(Ldcih xr* wocmoiH BANKERS DECLARE McLAURIN WRONG. Charge Against Southern Financiers Not True in Charleston?Willing to Lend Money. Charleston, Sept. 20.?Several prominent bankers here emphatically deny John L. McLaurin's charges in the morning papers that Southern bankers are trying to make financing of the cotton crop difficult. Others say they have no reply to make, "considering the source." That Charleston banks do not deal with the farmers and are therefore not in position to say anything about the matter, and one banker, asked for a statement, showed the following letter, which he said his bank has mailed to every banker in the State: "We beg to notify you that we are in position to discount for you at a low rsti> nf intpr-Aaf nntiia nf wnnr v farmers secured by warehouse re^ ceipts, provided the cotton is stored in properly graded, and would be Icept insured against fire to its market value for our benefit. We would bo very glad to have you communicate with us on the subject." ^ KELTON Kelton, Sept. 21.?We had a fine shower of rain last night, which was very much needed. All kinds of crops were burning up rapidly. Late cotton, which was very promising, has been cut short. The farmers are very busy just now picking cotton, etc. The cotton cron on the Ridge will be short. I hope the price will make up for the shortness. Mr. and Mrs. Landy Hames, with other friends from Union, passed through this community last Sunday afternoon and visited the burying grounds of Flat Rock church, where Mr. Hames' great-grandfather and great-grandmother, Edmund and Nancy Hames, with other relatives are buried. These were among the leading families of this section of Union county, who settled in this community over a century ago. Mrs. Hames was looking and inquiring after any old Revolutionary or any American sol diers graves. If there are any at either the old or new burying places there is nothing to mark their graves. Probably some may be buried at the old church burying ground. The first or second person buried there was Bill or Zack Mabry, in the year 1807, as my father told me. May the Lord bless the noble women, for they are always engaged in some great and good work. Rev. J. R. Copeland of the Kelton circuit is off to Buffalo this week to assist in a special meeting.

A certain little girl was discovered by her mother engaged in a spirited encounter with a small friend, who had got considerably worsted in the engagement. "Don't you know, dear," said the mother, "that it is very wicked to behave bo? It was Satan that put it into your head to pull Elsie's hair." "Well, perhaps it was," the child admitted, "but kicking her shins was entirely my own idea."?Sacramento Bee. _ FUR ON BOOTS WILL BE RAGE.
