Gary, of Cokesbury, bas received the appointment of delegate r from the State Medical Association of ... South Carolina to the Health Congress n>f the World, which meets in Geueva, Switzerland, next September. It is said that a lady living near the p FIori4s line, who bas been confined to i ker bed for many years with rheuma tism, was entirely relieved a few weeks ago by a discharge of lightning which threw her out on the floor. ; News has been received from Atcbi . sob,Kan., of acyclone at Cherokee City, by which two persons were killed and thirteen wounded. Cherokee is ? small watering place on the territorial line I south of :Maryrille. The town was nearly demolished, losing forty houses. Gold is flowing from this country to Europe at the rate of about $2.500.000 > week. The cotton export is the only breakwater. There would have been ?o return to specie payment and no balance of trade in favor of this country without Southern cotton. And yet most of the money made on cotton goes ?st and West. B. B.

According to the Yazoo, Miss., Sen Hmel, many planters say that they would not part with the advantage the overflow will b*$p their lands for a nice % little sum of money. The sediment de posited by the flood will do the soil more I good than any fertilizer that coo Id be applied. One planter says the cotton lands will now be worth from $4 to $5 ?or? per acre than formerly. Mrs. Betsy Mason, wife of Sergeant Mason, had an interview with the Pres ident on the 11th, and made a strong personal appeal for her husband's re lease from the Albany Penitentiary. ^-The President said to Mrs. Mason that he kad great sympathy with her and that the petitions for the pardon of her kuaband would be laid before the Cabi net The general impression is that Mason's sentence will be mitigated in a short time. The month of Mav is a grand gala season among the planets. The con junction of the three largest planets of tbe system'with the son ; the conjunc tion of six planets with each other ; the : ' superior conjunction of Mercury ; the total eclipse of the son, and the occulta " - lioni of Jupiter form a brilliant success V ion of phenomena as. imposing to the mental eye as they are beautiful to the ' physical eye. The sun is now passing through the maximum of son spots. From the Eataw (Ala.) Whig and Observer we clip the following, concero V-;: ing a young Carolinian?son of the Hon. John McQueen of Cheraw : 44An < earnest call is made this week on J. P. McQueen, Esq., to consent to be a can didate for the legislature. Mr. McQueen is one. of our rising young men who is destined to take high position if health and life is spared him. He is a good lawyer and is a practical farmer who possesses qualifications that fit him for a Representative. He is a staunch and true Democrat." The Anderson Intelligencer says : ?Tbe Summer meeting of the State Grange and South Carolina Agricultu ral Society, which will be held at this ? place in August next, will' be one of great interest. It will be an excellent opportunity for our farmers to exhibit to their brother farmers from all parts ; - of the State specimens of the small I grata crops. Let them select sheaves of wheat, oats, barley, etc., and put them away for exhibition on that occa sion, and show to those who come how welt suited oor soil and climate are to the production of the small grains. The origin of th? fire that destroyed the Bingham School building, in North Carolina, recently, is said to have been [ from an attempt on the part of some of j " Jhe cadets to drive flies from their room. > . They lighted pieces of paper and waved j .v " the flames around the room. The ceiling j bad a crack in it and through this crack j a blase was drawn and set fire to a pile ; of rubbish above the ceiling. This was j not noticed at the time, and it was not until after the cadets bad been called to j recitation, at a few minutes past 9 [ o'clock on that morning, their attention was attracted by the smoke issuing from the roof of the barracks. The fire had gained considerable by this time, and j . the fresh morning breeze soon fanned it into a. blaze beyond all control. A romantic attempt at suicide cccur- ' red in Atlanta Monday night. Walter Holliday, the son of a well-to-do com mission merchant, and Miss Maud Ken ner, a pretty blonde of fiteen, a member of one of tbe best families in Atlanta, were strongly attached up to three days ago, when a disruption occurred. Mon day night they met at a quadrille party. Their quarrel seemed to have been for gotten, and nothing unpleasant occur red until about 10 o'clock, when Holli day wrote a note asking ber not to dance any more. She disregarded his re quest, when Holliday addressing ber said : 'I want to tell you good-bye for the last time.' She said, 'Good-night.' Holliday walked out to tbe gate and shot himself, the ball entering bis breast and ranging into the kidneys. His death is hourly expected. In his delirium be constantly murmurs 'Maud V 'Maud P and the young lady of course relented and visits him. THE END OP THE ELECTION CASES. The political prosecutions which have occupied tbe attention of the United States Court for several weeks past were ended on Wednesday last, to the chagrin of the Stalwarts and tbe delight of everybody else. Never was there more useless expenditure of public money, a more fruitless .waste of rhetor ical talent, nor a more unnecessary dis play of poliiical seal and excitement than bae been caused by this great judi cial farce. After a considerable flourish of trum pets on the part of Attorney G?n?ral Brewster in tbe name of outraged free dom of elective franchise and a blood curdling resolution to utterly overthrow and annihilate tbe monstrous election frauds of the so-called South Carolina Bourbons, for which purpose the mighty though merciful government which he represented intended to punish (after conviction) the most prominent trans gresors, and after District Attorney Melton with the aid of Mr. Dallas San ders had, at the cost of much time and more expense, selected a score of the most diabolical and provable cases, five of them were tried and in spite of gov ernment, attorney, judge and witness, not one was found worthy of punish ment. All the ends which were sought have failed of accomplishment. Neither party has gained by the transaction. Ballot-box 8tuffers have not been turn ed from their evil ways by th? terrify ing example of two score leading men in striped clothes. Nor has the anni mosity of the two political factions of the State been materially increased or diminished. About the only result which has really been accomplished was in excellent opportunity for the cultiva tion of oratory on the part of tbe law yers, the practice of shrewd and shame less falsehood by witnesses, and an op portunity for the public to see to^jwh^tj; degrading depths^rjolitical parry and a wuj>^<asrtce^may f?lfc The following from the News and Courier of Thursday is a summary of the result of the trials : "There is not a single conviction to show in return for the enormous ex pense to which tbe Government and the people have been subjected. Original ly there were hundreds of cases in pro cesa of preparation. Fifty-nine were on the docket as continued from the April term. Mr. Melton selected 20 cases in which the witnesses were ready to swear hardest, and 5 were tried. The result is 1 acquittal, 3 mistrials, and 1 mistri al by order of tbe Court. There is but one feather in tbe District Attorney's cap. The Snmter canvassers, having been absolved by Mr. Melton from any suspicion of a corrupt purpose, pleaded guilty of a technical violation of the law, the District Attorney agreeing that there should be an indefinite suspension of sentence. This is all that has been made out of the trials. The reason is, that Mr. Melton did not succeed in packing the juries completely, and there was not such proof of the guilt of the accused as would satisfy, or could satis fy, an unprejudiced juror. It' was shown, of course, that at Acton, at Mayesville, and at tbe Hope Engine bouse fradulent votes were put in tbe ballot-box, but it was not shown that the accused election officers committed the fraud or permitted it. It* would have been a monstrous crime to send election officers to tbe penitentiary be cause voters, at their poll, had without their knowledge voted more than one ballot at a time. This would have been accomplished, however, if tbe standing aside process bad been effectual. In tbe Acton case, the jury agreed to a verdict of guilty on one count and of not guilty on every other count. The count on which they were found guilty was that in which obstruction of, and interference with the United States Supervisor and stuf fing tbe ballot-box were charged. In tbe other counts tbe specific unlaw ful acts were charged. The charge was j that the managers were guilty of ob struction, &c., and of stuffing the ballot box, &c, because (1) they had not al lowed the Supervisor .to inspect the bal lot-box, and because (2) they bad put fraudulent ballots in tbe box, or allow ed them to remain there The jury found that the accused did not stuff the ballot-box, or obstruct the Supervisor in any of the ways or by any of the acts, specified in tbe several counts, but that they were nevertheless, guilty of obstruction and ballot-box stuffing. It was a verdict that could not bave stood. Two of the jurors dissented from the verdict, before it was published, as they had a plain right to do, but the Court declared that it was too late and ordered the verdict to be recorded. A motion in arrest of judgment was made on the ground that jurors had been made to stand aside, in violatiou of law and the practice, and that two jurors had dissented from the verdict. Mr. Melton, it seems, came to the con clusion, on his own account, that the verdict was a nullity, and he according ly advised the counsel for the Acton managers that be would move to set the verdict aside. In Court yesterday he requested the counsel to call up the matter, in order tbaUhe might make the motion. .But when this was done, and he was asked by Judge Bond what he had to say, tbe District Attorney did not make the motion and merely announc ed himself to be the Court's most obe dient servant. Judge Bond then, of his own motion, ordered that there be a new trrial. editorial, correspondence. The Southern Baptist Convention. Greenville, S. C, May 12. We are in the midst of the great throng of delegates who have come to gether from every section of our glori ous Sonthland. About five hundred have so far put in an appearance, and a finer looking set of men we have never seen, (one of whom we are which, of course.) Dr. Meli, Chancellor of the Universi ty of Georgia, is presiding with magnifi cent grace and ease, and shows no favor to those whom he has to keep in order. This is a pertinent remark, if it be re membered that a convention of preach ers accustomed to use their gab, is a very disorderly body. The Church-building, recently re pared and repainted, is filled both day and night whenever the Convention is in session. Some thoughtful ladies have removed a hot bouse and placed it on the pulpit, and the pyramid of flowers io jars, all a-bloom, are very beautiful. In the arch of the pulpit, in large let ters of evergreen, is the word, 'welcome,' and in the homes of the citizens with whom we abide, we find that the wel come is sincere. In this Convention all of the South ern States are represented, one dele gate being allowed for every one bun ked dollars contributed to promote the objects fostered by the Convention. We meet here gentlemen from Texas, and ?ven from Mexico, going hand in hand with others from all the States of the Bast and West. Delegates from the Northern Baptist Convention are present only as visitors, is the two bodies are still separate. They are kindly received, and are al o wed to speak in debate; but do not rote with us. As a rule, those who :hus come are excellent gentlemen and Christians of the first order of intel ect. Dr. Hiscox, a gentleman of some reputation in the North, is here. He s the author of several books, and j tmong others, of the 'Baptist Directory' ] m freely used among our adored preach- j m. Dr. H. was a red hot abolitionist, , md preached confiscation as a part of Hs religion after-the war. He went so , ar as to say that our Southern Churches { should be sold along with all rebel j property. He even went to Baltimore o make arrangements to take possession , )f some of the Church property there. , ?es, this brother is here in the interest ( jf the Home and Foreign Bible Society, j 3e may be a good man?may be so ; j )ut somehow or other the Convention . ias 'sat down' on him in a rather de- \ nonstrative manner. t Up to date (Friday night,) Home j Missions have engrossed the attention of | he Convention.?Tfeis~Board has~con- ~ rtfi <^of-tE?""""Missionary work in the , southern States, the main centres of ( operation being California among the ] Chinese, and in destitute places of the , jreat South-west, especially New Or- , eans. Five thousand dollars-were raised ., ast night' to aid in paying the Coli- ( eum Church in New Orleans out of lebt. (Please say to the Sumter Bap ists that they are in for twenty-five lollars of this amount.) j The future of this . Home Mission - Soard?its Secretary and its location? 1 fill be discussed to-morrow, and the j liscussion is looked forward to with nuch interest. Dr. W. H. Mclntosh s at present Secretary, but the opinion eems to prevail that he is not the man j or the place. Your correspondent sends >ut a hearty amen to this. Rev. Mr. Cohen,- a converted Jew, idressed the Convention yesterday with eference to organizing a mission to the j Tews. He says they have been con rerted and are being converted daily to he Christian faith;- that their great , m'peding obstacle is the belief that a Tew cannot be a Christian?that their j ace distinctions hold them away from , is, a difficulty which will yield with irop?r treatment. Nous verrons. Foreign Missions, however, is the , *reat work before the Convention. To his work we give yearly about seventy thousand dollars. The Convention is low seeking to run this amount up to lundreds of thousands so that mission aries may be sent out by the hundred nstead of by tbe half-dczcn. We have with us Mrs. Crawford, the wife of one >f our missionaries at Tung Chow, China. She will return to China in the fall, and carry with ber Miss Blandford, ' )f Ky., to assist her4n tbe work. ! Your correspondent might keep up , ;his strain of song through a half-column aiorc, but his sympathy for your readers : leters him. He has met here, num- f bers of bis old comrades of other days ?the men who messed with him at the ' Seminary Hall in '73 and '74, eating ( biscuits aud hash and a just proportion )f dirt. Some of them seem to have fared better since those days and have ibanged their faces?others still have i hasby look. Some of them bave j zone up to high places in tbe C:>risitian < Dhurch?others remain in statu quo ] italant Doubtless of the numbers who are writing to their papers to- j sight some one will say the same of , your humble servant that he has said < )f them. So let it be. 1 Of our Sumter folks we meet here ( )ur honored County Treasurer, Mr. W. F. B. Kaynsworth, along with Mr. W. < M. Graham, who smiles serenely on men md women?especially the latter, if you . please. i But for a half-dozen hindering causes, < your correspondent would 'go on. We bear some one saying, 'Hold ! enough !' md we yield the point. C C. B. The Sixteenth Amendment. Female politicians seem to be making some progress toward the passsage of the sixteenth amendment. On Satur day the select Committee of the Senate on woman suffrage, by a vote of 3 to 2, agreed to recommend to the Senate for adoption Senator Lapbam's joint resolu tion, proposing the following amend ment to tbe Constitution : 'Article XVI, Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on ac count of sex. 'Sec. 2. Congress shall havo power, by appropriate legislation, to enforce the provisians of this article.' The vote was : Ayes?Lapham, Blair j and Jackson?3. Nays?George and i Fair?2.

Tbe esti mates given are based upon 171 reports, covering every county in the State, re ceived May 1. Cotton.?Tbe decrease in cotton acreage is 3 per cent, below last year. The actual number of acres planted is 1,409,623, against 1,454,278 in 1881? a decrease of 44,355 acres. The aye rage of the returns show that 47 per cent, of the crop is up. The general condition of the plant is reported at 5 per cent, better. Tbe amount of com mercial fertilizers used on cotton is 17 per cent, less than last year, and 25 per cent- of the crop is fertilized with home made manures. Corn.?The acreage in corn has been increased 4 per cent, over 1881. The number of acres planted is 1,356,305, against 1,298,286 acres in 1881?an increase of 58,019 acres. Tbe stand of corn is reported as a good average and the general condition 6 per cent, better than last year. Fifty per cent, of the crop is fertilized with commercial fertili zers, and 37 per cent with home made manures. Rice.?The acreage in upland rice has been increased, while the area in the low country has been decreased ; mak ing a decrease for the State of 3 per cent. Tbe number of acres planted in rice in 1882 is 75,270. Tbe condition is reported at 4 per cent, better than for same period last year. Sorghum.?Tbe acreage in sorghum has been increased 15 pe* cent, over 1881. The number of acres planted is 8,454. Condition reported as good as last year. This shows a total for the State io the principal crops of 3,414,141 acres, is follows : Cotton, - - - - 1,409.923 Corn,- - - - 1,356,305 Oats, --- - 362.373 Wheat, - - - 201,816 Rice. - - - - 75,270 Sorghum, - 8,454 Total - - - 3,414,141 This gives us 2,004,218 acres in the food crops, against 1,409,923 acres io ?otton It will be noticed that this ioes'not include sugar cane, peas or potatoes, which will add largely to the icreage of the State. No estimates bave been made yet of the acreage in grass land nor tbe products of orchards vineyards and the smaller crops. All these will doubtless show an improve ment over last year. Altogether the showing made is very encouraging and present prospect very promising. Supplies.?Estimates based upon the reports of the correspondents and the Dumber of liens recorded last year show :bat owing to tbe partial failure of the bod crops last year 25 per cent, more Farm supplies have been purchased this rear than last. This would make the ralue of supplies purchased $11,283. 145, against $9^1,345 in 1881: Of ;his amount^|^i8,3il worth are t)(Migh4^n*tTme, against $7,384,072 in 1881. These estimates are not strictly correct because the number and amount )f lieus recorded in Newberry, Pickens, Rich land Spartan burg and Union could aot be obtained last year, but the state nents are close enough for purposes of comparison and are probably nearly jorrect. ? An Elopement. ?our or five weeks ago a man named fi (or Frank) McGill from Lancas ter County, stopped at the house of Mr. Vlarcus L. Shell, on Mr. S. D. Garling ;on's place, near Liberty Hall. He re named there under tbe plea of being >ick, and,Mr. and Mrs. Shell were very ittentive and kind to him?especially Mrs. Shell. Mr. Garlington, not lik ing to see a man idling and louoging ibout the place, told Mr. Shell, about. ;wo weeks ago, he must send the stran ger away. He left the latter part of week before last. Monday, the 1st, he wrote from Newberry to Mrs. Shell a. most affectionate letter, calling ber bis 'beloved,' hoping she would soon be Mrs. McGill, and asking her to meet bim that night at ber father's, Mr. Thomas Phillips. The letter did not reach her, but was delivered to her hus band from the post office at Whitmire's Thursday morning. Mrs. Shell had al-. ready fled, having left with McGill the night before for parts unknown, taking with her ber best clothes and other arti cles convenient to carry. They have not been beard from since Mr. Shell bas sued out a warreut of arrest agaiost the guilty pair. Mr Shell is a wheelwright?a bard working man, about fifty-five years of sge. His wife is about forty, -but looks \ great deal younger, and is a fine look ing woman of considerable intelligence. They have been married twenty-four years, and have had children, but none rf them are living. McGill is about forty-five and is a good looking fellow, [t is said that he has a wife and a daugh ter fifteen years old in Lancaster Coun ty. ?Newberry Herald, May 11. MAGAZINES, &q.
