C. & A., now the Southern. 10 miles above Rock Hill. The land is red clay to the top with scarcely a single level acre. The people are above the average in intelligence, education and refinement. They are up on all subjects that are passing throughout the country. And we see nothing half done, and the wonder is that we are so fatbehind in the low country. The fields in York and over in North Carolina are red with crimson clover and many patches of alfalfa, all of which is being cut and cured and now ready for use. Most of the cotton has been planted, but very little of the corn, and general farm work is almost at a standstill, on account of the drougut that prevails. The candidates up here are the only things that look like Barnwell. They all seem to have purchased a new suit and panama hat from under which they seem to look with confidence and i broad smiles. We find a wide 1 difference in polities among the | inhabitants, some strong Rlease I lltfS, IMll IJO U> Ut' i making much fuss aln>ut it.Barnwell People. The New Militia Law.
