l:,ath of Mr. w. c. Davis.

It becomes QUE moHrnful duty to announce
the demise of Mr. William c. Davis, of Char
lesion, which sad event occurred at the resi-
dence of his fa&her-in-law, Hon. ]. P. Reed at
q quarter to eleven O'Clock, yesterday morning,
after an illness Of sesea months duration. Mr..
Davis was the Junior partner in the house Of
Dowie, Noise 6 Davis, and was widely known
TO the citizens. Of this and adjoining States,
and We may truthfully declare that he was
highly esteemed wherever known for his
upright, gentlemanly demeanor, and excellent
business qualifications. He made friends with
astonishing rapidity, and maintained his friend
ships and business connections with rare
fidelity. As an honorable, high toned gentle
man, and steadfast, devoted friend, we have
never known his superior, and rarely his equal.

thirty.two years of age.

PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE.-The cores
pondent of the Charleston Ne,os and Courier,
mentioning the alarm of fire which occurred
during his stay in our town, remarks "upon the
folly which leads the people of our up-country
towns to wait until their property has been
swept away at least once by fire before they
provide themselves with the means of prevent
ing it. single hand engine would, under
proper management, be sufficient to avert such
catastrophe rs that which prostrated Able
Vile a short time ago. Anderson is now as
helpless as Abbeville was at that time. AT the
alarm on Saturday night all were constrained
to acknowledge this helplessness, and in the
absence of O better instrument every man
except one forgot 10 bring out bucket. The
example Of that one man is worth being re-
membered,"

A Valuable Invention.

The Sumter Watchnsan Informs ps that our
esteemed friend, Rev. John Nd. Carlise, has per-
fected and improved the Corn Husker, which
he invented and patented last year, and that it
is now complete success. The machine is
simple, and costs only moderate price. 1t
cuts off the stem of the ear, and splits the
husk lengthwise, into numerous pieces. This
is an invention long needed by the farmers, and
with tAe prospect of large corn crop next
year, we think fine opportunity is offered to
push the invention as there is money in it,
State and County rights are now for sale, at
reasonable prices, and correspondence is invited
by the inventor, who mary be addressed at
SUMTER S. C. Mr.. Carlisle is so we'll known to
our people that it is needless to say whatever
representations he may make in regard to the
Corn Husker may be relied upon implicitly.

The Singer Still Triumphant /!

A T the Vienna Exhibition, the SINGER re-
N. ceived the Medal of Merit, the Medal of
Progress, and three other Medals for superiori-
ty Of productions. These are the highest iSe,vi7,g
Machine d,gdrds ut Vienna. The Singer re-
ceived all the Medals awarded to either Of the
competing machines, and two Medals morethan
any other obtained. Then, in the name of truth,
what is it that prompts people to claim recon-
mendations for the Diploma of Honorr The
fact is, no Diploma of Honor has been given to
any Sewing Machine Company. But immeas-
urably more valuable is 1-Tne Worlds Award"
as shown by sales-proved by sworn returns to
the owners of the principal Sewing Machine
Patents-which last year Amounted to 2l9,75S
Machines, nine out of ten of them being for
family use. This is over $1,000 more Sewing
Machines than were sold by any other COMPANY
during the same period, and over one-quarter
of all the Machines sold in 1872. These enor-
nous sales are owing to the long-tested merits
of the SINGER Machines, which meet the
wants Of the public in superiority and simplici-
ty Of construction, and capahility for great va
riety and excellence of work. It's remarkable
not only for the range and variety of its sewing,
but also for the variety and different kinds of
texture which it will sew with equal facility
and perfection, using silk twist, linen or cotton
thread, fine or coarse, making the inter-locked
elastic stitch, alike on both sides Of the fabric
sewn.

The circus agent erected high board fence,
between the Court House and the public we'll,

wondered whether or not there will be such

Doubtless our readers observed that Messrs
Cook and Cheek, of Atlanta, who are the pro-
prietors of the Kennesaw Mills, received a
premium at our County Fair for their excellent

The correspondent Of the Charleston Nesos
and Courier In referring to the sickness in and
around. Anderson this summer, says "that it is
estimated that no less than eight hundred cases
Of malarial fever have occurred" We do not
suppose the entire number of cases in Ander-
son County will reach this aggregate, and feel
confident that not one-fourth that number oc-
cur.ed in the vicinity of Anderson, the large
majority of which were outside the corporate
limits.

New YORK, Nov. 7, Il

NEW YORK, Nov. 7, 1873.
During the past thirty days our cotton mar
ket has witnessed constantly declining prices,
until the quotation has reached 13b cents for
low middling, the lowest value seen since 1861,
period of twelve years.
Among the causes that have brought US to
this figure, are the extraordinary financial
pressure experienced throughout the country,
the decline in the premium on gold, the low
rates ruling for foreign exchange and the high
est rates of freight to Europe that have been
known here for years-each, or all, of which
are unusually depressing in their influences,
and forming a combination of circumstances
which have tended to bring US to uncommonly
low prices.
The financial condition at present existing in
this country has been produced more from fear
than from any fact that exists. Some of our
heaviest commercial and manufacturing con-
Germs have been obliged to suspend, and they
have been found to have large wealth, and as
vet none have been proved insolvent. The
crisis has come upon SOUND mercantile COM
munity hence, when the skies brighten, the
power of recuperation will be great, and affairs
will mend steadily and perhaps rapidly.
The Bank Of England has raised its rate to
per cent. This is not the result of any un-
sound condition in England, but is somewhat
in fear of a large drain of gold by this coun.
Try, and possibly because, seeing the financial
necessities of this country, they bring the pres
sure to bear while their people are laying in
their stocks of cotton and breadstufs. When
this has been accomplished money will get
cheap in England, and by lst March we con-
fidently expect to see the Bank rate down to
4 per cent, and the inauguration OF a great
speculation, both in cotton and goods; and those
who are now selling cotton will look back with
wonder at the change which few months have
produced.
At the present values. the planter is forced
to part with his best cotton at prices below
cost of production; and as his best grade IS
bringing but II cents per pound in the interior
what will he get for the poorer? 1t Will not
be many months before the question will also
be asked as to the effect on the planting next
year. Will the planter part with h:s crop. at
present prices, or will he only sell such portion
as will pay his pressing indebtedness, and hold
firmly to the remainder? Whenever the plan
ters begin to hold their cotton, prices will ad-
vance, and that rapidly. Let those that are
forced to part with their cotton replace 1t by
future contracts here

A WASHINGTON dispatch to the Baltimore

"A Washington dispatch to the Baltimore
Sun says: Statements have been freely cir
culated for several days past that Gen. Butler
will lead the movement to secure the assump-
tion of the Southern State debts by the general
government. When this idea was first broach-
ed by Gov. Walker, of Virginia, it was not
looked upon in a serious light at all. But it is
now said that there is to be concerted move
ment on the part of a majority of the Southern
members, assisted by certain members from the
West, to put the thing through: In the pres
ent state of the finances it can hardly be sup
posed, however, that any such attempt as this
will be made even by Gen Butler"

Famine and Crime at the North.

The New York Herald says that with the
approach of cold weather comes the old, old
story of desperate robberies from dwellings
and from the person. I'm most of these cases
it is found that want drives to the commission
of crime. The poor wretch, who sees his wife
and children shivering with the first cold and
feeling the change all the more severely from
the lack of sufficient food, rushes forth to find
some relief, even at the risk of liberty"
The terrible significance Of this paragraph
can scarcely be realized in the South, where
such state of things has never existed, ex-
cept in isolated cases, here and there. But the
hundreds and thousands in the great cities and
all over the manufacturing districts of the
North, who have been thrown out of employ
ment just as the cold weather approaches, and
with naught save starvation staring them in
the face, with gaunt want cleaning and glaring
upon them on every hand, are driven to des"
perate measures, and scarcely withhold their
lands frea the goods of their rich neighbors,
who have grown purse-proud and glutted with
gold at the expense Of the poor. The slavery
of the South was truly benefcert and benig-
nant compared with the intolerable burdens of
the poorer classes in the great cities and manu-
featuring centres of the North. AS the first
fruits of the financial troubles, we have the
statement of robberies to prevent augmented
miseries. Time will make only additional
revelations of this character, and the coming
winter will enhance the desperate struggle be.
tween the laborer aud the capitalist.

The prospectS of Cotton.

The Atlanta Consultation devotes much at
tention to the cotton crop, and in late num-
Der expresses its conclusions in the following
paragraph:
''The future looks gloomy to us. There can
be no permanent rise in cotton until there Is a
better demand for it. The cotton mills OF the
United States have been consuming %, 600 bales
per week now it is reduced to 10000 per week.
Those who sell their cotton now at 123 cents,

TALK PLAIN.

TT is as much of an impossibility
/ for a Merchant to carry on his
Business without MONEY, as it is
for a Farmer or Mechanic to work
without Tools. This is plain
fact, and we respectfully beg leave
to urge our friends who are indebt-
ed to US for Supplies and Goods of
any description to bear this in
mind, and to come FORWARD PROMPT
LY and settle their Bills and Notes.
Cotton is at a low price just now,
and there is a probability of its
going lower therefore, you run
great risk in holding, while you
may make money by selling now.
It would be much more to our ad-
vantage to pay the Planter 20 cts.
for his Cotton, provided we could
be safe in so doing,) than to give
him the present prices. But you
know we cannot have things our
way.
The Notes you gave us for
SIMS WAGONS are now falling
due, and our instructions from the
Factory is to urge prompt payment
according to your promise.
Our Stock of Goods is new and
complete, and for Cash or Cotton
we will sell cheaper than Goods
have been sold in Anderson since
the War. Prove US by our works,
and come see for yourselves.
