LOCAL ITEMS Beaufort, S. C., SEPT. 20,1S77. The new pilot boat Bertha, Capt. Bucklev, was caught in a storm last Tuesday and had her foremast carried away. She is now in Charleston undergoing repairs. Mr. 0. P. Law, of Grahamville, is the happy possessor of a Bezoar stone. The j stone was cut by Prof. Holmes a few days ; ago when it was found that the nucleus j was au acorn. Mr. Kressel has been appointed by Gen. Moise to collect the arms in the ; hands of the militia, and his notice is j published iu this issue. If there are any companies that can stand inspection on the 16th prox. they will be permitted te retain their arms. parry visuea me puwjuiaiu huim uu jl Coosaw and Bull Rivers on Friday and expressed themselves highly interested in the extensive works of the different J companies. Gen. Jones was a genera! in the Con- ' federate army and afterwards held the same rank under Maximilian in Mexic* and looks as though he was equal to a half a doien wars yet. 1 Adjutant and Inspector General Moi e will inspect the National Guard of this < county in Beaufort on October 10th, and at Early Branch on the 20th. The companies will assemble at 10 o'clock on ' those days. Whenever Companies arc 1 not uniformed, they will appear in dark . colored clothes, with black felt hats, an.1 neatly arranged. Care shonld be taken to present as much similarity of color ( and style as possible. White gloves, and boots carefully polished, will add much to the general appearance of such Com 1 ma nds. Not less than fifty men will pass inspection, and no excuse for arms O' J equipments out of order, or showing indi cations of neglect will be allowed. Com- i mands which cannot pa's inspection will be disbanded, and all Companies which i i 11 1 __ cannot be prepared uaa as wen surrenuei their arms and equipments. It is to be hoped Gen Moise will bring his magnifying glasses with him when he visits^ Beaufort as the old Political Militia will be difficult to find. As for their appearing in the garb designated, that would be entirely impossible, but a subsequent order relieving them of appearing in blackened boots and requir ing them to have their bare feet washed might be complied with. third regiment, mounted. kipl.es.

The water-boat Agnes has had her new engine put up and Is now prepared to tow or supply water to any Vessels in need of her assistance. The boat has been thoroughly painted and overhauled which has added to her beautv as well as to her seo-worthyuess. The painting , was done mostly by Capt. Williams, and j her machinery put in by her engineer Mr. Redmond and Mr. Whitman. The authorities having satisfied themselves that there was no yellow fever at Brunswick, the Dallas came in Friday night loaded and sailed next morning. The City of Austin having been detained in quarantine in New York several days sailed for Port Royal Tuesday and will * arrive some time to morrow. Ii would be well to have her carefully examined before being allowed to land even if she 1 is from New York. Barnwell county is to have a County Fair comuieucing November 21st at which prizes will bo offered for the best drilled cavalry and iufantry companies besides a liberal list of prizes for farm products. The subject of a county fair in Beaufort has never been broached but another year we hope some of our enterprising citizens will show tha' we are not so far behind the age as would seem from this lack of enterprise 01 our part. We will guarantee the islands will make a good exhibit of fruits, stock and cereals and trust the matter will receive attention. , ^, i Quite a distinguished party of gentlemen were at the Sea Island Hotel last Friday, consisting of Hon. Johnson Ha? good, Comptroller General; Gen. R. C. ' Jones, ofthe Agricultural Department, Washington; Col. Thomas Taylor, State Inspector of Phosphates; and l>r. H. R.

The army of laborers at work picking j phosphate rock in this vicinity for the I Palmetto Company ceased work Satur- : day eveuing last on accouut of a reduc * ^ - ?--- ?! tion or20 per cent in ine price paiu. iui i the rock. It seems that the company thought they were paying too much for the quality of rock they were receiving and notified the sub-contractors that on Monday morning the price was to be reduced. The contractors then notified the laboicrs that they would only pay one dollar a ton of 2500 pounds whereupon there was an entire cessation of work. The men who had assembled refused to work at the price and cither sat around the wharf quietly or returned to their homes. Not a loud or angry word escaped them bi# it was evident from their manner that unless the old price was restored the work had come to an end. During the past week there were over a hundred men engaged in picking rock but when Saturday night came they found their visions of wealth dispelled as many received not over a dollar for their weeks' work, the highest realized by any being about eight dollars. After a long delay Mr. Williams, our Intendant, who owns a dozen or more flats, consented to pay the men the old rate of $1.25 per ton and a few flats were set at work and be fore night the other contractors finding that their investments were in jeopardy unless they also agreed to the old rate at last succumbed and the men showed a willingness to resume work. Severn schooners and sloops from Parrott creek had taken in cargoes here but learned that it would not sell in Charleston and offered to sell out to the Palmetto company but their offers were decliued and the fleet hoisted sail Monday afternoon and left for other fields. The contractors who had permits from the Palmetto Company are very sore over the reduction as they have just titled out a large number of flats at considerable expi use and before they hail i olianoe to reinburse themslves the price is reduced so as to ieave a very smals margin to pay for the .'o'S of flats, anchors, and rope, and breaking of the expensive tongs. THE MARCH OK IMPROV KM EST N There arc very few places of the same size in which so many and such exteu sive improvements have been Hod aic being canicd on for the past season as in Beaufort. The whole town is undergoing a renovation, and the spirit ot repair s ems to be epidemic and is? sheering sign of the times. Within the . past few weeks the Messrs Schnper fcav< 1 udded extensive and important addition, to their stores on Bay St., and seeui t< ( anticipate an increase of their ;tlread.>. large business. Their outlay upoi each of their stc res must amount tosexer al thousand dollars. F. W. Schcper ha renovated, improved, modernized, an painted up handsomely two fine privat residences on the Bay, and K. A. Schc|r er is now doing the same to another fi?? house comer of West and Craven Streets Dr.|T. G. White has remodeled a;id pain cd up his own house corner of Scott and Graven Streets and has made a most attractive residence, into which he has removed, of what was formerly au ey< sore while rented to other parties. Shei iff Wilson has converted the old Sams house on the point into an elegant mansion. Mr. Geo. Holmes has made a fini residence of the Bythcwood ho s 5 that was a dingy old building of (argc dimensions, which haudsome paint and modern blinds and windows have rendered a neat | and habitable home for two families. , The Fuller mansion on the Bay has been elegautly fitted up and most artistically painted by Mr Wallace who purchased it some time ago. Mrs. Apple has added a story to her store on the Bay and occupies the the upper stories as a resi* dence, which is neat and comfortable. The Freedman's Bank building which was purchased some time ago by Mr. W. II' Lockwood, has been tastefully ana handsomely done up and painted, is m w the residence of Mr. Lockwood, who runs a Bauking House on his own account. The Law building now occupied by several lawyers offices has taken on a new coat cf paint and has been otherwise improved under the directiou of the agent of the owners of the property who re-ide North. Robert Smalls has expended at least $1000 in tittiug up soiue buildings into residences and stores opposite the Post Office, while the houses of Dr. Stuart Mr. Pollitzer and Mr. Verdier have all become brightened up with tasteful painting and coloring, to say nothing (f the numberless small houses all over town that the sound of the hammer attracts attention to, and we feel as if a lease is berng taken out for the old town and she is putting on a fresh garb.
