Narrow Escape From Lightning. Mr. W. M. Richardson writes to us from Town Creek, live miles from Aiken, to say that on Saturday, Jul> 11th, his well was struck by lighning the bolt passing through the cover like a ball coursed down the well rope and cdt olTthe bucket, doiug no fur ther damage although only six feet from the house and only twelve feet from where a little girl was lying on a bed. On the first of August, tho firm of Hahn <& Co., will opau at the old stand of Clay A Hines, the largest and host stock of clothing underwear, shoes, hats, etc., ever offered in the Aikou market.

When wheat is to succeed wheat, we recomrnned that as soou as the crop is removed, tho land bo plowed and Sown in peas. If this is clone as ear ly as tllo first of July, the pea pods will Igs browning in the latter part of September and in the first part of October. It is of the highbst impor tance that the peas should nearly mature in the pods before, the crop is turned under. Peas are uncommon ly rich in nitrogenous matter, con taining 50 per cent. more than cereals. The decomposition of this nitrogenous matter furnishes ammonia and niliic acid, the sources of the nitrogen of plants. It is therefore a matter of the highest importance that there should bo no delay, after the wheat is cut, in the sowing of peas. Tho great benefit of turning peas under is lost, if the peas be not pretty well formed. The pods should be browning. When the peas are not fairly mature, the turning un der of the green vines does good, hut only the good that would follow turn ing under any other green vegetation. That the farmer may get the benefit ol ^nitrogenous matter, and hence of ani- jiffiaiiacal ;.en.pounds and the idtrates he u\ust sow the peas in full time for the p\as to form well. In regard to the application of fer tilizers, a few words must be said. The use of fertilizers is in the liaud> of many farmers a haphazard business Some times there is an accidental sue- ces: frequently, ruinous and unnec essary failures. And yet there are general principles well established, which any intelligent farmer may safely and profitably employ. The topic u rider discussion furnishes a good illustration. The great demand of wheat upon the soil is for bone p.uos- phate, or phosphate of lime. 11 we burn HX) pounds of wheat grain, we get two pounds of ash which is madjj up o: nine or ten substances, but the phos phate of lime is half the as.i of wheat. In other words, iu constitutes as largo pur cent, of the ash of wheat as the other seven or Temperance on the Levels. We are requested to state that the Rev. A. Pope Norris has been invited by the citizens of the Levels Church neighborhood to deliver a tempej^mce address at the Levels Church, 2'^ miles from Aiken, at 8o’clock in the eveuiug (sun time) on Saturday be fore the second Sunday in August. The Aiken and Granite vi lie Divis ions are requested to send delegations and the public generally are invited to attend. Mr. Norris is a veteran in the cause aud an eloquent speaker. We hope that a large audience will greet our distinguished friend, and that much good may be accomplished. We acknowledge the receipt of a cor dial invitation to he present and if not providentially prevented shall cer tainly attend. A Dark Youth with a White Name Receives a Blow in the Wrong Place. On Sunday evening last a fight oc curred on Park Avenue between two negro boys, when one rejoice!ng in the surname of White, but in color as black as the slnldcs of Erebus, re ceived a blow the head from a heavy club, which stretched him a limp and senseless mass, and caused a report to spread that a homicide had been committed. Upon investigation we soon learned that tjie youth of Afri- can descent had been^druck on thp in Sunday at the Churches. Tiie usual services were held at St. Thaddeus Episcopal Church witli good congregations in attendance. At the night service, the Rev. E. C. Edgertou delivered u most admirable sermon, oh the force of Example. We are glad to learn that the Sunday- school of tills Church has been greatly increased in numbers by tiie change of its hours, from nineiu the morning, too in the afternoon; aud that a spirit of new life and energy is being in fused, which will make it a graud missionary institution, furnishing young aud old with precious moral and religious food, and supplying re cruits to the Church of Christ. We learn that an entire new library for the use of this school is soou to be ordered. At the Presbyterian Church the usual services were held, the Rev. T. P» Hqy officiating with good congre gations in attendance. At the Baptist Church, the Rev. Lucius Cuthbert preached in the morning a beautiful sermon, from the I words “Thy gentleness hath made me great,” found iu the 35th verse of the isth Psalm, to a large congregation. Mr. Cuthbert’s health is much im proved, and next week he will return from Sullivan’s Island to resume his full pastoral work. There was Sun day-school iu the afternoon, but no service at night. At the Methodist Church there was Sunday-school iu the morning, but no Church service either in the morning or evening, in consequence of the ab sence of the pastor, Rev. W. M. Dun can, who has been compelled in con sequence of ill-health to take a vaca tion. He is now among his relatives in the upper part of tiie State, where we hope he will lie entirely restored by rest and change of scene. wont to Mrs some milk as she was accustom ed to, soon after she got in she was served with her milk. Rev. Taylor came iu as my wife was coming out, she left without saying anything to Rev. Taylor. About ten o’clock Mrs. Small’s sent her adopted daugh ter Emma Mikel! to ask Mrs. Rivers to come to her house, Mrs Rivers ask- ed Emma if the Rev. Taylor was there, if he was there my wife was uot going there. Emma said that Rev. Taylor was not there. Mrs. Rivers went with Emma, she met Mrs. Jane Perry there with Mrs. Smalls, Mrs. Rivers went in they were seated in the hall, after Mrs. Rivers had been seated a few minutes. Rev. Taylor came out of the room and said, you were here this morning and did not speak to me. Mrs. Rivers got up and said to Mrs. Smalls, now Mrs. Smalls I asked Emma was Rev. Tay lor here, and Emma said no that he had gone home, aud had I known that Rev. Taylor was here I would not have come. The door was open Rev. Taylor went to the door nnc closed it saying, you shall not go out that door untill you speak to nie. Mrs. Rivers turned and went through the back door followed by Mrs Smalls, wheu Mrs. Rivers got rounc to the front yard, Rev. Taylor hat come through the frontdoor steppet in front of Mrs. Rivers and seized the gate saying, now she shall not go out of here until she speaks to me. Mrs. Rivers then demanded of Mrs. Smalls to let her out of her promises as she had sent for her. Mrs. Smalls gave no assistance, Mrs. Rivers pushed the gate with all her might three times. Mrs. Jane Perry knowing the condi tion of Mrs. Rivers health and seeing that it was detrimental to her went THE WHITE POND PROTRACTED M E EYING. Twelve Additions to tho Church and Jfe joj- Kf a to Missions—A Deserved*! Compliment to the Rev. D. M. Ramsey. White Pon d, July 16th, 1385. Editor Aiken Recorder. To continue your account of “The White Pond Protracted Meeting,’’ permit me to say. We had a large con gregation on Sunday night and Mon- lay morning and night, with increas ing interest. But on Tuesday morn ing before the hour of service, the membership of the Church and oth ers could be seen iu every direction, wending their way to the house of God. At 10:30 a. m. a prayer meeting was held, conducted by the pastor Rev. Arthur Buist. A spirited hymn was sung. Brq, Buist read the 122 Pralm, wheu he announced that he wanted three special prayers oflered. thlrt;* percent for their supplies would be enabled to pay up their indebted ness and have some means over with which to make the crop the coming year. And, besides, with tho re'Shlt we first indicated, thereby the indebt edness of scores and scores of men would be greatly reduced or wiped out altogether; and the people would start upon a new career of industry and enterprise, benefited and impro\- ed by the past experience, and buoy ant and hopeful in endeavoring to sur pass all past efforts in the develop ment of their material interests, and in arising to a higher plane of action while work tho country. Our farmers, from almost universal account, have labored with an ener gy in the corn and cotton field worthy of the race to which they be long, and would therefore be prepared properly to use and enjoy such a re turn to their expended efibrts. u, <v r'5-$ich hJ forward and said this will not do, Rev. Taylor I will not have Mrs. Rivers to hurt herself down here for anything and took hold of Rev. Taylor’s hand so that Mrs. Rivers could get out. When I came home from my work my wife told me about her treatment at Mrs. Smalls, and I came to the conclusion that Rev. Taylor Jiad assumed too much authority, for I had forbidden him interfering witli my family or entering my door. I made this state ment in tho church to Rev. Taylor saying if my wife had sent for mo that day, I could have shot him, and that I could give to him or any other man that insulted my family, the benefit of my age to 21 years trom a pistol to a shot-gun, and 1 could cut any man’s iieart out as I would cut the heart out of a watermelon, that insulted or treated my wifeas he has, and unless he apologized I would not step over my wife to shake hands with him. Rev. Taylor charged me with insub ordination and in order to carry Lis atrocious designs into execution, and to predjudice the minds of the people against me, he says that. Elder Jeffer son and* myself wore implicated irj the Hamburg riot in 187(>, and thn Elder Jefferson and myself were th instigators of so many men bein_ murdered, and that we took sides with the Democrats, and since I have been iu town I leave it to the public to judge whether myself and family’s walks have not been peaceful and up right. Fifteen years ago I transfered my membership from the Espicopal Church to the A. M. E. Church, and during that time I have served under twelve different ministers and have found them all to iie Christian gentle- keepa pac : with the rest of the agri cultural w >rld. I exteud to its Editor my best w shes and hope that he will go forwart and reap the honorable re wards that surely await him. The Baptists of Laugley have just closed tho grandest protracted meet ing ever held here, never before did Owl work up and revive his peo ple to sucli an extent here. The pas tor, Rev. Thomas Walker, assisted by Revs. Dr. Burrows, Patterson anil Oliver, of Augusta, Gh., have preach ed for two weeks to a full Church of interested people, and as a result, thirty-five or thirty-six have been added to tl e Church, of whom twen ty-four rec« lived the ordinance of Bap tism on 8u iday Ifith hist, in the pres ence of about eight-hundred wit nesses. I^t Christians rejoice and re turn thanks to their Heavenly Father. The Langley Mills are niiniing on full time and are turning out very fair grades of fioods.

Southern Cultivator. Sweet potato slips or vines set out by the middle of July make the best tabic potato for winter and spring use; they also keep better than those planted earlier. They can be started in very dry weather oy giving a little water. Open hole, insert slip, put just enough dfrt to cover the roots, pour in a gill of water and then fill holcwith loose earth, not pressing it at all. When thus planted, draw the dirt well VP around 4hem to keep heat from the roots and retain mois ture about them. If Rutabagas are to be raised, begin at once to bring the land into line tilth by repeated plowings and bai- rowings. The turnip is an omnivor ous feeder; it wants nitrogen, pofash ami phosphoric acid. -V broad-casting of lot manure to be worketi in the soil by several plowings and harrow- js the best thing to do. At the time of the planting apply superphos phate or bone in the drill; it not, ap ply it broadcast also, but drilling is ruble.. Plantings should begin favorable weather after the middleot July and extend into Au- mi<l. Press the seed in the bottom of dim low drills and cover lightly; if the weather is dry, the tiie seed is all important. Bo is shallow covering; they will not come | up well if covered deep.
