the 12th, at Abingdon Creek Church, a Sabbath school celebration, which was largely attended and conducted with "decency nnu in oruer. several snori speccnes wore <ielivered iu the forenoon by the Superintcndant, teachers and others, and nice premiums, in the way of useful books, were awarded to the more meritorious members of the school. In addition to the regular lessons the students have, since March, answered correctly more than one I, thousand questions, which, in writing, were | proposed at one meeting foTic TfTOWfTen nr. me next?some of the young ladies answering between two and three huudrcd each. The next subject for discussion in order?in which nil parties participated with a commendable zeal?was a bountifully filled table in the grove, which was well calculated to delight the eye and satisfy the appetite of the most fastidious epicure. This part of the programme being | ended, the party repaired again to the Church, where a question box was opened, a;ul the many questions propounded gave rise to much varied and interesting discussion. In justice to all, it is a plcaure here to state that in the community in which Abingdon Church is located the gospel has had a wonderful etfect. A few vears afo numbers of this community had never once heard the good news of salvation, but through t the indefatigable energy and zeal of ltev. John Tollison a good house has been erected and partly finished, and a permanent church established; and a more orderly or better disposed congregation will rarely be found in any community. What the great Apostle of the Gentiles said of himself to the Corinthians, might with prop iety bo hero repeated with regard to the pastor of this llock. "And I, brethren, when 1 came to you, game not with excellency of speech, or of wisdost, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you iu weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the .Spirit, and of power. That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the pow. cr of God. For ye see your calling, brethren, .?v.f ?.?MV uv? 1MUUJ moo IIIVII (IIICI I lie lll'flll, nut God hath chcsen the foolish things of (lie world to confound the wise: and God linth chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty. And the world by wisdom knew not God, but it pleased God by the fool islmcss of preaching to save them that believe." Long may this venerable servant of the Master live to manifest his usefulness, and to wave the bloodstained banner of the cross over the fallen sous and daughters of Adam. Respectfully. W. M. F. . > Cold Blooded Murder.?The colored enmp meeting which has been in progress near Abbeville since last Friday, ended Tuesday with a cold blooded murder, in a few yards of the pulpit. Hiratn Weetus was fatally shot by Lewis Grant. The facts are as follows: About 10 o'clock, Lewis Grant and Iliram Wecms were joking each other, when Grant lost control of his temper, ran about ten steps from his victim, turned and deliberately fired, the ball entering about two and a half iuchcs above the left eye, rxptfcaih ftbOul two hours. After firing, Grant dropped his carpet-sack and pistol case, and ran in the direction of the court house. The crowd, which consisted probably of nbout seventy-five persons, seemed paralyzed for the time and let the fiend escape. A Nice State or Things.?New York, August I'd-?A iVilkcsbarrc dispatch to tho Herald says, thirteen n-?f? u.?? ' ' -- - ., i.iiiuu diiiiuuii^ ui rioters, and nil wore brought to Wilkesbarre under strong military guard. The strike in that region is stronger than ever, and an old miner asserts that it is purposely kept going hy paid agents of President Frank Gowen. Trains are stoned daily, switches turnad, holders rolled on the tracks, and other similar acts continue At Plymouth, where soldiers doing picket duty have p. been shot at after dark, farmers are being * robbed continually by roving gangs of men, and the farmers are about banding togethci to protect their crops. Cost or Coli.kctino Tax us in Mauiox.?For collecting the State nnd County taxes during the winttu- of 1875-70 County Treasurer Stoeber received $2,429 ; in addition to which he was prevented, by the timely interference of the Hoard of County Commissioners, from making an extra grab of $551 81, to which he was not enli^ led. The County Auditor received during the nine year, $1,800, making a total of $4,229for ] /lie collection of tnxes for that year. This year the County Treasurer received $800 ; the Audi _ tor's, salary, $700 ; for assessments. $179; total, $1,679?a difference of $2,060, which is saved j U lo the tax payers.? Merchant aw!
