'We tailed to send up items last week, because we were anable to meet all the claims for our presence to find time to sleep and to write. We attended the Bap? tist Association, wbere excellent sermons were enjoyed, profitable discussions on various interesting and important topics were held, several old friends were met, not a few acquaintances made, and the best of Association dinners was partaken of. For our share of the last we arein debted to our young friend, John Fanfc, for one day, and-another day to three charm? ing young ladies, Misses Kate Cox, Kate S utherland andCorrie Poore, whose press ! tag invitation we could not afford to refuse, *wenifwe had the slightest inclination to do bo. The hea vy draft against us scarcely allowed time to prepare for a contemplated trip rto KirkseyB, in Edgefiehl County. We got away, however, on Friday, with our better half and our two babies for a week's absence. A quick run carried us to Greenwood, where we were met by that courteous and popular gentleman, J. E. Burst He will devote some attention to old friends, notwithstanding his duties as President of Greenwood Bank, and in his large mercantile business. We Were car? ried to his beautiful residence to await the arriv^rof our conveyance for the remain-' ing fifteen miles of our journey. During our stay we had the pleasure of a drive! over this .growing town, We visited the \ site for the factory twice-^first with J. K. i Durst, then with the President, W. L. Durst. When the mill shall be completed and the grounds improved according to . the plan described to us, we venture the assertion that a prettier factory village can not be found in the South. Nature has done a full share in both convenience and beauty. The side track from the C. & G. Railroad is almost finished, so the con? tractors, Wei 1b & Mays, can push forward the mill building. With a Sword Brick Machine thsy are turning out about twenty-five thousand brick daily. They expect to have the million and a half?re? quired for the work?in two months. With a continuance of their present rush? ing movements the mill will be ready for the coming cotton crop. Greenwood has some of the pluck and push of her sister, Greenville, and will soon be regarded an attractive rival of her mountain sisters, Greenville, Spartanburg and Anderson. We were pleased with the High School building, and, in behalf of Belton, would have been a little envious if she were not to have a similar one. The Female Col? lege and other buildings of importance, and handsome residences were pointed out on our round. Saturday we Btarted by private conveyance to Kirkseys. Such good crops have never been seen before. The same splendid prospect meets the eye everywhere along the way, and reports from all parts of Abbeville and Edgefield Counties assumed us in the belief that we bad not visited a specially favored district We noticed more particularly the large farms of L. H. Kemp, P. B. Kemp, 8. P. Mathews, J. E. Parttow, Dr. W. 8. Shep pard and W. L. Durst, all within a few miles of KirkseyB. After spending one week among \he happy owners of these farms we retraced our steps to Greenwood and stopped a day with J. R. Blake, Presi? dent of Abbeville County Alliance Mr. Blake's enthusiasm oyer- his County's .prospective welfare is not second to his private interests on his own well-managed* farm.* At his residence it was our pleasure to meet Miss Leon a Blake, who so suc? cessfully assisted Prof. McElroy at Mof ' fattsville the past year, She is one of the teachers that ought to be kept in the school room. We would be pleased to have her return to Anderson County. Monday we took leave of Greenwood friends to look after those awaiting our return to Belton. After the handshakings are over we set about learning what all the changes made during our absence mean. What we saw at the depot- was scarcely a beginning. Captain Land's work speaks for itself, so we moved on to question somebody else. J. T. Cox & Co. ware' very busy, but we managed to find out that their present store room is to be filled to its utmost ca? pacity with general merchandise, and their drugs moved to their new building to be erected at once. J. M, Geer&Co. will discontinue busi? ness here in January next, at which time the firm will be dissolved.. Major B. D. Dean will retire from business for several months, as he intends to make extended visits in Florida, Mississippi and Texas. Messrs. J. M. Geer and Aaron Geer will resume business as Geer Bros., at Ninety Six, Abbeville County. While they will continue the line of general merchandise, cotton buying will be a specialty. They regard Ninety Bix a better location for the cotton trade. "We shall be sorry to see these gentlemen leave Belton. Mr. J. M. Geer expects to start to market for Ninety Six stock next Monday. Dr. W. E. Campbell has been so success? ful in his Drug and Fancy Grocery trade, that he intends to move into a more com? modious building and lay in a larger stock of goods. The new store room has just been put in order for him. The next change is at Lewis & Moor head's, who say that as soon as the neces? sary space can be properly fitted up they will bring on the largest stock of general merchandise ever in Belton. They seemed unusually happy over their bright pros? pects, and informed us that another large stock will be placed at Donald's by Lewis, Moorhead & Co. Stringer & Poors are making no outward display ; neither are McGee & Son, but these two strong firms are getting ready for the best fall trade Belton ever had. They intend to meet tbe demand in all lines of goods. Mr. A. R. Campbell is hurrying to get farm matters iu such shape that he may begin to build on his lot here. He says he mnat be near enough to get fall benefit of Belton'e excellent school. He is right, and so are others that are trying to get houses before they are all taken. Come on, you all shall have houses. If none are ready now they shall bo built. Come ahead! Mr. E. T. Tollition has greatly improved the appearance of his residence by a coat of white paint. Good taste and judgment timely displayed. So fine a crop has John Campbell that he can't take time to think of improvements. We have promised to inspect his crop and must keep the promise. We will be around, Mr. Campbell. Have a basket of peaches ready. We have been favored with baskets of very fine peaches from J. L. Green, J. T. Rice and A. R. Cox. The baskets were large, too, but full. We wonder how well we shall be treated when we have an op? portunity to visit these gentlemen at their homes. We believe that it will require a better cart than we own to bring us home when they have finished with us. We are going to find out before long. E. H. Acker informs us that a glorious meeting isi in progress at Shady Grove Church. Twelve candidates were baptized Tuesday. Others have joined the Church. Dr. Todd has been off on a prospecting tour. He might become ill himself while hunting the place where people get sick. Dr. Holcomb has tr: ed it, and we are in? formed is about ready to come back to Bel? ton to rest. Better not take such tours often, Dr. Todd. Mr. Editor, we are not so certain that an apology shouldn't be offered for advertising you a married man; but, under all the circumstances, doesn't it seem reasonable that such a mistake should be made. A handsome young in: n doesn't go begging when he possesses the requisites for be coming a good husband, unless he Indis? creetly announces his intention to support a wife on crushed newspa^eV&aud ty"pe pie. You shouldn't be toe bashful to look up I when, a lady 'callB to advertise for a ring "that she hasn't lost. Let her write the ad? vertisement next time, and you find the ring. A second mistake of the kind wouldn't occur, then. However, as soon as the recent requisition for wives on Mas? sachusetts and other States shall he filled, we will try to cancel the imposed obliga? tion for the admitted error. KArtfA. Bfcfc*o!M, S. C, August 26; 1880. j Mr. J. J. Moorehead, of Lewis & Moore* i head, accompanied by D. A. Geer, of Geer Bros., have gone North and will purchase j such immense stocks of goods for their respective firms tbat they propose to sell at prices that will make even members of .the Alliance smile. Messrs. E. R. Cox and kuther Bigby have gone to I1 on aid's to take charge of j the mammoth stock of goods to be placed ? there by the new firm, Lewis, Moorohead j &Co. At Belton Lewis & M?orebead will in? crease their already large stock of fine millinery goods. Miss Ida Bigby, who so ' efficiently manages this department, has i been off on a Short vacation trip, but is again at her post ?nu Will be glad to have, her friends call. We suggest that thoy moke no long delay. She will not wait on slow motions, and, they may find, to. their regret, it impossible to enjoy a | pleasant enterchange of wofds With her. Indeed, Bhe way not be visible-when that stock of goods is in place. One of Duo West's popular young men, Mr. Bennie Sulliyan, 13 visiting the family of Maj. Ira C. WilH&ma. He is. a welcome visitor in Belton. We ran down and had a few words with Col. L. E. Campbell, Messrs. V. ET. Breaz ealo, Columbus Poore end Joe Mattison. All said, "no nevis," but tbey wore happy faces, indicative of a consciousness of the great harvest season approaching. No? body complains this week, but are await? ing the opening of cotton. A few pods have been seen in the fields ol Mrs. A. L. Brown, A. B. Campbell, and others. The Oil Trust has built a substantial and convenient warehouse for cotton seed here just abovo the freight depot. ? There may be. some lively competition in the fall. None needed, however. The Oil Mill here should handle all seed here? about. A large basket full of splendid peaches was thoughtfully sent us by Mrs. P. Clinkscales. Mrs. Barbara Dean was not unmindful that we have no fruit trees, and favored uu with a fine lot. Maiay thanks for these kindnesses. Dr. S. Lander delighted his congrega? tion at the close of one of his best sermon3 last Sunday by reading a very interesting letter received from his talented daughter, 'Mrs. John M- Lander, Missionary in Bra? zil. We wish tho Doctor would give it to the press._ Kappa. Denver Items. One of the moat enjoyable occasions it has been the pleasure of-this writer to at? tend occurred at Jolley's Spring iast Fri? day, the 23rd inst. It was a family re? union of the children, grand-children and great-grand-children of Mr. W. E. Eskew and wife. This venerable couple were mar? ried Feb. 5, 1832| and are 78 years of age. There was present on the occasion referred to eight children, thirty-three grand-chil? dren and one great-grand-child, making a total of forty-two; and one child, four grand-children and thirteen great-grand children absent, making this interesting family number sixty-two living at present, besides two sons in- law and five daughters in-law. 'Twas a Bight tbat did one good to see this venerable couple surrounded, as they were, with their descendants and lriends, cheerful and happy, thus setting an example of contentment, brought about by habits of industry and piety. Being hard workers themselves they early incul? cated in their children the fundamental doctrine that success was the result of hard work and perseverance, which has been followed by their descendants. Not only this, but children and grand-children are following in the stepJi of this pious couple, and . all the- children and' all the grand? children old enough are members of the Baptist Church, thus showing- the force of the Scripture that says "train up a-child," <tc. We doubt if a finer looking line of posterity can be shown in the County than was shown last Friday by "Uncle Elliot" and "Aunt Katie," as they are fwniliarly called. At the proper time a sumptuous dinner was spread and partaken of by all present. Later in tbe day Columbus Wardlaw, Esq., was called on for a speech, and responded in a neat and impressive ad? dress, followed by Mr. W. E. Breazeale. This was an occasion long to be remember? ed, and we wish many happy returns of it to the parties interested. l,Mr. W. E. Lee reports something rather uncommon in the sheep-raising business. He has an ewe that has dropped two lambs this year?one in January and one in July. We understand our young friend, T. B. Lee, Jr., contemplates going into the poul? try business on a larger scale, and use an incubator for hatching purposes. If prop erly managed there is money in raising chickens, and with Mr. Lee's experience we expect him to make it a success. Mr. T. R. Simpson had a kind of "scat-' term en t" at his mill last Monday morning. On the previous Friday he had some plas? ter of Paris put on his "runner" to increase its weight, but It failed to "set" right, and when he started the mill it burst all to pieces, and tore things up generally. Mr. Simpson was lightly struck on the finger by a fragment. Such things are danger? ous. Jay. ? A woman in Perry, Mo., adopted a novel way of securing a husband, but, as she deserved, she kept him but a short time. There had been a robbery in the town, and she knew who did it, She sent for tbe young man, told bim he was guilty, and gave him the chance of mar? rying her or going to prison. Ho said he would wed, and did so, but the honey? moon was short. In two weeks be took poison, leaving a note that said tbat he bad enough, aud was sorry he bad not choeen the other alternative and gone to prison. ^^^^^ ? On Monday two men came to Hart well in search of Mr. Matthew Knox. Through them we learn that Mr. Orr King and Knox became involved in a quarrel on Saturday evening about dark near Fairplay. S. 0. Knox became en? raged aud fired two shots from his pistol at'King. Failing to hit him, he "drew his knife and inflicted three frightful wounds on King, one gash extending from the top of the left shoulder down to the collarbone, another gash: from the middle of the back across tbe right arm, and a stab in the breast to tbe hollow. Mr. King was not expected to live. Knox fled the country.?Tlartwcll Sun, ? A correspondent of the Birmingham Age Herald is in favor of Congress set? ting aside a part of Alaska as a place for tbe colonization of convicts from "the States." The suggestion is a good one, aud if it should be carried out would afford great relief to certain parts of the United States. The cost of transporting convicts to Alaska would be greater *hau the cost of transporting them to the penitentiaries of the States, but, as the correspondent alluded to Bays, "the secu? rity that would result to society at large by such action would be of untold value, and is not to be weighed by dollars and cents." He is particularly happy in the suggestion that such disposition of our convict population would be of great benefit to the working mep who, upon the adoption of this measure, "would neither have to work longer aide by side with felons, nor compete with fettered labor." CAlJriiOY RECALLED. Negroes on the "War oPath at Mou'pfc Pleasant. ..... ChablestoN) August 23.?To-day has bocn one or intenee excitement in Char? leston. At 11 a. m., a telephone message was received from Mount Pleasant asking for assistance. Mount Pleasant Is a su? burb of the tilty) across tbe river, in Berkeley County^ and tiear the scene of the Cainhoy massacre in iS70. The ne? groes outnumber the whiles in proportion of about thirty to one. The meesafte came from the sheriff. It seems that about 6 a. m. a negro woman named Mollie Holmes entered a grocery store in the village and rnede Bome pur chaees. The clerk, Fred Schaefer, a boy of about 17 years of age, had been cleaning a gun, which is invariably kept in such stores. The woman passed ih front of it while the boy was handling it, and the gun went off and mortally wounded her. As 800U as the r>'ws got abroad, the negro women, as is their custom, started out on a crazy crusade. They aroused the menj and in a moment the whole population was in a ferment. The boy ran to the sheriff and gave himself up and was locked up. The women surrounded the Jail and demanded his blood. The men sent out to tbe surrounding plantations for arms and ammunition, and threatened to take tbe prisoner, Sheriff and jailor and hang all of them unless tbe boy was given up. The Sheriff bad a half dozen deputies sworn in and stood the siege, in the meantime sending to Charleston for help. ? By order of the Governor, two compa? nies'of white militia, the German Fusi? liers and the Sumter Guards were dis? patched to tbe scene of the disturbance. They left the city at 1 p. m., and forty five minutes later were at tbe jail. The Woman died at about 2 p. m., having made an ante mortem statement to the effect tbat the shooting was acci? dental. This, however, did not appease tbe infuriated negro men and women. The prisoner was Bent under guard over to this city at 7 p. m.; but in tbe meantime the reinforcements from Cain hoy and tbe surrounding country had come in aud the crowd threatened to burn tbe town. The Charleston troops thereupon were ordered to encamp on the scene, and will stay there all to night. The negroes in ihiB city are very much excited, and the lower classes are talking boldly of embarking in small boats for Mount Pleasant to go to the aid of the rioters. Seven of the ringleaders in tbe demon? stration were arrested about 5 p.m., and logded in jail. It was clearly a case of accidental killing, and the bloodthirsty feeling of the negroes is somewhat difficult to understand.?Special to the Columbia Reg? ister. Chahleston, ? S. C, August 24.?If there be those who do not believe that tbe people of this section of the State-are living on the verge of a volcano they would speedily have realized it if they had been on Mt. Pleasant yesterday or even in' Charleston. The burning, in? tense hatred of the whites tbat animates the negroes iu tbe low country found vent yesterday. It is true tbat on the part of tbe men it was only indicated by sulky looks and deep curses, but this was only because of the show of the bayonet and the loaded rifle. The Register correspon? dent, when he arrived at the village, re? cognized the symptoms he bad seen there in the days of '76 at Edisto, at Cainhoy, at Wadmalaw and in tbe streets of Char? leston, when they flowed with tbe blood of white people. All that prevented a repetition of the Cainhoy massacre was the swift presence of the troops. The outline of the homicide that gave rise to this storm were telegraphed to the Register yesterday. If there was ever a case of purely accidental killing this was one. There was absolutely no possible pretext or excuse for the outrageous conduct of tbe negroes. The white pop? ulation of Mt. Pleasant is composed large? ly of Germans, most of them, of course, being employe! in the grocery business. They come frequently in contact with the negroes and frequently befriend them. In fact it is known that the ne? groes generally vote in municipal elections with tbe Germans. The boy whose gun did the shooting was a clerk in the store and had just served the wo? man. Sam Lee, the colored lawyer, told the Register correspondent that he heard the woman's dying statement, and tbat she said she knew the boy did not intend to shoot ber. There was absolutely no imaginable motive for the shooting. It is possible tbat there would have been no excitement or trouble whatever but for the black viragoes of the village, who are little butter than brutes, and who at once armed themselves with hoes, shovels, axes and picks, and roused the poor brutes of their race into frenzy. It was under their violent exhortations that the men made r.n attempt on the jail. It was only the prompt action of the Gover? nor in ordering out the troops that pre? vented another bloody massacre. No man knows the intense hatred and violence of these black amazons of the Beacoast. Why, tbe bodies of the victims of Cainhoy were literally hacked to pieces. The Register correspondent saw an old white man who was massacred on that occasion, and will never forget the sight. The old man had been shot down by tbe negro militia, and after he had fallen the women had taken charge of the body. With axeB and hoes they had fairly chop? ped it to pieces, and the butchery was systematically done too. Both legs, from the knee down, were chopped with hoes, the bones broken in three places, above the knees the legs had been hacked up to tbe thighs, and from the trunk huge pieces of flesh were hacked out, evidently with adzes. These are the creatures who live in this section of the State. Even in the city the feeling of intense hatred of the whites cropped out. The sight of tbe troops embarking attracted a crowd of about 1,000 negro men, women and children, aud on all sides could be heard curses, oaths, shrieks and cries, . On tbe ferry wharf when the boat came in at 7 o'clock tho ladies who came over bad to run a gauntlet of curses and in? sults fearful to hear and too filthy for print. Of course it would not have been permitted had it been anticipated, but tbe crowd gathered so rapidly that before one suspected anything tbe streets along the East water front had poured forth their vile occupants and tho streets were in their possession. This state of affairs should cause men to think. It is growing more and more apparent daily that there is danger here in the low couufry, and thoso who can put two and two together are beginning to realize tbat in good truth the civiliza? tion of tbe Anglo-Saxon race is threaten? ed. The affair at Mount Pleasant seems to have settled down. An inquest was held on the body of the dead woman, and after a good deal of wrangling, the customary verdict was rendered. One company of the troops remained in the village all night and returned to tbe city this morning. The whites of the village bave had time to arm themselves, and are able now to keep the peace. So tbat little further trouble is apprehended. Sheriff Hale is a man of indomitable pluck, and with a score of armed white men, will be able to enforce the laws. It was with difficulty that he could be per- i suaded to send the prisoner to the city last night, and he only consented to it af? ter much argument. It is known that the negroes had sent runners out into the surrouoding country for reinforcements, and mischief would undoubtedly have been done but for the presence of the noldiers.?Special to the Columbia Register. ? Mr. G. W. Fullington.ofPinehurst, this county, has recently had hiaoat crop threshed out. From one nere of land he threshed 126 binbola of good oats.

Mr. Fullington is a tip top farmer and makes fine crops of everything that he grows?Doolg, (??., Vindicator. CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. wiTSRTOWNj N. Y., August 23.?Tho second train of the Barnum & Bailey show was wrecked late last night about two and a half miles East of Potsdam, while en route on the Rome, Watettown and Ogdensburg ftalltoad from Gouven er to Montreal. A broken axle was the cause. Twenty-fotir ring horses, includ? ing one pi* the four. c.bAriot teams and two camels), were killed. Sis cars were derailed and two teloscoped so that every? thing in them was crushed. There were three trains conveying the show. The 'first train, which carried the tents and their belongings, passed into Canada safely, but the second train, conveying all the animals; met with an awful disaster. The scene la one of confusion. At either side of the track are distributed the bodies of the dead horses, with here and there a poor beast which had received in? juries that render it tweless tethered to fences. At the side of the highway are one camel, sacred cows, steers and various other animals which were rescued from the derailed cars. The caw are crushed and twisted into all sorts of shapes, and piled upon thetrack in a seemingly hope? less entanglement. The elephant, which were in the first car that was derailed, were not hurt, and have been taken from the car and are swaying their bodies i angrily as if displeased at thei^ unusu? ally long confinement. BarnunVs part? ner, J. A. Bailey, is at the scone. He ?".73 it is difficult to estimate the loss at ^?t sent, but it will be in the neighbor? hood of ?40,000. Woburm,- Mass , August 24.?Thi3 morning Fred S! Nichols, living cn Grove Btreet, Winchester, while delirious from typhoid fever, got out of bed, procured a revolver from a bureau drawer and shot his nurse, a Miss Smith, through tbe heart, killing her. Before he could be secured be fired two shota at his father, Stillman Nichols, but without effect. Miss Smith was a trained nurse from Boston, who came yesterday to attend the patient.

Blackviixe, August 24.?Mr Lonie Seideman, an old German resident of this place, committed suicide here last night about half past 10 o'clock by shoot? ing himself through tbe head after retir? ing to bis room. He had been drinking very hard for a number of years, and in the past few days he seemed to have ar? rived at tbat stage when the stomach would retain the liquor no longer, and, it is thought, be became more sober than he had been for many years, and medita? ting upon and realizing his position, he determined to put an end l;o everything.' The preparations around the room showed conclusively that he was very deliberate and knew well the step he was taking. Tbe night marshal beard tbe shot and ran immediately to the room and found him dead across his bed. He has been financially embarrasssed for some time, and this fact may have contributed to the sad catastrophe. He has no relative in this country except Mrs. Meyers, wife of Mr. E. R. Meyers, of this place. Chicago, August 23.?YeBterday de? veloped another installment of real life in "The Romance of a Poor Young Man." The actual name of the young man who, under tbe name of George Dunning, is serving a four year term in the Joliet penitentiary as a result of his love for a millionaire's daughter, is Ernest Dunni vant. His father, an old Chicago prin? ter, died four years ago, leaving a widow, seven daughters and two sous. Upon the earnings of Ernest the family were de? pendent, after the death of tbe father, until the boy went to the penitentiary. Since then 'the family's existence has been maintained only by a severe strug? gle. Tbe mother was seen by a reporter and corroborated the story told about the I persecution of her son, giving the story in detail. She said further that the millionaire's daughter came back to the city last year, after a long absence, and called on her. Mrs. Dunnivant spoke indignantly of Ernest being in tbe peni? tentiary and wanted tbe mother to write him bow much she thought of him and how much she would help him when he got out. Tbe girl said she herself had been practically in prison during her absence from Chicago. Mrs. Dnnnivant added tbat some time last year an attor? ney was recommended to her as a man who conld not be bought off. I went to him, and he said be would assist me. He asked if I had any letters. I told him I bad several from the girl, The attor? ney said these were just what he wanted, tbat be bad made this same millionaire settle for two scrapes he had gotten into, and that by showing tbe letters to him, he would immediately get Ernest pardon? ed out. I gave him the letters, and that was the last I overheard of them. Latjrens, Aug. 2G.?Albert Meredith and John Jones, negroes living near Fowler's Mills, in the northern part of this county,'became engaged in a scuffle on Saturday afternoon, which ended in Meredith's shooting and killing Jones. The circumstances as far as your corres? pondent could learn are about as follows: I Jones came to Meredith's house and began playing and scuffling with him. Subsequently Jones ran out of the house and Meredith ordered him to stop. On his failure to do so the latter seized an old fashioned Colt's pistol lying over the I door and fired, tbe ball entering Jones' back and causing his death in about fif? teen minutes. Meredith was arrested by bystanders and detained until the arrival of Deputy Sheriff Winters, who brought him to jail yesterday afternoon. The verdict of the coroner's jury was in accordance with the above facts. Mere? dith claims tbat the killing was purely accidental and that he was only in fun. Jackson. Miss., August 25.?State Agent L. F. Childs arrived here this afternoon. He delivered Kilrain to Sheriff Cowart at Purvis this morning, and took his receipt for him and kept the train on to New Orleans, and rushed on home by the Illinois Central. He said j he did not have time to give any of the particulars of his trip with the ex-cham? pion, but tbat after he was finally given over io his custody by the Baltimore courts, that.Kilrain gave him no trouble ; that he behaved well?better than Sulli? van. He said that he thought it was Kilrain's intention to give bond at Purvis to-day, and start back to Baltimore to? night. New York, August 26.?Albert Mc j Millan, bookkeeper of the Cady & Nelson Co., limited, tailors, at 226 5th avenue, took all the cash he could lay his hands on last week and fled. He bad previously raised two checks drawn to his order by the firm and pocketed over ?1,200 of hia employers' money. The total loss by hia difihonesty is $2,200.

Millan is sick and has only six months mere to live, and it is thought be took the money to go to the South and die. His conduct has been good during the I two years he has been in the employ of the firm, and previous to that time he had a good reputation. Charlotte, August 26.?A special to-night from Wadesboro says that great damage has been done in Richmond County by a very heavy cloud burst last night. Cabins have been washed away and it is feared many people are drowned. The cloud burst about half a mile above the town of Rockingbam, just over Pee Dee River, and the waters came dashing down upon the town. Four cotton mills were flooded and one was washed almost entirely away. Five miles of the Caroli? na Central Railroad is washed away and telegraphic communications with Rock? ingbam is cut off.

L. Polk, president of the Inter-Slate Farmers' Association, returned here to? day from the meetings of that body at Montgomery. In answer to an inquiry as to the status of the fight between the farmers aud the jute bagging truBt, the colonel said: "It is approaching a crisis. The alli? ance is encouraged by the friendly action of the American cotton exchanges, by the constant accession of mills that are going into the manufacture of cotton bagging and by the unanimity and determination of the farmers throughout the south to fight it out to the bitter end. The Inter State association organization is solidly against the jute trust, which has an ac? tive, Bbrewd and jealous ally in the cotton speculators or gamblers in Mures. They have sold large quantities of cotton to be delivered in the early fall. They are dreadfully alarmed tliat cor.ton is being held back by the farmers, and the price is advancing, and to-day it is a singular fact that spot cotton vr Delling at higher figures than their contract prices. These men must have cotton, or they are hope? lessly wrecked. They have sold, and they must deliver, hen ce they are putting forth powerful efforts >o forco the cotton on the market. It it ludicrous to read their dispatches, circulars and bogus let? ters now crowding the columns of the daily papers. They magnify i;he growing crop and hold up the present prices, and claim that they must decline. They pa? rade the non action of the Liverpool exchange, and positively assert that it will not recognize cott-m bagging. If the Liverpool exchange has so declared, I have failed to see the official announce? ment. We do not expect the co-operation of Liverpool until it is forced. English capital, English shipping and English manufacturers and Liverpool speculators, of course, are all interested in perpetuating the use of jute, but all this commotion in cotton circles in Amei ica is the work of gamblers in futures, v* ho have millions at stake, and who are nov standing face to face with financial ruin. They do not care how cotton is wrt oped, for the terri? ble reality stares them in the face that they must have sufficient cotton to fill their contracts and ? hey must have it quick. So desperate r ave the speculators become that they already have agents traveling from farm tb farm in the more Southern States offering to buy cotton and advance the money. This is a strug? gle, not for temporary triumph over the bagging trust, but one for a great princi? ple, and we will not relinquish the fight." Twelve Months "or a Gallon, This week a white man has been sent from Houston county to serve twelve months in the chaingoing at Steven's pot? tery for stealing a jug containing a gallon of whisky. On Wednesday of last week the noon train from F jrt Valley contain? ed a passenger named J. D. Thompson, who claimed to be a punter from Atlanta. Dasher Station was his professed destina? tion, but he got off a snort distance above that point. He carried with him a jug containing a gallon of whisky. Upon ex? amining the express list, Conductor Drigge? discovered that a jug of whisky was missing. Arriving at Perry he informed Sheriff Cooper of the theft, and that efficient officer immediately went after the thief, and found him drunk in a negro cabin. Thereupon he was arrested, brought to Perry, and lodged in jail, and at subsequent trial in Houston county court, the evidence w?3 direct, and Judge Miller sentenced him 10 pay a fine of $50 or serve twelve months in the chaingang. In default of the money, Thompson was sent to Steven's pottery this week.?Pen y, Ga.y Journal. Through Niagara Rapids. Niagara Falls, Aug 25.?The announcement that Carlise D. Graham would go through the rapids and whirl pool in his barrel to day attracted thousands of people to the banks and Buspension bridge to witness the feat. The barrel was let go at sixteen minutes before 5 o'clock, taking the worst possible course, that in which Captain Webb lost his life. It was tossed about in every direction, going end over end, but passed out of the rapids into the whirlpool in five minutes, aud arrived at Lewiston in safety. ?

Tho caterpillar has attacked cotton on the sea coast of cur State and the planters are much alarmed as the bolls are just now in a good way of growing. ' ? Mrs. Bonfield went to the Baltimore and Ohio depot of Zanssville to see some friends off on a train. When the train arrived she laid her b;.by down in the gentlemen's waiting-rcom and went with her friends to the platform. After the train departed she 'entered the carriage and drove away. She made several calls and never discovered the loss of the baby until she returned hon-e, an hour after? ward. She hastily returned to the depot and found the baby BiTe and sound in the arms of a hotel-runner, who had discovered it and took care of it. During her absence half a dozen persons had attempted to secure it ibr adoption. She was overjoyed at finring it and wept freely. ? Speaking of wido-7B marrying made me think of an incident that happened near where I lived waj back in the fifties. I lived next door to Dick Tolbot. He had five little brats. Dick went off hunt? ing one day and shot his leg. It was mighty bad weather, and at last the doctors had to cut off his leg to save his life. He lingered along for several months and then died at last. I was there the night he dice His wife took on mighty bad. Some of the neighbors went to console her, hi t it did no good, At last I went to the seemingly heart? broken wife and told bar that poor Dick was gone, and I told h-:r it did no. good to "take on" so. "I crn't help it," said she, and continuing, p - in ting toward her children, said: "Just think that these poor children will have to come under a stepfather. It is more than I can bear." ?Chattanooga Times. ? One of the laziest men in the coun? try is John Curtis, wh" is serving a three years' sentence in th-j State prison at Salem, Oregon. Curbs worked in the foundry, and about three months ago took off his boots, on tue plea that they hurt him, and then b'jrned his foot bo severely that he was laid up. When the burn was healing he put vinegar on it and aggravated it to prevent its getting well. The prison .physician threatened him and managed to cure the wound. Curtis was set at work again. He work? ed four days and then, with a hatchet, cut off his left hand. It took two blows. One cut through tho ileshy part of the hand ; the other clean through the 'wrist joint. He confessed that he did it to avoid work. SMALL FARM AND VINEYARD FOR SALE. IN six miles of Anderson C. H., on Pcn dlcton Road; adjoining lands of T. R. Simpson, Jepiha Harper and others.
