It is not at all likely that a cotton seed oil trust will ever materialize in South Carolina and meet with anything like success. The farmers are not compelled to sell their seed to the mills, they can always use them for fertilizer, and the mills cannot run without seed. Whenever there is an effort to put the price of seed down too low, farmers will not sell but use for fertilizer. In fact, many of them do this now, when seed bring good prices. The point made by the Newberry Observer, that the State Democratic executive committee is composed of politicians, is a good one. Nearly every member of the committee now has a public office or is a candidate for one. It would be a v good idea for the politicians to take a back seat now and let the people run the party awhile. We would like to see every man who holds an office resign his place on fhe committee?but we won't see it. Late Literary News. rV- ? - . The midsummer fiction numoer or trie July Cosmopolitan contains the best story Bret Harte has written in a long time. The well known Jack Hamlin is the hero, and he will be eagerly welcomed back by the public. Desperado and gambler that he is, theoretically we ought not to like him, but he has that fine courage too rarely met with in real life or in fiction, and those who read "A Mercury of the Foothills" will probably lose sight of his faults in following the events which take place upon "that heaven-kissing hill." Catrina Trask's story in the same number should be read by ever)' woman. It is one of those homely tragedies constantly going on in modern society. It is probably the cleverest piece of work Mrs. Trask has ever done. R. K. Munkittrick's quaint New England coast yarn has a breeziness about it that makes it really refreshing. The July instalment of Egerton Castle's story begins to raise the curtain on the inevitable ruin which the Duke of Cluuy's weakness must bring on those who love him. It Dazzles the World.

Deak Herald?Yesterday I stood 'neath the shadow of Columbia's monument erected by the women of South Carolina and dedicated to the memory of ? the heroes who fell in the war with Mexico in 1847. And as I looked on the marble that would tell the sad story to other generations, my heart swelled with loyalty to State, to country and with < gratitude to God for casting my lot among the "brave and the free." g To the right, towering in "imposing silence," was the Palmetto tree, and in < fancy I could see life trickling through its inanimate veins, while its shaggy leaves waved with measured nods to the i passing breeze. Fitting emblem to an aristocratic State! To a people who will always sacrifice blood in preference to principle. In front of me in mutilated beauty was the State House and while the process of renovation gave her a disfigured aspect, out^from the chrysalis "boomed her coming perfection, when we shall be able to boast of a beautiful capitol. The huge blocks of Spartanburg granite were being chiseled into wreaths of flowers and shapely leaves. These blocks were to crown the immense ^ ^ columns of marble which I saw lying in readiness'near by. Upon the threshold I met the ^Executive Officer and though ten years had elapsed since I knew him, I was recognized and kindly received. I__ was debarred the pleasure of going~on the second floor, on account of work being done thereon. A desire seized me to % go to the room where the two Tillmans had their famous debate concerning the naming of Saluda county some .years ago, but of course in this, I was disappointed. * In the office of Secretary of State I lingered, feeling free to investigate such_tbings ascametoni}' mugt^z?tkout intruding, ? SiSce"inai olncel^asabsent. With a "feeling akin to pain" I stood before the framed ordinance of secession whereon where inscribed the names of those who advocated the withdrawal from the Union. And as I ran my eye over the columns?many containing familiar names to me?I thought of the correlative thread it forms in Carolina's history and with a sigh, very equivocal in its nature, for was it pleasure or pain ? I IU1I1CU iinrtj. A I'JOS V/IVI .t IUVU tion of going to two cotton factories and a visit to the penitentiary, to reach the climax of my pleasure, viz: ^a visit to the office of the State. 1 received great courtesy as soon as I named my mission and was shown over both doors. Whether orthodox or not I believe Heaven is going to be a fulfillment of our fondest dreams on earth. Therefore it is with inexpressible pleasure I await going there. I often fancy myself with a complete library, a perfect printing press, and ever}* contrivance to promote my literary cravings! I would rather be the possessor of such a press as 1 saw in the State office yesterday, than to claim the greatest honors man could bestow. I had a peep into the editor's sanctum sanctorum and 1 wanted to see him, the author of the fine editorials I read daily, but he was out. The crops along the way, especially in Lexington county, were sickly in the extreme. 1 saw nothing that would afford more than half a crop until I struck the bottom lands on the Congaree river. M. O.

Georgia.] At Rixville, just three miles south of Adrian, is located the immense turpentine business of Hon. W. B. Hire, one of Emanuel's foremost citizens. .Mr. Rice came to Georgia several years ago, and moved to Rixville when that country was thinly settled. He embarked in the turpentine business, there being an abundance of tine timber in that section. For eleven years he has successfully managed this business, aud his interests now constitute many other pretentious enterprises. He is an extensive farmer, and makes a specialty of raising hay, German millet and peas, all ol which go to make good food for his different kinds 01 line skh k. of which he is a great admirer, lie eonduets a commissary which is under the able and efficient management of his younger brother, .Mr. S. Percy Rice. wiio some four years ago was wed to .Miss Claudia, the eldest daughter of Hon. John L. McLemore, of this city. Mr. S. P. Rice was also born in South Carolina, and has held his present position for the past seven years. He superintends generally the workings of the entire turpentine plant, and keeps the books of the business. He is a young man of proniiuence and popularity, and stands high in not only his own community, but the entire county. He is being prominently spoken of by the democrats of the county as a suitable candidate for tax collector next year. Mr. Rice's experience in the present position would especially lit him for the office of tax collector, and the Blade would delight to see such a deserving! young man honored by the people of his j county. The head of the linn, Mr. \V. B. liicc, has turpentine interests in Florida also. The extensive farm there is located at Herndon, and is under the perfect man- j agement of Mr. W. T. Phelps, The) capacity of the Florida still is about the same as that at Rixville, which turned out last j'ear some 12 or 13 hundred barrels of spirits turpentine, for which a ready sale is always found. Most of the product of Mr. Rice's distillieries goes to Savannah, which is the principal naval stores market of the world. ? - ' i ?- *! ii" r> r>:?

To shoAV the spirit of the man. Once a stranger to those parts arrived at Rixville late one afternoon. He (wished to go to a place some mile and a half from there, and the walk was not a pleasant one to contemplate, as the shades of night were falling. \Y. B. Rice was standing by his buggy when he was approached by the stranger, who inquired the direction and distance to his objective point. Without a former acquaintance Mr. Rice invited the stranger to a seat in his buggy, drove to his own home and sent the visitor to his destination. The stranger was the writer, and he has not forgotten the incident, though it has been eight years ago, and the acquaintance since has ripened into warm friendship, and there is no man of the writer's acquaintanc e whose good will is more valued. Mr. Rice has been always identilied with the advancement and upbuilding of his county and section. His wealth has been accumulated by honest, fair methods and shrewd business management, no small part of his success being due to his clever superintendent.

Both of these rarities were bequeathed to the university by Charles Sumner. The "Pindar" is dated 1020 and was loubtless used by Milton during his stay at Cambridge university. At the ?nd he has added an alphabetical index in manuscript, occupying two closely written pages of all the authors cited in his notes, with references to the pages in which their names occur. Milton's autograph is fouud in the pages of an autograph album or visitors' book kept, according to a custom common in the sixteenth century, by a Neapolitan nobleman, Camillus Carloyn by uame, who resided in Geneva from 1008 to 1040, where Milton, aphim A nnllwir fllltn J?11 CLILl^V , > mikCU uiui* jraph in this same album among the hundreds which it contains is that of Thomas Weutworth, the unfortunate Earl of Stafford.

"The most affectionate looking two ! handed trim play that 1 ever saw." said ; a Colorado {rentleman in one of the | house committee rooms, "was the one I that happened at La Junta, in my j state, between T?ijt Divide Jim* HratI ton and Oeorpe Cannon, as pi/.enish a i pair of real bad men <>f the typo that has now passed away as ever fanned a AT> or twisted a Bowie. "Gannon was the proprietor of the Gilt Edge honkatonk in La Junta, and it was at this plaee that he liad some trouble with Bratton. The .argument ended by Bratton hacking out of the door with his hands up. Gannon having the drop. Gannon didn't shoot then bei cause his gun wasn't loaded. He had been cleaning it and had forgotten to replace the cartridges. He'd have killed Bratton otherwise as a matter of course. "That same night Bratton sent word to Gannon that he meditated shooting him up some on the following day. Gannon wasn't a man to take to the cliffs or the cactus, having plenty of notches on his gun barrel himself, and he walked around the next afternoon like a light battery of artillery. 'Big Divide Jim' Bratton bulged him, however, by turning a corner suddenly as Gannon paraded down the main street, and then it was Gannon's hands that went tip for a change. Bratton had two guns covering him, and Cannon knew his gait. " 'This,' said Bratton, is where 1 get an even break for my coin. Now, you like mo so much, Gannon, that I want you to sort of show your appreciation of me by walk in around town linked arms with me lor awnne. "It was up to Gannon to comply with this peculiar request. 'IMtr Divide Jim' Bratton jabbed his guns back into his belt, and then he clutched Gannon's left arm and passed it through his right. The disadvantage of this arrangement accrued to Bratton. It left Gannon's gun arm free, while in case of argument Bratton would have to use his left gun. But 'Big Divide Jim' wasn't selfish. "The population of La Junta was amazed to see 'Big Divide Jim' Bratton and George Gannon, who had always been more or less sore on each other and who had had a quarrel that meant the death of one or both of them on the night before, walking arm In arm up and down the main street of the town. It looked like a peripatetic love feast between the two of 'em. But they were watching each other like cats. At the end of the street Bratton, still with his right arm linked to Gannon's'left, stopped suddenly and said: "'George, I ain't much on the blow about any gun suddenness that I may possess, but I sure want to give you a chance. You thrung it into me last night In a way that's eat up so much of the atmosphere around here that there's not enough air left in this neighborhood for both of us to breathe at one and the same time. I'm a-goin to count three, and when 1 say "three" it's a breakaway and a finish. You've got a loose right arm, but I ain:t no hog. One?two?three!' "The event proved 'Big Divide Jim' Bratton the quicker man and the better marksman. He got Gannon through the heart, whereas Gannon's ball lodged in Brntton's right wrist Bratton had to suffer his right hand to be cut off that same night. "The last time I saw him was in Creode.
