IT2MS-ELIT0EIAL. AND OTHERWISE. t ? The Colored Agricultural Fair iu Abbe? ville was. a great success. ? Hon. A. H. Stephens wants "cheap sugar and cigara" throughthe acquisition of Cuba. ? Jay Cooke & Cb^ of Philadelphia, have been declared bankrupts, upon the petition of sundry creditors. ? It is said that Mr. Elaine is already in the field as a candidate for the Republican nomination for the Presidency in 1876. ? The Governor has appointed Dr. S. B. Thompson as Assistant Physician at the Luna? tic Asylum, in place of Dr. Henry N. Sloan, resigned. ? The reduction of wages in all the mills, factories, founderies, :rurnaces and shops throuj^out the country will average about 20 per cent. ? In the Supreme Court last week, Hon. Armistead-Burs read an elaborate and beautiful memorial'in honor of the late Judge D. L. Wardtaw. - _ ? The Colunabia Unim Herald says that "the spirit: of retrenchment and reform is abroad in the land." It certainly is not at home in South Carolina. ? The Worldngmen's Central Council, of] Kanssts, have;made a demand that-State or natiorial fmprovements on' a grand scale be inaugurated to furnish-work for the unemploy? ed laborers during the winter. ? The cotton and woolen manufactory of J Campbell & Elliott, in Philadelphia, which usually employs 600 hands, has closed up en? tirely.* and, unless a favorable change takes place in'thehirjGes, will remain closed all win? ter. ? Mr. John M. Morris, editor of the Wash? ington Chronicle, died in that city on Friday night He was formerly the editor of the Charleston Republican, and for several years past has been the executive clerk of the Uni? ted States Senate. ? Nearly three thousand hands have been thrown out of employment in Troy, N. Y.,and will probably remain idle during the winter, while those fortunate enough to be retained are working mostly on three-quarters time, and at wages reduced from 15 to 25 per cent, below the regular price. ? It appears that in Northwestern Iowa, which borders upon the arid Great Plains, and particularly in the Counties of Lyon and Os ceola, the suffering among the people has been very severe for lack of the actual necessities of j life, caused by the utter failure of grain there last summer. It is even said that several wo? men have died in the destitute district from actual starvation. ? Bacon, of the Edgefield Advertiser, gets off the following on the cotton mania: "Our joys and our sorrows, our weal and our woe, are all mixed with cotton. It is strange that half the infants in the South are not born* marked with cotton<-some with bales, and some with Gullet gins, some with the cater? pillar, some with copies of liens, and some with Dickson's Compound." ? In the United States Circuit Court, now in session at Columbia, the grand jury has found a true bill against W. Magill Fleming, the Solicitor of the Sixth Circuit, for embezzle? ment of public funds. It is alleged that the offence was committed two or three years ago, when Fleming was a deputy collector of inter? nal revenue. The amount of embezzlement is two or three thousand dollars. . ? Hon. Nathaniel Boyden,_pne of the Asso? ciate Justices of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, died at his home in Salisbury, on the 20th of November, after a long and painful illness, at an advanced age. Judge Boyden was the Conservative member of Congress from that district in 1S?S. Soon'after he joined the Republican party, and was appointed Associate Justice of the Supreme Court to fill a vacancy. ? Senator Morton has a bill which he pro? poses to introduce immediately on the meet? ing of the Senate, to repeal the bankrupt act, aad to make its repeal cover all cases under it since ;he financial troubles commenced in Sep? tember. He pronounces the involuntary clause in it ass now being used to an infamous pro? vision and anti-Republican in its character. He expects to carry the repeal of the bill without opposition. ? The Forty-Third Congress assembled in Washington on Monday last This will be the first session under the new and increased ap? portionment in the House of Representatives, making the uumber of members 292. The Ad? ministration will bold 195 seats, giving it a majority of 98. The opposition will be in a greater minority than iu the last Congress, as it then numbered 111 members out of 243, and now Jhere are bnt 97 Democrats and Liberals in a total of 292. ? TheNew York Herald says: "There is one good, if nothing more, likely to result from the present imbroglio with Spain. We refer to the resoration of kindly feeling between the Northern and Southern portions of the country, even to the obliteration to some extent of the deeply drawn lines created by our war for the Umou. If this desideratum should be fully accomplished the troubles arising out of our complications with Spain will be amply re? paid." ? During the approaching session of Con? gress attempts will be made to secure addition? al revenue from taxation. Among the articles talked of for taxation are tea and coffee, and for increase are distilled spirits and tobacco. The restoration of the tax upon tea and coffee would increase the revenue about $18,000,000. It is urged in this connection that coffee is higher to-day than it was when it was placed upon the free list, a result it is claimed which is due to the enhanced export duty levied by the Cuban authorities. An increase of ten cents per gallon upon distilled spirits, and of j four cents per pound upon tobacco, would yield an additional revenue of about $7,000, 000. Sale of Personal Property.

AT the Vienna Exhibition, the SINGER re? ceived the Modal of Merit, the Medal of Progress, and three other Medals for superiori? ty of productions. These are the highest Scioing Machine awards at Vienna. The Singer re? ceived all the Medals awarded to either of the competing machines, and two Medals more than any other obtained. Then, in the name of truth, what is it that prompts people to claim recom? mendations for the Diploma of Honor ? The fact is, no Diploma of Honor has been given to any Sewing Machine Company. But immeas? urably more valuable is "The World's Award," as shown by sales?proved by sworn returns to the owners of the principal Sewing Machine Patents?which last year amounted to 219,758 Machines, nine out of ten of them being for family nso. This is over 45,000 more Sewing Machines than were sold by any other company during the same period, and over one-quarter of all the Machines sold in 1872. These enor? mous sales are owing to tho long-tested merits of the SINGER Machines, which meet tho wants of the public in superiority and simplici? ty of construction, and capability for great va? riety and excellence of work. It is remarkable not only for the range and variety of its sewing, but also for the variety and different kinds o:f texture which it will sew with equal facility and perfection, using silk twist, linen or cotton thread, fine or coarse, making tho inter-locked elastic stitch, alike on both sides of the fabric sewn.

October 30, 1873_17 _ THE WHEELER & WILSON SEWING MACHINE TOOK THE PilEMIUH AT THE World's Fair in Vienna. ALSO, AT THE RECENT Anderson and Abbeville Fairs, FOR TWENTY YEARS the standard of oxeellenco throughout the world, the Wheeler <fc Wilson Sewing Machine, with the latest improvements, stands unrivalled. If you think of buying a Sewing Machine, it will pay you to examine the records of those now in use, and profit by experience. The Wheeler tfc Wilson stands alone as the only light running Maoswb, using the Rotarv LTook, making the Lock Stitch, alike on both sides of tho fabric sewed. All shuttle machines waste powor in drawing tho shuttle back after tho stitch is formed, bringing double wear and strain upon both machine and operator; hence, while other machines rapidly wear out, the Wheeler A Wilson lasts a life-time, and provas an economical Investment. Do net bo liovo all that is promised by so-called "cheap" machines ; you should require proof that years of use have tested their value. Monoy'ouco thrown away can not bo recovorod.

IT is as much of an impossibility for a Merchant to carry on his Business without MONEY, as it is for a Farmer or Mechanic to work without Tools. This is a plain fact, and we respectfully beg ieave to urge our friends who are indebt? ed to us for Supplies and Goods of any description to bear this in mind, and to come forward prompt? ly and settle their Bills and Notes. Cotton is at a low price just now, and there is a probability of its j goi?g lower ; therefore, you run a great risk in holding, while you may make money by selling now. It would be much more to our ad? vantage to pay the Planter 20 cts. for his Cotton, (provided we could be safe in so doing,) than to give him the present prices. But you know we cannot have things our way. The Notes you gave us for SIMS' WAGONS are now falling due, and our instructions from the Factory is to urge prompt payment according to your promise.
