This is fine weather for Salamanders and can didates. They and tbey alone enjoy travel ing about in such weather. Insure your lives, geotlemen, wear cabbage leaves in the crown of your hat, avoid excitement and aqua, mirabilis, and you will get through all right. President Cleveland is so stout that he can not sit cross-legged. So says a gentleman whose veracity is unimpeacn~Me, and who is, like the Chevalier Bayard, a nan -'without ?fear and .without reproach." There is no doubt that in such weather as bis, the Pres ident, like many another fello v, would like to adopt Sidney Smith's .<*d.Io:, i. e., take off !

As for onrseIv?3 we will simply say that, we instituted inquiry irito our correspondent's j reputation, and learned that he is a represen tative Democrat of Wilhamsburg, having sat | in their recent County Convention, and a man of good repu'e A9 onr correspondent attacked Mr. Giltand in his official relations only, and aa he i3 candidate for office, we ; looked upon our publishing it as involving BO persona! attack on Mr. Gi?and, and as i affording him an opportunity to refute it | publicly, should he deem, it of sufficient im- i portance to meet it io that manner.

We are pained to hear of the death of the youngest son of the Rev. A. J. Stokes, P. E. of the Marion District. The sad event oc curred in .Marion where the family r?sides, on Tuesday, Aug. 7th. Mrs. Emma C. Doar, wife of John W. Doar, of Choppee, Georgetown. County, died at her home on Monday, July'30th, of hem orrhagic fever. Mrs. Doar was ah estimable lady of high Christian character, who had done well her part in life. Her death is sin cerely mourned, and leaves a'roid'in the fara sly-e?rcle which can never be filled.

The protracted meeting at Zoar resulted i= the accescion of fifty members. Bev. W. b. Duncan has availed himself of tbe vacation granted him by his peuplera nd leaves this week to visit bis home in York County. It is very probable he will visit some het?rn resort in North Carolina before returning. He Will return the last of this month. Campaign Notes. The frst-meetiog of the County campaign took place yesterday at Bishopviflc. We have heard "none of the particulars of .the meeting but I: was as red bot politically as the temperature was yesterday, they-must have had a warm* time. We advise the boys to^keep cool. - ? 'ii ? "Sparona Essora. "Such is the botanical name of. a splendid, rose grown by Capt. *3?ichau in this County.

As a matter of information to those Of our readers who may be interested, we extract from tbe Vtnd?c?ibr of New Orleans and At lanta, an Insurance paper, the intelligence ibat State Auditor Ward " of ?>a"kota'has is sued hi3 official notice pronouncing the Northwestern Mutual, of Wahpeton, Dakota, a defunct company. This puts an end to all doubt on the subject. The Patrick Military Institute, The new catalogue of t?its well known educational institute may be bad by address ing the principal, Capt. John -B.

That Proposed Well. % We agcin beg to call our City council's at tention to the need of a public well and pump in the lower part of Main St. There really is a need for stfcb a convenience, and it would be gladly welcomed by the residents of that vicinity. It costs but little, and can not therefore be objected to on the score o"f economy. A horse trough should be added, as there is a large travel to tted "fro In that direction. ;Thanks ! We beg to return our thanks to the Secre tary of tbe Columbia Gun Club, Mr. W. E. Gonzales, for an'invitation to attend its an nual shooting tournament on Aug. 14, 15, and 16. Clay pigeons and live, birds will be used in the tourney. W-e are not too chicken hearted or pigeon-breasted to shoot at clay pigeons bulwedrww tbclinest tbe live birds. We presume, there will be pigeon pie for somebody "after the match. _ ???? Re-TJnion of Company R The annual re-union of this famous eld company of weteranswho belonged to tbe 2d S C. V., kfcotfa as Kersbaw's regiment was held at the Guignard Richardson place in the outskirts of tbe city to-day. There was quite a large attendance of the members who en joyed themselves socially, and partook of an elegant barbecue before breaking up. We go to press before ascertaining the names of*tbe officers elect for the eosning year. An Enterprising Rogue.

Editor : As the sun rose upon the east ern horizon this morning and tried in vain to force his rays of brightness through the dense fog that hung If?te a funeral pall over this beautiful section, we isrnpd to our friend J. S. FoUs of Lynchburg (who owing to his enormous circumference was occupying three i fourths of the bed) and after gating upon his handsome face, ana spring how profoundly he was wrapped in the arms of Morpheus, we softly rose, leaving cur fnend undisturbed, while we began spricif*g o*? for the pic nie aud match gar?e of ball between the Wedge field and Providence Teams to come off a: ] W. D. Scarborough place, near Tir'sah j church. We expected our girl to be thett, i and as a matter of course the sprucing was i most elaborate indeed. We finally arouiedi the "sleeping beauty" who consumed such j an unconsciooable time at bis toilet, thai we ] were forced to expostulate. At last we arrived on the grounds our faces wreathed in smiles and hearts beating as only young hearts can in anticipation of pleasures expected on such an occasion. Tbe first feature of the programme was passing around tbe "Taffy,'' then music by Messrs. J. D. Kyers and Mood Brown. First part rehearsed, after which music was almost continually discoursed !o appreciative listen ers. At two o'clock, dinner was announced and repairing to the table, we found it laden with massive heaps of good things, excellent in their abundance. After dinner "rehearsed" until 4 o'clock when game was called. Wedgefield first to the bat, was struck out. Providence took j the ?tick and scored two. On the .second in ning Wedgefield failed to score and the cheer ing was deafening. Bright eyes flashed ad miring glances.a.: tbe Providence boys, who returned their looks of unspeakable joy. At the finish tbe scopes stood -13 to 0 in favor of Providence, tbe home tenm not taking the nin;h inning. ?eadon Dei gar umpired the garao-to toe cntire satisfaction of the clabs and -pectators. To the credit of the boys of both c?ub3. be it aid that not one harsh or j angry word was spoken during the game, j We returned to the house of Mr. and Mrs. ; B. 0. Chambers whose hospitable doors had 1 been tfvrown wide open all day, and after lis- j iening again to the music until the sun was sinking law in the western sky, we took our : departure, having spent one of tbe most en joyable daysof our life. And now as we sit m ibe gloaming thinking of f-tbe girl we left > behind us," we close. Yours truly, F&ITS. 1 THE OLD CHURCH SPEAKS. "The old Church, sanctified by many hal lowed memories, is rapidly -disappearing frorn its present site. It is to be pat up again in the country and will continue to be used a9 a Church."? W. ? S. Aug I. I'm too o-ld-fashion'd and dingy To soitryour aesthetical taste3 ; So you drag me off to the country, To fill evangelical wastes. Is it thus you tresran old friend, When you put on your new city airs ? Does my homespun apparel offend? It was "good enough" once, it appears. I've "outlived my rs?fulness," eh? Yes. such is the fate of us all, Who will not "peg cut" when you say, Who will neither burn, rot nor fall. I've "seen my best day"??So have yon ; Can you call back tbe'frnkyon days, When charity, simple aV.d true, Abounded in worship and praise? You've got a grand organ, they say? Dear shade of H. Dingle appear? That's for music ; but how when you pray ? Fine houses won't bring the Lord near. "I've seen my best days"? Thsy&'firegood ; When my seats were-f.lled with the poor, "In purse and heart; and publicans stood, With look downcast, within my door.

Mr. 'Editor : We are having a series of dry weather, we haven't had a real good rain since the first of June. Have had some every week, but very light. Gorn is very short, and cotton is not near what it out to be, so you see our speculatiocs are broken. ? But still tber* is something that prompts us to hope. What it is'I can't right ly tell. It may be to keep our credit up ; bnt hope don't pay for corn and bacon. Some advise us to plant less cotton and more corn, and raise more meat ; bat-bow can we. make corn without rain, and now can we raise meat without corn. ^7e hare a few hogs but our corn is so short that I can't see how we will fatten them without our peas and potatoes make well, and if if continues dry they also will be a failure. So I have come to the conclasion that" this is a hard worid to live in, especially for vhe fermer. Mr. J. F. Matthews is nearly laid up from the effects of a red bug bite ; but it has not affected his singing faculties for be is teaching, a singing school at Salem. Candidates keep the 'dust'rferng'io this dry, land of ours. Those that can't see us, write to us. Some of them I reckon think we don't., take the W. ? S.

C, Aug. 2, 1888. . Mr. Edit??: This section has not bad a good rain S'nce 1st June, bet showers hnve kept the crops from suffering too severely from drongth. Corn ic better than it prom ised sometime ago. Cotton will need fain from now on to make an average crop. There is nothing new about here to write up. Politics are all the go. The candidates visit us often. We are glad to see him. He is so polite and friendly in his greeting that you will Tike him in spite of yourself. The Santec Baptist Union met with the Pisgah church last Friday and continued until Sunday evening. All the churches wer? represented and a most interesting meeting was held. The discussions on the various questions "were interesting and animating. The sentiment of the Uoioa .is against sup porting men for office v. hc ^riok li?uor, and 'I thhrh this seo-timent wi'l be "carried out.; Measures will be put forth to enlarge the work of the ?nion. Rev. N. B. Williams of Bishopvilie wac present and won golden' opinions from his brethren. He lectured Saturday night, by request On Chich, and preached a grand sermdn on Sunday to an immenseaudience. The next Union will go to Bishopvilie. At its close Rev. D. C. Hard in commenced a meeting of days with the church with some success up to date. He is assisted by Joshua Davis, a young ministerial student. Mr. Hardin preaches in his usual earnest and im pressive manner. Misses Maggie and Emmie Hawkins of Magnolia, with their friends, have been visit ing in the neighborhood for some days. We got a glimpse of "Guv," passing the otherday. Wonder if he is a candidate. If so he did npt look as if he cared very much about it. Some one said he had a big "bus tle" tied behind his vehicle. We have heard of bustles, but never one to a buggy before. But as he leaves sharp things behind, we will stop for fear of being pricked. We think be was driving "Kate Mewl" or "Water Lily." Nothing stamps more indellibiy the t?ue dady.or gentleman, than fine behavior at'the house of. God, while vice versa carries with it a certificate of character that the owner j should be ashamed to exhibit. Talking dur-? ing dbine service, in and out of church, writing notes, boisterous ia church, after dis missal, are some of the things ttra above cer tificate calls for. . - <- - , Rev. B.
