The expectant grin on the faces of the old Radical thieves will disappear just as soon as they see that there will be no split in the Democratic party. Several parties injured in the recent accident at the Santee trestle on the Northeastern Railroad have brought suit against the company for damages. We understand that some of the old Radical politicians of Orangeburg are very anxious for a paper here. They must expect a split in the Democratic party.

Bowesvllle J>ots. Rowesville, S. C, June 14,1886. Having been so enthusiastic-ally en gaged filling the kind invitations t,o picnics and trying-to demoralize Gen. Green who seems to want to annihilate the young king cotton, the week passed away before we thought it half gone; of course the half that we devoted to picnics is the part that fitted by, the other behind the plow was long and irksome. We have had a superabun dance of rain, and the weather indica tions are favorable for more. All crops are looking fine and have the appear ance of an abundant yield. My young friend and neighbor farmer (J. D. B.) has an excellent prospect. .Should sea sons continue favorable, he has sevend acres that will produce one bale of cot ton each. Mr. 1*. S. Crum also has a remarkably fine crop, corn especially, some acres* will make as much as Jorty five or fifty bushels. There is not much to be said about my "dude" farmer this week, except that he is taken away with picnics and the old "Gen." is about to-capture his little Pcterkin. Once a fellow cultivates a taste for picnics, he is sure to leave his crop uncultivated. There arc some energetic young men around here, but their energy runs in too shallow a chan nel and is too easily darned. There are others who strike" their first furrow .this season, their cotton and patches are small and their expectations of a "mogul" capacity. The community from Rowesville to Branchville were in attendance at an Ascension's day picnic at "Bights Bluff' on the Edisto, and excuse the expres sion for 'tis the truth, it was the most bountif ully filled tabie?well it appear ed that the table groaned under its tre mendous load, but when my young male friends and myself left, it was lighten ed up?onsiderably. Most of the young men made good use of the day by talk-, ing to their sweethearts, and those who had no sweethearts went fishing, every body rejoiced that they had none, or else there would have been no fish for dinner. Jamison base ball club visited Rowes ville several days ago with the inten tion of giving the latter a licking, but after the dinner served by two of the prettiest young ladies in Rowesville and a trial of five innings they came to the wise conclusion that it was a more difficult task than they anticipated, the score stood 17 to 27 in favor of the home club. They will play again on Satur day at Jamison the second in a series of games. The affable and accomplished Miss Lizzie Keogh, of Charleston, is on a visit to friends at this place. She is a very popular young lady and report has it that a young gentleman up here is so much impressed that he has an idea of extending an invitation to her to locate. May it be so, for she would certainly be an acquisition to the place. Capt. Bowman is making rapid head way with tho vast improvements on his" dwelling. When completed will present the appearance of a modern city residence._CLX. C. ' Ward oef Death.?This is trie sea son when the strictest precautions should be taken to preserve health. Premises should be kept clean, and the city's sanitary regulations should be heeded. Apropos of this subject is the following from an exchange: "Xo longer does Death go about 'as i\?u$t> ing lion seeking whom he may devour.' The bold and aggressive policy which the destroyer of life pursued" during the "Winter months has been abandoned and a stealthy, treacherous, Indian method of warfare is now adopted. Death overheats Iiis victims on the tennis court and doses them with ice water afterwards. lie lurks in unripe fruit. In a Massachusetts village re cently die made an unsuccessful attack on seventy-five people under cover of ice cream and cake. lie darts his deadly shafts from the rays of the noon-clay sun. He poisons the streets with noxious gases and disperses wide cast the bacilli of fevers and cholera. Look out for him. lie gives no warn ing, and lurks in ambush like an Apache warrior. Unceasing vigilance is the price of health at this dangerous sea son." j_ A Good Game.?Church sociables are somewhat common throughout the North, being gatherings of congrega tions for social intercourse and more intimate personal acquaintance. That some of them are not entirely satisfac tory is shown by the fact that a Boston, clergyman was recently asked Ayhat he did iii his church to break up the habit, so freqent at church sociables, of ladies arranging themselves in rows or flus ters, thereby causing the gentlemen to do the same. His answer was that the game of "missionary" was the best and most popular way of doing it, and on being asked for an explanation of the game, gave the following: "We ar range all the ladies about the room, and request a gentleman to stand directly in front of each of them. Then it is announced that the young ladies arc to represent the 'missionaries' and the young gentlemen 'heathen.' A signal is then given, and the heathen then embraces ?Christianity*."

I'm a subscriber to your valuable paper, of which, by perusal, I obtain all of our county news and feel fully satisfied, that everything I read is just and correct statements of things de tailed, but from our little run every thing is so shallow, uninterested, or afraid of doing something wrong or spelling a word incorrectly that I never see a word in print from our little side, and now Mr. Editor, I will give only a short sketch at present, but will lengthen a little in my next, which will be shortly, and let our adjourning townships know we are still alive, and doing some pretty fair work in ftie great agricultural industry. Up to the last unusually hard rains our stand of cotton as a general thing was not good, but soon after when the sun came out I never did see so much little cotton at once. All the crops around me are tolerably well worked up and looks ex ceptionally line. Mr. J. D. Livingston, laid by a line field of corn week before last. Oat .crop almost an entire failure. What few is are spring oats heading so low to the ground that it will be a poor gather. Mr. Tilly Fogle, of our vicinity has-a Xo. 1 field of wheat. D. X. Carson greatly damaged from the hard rains. Application was made last week for Hebron Academy. Our Xew Church, Xew Hebron, which was com menced some four years ago, has just the hull and windows hung up to date. Our church is in a very cold state, but we think our pastor Dr. L. S. Bellinger is just the right man and in tho right place to make the lukewarm arise and come to a sense of duty. Long may the Dr. live and be in our midst. He bron Democratic Club meets at Hebron Acadeniy, on June 17th, at 2 o'clock P. M., for the purpose of organizing a Farmers' Democratic Club. Capt. J. II.

President Cleveland's Wedding. The Graphic Xews, of Cincinmiti, of June 12th, will be quite extensively devoted to the President's recent wed ding. The illustrations, all especially interesting because of their originality, will include the representation of tile ceremony, Miss Folsom and her mother out riding, the President receiving congratulations, the cottage at Deer Park, where the honeymoon is being spent, the car in which the bridal trip was made, and many other pictorial features of this leading event of the decade. This will be an unusually valuable copy, especially for its histori cal worth. Accompanying the issue of June l'Jth will be a magnificent colored supplement of "Fabiola," a reproduc tion of a famous painting. The sou venir will be a beautiful work of art. None should miss either of these fine numbers of our brilliant cotcmporary. What music to take to the sea-shore or mountains, is a question which Oliver Ditson & Co., answer by the announcement of the following attrac tive publications: Avonia llonney's capital setting to Robert Hums' char acteristic ballad.

"Happy Wilder Night," forty cents, and Lillian K. Maxwell's meritorious grand march. Guiding Mar." thirty cents. Reside these, are Folk Song, Romance, Lullaby, Hunting Song, Little Snow drop's Funeral and Bright Morning: captivating short and not difficult piano-pieces at twenty-live cents each, by the eminent composer, Carl Weber. No sox<;s arc more popular with old and young, with sisters, cousins ami sweet-hearts, as well as College stu dents, than those contained in Hitson's famous College Song Hooks. The latest of these, and by far the largest and most attractive' collection ever pub lished at fifty cent-, is their remark ably popular I.k entitled "College Soiigs." It has appeared in a revised edition, just in time to contribute its "jollity jingle and go"' to the pleasures of vacation time.

The day of trial among the little folks of Congaree have come at last and they faced the music in good cheer, and Professor W. D. Hill, like a hero, opens the exercises with a broad asser tion by saying gentlemen, ladies and the patrons of this school, if I do not show you the best examination to day you have ever witnessed, I will give the patron who says so a receipt in full for his tuition. lie accomplished his sayings. The exercises of the day opened with recitation of geography. First class, one in class, perfect; Second class, nine in class, six perfect; Master Brnington Heape, Lars and Annie Braddy are entitled to the honors of this class according to age; Third class, nine in class, aged between seven and nine. This entire class is entitled to much honor for their perfection, three of whom were placed before the black; board and fully demonstrated mathe matics and geography. These were the three youngest, namely, Rassel llilde brand, Jack Antly and Cicero Wise. Spelling came on next in dictionary. Twenty in class. This was also a per fect lesson and the ei*tire class deserves credit, and more especially the Profes sor, for these perfect lessons shows he has not spent his time idly. Then fol lowed history. First class, from colo nial times to the history of the late war, by Miss Minnie Braddy, Miss Willie and Master Eddie Braddy. This lesson was also perfect except a few dates. Eddie when a little over half through miscalled a date the second time, when the professor rose and said: Eddie, my son, do not get excited if you all would miss a half dozen of those dates that would be nothing. They are hard to remember, for I cannot re member the date of the month and the year 1 was born unless I refer to the ?ld family bible. Laughter. This put a smile on Eddie's face, and the work went on charmingly. Second history, ten in class, Annie Braddy, Minnie Wise, Eddie Braddy and Wiliio Braddy are intitled to the honors of this class for a close score. Third class, live in class, Brnington Heape took the honors Arethmetic, lirst class, seven in class, Minnie Braddy, William Ezeikel,Eddie Braddy. Aggie Wise, Minnie Wise, Willie Braddy and Annie Braddy, all of whom are* entitled to high honors for making a clear score. Second cla;s, thirteen in class, Frank Wise Brnington Heape, Ulive Heape, honors fora clear score. Second honors, Shelton Wise and Cisero Wise. Third honors, Rossel Uildebrand, Tommie Braddy and Jack Antley. The Professor then took some of his youngest scholars to the black board and gave them a few sums each in addition" and multiplication which was correctly done, and said gentlemen there they are keep them at work if you think 1 have them posted. This ended the work. May the Professor and family live a long and happy life and success follow him. We must not forget to mention that Miss Minnie Braddy did not miss a word in her whole* resitations and she deserves honor for it. COXGAREE. Some Practical Suggestions. Eutawville, S. C, June 12th, 1880. We are in the midst of a wet season and crops, are bouyent, as well as grass and weeds, etc.:say you, we know that, fell us something we do not know. Well we suppose editors are much learned and could not look for anything original or entirely new from a scribbler and we must beg pardon Mr. Editor. We write for the information of your readers, ami hope to get them to think ing or acting for themselves, for it is plainly to be seen that too many of our farmers allow the factors and mer chants to do their brain work, whose dupes and slaves they are. What has become of "Critic?" Has cheap cotton and Cincinnati bason killed him out. I have not noticed his obituary. If living I suppose his time and attention is turned entirely toward the move ments of'Gen. Green, whose forces are advancing in double column and is receiving fresh reinforcements from each shower of rain, and many cotton totts will have to meet a heavy guano bill this Fall, a large per cent, of which has passed into grass and weeds, which will rot on the surface and cause many to pay a heavy doctor bill in the Fail season. Out farmers need the advice of experienced and practical men, and " I know of no one better fitted than "Critic." He should not become weary from the fact that he does not see the good result of his labor at once. Noah preached one hundred and twenty years to the antideluvians and never made a single convert. Yet lie faithfully warned them of the troubles ahead. So our farmers must be continually warned of the sin und folly of planting all cotton. Now is the time for plant ing peas, transplanting potatoes. Stick out every nuke and corner with them, prepare "plats of land for turnips, this crop and in fact all root crops, are too much neglected by our farmers, they arc very valuable during the winter as a change of diet for both man and beast. Sow peas broadcast and turn under in October and sow oats and harrow in. Do this early in (ictober or September and you will seldom ever fail to reap a large yield. The road to prosperity for our farmers is very plain and inviting, if they will act : wisely and promptly. Surely they I will hot lind it by planting cotton to the exclusion of other crops. The village is wrapped in the sweet embrace of Mnrpheoiis ,-md we feel inclined to join Lhem with the lonely notes of the 1 wliippoorwill playing upon the sense of hearing, it now low 1-. Good night.
