Since Friday last, some sections
of onr comity have been visited
with contional heavy rams. At
Hartsville, Saturday evening the
rain was accompanied by some bail
and a heavy wind storm, blowing
down large, oaks and doing much
damage to corn, in Mars Bluft on
Friday one of the heaviest raini of
the season fell. Below I£beuezer,
for weeks there has been fain after
ra j n - At Lydia and at Darlington
rain is needed. The crops report
are bad In some sections mapy
acres bave been overrun with grass.
The corn crop is above the average
and about made; cotton is small,
much of it in bad order and at pre
sent does not promise one-balf a
crop.
We consider any man fortunate
who takes a good agricultural jour
nal. In fact we do not believe that
a man can farm snccessfally with-
oat the assistance of an agricultur
al paper. In speaking about agri-
culturals we waut to call '.be atten
tion of onr farmers to the Cotton
Plant. It ia a beautifully printed
8 page, 40 eoluma journal, teeming
each issue with rioh information
for our farmers, and only oosts six
ty cents a year. We hope all onr
subscribers wbo do not not take
this paper will send ior a sample
copy. The July uumber is to band
and is brim full of good, wholesome
matter. Each number is worth ten
times a year’ssnbscription. Address
the Cotton Plant, Marion, 3. O.
CARTERSVILLE.
—Clinton Johnson, son cf G. G.
Johnson, died at this place on Sat
urday last
—Lynches River has been very
fu'l recently. The boat which hauls
turpentine, &c., down the river,
turned over a few days since, bat
no one was drowned.
—On Saturday next, 17th inst.,
the Gartersville Democratic Club
will meet to elect delegates to the
County Couventiou. A full atteud-
ance is desired. Meeting at 31
o’clock P. M.
—The crops are looking a little
better than a week ago, bat cotton
is still very small for tbe time of
year. We hope, however, with fa
vorable seasons that we will gather
three-fourths of a crop.
EBENEZER.
—Farmers are looking blue and
when one hears it thuuder, tbe
shade deepens.
—One ot onr neighbors wbo has
several acres in Gnba tobacco
pointed oat a stalk about three feet
high, tbe leaves near the bottom
measuring 13 x 22 inches.
—Soar apples and the plnmp
worms that inhabit them when
pounded into pulp, the expressed
juice after fermentation is known
around here as hard cider, and the
mau wbo sells it for 30 cents per
gallon is getting bald headed
fast.
—Rain almost continuously since
tbe 20th of May, as a consequence
grass has been on a boom, crops are
very poor, bad stands in cotton
and small weed, nothing like an
average crop will be made, corn
prosjiect equally discouraging, fer
tilizers so far seem to be a dead
loss to farmers.
—We heartily endorse what tbe
News, Marlboro 1 Democrat and
Centennary says regarding Hon. W.
C. Coker as being the proper man
for onr next Governor. Darlington
for many years prior to the election
of Hon. G. W. Dargan to Con
gress. has somewhat occupied a
hack seat among her sister counties
when honorable positions weresbar;
ed out. No doubt her exceeding
ly great modesty was the main
cause of her being so* long left ont
m tbe cold. Now that the tide has
turned, we must take it at tbe flood
—toot our own born a little, let the
people throughout the State know
that W. C Coker is appreciated at
home; not only does he look every
inch a Governor but as such will
be the right man in tbe right place
Jnst now after so many disastrous
years to our iarming interest, and
possibly political divisions among
our people, it will require sucb a
level bead as be has to pilot the old
Ship of State iuto a haven of tran
quil prosperi'y.. However let ns be
quiet about it, for fear Grover
Cleveland might learn of bis worth
and pack him off to Persia or some
other foreign Coart to look after
Uncle Sam’s inteiest before he gets
South Carolina out of the low
grounds of sorrow.—[We omit yonr
nomination as yon forgot tbe $5
William. That is the price this
season.—Eo.]
LYDIA.
—Have you found Skillettsville
yeti
—Crops are beginning to look
fine.
—That’s a fine piece of corn of
Dr. Galloway’s,
—Mrs. E. T. Hodges is visiting
relatives at Edgefield.
—The grass crop ia mighty and
still prevails to a considerable ex
tent, and although onr farmers de
clare that it grows a root at both
ends this year, they are confident
that with a few day’s more of good
weather they will make grass scarce,
and as difficult to find as Skilletts-
vilte.
—Mr. M. Marco left here for Bal
timore on July 3, in response to a
telegram from bis wife, informing
him of the sadden illness of one of
his children. Mr Marco has bad
considerable sickness in his family
daring this year, in which he has
the cordial sympathy of onr. com-
inanity.

—Mrs. W. L. Galloway left here
for Glenn Springs on July 9th, and
will partake of the healthful, life-
giving waters that abound iu that
vieinity.
—“Independence day” was < , ele
brated here on the 5th. in old time
patriotic style. The booming ot
guns, the snap of the cracker, and
tbe roar of tbe rocket and Roman
candle, as they made their beanti-
fnl flight skywards all helped to
make things lively. We regret that
the custom of celebrating the 4tb of
Juiy has become obsolete, and in
one of the “thirteen original States”
too, but hope to see it revived.
Americans should never forget the
natal day of their country.
—“Lydia No. 1,” the locomotive
that made a few tri weekly trips on
the T. ft L. R. R., has been remov
ed from its station at Oats, wbere
it has been accumulating rust and
interest for nearly a year, and will
be put in thorough working order,
after which its “toot” will be beard
along the line of a more successful
road in another portion of this
State. We regret that our enter
prise has collapsed, especially when
we had every reason to believe that
it would have been a paying invest
ment, and of inestimable value to
our farmers.
—Well, Mr. Editor, iu response
to tbe call of yonr Gross Roads
reporter to come ont and assist him
in knocking ont Ebenezer, we have
shied onr hat into the arena and
will endeavor to keep yonr readers
posted ou the doings in this local*
ity. Cross Roads asks whether we
bave “been getting married V
Well, “we should smile!" Bat not
lately, Gross Roads, as, happily
there is a Statute against bigamy.
We must plead “press of business”
as an excuse for our seeming
neglect to “report” from Lydia We
have been running a “Fashion Col-
ntnn” in a periodical, and besides
this, have been engaged upon “A
Treatise ou the Cure of Botsalso
upon an essay, “What shall we do
with the Mugwumps!” You can
readily see that with all ot the
above coupled with the painful (T)
duty of cutting off coupons from
our “Governmeuts,” our labors bave
been arduous. However, we have
scanned the columns of the News
regularly and am compelled in all
fairness to admit that Eoenezer has
been doing nobly. We suggest to
Gross Roads to pool our issues, and
it Ebenezer will contiune to confine
himself to cold facts, we will en
deavor to make him tired.
