took into his employ William Birnie, son of President Birnie, of the old South Carolina Bank. At the outbreak of the war of the rebellion the house was a very wealthy one. Mr. Williams considerably increased its fortunes during the war by ventures in blockade-running, and at the close of the war the concern was regarded as the wealthiest in the entire South. It then consisted of George W. Williams, William Birnie, Edward Williams, a brother of the seuior, and a Mr. Hollingsworth, since dead. Cotton was added permanently to the firms business, and in 1866 the branch house in this city was established, Mr. Edward Williams taking charge. Four years later he retired, and Mr. Birnie manarraw a nnoitinn Ka has since UC/UttlliC IIO U ||/VkJIViVM a*w * ??? ?? ? _ held. Early last winter the great bank failures on the other side, superadded to other general causes, sent cotton down to the lowest point it had reached since the war. The re-action brought with it an active bull speculation based on estimates of a largely increased^ consumption, which has gradually ^ advanced.the price between 5 and 6 cents per pound?1 cent being a very large advance in a commodity which is packed in 500 and 600 pound bales. It is reported that there are persons in this city who count their profits during the past five months as high as 8500,000 each from this source. The New York house of Williams, Birnie & Co., have been persistent bears all through this movement. Mr. Williams, it seems, was not consulted in regard to these speculations, which were carried on on the individual responsibility of Mr. Birnie. At length, unable to obtain satisfactory explanations of the large and repeated drafts upon him for advances to meet margins, Mr. Williams came to this qity, arriving here on Monday. He had a long, and it is reported, a stormy, interview with his New York partner.* The bull movement did not culminate until that day, when, . on reports of short acreage and an unpromising Outlook for the growing crop, an upward x twist of over I cent per pound was given to the staple. This naturally aggravated mat ters. Yesterday, when astui iurtner auvauce of I cent per pound was made, Mr. Williams lost patience, refused further advances, and ordered a suspension for the purpose of clearing up and closing out the outstanding contracts of the firm. Mr. Williams said yesterday afternoon that all the liabilities out\ side of those due on the contracts in the Ex* , change would be paid by him on presentation, he having brought on with him $150,000 in Government bonds for that purpose, and that all other differences would also be. paid in full as soon as the contracts should be disposed of under the rules, and the amounts determined by the Exchange. He intimated, however, that Mr. Birnie would suffer, a remark which was sufficiently explained by the announcement that the firm had taken formal proceedings towards dissolution, that gentleman retiring. The total liabilities are stated at $315,1)00, of which $100,000 is due on differences, the number of bales involved being about 50,000. The smaller houses having dealings with the firm kept a very close demand upon*thera for margins, and these were promptly met. Some of the larger houses, however, relying on the firm's standing, were not so pressing, and the greater part of the speculative indebtedness will fall upon two concerns?E. J. Donnell, $30,000, and Lehman Brothers, between $40,000 and $45,000. Mr. Williams' private fortune is estimated at . $2,000,000, and no apprehensions are entertained that his promises will not be promptly met. It is believed that the average settling price will be on the basis of 14 cents for July, or five points below yesterday's closing quotations. ^ KING'S MOUNTAIN CENTENNIAL. King's Mountain, N.

Mauney, Secretaries. t&" In 1818 thirteen men gathered together, thirteen prayers were said and thirteen dollars subscribed for the commencement of a place of learning for those of the Baptist S' faith?and then the thirteen men all went home. To-day Madison University, New York, owns all its buildings and 160 acres of land, in a beautiful part of the country. It has a fine library, no debts, and between 8400,000 and 8500,000 drawing interest. To ignore the warning of approaching dis ease is neither cautious nor safe. Prudence would suggest the immediate use of a good preventive remedy, such as Dr. Bull's Baltimore Pills, which eradicate at once all symp toms of bilious diseases. ^financial aitb Commercial.

There are thousands of homes to-day in our sunny Southland that would be rendered happier by the presence of a fine new Piano or an Organ. We want to fill such homes with instruments, and we mean to do it if we live long enough. One of the methods by which we shall in due time be represented (by our instruments) in every Southern home of culture, is through our Grand Introduction Sale of Pianos and Organs, which we inaugurated in November last, and which is so far a magnificent success. Ten of the largest Manufacturers in America have authorized us to place from one to five thousand of their instruments for introduction and advertisement in representative Southern homes at Agents' Wholesale Rates, and we are now placing them in every Southern State just as fast as steam can carry them. Such an opportunity to secure standard Instruments from such celebrated manufacturers as Chickering, Weber, Knabe, Hallet A Davis, Mathusbek, Southern Gem, Dixie, Mason A Hamlin and Peloubet & Pelton never has occurred before and never will again unless we offer it. It is the only sale of the kind ever carried out in the United States. Headers of this notice who have not yet purchased instruments are requested to write to us for our Introduction Sale Circular and Special Offers.

In the church of Little Steel Creek, in Mecklenburg county, North Carolina, on the 2nd of April, 1879, died very suddenly, of heart disease, Mr. H. CLARK HARRIS, of York county, S. C. In this brief sketch of the deceased, it is not our purpose, as is too often the case, to eulogize the aeaa, forjudging from the man's tenor of life, doubtless this has been done by the sacramental host of heaven, but lor the comfort of ar?H nthora who mav nsrehance view these lines, we will speak of only a few traits of his character?a character worthy of imitation?of traits worthy of emulation. He was in the 59th year of his age. He was the son of Col. Hugh Harris, a man, in his day, of noble parts. He was happily married to Miss Jane M. Harris, on the 22nd of December, 1841, a daughter of Col. James M. Harris, with whom the married life was indeed a fountain from whence flowed all the sweets of domestic bliss. What were his noble traits ? He was an obedient boy, studying well the infirmities of his aged parents. As a husband, he was kind, forbearing and a true sympathizer with all the cares of his faithful helpmeet. In health providing tor her welfare, in sickness casting around her his watchful arm, and in death preserving life's extinguishing lamp. As a neighbor, he was ever obliging, ever ready to help the poor, and the disconsolate widow. In sickness Mr. Harris was ever ready to give his assistance. As a citizen he was true to his country, and his country's call. He was a lover of the'late "Lost Cause," aiding both by his services and his substance. As a father he was kind and genial, enjoying with his children all the amusements of childhood. But these traits, though commendable, shine with dim lustre iu comparison to his Christian character. Truly, religion "caused his face to shine." By birth, raising.and principle, he was an A. R. Presbyterian. His meat ana his drink was to do bis master's will. He was devoted to the doctrines of his branch of the church ; he delighted in her songs of praise, and her form of government, yet he was not a bigot?his was a catholic religion. Where he saw the image of his Master, there he met a brother, and could bid him God-speed heavenward. With him religion was a livinc. real nrinciole. and notamere fancy. As an officer of the church, he was well reported of by those without. He was careful of the wants of his minister; ready by his counsel, his means and his walk, to render him all the needed assistance he could. In Israel, almost in the twinkling of an eye, in the very sacred spot, where he had so often raised his voice in praise to God, he was bid to come up higher. Of him I think we can truly say, "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth ; vea saith the spirit, that they may rest from their iabors, and their works do follow them." Of him we can truly sing: "How blest the righteous when he dies." The boy, husband, father, neighbor and Christian man to earth, personally, is no more, for God has taken him. Weeping ones, dry up your tears, your loss is father's gain. He can come no more from the church?the church of the j first-born, but you can go to him, and his and | your loved ones are already at rest beneath the shadow of the trees. A Fbiend.
