"GOING TO MILL." (By R. O. H.) People don't go to mill now like they did when I was a boy. We used to ride horseback on a big sack across 1 the horse'sback. Some times the sack would fall off and as there was no stock law in those days we were afraid to leave our "turn" of corn or wheat, as the case might be, to get assistance. So one was in a bad fix if alone, which was nearly always the case. 1 recollect once of lettiug my "turn" fall off when a small "mill boy". I was riding a jennet horse, (a small Spanish nag?. I concluded to try and get the bag back on my horse by my self ("letting two rails from a near by fence I placed one end of them on the back of the nag. resting the other ends on the ground. Then l com menced to roll the sack up the rails and was making fine headway when ?the horse suddenly stepped "from un der" nnd down came rails, "turn" and all. I tried this plan again two or three times with the same result. So I derided to ride on to the mill hoping to rind some one there besides the miller that could come over and give me a lift". As it happened the old inlib ? was alone and I dreaded to ask him. for I had learned from past ex periences that he would "rare and scold". He was a large negro and was kind enough to mill boys so long as they did what he thought was right. We knew and called him "Cncle Sam". When l told him of my unhappy plight and asked him to come and help me. he ha l one of his "spells", but after storming a good while about folks sending babies to mill he wanted to know "where in de Debil" I had dropped my "tarn". I told hlni and he came out and went with me. He fore we returned to the mill he was again in a goo 1 humor. Nowadays we hare lo go to mi. in n wagon or buggy and carry our grain la barrels or guano or corn sacks. The old white mill bags are a thing of the past. I went to mill the other day in the wagon: started about sun up. My destination was Ynrborough's mill. . a the other side of Bnoree river, it is the grand old time water-mill but It grinds Wheat nil the same and makes good Hour. too. I got 40 pounds of flour to the bushel : it is not as white OS the patent, store bought flour, bul it makes mighty good, whole some bread. Mr. I. H. Holmes is the accommodating miller, and though he was crowded that day he was trying to give every one attention and satis faction. I enjoyed the trip. It made me think of what my old friend. E. Y. Mc Qii?wn, better known as "Slocttm Cil .son", used to say. that it made him "feel old to go to mill". My little trip above related, also af forded the opportunity of "taking In" the crops of Messrs. .1. P. and S. R. Sloan, my immediate neighbors, who have rn excellent crop; J. S. Cunning ham itenanted by negroes): w. i>. Byrd. who has the finest cotton I have seen; Charles I'ully. tine peas and cotton; the farms of .1. W. Donnnn and vl.

Phough only nineteen years old, woodcraft has over 600.000 members who are carrying in the same perhaps $10.000.000 of Insurance. The speak er urged the members of this and all ord th to check the defiant an I wide spread sentiment of lawlessness In the land resulting in the average an nual deal!) by violent hands of about 10,000 mi'ii and over 200 in South Car olina with only about l.aOO.OOO pop ulation. Thus in pence in the 1'nited States as many men die bloody and violent deaths as have died in many a word renowned battle changing the whole course of history. This spirit of anarchy and disrespect for consti tuted authority and seeking redress from imaginary grievances is a great j er danger to American institutions than the nemo problem, tariff revis ion or the con tile I between labor and capital. McDuffie Hamilton Stone, bearing the Inspiration of a great name, dared go and stay where duty called and danger was, and fell at bis post, a martyr to law, order, and peace, a vic tim of disregard for the safety and stability of property, life and liberty, lb' was truly a hero, anil all men stand in loving but nweflll respect for manhood and heroism, however manifested. While it i.- glorious to die tor one's country in battle, while a striking example of courage and fi delity to duty in the presence of phys ical violence arouses our admiration, we aoist also s.'." our duty and Insisl upon its performance i:i protecting and enforcing right and safely tinder any ami all circumstances, both great and -mall.
