delightful oue.
Mr. Thomas Chalk of this county, died on
Thursday, and was buried on .Friday. Mr.
Thomas Woods and Mr. John Estes were so
low at last accounts that no hope is entertained
of their recovery.
The top piece of the Democratic flag pole,
at this place, was taken down on Saturday
morning. The reason for its removal was .the
fear of its falling and doing some injury. A
portion of the old pole still stands, antj is a
forcible reminder of the stirring and glorious
campaign of last year. Qui.

LETTER FROM BLACK'S STATION.
Black's Station, S. C., September 20.
Our little town, at the present time, is very
quiet. The merchants are preparing to open
their fall stock in anticipation of the approaching
season. We have had several days of
cold wind and heavy rain.
The corn crop of this section is better than
it his been for several years. The cotton
crop is as good as usual for this country, being
very well fruited. The farmers have
commenced picking.
Rev. T. R. Gaines, of Yingling & Gaines,
real estate and immigration agents of New
York city, was here a few days ago, looking
up lands for the settlement of northern emigrants.
He has been the means of settling
along the Air-Line Railroad some of the best
mechanics and farmers, as well as intelligent

the encouragement and patronage of the
Southern people. Mr. Gaines was making
inquiry for talc beds for parties in New York,
who desired to invest in mining this mineral.
It has never been mined for here, but is
found extensively in nature, in mining and
prospecting for other minerals; and the indications
are that it is abundant and very pure.
Talc is soft and greasy to the touch, and
sometimes very much resembles mica. It is
distinguished by the want of elasticity, and by
its unctious touch. It is of a white and green
color, called by some French chalk, but commonly
known as soapstone. Some of the purposes
for which talc is used are for making
pools, gutters ancFmantel-pieces. There is a
bed of talcose plate, sufficiently pure to answer
the same purpose, seen very prominently
at King's Mountain, lying in the direction of
the old Furnace, on King's creek, that must
be very valuable, as it may be cut by the
workman's chisel into any shape that art or
design may suggest.
T a>;il manhnn th? fart that Dlatina. which
A ?I Hi ? - ? g ,
has a value exceeding that of gold, has been
found in this section in small quantities by
parties searching for gold ; but no examination
has been made as to its extent. From
the fact that it is found in the Ural moun'
tains in Europe, and also in South America,
accompanying the itacolumite rock, which
rock exists extensively in this section, it is
probable that the mineral may be here to
some extent.
I could, at this time, name various other
minerals of this section that have been practically
shown by miners and scientific men to
exist, the development of which would be
profitable. Why it has not been done, may
seem strange. It can be answered by the
question?why are we not a manufacturing
people ??having all the resources and facilities.
Why not grow grain and grasses? And
raise stock, wheu we have a soil and climate
well adapted to the purpose ? And fruit and
vegetables, with a spring season several weeks
earlier, and a fall season later, than any part
of the North ? The truth is we are fixed in
a groove that no warning or reasoning will
change us from. Every one will admit the
fact that our agriculture is badly directed,
and that cotton is produced at the exclusion
- * " :?.u
01 articles ol necessity, auu wilu iauui tuai, ia
not cootrolable, while the price of cotton does
not pay the expense of production. Yet our
farmers still seem to devote their energies to
cotton, that they may get credit to make
another crop. Farmers are now procuring
provisions in Charlotte and bonding their expected
cotton crop of 1878. This long stretch
of credit will not do, as cotton, to a certain
extent, has ceased to be such means of resource
to us. A change can only be brought about by
a strong effort, through agricultural societies,
to induce the large laud-holders to sell their
land, or lease it in small lots for twenty-one
years at 10 per cent, on their value, including
the uuimproved as well as the^tillable land.
This will couple labor with intelligence and
proprietorship. This is the only course to
develop a country agriculturally, and these
small farms will be selr-sustaiuing with a
clear gain, and the laud holder will have his
10 per cent, clear, with additional improvements
that will add to their value. Whenever
an agricultural people feed and clothe
themselves, as they are the parents of a country,
the clear gains will be used in manufacturing
and developing the mineral resources.
Until then will all of the mineral and manufacturing
advantages lie idle, as much as we
may say or know of them.
Quite recently a telegraphic wire has been
stretched across from the djipot to the store
of N. W. Hardin & Co. The instrument, at
each end of the wire, is manipulated by the
young Hardins with peculiar aptness. They
befit themselves for whatever the occasion
may require.
The pay and provision train of the AirLine
Railroad passed here the first of the
week for the purpose of paying the employes
of the road. The commissary department
was lower in the prices of provisions than the
same articles could be bought elsewhere. Under
the new administration, the company are
receiving and laying down steel rails, walling
the cattle-guards with stone, ballasting the
road-bed and otherwise putting the road in
first-class order.
Rev. W. L. Browu, pastor of the Baptist
church at this place, during the past week
preached a series of able, instructive sermons
to large and interested congregations. Rev.
J. H. Tillinghast, an Episcopal minister, will
hold services at this place on the fourth and
fifth Sabbaths, at 10 o'clock, A. M. Ego.
LETTER FROSTSEXATOR BUTLER.
Edgefield, S. Cm Sept. 13, 1877.
Capt. James M. Lipscomb, Chappell's Depot,
S. C.:?My Dear Sir?Your letter of the
10th instant was received last night, on my
return from Aikeu Court.
You enclose a letter of September 2, from
Charleston to the New York Sun, writteu, I
presume, by the correspondent of that paper
from Charleston, in which it is made to appear
that I advised the discontinuance of the
prosecutions against the Radical ex-officials,
with sundry other charges, which I cannot repeat
in detail. You say that the reading of
this letter "produced a feeling of horror and
dread throughout the State, and many of your
(my) most devoted political and personal
friends are deeply exercised over it," and beg
me to "brand it in the most public and deci
ded manner."
I proceed to brand it by saying that whoever
says, or intimates, or hints that I have
advised the discontinuance of the said prosecutions
is a liar, and whoever believes it is a
simpleton. Now, I think, the branding part
has been done, and for the publicity I will
have to depend upon you.
This letter to the Sun is written, as I arp informed,
by a Radical ex-official of South Carolina,
now living in Charleston, who got his
position by treachery, sustained himself while
there by duplicity, and having been ousted ou
account of his imbecility and venality, now
seeks to make a living by lying and slander.
The letter which you enclose is a specimen of
his capacity in that line, and one copied in
the Journal of Commerce of the 12th instant,
wherein he refers to ray having purchased a
"State warrant," is another. I never before
heard of 9uch a paper as a "State warrant,"
such as he describes, and the statement is,
therefore, a lie made of whole cloth.
It is bad enough to be villified and traduced
by Radical political traders, but when one
who has tried to do the best he could for the
State and the restoration of good government,
and who feels that while he does not pretend
to have been entirely unselfish, yet he made
some personal sacrifices for the public good,
has to be subjected to.the suspicion of his
friends, who ought to know tbat such statements
are false, is somewhat discouraging.
I do not deny that I have exerted myself
earnestly to secure my seat in the United
States Senate. I have felt that it was my duty
to do so, but I have made no bargains to secure
my election, as you know, and shall make
I none to get my seat. My being seated may
j not help the State in the estimation of some,
but the 8eatiug of my competitor would no
doubt be regarded by all as a public calamity.
If I am to succeed I must be allowed to do so
in my own way, and not turned aside by every
lying scribbler, who sees fit to slander me;
if not, I had better abandon the field, and
either let Corbin take the seat, or some other
Richmond enter the field.
I do not mean by this that I am beyond or
above criticism, but I do mean to say that
suspicions and "dreads," based upon such stuff
as that contained in the enclosed letter to the
Sun, which is false in every essential particular
so far as it relates to me, is disgusting and
absurd. I have had nothing to do with the
prosecutions of the Radical ex-officials. It
is not my business, and I have purposely
avoided all connection with them. I have
expressed my opinion to members of the com
mittee and to Gen. Connor, the attorney-general,
as to the manner of conducting those
prosecutions, and shall exercise that privilege
again whenever my judgment leads me to<lo
so and those gentlemen are willing to hear
me.
I think the committee of investigation and
the attorney-general have done well, and are
entitled to the highest commendations for
their services, but I certainly have a right to
an opinion. My being a Senator elect surely
does not deprive me of this. If it does, the
Senator elect may go, and I will maintain my
right, and if scurvy scribblers misrepresent
my opinions and actions, and friends suspect
or doubt them, why I can only despise the
one and pity the other.
You need not have apologised for having
written me as you have. I should have felt
hurt had you not done so with the information
in your possession. I beg you will give
this letter whatever publicity you think the
occasion requires. Thanking you for your
kindness, I am, very truly, your friend,
M. C. Butler.
As the perfection of entirety depends upon
the perfection of minutite, so no one can hope
for robust health of the entire system if the
blood should become in the lea9t impure. Its
standard of purity is heat maintained by the

THE BEST CLOTHES WASHEB.
SUCCESS ATTAINED AT LAST!
CHEAP AND GOOD.
THE undersigned would respectfully invite the
attention of the people of York county, to
the late and most valuable improvement in
Clothes Washing, Burnell A Crooker's FUNNEL
CLOTHES WASHER, patented July 2nd,
1872, which is now being used throughout the
United States, taking the place of every other
mode af washing, and has proved to be a success
in the saving of time, labor and clothes.
Thousands of testimonials could be produced;
but the subjoined, signed by many of the best
citizens of York county, who have thoroughly
tested the Washer, I deem will be sufficient to 1
satisfy the most incredulous.
Families can save at least from five to twentyfive
dollars a vear by using this Washer. i
Compressed air and suction is the power that
does the work, forcing water through the cloth,
thereby dispensing with all friction, and obviating
the usual wear and tear of the clothes.
It will wash any and every kind of clothing,
from the smallest lace collar to the largest bedrjuilt,
or even the largest and most soiled wagon
sheet, and do it in less than half the time consumed
by the old way. I have the right of York
county, (except Bethesda township,) and also
Chaster township, in Chester county, and will call
on the people, either personally or through my
traveling agents.
Family right, with Washer, $5.00. No right
good unless signed by me. My address, for the
present, is Yorkville, S. C.

RECOMMENDATIONS.
We, the undersigned, do certify that we have
been using, for some time, Burnell <fe Crooker's |
Funnel Clothes Washer. We tlnd it all that it is
recommended to be. We find that it not only
saves time and labor, but does its work thorough- 1
ly and with no injury to the clothes. We unhesitatingly
recommend it to every family as supe- (
rior to any washing machine we have ever seen.
