It* is desired to place 100 convicts at I work by the 1st October and it is esti mated that it will not take more than live mouths to complete the work to Trenton. When that point is reach-I ed they will receive #9,000 more and ! when Kdgelield is reached #25,000 more. It is estimated that it will cost #2 000 per month to carry on the work, j .Mr. Haddon was accompanied by ; Capt W. W. Williams in calling on the business men of Aiken, and both seemed sanguin of success. The j grading from Aiken to Croft’s mill is j the most difficult work to be done, but it is thought tiie road will soonbe com pleted to Trenton.

Mr. Henry Busch Falso announced as a candidate for ’arden, if elected fetv men would jethe duties of the office as L.*pta!d>! interestiirg matter. Especially do I appreciate the manliness of the lead ing editorial. If adherence to prlnci- : pics defeats a candidate does it speak well for the intelligence and morals of the voters? This leads me to write of the Educa- | tional interests of ourCounty, We have a grand and noble county, some as no- ! hie men and women as ever lived, | But the question, “Are they paving i due regard to the education of their | children? arises. Are not many of our I citizens making working machines of the girls and boys, neglecting theii education, thereby debarring, or rath er depriving them of those opportuni ties which improved would enable then to become such women and men as God would have them, and such as South Carolina would not bo ashamed, hut proud of?

No. Look you at the array of worthy teachers attending the Institute the last two week’s be fore this. See the avidity with which they received every suggestion every exercise and every lecture of Professors Honck and Mack. No, the teachers are struggling hardTor the educational interests of our county. They earnestly and prayerfully desire the children educated. They of all others see the want of education more plainly. They realize more keenly than others, how hard it is to unlearn the child’s improper home education. In many families the children learn to talk so incorrectly that the teacher has a hard time in starting the little fellows. To illus trate what I mean, children are allow ed to use git for get, taken for took, drinked for drank, they lives instead of they live, it do for it does, etc. There are voting men of my acquain- u*ce who have had such poor school opportunities as to renderthem unable to write two lines of an ordinary busi ness letter grammatically because they have been used by their parents as working machines.

Two ot our party who were advance guard were already on the ground and had secured a nice string of the scaly beauties.

The watermelon season is about over, and nearly everybody is worse off than when they began. Watermel ons have proved a poor investment this year, partly on account of the unpro- pitions season and partly from over production. And this too was large ly due to the unfavorable season, which delayed the Georgia crop, until after their season and precipitated the whole Southern crop upon the market in ore huge bulk. Our farmers thought they had found a “bonauza” in the watermelon, but many of them are now utterly disheartened, many have invested largely in land rents, fertilizers and labor and failed to real ize enough to pay for either, while some few have not fared unite so bad ly. I have not the facts and figures to predicate.an assertion upon, but I don’t think it unsafe to say that the melon crop of South Carolina has not paid for the fertilizers used iu its culti i vat ion. i We have had nice weather for gath- 1 ering fodder and the unpleasant job is about fniisned Cotton is looking well, and a fine prospect for peas. Farmers should | now look well to the saving of all the ! crops as they mature.
