We learn that in the neighborhood of ? Hopewell, on Broad river, the corn crops, where washed away or destroyed, have been promptly replanted ; and, curious to say, according to the testimony of experienced farmers, the cotton crop has suffered less than the growing corn crop, and on various plantations promises as good a prospect as if it had escaped inundation by the recent overflow of the river. SALES-DAY. There was but a small attendance of people in town last Monday?sales-day for July. By order of Court, to foreclose mortgage, the Sheriff sold a tract of land belonging to David H. White, which was bought by J. M. White for 81,000. Under execution, the Sheriff also sold W. C. Manning's interest in a tract of land, which was bought by A. F. Smith for 8150. Albert G. Meanes and Jessie M. Thomson, Assignees, sold, under forecloseure of mortgage? the right, title and interest of W. Waddy Thomson in certain lands on Broad river ; bought by A. G. Meanes for 8850. JOB PRINTING. We are constantly adding to our facilities for the execution of Job Printing in the best styles of the art. In addition to the most approved presses, we have an abundant supply of types, borders, etc., and use the best grades of paper. To those in want of bill heads, letter heads and note heads, we will say that we will duplicate, only adding ^ freight, the prices of Corlies, Macey & Co., of New York, or any other prominent printing house, for printing of that description, guaranteeing as good work in every instance as is executed by such houses. Orders from a distance promptly filled, and specimens and estimates furnished by mail on application. COTTON BLOOMS. Quite a number of cotton blooms have k been exhibited at the Enquirer office within Pfc^i^^the past few days. The first was brought in oiTSKtwday-Jtjr Mr. A. L. Jonas, of Bethes da township; and on Ubmtay Mcaers. W. Waddy Thomson aud J. B. Smith, of Broad f River; W. R. Hayes, of Catawba; John [ Nichols, of Bethel, and Mr. Hallman, who is farming near town, each brought in a bloom. The last named was of the tripple variety. Of the colored farmers, Green Jackson, who lives near Shiloh Church, brought a bloom on Saturday, and John and Joe Conn, two indusU*iousfreedmen who work on the lands Mr. W. J. Rainey, near Blairsville, sent in some blooms on Monday. These blooms are >> from different portions of the county, and each Bection reports the crop to be in good condition. A SMALL SWINDLE. Mr. W. J. Neely, of Clay Hill, encloses to 1 us a small flannel bag containing a spoonful of coarse sand, carefully sewed up, which is represented to be "Prof. Morse's celebrated ^ safety bags for kerosine lamps." These little bags are closely sealed in a neat envelop, bearing the foregoing label, which, besides, 1 contains the cheering announcement that by j using the safety bag, "it will save your money, and perhaps your life." And as if to evade the rapacious collectors of revenue who might demand tribute on a foreign article ; or, per-; haps, to dispel thefes.rs of timid old ladies who are always "jubus" of things they don't exactly understand, the precautionary words are added to the label?"Manufactured in this State." The inventor also, according to his : label, is secured by letters patent, granted "May 14, 1875," and for improvements granted "Feburary 10, 1876." These "safety bags" are vended by an itinerant, who writes himself "Theo. G. Thomae, Sole Agent," ^ aud claims to be from Lockport, N. Y. Mr. Neely informs us that quite a number of these "celebrated safety bags" have been sold in ! York and Chester counties, at the price of l 81.75 per dozen, or three for 50 cents. Those who have bought them haraiy neea co oe toia that it is a clever little swindle, while others who read this paragraph may, perhaps, avoid being victimized in a similar way. Correspondence of the Yorltville Enquirer. LETTER FROM CHESTER. Chester, July 3, 1876. A meeting of the stockholders of the Chester and Cheraw Railroad took place in the j B Court House of our town, on last Tuesday. I The meeting was, for the most part, composed ' of stockholders from the towns of Chester and Lancaster. Mr. Newton Whitesides, from Lewisville, and Messrs. J. S. Drennan and O. Barber, from Rich Hill, were present. Col. | J. S. Wilson was chosen chairman, and Mr. I J. S. Drennan, secretary of the meeting. J. j J. McLure, Esq., then moved for the appoint- j ment of a committee of three to verify proxies. A considerable discussion arose upon the question, whether or not persons who had not paid their subscriptions should be regarded as stockholders. Mr. J. B. Erwin, of Lan-' caster, argued with force, the negative side, while the affirmative was strenuously sustained by several gentlemen. Mr. Erwin took the ground that if subscribers who had not paid their subscriptions be regarded as stockholders, then those who had not paid would have the same voice and the same power in the meeting with those who had. He knew, he said, of persons who, since their subscriptions to the capital stock of the company, had gone into bankruptcy, and were unable to meet their subscriptions. Consequently, he held, that as they had not paid for the stock ! subscribed for by them, they did not own any 8u>ck, and were not stockholders. C. S. Brice, I Esq., held that those who had not paid their subscriptions should be considered stockhold-' I .1 ers, because their responsibility to '.be railroad company still existed. Before cl ?siog his remarks, he moved that all the subscribers to the capital stock of the company be considered stockholders, until their stock hau been declared forfeited, by the proper authorities ' This motion was seconded by J. J. McLure, j Esq., with some remarks. If the negative ; side of the question, he said, was tenable, it j might be discovered, upon examination, that 1 no Chester and Cheraw Railroad Company ; had ever existed, and whatever bad been done heretofore by them was improper and illegal, i This opinion wa3 also entertained by Mr. j Brice, that if subscribers who had not paid t r -i ?I J?:J-J U i lor toeir siock were ueciueu uui iu -jo bluc&- | holders, then they were discharged from their , obligations to the railroad company. Mr. Wm. A. Moore, of Lancaster, thought that while persons were held responsible by the Company for their subscriptions, they were, and had a right to be considered stockholders. Mr. Brice's motion was adopted by the meeting. A committee of three, consisting of J. J. McLure, Esq., Mr. Daniel Brown, of Lancaster, and Mr. T. A. Moffett, were appointed by the chairman to verify proxies. Sometime was consumed by the committee in the performance of this duty. When performed, they reported 919 shares represented in person, and 195 shares by proxy, makiug 1114 shares of stock represented. As 1096 shares constituted a majority of the stock, the stockholders proceeded to business, after making Mr. Wilson and Mr. Drennan permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting. Mr. B. J. Witherspoon, treasurer, read his report of disbursements, during the past year. A floating debt of $7395 exists against the Company, all ot which is due to the president and treasurer. It is true, a larger indebtedness exists, amounting, I think, to about 835,000, but this has been provided for by the hypothecation of county bonds. A discussion and decision upon the scheme, devised by the joint committees of the citizens of Chester and Lancaster for the early completion of the railroad between these places, was next in order. It was evident, from the beginning, that the adoption of the scheme by the stockholders was a foregone conclusion. Mr. VV. A. Moore, of Lancaster, stated that he had some objections to the scheme, which it would be both useless and unwise to give. He had at heart, he said, the success of the road, and it was not his desire to say or do anything that might tend to its injury. The objections were not of his own seeking, but' were so manifest as to force themselves upon his mind. G. J. Patterson, , Esq., who is supposed to be the father of the scheme, insisted upon hearing Mr. Moore's ob- ( jections. Harmony, he said, was essential to the success of the scheme; the existence of a ! respectable minority against its adoption would tend to its defeat. For this reason he was desirous of hearing objections against it, i and, if possible, remove them. Mr. Moore arose and stated substantially that his principal objection to the scheme was the extraor- : dinarv powers vested in the finance commit tee. Id accordance with the proviBioos of the scheme constituting the finance committee, the directors would be powerless to perform any act without the approval of this committee. Their consent must be obtained before the president can buy a spike, a Fish-joiut. or any thing. In the opinion of the gentlemen from Lancaster the effect of the appointment of a finance committee with so great powers would be to clog the action of the di- ( rectory, aud thus retard the completion of the road. He thought that authority should be vested somewhere, and believed in the old , form of railroad government?a president and board of directors with plenary powers. Mr. Patterson, in reply, admitted the force of the objection if it was conceivable that the finance board would not act in harmony with the directory. But he feared no such unhap- , py result. He believed that, as the two boards would be actuated by the same mo- ' tives, and would have the same interests to consult and promote, no serious difference of ' views would spring up between them, and an emire agreement would characterize their business relatious. Instead of the finance committee clogging the movements of the directors an entirely different effect, he believed, would be the result of their appointment. After the discussion-of the merits, of. the j scheme the motion was made to adopt it by 1 acclamation. Mr. J. B. Erwin, of Lancaster, objected to this, and argued in favor of a vote by stock. He thought it would establish i a dangerous precedent to decide upon a matter of so erreat importance by acclamation, aud, in concluding his remarks, demanded the taking of a stock vote. The chair ruled 1 that as a demand had been made for a stock ! vote, the vote must be taken in that way. The result of the vote showed the popularity of the scheme among the stockholders. All ( the shares of stock were voted in favor of the scheme with the exception of about sixty, which, I believe, belong to one man. As the hour of three was now rapidly approaching, the meeting adjourned for a short time. Hav- ! ing refreshed the inner man, the stockholders J reassembled about five o'clock. The first i thing in order was the filling of vacancies in the board of directors of those who had resigned. J. J. McLure, Esq., was elected in the place of Major G. W. Melton ; Joseph 1 Wylie, Esq., in the place of J. S. Wilson, and ! N. B. Chaffee, in the place of W. A. Moore, I Esq. Dr. Joe Foster, of Lancaster, resigned ' his position on the finance board, and Mr. J. ; Roottv una ap]pi->teH in his stead. A resolu tion was adopted that the President and Directors be instructed to draw up and execute coupon mortgage bonds, and that a mortgage be executed upon the road without delay. An adjournment then took place with the view of allowing the directory the opportuni- ; ty of calling upon Mr. Rathburu, president of the Roane Iron Company, of Chattanooga, ! who bad arrived in our town, and was stop- ! ping at the Cotton Hotel. { Wednesday was appropriately celebrated i by both the white and colored population of 1 our town. Representatives of the latter ele- , raent, composing the Hook and Ladder Fire |: Company, and members of different societies, i of both sexes, marched through Main street ; to the inspiring souud of music at an early !; hour of the morning. The procession pre- ! sen ted a good appearance. About noon the Chester Rifle Club and the | Chester Sabre Club united in a procession on i Main street, and marched to the Court House, j where they were entertained for a while by a pleasant address from J. J. Hemphill, Esq. He referred in pleasing terms to the important battle and the heroic men of a hundred years ago. At the conclusion of the address ( the two companies reassembled, and took up the line of march,the Sabre Club in advance < and mounted, for a shady spot a considerable distance beyond the Depot. Arriving there, the target was placed in position, aud the riflemen began a display of their marksmanship. After three shots had been taken by 1 each member, the firing ceased, and Mr. Thomas Bennett was declared the winner of the prize. The intense heat that prevailed j1 was the great drawback to the enjoyment of the day. On Friday afternoon a flag was stretched across Main street, bearing on one side the words "Tilden and Hendricks, the People's ! Choice for President and Vice-President," and 11 on the other side, the inscription, "Tilden and Hendricks, Champions of the Union and Constitution." On Friday night a ratification of the Democratic nominations took place in 11 the form of a torch light procession, which pa- I raded, for a while, through the principal ;! streets. The procession was accompanied by j! no speaking, but by a considerable amount of! | noise by Democratic youngsters. Mr. J. K. Marshall, of this place, has been j appointed conductor, in the place of Mr. Galbraith, resigned, on the Chester and Lenoir Railroad, which has been completed through to Dallas. A storm of wind and rain occurred in portions of this county on last Thursday after- j noon, which did 6ome damage. Fencing was prostrated, and oats laid their heads low in the dust. - ' A collection was taken up at our different churches, on yesterday, for the relief of the ! Colleton sufferers. The amount obtained in this Way, together with the sum of one hundred dollars or more, raised here last week, hy private subscription, will be of great assistance to the destitute persons of that county. The Republicans of this place propose celebrating the Fourth, in raising a flag in honor of their nominees for the presidency and vicepresidency, Hayes and Wheeler. The sight will doubtless be witnessed by a large number of the colored element, assembled here from ail portions of the county. I have not been informed as to who will honor the occasion by speech-making. The eagle will spread his wings, and pierce the clouds, if any addresses in honor of Independence day are made. Qui.

NEW YORK, July 1.?Gold, 12J. Ssnmnf ^ office A Flower that Changes its Color. Botany is a division of natural science which treats of plants, and a study of vegetable phisiology must be the foundation of botanical knowledge?a study only possible by the improvements in the microscope and in organic chemistry. As plants are not scattered haphazard over the earth, t>otanical geography must be studied, and, with this, plant history. Botany may be applied in the wants of every day life, as in agriculture, horticulture, or medical botany. Animals often exhibit a marvelous instinct in selecting medicinal herbs, and an observation of their habits hasoften, even in the present time, led to most valuable discoveries. And should man, with his knowledge and appliances, fail to discover less than the brute? It is of medical botany we would speak, or of the HEPATINE PLANT, discovered in Southern Nubia, the flower of which changes its color with every change of the atmosphere. The remarkable changes and variations of this plant and flower imvfi heen for vears our SDecial stud v. resulting in the discovery of its possession of wonderful medical properties, the existence and value of which have heretofore been unknown to medical science. After much labor and scientific investigation, we have succeeded in extracting its peculiar medicinal principles, which is a specific and cure for all diseases of the Liver, Stomach and Bowels; a permanent cure for Dyspepsia, Spleen, Indigestion, Constipation, Jaundice, and all Bilious Complaints. Of course we cannot send a living flower of this plant to all who read of Hepfitine; butall who send their address to Merrell ifc Couden, Philadelphia, Pa., with a three-cent stamp for return postage, we will send free a facsimile of the flower, that will change its color just the same as the real Hepatine Flower.

Died?At Johnsville, in Bradley county, Arkansas, June 12th, 1876, Mrs. NANCY THOMPSON, wife of Jason Thompson. The deceased was born in York county, S. C., March 23d, 1847. She was piously educated, and gave herself early to the Saviour by a profession of faith in Him. This profession she kept consistently until her death. While death has been victorious, and the sjrave claimed its victim, yet we hope that the soul is now asleep in Jesus. Although separated on earth, from those who loved her, yet there is another world where families are never sundered, and where there is no more death. She leaves a fond husband, a child, and many relatives and friends sadly mourning over their loss, but let them rejoice that at the resurrection there will he a reunion of hearts, which will never again be separated.
