The Rev. gentleman has been specially endowed by nature for his I work; and we think, all who hearda him will agree with us, in saying of 1: him, what has been said of Castellor, c the Spanish Orator, that he is "a per-C fect machine of human, vocal utter- g ance."e The Executive Committee of the t Agricultural Club has arranged the following subjects for discussion at the next meeting of the Club: "The value of ammoniated fertiliz ers"-to be opened by Mr. Anderson Mills. j "Is colt raising poial"b r W.

Mn. Fprror: This is a real spring lay, "the loveliest day of all the glad ew Year," and it inspires me with he hope that the winter has surely >assed away. The fruit trees are just eginning to bloom, and the gardens ire very backward. I remember hear ng my father, who was a very sue essful farmer, say, that he always :ed to plant his corn on, or about :he 10th of March, but as yet I have ieard of no one planting corn. Near y everyone in this community is suf ering from the effects of bad colds. - -our correspondent being numbered n the list of unfortunates. Mrs. H. . Briggs has been suffering for two veeks past with a very severe attack )f inflammatory rheumatism, and is :onvalescing very slowly. Her moth r, Mrs. Mary Brailsford, has been vith her during her illness. Since I rote to you last, we have had several )easant little sociables, and one de ightful dance ii our neighborhood )th Sumter and Manning were hand omely represented at the latter. 'here has also been several visitorsj :within our gates," among whom I ill mention Misses Lena and Susie ,railsford, from the Sand Hills. Miss ollie Physioc, from Packsville, Miss s Inez Clark and Ella Butler, from anning, Mr. Ashley Briggs from umter, and last, but not least, the be ved pastor of the Summerton Presby rian Church, Mr. Garriss. As I ave told vou before, our neighbor ood is very pleasant, and others. con ur with me in that belief, for a young: aan residing near Summerton, was eard to remark that "he thought he o'6d live twenty years longer if he xed on Sa'nmy swam p." He at ends our dances, and that accounts :r his partiality to this place. Since earing of that remark, I have consid red him a young man of excellent ste and judgment. Our farmers ave been very busy for the past week auling their guano from Manning :is a long tedious trip, and very try aon the horses and mules. As an xampe of the many trials that a rirer has to contend with, I will elate the following incident: Last January Capt. W. S. Briggs1 ired two white men, Cornelius Knox nd Samnuel Lee, from upper Salem. ~apt. Briggs furnished Lee with a ragon and horse to go for his sister ,rho has since kept house for him and nox. They were put into a nice irm house and had every kindness own them-they worked remnarka ly well and were considered the best ands on the place, in fact, by strict ttenion to their business, and good ehaviour, they succeeded in thor ughly worming themselves into the laptin's favor. Last week they beg cd hima to get for them a suit of lothes, so that they "might visit in be neighborhood and form some ac uaitances.' He took them to Man tgon Thursday and mzot for them a nit apiece with hats and shoes. Sun Lay morning last, to use an Irish rase, "they turned up missing." 3y severely cross questioning Miss ee. who was not inclined to be com unicative, Capt. Briggs found that Tox had packed his valise, and with see, had left before daylight, intend og to stop at a house on the place of i. Dudley Hodge, before returning rom Salem. He immediately set out or Manning, and getting his brother, Jr. A. S. Briggs, proceeded in search >f the men and the clothes, for which hey still owed about $25. Fortun .tely Capt. Briggs found them a heir friend's house. an ot within ew feet of them he men tried to s, - mention > leaving, but the packed valise con uted their statement Knox and ~e begged to be taken back again, >ut were informed that the clothes vere wanted, not them. 'And so the aptain wended his way homeward vith he clothes, and the men were eft to their meditations and-such >ld garments as they had chanced to mut in their valise. Lee has not yet ~eturned for his sister, but has left 2er at a strange place and to the mer y of strangers.I Fortunately Capt. Briggs can .easily 'eplace these hands, so their loss will 2t effect him much. Knox and Lee 2ave been guilty of base ingratitude md dishonor, for they left, without a ause, but I suppose they belong to the roving order who, "Fold their tents, like the Arabs, And as silently steal away." I have transgressed nmy usual limit, and will close, hoping that yon will pardon this lengthy article. SAMMYI SWAM.. Stop that New Deal Hurrah. The newspapers throughout t State are exercising themselves ov the subject of a "New Deal." Sor are in favor of a "new deal," as th, call it, to the exclusion 6f prese State officials from Governor dow Others are equally satisfied with t] present incumbents. We think that the deal is good e enough. It is a shuffle that may I needed. As is always the case wh< cards run together there is apt to I a great many slips. As a rule, spli always redound to the benefit of tl dealer. We have not had a goc shugle since 1876; but we had bett< forego both another shuffie and ne deal unless we can produce a mirael It seem to us that, if we play with full deck, it matters not who deals long as both the shuffle and deal a: kept out of the hands of the bla< legs. We are told that when St. Peter ar the Devil played poker for a soul, aE the Devil turned up four aces, S Peter had to produce five kings I beat him. It was not the result thi was to be complained of; but the Dei il never expected the intervention of miracle. Our Radical enemies are just wai ing for a new deal to be called for i consequence of the number of split but it will require another mirac. like that of 1876 to save every moth( on of us from quitting the boar dead broke if the Devil wins.-Palme to Post.
