If that is a correct estimate of tbo cost, it seems to us tbo farmer who plants all cotton and no corn or oats, and who depends on the cotton for evcrj'thing be uses on bis farm, even to the bay and manures, is certainly making a very poor investment. It is only a question of time when ho must prove a failure. Columbia Register: "Among those leg? islators who exhibited the qualities of genuine statesmanship should bo placed Col. J. S. R.

The rain of last Sunday night, or rather Monday morning, was tho heaviest that wo havo ever known to fail in so short a time. It was worse than the familiar ' trash mover and gully wasiior," it was a perfect torrent all over tho country. It was also very desti uctivo to the bottom lands and hill sides. It swept away j bridges on hundreds of farin roads, and quite a number of bridges on public roads wer.- washed away in (ho up country. I Among the most important in Anderson County, are Emm-son's bridgoover Rocky I River, and the bridgoover Bruadaway, on tho road leading from Varentios to Cray tonvillc. Messrs. Cox it Poor, at Tony Creek, were heavy losers by Iho .freshet on Saluda River, washing away ninctoen bales of packed cotton from their gin. Of this amount at last account, they had recovered only twelve. We hope they will secure Iho balance. The rain fell in the night time, but its effects show it to have boon almost without a precedent. It did considerable damage also to the Rlue Ridge Railroad. Capt. John McGrath, whose death we announced last week, was born in Coun? ty Clare. Ireland, on March 17th, 1S27. He came '.o America when quite a young man and worked for sotno years in Penn? sylvania and New York at the trado which ho had acquired of a stone masoit. lie came South just before the war and was engaged in work along the lino of the Blue Ridgo Railroad. He immediately identified himself with the people of South Carolina, and when the war broke out he promptly volunteered for service in Iho Confederate army, entering Com? pany "D," 22nd S. C. Volunteers, as a private. He soon became a Sergeant, then Lieutenant, and in 15G2 was made captain of the conipan}*. This company was in Evans' Brigade and in Longst reel's corps. He was a bravo soldier and was always at his post. In 18(5-1 althe battle of South Mountain, Maryland, he was so sovcrely wounded that ho was assigned to duty in the invalid corps until August 1SG4, when he was made Assistant En? rolling Officer with Capt, B. B. McCreery, at Anderson, S. C, where ho remained to tho close of the war. IIo was engaged in business in Anderson from I860 until his death. Ho was a Warden of tho Town Council during the. years of 1S76-7. Capt. McGrath was an earnest member of tho Catholic Church, and contributed largely of his moans and energy towards tho founding and building of St. Joseph's Cathedral in this City, and was one of its most liberal and earnest supporters up to bis death. A ?ig Find. Tho Seneca Free Press, of last week, says: "A week or two ago a colored man while riding a horse to water on the old Maverick placo, near Pendleton, Ander? son County, found a coin on tho bank of a creek where tho stump of a hickory tree had been underminod by tho caving of the earth. He supposed it to be a big copper cent and roadily sold it to Mr. Gillesp ie, his employer, for a dollar; It was really a twenty dollar gold piece. Mr. Gillespie subsequently dug under the stump with a boo and found seven [other double eagles, maki ng the find altogether $1G0. Some of tho coins were dated ISC 2, which prohibits the idea that they were burled during jtbe war, and destroys an? other theory that thoy had been buried by old Mr. Maverick, who is said by neighborhood tradition to have lost a large quantity of gold in some mysterious way long before'the war. The generally accepted theory is that the money was buried under the hickory tree while it stood, some years ago, by Mr. Gillcspie's father, who is said to have concealed money on several occasions and forgot what ho had done with it."

Call and see it, Xo our Friends and IPmtroras : WE have beon so very busy for the past two months that we have not had time to write a new advertisement. We desire, however, to return our thanks to our friends and customers for their very liberal patronage during the season, notwithstanding we have been wearing our same old clothes, and have been unable to don a new dress. You arc all familiar, no doubt, with the old song of "Big Stock," "Selling out at Cost," and such headings with which the papers are tilled ; and. while we have never claimed to sell at cost, nor to carry the largest stock in the City, yet you have always found our Stock complete, and our prices as low as the lowest. We are here for the purpose of doing a legitimate business. This is our home, and we have no idea of moving to any other clime. We understand the wants of our cus? tomers as well as any one else in the trade, and shall use every opportunity of getting the inside figures and bottom rock discounts on everything we buy, thus enabling up to sell as low as is consistent with fair, square dealing." Now, look around and get all the "Cheap John" prices, then come to us and get full value for your money. We guaran? tee to give it. Now, we have a word to say about what we have already done: You remember about that balance you owe us on Note or Account or for Guano sold you. Well, we have waited patiently until the cotton season is almost over, and must now insist that you come to see us at once, without further delay, and make set? tlement, for if you do not we will be compelled to look after our interest; and it is bet? ter for you to come to see us than for us ;o have to go about through the County en? quiring where you live, because all your neighbors know what a man is after when he travels around enquiring tho way to people's houses at this time of the year. So you had better come on and sec us. Business is business, and friendship and friendly rela? tions are good things to cultivate. We n ust insist upon a strict compliance with the former, while we like also to enjoy tho latter. Remember to call and see us when you want to sell your Cotton.
