The OsciIInting Pump Company.

Fairbanks Il Co. are the sole and exclusive
agents Of the Sluthour Pump, owned and man
aged by the Oscllating Pump Company. They
are the simplest and yet the most efficient hand
pumps ever invented, their excellence being
fully attested by the fact that at the Centennial
and wherever exhibited, either in this country
or in Europe, the first premiums have been
awarded to the company for hand pumps, ship
pumps force pumps and FIRE pumps. The
smallest OF these pumps We observed worked
by little child, and, raising the water from a
depth of twelve feet forced it through hose
$50 feet long, and threw it with great force 100
feet. Water can be raised from wells at a
depth of forty feet with perfect ease. They
have been adopted by the Government in many
public works, and are coming in general use,
supplanting all other hand pumps 81. Louis

Prepare for War.

! I -
The latest telegraphic despatches from Europe
state "that the declaration Of war is imminent.
There will be no ultimatum, but simply o de-
clarstion Of war" .,
II 10 further believed by those who are most
likely to know, both in this country and Europe,
that nearly, IL not quite, all the most powerful
European Nations win be involved ini and that
It win be the most gigantic war known in mod
srn times.
With this prospect before them we ask the
Southern Planters and Fa, mers, what Is their
duty and vital INTEREST," viii Cotton or Provi-
sions be in demand and bring the highest prioesi
Take rational view of the prospect, and ask
yourselves if it is not more likely that there will
be moro mouths to feed in Europe than cotton
spindles, next Fall that it is more than likely
that cotton will 60 down to FIVE cents than corn
will be lower than one dollar and half and
that Bacon Flour and all other provisions will
60 up to war prices You say you are trying to
get out Of debt we'll, would it net be moro like
ly that you will be able to pay your debts by
raising provisions for sale ut high prices than by
raising Cotton to sell at about one-half what it
costs your Already Corn. Bacon and Flour have
taken decided rise in the Northern markets,
and as soon as the Arst gun is fred In Euro
pean war, there is no knowing what the demand
for provisions will be or how high the prices will
go.
This matter is Of greater importance to the
people of the Cotton region of the South than
| to the people of any other section, from the sim
pie fact that for years past they have bought their
provision at the North and West, and to-day
have none in store, and will have to buy them
still, at war prices, unless they at once 60 to
work and make them upon their own farms.
What is your prospect for getting out of debt,
If you make o large cotton crop and sell it at
five cents pound, because the European Facto-
ries are stopped, and have to pay 81 bushel
for corn, Sl3 or S15 barral for Flour and 25
or 80 cents pound for Bacon? To US the pros.
pect would be poor indeed. In that event the
Sheriff would pay your debts out of the sale of
your property, as far as the proceeds of the sale
would 90.
There is but little doubt now that war be-
tween Russia and Turkey will commence in o few
days, and, like storm that has been long gath
ering, it will be severe one, and It is but the
part of wisdom for the Southern Agriculturist
to so conduct his affairs that he will reap all the
benefits likely to flow from II.

Southern Historical Society.
As 1t is my purpose to visit Union very short
ly, in the interest of the Southern Historical So
ciety, think it desirable to lay before the read
ers Of tho TIMES" one or two considerations
which, respectfully suggest, should attract to
this Society the regard and earnest support Of
all true Southern men and women.
The Southern Historical Society, originally
organized TO gather up ard preserve all the
widely scattered records Of the war between the
States, entered last year upon the work of pub
lication in the form of monthly tract, ellis
torical.. Papers," and the wisdom of that course
has been abundantly sustained by the evidence
it has afforded that, had not such An effort been
home and abroad, would have::been buried under
mass Of falsehood, perversion and obl0quy,-
Abroad, this Society hos now warmly apprecia-
tive and highly interested supporters, and At
home, North rs we'll as South, the truth, as pc
riodically presented in its "Papers," is making
sure and steady progress. Rigidly abstaiuing
from partzan and sectional bitterness, its record
of truth has penetrated the clouds Of miscon-
struction, and is steadily gaining for the South,
It's PeoPie unu ltS intereStS, clenr ana calm ep-
prehension, the advantage Of which for our fu-
ture, moral, material, and political, is of incal-
culable moment.
We have, in the Southern Historical Society,
an institution presided over and directed by
to quote the words of that natures nobleman,
Gov. c. J. Jenkins of Georgia, addressed to the
present writer-"the brightest inte,lects and
purest hearts Of the South; her Institution in.
Guiding among its members from every Southern
State the acknowledged exponsnts of Southern
principle and Southern civilization.
To maintain this Society in vigor is to present
solid front to the insidious aggression Of those
demoraizing influences of falsehood about the
South and its people which, unrebuked and not
exposed, would initiate fearfally against all ef-
fort to rebuild on the basis of pure civilization
our shattered moral and material interests. The
intelligence of our people, thoughtfully directed
to the value Of the work undertaken by this Sc
ciety, and Of its great possibilities for widely
extended good, rs it grows in financial ability,
will readily supply further considerations for its
claims thnn in necessarily brief newspaper ar
tcle can be given. The readers of the .'TMEs''
will, feel assuie ed. value at its true worth the
testimony with which conclude this appeal to

last Monday that child Of Mr.. Charles Moore,
of Spartanburg, had fallen out of swing and
was killed. As the report is likely to hare be m

in stating that the lawful age, for road duty was
between 1s and As. On examining the laws
passed in 1874, we find that Chapte, XIV was
repealed, and q substitute enacted which re-
stored the clause making the lawful ages for
road duty between 18 and 45. The law we
quoted was passed in 1873, aud rs the law Of
1874 repealed all former laws inconsistent with
its provisions, the law Of 1873 is null and void.
