It be matter of interest to our read know wny S. S. Cox was called Cox. And we suppose the state pt of the World -in regard to the t?er is correct: It may not be generally known, but is nevertheless a fact that ex-Con man Samuel Sullivan Cox, whose h occurred a few days ago, earned sobriquet of "Sunset" by the fol g beautiful piece of word-painting the Statesman, May 19, 1853: "What a stormful sunset was that of last night. How glorious the storm, and how splendid the setting of the sun! -We do not remember ever to have seen the like on our round globe. V1he scene opened in the West with a ivhole horizon full of gold interpene Eating lustre, which colored the foli ge and brightened every object in its n rieh dies. The colors grew deeper richer, until the golden lustre w Ktiansformed into a storm-cloud, full of 'nSt lightning, which leaped in daz F'g4ng zigzags all around and over the d y. The wind arose with fury, the l~ender shrubs and giant trees made 'ieisance to its majesty. Some even Ra,pped before its force. The straw berry beds and grass plots "turned up eir whites" to see Zephyrus march . As the rain came, and the pools ftormed, and the gutters hurried away, nder roared grandly, and the fire bells caught the excitement and ran. 'out with hearty chorus. The South anI :East received the copious showers, and he West all at once brightened up in long, poiished belt of azure, worthy a Sicilian sky. Presently a cloud ed the azure belt, in the form of -- eastellated city. It became more vid, revealing strange forms of peer fanes and alabaster temples, and glories rare and grand in this mundane Ksphere. It reminds us of Wordsworth's splendid verse in his "Excursion": e appearance instantaneously dis closed .Was of a mighty city, boldly say wilderness of building, sinking far %&jd self withdrawn into a wondrous . depth, r snking into splendor without end! :-But the city vanished only to give lace to another isle, where the most tif l forms of foliage appeared, gino a Paradise in the distant and ggnrifiec air. The sun, wearied of the eemental commotion, sank behind the green plains of the west. The "great in heaven," however, went not -dwn without a dark brow hanging ow its departing light. The rich flush o the unearthly light had passed, and e rain had ceased; when the solemn ~curdh bells pealed, the laughter of chlrnout and joyous after the storm, b~eard with the carol .of birds; while hefoirked :and purple weapon .of the kiss1i darted illumiuation around Saicg College, trying to rival its ae nd leap into its dark windows. .~nles are lighted. The piano strikes 7a.We feel that it is good to have a om~ie-good to be on the earth where revelations of beauty and power y be made. And as we cannot re Irain from reminding 'oui>readers of ng arfl in our city, we ~ended our feeble etch ugof a sunset which comes so rarely thtits glory should be committed to a 3mortal type. --.Agreat storm waged nearly all of ~%last week on the Atlantic Coast from N'orfolk to Maine. . Its destruction in Csome instances beggars description. The. hionable summer resorts'on the New Jesyshore su.ffered great loss to their any vessels were in great distress, and some were lost with all on r -T- trm began Tuesday, and did not abate until Saturday. The A:Signal Service sent out notices of warn mhg to Charleston and vicinity on the Qapproach of th-e storm. The old city escaped entirely, as the storm, which lormed in the Cambean Sea, passed far out in the Atlantic. It is fortunate for ~teplanters on the coast, as the rice. Sharvest is at hand, and such a storm Swould have destroyed the best prospect hey have-had in a number of years. The President did not take much of the hide off his man Tanner. It was Tanner, however, who took the hide off the surplus. Can't Newberry have a boom? Some Sof our merchants might get up one on paper-a ten inch advertisement, as it were, in'her two newspapers. If there ireally to be a boom in trade this fall nothing will promote it more than such an experiment. The administration of Harrison is -the only one which in a time of peace has increased the public debt. Mr. Samuel McGowan has retired from the local editorship of the Colum bia Evening Record. Mr. T. J. LaMotte has been appoint .ed assistant secretary of the State Agri ~cultural and Mechanical :departmenit and will make arrangements to receive etisfor the State Fair. The pension iniquity and the increase of the public debt is the Harrisonian .policy at last developed. Newberry does not boast much of her business and still she can -lo so truthfully. There is no town of her1 size in the State that we have heard of in which there are no tenantless houses and ulioecup~ied store-rooms. There is not a residence to be rented, and the demand will necessitate the erection of more dwellings. . Mr. A. E. P. Bedenbaugh for the I past year local editor of the Press and t Reporter has retired from that position.1 Mr. Bedenbaugh is a young man and proved himself an active and energetic1 news gatherer, and we wish him well] in whatever calling he may work. ~"Mr.A. E Gonzales, who has been with the News and Courier for some time as traveling agent and correspondent, has resigned to accept a position as Clerk of the Agricultural department. He is i succeeded by Mr. E. P. McKissick. e A South Carolina Railway engineer was arrested in Blackville on Saturday for running his train into town at too f bigh rate of speed. , L~. -. ABAM MOORE. On the ':irst page of this paper will be found a sketch of Mr. A1,ram Moore, an old resident of this county, who died some two or three months ago. Mr. Moore, at the time of his death, was one of the oldest citizens of this county. Such sketches are valuable additions to the history of the county, and should be read with interest. NEWBERRY AS A COTTON MARKET Our cotemporary mentioned the fact last week- that a bale of cotton had been offered for sale here and after wards taken to Prosperity and sold The same day of the issue of the papel we are reliably informed that the cot ton market here was 30 cents a hun dred above the market at Prosperity. It sometimes happens that the mar ket at one place at certain times may be a little above the market at the other and rice versa. But when the average is made up we think Newberry will be found to be as good a market as Prosperity. We do not see why it should not be. We say this in justice to the buyers at both places. Of course it is to the interest of our farmers to sell where they can obtain the best price and this we would advise them to do. A Letter from Monck's Corner. Friends and readers of The Herald sd . I come to you again, fellow pilgrims uponife' ighway, a vite you to leave the hot and dusty road to loiter in the shade of the live oak which nature has attired in its beautiful grey beard moss, on the estate of Mr. Meree whose banks are watered by the mighty Cooper River, and where fairy flowers are content to rest -upon the banks, and fling to the breezes their fragrance. After a drive of seven miles from Monck's Corner to the cosy and happy home of Mr. P. D. Meree-J arrived safely-and began school the following morning. This is a quiel neighborhood, being the summer home for rice planters-a very pleasant local ity. We went down to Mr. Meree's plan tation last Saturday, and rode through the rice fields ; such a novel sight to us, who have never seen rice growing-thi is the season for cutting, the plant is green, while the seed hang most grace fully in their straw-colored coats ; the rice plants are tall, and water is turned from the majestic Cooper on the rice fields, which remain there until ready to harvest, it is cut while the stalk i green. The rice fields cover a large area, and it reminds one of being out ai sea, as far as eye can reach, water water ; the rice grows so evenly that as the wind passes over it, it waves and waves, then on and on to other waves until it disappears. Any description of rice growing and harvesting should be seen to be appreciated. Then the labor is not all spent on rice growing; for many thousands of pounds of hay, as well as the corn and peas whice he grows, are being stored in his immense barn. We entered his place through a ro mantic drive, passing under arches o live-oaks and water-oaks gracefull3 hung with moss, many colored morn ing glories, and every_where-springing~ up the golden-rod, which should be th< flower of America. We were attractec by the great quantity of field flowers the beauty of which, we never before realized how forcibly one is reminded that flowers are God's undertone of en couragement to the children of earth And as Shakespaare says-"like the pleasures of life." There is a queez flower, called "snake's tongue" which is indigenous to this section, the mnan ifold colored grasses bring to mind the decorations of many Newberry homes. Mr. Meree is an extensive rice planter and his place yields thousands o1 bushels of rice, which he will sell tc any of you by the barrel at six cents per pound the best rice ; the broken rice he will sell cheaper, all who desire to purchase can address him at Monck's Corner. If I have not wearied you, I will write again, after I visit the old Biggan Church and old Monck's Corner. I hope to receive a weekly visit from your paper. M. L. T. THEY WANT THE RAILROAD.

CHICAGO, September 17.-A dispatch from Greenville, Ala., says: The mem bers of the Farmers' Alliance in this portion of the cotton belt of Alabama are aiding to break dcwn the trust, which is being antagonized in every part of the State by the introduction of cotton bagging asa substitute for baling cotton. The latter system is a new one, and the farmers are unable as yet to procure the material on account of the failure of the factories to supply the demand. Increased facilities are beina rapidly adopted for turning it out, anI before long cotton bagging will entirely supplant jute, notwithstanding that a loss of 50 cents or $1 per bale is sus tained by those who use cotton bagg ing. In some sections pine'straw is be ing woven into bagging, which is said to be much superior to jute. It is not inflammable and will protect the cot ton better than any covering yet brought into use. The first section of the railway from Pekin to Chinkiang has progressed as far as having tenders made for its con struction. The sum estimated for rails and plant on this line is $70,000,000.

ACH LINE IS WELL SELECTED, IN J] j patterns, styles and makes, giving you the best chance fora selection of any stock that has ever been shown in the city. This stock is divided into three classes, as follows: Working Suits, Business Suits and Dress Suits. First. My line of Working Suits are especially desirable, by reason of their com fortable fit and sound quality. These clothes, if any, ought to be iwell made, and. I pay special attention to the fact, demanding that the sameshall be made strong and the thread stout. That is the only way to avoid the vex atious ripping of seams, which so often mars the value of an otherwise desirable Working suit. I am offeied the best goods in this line, at the lowest prices that can be made. Do not let these facts escape you, and when you purchase give me the pleasure ofshowlngyou the best and cheapest suit you ever pur chased. Business Suits are a specialty with me. The true conception of a business demands that it shall. be of a quality of goods t ve serviceable and wear usall be so - or s . for conven comfortable and the price low- enough f man not to feel afraid to wear his clothea where there is dust or dirt around, for fear soiling them. Th* styles of t cut in Sacks and ntawa of domestic and bpo r+ goods. This line must be seen to be fieciated. DRESS SUITS. Consist of Double Breasted Frock Suit., Single Breasted Frock Suits and Cutaway suits of the best imported Corkscrews, Clay Diagonals and Worsteds. When a man puts on a Dress Suit he wants to look and feel his best. He cannot do this in a suit that is of indifferent style, inferior quality or ill fl.ting. One of the reasons that some men feel awkward in a Dress Suit is that they do not feel at home in it; the suit is tight; it drags, pulls or wrink as, and the mind is, so to speak, constantly oppressed by the sense of physical discomfort. There is no reason for this condition of things, after all the progress andlexperience in the manufac- i Lure of fine Clothing of the present day. I am offering a line of goods In 'Dress Suits thyt are made in the best style of tailors' art, that will give comfort perfect fit and good wear. Be sure you see this stock before mak ing your Fall purchases. It is ready for your Inspection. M. L. KINARD, Cofumbia, S. C. HE. LEAD!I WEARN now opening up a stock of ttives.
