The country bas been deluged with rain, rendering travel in some parts of the State not only slow and tedious, but dangerous. He says the people there have withdrawn their attention from business and given themselves up to politics. The ensuing campaign promises to be the hot? test ever waged ia Virginia. Both parties have stripped for the contest, and every trick and expedient known to the trade of politics will be resorted to by the two parties to carry the State. The democracy is confident, but vigilant and aggressive, knowing that they have a wary foe in Mahooe. capable of infinite Stratagem and cunning resources.

Folsom, the Jeweler, ba3 sus Snded across the street in front of his estab hmeat a huge and handsome watch so con? structed as to run by the action of the winds. It is aa object that attrac ts mach attention and wonder. It is rather fickle and unreli? able as a time-keeper, but is constantly on the "go ." The meeting of the citizens called by the City Clerk at Music Hall, on Monday last, did not materialize. This meeting was called to consider the questions of water works and ttoftnr lights for the city.

Williams is now in jail for trial at the next General Sessions The Patrick Military Institute at Anderson, S. C., will resume exercises on Sept. ill This is a first class school for young m9n, and offers excellent advantages to those who can send their boys away from home to be edu? cated. Capt. Patrick has had many years ex? perience, and is a cultivated Christian gentle? man, strictly conscientious iu what he does. Mattie Smith was tried on Monday last be? fore the Mayor's court for keeping a disorderly bawdy bouse and was sentenced to fifteen days in the county jail. When the policemen attempted to carry out the sentence of the Court and take the prisoner to the jail her violent struggles and screams caused great excitement on Main Street. She had to be thrown into a wagon, held down by three strong men and in this manner conveyed to prison. Sheriff Carson ha3 brought back from Co? lumbia the Bishopville prisoners. 'They were carried over to Columbia to protect them from lynching that had been ihreatened by some of the inconsiderate hot-heads of the Bish?pville community. Believing that all cause to apprehend any danger of that kind has been removed, the Sheriff has claimed his own again and placed his prisoners ia the proper place of confinement, the jail of Sum? ter.

The serial story now being published in thc Watchman and Southron will be brocght to a close in a few more issues, when wc will begin the publication of "Country Luck," by John Hahberton, the author of "Helen's Babies." Country Luck is one of the authors best stories. The hero is a green country lad who goes to New York to push his fortunes.

New Books. Wc aro in receipt of the following new books for review : Marooned, by W Clark Russell, is, as the name suggests, a story of the sea. The scene around which all the others cluster being an uninhabited island in tho West Indies, upon which the hero, who is made to tell the story, and heroine are iiarooned by the mutinous crew of the ship by which they bad taken passage for Rio, where the lady in question was to be married to the cousin of the man in question. The natural noveletic results follow-the man takes the girl himself and leaves his cousin ia Rio to hunt another to bc his life partner. Marooned is iuteresting from beginning to end, with a plot well worked out, giving an insight into the life a common sailor has to endure under a tyrannical captain.

Another novel, with the scenes laid in Eng? lish high life, having Lords and Ladies as minor characters. Thc novel is on the whole very good, teaching a moral that "honesty is the best policy," and that retribution may follow upon a crooked path in this world. Mrs. Alexander is a versatile and entertaining writer, in the opinion of many, and her latest book does not fall below its predeces? sors. As in the majority of thc author's works, the principal personage is a handsome young woman, who has the reader's sympathy and admiration from first to, last, for her true womanliness. Published in Sea Side Library, price 20 c's by George Munro. The Princess and ike Jew, translated from the Polish of I. I. Kraszeweski by Miss Meta DeYere is a clean, bright novel, a departure from tlu [stereotyped style. We have bad occasion heretofore to commend this author's work to our readers and wc now do so again.

Badger, S. R. Co'e, and R. II. Belser. The incorporators are Thomas Wilson, J. D. Rutledge, R. II. Belser, and J. J, Rtgin. Some iots in the village have been sold and others are being treated for. Mr. W. E. Burgess has accepted a situation as salesman with Mr. A. A. Solomons, of Sumter, and last Thursday. Aug. 1st, he entered upon the discburpc of his duties. Mr. Burgess was one of our best young men, and was always a popular salesman, being a great favorite especially with the ladies. He was with Mr. Loy ns for eight }cars, and wa3 with Mr. Levi for one year. Manning docs not like to give up such men. All thc town however, wishes Mr. Burgess great success in his new home, ard they will certainly call on him when in Sumter. A serious cuttiog affray occurred near Man? ning yesterday morning, between Pedro Meyers and Bland Hayes, both colored. As well as we can learn the particulars, Pedro and Bland were riding out into the woods, (they are working at thc mills of Harvin Bros )when Pedro charged Blard with des? troying a part of his mule's bridle. Bland admitted the charge, a few words and curses passed between them, when Bland with the butt end of a whip struck Pedro three times, on his head, neck, and r.rm, the last time knocking him off his mule. -Pedro says be then ran, Bland still following and striking him. Due blow partially paralyzed his left arm, but petting out his knife, he opened the blade with his teeth, and wheeling on Bland, ont him. Une cut is just above thc heart and into the left lung, the gash being absut three inches long. Another cut was in the forearm. The wound into the lune is a dangerous one, though he may survive. If he dies, however, it will be an exception, for Clarendon people seldom die from such causes. Pedro imme? diately came into town and surrendered to the sherill". He talks freely on thc subject and s^iys he did it in self-defence. Mrs. W. T. Sprott continue: very ill.

Editor : Thinking perhaps your tnany readers would like to hear of some good crops, I will give an account of my day's rec reation. Yesterday morning I broke away from home and work, to go over into Claren? don. I went over to my neighbor's, Mr. Wm. E. Kolb, and he hitched his thorough bred mare, Belle, (mewl) to his buggy, and in a short space of time we were at the store of that young, but rising merchant, Mr. C. L Griffin, at Pinewood, where we met with Mr Jno. M. DcsCharaps. We then proceeded to Mr. Robt. H. Griffin's over some horrible public road. It was here that the Pinewood Agricultural Club were to meet to inspect the crops of the following named gentleman Rob* t H. Griffin, Dan'I W.Brown, Ezra P. Geddings, Jas. D. Childers, Jno. W. Ardis, Samuel G. Griffin and Joseph R. Griffin. In a short time we were all there, and the judges appointed, consisting of J. M. DesCharnps, W. E. Kolb, and F. S. Geddings. Then away to the fields, where we saw some fine corn and cotton, though Mr. G always bound his persimmon stumps and broke corn tops We thought his corn would make from 15 to 40 bushels per acre, and his cotton from 600 to 1000 lb?, per acre. Returning to the house, we saw his pindars and potatoes and fine colt. Went into the bouse where we were treated to some fine peaches and good scuppernong wine and cekc. Our next place was Mr. D. W. Brown's, where we found some more fine corn and cot? ton, and persimmon stumps, broke corn top9, &c. We said that bia corn would make 25 bushels per acre, and bis cotton 1,500 lbs. Returning" to the house, we saw his fine, gen? tle cow. But just inside was the water and mu3k melons, and while wo were trying to get acquainted with tho melons, Mrs. B. and daughter gave us some sweet music from the organette. Then up and away, over roots and mud holes, up hill and down dale, across the M. & A. R. R , we came to Mr. R. A. Lawrence's Raccoon Hill place, to Mr. E. P. Gedding's, where he wanted the judges to see a half acre of cotton ia one place and one and three ?ights in another ; but he had a fine crop all the sarao. His corn 25, cotton 900. Back to bouse where we had more wine, cake, and choice buttermilk; also music by his son on the roller organ. Then, up and away Jo Mr. J. D. Childers', where we saw the finest oats-patch corn, fine cotton, corn and peas, clean yard #nd road. Saw no broke top3 ns we had elsewhere. Now it is going to rain, let's hitch up and iway? No, come in, wiuc-up. Went in, tvhere was good blackberry, aud some of the ;ood old corn juice. Now for Mr. John W. Ardis', over thc field ive walk ; find no broke tops; but oh my, :he stakes. lie had fine cotton and corn, iint, run boys, or you'll get wet. So we run n, and down comes the rain in torrents, ivhicu kept U3 in, and we passed the time in okes. It has stopped raining, and herc wc go, up lill down dale, through mud and water to Mr. S. G. Griffin's where we saw some more i;.e crops and sunflowers. Ncto J. R. Griffin's, where wc unhitch :d and fed Belle. In we go, and away goes ;he wine and cake, and then to the crop. It ?vas fine, and thc jokes were rich. Then the judges went off to decide who had ;he best crop. Old Sol sinks in the West and ;hcy have not come out yet. Here they are, jut, says Mr. Griffin, you must have dinner, >o we all ate and drive home in thc gathering twilight. Mr. Joseph R. Griffin is president of the xbove club. W. J. A.

God, who gave him, in His pleasure Has seen fit to take him now; Let us, who he's left behind him, Humbly to the giver bow, Oh 1 God, our hearts are sorely riven, Give us peace to our broken spirits, And may we all who are left on earth Meet our dar?Bg Bubber in Heaven. A NEICE. The vicissitudes of climate are trying to most constitutions, especially to people hav? ing impure blood. For all such (and thc}' constitute the majority,) the best safeguard is Ayer's Sarsaparilla, the use of which cleanses the blood aud strengthens and invigorates tue system. Commendable. All claims not consistent with the high character of Syrup of Figs are purposely avoided by the Cal. Fig Syrup Company. It acts gently' on thc Kidneys, liver and'bowels, cleansing the system effectually, but it is not et cure-all and makes no pretensions that every bottle will not substantiate. Aug. 1-m.

All departments will, as heretofore, be filled with the most competent teachers. As the rooms are hoing rapidly engaged, pupils from abroad would do well to apply as soon as practicable. An additional proof of thc thoroughness cf the teaching of this school is afforded by thc fact that two of the last graduating class from different Counties applied for the Winthrop Scholarship and were successful for the first grade against all competitors. We think it proper to state that since thc Institute lias been chartered, its diploma en? titles those who receive il '.o teach in the pub? lic schools without further examination.

GENTLEMEN t The Elliott Douglas Cotton Gin purchased of your agent, give3 perfect satisfaction. Wc have ginned over 500 bales of cotton on it without having to stop a sin? gle time on account of the Gin. We can safely say that it is far superior to any other gin, for the following reasons: 1st. It will gin wetter cotton than any other gin. 2nd. It never gums the saws, we don't care how wet lite cotton it. 3d. You can run it at n .greater speed than any gin without knapping the cotton. 4th, and last, the sample can't be beat. We have used several kinds of pins, but none hy any mean3 equaling the Elliott Douglas Gin, and would adv:3e all ginuers to see it run before they buy any other. As for the Feeder and Condenser, wo would rot ex? change them for any other, this being the first we ever used, but have seen many run. We know it takes out more dirt than any we have seen. We forgot to say above, our Gin has never choked in frinniug over 500 bales of cotton. Respectfully, T. T. & G. II. BEAZLEY, For catalogue prices and other testimo niais, write O. M.
