It is rumored that the Laurens train will in a few days make the trip thrt. - to Columbia and return to Laurens tue same day instead of stopping here all day. This arrangement will give us two daily trains from Columbia going down early in the morning and return ing late in the evening. We think it would pay the railroad to do this, and hope they will. The sociable-at the resideoce of Mrs. L. C. Hunter on Tuesday night was a very enjoyable affair. All seemed to enjoy themselves, and "eyes spoke love to eyes that spoke again" until the ap proach of the wee small hours of the morn, when the happy pai ty retired to their homes. Refreshments were served by Mrs. Hunter in royal style. The girls were all lovely and the young men all gallant.

The First Bale-The St. Luke's Far mers' Picnic. Speeches, Dinner, Music, Love and Beauty of St. Luke's. Miss Dosia Werts and John Johnson, of Johnston, have been spending some time here. We regret that our friend and fellow salesman, J. B. Boinest, is seriously ill with typhoid fever. The warehouses spoken of last week have been rased to the ground, and it is hoped the railroad company will not delay eretting a platform. Ira B. Jones, E=q., formerly of this place but now of Lancaster, spent Sat urday and Sunday in town. We were truly glad to see Ira once again. It is now a fixed fact that the cotton crop is seriously injured by the contin ued rains-the extent of the injury now indicated reaches from 25 to 33 per cent. The patrons of St. Luke's Academy have elected the following Board of Trustees, viz: D. L. Ham, J. M. Tay lor, John Dominick, D. S. Conwill and J. S. Nichols. They have not elected a teacher. We were glad to see the familiar face of D. H. Witherspoon on our streets once again. Mr. W. was formerly con nected with the Temperance Standard published at this place. Now he is ed itor and proprietor of the Clarendon Enteiprise. The first bale of new cotton was sold here yesterday (Tuesday) by Rev. J. A. Sligh to Wheeler & Moseley, at 8 1-2 cents per lb. Grade, good ordinary weight, 426. In a few hours afterwards Cook Bros. sold one to the same parties at same price ; grade, low middling weight, 500 pounds. Last week the Prosperity Press and Reporter announced that the business relations of Mr. A. M. Lester were of such a character that he could not ac cept the position of town clerk to which he had been elected. This week Mr. Lester assumed the duties of said office. "Nothing strange happens in times of war." On last Thursday the 18th inst., we attended the annual picnic of St. Luke's farmers' club. On our arrival upon the grounds we found that considerable preparation had been made. Seats of i,icely sawed lumber were provided, and a speaker's stand had also been erected. Around the speaker's stand were clustered a number of specimens of different varieties of cotton stalks, large and well developed ears of corn were suspended from bars, as was also several varieties of grasses. A monster beet also was placed in a prominent po sition on the speaker's stand. It was indeed real amusing at times to see some of the farmers examining the different specimens, and then hear them exclaim, "Oh, I could beat that stalk of cotton," and "I have got a heap bigger 'years' of corn thai any of them!" "Well, where are they?" enquires one. "Oh, I left them at home, I didn't know you were going to show such things." Gentle men, we would suggest that another time you bring them. Even in your club meetings and exhibit and compari son of specimens, it seems to as, would be beneficial. By 11 o'clock several hundred persons had gathered, the beauty and youth of St. Luke's predominating, and J. Y. Culbreath, Esq., Newberry's "farmer lawyer," took the stand, and for 35 minutes he h'ad the strict attention of his audience. We can only give a very short synopsis of the speeches. The speaker first laid down the proposition, that the resources of our country must be developed by native white labor, and not by negro labor. He compared the status of the Stoney Hill section where there is dense white population, and where white laborgreatly predominates, with the no: thern section of the county where the whites are sparsely settled, and where nearly all the farming opera tions are performed by negro labor. He showed conclusively that where white labor wa largely in the ascen -dency the value of real estate was great ly enhanced, and that. there was a cor Sresponding demand, even at exorbitant prices. Fertility of soil, ease of cultiva tion, and nearness of markets were com pared, and the fact was demonstrated that it was useless for our young men to go west. The speaker next discussed the advan Stages arising from the building and es tablishing an agricultural college in the State. He hopefully looked forward to the time when the farmers' sons of New berry County would be enabled, by ana lytical process, to resolve the soil and its products into their respective component Sparts, thereby enabling them to ascer tain? the wants and needs of both plants and soil. 4 The speaker next discussed with much warmth intensive fa-m.ing, showing that the basis of farming before the war was a false one, one that did ,, ot save and improve the country, but ruined it, that old modes and plans were rapidly pass ing away, that new ones were being suc cessfully employed, that the emancipa Stion of the negro was a blessing in dis guise for the salvation of our country. SHe advocated and urged the importance fof the farmers' clubs, that these clubs are the corner stone of the farmers' 1prosperity, that it is in these clubs that different opinions and experiences are ecompared, and new ideas and systems are formulated, that one mind does not know it all, but that in a combination of minds many new ideas and plans origin - ate. The next speaker introduced was New oberry's lawyer editor, E. H. Aull, Esq. dMr. Aull, in the beginning, laid down this proposition : That agriculture is the ground work on which are founded all rother callings and vocations of men, and the secret of success depends entirely on eis ist great cause : when agriculture iinafiourishing and healthy condition Iall other pursuits correspondingly im eproved. -An impoverished yeomanry impoverishes every other class of man kind. Mr. Aull then toook up the sub rject of the agricultural college, and for esome time discussed the question with fmuch animation and warmth from a negative standpoint. The speaker rwished it distinctly understood that he Iis not opposed to an agricultural college if the people really want it and are ready for it. This latter point he doibt eandn proe ede to how the other side of the question. He argued that the people might not bu ready when shown what an increase of taxation would f low from the erection of such an in-ti- Ii; tution. when the eorre.sponding benefits woutld be to onily a fe w. IIe argtud thait 1. an institution of this kind would ot th not less than $300,000 dollars, and could bu not benefit more than two or three, or ()f perhaps half dozen boys from each town ship, that if this $300,000 were used in in increasing the efficiency of our common w schools, we would have a first class mn school in every community, where, nat only our boys, but our daughters too, in= could be fairly educated. The agricul- la tural college only proposes to educate lie our boys, and only a snall percentage m< of them: The speaker argued that when the people were made acquainted with sc all the facts in the case, that they might in not be ready for this institution. He felt it to be his duty to lay all the facts pa before the people, and then if they were ready, he was ready to work with them, att he favored institutions of learning of Li whatsoever kind, they are all important th; factors in building up and developing ho the numerous resources of our great, we grand old country, and they who failed ca in this great work when the people are en ready, were traitors to the best interests of our country. The speaker next pre- a sented some of the benefits that would re grow out of the establishment of an ex perimental station in every county in wl the State if such a project was at all be feasible. In conclusion he paid a glow- pa ing tr'bute to the farmers' club at St. ou Luke's, and to the whole- people of that sei section of country. Th Mr. J. C. Goggans next took the stand, and in a few well chosen remarks, advo- we cated the establishment of an agricultu- do ral college, and appealed to the clubs to al remain well organized and to continue ne the good work. kn Mr. R. T. C. Hunter, chairman of the go meeting, was loudly called for, and in a few well timed observations advocated in the agricultural college, and then an- ou nounced dinner, to which everybody was th invited and all consented. The sociable feature of the dinner was tlh just such as the good people of St. Luke's tlh are always foremost in. There was no es] selfishness exhibited by small groups eating here and there promiscuously, an but every lady had her basket taken to we the same place, cloths were spread along do in a row and the contents of the baskets co emptied on the cloths, and the contents -they were such as might tempt gods, ne much less epicureans. It seemed that is the ladies vied with each other in trying to have the biggest basket, and the most aE and the best good things in it. The Ve large crowd was not only fed, but was well fed. After dinner was served the tel crowd again repaired to the speaker's br stand, and was entertained for about wa twenty minutes by Harry II. Blease, pr Esq, avith an interesting speech. He the argued in favor of the agricultural col- m lege, and white supremacy first, last and cv always. - p Next came a very interesting feature Mi of the farmers' club-the opening of the Ti question box. This is a small wooden ni box, in which any one wishing i:nfor- hii nmation on any subject connected with ret farming places -his question. At the proper time the chairman, Mr. R. T. C. Fr Hunter, opened the box, announced the. re question, and appointed some one in the audience to open the discussion. ur 1st. Query: ~'Is it right to rent a house to a colored mlan who has no em ployment?'' This question was atn- au swered by quite a number of persons in se the negative-by no one in the aflirma tive. se 2nd Query : "What is the prospect, in in this country, for a young man of moder- w' ate means ?" This quest ion provoked quite an animated discussioni. The at weight of the arguments seemed to favor w the idea that it was useless for a young man who inten ded to follow agricultural ursuits for a livelihood, to g.> West. South Carolina, and Newberry County C offered advantages, which could not be offered beyond the father of waters. 3d Query: "Will subsoiling pay in this country ?" Mr. 'J. C. Goggans answered this question in a very lucid manner, from experience, t.egatively. 4th Query: "Does it pay to turn stub- ci ble in the fall while the litter (vegeta- gi tion) is green?" Mr. G. F. Long in a plain and practical manner, from ex-- at perience, answered the question in the ~ negative. This concluded the exercises of the club, and all then repaired to the el church, wvhere we were treated to some a very rich soul-inspiring strains of vocal ti music by Prof. Counts' singing class. cc Thus ended one of the most enjoyable, E and edifying days, that it has been our pleasure to spend in a long while. It t( was a day that will be long remembered, et atnd we can only wish that such days St would come frequently. We love to go lf to St. Luke's. YUBE.T SI Death of J. Bachman Bolnest.
