Kihtok Horry Hkkat,i>: With the mercury in the nineties, the political cauldron has boon boiling o'er the brim for some time; but now the heat has abated, the temperature is at freezing point. Our peoplo are interested in something better. If you will allow mo 1Y HEKALI), ' [space I'll tell your readers about it. On Aug. 20th, a nine days meeting began at Joiner's Swamp; our be loved pastor II. D. Graingor doing the preaching. lie did his best, warning sinners of their danger, with such forcible arguments that not a few became alarmed and lied for I mercy. Hefore the meeting eatne to a close six were happily converted and made children of God; while others went away still weeping over their sins. During the week there were seven accessions to the Church and on Suuday the 28th at I).30 A. M. Hro. Grainger met these at Cannon Mill and baptized them. They then returned to the Church for the twelve o'clock services, after which they took the parting hand and all went their way homeward, rejoicing because of the great things that the Lord had done for them during the week. This was one of the most enjoyable week's meetings that it has ever j been our privilege to participate in. There was the greatest interest manifested by Baptists and Methodist. Some of the Methodist bretheren did excellent work in exhorting, in showing sinners the dangers to which they were exposed, what thoy must do to inherit the life beyond the grave and that they could ontertain no hope and live in sin. Many good Christians testified for Jesus, saying that lie had done many and great things for them whereof they were glad.

Washington, September <S.?Special: During the current fiscal year work will be carried on in South Carolina on fourteen distinct projects of riroi and harbor improvements Congress at the last session provided $-131,885 for this purpose. Of this money there will be spent on three haibors $337,000 and on eleven rivers $97,885. It will be of interest to notice briefly what the engineer bureau proposes to do with this money. The system of improvement for Charleston harbor has been so recently explained in The News and Courier that nothing remains to he said of that subject. All of the money required for the completion of the harbor of Georgetown is now available. Tho amount is $12,000. This will bo expended in dredging the twelve-foot channel already secured to a width of 200 feot entirely through the bar, and when onco it is secured the engineers are of the opinion that it will be permanent. As a result of the work already done, the engineers say the commerce of Georgetown has more than doubled, and the completion ol the improvement, will still further add to tho commercial development of the city. in tho improvement of YVinyah Bay $100 000 is to be used. This will be expended in the construction of dikes across tho sloughs and along the inner edges of tho breaker shoals. Not much can be accomplished toward completion of tho project with tho relatively small sum, for the work still involves an outlay of $2,181,250. All the money necessary for the completion of tho project for the improvement of tho Kdisto River is available, or $7,385, and it will be used in clearing tho channel to give easy navigation for rafts and flatboats* The expenditures on this river will have amounted to $33,385. In clearing tho Great Bee Dee Itiver of snags and other obstructions there will be used $10,000. As a result of tho past work on this stream I ono new transportation line was established, and parties using the rivet report that much benefit has and will result from the work oarrin/1 nn t.v - ? "J tho United States. The river in the State that will have the largest expenditure is the Santee, and $30,000 is tho amount available. This will be spoilt in snagging operations and in cutting a canal between Estherville and Minim Creek large enough for river steamers. Of course the work cannot be completed with the funds in hand, as the projeot stiil calls for $290,000. Snagging operations 011 the Waceamaw River will be continued with $10,000, the worst obstructions to be removed first. To finish the work on tho river there must yet be provided $50,000. A similar sum of $10,000 will bo expended on Wappoo Cut in securing a low water channel of six feet depth from Ashley River to Stono River. The bulk of the work in dredging. The project for the improvement of tho Watcreo River has been completed, but $2,5000 will boj spent this year in tho maintenance of the channel secured. This sum is not so large as the engineers desired, but rilUKSDAY SJ a good deal of the work can l>o done to maintain the rUer in proper condition. The Congareo Diver 1ms *6,000 to l?o applied toward a project that still requires$29,500 for its cmnple- ' tion. This money will he used in i the removal of snags and other obstructions. During the year the worst obstruction to navigation on Mingo Creek will be removed with the *3,000 available. To entirely clear the channel there must s ill be provided *4,000. There will be spent on the Little l'oe Dee Diver *6,(X)0 in the removal of snags. To complete the work $3,600 is required. The completion of the work on Clark ltlver will result from the expenditures of the $2,600 on hand, when it is expected, the improvement will become of service to those living in its vicinity.
