The list as it appears this week is '.taken frr. n the hooks furnished by wtU'e State ftir getting up the rolls, and is correct, or as nearly so as it ; is possible to net. The abbreviation following each name designates the rank, such as "G" for corporal, "1,M for private, '*S" for <8t*rK??tur. etc., wmie tuo star (w) befone the name means that the party is.dend.

The time is at hand when the people of Fort Mill and the travelling public generally are in need of better accommodation at the pas inert g^r-station of the Southern .Railway in this place.

We don't know that this is a violation of railroad rules, but it seems that each should be the case. r-Aud again, by the present arrangftyentit is impossible to get freight icars within a suitable distance to unload freight into the depot without placing them whore they block Ihe passenger landing of all north bound trains, and leave a space of Juiily about three feet f*?r the pnsfengers to crowd their way to and from the cars.

Four of the largest wheat and | corn produeiuii states of tho West "have heett damaged in their 'crop I prospectsJor tlie present year hy oiie-tialf or more A'ncl it is plainly to he seen that there must he a shortage of foodst nil's in eonse queuco. Mhocp. cattle Mini horses i have'been destroyed in larye numbers anil the efl'eet must bo to re- . 'duee labor ami other productive returns from the farms. Prices of : food and their related interests in I the beef, pork and mutton markets | are sure to be much higher in the ; ( Future than in the past season. Corn is more likely to soil for over than under a dollar per bush 1 And the Southern farmers who have become accustomed to tind their bread and meat in Western markets will be called upon to recoup present losses to t hose people by higher pi ices for foodstuffs. It is not too late yet for South- j erii farmers to fortify against that manifest state of affairs. K/ery ' one of thmn can devote a part of his land Mill! Istlwtr ti. riiisdtnV i?irn hnil pens and thus supply himself with substitutes for his usual western supplies. It is yet possible anywhere in the South t< plant and raise crops of the kind mentioned and those who are wise will lose no time in taking tins warning to himself and prepatinn to meet the ^jenoral rise in the price of provisions by huv injj an ample home-raised stock of | food in his own mil) and .miokei house.?Atlanta Constitution. About the Militia Encampment. Members of the local military j company, as well as the public | pjenorally, will be interested in the ! following item from the Columbia ' Keeni'd of Friday: (Jen. ttohn I). Frost returned yesterday afternoon from Washington, where he went in couueetion with militia ntTairs, and lie brings good news for the militia. There has been set aside for this State, and will soon be available, $:n,:ttl(i.2r> foi encampment pur- J poses, besides an er .A -ivmt fund : i of a>24.i5o." 2(.t. All of the latter fund is now available, and an equal sum will I>h later on. This fund does not. include the ettuipmeut. of magazine and carbine titles, which ate to be furnished free, nor dot's it include the encampment fund mentioned, which is to be used for \ the transportation and subsistence of the othcers and men who partie- j ipate in the encampment and who will receive regular army pay and receipt for it.. Those who do not participate will not receive any pay. A meeting of the Held officers is to be held here next Wednesday to | consider the matter of encamp- ( merit. They will consider the location of camps, the water supply, ! lmhls, etc., of any place desiring j ; the encampment.

Journal, Friday: Kb Stutts, an operative of the Highland Park mill, made an attempt at suicide | Tuesday afternoon, by taking a Doison (It'llg. or a chemical of Home sort. Tuesday afternoon Shifts went to a lielil where a negro whs at work hoeing cotton and aked the negro to kill him, ''No, air 1 can't do that," the negro replied. Slutte then, according to the ne- , gro's story, ottered to pay to the negro kill hint, saying that he was i going to kill himself anyway, hut the negro still refused, and Stutts walked olT to a branch nearby, where the negro saw him swallow something and drink water front the branch. The negro gave the alarm and a largo crowd soon collected. Dr. \Y. (t. Stevens was ! summoned and when he arrived he found the man in a deep stui or. lie called in the assistance of Drs. j T. A. Crawford and *T. E. Massey, I ?Ir. By using a stomach pump, ) antidotes were given and his stomach washed out and his recovery is now expected, unless he took i cltntn kmi iu . .1* uttiiia uAtd in ??
