His full record will ap? pear soon in this paper. How to Kill Hawks. The Privateer correspondent of the Xevx and Courier says : "Mr. John Nichols basa plan for killing hawks which has proved a successful one. As the time for spring chick? ens is arriving and many farmers throughout the State will be worried by hawks, I give the plan : Take a little crude turpentine fresh from the tree and mix it with pulverized strychnine, then make a thick paste of the mixture and smear a little right on top of the chicken's head with a penknife.'' Pire. About four o'clock on last Sunday morn? ing Gen. E. W. Moise's stable and barn con? taining two hundred bushels of corn, ten bushels of peas, ten bushels of rice flour, several hundred pounds of fodder with other forage, a zinc bath tub, a fine Texas pony, cost one hundred dollars, and also a full blooded Jersy bull were destroyed by fire. The barn and stables were insured for one hundred dollars each. At the lowest estimate Gen Moise has lost five hundred dollars by the fire. Capt. W. R. Dewar's barn and stable which adjoined those of Gen. Moise were also des? troyed by the same agency. No insurance. Fortunately,though. Capt. Delgar's thorough? bred colt (which was exactly two years old ou the morning of the fire) was saved without injury. The fire was evidently the work of an in? cendiary as tracks and a crutch near the place destroyed confirms this belief beyond a doubt. We bope hope that this clue will be the means of bringing the guilty person, whoever it may be, before the Court of General Ses? sions iu May, and a conviction secured. 5-Cent Counter Can be found at Scaffe's, and new goods being placed on it eTery week.

Sunday School Celebration. At the Church of the Holy Comforter on Sunday evening next at 8 o'clock, the child? ren of the Sunday School will celebrate their Easter by an appropriate service. The order of exercises will be as follows : A processional hymn, during which the children will march into the Church. Then there will be prayers, followed by the reading of a lesson from Holy Scripture. Then a carol, followed by the Rector's address. Then another carol, followed by the presentation of the offerings, the children having been "saving up" their peunies all during Lent. This will be followed by another carol and the ben? ediction. Offerings will also be received from the congregation, but no one need feel obliged to give; only those who are entirely willing. The offerings go to the general Mission Board to be dispensed as they think best. Ushers will be at the door to seat those who wish it. It is* particularly requested that there shall be no gathering befcre or near the door as that will interfere seriously with the marching cf the school. Mayesville. The macy advantages and attractions of the town of Mayesville eic: te the admiration of j all who visit it. The future of this charming tows is no longer questioned by the skeptical. | The citizens have turned their attention lo- j ward improving and beautifying the town in ?v?rT way possible, and nothing is more in? dicative of the steady progress of the place than the improved character of the dwelling houses that have been erected in Mayesville during the past few years. This is the best evidence ot the steady growth of the town and this belief is strengthened when we take into account the fact that the dwellings have not been built for speculation, but in nearly every case they are occupied by their owners, and thus an important addition has been made not only to the value of real property but also to the population of the town of the most respectable and desirable clsss of citi? zens. This constant addition to the number of dwellings in that town has naturaliy en? hance* the value of desirable building lots and hi.: made Mayesville a subject of import? ance and interest to all those who are seeking a desirable place in which to reside. The health, climate, the advantages of the town and the surrounding country are admirable and they will sooner or later be the potent j influences that will induce others to locate in \ tb*t section. The mercantile interests are well represented \ in Mayesville by its enterprising merchants who are doing business with stocks of goods of all descriptions and who caa afford to com? pete with the trade of any town of its size or larger ic the State. The improvemeat in the character of the merchandise offered for sale has been marked of late years, and the trade of the place baa increased toa sufficient ex- j tent to render necessary the establishment o? different stores devoted to special lines of j merchandise, such as drugs, groceries, dry j goods, etc. The old time country store is a i thing of the past tn Mayesville. The result . ?3 that the articles offered for s?le there cora- j pare favorably in quality aud price with those ! that can be obtained anywhere. Among the various important improve- ! menta in Mayesville is that of a good hotel and which is moei. conveniently sinmted for the traveling public. The Salem Mills, the property of Capt. J. E. Atkins, and the raiils of Col. Samuel Graham are another bulwark of strength to Mayesville, and have added no tittle to the material prosperity of the town. The citizens of Mayesville are blessed with good churches, and while on this sub? ject, the fact may be mentioned that the Pres? byterians have nearly completed their temple of worship which will undoubtedly be the ! handsomest edifice of its kind in the County. Mayesville is also blessed with a most excel? lent Academy conducted by Prof. Spencer. The unbounded hospitality of the citizens and the social feature of the town are some of I its conspicuous charms. On last Friday | evening a dramatic entertainment was given i by the young ladies and gentlemen of Mayes- . ville and the home talent acquitted themselves most handsomely and their performance was \ very much enjoyed and highly complimented by all present. We sincerely hope that their ! success on that occasion will induce them to j repeat in a similar manner in tho near future, i Fruit of Loco at 0c. at F. Levi's.

Letter from Guv. GREGG'S X ROADS, March 24, 1883. Mr. Editor : Our usual communication for this week has been interfered with bj a some? what severe attack of-er-Verbum Sat. This attack was made, we suspect, with the same weapon which Samson used in slaying his tens of thousands. We have ever endeavored to avoid "grating harshly upon thc feelings" of anyone whether they "reverence the Sa? cred Scriptures" or no, but as there is such great diversity in these things called "feelings" we have doubtless done so often and are there? fore in the position, somewhat, of a good man who once said "God can't please some people and I needn't hope to." If Verbum Sat reads the secular issues of the day his feelings must be grated by this time into a potato pone, or then his reading is very limited. We "reverence the Sacred Scriptures" in our owo way, justas Verbum Sat does in his own way. ("Every man shall receive his own re? ward according to his own labors."-I Cor. III, 8.) We did not intend or attempt to ridicule any portion of them. We cast no donbt upon them, nor did we attempt to twist and strain their meaning so as to fit them to our own peculiar sect or denomination which may be more ?han Verbum Sat can say. "Who ts Paul and who is Apollos" * * "So then neither is hetbatplanteth anything, neither he that watereth."-I Cor., Ill, 5, 7. Now in that case we cant see that our simple reference can be so much. We used the ref? erence to represent our 1 "serious" condition and if Verbum Sat is any more "serious" than we are over here just now he must have had a tidal wave and a big one, for Apollos has watered ns again. It grates on our feel? ings to say so, but it's so. We agree with his friend Johnson (Dr. Jobnsou is no doubt a good man and intends well and if he's a good doctor we wish he'd come and practice some over here, we need him bad) but ours was not "a mode of merri? ment," very far from it, besides we don't claim to be "a good roan." We are a sinner and a very poor sinner at that. (If Verbum Sat is a really genuine good man we'd like to make bis acquaintance just to get a good-look at him ) We furthermore disclaim any pre? tensions whatever to being "a witty man," but have all our life wished we had some wits about us, therefore we can't feel guilty of the charge, by implication, of "profanity" and "vulgarity." And now, in conclusion, we'll say, if Verbum Sat is any closer kin to Pani and Apollos than we are, or if he can prove any claims upon us to "reverence the Sacred Scriptures" according to the rigidity of his own peculiar cast iron views, or if he can even prove that bis "daily walk and Conver? sation" conform always with his professed reverence we'll give it up and never mention Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas either, any more. Until then we can only advise him to be less "serious" or to cease reading anything here? after written by Gcv. Mann ville Items. MACSVILLE, S. C., March, 2H, 1888. The prospect of planting corn is very goomy in this rainy weather. A good many of our neighbors have planted but the farmers are afraid their corn will rot in the ground before it comes up. Fox hunting is the order of the night. Public schools are fast closing, but in the ones that are still running the teachers are nearly crowded out Week before last the Browntown school and Piedmont school played a game of base ball, Piedmont winning. There is a branch of the Bishop?ille Rail? road near here that extends as far as Mr. W. K. Crosswell's woods. The car can carry 40 logs a load and some days they make two trips. The logs are hauled down to Atkins where they are sawed and shipped to different parts of the country. When they 3re through Mr. Crosswell's woods they will extend the road to Mrs. Wil? liam Scarborough's woods of 1,000 acres. Messrs. Berry k Co. have about thirty-six mules hauling stock logs to the railroad and they are kept busy for they can't keep up with the car. This section finds the Bishopville Railroad a great convenience for hauling goods and cotton. S. S. J. II.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA PENITENTIARY' BOOT Al ? FACTORY, Had the most successful bosiness last year of any in its history. The growth of its busi? ness has been truly remarkable. From very small beginnings it has assumed almost gi? gantic proportions and its goods are found in the stores of almost every merchant in thia State and Georgia. Its mail orders are large and parties once supplied with a line of its goods invariably continue their patronage. Nearly six years of constant, strict attention to details, endeavoring ta every instance tr meet the demands of consumers, it is now reaping its reward.
