When a man lets his thousands loose, and suppieshundredofhisfelowitiens wit the necessaries of life upon their promise to pay, it must certainly mortify him to see the very ones he assisted when they were in need pass him by with the cash they have .to spend, and go to an adjoining town to make their purchases. Especially must this beso when the goods are sold fully as cheap by the home merchant as they can be had elsewhere, and more especially, when the debts are left unpaid! and yet those very people will return in the spring and ask for indulgence and more credit !

He was feeling quite un well, but appeared, and made a short speech, which was received with much en thusiasm. Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair Brunson, of Sum merton, were in town Friday. Mr. Brun son reports a part of the cotton so much damaged in his section as to bring less than half price on the market. Cotton pickers are in demand; the staple is wasting in some fields on account of the failure of farmers to procure hands to gather it.

McLauren, of the Sumter delegation, was the first call ed. When afterpsome preliminary remarks, he slowly enunciated John S. Wilson the enthusism ran high. Hats and coats were thrown in the air, and order was not thought of. When the Sumter delegation finished voting, it is said the chairman, Mortimer] Ward, of Georgetown, was up with one hand swinging his hat and hurrahing for Wilson, while with the other he was en deavoring to rap the convention to order ! Secretary Bonham, it is said, was so excited that he forgot to call the other delegates' names, but jamming the roll into his pock et, began wildly shouting, jumping, and gyrting around the room I It was a lively John A. Burgess. John A. Burgess died at his residence in this plcMonday morning, Oct. 15th, af tera logillness, involving troubles of the heart. M.Burgess during a large part of his life was a great sufferer, and his death, though a sad blow to his devoted family and many friends, was to him a happy re lease from his sufierings.

A Colored John Sullivan. An unruly negro named Tom Petrell, or some such name, from Mayesville or Wil son's mill, created a considerable stir in town last Monday. He had enough liquor in him to make him think he owned the town, and when an attempt was made to ar rest him he resisted so that four men could not manage him. He was tied hog fashion, and carried to the guard house. His cure ings there were so loud and vile that he was bucked and gagged. This quieted him, and he begged good fashion. During his arresthe attempted to use a pistol, but was disarmed. He also had an extra supply of cartridges in his pocket. While being car ried to the guard house he claimed to be a Deocrat, and that the other negroes want ed to kill him for it; and he said he had no friends in town. A bystander told him, even if he was a Democrat he could not raise - in this town. Council gave him $10 or 7days. He wisely took the 7; and will then be held for carrying concealed weapons, for which he will probably spend six months in the State's Hotel. Snow has fallen in Charlotte, North Car olina.

Notes From Rosin Hill. Rosm Hn Oct. 13.-After a cool rainy spell the genial rays of to-day's sun is hail ed with delight and enco: 'gemeut. You editors judge the bulk of the cotton crop in our county from the number of bales on your streets after a week's good picking weather, or no doubt from the en couraging statements of your merchants, gleaned from their customers whose aim is to support their demands for supplies, by their encouraging reports of cotton still in the fields. We have had experience in harvesting cotton crops, and tho' not at all interested in the fleecy staple at this time, are contin ually riding a large portion of the finest cotton lands in the N. W. section of the county, and consider the crops fearfully short. The fields are fast assuming a dark, picked-out appearance, and the cotton pick ing season of 1888 will soon be ended. The little darkey will then have to fall back on 'simmons, 'possums, and 'tatoes. Master Willie Richburg, son of Mr. L. N. ichburg, has gone to the Patrick Military [nstitute. Master R. C.

Jounas, Oct. 15.-News is scarce in this ieighborhood. Politics is over. Most of he cotton is gathered and the low prices ma short crop place us in a bad condition. )orn crop slim, fodder short, hands scarce, io money, old debts on hand, printers not aid, and what are we Santee folks to do? am not able to say, but still we hope.
