C.?Gentlemen: Nearly two years ago 1 contracted malaria into my system, nn 1 suffered greatly from time to time from it in various forms in which it developed. Sometimes had severe chills and fever?indigestion followed it, and 1 was generally out of health. Last spring for more than two months I was grently troubled with a disordered condition of tho bowels, which I believe was the result of tho malaria atill existing in my system. 1 visited two or three mineral springs, celebrated for the cure of malarial diseases, without tho slightest ben. efit. 1 was also treated in the different Symplons developed by the most skillful physi cmns, but was not reiciveu. nuuui tw" months ago, I conoluded totry Cnlisayaponio prepared by Westmoreland liros., but j mua^ confess I had little confidenoo of being materially benefited by it. 1 hnvc taken fire or six bottles oflbc Tonic. Fr0m the beginning 1 feel relief and continued to improve, until now 1 felt quite as well and in as perfect health as I ever did in my life, and belierc 1 am perfectly well.

BtaiT From nearly all parts of thn County we learn that tdc cotton crop doe? not give as good promise as the fiue plant would cause us to expect or hope for. Mony farmers have told us that upon close examination they find their early planted cotton have grown more to weed than fruit; many tine stalks not hnviug more than three bolls on them, while it is very seldom that a well fruited stalk can be found. The wet weather in June and July did the mischief, and the cold weather in August was anything but beneficial to the growth and maturing of the bolls Notwithstanding this disappointment, our Farmers are in better spirits than w<> , ?... jo. i neir Corn, Cat, Wheat, Pea, and forage crops have not been ns good for years, and they have made their crops with much less expense for supplies. Another very important Cactor^>r-TTnrirTTqri farming profitable ami honorable has also done much to make the lultiro of the farmer look brighter and more hopeful: The constant intercourse of i)n> u.. Alliance, auil the teachings of frugality, industry and close economy therein inculcnt cd, hate been put iu practico by a large number of them this year, and tho results are so plain that new life, a higher ambition, and n more elevated opinion of their nobto calling have been infused iulo the farming clnss of our people, nud they are begiuuing to believe that they were born for a higher purpose tbau to he "hewers of wood and drawers of water' for everybody else ; and are fust being convinced that there is both respectability nnd money in the farmer's high calling, if pursved with industry and conducted with gook frigoicnt, l'rigaiity and caminon-scuce economy; which is sure lo^muke the advocation of farming like every other avocation that is conducted upon sound business principles, not merely self-sustaining but profitable nnd highly respectable.

P, Mmij, m < Principal of the Male department,- Mr*. 1 Nannie Linder, of Union, Assistant. The ; pupils of the' male department numbered < sixty the first week of the term. 1 Miss K. A. Paxton is Principal of the female department, with Miss Minnie 'C. : Oist, of Union, Assistant. * . The pupils in the-female department numbered forty for the first week of the term. We congratulate the Hoard of Trustees upon their selection of Principals and Assistants in l>oth departments of the Schools. Prof. J. P. Mausy, Principal of the male department, is a graduate of Macon College, Va., and comes to us highly recommended as a pure gentleman, a thorough educator, and one well fitted for the high position he has asumen: that of training the youths of our community for the responsible duties of citizens. Miss K. A. l'axton, the Principal of the female ?lcpnrttuent, is a graduate of Miss Baldwin's Fcoiale Seminary, Staunton, Vn., and also comes to us with perfect credentials as a christian lady and thorough teacher. The Assistant in the male department, Mrs. hinder, is too well known in our community to require any recommendation at our hand. The fact that the Board of Trustees re-clccled her for the second term is a sufficient guaranty that she is fully competent to flit the position, and lias glren satisfaction to the patrons of the school. Her pure christian character and high culture, which is well known to us all, will be sufficient recommendation to the patrons of the school hereafter. Miss Minnie Cist, the Assistant in the primary department of tho Female school is a graduate of the Columbia Fcmule College, which of itself is a sufficient recommendation as to her qualifications, and those who are personally acquainted with her are well assured t lint she is thoroughly competent to fill the position to which she has been elected. With her christian character, genial nnd aminhlc disposition, she will exert an influence on the children placed under her care that will be felt for good in the community in year* to come. hc would not throw one stone m ?? / of any other schools, by saying that the i'ublic School is for the benefit of every child in flic community, but it in ft fact, that t"x"f;,a.rjibHc School Trustees hare in view is to builu up tne rmmcwcnuots m Union; to make them a permanent Institution, ami give thein a high literary standard. To accomplish this, the Trustees must cmploy a thorough and competent corps ol teachers, and thnt cannot he done without the aid of the public fund, supplemented bj ft liberal private subscription. To lH'curc the full benefit of the public Fund for this district it is highly important to increase the attendance of the scholars, and to accomplish this parents nud those having children in their charge should cooperate with the Trustees by patronizing the public schools as lai as possible. We sincerely hope that nil interested in the welfare of the town and the education of tin children will give to the public school Trus' tees all the aid in their power to make oui public schools a booming success. A movemcnt is now foot ? ?i?bo*- i"'11'1 "l" D,,J a suitable building for the school. This matter is now iu the hands of a committee composed of members of the Hoard of Trustee! and the Hoard of Trade. ?Now thrrrTTTe'oil mill is an assured fact, which will certainly bring to our town in the near future tunny operatives, let us offer to them good educational advantages, a! cheap a-- possible, by placing before them a good Public School, with the best lalent in | the land at its head, and by pulling together Ill 111V llHCrCM 1>I flic pIlllUC. The Colored Charoh Bell. Wc would not throw a straw in lhe way o the colored people worshiping ?3od, but on the contrary, wo would do nil in our power to encourage and elevate tdiem in their moral character, as we huvo always dooe. But the citizens living in the neighborhood of the St. Augustine Church make complaint that the unreasonable hour at which they ring their hell on Sonday morning, which ia between throe and four o'clock, is very annoying. We are to'd it is often the case that families are an *.sed and alarmed by the bell, thinking that it is an alarm of fire. To prevent the * 'outdo, we would suggest to the members of the church that they have an understanding, among them"slves that there will be ia sunrise prayermeeting without ringing ?f the boll.

Cotton T? I Oil Mill, of Union, then hat been real deal said and written, both *r and con, and I bare been reading and ??. ning silently ; but hare had an opinion be while. But, as some say, an opin* unexpressed, is no opinion at all, I Ku gbt 1 would say something?in a crnde ner I am aware?though with a feeling it will be read critically. Now 1 hare sr been antagonistic to the Oil cc Is, and am not to this one. *hile some say, or will say, tbat the Mill injurious to the country?to the farming jury?that it will tako the best and |*j spest manure, cotton seed, from the ns, and that the Union Mill will be sh more so, it being nearer, I know if . n inclined to sell seed, the nearness of P Mill will be no inducement, sud ought *' to he, to any ono, if the farms are to tlecced for money. But the land is not iged to hs robbed of that good manure, 1 the meal, which is said to be much ter than the seed, could be returned. Dr. Jones, of the Southern Cultivator, who - * - - ? - ?? L ...1. 0' acknowledged authority on an much duu:t9, says that the cotton sce*l meal is better manure than the seed, and that if the d could be gotten to and the meal from ! mill, without too great an expense, sell i seed, and buy meal, but never swap, i have triod it under cotton, alongside guano, and liked the meal the best, for oorn, it is rather troublesome, if not 8 expensive, to put seed under it, for if 1 >y are grren they will come up, and that ich is almost lost, besides the time taken ' cover up the sproutad cotton. And it is ? aerally conceded that limo in money. J it with meal no suoh result follows. It said that there are about J18 or ?20 J irth of oil and short lint in every ton of id that is buried in the ground, and that , ere is not the lesst partiole of manurial lue in oil. That much is literally thrown j ray, that might be made to do somebody od. And if you do a fricud good you ve done yourself good. Let Union build c Mill, and then the Mill men and rmcrs work to each other's interest; for there nro any two factors that ought to irk together it is farming and mnnufacring. This Mill will be a home enterise, and let all who are disposed to sell ed sell to tho home Mill, and make for eniselvos some money and allow the Mill en to make some also, out of the otherise wasted oil and lint. And then let the ill men sell the farmers, at fair prices, pure, nadultcraled, and highly concentrated anurc, cotton seed meal, and then that 18 or $20 that we have been throwing vay?burying it in the ground?will be rculatcd right here among us. There are >mc who will waste ft large quantity of ed that could be utilized some way, for icy will not uso them for manure, and line will ship them a long distance to sell, ow, when they ship the seed to distant i;*w, >c. roci>i?a the money for lem, 'lis true, but the money from the ilo of oil is lost to us entirely. And if io farmers purchase meal from distant lilts, or inferior grades of guauo, that toney, too, is scut frctn home to be circuited among ttrangcrs, leaving this aunty and its people that much poorer, nd in more depressed condition. And theu, too, it is said, the hulls, are n excellent, feed for cattle, with great fat;ning qualities?better than the seed. As >r that, we ?rc not prepared to say anyliing, us it scums rather problematical; ut if it is true, then we n>ay truthfully ndorse the couplet of the negro : "The cotton seed am greatly decoibin'. And its true worth am past all bcliebin.' " Ami the cotton crop is of more importance an the planters had realized. Some will say that cotton seed is the licapest manure obtainable. 1 dou t think o. Let me try to givo o cheaper one for ou know that on four-fifths of the land, t?r> tint nlono won't pay for tho raising, and he seed must go to get a very little for your rork : That cheaper manure is pea vines. Where twenty acres?poor acres?have ecu phujtod iu cotton, take tea uf tho best, ffiTvvoririind manure that well, and it will ay belter than the twenty half cultivated, rith the extra expense attached, and the titer ten could be planted in puas, witlt a ttle cotton seed meal under them, or some ood grade of guano, and make a heavy rop of peas, which is also a money crop; esides, the pea vines are a valuable mauro without the expense and trouble of auling to and spte&diog on tho field : and be farmers could continue, with proper otntion of corn and peas, oats and peas, nd cotton, until they bring their land to a igh state of fertility, at the same time, with *ir prices for cotton and seed, make two aouey crops on the same laud, where thoy cretofore nave u ndo only a part of one. With a little surplus caoital this could asily be done, bvt, i*, is mighty hard for the oor farmer to do mots tb^n be,rely live, tut it seems it lias been the general rule rith us to work for everything but our ivn pockets, and we never suoceed. And , is evidently tlio case with town and ountry alike, for it seems that with them is "tit for tat; you kill niy dog. I kill our cat." Some may think litis treason, ut very few will attempt to gainsay it, for oth factors have been continually grumbng and croaking, and is doing *o yet, to a ertain extent, trying to give ventilation to nag;nary wrongs.

J. it. jenerics, at Union, last Wednesday on the sowing of fall oats. Oats sown in August and September are almost a sure crop. I bare farmed for 13 years, and bavo never failed to make fine oats on oats sown before the middle of October. A few years ago, on about "2 acres of old field, where I had out a crop of Spring oats, I concluded to have the stubble turned under. In Scptomber I hired two boys and gave tbein their dinner and fifty cents each to plow the stubble in thinking it would benefit the land. Early in the spring I perceived a tolerably good stand of volunteer oats, partly covered in the weeds and grass, and concluded to them remain; and from those two acres, I ^ p thrashed G5 bushels of fine heavy oats, which cost only $1 50 to plow and ' cut. Then, last year, I know a farmer who, J while he was having about a third of an acre of turnips plowed in in September, drilled ' with his hand two rows of oats between J r each row of turnips, and he reaped for bis > few minutes work 17J bushels of very fine oats. There is very little danger of oats being 4*I winterkilled if sowed early in the fall, as [ the roots will h ive time to bo well attached o to the around, and the grass that will grow f before fro.il will groatly protect tbciu from ^ ^ j the colli. By all means, Brethren, sow largely of ( fall oals, and they will hare time to fully r mature, will improve anil not impoverish J tlio land, 1-kc those sowed in tho spring. r Also sow a patch of rye 011 good land in r this month, and uext April you will have n 1 forage that your work stock will like and will eftve coru. I THE BEGINNING AND DUBATION OF THE e ALLIANCE. 1- The year 1888 will be the time long reL' mcmbered by the South Carolina farmer ft* g ^ f tho era of his freedom?the date when selfrespect took a new lease ou his life. Tho 1 timewheu good will towards his noightor * anil nn intelligent love for Wife and children possessed his soul; the epoch when he , fully realized that, "be somebody, and I am somebody,' The tithe when liens, mortgages | and time prices begin to tako their flight upon tho winds to the four quarters of the earth?the tlntc when the giviuo truth ilpt e "God only hplps those >yho help thentr 't' sclvos fell" upon the inmost recesses of hiu soul in thunder tones, y "Then he arose and shook himself us lie :C was accustomed to do and like Samson pcr'* ceived that the l'hilistines-timc prices, liens *0 mortgages, trusts, and indolence?had licit spoiled him; then he called the little child, 'l (the farmers Alliance) to lead him to tho ^ pillars, and invoking God's help we hoar y him," not groaning beneath the debris, but a shouting victory from its summits. Yes, Brethren, tho Farmers Alliance is born to live, iueome form ns long as we have wives to cherish?as long as wo have children to provide for and educate?as I0112 ua these old hills have to bo dressed and cultivated. And all other occupations had as well adjust themselves to the inevitable and rejoice with us in a common victory. MR.
