Tolbert, who hu Q succeeded in lorniog out oar popular _ ad efficient poelm istress, took posses ion of the post offioo here yesterday, end eioce then tbeoffioe hes been' erowd- ~g ed with negroes, both within end in front of the piece of delivery, much to nnaojeoee of the business community. fl^JI^Volbert eeid he regretted to tarn oat e fr ledy bat wanted the money and m he could now pet it ho would have it. Such op a sentiment is natural from one who is wi!- fee ling to deprive defenceless women of the means of support. He is an able-bodied b< young man of some means and without a family. Lewis C. Waller, colored, is employed as his assistant. The change is so great as to amount to a shock to ^ thj sensibilities of the community. Is r this the plan to break the Solid South ? Subscriptions to the cotton mill com- ^ pan? aro received almost daily, and now oi nmouot to over$100,000. It istho purpose of the company to uicrc than double this sum, which can be oanily done. P ? Cor. Greenville Acics. Fruit Canning in the South.? The fruit and vegetable canning and preserving business promises to become an ed with local growers to take 25,000 bushels of fruit, to be delivered between now and the month of J one, aud at Meridian, in the same State, fruit nud vegetables will he canned this seasou nu an extensive scale. The New Orleans Times Democrat says; "If Mississippi tries hard she can beat Delaware aud New Jersey peaches, and make her vege tabic and fruit product worth uiorc than her cotton crop, as witness the results in the piuc lands along the lower end of the Illinois Central llailro?d.'' The Township Bond Trouble not yet Settled-?Yorkville,' May 13.? The refusal of the Couuty Commissioners to turn over the bonds of the Three C's Kailroad, after the Supreme Court has dccLred the validating Act of the last Legislature constitutional, has again brought the bond question prominently before our people. The wisdom of thi* action on the part of the Commissioners in iciitcij ?rmciscu uj bum?f wni?e 1 others strongly uphold it. As fur as i run be learned, it is the intention of , these County officials, acting under ad- \ vice of counsel, to refuse to i??uo their certificate until couipolled to' do so by the legislature, claiming that the decision of the Supremo Court is obiter dicta. There are upwards of seven hundred members of the Southern Baptist Convention, representing independent congregations. The size of the convention h significant because it is regulated by the extent ot the contribution wbicb each constituency makes to the cause of missions. Formerly the representation was ooe delegate for every hundred dollars. The body becoming unwieldy, the basis of representation was raised to $250. " v uu c-?"

BFJfu The last issue of tbo Woodruff Ntiet announces its own death. It was an ably edited nod well conducted paper, and we are truly sorry to lose it. Woodruff, Gaffney City, Clinton and other thriving business towns, beyond the County seats of their Counties, have trisd hard to establish papers among them, and some of their papers have been conducted with spirit and ability, but it is very evident tlisy cannct succeed, and thier failures have a tendency to do marc harm than good to the towus thoy represent. tk? fn/?i <a there arc but few counties in but few Counties will give more than a bare living to owe papor. The best plan for those who wish to have their town or locality written up, is to cnga;e apace in the County paper, which any editor will gladly put at their d^posnl, under proper business restrictions, and select some one in their town to fill that space every week.

We remember the getting out of e at isfue, well. We were about 20 yeara j .1 I -- Tk. T.Am?r waa ?, ??uu mi ?ppi vmi??i a mv j ? iiblished in two of the small rooms ia the n Id Arcade, and on going from work the , ight before we stepped into the preee room, ] here we found the preseman, a big tall ( tan bj the name of Grant, lying on the floor rettj badly intoxicated; the press, a small | Washington hand press, was not "put up," , nly the "cheeks'* were in position and its i mer pans tying reose aueut tne uvyr. ^ One of the proprietors of the paper asked , is to "put up" the press for them. We went ( o work and bad it all up and nearly ready , or work, when Grant woke up, and seeing , is at work, he commenced abusing us , r trying to take his "sit" from him. He ] ised language very different to what we , earned at Sunday School. Upon being oon- , rinced that we had no intention of "taking ( iia job" he became pacified, and apologized. , ffe then assisted him in putting the preea n complete order, and we did part of the msswork of the first edition. We thiuk the irsl edition was 1000 copies. Of one thing re are sure, by 8 o'clock in the morning ieery copy had been sold and as many more rero calle 1 for at tha office. That wae 53 pears ago. We wonder if there is another nan living who worked on the first number of the rublie Ltdgtrl If theia is we m mil.I llhk In ... kin - - BQu Hon few |eople there are who think of the injury they do to themselves and the business of the town by sending their money to other towns for what they can get at home, merely because they cm get .what they want somewhat cheaper. This is particularly so with Union. Money made in Union is constantly sent out of it, making Union so much poorer and its business that much Iras, while it makes tbc town to which it is sent that much richer snd increasing its business to that amount. Money sent from Uniin fcr cheap goods (?) nerer returns, for we have nothing to bring it back. Takp a hundrc I dollars and set it in eircu* lntion in this community, and who can tell how oftrn it will double itself in profits to the merchants, mechanics and others, dur. ing the year. But rend it away for cheap goods, nnd it is gone from our business for ever. So far as Union is concerned, it might oa trill he burned a p. Keen the one who ' r -r ed to him fire or six times in liis year's bus 11.cos, una sou oe wnn ut to repeat its pro" fitable business operations next year. l'robnbly thousands cf dollars are sent out of Union every year by her oitixens? even merchants?who make their living here, if thoy wan' a hat, a pur of sbooe> or a drecv, they send to the merobante of a neighboring town for it. Is it any wonder that them is no money in circulation in Union? No town on the face pf God's green earth eould possibly prosper under such a drain of what should be inactive circulating capital.

Any attempt to impair our religious institutions or cripple their influence, would consign the perpetrators dctflge of scorn and contempt. Mr. Editor, we are glad te hear from brother A. A.

A Brave Hen and a Fine Bain at Riverside. Kites Sior, M?j 18,?We have an incident for your readers this week that is without a parallel ia the history of the country : Mr. Lake Cuid, new living on Mr. W. A. Moorhesd's farm, and a truthful man, too, tells tko following: Some days hack a large chioken bpwk came to his hhuso, and after taking a survey of the "promises, and looking up we beet chance for a young chick, flopped delhe Alo a brood of very nvntv ov* imm hir jmsj. 1 mother h?n, not being quite willing to submit to the slaughter of her young in such a manner, made one leap far dear life and jumped squarely upon the back of the hawk, and the hawk, being no less determined in his pursuit, fleVr off with the chicken in nis cmwa and tlia ben upon his back. In this way the h?u railsd off balding en and keeping Iter position for half n mile. After making ibis distance the hawk concluded lie got mora than be bad bargained for, and turned tbe cbickan leoae.

This it true of Paoolet. We settu to be in a lothargic state, at times, but we wake up end throw ourselves in shape for business when it becomes necessary. It is very seldom that we "get left.

Mr. Editor 1 have another problem to givt to the readers of your paper, and especially to some of jvy friend* a nd brothers, the sur veyora.

What will be the interSection points of this division line with tho fides & undo? I make this example general instead of making it special, in order that the result can be applied to the solution of any triangle, by mere substitution. Mr. Editor, 1 will wait a month for answers te this problem, and after that time I will send iu my remits. Very Respectfully, A. P. McKissick. $1000 It kw as ii.?
