Having had samples of cotton from other gins comn pared with those from ours by comnpetent judges, we can now assure our patrons at least 1-4 cent per pound more for their cotton than any other gin in tihe State. We would like those who will not pattronizc us to come aroundl and see how much better their neighbors get their cot ton ginned than they do. If they can show us any fault in our work we will be glad to know it. It will be to the interest of any one to see us before ginning else where, as we are offering -special inducements, for this and next month; also will pay more for cotton seed than any one else, or will ex .change the meal for thenm.

We do not propose making sug gestions to our legislators, thougi there are several changes in theo law: we should like to see made. But w< wish to endorse a bill, which we thiul was introduced at the last session and one which has the support of sev eral of the most prominent senator, and representatives. It is a bill t< limit the introduction of bills to the 15th of December. Then the legis lature is to take a recess till the 15t1 of January, when the members wil reassemble and legislate on those bill: only. Such a law would entirely re move any cause for the charge of hur ried legislation. The members would have the bills to take home witl them, to examine for a month, and t< consult with their constituents. W< sincerely hope this bill will become i law. It is no credit to the State t< have such a rush at the close, ani when the legislature adjourns, nine out of ten do not know what has beer done. Florence wishes to be a city, ani will apply to the legislature for i charter. Rev. W. D. Kirkland has been re elected editor of the Southern Chri. tian 4docate, for the next four years Mr. Kirkland is an able writer, and a; an editor is second to none. Mr. Louis Appelt kindly consentei to write up our local page this week and he has succeeded admirably. W< are personally under great obligation: to him for his valuable services.

McLeod made their report announcing that he had been depos ed from the ministry and expelled from the Methodist Episcopal Church South. The charges against Mr. Mc. Leod were falsehood and slander, and they were sustained by the commnitte! of trial. ,The report of the publishing corn mitte3 on the &>uhern CJhristianr Ad wocate, Columbia, S. C., showed that that journal was never more prosper: ous. The Conference then enterec into the quadrennial election for at editor for the Advocde. A ballot was taken, and the Rev. W. D. Kirkland D.

The gala week and the State fair must necessari:y oc- w cupy so inuch space in your paper that there will not remain a single column for one of youl correspoiid- ' ents. However, I want to write some lai things of a general way, to tell what I of saw, how. tins portioni of the cointy ix stands, what improvemieits a: i ntias- en ures are laid by the generaliiy of our in people. You have no idea of the A condition of the roads. It requires of muscle, nerve, and determination to fh keep these roads in good, passable ic condition. This portion of the county as borders Wriglts Bluff, known as the se river roads. It is one of the most al business portions of the county. Mr. G David Levi is the champion merchant, tr shipping two thousand bales of cotton \ annually. It has been a source of th pleasure to him to deal fairly, honestly la in his business transactions, which ic has made him friends among white c( and colored. He never was known to pI distress one of his customers. w: Mr. W. S. Holladay, too, has rapidly gi built up a great trade, from his square w: dealing and honest figures. Coin- d mencing a poor boy with nothing but ju energy, le has from all appearances th established a reputation worthy of all ti( such young men. His store is man- w1 ned by Maj. Carraway, who knows w1 the position of a clerk, ready to please, il who always meets you with a kind w word. Mr. Holladay is a large suc- of cessful planter, managing this part of ar the business himself. st: It's always a pleasure for your cor- le respondent to visit tie cross roads at of Jeff Davis's. How it pleases me to at see the prosperity of boys whom I have wi known all my life. This is also a bus- ru iness place. Jeff has that push about re him that few young men have. I think fie his farm and business stand decidedly D one of the best located. The whole m seems to be on a boom; his gins are to kept busy. Then there are other en- to terprises laudable, worthy of mention. N Mr. J. E. Tennant has his evaporator pl in full blast, boiling some as good ye molasses as you would like to see. he Mr. Davis called my attention to the all pulp, and thinks if manufactured it m; would make good covering for cotton. wl There are some as good planters in au this section as you will find anywhere. sa The Dingles (father and sons), Bil- as lups, CArrigan, and others, who give hi special care to their farms. ou I would not forget to note other co lines of improvement where the W. La & S. Railroad passes. Davis is well 1 growing into a town. Mr. C. M. Da- hi vis has his store filled with general tr; merchandise. Mr. W. H. Trescott, his clerk, is not only pleasant and affable or in manner, but seems to be the man ' fri in the right place. ha I gave Sumerton a call. You have th no idea of its vast improvement. To hc say the least I predict for it one of the cif handsomest inland towns in this State. nc It has the vim, wit-h some of the best of men in the county to advance its pro- m; gress. dc I visited Pinewood, where you can : always spend happy moments to while hig awvay your time. I harve had occasion It to write of these people before. They de do not build pine knot fires; this is thi not their habit. Ini pationcet they p~os- m<n sess their souls-Pinewood richly de- sc< serg~ssyaise--a hapy people, good "t. livers, plenty to eat for man and beast co -a growing town. Mr. J. W. Weeks bo has a fine building, which adds much i to the upper~ end of thie towvn. \3Ir fm Ben Griffin also has built him *a hand- (0) some residence on Church street. Dr. thI 3IeLaurin's store, also C. M. Griffi's, an du Main street, is stocked with everyi o thing in the line of merebants. The or shops of Mr. Buirket on Miain stree doI have every appearance of turning out wi1 goo workm anship. A night withl h Mr. J. D. Chuilders refreshed a tired C traveler. You find in him all that is~ in gentlemanly, hospitable, and kind. m: Then MJrs. C. spares no pains to mnake pa you comdortable. They are a happy tr< couplle, no children to annoy or per- St plex them. The ent ire town and sur rounding community smacks of pro- ga gressiveness. The high school taught vi< by M1iss Keels is prosperiug iineiy. di She is said to be quite an accomplish- a < ed lady. deC In my rambling notes I must not;el forget Silver. I would do injustice to h Silver if I did not give it a place in fai this pictuire. Silver is bright, very il- .F: lumiuaig-not a whit behind the at< rest of her apostles. Another new~ be store has been opened; Mr. A. W. au Thanmes, Jr., hangs out his shingle. dc You may look for advertisements. Sil- m: ver is the place for capitalists to in- ha vest their money. Dr. A. J. Briggs,"t one of otir most skillful young phy- is sicians, wh<> dhoes a large successful ru practice, anticipates building and to opening up a drug store at Silver. ty Painful Boils.ti About three years ago I was troub- se led with poison in my blood, very ir-b ritating and painful boils breaking i out all over my body. For two years an1 I suffered with themi, trying all sorts ili of remedies, and doctor's prescrip - ea tions witbout avail. Becoming dis.. to gusted with doctors, and medicines I1g had used up to this time, I concluded - a to try S. S. S.. and the result was far be beyond my expectations. A few hot-b tes left ime in better health than I th had been since childhood. I consider aui S. S. S. the only medicine that will thoroughly purify poisoned blood. wi T. K.

'hen they legislate against mallee ey should pursue that lire of legis tion only, and not attribute to al e that which we are forced to per ive can only result from wounded -ide and insulted honor. The un ritten law of necessity governs, ides, and shapes all of our just irs, and also our duels and self :fences. How theu can any nation stly punish her citizens for obeying e great law of necessity ? If na >ns have the right to obey the un itten law of necessity, individuals, think, should enjoy the same priv 1ge. What is criminal in the one e think is certainly criminal in the her. Their tendencies are the same, A their objects are identical. The ength of a nation does not entitle r to more justice than the weakness the citizen has a right to expect .d demand. What high toned man >uld wish to be such a baby as to n to our courts for protection ? Let fined justice stand firmly upon the ld of honor as did our great Mc usie. South Carolina is our comn on mother, but shall we be forced run to her whenever one of our es are tramped upon for redress? ! never! Malice is a base princi e, and its possessor should be so rely punished. Wounded pride is anorable, and we think should be .owed outside of our courts to de and redress.

What ! punish in for putting his life in jeopardy ly for his honor, when his State and untry would be proud indeed to .ye him do the same for them? hat! is his honor not as dear to in as is that of his State and coun i to them ? "Trial by battle" we think. is not lv a freeman's proud Tight in all :e governments, but that it is per ps one of the best peacemakers in e world.

The underPigned would indeed be ungrateful were they riot to return many thanks for the liberal support of many of Claren don's best people. We are annually enlargiiig.our business in all branches, and are offering Unusual Inducements to purchasers. We are accused of catering for the farmers' trade. and we feel a just pride in pleading "Guilty" to the Indictment. Need we ask what would become of the country were it not dependent on the success of the farmers? In order therefore, to insure their success is it not the part of wisdom for the merchant to LEND A HELPING HAND? We, at least, entertain this opinion, and henceforth will di vide profits with them--and in fact all patrons of our House. We are in no hurry to accumulate wealth, especially at the expense of the TOILIN\TG- MASSES. With this view of business as it exists to-day, we ask our fi iends of Clarendon county to visit us, make A Special Call, and we feel assured of convincing them of the truth of these statements. We desire especially to mention the fact that we handle . Staple Groceries by the Car Load, which enables us to give our Patrons Rock Bottom Prices. Before placing your orders be sure to see us.
