THE IAINIhG GTMES Publishied Ecery Wednesday. Wednesday, October 16, 1889. Harmony Presbytery. (Sunder watchman.] The Presbytery of Harmony con vened in this city on the 4th inst., and adjourned on the 7th, to meet at Salem, Black River, church on Wednesday before the 2nd Sabbath in April next. The representation was unusually slim for the town meet ings, there being only 16 ministers present out of a possible 27, and only 20 elders out a possible 50. The nar ratives from the churches gave an en couraging view of the numerical and spiritual growth of the church within ibe bounds of the Presbytery. Sever al new churches have been organized during the past year, and petitions for organization were granted to two other communities, one at Kershaw, on the 3C's road, and one at DuBose's X Roads in this county. Some matters of importance were sent down by the General Assembly for the action of Presbytery, the chief of which one concerning the adoption of the new directory of worship, and one pertaining to the tithe and societies within the church. These were referred to appropriate committies to report on at the spring meeting. .The most important action taken by the Presbytery was the adoption of an overture to Synod, at its ap proaching meeting, to divide the Presbytery into two, making Lynches river the dividing line till it empties into the Pee Dee, and that river the dividing line from this point to the sea. The territory west of this line embracing 15 ministers and 29 churches will retain the name of the Presbytery of Harmony with the rec ords and the obligations of the old Presbytery; and the territory east of this line, embracing 10 ministers and 21 churches will be called the Pee Dee Presbytery. As a matter of sen timent it was very painful to Presby tery to consent to this division, but it was found to be necessary for the more efficient cultivation of the field and especially for the accommodotion and the better attendance upon the meetings of Presbytery. As the matter now stands the Pres bytery comprises 11 counties, which makes it impossible for the delegates to attend its meetings as they should, and, besides this, a full meeting could not be accommodated except at a few churches within its bounds. No doubt this action will create a stir in old Harmony for a time but the minds of all will ultimately come to the conclusion that it was wisely done. Dr. Shearer, President of Davidson College, was present at the meeting and made a strong plea for that college after the reading of the narratives on Dr. T. H. Law was also present and made a strong appeal in behalf of the American Bible Society which he represents. em tgof the Presbytery was onosthroughout and made a woesome iiimsion socially and spiritually on our com mnunit. We Have Seen A young man sell a good farm, turn merchant, break, and die in solvent. A farmer spend so much time in town that there was nothing at home worth looking after. A rich man's son begin where his father left of, and end where his fath er began-penniless. A worthy farmer's son idle away the prine of his life in dissipation and end his career in poverty. The extravagance and folly of children -bringing their parents to poverty and themselves into dis gracs. . A farmer tooself-conceited to amend i way and too obstinate to retrace A poor boy grow rich by industry and good management, and rich boys become poor by idleness and dissi patio. A man spen# mnore of his tim'eand ~oney in first class folly than would support his family in comfort and in A farmer deliver a fine oration at the agricultural fair with his fences all down, his field overgrown with weeds, his stock foraging on his neighbor's field, and his taxes un paid. A fanner build a dwelling so large and fine that the sheriff was the first -man to occupy it. Hundreds of farmers trying to do business with a large auger, when a gimlet would answer their purpose a greet deal better. Don't Do It. [Yetlem7J Herald and News.] Says the Greenville News; "We are informed that the Farmers' Alliance at Fork Shoals, Greenville county, has formally boycotted the Greenville Weekly News because of its expres sions of opinion regarding some of the procedins and purposes of the A1Hlance" Don't do it. It is a mistake. The Ipaper that can say fearlessly and hon estly what it thinks, is just the paper everybody needs. *The friend who always speaks smooth words is not A1*ays the friend who is most valua gle thougbh a may bethe most pleas ant. T~n fact, the friend whio can and will tell us when he believes we are going wrong is invaluable. Our friend may be mistaken in his judgment,: but mistaken or not the criticsm of such an one should not give offence, and is more likely to be beneficial than the flattering words of him who is de sirous alone to please. We believe that the Farmers' Alli ance is a great movement, and we feel that great good will grow out of the organization, but like any other organization it is liable to make mis takes. To attempt to silence criticism that is honest and sincere, by the method adopted by the Fork Shoals Alliance, is not manly and will not prove efficient. This movement will grow despitej petty and malicious criticism, and it may be greatly aided by the honest and manly suggestions of those who Hold Your Cotton but Meet Your Obligations. The price of cotton last week was off twenty-five or thirty points, and our farmers consequently held backc their cotton to a considerable extent. This is all right, and we approve the action of the Alliance in such matters -whenever it is thought the interest of the farmers may be served, pro vided those who owe on their cotton make arrangements by which they can satisfy their obligations to the mer chants sufficient to save the latter in time from great inconvenience in meeting their accounts. Cotton is the same as money, and those farmers can haul their cotton to market, get advances on it sufficiently to satisfy the merchant for a time, and when the price advances, both the farmer and the merchant will be benefitted. This is but just-the farmer desires to protect his own interest, but he should not lose sight of the fact at the same time that the merchant is entitled to his dues. Of course the farmer who owes nothing is at liberty' to do what he pleases with his cot ton, and the more of such cotton held until the price goes higher, the better for all concerned. When the majority of thejfarmers of the country get into a position where they can hold their cotton without getting advances on it to pay the merchant, the key note of the prosperity of the country will have been sounded, and the actions and wishes of the farmers will be much more respected.-Cheraw Reporter. Cleaning Men's Clothihg. The process of cleaning men's and boys' clothing is simple, and not la borious and unpleasant. Diagonal, cassimere, and such materials will stand washing, and if a coat, vest, or pair of trousers is very dirty or shiny this is the best way to clean and freshen it up. It is the way the pro fessional scourers do it. First, make a strong soap suds with clean warm water. Never wash cloth in water that has been used for other things, as it will make it linty. Souse the garment up and down in the suds and rub out all dirty places and grease spots. If very much soiled, it may go through second suds; then rinse well through several waters as warm as the suds and hang up to dry. When almost dry roll it up for an hour or so; then press it. The secret of pressing without hav ing the goods look shiny is to put a piece of old muslin between the goods and the iron and to take up the iron without fail before the steam stops rising from the cloth. If there are bad wrinkles or shiny places put a wet cloth over them and press, with a hot iron, not forgetting to lift off the iron when the full head of steam is rising, so that the nap of the cloth will be lifted. Loyal to the Alliance. One of the most indefatigable, push ing, successful farmers in Laurens county, Mr. J. D. M. Shaw, brought twenty bales of cotton to this market last Friday, all dressed in Alliance "uniform"-cotton bagging-every bale bearing some significant motto, some of which were as follows: "Anti Jute," "No Compromise," "Stand to Your Colors," "No Jute," "Rascals; to Work," "Jute is Hf,"Jute is -D"ngpjad Firm, Farmers," &c. Laurenseille Herald. Below the Nine Line. Cotton is an eighth of a cent lower to-day, Tuesday 8th, than it was this time last week. Will the price drop below the nine line ? We fear it will, unless the farmers can hold back their cotton. Can they do this? Re membei CoL Terrell's address of Sat urday last. If the farmers are unable to hold their cotton for better prices, but are compelled to part with it at a sacrifice, why is this the case ? Simply because in failing to make their own supplies on their farms, they have been compelled to sign away the privelege of independent, manly action in disposing of their cotton crop. In that case, and in so far as concerns the disposal of that crop, they lack a deal of beinig free men. They are under duress-un der bonda to vassalage;- and so long as the conditions last it will be mat ter of impossibility for the great cot ton growing interest to make any per manent headway in the contest for fair prices.-Edgefield Chronicle. .Georgia and South Carolina. The Savannah river is all that sep arates Georgia from South Garolina and yet there is a marked difference between the people of the two States in some particulars. In no respect is this difference more distinct than in the manner of treating public men by the people of the two commonwealths. When any one is elevated to posi-. tion in Georgia every man, wonan, and child makes it a business to exalt his virtues, magnify his abilities, and hold up his hands in the discharge of duty. The Georgians think there never were greater men than Ste phens, Toombs, Ben Hill, and Gordon. They are constantly sounding the praises of these and all other promi nent men of Georgia. In South Carolina as soon as a man is put in office all the people begin to fly-blow, misrepresent, and black guard him. His abilities are belittle his reputation besmirched, and every thing is done to put him down. Our - Senators and Representatives in Con-i gress are said to have no influence and do nothing but draw pay, the G6vernor is a mere figui-e-had, the FState officers are nobodies and our Judges the most ignorant persons among us except country editors. We could point out other differences quite as strikinig and equally disad-I vantageous to South Carolina but we have said enough to set some peopl to thinking.--AUecille Modium. He Wants to Teach. At an examination of teachers re cently held in a neighboring county, the superintendent, among other prob lems given for solution, asked, WVha is anatomy ? One of those who wair. ed to teach the young idea hov 'to shoot, gave the following al'swver: "Anatomy treats of the humir1n body, which is divided into three parts, the head, the chist, and th'- stommnick. The head contains the eyes and the brains, if any. The .e'dist contains the ungs and .a p:ece r.,f the liver. The stommick is deve-ted to the bowvels, (fIwhich there are five, a, e, i, o, u nd sometigres w and y.-17ronsoi; Williamsburg News. [ ATyttree Record.] Mr. Ervin Player has produced sugar ane this year 17 feet high. We have seen ne of the stalks. Court will be held at. Kingstree the first ionday in Noveub'r. Judge Witherspoon rill preside. There are 17 prisoners in jail, :harged with crime. An extra train of cars was sent to this )laee a few days ago to carry off a large luantity of cotton that had accumulated at he depot. This was an unusual thing for Kingstree, and shows that if the cotton buy ors here are not on a boom, some of the hippers are. The convention of the Farmers County alliance, which met at this place last Fri lay, was composed of staunch and earnest armers from all parts of the county, striv ng to improve their condition as citizens, vho see and fel the necessity for improv nent. The organization in this county now numbers thirty-two sub-alliances, and we andlerstand the membership is increasing it every meeting. The farmers are deter nined in this movement, and the good t nave already accomplished is an inc~ve o greater effort. When the farmers pros per the country must and will improve, and every one should rejoice at their success. (Lake City Weekl y.] There are within the corporate limits of Lake City, one hundred and forty-two white bildren under eighteen years of age. Last Saturday Mrs. F. M. Lee sent us smne chestnuts which were grown on her place in this county. Se'veral gentlemen, to whom they were shown, pronounced them ,he very finest they ever saw. One gentle man who knows Virginia well said they were finer than any he ever- saw grown in that State. Mr. J. M. Thomas is gathering his 39th rop, and he thinks upon an average, the present corn crop is the best out of the 39 t6 bushels to the acre. He planted 9 acres >f corn and peas, and what he will gather From the 9 acres will be worth to him $231. Expense of cultivating, &c., $94; leaving a profit of $137. 46 miles of travel to the icre was required to make the crop. THE GREATEST ANTI-PERIODIC Enown to the medical profession is quinine, the base of which is the Calisaya bark of ommerce. This bark is gathered by the natives of South American countries and exported to all parts of the world for the manufacture of quinine. "The servant is not greater than his master," and it stands to reason that the extract has not the cura tive powers of the original. There is no more effective remedy for malarial disorders known to the world than Dr. Westmore Land's Cahsaya Tonic, which contains a suf iciency of the purest bark, and all disor lers of the system arising from a diseased liver readily succumb to its influence. This great medicine is for sale in Manning by Dinkins & Co., and in Foreston by Dr. L. W. Nettles. The Youngest Bank President. CoLUMBLA, Oct. 11.-A charter was issued to-day to the bank of Manning.
