An Open Letter to the Farmers* Fully Prepared for the Fall Trade in Every Respect. In our long experience in merchandising we have never procured goods in every line more satisfactory with a view to low and suitable prices than during our recent visit North. We allowed no opportunity looking to this most important ecd to I pass us. These bargains we pledge ourselves to give our cus? tomers the full benefit of, feeling sure that we could not give ' more practical shape to our sense of sympathy and gratitude to our country friends. We know by experience the special wants of our farmers, whose friendship we think we have a peculiar right in claiming, inasmuch as our firm it v^as which was the pioneer in this section to operate first with the various farmer Alliances, and that our dealings with thes*e gentlemen were most satisfactory in every particular and were appreciated is clearly evinced by the present enormous increased volume of our business. We take much pride in this, and are determined by continued conscientious dealing, and the lowest possible prices to retain our hard earned popularity. Our store is fre? quently literally packed with customers during the busy season; and this fact can be verified by a visit, and certainly most em? phatically sustains the correctness of our statement. We have not of course the space to lay before the. public all our offering stock, but can only refer to a limited portion. Probably much that is omitted will be found even more in? viting.

We are carrying our u?ual lioe of Harness and Saddlery, Hardware, Tinware, Crockery, Glassware and Groceries. We are exclusive agents for the Millbourne Mille, of Philadelphia, aud it would be an injustice to them to terminate this ai tide without saying a word about their flour. WE EAVE SOLD 3,000 BARRELS Of their goods in the past year and the best evidence of their merit is that we have never had a package returned, or complaint made.' We have arranged with the mill to deliver this flour in any part of the county in 5 barrel lois on a basis of Sumter carload rates. Mr. Gibson is associated with us in the cotton business and will be pleased to see his old friends. - O'DONNELL & CO. THE CRISIS IN SPAIN. What is Said of It tn Wash iogton Diplomatic Circles. Washington, September 30 -Min ister' Woodford op to the hour o closing the department to day hat not informed the*, state department o the Spanish cabinet crisis The mail point of interest here at present ii the composition of the new* cabine jtnd it is expected that Mr. ^oodfon . will not neglect to obtain and cabh to his government the earliest in for mation possible on that point. Ii administration circles to day opinion* are fairly divided as to the outcome whether the new cabinet will be lib .r. eral or conservative, and as that is i matter of gravest importance to om government, as influencing the lin? of policy to.be followed as to Coba there is a strong desire to obtain in formation as to the prospects K- The President had scarcely reach? ed the White House this rooming be lg- fore Secretary Sherman called to set bim He was closely followed bj Assistant Secretary Day, and, al though it is understood that the lat? ter's visit had largely to do with state department appointments, it is not doubted that there was a discussion of the last Madrid developments In'the absence of the Spanish min? ister. Mr. Da Bose is th<| senior offi cial here, bat he has not called at the state department, and has not, as fai as can be 'learned, received officia! advices from Madrid Diplomats familiar with Spanish af fairs admit that conditions point tc one of two results, namely : the com p?ete collapse of the conservative re gime, which has been responsible foi the Cuban policy, and its succession by a liberal cabinet with pacific and conciliatory tendencies toward Cuba, or else a transition ministry, with Azcarraga again at the head, as a temporary expedition to tide ovei affairs until the cortes eau meet and a permanent and stable ministry be formed. Officials believe that a complete change of ministry and political par ties with Sagasta as the new leader is the more probable In ?hat case, it is said Senor Moret probably would become minister of foreign af fairs Moret is best remembered in the United States from the fact that he was the first to recognize the Mora claim, presented by the United States. It make him a target for criticism in Spain, bat he was uki mately justified by his political op ponents when they paid the claim after the energetic demaud made by Secretary Olney. The name of Senor Gamazo has been mentioned in the Madrid cables as likely to take the foreign portfolio in a Sagasta cabinet, but this is be lieved to be erroneous, as Gamazo has never been prominent in state af fairs, but is noted as a financier, and was a financial minister in a former liberal cabinet. He has a strong following, and it is believed by officials that he would take the treasury portfolio in a liberal cabinet It is stated with positiveness that American affairs did not bring on the crisis, bot that it was doe entirely to internal policies, of which the excommunication of Senor Navarro Reveter, minister of gnance in the fallen cabnet, formed a par? This fact has been briefly mentioned in the cable dispatches, bnt the circum stances of the excommunication are more fully explained here It ap j pears that the minister of finance in i sisted that the church property in an j interior diocese should pay taxes as other property. *This was opposed I by the bishop, who claimed a church j exemption The minister therupon resorted to the usual legal procedure, levying on the church property for default in tax payments. The bishop responded by a decree of excommuni? cation against the minister of finance The latter appealed to the metropoli? tan of the see. who ruled against the bishop The latter was insistent on his prerogatives, claiming that a ; bishop was supreme ni matters af i fectiog an excommunication The case has now been appealed to Rome for final determination In the mean time., the excommunication of the minister stands, and to some extent has hs influence 3gainet the entire cabinet, owing to the strong church j sentiment in Spain and the official union between church and state It ? is not doubted that the queen regent j would be guided in such a question j affecting the cabinet by the wishes of Rome The Grandest Kern edy.

He served through the winter campaign in East Tennessee, and was wounded before Knoxville, through not so much as to necessi tate the abandonment of his command. After the battle of Knoxville he march? ed to Gordon8vilIe, and was soon en? gaged in the battle of the Wilderness, where he was shot through the face, suffering a severe but not fatal wound. A summary of General Farley's mili? tary career shows bim to have been ac tively mgaged in the battles of Bull Ruo, Yorktown, Williamsburg, the seven days struggle around Richmond, where be was twice wounded Win? chester, Fredericksburg, (!hattanoga, Gettysburg, Criicamauga, C-ld Harbor, Petersburg and other battles At the close of the war General Far? ley went to the seacoast and eogaged in the business of raising sea island cotton He returned to Laurens coun ty io 1869.

He fhn;i became editor nf the Caro lina Span an and for four years coo ducted that paper with rare tact cod ability. In the celebrated compaign of 1876 General Farley was a conspicuous fig? ure and his efforts in behalf of white supremacy in the state were unsur? passed by any" other of the leaders of the democraoy. In 1890 be was elected adjutant and iospeotor general, which position he filled most acceptably to the state He .nerved two terms in that position, when he. was succeeded hy General Watts. Sioce his retirement from , office, General Farley has been engaged in the work of getting up an official and authentic register of the Confederate soldiers of this state who participated io the war KALLI, DEFEATED IN BOULE, RESIGNS. GREAT EXCITE? MENT Athens. Sept. 30.-The boule (legislative asssembly) met to day to consider the peace treaty with Turkey and the political situation in general The galleries were crowded and the proceedings were followed with in? tense interest M Ralli, the premier, mounted the tribune, and after review ing the events leading up to the be? ginning of the peace conditions in? vited the chamber to vote confidence in the government. He proposed a resolution to that effect All in great excitement, the chara ber defeated the resolution by a vote of 93 to 30 This defeat precipitated a crisis. It is deemed impracticable for M. Halli to continue in office with the cabinet as now constituted. The Delyannists are a large majority of the chamber, and no cabinet could conduct public busiue688 without their approval.
