OBITUARIES.

EOLINE, the eldest child Of Capt.
D. r. and S. G. Williams, departed
this life August 9th, 1871, at the resi-
dence of her grandparents near this
village. Her stay was brief in this
world-only three years, one month,
and one day, but during that tine
she was the household treasure, a
sweet child, beloved by all-and now
that she is gone, darkness has fallen
on an earthly home-but a brighter
light shines in Heaven. How pre-

Crops at Ninety-Six-A Plea for Red
Oats.


Messrs. Editors: In this age of i'm,
provements and inventions every
class of mankind, whether practical,
literary or religious, has some means
by which it's members are made &C.
quainted with each others doing,
either by Conventions, Associations,
or some other way, except the farmer
and he really needs such an associa-
ton more than all the others. A
great many farmers are ignorant of
supply and demand, and because they
happen to have a fine crop, suppose
that every one else is equally tortu-
nate, or if they have made failure
they suppose that cotton will surely
command high figures, not knowing
that their little section is but small
speck in the great world in which VIC
live. Borrowing from the political
world l have concluded to interview
Ninety-six, place noted throughout
the entire State, not only for its his
toric associations with the days Of
&c, but also for the chivalry and high
toned character ever sustained by her
sons whether in the field or the far
mer. I was in Nincty-Six village
!. few days since when the following
conversation was had: "Gcntlcmen,
What is the cotton prospect this year
as compared with last? There is about
two-ffths LEGS planted, one third less
fertilizers used, %i:" cu:i~>V;:rHt!; !!.r
crop will not he over balf . crop.
Low is the corn crop? Eariy corn lis
quite good and there will be nearly
enough corn made this year to do US.
What of the wheat crop? That, Sir, is
almost a failure, not more than one
third OF crop madc.
How is the oat crop? Very fine
indeed. What variety is sown? The
red oats, sir. What great advantage
has that variety over the others?
We'll, sir, it stands the winter better
and is not subject to blast, and never
rusts. What timo is it sown2 We
SOW it any time between the 1st of
and tho 1st November
What kind Of lands do you sow2 Our
cotton lands. What isl the modus
operandi? We take small plow
and run around the cotton throwing
the dirt to the nliddles, just as in cul-
tivating the cotton and then SOW
about two bushels seed to the acre
and put q barrow through each row
and you will have tho oats in drills,
and they will not interfere at all with
the gathering of the cotton. What
amount is usually made? From thir-
ty to fifty bushels. DR.. Anderson and
Mr.. Floyd made fifty, and Capt. Nc
caslan this year upon thrce and a
half acres made two hundred dozen,
ed away twenty-five dozen and,
;hreshed one hundred and seventy
i've bushels. What can these oats be
mad at? One dollar per bushcl. Any
of the merchants have them, Messrs.
g.. Son, Mr.. Hall and Mr.
L. NJ. Fooche, all have them. Any
of this highly manurcd land sown in
the way described above will make a
fine yield. Any farmer who will try
them once by the above directions
will never be without them again.
What kind Of q clover and stock coun-
try is this? The best in the State per-.
haps. What varieties of stock have
you? Derbam and Devon cows, Nc
riuo sheep, Essex, Berkshire and
Chester hogs-cach have their aG-
vocates here. -.

The following is from the Edse6eld

terday (Tuesday) our streets were
alive with ten (so-called) negro Ku-
Klux from Aiken, arrested and
brought here before R. W. Cannon,
ESQ, United States Commissioner by
Deputy United States Marshall A. NJ.
Cochran. From all we can gather it
appears that these negroes, in compa.
my with some ten others, armed with
guns and pistols on the night Of the
-3lst of July, went to the house OF
Mr. Isaac Shelhouse, living some ten
miles from Aiken, threatened the
family, tore down the fencing around
the house, alarmed tie ladies, and
stated that they had come to arrest
one Porter, accused of killing q negro;
that they bsd reason to believe Por.
ter was there, end they intended to
have him. Porter was not tbero,
however, but man by the name ot
Peterson was, and without a shadow
Of authority they arrested him, car.

RIOT AND BLoODsHED.-On Monday
evening, between and 10 o'clock, I'VE
were startled by hearing the discharge
of firearms, as if skirmish was going
on Ill Main street, near the court house.
Upon proceeding to the spot, we learned
that q party of the United States SOL
diers. stationed here, had opened ire
upon q crowd at the corner of Main
and Liberty streets, and that two me-
groes were wounded, ono in the arm
and one i'll the thigh. We saw both
the wounded. The first had seyel g
flesh wound in the forearm, which lie
received ns he was proceeding toward
the place of conflict, some 100 Yards
distant. The other, quiet la,I, re-
ceived ball in the thigh. the result Of
which may yet prove fntal. The next
day third negro was brought into
town with flesh wound in the head,
WHO said that ho had recei ycd tbr
wound from the firing of tile soldiers
the night before, and that he had iled
into tho country. We learn also tint
one oi the soldiers was wounded by II
pistol shot III the leg. This, We hear,
was tho first shot fired. An nyestiga-
ton Will lie made, and tho truth, whut-
ever it be, will, doubtless, be nscer-
talned. Some i'll feeling, it appears,
had existed between some Of the aol.
diers and some negroes.
When we arrived upon tho sccno of
action, we found the acting Intenlnnt.

endeavoring to allay tho excitement
and to prevent further bloodshod

with detachment of his men, was also

may have caused the riot, 20 trust that

it out.-Snmter Ne,os.
