LYNCHBURG, lynchburg, April 23.-Many bf our farmers planted cotton very late this season, consequently very little com? paratively is up, and the "stands" are poor, so far. We need rain and need it badly. A gentleman farming in the flatwoods told this correspond? ent today that he planted 40 acres of -cotton about the 1st of April, and that it wasj.up and growing, notwithstand? ing the frfst. The early bird caught the worm this time. There has been much complaint among* many of the firmers about the, inferior grade of cotton seed meal put off on them ihis spring-a number refused to haul it to* their farms. Somebody should be made to account for this outrageous swindle. Goods are bing placed in the Griffin & McLeod Banking and Mercantile -Company's 100x60 two-story brick ' ?tore-the biggest building ever erect? ed in this little town. Mr. J. M. Mun? roe, of New Hanover, X. C., is their "bookkeeeper, and he is an up-to-date ~?ne. - A genuine mad dog was killed here a few days ago by Col. J. A. Rhame. He had bitten ten dogs, that we know of before he was killed, and probably as many more. Many of the bitten dogs have been killed or confined, to await results. Mr. Stokes of Timmonsviile, the lather of Messrs. J. G. and Geo. W. Stokes, is critically at the latter's nome with scarcely any hope of his re? covery. This correspondent had the exquis? ite pleasure of attending the district lodge meeting of the Knights of Py? thias in Mayesville on the 26th inst., and was never better entertained and taken care of. as all who attended will bear willing testimony. The dinner, as to quantity, quality and manage? ment, could not be excelled, if equall? ed. The bazar which was in operation, for the benefit of the church, was in? deed a lovely and attractive spectacle, and a great display of skill and taste ?was in evidence, augmented by a per? fect army of feminine faces which for beauty and loveliness could not be aorpassed by any town in the State of tbe size of Mayesville. of course pres? ent company (the little town of Lynch lrarg, formerly Magnolia) eccepted. <SecretIy: You see this correspondent 3s here in the midst of these boys, and Ixe has to be mighty particular to put ^nothing ahead of our girls.) PISGAH. Pisgah, April 30.-The Salem Union of the Black River Association met the Greeleyvilie Eaptist church on Saturday, 2Sth inst. All the churches were represented. After a sermon by Rev. H. F. Oliver of Georgetown, the . Union' was organized by electing J. E. DuPre moderator, and Rev. John G. j Gough, secretary. The subject: j "Evangelism," was discussed in its j various phases by a number of the del- ' ebates during the evening and Sunday ! morning. At 11:30 a. m., Sunday j Rev. F. M. Satterwhite preached to a ! large congregation from the words: j "The Lord's Day, Its Authority, Scope i i and Activities." I would not \attempt to give an out- I line of this deep and far reaching ser- j mon. It was certainly fine, and the stillness of the audience during its delivery showed it was being received. The collectiaon was large for State missions. At night Rev., John O. Gough preached on "Prayer." His sermon was a-splsndid exhibition of deep though: and research and was delivered to a crowded hoiise. The collection was good and went to the Ladies' Mission? ary Society. The next union goes to Behtany church in Lee county on Fri? day before the fifth Sunday in July. Greeleyville is a growing business place. The hospitality of the people was open-hearted. All the doors were open and the cry was for more dele? gates. The Assaciation will go there in October next. Mr. Tom Price, who was killed by lightning last Friday evening at Ridgeway, was a son of Mrs. J. F. Bol? ton of Marlborough county by her first marriage and a nephew of the late Mrs. J. E. DuPre. He was a young man of splendid character and was living with his aged grandfather who is nearly 90 years old. MAX. . Max, April 30.-Professor C. A. Smith of Timmonsville addressed a large assembly Sunday afternoon at the laying of the corner stone of Bethel's new church building. The address was appropriate and much en joyed. ' Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Moore visited in Williamsburg last week. Mr. Daniel Baxley's baby was found dead in bed last week. Farmers are hoping for rain. Flowers and spring chickens are becoming abundant. STATEBURG. Stateburg,' April 28.-Pursuant to a? call from the president, the State burg Democratic club met today for the purpose of reorganization, election of officers, delegates to the Democrat? ic county convention and the transac? tion of otier business. The officers elected were: Dr. W. W. Andersen, Sr., president; W. M. Lenoir, vice president; J. R. Sumter, secretary and treasurer. Delegates to county convention are: R .M. Can tey, T. S. Stuckey, W. M. Lenoir, W. D. Frierson. Alternate: W. P. Burgess. Member of county executive commit? tee: W. J. Rees. The club then ad? journed until the next call. 'Stateburg, May 1.-Mrs. James Pinckney and Misses A. X. Moore and Bessie Barnwell returned from Sum? ter yesterday after a pleasant visit to Mrs. A. P. Manning. Mrs. E. X. Frierson and Miss Emma Frierson went to Summerton last Tuesday to take in the Anderson Plowden wedding. Mr. Early Mellette spent Sunday at home. Miss Gena Dargan visited relative? in Sumter last week. Mr. F. P. Burgess spent several days in Summerton last week, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Ander? son. . Mrs. E. X. Frierson is visiting rela? tives in Charleston. Rev. W. H. Barnwell spent Sun? day and Monday at Hagood. Misses Alice and Clara'Childs and Virginia Reynolds of Sumter with Master Mark Reynolds, spent several days last week with Dr. and Mrs. W W. Anderson. Mrs. W. L. Saunders visited relatives in Summerton last week. DALZELL. Dalzell. April 30.-The folks of this neighborhood enjoyed a little picnic last Friday at the beautiful grove in front of Col. W. D. Scarborough's res? idence. Several of the young people of this place attended a picnic last Saturday at Mr. Elwood Myers' near St. James. Miss Gertrude Dixon of Bishopvi"le is visiting her cousin. Miss Jennie Scarborough. Mr. Coyt Woodham of Ashland vis? ited relatives here Saturday and Sun? day. We notice several of the young men are wearing a very long face these days. Of course the exact cause is a matter of opinion, but if we had to guess would say it is because school days are drawing near a close, and that means that school teachers will soon be departing to their respective homes. SALEM. Salem; April 30.-The Salem club met on the 28th inst., with a small at? tendance present. The following offi? cers were elected: R. E. McElveen. Dresident; X. P. Boykln, vice presi? dent; G. W. McBride, secertary and treasurer. Member executive com? mittee: j. A. Boykiu. Delegate to county convention: E. W. Dabbs. After the appointing- ol" other com? mittees the club adjourned to meet at ca'.! of the president. Miss Adele Osteen came over from Augusta on Friday even.ng and will spend some time with Miss Hammie Witherspoon. Little Misses Susie and Caroline Dick are over on a little visit to friends here. H:?n. E. W. Dabbs is building a vummer home out in the pine woods. The past week brought forth much wind, and two light showers of rain, but not enough to bring up cotton to a stand, especially on stiff bottom lands or to be of much benefit to oats. Unless more rain follows soon the oat crop will be light. Planting is practi cally over and there has been much time spent by the unfortunate in hunt? ing forage to feed farm stock. Corn stands are generally good and less in? jury by birds, etc., than usual. Major Seale has fulfilled his prom? ise in having Black River causeway repaired, much to the delight and comfort of the traveling public. There is much sickness around grippe, chicken pox and fever most prevalent. The surviving burnt mule of Albert Chandler shows little or no improve? ment.- The skinis beginning to peel off and at the present rate it will be skinless in a week more, if still alive, which looks doubtful at present. The public schools of this district are nearing vacation season, and the children are looking forward with much pleasure to the picnic that marks the closing exercises HAGOOD. Hagood, April 30.-A trip to Lynch? burg via your city reveals the fact that all over the country is felt the im? pulse of a new life. No season of the year, no time of life is so active, so busy, so full of interest, so charming. Nature long dormant, just awaking, shaking itself presents to the eye a vision of freshness, vigor, at once so pleasing and inspiring that none can view it with indifference. The swell? ing bud, the tiny leaf, the little flow? er, the air fragrant, teeming with buzzing insects the feathered tribe, in gay attire to this as to no other sea 'son. And how is it in our own life? Youth is hopeful, cheerful.bouyant with spirit enthusiastic, brave,alert, often dreamy smiling, laughing, singing, joyful, lov? ing. They have not tried life, but from its threshold they hear a syren song, charming, calling them forward. Each is a hero, a heroine, to achieve what has never been accomplished, to scale the heights impossible to their fathers. Nothing daunts them; they step nimbly, >readily, without hesita? tion, gladly, fearful of nuning, upon the stage of life to play their part in its great drama. And this is as it should be else, entering discouraged, how poorly their part would be ren? dered. Thus, with a hearty Godspeed, generation follows generation, each entering upon the heritage of their fathers, more richly endowed, with greater responsibilities because of greater capacities and more glorious possibilities. The veterans in the fray, worn with toil, care, the burdens of life lay reluctnatly aside the imple? ments of labor and strife, and with one long, last look perhaps with a sigh yield to the inevitable. Despise them not, oh youth, but let them down tenderly, carefully, tearfull for their's will be your lot some day, and re? member that this sowing time is fol? lowed by a harvest. REMBERTS. Rembert. April 30.-The Rafting Creek Democratic Club held a very harmonious meeting last Saturday af? ternoon at Rembeits. The first busi? ness before the club was to elect of? ficers and it was unanimously voted to re-elect the same old officers for their faithful services rendered during the past two years. Next business was to elect five dele? gates to the county convention and the following gentlemen were duly elect? ed: A. K. Sanders, James DuPre, J. M. Jenkins. J. D. McLeod and John Young. A. K. Sanders was elected ex? ecutive committeeman. The president then appointed five members to revise the club roll and look after registra? tion tickets, after which it was the unanimous sense of the club to nom? inate Hon. A. K. Sanders for the State senate and Messrs. E. E. Rembert, \V. J. Young and W. C. Harlloe were a7ip-?inted by the chair to draft suita blue resolutions which were adopted cy acclamation: "Whereas the Hon. R. J. Manning will be a candidate for governor of the State "f South Carolina, whereby causing a vacancy in the State senate from Sumter county and, whereas; we have in our midst one whose long past faithful services to township, county and State, whose personal and Chris? tian character and marked ability and fitness to represent all classes of our people and the business interest of our county and State at large. Be it "Resolved. That the Rafting Creek Democratic club do hereby nominate the Hon. A. K. Sanders for the Senate for Sumter county and bespeak for him the best wishes and support of our fellow citizens." DARK CORNER. Dark Corner, May 1.-We had a nice rain here this morning. Cotton planting is progressing finely. All the early planting is getting up to a good stand, but "General Green" has arrived also, so now we will have to commence the usual war against the grass. I spent part of the w?eek in your city last week, and had the pleas? ure of meeting many of my old friends. Among them was P. A. Watson, of Branchville, formerly of this Corner, but who has been gone for 34 years next August. I was certainly glad to meet old Alex again. I had the pleas? ure of dining with friends. Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Cuttino on Wi dnesday and on Thursday with Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Windham. I have no sick to report, everything is calm and serene hereabouts. I hear that Morgan Johnston (son of Mr. C. H. Johnston, who lives near Ramsey) came near being bitten by a mad dog last Friday-, while plowing for his father. He killel the dog. The Manchester Demociatic> club reorganized last Saturday evening, and elected -delegates to the county con? vention to meet in your city on the 7th. While in your city I met two . ?. three people.who thought they ough: to have the honor of serving the dear people. Oh. how willing they are to serve us if we will only put them in office. The Manchester Democratic club met and reorganized April 28, 130J, w'th the following officers: President-J. M. Kolb. Secretary-T. H. Osteen. Member of Executive Committee M. E. Rivers.

The club then adjourned to meet tr "> first Saturday in Juiy at 5 o'clock p. m., sinless ordered to meet by the executive committee before that date. PRIVATEER. Privateer, May 1.-The Bethel school entertainment on\ Thursday evening was a perfect success. Each one gave credit to the careful train? ing by their efficient teacher, Miss Su? song. A well arranged and interest? ing programme was beautifully ren? dered. Miss Susong returns to her home in Bridgeport, Tenn., Wednesday. She made many friends while here, and all regret her going away. The Elack River Union met at Bethel Friday. Saturday and Sunday. All the busines of the Union was fin? ished Saturday and on Sunday Rev. Tolar preached an instructive and in? teresting sermon on "Ministerial Education."

A Well Attended and Successful En? tertainment. Privateer. April 27.-We have al? ways been taught that it is more blessed to give than to receive. If this be true. Miss Susong and her school just clor-ed are richly blessed this morning. Last evening at 5 o'clock the patrons and friends of the school assembled to witness the closing. This school is located at Bethel church in the old Alliance hall and was taught by Miss Susong of Tennessee, who. by her charming personality, has won the esteem of all who know her. The hall was beautifully decorated with choic? est flowers and ferns and presented th? appearance of a well appointed hall of festivity. The house was full and everyone seemed- on pleasure bene. Privateer is noted for not doing things by halves and this time under the skillful, intelligent guidance of their loved teacher, the children excelled themselves, and for several hours we were delighted and were taken back to our childhood days, even to fairy? land. I enclose a programme. I wish to say that ail did so well I hate to mention one and not all. but one or two I feel will not he amiss. The song "Golden Rule" to Auld Lang Syne was rend-.-red by the school, led by Miss Annie Wells on the organ. This showed careful and successful training. "Old Folks at Home" was well sung and acted in pantomime. "The Last Hymn," recited by Louis Cain, made feelings come over us. Miss Daisy Lide delighted the au? dience with "Then You'll Remember Me." accompanied by Miss Annie Wells. "So Was I" by Corinne Wells, was humorous enough to please any one. "Only a Penny Apiece." by Ruth Cain was so-well, it was just so sweet she was called on to repeat, and did so with such grace and sweetness that we are her's to command. "My Faith Looks up to Thee" in pantomime by Miss Susong was a gem in its way and moved the hearts of all. "Fate in Flower Land" by the girls in their fairy cotsumes was beautiful, girls and all. A prize was given to little Miss Koib for being the most punctual in the school. Miss Annie Wells furnished music during the intervals between the acts to the delight of all. I have only mention some. All de? serve it. We all wish Miss Susong much pleasure during her vacation, and may many pleasant occurrences cheer her heart as she has cheered ours. The following programme was rendered: Prayer-Rev. T. P. Lide. Recitation, "The Time of Joy" Marion Wells. Song-"The Golden Rule"-School. Recitation-"He Didn't Ask"-An? na Strother.

C., April 28.-Yesterday was the closing day of the Stone Line ?chooh This chool includes children from Privateer. Sammy Swamp and Paxville townships and was taught by Miss Annie Wells of Privateer. The scholars and patrons of the school were so enthusiastic that a picinc was the result of a unanimous vote. As early as 9 o'clock buggies and wagons began to roll into the grounds and by time for the exercises the house was overflowed and the seats had to be moved out into the grove. .There were not seats enough for the ladies pres? ent. Th ecildren and men had to stand or 'hunker it. Thirty-seven children took part in recitations, etc. The school had an en? rollment of forty-four and the average attendance was well up in thirty. One remarkable feature of yesterday's gathering was "all were children" once again. Even old Grandfather Ed Hodge had a happy smile and was found with pie crust in his pocket af ter dinner and Grandmother Stone was among the happiest. The children acquitted themselves with great credit, not only to themselves but to their unwearying and ambitious teacher, who spent so much anxious thought and unremitting energy to have every? thing pleasant and entertaining, which was fully accomplished. The dinner was ail an epicure could wish. From barbecue down, and from fried ham up. all was complete, and when we had all ate there was enough to feed half as many again. These people have good eating themselves and take it for granted others are like themselves in this re? spect. Without joke, it was a superb, bountiful dinner. Recently in San Francisco the earth groaned, yester? day the dinner table groaned and last night there were private, unrecorded groans. Strange to say that although this .is one of the largest schools about, and yet about the smallest house, with less accommodations than any other. These children deserve and ;:re entitled to better, and should h?vs it by all means. We are reliably infirmed that Privateer has enough money on hand to run her schols ten months in the year, and yet run only seven. Wo should have less taxes or longer schools. I will say for our Privateer trustees though, that they are making the house more comfortable and are furnishing them better. This Stone Line school is in Clarendon countv and is not controlled ry the Privateer trustees entirely. When we dro"? "way f-^"i the pic? nic we-left a happy, merty c -?wd. all wishing f/r- ma"y more ju<: **i-?h pleasant gatherings rf the pr*-ons ;:n ' friends o' this school. Visitor. The Standard Fertilize- company was organized in Cheleston Thursday with a paid up capital st^ck of f'^'n. 000. It marks the re-entrance of the Wagener interests into the business, they having been bought out by the Virginia-Carolina Chemical company some years aero, agreeing to remain out of business for a term of years, which has now lapsed. HEXRX RAGES' THOMAS. j Was born in Summerton April ?thr 1845, and died at his home near j Wedgefield, March 21st, 1&?6. being nearly GI years old. He entered Wof j ford College in the fall of 1S59, 'ard remained as a student until 1861, when he volunteered as a private in Capt. Walker's company, Spartan ri? fles, attached to the regiment of Col. Micah Jenkins. He served through campaign of '61. in Virginia, with this command, and early in '62 was trans? ferred to the 5th regiment of cavalry, Capt. Skinner's company from Claren? don county. He served with this com? mand until '63, when he became a ca? det in the S. C. M. A., entering again the service of his country in the fall of '64, with the Citadel batallion, serv? ing on the coast of his State until the fall of Charleston, returning with his command into North Carolina, and later by order of Gov. McGrath, re? turning to the upper part of his State to meet a threatened raid by Gen. Stoneman. The batallion soon after close of hostilities was disbanded and he returned to his home at Summer? ton. Gen. Potter had just returned to Georgetown after raiding the lower portion of the State, carrying hordes of negroes along with him, who plun? dered the homes of the people, carry? ing off stock and valuables at will. These negroes continued to make raids in the "country, committing like depra dations, for there was no civil law ta stop them, all was chaos and disorder It was while defending the homes, and protecting the property 'of his neighbors and friends that he incur? red the enmity of the dominant party of radicals and scalawags, who came to prey upon the vitals of our people, and left the State as hundreds had to do, rather than be subjected to un? just treatment by those who had no love for the south. He went to New York, assumed the name of Thomas, studied civil engineering, and engaged in railroad construction for a number of years, later going to Canada, where he lived until Gen. Hampton was elected governor. After his return home he retained his assumed name by legislative enactment. For a num? ber of years he was active in politics, was appointed railroad commissioner by Gov. Tillman. Afterwards was elected and served for years. He made one of the best commissioners the State ever had, accurate, bold and just in his work. He was married three times-first to Miss Annie You mans Peters, a young lady belonging to one of the first families of Pleasant Valley. New York, by whom he had two children, Mrs W. E. Felder, of Summerton, and K. D. Thomas, of Florence. S. C.: second, to Miss Annie Frezil Caldwell, of Charleston, from this union there are two children also, Mrs. R. D. Zimmerman, of St Mat? thews. S. C., and J. C. Thomas, of Washington. D. C.: third, to Miss Mary Emma Caldwell, of Wedgefield, who survives him, with three children. Adele, Julia and Homy Ragin Thom? as. During the last f?w years of his life Mr. Thomas did not take an active part in public affairs, remaining quiet? ly at his home, which was the abode of open-hearted hospitality to his friends. As a soldier he served his country well in whatever capacity he was plac? ed. He was a life-long member of the Methodist church. He had many true and sincere friends, who deplore his taking off. May his soul continue to grow in pow-, er throughout all the ages of the "other time." J. E. DuPre. Pisgah. S. C. HOW JAPS KEEP STRONG.

The wonderful endurance of the Japanese soldiers and sailors in the recent war has been the marvel of all nations. Both men and women are weil, happy and strong.
