On Wednesday last a tenant house in the yard of Mr. A. Weinberg caught mu fire, and the alarm caused quite a consternation. No serious damage waa done, as the fire was soon eiUngnished. Mr. T. J- Boatright, who has re cently returned from the World’s Fair, informs us that there is not ths slightest dilfionity about securing accommodation at reasonable rates, and says that every one who can pos sibly word it should take the trip. He was there only one week, but law something new every day, and could have enjoyed staying longer.

One day last week we rode out to the farm of Mr. W. S. Hatchel, •bout four miles from town, to see his crop anl those in the neighbor hood. Mr. Hatchel has some very fine corn that is growing on a piece of flat land that bad heretofore been regarded as worthless, until he took itla hand. This shows what can be done by intelligent and skillful farming. Under proper treatment we have yery little land in our sec tiftp that can't be made to produce <£9pd crops. a very substantial brick sidewalk In front of bis new itoMS, Which by the way are fitted up and painted in the most tasty manner, so as to have everything correspond in appear ance.

The Himes estate owns one hundred feet frontage between Mr. Msroo’i and Dr. Garners and we hope that this will soon be bnilt up. It is a splendid location for a fine hotel. Mr. B.

During the mat mouth or two he has been em ployed fa the Hmuu) office and made remarkably rapid progress in Wrnfaf ths art of printing.

The subject of improving our public highways is one of para mount interest, especially to the farmers, ami demands the serious consideration of those who have the public welfare at heart. Nature is very impartial in the disposal of its gifts, and where the soil is composed entirely of clay, there is nearly always an abundance of rocks near the roads that can be utilized to make them hard and firm. Of course it is out of the question to macadamize our roads, owing to the absence of rock and even if it could be easily procured it would not answer in onr sandy soil, and the problem we have to consider is the best means that can, under this con dition of affairs, be adopted to keep them in good condition. It is very strange, yet none the less true, that the farmer who stands more iu need of good roads than any one else, and who is loudest in bis complaints when they are in bad condition, does more to injure them than everybody else put together. This charge is very easily proved when his persis tency in plowing up the public roads is called attention to, and the prac tice is so universal that there are scarcely any of our highways that will allow the passage of two ve hicles without their passing through S lowed ground. This practice must e stopped if we are to have any thing like an approach to decent roads, for until it is every plan sug- { ested for their improvement will c in vain, even if the attempt were made to carry them ouj. The roads, to begin with, should be at least twenty-five feet in the clear, that is outside of the drain that should bo dug on each side, and kept at this width. The subject of wide tires for wagons has attracted a good deal of attention and have been tried in a good many sections with very satis factory results. One of two of the counties in Tennessee have, a» an inducement to the farmers to use to xemib-pne- the'^rosH taxes of'those who will make this change in their wagons. Another improvement is in, not os heretofore, having the point and rear wheals to run in the same track, but to have one. axle six or e|ght inches longer than the other. Another great advantage possessed by the wide tires is that in hauling in the crops, which has often to be done when the ground is very soft, the wagon does not cut down in the soil as it wonld do with narrow rims, and this being the case it is very easy to see what a difference there would be in the weight of the load that could be carried. It wou Id cost very little to try the experiment of using wide tires and see how they would answer «n our roads. In the mean time, as a etc] i in the right di rection, let the farmers keep their plows from running into the public roads, and if they would not do it willingly the county !

Temperance Lecture. The feinperance lecture that was advertised for Msnday night was not delivered, owing to theyfaot that gff audience could not besecored. This is very much to be regretted, os Mr. Gibson.is the regularly accredited lecturer of the Good .Templars, and he had a right to expect that the members of the order here would pay the slight courtesy of being present. It seems strange, to say the very least, that after all the blowing of trumpets aud boasts of carrying the State, at the primary, on the part of the prohibitionists that their interest in the cause of temperance should so suddenly cease. This is t^e only construction that oon be poc on their failure to turn out and hear Mr. Gibson, unless it be that they deem the estab lishment of a dispotirary as such a triumph for their cause as to ren- df any furtyrjtfor*, a» (hairpart, ttnneeessiry: Wc afe firmly of the opinion thut there never has been a time, in the whole history of the State, that called for more earnest, persistent and common sense efforts in behalf of temperance than exists uuder the present condition of af fairs, when the State attempts to derive a revenue from the unfortu nate weakness of its own citizens.

It would be infinitely better in every way if those of our people who are in foil! sympathy with the jiolicy and demands of the Third Party would come out openly and cast their for tunes with this party, and not stul tify themselves by remaiuiug iu a party for whose principles they ex press such abhorence.

Wall street. Agricultural Society In another column we publish the notice of the meeting of the A, good will £0 a commum- iSked ift the daily papers from General Farley, abnsiog me for supposed' wrongs I had done him. I cannot engage in a personal abusive cuntro- yeriy with General Farley, or any- Body else, The public are not in terested in such literature, aud tfiere- ivro do not expect me in this reply to engage in any Such blackguardism. The.public, however, have a right to be informed -as to the truth or falsity of any statement of alleged fact t hat may be contaiued iu Geueral Far ley's article. There are only two statements of moment in the letter as I read it First. That I dictated to my private secretary of. an article, which appeared, the second week of March m tne Augusta Chronicle, signed “Craddock,” without the consent or knowledge of the person who uses that nom dc plume. Second. That I inspired au edi torial, which was written by Mr. T. W. Crews, iu the Luurensville Herald. ' The first charge is as ridiculous as it is false. The idea of a person with a thimble full of sense forging the name of a newspaper man is laughable in the extreme: but I am willing that the public should know the whole truth about that “Crad dock” lettefi Mr. James H. Tillman, a son of Congressman Tillman, was, about the date of the “Craddock” letter, the correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle in Washington) and “Craddock” was his nom do plume. On Saturday) just one week after the inauguration of the president, Major William T. Gary of Augusta and Mr. James H. Tillman came into my sitting room at the National Hotel. Major Gary said to Tillman that what he had told him a few moments before ought to be re peated to Irby. I asked what it was and Tillman told the following talet Ut, ami saying that it would go oil by telegraph iu a few iiiimiles. As to the piece referred to from the Laurensville Herald I cau only say that 1 knew nothing of it until I saw it in print. The subjoined letter from Mr. Crews on that sub ject will explain itself. (The letter corroborates the statement). In conclusion, I will ask the pub lic to think of one thing only: Why did not Geueral Farley ask of me an explanation, if he believed whiit he pretends to believe of the assumed wrong I did him. The evident reason to me why he sought no explanation is that, if he had done so, ho wonld not have had the opportunity to abuse me for political purposes, for he knew had he called on me, a satisfactory answer would have been given him, his excuse for denouncing me and his chance for ingratiating himself with the Con servative element would have been lost. I leave it to the public to say whether events subsequent to the fourth of last March have not proved that Jim Tillman told the truth when he came to me with the report of the conversation between him and General Farley. I need not give the argument why I believe Jim Tillman told the truth, for I am satisfied that every one who reads the newspapers and who has watched the turns in politics will see that there was truth and lots of it in what Tillman said. BICYCLE RACES. A GRAND MEET IN FLORENCE ON JULY SO. Darlington Will be Well Repre- sented—Riders frsa Stater art Mariet Expected. Friday, July 28, will be n gala day for bicycle riders. The Florence boys will entertain the visiting wheelmen, and nse every effort to make the event a pleasant one. On the program will be seven races for men aud two for boys and doubtless there will be other races besides those on the program. The Darlington boys will be pres ent iu full force. There are now at least half a dozen who are preparing for the occasion, and they propose to bring back several of the prizes. The committee will also act as the judges; and as Uapt. Henry T. Thompson is the Darlington com mitteeman, our boys need have no fear in entering. Au excursion train will leave here at 2 o’clock and return about dark. The fare will be in the reach of all, and a large crowd will attend from this place. The program will be given in full next week, Auy one wishing further information is invited to call at this office. ■This philippic against me is but 0 N THE HILL, the fulfillment of the scheme us concocted last March. The scheme, however, was amended by leaving out Governor Tillman for reasons which must be apparent to every sensible person. Genural Farley reasons thus! I will abuse Irby and thereby please every Conserva tive in the State and will threaten Tillman and sew his mouth up, aud by praising Shell will get enough Tillmauites to beat SUtnyarne Wil son for Congress. With this explanation I have done with the newspapers as a means of adjusting differences, am very respectfully, John L. A Iuby. August 8.189D.

He said that Farley hod read him a long abusive communication ad dressed to the Reformers of South Carolina, showing that Tillman and Irby were unsafe, unwise, extreme, dangerous leaders; and that the Re form movement could not be per petuated without throwing them overboard and putting more conser vative leaders in front. He asked Tillman to publish it iu the Augusta Chronicle with his (Farley’s) noin de plume, saying that the piece would attract great attention, create a great sensation, and that, at the proper time, he would come out and assume his authorship. Tillmau said that he refused to publish it unless he would allow the editor of his paper to know the anthor.

This great factory is located at Chicopee Kalis, Mass., and bears the name of the Over man Wheel Company, familiarjto cyclists the world over. This company intro duced the safety bicycle in America, and on that account as well as by reason of superlative merit "The Victor” has steadily held lirsl place in popular favor.
