FROM ALLENDALE.
ALLENDALE Depot, P. r. R. r.
November 10Th, 1872.

ALLEND3LE DEPOT, J.. N. n. H.,
November 10Th, 1872.
EDITOR BEAUFORT REPUBLICAN:
DEAR SIR:-Pressure of business has
alone prevented me from writing the let
ter | promised, of matters connected
with this depot and surrounding country
/ now take pleasure in complying with
that promises.
| estimated that at the end of the
season 1900 bales cotton will have been
shipped from this depot. About 100
bales have already beel shipped, which
is regarded as two-thirds of the crop.
We continually receive heavy ship
ments of freight. In the neighborhood
of the depot several substantial stores
have been erected and more in process of
building. About 80 los have been sold
by Mcssrs. Richardson and Williams,
who are the proper parties to apply ts by
those wishing to purchase lots. Dlmen'
sions Of lots are l05 feet square.
The country around here is locked
upon as one of the best cotton growing
sections in the State.
IF the business done at this depot is
any criterion, to judge of the ultimate
success of the Port Royal railroad is
certain, in fact the road may be called a
success already. I have learnt from re-
sponsible parties that hotel is soon to
be put up here. The plan has already
drawn out and workmen are now engaged
in hewing timber. I understand the
railroad compayyintend having a machine
shop and turn table.
Upon the whole, Judging from present
Indications, Allendale station is destined
to be of some importance.
Yours truly,
Z. R. B.

to bring together, within building COW
ering fifty acres, not only the varied pro-
ductions ofour mihes and OF the soil, but
types of all the intellectual triumphs of
our citizens, specimens of everything that
America can furnish, whether from the
brains or the hands Of her children, and
thus make evident to the world the ad-
yancement of which a self governed peO-
pie is capable.
In this Celebration" all nations will
be invited to participate; its character
beng International. Europe will display
her arts and manufactures, India her GU
rious fabrics, while nelly opened China
and Japan will lay bare the treasures
which for centuries their ingenious peo-
pie have been perfecting. Each land
will compete in generous rivalry for the
palm of superior excellence.
To this grand gathering every zone will
contribute its fruits and cereals. No
mineral shall be wanting; for what the
East lacks the West will supply. Under
one reof will the South display in rich
luxuriance her growing cotton, and the
North in miniature. the ccaseless mach
inery of her mills converting that cotton
into cloth. Each section of the globe will
send its best offerings to this exhibition,
and each State of the Unien,. as MEM
Der of one united body polite. will show
to her sister States and to the world, how
much she can add to the greatness of the
| nation of which she is ACRIMONIOUS part.
To make the Centennial Celebration
such success as the patriotism and the
pride Of every American demands will re-
quire the cooperation Of the people of
the whole country. The United States
Centennial Commission has received no
Government aid, such as England ex-
tended to her Worlds Fair, and France
to her Universal Exposition, yet the labor
and responsibility imposed upon the COM
mission is as great as in either of those
undertakings. 1t is estimated that ten
millions Of dollars will be required, and
this sum Congress has provided shall be
raised by stock subscription, and that the
people shall have the opportunity of sub
scribing in proportion to the population
of their respective States and Territories.
The commission looks to the unfailing
patriotism of the peoDle of every section,
to see that each contributes its share to
the expenses, and receives its share of the
benefits of an enterprise in which all are
so deeply interested 1t would further
earnestly urge the formation in each
State and Territory of a centennial organ
ization, which shall in time see that
county associations are formed, so that
when the nations are gathered to gether
in 1876 each commonwealth can view
with pride the contributions she ha:
made to the national glory.
Confidently relying on the zeal and
patriotism ever displayed by our people
in every national undertaking, we pledge
and prophecy, that the Centennial Cele
bration will worthily show how greatness
wealth and intelligence, can be fosterec
by such institutions as those which have
for one hundred years blessed the people
Of the United states.

Disastrous Fire on EdistO Island.

The store and clubhouse Of Mr.. Jno.
Wright, situated on Edisto Island, about
one mile from the wharf, were destroyed
by fire at one O'Clock last Wednes sday.
The fire originated in the moteing room,
and was caused by an attempt to light a
pipe made by colored woman employed
therein. The room was filled with a
dense mass of floating lint, which ignited
from a match the woman had struck.
The progress of the flames was so rapid
that the gin house hands barely escaped
with their lives. Several were severely
burned. One colored woman had every
particle of clothing burnt off of her, and
her condition was such that she was not
expected to live out yesterday. The gin
house contained ten Mccarthy gins, a
corn mill and bolting machine, grain fans,
elevators, and other machinery as well as
about twenty-four bales of sea island cot
ton and two thousand bushels sea island
cotton seed, all of which was completely
destroyed. The store contained large
stock of dry goods, groceries, &C., all of
winch, excepting ABOUT one nunureu anu
fifty dollars worth of dry goods, were
lost. There was no insurance The loss is
estimated at between thirty five and forty
thousand dollars, Of the cotton destroy
ed, about eighteen bales were the indi-
vidual property of Mr.. Wright. The re-
manning six bales were owned by MGior
Carl Berlin, Mcssrs. g. l.. Marsteller, a.
Berg, S. J.. Baynard, and colored man
named James Hutchinson. OF these
Major Berlin is the heaviest loser. Mr..
Wright is at present in New Yo:k. The
store and gin house were under the man
agement of Mr.. &. Stevens, who has had
charge of them for the past four years.

How TO HAVE Coop LAwNs.-We are glad
TO see so much increased attention paid to the
lawns in this and portions of the adjoining
counties. The residents branching out from
our large city are clearly acquiring a good
taste as It regards the appearance of their pre-
misses. A good lawn which will last for many
years, should be prepared as follows: In the
first place the ground must be well-broken up
for the seed by deep plowing, careful pulver-
ioatiou and heavy manuring. Sow plentiful
fy of the following seeds mixed in equal pro-
portions: rye-grass, bluegrass and white
clover, then rake the seed i'm and narrowing
will be unnecessary If the seed is sown just
before rain it will be great advantage
Commence moving the young grass when
thres Of four inches high, not too closely, and
continue 30 do so with machine-cutter every
eight or ten days. Eoery other gear top-dress
in autumn with a good coat of fine barnyard
manure evenly spread.
This is way to secure smooth, velVety
dark-green lawn, one of the most charming
objects about well-kept premises. 7~

seed in august; but would not recommend il
