[Correspondence of Thk Lkdoeb.I Etta Jane. S.C., August 20.—Since my last we have had a good deni of rain and several other ops and downs that I might mention as news this week but i must leave olT several for want of space. Last week Supervisor Scott let out the contract to build an iron bridge at Skull Shoals on 1'acolet, t he entire cost of which will be .tV.HK). Messrs. Pott man, of Abbeville county, and Kraft, of Georgia, got the contract. The bridge is to be built by the loth of December. The Thomson Mill bridge, on Thicket y, was bid off by John Blackwood for repairing at $87.50. Capt. J. N. King is visiting friends in this neighborhood. He has many friends here as lie has everywhere he is known. He is a walking library and one of the best fellows we ever saw. Tiie election' passed oil lust week very quietly, i - little notice was taken of it anyway, as tilings were practically all oneway. Our thanks are due Misses Fannie Kendrick and Noah I : ce for some choice peaches. -Our c untry never had a better crop of n 'hms, fruit, corn, etc., than we now nave. In many places cotton will bo a blank compared with the crop of former years. Messrs, Clary <k Son, of the Corinth section, have opened up a stock of goods in this section. James Garner has recouped suffi ciently to turn out to the bridge let tings. Your correspondent had a pleasant visit last week from Rev Mr. Gra ham, of the York Baptht High School for Boys and Girls. He speaks very highly of the prospects of the school. Clias. Bolt, of Union, gave us a call Iasi week on his way to the D.nyton- ville neighborhood. Charley is one of our very best friends and a porfec! gentleman, too, as all who come in social or busbies contact with him will agree. !n writing up the account o my don’t think that any fair-minded, im partial reader can torture what 1 said into any reflection upon ttye church, its pastor or its work. I am not tho man to be drawn into a fruitless news paper controversy over a church mat ter about which so many of us arc so notoriously ignorant. Neither do I propose to slubber over a theory that stands in contradiction with the com mand of the Master: “Go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in. that my house may be filled.’’ J- l. s.

The old belief that projectiles some times kill men in battle without hitting ! them must bo. abandoned in view of re cent scientific experiments. It was for merly supposed that the air 00mpressed and driven before the projectile, and technically called “the wind of the shot,” was capable oi striking a fatal blow, and even army surgeons have as sented to this theory. •But. says Youth’s Companion, ex periments have shown that tie air driven by a projectile, while capable of being in:-!::; 'rncously photograph' d in the form of a wave, does not possess sufficient energy to produce any de structive effect. Another theory which recent invest!- ; gallons have overturned is that the ex- : plosive effect sometimes exhibited by j bullets is due to compressed air driven into the wound, Experience shows that the appear ance of explosion arises from the rui- turc of the substance penetrated by the bullet. If tins substance is plastic or 1 watery, the impulse of the projectile is f distributed laterally in all directions among its particles, and they are driven asunder. • Such an effect has been noticed In battle when bullets have entered tho i brain, and accusations of using explo sive projectiles, contrary to the comity of nations, have been based upon them. ' By firing bullets into wet dough, every Indication of an explosion has been pro duced, although the same bullets, fired ; with identical velocity.

We mot an old Confederate soldier at Cowpens a few days ago and he was chopping at the old Cowpens Battle Ground and cut into a tree and found two musket balls that was shot in there in time of the Revolutionary war by Morgan’s army and the Brit ish. He said there was eighty seams grown over them. Rev. G. F. Clarkson preached his farewell sermon at Mesopotamia last Sunday, 25th, inst. He says he is going to Nashville, Tennessee to study theology. We hate to give him up, but the best of friends have to part sometimes. A protracted meeting closed at Skull Shoals Baptist church last Thursday. We visited Pea Ridge last Sunday and saw'Rev. W. E.
