EDITORIAL ITEMS. Thc "Western States, especially Ohio, Missouri and Kansas, have had some lively experiences lately with wind? storms. A number of lives were lost ir, the Kansas storm, while the destruction of property was i m?nense, Ciuverius who was found guilty, in Richmond, Va., ct murdering Miss Lill ia a Madison and sentenced to be hung in November, has. through his counsel, brought forward some new ev? idence to establish an alibi. Wo are inclined to think Ciuverius guilty. Buddeoseik thc New York contractor whom we mentioned as being on trial in New York, some weeks ago. for man? slaughter.-some cf his shoddy build- ', in gs bavirig fallen and killed several workmen-was found guilty and has been sentenced to ten years in Sing Sing. We most heartily approve both verdict and sentence. Tn England the Conservatives have made up a Cabinet a: last, much to the delight of the Queen, who hates a Libe? ral most devoutly. Salisbury is at the head, but his led will not be all of roses, and he will doubtless wish that Glad? stone was back in power 1 f rc two months. N". G. G . the Columbia correspon? dent of the X- - :< <nid Courter criticised -the sanitary condition of Lancaster in a recent letter to Lis paper, and the J?ed$e<r retorts by a sharp criticism upon N. G. G., and denies his charges. The raper says that a barrel of molasses fell from a wagon the day before and burst, and this was the Cutts*, of the bad smell of which the correspondent eoaiplaiued. The Augusta and Atlanta pupers are in luck. l?ctvv-cen liase Dali and Rev. j Sam .K-oes they caa SH their ojiumns ' to over-lowing each morning-base ball, however,taking the lead. Augusta,which some days ago was in the low grounds of despair because her nine were play? ing second liddle to the Atlantas, is now with delight because ot recent . and the Ch-o?tkh rises to say other members of the league lo Augusta to thrash Atlan? ta, that ske^^? & .^^t] fSjg^ no longer. We monti med last ^eek that rumors of cruelty lo convicts corking on .the Savannah Valley road. bcd reached Columbia. The Superintendent, Col. Lipscomb and the Penitentiary Surgeon. Pr. Pope, immediately repaired to the . convict .-ump and made an investigation of the charges. They have returned and submitted a report to the Governor, who declines for the present to make it public, but will do so at an e;irly day. It is supposed that the rumors have been sustained, and the Governor wishes to make arrant":!.eats for providing a suitable remod\ before making it known.

The farmers have been too busy du? ring thc iast two mouths to spend any time upon this organization. Yet it is well for them lo keep it in mind, and plan for its future usefulness. The Association is scarcely upon its feet, and lias been handicapped in vari? ous ways but still it hus done good to the County, and its field of usefulness iu the future is almost limitless. Thc ar? ticle iu another column upon Agricultu? ral Organizations is most pertinent., and wc commend it to the careful perusal of our readers. Wc can add but little to its plea for the necessity of organiza? tion, and can merely repeat over and again the same arguments already j used. j The magnitude of the farming inter- . est in Sumter County overshadows all . other industries. Ry it we must pros? per if prosperity ever visits our abodes. As are the farmers so must the County he, and when they fail we all must suf? fer. We look to the brave sons of toil j for our temporal salvation, ls it anv wonder then that this organization of. Sumter farmers should bc watched with interest bv thc entire County ? DELEGATES TO THE SUMMER JMEETING. Yv'e published last week a circular letter from Mr. Thos. W. Holloway, notifying each county that arrange? ments had been perfected for free trans? portation of three de-legates from each county Agricultural Society to thc Sum? mer meeting of thc State Agricultural and Mechanical Society and the State vi range, to be held in Beunetlsviiie, August -"th. lt has been ?U2?Ccted to us, that a m-_ w m;-c-?i:*rr ^v-pZ?scn?a;ives from the va? rious agrie thura! or?^ij?ajo^JS in thc county be held here next Mondav>a!*er the sales are concluded, and that ar- : rangements then bu made for selecting fr.?se delegates-this plan, by : he way, is suggested by Mr. ii edle way in his cir? cular letter. \-~? regret not having brou:::.; this marrer L 'fore our readers last week, as tho v. would L*ivc had more time io ar? range therefor, 3-ttt better late than never. _ _ . . . . ]\ S. Since the above was written the Executive Committee of the Sumter Agricultural Association has Selected three gen tlc maa to represent that or? ganization. We learn that the S. P. Sc A. Association have likewise appointed three delegates : and there is a proba? bility that the '.?rango wiii also appoint delegates, and hence the greater neccs >ify for the compromise meeting next Monday.

A recent visit to Charleston by a repr?sent? ative of the W'lichnum ant? Southron was taken advantage of to enjoy a little airing on Sul? livan's Island at the New Brighton. This delightful resort is just now being well pa? tronized, ana on last Saturday night and Sunday ;!?e ferry boat was crowded at nearly every trip. Thc New Brighton is now under the conduct of the;proprietor. Mr. Burnham, and is a first class house ia every respect. The bill o; fare embraces thc best to be had, and among all the guests lhere, no other com? ment than that of satisfaction was heard. < ?ne of the finest bauds m bo had, is regularly employed to play for the house and three couccr's aro given each day. Tine sea breeze and surf bathing cannot be apnreciated without being enjoyed, and it is well worth the time and expose of the trip to make a visit to the Nev Brighton',-for this parp?se alone. The tid-%s were just right for early mo ruing, a nd even tag bathing, and the aforesaid representative will guarantee thal he knows whereof he speaks. The waler was wei! pa?rcni?-dj and the breakers were roll? ing it: as nicely as ore could wish. Two bath? ing houses (for ladies and gentlemen) are conveniently placed near the beach, nod are supplied with bathing suits, and attendants. The hotel is about iwc miles from trie boat 'ali ding, hut aline of Street cars make regular trips-tare only 1" cts: or 3 tickets for -3 cts.. and the ride is worth the money*. Charleston is . : ti ; t e healthy-from represen? tations more so thaa many places in the country, and the people ail seem happy and contented, notwithstanding the complaint of diu ll times in some lines cf business. The Banks are said to be all full of money, and financial matters quite easy. Some, how? ever, say that it is a bad si^n ior ba dis to have ali th? money and the people none. ? -->->- -Ci - Glenn Springs Hotel. ; Wc call:attention to the advertisement of : lids noted health, resort, in to-day's issue. lt lias opened for the season with very bright prospects.
