Friendly Wells, colored, from Davis' Sta? tion, went to Sumter last Saturday morning and came back Monday pretty badly used up. He went to Dr. Brown for treatment with his - left arm broken, bis upper lip cut, and several rery bad gashes on bis arm, shoulder and back. He says on last Saturday night be waa Walking on the W. C. & A. road about one and a half miles from Sumter, when some one came ap from behind him and hailed him. He stopped to see who it was, when the party fired at him with a single barrelled gun, but missed his mark. He was very much shocked when the unknown party came up to him and strack him with the gun, breaking his arm. He tried to grapple with the supposed robber, botooold do nothing with his broken arm. His antagonist pulled out a knife and began ulashieg bim with it. After spliting up bis coat and catting bim severely, as mentioned above, Friendly says the party went off seve? ral steps and stopped, but be, Friendly, did. not care to have anymore to do with the unknown knight of the pocket knife, and retraced bis steps towards Sumter .as rapidly as be could in bis wounded condition. He staid in Sumter all day Sunday and came down to Manning Monday morning and bad bis wounds dressed. Friendly says he was sot drunk, and bas no idea who the party waa or what he was after. At any rate he is ? - pretty badly used up and woold scarcely be able to stand another such encounter. -> -- % - h Schwerin kilo, are selling Heavy Groceries at rock bottonfprrces.

TOCK Thanks To Mr. C. B. Porteous, a former resident of his County, but for several years past of tennsylvaoia, fur a batch of ioteresting C?n? ida papers-in which latter country he is low visiting. Also to our esteemed friend and former ownsman, W. D. Blending, Esq., for late kentucky papers. - - Mr. Terresl's Speech. Mr. Editor: I listened attentively to Mr. Terrell's address to the farmers of our County ast Saturday, and I am constrained to write 1 short piece; not in defense of newspapers, nerchants, lawyers, <fcc, but to set forth a ew facts as they really exist. Much of Mr. Terrell's adrice was excellent," ?nt running through the whole speech was a bread of thought to which he constantly re erted, that others were responsible for the ?resent condition of the farming interests. Pb?m?rchants wete beld np as charging ex ?rbltauV prices '*?? "giving bad advice to armers; sayicg, bring in your cotton as arly as you can. To take up io inverted order : Bring in .our cotton as early as yon can is not bad idvice, for all know the cotton when first gathered, weighs more, and the first placed on he market naturally brings a better price. If he cotton be held in a loose state the loss in veightand interest on the money wiil be nore than equal to any advance in price easonably expected. Then who has a better igbt to ask that the cotton be brought in han the merchant? He has to pay the :laims against him for the very goods the armers have consumed. Many of the farm srs bought their supplies with the under ttanding l?iat they would pay for them as ?oon as they could sell cotton. It is not to ;he interest of the merchant to run the mee of cotton down, for the better price it )rings the more goods he sells, and it is unrea :onable to censure bim for advising another Ban to fulfil his promise. Exorbitant prices : I am free to admit that here are merchants who play havoc with cer ain men; but is not this the exception rather han the rule? Is it cot caused as much by he poor credit of the purchaser as by the ex ortion of tire seller? 1 venture the assertion: hat the man, who has established his credit >y paying promptly at the time promised for ill purchases during the last ten 3ears, can luy^bis supplies frcm the merchants of Sumter it as small a margin.as they can be furnished. Are others responsible for the condition of ;be farming interests? Only in a limited tense. Nearly every other vocation is pres? ?d from January to January, while the farm ?rs make their vigorous efforts betweeu March ind August. It is unreasonable to expect a 'ul! year's pay for a half year's work. The iegro as a laborer must idle one-sixth (every Suturday) of his whole time while you are ookiog on, and heaven only knows how auch when you are absent, and unfortunate y our farmers are compelled (?) to be absent i great deal ; so.much so during the winter, hat the ditches get filled up, the ditch-banks :overed with bushes, the stumps remain to ot out, and then they forget to make any )Iack. manure, and must buy something to nake the crop (grass) grow, and that must be ?andled just when it is time to plow for corn. Then be didn't make enough corn to do him ind has spent all of his cotton money and nus; go to the merchant to get corn. Now as questions of political economy: 3ould the farmers by forming a trust hold heir cotton to the injury of the merchant and :ottoo manufacturer, it would result in disas er to the farmer; for while the farmer who ^ets one hundred bushels of corn from the soil idds that much to the capital stock, yet it is ibsolutely necessary to have the merchant md manufacturer to stimulate trade and nake a market for the farmer's produce. The price of cotton will be regulated by lupply and demand. It may be that the use )f it for covering cotton bales will increase he demand and better the price ; but its gen idoption instead of jute depends entirely upon he comparative cost and qualities of the ma erial. Now I do not soe that anything is tobe rained by setting one class of our people igainst another. In harmony lies our success. I am no merchant, and with the earnest desire br the tree advancement of our people, I lave at the risk of censure written the fore? going. JOEL E.

Mr. Editor : Not for several years has the eneral average of the cotton crop of this eighborhood been so high. On all sides we ear of colton six and eight feet high, and a ?eling of prosperity pervades the neighbor oo?. The farmers are beginning to get in hurry-for you must know that as soon as be average farmer gets bis bale ginned he inmediately tries the speed of his horse and Tis own legs in a race against time in order o get his cotton sold-selling finally to the 'thieving" m etchant who has given bim redit for the yea* jos? past, and believing in he bottom of his ?heart that the aforesaid oercbant bas committed the crime of charging 'breakage," deducting 6 per cent, tare, and eseliing at a profit of at least 2 cents a pound. Jut as yet the cotton has not rolled in freely, lue no doubt to tba lateness of the crop, od then besides I suppose some is deterred >y the limited quantity of cotton-bagging ebicb the Alliance uses How?7?&'oniy wo bales in Alliance uniform Jwvfe^o far oade their appearance on pur depot TOtform, nd the new stylers still an JbbjecPof curi ?8ity amongst us. There is quite a brisk [emand for second-hand jute, though, thus howing the earnest" -determination of the arnest farmers to break down the hated ause of all their troubles, the Jute Trust. Lnd nothing but the most earnest and hearty o-operasion can give the farmers success, for he monster of monopoly is powerful and has niliions behind bis buck; but if the people tick together and refuse the jute, the trust is lound to fall, and the dignity of American Agriculturists as free citizens will be vindi ated !

He held the strictest attention of the udience which was composed of our own lub and about fifty members of the State >urg club, throughout. The address was a choJarly effort and showed a thorough ;nowIedge of the classics and of the uses of listory as a 6tudy. His idea was that we hould forget ourselves and think only of the entiments conveyed in a recitation and that 'history was philosophy teaching by exam? ple," tbe examples being given, tbe student oust philosophise as to effects and results, t was certainly a pleasure to have him with is, and we shall be pleased to have him gain.
