A gentleman of our town who has now quite a reputations a Summer tourist,-furn? ishes cs the following items concerning Paw ley's Tslandir& seaside retreat , which he pur? poses; a^dngk"with?-others, to visit during the Summer. Our editorial self is in fnll sympa? thy with the move, and while we would not antagonize other places of resort, we confess to a leaning towards the placa io que Pawley'? ?slafl?Ms situated epo? we open sea, a few miles abor? tbe month of Winy ah Bay. It is reached at a cost of $3.55 from S om ter, by going by rail to Georgetown and thence by steamer to the Island. The Island is about four ?sties loag and a halfmile wide, well shaded with a growth of small trees wbicb-break the glare and furnish protection from heat. Mrs. LaBraee, the hostess of a private board? ing-house, has written....to.the gentleman al? luded to above, saying a couple of days on the Island'will convia ce ?ne tba tit is a de? lightful place, with, DO mosquitoes, ar fine beach for driving and better for bathing, ?loping gently oat towards the sea without current or dangerous uodertowv*Tft the rear of the Isl and are -creeks wberefrom ' are taken all manner of shell fish, with which Mrs. LaBraee promises to supply her guests. High sand hills serve as fine observatories from which visitors look. upon the moon as she seems to rise from the sea of waters. Jo front of the Island, one can find magnificent,, deep sea fishing. Mrs. LaBrnce lays stress upon the fact tfiat the Island is a quiet place and the citizens who Summer there are all excellent ladies and gentlemen. One of the chief attractions, however, ls the price of board. Ina letter of June 7 th, she says : "I charge five dollars per week, and will make sdbe redaction if three or four persons occupy; one room." To many of us whose purses;?? not over full and who have been payings tea and Sfteen dollars elsewhere, this is qd&?-an attraction. A gentleman from Kragst ree who bas visited the Island says that at Sullivan's Island yon pay ten dtrtbus:Or more per week Sw music while at Pawley"* Island rou gat jepetblbg tomcat for flreiollars. -T?V *. #P ?? .Hm Jo the averagt"Sumter to?ri*,jr*th tbe apse$ajaf many of whom wa have^*sc?ethij>gip ?fr, .

A superabundance of rain bas naturally caused an over-supply of grass- A ma-ntle of green eovers the face of the canos patch. Green grass makes Hue fir mers. The "col? ored brother" is master of the situation. He sees bis opportunity and appreciates it. We treat bim with marked consideration at a time like this. Be is in great demand and tbe pleasantest sight the farmer eau behold just now is to see a nigger with a hoe on his shoulder, ''come to wuck for you." "Barr? ing off*' seems to be the order of the day, though one man says when he sees bis neigh? bor barring o O's cotton he looks opon it as the ''last gasp." I suppose he means that it is a dernier resort, or a j'durr* poor resort." But it is only a flank movement by which we attack the enemy, in the rear. The situation is such, \)&t it will-put all our agricultural tactics to the test. We don't mind fighting Gen." Green? on a fair field, [or a fair day] but when bc bas the elements on his side^e has decidedly the adva?tug? of us. We tope though in.the course of the next week or ten days to be "able to report a glorious* victory, and tbatcot.toa fuot grass} is still King. Meeting of the D?mocratie tiva Committee? SuMTtm, S.

The Farmers' Convention which recently assembled in Columbia empowered me to affect a thorough organization of the* Farmers of Sumter County ?ojr the purpose of carrying out the various schemes for agricultural ad? vancement embodied in the resolutions of that Convention. Before taking any steps under the authority given given me to tbe ends pro? posed, I desire to have the advice aad counsel of my brother farmers relative to the scheme of organization and in regard to the general objects to be accomplished by such Organiza? tion. I therefore invite all the farmers of Sumter County to a meeting to be held in Music Hall in Sumter oa the 1st Saturday (the 3rd) of July, at ll o'clock, to consider the methods, measures and aims which I will subfp.it under the power given me, and I will"''be' guided entirely in my further oper?tions by the ex? pressed wishes of this meeting relative thereto.

There are some fine fields of coro and cotton ; and of course some that are very poor and grassy ; oct notwithstanding all of the rain and other drawbacks, in my judgment, there is less grass than there was at this time a year ago.

Wheal asked my congregation, last Sunday, to join io prayer with me for his recoverv, I did not know that the messenger bad already been sent to welcome him home. I am glad that it was my privilege to know brother Cuttino. Not long ago, I spent the night in his happy home and after supper be gathered his little children around him and sung "Open .the Door," and as his cultivated voice sang oat those beautiful words, "If thou wilt heed myhill/' 1 thought of what J had heard somewhere. "When the Lord Jesus stamps his image on the heart it is seen tn the face." Truly he was a great and good man, and I (hall, ever remember bim with the ten? derest regard.
