There was a good attendance and almost the entire time was taken up in discussing the advisability of organizing a Farmers' County Alliance.

Cause accidental, supposed to be fire dropped from a pipe into some cot ton hauled to the house a few hours before. Value of house and contents about $2,400. Some of the cotton belonged to other par ties, and-some will be saved from the ruins. Engine and machinery not burned. J. M. B. The commissary of Mr. Pinckney Rich bourg. who lives in the Santee section, about five miles from Jordan, was burned Friday night, Nov. 23rd. The loss was about $200 or $300. Mr. Richbourg thinks the house was first rotbbed, and then set from behind. The fire was beyond control when discov ed. During the past five years Mr. Rich bourg has suf'ered heavily from fire. First his dwelling was burned; then his ginjhouse, a wagon and two mules; then a stack of fodder in the field; and now his commisary. He feels confident that he will be able to bring the last crowd to justice, and it is very probable that the same party has done. all the work. Some of the better class of colored people in that neighborhood have promised him their assistance in ridding the community of such a fiend. Panola News. Pioo.&, Dec. 3.--On Saturday by request we paiid Rockhind, the palatial residence of Captain A. L. Lesesne, a special visit. The Connor Mounted Rifiemen had appointed that day for a company drilL. Those of us who are familiar with the origin and history of this grand old company must ever cher ish the name and memory of the lamented Capt. Brown Manning. Capt. Manning was a gallant soldier and officer of the Con federate army, commanding a company from Clarendon, a part of the Hampton Legion. At Lee's surrender he returned to his native eonty, conquered like all her people, to ada Pt himself to a new order of things and battle asothers did with a horde of scala wags, carpet baggers, &c., who had formed a government and code of laws too dis graceful in the State ever to be effaced from memory or-vision. Through his efforts the company was put on foot. It was the pride of the county. Its name after one of South Carolina's most distinguished generals,.will lie in the history of this nation, especially in Carolina, for generations to come. Since his death the company has been commanded by J. C. Manning, James Weeks, and W. S. Briggs. The latter having re signed some weeks ago, our young friend A. LaMotte Lesesne was unanimously chosen Captain. The company has never had a more efficient corps of officers. The drill lasted three hours. There is a determination tomake this an effective corps. They are well uni formed in accordance with State's regula tions in all minor points. The present of Ificars are aiming to place the Connor Mount ed Rifles upon a solid footing along with' th best cavalry companies of the State. At the close of the drill Captain Lesesne's seech was received with vociferous ap pause. In his humorous style he spoke of the bountiful supply of turkey, rice, pork, sweet things, &c., that was prepared frthe occasion by lady friends .1 the coxn pany. The table was spread, and iGled to overfowing wheni the charge was made. I never witnessed such a slaughter. From the oldest to the youngest filed into line and ate to their bountiful comfort. The tubs of pickles presented by Mrs. Edwards, of your town, to the company, were dehio I os in flavor, brought forth many thanks and good wishes for Mrs. Edwards. The Conor mounted mien know wonderfully well how to treat their invited guests, for Tom got the best. I regret to say Lieut. R. F. Weeks is to leave us. A more genial, accomplished gen tleman does not live among us. He goes to Barnwell to better his businetss condition. Hope he may continue to give the readers Sof the Tmrs "Occasional's" best. newsy, spicy productions. The latest news sensation is the forma tion of a new joint stock company for pounding stock. This pounding of stock isabdbsiness, a game two can act the drama. It always costs the aggressor four fold bad blood and double the amount in money. Parties who pay money like to get even. This will be the unhappy result of a recent occurrence that took place here, which has nct happened before in years. The law is a good one. I, for one, hope to abid, by it; but when ill feeling enters into ~1the human breast and strikes his neighbor - for a m icious design, by indolent people, depen d t upon the charities of individu SEVERE CASES OF BLOOD POISON.

Hallerton, Macon, Ga., writes: "I contracted blood poison' I first tried phy sicians, and then went to Hot Springs. I returned home a ruined man physically. Nothing seemed to do me any good. My mother persuaded me to try B. B. B. To my utter astonishment every ulcer quickly healed.". Benj. Morris, Atlanta. Ga., writes: "I suffered years from syphilitic blood poison which refused to be cured by all treatment. Physicians pronounced it a hopeless case.
