At a meeting of Marlboro Chap-1 ter, U. D. C., tho following named gentlemen were unanimously elected to serve as judges at tho corn and potato contest to ho decided next | Monday at 12 o'clock at Mr. Math eson^ warohousc : T. S. Evans, E. W. Breeden, Lee Adams, J. W. Crosland, A. G. Sinclair. ON NEXT MONDAY The Corn and Potato Contest ] Hf ill ho decided before the issue of I another papor. Tho committee' Has tried hard to gain the intorest o? the farmors for the last four u&onths. We fear that through forgetfulness, or the incouvon iehce of sending it, many larm er s will noglect to respond to our appeals. The price ot a sihglo bushol of | fiore or potatoes, is not much, but the agregato of contributions ought to bo a great deal. The next few days must bring in many contributions if the required nurn oo r of fifty competitors is socurod. Competitive corn and potatoes may bo received as late as 11,30 a. m. on next Monday. Contri butions not competitivo, may bo recived until Doo 13, when we hope to have a large amount of donated field and house-hold pro ducts to be sold by auction at Crpslands Hall.

DKAR MR. BROWN-While I ant still representing the Piedmont Fire Insu rance Association, of Spartanbug, S. C., this business led me down the Latta Branch Railroad into Marion comity, as far as Bingham. Here, I met Mr. W. W. Parham, who once resided in Hebron township in this oounty, and wrote him for several hun dred dollars. Mr. Parham is a little more than a "chip from the on hlock," for we found him conducting a large mercantile business, with two hustling young toen behind the counter ill his em ployment, in the persons of Mr. Clyde Parham, the oldest son of Willie, and Mr. Tommie Stanton, a son of Mr. J. T. Stanton, of Hebron. Clyde seems to have as much judgment as some mer chants whom we have met of riper years. Mr. Willie Parham drives out to tile stcre from his fine plantation each morn iug and back at night, where he has his second oldest son engineering and man aging his farm. Judging from surroun ding circumstances we are prompted to predict success to W. W. Parham. Here we had the pleasure of inspecting the Clio Lumber Co's large Saw Mill plant, and here we saw, according to our judgment, the finest and the best devised system of work that wc have ever seen, (and we have had the pleasure of inspec ting the great "mongrel system" at Way Cross, Ga.) This system is under the exclusive management of Captain W. A. Hiushaw, a tried and faithful servant over everything that has ever been com mitted unto Iiis worthy charge. As Mr. J. W. Powers, his yard hoss, was in Col umbia, we had to learn from Mr. H. B. Hamer, his efficient and accurate hook keeper, that they worked 60 hands, and we noticed 300,(XX) feet of dry boards for manufacturing purposes, just in front of the large substantial dressing shed, 36x 100 feet long. This department is conducted solely by Mr. J. L. McMaster, who has had many years of experience in the mill business. He has a lumber shed -18x80, an engine , shed 20x100. Here we met H. B. hine, a faithful darkey, who has been with' the Captain Pially years and is now watchman ami confidential man. J take this opportunity of thanking the Capt for a nice hill of insurance, as we are looking only for the best and most reliable risk in our territory. We were very favorably I nt pressed with the Agent at Bingham, Mr. Morris Pate, who seemed to he rushed with much bu siness, hut always mindful of thal admi rable trait of character "politeness," never to speak well of his enemies, as he bas none. It was there I heard of thc death of my uncle, Mr. Neil Newton, when I turned my face homeward, failing to see many other good men whom I in tended to interest in the great Piedmont Pire Association, of Sparlauhurg, ?S. C., of which I am agent for Marlboro and Marion counties. Respect nil ly? M, J. COVIMITON. Mof 21, 1001). ONE OF THE "HOME COMERS" Gol. Wolutyre Recalls Days in An te-bellum Columbia. TUB STATS. Col. & C. Mointyro of Beauty Spot plantation. Marlboro county, ono of tho largest and ui06t suc cessful planters in tho Pco Doo section, i? a guest of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Dempsey at the Waldorf. Colonel McIntyre is an ante bellum graduate of tho South Car olina college. His diploma boars the signature ot those profound scholars and brilliant writers, Dru. Thornwell, Lieber, Brumly, La Borde, Henry, Reynolds, Will iams and Pelham. Under their administration tho college was tho peer of Harvard ana* Yale, and ns extensively patronized. Colouel Mointyro has always ' felt a very deep interest in tho prosperity and development of tho city of his alma mater, and his visits to Columbia are much en joyed by his many friends. It was ( during his college days that tho I old wooden State house, chimneys I and all, was moved by ono bay bob- , tail horse in the presence of thou sands of interested spectators at tracted both by curiosity and in credulity. When the word was given and thc old building bogan j to creak and move a mighty cheer went up from the throats of thc ' vast multitudo. It was considered j a feat of marvelous mechanical in- l genuity. Next the new college chapel , was completed about the same time. < Ono of the proudest days of Col- j oncl McIntyre's life was, when lie received his diploma, one of the first given, in this suberb struc ture, from the hand of the immor tal Dr. rhornwell. Another event | which ho recalls was tho gas I ron otnic rebellion which necessitated < 125 young men to leave the college, as they had signed a pledge to do J so, if the trustees did not grant | their petition to hoard where they , elected. During the year, Colo nel Mclntyro and others, as the trustees had conceded the point, returned, which caused his class to outnumber any the college lias since graduated. It is very painful to him to state that its first honor man, Charlie Boyd, one of tho most gif ted men the State ever produced, was killed while leading his com pany in one of tho most sanguinary battles of thc war.
