State Nehs,

James Clark, deceased, who removed from
Virginia in 1S20-'25, and whose mothers
maiden name was Mitchell, will hear of
something to their advantage, by applying
at this Office, by letter or otherwise.-Ptch-
ems Courier.
A KAoL1NE PIToHER.-E. K, of this
Office, returns his most grateful acknowledge
ments to Mr.. W. H. Farrar for handsome
pitcher of the Kaoline ware. We are glad
to hear that the factory is prospering aud to
prosper. 1t is an enterprise of which our
State should be proud, and one which the
people of the State should patrouize literally
whenever opportunity ofers.-EdgsfsM Ad-
Uertsser.
OATs.-Mr. Francis O'Connor, of Mount
Vintage, exhibits shock of oats, freshly
cut, measuring some five feet in height and
heavily headed. They seem to be Of an ex-
tra-superior kind, and reflect great credit,
either upon the farm that grew them or the
farmer that sowed them, or perhaps (better
stilD upon both. Mr. o. O'Connor will sell these
oats at So per bushel, or will give peck to
any one who wants to try the seed.-Eage-
field Adusrtiser.
FORT M1LLs.-"Long Crabs" the we'll
known and agreeable correspondent of the
Lancaster Ledger, in a recent letter from
Charlotte, says of this place: The name was
Intended to be Fort Hill, as there is an old
Indian Fort near by and hill on both sides
of the depot, but in sending on the name to
the Post Master General for post ofhce, he
ascertaired there was Fort Hill post Office
in the State, and substituted Fort Mill. The
nameI suppose is satisfactory, but to me,
thenames of Whiteville orSpringsville would
be more appropriate and significant.
SAVINGS INsT1rUTIoNs.-The Charles
ton Courier of Saturday says: As an evil
dence of the usefulness and good tendencies
Of savings institutions, and of the plethora of
money and prosperity of the laboring class
of our community especially, we take plea
sure in stating the fact, that since the lst
day of January last, period of only four
months, the Charleston Savings Institution
has received on deposit, the aggregate and
very large sum of four hundred thousand dol
lars. OF this very handsome sum, We under
stand that much the largest portion has been
contributed in limited amounts by laborers.
INFORMATION WANTED.-A. Olsewski,
who halls from Davidson County, N c., and
who follows the business of teaching the
'smanly art of self.defence," and broad d-sword
exercise, came to Greenville few weeks
since, and after teaching class in the above
sciences, left the place without paying his
board bill, which amounts to S22. If this
paragraph should meet his eye, he will per-
form service which he owes to himself by
forwarding thatamount to David Bell, Green
vile. Any information concerning him will
be thankfully received.-GreenviNe Enter
prise.
TRACK Extraordinarily anxious as to
the progress of track laying on our railroad,
We asked John Turner, our stage driver, how
the work was getting on. John says wag-
on left Union last week, with goods for this
place, and it required all the efforts of the
driver, with whip and voice, to keep his
team ahead. Probably this is exaggeratioa,
but it gives assurance that the road is COM
ing pretty rapidly, and We shall probably
hear the whistle at the depot about the lst
November, if our people will take a few more
thousands in preferred stock.-SpartanJurg

RARE COMA copper coin was recently
picked up in Marlboro District, not far from
Gen. Green's camp, on Hicks Creek, the
like. of which the oldest inhabitant has 30
recollection of having ever seen. Though
much worn, it still bears marks of the skill
of the artist. On one side the letters "U.
s." occupy the centre, surrounded by a
wreath, and the words, "Libertas Justicia,
17S3." On the reverse is constellation,
consisting of a large star, with an open GEN.
tire of about three .eighths of an inch, in the
middle, of which there is figure resembling
an eye. The large star has thirteen radia-
ting points, and between these there are
thirteen small stars, with the words, "Nouo
Coaaelatto." The coin is about the usual
size, but thin. The milling is still visible
on the edge.-Cheraw Gazette.
TANNERS CONVENTIONAL neighbor of
mine suggests the propriety of the owners
of tanyards meeting at an early day in con-
vention. The business, in part, would be
as follows: To get, through Charleston mer-
chants, constant supply Of soundly dried
hides. I'd. To instruct up-country how to
furnish low country with bark. Sd. To es-
tablish uniform process in tanning thorough
ly; and, lastly, to settle uniform wages, to
secure the skill and labor of tanners who
know their calling. Yankee leather, for
the want of bark and hasty tanning, is not
water proof. Outdoor laborers in our moist
and changeable winters should have dry
feet, else the annual scourges-pleurisy,
bronchitis, penumonia, dysentry and malig
naut diarrhea. Capitalists engaged in the
same vocation do better when they know
each other personally and take counsel to-
gether for their common interest.-AJJeriWe
