4 DESTRUCTIVE HILL STOR.M

We learn that on Friday last the section
of country around Roberts Church, in this
County, was visited by a most destructive hail
storm, which destroyed the cotton and corn on
ON several plantations. Mr. S. j. Barrett, one
of the sufferers from the storm, brought to our
office on Monday last, several stalks of cotton,
with all the leaves beaten off, the branches
broken, and the bolls cracked and ruined, which
he said were fair samples of the way his cot
ton crop was destroyed. He also informed us
that his corn crop, which consisted of twenty
five acres were entirely destroyed, and that
many Sf his neghbors suffered in like manner
This is indeed bad for our fellow-citizens in
that portion of the county, who, one short
week ago, were happy in the prospect OF making
fine crops. The sufferers ought certainly to be
roIieved

The COMING Contest.

Therc,i is at present before the people of this
State question of momentous Importance,
which they will have to decide upon, either for
their veal or woe, before the coming election
for State officers Ever since the inauguration
of r K. Scott as Governor of South Carolina,
State affairs have been getting worse and worse.
Reform has ofttimcs been promised the people,
but never given, and now to-day we stand as
near the verge of ruin and dcsolation as any
people even the most oppressed of ancient or
modern times Reform is promised to us, even
now, in this our last extremity, and can we be-
lieve that it will be brought about after we have
been duped, swindled and ground down un-
der the heavy heel Of taxation and tyranny,
sor 10 these many years The people of the
up-country have already accepted the terms
laid down and the position allotted to them by
the government of the United States; and,
now, to-day, the general government in all its
republican magnanimity, wceps at the wrongs
imposed upon us, and is determined to DO some
thing in our behalf, provided an honest reform
in our State government is not effected at the
coming election. How did it happen that the
State became in debt, when so many different
binds of bonds were issued and made use OF
seemingly for State purposes7 Why is it that
we are taxed so heavily to support myth,
for, according to all accounts, our public mon
les are not disposed of to better our condition,
either financially or politically? The whole

formerly Of this place, but for the last few

was associated as partner with the flourishng

The monument is of the finest marble, beauti-

of our wrongs during the past two years have
been laid at the feet OF the State Executive
Chief, but in our opinion, allowing that all that
is alleged against him be true, we must admit
that as in the well devised government OF the
United States, after which model the various
State governments were formed, the legislative
and the judiciary are powerful checks against
the nefarious acts which might be committed
by the Executive. Of the latter branches, OF
both the general and State governments, the
legislative is at once the strongest aud most
powerful.
Now, it behooves the people Of the State to
weigh we'll the issues likely to be brought
abo.t by the coming contest, and determine
upon good, able and reliable men, for each
branch of the legislature, so that when the
time arrives for the election, they will be able
to send those whom they want and who Will
do them the most good. The time has come
when party issues should be d;sregarded, and the
entire people unite in one grand effort, Tor the
putting down of fraud and corruption, and the
bringing about of an honest and stable form OF
government The right steps have already been
taken in this matter by the people of the up
country and, we trust, the day is not tar dis
tant when we will all be united, and free from
misrule and oppression. Even if q kind Prov
idence makes us prosperous through the medi-
um of abundant crops, can we hope to better
our political condition when the majority of
our people are disunited. Does the present
tyrannical government under which we are
forced to live, SAVIOR of republican principles, Of
right or Of justice? Never before have the
people taken such degree of interest in coun-
ty and State affairs as they are doing at pres
ent and we are rejoiced to see it, for such is
the forerunner Of success. Concerning the
nomination of a suitable candidate for Gov
ernor, the people should wait for the ac-
ton of the Republican Nominating Conven-
ton, and ascertain whether or not 1t is their
intention to adhere to the principles OF reform,
which they have so strenuously advocated, by
nominating an able and honest candidate. II
not, then unite, and oppose probable danger
Gus crisis to the State, as it would be dctri-
mental to the interest of the general govern
ment, for the people of the United States to
elect foreigner to the position of President,
so it has been, and it will be against our dear
est interests to elect a carpet-baggcr to the po-
sition of Governor of South Carolina. Let us
then be up and doing, striving by our efforts
and influence to do all we possibly can to bring
about the desired change. Let us not be rash,
or form our judgments too hastily, but rather
weigh we'll what we are about 10 undertake,
and do it with will, and rest assured that we
will meet with SUCCESS sooner or later.

"Esther, the beautiful Queen" took place in
the Court House on Wednesday and Thursday
evenings, the 18th and 18th insts., and by the
request of delighted audience on Tuesday
evening last On all these evenings the Court

ing, both of which were rendered in happy
STYLE and to witness the different acts in this
grand drama of the East The interior of the
building was we'll lighted, the stage beautiful
" carpctcd, and the walls in the background
hung with tapestry. The throne, which ap-
peared far in the background, was well and
beautifully fitted up for the reception OF the
King and Queen. The acts commenced at

characters were as follows King Ahasucrus,
Mr.. A. G. Laughlin; Queen Esther, Miss Clara

These young ladies and gentlemen acted
their several parts remarkably well and elected
frequent applause from the audience. The
singing during the acts WAS very fine, particu-
larly the voices of Misses Orr and Eroyles. The
tragic portion of the drama, where llaman was
taken out to be executed, Zcrish's great grief
for the loss of her husband, and the supplication
to Queen Esther for lIamans pardon by his
daughter, little Ina Hill, was done in splendid
style Altogether the Cantata was ono OF the
finest and best performed, as we'll as one OF the
most beautiful and interesting entertainments,
that we have witnessed since the war.
