Z, 'Greenviie is rapidly improving. Within the
last Six months three new stores have been
built, two on Pendleton street and one on Au-
BuoCh btICCl. II. ID. SittS, OuT leHullN

feet long, two stories high, and thirty feet

by Messrs. Clyde Hoyey, q new firm, who
business. The finish Of this store is superior
The same gentleman, month or 30 since, also
finished one of about the same Dimensions, con-
tlguously situated, for Mr. W. L. Waters.
Msssrs Mills MeBryer y two gsnsmen from
business here for the past two years, are coli
strlictlng storehouse-poW almost finished
near Lntlr Ulu one, at the corner of Augusta
and Pendleton streets.
The crops OF this section, as you know, have
been cut very short by tho severe and con-
tlnued drought during the summer, which in
many localities listed from eight to ten sue
Gsssive weeks. Corn Is consequently scarce.
phe. pt,ed new lew crop has copmenced coming In,
price one dollar per bushel from the wagon;
the price in former years was not more than
ntty cents. Notmuch Of the cotton crop,
besn brought to market in consequences or ihe
low prices now ruling. When the "kinpn
again looks up, our streets will be crowded
with wagons. A few bales, however, have
aready found their way to town.
It was my pleasure, few days since, to
ride out to the sugar mandatory works of
Aessrs James Wilhelm and Dr. w. p. Passmorc,
located within three miles OF this place. These
works are situated upon the plantation of Mrs.
Chaplin. The cane-juice proceeds from the
mill through pines TO a wooden trough, from
which 1t is permitted to flow through stoD
COCKS into copper pan; the sediment that re-
mains In this trough is of tho consistency of
mud and Is of the color Of, the cano This nan

from the embryo syrup by the sk!mning; in
the third; however, there is very little taken
away. Another pipe carries the syrup to the
Bugarh6use, whero 1t ,s deposited In fat

sugar made, which we regretted; there wns

required no more than twenty minutcs' time,
and is exceedingly simple and easily under,

works, who, Mr.. Wilhelm said, was efficient
told me he had been employed only q few
weeks. Another feature in this work is the OK
cellen. manner Iii which the cane Juice is
conveyed /; no handling being done.
This making Of sugar from the sorghum mo-

OF very great satisfaction. The result will be
