Several bales of cotton have been Bold at Cook's. The first was sold to Cook & Co. by Mr. Bay Iis MoConneU for eleven !.cents. He was followed soon afterwards hy Mr. L. E. Hall, the Primus Jones Nof the Corner, but the price had suddenly declined, and he realized only nine and; one-eighth on his bide.

Mr. Franklin Gibert and wife, from Abbeville, have been visiting at our house'the past week. ] The syrx.p business is now in full blast. Messrs.

H. Wiles, 'was badly mangled in the saw mill of Mr. Wm: McGee a few days ago. Boyish risk in starting the mill in the absence of the proprietor was the cause. He was attended by Dr. Henry of Lowndesville, and at last accounts was doing as well as joould be hoped. Our farmers, generally claim that" they will use the cotton covering, regardless,ef thelowprioe of jute bagging; wheil'lhe cotton fails they will take anything else they can procure. There seems to be a disposition to let "old man Jute" severely alone. This seems to be a better way of ^managing thef old man than giving him a sound,- old-fashioned thrashing. Dr. A. J. Speer, of Lowndesville, gave us afew visits recently. The Doctor is a fine physician and has a very extensive practice. One thing more we are able, to say of him; he can very soon impress ?you. with, the truth of the passage "It is more blessedtb give than to receive," par-; tioularly in the giving of medicine and advice. It becomes onr duty to announce this week the death of one of our oldest citi? zens, Capt J. Burress. He had climbed ^up very near the nineties. His death, though very sndden, was not altogether unexpected,.ninoa his trouble for several weeks past-had been of such a nature that it was liable to take him off at any mo? ment. He leaves a wife and five married children to mourn his departure. He farmed the greater part of his life, and it was s great pride with the old man to boast of never having bought a bushel of corn or pound of bacon. His remains were placed to rest in Gener?s tee cemetery on the 12th inst., the day following his death, by the side of his first wife, he hav? ing been twice married. Closing Exercises of the Walker-McEl? moyle School. Mr. Editor: On Friday afternoon, September (ith, the Walker-McElmoyle school building was crowded with patrons and friends assembled to witness the 'dosing exercises of the school for the summer months, and to hear an address by' Capt.; D. K. Norris. An interesting programme had been arranged for the occasion, consisting of dialogues, speeches by the boys and recitations by the girls, interspersed with delightful singing. Perhaps the singing was the most attract? ive feature of tho exorcises, but the whole programme was so well rendered that it reflected credit alike upon teacher and pupils. A poem, "Curfew Must not Ring >To-night," was recited ao beautifully by one of the girls that it deserves special 1 mention; also an essay by one of the j boys on Physiology was read so well and j with such force and effect that it showed" in that boy a mind carefully trained and well developed for one of his age. : At the conclusion of the exercises on the part of the school, J. H. Newton, assis? tant teacher, made a short speech, and then introduced Capt. Norris, who di? rected his remarks at once to the school. He spoke without manuscript and related several fables,.drawing from each a moral, illustrating forcibly the character - that should be formed in youth. His speech was very appropriate, well delivered, and was highly appreciated. Key. Hugh McLees being present, was called upon for a speech; apd responded in a few well-chosen remarks. His pres? ence suggested to us the thought that he, I of all others, is a gentleman to whom this neighborhood is indebted more than to ! any one else for the fact that we now have j the Walker-McElmoyle, school in our midst. In 1882, Mr. McLees delivered a-speech at Carmel Church upon indus? trial education. Mrs. Eleanor J. Walker was present and heard It, and as'she told a friend afterwards, was so forcibly struck with the speech that she decided at once to give something for \ educational pur? poses, and accordingly deeded to a Board' of fifteen Trustees one hundred and thirty acres of land, upon which should be built a College or school, to be known as the Walker-McElmoyle College or school. As provided for in the Constitution, ?adopted by the original Board of Trus? tees, an effort was made to get up an en? dowment fand for the establishment of the.College, but this failed and the Con? stitution was changed. In August last at the annual meeting of the Trustees it was provided to have the school chartered, and that it hereafter be run as a Graded school. The Board of Directors were authorized to have the school building enlarged, and to have every necessary convenience arranged, for running it upon the Graded system. Miss Olivia Newton, Ij the popular teacher for tbe past year, was unanimously elected principal with tbe power of appointing her own assistant?. She has bought three acres of land near by'j and with commendable zeal and en? ergy, is now having erected a neat and substantial residence, where she expects in the future for convenience to reside. I Success to her effort. Md now allow us, Mr. Editor, not being directly interested as a patron, to express our gratitude at what we know of the excelledce of her methods t.nd management of the scliool. The patrons are to be congratulated upon tho fact in 'securing the services of a teacher so auo oessfnl, and they now have the opportu? nity afforded them of giving to their children a first-class education before .going to the expense p,f sending them off > u 13dien Items, I Belton is getting up a b^sy stir among har merchant's and other business men.

Mr. .T. E. Swearengitt, from Latimer, Abbeville County, brought his daughter, Miss Leila, to-enter the Academy. Mr. Swearengin thinks of beComing a citizen of Belton sooto. A little inducement will remove possible "doubts fend bring him in. E. W. "Long, Esq., delighted us with, his presence last Monday. He brought a student, too, for the school, it seems that \ people are not hard to find out a good in- | stitution, and are determined to receive a share of the offered advantages.

In Cotton Covers. Since the farmers began to send Lheir cotton to market in cotton covers various conjectures have been made as to what proportion of the receipts has been in these new coverings. There is no way of getting at the exact figures: the factors keep no account of them, ai d the various compresses in the. city pack the cotton just as it comes without noting what it is clad in. The proportion is very large, however, and the superintendent of the .Commer? cial Cotton Press, Mr. Samuel W. Gail lard, expresses the opinion that one-third of the cotton which has passed through his hands this year has been in the Alli? ance, uniform. A factor, who handles a great amount of the crop that comes to Charleston, says that one-fourth of his receipts this year have been in cotton bags.. Such estimates as these made by men bo well informed show that the Alliance bagging ia being used very extensively by the farmers all over the State, Any? one who will take the trouble to notice the cotton piled on the drays as they pass and repass on the streets daily will be surprised to see how many of them are covered with the cotton bagging. Scarce? ly a dray can be seen that has not one or more cotton covered bales on it. They seem to go through the compress all right and inquiry shows very few of them that has to be recovered. The fears that Borne of the farmers had that their cotton was being recovered here with jute before being shipped has been proved to be groundless, although the Sa? vannah Neuss of yesterday states that the cotton exporters of that city are seriously thinking of recovering with jute bagging cotton coming there in cotton bagging principally because they can make a handsome profit by bringing the weight of the rated tare allowances up to four pounds in every one hundred and twelve, thus making a net profit of about 55 cents to 60 cents on every bale recovered. Norfolk merchants are said to be doing ?this, and are making a good thing of it. The Newa has interviewed an exporter of Savannah, who says that as no tare allowance has been fixed at Liverpool the only tare allowed will be the actual weight of the cotton baggiug, y> hich is about 4.5 pounds and which originally coats the planter about 81 cents, and with the tare allowance, on the basis of 10 cents per pound for cotton, it still makes: his bagging an expense to him, when he can cover the cotton with jute, which will not cost him on an average over 65 cents, and on a bale of cotton weighing 480 Eounds, the average per bale last season, is tare allowance would be about $1.73, leaving him a net profit by using jute bagging of something like $1 on every bale covered with jute. Another exporter of the same city who was interviewed said he was of the opin? ion that the cotton, if re-covered at all, could be covered at a greater profit at Liverpool, where the jute bagging may be had at less cost, and where labor is cheaper. Tbe best facilities are to be bad at Liverpool for recovering the cotton, but be waa not sufficiently well acquaint? ed with continental ports to say whether the jute bagging covers could be substitu? ted for the cotton bagging, but he pre? sumed it could be done. It is said that a hrge number of farm? ers in the western part of this State are sending their cotton to Savannah in pref? erence to Charleston, where the cotton is shipped in the covering that they put on it themselves.?News and Courier. The Colored Alliance. Ridge Springs, Ecgefield County, September 13.?The cotton crop is begin? ning to move right briskly now. The Alliance people resolve to use nothing but cStton bagging, but the movements indicate that about three fourths the cotton shipped iu covered with jute. This may bo in proportion to the strength of the a11 lance. The colored people have tqeir Allian? ces. They hold regular meetioga, and aro said to be well organized. It is said they have fixed the price of cotton pick? ing at 50 cents per hundred, aud will stand by this rate. Another report iB that they will fix the rate for rent of land another season.

Columbia City, Ind., September 15. ?While Sunday school services Were be? ing held in a small frame church five miles south of this city this afternoon, lightning struck the spire and coursed down through the roof, striking and instantly killing two girls, both aged 17, who were sitting together ib the centre of their class, The other ten children in the cla?s were badly stunned, but not se? riously injured.

Reading, PA.^September 15.?During ' a roar of laughter in the academy of mu? sic last Tuesday night, at tbe eccentrici? ties of the character of Joshua Whitgomb in "The Old Homestead," a lady in the audience was seen to throw up her hands and fall back in her seat in a state of hysterics. The uuhers quickly brought water, but the lady not reviving, her hu8band?George H. Dunaford?carried her from the parquett into the ladies' dressing room, and she was carried home unconscious in a cab. It was later learn? ed that in a spell of laughter she had swallowed a silver plate containing two teeth. The rady lingered in agony until to-day, when ahe died. At the postmortem examination the teeth was found in her windpipe. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Sept. 11.?One of the greatest caveins that has yet occurred in the coal regions startled the residents of Wyoming valley laat night. Just out? side the town of Plymouth the earth settled for a distance of half a mile, affecting about thirty acres of territory, belonging to the Delaware and Hudson Railroad company. The entire territory was undermined and was still being worked ont. The concussion was thought by mauy to be caused by an earthquake, and the people in the city, four miles distant, experienced a rocky sensation. At the scene of the cave in this afternoon the earth was broken and extensive cre? vices were running in every direction, many of them extending to a great depth. Several mules which were in the mine were killed, and nearly all the miners lost their working tools. The damage cannot aB yet be ascertained, but it will be immense. Workmen are this afternoon endeavoring to effect an opening into the mine, but there is great danger of water entering from the surface and shutting off all further labor. Lynchburg, Va, September 15.? A Mormon emigrant train on the Norfolk and Western Railway waa wrecked early this morning about four milea below this city. The train was a special, and was running ahead of tbe regular passenger train about twenty minutes. Tbe wreck was caused by a small bridge giving way after the engine and baggsge car had passed over it The water in tbe creek was very high, caused- by tbe heaviest rain almost ever known in this section. The emigrants numbered one hundred and sixty. Two cars plunged into the creek, but, strange to say, no one was killed, and but fifteen or twenty hurt; one seriously. The first car that went down turned completely over and is a total wreck, and the second car struck or end and stood almost perpendicular. All the passengers were badly shaken up, but when brought here Elder W. R. Payne, in charge of the party, Btated that cone were crippled and all would proceed on their journey as soon as the train could he made up. There were nine Mormon elders in tbe party. A Premium on Cotton. Charleston, Sept. 14.?Something of a sensation was created here to-day by a newspaper article in oue of the city dai? lies advising the cotton factors to pay one-eight of a cent above the market price for cotton covered in cotton bagging. Ab tbe newspaper in question is uaid to be owned by one of tbe largest and wealthi? est cotton factors in the city some signifi? cance is attached to the- article, the im? pression being that the firm to which the owner belongs will pay the advance indi? cated in the article. The proposition, however, does not seem to meet with much favor among the cotton buyers and these are. anxiously awaiting develop? ments. It may be mentioned as a very signifi? cant Btraw showing how tbe war on the juto trust is going, that the first ocean BteamBhip of the season waa cleared here to day for Barcelona. The eteamBhip ."Andanichowa" has a cargo of about 3,500 bales of new cotton on board, about one-fourth of which are covered with the new cotton bagging adopted by the Farmers' Alliance. These bales were taken on board after going through the usual handling without demur on the part of either the ahip owuer or agents or the underwriters. The proportion of cotton covered bales arriving here has continually increased ?since the cotton season opened. The lo? cal exchange has as yet taken no action on the subject. It will not meet till after October 1st.?Special to the Greenville Daily Newa. Russell Downs Brice. Washington, D. C, Sept. 11.?Russell and MacuBker are quite happy to-day, for they captured two fourth-class postmas? ters in Spartanburg County in the face of a vigorous protest from Colonel Bryce, who is chairman of the county commit? tee. N. E. Phillips receives the Camp? bell's office, vice H. D. Ballard removed, and R. A. Lancaster takes the Rich Hill office, made vacant the resignation of C. 0. 0. Bryant. There ia a bitter rivalry between Rus? sell and Bryce as to who shall control the patronage in Spartanburg County, - aud up to the prejeni writing the former appears to ha^d a Blight advantage. RuBsell,it teems, ha* notified the postoflice authorities that he is to be the Indepen? dent Republican candidate fur Congress In the 3d district a year bonce, aud he has managed to get a pretty strong grip upon tbe postal matters in tbe 3rd and 4lb Congressional districts to the. extent that he is consulted on all postal mattera in those two districts. This is very exasperating to Colonel Bryce, as it frequently upsets his calculations and places him in an embarrassing position before his friends at home. The feeling between I've two woulrj bp leaders is further embittered by the re? port that Russell is trying to prevent Bryce/s appointment na deputy collector of internal revenue by giving it out that he is the owner of a distillery.?The Newa and Courier. ?

He read no more of the letters, but at once sent for the writer of this one and gave him the job. A Cotton Council. N-ew Orleans, September 11.?A Convention of Cotton Exchanges and the cotton trade in general, to consider the difference of tare in cotton bale covering, met here thin afternoon. Delegates were present from Baton Rouge, New Orleans, NatchtK, Meridian, Vickaburg,New York, 3t. Louis, Augusta, Ga..

At the Convention's request, President Thomas, of the New Orleans Exchange, gave his views on the subject as expressed in his report at the time of the call. In order to bring the matter before the meeting ho moved that all cotton in American markets be sold at net weight, allowing 6 per cent off for tare on jute covered bales and 3? per cent for cotton covered bales. Mr. Copeland seconded the motion, which was discussed and amended. One of the interesting features of the meeting was the speech of President Liv? ingston, of the Farmers' Alliance of Georgia. He made a strong appeal in behalf of the resolution as a measure of justice to farmers, and be said that the Alliances were getting stronger and' would soon cease to beg, and would take what was undeniably theirs. Encouraging cotton bagging manufacture would leave several millions in the South annually. England would object to it at first, but would soon accept the situation. The Liverpool Cotton Association sent a letter against cotton bagging. The Bremen Exchange wrote that it had no objection to cotton bagging if it was hea? vy enongh to protect the cotton. The following resolution was passed : "That on and after the first day of Oc? tober, 1889, all cotton shall be sold at net weight, allowing twenty-four pounds 'off the gross weight for tare on jute covered bales, and sixteen pounds off for tare on cotton-covered bales, cotton covering to be of standard weight, three quarters of a pound.to the yard." The resolution was unanimously adopted. The Farmers' Alliance people Baid that the resolution would be ratified, and they wonld only send cotton to points where the tare wa? in full operation.

The Firm of Bleckley, Brown & Co. was organized in 1872, continued in businesa for eight years, being succeeded by Bleckley, Brown & Fretwell, who conducted the businesa for eight more years, and who in turn were succeeded by Sylvester Bleckley Co., the present Firm, which was organized last year, and of which two of the members of the old Firms still figure as the leading lights, onr Senior, Mr. Bleckley, having been a member of several other Firma before those named, since and before the war. He still holds the reigns of government, and we trust will for many years to come. In this last new Firm arrangement we have combined the wis? dom and experience of the older ones, with the vim and enthusiasm of the younger. The business of the different Firms have prospered, our trade haying constantly increased, even beyond our most sanguine expectations, each year showing a marked increase. We feel that all this success has been accomplished largely by our strict attention. to business, and treating our customers politely, selling them Goods at reasonable prices. Now, Ladies and Gentlemen, we come before you again with a large, well and carefully selected stock of Goods, and ask for your continued patronage, promising in the outset that we will meet any prices you may have quoted you by any other house in the trade. It costs but very little more lor ua to handle 8150,000 worth of Good3 a year than it costs to handle 875,000, having reduced our expenses to the very lowest minimum. We do not promise to sell you Goods at or below cost, as we do not propose to do busi? ness for glory, and cannot afford to work for nothing and board ourselves. We propose to charge ouly a fair and legitimate profit on our Goods, which you should be willing to pay. But we "buy our Goods ao much choaper than other people do. As an illustration, we will tell you confidentially what occurred last week, and these instances are not rare by any means: The proprietor of a large Shoe Factory from Asheville, N. C, called on our shoe-buyer last week, atating that he had 1500 cases Brogans and Women's Shoes that he was obliged to sell. The following con? versation then ensued: Our Buyer?If we can buy these Goods and sell them to onr trade at 25 per cent, less than the price you sell to merchants at, we will take them. Factory Man?Well, I have got to sell them, and you can have them; but you ought not to sell them for less than you sell the Gainesville Shoes at, ior my goods are as- good or better. Buyeb?But in order to get rid of this big lot of Goods, I will haye to make a drive on them and slaughter them, I am going to sell the Ladies' Shoe, that you wholesale at $1.15, to my customers at $1.00, and the Children's Shoes, that you sell at 90c, I will have to put down to 75c, and the Men's Shoes at $1.20, that you get $1.40 for at wholesale. This is 20 per cent less than the Gaines ville Shoe cost ua. We have on hand and in stock now? DRY GOODS.$15,000 GROCERIES. 5,000 SHOES.r.. 5,000 BAGGING and TIES. 5,000 600 BARREL8 FLOUR. 3.000 WAGONS and BUGGIES. 6,000 Total.$38,000 Which are by far the largest stocks of any of its different kind ever brought to Anderson.
