McLeod is having erect ed on West-Boundary street a very neat and handsome cottage building which adds very much to the appear ance of the locality. The Messrs. Mc Roy are the contractors to do the work. The fourth and last Quarterly Con ference of the Methodist church was held at this place last Saturday. On Sunday Presiding Elder Beasley preached an able and instructive ser mon, at the morning service, from the tedL: "Only the pure in heart shall see God." The same subject was contin ned in his discourse at the night Union-service, held in the Manning Presbyterian church. Last Sabbath evening, while the different congregations were engaged in worship, suddenly and not far from the Court House square there burst upon the still night air the oft-repeat ed blasts of some instrument, that sounded very much like a fox-hunter's horn calling to dogs; and the dogs all over town, especially those of thg hound persuasion, responded in an swering howls. This wanton disre gard of the sanctity of the day ar gues badly for some one. Even though he may have no religious scrupleshimseif, he ought to respect the opinions of others. . i pleasad to r.ote the fact that there is ' ,-ery rIvely inereased acre g plared in sugar cane the pros : Th ig.: is hopeful one, 2d" e:taihes god grounds for cm:hle ;cn. that tie ti:c has conme when our farms have b'.en to real i thy mportance of diversifying their erops. Those who have not yet eome ncovinced that something more than -nru and cotton can be raised is this courtry might profit by foicn theng example of these wideawake "pIaters. This amber cane, the kiid usually planted, is said to be a thrifty, harly species, easily made and the sirup when well pre pared equal to the genuine ribbon cane product. The Blasted Cotton. There appears to be wide spread alarm on the part of our farmers, in consequence of the damage done to the cotton already opened and to the partially opened bolls, during the recent terrific storms of rain that al most every day for two weeks or more deluged the whole country. The open cotton, in many instances, as we stated last week, presents the unusu al and almost unheard of spectacle of the seed sprouting in the lint while still upon the stalks. In some in stances these cotton sprouts are two inches high and contain two leaves. The outlook is far from being cheer ful and promising. Another Road Trouble in Salem. Last Tuesday, Sep. 11th, the Board of County Commissioners held a meeting in Motts Town ship, in Salem, to take in the full merits of a new public road, recently granted by the Board. The aforesaid road, though only a mile in length, has been a bone of great con tention, and threatens to be the fruit ful source of more to come. The reg ulai~ petition was duly handed in, and all the necessary steps taken for open ing the road, when some of the par ties lhving near the road came over, and after inspecting the signatures, pronouncedI some of thern forgerier. There being so much feeling in the matter, and a counter-petition largely signed, and placed on fle in the Coin niioners' office, by many whose names appeared upon the original paper, it was deemed necessary to overlook the grounds, and take testi mony, before any further action was considered. The two sides for and against the road, are said to be up to fever heat; and trouble may rise from it yet. Bees Caused Trouble. As Mr. John Carroll, of the Bammy Swamp section of this county, was sitting on his pia las4 Sanday, enjoying the quietude of that still Sabbath morning, a herse dashed into his yard with a buggy loaded with occupants. Instantly a crash was heard. The buggy had collided with a tree, ad at the same time had upset a bee hive in the yard. The queen and her subjects flew to arm?s, and resented the in tusion, by opening a vigorous battle. The horse kickied and gro'ined, but he was en taged. Dogs howled, cows lowed, chieh ns sz.il~e, womz' shrieked, and chii lre. r :td, as tie abdtl waged.

GEImmLE, Sept. 14.-After a few days' sunshine another heavy rain to-day from the south. The late cloudy and rainy weather of two weeks' duration has seriously injured cotton and some late provision crops, while upland rice though well grown and fully headed out is found almost entirely without grain, owing it is supposed to want of sufficient moist ure at the right time. In other por tions of the country cyclones and overfows, and in New England frost, have been perhaps more destructive. The primary election of the 8th inst. resulted in continuing in office two out of three members of the Leg islature, and five out of ten county officers. With us the primary is a simpler process than with you. The white voter is not required to have his name on a club list. If he is qualified to vote at the general elec tion, and is a consistent Democrat, no more is required. Candidates are assessed for campaign purposes, and they are notified that the names of those who.pay will be found on a list at the voting places. When the votes are counted and aggregated the can didate having the greatest number is dechrcd no:minated. and there's an end of it George . Greeley, of Boston, has written to the post master here rsk ing to be informed for whom ti;? place was named. and if there were particuiar reasons for so naming i. He is writing up the geneaiogy of thie Greeley fatily, and designs adding a ch'.oter on the to.ns in the United States having this name. Thus an other link will be added to Williams burg's historic chain. Recently a festival was held in the new depot here, and a handsome sum of money realized, which will be ap plied to improvements on the Mount Hope Baptist Church. But for the rain interfering, doubtless much more would have been realized. Our friend, E. B. Rhodus, was nom inated for Trial Justice for this Town ship at the late primary. J. M. B.

Upon asking why he was in this condition he gave us the following account of his troubles. Says he, "Our cook's sister's mother's daughter has eloped with one of the young men from Mallett's, and I was waited upon this morning by a young brother of of the bride-elect, and in formed that we would have to do the best we could for breakfast. This, of course, was an exciting bit of news. Upon inquiry later we were fortunate enough to obtain an interview with the groom, and from him got the fol lowing history of the affair: "Boss, youner know how it am wid we. We not so fortinit as youner. Youner all haemny fer git marry on, and yonrgtmarry and have big time. When we have to git we gal we do de best we kin do, 'specially when de al's muddler conjects to de disunion. oss, dats de way wid we, we -git de notion in we hed dat we git marry any how so I take 'him fer ter walk Sunday ebenin and me and him walks right up to Mannings and der we get der~ rebbern ter marry we right dere. Boss youner ought to hear how him mudder rare round, she sware she gine fer kill we both if we come back 'specially me. But boss we gine ter go to Georgia wid Capt. Mellett, den him mudder can't git up wid him. Now boss der freight train am comin and I promise him I go up on de freight and we go right on ter Georgia." As the train pulled off the darkey who is known as "Dutch~ stood on the rear of the coach, and shouted to his friends, "I go up and git him and we go ter Georgia den him mudder can do as him please."M So ended the interview, and your orrespondent was about to return to his home, thinking that the intereste ing topics of the day had been diae cussed and that there was nothing more for his ears when he was some what astonished to hear that our post master was selling postal cards at the rate of twenty-six for a cent and a quarter. This we find is the case. Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Nelson were presnted Sunday morning with a Ae large boy. Our congratulations jto the happy couple. i. F. Z. A1 vi ool :',reavy. .Teans, 35 cen.ts, at F.

Our Bethlehem correspondent, writes us, under date of Sep. 5th: I have investigated the reported hanging by Kl Klux in Salem of one Ben Brand, alias Ben Evans, recently reported in the Tams, and find there is no truth whatever in it. Brand or rather Evans was publicly whipped in the day time by a party of unmask ed citizens, white and colored, and or dered-to leave the'county for grossly insulting a married ..hite woman. He left, and I am reliably informed is picking cotton on the FulVood place in Sumter county. Examine our table Ligense the cheapest in the city, at F. Levi's. tumte' Cretonnes, 8c. up, at-. Lev'i's' S'umt~r. Wash the Dishrag. We clip the following from Good House ceeping, and commend it to our readers: Now that diseases are known to be caused by germs, one is' dtr the lookout for death in almost anything. Even a dish cloth may generate the germs that cause sickness and death. If it is black and stif and sour, throw it into the fire. Keep your dishclothdceau, if you have to eat with 'out a tablecloth, do withoat curtains to your windows and cake for~ y~difte, and have to. let your face dry after~waihing it. Let the weedsgrow in your - afdeni~ let the holes in the-heels of your- h'sbatd's or -hilreh's hose go undarned, let the' oes go without blacking for Sunday, if 'necessary, but do not ngee to wash the dishcloth. A tid housekeeper writes: "Ihave smell ed a w le houseful of tyhloid fever in one dishcloth.- I had some weigh'bors once cever, good .sort ..of : folks. One Au tuman four :of them. 'were taken siok with the typhoid fever. The doctor ordered the vinegar barrels white washed, and threw about forty cents' worth of carbolic acid into thes~will pail depart ment. I went into the kitfahen and made. gruel. I needed a dishcloth, looked around for one, and found several. And such rags! I burned them all, and called the daughter to get ne a dishcloth. 'Why,' said she, 'there were about a dozen here this morning.' She looked in the wood box, on the mantle piece. and felt in the cup board. 'Wel,'I said, 'I saw some old black, rotten rags lying around, and I burned them, for -there is death in such dishlothes, and you must never use such again.' I took turns in nursing that family for weeks, and I -believe-~ those dirty dish cloths were the cause ~f all that hard work." A bsolutely Pure This powdektr uever vanies.
