Th? Weather,
We cnunot rememcmber when wo had such cold
and tkuscasonasblc weather, so late in the season,
as we have had the past ten days. Up to Wednesday
last fires ami winter clothing were as
necessary as in mid winter. Tuesday morning
we had a cold dreary rain, and many persons
wore their oyerconts. What with tho high
winds and cold mignts tnc cotton is not uoing

The Bankrupt Law.
The repeal of the bankrupt law is assured
by the latest action upon it in both houses of
Congress. The only matter to be decided is
when it shall go into effect. The House sent it
to the Senate to take effect on the 1st day of
January, 1870; the Senate passed it but inserted
the 1st day of September as the day when
it shall take effect. In that condition it is now
beforo the House.

Speights Goes to Spartanburg.
Our friend Speights has concluded to move
liis daily paper to Spartanburg; the enterprising
citizens of that town having complied with the
terms required by him to induce him to make
t lie change.
We congratulate all parties upon tho move,
but we believe that Spartanburg will gain the
most by it. Speights, in a daily paper, can do
more to give a town favorable notoriety and
build it up than nny ten men we ever saw. He
did more to build up Greenville, during the
short time he was there, than all the citizens of
that city ever did. and his loss will be orreatlv
felt after he has left. If the people of Spartanburg
will stand by Speights, and give him
substantial encouragement, we will guaranty
that Speights will stand by them 'till the last
horn blows, and that Spartanburg will become
the most noted as well as the most flourishing
town in the interior of the State.
County Convention.
The County Convention, which is to meet here
on Monday Morning next, will tc composed of
delegates from the several local clubs throughout
the County. Each club sends one delegate,
gg#0ae additional delegate for every twenty
five 4proUed members.
The Convention will be colled to order in the
Court House, at 11 A. M., by the present Chair
ta&p of the Union County Executive Commitfc
As soon as organized and officers are
wincted, the first business will be the selection
of a County Chairman, to serve for the next two
years, and also an Executive Committee, to be
composed of one member from each club, to be
lected by the Convention upon the nomination
of the local clnb. The State Executive Cemtffttee
have recommended that the local club
always nominate its president.
The Convention will also determine whether
County officers shall be nominated this year by
onvention or by primary election ; and in either
case will arrange tho details. Other business
#!U doubtless be transacted by the Convention
before its adjouvftment.
A Miraculous Esoape.
On Friday last as four young Ladies wero on
their way, in a closo carriage, to a Pio Nio at
Murphy's Mill, just as they got to the brow of
the steep hill this side of lleaty's Mill, it was
proposed that the Ladies should get out and
walk to the bottom of the hill, as the mules were
restive and there was danger that the carriage
might be upset. The carriage bad gotten somewawlrtntop
the murel, which maBITt IWder
for them to held the carriage. Just at this
time the "king bolt" broke and the carriage
body slipped forward on tp the mules. At this
the animals became fright enpd-and dashed down
the hill at a fearful rate. All who witnessed the
occurrence hold their breath horror strioken, believing
that the carriage must be dashed to pieraa
nn4 iia AnnnnnnU aiiko* lr 111 ?#1 aitlwUkt ??
fearfully mangled.
At the foot of the hill runs Tosher's branch,
and fts the animals dashed madly into it ene of
them fell forward upon his head and broke his
neck ; the other fell upon him and struggled
fearfully, but was soon out loose. The falling
of thfe mules sored the young Ladies' lires, for
a fe# feet farther on was a hole in which the
carriage must have been upset and in that situation
dragged some distance and demolished,
and the fate of occupants can only be imagNotwithstanding
the fearful danger ho was in,
from the time the mules started be bravely kept
his seat and held the lines with a firm hand, keeping
the animals in the middle of the rood, thereby
preventing the carriage from turning over
or being thrown into the deep ditch on either
side. To his coolness^and braTory, we honestly
believe, the young Ladies owe the preservation
of their lives. Had he jumped off or in any other'way
given the mules free rein it is more than
probable that every one of the young Ladies
would have been either killed or crippled for
life.
A Treat in Store for Union>
We learn that Cramer's talented Comedy Company
will open Nicholson's line Hall, next
Wednesday, night by giving one of their exing
farce of "Goingtothe Races,"will constitute
the performances. J Professors Denck, the great
Pianist, and Schmidt, the ocomplished musician
will assist.
Mr. Cramer, the manager, is now here putting
up the beautiful scenery and stage fixtures,
that are, in themselves, worth the price of admission.
The citizens of this town really don't
, know what a fine Hall Mr. Nicholson has fixed
up for them We believe it is tho handsomest
in the upper paft of the State, and wo hope all
our citizens will bo at tho "unveiling'* on Wednesday.

The Wheat Crop. I
Wo have made enquiries of farmers from almost
every township in the County the past
week, concerning the condition of the growing
wheat, and feel safe in saying that it gives
promise of a good average crop. In some sections
the rust is seen on tho blade, and the fly
has attacked it slightly, but many, farmers tell
us they expect to gatlior a good crop, and it will
uuuiu iu earner tiittu usual.
A Diabolical Outrage.?Bruksox, May 12.
?A special train of fourteen cars besides engine
and tender, from Augusta for Ycmassee,
was totally wrecked &l Camp Branch, sixteen
miles below here, en Saturday, at 2 o'clock in
the morning. The wreck was caused by upright
obstructions placed in tho cattle guard by some
diabolical demon.
At the place there is a heavy down grade, and
the engineer, Mr. Samuel Davis, was unable to
prevent his locomotive strikingAhe obstructtaW
with full force. The force with which the obstructions
were struck by the locomotive caused
four freight cars and the engine to be turned
over to one side of tho track. Mr. Anthony
Qibbs, the fireman, was instantly killed by the
locomotive falling on him. It is said that passing
trains in this neighborhood have several
times lately been shotLnto by some persons concealed
in the woods. A negro was'arrested on
suspicion last night and sent to jail ; others are
suspected and closely watched. The locomotive
and eight box cars are a complete wreck. The
loss is estimated at $12,000. All the freight
was saved.?New* and Courier.
Killed is his Hleep.?An outrageous mur-.
der, the effect of whiskey-drinking, occurred in
Augusta on Wednesday night last. Robert Kuffin
and Jerry O'Hara, who were friends, were
drinking, together with other young men.?
()' Hara became intoxicated, and was put to sleep
in the back room of a grog-shop. Some one
told Ruffin that O'Hara had said that he had
killed Ruffin's father. Ruffin said that if he
said that he would kill him. He borrowed a
pistol, went to where O'Hara was sleeping, and
shot him twice. O'Harawasdead several hours
before any general alarm was given, and Ruffin
was not arrested until the next night. Ruffin
slates that O'Haranot only acknowledged having
killed his father, but also threatened to kill him
(Ruffin.) Jie says that O'Hara was asleep, but
that when he shook him, before shooting, he
opened wide his eyes.
Peter Cooper Arrived.?Hon. Peter Cooper
arrived at Oaffaeys on Saturday evening, on a
special train, and accompanied by Maj. Thomas
Bouiar, afterwards passed over the Airline Railway
to AtUata, Ga Mr. Cooper is expected to
return to Limestone, and spend some days inspecting
the b lildings and surroundings. A
committee was appointed by our town authorities,
consisting of Dr. Carlisle, Prof. W. W.
Duncan, Maj. J. E. Bemar, and Capt. If. L.
Farley, to proffer the courtesies and hospital!
ties of the city to Mr. Cooper, and it ip hoped
that he will be induced to pay us a visit.?Spart<tn.

W the Enemy it Working.
JotMBey has made a ooll upon his Republican
falewers in this County to meet in Mass
MeetlBt iOme time next month, when, he says, 1
"bushiMt*of importance will be brought before ??
iTherifl* various conjectures as to the ob- **
%L^H|e|tlng. Some are foolish enough >'
to stipp^H^^Pyne Intends to organise .his
Radical Ticket i^axt Fall. Oth- M
er^wOwKJPwsTmffre sensible*vleiV 6f the
move, hoi suppose he intends to make a show
of organisation and then, if there should be
found/a sufficient number of disaffected demo- jn(
oralis aspirants to form a nuoleus for an ?'inde- eff
psndint" organisation, bs will be fersale to the
highisi bidder. M
Alain, there at e persons who think be is movifig
|u the interest of a few in this town, who RU
fll Ihcmst^vcs democrats, but are preparing to n,
( fppo the democratio tioket if they or their
^Bads are not nominated upon it. Tbey are pr
^ amoving with all their might and means 10 dc
PmAnew party, with the view of putting therafflyrand
a few select frieads into office. They ad
o'ppt nominating candidates by conventions, ?'<
ancfraiso ail sorts of objections to the plan of
nomiatiag by Primary Election. They have
do^lgained not to be satisfied with any plan unless
tfcey are the central figures in it. Having
Jrni litVje Wjangth la themselves, rrv.
they thMW^W excite' thi pr^wHoes and fears
of whttmheyiall the poorer classes against the n
Dcmocmtic party.
AlreAy we have heard, that these men are ^
telling she people that Moblcy's move is "a fo
trick oKthe straight-out democrats, to make the
voters Wlifeve that he will run a ticket if there
is a spnt in the democratic ranks." This tale
has two-edges to it. In the first placo these
malcoments know full well that any bargain or
amu?ment with Mobley and his followers
wouldlbe bitterly opposed by a large majority of re
the tiue democrats of the County and would ^
weaken the pai ty ranks. But that is not the
edge tiey intend to use. What they want is ga
the hem of Mobloy and. his followers, but they
dare net make a bargain with him unless they q,
can imwess the people with the belief that the ?u
democrats "played the game first," therefore
Jfraf SSTiMf S?o choice of party on th^ygeggg. ^
In corroboration of such a suspicion, some of or
these soreheads are even now advocating the
right of any man?even the most radical repub- S<
liqfcM to vote at the primary election, for deroocrg^o
nominees, if he will only promits to vote *
uie dtmoonHie ticket at the regular election.? ^
The Idea of allowing republicane to vote upon
democratic nominations is so preposttrous ^
that*no man who has not "an nxe'to grind"
would think of proposing it. We all know what
the Mire promiso or even an oath of the aver- (
age republican is worth. Wc see them, at every ^
election, make the most solemn vows to vote the
deiiocratio ticket, and go direct to the poll and ^
deposit a full republican ticket.
We warn the democrats cf Union County, not
to put the least confidence in such reports.-?
Theyo is not a shadow of truth in them. Wo
handed fight, and win, too, uuder the pure, liberal
and unsullied democratic banner,inviting all good
citizens to coiuo into our ranks and help us;
while alj who affiliate with Mobloy'a republican
party, to oppose our cause, must thereafterdake
places Vhcre they belong, in the Republican
ranks. If they prefor Moblcy and ignominious M
defeat tq-<temocracy and a glorious victory, they
must submit to the political disgrace which such Si
a choicfewill certainly bring upanjhein.

Mr Mows From Cross Keys. cl
Mr.j&itob:?Perhaps a few lines from our tli
section ^Phd not be entirely void of interest to m
some tjf many readers. Although there is
nothing of unusual interest in or about Cross
Keys.
The Carriers are quite busy now in their
crops, ntiict^is rather in advance of the last few tt
years. Cotton still sesros to be the ruling eloment,.
the acreage far exceeding that of last ?1
year. It seems hard for the farmers to realize U|
the fstct that it is more economical to raise their m
own/supplies than to raise cotton and buy them, ct
espitially at the low prices that they are receiv- t0
inglforit.. w
tlheat is almost a failure in some places, in th
oth^r sections, unless some unseen disaster N
cones upon it, a half or perhaps two-thirds of
a crop will be made. The yield, however, per 1,1
acreage will fall far short Of last year. I learn nt
that ({is fly is playing havoc with it in somo tb
portions. This fly is a small insect belonging, I w
believe, to?the gnat family, and is very prolific, Bt
the eggs, when deposited, hatching in from six to
titendays. They quit the wheat as soon as St
the IpoomiAg season is over and descend abeut
an into the earth and there remain all the C1
wintef. I have noticed that the fly troubles the ]z
wheat store after a miTflk tbait a sevprw winter, in
also, t)iat in countries where the winters are
mild and short it is necessary to abandon the [j'
wheat crop for several years, to get rid of them h<
by starvation. 6
Potties is rather at alow ebb. It seems hard wi
to gel our people roused up on the matter of pi
politiof. The idea of organising a democratic rn
club appears preposterous to a great many of of
oar people; some excusing themselves with be- ni
ing loo busy, others that it will do no gcod as a m
few are determined to run the whola.affair gtv- of

matter; referring us to the acts of tho last he
Nominating Convention, which, they claim, was on
all done before the convention met. Others, th
stili, are holding off" with folded arms, saying ro
that we are safe, tho government is founded on ce
true and honest principles, and no use of or- d<
ganiting these clubs, forgetting the injunction wi
of our noble leader, Hampton, "the next elec- ov
tion will determine the future of our State."? ag
However, we have fixed on next Saturday the gi
11th, lo meet and try to organize. to
Wom^w|(y our people eould appreciate the on

to partially redeem our country, whilst our el
contemporaries are still greedy enough to suck te
the last drop from our impoverished State. Let in

THE USURY LAW AND STATE DEBTS.
[continued from our last.]
The Charleston Netct and Cuurier, has said
iat "the upper oounties cannot expect to be
sgarded in the North ns the centre of liberal
jinions, when from the up-country comes the
ost ardent support of such measures as the
tury law, and the hottest opposition to the payent
of the debt of the State, which the demo otic
party had solemnly bound itself to pay
> the lust farthing."
Will the A'eirr and Courier, please explain
hat it means by liberal opinions, and if it is
e advocate of the North and the exponent of
orthern interest and Northern pdioy ; and if
seeks still to accumulate Northern capital at
ie expense of Southern labor and Southern
-oduclion? If so, then we have no word of
-gumeat or remonstrance to utter, believing
iat it would be as idle and useless now as it
as in the post of our history of lawless spoliion.
If not so, we would ask the Newt and Court*
compare the situation of Charleston and the
ate, when?before the late sectional strife?we
id a well enforced usury low, with their presit
condition. The State, which is agricultural,
as prosperous throughout all its limits ; itscitens
cheerful in their employments, social and
'PPJ >??>? nm fcl.it ?lih
>e lightest taxed and wisest governed of any
sople on earth. Charleston was renowned far
j wealth, its success, its refinement, its elegant
>spita!ity. This was when bank interest was
per cent, and tlie legal rate of the State
as 7 per cent; when the law was supreme, the
ess honest and ahove suspicion, and the libe>1
opinions of the North were pilloried, instead
' attempted to be impressed upon our cornmuty.
What are we now f when the standard of
oney has been elevated over us and it, the idol
the North, has been presented and accepted
r a time as the object of worship, and the
>pe of restoration awd returning prosperity, te
ir daov and nrostrate neonle ? It was to be
e magician's wand, the touch of which was to
ake our State bloom and smilejall over, far exiling
what it had ever been. The menej lea?r
had all legal restraints removed, and there
as no limits placed upon his interest but his
en will. The segue) shows the rosult. The
pieultural productions of the State have lanlished,
the mechanical industries have ceased
be employed, tho merchants are almost withit
trade, the landholder* have been {?reed to
ortgage their estatee, and many of them to
rnndon thpjr homesteads, and all the laboring
nsses have become poorer and poorer, year pfr
year?from what causes ? The high rate of
teres* on money, and its twin monopoly, the
ien law.
How has Charleston fared with that, under
is liberal idea of nnlimitsd pride of money??

After the close of Jbe War the stock of
this oompany sold at 80 cents on the dollar?it
will not now sell for ono cent. Their bonds are
on the same downward road. It is high pre* (
raiums on money that caused it. Their floating *

the
doomed victim "to the centre of liberal opinions,"
located by the'Norlh, in the bonds of
willing partnership agents, in Charlsston, and
vindicated by their speoial, if not interested
ergnn, the Nev>? and Courier. The fallen state
of tho South Carolina Uailroad Company, toils
to, truly the fate of the property holders and all
othsr interests in Charleston, which have been
absorbed by the moneyed centres there, at
whose disposal, are hundreds of thousands, nay
millions, of dollars. Here, in this section)
among the ardent supporters of the usury lswi
from twenty to two hundred and forty per cent

cleanses, brightens, invigorates and restores to
its original color and lustre, faded gray or discolored
hair, cheaply, quickly and surely. Tha
poorest people prefer to buy it and use it, rather
than to prootnim in a manner more forcible than
words oan delineate, through blanched locks or
grizzly beard, that they aro aged and passing to
decay. A very short trial will convince .the
most skeptical that it does eradicate the scalp
diseases which robs the hair of its color and life.
