" A JUST CONCESSION. - The Farmers of this State need an Agricultural College. ? separate acd distinct institution from the South Car? olina CoHege. The establishment of whichj will be for the exclusive bene? fit of agriculture and the mechanic arts. They don't want a half-and-half concern or *aa annex* as it is politely termed. .They w^nt it straight and not mixed. Why can't they have it ? Mis - sissippi and Michigan have theirs in successful operation. The establish? ment of euch an institution in Sooth Carolina for the * Farmers7 Boys' would ? be?a just concession to the tax-paying interest of the State and it can be found? ed easy enough if the Phosphate royal? ty and other revenue be appropriated for that purpose. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. The House calendar contained 167 bills brought over from last session. Many of these have already been dis? posed-of. Those of most interest tc the general public, will now be outlined. - The bill to repeal the Lien Law caused some discussion, but was ani? mately killed by a vote of 67 to 36. The bill to amend the game law caused quite a discussion. The object of the bill, it was said, was to insert the word 'quail' in the list of protected birds, the idea being that the present law was evaded- by people who cali par? tridges quails. The b?l as passed closes the season for all game birds from April 1 to No rember 1 : the close of the season for -doves is from March 1 to August 1, The House has parsed a bill which -makes it a cri mic ai offence for trial jus? tices to receive any fees or to divide the constable's fees in any criminal case, whether the case is actually tried or j compromised or transferred, under a j . penalty of ?50 /to $100 or imprison- j ment of tfiirty days to six months.

The village of Sumterville began to be built about the }ear 1800. In 1806, it was pro? posed by Jno. B. Miller to bis landlord and others in the family, that an effort be made to have preaching on the Lord's day. The prop? osition WHS favorably received, and Bro. Jno. W. Roberts was engaged to preach in the vil? lage a part of the time for this and the two following years. The Court House was used as the place of worship, where large congre? gations frequently assembled. Bro. R. M. Todd succeeded Bro. Roberts, and preached about a year. Bro. Davis Collins followed Bro. Todd, and preached about the same length of time. Bro. Belcher then supplied the place for nearly two years. Then came brethren J. MrKellar, J. Good, A. Morris, Layton Jones and Morton. In 1814 or 1815 J. B. Cook commenced preaching here, and continued until the beginning of 1822. In 1813, the ?.embers of the High Hills Church, who lived in and near the village, were formed into a branch of the High Hills Church. In 1817, a subscription was opened to build a house of worship, which was com? pleted and opened for service in 1820. In this year, the branch Church wa3 constituted into an independent Church by Brethren W. B. Johnson, J. B. Cook and B. Compere. The Church was admitted imo the Charleston As? sociation the same year. On the 31st of March, 1822, Bro. Jno. L* Miller, who had been baptized in 1822, wa3 ordained deacon, and the number of members gradually increased from 24 to 81. The first meeting of the Charleston Asso? ciation with tba Sumter Church was io 1822. The Association Sermon was preached by Dr. Forman from Rev. i : 20 As early as 1829, this Church proposed to the Association that it should divide itself into two bodies. ID 1877 the division was effected -a number of delegates -from different Churches meeting with the Sumter Church, and applying to the Charleston Association for letters of dismission in order to organize tbeSantee Association. The present house of worship was begun in 1853 and completed and dedicated in 1854. Following are the names of Pastors and their dat?s of service since its organization1 : 1814-1822 J. B. Cook. 1823-1834 Jesse Hartwell. 1835-1837 J- Du Pre. 1838 R. Furman. 1839-1846 J. DuPre. 1847-1848 T. W. Mellicharap. 1S49 N. Graham. 1850-1853 S.

Hughson, M. D. W. J Pringle M. D. Wm. M. Graham. THE PASTORATE OF REV. C C EROWX. Rev. C C. Brown came to Sumter OD the 1st of Jannary, 1875, at the age of twenty two. The Church theo had eighty members. It now has two hundred and ten names OD its roll. In 1877 Mr. Brown organized the San tee Association which is composed of all the churches on this side of the Santee with one or two exceptions. The first year of organ? ization, the donations of the churches to benevolence increased as 13 to 1. In 1883 the congregation desired to build a parsonage, and Mr. Brown was instrumental in raising the sum of one thousand dollars as a nucleus for that purpose, and in a few moDths the parsonage was built and occupied. Under Mr. Brown's ministry his congregation has grown larger each year. It is now larger than ever. The Church is now io perfect peAce and is io a most flourishing condition. At? tention is paid to the poor, and the Church raises four hundred dollars yearly for mis? sions and general benevolence. Mr. Brown is one of the most promising ministers in the State. He possesses a won? derful imagination which is of incalculable value to any minister io the portraiture of his sermons in order that every thought and idea intended to be conveyed to the minds of his hearers may be grasped and appreciated by the lowest order of intellects. Mr. Brown's delivery is easy and delightful to listen to. Last year Mr. Brown received three urgent calls. One to Grand Island, Neb.; the other to Milledgeville, Ga.; the third to Hot Springs Ark. Hie refusal to accept any of these calls is the very best evidence of his j great love and interest for the welfare he has | so deeeply manifested for his congregation, j May he ni way, remain with us until the all wise Providence sees fit to call him hence to : glory. - m rm ? ? LI- - Corbett's Mill Items. IONIA, S. C., NOV. 25, 1S87. Mr.. Editor : We are nearly through gath? ering crops, but the yield is somewhat shorter than anticipated. The best potato crop made in our neighborhood was produced by Mr, J. W. Saiitli, of Ionia. He gathered from 2? acres twenty bunks of fine potatoes. If the hoe had been used instead of the plow in gathering them at least a third more would have been banked. I attended the Farmers' Meeting on 21st instaut. It was a sorry turuout. It seems hard to move the farmers, although they are great men to grumble and complain ; but ' still they make no effort to help themselves, j The establishment of an: Agricultural College j seems tobe the thing most desired at present. Bul suppose it is established. How many of j the poor farmers' boys will ever go to it? i Nut one out of e-'ery hundred. Another thing, farming em't be learnt in j four vears. It we undertake to work by a regular system, we are sure to make mistakes of the worst kind. What the farmers of our I County and State need Ls a general reforma ! Mon in home matters. There is no doubt about il that a great many (hines ought to he done. If we would organize farmers' clubs in every township and discuss questions of j economy, gieat would he the result. Mrs. S. A.

We havea primer entitled f?A Modern Won? der" which sets forth with singular fulness and brevity what is going to be in Wide Awake for a year ahead. The primer is not very long. The title pages are easy to read. But, lt holds such wealth of learning and entertainment, you wonder how so much can be got into a dozen months ; and vet you read on the title page that the half is not told. It is a wonder ! Wide Awake is a veritable library, changing from moDth to month and from year to year, and always growing bet? ter apparently. But what we can't under? stand is how they can put so much money into it and pay so much for getting subscribers. The Holiday number contains the Premium List of 32 pages. They give a boy or girl who gets subscribers almost as much in his choice of two or three hundred tlrinrrs as the money he sends amounts to !
