Augusta has had a big strike, and a very foolish one, among its factory ope? ratives, and now after losing several weeks of time, and making themselves ridiculous it is said they are all going baclftowork without gaining a single 'concession.

H> ? ?o great catastrophe has yet occurred "to justify tho direful forebodings of those whom the farmers* movement had -^./fct??y frightened.

Asheville and Burroon di ag localities are bubbling over with tourists busily engaged in seeking lelief from the torrid heat. AH of which is a very pleasant condition' of affairs to railroads sud hotels. The Kevxand Courier seat a special train from Charleston to Asheville last Tuesday with its large 12 page edition of that day containing a full and graphie account of Charleston's new line to the West, and a description of the country through which it passed. We hope the bright visions of future prosperity which may come to Charleston from this road may be more than realized, and that Charleston may become what she should be, the leading seaport of th? South. Under the head of "A race conflict in Missisippi" comes the news that a - tnob of fifteen white outlaws have banded themselves together to prevent negroes from working on farms in their vicinity. We do not believe one word x>f it. There are roughs scattered over the country readj for any rascality that comes to hand, but no one outside of a lunatic asylum would enter apoa a cam? paign which would meet the active op position cf every farmer ia the section, ?ffi?&aiie. ?A?. ^Coward, who has had Congres- ! si?nal aspirations, and was prominent? ly brought forward as a candidate in his District, has retired from the race for Congress, and will very possibly be a candidate for re-nomi&atiou to his pres? ent ofi5ce. Col. Coward would make a magnificent Superintendent of Educa? tion if ho had nothing else to do, but he can-not carry on that office and a school at the same time, therefore he should step aside, for Borne one who is not so busy. The action of the Orangebarg Con? vention in opposing free tuition in the S. C: College, was a surprise to many. Whether right or wrong, free tuition in it? present shape, ts doomed, and we were surprised that the friends of the College opposed the plan outlined in the. bill Col. Earle championed last year, in the ^Senate. It would have checked ?such Opposition that baa since grown and increased, and which now seriously threatens the very existence of the Institution. In grasping at too much, all may be lost. THE CONVENTION. * ;The Democratic Convention yester? day was a success. One hundred and thirty-seven delegates were entitled to tnewbersbip, and one hundred and thirty-"five were present. This is cer? tainly a creditable showing for the County and is proof that Sumter is never 'behind in the performance of her political duties. In the decision of the -questions of material importance which were brought before it, the Convention was practi? cally unanimous. In deciding the man? ner ?f nominating candidates, t&e vote stood 100 to 22 ia fx vor of Priaaary, and while the majority for 4Plurality" was not so large, yet it was a safe ma? jority-72 to 45. The delegates elected to the Staten Convention will be acceptable to the County. Thc lawyers, farmers, doctors and merchants are represented on the ticket by some-efi&eir best men, and we end<?rse the entire Hst. We were glad to see the farmers prominent in - this political work, thereby showing that in Sumter County there will be no discord between them and the Democra? cy. Indeed, how could there be when our farmers are all Democrats. P??OGBESSIVE SPARTANBTJRG. We have heard nothing lately on the Water Works question, and dedicate thc following from the Spartaoburg Herald to the good cause : The arrangements for a first class system of water woiks for Spartanburg has almost been perfected. The agent of thc American Water Works and Guarantee Company wa? itn .thc city last week io conference vwifh the ?city Couocil. They came to an agreement which the Council signed and which he has carried to his company for ratifica? tion, lie agrees to furnish <he water from a -stand-pipe 100 .feet high with a capacti^ .of ;>U0,UU? ^allocs, li U to bb distributed stu the? citiff^brough five miles of pipev.10 to. 4 Niches in diameter. The water is to be supplied by two force pumps with a capacity of 1,000,000 gallons uer day. In ease of fire these pumps will be turned directly into the pipes, and it is guaranteed ^Spat without the aid of a fire engine, fonr streams of water can be thrown through 100 feet of hose and an inch nonie at least ninety feet high, or over the. high? est house iu the city. There are to be sixty plugs on the street for fire, ?nd cleaning and sprinkling the streets, two public watering places for man and beast, and a fountain in the public square. For this the city is to pay $2,500 per annual rental, and private parties who wish the water are to pay a reasonable water rate, not to exceed a specified sum. The works are to be: first class in every respect. The com? pany has an exclusive franchise for' twenty years, with a reserved right by the Council to buy them out if the city so desire at the end of ten or fifteen years. The Council deserves thanks and congratulations for securing such a con? tract-much better than was offered by any one else ; and the city is to be con? gratulated on the early perfection of an improvement so great and BO necessary. - m i t tm - Written for thc Watchmen and Southron, Rte*Uee?*s rf peer's Rafe RUMBKR IV. As we have remarked, the condition of the Church building by their repeated volleys of musketry into it, would not allow them to leave it thus, and it was determined to fire and destroy utterly what was left of the sacred edifice. Bot before this was done, they resolved to show their utter disregard of God and man and to complete their characters as an infidel horde. j So the Bible-God's Holy Word and the Hymn book, both long ia use, were brought from ?he pulpit by vandal hands. Four forked sticks were driven into the earth in front of the Church door ; upon these were placed other sticks sufficiently strong to bear the weight of the books. And there like wild and dissipated savages the fire was kindled and they proceeded to sacrifice them in the flames. This ts another picture. The wildest confusion prevailed among the soldiery, mingled with their boister? ous laughter and wicked and ungodly jokes as the blaze began to kindle and the books began to burn. They had done their work com? pletely. But there were three noble children ; high-toned and respectful, looking on, the sons of Mr. B. B.-Isaac, William and James. They had been taught to reverence God's word. Shocked and outraged at what they saw, they could endure it no longer anu?nt?F??j r?gsrd less of what injury they might receive, they approached the burning pile and kicking over the blazing embers rescued what was unconsumed bf the Bible. It was burned through, however, to He? brews These rescued leaves torn and badly scorched fell into the hands of Mrs. W. I., and shown afterward with tearful eyes, as she'd tell of the wicked revelry of Potter's army that day at New Zion Church. The hymn book was entirely cousu med. The General and staff bad eaten, the cavalry had rested a season and the in? fantry had refreshed themselves and now they prepared to march on to Man? ning. Under the leadership of General Pot? ter they moved rapidly up the open road. Many soldiers and stragglers, how? ever diverged to the lei*, and came up? on the residence of .pi?. Wm. B. C. Of course he was not ax home, and one eau only imagine the terror and confu? sion in that home where the timid wife and daughters found the yard and house filled with armed negroes, and they continued to come and go all that day. (Saturday. April 8, '65 ) I'll not begin a description of the behavior of these raiders. They robbed him of his eight mules and three horses, his wagons, and buggy and every particle of meat and his entire stock of poultry. In thc alarm and terror no officer was called for, no guard solicited. These creatures were uncontrolled and they proceeded to burn the gin boose and .crew and his outbuildings, with one hundred and fifty bales of cotton. Thc dwelling was thoroughly ran? sacked and everything they could lay their bands upon was stolen. But this was not enough, their fiend? ish work was only complete when they resorted to every conceivable means to terrify and alarm Mrs. C. and her terrified children. They would discharge their guns in the house and threaten to shoot them, and a negro sol? dier required one of his companions to take from his mother's arms, 51., the babe, who was sick and place him upon the gate post, and hold him there as a target to be shot at, and then with yells and terrifying oaths would laugh at the little sufferer's cries as he would reach ; j out frantically his arms to his sisters; ! pleading for deliverance from their rude clutches. They required one of the daughters to look into tbe m ur ile of his loaded gao and commanded her as she obeyed his orders, to say her prayers. And to intensify the distress of the family, who were bearing almost more than they could, a bloody garment was brought in and shown as proof that they bad murdered their son, J., who had tried to, and who did escape. The memory of this fearful day by this family will never be effaced. Directly on their route they passed the home of W. I., and here their con? duct cannot in these "Recollections" be dwelt upon; I dare not particularize. How the perpetrators of the blackened deeds have been ali o wed to live ia South Carolina, and to take such a prominent part ia the management of the State Government has been the sur? prise of many ever since the war. Saturday, April S, 1865, dawned beautifully clear and bright upoo our town, lt was a perfect April morai cg. The rain had ceased, which had glad? dened thc newly budding trees, the grass and flowers. Could we have known what was so soon to occur under that apple tree at Appomattox Court House in the com? monwealth of Virginia, our conflicting emotions would perhaps have been less in harmony with this lovely morning. But I was sick. There had been no abatement of fever and not desiring nourishment, I was languid and feeble. The perfeef quiet of the streets W?S actually oppressive and I longed to sec my phyaieiao or some one in the iowa, 1 but ai* -had (eft. Ooo luig?t have supposed that not ; wuksUuiding the ?nany report^ which ? W W MU ll ?MM? bad reached os, and the positive asst anees that an invading army was a proachiag, it was all a mistake. T day4|?#?HW and for hours there w Bothiajt^^wtk the perfect quiet dram or #fepet announced the im Towards noon my attention was ca ed to. two men on horse back approac ing Brooks (Main) Street, from the < dect?on^oi Sumter on the Pocatali ?'ro?nVrfrca?sed myself upon my elbe and it was a positive relief to my lon li ness, to see that they were Con fed? ate soldiers. But seeing them croat anxiety at once. There was nothing obstruct the view. A large uncul vated field was between my home ai this road, which enters Brooks Stre just above my home, it being the fii bouse as you come into the town fm fdirection of Sumter on the Pocati road. They were closely watch, as they rode leisurely along. . *Th seemed to be in no hurry. One carried a gun. The other ro a black horse. He did not appear have any arms. We, at least, did n observe any in his hand.' I remarked their horses looked jade and if I had had anyone to serve thei they should have been hailed and the horses fed. They rode by and pas? oar door. XXX The F. A. "excursion. WASHINGTON, D. C., Joly 17, 1886. Dear W. $ S. : At will appear from t date of this we are now at the Capitol the TJ. S., where we attired this morning 3.30, after a run bf about 16 boars fro Spartaabarg. Oar time since leaving- hot bas been so constantly occupied that I ba' not undertaken to write anything, and 1 wi therefore gire yo? a short sketch of the ei tire trip and of oar meeting-presuming th; oar friends at home feel enough interest i the Press Association to read it. The object of the Association is the et couragement and promotion of fraternal r lations, and the exchange of business viev between the publishers and editora of tl State, and also for the pleasure and soe? intercourse of their families-the latter beta a very drawing and equally soothing featur The Association convened in Spartanbur on the evening of Tuesday, July 13, an apon our arrival there at 3.15, we found tl larger part of the members already on ban so that the first business meeting waa bel that afternoon in the parlor of the Merchant Hotel, at which place we all made our hon while in Spartaabarg. We were then ti formed of the programme for the evening wbich was, a public reception aod address < welcome at the Opera House, and afterward a reception by the Ladies at the Kenned, Library Rooms. At 8.30 we repaired to the Opera Hons* a substantial and handsome brick building surmounted by a steeple and clock-not bell on which the hoars are struck by a pc liceman, bat a true-true clock with faces t ?bow the time on each side, and which strikt all the hoars of day and eight. The interic vf Jbe "Opera How i3 in ketring, with tl exterior, and ? was charmed alike* with it beauty, convenience and comfort. ^Xhe wal are arranged in semi-circle, and are condoi table ia shape-iron frames, with swingin] seats, which eau be tamed op against tb backs while not ta ase, thus making mor room for passiig ia and oat. The gallery ii also in semi-circular shape aad ornamenta tn appearance. Hon. Stanyarne, Wilson, being introduce*: by Capt. Petty {of the Spartan) made an ad dress of welcome tn behalf of the people ant city council of Spartaabarg, aad presentee as with the freedom of the city-placing everything at our command, we being re quested only not to interfere with the Mor? gan Monument or the running of the towi clock. Oar President, Major McSweeny, re? ?ponded briefly and is appropriate words, expressive of oar appreciation. From the Opera House we went to the Ken? nedy Library, when the Ladies had arranged to receive os ia a social way. Hete the tee was broken by a few words of welcome by Dr. Carlisle in which be requested all to pal aside formalities and mingle, making our? selves knowe without waiting for introduc? tions. Capt. T. H. Clarke of the Camden Journal, responded ia a few words of thanks, after which every one seemed to act opon Dr. Carlisle's suggestion, and it was not long be? fore everybody seemed acquainted. In th? meaetime social relations were promoted by a general enjoyment of Ice cream, kc. AB hoar or more was spent here very pleasantly, and when we separated for thc night we felt that we knew the people of Spartaabarg and io (act the personal acquaintances thoa began were continued to many instances dar ? lag oar stay. Thoa oar fit st evening in Spartaabarg WM principally occupied in ia? ! tercbaage of civilities. At oar business j meeting in the afternoon a sauber of tnvita I ti ons were received-the Board of Trade ten? dering as the ase of their room, in the Ken I ned y Library building, for oar meetings ; the Messrs. Simpson aod Simpson inviting us to go to Glenn Springs ; the President of the Asheville R. R. (just completed) inviting us to make a trip to Asheville, and several others-all of which were referred to a com? mittee. The first and last camed were ac? cepted aod, much to the regret of several, it was found inexpedient to accept the invita? tion to Glenn Springs-one of the principal reasons for ibis being the lack of time ; it appearing to be the general wish to avail oar selves of the low rate offered ns for a trip to Washington. It was arranged to have two business meetings-at 9? aad 3$ at the Board of Trade Room, and to have the Annual Ad? dress by our Orator Col. J. W. R. Pope (of the Register) at ll o'clock at the Opera House. I have not time to say more of Col. Pope's address than, that it was a review of South Carolina's history with some wholesome les? sons applied to journalists. It will be pub? lished in our miuutes The business meetings embraced discussions upon subjects pertaining to our business, cr>d were continued the next day, Thursday, at the meeting held in the forenoon, and the older members of the Association say that more has been accomplished in that respect than at any former meeting, lt has been much enjoyed by me, and while not able to make the comparison myself, I frei sure that much good will be accomplished if future meetings do as well. - In the afternoon of Wednesday the citizens of the city turaed out with their carriages and drove us around the city. Spartanburg has some handsome buildings and the streets are well kept aad the drive around was much en? joyed. At night we attended art entertainment by the Spartanburg Musical Association at the Opera House, and enjoyed one of ike ii nest. Musical treats we have had for many a day. it was an Oratorio entitled "Ruth." Twelve ladies and tea mea, all in oriental costume, personated the various characters, and I have heard but one expression as to the perfor? mance. Among the audience were several strangers, some of whom I uuderstood claim? ed to be able to criticise such performances I do not-and ihey were delighted. Thursday afternoon some of our party went up on the Asheville Road , but as a body we put off the trip on account of delay in the hour of leaving as expected. This disapoint ijient was compensated fur a hall got up by thejuunsr men of the town, and quite a pleasant time was had by those who could trip the light fantastic. lt bsd been decided upon at our meeting on Thursday; morning that the Association should make a substantial testimonial to our venerable CitA|&itf. Sidi Br?Wne, and a coin tuttte? was Hj?i*ioted for the purpose, in ac j curdauce t%?iii a Lieh a h^?dsome silver pitcher and goblet were procured and suita? bly engraved, and the presentation took place iu the hotel parlor on Friday morning. Col. J. A. Hoyt (of the Baptist Courier) made the presentation. The Chaplain was com? pletely surprised, and could not entirely con? ceal his emotion ; but those who know him can better imagine than I cao tell how calmly be stood seeming to be collecting bis powers, as it were; and although'he commenced bis response by saving that he was sorry he did not know words to express the feelings of his heart, yet bis language was so tender and feeling that mote than one of us could but acknowledge, ere he concluded with "how pleasant it is ?ot brothers to dwell together," ftc. that hw words Kad power to stir our feel? ings verr tender]/. The Association expressed its appreciation of its officers by re-electing them all for anoth? er year, vis:. "Major M, B. MeSweeney, of the Simpl?n Gnardian, president ; Capt. Charles Petty, of the Carolina Spartan, and Capt. T. H. Clarke, Of tbe Camden Journal, vice-presidents ; Hr. J. B. Bonner, of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian, secretary ; Major Frank If ei? chen, of the Deutsche Zeitung, treasurer, and the Rev. Sidi H. Browne of the Christian Neighbor, chaplain. The compliment of re? election was acknowledged io appropriate re? marks by the president, the vice-presidents and the chaplain. Mr. J. E. Bogga, of the Piekens Sentinel, wag elected the next annnal orator, with Mr. W. M. Jo net of the Spartan burg Herald, as alternate. Charleston was chosen as the next .place of meeting. Maj. Mcsweeney, surprised mott of the As? sociation by bringing his bride to the meet? ing-having been married on Monday morn tog, previous, to Miss Porche? of Hampton. She is mach admired by all both for her beauty and sweetness of manners. As before steted, we left Spartenburg on Friday afternoon. We have had a charming time.Since oor#arrival here. Col. T. Stobo Farrow, formerly of Spar tan burg, being ad? vised of oar coming, had arranged for our accommodation at special rates at the Metro? politan Hotel-a favorite House for Souther? ners-and the present quarters of Senator Hampton and Congressman Dibble. At 2} to-day we visited the White House and were presented to the President by Sena? tor Butler nnd Congressman H era phill. Have since visited the Capitol, and were waited upon by "Dode," George TUman, and Con? gressmanHemphill, Dibble and Perry who soe wed v a around. This evening we had a reception at the residence of Col. Stobo Far? row, where we met nearly all the S. C. Dele? gation and other friends. I woi'ld like to be able to write more, bot as we try to impress upon our correspondents to be brief, I will stop, with the remark that 1 have seen'very few good crops anywhere on the route, and more bad ones in our State than np abont here. Yours ?c., N. G. 0. Farmers' Tribulations. MT. Coo, July 23, 1886. Mr. Editor : We are going to quit Mt. Clio tribulations for the present, and join in the general chorus of Farmers' tribulations, only we take issue fairly and squarely as to the cause of these trouble?, and "?be manner of our going" to work to remove them. .Organization, when there are definite measures to be carried out and a definite point to be gained, definitely understood by each and every member of the organiza? tion, is all right and proper. If we are all right and the legislation and the taxes and appropriations and lien law and factors and merchants are all wrong, and that's "what the matter with Hannah," thea it's high time we were organized to battle for oar rights. Bat are these the facts? Are we an indus? trious, prudent, energetic, driving dasi, victims of class legislation and b?rdenseme acts? Now I dig my living out of a little patch which I oversee, (and if any man is any V?re? ?ff I hope he'll die quick) therefore I clauh ?he r??bt to do my whining my own way, I'm ^ot ?azy-have'nt a lazy bone aboat me-but 1 wai born tired, and it does take up so much thu? Sating rested that things get ahead of me. Tu? and the grass and the figgers-espev:*li/ toe "aggers." Then it takes more time to cu'-** at the figgers and the silver bill and protec? tion and evolution, and all the other ills that prevent me from devoting entire attention to my business and making better crops. When the law allows the factor or merchant to take a lien on my crop, and it licenses bar-rooms when it knows I'm weakly that way-and-yes our legisla? tors mast be watched. Field bands are used to it, and will work wimont watching. So we'll tara oar attention to the legislature. I know now what's the matter that terming don't pay. Kow let each farmer put this question to himself, cao I frame any bill which the legislature could constitutionally pass and place opon the Statue books that would reader me prosper?os without a radi? cal change in the mode, methods and manage? ment of my business? There's "Dew," now, wants "a Factor that will make our crops work out on the 'cruise of oil' plan." Well the days of Elijah have passed, and besides, Elijah only promised to advance to the widow until it should raia. Kow if "Dew" has not been sufficiently damp this season, I think the Legislature had best make an appropriation fora Wet Nurse. I want one myself, when these spells of "tired' ' come on, we all want ont. Farming is a dead failure now. Yet somehow during the war, wheu the acreage in Cotton was limited by the strong arm of the law, wheo haadreds of thousands of no n prodncing cormorants had to be fed in the army, betides the army of non-producers at homo ; notwithstanding the impressment Act and the thousand and one canses of complaint which we had; the country was fed, abundantly-fed and clothed with a plen? teousness unheard of now.- How so ? Every individual was simply compelled to rely en? tirely upon his or her own resources ; every farm upon upon it's own productions. Every farm house became the seat of many small hut varied industries ; everything was util? ized, and lastly and mostly every one work? ed. Will any one venture to say that farm? ing, as a business, does'nt pay, when it pays a premium of 50 to 100 per cent, oa advances to run it about 4 months of the year? There is no king cure all for our ills. Re? forms may be and doubtless are, needed, bot without firm resolve and determined indivi? dual effort to "change our ways" reforms will come to naught. Apply the question of free trade for instance, and suppose we could buy our tools, implements, blankets and clothing at half price. Would that materially better our general condition? Would the value of our lands ba enhanced or their fertility increased ? Would we be an j more able to diversify our farm products than now, or to obtain better prices for them? In short, would we come any nearer to a bale of cotton, lo the acre and an abundance of farm products even if we got the protected articles for nothing. Yet free trade may be all right and so may be ninny other reforms that would directly ur indirect? ly benefit the general condition and they are questions that should not bc ignored. If the Lien law is oppressive there is thc "Land loan" man with his arms wide open to us, and his mouth too. Least ways I take it for a mouth as I think f see teeth 'way back about 5 yea.-I mennyard?-off. How until some agricultural Moses cnn show inc a little more pl-tin ly thin heretofore how these re? forms are going to make me prosperous, and keep me from getting up so soon in the morn? ing and staying up so long ata time; how they can tend to a more economical expendi? tures of sweat, or give me more time 4o rest my "tired," I'm poins to remain a roaring heathen (R) evolutionist. Mr. Editor, if you or any one hear of any fellow bein? bushwacked or kukluxed any where it's roe. GUV. p. 8.-The Mt. Clio Farmers club was or? ganized at Reid's Mill, on Saturday 17th instant.

SUMTER COUHTY, S. C., Jury 23, 1886. To Lawyers, Doctors, Merchants-Way ward Brethren : We hare a grievous charge to make against yon. Our wrongs are many, and oar woes innumerable ; io stand at this bar and listen to our affidavit. Instead of at? tending to your briefs, your pills, nod your calico, you have, wich malice aforethought and felonious intent, held all the offices in County and State ; and have been running this government to the great de triment of ns as a class ; and that "We" are material witness? es to the above allegation. Are yon guilty or not guilty ? Oh I you say the farmers stood under yon in a solid body and pushed yon up into office ; and so yon propose to make the farmers accessories to your great crime. Bat we intend to prove the case against' yon be? fore we get through. Do you dare to look in our faces with all the innocence of an in? jured lamb, and ask how you have injured us? Jost look at these battered bats and patched coats and breeches, .you purple acid fine linen dudes ! While you have been sit? ting down on your flowery beds of ease, os happy as frogs in a freshet, we have been bear? ing the heat and borden of the day, trying to make our living by the sweat of our brow -or the sweat of the nigger's brow which amounts to the same thing. And the half | has not been told yet. Why haye you not legislated in the interest of bigger cotton crops, and better prices? Why have yon al? lowed our corn cribs and meat houses to re? main to far from home ? ls it Tour love for the darned yankee? And then look st that part of our physical anatomy by which the factor bolds ns with our heads between his legs; yes, we say look at the enormous inter? est he charges, bis high commissions, besides his storage, his sampleage and bis stealage. Why is this thus? Why have you not reme? died these great evils? Why have you not given us our needed reforms ? The Lord knows we need something and we'd take al? most any thing we could get. And again it has been said that when you go to the legis? lature you do all the talking, and our farmer representatives have to take back seats, and the only sound that is ever heard from them is the popping of pindera, and the only time they ever open their mouths is when they throw one in and chaw. And they have even been compared to that servant which the hus? bandman sent into his field to hoe cotton, and, verily, because he was not watched, be did shirk his work and do nothing gener? ally. But we propose to send another batch this time, and if they don't do better, we'll in? struct them to organize themselves intoajoint stock company and ''corner" the pinder mar? ket. And now we feel it oar duty to rise up in our might and do something to relieve os of th is terrible barden of oppression The poor farmers of the State must have their taxes re? duced and their expenses in every respect lightened, and in order to the accomplishment of this great and good object, we propose to begin by building an Agricultural and Me? chanical College-cost what il nay. And we here intend to educate only those sons who promise to tread in tbe same furrow their fathers trod ; and no son of a "professional" shall ever find an entrance there. Yes, we intend to build it if it takes thirty years to finish it; and though the most of us may be buried under the sod and onr farms buried ander mortgages and the nails drivea into their coffins by the sheriff's hammer, still we'll leave it as a monument to our good in? tentions. And then our children will rise up and call us a blessed-pack of fools. Well the jury have agreed upon a verdict and they find you guilty, and not only guilty of holding all the offices, and running the government, but you have been moaiug it in ^terest of tbe whole State, and not of us as a c?*'*^ ^icb greatly aggravates your of? fense. W* 'Nrefore condemn and sentence you to be bang*? 1,0 entirely out of the reach of office on tbefour^ ."V of next November, and may not a farmer in 'he State have any mercy on you. Waywaro bathers, go in peace. Farewell, a sad farewell. You have been wanderers from th? to]C| We'll cow leave you out in the cold. Tibuoxrrzs. Our Exchanges. The Southern Bivouac for August will con? tain an article by E. Polk Johnson, telling of a recent visit made to Mr. Davis at Beau? voir.

(J, Furman of Ga., the distinguished intensive Farmer, advises that, 'when you give your cotton the last sweeping, you drill peas io the middle of each row, and apply with them about two to three hundred pounds of ash element to the acre. The peas will grow off rapidly, will prevent washing, will not interfere with the opening or picking of cotton, will protect the lower bolls against dirt and will give you a magnificent coat of humus as a manure for your iaod.' If you want Ash Element or manures of any kind, write to the Ashley Phosphate Company. All their goods are first class. The State of South Carolina COUNTY OF SUMTER. By T. V.
