TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20. J. A. MOOD. M. D. I ~ _ D. B. ANDERSON, j ^i"*0*8 EDITOBIAL NEWS SUMMARY. Last week a peck of meal could not be 'bought in Columbia for either love or? money. The annual Greenville Count}- Fair will be held on the 11th day of October next, and Will continue four days. Owing to the general failure of crops throughout the County, Barnwell will have; no fair this year;. Twenty-seven pTr cent, worse than last year is what Bradstreet's reports of the cotton crop. This estimate is based upon answer* to eight hundred and sixty-fire inquiries. The Bible on which Governor Hampton took tho oath of office as Governor of Sooth Carolina in 1S76 and again in 1878 was de? stroyed by the fire which burned Col. Hask eirs residence recently. Col. A. C. Haskell has accepted the invita tion to deliver the annual address at the] meeting of the survivors of the Twelfth Regi? ment at Rock Hill next year. The town council of Edgefield met last week and made the annual levy for the Edge?eld, Trenton and Aiken Railroad tax. The coun-| eil levied 13 mills, which will amount tc about S2, OOO. The Orangeburg municipal election camej off on Tuesday. The Independent ticket, on which were a Democratic candidate for Mayor| and two Democrats and two Republicans for Aldermen, was elected. The liquor question did not enter into the contest. Mr. Frank Evans, of Marion, was one off the successful competitors for schoolarships at Vanderbilt University. He is the third oft the brothers to gain this distinction. A compromise has been effected between thej strikers and the employers at New Orleans,! and work resumed. The basis of adjustment was granting the laborers the tariff demanded and. the abandonment on their part of th? obnoxious association rules concerning the] ' choice or discharge of employees. The Sumter Guards, of Charleston have! notified the Adjutant General thar they can? not go to Yorktown, because of failure to secure the requisite number of men. The Ab-i beville Rifles, Capt. M. L. Bonham, Jr., have] been selected in their place. The First Regiment of the Connecticut National Guard, which it was announced would visit Charleston after the Yorktown Centennial, has decided that, owing to press ing business engagements at that season of the year, the men cannot lose the time to come, as they would like to do. Two companies however, may make the trip. The girls in the Treasury Department used ip $100 worth of toothpicks last year. They probably used them to anchor their crinipsS out of their eyes while poring over their booksj and planning what to wear at the next picnic The Act of February 20th, 1S80, wasg amended by the Act of 21st December, 1880, fixing the time for shooting deer between September 1st and March 1st, and for shoot? ing partridges, pheasant, woodcocks aud tur? keys between October 1st, and March 1st. t Near Charleston, S. C., twenty miles ups the Ashley river and jnst in front of Drayton! Hall, stands one of the finest trees on the con-| tinent of America. It is a live oak, and looks, as though it had lived 1,000 years, and was good for 1,000 or 10,000 more. Four feet' from the ground this tree girt? nineteen feet ten inches, and spread of its branches being 111 and 122 feet It is round topped and perfectly symmetrical. FARMERS AND FERTILIZES S -o The way in which the farmers are attempt? ing to compromise their debt for guano inf several of our counties, should be severely! condemned. The meetings which have been* recently held arc injurious to the financial! interest of the manufacturer and are benefi-J cia! to the farmer only ia proportion to the advantage it givea him to deal unfairly. The combination of a large number of men with an object of this kind hag a tendency to lessen that individual obligation which is the greatest aid to the credit of a man who can shirk indebtedness under the cover of the homestead law-responsibility which each man individually assumed when he contracted his debt. It gives strength and importance to demands which could not be exerted by an individual, thereby making it possible for him to obtain concessions which would not be made except by an unfair alteration of his position toward bis creditor. The manufacturer is asked to compromise with rich and poor of various degrees-with the honest as well as with the dishonorable upon the same basis, which is simply a re? quest to deprive himself of a large amount of money that could be easily paid in order to accommodate the slender means of compar? atively few. It is usual in the honest settlement of the debts of an insolvent man to give to each creditor a proportional share of his assets ; bot no mention is made in these so-called readjuster meetings of repudiating, dirainish ishing or compromising other claims than those for fertilizers. Such discrimination is not in accordance with the rules of old-fash? ioned common honesty. " The pious allusions to the "visitations of drought by an All-Wise God" which pre feces the resolutions adopted at some of these meetings, will not sanctify nor satisfy the unfair dealing which these resolutions are intended to initiate. If farmers are unable by drought or other causes to pay their debts, let them make the, best arrangement possible with their creditors individually and thus avoid a precedent which, may prove dangerous to their credit in the future. Weare glad that the farmers of Sumter county have followed this plan thus far, and we sincerely hope that they will discoun? tenance any idea of compromise as a body. KING OP THE COTTON FIELDS The News and Courier and Columbia Reyis ter are now busily engaged in settling the claims of the negro to agricultural royalty j The former paper has declared that the negro. ?3 "king in the cotton fields, and a success as a farmer," which has been questioned by aj number of correspondents, and. flatly deuiedj by the latter. ] Lengthy arguments, highly seasoned with] taunt and invective, have been put forth to show the exact degree of truth contained inj the assertion, but the f resent indications are] that a large amount of intellectual force, both; of an argumentative and satirical type, hasj yet to be expended before the subject will have been decided to the satisfaction of all parties. An exact explanation of what is meant by "King in the cotton fields," has never leen! made, and a few readers are at a loss ioj know whether pre-eminence i3 claimed oo| account of his lon^ and intimate association! with that particular kind of real estate; the; larger amount of his annual production of the staple, or superior ability to cultivate and de-' velop that branch of the vegetable kingdom. In some respects be can be shown to have an undisputed right to sovereignty, but the j-c?aini is being rigorously urged by the Regis? ter vi others, wbileCol. D. Wyatt Aiken has 'assumed the championship of numerous little [bulls, of one year old aod upwards, whose frights he declares to be equal in some respects |to any other. The benefit which will aceruelo thesuccess s }ful claimant, and the importance of deciding .the interesting question, will befully set forth. |we suppose, when it has been sufficiently dis? cussed. DEAD BESIDE THE SEA ! THE NATION'S CORPSE! ?Arthur Ascends to the Chair. Millions in Mourning. The following special to the Watchman and\ 'Southron came to hand just as wt were aboav to go to press : WASHINGTON, September 20, 1881. President Garfield died at 10:35 last night; Arthur qualified at midnight. And thus is the worst fulfilled, while we; yet humbly hope that the God of nations maj bring light out of darkness, and lead tbisj great nation into a grander future, even if it be a future founded upon the ruins of the? past. If time and space admitted, and we felt competent to prepare such a paper, it would be deemed by as a privilege to send forth a eulogy upon our dead chieftain in keeping with his worth of character, mind and heart We can only present a passing but sincerej tribute. President Garfield wa3 horn of poor bet respected parents, and in early life con? tented against an iron fortune. His father, Abram Garfield, and his mother, Elia Ballou. were both worthy but humble persons In the wilderness of Cuyahoga County, Ohio in a small log house, James Abram Garfield was born on Nov. 19th, 1831. As a boy hu mind was filled with wild and romantic no tions. His first schooling was at the Eclectic institute, Portage County, Ohio, at whicl place he entered as janitor and bell-ringer and thus paid his tuition. He afterwards attended Williams College, New England, and gradua-j ted with honors in 1856. In 1S58 he return ed to Portage school and taught Latin and Greek, and there married Lucretia Rudolph one of bis pupils, and bis present mourning widow. His political career commenced in 1859. First he went to the State Senate from Por tage County. At the commencement of thc war, he was put in charge of a regiment by Gov. Dennison. He had never receiv? ed any training but proved to be a boro commander of men. His judgment was clear 'and his deportment fearless. Two weeks 'after the battle of Chickamauga, he was com-l i missioned as Major-General for "gallant con duct and important service" in the battle. H In 1863 he was elected to Congress. His] course there was pacific but determined, and he never feared to vote with the minority. He never arose to speak without commanding 'attention, and in all matters his opinion was respected. It has been wisely and truly said, "if honor and honesty, truth and true man Ihood, did not dwell in him, they have no abiding-place on God's footstool. We are under obligation to the Washington Post, for obtaining and forwarding, at our re-; quest, the telegraphic account of the death ofj President Garfield, etc, which appears in another column. 11 Md ?I ? ? I ?BMBHBBgBHBBBHHBgaCfc \Editors Watchman and Southron : In your editorial on "The Methodist! [Communion," in your last issue, occurs this| (statement ; "But it is conceded by theolo? gians, that the Methodist doctrines may nowj !be characterized as Armenian in so far as it! [regards relation of the human race to redemp? tion." It is evident, that no well-informedp [theologian ever did or could characterize! [Methodists or their doctrines, for the mani-i [fest reason, that they are not Armenians inp] {any sense whatever. The Armenians are the inhabitants of j Armenia, a country of Asia, or the Members! of the Church established there in the fourth? century. Methodist doctrines may bo charac? terized aa Arminian, as they agree with views} set forth bj James Arminius professor of divinity in the University of Leyden, in bis? writings. "Arminianism in its proper sense, is to bel considered as a" separation from Calvinism! with regard to the doctrines, of unconditional! election, particular redemption and other! points necessarily resulting from these."? They do not deny election, but they deny that it is absolute and unconditional. The terras! Armenian, Arminian, differ in orthography! and differ greatly ia signification. I do not! suppose you had any inteution of misrepre-j senting the Methodists or the facts, of their! history, but you certainly are in error whenf yOu assert that "Wesley, wrote very Huh theology, and consequently Wesleyanism. sva3 never set forth by logical treatise into ai distinct confession of faith." Mr. Wesley was! a voluminous writer and wrote much on? theology as his published works show; but jj suppose you have never read any of them. Richard Watson a coadjutor of Wesley wroteg the "Theological Institute," a learned "logi-g cal treatise" expressly toset forth the theolo? gical views and belief of Methodism in refcr-| Zence to the doctrines of Christianity. I might! jnarae the theological works of John Fletchers [and many others: but I have written rlready? [more than I intended when I begun. METHODIST The above holds us to account for certain lerrors which the author claims were made in [our editorial last week on the "Methodist [Communion." We are sorry the typograph? ical mistake, an "e" in place of an "T" [which the wording of the article plaint) Jshow3, should have occasioned any notice ?whatever, but we apologize all the same, [nevertheless. In regard to Mr. Wesley's voluminous^ [writings not a word was said in denial as wc thad no doubt that he had written barrels of sermons which were good ones, and which, fwe guess, many a Methodist minister would ilikc to have. When we said that Wesley,? 'according to our modern ideas of theo [logical writings, wrote very little theology/' 'we simply bad in mind at the time the two [great reformers, Calvin aud Wesley, the for. mer of whom relied upon the reformation of hu [sect by setting forth the dogmas of his faithl jin a regular systematic treatise: while the! I fi j'atter accomplished the same m spirit amt>ng| ?his followers more by his practical teaching! 'than by any regular written forran lie ofInsg ^doctrines which a friend (already alluded tn fby "Methodist") was kind enough to do foi .bira. Petit Jurors.

COUNCIL CHAMBER, SUMTER, S. C., Sept. 20th, ll A. M. Whereas in the ail-wise but inscrutable [providence of the Great Ruler of the Nations, li great calamity has' befallen the people of these United States in the death of President Garfield, it is most fit and proper that all the people should stand silent as if upon the threshold of his death chamber. Therefore be it resolved that the citizens of the Town he earnest!y requested to close their places of business from 3 P- M. through the remainder of thc day, that they may give themselves to meditation on this solemn event.

Jim DeSaussitre, a son cf Cook Rembert, aged 47 years, died a most shocking death, caused by the steam gin of A. C. Durant. It is rare indeed to find a colored man with such record as bis. He was born a slave of James Rembert. He lived and died on the same plantation, now owned by A. C. Du? rant. His devotion to bis owners was un? tiring, and his politeness, truthfulness and honesty, since his emancipation, proverbial throughout this communi'y. His politics has always been the same as his white friends thoroughly Democratic-and at the same time he had many friends of his own color as a proof of this, the immense throng, both white and colored, who attended hisfuneral, preach? ed by Rev. A. W. Moore. Pastor of Bishop, ville station, M. E. Church South, at the re? quest of his wife, I would also state that Jim was getting ulong in the world well-run a two-horse farm, and always paid his debts promptly. All tirs the result we think of the honest straight-forward course in life. I would ad? vise all the colored people to imitate his exam? ple, and they would get alona better. J. 0.
