England is prac tically out of cotton for the first time in a generation ; the government re port for Septembt r is tiS, and is con sidered far above the mark ; there is no doubt of a great disaster to the crop in Texas; it is certain also that a wide-prevailing drought has blight ed the crop over a great part of tiie South; hold for awhile at least and await the outcome. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The election is over and the whole State will draw a long breath of relief. MeSweeney is governor by nearly 15,000 majority; Tillman is lieu tenant governer and Wharton is rail road 0‘Unmh- o ner by heavy majori ties.

It is the closing horror of the llhb century. The government has promptly come to the a'd of th • living sufferers with oil 000 rations ami a large number of tents. But such relief cun bo only temporary.

Ett-vJaxr, Sept. 12—While our people are waiting in breathless ex pectancy to hear from and relatives in tho section of Texas over the fi* rcest storms of the century is now raging, we can assure the suf ferers ilia* their Carolina friends are earnestly remembering them at a throne of mercy from whence com s an eye to pity and an arm to save. Wo note with great pleasure that Rev. Mr Creech lias just closed a most happy and prosperous revival meet ing at Gethsemane. There were twenty accessions to tho church— twelve by a profession of faith and eight by certificate. The young peo ple of that community are taking hold of the Lord’s work with com mendable zeal and it’s a cau«e of re joicing to their friends and brethren elsewhere. The result of yesterday's election is a matter of intense interest to our peop o, and many ideas arc advanced as to the future of the liquor ques tion. Of one thing wo feel perfectly as sured and that is that the people are going to demand of their officers sobriety. Scarcely a man can be found, it matters not how he stands on he liquor question, but insists that the men who run the affairs of tne county or state shall be sober men. Another important feature has de veloped in our election system—that the use of whiskey at the polls will kill the man politically in whose in terest it is used. The members of Camp Jefferies U. C. Veterans met at Wilkinsville yes terday and unanimously endorsed Commander G. Wash McKown us their representative on the county pension board. The Confederate veterans have no better friend in the State than Cantaiu McKown, and they are well aware of the fact that in him are centered not only tire elements of a gallant Confederate soldier but a first-class officer and gentlemen. Without any disuosiiion whatever to go behind ti\e returns of the first primary and find fault with the de clared result, we wish to call atten tion to some errors which have no doubt; operated against some candi date or candidates and of which they are perhaps in blissful ignorance. No doubt they are typugrt priical errors, but t hey should have be; u corrected before the result wvs de clared officially. Had the poll iFt aceoinponied the tabulated s’ute- menl t mse errors would have In-eo easiiv detecte I.

The old store house ut the Gordon Moore place near Hopewell postoffice on the York side of the river was burned last Saturday evening about 1 o’clock. This was one of the oldest land marks in this seciion. In the earliest days of the century it was a rendezvous for all the traders and travelers passing through this section and for many years was the metropo lis of western York! The string bund met at H. B. Mc Daniels last Saturday evening to practice. The Christian Endeavor Society met ut Mrs. Sallie Fosters lust Sab bath evening. Two new members joinee and other applications for membership were made. Mr. Johu H. Fowler has a sick child. Henry Millwood and Miss Mollie Brutten were married by J. L. Strain N. 1\, last Sabbath. The emigration fever still con- tir’ues among the coloredj people and we wouldn’t be surprised if a general exodus from this country takes place before next spring. That short crops and low wages have a tendency to fill their future will) gloom we have no doubt and they wee no hope for the betterment of their condition but in a change of homes and employees. Many whi*« families for the same reasons are leaving the farm and going to the cotton mills. We r gret to learn that Mrs. Martha L Smart', of Hopewell, is lying critically ill ut htr home.

Here is a question a Ledger patron wants us to give our readers and ask some of them to give the answer: A and B go to market with 30 apples each. A proposes to sell his at two for ono cent, and B proposes to sell his at three for one cent. But they gnd a customer who agrees to take all their apples ut the rate of five for two cents to which they both agree. But. they lose one cent by the trade. How is that? j. l. s. A Changi- In HiiHliiegH. Baxter Lemmond has bought Victor Gaffney’s interest in the grocery Store of Peeler it Gaffney, and the business will continue under the firm name of Peeler it Lemmond. Mr. Lemmond was once manager of The Fair at this place and is a young man of marked business ability who has, by bis gentlemanly and courteous bearing, made many friends here and won the respect and esteem of the people of Gaffney. Mr. Gaff ney is too well known here to need any comments upon his personal worth or his business qualifications, but in giving him up Mr. Peeler loses a valuable assistun', though he may gain another in his stead. “Vic” is a jolly, good fellow, accommodating and obliging to his friends and pat rons and strictly attentive to business in its every detail. He retires from the merchandising business to follow other pursuits more congenial to his taste and desires, though he has not fully decided as yet what he may do. We trust, however, that he will not go away trom Gaffney. He and his copartner, Mr Peeler, were compara tively inexperienced in the affairs of tho business world when they first opened up their store here, but by their energy and perseverance and their strict attention to the wants of their customers, they f-ucceeded in building up a trade with which they should be highly pleased.

Crops lu this section are very short; a great deal of the cotton will not make enough to pay fur the guano used, and there are plenty of fields that wo have noticed in our travels, of which it takes from five to eight acres to make u bale of cotton.

Correspondence of Tne Ledger.) Home, S. C., Sept. 12th—The Rev. S. T. Creech held a series of meetings at Gethsemane last week, from which great good, we believe, has resulted. The church was much revived, and 8ev:ral members added to it. It was a remarkably quiet and earnest meet ing, no great excitement, but serious earnestness of purpose in both preaclur und members of the church. On Sunday he was assisted by that good man, the Rev. I. J. Newberry, who is always welcomed lo re. He bap'-zed severil children and two young ladies, and rec*. ivtd into the chur *h twelve members.
