(Kingstree Record.] Floods of rain fell in this county Sunday afternoon and night of the 11th inst. Much damage to the cot ton crop is reported in some sections. Mr. E. J. .Hughes, of Lake City, died on the 6th inst., aged 26 ears. He hadoa1y-bei'ibou -two months, and leaves a wife and several relatives and friends to mourn his loss. His remains were carried to his old home at St. Stephens for inter ment. Mr. James Epps,TJr., who lives about two miles east of Kingstree, has thir teen children, the eldest of whom is nineteen years old. He has never had a case of chill and -fever among his children. They are all healthy look' ing children. A party of hunters from this coun ty went to Hell Hole Bay in Berkeley county last wcek to kill deer. The weather was so bad that they were prevented from hunting much, but they killed eight deer, all bucks but one or two, which were very fat. Mr. Willie A. Sparks, of Marlboro county,and Miss Mary H. Nettles, of Foreston, were married at the home of the bride's father on the '7th inst. Mr. Sparks and his bride are spend ing some time in Kingstree, where he is engaged for the present in building Mr. S. P. Brockinton's house. A negro boy about sixteen years old was killed on the N. E R. R. last Friday evening by the north bound train. He was terribly mangled, his body being severed in two, and his head scalped so that his brains ran out. He was inknown to all who saw him, but it is supposed he was killed whife trying to steal a ride on the train. Mr. A. L. Tobias, who lives at Green Hill on the G. and W. R. R, raised a squash in his garden this year which weighed 48 lbs. The seed came from the Department of Agriculture. This variety of vegeta ble is said to be very superior for ta ble use, much more so than the ordi nary squash. This is no story of a "squash head," but a genuine article, vouched for by Mr. W. D. Bryan, on whose place it was raised. The Jackson county Progress, pub lished at Edna, Texas, has this to, say about the sporting qualities of our forner fellow-citizen: "S. M. Lesesne is a successful deer hunter, but not a successful turkey hunter, nor a good fisherman, but when it comes to round ing up cayotes he is entitled to the whole bakery. Some days since he went out to Mr. Gayle's prairie farm, and with the assistance of two fine blooded hounds and a double-barrel led shot-gun he laid to rest a couple of vicious wolves." The chicken thieves in Kingstree have been flushed at last, and that too by one of their own color. Addie Burch had several chickens stolen from her a few nights ago, and the next morning she spotted Chamberlain Fulton-wno was named during the reign of the Chamberlain dynasty and found in his possession the chick ens aforesaid. He says Sam Jones and Win. Jones, brothers, gave him Ithe chickens to sell, promising him half of what he could sell them for. They are all youths, and are in jail on the charge above stated.

On account of the rain last week farmers have had a bad time of it saving their fodder. Mr. WV. Theodore Lesesne has open ed a beef market in town, and will furnish beef three times a week. -A number of our citizens got up a foot race last Friday afternoon, and thus furnished considerable amuse ment to the on-lookers. The Town Council now require all beef to be sold in the market. The gasoline tank has been moved out of the market, and the absence of the odor is an agreeable relief.

The school house will be located in the northern part of town, on Dr. Dinkins's lot, which the new school proposes to buy. The school will probably open this year, possibly about the first of November. It will be operated by a joint stock company. .The water was, we are informed, nearly a foot deep across Pocotaligo causeway last Saturday. Nothing but the bridges was to be seen, and in some places some of the boards, on temi were floating. One very exas perated citizen came in town and tackled county commissioner Horton about the dam, we mean the causeway dam, and wanted to get up a crowd to o down and cut the railroad cause v a. It is said that this railroad causeway is one of the causes of the water backing and injuring the cause way; but, on the other hand, we have been told that the railroad causeway has the same number of waterways as the old causeway, and that they are wi der. We presume county commissioner Horton will take care of the causeway. It has been an unusually and extraor dinarily wet season, and this probably isth ause of the trouble. The Manning Academy. The Manning Academy was estab lished eleven years ago, and at once won and has since maintained a high reputation. The teachers have always been selected with great care, and, with a course of study inferior to that of no other high school in the State, it hay a superior standard of scholar ship. No one who failed to satisfac torily complete the course of study was ever granted a diploma. The Academy will the coning year main tain a high standard, and its patrons may rest assured that every effort possible for the advancement of its pupils will be made. The Academy is. the oldest high school in the county. The Academy will, according to ad vertisement elsewhere, open Monday, Sep. 2d, and hopes to have a full at tendance. Summerton News.

Fonnsrox, Aug. 20.-We now have fair weather, and farmers are making every edge cut in saving fodder. We arala hae a new post master at. this~ pl'ace. One Bej'Bmk-a-er imppointed to the position. His papers are already in the office here, but no one has claimed them, and the post master knows of no such per son. There is one Beauregard B3rock, a colored teacher, in this section; we presume it must be lie. Mr. E. L. Wilkins, of the firm of G. A. Norwood & Co., of Charleston, is here in specting the crops in this locality, several of which they aLre interested in. Mr's. W. and his son accompanies him, and arc stop ping at Mr. J. C. Land's.

Prof. T. T. Hil ton, of Allen University, Colunfhia, S. C., is principal. A game of base ball was played on Satnr day last between the Foreston and Santee clubs, both colored, in which the former was beaten by a score of 11 to 38. Also a game between the last nameud above and the Hunters, in which the latter were beaten the score standing 10 to 32. Foreston is still ahead. Mr. Hudgins brought in some op~n cotton this morning, and Mr. Wilkins says Maj. Land has a patch of the finest he has ever seen. F. Panola's Boys at Piiateer. P.mora, Aug. 15.-At 8o'clock on Wednes day morning, Aug. 14. the Panola base ball team left for Privateer to prove their skill against the Privateers. After a very pleasant ride of. about three hours, we reached the store of Mr. Dwight, where we were handsomely entertained un til the hour of base ball was at hand. As soon as we arrived at Mr. Dwight's store watermelons were introduced into the crowd in abundance, and "short metre" was made of them. The boys amused themselves by practic ing for the game, which was to come off at 4 P. M., cracking jokes, etc., until dinner; was annoneed by and under the superin-, tedence of Mr. Scott George. It was boun tifully served to every one present. None culd complain of not having enough to After dinner the weather seemed very un propitious f'or base ball, being dark, misty, and wet, but it soon cleared off beautifully, and the sun ventured to peep at Panola as ve hurried to the ground. The game was called at four. Privateer took the field. Panola took up the bat, and thoroughly "hacked" them by making a score of 4 or 5 the first inning. "The boys" readily "caught on" to and "lined out" Mr. George's curves and shoots in such a manner that he was obliged to leave the box. Another man stepped in, but he could pitch only a "straight," and we had a "picnic" of him. The game was called at the end of the seventh inning on account of night, and re suted in a score of 9 to 39, in favor of Pa nola. We then went back to Mr. Dwight's store, where a handsome supper awaited us, which we enjoyed very much. We sincerely thank the Privateer boys for their unbounded kindness and hospitality. All of our boys say that it is the most enjoy able trip they have ever had, and all join in the hope that Privateer will soon come to Panola, and allow us the pleasure of extend ing similar hospitalities. The crops were noticed by me as I was on my way up. They are as good as the gen erality of crops, but these incessant rains are firing them, as is the case in our neigh borhood. ONE OF THE NINE.

C., Aug. 17, 189.- PWilos Moming Taes: Complying with your re quest. I shall attempt to write you a short letter from this "Land of the Sky." We arrived here, without adventure, on the tenth instant, but quite fatigued by the trip here, travelling for thirteen hours, the continuity of which was broken by a lay over at Asheville, of one hour and a half. We are very pleasantly quartered within a couple of a hundred yards of the White Sulphur Springs, the waters of which, judg ing by the number of viritors to the springs, are sought after by a great number of per sons. and are said to be very efficacious for the relief of nearly all the maladies for which the waters of Glenn Springs are con sidered a specific. This place is the county seat of Haywood County; its population, as claimed by its citizens, about eight hun dred, and its altitude 2,75G feet above sea level. The surrounding mountains vary in altitude from 3,500 to G;425 feet high, and vary in distance, from one mile to twenty five, away. Standing upon the highest point in the town of Waynesville, the top of the court-house, I notice, broken only by a scarcely distinguishable gap here and there, several circles of mountains rising one upon the other; the inner and nearest circle being the lowest, and the outer and farther moun tains bounding the horizon in every direc tion by their blue and misty outlines; a stream rushing along from its mountain home over its rocky bed, passes through the western part of the town, and here and there, from the elevated point mentioned, glimpses of other streams coursing through the adjacent valleys may be had. Verdant meadows and green slopes dot the land scapes in the vicinity of the town, and these, together with the streams and moun tains far and near, make up a panorama, at once, beautiful, picturesque-and of surpass ing grandeur. It has been but a few hours since I return ed from a climb with a party of friends to the top of Rocky Knob-one of the Balsam mountains---which rears its head to the height of 5,75G feet; several ladies, who stood the test of muscle, strength and en durance, as well as the males, were of the party. The viewa from the summit of this mountain, are of two kinds: those pr -sent ed by the .valleys, water-courses, villages and fartns, were unqualifiedly beautiful, and those which were of mountains, were inde scribably grand. While looking from this great altitude far down into the smiling valleys below, the scene was' so attractive, that I was forcibly reminded of what was so beautifully expressed by a writer in de scribing the attractive scenery of the coun try through which the river Lee glides along, as you approach Shandon; he said that the river passed "through scenes so beautiful, that the sky stooped down and threw its bine arms in love around them." Well, I suppose I should say something about the weather: as elsewhere in the South, there has been much rain here, but not enough to injure the crops; the corn-crop be ing the principal one not yet harvested, gives promise of abundant yield, and the patches of sorghum look well and appear to be in good condition. The temperature of this place, ever since I have been here, has ranged,.3p and down, from 6G to 73 de rees; so you wiiir ma yptht. are not oppressed with the heat usual in iatidle South Carolina at this time of the year. There arc four churches in Waynes-:illf, Presbyterian, Baptist, Episcopalian oha Methodist; we attended services at the/last named church on last Sabbath, andl litened to an excellent discourse by Rev. Dr 'Atkins of Asheville. I noticed that th9y ~in the .\ethodist church, while vry comfortable, are so agr fd not to permit, except with ef"ineovenienco, of the congregation kneeling down during prayer, hut are so placed that those desiring to do so, may rest their heads very comfortably on the backs of the seats in front. The church itself, is of brick and is nicely finished and furnish ed, an attractive feature of its furniture, be ing substantial and comnfortable foot-rests. All the other churches are creditable build ings of wvood, very neat and attractive in appearance. I am informed thiat- all of the churches have excellent pastors, are well at tended, and have good congregations. ,There are a number of South Carolinians here, representing I believe, every county in the State, but so many of them,- that I will not attempt to mention names; they all wvith one accord commend the climate and the waters of this beautiful land. The Cherokee Indians live in counties adjoining this one, and recently some of their young braves played a game of ball on the grass-covered esplanade of the sulphur ~springs; I (lid not see the gamie a's it was Jphyed a day or two' betore I arrived, but, from what I heard the Indian plan of play ing ball, would not commend itself to the Manning base-ballists, as their mode of playing is characterized by great roughness. There are many pretty walks and drives, in good weather, about Waynesville and tbe springs, and horses and vehicles are for hire, but in my opinion the prices for the use of horses and conveyances, are, at pres ent, unreasonable and disproportioned to the expenses of the livery stable business here. Well, I have no doubt that you and your readers will become tired before you shall have read to the end of this hastily con structed letter, so, Good-bye. R. Juneville's Champion Playing. MANNING, Aug. 12.---i-. Efo P ea"'e publish in the Tius the following games of ball: The Juneville and Panola clubs played a game of ball at Summerton, Friday the 9th, which resulted in a score of 14 to 20 in favor of Juneville. Battery for Juneville: Clark, Davis, and Kelly. For Panola: E. Richbourg and WV. Richbourg. On the following day another game was played between the Savannah Daisies and the Juneville club, on the grounds of the latter. The score stood 21 to 3 in favor of Juneville. A. C. D. Base Ball Between Panola and Juneyilie. PANotA, Aug. 12.-An interesting game of base ball was played in Summerton, on Friday the 9th inst., between the Pan'ol and Juneville clubs. Poor playing was done on both sides. At the end of the sec ond inning the score stood 12 to-0 in favor of Juneville, but Panola seemed to take in the situation just then, and played ball for all it was worth, hut it was too late. June vlle was too far ahead, the score standing 16 to 20 in favor of Juneville. This is Pa nolas second defeat this season, but it is also her second appearance on the diamond. Panola leaves Wednesday next for Privateer -to play a series of games with the Privateer club, where it is hoped she will regain her lost laurels. . PL.AYER,. PROGRESS. It is very important in this age of vast material progress that a remedy be pleasing to the taste and to the eye, easily taken, -ac ceptable to the stomach and healthy in its nature and effects. Possessing these qjuali ties, Syrap of Figs is the one perfect laxa A Farmer Thinks the Alliance Will not Prove a Panacea for all their ills. Ev1Ton IAxm G Tims:-The whole coun try, or a large portion of it, is running wild about the Farmers' Alliance, telling what great benefits will be derived from it. I am not surprised at the leaders, as the most of them, if not all, have other motives besides benefiting the porform:er. When did you ever know.of any man since Christ and his apostles giving his time entirely for the ben efit of others? No, they have other objects. Genl. A will make a long speech and abuse all other professions. Col. B will follow, and tell the dear farmer how he is imposed upon by the merchant and factor, and that each sub-alliane should have their purchas ing agent, and probably name a good friend of his, (who has nothing to do,) who would only charge them a small commission, the same as the factor. And the poor farmer swallows it all, and sends up hearty cheers. Now there is a great hue and cry about jute bagging, that it is in the hands of a trust and they charge 12c. for bagging weighing 24 pounds. They want everybody to buy cotton bagging that only weighs 2 pound at 12c. Break down one monopoly, and build up another ! I have myself sold thousands of yards of jute bagging at from 33 cents up to 37A cents per yard and cotton 6 to 7 cents per pound and the rope which bound the bales 15 to 16 cents. No, grumblers; you will never see Genl. A or Col. B between the plow handles: speech making is his profes sion. The farmers of South Carolina have spent in time and money already enough to buy bagging sufficient to wrap up the present crop of cotton, and it won't be long before Geul. A and Col. B will want to go to Con gress and to the Legislature, or some fat county office, and will call out all the good farmers to vote for them. They tell you that all trades have their organization. That is so; but just stop and think for one moment. They organize not to pull down others but to build themselves up. They meet and consider the supply and demand, and if the supply is greater than the demand they curtail products. The fanner is making every effort to increase the supply, and at the same time trying to break down the consumer. Destroy all your village merchants and force them to go to the plow: where is your market for your surplus butter, eggs, chickens, melons, etc.? I can tell you I lived in a day when all were farmers, and each made his provision and ate it, and the wife had to make the clothes the family wore, and the course some are pursuing will bring them back to it again. The farmers should organize in every county, and keep every one out of the pro fession they can by patronizing other in dustries, and by improving their farms to the highest state of cultivation. Let each county own a cotton seed oil mill; let it be owned by the farmers; and let the farmers of each State own an oil refinery. Sell the seed to the mill, and take the meal for their lands. The farmers of each county in the State could also build a small cotton factory. All these things lake laborers from the plow, and help build up the county. No country will prosper until they start other industries besides farming. Encour age the merchant, the mechanic,--in fact very profession; they are all consumers, mutually helpful, and will need your sur - SMALL FAR3MER. Clarendon, Aug. 1~ - A Fair in Sumter for the Colored People. EDITOn .3IaimT TDrEs: -Having been requested by the Rlev. J. B. Middlcton, Pres. Sumter Co. Fair Association, to interest the people generally of Clarendon Co., to the extent of having them place on exhibition the best results of thi-ir agriculture, me chanical skill, female handiwork, I ask a small space herein to do so. It is not often that the progressive and successful individual has the opportunity to show to the outside world what steps in ad vance he is making, that he might cause others to look favorably upoa his locality and be induced to cast his fortune in his midst. It will greatly tend to build up a county if the fruits of labor therein can take a commendable position alongside with others. IThe colora~'ople in particular are call Supon to send through me some of their fine produce, stock, etc., to be exhibited there. I think we have something worthy of be ing exhibited to the critical to convince them that there is prosperity within Clarn don. We, the colored people, claim to be improving in the works of our hands, and the works of our heads. If this be so, it becomes us to show that what we claim is Some of the farmers have some specimen of line growth suitable to be put on exhibi tion; some have stock of some kind of fine breed and development it would be well to show. Some one in the family perhaps dan make a tidy, or do some neat rieedle work, that will show skill of some kind. Let us have all such things there. Some mechanic can devise a piece of work exhibiting proficiency in his line. The Fair begins the 14th of Sept. in Sum ter, and I hope to be able, through the co operation of those interested in making a good showing, to have something there ot' which we may not feel ashamed. All exhib its can be sent to me. RonT. A. STEwART. Henry Wells, a convict in the peni tentiary, while being- taken to work Tuesday Aug. 13th, made a break for his liberty.

C., August 19. -Caterpillars have put in their ap pearance on several of the plantations near St. Matthews. I recently had a talk with one of our most successful farmers on what might be called the Texas method of exterminating these pests, that is, the plan mentioned in the Neu-a and Courier, of building large fires around the field. He says that his idea is not altogether a new one. Many farmers have tried it, but that hehas met with more suc cess by putting lanterns at difierent points in the fields. Under the lan tern is placed a flat vessel containieg molasses or oil. The moths, attract ed by the light, are caught in the liquid. The advantage this plan has over the fires is that neither wind nor rain puts out the light; wind can do no damage to adjacent woods by. blowing the fire or sparks, and the lantern, filled and ignited at dark, needs no attention during the entire night. It should be elevated a little above the cotton. This plan is sim ple and cheap, and worth a faithful trial. CONSUMPTION SURELY CURED.

If the work on the Eutawville Rail road continues to progress at the pres ent rate Charleston will have a new line through to Sumter, and possibly beyond, by the 1st of October. The work of grading the upper end of the route is about completed, and as soon as one or two small trestles have been built everything will be ready to lay the rails right into Sumter. A large force of hands are now at work on the trestle at Pocotaligo Swamp, some miles south of Sumter. The emnbankmients have all been fin ished, and the work of driving the .mhi.being pushed with much dis patch, 'lfiitah it has been retarded to some extent < -ng the past week by the swvamp-b, ed by the heavy rains.
