May the wings of the bird never become so damp from "eagles" that are due(y) thai it will be un able to soar. Heavy rains have visited all parts of the State during the past week, and in some places the j-re cipitation was heavier than it has been for several years. In Greenville and other places there was something like a cloud burst, and on the hillsides some houses were in danger of being was^ id away. Our offer of the Thrice -a-Week World and the CountyRecoiid one year for $1.65 still holds good; we ulcn offer Tiir Record and the Tbrice-a week News ami Courier for $1.75. This is a rare opp ? tunity to secure two good paper? for a very small sum. . The movable cage for the chain gang has been about completed and it will be put into use pretty soon. The cage is a well-bird! concern and it will no doubt be ot great service to the worthy super intendentof the gang. Of course, the convicts will be kept in the cage at night only. Attention is called to the ad vertisement of the Florence To bacco "Warehouse which appear on the eighth na<re. This is one of the leading warehouses in the State ami our tarmers will make no mistake in carrying their "weed"' there to put it upon the market. We know Messrs.

Epi in Organizing a Company. ?Recruits Secured. jvingstree, S. C., July 10,1S08. As I am here lor a day or two, will write my usual weekly letti right here in the County Recot office, and I trust that it will I as interesting to our readers as have I teen told my letters fro: Columbia are. I have been away from cam for several days, having been c, on a jaunt with the editors of tl State, and. having a day or t\\ more on my furlough, I decided I run down to Kingstree and sper the time with friends here. I am very sorry to see that tl young men who have been tryir to raise a company in this count have met with so little encouragi metit and success. True the have secured thirty or forty name hut it takes one hundred and si men to make a company < United States volunteers. ' As was aware of t he efforts being pi forth by Messrs. Ralph and E Epps, Ralph Jovnci and others 1 get up a company hero. I sugges ed to our recruiting officers tin they not visit Williamsburg unt after the formation of thecompan feeling sure that the requisil number of }*oung men could 1 secured, but I am afraid that acted very unwisely, as I ha\ found a number of noble voui fellows here who are very a us ions to enlist at onee. The camp at Columbia is grow ing daily and it will be only short time before the Second Rej iraent of South Carolina troo] will be completed. I am sure t! people of this county will be di> appointe t when they find tli; Williamsburg will not liave place in the picture, and I sha; with them in the disappointmei felt. True, this county has al ready furnished quite a number < Ihe men already enlisted in tl South Carolina troops, but think that the county could hav furnished at least enough men f< a new company u> form a nuclei around which the company eoul have heeii built. However, the young men wh want to join the army will ha\ in opportunity of doing so prett 30011. & When I found that there woul be no way to get the William burg county company together i time 10 get in under the seeon ;all of the President, I went aroun accompoined by Mr. E C Epp and found that nearly every on of the men who had promised t [ro into the home company wante to go right away and get into son: other company that lias boen a ready accepted, so I telegraphe my captain and asked for an es tension of furlough and wire Lieut. Otto H lvos cnger, of com pany C, who is the enlisting ol ficer of tlie Battalion, to con: here Thursday and have exam ined and muster in those wl; wished to go to the front.
