Keep before.you the fact that in the next year we will have the great struggle for independence. Toll ?caunot ? be independent unlesss yon have on hand a good store of food. Plant wheat, oats and barley. No man can be independent, feel - independent or look independent while he Owes a debt, drives a poor hun? gry animal or imperfectly feeds and clothes his family. Now, brethren, if we are to seek to be free men who can look their fellow'men in the face and Give no man anything but to love bim, how can we do it but by laying in a supply of food crops and making our cotton crop a sur i plus to meet our obligations. Make what you consnme and it will take but little to pay the rest." Competition tbe Life of Trade. \,Me. Editor : Shall we "kill the goose that laid the golden egg ?" Need we ever expect to find man that is not subject to the same passions that have always existed in man? Are we not all too much like John Quincy Ad? ams, who said: : v "JIan wants but little Lore below, Nor wants that little long, j ?Tfa nottpirA wb exactly so, Bdt 'Us so in the song. My \cantt are many, ami If told Wbald muster Many a score, And weits each wish a mint of gold, I still sbonld Jong for more 1" Such ? man. Where can we find that merchant that ever made as much as he wanted, or where is that farmer that ever did the fame thing. More, more, is the cry- of all men. Now, what iB the surest and most effective check of this inordinate craving for more by the mer? chant? What has brought goods down to their present reasonable prices? I answer competition. It is impossible to conceive of any other effective check to the cry for mere, unless we could fiud a man unlike all men in the past. Why do patented articles always sell for more than they are really worth? Because there is no' competition in their sale. The patentee bas the exclusive sale, and that craving for more puts the price up. Suppose one man had the exclusive sale of bacon in Anderson ? Do you think it would have been sold so low all the year? No competition means high pricas. Therefore, I would suggest that ii would be to the interest of every buyer to see to it that competition is not de? stroyed, for to it we mnst look for reason? able prices, ? If there was; but one store at which to trade, would not the owners of that store have the purchasers at their mercy, (a thing too often unknown in the trading tworld?) Selah! Drive a pin down here. "Competition is the life of trade," and most certainly the producer of reasonable prices. Therefore, let us encourage com? petition. Let us not unbridle the young mule, (man's greedier gain,) to our own misfortune. Have we not all felt the yearnings for more l How different the feelings of the buyer and seller. If we have anything to buy the price seems high, but if we should be selling any article how bard it is to get what toe think it is worth. This differ? ence of feeling is only the practical working of that principle in man which always cries for more. Do not try to ap? ply all that is said above exclusively to the merchant, for the same feeling per? vades your own breast, kind reader, be you farmer, doctor, or what else, for you are not different from all other men in this respect, notwithstanding you may bo consider yourself. How truly it has been said, "Fortune gives too much to many, enough to none." Find me that man who has enough, and I'll find yon a hen with teeth. Yours, for competition, Farmer's Son. N. B.?The want of competition is the very thing that put Jute bagging, sugar and coffee, so high. A certain number of individuals associated themselves togeth? er and formed what we call a trust, man? aged to get control of bagging, &c, and way up went the prices. Ib is only that principle which pervades every man's breast, and is always calling?more. Man's thirst for riches is very ' much like the inebriates craving for strong drink. The more you try to satisfy it the more it wants. . "Hoards after boards bis rising raptures fill, Yet still he sight, for hoards are wanting still." F. 8. Use Cotton Bagging. Messrs. Editors : We took our friend, "Farmer's Son," word. If we proceeded npon a "false premise," we may give him credit for it. He has proceeded upon a "false premise" in his last. We did noc state that the present cotton bagging weighed one pound to the yard, but none will doubt thatit is practical. We think 3Jc. will pay for the manufacture per yard. ' Our dear friend talks about jute weigh? ing 21 lbs. to the yard. The best jute we have been able to get weighs lj to 1$ to the yard, and if our friend has han? dled as much of if as we have, he knows that it neitber weighs or measures out. Why, if our friend can succeed in making a profit of $2.27 per bale on jute he had better buy cotton and rebalo. The ac? tual weight of jute baling?5? yards, 5 ties?is 17 to 19 pounds?say 18. This from the tare?30?18?12?$1.20 loss. Cotton bagging 4*?ties 83?Add to this tare allowed 8 lbs.?21J. 30? 21}?8}?87c. loss?a gain over jute of 32.2c. It is unreasonable to say tbat the buyers will pay 10c, per pound for jute bagging when they can buy it for 5c, even if onr friend put on 100 pounds to the bale. Just the same with cotton baling, which weighs less than half as much as jute. We advocate home enterprise from beginning to ending. We all know that the consumption of cotton is an advan? tage to the cotton farmer. Our friend says cotton bagging will cost 96c. per bale, and yet we lose on the crop of seven million $10,395,000. This is rea? soning on paper and not in the head. We do not wish to consume the columns of your valuable paper with such talk as this, so we close. Alliance Man. A New Sam, Jones. Danville, Va., October 24.?The town of Reidaville, N. C, is wild over a young preacher known as Bill Fife, until recently a dissipated man about town. He was converted a short time ago and began to preach. His meeting has just closed with three hundred converts, many of whom are prominent citizens. Mr. Fife is uneducated, but is a powerful speaker and very much like Sam. Jones in style. ? Carl Schurz says that at the rate our trees are going, this country in another (twenty-five years will be stripped as bare* as AsiafMinor. GOlJNtt COftRESPONDCNtGtL Belton Items, At 8i o'clock p. m. last Thursday the whole town and the entire surrounding country went on a rush ro the Baptist Church to witness the marriage of Dr. W. E. Campbell and Miss Lula McGee. They may correctly judge of their popularity by the immense crowd that whs so closely packed as to scarcely TeaVo room for them to enter When, the hoar, arriyed. As the sweet hotes of the Wedding March broke forth at the Bkillful touch of Miss Welsh, of Pendleton, the assemblage parted to admit the ushers, Prof. W. E. Breaze^le, Messrs. Beattie Gossett, L- A. Brock, W. J. Moorehead, who cleared the way tor the youthful couple, Earnest McCullough, of Darlington, and tnes Campbell immedi? ately preceding the bridal procession to op?u for ihem the lovely flower decked gates just in front of the altar, whern were to stand the six conptes of attendants on each side of a handsome arch of flowers. After the attendants, J. T. Campbell, of Nashville, Tenn., and Miss Eva Stringer, Judge W. P. Cox and Miss fcella.'Canip bell, E. T. Breazeale and Miss Nannie Seel, of Greenwood, J. A. Brock and Miss Mamie Tagg?rt, D. A. Geer and Miss Liz zie Brock, Dr. Willis Dodson and Miss Emma Clinkscales, came the little fairy flower queen, Eiiza Prior, who Straw tiie flowers in the pathway of the handsome groom and -queenly bride. A beautiful and impressive ceremony by the Rev. Dr. Manly concluded the programme at the Church, and the party and invited guests repaired to the reception hall at the resi? dence of the bride's father. An adequate description-of this is impossible unless your correspondent could have depefoded upon a better source of information than catching the facts 'on the wing. Many handsome presents wero received by the happy ones. Our town was most agreeably surprised by a visit from one of her former citizens, Mr. Hezekiah Rice, of Texas. It has been almost twenty years since he was here last. We are sorry that he will stay but a few days. His ties in the ''Lone Star" Stale hre already beginning to tighten and he, too, soon will be drawn away from-ns again. Rev. E. C. Rice, who has just come in from his rounds of good work and general usefulness, is getting ready to accompany Mr. Hezekiah Rice on his return. We fear the persuasions and inducements to enter promising fields of labor there may result in again making a Texan of him. Senator Hampton passed here last Fri? day en route for Atlanta. We had but few words with him. The delayed train caused him to iear missing connection with the Air Line train, which so much worried him that he felt little like talking. He says the Blair Educational Bill will hardly pass-this session. The prospect good last session if it coold. have been reached. Prof. vVatkins, .Mr. Newton and Dr. Hudgens, of Honea Path, gave Us a pleas? ant call last Saturday. We must see the Doctor again. His Confederate war sto? ries are too interesting?peculiarly so to your correspondent?to stop here. We must have another talk. Mr; J. A. Williamson and Wife, of Neal's Creek neighborhood, were seri? ously hurt by being thrown from a buggy by a runaway mule. Severe bruises and some broken bones were the painful results. No damage to vehicle or mule There has been a reunion of tho family : of Mr. G. W. McGee, and a joyful time j was the occasion. Kappa. Dots From Hamilton. The fight waxes hot. The Jute com? bine are about forming a "trust'' to con? trol the whole bagging interest for the crop of 1890. The cotton exchanges, with j one noble exception, of the United States J have sided with the Jute trust oh the question of tare, and against the farmers. Hence the Alliances have to fight the ene? my at home as well as abroad. This whole question of tare was .a robbery in Liverpool to cheat the producer, of which he was not eVen conscious till :he fight developed the fact. As Liverpool Is the great controlling, market for cotton, she has from time immemorial levied an arbitrary tare on Jute of twenty-four pounds per bale, and adjusts the Liver? pool price accordingly, without reference to the fact that lighter material Could be used, as for instance cotton bagging, which leaves a margin of eight pounds; per bale of Cotton more in the light bale than the heavy, for which the farmer gets not a cent. Here then is the great battle-ground between the opposing forces, the farmers claiming, with perfect justice, that this eight pounds of cotton shall be settled for when the cotton passes out of the pro? ducers hands, and not be allowed to be gobbled up by the Liverpool merchant. And the strangest part of the fight is that the cotton exchanges of our own country, by their refusal to recognize the tare pro? posed on cotton bagging, have sided with the Jute trust. There is a great deal more in this fight than appears on the surface.' England, through her great; money power, is not only attempting to dictate the price of the cotton product of this country, but also to indicate the financial policy which is to control our own Government. Hence, her attempt to demonetize silver by corrupting our Congress and instigat? ing our whole financial policy in the in? terest of bankers and bondholders, rather than the people. It is well that the cloven foot of English selfishness has been thus developed in this fight between the far? mers and the monopolists. In all the fcrms which this hydra-headed monster of monopoly exhibits, there is none more appalling or more injurious to the farmer and all the business interests of the coun? try, than the money monopoly. It is England's policy in the United States whioh causes her to demonetize silver here and enthrone it as the equal of gold in India. Being largely a manufacturing and commercial country, rather than agri? cultural, and holding in her possession vast amounts of the bonded indebtedness of the country, it is to her interest to re? duce the volume of money in circulation by demonetizing silver and retiring green? backs, so as to reduce the prices of all agricultural products, and tbuB enable her to feed her dense population of arti zans and laborers as cheaply as possible, and at the cost of the producers. It is well, we say, that the farmers have been thrown In the fore front of this fight against English domination in the poli? tics of America, and if they are true to themselves and their children, they aie bound to win a great victory. But to do this successfully we must stick, slick, slick. J. E. Smith, of Hamilton, has a fine stand of fall oats, which he sowed in the summer, ploughing the seed in with a double-foot plow. -We have long thought that the reason the oat crop so frequently failed, when sown in the fall, was because of the shallow ploughing. T. H. R. Honea Path Items. Mrs. Eva Smith, of Anderson, has been on a-visit here to her brother, Rev. M. McGee. Miss Anna Towers, of Marietta, Ga., honored our town with a short visit. She was visiting the family of her uncle, Rev. M. McGee. Mrs, Maggie Gladney, of Homer, La., is here, and will spend some time with her sister, Mrs. M. McGee. Our ycucg people have organized a singing choir. Prof. Henry Newton is leader and Miss Leora Harper is'organist. With all our heart we wish them success. Rev. JVM. Cann has been chosen pastor at Keowee Baptist Church for next year. We are sorry to leurn that our efficient and popular depot agent, Mr. L. S. Borte, is'sick. He has gone to his home in the country, where we hope rest,-pure air and the nursing of a kind and loving mother, with the blessing of God, will restore him to health again. Mr. C. E. Harper bought a house and lot in town a few days ago from Mr. Wan amaker, agent for Robinson, Taylor & Co., of Charleston. That was a step in the right direction. The citizens ought to own the property here. Our town will never be what it ought to be, until the property shall belong to our own people. Judge J. J. TrasseU is one of the best officers we have ever known. If all our Trial Justices were like him we would have very few little foolish law suits. Prof. J. B. Watkins has been sick for some time, but we are glad to report him strong and hearty again. Rev. Belton P. Estes has been indispos? ed for a few days, but we are proud to see bim out again.w Mr. George Shirley, a highly respected citizen a few miles below here died on last Sunday. He had by industry and economy accumulated a *considerable property. A little over-a year ago he joined the Baptist Church at Little River, where his body was buried on last Monday. His wile and children have our heartfelt sympathy. May the Lord comfort the bereaved. Our popular County Treasurer, J. C. Watkins, Esq., with Mr. J. W. Bowden to help him, came down last week and carried off a good part of the little balance of mon? ey that was left by Robinson's Circus. We like very much for our friends to visit us, but we are real giad that Watkins comes only once a year, that is in his offi? cial capacity. Let everybody around Honea Path remember to come to the "hot supper" on Friday night, November 81h. Mr. Editor, you' must be sure to come. Our people claim you on all such occasions.

We were shown some second crop ap? ples a few days, ago, grown by our good friend M. W. 'Gill'esple. They were good size, and very well developed. He says his trees have borne two crops for a num? ber of years, in thinking over it what serions reflections we have. How unlike most of us. Instead of two crops, or even one, when some of us are ro?hded up, there will he found nothing but leaves. Prof. McElroy delivered an excellent address to the Sunday School at the Grove last Sunday. His remarks were practical and pointed throughout, and greatly elicited the praise of alt present. Mr. Wardlaw'8 friends were disappointed in him not being present. The Sunday 8chool at the above Church, under the leadership of Mr. L. S. Clink scales, is doing a good work for the Mas? ter. Mr. B. A. McConpell has a hen that has done good service, the present year. She has laid and hatched forty-nine eggs, besides sit oh ahd hatched eleven ducks.

Our friend "Jay's" suggestion Borue time ago meets with our approval. We appreciate the Editors' kindness in offer? ing their office as a place of meeting. Hope Bro. "Jay" will appoint the time. BUBKE. Brushy Creek Itomsi . A rumor W&S current that Rev. A. A. Marshall would preach at Pis ^ah Church on a recent Sunday. A large congrega? tion assembled to hear him bnt he did not come. We hope he will visit us at no distant day. As a result of the tent meeting, Mr. John W. Sitton will go to preaching. He preached his first sermon at St. Paul Chtirch on Sunday night, 20th inst., and made a good beginning. . Miss Nora Smith knows how to make good syrup. It cannot be beat by any one. ? She skims" it so nicely that the skimmings make a hog drunk when they stand over night. The Piedmont Factory building on the Anderson County side of the Saluda is tho finest in the State, as far as we have seen. This Township has a store where the proprietor grins at his customers so much that they call the store "Griunettville." He does a good business, all the same. Mr. Wm. LaBoon has gone to attend the LaGrange Military School. He reports that if a student is unruly daring the week, be has to carry a sixteen-pound musket all day Saturday. A good place for unruly boys. Miss Lou Oliver, of Pickons, has been visiting relatives and friends in this sec? tion. She is highly esteemed by her nu? merous friends. Dr. R. Frank Smitb, of Gainesville, Ga., has been visiting his father's family. He has built up an extensive practice in his adopted home. Tho Methodist people are anxious for tho return of Rev. T. C. Ligon to the Piedmont Circuit. The Quarterly Con? ference of the Circuit recently granted license to three exhorters, making a total of eight since Mr. Ligon came amongst us. He is a good worker. Rev. Mr. Allen has severed his connec? tion as pastor of the Pisgah Church, and Rev. D. Weston Hiott has been elected his succcessor. Miss Daylight Barr, of Greenville, is visiting the family of Capt. J. M. Glenn. She is a most charming young lady. On Friday, 18th inut., Mr. John Long had the misfortune to break his arm by getting it caught in a belt and carrying it over a pully of his gin. Dr. Jas. 0. Rosamond has gone to Texas on a business visit. Bbtjshy. Slabtown Items. The condition* of this section of the County was never better. To mention the many improvements in the way of building and repairing would be to name nearly every man's name, which would be a big task. To pass through the coun? try and see the new dwelling houses and outbuildings, the well-cultivated fields and good crops of all kinds, and then think .what good people, good churches, good schools, and good society we have, with Heaven's blessing what may bo the future of such a people? Our days are surely days of peace, happiness and pros? perity. May they continue so to be. In union there is strength, and the Frrmers' Alliance proves this to be a fact. When we all learn the true objects of the Alliance, it will be highly praised. Re? member, farmers, what liberty is, what it costs and who is entitled to it. Attend your meetings regularly, and we will show that our object is "peace on earth and good will to all mankind." . When I think of the wealth of Anderson County and the progressive and wealthy little city of Anderson ani her intelligent citizens, and what a power the Intelli? gencer is and has been, what sound political principles it has always advo? cated ana defended, I think it ought-, to be a daily Intelligencer. I hope to see it published daily in the near future. The more the people read it, the more they want to read it. We receive our mail three times a week, and we would like to get a copy of the Intelligencer by every mail. Of course there are other good papers, but none are so dear to us as the old reliable Intelligences. I occasionally read something about big potatoes. At my house we have them that will weigh over eight pounds. A Pleasant Evening at Bnbamah Cbnrcb, Mb. Editob: The Concert given by Prof. M. L. Willis and his class for the benefit of Rahamah Church came off at the appointed time, and was a perfect success. The house was crowded and the good order and close attention indicated that the music was appreciated. The Concert began by singing the long metre doxology, then prayer by Rev. W. S. B. Ford, after which the welcome song was sung, and many other beautiful songs. A solo?'The Model Church," was sung by Mr. Erastus Scales, and was much enjoyed by all. But the greatest attraction and the sweetest music was by Prof. Willis' little daughter, Miss Lizelle, four and a half years old. She sang sev? eral pieces, which were heard distinctly by the whole audience. She sang the soprano to some pieces, and alto to others, keeping correct time and uttering every word distinctly. She is certainly a little wonder, and has tbe thanks of the entire audience for contributing so much to their enjoyment The Concert closed with benediction by Rev. Mr. Ford. In connection with the Concert the la? dies gave a hot supper, which was con? tributed to and patronized by tbe neigh? borhood generally, Presbyterians, Metho? dists and Baptists working together. The supper was very abundant, aud nice enough to please the most fastidious. The whole a flair passed off pleasantly and suc? cessfully. The net products were fifty dollars. Many thanks to all the friends who helped us in any way. E. News From Brazil. The following, which we clip from the Southern Christian Advocate, will be read with interest by the Intelligencer's readers: We have just received a private letter from Rev. John S. Mattison, of our Brazil mission, from which we make the follow? ing extract: "You will do me tho kindness to say to our friends in your State that we are quite well, and comfortably situated in our new field. My charge, the English congregation, is in a- very encouraging condition, and we have many assurances of kindly iuterest in us and our work. The brethren at this writing are all well, and are busily engaged in their several fields. Brethren W?lling and Lander, with their respective families, are well and are opening up nicely at our new quarters at Juiz de Fora. I am very much pleased with ray surroundings here, and have taken up tbe Portuguese gram? mar with more pleasure than I had imag? ined. I talk a good deal to the passers-by, but they don't alwa}rs catch the spirit of my remarks. Once, after making some very complimentary remarks, as I thought, to our milk man, he astonished me by replying that he didn't understand English. This is the coolest reception I have had, but notwithstanding these little discouragements I have married a couplo and performod other small offices in the Portuguese tongue, and have threatened one of my friends here with a letter. "The mission is in a prosperous condi? tion, and we are looking for glorious! things in the not far distant future of this' field." A Call to Pastorate. The members of Springfield Baptist Church, Abbeville - County! have very wisely called Key. P. J. Washington to bsthelf pastor for an indetinite time. Rev. Washington has been a student in tho Richmond Theological Seminary for tho last two years, but the sickness and death of his steter.so interrupted him that he cannoti for the present, finish his CoUrse in College. We cobgrattilate the people on thoir choice, because Rev. Washington ia one of ih'f vaoit highly re? spected Sobs of Anderson CoUnty. He stood well in College and now has the food will of both teacher and schoolmates, have known, him from childhood, and tber? in ?bt, t? my knowledge, a single scar on his character. Then Rev. Washington is fortunate in getting such a good call, because the Springfield Brethren are big hearted Christians, and any pastor who acts rightly will be well cared for by them. Let God's will be done and all will be well. I extend my congratulations to both church and preacher. IS. V. GassaWAV Richmond, Va. Brides In Cotton Bagging. Atlanta, Ga., October 24.?Henry W. Grady gave aw?y to day two brides, giving each a sounding smack upon the lip3. Governor Gordon, who was stand? ing near," followed suit, and the crowd yelled itself hoarse. All this occurred at the Piedmont Exposition. It was Al? liance day, and the central event was the Jjuble marriage of enthusiastic young Alliance men, the bridal party being ar? rayed in suits of cotton baggingaa a sym? bol of their contempt for the jute trust. There was a magnificent pyrotechnic display on the grounds to-night. The grounds are almost large enough for a world's fair, but to day they were covered with people. There are SOjOOO Alliance men in Georgia, and it feemed as if every one was on hand with his family. As Jones, Livingstone, Polk and Gordon spoke there were cries of "Bring on the brides/' and when at . last the speakers' stabd was cleared and the band struck up a wedding march tbe crowd went wild. The stand was between the grand stand and the race track. At a given signal the two bridal parties came up. Each pair were seated .in a carriage draped in cotton bagging and flags, aL-awn by foui white horses, which were covered with the cotton bagging. The two carriages were beaded by bands, and at the stand was another. The bridal carriages were followed by others, some of them being tbe finest private turnouts in Atlanta. Mr. Grady and the directors of the exposition re? ceived them at the stand and two emi? nent divines stood ready to perform the marriage ceremony. Both brides were good looking?one of them particularly so. The grooms were rather plain looking. The gowns of the brides were trimmed with satins and laces until they looked quite well, but tbe cotton bagging suits of the men were rather "jay." There was nothing particularly dis? tinctive about the ceremonies, except the comment of the crowd. ' After it was over there were congratulations, and then the show .was made particularly interest? ing by a contest between the cottou bag? ging cowboys and the jute Indians, the cotton boys winning, of course. The persons married are Mr. Walker Downs, a Newton County merchant, and Miss Mamie Winburn, of Conyers ; and Mr. Henry R. Wells and Miss Alice Whaley, of Gwinette County. They will be given a reception to morrow at the grounds, when they will be presented with the gifts which have been sent by all the exhibitors at the exposition and merchants fiom all over Georgia. ? Governor Gordon was booked to per? form the ceremony. An investigation of the law,, however, made by Chief Jus? tice Bleckley, revealed tbe fact that the Governor had no authority to officiate. In the emergency Rev. Dr. Barnett, pastorof the Central Presbyterian Church, and Rev. C. H. Morrison, pastor of the First Methodist Church, were substitu? ted. * A remarkable scene occurred in the city on Whitehall street an hour later. Ab the bridal procession was returning, the proprietor of a leading dry goods house offered them $50 each if they would eat dinner from a table placed in the show window. The proposition was accepted and thousands of people packed tbe street to watch tbe strange wedding feast. __ No Place Like Carolina. Columbia, October 25.?A gen tleman who has the interest of a statistician as well as of a business man in the cotton seed business draws tbe attention of the News and CbunerBureautoan interesting comparison between Western corn and Southern cotton seed as money crops. The farmer in the great corn States of the Northwest does not realize more than twenty cents a bushel for his corn. It is sold in Chicago and St. Louis to day, after passing through several hands, at from twenty-eight to thirty cents. The cotton planter in South Carolina is getting this season 20 cents a bushel for his cotton seed. If be be a good planter and makes a bale of 500 pounds to the acre he will have 1,000 pounds of Beed. As cotton seed weighs 30 pounds to the bushel the yield would be 33} bushels per acre. At twenty cents that would give him $6 G6 an acre over and above tbe $45 or more which he gets for his lint. The Iowa farmer who makes 33} bush? els of corn per acre is a good one, yet he does not receive any more money than his South Carolina competitor does for his purely surplus crop of cotton seed. If Mr. J. Suelling, of Barnwell County, who has made this year 131 bushels of corn on his prize acre, bad planted his crop in Kansas be would have received $26 20 for it. Mr. SuelliDg last year made three bales of cotton on one acre. That yield? ed him about 100 bushels of cotton seed, which would have brought him $20 in addition to the $135 or ?140 from the sale of his lint. Yet, some South Carolinians have an idea that tbe West is a more favored section than their own ! Of course, the expense of growing cot? ton is much greater than that of produc? ing corn, but this does not affect the comparison, because the expenses of cot? ton culture are charged against the lint and not tho seed. The comparison is most favorable to the Western agricultu? rist, for no account has been taken of the expenses of his corn crop. If these were considered it would be made manifest that he would have to raise fifty or sixty bushels of corn per acre to receive the profit that the Southern planter does from his cotton seed alone. Tbe cotton planter has not much to grumble at this year. It was not so very long ago that he sold bis lint at 8 cents a pound and bad no market for his cotton seed. His returns, at a 500 pound bale, to the acre, were then S40. Now, even after the drop in prices, his cotton brings 9} cents, or ?47 50 for a 500 pound bale and his cotton seed $6 G6, makings total of $54 16 or about 29 per cent, increase over the $40 of-a few years ago. -Iu these calculations the average price of seed is placed at 20 cents a bushel, but there are several places in the State where it brings 22 and even 23 cents. The competition of the oil mills is so great that prices are really higher than the market value of cotton seed oil justi? fies.?Correspondence of the News and Courier. ?Duncan T.

C, October 27.?A re? markable accident occurred in Richmond county day before yesterday, by which Calviu J. White lost his life. He waB in the second story of a building feeding a cotton gin, which was run by steam power, when the boiler exploded. The force of the explosion lifted the engine and boiler, weighing 6,000 pounds, arid situated sixty-five feet from the building, drove through one end of the building, drove it beyond, landed it upon the floor as completely as if it-had been done by hand, leaving the spot where it stood as clean as if swept with a broom. Mr. White was stricken and almost instantly killed. His body was horribly mangled. He was fifty years of age, and leaves a widow and several children. Newark, N. J., October 23.?Two well-dressed men and a woman, drove up to the German Savings Bank at 2.30 o'clock this afternoon. The men enter? ed the bank and informed Cashier Web? ster that the lady in the carriage was unable to walk and desired 13 speak to him and make a deposit. Ooe of the men and the cashier went out and held a conversation with the lady. She de? ferred making a deposit, so the cashier returned. The other man left the bank, entered the carriage and drove off. A few moments later it was discovered 'that $1,150 in bills had been stolen from behind the railing. Only two clerks were in at the time. It is supposed that the thief entered the enclosure through the gate, wh ich the cashier left open. There ia no clue to the thieves. ?

At the fusion of the American Forestry Congre?s in Philadelphia on Wednesday, Mr. S. G. McClendou, of Thomasville, Ga., spoke in a particularly interesting vein. He represented a big pine section, which is steadily growing smaller under the ravages of the axe. "The total destruction of the pine trees," he added, "would seem an incalculable disaster to the human race. It is of more value to humanity than any other tree, furnishing as it does, not only timber for houses, ships and cars, but turpentine for medicine and paint, rosin, creosote, tar and other valuable products. It keeps more people alive than even the plantain I tree." Williamston Female College.
