Young America's paruded on Tuesday afternoon, aud as usual look ed well* School boys tako notice that Mr. Kirk Robinson has supplied himself with a good lot of school books. There is no excuse for your not say ing your lessons on this score. Reap the article in another column on scientific farming from the pen of one of the ablest contributors to the Timks. We think It will be interest ing to all who pursue farming as a science. Last Salesday was a rather dull one. Only one peice of property chang ed hauds through the Sheriff, which Was a tract of about 400 acres belong^ ing to R. G. M- Berry and bought by K' M. Fairy for 84 76. Several, communications have boon Crowded out this week for want of room. We are anxious to hear" from O?r friends from every direction on any topics of interest to our readers, but wo must wurn them not to be too lengthy, if they wish their articles to appear. ? One would have supposed that an C'Xfidus of the colored clement was going on,by lite crowd of delegates who filled the cars on Monday last. They ."were'cool however; many of them hung illg (heir pedal members loosely out of \\te window*, and others sunning their ht-ndsiin thesills. All for gh ry und for gain ! \Ve call attention to the advertise, incut of the Enterprise grocery store and saloon. We want no better evi dence that Mr. Fischer is a man of enterprise than the fact, that tho subject was so much upon his mind, that he named both the store nnd sa loon Enterprise. Mr. Asbury Wan namker, his accommodating and at ten tivc clerk, may be found in the saloon wffero ho is always ready to servo Iub friends. The Executive Committee of the county Tax Union was orgauized on salesday by tho election of Dr. R. W. Bates as chairman, nnd the appoint ment of efufnes S. Hey ward Esq., ns Secretary. This committee is composed of the chairmen of the Executive com mittees of the various township Unions, and will meet again in the Y. A. F.E. Hall, on Saturday September 19th. All business communications must bo addressed to the Secretary. Captain Briggman is generally im proving his property on "Sunny Side" ns well as the town generally, by the erection of small buildings and the laying out of town lots. About forty . lots, measuring some sixty feet front by four hundred deep, conveniently loca ted to tho business part of town, havo already been laid out. It is in this way that a town is made to grow, and not by holding lands in a body, and forcing purchasers to seek homes else where. M('Michael and Blume, the young nnd energetic merchants who not long ago set up business at Meroncy's old stand, are growing rapidly in favor with the people, and promise very soon to rank oven with the most popular old firms of the town. The secret ol their success is that they spare no pains to please their customers, not only in the quality and the style of their goods, but in the agreeable manner in which they servo them. By rcfeicncc to their advertisement it will be seen that they h ave a splendid stock on hand, which it would pay one and all to call nnd examine. Long may they bloom. At tho the time of going to press we can gather nothing definlto as to tho proceedings of the Republican State Convention, which is now in session in Columbia, except from the-published statement in the Union-Herald, from which we would judgo that all things were not running as smoothly as de sired. Even from 'this Republican source, we notico there was considera ble confusion .Elliott was defeated for chairman by C. M. Wilder. The Con- - j vention is composed of tho sumo old political intriguers. Rumors are afloat that Chamberlain's chances are dimin ishing, and that Cvnningham of Char leston is looming up as a third man? Wo make no further comments asa very short time will how decide if reform is the aim or not. Wo rciterato, that, if an honest man is nominated, the Con servatives will naake no opposition, but we can't go Chamberlain or Moses. P-?r The Ornngeburg County Tai Union met at the Court houss on salesday. Col. A. D. Goodwin, tho chairman, called the meeting to order and presi ded during the deliberations, which wero of an important and interesting character. Tho Secretary being ab sent, K. J. Felder was requested to act in his place. The representation was full; delegates from twenty ono Unions being present. The following delegates wero elected to represent the County in the State Union which meets iu Columbia to-day: Drs. J. A. Keller, Geoge Odom nnd O. H. Ott. A reso lution was adopted appointing two or more members from each Tax Union to assist the Board of Equalization, the members of the Board who were pres ent desiring such action. Many sub jects of iuterest were discussed nnd disposed cf. 0-? Tin; Eilisto Social Rifle club mot on Friday afternoon at the Fair building, for the purpose of completing its or ganization ' by the adoption of a con stitution. Captain James F. lzlar, 1 who was not present at the first meet ing at which lie was elected President, I came out und treated the club to one of those calm dignified and well timed speeches which will doubtless exercise a wholesome influence over the young men composing the cUib. The club is organized upon the basis of the old Edisto Rifles, purely for social enjoy ment, and is. made up of the most respectable young men of the town. It is certainly fortunate in the selec tion of good officers, nnd promises in time to he the pride and life of the Burg. Tho next meeting, at which several important.offices arc tobe filled, takes place at the Fair Buildiug, on Tuesday September 15th. A Sabre Club will be organized at Kuoits lower Mill ou Saturday Sep tember 19th, at 2 o'clock p. m. All interested will attend. We have been requested by G. W. Dnnnelly and J. S.
