We have a communication from Pine wood. which we decline to publish be cause it is nothing more nor less than an adlvertisment for certain merchants of that town. It is a pleasure to pub lish communications of news value, but when it comes to advertising, we have a rate we charge. We should like very much to do some advertising for the Pinewood merchants, but there must be a price attached to our desire. In our columns will be found one of Pine woods live merchants, who like a busi ness man. has come to us in a business way and bought advertising space, and if is competitors will do likewise they will display more business tact than in trying to get a free ride through -Anon' ?or any other anonymous writer. We publish death notices free, but it is not that way with supposed-to-bc Manning's cotton market this season has been good, and as a result of it more cotton has been sold here; with less complaint. The same may be said about the tobacco market. The price paid here has been as good as the meas ly trust would allow, but always as much or more than any other market. with the result that over three times as much tobacco has been sold on this market.

The Fall Meeting of Harmony Presbytery Held at Midway Church, Pursuant to adjournment the Presby tery of Harmony convened at its fall meeting on Wednesday the 7th inst. at 12 in., at Midway church, Claren don county, and was constituted by the election of the Rev. S. L. Porter of Summerton as Moderator and Mr. W. J. DuRant as reading clerk. The Rev. . E. Stephenson of May esville preach ed the opening sermon. The atten dance was composed of all the ministers of the Presbytery except three detained by sickness,and of twenty ruling elders. The narratives on the state of religion showed a healthful condition in grace, progress and liberalhty. A conference on Foreign Missions was held which produced some enthusiasm and liberal Ity in that line. A conference too was held about the matter of local home missions which brought to review our needs in that direction and suggested. methods of supplying them. The pas toial relation hitherto existing be tween the Rev. W. W. Sadler and the group of churches consisting of Lynch burg. Beulah and Lake City was resign ed by him leaving those churches va cant. Steps were taken to install the Rev. Mr. Holladay of Virginia as pastor of the Manning church, lately vacated by the Rev. Mr. Gregg. Midway church, which is served by the Rev. James McDowell, is one of the largest and most prosperousof out coun try churches. It lies along the line of Black river, a stream which seems to be given over to Presbyterians. .The people are prosperous, self-sustainig and progressive. They live well and have good schools. They need a rail road, however, or some easier access to their county seat. They entertained the presbytery with royal hospitality. The old custom of furnishing dinner on the ground was in vogue and the tables literally groan ed under the weight and the variety of good things served, in quantities not only suflicient to satisfy~ the cravings of the Presbytery to surfeiting, but also of the crowds who are attracted to such meetings Midway church will always find the Presbytery responsive to an invitation to partake of their hospitality.

One of the events of the seasen was the "Opening" at Jenkinson's depart ment store last Wednesday evening. The store was artistically arranged,and the decorations were superb. The dis play of dress goods and trimmings was a credit to the management and the clerks. There was a tremendous crowd drawn hither by the Charleston band(?) an aggreation of "Cha'ston niggers" who had represented themselves as ac complished musicians, and had secured recommendations from some friends of Mr. Jenkinson, but who turned out to be worse than a nest of eggs deserted by a hen that had set on them a whole sum mer. The music was disappointing and the singing of these "Cha'ston" fakes was excruciating, not only to those who visited the store, but to Mr. Jenkinson himself, so much so that he gave them their time and ducats before the con tract was completed: no more "Cha's ton nigger" for Jenkinson. Every department in this immense establishment was dressed in its best attire, not excepting the ladies and gentlemen who serve the trade. It is diflicult to describe the scene on that evening, but when we say the store presented a scene of lovliness, we mear that the opening was a great success, it accomplished what Mr. Jenkinson de sired-bringing out the multitude to see what he das accomplished as a mer chant. The main attraction was in the milli nery. presided over by ladies whose ex perience make them adapted to know just whether the"hat is on straight" or if the colors suit "my complexion" and "if the shape makes mue look bewitch ing." These ladies are artists in shap ing hats to make a beautiful look more beautiful, and in taking out the sour ness of an ugly woman's face, and act ually when they get through with an ugly woman, she can look square into a n'an of real fresh-laid milk without danger of curdling it. This depart ment was filled all the evening with well dressed ladies, with merry voices, and the solemnest looking men we have ever seen; the men enjoyed the beauty of the hats, and the joyful promises to buy about as much as a nervous cieat ure enjoys having a tooth drawn by a "painless" toothsmith. One man came out of the millinery department with suicide in his eye, a cigarette between his fingers, and be did not stop until he got right in front of the cornet play er. He lighted the cigarette, and just as the "Cha'ston coon" was about to hurl him into eternity with a blast of "Hiawatha" we rushed in and saved the fellow by taking him out of the side door into the fresh air,where there was a chance to get a beer in case any thing should happen. The poor fellow as the fresh air hit him,gave a gasp and asked us "did she decide to take it,"we asked him what? He said,"that $15 hat which the lady with the continental soldier's uniform was trying with no mercy on me, to sell." I relieved him by telling him the purchase was sub ject to his approval, and he smiled one of those leering smiles which men are prone to, when saved from a desperate act, and a state of uncertainty. The occassion was enjoyed by those who like to look at a well-arranged store, where almost everything can be ound, and where the proprietor and his corps of assistants are anxioas to please.
