It will be seen that ; the difference in area is only a few hun? dred acres. It is certainly encouraging : to see that South Carolina is raising her -own bread,.and the next thing for her to / do is to raise her own meat. The cotton crop of the United States ; ? for the year ended September 1,1888, as "compiled by the Financial Clironick ? amounted :tc-:- 7,017,707 bales, against ' . 6,513,662 bales in 1887, and 6,550,215 v^bales for 1886; Of the crop of 1888 "there was exported 4,638,981 bales, while spinners took 2,230,294 bales, leaving a stock on hand - of 181,225 bales. The ^largest previous crop was that of 1882-83, %hich amounted to 6,992,230 bales. Artificial silk is the latest discovery, and judging from the details of it that are at hand, it'seems likely that the silk . worm's occupation will soon begone, and that he may^rctire to his cocoon and .lament his lost , importance in silence. The new material is made, we are told, from a kind of collodion to which .has :. -been. added perchloride of iron and tan-. J^aric^acid. The process of manufacture is - ;SOm'ewhat complicated, but the result " seems to be all that can be desired in the way of. providing a substance practically . equal to good silk. Representative Springer, of Illinois, ; returned tQ Washington last week, after ;-;?n absence bf Beveral weeks, and is very enthusiastic over the outlook in his State. ^^TEe, prospects for. Democratic success, - said he to a reporter, "were never bright er; "We have done some splendid cam ^paign work and the tariff issue will help : us imniensoly. I am of the opinion that >we will gain several Congressmen besides : electing our candidate for Governor. As ^ t?;tne.electoral vote of the State, while I ,?^0 not -feel quite so confident "regarding ; it, I would not be surprised if by the . time election day rolls round* we should , .have it ready to turn over to Cleveland vihdThurman." ? ' v The dauTsge by the recent flood of the canal, streets, bridges, warehouses, resi? dences, Btore and merchandise in Augus? ts will-reach one million dollars. No l r estimate' can be made of the damage to farms and crops from Augusta to Savan? nah. The whole country along the river Mwas submerged. It is thought $200^000 f ^will; be required to repair the canal, .7 streets and bridges.- All the railroads heading into the city were'injured and ;f.the cotton mills have shut down,: and .viwill be for a month or so until the breakB t?t?f&9- ca^kt'&ie repaired. More'than a ^^rdozenr persons were drowned in the city. Augusta's citizens are-full of pluck and ;?;.\energy, and have gone to work to repair .damages as fast as posablo. A thoughtful writer calls attention to : the growing willingness of women to go i;: througlrjife unmarried. Once it was considered a bad thing to be an old maid, % and light-minded people made fun of one. /; l?ow-it is different. Some of the bright? est and prettiest women become so much interested in the -erious work of. life that ^' they regard husbands as altogether un v necessary; inconveniences. They are |satisfied with the Btate of single blessed ness, and appear to be just as happy and i|;useful as their married sisters. It is all %right. If a .woman, remains single it is ? her own affair, and outsiders need not ^oucenf themselves about it. As a rule %an old maid is an intellectual and inter? esting woman. ^:The Supreme Court of Tennessee has \'-reieatly'rendered a decision concerning ; the affairs of a trust formed by several ^cotton seed oil companies of that State, . The Court.held that corporations had io authority to form a partnership among ? themselves, and therefore an effort which ' was being made by the oil trust to force ^.recalcatrant company to live up to the H.t(Bf'm3.of its partnership agreement was vain. This is the first decision bearing onr the. illegality of trusts, and while it only covers a small portion of the ground it certainly extends hope to the people that the law wilt soon strike, down the \ gftat trusts which put up prices almost 4.t$U^maddening height and freely spend |r large amounts of their ill-gotten gains to -.crush but honest competition. ??' A dispatch to the Atlanto Constitution, id September 17th, sayB that to remove conflicts of dates with other exposi ros^/?nd falrsTn the South; to avoid iments to travel arising from the mt unprecedented floods; to escape e annoyance of quarantine regulation 'Sat have been established against fever ?: stricken poin s in Florida and several " other localities to which the fever has been carried by refugees, and to repair the great damages done to the streets, - bridges and water power by the late flood ftin. the Savannah river, the board of "V; directors of the Augusta National exposition deem it advisable to defer the ^Pi^Pg-iron-r the 10th of October ^to ^S^ffflher,.

The affliction of yellow fever in Florida will have spent it* force, and by November 8th, the usual coming oj frost will have removed the possibility of infection. It is believed that the conn dence of exhibitors from the north and West will now be greatly strengthened^ and many thousands will be glad to attend the exposition. The manage meat is able to assure the most compltf and valuable industrial exposition ? has ever occurred in the Southea States. The large number of exhi* and important character of lines o iness represented, justify the aasd Exhibitors will be immediately c nicated with and their appro co operation solicited. AFTER THE FLOOD.

There has been great rivalry between the two forces to see which would make the hole first. Last night orders were given by the contractors that small blasts should be used. Just before e night shift of Swedes began work this rning they put in their big blasts, "ere had been given to drill only ten , but the Swedes drilled twenty feet. > hole was nearly through, and the hmen, not knowing that the Swedes d drilled so far, exploded a signal cap ver one of these holes, which exploded the Swedes' blasts. Three hundred pounds of giant powder stored in the vicinity were also exploded. As soon as the smoke cleared away the rescuera en? tered the tunnel and found the remains of nine men scattered all. over the place. The tunnel is 6,100 feet long.

Nebraska City, Neb , September 15. -Two Swedish farmers named ?le John? son and Hans Erickson made a strange ')et on the presidential election to day. A written agreement was drawn up and >laced in the hands of a prominent busi? ness man. Acording to its terms, in the went of Cleveland's election, Mr'. John? son forfeits to Mr. Erickson his wife, Johnson to have and to bold against the awful claims of any and all persons Whatsoever. If, on the other hand, general Harrison, is elected, the agreement stipulates that Mr. Johnson [iball receive from Mr. Erickson one Tersey cow valued at $50. All the parties |o the wager are in earnest, including Mrs. fohnBon, who expresses a hope that Cleveland will be re-elected. Notice to Trespassers.

It W8B during the battle of Gettys? burg that hia friend, just before entering )e actioo, took his canteen from his ioulder and hid it in a crevice in the )ck. Then came the fiery hail of shot ?d shell that swept down regiments like elds of wheat before the reaper. At the lose of tbe battle the soldier forgot all bout the canteen, nor did it ever occur him again until be visited tbe field at Sie late reunion. Then it flashed through is mind, and after a few minutes' search e found it where he had left it on that iomentous day.
