The Southern and Northern Presbyterian
Synods met in joint session
in Lexington, Ky., on Wednesday for
the first time since the civil war, and
celebrated tho one hundredth anniversary
of the establishment of the

marks an epoch in the church history
as it is looked upon as the beginning
of the end of an historic schism.
Itr-seems that peace is about to b *

These reports aro at once sent in to

of the cotton cicpcan bo learned. Every

REPORT OS COTTON.
A new feature, to secure quickly
accurate statistics of the cotton crop.
The Un.ted States Census OITico v>i!l
publish returns at frequent intervals j
during the ginning season, and iu
time to be of humenso valuo to the "j
producers. ,
Mr. Orus T. Belue, of Ui.iou, has
been aj pointed u local special ag< nt j
of the Census (Jflice to collect cotton I 1
"i'lni"" statistics for this county. I
h'"" o " '
and we join the Government in urg- j
ing the ginners to give Mr. Belue ]
their hearty support and co-operation,
thus enabling him to make prompt
and accurate returns. Wo would
impress upon the ginners the fact
that this agent is a sworn officer of
the Government, and that their reports,
are forwarded as given to hi in
directly to the Census Office, at
Washington, without passing through
the hands of any middlemen. The
information given is held as strietly
confidential, and the operations of
individual ginners are not divulged.
Upon the j lint co-operation of the
cotton growers, ginners and local
/gouts must depend the success of
tiie Census Ollicc in his inquiry, and
its ability to render this great service
to the Southern people and to all interested
in the cotU.i staple.
The Census Office has demonstrated
in three annual reports, tho fact
that the ginners are the only reliable
source of information us to the volume
of the annual cotton crop. This
is very complimentary to the ginners,
who, no doubt, will feel a pride in
sustaining the reputation earned.
In recognition of this interest
shown by the giuncrs, and of a general
demand for more frequent reports
through this source, Congress,
in the net creating a permanent ce nsus
office, Tprovided for the collection
and publication of these statistics at
intervals during the ginning season.
Forthecrop of 1 ?2 the office will
issue three reports: the fir.it two will
cover the quantity of cotton ginned
ap to and including October IS and
December Id, respectively; an I the
final report will cover the total qunti
titv ginned from the growth of ltMg.
lteali/.ing that the collection of the
data for theso reports is mtule at a
season when the ginr.ers' time is
greatly taxed, and appreciating the
necessity for prompt returns, the
Census Ollice has located, in cncli
county containing ton or more ginneries
an agent", who will visit estvh
ginnery in the county and secure u !
report of tlie quantity of cotton ginned
up to certain dales. In undertaking
the frequent i.nd hurried reports
now sought, it is of vital importance
that the returns be made with
absolute uniformity, and that all be
received at Washington at one time.
This result could not be expect .d
from individual requests made by
mail of :> ),<?;hi ginners, at a time
when they are engrossed in their ginning
work. Furthermore, the Census
Odice must be kept advised of all
changes in the management and operation
of these establishments, an 1
secure returns from all new und revived
plants. To accomplish such
results, it becomes necessary for tho
ollico to have local representatives
who shall be charged with the duty
of keeping in close touch with tho
ginning industry in each county, and
of promptly reporting the quantity
of cotton ginned.
Tiio statistics for tho October report
will be collected during tho week
beginning with Monday, October !20,
and ginners should keep such records
as wi'l enable them to furnish promptly
the required information. These
returns will be tabulitcd, and the
result published within oao week
from their receipt at Washington.
Cotton statistics collected through I
the commercial system, however ac- j
curatcly compiled, fall short of the |
demand of both producer and manu- j
facturer?first, in that us they cover
the quantity of cotton marketed between
September I of one year and
Vugust Ml of tho following, they are
lot statistics of a crop grown in any j
.no your; ami second, in the liability |
0 error involved in statistics so com- !
oiled. Nothing short of official re- }
; ,oorta, made sufficiently early to form
1 basis of prices, will entirely satisfy '
the cotton grower or manufacturer,

I am pleased to know that the sentiments
expressed by Thk Times on
the new pistol 1 iw have met with general
endorsements wherever read, and
that a higher respect is shown the
law tlnn any one of a kindred nature
heretofore. I believe it will eventually
succeed and be the means of
putting down tho cowardly practice
of carrying pistols altogether amorg
tho more respectable class of people.
Your correspondent visited that
wido-nwako and progressive farmer
citizen, Mr. W. S. Wilkinson, of
Hickory Grove, last week and examined
his molasses making plant,
which is the most extensive and
unique of any one he knows of in
South Carolina. It has n capacity of
15o gallons per day. The mill is run
by steam and the juice is carried
through a series of pipes to the evap
oraior, wnere it is prepared lor a
large boiler where the finishing touch
is given the molasses, and where the
molasses is tested before putting up
for uso or shipment. Everything is
nicely handled. Much of It is put
up in buckets of gallon and half gallon
sizes, these are labeled and shipped.
He uses barrels for the shipment
of larger quantities. It will
pay any of our farmers to visit an 1
see Mr. Wilkinson's plant before they
go into raising another crop. The
labor saved to say nothing of the superior
quality of the molasses will
soon pay the expense of putting up
similar machines.
My heart goes out in sympathy to
the parents, grand parents and families
of little Grace Wood and Flita
MayWilliims who were buried in
the same coflin at Foster's Chapel
Wednesday of last wetk. It was indeed
a solemn scene and sore Providential
visitation. I)ut
Those little babes so sweet and fair
Called hence by earthly doom,
Have gone to show how sweet the
flow ers
In Paradise which bloom.
Ere sin could harm or sorrow fr.do
Death came with tender care,
And in his arms these jewels bore
To mansions bright and fair.

1 understand that a colored man
WU3 shot accidentally or.o night last,
week near Union Grove church by
Mr. Marlise Roberta. There are
different reports about it and I forbour
saying anything unless I knew howit
was. At last accounts the man
was thought to ho in a fair way to
recover, but at iirst the wound was
tbought to be fatal.
J am much pleased with Tub Times
reproduction of articles on the infant
railroad enterprise in this State.
This is history well worth preserving
and I recommend it to the readers as
such. Also the Texas and other letters
go to make the paper an interesting

Farmers will get ready to sow
wheat early this full. The cottc n
will all he picked out soon and the
sowing of wheat and oats will commence.
Mr. W. S. Wilkinson, a
close observer, says this is the time
to sow wheat expecting a fair crop
next year. He sajs after a dry summer
tlie ground is better prepared
lira small grain crop. Too much
rain during the summer season
leaches the land and deprives it of n
great deal of its plant food, especial.

A tribute of Ion e from the Woman's
Foreign Missionary Society of Ebcnezer
church 1o the memory of Mrs.
S. E. Chick who was culled home
June 7, 11)02, aged SO years.
A cheerful, quiet, unassuming

ready to lend a helping hand to the
needy and alllicted; sho will be sadly

christian life embracing so many
years and bearing such abundant
fruit to the glory of God, was a blessing
to all who came within her influence.
Her memory will bo an inspiration
to us all. lie has called .
home a beloved co-laborer, one who
was very highly esteemed for hen
faithfulness in good works.
Therefore be it Resolved,
1st. That we bow in humble submission
to "Him who doeth all things
well," remembering that our lo3S is i
hor gain. j
2nd. That wo bo admonished lo
watch and be also ready for wo have:
only a little longer to wait and watch 1
and work for tho Master, for tho
night cometh when no man can woik.

ones to tho loving Father,
"whoso grace is sufficient for all j
things." '

olutions be sent to the bereaved ones
