1 cannot close this letter without
relating some of the particulars of our
meeting at Stump Sound school house
last Saturday.
Soon after the club was called to
order Messrs. Benjamin p. Bethed and
}. W. Spicer was Introduced.
Captain Bethed responded in hap
Ply style. His address was not so long
as we wished but was we'll pointed
and set forth the the paramount neces-
hity of thorough organization and dis
clpllne in our ranks. L cannot in this
short letter do justice to his remarks
and will say thHt he halls from South
Carolina. Could not the old Palmetto
State send lis another b -thed-at least
during This campaign.
MIR. J. w. Spicer was next trOtted
ont, and for more than one hour held
the audience spell-bound. He tonched
npOn the political issues of the day
IL" thoroughly complimented the
Democratic party on such host of
t,u", tried and honest standard bear
ers and SAID quite to our satisfaction
that he should support both State and
National nominees, including lis late
competitor for the nomination of Legis- |
lative honors, Mr. John w. Shackleford
(Applause.) He thoroughly ragged |
the Radical party and threw some of
the heaviest shot in their ranks that it
has been our pleasure to witness for
many :. day. It was one of the very |
best efforts of his life and too mnch |
cannot be said about the purity of |
the address of the son who halls from |
the State of Stump Sound.

From the present outlook, 1t would
appear that the predictions earlier in
the season of revival Of general trade
along the Pacific coast so soon as the
new grain crop began to move, are
about to be realized. Already more
cheerful feeling is reported at the prn-
cipal places, and preparations are being
made for good seasons trade. The
larger ships are nearly all timed to get
there at or after harvest time, so as to
get return cargo of wheat to Europe.
According to the present outlook, not
less than 700 ships will load with wheat
at San Francisco and tributary ports
during the next twelve months. Wheat
is arriving at San Francisco at the rate
of thousand tons per day since July 1.
