The Survivors of Orr's Regiment of Ri? fles began assembling- at Sandy Springs the evening of the 13th inst. for the pur? pose of holding their annual reunion. The night was spent. in friendly inter? course, and sleep was almost forgotten. On the morning of the 14th, despite the falling' rain, a large concoarse of people assembled to honor and cheer the veter? ans by their presence. Promptly at 11 o'clock Col. G. McD. Miller sailed the meeting to order, and Rev. A. P. Nichol? son led in praper. The following is the order iu which the speeches and addresses occurred: Judge J. J..Norton, Hon. James S. Cothran, Col. G. McD. Miller, Col. R. E. Bowen, of 2nd 8. C. Rifles, Maj. S.~P. Dendy, of 2nd S. C. Rifles, Col. J. B. Sloan, of -1th Regiment, and Col. James L. Orr, of Greenville. The speeches were well delivered to an appreciative audience, and cheer after cheer was given these battle-scarred veter? ans as they told tales of war and devotion. Especially was this the case at the close of Col. Cothran's speech. After the audi? ence subsided every mule on the ground took up the refrain and cheered to the echo.* - Below is a short history of this famous Regiment: Orr's Regiment of Rifles was composed originally of about one thousand and four men ; was organized and mustered into the Confederate service at Sandy Springs, Anderson-County, B. C., July 20th, 1861. The-'term of enlistment was for three years, but finding the war was not likely to close at the expiration ofthat time,-the Regiment promptly volunteered for the ! war at or hear Orange Court House, Va., in 1863. The Regiment was commanded by the following officers: Col. James L. Orr, from July 20tb, 186J, to February, .1862; Col. J. Foster Marshall, from Feb? ruary, 1862, to August* 29th, 1862 ; Col. J. W. Livingston, August, 1862, to Novem? ber, 1862; Col. X W. Perrin, November, 1862, fc> May 3rd, 1863; Col. J.J.Norton, -; Col. F. E. Harrison, May, 1863, -j Col. McD. Miller,?, to April 9th, 1865? The Regiment was engaged in twenty-seven battles, as follows: Seven day's fight, Battles of Richmond, Median icsville, Gaines' Mill, Cold Harbor, Hal? ver n Hill, Frasier's Farm, 2nd Manassas, Ox Hill,' Harper's Ferry, Sharpsburg, Butler's Ford, Eredrioksburg, Chancel lorsville, Gettysburg, Falling Water, Mine Ban, Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Jericho Ford, Riddle's Shop, Deep Bottom, Ream's Station, Jones' Farm, White Oak 'Forks and Southern Station. In the bat? tles of Gaines' Mill, Fredericksburg, 2nd Manassas, Chancellorsyille, Wilderness, Spottsylvania C H. and Jones' Farm the loss to the Regiment was veri severe'of both officers and men. At 2nd Manassas nearly every officer was either killed or wounded. Orr's Begiment was one of the grandest Regiments that went into the Confederate service. It was made up of the . 'best material in tho Piedmont belt. To prove this its survivors, though few in numbers, have been honored with some of the highest offices in the country, both State and National. We note a few Col. James L. Orr was sent as Minister: Plenipotentiary to Russia, and previous to that he served as Governor of South Caro? lina and Judge. J. W. Livingston, B.F. Cray ton, John B. Moore, H. R. Vandiver and R. R Hemphill served in the. Legisla? tive halls of the State. Col. J. S. Cotbran, now member of Congress from the 3rd Congressional District, served as Judge. CoL J. J. Norton is still on the bench. Other Survivors have filled positions of honor and trust. Orr's Begiment served in Anderson's, Gregg's and McGowan's Brigades, Hill's Light Division? Pender. and Wilcox's and; Jackson's .Corps, and A. P. Hill's Army of Northern Virginia. The Regi? ment surrendered with Lee at Appomat tox Court House, Va., April 9th, 1865. ; The Survivor's Association is gaining ground and has come to stay. A resolu? tion setting forth thek determination to meet annually as-long as one is living was passed unanimously. A spirit of cbmbativeness is prevalent in the land. Last week two fights occur? red near here. At a colored night meet? ing, near R. M. Morris, Henry Crawford and Gus. Edwards had a "set to" with knives, resulting in serious injury to both. Henry was stabbed in the groin, and Gus. had. four or five knife thrusts in back and side. One of them reached the "hoUow." Joel Crawford is supposed to be the one that stabbed Gus. while Henry and Gus. were down fighting. The next d ay after the above occurred Henry and Gus. Williams thrashed out George".Whitner at the wood-rack, near Salem crossing! As usual, there is a wo? man in. the c&se. George's wife has been living with Henry this year, and George wanted her to live with him, but Henry refused, and a combat was the result. George had his right arm broken, and was gashed up about the head somewhat. Dr. J. G. Duckworth was called to minis? ter to the wounded in both battles, and at last accounts they are doing well. Something ought to be done to stop this "bullyism" among tho lower class of col? ored people. I am reliably informed that an organization known as "The Rock Throwers" exists and go to .Church with the avowed purpose of hurting some one. Last Saturday this lawless hand sent ont word to some parties if tbey attended the Association at Mountain Spring to bring their coffin and shroud, and they would make the hole and put them into it. Their plan of attack seems to be for one of their number to decoy the person whom they wish to attack away from help, and then he, is set upon with rocks, and sometimes gets a good (or bad) thumping. The following officers elected to serve Sandy Springs Alliance for the ensuing year, were installed last week by J, W. Bow den, the retiring President: Jeptha Harper, President; R. M. Burns, Vice President; A. B. Bowden, Lecturer; B, F. Russell, Assistant Lecturer; J. B. Douthit, Secretary; J. W. McPhail, Treas? urer j W. E. McAliater, Door-Keeper; Jeff. EIrod, Assistant Door Keeper, T. O. Morris, Sergeant-at-arms. Mr. and Mrs. W. T. McGill are visiting friends and relatives in Georgia. Jay. Brosby Creek Items An infant of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Webb died on the 9th inst., and was in? terred at Pisgah the day following. Rev. T. C. Ligon has had the holiness tent moved to Bethesda, where he, as? sisted by several clergymen, is holding a series of meetings. Much interest is manifested, and all denominations are taking part in it. May lasting good be done. Mr. M, V. Vickery has just closed a ten days' singing class at Pisgah Church. The Centennial of Carmel Presbyterian Church was celebrated last Saturday. Rev. J. DeWitt Burkehead preached the Centennial sermon, and a most eloquent and interesting sermon it was. History says Carmel Church has existed 101 years, and is said to be the oldest Church in upper Carolina or Georgia, which is true. The old Stone Church, near Pendleton, comes next. Col. Wm. S. Fickens fur? nished must of the history of the Church. Besides the divine?, there were a number f distinguished persons presen t Among the latter we noticed the handsome face of our Congressman, Hon. J. S. Cothran. The crowd present was estimated at from 300 to 1,000 persons. Mr. Editor, you jould have easily chosen a wife from the many pretty girls present. The ladies of the Church had shown their good taste in the pretty decorations around the pulpit. May Carmel live to celebrate many more Centennials. Rev. A, p. Nicholson preachod on Sun day in the now Church at the Pickens Graveyard, whero Carmel Church was first organized. Crops continue to bo very promising, and the farmers are pulling fodder. A Wild Cat oc some other wild varmint is killing the dogs and frightening the people in this section. Brushy. Mooting of Survivors oi 4th Regiment, S. C. V. At the Reunion of Orr's Regiment, held at Sandy Springs last week, a meeting of the Survivors of the 4th Regiment pres? ent was held and organized by electing Col. J. B. E. Sloan President, and the un? dersigned as Secretary. After a pleasant conference, the follow? ing resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That we accept the invitation extended by Orr's Regiment to meet with the Survivors of that Regiment annually at Sandy SpriDgs. Resolved, That all Survivors of the 4th Regiment be urgently requested to attend these annual meetings, aod that every Survivor be prepared to give all the in? formation possible relative to the living and the dead, with the view of making a complete roster of the Companies of the Regiment. J. B. E. Sloan, Pres. W. W. Humphreys, Sec "Farmer" writes as follows to one of our State papers about the acre of corn of Capt. Z. J. Drake, in Marlboro County, entered in the contest for the $1000 prize: "After enjoying the hospitality of our friend, we went out to behold one of the won? ders of the Nineteenth Century. Doubt? less you have heard talk of things that would 'astonish the natives.' Well, if the sight ofthat acre of corn would not produce the same effect on you, then you may have my hat. We were astonished beyond measure as we ascended the ladder, which the Captain has built for the purpose of a thorough inspection' of the corn. I have seen fine corn in this and other States, especially in the Mis? sissippi bottoms, but I never saw anything compare with it in my observation of over fifty years. The laud selected for the experiment is poor sandy land which I suppose would produce about fivo bushels without manure. There are twenty thousand stalks of com, besides which he has a row of yoimg corn plan? ted between the rows of old corn. Every blade seems to be perfectly green to tho very bottom, I do not remember to have seen a single blade tbat was fired. Tho weight of the corn is so tremendous that it has tobe kept in position by means of slats and ropes on each side of the row?. According to the best of my judgment, the old corn will make from one hun? dred and fifty to two hundred bushels. It will depend upon later developments to determine what will be the result of the late planting. The Captain says five hundred persons have already been to inspect his corn. There is one 'thing very evident to ray mind: If the Captain doesn't 'get there,' he'll make somebody look sharp." In Old Peudleton District. Sitting in the house'nursing my crip? pled leg, I got to ruminating over old times in Carolina when politics ran high. I remember that the Congressional Dis? trict in which were the Counties of An? derson and Old Picke ns was strongly Democratic. Gen. Waddy Thompson was the Whig candidate and an extremely popular man and a smart stomp speaker. The Democrats were fearful he* would be elected, and arranged to have barbecues at Old Pickens and Anderson 0. H. In behalf of their candidate they pe rsua? ded John C. Calhoun to make a speech at each place, the only stump speeches Cal? houn ever made. But his speeches did but little good for the Democratic cadi date. Calboan could always be elected Senator without opposition, and it wan said by some one tbat when Calhoun took a pinch of snuff that all Carolina sneezed. I have forgotten who was the Democratic candidate for Congress. Calhoun made dry, learned speeches, just as though he were speaking in the Senate. Common, uneducated people did not understand much about the sub-treasury or his speech. Waddy Thompson always made rattling speeches, full of fun and anecdotes, pne of which I remember. He said the sub treasury reminded him of an Irishman who'had a lot of poultry, among them was one duck, and when he went out in the morning with his basket of corn to feed them the duck with its broad bill would shovel up most of the corn. Paddy said, "Bedad, an' o'il put ye on footing wid the rest o' thim," and catching the duck trimmed its bill to a sharp point so that it could only pick up one grain at a time. Thompson said this was the way he wanted to Ox the sub treasury, so all could get a share. He rode through the district. Stopping aft a farm house, if the man. was not at home he wonld tell the wife tbat he was Waddy Thompson and candidate for Congress ; would kiss all the children, give each a piece of silver, and tell the lady he was anxious for her husband's influence; sorry he had not bad the pleasure of seeing him, etc. When the farmer returned. hiB wife had no trouble to per? suade him to "go the whole hog" for Thompson. It is useless to say that Waddy Thompson was elected by a good majority. Afterwards he was appointed Minister to Mexico. When the news of his appointment was received at Pendle ton I heard a man say be was much Bur prised, as he did not know that Waddy was a member of church, but that be would make a big preacher 1 Gus. Maverick, a young lawyer from Peudleton, son of Sam Maverick, the richest man in the State, went to Texas before tbat State had gained her indepen? dence from Mexico. Gus, while attend ing a court at a border town, was captured by Mexican raiders and carried to the City ot Mexico, and made 1;o work the streets of the city with a ball and chain attached to hiB leg. Wadcly and old Santa Anna soon became good friends? both were :rond of sport, cockfighting, &c. So Waddy soon got Santa Anna to release Gus aod he was returned to his friends in Texas. When Texas gained her independence Gub owned more land and. cattle than anybody. He collected a lot of cattle and put them on a large island in a river, and never afterwards paid any attention to them, but they in? creased enormously. As they were not branded any person was at liberty to ap? propriate them to his own use; and to this day stray yearlings and calves not branded are called "Maverickfi" and the man who finds them in his he -d puts his *brand on them aod keeps them. Sam Maverick would send by wagon to' Charleston to.be shipped to Clus, strong, rough boxes filled apparently with roots, seed and dirt and marked seeds and roots, but in the middle of the box would be a lot of gold coin fixed so it. wouldn't jingle. The gold was to pay for land.? Old B." in Ilartiuell, Ga., Sun. South Carolina's First Bale. Barxwell, August 19.?Colonel Mike Brown comes to the front again this year with the first bale of the new crop of cotton of South Carolina. It was ginned and shipped to day, weighed 460 pouods and was consigned to F. W. Wagener & Co., of Charleston. Colonel BrowD, on tho farm as every? where else, is one of the most energetic aud pushing men of the State. By sun? rise be is driving over his farm, and when the hours of business open be is at his desk, attending to the affairs of one of the largest business concerns in the State ? Columbia Jieginfer. ? There teems to be no end to the mischief the English sparrow is capable of. One of the little feathered fiends re? cently took up bis residence in a pipe of the organ in the Catholic Cathedral at Louisville, and the organist went nearly crazy beforo it was discovered what kept his instrument out of tune. CRIMES AKD CASUALTIES. La?reks, August 19.?Ben Leonard, a negro, killed bis wife in this County on Saturday by cutting her throat. Ee surrendered to the Sheriff, and Bays he j does not know why he killed her, as they I had had no quarrel. She had another husband and this may have something to do with the case. Charlotte, N. C, August 19.?Prof. W. K. Perry, aeronaut, died last night from injuries received by a terrible fell at Mount Holly jnst nine.days ago. The remains were interred atElmwood Ceme? tery this afternoon. Perry was a mem? ber of the Knights of Honor, aud was buried according to the rites of that or? ganization. Little Rock, August 19.?Forty con? victs, located on a brickyard on the out? skirts of this city, entered into a conspir? acy Saturday to make their escape. Only three of the number were Dervy enough to successfully carry out their plan. During the excitement of the "quilting"hour Saturday afternoon, these three {while men convicted of horse stealing) made a boh fur liberty, jumping the stockade fence in their flight. They were fired upon without effect, but with the aid of blood hounds two were captur? ed iu the vicinity, and the other near Hot Spring, and brought back here. WlLKESBARRE, Pa? August 19 ? Frank Sorenson was fatally injured at Nanticoke, seven miles from thiu city, this morning by a trap which he had arranged to kill thieves. Some one bad been stealing pigeons from tbe barn. Being unable to detect the thieves, he loaded a revolver on Saturday, suspended it from a beam with the muzzle towards the door, and attached line? so that the opening of tbe door would cause the revolver to explode. He was himself the first to try tho trap, and the bullet entered his body just below tbe heart. Sorenson was thirty years old and mar? ried. He iB alive, but will not recover. Wheeling, W. Va., Angust 18.?At a Methodist picnic in Hampshire county yesterday, John Price, a wealthy farmer, aged sixty years, boasted that he could whip any man on the grounds. A. G. Larger;t promptly knocked him down, Sherman Price, his son, drew a revolver and shot Largent dead. A general fight ensued, in which Sherman Price shot and fatally wounded Homer S. Largent, and Daniel Largent, who attempted to avenge their brother's murder. James Alderton attempted to arrest Price and was dan? gerously stabbed. The old man Price was seriously injured in tbe melee. Officers are in pursuit of youDg Price. Albuquerque, N. M., August 14.? Yesterday afternoon the people of Albu? querque were frightened by the raging of a terrible thunder and wind storm preceded by sharp flashes of lightning. Huge whirlwinds of sand came down from the mountains, blinding pedestri? ans. The clouds were heavy and dark but no rain came. Lightning struck the telegraph wires near the freight depot, stunning a number of clerks and knock? ing a pen from the hand of tbe manager of the Gallupulco compaDy in his office near by. A driver and team were killed in Mesa by the same flash of lightning. Memphis, Tenn, August 18.?John Spets was put in jail at Coviogton, Tenn., a day or two ago on tbe charge of horse stealing. Yesterday evening a handsome woman, claiming to be Mrs. Spets, visi? ted the jail, and, Sheriff Smith being ab? sent, tbe turnkey, a polite colored boy, admitted her to the cell of the prisoner. When ready to leave she called the boy, and when be bad unlocked the cell Spets pushed the door against him with such force as to knock him down. The woman then held him while the prisoner made good bis escape through the open jail door, and then took French leave herself. The fugitives have not been captured. Savannah, August 16.?Mark Solo? mon, car inspector for tbe Savannah, Florida and Western Railroad, was ar? rested while at work to day for tbe mur? der of Oscar Newman, four years ago. They were boys about 18 years old, living near Cothran, in the interior of the State. They were teasing each other about a girl. Newman got mad and struck Solo? mon. The latter says he did not stab his friend, but Newman was stabbed during the quarrel, and died in a few days. Solomon has been in Georgia and South Carolina ever since, and says he never changed his name. He also says he is glad he has been arrested, as the dread has been hanging over him, and he has not been free from it in four years. ? There are still over 10,000,000 square miles of unoccupied districts in various heathen lands, where missionaries thus far have never been. ? Gen. Albert Pike, the head of all the Masonic orders and rites in this coun? try, is in his 80th year. He was born in Boston, and was graduated at Harvard, j went West in 1831, served in tbe Mexi? can war, and was a Confederate brigadier in command of the Cherokee Indians. He is an old newspaper man, but has been practicing law in Washington for many years. ? Mrs. Laura Price, living near Mul lins, met with a sad affliction last Friday morning. She had just filled a large tub with boiling water when her little daugh? ter, about 5 years old, who was playing around it, accidently lost her balance and fell head foremost in the tub, scalding herself to death before the agonized mother could take her out. The little girl was a granddaughter of Mr. Henry Price.?Marion Star. ? Mrs. Robert Stephens, who has just returned from Eddyville, tells us that the hair upon the head of W. P. Emerson, who has for years been gray, is now turning black. It ie claimed that no dye has been used to produce the effect, but that it is a freak of nature. Mr.. Emerson removed to Eddy ville from this city about a year ago, and when be left here his head was nearly white. He iB about 60 years of age?i^anZ/orY, Ky., Roundabout. ? A verdict of death from tight lacing comes from a Birmingham jury, express? ed as a verdict "Death from pressure round the waist." The subject was a servant girl who died after a fright, and her death was attributed by the medical witness to tho fact that she was laced too tightly to enable her to stand any sudden emotion. She was a notorious tight lacer, not only at the waist. Her collar fitted so closely that it was impossible to loosen it at the critical moment. Under her corset she wore a tightly buckled belt. ?Chicago Herald. ? Two young men of our town addict? ed to the constant smoking of cigarettes are singularly affected, not BO much in mind as in body. They are becoming spotted all over their bodies, giving them the appearance of leopards. Their minds, though now apparently sound, are in imminent danger, for their ner? vous systems are no affected that neither of them can sleep without smoking sever? al of those abominable cigarettes after retiring.?Harrodsburg, {Ky ) Sayings and Doinys. ? A Philadelphia newsboy recently recovered $20,000 from a street car com? pany for the loss of a leg. His law? yer retained $10,000, having taken the case on condition tbat he should have half the amount recovered. The case has caused quite a discussion among mem? bers of tbe Philadelphia bar on the ethics of contingent fees. It has not always been legal to receive such fees, in Pennsylvania. An old Philadelphia practioner said the other day : "Chief Justice Gibson was responsible for legal? izing tbe practice in this State and I think he did it as a deliberate insult to tbe bar." Anothpr "old time" lawyer said.: "There is nothing mnre demoralizing to the profession and the public than this system of (iontiugent fees. I have heard that many lawyer* have looters out drum? ming up such business just as a commer? cial house would drum up trade. It is an abominable practice. " Many lawyers express themselves as in favor of ret-tor ing the old prohibition uf such feea. ex? cept in cafes where the client would by reason of poverty be without hope of se? curing legal counsel without Agreeing to give a contingent fee. ? Marshal MacMahon, ox pnsidentof France, now in his 81st year, is as fresh as a boy, and has Dover yet had from a 1 natural cauee a day's sjeknees, Bloody Riot in Texas, Austin, Texas, Aug. 17.?Yesterday eveniDg Governor Ross received a dispatch from J. M. Weston, of Richmond, saying that a fight had occurred between the "Jaybirds" and the "Woodpeckers," rival political factions, in which Sheriff Garvey and Deputy Blackeney were killed and several others wounded. The dispatch said that fighting was still in progress and troops were needed. A dispatch from Captain Reichardt of the Houston Light Guards said that Richmond was in the hands of the mob and several had been killed. At 0 p. m. there was great excitement. Governor Ross ordered the Light Guards of Hous? ton, under Capt. Reichardr, to go to Richmond at once, and also telegraphed orders to 1 he Bonham Grays to be repdy to leave at a moment's notice. The "Jaybirds" is the name given the white Democrats of Fort Bend, numbering about 400. The "Woodpeckers" include the negroes and a few whites. The negroes are vastly in the ascendant. It is a renewal o/a race quarrel. Houston, Texas,'Aug. 17?Captain Reichardt left here for Richmond at 12:10 last night with thirty-four men. Two gentlemen who arrived here by the 11.35 train reported that the "Woodpecker" crowd (negroes) were in the court house, surrounded by the other faction, but no more fighting had occurred. They confirmed the news of the killing of Sheriff Jim Garvey and ex Sheriff Jake ?iackeney. ? The town is crazy with excitement, the women and children being at home, while the men are down town. There is but one light burning in the whole town, and that is at the hotel. The riot was precipitated by a "Jaybird" walking through town with his Winches? ter. He was arrested and put in jail. The fighting soon began, The dead Sheriff and ex-Sheriff were "Jaybirds." A young mulatto girl was killed by acci? dent. All was quiet at midnight. Gov. Ross is expected this morning. St. Louis, August 17.?Dispatches have been received by Governor Ross at Austin, Texas, stating that everything is now quiet at Richmond, but they give no. additional particulars of the fight and add no new names to the list of casual? ties. Troops at Brenbam and other places' have been ordered to hold them? selves in readiness to move at a moment's notice. Richmond, Texas, Aug. 18? The situation is quiet here since the terrible riot in which Sheriff Garvey and Ex Sheriff Blakely lost their lives and several prominent citizens were wounded. Gov. Ross arrived yesterday accompanied by the Brenbam Light Guard. It is thought that the military will not be needed, at least for the present. As the sheriff has been killed and his deputy wounded, no arrests have been made, nor has any in? quest been held to investigate the cause of death, though the parties have been buried. It is thought that all will be left to the grand jury for settlement. The Governor had a conference to day with the leading citizens of both political factions and all agreed to the appointment of a trustworthy man as sheriff, regardless of politics. The Houston Light Guard is the only company now here. The funeral of H. H. Frost, the "Jaybird" leader, occurred to-day and was largely attended. The bodies of the slain will be exhumed and an inquest held thereon. There is no prospect of a revival of the troubles. The Cotton Bagging Question. IVom the Macon, Ga., Telegraph. Columbus, August 16.?It would seem from a message received in this city to? day by the Hod. T. H. Kimbrough, mas? ter of the Georgia State Grange, that the Liverpool Cotton Exchange has finally and decidedly pronounced against the use of cotton bagging, and there is a strong probability that the French and German exchanges will follow suit, notwithstand? ing the fact that it has been publicly stated that the cotton exchanges of Eng? land, France and Germany had decided to favor the use of cotton bagging. Mr. Kimbrough has been at work earnestly for a year in endeavoring to have the tare on cotton covered with jute bagging readjusted so as to give the cot? ton producers of the South something like justice, and to have the tare fixed for cotton covered with cotton bagging bo that it would be just to the farmer and at the same time to put cotton bagging into the markets of the world on its merits. He has labored incessantly to bring these ends about and he has written a great many letters to prominent men and cot? ton exchanges on the subject, He has also published numerous little articles in newspapers about these important mat? ters. On June 8 last he wrote to Mr. John Roxburg, president of the Liverpool Cotton Association, an organization cor? responding to the Cotton Exchange of Hew York, in which he made the follow? ing points: That the present loss of 6 per cent is unjust, and is robbing the American cotton producers of $9,000,000 annually. Ties, bagging or canvas, as it is called in England, weighs .only twenty pounds to the bale, while the customary tare is thirty pounds. Cotton bagging or canvas and ties will weigh only about fourteen pounds to the bale. Mr. Roxburg was urged to consider the cotton bagging on its merits, and reduce tare to correspond with the weight of cotton bagging and tier. A reply was received on June 24 to the effect that the Association would consider the matter and report. Mr.Kimbrough waited until yesterday, August 15, for a reply and then wired the Association as follows "John Roxburg, President Liverpool Cotton Association, England: Any prob? ability of a reduction of tare on cotton ? answer. "J. L. Kimbrough, "Master Georgia State Grange." The following reply was received this morning: 8:20 a. m., August 16, 1889.?T. H. Kimbrough, Master of Georgia State Grange, Cataula, Ga: Association con? demns the use of cotton bagging and can? not see its way to legislate on the sub? ject. John Eoxburg, President. There can be no question but that the stand the Liverpool men have taken on the cotton bagging question will cause a sensation throughout the South under present circumstances. Mr. Kimbrough was in the city this afternoon, and he and several prominent gentlemen so expressed themselves to your correspondent. Several days ago a cargo of Dundee bagging, two pounds to the yard, was or? dered from Scotland by the Georgia State Grange. The bagging will be delivered in Columbus at 10 cents per yard, of which 2ij cents a yard is tariff tax. This shows that this bagging could be delivered and purchased inj this city for seven cents per yard but for the tariff. GEO. E. PRINCE, Esq., ATTORNEY AT LAW, ANDERSON, - S. C.
