The amount of travel over the South Car.
olina Railroads is considerable larger this
summer than it has been heretofore, and we
are gratified to observe growing tendency
on the part of our people to spend their
summer vacations III travelling through the
mountainous regions of South Carolina, in
stead of frequenting the Northern watering
places and summer resorts. This is decided
ly an indication of good sense in the people
of South Carolina, for, by pursuing such a
course alarge amount of money will be spent
in developing our own beautiful scenery
which has no superior, instead of draining
the resources of our impoverished people to
keep up Northern resorts which are of no
conceivable advantage to us.

SANDY SPRINGS.

Rev. w. s. Black, of North Carolina,
came in few days ago to spend week
among his friends and relatives. He is en-
joying excellent health, apparently. On
Sunday, the 24th inst, he filled Sandy
Springs pulpit and preached from the text,
"He that winneth souls is wise" 1t was an
able and interesting sermon; which deeply
impressed.his audience with the power and
inestimable value of the mind or soul. He
expects to return on Thursday, the 2Sth.
We wish him pleasant stay and q safe

Blackman, the Superintendent, as we'll as

CUFFEE CREEK.

MIR. EDITOR: We have not troubled your
columns with any locals from this neigh
borhood up to this time, and would not do
so now, but having been visited on the 18th
inst. with terrific storm of rain and wind
which did immense damage. l do not be-
lieye we are a meaner set of people than
those in other sections; but it seems that
Providence is getting after us sharply. AT
ter the June freshet last year, we planted
over our bottom lands on this creek, and
had fair prospect Of crop, but the first of
August hail and rain storm swept down
upon us, destroying the crop irreparably !;
and now again this creek has been visited
with another terrible storm, which did very
great damage, destroying the fruit crop and
fruit trees, blowing down the wheat that
was cut and that which was not cut, level
ing our oat crop as fiat as if brush had
been dragged over it, blowing down nearly
all the fence on the writer's plantation, and
uprooting three large shade trees in his
yurd. One of them struck the top of the
house, breaking in the roof at one corner;
another just missed another corner of the
house. The two doors of the house on the
west side was so blockaded by fallen timber
that we could not get out on that side until
an axman had done n days work. 1t blew
down forage house in my horse lot, and
scattered it in every direction. The rain
poured in torrents, rushing down to the
creek, covering the crop in the bottom,
which was solid sheet of water from hill
to hill. Corn crops in the bottom land now
seem to be destroyed. They are covered
with mud and sand. The tract of the storm
is about one and @ half miles down this
creek to the junction of Twenty-Three Mile
creek, including the writer's farm, Messrs.
J. Owens, Hunter McMurtry's, r. W.
Simpsons, G. B. Whitten's and the Kelley
farm. Hundreds of trees were blown down,
which is great loss of timber. The rain
has continued up to this writing, the 25th
inst. The wheat that was cut before the
storm was all blown down, and got so wet
fear it will be greatly damaged.
But we are thankful we are left alive, and
have no mad dogs in this neighborhood; !;
but we have large number of poor, hun
cry, skeleton dogs that would make camp
meeting howl. if they were all there at one
time.

ScR1BSER FOE JULY opens with an illustrated
paper on "Bow-shooting," by Maurice Thompson,
who deals with his subject not in an archaeological
but in practical vein. Mr.. Thompson Is accus-
toned to shoot his game with the bow and he gives
his reason for preferrng it to the shotgun. There
are anecdotes of some Of his archery trips, chiefly
in Florida and Northwestern Indiana and explicit
directions are given as to the manufacture of the
implements, with suggestions about their use for
sport or pleasure. 'The Battle Of Bunkerloo," a
remarkable engagement not hitherto reported, is
described by William Henry Bishop, with illustra-
tons Of the opening of the battle and sketches of
the participants, among whom were Lord Nelson,
Benedict Arnold, Judas Maccabeus, "The Yelled
Prophet of KhOrassan" and the Gallant Six Hun
dred." A special feature of the number is story
of twenty-five pages by the Russian novelist, Tour
gueneif, entitled THE Noblcman of the Steppe," in
horse, upon whose identity the interest hinges.
Nj. George Inness, jr who has drawn two pictures
for this story is new acquisition to the ranks of
illustrators. RICHMOND since the War" is the
title of an illustrated paper by R. W. Wright, in
which the pluck and prosperity Of the Virginia

be much more interesting than her former article
which attracted so much attention. Among the
contributors of poetry are Philip Bourke Marston,

ssThe Sure Witncss.v

"Thc nineteenth century is the age of
novels" remarks literary historian-
might have added with equal truth land
novel impositions." Studied politeness has
been passed off on Ills for native refinement,
the forms of devotion for its essence, and
speculation for science, until we look
askance at every new person or thing, and
to an assertion Of merit, invariably exclaim,
"Preve it!' In brief, Satan has made him
self so omnipresent, that we look for his
cloyen foot eYerywherc-eyc in bottle of
medicine. Imagine lady, having COM
plexion so sallow that you would deny her
claims to the Caucasian type if her features
did not conform to it, purchasing her first
bottle of the Golden Medical Discovery.
The one dollar is paid in the very identical
manner in which Mr.. Taylor might be ex-
pected to purchase lottery ticket after his
experience with "No. 104, ,163," with this
difference, his doubt would be the result of
personal experience, while hers would be
founded on what certain practitioner )who
has been whole year trying to correct her
refractory liver) has said concerning it. AT
home, she examines the bottle half suspi-
ciously, tastes of its contents carefully, takes
the prescribed dose more carefully, and then
proceeds to watch the result with as much
anxiety as q practitioner would count the
pulse-beats of a dying man. She takes an
other dose, and another, and shows the bot
tie to her friends, telling them she .'feels
better" Her skin loses its bilious tint, her
eyes regain their lustre, her accustomed en-
ergy returns, and the fact that she purcha-
ses another bottle is sure witness that she
has found the Golden Medical Discovery to
be reliable remedy for the disease indica-
foI Tbo loIu I,-icn11y rncn1Unc fbot in th -
future her estimate of any medicine will be
based upon personal knowledge of its
effects, and not upon what some prac-
titioner (who always makes long bills
rhyme with pills. may say of it. DR.. Pierce
is in receipt of letters from hundreds of the
largest wholesale and retail druggists in the
United States stating that at the present
time there is greater demand for the Col
den Medical Discovery and Purgative Pei
lets than ever before. In affections of the
liver and blood they are unsurpassed.
