Mr. Hilliard Curry lost a little son, 2 veers old, with Cholera Infantum, on the 28th ult. There is gotttng to bo more sickness than we havo boen accuatomed lo, ?nd tome of lt is quite severo. The Farmers' movement snd the op position it has engendered here have de veloped ono faot beyomi controversy, and that ia. that we have n very largo and flourishing crop-of-fools. Mr. Fal Crisp h. s been taking n great deni of pains with his tobueoo patch. And it does look flourishing; but on close examination, but on close exaoil nation, he found lt was nil mullion. I see from tho newspapers thnt n io n eral Prlnoowas to <b lu ,>r an address at the Commencement exercises nt Clinton on the llrst of July.

I would .scorn to nit in nay Congress, ex cept on terina of perfect equality. Iftiur mombers dare not express their honest sentiments and contend for honest mea sures, they hail bettor bo at homo. On such ternis they uro not worth their salaries. I think it in about time for comebody to make n move for the abolition of tho Se?alo and Congress of tho u. S. .It has become a Inigo and expensive Debating Society only this, and nothing moro. I will venture the guess that there has not been II half dozen genuine, honest laws passed by Congress since the close of tho war. The wholo struggle hus hoon, all the time, for party advantago. Cor some years past tho especial contest has boon a's to which party should niko thc lend in courting tho soldier voto. This contest has caused tho honest pooplo of the Country hundreds of mil lions of dollars, fraudulently paid out in pensions. Both parties in Congross aro fully aware of this, but yet each ono fears to protest, lost the other should gain In favor With the soldiers. It hus become II shanie, a nuisance, un outrage, and If thoro is any thing worso, it's this. WATERLOO. BILL. Mrs. W. T. Smith has the best Qardon in the comity. Miss.

During the rain here last week, ono of our merchants complained considerably about having to sit up in bed all night with ail umbiella stretched over him to keep dry. Col. J. IT. Wharton certainly has one of the la st crops in the county, judging from some he brought to this place last week, tho stak was over waist high, and had taroo or four blooms. Mr.Calvin Fuller has bought'tho Cen tral Hotel of this place, and Mr. J. T. Harris lots purchased tho dwelling of Mr. Calvin Fuller.

The river is over tho bottoms again, it seems almost im possible to gola crop OH low lands, hy tho lime tho bottoms eau dry oil, lt will bo rather late to plant again. We hear sumo nf thc farmers say that in 1884,corn was nlar?tod as late as the Hi th of July, and ny fall favoiug it made good corn. We were very sorrl to hear a few days since that Mrs. Ari.til was still very low. She has boen sick for about six or seven months, ami does not seem to Improve anv. Mr. Arial! has boen able to till all of his appointments up to this time, be preached an abbi sermon for us on last routh Sunday at Kings Cliupnel.

Columbia lotter to Augusta Chron icle : A prominent and well informed Statistician, who bas been traveling in tho ?South for nearly twenty years during the growing of the cotton crop, assured me to-day t bat tho South Carolina farmers are in a better financial condition than those of any other Southern State. Ile says that the farmers in the other States were unable to bold cotton last year, but that a sur prising amount was held in this State. In one county alone over 6,000 bales were in the hands of farmers as late as February. Not mort; than ninety per cent, of the entire crop bad gone to marked at that time. In fact, so much of the crop was held back that the large cotton braises North believed that the estimate of South Carolina's production bud been overstated until an investigation by trusted representatives developed the fact tsatod. This gentleman also tells me that the outlook in the South west, especially in Texas and Ala bama, is most encouraging, but in north Georgia and South Carolina the prospect is no better than at the same time last year. In Texas the cern crop was so abundant last year that it could not be marketed properly, and consequently the farmers are SO well supplied with this cereal that they have enlarged the cotton urea by reducing the acreage recently put in corn. Our farmers, anticipating the need of corn to make up tho deficiency in stock food caused by the loss of the oat crop, have devoted a part of their lands recently put in cotton to corn. An evidence of the finan cial Improvement of South Caro lina farmers is found in the fact that the amount of supplies and fertilizers purchased has been de creasing annually for several years, and this year alone the Having in these two Items has amounted to something like ii million and a half of dollars. Another strong reason to suppose that there has been an improvement is shown by the nu merous railroads now projected, to which the farmers are subscribing liberally, far In excess, usually, of the cities ami towns. All of the upper counties are wild on the sub ject of railroads. Greenville, Spnr tunburg, Laurens, Anderson, Ches ter, Riehland, Abbeville, Newberry, Kdgofield and other counties are reaching out in every direction. All this means that the people have something to give, for If they did not have a surplus such enterprises would meet with little encourage ment. Down in Front!
