DEEP CBEm, Aug. 7.--While I am under many obligations to Maj. R. R. Hudgins, of Foreston, for his prompt courtesy in replying to my communication in your paper, I do not know which I am more thankful for, his information or his advice. I am satisfied that the farmers of the county will be greatly benefitted if they plant after the manner prescrib ed by him, and I hope that all the "Creekers" will follow his instructions in preparing for another corn crop. It is very kind of the Major to teach us how to raise the "staff of life," but when he advises us, in case of failure, to go to Liberia in search of that highly flavored fruit, the succulent bananna, he is either trying to guy us or else his pomological knowl edge is somewhat "abreviated." If I am not very much mistaken the 1uscious laxury alluded to is about as scarce in Liberia, as one-hundred bushels-to-the-acre corn is around Forestog. The Major's allusion to my hunting and fishing to the nelect of my farm was en tirely gratuitous as it is well known to all my neighbors that I posses zither dog, gun, nor fishing tackle. I will, however, pardon him for the accusation if he will tell me whether it is best to gather corn *while it is silking and tasseling or wait until the ear is matured. I believe he has tried both plans. CREERKER. Belting, .Pocking, Ulls, and Alll s5?ppe generally; lowest prices, also, a ft secona(-hud Gins and Presses. Lorick & Loecrance, Colwr la & C. Vote at the Primary next Tuesday. It is the duty of every Democrat to vote at the primary election next Tuesday. . A store house, one of the best coun try stands in the county, is advertised for rent. The candidates meet at Mr. J. J. Harvin's to-day and in Salem to-mor row and Friday. Wbat has become of our correspon dents?. The e'ditor sorely needs their help this hot weather. The concert and entertainment Thursday evening promises to be something extra good. The thanks of all hands in the TrIEs office are extended to Mr. J. M. Poun cey for a lot of fine peaches. Mr. A. S. Briggs last week bad open cotton in his field-the earliest we have heard of in this county. Next Tuesday is the day when a Democrat's vote counts. Let every man come to the polls, and cast a ote. Lightning recently struck the ground in several places, in and near this place, killing all vegetation in the 1 immediate vicinity. A mad dog was killed in town last Sunday, and another Monday. This hot weather is favorable for produc ing rabid canines. Lumber of all kinds for sale at lowest figures by D. M. Bradham, and delivered without extra charges anywhere within the incorporated limits of the town. A protracted meeting is in progress at the Baptist church. Rev. T. J. Rooke, the pastor, is assisted by Rev. N. B. Williams of Sumter. Consider able interest is manifested. The ladies of the Methodist church of Manning invite the public to a musical entertainment interspersed with recitations or readings in the Court House Thursday evening, at 7 o'clock. Ice cream, lemonade, and cake will be on hand. The avails will be for the benefit of the Metho dist parsonage. The editor of this paper is exceed ingly fond of good things, and espe cially of big, nice, large, luscious wa termelons, just such a one as was sent him the other day by a friend. It was a forty pounder, and was as nice as it was big. It was the big gest melon we have seen in this county this year. There will be a cheap excursion to the mountains next - Tuesday morn ing, Aug. 14th. The price from Man ning for a return ticket is: to Spar tanburg $5.00; to Greenville $5.50; to Hendersonville $6.50; to Asheville $7.25. From Sumter, tickets will in each case be 45 cents less, and from Wedgefield 95 cents less than from Manning. Tickets are good leaving Manning Aug. 14th, and to return to Sept. 1st. This is a remarkably cheap excursion, and we presume will be largely patronized, as it gives a two weeks' stay. Agriculural Meeting. The Clar endon Agricultural Association met in the Court House last Saturday, with a much larger attendance than usual. Mr. L. H. Deschamps and Capt. D. J. Bradham made speeches in favor of a sepa rate agricultural college. Messrs. T. J, Cole, Jos. Sprott, Sr., Ezra Tindal, and L. H. DeSehamps spoke briefly on "cotton seed meal vs. unground cotton seed." The executive committe asked for further time in making their report as to the best manner of raising funds for erecting an ag ricultural hail. The following subjects were selected for essays at the next mueeting: "What is the best manner of using cotton seed as a fer tilizer?" "What is the most preferable way of utilizing pea vines ?" and "What is rust n cotton ?" These appointed to treat on these subjects are respectively, Col. J. E. Tindal, Capt. T. J. 31. Davis, and gapt D. J. Bradhnm. Turnip Seed, all Kinds at Dinkins & Co.'s Drug Store. Notes from Wilson's. Wu.sor's, Aug. 7.-A tnatch game of base ball was arranged to take place at Capt. Coskrey's, on Saturday afternoon last, be tween the Brewington and the Coskrey clubs, but owing to the inclement weather both clubs were only parthidly represented. As quite a number of people had ass'em bled to witness the game enough young men to inaugurate a scrub game were taken from the spcctators and the fun com menced. The contestants were all very much in earnest, and with the bright eyes of several young ladies to urge themn on to victory they put in some good work, and made tL~e game a very interesting one. The score stood 13 to 11 in favor of the successful nine, Mr. Edgar S. Plowden, captain. Af ter the combat ceased a water-mnelon feast was participated in by the crowd, and the afternoon, notwithstanding the rain, was a very enjoyable one. I do not know any section of the county that can boast of as many lovely and beautiful young ladies as are to be found in this neighborhood, and after spending the afternoon in their charm ing society I canre home to dream of huge melons being opened by glances from the brightest of eyes, sliced up by fairy fin gers, and the banquet presided over by the queen of the houri.

For a time previous to our recent municipal election, the question of building a town hail was warmly a: itated; and so fervent appeired the advocates and so united the sen timent we believed the accomplish ment sere near-even at.the door. The only source of disagreement was the location, the most suitable place. Here the different sections "drew sword" in friendly contest-for supply ing a site, upon which to erect the cdi tice. But since the election, very little has been said upon the subject; and why ? The people of our town should not allow minor differences to strangle in the hour of its birth an enterprise, the advantages of which to place and people it would be difficult to enum erate; nor is it necessary that these results should be here recounted. We all know them; we all admit them in the main. It is earnestly hoped that the people will lay aside person I al preferences, and all work for the "Hall." Our Council is composed of men willing to advance the public in terest; and if aided by a united senti ment will go to work, and set the ball in motion, and keep it going, - til we shall have a hall worthy of our towu. The Mannin: T!lk. The fall of the ver comes on ,apaen, and with its golden harvests and whitening nelds, we are retninded that the b~usy bus le of barter anl traflie will soon again claim our thiats and attention. In view of this opening trade. our miands naturally turn to blusiness needs. While taking a careful survcs of the field, no sy4ect directs our attention with more force, than that relative to the oft dis cussed one of the bank enterprise. It would prove a work of supererogation to name, in an age like this, the advantages resulting from such an effort. It is not one of theory or speculation. not a doubtful in stitution. 'It is ever one of the attendants n prosperity. activity, enrligltenment, and wealth. Is it for the rich alone? PBy no means. It comes as the st rvants of all farmers, mechanics, merchants, lawyers, and doctors. The shares are in reach of the slender purse of the poor, and can relieve the plethoric pouches of the wealthy. As a business venture it pays elsewhere, and why not in the beautiful and stirring town of Manning? The prospects must bave been inviting in our sister city of Sumter. Notwithstanding the staggering blow sus tained, scarcely had the requiem been chanted over the departed chashier and the dead bank, when the vaulted capital from there and other places sought exit through the paying teller of a new bank; and busi ness progressed as though it had received no shock whatever. Let our leading business men here take the initiatory steps; and if they only lend a part of theii- means, and a goodly portion of the energy that has made Manning what it. is, it needs no prophetic vision to fore tell that success is assured, and a lo jll wad supplied. - The Weather. The town and surrounding country has been visited in the past few days by delightful health-giving showers of rain, much to the comfort of our people, who had bee sweltering! amid the sweeats of a thernimeter at 95 degrees. - The effect of this intense heat and long continued drought, in many sec tions of our county, has been to par tially destroy the corn crops, and damage very seriously the cotton. We trust, however, that these recent heavy rains, though late, will revive the drooping crops and spirits of our farmers. Notwithstanding these heavy show ers, the heat still continues up) to a point almost beyond endurance. '.The nights with their usually cooling shades appear to lend full force to the oppression of the day, the ra diated heat, almost equaling the temn peraure of noon, with the thermome ter slightly fallen. Very Drunk. We have been told that a colored man by name of Grant had a pint of liquor offered him by a lad, from an adjoining county, if the former would' drink the same at one "setting down." The terms proved, apparently, very agreeable and acceptable; but very sortly after taking down the "chain ed lightning"-found in barrooms gen erally these days, the man collapsed so completely as to lay in a stupor, from which it was apprehended he would never awake. But active emet ics having been given him, the deadly stuff was partially discharged and relief afforded. Horrible indeed must be the slavery that drives one to such extremities.

For the past ten years I have been afflicted with dreadful eruptions on my face, caused by ivy poison. I was under the treatment of a number of physicians, but obtained no relief I tried the best "blood puriflers" in the market, but without avail. I had given up in despair, thinking I could not be cured; but happening to read the Detroit Journal, I noticed S. S. S. advertised and read Mrs. Bradley's testimonial. I thought I would try this remedy. I have taken eight bot tles, and there is not a spat oln my face. It has also cured me of chronic ca tarrh. I have never enjoyed better health than I do at present. I feel like a new person. I cannot find words suficeient to express my appre ciation of its merits, and the gratitude I feel for the glad tidings that came to me through the reading of that advertisement.

Such an experience should have taught the les.son that the people are not likely to be content with such subjunctive pro:ises. The above is from the Marion Star, and the informant of the Star is mis taken in his assertion. In our issue of July 11th, we reported the neet ing and what Gov. Richardson sai in both speeches. Had the Star's in formant been present, and seen the enthusiastic cheering of that conven tion, he would never have made such a reckless assertion. There were a few persons in the convention oppos ed to Gov. Richardson, but not enough to have prevented a hea.ty endorse ment of his renomination, with or without any speeches 1-y him. Tilh:ian in ('harlen' I. Cj1.uu.FLsrox. Aug. 4.--The demo cratic mass :neetiug, called by the State executive committee, came of in front of the city hall last night. Gov. Richardson was the first speaker. He entertained his audi ence in his usual eloquent style. Lieut. Gov. Mauldin made his bdst ef fort since the campaign opened. His strongest point was in support of the acceptance of the Clemson bequest. The little white-haired, clean-shav ed, one-eyed farmer from Edgefield dispelled their eloquence with a state ment of such an array of uncontro verted facts as carried conviction to the hearts of every true democrat present that a careless want of econo my has crept into our administration, though we prefer not to hear of it. Comptroller General Verner was on hand for the express purpose of re futing, with the records, Tillman's charges, but signally failed; many were not even contradicted savo in an evasive way. Your correspondent is not in full sympathy with Capt. Tillman, never theless will truthfully report what he deserves, that your readers may not be deceived by the report of last night's meeting contained in the Necs and Courier, but know how Charles ton, judging from that assemblage, stands. The meeting was a large rep resentative body of intelligent white citizens, and by great odds a Tillman sympathising audience. The masses seem to realize the strangulation they have suffered at the hands of the po litical rings and packed conventions, and it does not take the eye of a prophet to see a storm coming that wil raise the negro vote to an exceed ingly important factor in our State election twvo years hence, if therc is uot a change. If the wisdom of those in authority don't direct their thoughts more to the needs-:iay, wants-of the gricultural class of our' citizens there ill be no mistaking where to place the responsibility when the crisis :omes. It is not the man but the fol owing of Capt. Tillman that is dan gerous. A change of leadership with it, means a change of government for South Carolina. M. C. G. Sharpers Abroad. A month or two since, some parties passed throug this county with a umber of fine horses for sale, and succeeded, in a manner, no doubt, very gratifying to themselves. But, to the discomfiture of the purchasers here and elsewhere, it came to lighti last week that the horses were under mortgage in another State; and the irate mortgagee has turned up as claimant. We learn with regret, that one of our leading lumber men bought perhaps the best horse of the lot, and will most probably have to maintain his purchase before the courts. It is reported, and very likely true, that others in adjoining sections, have sus tained even heavier losses. As usual, these bold border-riders did not al low the grass to growv under their feet, and are now eujoying the pro eeds of a dashing and daring ven ture. DYSPEPSIA. S that misery experlieed when we sud Idenly become aware that we possess a dabolical arranizemient called a stomach. The stomach is the reservoir from which every tibre and tissue must be nourished, and any trouble wI lh it is soon felt througih out the whole sy-stema. Among a dozen dyspeptics no tw~o will have the samet pre dommiantsymnptomls.

We had intended making a full re port of the Greenville Encampment, but other matter crowded it out last week. The encampment was a suc cess. Every body appeared to be in a good humor, and we did not, on the entire trip, or during our stay in the city, see anything like rowdyism. The Manning Guards did themselves credit, and had all the fun they were looking for, too. Their tents were placed at the entrance to the encamp ment, next to the city, and as every body generally passed in that way, almost all the mischief done in the camp was charged to their account. A crowd of other fellows would come in from the city, at a late hour of the night, and managing in some way to overpower the "sentinel on his lonely beat," would with a wild "rebel yell" rush into *quarters. The Manning Guards got all the credit for tbis, but we are assured by the officers that they were not ir fault. Our boys were not as well drilled as some oth er companies, but we hope that by the next encampment they will be up with the best. Our merchants should encourage them by giving them a lit tle more time in the afternoon. Greenville is a growing town, and has been christened the "Pearl of the Piedmont." Hundreds of acres of grapes are in cultivation in and near the city. Other fruits are cultivated largely. Railroads and manufactur ing enterprises are building, and on the whole it is a thriving, bustling, booming, busy town. The balloon ascension was an inia ted failure: it refused to act, as the small boy would remark. The fire works were very good, but an admis sion fee of fifty cents was charged, and as every body expected it to be free, there was some little grumbling in consequence. There was a large number of mili tary present on the encampment. but not a great deal of drilling was done. The grand review and parade in the city Friday was a beautiful display. The soldiers marched about - three miles on the route. Absolutely Pure. 'This powder never varies. A marvel of purity, strength and wholesonmeness.
