The Methodist Chnrch will take np a col? lection the 2nd Sunday io Oct. for the benefit of the churches in Charleston. The Baptist Sunday School collected $17 80 last Sunday for the Charleston churches. The church added enough to make the ; amount $50. A. A. Solomons bas a handsome assort? ment of goods, and ihey are cheap. Death. Mrs. Margaret M. DeLorme, relict of the late Wm. M. DeLorme, died at the home of ber daughter, Mrs. J. C.

Taber, of Summerville, died at the residence of Mr. J. T. Frierson, last night. Mr. Taber and fami? ly are earthquake refugees, and the exposure on that Tuesday night of horror 'caused the j death of bis child. Mr. Joe Wilder, son of the late Joseph M. Wilder cf our town, died in Texas about a week ago. Religious. Kine converts were baptized Sunday even? ing at the Baptist Church in"Sumter, and two candidates received for baptism. The Church was densely crowded. Rev. B. C. Larnpley, aided by Rev. G. W. Bussy, has had a most interesting protracted meeting at bis Churches. In a private note from Mr. Larnpley he says that sixteen were baptized Sunday at Bethel, and seven were received as candidates for baptism at Home Branch. Rev. D. C. Hardin has baptized 45 converts at Cedar Creek in Bishop vi! Ie Township, and near 80 at Antioch in the last few weeks. He has also taken in about 30 at Hickory Head in Kershaw. Mr. Kershaw will preach at Stateburg next Sunday morning, D. V. Sumter's Cotton Market. The Sunter Cotton Market has never been better, and we think our town offers induce? ments superior to most of the inland towns of the State. Farmers can hot do better than bring their cotton to Sumter, and we are glad to say that they seem to agree with us, as the cotton buyers report a larger patronage than eyer before. To show what Sumter is doing in the matter of paying big prices we will mention that the same grade of cotton which was quoted it 8| to Sf in Charleston yester? day, sold for 8-f in Sumter. --- Something New. The Juvenile Missionary Society of the Methodist Church at Bishopville will give a Harvest Home and Fruit Gathering entertain? ment, Thursday, October 12th, at 8 o'clock P. M.

Scsffe's house on Main Street is rapidly approaching completion, and v?benj finished will be a most convenient store as j well as dwelling bouse. Frot? Saluda to Sumter. Co?. J. S. Richardson who has been spend ing some weeks at Saluda, returned to Sum ter last week, making the trip through io his buggy. He passed through parts of Spartan burg, Union, Chester, Fairfield and Kershaw Counties, and enjoyed a fine opportunity of inspectiag the growing crops. He says that from Saluda to Glenn's they were very fine. It is a magnificent farming country, and the cotton fields, which reached the very foot of the mountains, were all that the husbandman could desire. In fact, all the crops were very good. After passing Glenn's, the pros? pect was not so encouraging. Both cotton and corn were inferior, and but few good crops were seen. We remember passing along part of the same route some years ago, and judging from the appearance of the fields "thought a famine would result, but as none occurred, we sop pose the crops on the road are not fair sam? ples of what those farmers could make. Col. Richardson enjoyed bis vacation very much. Mrs. R. is still at Saluda. "Guv." Contrasts Candidates and Yaller-Leg Chickens. MT. CLIO, S. C., Sept. 25, 1886. Mr. Editor : The pleading voice of the can? didate is boshed in the land. Also the plain? tive cry of the yaller-leg chicken. The one was an unwilling the other a willing sacrifice unto the interests of "the dear people." Therein they differed, but alike in this res? pect that there are few survivors of either breed. The present surviving yaller legs were high roosters, you may be sure, and the surviving candidates are good crowers DO doubt. The commotion produced by the political quake ou the 11th instant has subsided with that of the earthquake. The one destroyed many brick houses, the other wrecked many air castles. Gas was perhaps as powerful a factor in the one as in the other, though the results on the 11th acted with such thun? der bolt effect on some of the candidates that they might naturally attribute it to electricity. You say the earthquake "js a well-worn subject" wish we felt like you then Mr. Editor; but we don't. The quake don't wear worth a cent, it's we that's the well worn subject. In broad day it doe3 very well, but at night, along about 9.50, especial? ly Tuesday nights-no it don't wear much. We wish it had worn to a frazzle before it ever got here, but now since it bas come the only good it could do hs would be to open a very wide and deep chasm all along some? where between us and the blamed cotton fac? tors though we greatly fear there'll be a chasm anyway, or some sort of unfilled vacuity between us, if cotton don't pan out better. It ts really surprising what a large number of unknown scientists we've had in our midst, latent se*s-seez-(We have only Johnston's Dictionary by us, it is an old Dictionary and this a very young word. In fact we don't believe it's over about three weeks old) seize mologists will do, for they seize every known and unknown idea, argument and theory as to the cause of and from where the quake came. We have no theory about it or about evolution either. We don't care where it came from, we want to know where its going to. (We don't care where we came from either, it's the other end we're interested in.) Som?? want to suggest remedies, and one is to boic holes in the world aod let out thegasses. Well they shant bore about our place. (Gas enough escapes around here now) we won't even punch her hard with a walking stick. We would rather try a bot poultice or some? thing soothing. Well we've got a number of new wrinkles within the past few weeks. Are not partial to new wrinkles either, rather get rid of the old wrinkles we've got. We've tried hard to get what we call our mind off from this subject and hope to be able to do so when the moon changes. Don't know anything else that will help us. The weather is now fine for cotton picking and the staple is opening as fast as-as those crevices and fissures we read so much about. It's no go, Mr. Editor, you must excuse UF, but really this is the best world we ever were in and it gets us badly when she goes back on us this way ; but we intend to stay until our lust breath.

Because it will aid you more than anything else in acquiring knowledge. Because it will serve you in case of misfortune. "How can it be learned?" By the aid of a book studied nt home and lessons by mail from an accomplished teacher. "At what expense ?" The trifling sum of $6 00, including book. "Why so cheap when Colleges advertise the same course of instruction for $25? Because a new text-book is used that re? duces the labor of learning proportionately to the difference in price by the system being made simpler than heretofore and more prac? tical, besides being the most popular method, having the indorsement of our Congressional and professional reporters everywhere, togeth? er with over 1000 graduates of our Chain of Phonographic Colleges.
