ANOTHER OCEAN STEAMER LOST.
The City of Washington, of the
Tnman line, has been wrecked on
the coast of. Nova Scotia, but for:
.tunately managed to save her cargo
and passengers. She ran the whole
way from Liverpool in a fog, at
nine or twelve knots an hour, and
when wrecked the officers were en-
tirely ignorant Of her bearings.
This fact affords sad commentary
upon the culpable ignorance or
carelessness to. which so many hu-

The SHAH OF PERsIA.-One

: THE SHAH OF PERsIA.-One of
the most notable events Of the,
times is the visit of this Eastern
potentate;to the crowned headsl OF
Europe. His !: arrival : has been
hailed with more than ordinary
excitement, andHfieets and armies
have been put in motion with the
view of impressingj him with the
power Of the West. Even the
New York Herald has sought to
excite an interest here BY long
letters from its correspondents,
Mark Twain and Edmund Yates.
The Shah, it is said, comes at the
instance of Baron. Reuter-, who has
obtained large concessions, in the
way of mo,uopolies, and who is
now making use of the Shah's
visit as mammoth advertisement
to raise the capital. The CORES
pondent of the Tribune thinks that
England certainly has been asleep
to allow this German Jew to ma
nipulate a potentate who controls
the highway to its Eastern posses
sions. 1t seems, however, to be
very doubtful whether the Baron
has any sure hold upon the Shah.
He has already spent d million: and
a half ul n his investment, and
from late accounts would be very
willing to sell out at sacrifice.
lie has caught tartar and does
not know what to do with him.

The Chsrlessn NeSs, with its Gus
tomary enterprise, has been publish;
ing reports from each of the Counties
Of tho State, as to the condition and
prospects of the growing cotton crop
from which it deduces the following
conclusions:
/. That except in the Counties oI
Atbeville and Greenvillc, the condi
ton of the crop is not so good as ii
was at this time last year. The in
crease of acreage and the quantity OF
fertilizers used have been neuLralizcd
by the unfavorable seasons, and 1t rs
estimated that the decrease in The
crop will range from ten per cent tc
thirty-three per cent. GreenvllIe
expects to make q double crop, and
AbLevillc one equal to that of last
year. .-, ... g.. s..,, =
%, That there has been genera!
decrease in The quantity Of negro la,
Dor available for agricultural purposes
attracted in the upper Counties by
the demand for labor on the railroads,
land in the lower Counties by the IN:
crease of turpenlinc distillery. The
general causes operating to diminish
the supply OF labur, and the increase
| in the number Of blacks working on
their own account, are the withdraw
al of the women and children. from
tho fields. Experience has shown
that only the most intelligent OF the
blacks can work proftably on their
own account. -.....e NJ:
Sd. That there has been q g'neral
increase. in the price Of labor, rang
ing from ten per cent. to thirty per
cent, without any material change III
its efficiency. a-..s -. - "a
4lh. That in the upper Counties
there has been a marked increase in
the application of white labor to the
cultivation of cotton. Cotton can be
cultivated proftably all through up
per South Carollua and in Union,
Oconee, and Greenvllle the quantity
Of white labor employed has doubled.
The News correspondent, J. NJ. c.,
writing from Due West under date
of July 3D.: 30 .'... ,.s..."
81. The prospects of the present
crop are extremely good, and the
yield will probably be much larger
than ,thot Of last year. a, ~ -
2. The available supply of negro
labor has not materially changed
within the past two or three years.
8. The cost of negro labor has de-
creased somewhat, and it's efficiency
has perhaps increased . little. 81. 4..
4. There has been no increase Of
white labor for cotton. culture in the

For EURopE.-Dr. j.. j. Lee
who left this place on Tuesday
last tor trip of several months in
Europe, and who has promised us
some letters of wayside adventure,
writes that he reached New York
on Thursday and secured passage
on the steamo California of the
Anch.rLine for Glasgow, which
would leave on Saturday. Con:
trary to expectation he found the
cars crowded all the way through
from Columbia, but owing to the
plentiful rains and pleasant wealth
er, had a delightful trip. The
steamer from Norfolk to New

The Railroad Convention in AbbeVille.-
Six weeks or two months aa

Six weeks or two months ago,
our esteemed contemporary, the
Beaufort Republican, proposed that
| the citizens Of Beaufort, Barnwei ,
Edgeheld, Abbeville and Andersen
should unite in holdinga Railroad
Convention at Abbeyille Court
House., in behalf Of the coutem.
plated route between Chicago and
| the Seaboard of our State. In sec
unding. and upholding this pruposi-
ton, we named the 18th of August
as a wise and available day for. the
meeting of. such Convention, aud
our friends of Anderson and Able
Vile having adopted our suggestion,
| the Convention will assemble at the
said time. The Anderson hteM-
qercer and the Abbeville Press &
Banner cordially approve the meet
ing and pledge the earnest cooper
alton of cheir people in the enter
prise. -, - ;,
In another column will be found
a call to the people of. our own
County to assemble in our Court
House on Saleday next, for the pur-
pose of choosing delegates to this
Conventional call which should
set. the citizens of Edgefelda to
thinking very seriously. As re-
cards the ultimate and even speedy
completion of the great railroad
line in contemplation there can be-
very little doubt; but as regards
EdgefieId being embraced in the
said line, there is no such certainty.
Such a glorious eonsummatlon
must depend upon Edgetield's en-
crgy, enterprise and liberality;
Therefore let.us meet in full force
in response to this call, and send to
AbbevilIe men strong. in intellect,
in speech, IN will, in spirit of enter
prise, and in love OF their native
section. And:let these men fight
for Edgefeld, and be empowered
to pledge Edgefeld's hand, heart,
and money! :, 49,. - -. X
!. We must not allow this grand
Road to be completed and Edge
field to be left out. If we do we
sink into eternal staguation and
insignifcance. ,M 'e.--@!.,.sl q
And in conclusion, let us.7warn
our people that if we do not build
our own portion Of this line, 4 no
one else viii probably build it for
us.-EgcfeM Adyerttser. 30.
