PUBLISH KD EVERY TUESDAY. ONS DOL.LAH A. V JO A it. CHEAP LAHOR IN THE SOUTH. The Negroee the Great Source of the Sooth's Future Wealth?Their Labor will Generate Millions of Capital. The following letter upon the labor problem and tho industrial resources of the South ia from the pon of Col. John L. Black, Of Greenville, und will prove instructive if not convincing upon the points he discusses : The slave labor of tho South did not compote direotly with tho white labor of the North prior to 1800. be cause the negro produced exclusively cotton, sugar, rice and tobacco. That portion of the slave population used in domestic service wus not a producing, but U consuming class, and barred from work at the South tho laboring white man who aspired to as sorvile a position as that of domestio servant. The sentimontal crusade of so-called philanthropy, directed against Afri can slavery, led to its downfall. As u Southern man and un ex-slaveholder, the writer udmits that tho institution was in many respocts objectionable, und its abolition is not regretted whon, after the lapso of thirty yours, it is {tlainly demonstrated that the labor of he freed nogro costs less thun tho former labor of tho slave. Tho nogro is now engaged in rearing himself, pays his own doctor's bills and funeral exponsos, as it were, carries his own insuranco and pays tho parson to minister to his spiritual comfort, charges which humano masters formerly took upon thomsolves to pay. The price ol tho free negro's labor is not over one half of whut it cost as a slavo. Heretoforo, slnco 18(1(5, tho great mass of this freo nogro labor has been concentrated on tho production of cot ton, sugar, rice and tobacco, and from tho nuturul increase of this race too much cotton?und porhaps too much of tho other products named?is being made, tho nutural result boing low prices. As a remedy, much of this labor is drawing Itsolf from tho cot ton Holds and is finding employment In other linos, in manufacturing, min ing, building railroads and other so called public works. With cotton under ten conts per pound the lnbor of an ublebodied black man can always bo hud In tho South tor fifty, sixty, or at tho highest seventy cents per day. As a patient lalxirur the negro has no equal; ha hue no trades union or eight hour law notions, but consents und doos work cheerfully, ten to olovon hours duily. His movoments uro not us quick as thoso of the white man, but his patient endurance is much groator, and us ho tolls ho whiles away care with song. In tho colored raco oxists tho groat source of tho South's futuro wealth. Tho sentimental abolitionist of the olden time, little imagined that aboli tion successful und tho nogro eman cipated, ho would?not as a slave, but as a free man und alongside of his old master?bocomo the fertilo means of enriching tho South. This senti montal class in tho North has over been clamorous for tho olovation of labor, and they now havo tho fruits of it at homo whoro tho laborer has boon elevated until ho will not labor, but by trades unions and labor organi zations aspires to rule and govern and control the capital ho does not own. Honco tho elevated, educated and en lightened labor of many portions of tho North is not labor, but a clamoring horde of bosses who must needs con trol their employers. Whon tho Irishman was no lougor available, the immigration of Chinese, Italians, Hungarians and such like was oncouragod In o? tier to supply tho labor market in tho No, IV But for the accession of these lattor cmzi many sections of the rich North would be in a collapsed condition now. But at the South no foreign immigration finds its way : thoro the freed nogro is present in sufficient numbers to supply all demands on the labor market, and ho Is likely to keop on In tho oven tenor of his way for u century yet to come. Tho Italian and the Chinuman in tho North work cheaper than uny other race. Because they live on cheap food. At tho South tho nogro gets such food as pleases him far cheaper than an Italian or a Chinaman can feed himself in the North. Hence the nogro in the South can and will labor for less than either of tho com peting classes roferrcd to. Tho mild ness of tho climate und small cost of fuel make his housing und his clothing cheaper than the fuel and housing of uny other laboring man In tho Union. Tho cost of such clothing as ho goner ally wears is so small that pructically it amounts to nothing. Ono day's work ]ior weok will food him, and tho wuges of anothor day will, on un aver age, clotho him. His wife, as a rulo, takos cure of horsolf. Now this man is free and ns a citizen of this great country has a right to labor or not as ho pleases, and he both can and will work more cheaply than even that so much talked of pauper labor of tho Old Country. Whatevor froo nogro labor at tho South produces can be produced no longer by the educated whito labor of the North, us tho nogro can underpro duce his Northorn laboring brother by forty to fifty per cent. Last Octobor tho writer saw ono hundred ablo-bodiod negro laborers, singing merrily at their work, making bricks and hand ling thorn for tho orcction of a cotton factory at GafTnoy City in South Caro lina. They woro paid weokly in cash, sixty cents per day of olovon hours. In tho same yard wore thirty bricklay ors and as many rough carpenters working on tho mill building. Only four of thoso mechanics recoivod over $1.00 per day and nono over $1.26, tho others ranging from seventy flvo to ninety conts por day. Tho bricks wore going into tho walls of this factory at a cost of less than $(1 por thousand, including comont founda tions. In tho yard woro ono and one half million foot of Georgia pine, which was delivered at a cost of $7.50 por thousand foot. This factory, with an (Outfit of looms and tho best modern machlnory. has boon eomplotcd at a cost of about $18.50 por spindlo. W here olso In tho United States can this be done oxcopt in tho South ? The poor whlto pooplo llvo, thrive and keop fat at thoso wages, they aro patient and genorally industrious and onjoy llfo to a greater degree than do the majority of tho similar class in tho North. Poverty alone will mako a man labor. If i?H were oduoatod and rich, who wou?'l plow and dig, spin and woavo, toll In i".nlno or'workshop V No ono. But thoro Is a natural luw thut should regulate wagos, and It is highor than the law of any land?it is ono of tho laws of God. The laboring man should receive as tho fruits of his labor enough to clotho him warmly, houso him healthfully and anothor third equal to either of these to supply his ,'anolful wants. If he rocolvos less than tho first two-thirds he will starve or die; if he does not have a llttlo mar Kin tor fanciful expenditure ho will Income dissatisfied. Even at the low rate of wages In the South, tho laborer has a larger margin loft after being housed and clothed than has the laborer In tho North. On tho othor hand,'If somuohls paid for wages as *ot to leave a good margin of profit on Abe employer's sljle. the laborer will soou Und hlmsolf without an omployor. The educated and olovated labor In the North la runny case* has loft a slim profit to the (tsapltaiist omployor. The labor the South now has will soon generate millions of wealth. The mth now holds the long loyer in tbo labor supply, aud will soon hold the plethoric bank account. Cheap pig iron, oheap cotton, cheaply manu factured cotton goouB, sugar, rice, tobacco and many other products** 111 help raise its fallen fortunes. No Con Sress can legislate to protect the [orthern laboring man from the active competition of his black rival at the South. The South is now marching onward and most of this progress is due to anfabundant supply of cheap, patient and contented labor. The rapidly increasing population of the Smith Buppliee too muoh labor for the production of its staple crops. While other farm products can oe added, such as increased grain and forago crops, stilloven with a suffloient production of cereals and meats to supply all domestic wants, there will bo too muoh cotton, rice, sugar, and tobacco to insure remunerative prices. The excess of labor, especially the whites, can be applied to cotton spin ning to the best advantage to laborer and employer. This is notably true in tho Carolinas and in Georgia, which will be the great cotton spinning sec tion of the South. Thoso States will soon manufacture more cotton than thoy produce, oven though the pro duction be increased, as it will be. Evidence of tho prospective inoreaso in this line is found in the constant building of new mills, the published reports of profits in this business, and tho quotations of the selling price of cotton-mill stocks in the Charleston, Atlanta and Augusta papers. Somo of thoso stocks pay 20 to 35 per cent, per annum, and sell for $140 to $175 per share, $100 par. Tho white labor gathered into mill* and other manu facturing enterprises, .will but make more room for tho negro In the cotton fields. When It comes to Iron ore mining and smelting, tho negro Is In his proper element, Evon now they aro used in this work as far North us Sparrow's Point. Md., and in the Iron works uround Philadelphia, Pa. A rocent press dispatch from Plttsburg, Pa., glvos tho following significant In formation : " About 250 nogroes from tho South arrived at Drlnton station to-day. Col ored laborers will have tho first ehunco by tho Carnoglo Company at all its works In preference to foreigners who apply for work. James Garloy, general munager of tho plant, expects nearly 1,000 others in a month." After Mr. Carnogiegots all ho wants of Southern surplus labor there still will bo moro than enough loft In tho South to insure an abundance of cheap labor there. A? tho cost of clothing, housing and feeding tho negro In the North will bo In excess of tho amount necessary In tho South for his wagos, clothing, food and housing, his labor still will bo fifty per cont. choapor in tho South than in tho North. Said a Now England shoo manufac turer to tho writer : "I mako no shoes that I can wholesale for loss than $2.50 per pair, because my educated and organized labor costs mo from $2 to $3.50 per day. I cannot apply such labor on coavco or common work." " Who," I uskod, "will mako shoos for the poor man ?" "It must bo dono," he replied, " whoro labor is choaper." Now. while the negro Is a poor cotton mill hand, ho is cortainly a descendant of St. Crispin. Ho is the vory best of shoe hands and soon must bo utilized to lmute shoes for poor poo] ~. And this will , be nothing now to Southern men of ante-bellum days, for tho negro, then a slavo, mado somo of tho best hand-stitched work over worn. Ho can and will do it again. In the tobacco factories of Richmond, Lynch burg and Danville, Va., and In tho tobacco factories of North Carolina, the negro looms up In all his glory ; ho is at homo and makes himself useful. Nor will this usoful man, brother and citizen bo usoful In these factories alone. Ho grades railroads, Is brake mun and train hand on the road, and tho time may como when tho banded locomotlvo engineers and switchmen shall becomo so exacting in their demunds that they will have to stand uside, and tho nogro may 1111 every yard as switchman, may play fireman, may evon take tho cab and run tho onglno. Tho great party of progres sive ideas, which has hold tho roins of tho national government for the last thirty years, has crammed ovory postal car on Southorn linos full of negro mail clerks. All of this, dono as a party measuro, only provos that if tho negro's faculties aro sufficient to qualify him for railway mail service ho Is cortainly ablo to handlo tho throttle of a locomotive. Tho North has the money to-day ; tho South has an abundant supply of tho best labor on earth. A now ora Is dawning, and tho next half century may mako tho South relatively tho richest section of the Union. The Stoky or an Adventurek.? A few days ago u judginont was obtain ed In Denver against Stephen W. Dor soy for $4f>0 for a piano. Ton years ago Dorsoy would have carried ten times $450 in his vest pocket for loose change, and any piano doalor would have gladly sold him a thousand pianos on long time. Stephon W. Dorsoy was ono of tho most brilliantly successful carpet baggers of his time. A Vormontor by birth, ho acquirod western ways early in lifo in Ohio, and after an unovontful career in tho army appeared in Ar kansas aftor tho war, whoro his talent for political intriguo onablod him to control tho republicans of that Stato. Ho manipulated Stato issues of railroad bonds to such advantago that ho mado a for tu no. Then he went to the Sen ato. Prom that time his political powor declined, but his groat cattle company in tho wost soon netted him millions. Ho was tho Monte Crlsto of tho west. His cattle ranged on a thousand hills and ho was a veritable king. But tho oxposure of Dorsoy's part in tho star route frauds led to his ruin. Ho spont noarly all of his fortune to secure his acquittal, and a panic in live stock circles loft him hopelessly In debt. Tho ex-carpotbag millionaire Is Is now a broken old man. He will novor rogain his former plnco in politi cal and financial clrclos. The remain der of his lifo must bo spont in dodging creditors and in dreaming of the days when ho played tho rolo of dictator and indulged in all tho follies of a spoiled favorite of fortune.?Atlanta Constitution. ?Mr. R. H. Edmunds, formerly of the* Manufacturer's Record, which he brought to Its present promlnenco as an oxponont of Southorn interests, writes to a frlond that " tho wonderful way In which the South has mot tho prosont troublo, as compared with all othor sections, has attracted universal attention, and tho result will bo, when tho panic Is ovor, such a flow of capi tal to this section as wo have never soon before. Tho accumulated wealth of tho North, which must find a flold for investment, discouraged by the many failures throughout the Wost and tho Northwest, will be turnod Into tho South by millions. It will go into cotton mills, Into Iron works, Into divorslflcd industries, into mineral and timber lands, and Into gold raining, for thero Is an abundance of gold In tho South whon the raining is rightly managed. Moroover, thore will bo a largo immigration from tho West of the class of pooplo which the South needs?small farmors who have saved up a I it i In monoy, skilled mechanics and others." ?The Wester ri Tobacco Journal ad duces figures to show that the annual per capita'consumption of manufactur ed tobacco in this country, on a basis of 60,000,000 population, is flvo and one-third pounds, costing not less than $5 at retail. No othor country ap proaches the United States in the amount and value'of tobacco committed per capita. IHIiij ARP AND THE BEES. Fighting to Get Rid of the Vermint* ?Wonderful Thinge About the Lit tle Workers?The Sting of a Bee end Its Effecte. Atlanta Constitution. There is one good thing about gat ing stung by a bee. It makes you for fet all other troubles for a little while, have had lots of fun with these bum blebees for the last few days and it re newed my youth. Time was when I thought it a big thing to fight " voller jackets " and take my chances with the other boys. The bravest boy was the biggest fool and would stay at the hole the longest and thresh all the leaves off of his brush and get stung before he surrendered. I am not that brave now, and I fight with exceeding caution, but I have killed over two hundred in two days and fought fair and square. My weapon Is a erum nan and I take 'em coming and going, but they crowd me sometimes and my antics attracted attention among the un born, for they can see mo in the up stairs piazza and one good lady lnquir The beos come out where the weather ed if Major Arp was subject to fits, boarding joins the floor and my repeat ed assaults have made them mad gen erally. Up to this time they have stung every member of the family, even to the little grandehild who lives with us, and I'm going to exterminate them if it takes all summer. We tried hot water, but it will not reach them. Just think of that poor little child go ing round with one eye closed and afraid she will lose the other one ; and Mrs. Arp's head all swelled up with two humps that a phrenologist couldn't diagnose We can't sit In the down stairs piazza with any security. It Is a bigger thing right now than bimetal lism or free coinage or tho tabernacle mooting. In fact, It in a relief from politics to fight bees and study thorn In tho books. I wish the editors would hold up awhile and go to tho woods and fight yeller jackets or wasps or hornets and get stung a few tlmos. It would bo a rollof to the country and I have heard that such stings are good for rheumatism or any norvous affec tion and I know that ft takes tho con colt out of a man for awhile. My book says that tho proper name is "bumblebee," but there Is no humility about these at my-house. Thoro are from 70 to 300 in a colony and so I know I have nearly whipped tho fight. They live only one summer and never rebuild In the same place The books say there are three kinds? the masons and tho ear pouters and tbo diggers, but what they aro good for I don't know unless it Is to make a man more willing to quit this world and prepare himself for anothor. If thoro wore no snakes und tarantulas and stinging things and deadly contag ions and demagoguos and thieves and fusses wo wouluen't want anothor world. The lltt'e honey boo Is a trump and a wonder from stem to stern. It Is good to ruminate about their wisdom und skill and their government. Just think of ono quoon being the mother of 20,000 and controlling thom all moro absolutely thun any human mother controls her children. Just think of 10,500 workers and only 500 drones in a colony. Theso drones aro gentle men, and remind you of our gentlemon loafers and hsvel Is who set about on the piazzas of tho hotels and watch the girls go by. But tho drones don't en joy thomsolvos but a month or two. Tho queen gets tired of thom and gives her orders und then the massacre of St. Bartholomew begins. In an hour's time every ono Is slain?stung to death by the workers, and their puffy, bloat ed carcasses dragged out and tumbled on the ground. Thoro is no little thing in nature moro wonderful than tho honeycomb that theso little workers make. Its mathematical construction gives the most space with the least enclosure, tho arched top and bottom of every cell, tho exact and uniform thickness of every division and tho wisdom shown in shaping the whole storehouse to suit tho shape of tho hive is, indeed, mar velous. Then there is the division of tho workers into brigades and regi ments and companies, somo to gather honey, somo to make wax, some to build tho colls, somo to stand guard, somo to wait on tho queen and bo her escort as she moves uround, and a whole rogiment to keep their wings go ing liko revolving fans and supply fresh air in the hive. That fan business makes tho humming that is hoard in tho hive day and night. It is the flut ter of tho wings of tho fanners. How in tho world they do everything in tho dark is a wondor to me. I was talking to my friend, Mr. Bussey, about It on tho train some time ago, and ho told mo confidentially that ho was experi menting to soo if he couldon't cross honey bees with lightning bugs and get up a boo t hat could see how to work ut night or in tho dark. Ho has uppplied for a pat cut on the idea, but whether ho has succeeded or not in his experiment I have not hoard. Ho was very sanguine, and tho only troublo, ho said, was about tho cross finding room in the tail for tho firoworks tau I the sting too. But Mr. Bussey is an engineer on tho State road and knows what ho is about. Tho sting of a hoe is said to bo the most porfect war weapon over invent ed. It is exquisite in its mechanism. It is a hollow tube, and yet the point of tho finest cambric neodlo Is iin monso whon compared with it. Under tho microscope the sting is porfect In its shape and smoothness, so much so that the point is almost invisible, whereas tho point of tho needle undor tho same glass looks liko a groat rough crowbar with seams and ruts and ridges all over It. This is tho dlffor onco botwoon tho works of God and man. And yot tho same Almighty hand that mado tho little boo with his wonderful instincts und attachments mado tho univorso?tho boundloss, limitless univorso whore there aro stars to be soon by tho Lord Ross tolos cope, whoso light takes 00,000 yours to roach us. Contomplato that for a momont, yo little concoitod minds who think it smart to say, " I don't believe in God. I urn an agnostic." Sixty thousand years for the light to reach us, and Lord Ross said that tho star was in tho nour edge of tho universe. Light travels through spaco about 100,000 miles in a second of time, which is moro than ten billions of miles in a day. Then count It for a year and then for 00,000 years and give it up. We may well oxclalm, " Lord, what Is man that Thou aro mindful of him." It is well for us nil to stop a little while now and then and ponder upon tho works of creation,1 from tho little busy bee to tho confines of that univorso that we may some day occupy as spirits unfottorod by tho flesh. But I must up and fight some, more bumbleboos, for ono has just stung tho dog, and ho is rolling over in the grass in a tumultuous manner. ?Tho vote on tho repeal of tho Sher man hi w has boon analyzed, showing that 138 Democrats voted for the re peal and 77 against: 101 Republicans voted for and 24 against; tho 0 Popu lists voted against roponl.

The United State* to Furnish the Money and the State* to Hold the Com, Wheat, Rico and Cotton?Con - IHo?man Talbert's New Scheme. Special to the News and Courier. Washington, September 5.?Sena tor Butler Is Buffering from a severe cold and in consequence has beon indis posed for several days. He is satisfied that no action on the repeal bill in the Senate will be taken for two or three weeks, and as he is paired with Don Cameron he proposes to go home and take a few days' absolute rest. He said to-day that he does not ex pect the President to render a de cision in the internal revenue ool leotorship case until after the financial anestion pending in the Senate is set ed. Representative Shell is slowly re covering from hiB recent accident, and as his physloian has recommended absolute rest he expects to leave hero for home Thursday for an indefinite period. Representative Talbert has prepared a bill to relieve the financial string ency, whioh he proposes to introduce in the House to-morrow. Mr. Talbert takes particular pride in announcing that ho has held various Eositlons in the Farmers' Allianco and el pod to formulate what is known as the "sub-treasury soheme" or the "Ocala demands/' His bill 1b drawn upon the sub-treasury plan, and if it should ever become a law Mr. Talbert oluims that the farmers will be onabled to deposit their whoat. cotton and other farm products with the State Treasurer and through the latter re ceive United States notes in return. Here is the substance of Mr. Talbert's romarkable financial proposition: Upon the demand of any State, ox pressed through any legally authorized officor, tho Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to issue notes of the gov ernment of like denomination as treas ury notes at present issued and in cir culation, which notes shall be a legal tender at their face valuo for all debts, public and private and non-interest bearing, and an amount of said notes, not to oxceod $30 per capita upon the population of each State, ac cording to the last census preceding tho applies* >n to the Secretary of tho Treasury by said officer, be issued to SUCh Stato upon COndltibns hereinafter prescribed." Tho second section provides that the Stato making a demand in accordance with tho 1st section shall deliver to the Secretary of tho Treasury the lawful bonds of said Stato to tho full amount of tho government notes demanded, and such bonds shall be taxable at the rate of one per oent. per annum, said tax to bo covered Into tho treasury on or be fore April 1 of each year by the proper State authorities, said bonds to fall due at the expiration of twonty years from tholr date. Tho States are to bo given tho right at any time boforo said bonds shall fall due to redeem them iu whole or part. Representative Talbert claims that his plan Is reasonable and will Increase the currency to a beneficial oxtent. He admit? it is on the lino of the sub troasury scheme, but he also claims that a similar plan was proposed by Abraham Lincoln. Tho State officers will be required to satisfy tho United States authorities that the securities they offer for tho notes are good, and tho Stato officers may accept corn, rico, cotton or any othor product to secure the loan made to tho farmer. It Is understood that a number of other schemes on the samo line are to bo introduced during tho present Con gress. The People at the World's Fair. Tho editor of tho Southern Presby terian, who was along with the South Curoilna Press Association upon the recent excursion to Chicago, makes the following comment in regard to tho people and tholr excellent behavior : One of the sights of greatest interest has been tho crowd itself. It is not possible to bring together so groat a multitudo, except in some placo thus fitted to receive and display it. It was a throughly good-nutured, well-behaved, pleasant assemblage of plain Ameri cans. By far the greater part was mado up evidently of people in tho middle walks of life, worklngmen and women, substantial farmers, merchants, teach ers, young pooplo of both sexes. Some times the mass would bo so donso In certain places that motion was almost Impossible. Yet there wus no rudonoss, no seliish crowding, no bad temper dis played, but a manifest determination to respect each others' rights and privileges. There was a kind of free dom and good folllowBhip about tho crowd that made it possiblo to ask for Information from almost any one; and while there must bo suspicious char acters in so great a throng, their presence was not obvious from any overt act. It certainly was something to mako every American citizen hepeful for his country, to see tho people taking holi day In this fashion and to recognizo tho mingling of solf-rospect with re gard for others which prevented bolst terousness or rudeness of any kind. And of all tho patient, prompt, good natured mon wo have over soon tho " Columbian guards " aro pre-emlnont. Beset by a constant, stream of pooplo, besieged with questions of every kind often bothered about irrelevant mat ters, they wore always polite, always ready to give information, and their prosonco was a guarantee of help to any lady who might bo bowildorod in tho throng or temporarily seporated from frionds. And how easy it was to drift away in that surging multitude ! Wo havo stood on a vossol's deck and watched somo object tossed Into tho sea, caught up and oust to and fro, now lost to sight In a hollow, now thrown up again on tho crest of a wave, until finally it has faded from vision amid tho rolling billows. But sometimes it was only neccessary to fall behind your frionds a fow pacos, thon to look up and find them gono ! Now you could catch a glimpse of them, but ovon as you tried to reach thorn, another surging muss of Immunity streamed past you, arrested your progress, and separated you from them for tho rest of the day. One could reallzo his own littleness and comparative uniuiportancd under such cirou instances. storm DamaqedCorn.?Tho recent disastrous storms of wind and rain have left many thousand acros of corn in York county in a procarious condi tion. The blades being' torn Into shreds, aro unfit to pull und cure for foddor, and tho ears aro rondored much more liable to damago by wot weather or floods. My advlco is to cut this corn and shock it in tho highest places on low lands, in shocks containing about a hundred stalkB each. Tlo tho shocks noar the top with twine or othor suit able material, drawn tightly, so as to exclude the rain. Let tho corn stand In this condition fifteen or twonty duys, or longor if necessary; thon drivo tho wagon alongside thoBnooks, untie them and shuck tho corn, leaving tho shucks on the stalks. Then replaco tho stalks in tho shocks and tie thorn as boforo. Allow the stalks to remain in the shocks until tho butts of the stalks are dry *, when thoy sholud be haulod and put under shelter; or If you havo not the barn room, thoy may bo rackod convenient to the barn. Thoso stalks, if run through a cutter, wiil furnish a large amount of forago for wintering stock, and if tho parts not eaten are thrown in tho stalls for lit ter, you will find your supply of manure largely lnoreasod; and, booidos, the out stalks are an excellent absorbent of tho liquids, whioh are the most valua ble part of tho manure. No where else except in the land of cotton aro com hiiidcs nulled from the stalks for forage but the entire stalk is utilized as above dosorlbed.?Yorkville En qulrar>^^^feg^|?^g AS A CLEANSER of the blood, nothing ? weeps as olten as Dr. Pieroe's Golden Medical Die* coYery.

The following is tho weather crop report for tho wook ondlng Sept. 4 : The past week has but more fully de veloped the ravages of the fearful storm of August 27th and 28th, which, passing ovor tho entire State, left a record of such devastation as has never before boon witnessed In this State, and which is without a parallel in tho history of this country. Many hundreds of acres white tho day before with open Cotton, are shorn of the work of months, tho plant lying flat on the ground twisted and broken, tho unmaturod fruit scattered and rot ting. Tho islands along tho coast, tho pride and glory of that section, from which thousands of bales aro gathered each year, are ulmost destitute o.? their accustomed fruitage. Young corn, from which so much was expected on account of tho small ness of tho old erop, lies flat and brok en. Along the river banks and bottom lands froshots havo coverod or washed away the patient labor of our best citizens. Fruit trees aro stripped of their fall crops. Fences, houses and hundreds of acres of pine forests aro ruined ; herds of valuable stock and hundreds of human lives are tho portion of the Storm King's harvest. Not a section escaped, from Oconoo county in tho west to Horry on tho coast; from York in tho north to the most southern part of Beaufort. Peas and sweet potatoes aro tho only crops not damaged. Some sections will havo a partial recovery from the effects of tho storm and crops there will regain their strength, but will probably show a smaller yield than is now expected. Great care will havo to be exorcised in selecting seed cotton for next year's crop to prevont Immature and damag ed seed from being used. J. H. Harmon, Director. Central Ofhco, Columbia, S. C.

It j .purities the blood as well as en riches it. The truth is, an em ulsion of Cod liver oil is good for building up fat? no doubt about it. But? ugh I a weak stomach loathes it. Fortunately, there's a tissue builder, that's even better for making healthy flesh. Pleasant in taste?effect ive in result. That's the "Dis covery." It goes to work in the right way, by regulating, cleansing, and repairing all the organs of the body. When the germs of disease arc round about us we do not all get them. Why? Some of us arc in too good a condition. The germa of Consumption, Grippe, Malaria, and all the infectious diseases, pass you by if you are strong to resist their attaok.

The following is tho weather crop report for tho wook ondlng Sept. 4 : The past week has but more fully de veloped the ravages of the fearful storm of August 27th and 28th, which, passing ovor tho entire State, left a record of such devastation as has never before boon witnessed In this State, and which is without a parallel in tho history of this country. Many hundreds of acres white tho day before with open Cotton, are shorn of the work of months, tho plant lying flat on the ground twisted and broken, tho unmaturod fruit scattered and rot ting. Tho islands along tho coast, tho pride and glory of that section, from which thousands of bales aro gathered each year, are ulmost destitute o.? their accustomed fruitage. Young corn, from which so much was expected on account of tho small ness of tho old erop, lies flat and brok en. Along the river banks and bottom lands froshots havo coverod or washed away the patient labor of our best citizens. Fruit trees aro stripped of their fall crops. Fences, houses and hundreds of acres of pine forests aro ruined ; herds of valuable stock and hundreds of human lives are tho portion of the Storm King's harvest. Not a section escaped, from Oconoo county in tho west to Horry on tho coast; from York in tho north to the most southern part of Beaufort. Peas and sweet potatoes aro tho only crops not damaged. Some sections will havo a partial recovery from the effects of tho storm and crops there will regain their strength, but will probably show a smaller yield than is now expected. Great care will havo to be exorcised in selecting seed cotton for next year's crop to prevont Immature and damag ed seed from being used. J. H. Harmon, Director. Central Ofhco, Columbia, S. C.

Woir Mitchell, tho colubratcd specia list in nervous diseases. Tho physician recognized in his pationt an old school mate whom ho had not soon for thirty years. An exchange of reminiscences and a professional eonsulation ensued, followed by a dozen 'ofllco consnlta t ions' on tho ailment of tho merchant. In duo time ho received a bill from tho famous physician for $300. " I see you aro doing well," said tho merchant to tho physician. "Yes," returned the doctor, "but it required thirty years' experience to reach this point." A yoarlator the physician was build ing a now house, and it was wainscoted in English muple. Ho did not at once find tho wood ho desired for his beau tiful dining room, and remembering tho lumber merchant, he drove to his olllco. Tho desired maple was found there, ordered and delivered, and in thocourso of time a bill came. It was for $300. " I thought," demurred the surprised physician to his schoolmate, " that maple was not expensive." " It is not," returnod the merchant, "usually. It hat- taken thirty yours' exporionco to reach tho point of charg ing $300 for it." Carpenter Bros., Druggists, recom mend Johnson's Oriental Soap for all ?kin and scalp diseases. Try it. E.

Theological. Pleasantry.?V. K. Van Tassel, a local missionary in Ulster, contributes to the Kingston Freeman an article from which wo take the following; story : As I passed through Hasbrock I saw a church in an unfinished condition, and inquired what church it was. I learned that it was Mr. Hamilton's. This leads ino to sneak of this second Robert Colfyer, a blacksmith and a preacher. One day a minister of the Methodist Episcopal denomination cutne to huvo his horse shod by Mr. Hamilton. Knowing his Baptist proclivities, he thought to joke him. Said he, "Is this a Baptist shop?" " It is, sir,"said Mr. Hamilton. " Well, I want Methodist shoes put on my horse." "All right, sir." The sturdy blacksmith, with a smile, went to work, turned, calked and fitted tho shoes, then laid thorn down and wait ed, saying, "Will take thoiu sometime to cool, sir; you will have to wait a lit tle." "Why don't you dip them into tho tub?" said tho* Methodist man. "Oh, that would make them Baptist shoos, sir !" said Mr. Hamilton. Tho joke had gono far enough by this time, and tho Methodist brother replied, "Oh, well, dip thorn anyway: I am in a hurry." So tho Methodist horse wore Baptist shoos one time, and was no worse for it. She Didn't.?Mr. Martin wus talk ing at the dinner table, about tho in consistency of woman.

Ho paused, and evi dently hoped that Mrs. Martin would come to tho rescue of her sex : but that discreet woman hold her tongue. "Why, Mary," ho continued, "you re member how it was with yourself. 1 havo hoard you more than once say that you wouldn't marry tho best* man alive." "Woll, I didn't," said Mrs. Martin.
