ErIToR TINES Yes, the fish
fry and picnic at Tyronza bridge
on Saturday the 9th day Of July,
was a complete success, and | will
give you few notes relative there
to: Our iolkes from the upper end
of the lake, (Carson's Lake. early
in the morning, took seats in the
bus prepared by cur genial friend,
Mr.. a. l.. CIssell, and were soon
cnronte for the place We ere
entertained during the journey
with the witty jokes Of our com
panions and tho gorgeous land
scape, which upon our left, was a
scene OF woodland and lake; while
upon our right were broad fields Of
growing crops. Woodland and
fields were reflected upon the bo-
som of the beautiful lake, which
was in truth an enchanting picture.
Ere long we were at the place Sc
lected for the fry There, We
met big crowd of people, some of
whom were from dear old Tcnnes-
see, others from Troy, Pecan
Point, Nauvoo aud Frenchman's
Bayou. | believe the entire low
er end of the county was represent
! ed, and equally contributed in
making up the joyful throng OF
people who had met to spend y day
in saying and doing funny things.
We had the pleasure Of meeting
some Of our dear friends of yore-
friends whom we had met at like
places among the scenes OF our boy
hood. Memory carried Us back to
the time when each day was Il day
of JOY, when childhood knew no
sorrow. The men In the immedi-
ate neighborhood were out fishing
when our party arrived, but soon
came IN with dug outs loaded with
the "big catch Of fish. Soon the
hsh were IN preparation Tor the
sumptuous feast, which was soon in
readiness, and general invitation
to partake OF the good things being
in behalf of the preparers OF the
feast extended to all present, the
mammoth liable was soon surround
cd by an industrious people trying
TO diminish tho huge piles of fish
and bread, the stacks of cakes and
, pies, and the quantity of other
, good things provided by the hos.
pinble preparers of the feast. Our
party did noble work, and, after all
had performed their tasks, several
; more townships could have been
supplied with fish, cakes, &c, to
have fed them beautifully. Short.
ly after dinner some one began
playing the fiddle and soon with
flying feet we chased the departing
hours, until coming night admon.
ished us that it was time to seek
our homes. In parting with our
friends we could but regret that
with them we could no longer stay.
Mr.. Editor, ] wish you had been
present, aud at the next fry hope

Friday Morning, April 1e, 1875,
A New Way Out of shlpwreck. .


The great feat of the dny is Captain
Boynton's swim ACROSS the English
Channel from Dover nearly to Boulogne.
He accomplished about fifty miles in
fifteen hours, the sen for part of the
time running high. He wus taken on
board the steamer which guided him
about 6 in the evening, against his own
wishes, in good condition, not tired, the
temperature of his body reduced only
one degree. and his clothes dry. The
pilot refused to take the responsibility of
conducting him in the dark as the wca-
thor was growing more boisterous His
failure to reach Boulogne WAS not due to
exhaustion on his part, and we may re-
gard the experiment rs sYccessful It is
to be repeated, and we have every rcason
to expect will be successfully achieved.
1t has been demonstrated that with the
life-saving dress one can accomplish five
times as much as without it, that he can
be supported on the surface of the water
for an indefinite period, that he travels
with comparative ease to himself, can
enjoy life and make his observations as
no goes along, can put up his signals
and guide himself to o point of safety.
Arrayed in. this India rubber armory,
and armed with his paddle, he is. COM
paratiyely safe on the great waters. He
carries his provisions, q sail to set when
the wind is favorable, his library, his
cigars to solace his solitude, and his axe
and knife for defence against Whatever
enemies may attack him. A general
chorus of admiration has greeted the
bold and inventive genius, who has
demonstrated by his. success that he has
diminished the danger of those who ego
down to the SEQ in ships" Life pre-
servers and friendly planks will honce-
forth be at q discount. and this apparatus
of Boynton will be the 'only wear" for
those who are compelled to part with
disabled or sinking vessels. AS the New
York World has it, abandoning his ship,
he can .''go on board of himself and
paddle merily ashore

DISEASED Digestion. If chronic intii-
gestion affected the stomach only, it
might be more easily borne; but it gives
rise, inevitably. to many other diseases
affecting the liver, the nerves, the bowels
and the brain. Biliousness, nervous
tremors, constipation, headache and
terrible mental disturbances ore among
Its usual accompaniment. In fnct,
every organ, every fibre Of the frame
sympathizes with the debilitated and
diseased stomach. What is needed in
such case? Clearly an alternative and
1nvlgorant; md among medicines of that
class, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters ia,
beyond NIL comparison or estimate, the
best. Mere purgatives only deprive the
system of the little strength that disease
has left it. Salivants have the same
effect The whole internal organism has
gone wrong, nnd can only be put eight
and kept right by medicine in which
the tonic and stimulating elements pre-
dominate, but are qualified and modi-
fed by anti-bilious nperients and blood
purifying components. Now, the truth
IS, (and the medical faculty ns well as the
public know the fact, that Hostetter's
Bitters contain every ingredient requi-
site for the cure of dyspepsia and all the
ailments of body and mind which it in
wolves. This has been proved in 30
many thousands of instances that it
seems almost idle to repeat the statement
The great tonic rallies exhausted ma
ture, from whatever cause enfeebled, and
permanently recruits the vigor of the
nerves, the muscles and the brain. It's
effect upon the brain is to give strength
to the will and precision to the judg-
ment, and to banish despondency and
that infirmity of purpose which generally
accompanies bodily weakness ..

Factory NoFFsss..MeAA number of Oranges


h Abbcville, Laurens and Anderson
Counties contemplate uniting their re-
sources in the establishment of or cotton
factory at Erwin's mills, on the fsaluda,
ixlniles from Honea Path, on the Green
vile and Columbia Railroad. Mr.. Erwin,
rs we learn from the Press and Banner,
has offered the site and water power as II
gift to the company, worth in money
about $4,000.
This is the best thing we have heard of
the Oranges doing, md the example of
Mr.. Irwin is worthy of high commcnda-
ton. .,
Books have been opened for the pur-
pose of securing the capital stock of n
new cotton factory in Augustn, Ga., as
we learn from the Augusta Chronicle
A large fine building, 5Oxl0o feet in length
and breadth, thrce-and-a-half storios
high, the. walls of great thickness. an
other standing near it ono story high
52x150 feet, both standing upon the Au-
gusta Canal. with ample grounds, are to
be subscribed by Mr.. james 4. Gray, at
q valuation of $4,000, to be taken in
stock of the company. The capital stock
to be $780, 900. OF this amount, if $780,
600 be taken in Augusta, Mr.. Gray cx-
poets to 80 North and raise the remainder
necessary. 1t is thought that the $50, 900
will be subscribed this week, $50, 900 of
it having been put down already. 1t is
contemplated to make checks, which
meet rcedy.salo at 45 to so cents per
pound. No mill in Augusta or in South
Carolina makes this class of goods.
Wo arc glad to notice in this conncc-
,tion that books have been opened here
flor subscriptions to the capital stock of
the Congareo Manufacturing Company
We trust capitalists will look into this
lmatcr and giYeea helping hand to. nm
enterprise which promises rich returns
The people of Columbia are under the
necessity of bestirring themselves for the
recovery and improvement of, their
trade. The loss of cotton and the whole
sale business is seriously felt. Manu-
featuring is the most inviting direction
to which they can turn their attention
and give their energies and means. It
will save the city from further decline
and build it up as nothing else can.

The BUILDING TRADE IN New YORK. =
The New York Tribune says the prospects
for the building trade for the coming
season in that city have not materially
improved since last year, when they
were not as good as in 1873. Several
reasons are assigned for the present dull
ness in the trade-the dullness in bust
ness generally, the reduction of rents
without II corresponding reduction in
the cost of building materials. which
have fallen off slightly since the last
year; The obstinate and uncompromising
attitude of the trades unions and the
consequent frequent strikes among the
workmcn.
