Many Of these vessels aro popular carriers, ane
We're well known by parties residing on the differ
ent rivers, but none perhaps had the reputation
borne by the old Planter. Whether this popularit,
| was owing to her name, or to that Of her owner
Captain J. c. FERGUSON, it is hard to saw; but i
is gratifying to know that though renovated and
repaired until ehe now ''walks the water like q
thing of ife," yet her old prestige remains, and
her patronage is the Same as in days gone by.
The first trip Of this boat since her return will be
gratifying snccess for she has fully equalled the
past IN quality and quantity of freight taken Her
destination will be Cheraw and the intermediate
landings ON the Pee Dec River, and her cargo CON
s'sts of 1900 bags of guano 1000 of corn 800 or 900
Of salt, and sundries.
There is no better sign of the state Of the coun-
t-y, and u the desire of the planters to perse-
we're In their agricultural operations than the pur-
chase of these supplies in such large quantities.
1t Is an evidence Of prosperity that even Terrific
rial Governments cannot prevent. and, come what
may, while the planting interests are preserved we
can breast the storm.
y TEnRus FuarT.-seWe take no note Of time but
by its loss, has been beautifully illustrated during
the past few days, by the stoppage of ST. l1chaeps
clock As if to put new phase on tho matter
each face tells different tale, and the bewildored
gazer is puzzled to know what is the correct hour
Old Father Time, who is popularly supposed to
be always marching on, has evidently come to
halt, or his satellites, the time-keepers are sadly
astray. The staid character Of ST. lichaers clock
is gone, for the turmoil now being raised in the
bclfry has paralyzed her hands, and they hang
idly on the face, pointing to unneaning figures,
that only puzzle instead Of en1ightening. n
It has been the practice for SO many years to
regulate all watches by st. Michaels, that many
unthinkingly altered their chronometers to suit
the Vagar1es OF the steeple, and didnot discover
their error until they either went too late for bank
hours or home too soon for dinner. The old fogies
We're thrnder-struck, and those who always swore
by st. Michaels clock now swore as savagely ct it.
The whole community was thrown into state Of
confusion and excitement that was only calmed by
the soothing tones Of the twelve-oclock bell at the
Orphan House.
As this state OF affairs is likely TO- continue for
several days, hasten to allay the apprehensions
expressed by many that the keeper! Of the clock
had fallen from the steeple, or that the work had
become rusty from long exposure. Neither is the
case. Father Time is still his et-rnal tramp, and
those who put their faith in st. Michaers should
remember that t'time and tide wait for no man.,

unhealthy condition of affairs will not long con
tnue, the contemplated repairs will be soon made,
and ST. Mchaeps clock will then become more than
ever sign Of the times.
