best of which I have any knowledge." A strong
testimonial, that, and one which we appreciate.
We are absolutely certain that no better Hour is
made in the United States or Canada than 100
PER CENT., and we are equally sure that there
is no floursold on this market that will compare
with it. Wo sell it at $2.75 per sack?the same
price that others chagre for their best. Why
buy any other ? We also sell tho celebrated DESOTO.
We sell a patent that is about as pood
as other pooplo's best at $2.50 a sack, and wo
have it of all grades, and at prices that will stupefy
competition. If you want one or ten sacks
you cannot afford to buv without consulting us.
IS IT NOT STRANGE ?
It is a well known fact that the average local
dealer will often order goods from tho wholesale
dealer and wait from one to three weeks
for them to arrive when he can save time and
money by buying at homo from a brother merchant.
We will, notwithstanding the acknowledged
truth of the above statement, call tho attention
of dealears to the fact wo will duplicate
wholesale prices on New Orleans Molasses in
any quantity from one to ten barrels.
A CAR LOAD OF CORN.
Notwithstanding the fact that more corn was
raised last year than for many years, still we
find that there is a moderate demand for this
very necessary article and have, therefore, recently
ordered and received a car load a corn.
We have also received a car load of Bran.

best, "that tho bicycles that Sam Grist sells are
aot high grade machines." In reply to tho

on Saturday, the 18th instant. Aaron Hagins,
a negro who lived on Mr. Tillman's r
place, had sued him as to their last settle- t"
^ ment before Trial Justice Howie. After the t
K trial, all the white witnesses and spectators ]
left, and the negroes?four in number?re- i
^ mained. The wife of Hagins got in front of
Tillman and asked him "What about ?
those peas?" He replied that "This is not
the time to talk about peas," and attempted .
to pass her. She hit him in the face and he '
knocked her down. The other negroes <
drew pistols and razors, and Mr. Tillman J
was severely handled, escaping with his life, :
^ only on account of a heavy overcoat. At J

School.
Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. 1
Zadok, March 25.?The Pleasant Grove ]
debating club, on last Thursday night, de- ,
cided that the raising of grain would likely
prove more profitable than the exclusive
raising of cotton. The subject for next I
Thursday is whether the wages or cropper <
system is more advantageous to the landlord.
The subject is one that will admit of
of wide differences of opinion, and much f
edification is expected from its discussion.
The present fine weather is welcomed by
all classes, and particularly by the farmers, (
who are taking advantage of it to get their 1
lands in proper shape for planting.
Quite a number of farmers in this section
have already planted some corn. Indeed some
had planted before the recent snow. .

? Wade Haines, the negro boy who was to
have been hanged in Columbia last Friday for
outraging and murdering Miss Florence
Hornsby some time ago, was respited at the
foot of the gallows by Governor Tillman and l.
the date of the execution postponed until
the 21st of April. Many of those connected
^vith the case believe Haines is innocent, and 1
it is rumored that the governor is in posses- f
sion of the information that will fix the guilt 1
for the crime on a white man whose name .
has not yet been publicly mentioned. There
is no doubt of the fact that there is a deep
mystery surrounding the case. i
? Hon. Augustine Smythe, of Charleston, |
has written to Governor Tillman asking per- t

from this State which were of inter- est
and value, especially the phosphate exhibit.
It is understood that Mr. Smythe and {
other Charleston gentlemen intend to send (
some of these exhibits to Chicago at their i
own expeuse. Governor Tillman yesterday
granted permission to use any of the exhib

? C. P. Townsend, the well-known exRadical

examiner in the land office at a salary of J
$2,500 a year. The appointment was made 1

Butler claims that he signed the petition un- '
der a misapprehension, understanding at the '
time that the applicant was Mr. D. A. .
Townsend, the attorney general, and that
afterward he withdrew his endorsement.
? Senator Irby is not going to allow Editor i
Gonzales to have a consulate if he can help 1
it. He is reported to have expressed him- '

not try to regulate politics. This same senti- 1
