The Farmer's Encampment at Spartanburg last week is reported as a very successful meeting for the first gathering of farmers. There was a good attendance, and no doubt more would have attended had the weather been more favorable; and practical questions pertaining to the interests of the farmer were discussed, and we have little doubt that all who at tended were greatly benefitted. The exhibits we are told were not very extensive, but this could not be expected at the first attempt in this direction. The farmers should take an interest in this sort of thing for in a gathering of practical farmers each one cannot help but be more or less benefitted by an interchange of ideas, experiences and results. We are glad to note that several farmers from Newberry County at tended and we are sure more would have attended had the weather been more favorable. TKi'. E"DGEFIELD LYNCHING .. CASE. i e r the lynching of Cu breath was ha< in Edgefield last week and resulte< in an acquittal. The defense put ul no testimony. One of the position! relied on was a very ingenious one If the Edefendants were guilty, the attorneys for the defense argued that it was better to let them go that to convict them. for by an acquitta peace would be restored in the com munity, but if they were convicted it all probability new strifes would bE aroused and possibly lead to mor( trouble. That this county had al ready been put to enough expens and trouble in this matter and the best way to stop it was to acquit the accused. This we say was one argu ment used with the jury. Well, it does not take long to for get a dead man, it matters not how~ great or how small he is. Lynching is wrong and improper in a civilized country, but when the citizens of a whole community become so out. raged at one of their number as to rise up as one .man and demand his life, whether justly or not, and refuse to wait on the courts, it is true that it is not much worth while going through with the trouble and expense of a trial, because the people have de manded the life of the man who was lynched and the people are not going to convict those who did it. TUE FAR]IER'S IOVEMIENT. It may be late in the day to ask it, but as everybody else knows, possi. bly we will have no trouble in find. ing out what we desire to know. We would like for some one who knows, to tell us plainly and briefly what is meant by the Farmer's Movement in South Carolina. We hear of "Moses'' and of "Joshua" and of "this move ment" and "this cause," and we de sire to know exactly what is in tended by the movement, because we are enable to say whether we advo cate the Farmer's movement or not. We are in favor of anything that will benefit the farmer but we want to know whether, in our opinion, "this movement" will benefit the farmer, and in order to decide this question we must know what it is. Possibly our ignorance is inexcusa * ble, but we do not know and desire to find out and hence put the ques-. tion. Is the sole object of the Farm er's movement the establishment of an Agricultural College ? Is it a political movement led by politi cians ? Or is it meant to advance the interests of the tillers of the soil in other directions ? Most that is written now seems to be centered on the establishment of an Agricultural College and by such establishnment it * s claimed the farmers interests will be advanced. We hope somebody who knows will tell us what we do not know about this movement. We are sincere in desiring our questions answered. THE CANAL AND THE STATE'S WATER POWER. We wonder if the State has been spending money digging a canal through tiie lands of private individ uals, and having no available sites of her own upon which to erect factories, and thus utilize the great water power the canal is to afford. Colum bia has been talking of building a cotton mill, and it is said will build it, but when an effort is made to secure a site and obtain power from' the canal to <trive the mill it is found that such an enormous price is asked for the site that it is thought cheaper., to secure a site 1lsewhere even if the mill will have . to be run by steam. This. land, too, for which so much is demanded is now growing up in weeds, and we suppose, is owned, by private ibdividuals. We wonder if these parties in search of this site went above Ger vais street bridge to view the avail able sites there. In fact we believe the canal is only finished as far as Gervais street bridge. It seems strange to us that Colum bia, after being so anxious for the completion of the canal, and arguing' the great advantages to accrue to the State from a utilization of the water power to be afforded by the canal, should determine it was cheaper to build their cotton mill on a site other than on the banks of this canal. If real estate is booming- in this way along the banks of this stream so as to make it impracticable to build factories on it, what benefit can it ever be to the State? Or has the State any sites of its own upon which to erect factories so as to utilize this vast water power? These are mat ters that should be considered by our legislators before any more money is spent on the canal. What does it mean anyhow? The factory or cotton mill is to be built but not to be run by water power from the canal. We cannot understand the use of the canal to the State if other power is cheaper in Columbia for running factories and cotton mills. REAL ESTATE ALONG THE CANAL. How Will or Can the State Ut+.ize Her Water Power? oeczal to Augusta Chronicle. CoL , S. C., August . - . ecall Mi-tegprominent stock proposed cotton mill t< be established in this city, to i Chronicle reporter this morning. "Why, what is it? Is anything i turning up in that connection ?' > querried the scribe. "Yes-that is down on the canal You know," said he, "it was pro posed to build our proposed cottor factory on the canal and operate il by steam until the canal could be im proved so as to furnish us the watei power for the purpose. We haN therefore been casting about for at eligible site on the canal, but when -all the owners of such propert3 along the canal have gone to asking all kinds of high prices for sites had in view." "What figures are demanded?" "Well, I can't tell that but you can say, land that is now and foi several years past has produced noth ing but a crop of weeds, is held at such figures that it will be a serious matter for the stockholders or direc tors of the mills to consider the se. lection of another available site else where in the city. So you see what a cotton mill is already doing for Columbia." "What is the prospect for the mille at present," the reporter wanted to know? "Splendid ! splendid. Oh, we will have the factory, to be sure." THE MUtRRAY PRORfIBITION Judge Wallace Refuses. to Grant ars Injunction Arsked for by Lauren. Liquor 3Ien. Special to the Register. EDGEFIELD, August 6.-Lewis W. Simpkins, Esq., of the Laurens Bar made an argument before Judge Wal lace to-day in behalf of Max Zarek for an injunction to restrain further action in the election proceedings about to be had in Anderson and Laurens Counties under what is known as the "Murray bill" on the question of prohibition. Judge Wallace refused to grant the in junction, on the ground of want of jurisdiction in the premises. A Big Sale in Pineland. PITTsBVR, August 8.-A syndi cate of New York and Pittsburg capitalists have just closed a trans action by which they become owners of nearly one hundred thousand acres of the finest pine forests in theSouth. The lands are along the Northern line of South Carolina and Georgia, mo:t of it being in the latter State. The price paid was $7,000,000, in cash. The deal was made through a prominent real estate firm in this city. The intention of the purchas ers is not to develop the lands, but to hold them as an investment until the advance in price of lumber great ly increases their value.* The JCoumbia Seminary. CoLU~sB1A, August 6.-The Rev. Dr. C. C. Hersman, of Fulton, Mo., who was recently elected to the professor ship of biblical literature in the Presby terian Theological Seminary of this city, arrived in Columbia last night accom panied by his family and Miss Gavon, of Missouri. The insti ution referred to above will begin its exercises about the 17th :of September, and already the prospects for a successful time are most flattering. Drawina the Color Line in a Factory. NASHVILLE, Ten n., August 3.-A disturbance was created yesterday at the establishment of the Capitol Can ning Company by the action of Mr. Chas. Q. Page, the general manager. The company have employed thirty white women at 50 cents per day. Yes terday Mr.: Page increased the working force by the addition of nine negro men at $1 each per day and lifteen negro women at 75 eents. Six of the white women struck, and it is said the other twenty-four will strike this morning. Both races and sexes are required to work together. Tossed by a.Bull. Undon Tines. Mr. Macbeth Young came very near being killed by a young bull in his father's yard a few days ago. The ai mal toesed him in the air upon his hox ns, and would have gored him as he fell, but Mr. Young actively seaped, and, seizing a heavy brick, struck him on the head, stunning the animal long enough to permit him to get out of the enraged brute's reach. It was a narrow escape, und Miac. is limping on the streets from -he in-inries he received. THE RICE CROP DESTROYED. Sudden Rise in the Savannah-Dam age Estimated at $400,000. ,Special to the -ewes and Courier. SAVANNAH, August S.-This after noon the rise in the Savannah was rapid and disastrous. The plantations of rice, which gave magnificent prospects up to to-day, now promise to be entirely ruined, as far as this year's ' -op is con cerned. Nearly 9,000 acres will be flooded. en* iiling a loss of over $100, 000 to the crops alone. The Ogechee plantations will proba bly escape uninjured, so will the Satilla rice fields, but the Altamaha planta tions that are not well banked will be heavily dau:aged. The Savannah River planters expect a total loss, except Rutledge, and Mills, and Taylor, and perhaps Thomas Screven. No lives are reported lost. The Charleston bridge was just a foot out of water at 6 o'clock this afternoon. Verenzebee freshet bank is broken brdly and the rice is fast being drowned with water. The plantations of Gurard, Heyward, Taylor, Clay, Huger, King, Izzard, Manigault, Lewis Haskell, W. Barnwell, John Screven, the estates of Gibbons and Potter, and Van Winkler will, it is feared, lose their entire year's crop. Dr. Pope's Withdrawal .!om PoItcs. Lancaster Reriew. We learn from the Newberry papers that Dr. Sampson Pope, a member of the Legislature from that county, will "go out of politics" when his present term expires, in order to devote his whole time to the practice of his profes sion. Dr. Pope's withdrawal from the legislative halls will prove no inconsid erable loss to the State. Fearless and strong iii advocacy of all measures which have for their object the promotion of the best interests of the Commonwealth and equally as ready and bold in oppos ing and denouncing every bill or scheme looking to a raid on the treasury or an increase of taxatan, he is the recog nized leader of the economists of the House, and ranks second to none as an "all-round" legislator. Nothing ever escapes Dr. Pope's watchful eye, whether of local n ral importance. Havi b ir and being of his brot" .' and at times an impre: eee speaker, the doctor never fails t have at least a strong following when ever he takes a stand upon any publi - question, whether be succeed: in carr3 ing his point or not.

COLUMBIA, August 3.-A reprsenta tive of Greenville city and county cam< to Columbia yesterday for the purpost of having a conference with Col. R1. A Johnson, general manager of the Thre4 C's, to ascertain whether the Charleston Cincinnati and Chicago Railroad Coin pany would consider certain proposi tions which Greenville desired to make The general manager listened to th( propositions but would not commit him' self. It is understood that Greeiville desires a connection with the Three C's. To ob. tain this it is proposed by some of thi leading men of Greenville that the Au gusta divison of'.the Three C's shall run from Augusta to Newberry, from Ne w berry to Greenville and from Green. ville to Rutherfordton, N. C., where it will connect with the main line. Tlh route would, of course, leave out Union and the section of country between Union and Gafi'ney City. It is said that the manufacturing industries of Green. ville wish coal from the region through which the Three C's will pass, and that Greenville considers the Three C's con nection of more importance than any other connection she can make. Green yille County, it is said, is willing to sub scribe $300,000 towards this road. If this road should be directed in the man ner described above it would doubtless be a great thing for Greenville. Union would of course be sorely disappointed if she lost this valuable connec'.ion. Death of Joseph II. Rainicy . Georgetown En qu irer. Ex-Congressmnan Joseph HI. Rainey, died at his residence on Monday night of congestive fever, after an illness of only five days' duration. HIe leaves a widow and three or four children. The deceased was one of the most intelligent an d prominent representatives of the col ored race in the State. He represented this district in Congress for twvo terms soon after the war, and was finally de feated by Hon. John S. Richardson. lHe was a conservative citizen, a man of quiet and dignitied manners and prepos sessing appearance. Though the period during which he served in Congress wa an era of extraordinary corruption in public affairs, no rep)roach has ever at? tached to his character or conduct in po litical or other matters.

WINCHIESTER, XA., August 8 The remains or the widow of the late Col. Benj. Edward Stiles. of Savan na, Ga., were brought here to-day and buried in the same grave with that of her husband, in accordance with a request made before her death.

Longstreet's corps, at Guard Hill, near Front Royal, on August 16, 1864. This was the first burial of a woman ever made in Stonewall Cemetery. 1* A FA3IILY EXTERMINATOR. Eclipsing the record of Jones, of Edge field-A V.4olesale Murder near Macon. MA coc, GA., August G.-Information ha. j'.st been received of a most horrible tragedy occurring last night about t twelve miles from here in this county. The report says that Capt. Riehard Woolfolk, a weli-known farmer, his wife. four children and Mrs. West, an aunt of t 'Mrs. Woolfolk, were found murdered in I the house this morning, having been 1 knocked in the head and their throats cuit. Tom G. Woolfolk, a son of Capt. Woolfolk by his first wife, is suspected of the crine and was arrested. A dep uty sheriif and the coroner went out to t the scene of the murder. Owing to the distance from the city, full particulars cannot be had just now. FURTHER DETAILS OF THE ,BUTCHERY. MACON, GA., August G.-Midnight.- 1 Later and fuller details from the scene of the tragedy develop the fact that there were nine victims instead of seven. as at first reported. Capt. and Mrs. R. F. Woolfolk, their six children, ranging in ages fror.. IS months to 20 years, and Mrs. West, an aunt of Mrs. Woolfolk, aged SO. The coroner's jury found a verdict of murder against Thos. G. Woolfolk, a son of the captain's first wife, who; was sleeping in the house. His statement was that sometime before daybreak he was aroused by groansand the sound of blows proceeded from; his parent's room. His half brother Rich ard ran into the room which adjoins his, and thinking that murder was being committed he (Thomas) jumped from the t window in his night clothes and bare feet and ran to the house of a negro three or foor hundred yards distant to get them to arouse the neighborhood. le says he was afraid to return, fearing that he himself would be murdered, but went back after half an hour. No help had arrived and he went in to see if the family had been murdered. He found them all dead. He stepped in a pool of blood in passing and left the footpr'nts on the floor. He found his step mother lying so th it her head was on the floor and her body on the bed. He raised her up and placed her on the bed. He changed his clo.hin- . a this time t crowd had.- .:rrive(d and soon after he wau taken into custody. e The evidence before the jury was cir. cumstantial throughout.

Susong, Benet and President -Sibley met yesterday and another pro. p)ositionl was made by Messrs. Susonig and others to the Georgia Construction Comzparty, on which they will act at a meeting to be called for the 15th. It is proposed that.Sevier County and Knox viile will give $250,001, Greenville, S C., $200,000, and the North Carolina coun sies $20J0,000, andl the Greenville, Atlan tic & Western will furnishm one hundred and fifteen miles of road, now graded from Augusta to Greenville. Mr. Susong said the line from Augusta to Knoxville, which is two hunidred and sixty-five miles, was sure to be built. The road from Augusta to Greenville is graded the entire distance with the exception of about ten miles. The Construction Company will de cide whether they will undertake the construction an d equipment of this road. "One fact, however, you can safely stag," said 3Mr. Susong, "tla th eAt lantic, Greenville and Western will be finished inside of the next ten months, and I feel satisfied that you can put the short line to Knoxville dowr as a Cer tainty." A NORTH CAIROLINA SUBSCRIPTION. Greenvilie Netes, 7th. In a business lette~r received here yes terday, fromn a prominent citizen of Knoxville, it was stated that the County Court~ of Sevier County, through which the line of the Carolina, Knoxville and Western road runs, has taken steps toward putting the question of a subscrip tion to the road before the people. The county will be asked to vote $75.000 to build theiline through its territory. The Knoxville gentlemen, who have been instrumentel in securing the election, are confident that the county will en dorse the subscription. A DISGRACEFUL SCENE. A Fi 2e ExhibiGon by aI Whlte 3I1en and Ils Mulatto Bride. Augusta Gazette. A most disgraceful and repulsive drama was eniactedl yesterday in the broad (daylighit, and on Broad street, be fore the eyes of the world. It was just 12 o'clock when a one horse farmer's wagon drove up and stopped on Broad street betwveeni Jackson and Campbell. In the wagon was a white man of about twenty-live and a mulatto girl seemingly of ab)out eighteen. For fifteen minutes the scene was one to make all the blood boil in a mnan's veins. Tlhe woman threw her arms around the neck of her com panion and showered kiss after kiss upon01 his sunburnt cheeks. She gave hug afte!r hug. and all the while her "Soft eyes look'd love to eyes which spoke love again ; And all we::t merry as a marriage bell." He returned her caresses with a touch as ocft as any woman's and smiledl con tinuously. Meanwhile a crowvd of per haps se'venty-five spectators had gath ered arond(, but the couple w-re igno rant of the fact. Basking in the heav(. of each other's smiles they reveled in obivion. But this could not last al ways, and the dusky maiden's "ducky dove"' descendited and wvent a-shopping. A reporter seized his opportunity and went for the wagon. They were from Warren ';ounty, lhe 'learned, and had been married live months. A negro p)reacher by the niame of Davis had mar rid thenm. The bride remarked that sheu loved her husband "mighty hard."

August 8.--Midnight.- articl pecial: Augusta was visited to light by another deluge of rain, last ng three hours. It was probably the Nort icaviest rainfall of this season here the 3 tnd is reported to be general. The iver continues to rise, and at 11 ii 'clock to-night registers 25 feet 11 by tlt nches. It has been rising steadily from ;ince noon to-day and is now coming in its ip at the rate two inches per hour, imnpe tnd as it takes 31 feet to flood the that ipper portion of the city and is now sumr -ising so slowly, no fears of another wave 'reshet are entertained. same The Swolien Savannah inove AUGUSTA, August 9.-The citizens of Co Augusta were very much excited this foun, norning when the following telegram one was received from Mt. Carmel: dolla Hon. R. H.

M4 With the flood already considerably gu past 30 feet, this information could not . be otherwi-e than almost convincing le that the height of Sunday one week ago in! would be exceeded. But there was no se fear or anxiety evinced at the news, for D people had very quickly after the first freshet realized that but little damage n could b6 done by a repetition. Then it sti was thought that the loss would extend th far into the thousands, but after the waters had receded it was seen that, with the exception of flooded cellars and an a few torn-up streets, the ravages were almost, if not Wholly insignificant. tlh Therefore thoce who resided in low por tions of the city, removed their belong ings to higher floors or to safer places, pr and looked on the approach of the water in a matter-of-fact way-without the slightest show of dread or suspense. THE SITUATION AT MIDNIGHT. AUGUSTA, August 9-31idnight.-The river is still booming f<arfully. At mid night it registers 33 feet 7 inches, just W, one foot below the big flood, and it con- an tinues its upward movement.

'here are many contingencies th ght arise before harvest time, such itinued rain, that runs the pilatt edl and produces rust and rotting fruit; or drouth that can cut oa, I, or worm, et c.
