Sinking Fund Commission Finally Crosses the Bridge. The State sinking food comission, tinder tbe provision slipped into the new sinking fnnd commision act by the free conference committee in the last days of the recent session. Has cancelled the mortgage given by J. W. Alexander on the agricultural hall property and marked the $10,000 document "satisfied,'7 thus making the purchaser a present of a clear ten thousand dollars in the effort to head off Mr. Lyle? in his fight to have the federal courts pass upon the validity of the Blue Kidge scrip. The State a few days ago gave a statement of the status of the case, showing why it was considered abso? lutely necessary to do this in order to prevent Mr. Lyles from ?rcing the State into court in a case raising directly the main issue as to the valid* ity of the script It was thought then that the State would take such action. When Mr Lyles was told that this seemed to be the next move of the State in the rather interesting and exciting legal game, be remarked that this was the only sensible thing for the State to do ; then be smiled and added that "it seemed to bim that it came too late " It is known that the papers in the case referred to have. been filed for some time It was said last evening that Attor? ney Lyles had left the city in the afternoon, bnt wither he went is not known. He does not seem to be raf* fled by the apparent knock ont blow, however., His next move is not even gassed at yet. Yesterday all the members of the sinking fond commission were pres? ent at the meeting. The meeting continued for several hours ; the en* tire matter was discussed and gone over in ali its phases ; finally the board reached the decision to cancel the mortgage, mark it "satisfied/' and return it to Mr. Lyles as attorney for J. W. Alexandar A resolution, to this effect was adopted, so the beard announced, but a copy of the paper could not be obtained, owing to the usuel amount of red tape that has to be gone through in order to find out what the commission has done.-The State.

This evening the State board of con? trol will meet io monthly session and the proceedings will doubtless be of some publie interest. Chairman Doutbit bas b-in here a couple of days getting things in scape for the coming meet? ing. When asked yesterday about the pro bality of the board withdrawing all the hotel privileges in accordance with the view of the general assembly expressed in its resolution on the subject, Mr. Doatbit said he did not know what woold he clone, bot significantly re-v marked that the members of the legis? lature had not studied that particular phase of the business as bad the mem? bers of tho State board. He seems to think that hotel dispensaries are better than having o. p. agents' in each hotel. Mr. Doutbit says that he has been carefully locking into the matter of the advisability of remaining tn the agri? cultural hall bail din g st the rate of rent that bus to be paid. He says he is still looking into the matter of pur? chasing a suitable place easy of access by railroad sidetracks. He says he can easily show the board where $6,000 a year can be saved on"4 rent and drayage and possibly 3160 a month more can be saved io salaries of men, whose servi? ces would not be needed in osse of such a removal. He will doubtless have some suggestions to make to the board to-night along this line. Mr. Doutbit says the oext meeting of the board will be the interesting one ; then all the officers of the dispensary save the commissioner, who holds hts office for two years, will have to be chosen. Already there are msny appli? cants for tba several positions in the big ooneern.

S TALK NO 6 Mr. Editor : Mutual dependence is tbe chief order of civilized life. I hold the universal axiom that there is no euch thing as absolute independ? ence in any department of human life. God only is independent. Therefore man's affairs are) essential? ly relative and dependent The theme of this talk, as previous? ly announced, is : "The merchant as a prime factor in agricultural as well as municipal matters and how his in? terests and the interests of the farm? er are mutual and commingle insepa? rably." Mercantile business may be said to be conducted upon a fair and equita? ble basis when the buyer gets the worth of his money, and the mer chant gets, or is sure of getting, all the money for which he sold his goods On any other basis the trans? action is hazardous and unfair ; either the buyer or the merchant is at a disadvantage. In all such dealings the results are precarious and n?.sat iafactory. It is the duty of the wise and prudent to seek out and cure every cause of evil. As the old adage goes, "mp it in the bud." I look into our agricultural lien laws and find that the land owner is so well protected in his prior claims that he needs no written farm agree? ment for bis protection against vi? cious tenants Not so with the mer? chant The labor coming next to the landlord, necessitates certain spe? cial liens and mortgages by the mer? chant against the laborer, binding him and every article of value he owns upon the hazard of his crop This policy has a demoralizing influ? ence over the laborer, debasing bis manhood as well as dampening the ardor of his ambition. There is an? other evil growing ont of this meth od of mercantile jurisdiction ; it pisces the average tenant beyond the ken of medical assistance. There is riot a doctor in Sumter County who can afford or will enlist his services in behalf cf the common tenant upon his mere ipse dixit to pay. I hold that if the labor of a country is demoralized, the flounces of that country are likewise; and "hard times" is the constant cry in all classes. I have briefly stated facts ; I suggest the remedy as it occurs to my mind. The merchant as a factor in the commercial world supreme. They also, to a great rx .eure, bold the purse strings of the agricultural wealth of this country What next? Well, I practice all I preach, I say the farmer and the merchant should join mutually to remedy the financial distresses of Sumter County. For example take a plantation with twenty tenant families. _ The average amount of merchandise including, fertilizers, supplies &C , is $75 00 total $1,500. The common practice here is for the merchant to propor? tion the kinds of goods on informa tion received from the tenant, which two-thirds of the time be finds him? self misled and his reckoning found? ed on a false basis. The conse? quences are that the fertilizers he furnishes are too meager, and quite unsuited to the soil it was intended to benefit; the supplies and dry goods are scant at a two hundred per cent, price, and worst of all very little of it are necessaries for farm services. Hence? the laborer soon sees that he is a prey to the sheriff under his lien contract, and sets to work to steal his crop or otherwise act against the old maxim that "honesty is the best policy." Do you want a remedy ? Take for example the twenty tenant plantation referred to : First, the laodlord aod merchant should get together at the beginoiBg sod determine the amount of the require ment for each tenant, aod the propor? tions of dry goode, groceries aod fer? tilizers as well as farming implements, seed cat8, &e, and agree to divide eqoally for their pay ; but the mer? chant's account should at bo time exceed the amount of the landlord's rent. This bolds equally with smaller farms. Seoondly, there should be no carry? ing over from year to year of old debts. The end of each year should terminate the tenant's debts with both laodlord and merchaot Let this beoome tbe custom io Sumter and every landlord and merchant will by the natural order of business habits aod common sense adopt safeguards by which they will effect settlements satisfactory aod equi? table to all coooerned. Thirdly, and lastly, tbe landlord and merchant acting joiotly for mutual protection should agree: upon ali such artinles as shall be sold to (be teosut ; absolutely excludiog tobaoco. sogar, coffee, whiskey, and trifles in the dry goods line. This method will eucour age tenants to raise poultry, vegetables, truck patch crops, &o, for market, for the purpose of buying; these luxuries with cash This mechod also would insure to the tenant more meat, salt, grits and other stapie groceries neces? sary to his wellbeing. There should be a maximum price agreed on between landlord and merchant as to land lord rent and these aforesaid staple neces sitie?? These mutual agreement? faithfully carried out will restore to the average tenant that one thing needful, mind combined with labor ; and a healthy, happy infloenoe will prevail throughout all classes in Sumter County. Converted by Wholesale. The New York Mail aod Express FSJB that daring the war two regiments were stationed on opposite sides of a river A ohaplaio went to work ou the meo composing the regimeot stationed oo tbe north side of the river with a view of converting them. A number of the men responded to his efforts, and he left that regiment and went to continue bis* miseonary work io tb t regiment on the sooth side of the river. After laboring some time, a longer time than be had done with the other regi? ment, be found that he would not be as successful. Only about a dczen meo were baptized from the last regiment. The chaplain bad a talk with the colo? nel aod mentioned the fact that so few of the meo bad been baptized. "How many men did you say were baptized in tbe other regiment?'7 tbe colonel asked the chaplain sharply. "Twenty four," was the reply from the chaplain. The colonel turned quickly arouod to his orderly with tbe quick ccmmand : "Detail thirty-five men at once to be baptized by the ohaplain. I don't pro .nose to let any one horse regiment get ahead of us in that way. We've got a reputation to eustaio." This reminds us of a story that was told by the late General John Bretton, wbiob be regarded as a good joke on tbe Presbyterians. Io tho summer of 1863, not lon s; after the siege of Suf? folk, in which Jenkins' brigade bore the brunt of the hardships and priva? tions incident to the siege, the brigade wss stationed at Petersburg, where it had an easy time compared with any of its previous experiences. Each regiment bad a chaplain exespt the Sixth, which was then under Bpatton's command, and for some reason be bad set bis bead upon securing the services of Wm. E. Boggs, a recent graduate of the Colombia theological seminary, who is now the distinguished president of the University of Georgia. MrJ Boggs was from Fairfield County, and was regarded as unusally bright and promising. Col Bretton bad made application* to tbe professor io the seminary asking that Mr. Boggs be sent to his regiment prior to gradua? tion, but this was refused and the ap? plication was suspended, though tbe officials in Colombia were notified that the position would be kept open for Mr. Bdggs. Several months clasped, and the request of Col. Bratton was not heeded, bot Mr. Boggs was assigned to other work io tbe vicinity of his home. In the meantime a widespread religious interest sprung up ataong the soldiers of Jenkins' brigade, aod the chaplains were holding nightly meetings, which proved very success? ful, and hundreds of men connected themselves with tbe three denomina? tions represented by the respective chaplains, namely, Methodist, Pres? byterian, and Baptist. Tbe prepon? derance of ooo verts joined the Baptists, however, and ir. was not an uncommon sight for large cambers to be immersed in the canal, hard by the soldiers' camp. These immersions were wit? nessed generally by the officers and men of the eotire brigade, and Col. Bratton observed that a considerable number of the Sixth had gone down in i y the water with the Baptist chap? lain- He resolved to use this fact in order to hasten the oomiog of Mr. Boggs, aod accordingly be wrote to one of the seminary professors a very point? ed note, whiob read about as follows : "Why don't you send Boggs? If you delay much longer, the Baptists will have the last one of my men io tbe oanal before be can get here." Tbe reaolt was that Mr. Boggs came on im? mediately, and within a week or so he was duly installed zs chaplain of the gallant Sixth, to the great joy of its beloved commander. Tbe new chap? lain was cordially reoeived by the other preachers, and it was only a short time until he became one of the most popu? lar and useful chaplains in the army. Greenville Mountaineer. M.
