The attention of our readers is called to a most valuable little book, entitled ''Princi? ples of Pro6table Farming " We do not know of any book on the subject that gives to the farmer so much practical in-form*tion in the earn-? short spate. In this book exper? iments are described upon different soils and crops, and the farmer is instructed how to ! use fertilizers properly, in order to procure the largest yields. Toe reading matter is divided into three ? parts, as follows: Part I. describes some of the important results first obtaiaed bj Prof. Wagner, Director of the Experiment Station at Darmstadt, Germany, through green-ma? nuring by means of potash-phosphate fertili? zation. Part II. gives an accouot of the Ex? perimental Farm ai Southern Pines, North Carolina State Horticultural Society, acting m co-operation with the State experiment Station. The object of the experiments con? ducted at this farm is to ascertain the rela? tive proportions of the three principal ferti? lizing ingredients needed by various fruit j and vegetable crops, viz., potash, phosphoric acid and nitrogen. Part III. is a summary of many important results obtained by the use of potash in experiments conducted at ex? periment stations in the United States. The foregoing outline will give the reader some idea of the scope and character of this little bouk. All the facts are stated in clear j concise language, and the principles of profit- ! sole farming are set forth in a practical way. Toe book, which i; full of il ustrations and j neatly printed and bound, is tree bf charge, a card cddressed to the German Kali Works, 93 Nassau St, New York, N. Y , being- all that is necessary to secure a copy. No intel- j ligent farmer should be wi'.bout it. -m ? . ? ? An extra coach had to be attached to the Co- j lumbia train yesterday morning to accommo- j date the large crowd of Winthropstudentsfrom this county and the eastern section of the State. There were fifty or seventy-five Winthrop girls ~n the train when it lef? here. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, October 1st, 2nd and 3rd the books of the Supervisor of Registration will be opened for the last time prier to toe general election. Unregis? tered citizen should not neglect this opportu? nity for qualifying to vote. The Santee Baptist Association will meet at B?5hopvll!e on Thursday, at 10 a. m. The body is composed of delegates from churches in Clarendon, Sumter and Kershaw counties. Four or five persons will go from Sumter. AU the Baptist pastors io this section will be present, together with Revs. T. M. B-iiley, R. N. Pratt, J. L. Vass, D. H. Crosland and J. B. Parrott, as visitors and representatives cf the different boards of the State convention. Rev. M. A. Connors, recently a graduate of Rochester Theological Seminary, will return from the Association, and fill the B*pii3t pulpit here next Sunday. Hector Pierson, Willie McLean and Daniel Jackson were before the Mayor's Court Monday morning charged with disorderly conduct. They u -re fighting on the : treets on Saturday j night und were arrested by .he police. McLean | and Jackson were found guilty and firu-d S3 I each. Pierson was discharged. ?he biggest break of the season was held at the tobacco warehouses Thursday. The price3 were very good and the sellera were weil ple.->sed with their returns. The tobacco farmers who were dissatisfied with the prices j their tobacco brough: at the first of thc se.i 3ou and shipped to markets ia other States cave learned from experience that they do as j well or belter in Sumter as anywhere io the j country, and they are now bringing their j tobacco here for sale in larger quantities each j week. The tobacco sold to-day came from Sumter, Florence, Clarendon and Williams t urg Counties. There are several tramps in town who are the uiost persistent and indefatigable mendi? cants that have ever importuned and imposed upon the charitable people ot this commu? nity. They appear to be cripples but when seen after work boura they make but slight U3e of their crutches. This class of vagrants cannot be very well reached under the vagrant law r.ow in force, but there should be some means of ridding a community of such brazen impostors. The County Board of Camraissiooers will consider the plans for the improvement of the Court House at the next regular meeting. The repairs will, perhaps, be commenced sometime nex! spring. The new plate glass show windows in the clothing department of J. Rytteoberg & Son's store now contain a handsome display of gent's furnishing goods and shoes that is attracting wore than usual attention from all who pass that way. The di?play i3 artisti? cally arranged and shows off the articles to the best advantage. The display was the work of Mr. I. A. Ryttenburg, who has de? cided talents as a window dresser. . The commissioners for the State election have been appointed for all the counties ex? cept four, of which Sumter is one. It is said that the noa-appointment of the commis? sioners in the four counties is due to delay in sending io recommendations, The Laborers and Mechanics Club (Reform) of this city held a meeting Monday night at which the principal business was the adop? tion of a resolution displacing Mr. George P. McKagen, the representative of the club on the County Executive Comaniatee. Tbrs action ?3 said to be the direct result of the attempt to force Mr. H. R. Thomas to re? sign the Chairmanship of the Reform fac? tion. Mr. McKagen was one of the signers of the request for Mr. Thomas's resignation, and the friends of Mr. Thomas, who were in the majority io the meeting Monday night took that means of showing their resentment against tho?e who participated in the at? tempted, unsuccessful effort to wrest the j Reform ;e?d'_-r?bip from the hands of Mr. Thomas. The Reform faction seem3 to be rather sharply divided j^?t at pres? ent on the issue of Tnomu3 asceod eat or Thenns repudiated. The Thomas mea have drawn first blood, and it i is difficult to predict whether the fight will j be continued or whether the antagonistic elements of the erstwhile united Reform fac tiou will be harmonized and once again Thomas will lead them. But one thing i3 certain and that is H. R Thomas is not re? signing as he was "respectfully requested" to do. He is holding on to what he has, and is, through his friends, striking back. - - ? ? ? - - - Mr. Jno C. Baily. Jr., of Greenville, S. C., a graduate of Princeton Th&ologicai School has been called to thc pastorate of the Wedge? field Presbyterian church. Tirzriii and Sum? merton churches will also call bim on next Sunday. These calis will be acted upon at the meeting of Harmony Presbytery to con? vene at Indiantown church cn 7ib of Oc? tober. I PRIVATEER PERSONALS. PRIVATEER TOWNSHIP, S. C , Sept. 28, '9*j. [).: J.

The ladies of Bethel Church desire to thank you and the many friends who so liberally patronized our festival. We took in $56 00, with very little expense. We regret that some did Dot get all they wanted. The reason was, that out of eighteen families only eight participated, the rest had the hand of afflic? tion upon them and some eorely.

Cotton is fast disappearing from the fields, and it seems curious to aa -'old stager" to see the fields "tuting on their winter robes before October comes, but such is the fact. The rice crop, where it has bad any chance, is very good, notwithstanding the loog hot, dry spell. The sick generally are getting better, but Drs. DuBose ano Fraser are constantly "on the go " From what I can learn it is the same thing in other sections. The pea crop ?3 a partial failure, but I think the yield will be about an average. X.
