These young gentlemen have oeen running a cane mill this season, and have made over 3,100 gallons of sor? ghum for their customers. They propose exhlbibiting a sample at the State Fair next week. If they do, we venture they will carry off the premium. Thanks, gentlemen, for the treat . Our good friend, Mr. James A. Carson, of Garvin Township, came in and chatted very pleasantly with us for a short time last Friday. He says the crops are turn? ing out very well in his section. This year he bought a cane mill and has been making sorghum for his neighbors. He thinks that every farmer should plant a Satch of cane, as it -is a paying crop, rom one acre of cane he made 109 gal? lons of sorghum, which is worth 50 cents a gallon. He says it requires little labor "to make it, and that if the early Amber is I planted it can be gathered and made into syrup in August, when the farmers are comparatively idle. Mr. Carson is a pro? gressive young farmer, and his ideas are worthy of consideration by every farmer. On Wednesday of last week Coronor Nance held an inquest ove. the body of Doc.

Last week we gave Bird's (alias Johnson) statement of the affair.^ The. testimony of the wit? nesses before- the Coroner differs some? what from that of Bird's, as will be seen - by the verdict of the Jury of inquest, which is as follows: "D. P. Rice did come to his death at McElroy & Dickson's gin house, at Sandy Springs Grossing on the Blue Ridge Railroad, by a bio'" upon his head with a pine pole, or yark stick for measuring bagging, on the 27th day of October, 1885, by the hands of Mack Bird, who did wilfully and maliciously did kill, against the peace and dignity of the same 8tate aforesaid."

According to announcement, a meeting of the survivors of the First South Caro? lina Regular Brigade was held in the Masonic Hall, this city, last Monday. About twenty-five survivors were pres? ent. The meeting was called to order by \. Mr. E. M. Ambrose. On motion,, Capt. V. F. Martin was elected permanent Chairman, and Mr. A. O. Norris Secretary. On taking the chair, Capt. Martin said it afforded him great pleasure to meet onoe more so many of his old comrades, who are now engaged in the peaceful pur? suits of life, and were secure in homes Erotected by the power of the law. It has een nearly twenty-five years since the tocsin of war, sounded through this land and a fiery mass of liviog valor rushed to arms, and gallantly the beardless boy, the'youth, the middle aged and elderly men, unaccustomed to war, announced themselves ready to repel the invading foe with the unflinching gaze and steady determination of veterans. The speaker then recounted some of the scenes around the "old city by the sea,'-' where the Reg? ulars were engaged from first to last. He said he could dwell for a long time on these scenes of the past, which were so full of sorrowful, yet tender and pleasant, memories. "In the minds of some," con? tinued the speaker, "there appears to be some diiiiculty in reconciling our love for tho Confederacy with our fealty to the Union. When we went into the war we were free and independent States, united together for the purpose of mutual inter? est and mutual protection. We were neyer rebels, and I am surprised that our ladies and others, in writing of the scenes of the war?some day to be compiled into history?should speak of heroes and pa? triots as rebels. When our rights were infringed upon, wo resolved to arms. Whether this was wise or not has been proven by the logic of events, but I be? hoved then-chat our cause was iust, right and holy; I believed it all during the war, and 1 believe it now. * * * We have buried the Confederacy with sorrow and sighing, amidst'a nation's grief, and gallant veterans were not ashamed to shed tears in the hour of disappointment. We have buried her forever. We have ac? cepted the conditions imposed on us in good faith, and intend to devote ourselves to the success and prosperity of our united country with as much earnestness as-we fought'for the South." Capt. Martin was followed by Mr. E. M. Ambrose, who made an excellent ad? dress, in which he, too, recalled to the minds of his old comrades the vivid scenes through which they had passed. His address was more of a history ol the battles the Brigade was engaged in, his descriptions being graphic and entertain? ing. Both addresses were very interesting, aud we regret that our limited space for? bids us publishing both of them in full. On motion, it was decided to hold a Re? union next August, and Messrs. W. T. W. Harrison, Joseph Winter, E. M. Ambrose and D. M. Stevens were appointed as a committee to select the place of meeting and make arrangements for it A com? mittee was also appointed to {rot up a din? ner for the occasion. After passing a resolution of thanks to the several newspapers for publishing the call of the'meeting, and to Mr. Trow bridge for the use of the Hall, the meet? ing adjourned.

Seneca, S. 0., October 30, 18$r>. Mr. Editor : Please ullbrd me a little space to express ray joy at having visited again among my friends and reviewed the scene of former pleasant labors. I don't know that ever in my life have I spent a week more pleasantly than the one iust passed in Anderson. I am gratified at the - Mid, substantial, perma? nent improvemouts going on, which in? dicate that your city is to soon rank among the very first in S. C. Great and wonderful changes for the better, in hand? some business blocks, in fine residences, in opening new streets, in greatly en? larged trade, in excellent schools, have come to be seen since January 5th, 1877, when I first set foot in the town. Your citizens contributed a very great deal to make the visit of my family and myself pleasant and profitable. We had literally to tear ourselves away yester? day, and decline many earnest invitations to remain and visit friends for days to come. How many homes, horses and carriages were put at our disposal, I know not: but many more than we could accept. Such kindness cannot be forgotten. They are little Edens in life's journey. I rejoice that your churches have so much of prosperity in their work. "Schools, Churches and Cemeteries," says Washington Irving, "are a true index to the real status of any people." You have good cause to congratulate yourselves. Nothing was more gratifying to me than to see the large congregation that attend the Baptist Church, to wait on the minis? trations of their pastor. Truly the lines of pastor and congregation are fallen in pleasant places. Let me, through your valuable paper, acknowledge the many kind words and acts shown us by your people, one and all. When I get settled in my new home, I may drop you a-letter now and then. I highly appreciate your paper and for nothing more highly than for its bol'd, outspoken position on prohibition. Respectfully, .War. Henry Strickland. Freaks of a Tornado. Owatonna, Minn., October 28.? About a week ago engine 228 of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Bail way, run by Billy Warren, ran into the station here, and the engineer jumped out upon the platform, stared vacantly about, and fell upon the planks in spasms. Charley Edwards, the fireman, followed Warren, and running into the telegraph office, leaned over the opera? tor's desk, and managed to ask that a message be sent to headquarters in Mil? waukee, saying that a terrible accident had happened to their train. Then, for the first time, the railroad men noticed that there were no cars behind the loco? motive. They began to ply Edwards with ques? tions, and finally elicited from him the information that No. 228 had left Men dota with twelve loaded box cars, three gondolas, tho caboose and a passenger car at 12.30 o'clock. Their run was without incident until they reached Clin-. ton Falls, about fifteen miles from here. Then the sky became cloudy and the rain began to fall. Warr?^r warned the conductor to watch the train closely, as he did not like the appearance of the heavens. Clinton Falls Was soon left be? hind. Off in the northwest the clouds rolled and tumbled over one another, and there were evidences of a terrible wind storm. Warren ran steadily along, occasionally glancing out of the windows of his cab. He suddenly grasped Ed? wards by the arm, and pointing to the place in the sky where the clouds were indulging in their gymnastics, shouted: "It's comiDg, Charley!" : .: j The men could see that the masses of vapor were being drawn into the vortex of a rotary storm, centre. Then tho wind began to move northeastwardly toward the train. Warren put on all the steam he had, and Edwards shovelled in tho coal, until the locomotive groaned like a monster in distress. On they flew, but not.fast enough, as the storm-cloud advanced steadily. Just then: they ap? parently ran into a vacuum, as for a mo? ment they could not breathe. Then the Wind burst upon them. The storm king reached down and picked.up every car in the train. All the freight cars were thrown on their sides in the ditch by the track. The caboose and passenger coach in which there were the conductor, two brakemen and six passengers, were carried into an adjacent field and gently deposited on the ploughed ground. As the telegraph wires were intact it is evident that these cars were lifted at least twenty feet ver? tically and then carried along. Fred Flint, of the St. Paul Globe, who was in the coach, says that no one realized what had been done until they clambered out upon the ground and surveyed the Bcene. No one was injured. The locomotive remained upon the track. Edwards says Warren looked bo hind him but once, and then gazed steadily forward, without saying a word, and heaved a sigh of relief when he reached Owatonna. The shock was so great that it is feared Warren will never renew his duties as engineer. The storm did not touch the earth at any other point. Whipped for Insulting a Woman. A short distance from Lancaster, S. C, last Tuesday, October 20, a white man who bad been peddling clocks was tied up and severely, whipped by two young men for an insult giveu to a young lady. It seems that the peddler had visited Lancaster County a few months ago, selling clocks at exorbitant prices. His cust iera being mostly negroes he took what money they could give him and then made them secure the balance by mortgages on cows, hogs, or anything else the poor negroes had. Last week he returned to Lancaster to collect these mortgages, and while riding through the country stopped at a house where he found a young lady alone. He was very forward in his conduct and unblushingly offered her an insult, whereupon she ran from the house to a field where her two brothers were at work and told them of what had occurred. They hurried to the house, but finding the man gone, they mounted their horses and put out in pursuit of him. It was not long until they came up with him, when they pull? ed him from his buggy, tied him with a line, and throwing the line over the limb of a tree they pulled him up until he tiptoed the ground, pulled off his coat and then larruped him soundly. The clock peddler begged pitifully and offered to give them one hundred dollars besides his horse and buggy if they would not whip him.?Charlotte Observer* ? We once knew of an Augusta man who sent North for a pair of shoes, thinking to save about fifty cents on the bargain. His father returned this an? swer to the application: "You make your living in Augusta. Spend your money th re, like an honest man." ? The Order of Sons of Temperance is making rapid progress in Florida. Three years ago there was not a dozen working divisions in Florida, and the total membership did not exceed 300 all told. Since then eighteen new divisions have been organized and the member? ship is now over 1,000. ? In his argument in behalf of Fer? guson, at Abbeville, last week, W. C. Eenet, Esq., is stated to have said that a man can inherit epilepsy from his step? father.

Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg, 111., says : "Having received so much benefit from Electric Bitters, I feel it my duty to let suffering humanity know it. Have had a running sore on my leg for eight years; my doctors told me I would have to have the bone scraped or leg amputated. I used, instead, three bottles of Electric Bitters and seven boxes Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and my leg is now sound and well."
