"A pleasant contrast was the energetic V action of Adjutant General Drum, the ? Acting Secretary of War. The engineers he sent down wereoi incalculable benefit, not only in determining what buildings ? ?/.vtete: unsafe, but which ones, though they look unsafe, were not so.

It is in marked contrast with ^-4he-- action of other presidents under '. similar circumstances. At the time of .. the great Chicago fire, President Grant ? not only expressed the sympathy of the people for the sufferers, but forwarded to T^tbem his personal contribution of one thousand dollars. It does not look well to see the Democratic President pay no attentionjn words or deeds to the calam ?Jties of our people, bat remain off from ; "-duty, hunting personal pleasure in the - mountains. Senators Butler and Hamp? ton might also well afford to explain the & rea?ma of their prolonged and marked silence under such circumstances. Atlanta Prohibition. BPp! Anderson, 8. C, Sept. 29, 1886. ? Mr. Editor: Having recently spent 7'. two weeks in Atlanta, the imperial city . of Georgia, I think I have spied out : ' some of the main secrets of her wonder % fdl progress and greatness. It is a long r1 and.wcll established fact that as a peoples , are in their moral tone and driving brain power, so will be the development of the . city or country which they inhabit and control. K - As far as I could gather from the actions, talk and work of Atlanta's best citizens, (I need not mention names,) I judge her controlling spirits are upright, ereet-walking, godly men. Most all are men of wealth accumulated by their own industry. Tbey all believe in Atlanta, and when anything is to be done for the common weal they all with one accord . cover it with their checks', and whatever the enterprise, it immediately takes form > "and. proportion. Recently a new crystal ization has cast prismatic colors on her "trestle board"?"The Atlanta Mann ? facturerV Association"?composed of the . ' most substantial citizens, whose object is - the higher development of her manufac? turing, interests, by inducing worthy, .' brainy mechanics to come there and *dt % ;th^ powers "take giant ahape." And ^f/o0nd;*er% and sUllful in whatever l^rjeoial line, this Aao^ation will back them up with substantial aid. This term worthy, means development of manhood in comely, moral and meutal attainments.' These big-hearted Allan tian* are con* stantly on the alert for strangers coming into the city, especially young men are watched and sized up, and if one is found with the right grit and pluck, he is soon s it up and encouraged. So every detail thai tends to promote city growth is diligently looked after by those city fathers. Greay heads are honored there. But Atlanta's grandest achievement, that makes her "fames one of the few, the immortal names," was her recent giant effort in putting forth all her moral pow? ers?all her reserved powers of mind and sou! to procure her divine right to Pro? hibition. Not her vaulted halls, not her ' paved streets, not ber spired churches, not her terraced gardens, not her bumming factories, not her railroads, nor anything she has done, give her greater prestige than this greatest of all her triumphs, being the first great city of all Southland to-put her foot upon the neck of that old dragon that has for ages been sucking the life blood from the sons of men. How she ad it remains the mystery of mysteries Before I went there I had heard various reports about how Prohi? bition had affected Atlanta. Some said her trade had been cut off one half, and hundreds of business men bad left there, and some said one thing and some anoth? er. But I saw nothing that indicated de? cline in any business but the whiskey and drinking business, and the Brewers were raising a howl. I saw very few shops unoccupied, and they were old whiskey shops undergoing cleaning and repairs, making ready to become decent stores, ant.' I suppose if there had been no demand for them the owners would hardly be expending money on dead prop? erty. Truth is, the money once expend? ed for drink will now be spent for bread and family comfort?, books and educa? tion. ' Those Atlantians seem to have a merry ha! ha 1 humor about them?quite re? freshing. They bad a good joke on the ."Antis" going the rounds, to the effect that the barkers were charging them (the antis) double price for shaving, be? cause their faces had grown so long mourning over "the ruin of Atlanta" j that it took double work to shave them. Very respectfully, ? - ^ B. F. B. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. 0., Oct. 2, 1886. The 28th of September has passed, and. Washington still looms up in all her beauty, although about midnight of that day the people were awakened from their slumbers by a howling wind that sounded like the approach of a destructive cyclone. It continued for nearly an hour and was followed by a heavy rain fall, but in the morning everybody found a bright and peaceful sky and cool and bracing tem? perature. The delightful temperature, clean streets, beautiful parks and handsome residences completely charmed our visit? ing brethren of capitular masonry, and made them loth to leave tbe Capital City. On Wednesday in numbers of 200, accompanied by fifty ladies, repre? senting all sections of the country from Maine to California, the deliberative body assailed the President, who accorded them, a special reception and gave each member a hearty shake of tbe band. The banquet on Wednesday night was attended by 3d companions and their wives, and was one of the most elaborate set outs, complete in all its details, ever given in Washington. The visitors, after electing Noble D. Larner, of the District, General Grand High Priest to serve for the next three years, wound up tbe round of pleasure on Friday, and departed for their homes delighted with their week's sojourn at the Capital of their ! country. Secretary Iimar endeavors always to carry out the spirit of the laws without looking through a microscope to find some technically fine point on which to defeat the intention of our legislators, and, in keeping with this spirit has revers? ed the decision of Commissioner Black and granted the claim of the widow of Dr. Pavy, of Greely Arctic expedition fame, based upon the act of Congress allowing her a pension of $17 a month. The office refused the claim on the ground that the doctor was not in the service of the United States at tbe time of his death, but the Secretary held that being under the orders of an army officer he was by a liberal construction in tbe em? ploy of the government and entitled to the pension. Tbe stories about the Monument set? tling out of plumb seem not to have had the desired effect of deterring . people from climbing to its top. During the past month 2,800 people ascended to tbe top, and since April 10,000 have made the same fatiguing journey. The hydrographic office is in possession of considerable matter showing the efficiency of o<l in quieting tbe waves i during a storm, and will soon publish it j in pamphlet form for the benefit of mar j iners. The reports all show that vegeta? ble or fish oil produces the best results, and that no instauce of failure is recorded j where such oils were used, although j kerosene or lighter oils have sometimes failed. - The new government printer is making sweeping discharges in his office?over two hundred employees having been already dismissed and others are soon to follow. Tbe reduction in force however will only be temporary, as Congress will assemble in two months and then the men will have to work both day and night to keep up the work. Of course when the force is increased Democrats will be given the preference, as tbe civil service rules do not apply to that branch of the service. Two hundred men were discharged from the Wasbirgton Navy Yard last week, made necessary by converting the yard into an ordnance foundry. The plant of the equipment bureau will be transferred to the Boston yard, that of tbe construction bureau to New York, and the steam engineering to^ Norfolk. The machinery for use in making ordnance will be put in place as fast as possible, but it will be some time before work in making the ordnance can com? mence. H. ? Captain Robert W. Audrews, tho veteran tramp who bails from Sumter, South Carolina, is in Boston. He is ninety six years old, and has tramped more than seven thousand miles. The captain is a very tall man, straight as an arrow, with laug gray beard and mus? tache, and with iron gray hair. He has a wife and eight-children, is grand? father of forty-si:-, children, and has one great-great grand-child. In his travels, of late years, the captain has been ac? companied by a ?mall dog that he calls Fido. The old man intends to publish an account of ^';^*^m^^^^^^ Crawford's Cnrions Cotton. Columbia, S. O, September 26.? Jost beyond tbe Northern confines of Columbia, Mr. James M. Crawford's model twelve acre farm is situated. Tbe land is under tbe highest possible state of cultivation and is worth at least $1,000 an acre. No matter how disastrous the seasons may be, Mr. Crawford never fails to make a good crop. His reputation as a scientific farmer is not confined to South Carolina, but extends wherever "Craw? ford's premium cotton" is known. This cotton is the most prolific in the world. Three five hundred-pound bales have been raised by Mr. Crawford on one acre. In bis five acre cotton patch there are many stalks which contain from 350 to 400 bolls. One of these stalks?only an average one?was taken to the agricultu? ral department a few days ago, and the bolls were counted by Major Luther Ransom, who found that it contained 312. In Texas a planter has a stalk of this cotton which is weighed down by 960 perfectly formed bolls. A representative of the Vonstitution, in company with Mr. Crawford, visited bis model farm yester? day afternoon and Was astonished at what be saw. Never before bad he Been such a field of cotton. The bushes are verita? ble trees containing numerous strong limbs, each one of which is plentifully fruited with big round bolls. The stalks are so close together as to intertwine, presenting the appearance of an unbrok? en surface of green and white. Many of the stalks are over six feet in height. Mr. Crawford was asked if he had not used very large quantities of fertilizers, and he replied that he had used none at all. Owing to tbe unfavorable season the yield this year will not equal that of several previous years. On this five-acre patch not more than ten bales will be made; under more favorable conditions fifteen might have been produced. In addition to his peerless cotton, Mr. Craw? ford raises a great variety of products, and makes an excellent living on this small farm. ? Among the historic buildings in Charleston destroyed by tbe earthquake was the house in which General Francis Marion escaped from General Tarleton during the Revolutionary War. The house was located on Tradd street, and was one of the relics of colonial days. It has passed through the hands of a great many owners since it was first built, out the exterior of the building was never changed. During the late war the house was a target for shell from the gunboats, but was not materially damaged. . . A COUNTY IS CAROLINA. j Bich im Hospitality, Beauty and Produc? tiveness. Correspondence Augusta Clironiclc. , Anderson, S. C, Sept. 30. The term "ancient" is here used advi? sedly, and not altogether from an Ameri? can standpoint. "Evergreen" is the name of a fine old country seat in Ander? son County, S. C, about fifteen miles from Anderson City, and four from the Savannah River, and is tbe residence of Elias John Earle, Esq. It was the family homestead, and in ante-bellum days, un? der tbe old regime akin to the feudal sys? tem of baron and vassal, was the scene of many festive gatherings, of sumptuous feasts and unstinted hospitality. On the afternoon of the 25th a kind friend (Mrs. S. Bleckley), who had planned the de? lightful jaunt, came by for me at Oak burst, and We set oat, a merry party of four. Taking the old Abbeville road, our way lay through an interesting section of level stretches of well cultivated fields of cotton and corn, alternating with finely timbered land?the forest growth consist? ing chiefly of pine, hickory, walnut, ash, poplar (Tulipifera liriodendron), locust, persimmon, gum and splendid oaks. Indeed, Anderson County is conspicuous for its magnificent groves of oak, and . abounds in many species. Tbe water oak is a deservedly popular shade tree, and. when transplanted in tbe grounds about tbe dwelling or along tbe streets becomes a very handsome and symmetrical object, tbe dense, dark green foliage having a fine and pleasing effect. Comfortable looking farmhouses, sur? rounded by thrifty gardens and orchards, and cosy negro cottages dotted the lands? cape on every side. Now and then we passed a rural church and school house and a country store. A few miles out from A. is "Mt. Tabor," an extensive negro burying ground. Several miles further on is "Mt. Sinai," a campground of the colored Methodists, well appointed in its commodious church and large "stand," ander which the hosts assemble .for worship when the church building is inadequate to accommodate the throngs during campmeeting. Grouped about the stand and church, at a convenient distance, were about fifty 'rude huts or shanties, constructed of scantlings and pine saplings, and used for sleeping quarters during tbe annual camping season. All along tbe route tbe wild asters or "Michaelmas daises," beliantbus and golden rods sbone resplendent. The solid a goes were particularly noticeable for tbeir luxuriant growth and branching, shrub-Iike character; tbeir large pannioles of gorgeous blooms lighting up tbe road? sides and fallow fields with a golden glory. IN ear a clear, rollicking brook a patch of cattails, tall, stiff and stately, lifted their tufted heads, lending an artistic air to a bit of fen land. Had tbere been only a solemn stork standing on one leg in med? itative mood among the in, tbe picture of the familiar design would have been complete. A bold, pretty stream, which had once turned the busy wheels of the famous Evergreen mills, was then eucountered. This we forded, allowing the horses to slake tbeir thiist from tbe bright waters sweeping away in swift, graceful currents beneath the overhanging sycamores and willows. Tbe country now became more broken and rugged, and with tbe steep inclines of tbe bigbway, and tbe knolls and ridges rising on tbe distance,-quite took on a mountainous appearance. At twilight, ere we reached tbe gate of Evergreen, there stood awaiting us the hospitable host and hostess, with tbeir sweet daughters and sturdy sons, ready to give us greeting and a cordial welcome. We were soon invested with a hearty home feeling and led to supper, where a good appetite and a happy now of spirits accompanied tbe cheerful evening meal. Returning to the parlor we were favored with some delightful music on the violin by one of the yonng ladies. After the late earthquake was talked over, (still the engrossing topic everywhere, it seems,) the cyclone, which deyastated a portion of tbe county last February, was discussed. We passed through a section of its track in going out to Evergreen, where the sites of several dwelling houses were pointed out which had been totally destroyed by its fury. Some startling accounts were given of its terrific force. It was said that such was the power of the wliirlwjnd that tor? rents of rain down hillsides were often driven back upward with such might us to erode them into channels. That the water was swept out of mill dams and their basins left empty; that the waters were blown out of the Savannah River and numbers of fish scattered on its banks! There is ever but one step from the sublime to tbe ridiculous. A little girl was born during the raging of the storm, and in commemoration of tbe event was named Cyclonia i My facetious cousin, Lizzie B., suggested that one of tho baby boys, born during the recent convulsion of nature, should be chris? tened Earthquake}-! Notwithstanding, the baleful Wiggins predictions to the contrary, that, night, the next day, and so on down to date, were as calm and tranquil as the most timorous heart could wish. Tho 29th of September was especially peaceful and unperturbed of meteorological distur? bance, and, with the kind attentions of the family, the entertaining conversation of our genial host and his brother, the doctor, the boys' offerings from orchard and woods in baskets of rosy apples and !>urple muscadines, the day was tuorougb y enjoyed and long to be remembered. A curious specimen of maize was ex? hibited?a tall, branching variety, having four or five lateral stalks springing at in? tervals along the side of tbe main one, each of which bore oue or two fully de? veloped ears of corn. E. L. H. W. C. A. Heed, Agt., has just fitted up a Parlor for the exhibition of all the favor? ite makes of Sewing Machines.

Mr. Wm. Thomas, of Newton, la., says: "My wife lias been seriously affected with a cough for twenty-five years, and this spring more severely than over before. She had used many remedies without relief, and being urged to try Dr. King's New Discovery, did so, with most gratify? ing results. The first bottle relieved her very much, and the second bottle has absolutely cured her. She has not had so good health for thirty years." Trial Bottles Free at Hill Bros. Drug Store.

It is also undeniable that the lands in this country are as. well adapted to the cultiva? tion of these grasses as those of any coun? try in the world. How our people can give their whole attention to cotton and buy their little bundle of Hay in the West, is a question that it is not now necessary to dis? cuss. Suffice to say that a great many are already alive to the necessity of raising their own forage, and others are fast wa? king up, and that we, who have always one eye to the interest of the people, and the other eye to our own, have supplied our? selves, and are prepared to furnish our friends with all kinds of Grass Seed.

We get up sooner, sit up later, work harder, and have fewer holi? days than the Guano or Grocery man ; and if our Drugs don't cost anything, we need our money to send to earthquake sufferers, buy a few clothes with, and pay the preach? er.
